Rimuru arranged a military deal for Terminators, then uncovered the vast Skrull presence on Earth and resolved to stop it. With the Avengers backing him, he developed a covert plan to replace Skrull infiltrators, but Carol opposed his decision to eliminate them and was left speechless by his argument.

• Rimuru gave Pepper a blessed bracelet, showed Rhodey Asgardian liquor, and offered the military Terminators in exchange for help securing land for an Avengers headquarters.
• Rimuru warned Tony that an autonomous mechanical army could become dangerous, then recognized that the T-1000’s disguises reminded him of Skrull infiltrators and told Tony, Rhodey, and Pepper about the threat.
• Rimuru confronted Nick Fury over the Skrulls’ decades-long infiltration and their potential plans to replace humanity, then learned that hundreds of thousands might be on Earth.
• Rimuru proposed quietly transforming high-ranking Skrull infiltrators into T-3000s, while the Lord of Wisdom helped him develop a plan for new Terminators that could infiltrate Skrull ranks and spread the transformation.
• Tony and Banner built a device to detect Skrulls, and its test revealed more infiltrators than expected just as Carol returned to Earth.
• Rimuru brought Carol, Fury, and the Avengers to a meeting on his virtual planet and explained that he intended to eliminate the Skrull forces threatening humanity.
• Carol argued that most Skrulls were refugees and that their survival instinct did not justify killing them, but Rimuru said their population benefited from replacing humans and chose humanity’s survival over theirs.
