Chapter 4671: Chapter 3748 Doomsday (4)

Thor hadn’t felt this kind of dizzy sensation, like being punched in the head, for many years. The last time he felt like this was when he was hit by the main cannon of a Kree Empire battleship, then captured by Zhongzixing’s gravity, and finally thrown into a Black Hole.

So when he saw a few small black shadows flying over from a distance, he instinctively struck a combat posture. When he realized what he was doing, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. But unexpectedly, the reaction of the generals and ministers around him was even greater; one by one, they had already started using their Divine Power for protection.

Damn, there’s a madman here!!!

Which civilized nation would fly their home planet around recklessly?! Odin was already the most radical of the radicals in the cosmos, but even he only led fleets into combat, at most using the Rainbow Bridge to make surprise attacks. He never threw the Fairy Palace in someone else’s face!

Why is this terrifying? Because everyone knows, for a civilization, the home planet is the most important, carrying far more significance in terms of spiritual symbolism than stellar value.

It’s like this: when countries go to war, if they only fight at the border, then no matter how you put it, it’s just regional conflict; but if they bomb the capital, then it’s a fight to the death.

The fall of a capital means the fall of a nation. At that time, regardless of age or gender, everyone has to fight desperately. If they win, they can catch a breath, but if they lose, it’s regime change. The same goes for interstellar civilizations; once the war reaches the home planet, there’s absolutely no chance of stopping it. The Kree Empire and Skrull Empire have been entangled in combat for over a thousand years but are still far from each other’s home bases.

Earth’s operation is akin to what? "I want to go to war with you, but instead of probing at the border, engaging in sieges on the way, you taking one city and I taking another in a tug-of-war, I’ll throw my capital directly in your face, initiating the capital defense and offense war right at the start."

Just ask, will you attack my capital or not? If you don’t, I’ll dance around your head; if you dare to attack, you’re already at my capital, entering doomsday mode, so won’t I fight desperately?

Though it sounds a bit absurd, this tactic might actually be very effective. Because although most ordinary people are weak, you can’t account for those who are particularly strong!

When Earth has nothing going on, people are constantly studying national conflicts, ethnic conflicts, racial conflicts. Those powerful superpower users, each with their own stances, almost exhaust their energy through internal friction.

But now Earth is being attacked by others. Unless you’re a complete anti-human traitor, you have to put in some effort. Once these people unite and exert their strength, some will be in for a tough time.

Currently, in the cosmos, many civilizations can utterly destroy Earth, but none can do so without being destroyed by the vengeful Earthlings. Even the Three Great Empires can’t manage it: the Shi’ar Empire delivers a slap, the Skrull Empire delivers two, and the Kree Empire delivers the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Essentially, there’s nothing wrong with the name "Avenger."

Under these circumstances, few dare to act forcefully against Earth. But since the Milky Way is in a very remote place, they don’t take the initiative, and the likelihood of accidental involvement is very low. They can’t provoke, but they can hide.

But now there’s nowhere to hide.

Who would’ve thought Earth could grow legs and run? And it’s not using low-level chemical fuel propulsion, but performing planetary teleportation, akin to Rainbow Bridge-like surprise tactics, fast, convenient, and pollution-free.

This is no longer a matter of you rushing over to beat up a broken house, but rather you walking nicely on the roadside, a broken house suddenly teleports in front of you, and you accidentally bump into it, then a group of strong men rush out from the house and beat you up.

Damn, there’s someone faking an accident!!!

The current feeling of the Asgardians is like this. From Thor to Loki, from military officers to civil servants, their faces full of horror say "Don’t come any closer!!!"

Back in the day when they followed Odin to wage wars in the cosmos, no matter how tough the challenge, these tough guys never showed a look of fear. This is truly unprecedented.

The people flying over were Strange, Captain America, and Charles. Thor and Loki, for the first time, were a bit reluctant to face these old friends, but they had already set up to receive them, and whether they wanted to or not, they had to brace themselves and face it. You see, the door to your house is already open, and the person coming in just fell into a manure pit, but you still have to let him in to eat before he leaves.

Loki first let out a long sigh, then took a deep breath, worked hard to show a smile, walked forward, and shook hands with Strange—he didn’t even know he had such a strong grip—and smiled at him, "Welcome. Long time no see, Supreme Magician. May I have the audacity to ask if the model of the spacecraft you’re riding today is somewhat... too unique?"

Thor and a group of Asgardian generals were having a hard time holding it in, Sif’s facial muscles were twitching, and Heimdall had already started covering his face.

"Here’s the thing," Strange said, "After internal discussions on Earth, we reached a consensus. As a member of the Nine Major Kingdoms, Midgard naturally must contribute to the safety of the Nine Kingdoms. To avoid wasting Asgard’s military resources, we believe that a more centralized defense posture should be adopted, with the main forces focused around Asgard, to better prevent external enemies. What do you think?"

"That being said, it’s not entirely unreasonable," Loki said reluctantly, "but... isn’t it a bit too concentrated?"

"You can rest assured," Strange continued, "in the coming period, Earth will orbit Asgard as a satellite using the Earth-Moon system as a template. We will maintain a safe distance, ensuring no interference with the safety of either world."

"But..." Loki began to brainstorm, "what about the Solar System? If Earth is gone, what about the Solar System’s gravity?"

"According to accurate analysis and calculations by scientists, Earth’s gravity has minimal impact on other celestial bodies. Our professionals have conducted a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the gravity and electromagnetic waves within the Solar System, making adjustments before Earth’s departure."

"And, what about you on Earth? Your planet’s oceans rely on the Moon’s gravity for tidal movements, right?"

"That’s why we brought the Moon along," Strange said, pointing. Following his direction, Thor and Loki saw a mage opening a teleportation portal directly above Earth, Magneto pulling the Moon along, with a group of Chinese mutants waving flags and adjusting its orbit like directing a reversing vehicle.

Loki couldn’t help but hold his forehead—how could he forget? Long ago, the mages’ teleportation portals were expanded to accommodate something as large as the Moon. The Moon didn’t need to travel with Earth; they could just open a portal and transport it over once Earth was in place.

"What about the Sun?" Thor couldn’t help asking, "Asgard doesn’t have a Sun, but Earth’s ecosystem needs it. Surely you didn’t bring the Sun too?!"

"We didn’t bring the natural Sun since we still need it to supply energy to the Mercury Base. But we brought a portable artificial sun, which, like the natural Sun, generates radiation through thermonuclear fusion, naturally providing Earth with sufficient ultraviolet light."

As soon as he said this, Thor and Loki saw a light sphere rising slowly from the Asian continent on Earth.

This light sphere wasn’t very big, certainly no match for the star Sun, but it was close! The day-night cycle generated by Earth’s orbit around the Sun could also be replicated by a mini-sun orbiting Earth.

"But what about the temperature? Such a Sun shouldn’t be enough to provide heat across Earth, right?"

"That’s why we brought more than one."

As he finished speaking, the place where the first sun was launched began "bang bang bang bang bang" like fireworks, launching over twenty large light spheres. These spheres started moving along the surface of the Magical Defense Network, gradually stopping at designated locations: some areas were denser, others sparser. Then they began establishing energy pathways, forming a large web, which started to rotate slowly. The areas with denser artificial suns resembled places that would have received more sunlight, like the equator, while sparser areas naturally resembled places with insufficient heat, like the poles.

Clearly, this was well-prepared. Loki was practically grinding his teeth: "You thick-browed, big-eyed humans, with such technology at your disposal, kept it under wraps just waiting to scare us one day, huh?"

"That’s really not the case." Strange, seeing Loki’s expression, knew what he was thinking. "Humans have always been researching artificial suns, with China and America leading the way. China is inclined towards large-scale systems, while America leans towards miniaturization and weaponization. You should know Doctor Otto, right? He’s a recognized authority in this field. His production of small-scale nuclear fusion thermal ray guns has already reached large-scale deployment."

"This I know." Loki sighed, "I mostly go to America and rarely interact with Asia. So this is their doing?"

"Exactly, and they’ve likely started earlier than you think. Remember the first appearance of the Iron Demon God?"

Loki nodded without needing to recall much—as an Immortal Species, it felt like it was just yesterday.

"When the Iron Demon God appeared, China also noticed it, and they believed it was an American technological product. To avoid falling behind, they’ve poured a lot of resources into scientific research over the years, focusing everything on elevating their technological levels. Though the thermonuclear fusion technology we see now isn’t perfect, I’m convinced they have much more."

"But actually, it was just Iron Man alone," Thor couldn’t help but point out, "didn’t they investigate? The Iron Demon God wasn’t purely a technological product; he was a Demon God."

"What difference does it make?" Charles said, "Since the establishment of New Xanadu Country, I’ve interacted with them often, gaining some understanding. Let’s put it this way: on the surface, they do everything to be one country contending against all other countries; once in space, they do everything to be one country contending against all civilizations, all Demon Gods, all cosmic entities."

"That’s wildly ambitious," Loki exclaimed, "you often describe them as conservative, unwilling to excessively explore the cosmos, operating with generational or even decades-long plans."

"That doesn’t conflict," Steve said, "they indeed haven’t excessively explored the cosmos, not even leaving the Solar System, and within the Solar System, they’ve mostly participated in two major projects: building a star ship and mining Jupiter. They have indeed focused most of their efforts on the surface. These artificial suns you’re seeing were developed on the surface."
