Chapter 4683: Chapter 759: Doomsday (15)
Obviously, the answer is no. The Three Great Empires are basically the cosmos police. Usually, they’re the ones "breaking up fights" in various star systems. Now it’s their turn, who can intervene? Who dares to intervene?
Originally, maybe the other two empires could have managed, but now all three are at war, and they haven’t even stopped fighting, so how can they intervene?
The Shi’ar Empire certainly tried to make an effort. They first brought in their own battleships, preparing for a round of saturation strikes. As expected—no breakthrough. The Cosmic Sorcerer couldn’t even break through the Magical Defense Network, so all those Hell Dimension Lords and Deep Red Dimension Lords had to obediently wait outside. The Shi’ar Empire’s weapons were ineffective too.
Then they thought: If I can’t beat you, can I at least ask you to leave?
Turns out, they really couldn’t. Just as Supreme Wisdom predicted, Magneto was as rooted as a nail in orbit. The gravity around Earth was completely locked, and almost any flying object entering would immediately become disabled.
What was more infuriating was that Magneto was standing inside the Magical Defense Network. If you wanted to attack him directly, you’d have to break the Magical Defense Network first; but while you’re attacking the network, he’s attacking you; and then you can’t even beat him. Isn’t that a three-dimensional defense?
The most infuriating thing is that the Shi’ar Empire doesn’t dare to use strategic-level weapons because this is their home. Who uses galaxy-destroying weapons to blow up their own home star system? What about their capital after the blast?
Thus, a very bizarre scene appeared in the Fierce Feather Star System: a blue planet flickered in the center of the star system, not far from it, a golden planet and a bunch of ships crowded the star system’s edge orbit, while other planets were pushed onto a single orbit, looking just like wronged kids.
It’s not that they were cautious, but Magneto was indeed unreasonable. His gravity braking range covered more than half the star system, and anyone who passed by would be his billiard ball. Not just ships, even planets had to keep their distance; otherwise, if he pockets them into a star, what then?
At this moment, The Avengers, perfectly landed on the rooftop platform of the space station above the Pacific Ocean, were watching the heap of ships and planets above Earth. Steve stroked his chin, sighed, and said, "I admit this move is effective, but don’t you think it’s a bit... underhanded?"
"Don’t worry about whether it’s underhanded or not, just tell me if it’s effective," Shiller said. "What do you think they can do now? Probably just grab a megaphone and curse us."
"We haven’t even made a move yet," Stark said somewhat disgruntledly. "I was gearing up for a tough battle, but these guys can’t even break the Magical Defense Network. I prepped for half a day, what a waste of expression!"
The whole plan was indeed easier than anyone could have imagined. They used the simplest and most direct method to smack the Shi’ar Empire in front of all interstellar civilizations, and the Shi’ar Empire couldn’t hit back. Now, let’s see how the other two empires respond.
The essence of this tactic is truly "annoy without biting." Did the Shi’ar Empire suffer any loss? Not really. Earth’s engines are relatively backward, and its speed isn’t high, so the impact wasn’t heavy.
They had long learned from Mystique that the Planet’s Shield of the Ferocious Feather Star would automatically deploy. The moment Earth approached, their Planet’s Shield deployed, and after a collision, was shot quite far but actually, the shield wasn’t shattered, and there were no casualties.
Magneto wasn’t harsh either; he threw all incoming flying objects out. The Shi’ar Empire is still a top civilization; those ships aren’t as fragile as paper and wouldn’t suffer major damage from a single toss.
Which means, aside from the ten or so fatalities earlier, despite all the chaos, there were no actual injuries. Physically, there was no harm, but what about mentally?
Not only did I kill your people, but I also kicked in your door and shat on your bed. Any emotional sentient being would find such provocation intolerable.
But because there were no fatal losses, and they know that the human race’s strong figures haven’t acted, they inevitably consider: is it worth going all out against humanity?
Earth is the cradle of the human race, but the Ferocious Feather Star is the capital of the Shi’ar Empire. Now it’s like a king against a king; if you want to annihilate each other, your own capital won’t fare well either.
And if they could actually destroy it, that would be fine, but if not, and Earth escapes, it’d truly be like having someone shit on your neck.
Moreover, they’re not in the Solar System; they’re in the Fierce Feather Star System where the Ferocious Feather Star is located. Anything damaged here is on the Shi’ar Empire’s tab. Given the destructive power of that group of maniacs from the human race, the actual losses in the end won’t be light.
The Shi’ar Empire was perplexed: who came up with such a despicably sneaky idea? You better hope I don’t catch you, or you’ll regret it!
The one who first suggested this idea, Shiller, quietly left after enjoying the spectacle.
Don’t misunderstand, he didn’t go home for a vacation; he went home to propose the next suggestion.
"What did you say?!" Nick was surprised on the other end of the line. He said, "Are you sure? Isn’t this a bit too..."
"Alright, I’ll try to persuade him. But do you think he can be convinced otherwise? Still, whether he agrees or not, this thing has to be done. After all, it’s for Earth."
After speaking, Nick put down the phone and picked up another secure line, saying, "Get me Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans."
"This is simply bullying us too much!"
On the Nomadic Star, in the conference room of the Galaxy Committee Headquarters, Queen Lilandra of the Shi’ar Empire, played by Mystique, slammed the table in rage and said, "How dare they provoke the Shi’ar Empire like this! The Twin Gods will not let them off lightly!"
"Alright, Lilandra, calm down. We need to think of a solution now," Supreme Wisdom said. "Right now, I need to confirm one thing: without using strategic-level weapons, are you already out of options against them?"
Lilandra showed a shameful and annoyed expression, but she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly said, "It’s not that I can’t do anything about them, it’s those dragging noble families! They actually, they actually fled the battlefield..."
"Alright, I’m not interested in your internal affairs," The Supremacy said in a calm tone, "You just need to tell us if you need our help."
"You absolutely must help us! Do you think that group of Earthlings will let you off after humiliating us? Don’t forget, neither of you have ever stopped causing trouble on Earth, they must have evidence in their hands. Do you think they will take this opportunity to settle scores?"
"But we’re not as disgraceful as you," the Emperor of the Skrull Empire didn’t come, only a virtual image appeared, he said, "The great Skrull Empire will not stand helpless while its homeland is taken over."
"It’s easy for you to say that standing there," Lilandra heightened her tone and said, "Would you use strategic-level weapons on your own Capital Star’s Star System?"
"Is a strategic-level weapon the only solution you have? That’s really quite useless."
"I..."
"Alright, enough arguing!" The Supremacy interrupted both of them, then said, "Her Majesty’s words are not without reason, we definitely can’t let Earth be this arrogant. Don’t you think this is a good opportunity?"
The other two looked at him. The Supremacy, manipulating ordinary Kree soldiers, said: "Earth is isolated and taking risks, almost all the dangerous superheroes have come, isn’t this the perfect time to catch them all in one go?"
"Are you crazy?" Lilandra couldn’t help but say, "You just said, all the dangerous superheroes are there, and you still dare to provoke them? It’s not like your home will get hit, right?"
"No, if we act against them, the survivors won’t spare us either. But if we want rewards, we must take risks. Don’t you want to have a permanent solution to deal with these maniacs?"
The other two fell silent. Didn’t they want to? They were almost driven crazy just thinking about it!
Although Asgardians are all brutes, their actions still have some semblance of logic. These Earthlings are purely crazy. What good do they think comes from doing this?
Previously, they hit the Ferocious Feather Star and then refused to leave, which was akin to slapping the Shi’ar Empire in the face, but after slapping, shouldn’t they leave quickly? No. They just linger there, as if waiting for the Shi’ar Empire to fetch reinforcements, utterly arrogant to the extreme.
"At worst, we will change homes!" Lilandra clenched her teeth and said again, "They come to the Fierce Feather Star System, and we go to the Solar System!"
"And how will you go?"
This question from The Supremacy rendered both of them silent again.
Indeed, how could they go? At most, they could reach the edges of the Nine Major Kingdoms. If the ruler of Asgard does not agree, no one can enter the range of the World Tree. To go to the Solar System, they would have to fight Asgard.
But if they can’t deal with Earth, can they deal with Asgard?
If the Shi’ar Empire concentrates all its military might on Asgard, those crazy Earthlings might not bring their mother planet to sweep the Shi’ar Empire’s rear?
The current dilemma is: Earth refuses to leave, but changing homes is not feasible. A top civilization like one of the Three Great Empires could hardly swallow this shame, forming any kind of Binary Star System with Earth is unlikely. It might not even be possible to outlast Earth, so what does one do?
Lilandra sighed and said, "So what do you plan to do? Don’t blame me for not warning you, your mainframe servers are also on the planet. Do you think setting up a few Gravity Traps will stop them from ramming through?"
"The current issue we need to address is yours," The Supremacy said, "To make Earth leave, there is only one way, and that is to make them feel threatened, so they have no choice but to retreat. If your Shi’ar Empire cannot offer enough of a threat, then we must help."
"What do you mean? You’re not suggesting sending troops to our Capital Star System, are you?"
"If you hadn’t foreseen this outcome, why would you have come?"
Lilandra was briefly silenced. The Emperor of the Skrull Empire also caught on and told her, "You can’t handle Earth, those nobles will just laugh at you. But if our two nations press their armies against them, even if they don’t listen to you, they will have to."
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to," Lilandra said resentfully, "You’ll have an easy time coming over, but once it’s over, it won’t be so easy to make you leave."
"You’re mistaken, Your Majesty. If we truly intended to threaten the Shi’ar Empire, we would surround the Great Teleportation Gate. That’s where the real value lies. As long as the Great Teleportation Gate remains in your hands, and we need it for trade and commerce, you don’t have to worry about your capital falling. This is the best solution."
"Hopefully so. I still feel that things won’t be this simple."
As soon as she finished speaking, a notification sound suddenly rang out. The communicator’s voice came through: "Latest frontline report, Your Majesty. Shall we connect?"
"What’s this all about now?!" Lilandra hurriedly said, "Quick, connect it!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This is bad!" A voice quite familiar to Lilandra said, "That group of Earthlings, that group of Earthlings... are hitting us with their satellites!!!"
"What?!!!"
