The conference hall gradually opened.
On the podium stood Tom.
"Everyone, I am Tom, the acting president of the Demon Group. After countless mutants and humans worked together, the last pains of New York have disappeared.
Of course, I know what everyone is most concerned about—the mastermind behind the alien invasion.
Now, let's bring him to the stage."
Two members of the Demon Group's team escorted Nick Fury onto the stage.
Nick Fury looked at the hateful gazes all around him, his face turning pale. This country had already fallen into the hands of the Demon King. The world was doomed.
"Let me introduce his identity. Nick Fury, former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., during his tenure, he embezzled funds to build safe houses and secret bases, researched world-destroying weapons, and helped aliens hide on Earth.
This alien invasion was a result of the weapons he researched."
Tom spoke with absolute certainty, backed by solid evidence. The embezzled funds alone amounted to billions, and there were many more off-the-books transactions that were even harder to imagine.
Tom began to suspect: Is this the tradition of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
"Do you have any evidence? You can't just expect us to believe anything you say!" a reporter raised their hand to question.
The surrounding reporters cast puzzled looks at him.
"Of course, everyone, please take a look at the big screen."
Tom smiled slightly. This reporter was one he had arranged.
On the big screen, Nick Fury appeared, asking a person why the Tesseract had shown signs of movement. Suddenly, the Tesseract activated, and a figure appeared before the screen went black.
Next, another video appeared—showing the stage two missiles, accompanied by detailed data. Anyone who went to university would understand—these were world-destroying weapons.
"Oh my God!"
"Nick Fury, you son of a…"
"You madman, creating weapons to destroy the world…"
"Go to hell!"
The people in the hall, as well as the viewers watching the live broadcast, erupted in anger.
Nick Fury's face was pale. He knew it was all over. This country—and the world—was now under the Demon King's control.
"Mr. Tom, you said the aliens Nick Fury helped hide on Earth were the ones who invaded this time?"
A female reporter raised her hand to ask.
"No, the aliens Nick Fury hid on Earth have been here for decades, and their abilities are more dangerous than the Chitauri."
Tom waved his hand.
They then brought up a black woman.
"Damn it, this has nothing to do with her!" Nick Fury struggled angrily, but was soon hit with a knee strike, knocking him to the ground, gagging.
A black reporter frowned and stood up.
"Mr. Tom, this is just an ordinary black woman. If you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we'll sue you for discrimination."
Tom didn't explain, but looked at the black woman.
"Let's begin! The first target is this reporter."
Before the reporter could understand what was going on, the black woman on stage's appearance changed.
She transformed into his likeness.
Everyone was shocked. Mutants had similar abilities, with Mystique being the most famous, but why were these aliens more dangerous than the Chitauri?
"Please introduce yourself to everyone," Tom said, handing her the microphone.
"My name is Ahmed. I'm 45 years old, graduated from Virginia Union University with a major in Mass Media. I currently have 2,000 in savings, and my hobbies are gambling and smoking marijuana…"
As the alien introduced itself, most people were confused, but a few people looked grim. They realized this alien's true power.
"Enough, shut up! Don't say another word!"
The black reporter was sweating bullets, wanting to rush up, but was stopped.
Tom saw it was almost time and signaled for them to stop.
"Now, let me introduce this alien. His name is Skrull.
Their ability, besides disguising their appearance, is to copy memories.
Initially, they can only copy a few months' worth of memories, but with prolonged contact, they can copy all memories.
And the Skrulls' disguises are usually difficult to detect through normal genetic testing."
The entire hall fell silent. Everyone's faces turned pale, especially the high-ranking officials and leaders from other countries.
They looked around at each other, filled with doubt and unease. Could someone around them be a Skrull in disguise?
No wonder S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence capabilities were so impressive—this was their secret weapon.
"Of course, please don't worry. During this period, we've asked Professor X to find all the Skrulls on Earth, and they've already been secretly detained. Please rest assured.
Now, please welcome Mutant Professor X."
Tom knew that the fear had spread, and it was time for Professor X to come out and ease the tension.
Charles smiled warmly and stepped onto the podium.
Most humans were familiar with his abilities. However, with the alien invaders as a new threat, and Professor X's significant contributions during the New York Mutant War, everyone had a favorable view of him.
Charles sensed the emotions around him and smiled even more genuinely. For the first time, he felt so loved by so many people.
He then began his speech.
"This is not my achievement alone; it's a victory for all of humanity. Without humanity, there would be no me. Mutants are like children who have never received love; how pitiful they are…"
His voice was full of emotion, and many of the audience and viewers watching the broadcast became teary-eyed.
In a private room, Kelly and Anna were crying uncontrollably.
"Bobby, when you were little, you were so pitiful. I'll take care of you with Mom's money from now on."
Anna clung to Bobby's arm.
"Right, from now on, I'll take care of you."
Kelly lovingly cradled Bobby's head on her chest.
Bobby wanted to say something but was silenced.
Others who understood the situation said nothing. Humanity truly owed Professor X a debt.
President Matthew also watched this scene and knew that the mutant-related legislation would pass smoothly.
Nick Fury looked at everything in despair, unable to make a sound.
Nick Fury's wife stared blankly at the scene.
Tom's earpiece crackled with Dr. Zola's voice.
"Mr. Tom, we detected high-energy reactions from within the solar system. It's expected to reach Earth in three minutes."
"Understood."
Charles's expression shifted, and he quickly ended his speech, stepping aside.
"To ensure fairness, we'll let Nick Fury say a few words."
Nick Fury froze, pushed onto the podium.
However, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip. As long as he spoke the truth, it would plant a seed of doubt.
Everyone's gaze turned hateful.
But the reporters, maintaining professionalism, politely asked.
"Mr. Nick Fury, is everything Tom said true?" (The use of "Nick" as a racial slur was noticed.)
"How did your parents raise you? How could you betray this country?"
"Why are you silent? Where did all your funds go? Were you using them to take care of those aliens?"
"What does it feel like to encounter a Skrull? Can you explain?"
Nick Fury opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
His mental resilience, even as a special agent, couldn't withstand the collective hatred of all humanity.
Quote: "The truth, no matter how painful, will eventually surface."
