Chapter 279 The Truth About Last Century Corpses

John Kler, representing the military, was not only furious but also slightly pleased.

The unexpected situation within S.W.O.R.D., once investigated, meant that the World Security Council would no longer show any mercy and would thoroughly scrutinize S.W.O.R.D.

At that point, Nick Fury wouldn't even have a chance to defend himself, and the World Security Council would likely directly convict him of crimes against humanity.

Assisting aliens to hide their identities and join a powerful international law enforcement agency.

Allowing aliens to judge humans?

Combining this with the Skrulls shape-shifting ability, which allows them to impersonate anyone around them.

If it weren't for Anton pointing out the existence of the Skrulls, they would still be unaware...

Isn't this a blatant crime against humanity?

Even if Nick Fury managed to argue his case, the World Security Council would no longer rely on the Black Egg.

A subordinate so deceptive and cunning would no longer be trusted by anyone.

This, of course, was good news for the military.

Previously, S.H.I.E.L.D., stationed in Washington and backed by the World Security Council, acted with impunity within U.S. territory, which had long irritated the military.

Now, not only had S.H.I.E.L.D. moved to Europe, but its subsidiary, S.W.O.R.D., also faced the risk of being dismantled, with Nick Fury half a step into prison. What could be better news than this?

Of course, amidst his pleasure, John Kler didn't forget Anton role in this.

The Men in Black had just been established, and Anton had just taken up his position when he sparked such an explosive event, undoubtedly satisfying the American side that first nominated Anton as the head of the Men in Black.

With this in mind, Kler immediately called Anton.

"It seems you've received the report."

Anton smiled, "How about it, did it send shivers down your spine? It very possible that there are Skrulls disguised as humans right beside you."

"Please, don't say that, I'm already getting scared," Kler said earnestly.

"Anton, are you sure of the authenticity of this information? You know, if this is true, the World Security Council will not spare Nick Fury. Nobody likes a subordinate who doesn't listen and acts on their own."

Although Kler was already convinced of the authenticity, he still wanted to hear a precise answer from Anton.

"Of course."

Anton knew what Kler wanted to hear and nodded,

"This information came from Batman. He was investigating S.H.I.E.L.D. when he accidentally gathered intelligence about S.W.O.R.D.... Coincidentally, you appointed me as the head of the Men in Black, which was perfect timing and opportunity."

"That puts my mind at ease."

Kler said, "Nick Fury is really in trouble this time... By the way, about the Skrulls abilities, if they can really transform into any one of us, can you recognize them?"

"It difficult," Anton replied.

"Skrulls can change their appearance at will, impersonate another person, and even copy their memories, making it nearly impossible to identify them. However, I recall that S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained a Skrull corpse last century..."

"Are you thinking of getting that corpse to figure out a way to counter them?" Kler quickly understood.

"Exactly," Anton nodded.

"The Justice League has the best research team in the world. Reed Richards scientific ability is not inferior to Tony Stark, Bruce Banner was formerly with your military, and you know him better than I do, as well as Curtis Connors, the Lizard, and so on.

If you can help me get the Skrull corpse to the Men in Black headquarters, I can definitely come up with a solution for you."

"Alright," Kler nodded. "I'll handle this. I'll coordinate with the American representative in the World Security Council to obtain the Skrull corpse and hand it over to the Men in Black organization."

"Also, I feel that if the World Security Council wants to deal with S.W.O.R.D., it might not be so simple. If needed, you can contact me anytime."

"As the head of the Men in Black, I'm happy to serve," Anton said.

"Don't worry, we won't be shy about it," Kler said before hanging up the phone.

The cooperation between the military and Anton had always been quite pleasant.

Even though each had their inevitable reservations, they always maintained consistency in their broader goals.

Kler was quite reassured by Anton promises.

Hearing the dial tone on the other end, Anton face broke into a smile.

He knew S.W.O.R.D. was doomed.

There was no need for him to exaggerate anything simply informing the military and the World Security Council of the current situation would ensure that they took care of S.W.O.R.D.

No one would feel comfortable with an alien capable of replacing them, having shape-shifting powers hidden within their organization.

And the current S.W.O.R.D., unlike in the original storyline that surfaced after the Endgame, is still a subsidiary of S.H.I.E.L.D., lacking the authority and power of the latter.

Once the World Security Council recognizes its true nature and decides to act against S.W.O.R.D., Nick Fury will have little room to maneuver.

The only ones who could retaliate are the Skrulls, especially with their shape-shifting abilities.

Anton remembered that in the comics, the strongest of the "Copycat Aliens," or the Super Skrulls, could even copy the abilities of those they mimic.

In other words, if a Super Skrull transformed into the Thing from the Fantastic Four, they would possess the Thing powers, being incredibly strong and impervious to harm.

If there are Super Skrulls in this world, it could lead to dire consequences.

Although the movie universe currently does not include Super Skrulls, Anton had seen from various short videos and news information about Marvel plans for their universe.

Secret Invasion was already on the agenda.

This indicates that some comic book settings will definitely appear in the movies.

Super Skrulls might already be present.

And among today superheroes, there might already be those who have been replaced.

"Nick Fury, all of this is a result of your arrogance, but you can't blame me."

After putting down his phone, Anton revealed a cold smile.

Meanwhile.

The World Security Council convened an emergency meeting.

The report from the Men in Black organization was laid before all the representatives of the countries attending the meeting.

This time, it wasn't just the five permanent member states representatives from other countries were also compelled to attend.

The information displayed in this report was truly shocking.

"Last century, during the Kree invasion, there indeed was a report indicating that S.H.I.E.L.D. had collected a corpse of an alien."

The representative from the United States stated,

"After research, this corpse was archived. If there is no mistake, this corpse is that of a Skrull, which is the subject of our discussion today."
