The problem is solved, so now it's my turn to show off.
Seeing that everyone was still shaken and their brows were tense and solemn, Rimuru slowly raised his hand and gently pressed it down.
His expression was calm and composed, his tone steady and deep, conveying an air of absolute certainty that calmed the chaotic emotions of everyone present.
There's no need for everyone to be so anxious, nor is there any need to be overly pessimistic.
"Frankly speaking, while the Skrulls infiltration threat appears overwhelming and deeply entrenched, with hundreds of thousands of people occupying the Earth, seemingly a dead end and a mess, in reality, the Daju remains in our hands."
He spoke at a measured pace, each word clear and distinct, landing steadily in everyone's ears.
"I am fully aware of the dilemma you were just concerned about. A slow crackdown risks exposure, while a rapid crackdown risks unrest. It's understandable that you are caught in a dilemma, unable to act decisively."
"But you must understand, the real initiative has never been in the hands of the Skrulls, but in ours."
"They believed they had been lying in wait for years, infiltrating the entire region, and silently seizing control of the Earth's lifeline, seemingly holding a significant advantage and possessing hidden strengths."
"But from beginning to end, they were nothing more than ants hiding in the shadows, lurking and lying low. They never truly controlled the situation, much less had the power to break the deadlock or bring it to a close."
Rimuru's gaze swept over Tony, Steve, Fury, and their group, his expression calm and resolute.
"I don't understand why everyone is discussing how humanity is trapped by foreign races, as if this ancient battlefield on Blue Star is destined to be fraught with danger for us."
"Twenty years ago, the Kree embarked on their conquest of the Skrulls, unifying the three great empires. Wherever the Kree went, the Skrulls scattered and fled. They truly had the advantage of perfect timing. Then, our Earth took in the exiled remnants of the Skrull. At that time, the two races coexisted and their civilizations blended, and the world was thriving. That vibrant scene of life and flourishing life seems as vivid as if it were still before my eyes."
"But who could have imagined that in just twenty short years, the situation would be completely reversed, as if our homeland is about to become the burial ground of human civilization! No matter how you look at it, the troop strength in this battle is billions against hundreds of thousands, the advantage is on our side!"
A passionate and eloquent speech was delivered.
The entire space was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The Avengers stood frozen in place, all looking completely dazed.
Everyone stared blankly at Rimuru, who was talking eloquently.
I don't know why, but I couldn't understand most of what was said.
What about the Kree conquests, the rivalry between two races, and the civilizational landscape of twenty years ago?
They had absolutely no concept of these past events or the grand trends of the universe.
But Rimuru's aura was too strong, his tone too fiery, and his expression too confident.
The resounding words struck with an inherent sense of commanding authority.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds: So inspiring, so domineering, so incredibly impressive.
But where exactly does it burn?
Which cosmic history is being referred to?
What is the underlying strategic maneuvering behind these words?
Everyone was completely bewildered and had no idea what to do.
They felt that Rimuru in front of them was very much like a mysterious old friend they remembered, someone with a strong aura who loved to speak in public.
Their posture, demeanor, and eloquent manner were exactly the same.
Unfortunately, they lacked experience and information, and couldn't keep up with the pace at all.
No one interrupted, no one questioned, and no one dared to break the silence.
A group of Earth's most powerful superheroes just stood there quietly.
Just wait patiently for Rimuru to finish that pretentious line.
Rimuru slowly finished his speech, bringing it to a close.
The scene remained deathly silent.
Everyone stared at him blankly, their eyes glazed over and their faces full of confusion.
There was no applause, no response, no moment of sudden realization or emotion.
It's basically a case of "You're speaking so eloquently, but I didn't understand a word you said."
Rimuru was speechless at the sight of this awkward scene.
I sighed inwardly; it was definitely like casting pearls before swine.
I had just spent half a day radiating emotion and unleashing my full power.
As a result, these people listened to nothing the whole time and didn't get anything out of it.
The attempt to show off backfired, which was somewhat embarrassing.
He was too lazy to talk about these grand cosmic trends and historical patterns anymore.
Let's tone down our aura, get back to the point, and speak frankly.
"Alright, I won't say anything more."
"Rest assured, everyone, we have the complete plan to deal with the Skrulls."
That one sentence instantly drew everyone's attention.
Tony immediately looked up, his eyes full of curiosity.
He had exhausted all avenues of thought, and he genuinely couldn't think of any other way to break the deadlock.
Rimuru didn't keep them in suspense and revealed his plan directly.
"The previous T-5000 and T-3000 were not compatible, so we won't force them to be used."
"I'll just build a completely new batch of Ultimate Nullifier."
Everyone was taken aback. Build a new machine? Is it too late to build a new machine now?
Rimuru continued to explain, making the solution given by the Lord of Wisdom crystal clear.
"I can analyze the Skrulls ' genes and fully extract their shapeshifting and camouflage abilities."
"Furthermore, I will combine this with my mature bio-metal technology, and re-integrate and reconstruct it from scratch."
"This newly created Ultimate Nullifier will come with Skrull- level perfect Mimicry, achieving true seamless camouflage."
The moment Rimuru finished speaking, everyone present suddenly understood.
The knot that had been stuck with everyone for ages suddenly became clear.
Tony's pupils contracted sharply as he instantly understood the logic behind the plan.
Everyone then fully understood that it wasn't the T-5000's transformation strategy that was flawed, but rather the fatal shortcomings of the old model.
The previous T-5000 could forcibly modify the Skrulls, turning them into T-3000s.
However, the flaws are obvious, making large-scale deployment impossible.
First, the T-3000, once successfully transformed, will completely lose the Skrulls shapeshifting ability.
His disguise skills have been completely wiped out; he won't be able to sneak back for long before his identity is exposed.
Second, the conversion of older models is unstable and has a certain probability of failure.
If the transformation fails, the target will be instantly killed; any commotion will immediately alert the enemy.
Most importantly, the modified T-3000 lacks the capability for secondary conversion.
It can only operate as a standalone machine; once you modify one, that's it—there's only one left, making it impossible to form a chain of penetration.
It is inefficient, has many flaws, and is high-risk, making it completely unsuitable for a cleanup operation involving hundreds of thousands of targets.
But the new machine Rimuru is going to build this time will solve all the problems at their root.
Rimuru then spoke up, revealing the most outrageous and crucial advantage of this plan.
"This new batch of Ultimate Nullifier Mimicry far exceeding that of the T-5000."
"His appearance, scent, subtle physiological features, and racial habits are all indistinguishable from those of Skrulls."
"They can blend into any ethnic group or any low-level squad without being detected as anything amiss."
"Moreover, it retains the core capability of modification and assimilation, and like the T-5000, it can transform Skrulls."
"The most crucial point: the modified Skrull retains its full transformation ability and can continue to assimilate the next target."
Upon hearing this, a huge weight was lifted from everyone's hearts.
The old approach was a single-point operation, which became less and less effective with each modification, and was increasingly easy to expose.
The new plan involves viral chain-like spread, perfect disguise for everyone, and complete stealth.
Rimuru continued to fill in the gaps in the plan's logic, thoroughly explaining the final breakthrough point.
"After the new machine infiltrates the lower-level Skrull tribes, it will do so without violence, without fighting, and without causing the slightest disturbance."
"They will subtly assimilate their own kind, and the assimilated individuals will not lose their ability to disguise themselves."
"It can continue to lie dormant, continue to transform, and infiltrate and replace layer by layer."
Everyone felt a huge sense of relief, instantly realizing the terrifying nature of this countermeasure.
Previously, everyone was stuck in a vicious cycle of dilemmas.
A slow, deliberate approach to extermination, if delayed too long, will inevitably alert the Skrulls to their unusual activity.
The proactive and swift extermination efforts were so large that they directly provoked a nationwide Riot among the Skrulls.
But now the thinking has completely reversed.
You Skrulls are skilled at infiltration, stealth, and human replacement.
Then we will repay them in kind.
If you can replace humanity from the inside, I can completely replace your entire race from the inside.
Throughout the entire process, it will not disrupt human social order or cause any disturbance to the outside world.
Hundreds of thousands of lower-class Skrulls will be assimilated and replaced without anyone realizing it.
