Chapter 949: Anti-Thanos Alliance
As we all know, humans on Earth are uniquely talented in sharing risks and dragging everyone to die with them.
As a diplomatic note was sent, the orbit of the earth and the moon was soon crowded with spaceships from various forces and civilizations in the universe.
Especially as the two most powerful interstellar empires at present, the Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire both sent heavyweight envoys and an entire fleet of unprecedented scale and fully armed.
Because they all know what the Infinity Stones mean and how terrifying it is when all six are gathered together.
After all, Odin, who led Asgard to conquer all over the world, almost succeeded.
Every civilization with a slightly longer history has a deep memory of this.
So they will never allow a similar situation to happen again.
What’s more, there is a big difference between Thanos and Odin.
That is, the latter only wants to use the Infinity Stones to become the overlord of the entire universe, and all other civilizations will surrender to the Asgardian protoss.
But what about the former?
The former is an out-and-out psychopath who wants to directly eliminate half of the population in the universe through the power of infinite stones.
Especially for those civilizations that have evolved to very advanced levels and have low fertility rates, it is simply a disaster.
Many ruling class elites who have extended their lifespan and achieved promotion through various methods, once they are unlucky enough to be eliminated, the power structure of the entire civilization may be unbalanced and destroyed. leading to power struggles and even civil wars.
If those super geniuses who lead cutting-edge research are killed, it may lead to a series of serious consequences such as technological stagnation.
So Thanos ostensibly puts all life on both sides of the scale fairly, and then decides which half of them deserve to die and which half of them can stay by rolling the dice.
But in fact, anyone who knows a little bit about society and history will understand that from the perspective of civilization and development, human life has never been equal.
Some people’s lives are just more precious than others.
Because without outstanding politicians, it is impossible for a divided and war-prone country to unify, let alone to get rid of poverty and backwardness so that the people at the bottom can live a good life.
Without outstanding philosophers and thinkers, people would not be able to break the mental shackles of ignorance and backwardness, recognize the truth behind exploitation and oppression, and then launch a revolution to overthrow the old vested interest groups and establish a new order.
In the same way, some cutting-edge science relies on the inspiration of one or a few geniuses to achieve breakthroughs from zero to one.
Then with the development of science and technology and the improvement of productivity, people's living standards will get better and better.
This is why any mature country or even civilization will protect its political leaders, top scientists and scholars in other professional fields.
Because protecting them is defending order and civilization itself.
And Thanos's act of randomly wiping out half of the population is actually not just as simple as cutting off half of the population.
What's really scary is the chaos that can ensue after randomly wiping out key people.
If on a planet, most of the upper-class elites are randomly eliminated, then the entire ruling system may collapse and disintegrate, and the bureaucracy will become corrupt and degenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually lose its ability to govern. Society has become a breeding ground for crime.
No civilization that has entered the interstellar age would want to see such a situation.
So after receiving the invitation from the People's Federation, they responded as quickly as possible.
Right now, the huge conference hall built on the original site of the United Nations is densely packed with alien representatives from the empty universe.
Some of them look similar to humans, but most of them are life forms that are completely different from humans.
This undoubtedly brings unimaginable huge trouble to SHIELD, which maintains order and security at the scene.
As the current deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daisy Johnson, the vibration wave girl, was sweating profusely at this moment and was completely shocked by this scene that she had never imagined in her dreams.
Because even before the establishment of the Awami League, there were less than two hundred countries on the earth.
Even when a plenary meeting is held, there are only a few hundred people on site including all the staff.
But now, there are a hundred thousand aliens in this venue.
And some of these civilizations are unrelenting enemies.
Before the meeting officially started, at least forty intense physical exchanges broke out in the venue.
Although these aliens came without any weapons out of courtesy, this does not mean that the injuries were not serious.
Especially for several groups of enemies who have formed an undying blood feud and are rushing to kill each other almost as soon as they make a move.
But the problem is that it has been too short for the earth to become a star civilization, and the universe is so big. It is impossible for the People's Federation to establish a complete database in this regard. It has no idea which civilizations have enmity with which civilizations.
When those civilizations with deep grievances find that the butcher sitting next to them is the butcher who killed their own compatriots, they will naturally lose control of their emotions and take some drastic actions.
The only good thing is that there have been no deaths so far.
Otherwise, this cosmic conference held by humans on Earth will most likely turn into a farce that will be ridiculed.
"Damn! The people above are crazy! They actually invited so many civilizations at once! Don't they know that we have no experience in this area?"
After just using her own vibration ability to separate the two entangled diplomats, Daisy Johnson, who was covered in sweat, smoothed her hair hanging down from her ears and complained out of breath.
As an airborne deputy director promoted by the top management of the People's Federation, she knew very well that she was simply not capable of managing such a large and complex organization.
The reason for reaching this position is entirely due to political considerations.
Because the People's Federation has taken a fancy to the power of the Inhumans and wants to completely absorb them into the "human" family.
In order to win the trust of the other party, Daisy Johnson took the position of deputy director and became a bridge of communication between the two parties.
Unlike other deputy directors of S.H.I.E.L.D. who hold great power, the number of people who directly take orders from her is not many, and almost half of them are recruited Inhumans.
Obviously, the Human League is constantly absorbing Inhumans with superpowers for their own use through this slow-cooking method.
After all, they obviously trust these "own people" more than the mercenaries hired from Baator Hell to work for money.
Although compared with ordinary humans, the Inhumans are very different at the genetic level, appearance or abilities.
Especially the ethnic groups discovered on the moon have already established their own independent political power.
So normally, there should be very intense conflicts and contradictions.
But the problem is that after seeing the vastness of the entire universe and the strength of those top civilizations, the vision of the elite ruling class of the People's Federation has broadened.
In the face of those grotesque alien races, what does this difference between humans and the Inhumans mean?
At least both sides have common ancestors in ancient times.
Facts have proved that when external pressure and threats are strong enough, internal conflicts will naturally be alleviated or even eliminated.
After all, ensuring survival comes first.
What's more, the population of the Inhumans is not large to begin with, so even if they are given huge benefits, it will not really harm the interests of any group.
In addition, their abilities happen to be what the People's Federation needs most at the moment, so they will naturally be attracted and given preferential treatment.
Another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent next to him smiled bitterly and explained: "There is nothing we can do about it.
After all, we are facing Thanos this time who holds the Infinity Stones.< br>
The People's Federation urgently needs help from the outside world.
And these invited alien civilizations are our potential allies. ”
“Allies? Stop it! Look at all the colorful blood on the ground. If they really send a fleet here, they might start fighting before Thanos arrives. ”
Daisy Johnson rolled her eyes angrily.
She is now extremely grateful that she applied for a team of Astartes warriors to help maintain order at the scene.
When these tough men wearing power mechas, each about two and a half meters tall, and their appearance alone was full of intimidation, stood in the middle isolation zone, those alien representatives who were originally eager to take action immediately became honest. A lot.
After all, these most elite warriors of the People's Alliance have made their reputation with the blood and death of their enemies in the external expansion and colonial wars.
Especially for fierce gang-hopping operations like interstellar pirates, it often only takes a few dozen or even a dozen people to seize control of a battleship, and maybe even kill all the enemies on the battleship. .
The skulls of different colors carved on the power mecha represent the number of enemies each warrior has personally killed.
The ordinary dark red copper skull mark symbolizes the killing of one hundred enemies, while the silver represents one thousand, and the gold represents ten thousand.
In the same way, a small dark copper battleship represents the participation and successful capture of a small battleship by the Astartes warrior, the silver one represents a medium-sized battleship, and the gold one represents a large main battleship.
At present, those responsible for maintaining order at the venue basically have at least one shining golden skull and a silver battleship.
In other words, they are all mass murderers whose hands are literally stained with the blood of the enemy.
Just the murderous aura released invisibly will make the surrounding aliens hold their breath involuntarily.
Even representatives of the Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire dare to look down upon these super soldiers who are dubbed the Sword of the People's Alliance.
Because they represent the most cutting-edge combat power currently displayed by the earth and human civilization.
Especially the number of Astartes warriors has been the top secret of the Human League from beginning to end.
In the eyes of many alien civilizations, the ability to create such powerful warriors means that Earth people are at the forefront of most civilizations in the universe in terms of genetic science.
As long as they are willing, they can transform and upgrade hundreds of millions of ordinary people at any time.
As everyone knows, the People's Federation has no genetic technology at all. It relies entirely on transformation surgery by directly sending people to the ninth level of Baator Hell.
Although they themselves also tried to use gene seeds to make some quite bloody and cruel attempts, they all failed in the end without exception.
Because the humans in this world and the humans in the Warhammer universe are not the same thing.
The latter has long been transformed by the crazy guys in the dark technological age, and has completely split from primitive humans into two completely different species.
You must know that the genetic similarity between normal earth people and bananas can reach about 60%, while the genetic similarity between humans in the Warhammer universe may not exceed 40%.
So the Lord of Mankind had no choice but to invent a method of measuring skulls to identify humans and aliens.
What's more, the success rate of transformation of Astartes warriors is not very high even in the original universe.
If those gene seeds brought back by Zuo Si from the Warhammer Universe are transplanted without some special technology and magic processing and forced into the bodies of humans in this world, they will 100% cause serious rejection reactions. die.
Therefore, those attempts by the People's Federation are destined to have no results, and they can only continue to rely on the ninth level of Baator Hell.
However, these alien civilizations obviously do not know this, and they think that the transformation technology of the Astartes warriors has been mastered by the people on earth.
Just when the SHIELD agent was still trying to persuade his young and energetic deputy director, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.
Several dazzling bright lights shone directly from the ceiling overhead, highlighting the rostrum in the center of the front.
Under the spotlight and the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Grant Ward walked onto the podium with confident steps and gave a welcome speech with a smile.
“Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the vast universe who represent civilization.
Welcome to the earth, to our home planet of mankind.
Believe You have all received information from the People's Federation, as well as those photos and videos, and you also know what a huge threat Thanos poses to the entire universe by trying to wipe out half of all life.
He is like a dangerous psychopath trying to impose his twisted thoughts on everyone, not caring whether we are willing to accept it or not.
And the reasons he gave were so ridiculous, and his behavior was so brutal that it would shock and disbelief any sociologist.
Thanos is like a barbarian who broke into the civilized world, only to plunder and destroy unscrupulously.
As a member of the civilized world, I think we should form an alliance to jointly deal with this crisis.
After all, if Thanos' plan really succeeds, no civilization will be spared. ”
As this speech, which seemed to set the tone for this meeting, ended, a noisy buzz immediately erupted from the venue.
Although the language of humans on Earth is definitely a "minor language" in the universe, with the help of various advanced translators, these representatives of alien civilizations can still understand humans. Lenovo wants to express what it means.
It’s just that they don’t quite recognize being led by a civilization that is emerging and full of extermination colonial expansion.
You must know that the reputation of the People's Union in the universe is not very good.
To be precise, he is notorious, maybe even worse than Thanos.
At least Thanos only killed half of the population, while what the Human League did was basically the annihilation of native races and civilizations.
The representative of the Kree stood up and asked directly: "Why do you people on earth think that you have such qualifications? You must know that it has only been a few years since you entered the interstellar age, and your strength and influence The power is far inferior to our Kree Empire."
Grant Ward had obviously anticipated this situation, and immediately pointed to Ultron standing behind him and responded: "Because we have Thanos in our hands. The last two Infinity Stones you desire are
What you see now is the holder of the Mind Stone.
There is also another Time Stone, the Supreme Mage, the guardian of the earth. Hold.
According to the principle that only the Infinity Stones can fight against the Infinity Stones, we hold the ultimate weapon against Thanos and should naturally be the leader.
In addition, behind us are the great demon Lord Soth and our allies from Asgard.
So you still think we don’t have such qualifications? "
"You actually hold two Infinity Stones? ! ”
The Cree representative’s eyes widened instantly and he was stunned.
Not only him, but also many powerful civilizations in the universe showed unacceptable expressions.
Because just like "old money" looks down on "new money".
This group of ancient advanced civilizations that have existed and even dominated the galaxy for tens of thousands of years or more have always regarded the Earth Alliance as an upstart with little background.
Although the latter already possesses quite powerful technology and force, it cannot be regarded as an advanced civilization.
The reason is simple!
Whether in terms of the depth of thought or the construction of society, the people on earth reveal an atmosphere of ignorance, barbarism and primitiveness.
There are many civilizations like this that suddenly emerged due to some unknown reasons in the history of this universe.
But they usually don’t last long before they collapse and disintegrate on their own, eventually disappearing into the long river of history.
So many ancient advanced civilizations are waiting to see the jokes of the people on earth, thinking that their colonial expansion will begin to collapse and disintegrate from within after passing a certain critical point.
But now when we learn that there are actually two Infinity Stones on the earth, and one of them is still held and passed down by the guardians of the past generations, anyone who is not a fool knows what this means.
That means that people on earth can no longer be measured according to ordinary civilization standards.
Because even the power of an Infinity Stone is enough to scare top overlords like the Kree Empire.
After all, the scenes of Thanos using the Power Stone to directly resist the salvoes of the fleet's main guns, and teleporting his fleet away instantly, were vivid to the representatives of the alien civilization present.
If the people on earth can do this, they will have no chance of winning in the fleet battle.
However, these representatives of alien civilizations did not know that when the earth was at its peak, it was actually the same as Odin, who owned all the other five gems except the soul gem.
However, the Power Stone was held by Kara, the Reality Stone was given away after being used by Zuo Si, and the Space Stone was brought back to Asgard by Thor to repair the Rainbow Bridge.
After Ultron showed the Mind Stone on his forehead, the Kree representatives no longer expressed objections. Instead, they sat down again in front of countless pairs of eyes and acquiesced to the Earth Alliance. leadership qualifications.
As for the representatives of the Shi'ar Empire, they were not as aggressive as the Kree. They maintained a polite smile throughout the process, but they were obviously more serious, with fear and vigilance flashing in their eyes from time to time.
You must know that this interstellar empire is a typical huge commercial alliance. It likes to communicate with each other and conduct trade activities under the principle of peace, so it is most disgusting to the Kree Empire and the People's Federation who like to expand and colonize by force. civilization.
What's more, generally speaking, the Crees only enslave indigenous civilizations, but the Human League went even further, directly committing genocide and extermination.
If it weren't for what Thanos was going to do that was so shocking, representatives from the Shi'ar Empire wouldn't have come at all.
Seeing that Ultron had frightened the powerful Kree people, Grant Ward showed a trace of pride on his face, then lightly knocked on the table and continued: "I understand, for everyone here, Representatively speaking, the Earth Human Alliance is just a young new civilization that has just emerged.
But the heritage we have is beyond your imagination.
The Mind Stone and the Time Stone are just one of them. One.
So please do not doubt our strength, sincerity, and confidence in winning this war.
After all, the earth is our sacred mother planet and the cradle of the entire race and civilization.
We will defend it to the death at all costs!
Now if anyone is willing to stand with us to fight against Thanos, please express your stance.
But please remember, anyone who is unwilling to stand with us will be regarded as a despicable person who is unwilling to bear the responsibility and obligations of insurance.
If we win, these civilizations will surely be spurned by the entire universe. ”
As these words that were half moral kidnapping and half naked threats came out of their mouths, the faces of those representatives who were still wavering became extremely ugly on the spot.
Because Grant Ward means two things.
First, moral kidnapping can regard all civilizations that do not participate in this alliance as irresponsible cowards and cowards who evade their obligations, and will inevitably be hostile to those civilizations that send fleets.
Second, guess what if Thanos is defeated, what will this terrifying combined fleet, unprecedented in scale in the universe, do to those civilizations who are hiding behind to watch the show and are unwilling to send people to join the war?
It must be said that this speech is quite in the style of Hydra's unscrupulous means to achieve its goals.
“I join on behalf of the Kree Empire!”
“I join on behalf of the Shi’ar Empire!”
“I join on behalf of the Nova Corps!”
……
< br>As one civilization after another began to express its stance, the entire venue quickly became excited.
Because no representative dared to refuse during this process.
After all, even behemoths like the Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire have chosen to join. It would be disrespectful if I didn't join.
They are really capable of easily erasing a civilization from the scale of the universe.
Especially the aggressive Kree Empire, they will make up one at random if they don’t have an excuse for war, let alone such a legitimate reason.
In this way, Grant Ward perfectly realized the insidious plan of the top leaders of the People's Federation, which was to drag all the powerful civilizations in the entire universe into confrontation with Thanos Hard Steel.
Anyway, no matter whether they win or lose in the end, these civilizations will suffer heavy losses as a result, which will lay a good foundation for the next round of expansion of the people on earth.
It would be best to let the Shi'ar Empire and the Kree Empire fight, or to disintegrate and start a civil war.
In this way, even if the People's League suffers heavy losses in this war, it can still make a profit without losing money.
The aliens who came to participate in this meeting would never have dreamed that this alliance proposed and led by earthlings actually hid a terrible trap.
They did not build this alliance to win from the beginning.
Instead, I made this plan based on the dirty idea that after I lose, everyone will have to lose with me.
With the establishment of the alliance, countless fleets of all kinds began to gather in the solar system.
This small, remote star system in the Milky Way became extremely lively for the first time.
A 360-degree spherical defense zone with no blind spots has even been formed around the earth.
The dense and terrifying firepower coverage is enough to blast all satellites, planets, and even stars in the entire galaxy into atoms in an instant.
Some even started calling it the "Battle Fortress That Never Fell."
It’s just that these aliens don’t know that anything on Earth that is labeled with words like “never sink” or “unsinkable” usually does not turn out well.
The Maginot Line, which never fell, was completely reduced to a display in the face of the German blitzkrieg, and it never played even the slightest role from beginning to end.
The unsinkable Titanic hit an iceberg and sank directly to the bottom of the sea after its first voyage.
While Hydra, headed by Grant Ward, was actively contacting its allies to set up a defense line, Doctor Strange, who defeated Mordo and became the Sorcerer Supreme, far above the ground at Igvilvo's home—— Stephen Strange is carefully reading a book in his hand that exudes the aura of evil, chaos, and blood.
The Witch Queen herself was sitting on the balcony about seven or eight meters away from him, drinking afternoon tea leisurely while waving to the paparazzi and enthusiastic fans outside the mansion.
It is easy to see from the smile on her face that she is enjoying her current life very much.
Because those idiots who became stupid, blind, and even willing to sacrifice everything in the process of chasing stars provided her with precious faith, allowing her to finally complete her transformation from a secondary abyss lord to a true Divine-like power.
Those who have completely lost their minds are even like fanatical believers under the command of gods, willing to do anything for the gods they believe in.
Igvirvo once conducted a test, asking an obsessed fan to kill his father and mother who loved him most.
As a result, the filial son killed his parents on the same day when he returned home without saying a word, and also posted the entire process of the brutal killing on social media to prove to everyone his absolute obedience to the goddess.
But all he got was clarification and clarification from Igwiwo’s spokesperson, saying that all this is a personal behavior of fans and should not be elevated to the level of an idol.
Then the poor man chose to end his life in prison in pain and despair.
From this incident, Igvirvo deeply understood that the so-called "star chasing" in modern society is actually the inevitable result of extreme emptiness in the inner and spiritual world.
And the more confused young people are, the easier it is for them to get stuck under the influence and coercion of their peers around them and be unable to extricate themselves.
To a large extent, their feelings for celebrities and idols are no different from those of mortals worshiping gods. In essence, they place certain unattainable things on each other, and gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction through this pursuit and proximity. .
It’s just that most stars and idols and the capital behind them only focus on the money in the pockets of these young people.
But Iggwiver is different.
She targeted her faith from the beginning, so she never had any scandals in her entire acting career.
Don’t underestimate this!
You must know that the entertainment industry, no matter which country it is in, can be directly equated with dirty, ugly, promiscuous, alcoholic, and drug-taking.
So a high-quality celebrity idol like her who has not fallen into trouble for a long time and has no scandals is like a white lotus in this circle, and she will naturally be even more fanatical.
After all, the more unobtainable something is, the more people will have a strong desire to conquer and possessiveness.
Even some newly promoted wealthy people who did not know Igwielvo's true identity began to pursue her constantly, eager to marry her.
But the Witch Queen was unmoved by this and continued to play the perfect goddess image in the minds of the audience and fans.
It is foreseeable that as time goes by and young fans grow older, this kind of worship will slowly accumulate and transform into a truly tested belief, and eventually they will be completely converted into believers.
