Chapter 104: Secretly Crossing the Border
"What exactly is going on!?"
Pepper Potts looked at the two Tonys in front of her in horror.
"Pepper, do you remember how much merit I said you contributed to the construction of Stark Tower?" Tony asked, vigilantly watching the other himself, without turning his head.
"12%, 15% at most, why are you asking this now?" Although she didn't know why, Pepper still answered him.
"Oh, nothing." Tony was verifying Pepper's identity. The answer to the question above came from a conversation between the two of them. If someone even knew this, then he would admit defeat.
"Hey, this behavior of yours is copyright infringement, you know that?" Seeing that Pepper was fine, Tony returned to his cynical attitude.
"I'll sue you until you're bankrupt."
"It seems you don't really like it when others turn into your appearance." Fake Tony smiled evilly and changed back to his original form, a pool of purple viscous liquid.
That's right, this was Yang Le who had transformed into a Lenopan. The Lenopan's ability is to mimic other people or objects, which can be understood as the Skrulls of Marvel.
However, the Lenopan's mimicry ability is much stronger than that of the Skrulls. Not only living things, but Lenopans can even mimic inanimate objects and plants.
Although Yang Le returned to his original appearance, he still maintained a human form. After all, this was also the form he was most accustomed to, and the Omnitrix symbol was also moved to his chest by him.
"Are you sent by the Plumbers?" Tony noticed the Omnitrix symbol on Yang Le's chest.
"That's right, I am an agent of the Plumbers. In Earth language, my race is Lenopan, you can call me Goop."
Yang Le stretched out his right hand and thoughtfully turned his right hand into a human style, without the purple mud constantly rolling on it, which made Tony feel much better.
"I heard this is the Earthlings' way of greeting." Yang Le grinned, pretending to be a visitor from outer space.
Seeing this, Tony also shook hands with Yang Le, but his face was still not very good-looking, obviously still brooding over Yang Le turning into Pepper.
"I'm Steve, nice to meet you, friend of the Plumbers." Steve also stepped forward to shake hands with Yang Le, and introduced everyone to him one by one at the same time. (I skipped the introduction.)
"Nice to meet you all." Yang Le greeted everyone.
"If there are no accidents, we will be cooperating for a long time in the future. If there is anything offensive, please bear with me, after all, I am an alien and don't quite understand the customs of Earthlings."
"I have something in common with you on this point." Thor walked up to Yang Le and said seriously. "Sometimes I don't understand what Earthlings are thinking either."
"Mr. Goop." Steve hesitated for a moment, but still called out to Yang Le.
"Just call me Goop, and can I call you Steve?" Yang Le interrupted Steve. "We are colleagues in the future, honorifics are still unnecessary."
"You know our honorifics?" Steve frowned.
"Translator." Yang Le pointed to the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
"The badge of the Plumbers is not just good-looking, it can also translate your language into a version that we can understand, and even localize it. Similarly, what I say will also receive the same treatment."
It has to be said that some of the small abilities attached to the Omnitrix are actually even more outrageous to hear. This translation function is just one of them.
"Amazing." Steve sighed, and then said.
"Actually, in the eyes of us humans, randomly turning into someone else's appearance is a kind of, uh, very impolite behavior."
"Oh, I see." Yang Le looked surprised.
"No wonder Tony seems very angry, so that's the reason, I'm really sorry."
Yang Le's last sentence was addressed to Tony and Pepper together, and two tentacle-turned signboards stretched out behind him, with two big 'sorry' written on them.
"Stark." Steve looked at Tony, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Angry? No, Mr. Stark is not angry." Tony took off his battle suit and denied the fact that he was angry decisively.
"He's still a little angry." Steve leaned closer and whispered to Yang Le.
"But it's okay, it will be fine after a while, he is like this, you will know after getting along for a long time."
"Thank you." Yang Le then looked at Pepper, and the signboards behind him expanded a little more.
"I don't mind." Pepper's expression was a little strange.
"It's just that my brain is still a bit messy, I think I may need to adapt for a while."
"That's great." Yang Le breathed a sigh of relief and put away the signboards behind him.
"Actually, I did this to remind you."
"Remind us?" Bruce Banner looked at Yang Le in puzzlement.
"That's right, the universe actually has more than just our Lenopan race that possesses the ability to disguise as others." Yang Le explained.
"The Ice Ghost Commander sent me here to prevent similar aliens from lurking among us, and also to remind you."
Everyone's expressions became serious. A spy who could disguise himself as anyone's appearance was definitely a very terrifying enemy.
"You can rest assured about us Lenopans, we work for the Plumbers."
Yang Le patted his chest, nonsense, he is the only Lenopan in this universe, of course he can vouch for the whole group.
"But you have to be careful about another race." Yang Le changed the subject and said seriously.
"They are Skrulls, and they also have the ability to mimic other creatures. At least in terms of creature mimicry, they are not inferior to us."
"Can you tell us in detail about the intelligence of those Skrulls?" Steve looked at Yang Le with a serious expression.
"Of course, the information of the Plumbers records that they seem to have become universe refugees, wandering around, and we don't know where they are specifically." Yang Le pretended to think for a while.
"Our Plumbers are worried that they will be recruited by Thanos. If that is the case, it would be too terrifying, so they sent me here."
In fact, they were raised by your Nick Fury boss, of course Yang Le couldn't say it directly, because he wanted to rely on this incomplete news to achieve a purpose.
"Do you have a method to identify them?" Natasha asked. As a trump card spy, she knew best the horror of the Skrulls. This race was simply born for espionage.
"Of course." Yang Le was secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface. Although his face was just a pool of flowing purple mud, others could not see his facial expressions.
"Just scan with the scanning function of the Celestial Craftsmanship Guild Badge, it can distinguish the race of the scanned creature, and no one can escape its 'eyes'."
Jie Jie Jie, Asgardian Gene GATE DAZE!
That's right, Yang Le acted for so long just for the Asgardian Gene, and also to pave the way for scanning others legitimately in the future.
This wave is Chinese tactics, called secretly crossing the border.
