Chapter 75: The Failure of Supreme Intelligence
Looking at the Skrulls leaning on each other for support, Carol finally realized the truth—Yon-Rogg and the Kree had been deceiving her all along. Even though the Skrulls were beaten down and had nowhere to call home, they were still desperately fleeing from Kree pursuit.
Carol had always believed she was serving justice, hunting Skrulls to protect the stability of the universe. She never expected that, after all her efforts, she was nothing more than a pawn in the Kree's hands.
"The Kree blinded themselves with self-righteousness, using guilt over the war as a cover," Su Xiuyu said, patting Carol on the shoulder, trying to comfort her. "It's nothing but a race war, plain and simple."
"You're right," Talos muttered. "This war stained everyone's hands with blood. It's been dragged on for so long... My people were scattered across the galaxy, forced to embark on a hopeless search for a new home. But thanks to your help, Carol, I've finally found it."
Talos lowered his head in gratitude. Beside him, a young Skrull child sensed Carol's sadness, grabbing her hand and thanking her softly in Kree.
Before Carol could respond, heavy footsteps echoed in the control room. The Kree team had arrived—led by Yon-Rogg.
"Carol, when did you become so soft that you'd call the enemy your brother?" Yon-Rogg sneered, walking in with his team. They raised their weapons, aiming them at Carol and the others.
Su Xiuyu subtly suppressed his own energy, playing weak on purpose. After all, if he fought seriously, he could wipe out Yon-Rogg's team easily. But drawing attention was smarter for now.
"Don't you see what's happening, Carol?" Yon-Rogg said coldly. "You're standing there laughing and talking with the enemy. Have you forgotten who you are?"
"Yon-Rogg, stop lying!" Carol shouted, clenching her fists. "You're nothing but a Kree puppet! Even the Skrulls—whom you call 'aggressive locusts'—deserve better than this!"
"Be proud to be Kree!" Yon-Rogg roared. "Don't lower yourself to the level of these primitive natives! You were created for greatness, Carol!"
