Everyone immediately turned to look at him.
Tony went straight to his outlandish fallback plan.
"Make a fuss about the Chitauri weapons and equipment left over from the Battle of New York."
After the Battle of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the military seized countless alien weapons belonging to the Chitauri.
This batch of alien advanced technology is priceless and has always been coveted by various forces.
This is perfect for developing a complete set of logic.
A unified official announcement will be made to the public.
The officially sealed Chitauri armory has long been the target of systematic theft by internal spies.
Numerous high-ranking politicians, military personnel, and top elites from various industries around the world have been bribed with huge sums of money.
The entire group was involved in the smuggling, distribution, and black market trading of alien weapons, forming a massive global black market network.
Once this explanation was given, all the previously vanished high- and mid-level Skrulls instantly had a perfectly reasonable explanation.
They didn't just vanish into thin air.
He was suspected of colluding with extraterrestrials in a major smuggling case and of treason and leaking secrets, and was investigated and forcibly arrested by the authorities.
Everyone suddenly understood.
This reason perfectly closes the loopholes.
It's large enough, impactful enough, and capable of supporting a large-scale global purge operation.
No matter how many people are involved, outsiders will only think of it as a transnational corruption case and will never associate it with foreign infiltration.
The plan was immediately approved by everyone.
The subsequent execution logic follows logically.
The official statements to be used externally have been finalized.
All personnel who have recently been eliminated, replaced, or detained are now listed as suspects in a major smuggling case.
Based on this, the deployment of troops no longer seems abrupt.
Rimuru's mass-produced Ultimate Nullifier are equipped with standard US military gear and operate under the guise of regular combat troops.
They openly and brazenly entered remote settlements and suburban communities around the world.
The reason is perfectly legitimate and impeccable.
The remaining gangs involved in the smuggling of alien weapons were dismantled, and fugitives involved in the case were arrested.
It doesn't matter if you're Skrull from the lowest rungs of society, a communal tribe, or some other race that looks like an ordinary commoner.
Anyone found in high-risk residential areas will be classified as a suspect and arrested and eliminated in a unified effort.
You're protesting your innocence?
You say you're just an ordinary member of your tribe and have never been involved in smuggling?
You're saying you've been innocent from beginning to end?
It's useless.
Everyone in the command center knew exactly what was going on.
Of course I know you're innocent.
I was deliberately framing you.
In order to preserve human civilization and completely eradicate the potential threat of future genocide, this systemic "wrongful conviction" must be carried out, albeit reluctantly.
Better to clear the wrong case than let it go unpunished.
Once the entire three-tiered crackdown was completely over, the situation would settle down.
The authorities then symbolically searched various outposts and found a batch of pre-arranged Chitauri weapons.
Physical evidence, case details, suspects, and arrest operations—all complete.
A massive global extraterrestrial weapons smuggling case has now been definitively confirmed.
The outside world will only be amazed by the horror of this transnational conspiracy, but will be unable to uncover any truth about the infiltration by a foreign race.
Finally, everyone got to the most troublesome issue of wrapping things up—the hundreds of thousands of Skrulls corpses.
Rimuru said it was no big deal.
Once everyone's attention was focused on him, he slowly spoke and gave his final solution.
He was given full control.
Rimuru's virtual space comes with its own complete material cycle and harmless ablation system (direct data digitization).
Whether it's dozens or hundreds of thousands of bodies, they can all be sent into another dimension in batches.
Complete, green, and harmless decomposition, dissolution, and reconfiguration.
It leaves no residue, leaves no trace, and does not pollute the Earth's environment.
No residue found, no abnormalities detected, all evidence completely erased.
That concludes the discussion.
From using public opinion as a pretext, to open action, to a comprehensive crackdown, to the disposal of bodies, and to the cleanup afterwards.
A flawless, comprehensive, and foolproof three-tiered ultimate cleanup plan has been finalized.
The command center, which had been feeling tense for days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No more sneaking around and living in fear.
There's no need to worry about the risks of exposure anymore.
From this day forward, all actions...
The cause is justified and aboveboard.
Next, a final, thorough, and comprehensive purge will be carried out against the hundreds of thousands of impoverished Skrull communities worldwide.
The moment the plan was finalized, the atmosphere in the entire command center changed instantly.
All my previous worries, concerns, and hesitations have vanished.
No need to hide anymore.
There's no need to hide it anymore.
There's no need to be overly cautious for fear of being exposed.
With the Chitauri arms smuggling case as a perfect cover-up, they now have a legitimate reason to act, and can do so openly and legitimately.
Fury immediately issued a global announcement.
The wording was serious, official, and forceful.
The content is simple and straightforward:
Alien weaponry left over from the Battle of New York has long been stolen by internal spies, who have colluded with high-ranking officials and industry elites from multiple countries to form a transnational smuggling network.
The scale of the case is unprecedented, with its hideouts spread across the globe.
We are now launching the highest-level, comprehensive crackdown to arrest all individuals involved in the case and dismantle all underground dens.
The announcement caused an immediate uproar worldwide.
The public was shocked, the media exploded, and countries around the world urgently followed up with updates.
Everyone's attention was completely drawn to this shocking transnational smuggling case.
No one doubted its authenticity.
This seems unbelievable, but upon reflection, it makes perfect sense.
These capitalists would take any risk if there was a 50% profit.
If they have 100% profit, they will trample on the law.
If there's a 300% profit margin, they'll risk their lives to do it.
And if it's a weapon left behind by an alien civilization, its value is practically immeasurable; no one would be surprised that they would do something like that.
All the doubts, rumors, and strange whispers left behind by the previous first and second-level crackdowns will be seen by the public as simply a way for these capitalists to divert attention.
Faced with this massive case, all previous anomalies were overshadowed.
The timing was perfect.
"The entire army is mobilized."
Rimuru's command, though calm, covered all combat terminals.
The next second, actions were taken simultaneously around the world.
Hundreds of thousands of Ultimate Nullifier robots were all refitted with a full set of standard US military combat equipment.
The formation, array, equipment, and armaments are exactly what a regular field army would look like.
The aura, formation, equipment, and tactics are all flawless.
To the average person, they appear to be well-trained, regular combat troops ordered to suppress terrorism.
The difference lies only in...
This army is absolutely obedient to orders, absolutely swift and decisive, and leaves absolutely no future troubles.
The target is: the outskirts of all cities, wilderness areas, remote towns, and uninhabited areas worldwide.
All the scattered, communal third-level Skrull lower-level groups.
Hundreds of thousands of Skrulls are still scattered in every corner of Earth.
Some people had already sensed something was wrong and were huddled in their settlements, trembling with fear.
Some people still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking it was just a routine screening that would be over soon.
A small number of bold and extreme individuals have quietly banded together, preparing to launch a desperate riot should anything happen.
But faced with an overwhelming, all-encompassing mechanical army,
All struggles, attempts to get away with it, and resistance are laughably insignificant.
Ultimate Nullifier combat squadrons moved into various gray areas.
Blockade streets, encircle villages and towns, cut off escape routes, and impose martial law throughout the region.
Wherever they went, they made a unified announcement.
"All personnel in this area are under investigation and control for suspected involvement in the smuggling of alien weapons."
"Stand still and do not move. Anyone who violates this order will be subdued on the spot."
The Skrulls in the settlement were completely dumbfounded.
smuggling?
Alien weapons?
Transnational case?
These lower-ranking members of the tribe simply stayed hidden and peacefully followed the group from beginning to end.
They knew nothing of the plans of the higher-ups, the transactions of the middle-level officials, or the arrangements of the foreign tribes.
They had absolutely no involvement in smuggling, not even the slightest connection.
In an instant, the entire settlement erupted in chaos.
Countless Skrulls frantically defended themselves, roared, and appealed.
"We don't!"
"We are innocent!"
"This is slander!"
Is it useful?
Rimuru, Tony, Captain America, Rhodey, and others, standing behind the army formation, could see everything clearly.
Everyone knows the truth in their hearts.
innocent?
Of course they're innocent.
But of course—it must be reset to zero.
The path to genocide lies ahead; mercy cannot buy peace.
If we let hundreds of thousands of the poor off the hook today, they will become the seeds of humanity's demise tomorrow.
Let's just solve this once and for all.
No matter how much they cried, pleaded, begged, or cried out for justice.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Ultimate Nullifier forces immediately carried out the suppression and eradication operation.
At first, many Skrulls were unwilling to accept their fate.
Seeing that explanations were useless and appeals were fruitless, fear reached its peak, and he completely unleashed his wild side.
The densely packed crowd instantly swelled and expanded.
Dark green skin covered his entire body, and patches of alien bodies awakened.
Hundreds of Skrulls revealed their true forms at the same time, creating an extremely terrifying scene.
Uprising, assault, breakout, desperate counterattack.
The chaos in scattered settlements quickly accumulated and escalated into simultaneous Riot in multiple locations around the world.
Unfortunately, the gap is overwhelming.
Standard military firepower is used for suppression first, followed by targeted restraint devices.
Their shapeshifting abilities were restricted, their alien physiques were suppressed, and their counterattacks were gradually dismantled.
A dense, surging wave of resistance crashed against the Ultimate Nullifier army.
They couldn't even splash water before they were forcefully suppressed and crushed.
There was no fierce struggle, only a one-sided purge.
Tangible military boots crushed intangible conspiracies.
A few closely knit and fiercely rebellious communities attempted to hold out by relying on the terrain.
Tony directly synchronizes battlefield data remotely.
Precision strikes from high altitudes landed, sealing off all stubborn strongholds.
We must eliminate the remaining stubborn resisters one by one.
Captain America led his team to guard the outer perimeter of the defensive line.
Prevent any escaped individuals from infiltrating human towns and completely block their escape routes.
Rhodey was stationed at the main military communications channel, maintaining the coordinated rhythm of all regular troops.
This made the entire large-scale crackdown appear perfectly legitimate, reasonable, and in accordance with procedures.
The battles across the globe were characterized by uniformity and decisiveness.
The Riot broke out and was swiftly suppressed.
They banded together to resist, but were instantly crushed.
They attempted to escape, but were intercepted instantly.
A wave of revolt by Skrulls in a city.
Faced with this legitimate, well-equipped, and absolutely Coldblood mechanical army,
From beginning to end, there was absolutely no chance of turning the tide.
As time went on, one settlement after another was cleared out.
The gray areas were completely eradicated.
On the global map, countless third-level red dots are disappearing in swathes at a visible rate.
It's no longer a cautious, single-point replacement.
It's no longer a clandestine operation.
It is a fair and just, comprehensive and ultimate reckoning.
The entire process was extremely noisy, yet completely reasonable and compliant with regulations.
To outsiders, it appears to be just a large-scale transnational crackdown on organized crime and terrorism.
No one could have imagined that this was a campaign to eradicate a lurking alien race.
As the battle ended, Rimuru opened the Kuscia Space Portal.
The battlefields were quickly brought to a halt.
All bodies, all remains, and all traces were uniformly sucked into the alternate dimension.
It enters a harmless cycle of ablation, completely erasing all evidence of its existence.
No bodies were left.
No bloodstains were left.
Leave no trace.
Leave no room for doubt.
Several weeks Skrulls passed since the last wilderness settlement was completely cleared and the last Skrulls was eliminated.
The Skrull Islands infiltration and purge operation, which swept the globe and spanned three levels of government, has officially come to a complete end.
The root of evil that lay dormant at the top of humanity is gone.
The parasites that had taken root in the middle class of society are gone.
The population of ethnic groups scattered across the world's underprivileged has also been completely wiped out.
