Chapter 4688: Chapter 3764: Doomsday (20)

The discussions in the command center became more intense. Most people’s thoughts shifted quickly, and they immediately chimed in: "Exactly! Getting hit costs energy anyway, so why not allocate that energy to the engines and ram them directly?!"

"That’s exactly how it should be done!" another young General slapped the table vigorously, saying, "Let’s smash these bastards!"

"I also agree with ramming," Strange said, "Actually, the energy needed to ignite the engines and protect Earth during the collision is less than enduring those 24 hits. Ramming could save us some energy."

"But I must remind you," Valkyrie said, "The main cannons on the main ships of the Three Great Empires have autonomous enemy targeting capabilities, and it’s not just one shot and done; rather, they output continuously like lasers. Even if you ram one or two, you might still be hit by others."

The atmosphere in the command center came to a halt. Then, another well-dressed politician stood up and said, "I don’t think we need to ram those ships that are attacking us; we can ram others instead."

"Explain more." Everyone else said in unison.

"If we charge at the ships attacking us, we’re bound to take a few hits. But if we aim for the other battleships around them, then will these attacking ships fire or not? If they don’t fire, we can save energy; if they do, they might accidentally hit their allies. I don’t think the relationship between those three is all that good..."

A burst of discussion erupted amongst the politicians, and someone quickly followed up: "I think we shouldn’t run anywhere else, let’s run behind Ferocious Feather Star! I can’t believe they would dare fire at their own home!"

"Exactly! Let’s run behind Ferocious Feather Star; they wouldn’t fire at themselves, right?"

"You’re right, I heard that the Queen is at their home right now. If their fleet fires at their capital, wouldn’t that be considered rebellion?"

"Definitely! Then if they start fighting internally, we can sit back and watch the show; it’d be so entertaining."

Valkyrie looked beside her, speechless: "These humans are really full of deceit!" But soon she realized she had underestimated the level of human cunning and shamelessness.

"Ahem, let me say a few words." A figure stood up from the United Nations seat. It was the current Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. Everyone else turned to look at him.

"Just hiding behind Ferocious Feather Star isn’t quite safe; I think we can..."

Others in the command center quietly listened to Nick’s plan, and then everyone silently gave him a thumbs up.

"What? Are you saying... won’t this be a bit too wicked?" Wanda asked with a conflicted look, "We can go, but... okay, I understand. It’s all for Earth."

After hanging up the phone, Wanda sighed to Jarvis, saying, "I really don’t know who came up with this wicked idea, but I still need to go to the mutants. I need to find two helpers."

Jarvis nodded to her, saying, "Currently it’s Rakshasa Woman guarding there, and I’ve already informed her. You can go directly."

The mutants are now stationed in New Xanadu Country, and the Inhumans on the Moon have withdrawn. Currently, Professor X accompanies them, touring the capital X City of New Xanadu Country.

Black Bolt is actually quite reluctant because he knows once he leaves this time, it might be hard to return. On one hand, China has been eyeing the area on the Moon’s far side for a long time; although they haven’t directly taken it, the intention is clear—if he doesn’t leave, he’d be built over without being grounded; on the other hand, since Earth got engines, these humans have gone mad, daring to even hurl the Moon at people. How many days of peace can he have staying on the Moon with his race?

Therefore, even if they are unwilling, they can only seek refuge with Earth’s relatives. No matter whether Inhumans and mutants count as relatives, at least they’re not normal humans, so they gather warmth together.

Initially, Black Bolt thought so, but now it seems that isn’t the case. Mutants aren’t Earth’s poor relatives; not only do they have their own country now, but the capital is built quite well. Whether they are willing to accept them is still a question. Don’t be fooled by Professor X’s smiling demeanor; Black Bolt knows very well this guy is full of cunning, and if he doesn’t bleed a bit, he probably won’t accomplish anything.

As the two negotiated, Wanda had already arrived on the rooftop of the municipal building. Rakshasa Woman and Shadow Cat greeted her. She didn’t even go inside, directly saying, "I’ve been assigned a task from above, and I need two helpers. The only requirement is speed, courage, and agility. We need to go pick up something."

"I’m in!" Shadow Cat said, "Blink can come with us too; we’re both quick at work!"

Wanda thought for a moment, then nodded, saying, "I originally wanted Pietro to come, but he’s clumsy, I think that’s unlikely. You and Blink come with me."

Wanda quickly set off with Shadow Cat and Blink. Initially, Shadow Cat and Blink didn’t know what they were going to do, but after hearing Wanda’s entire plan during the journey, they couldn’t help but exclaim, "Who thought of this plan? It’s so wicked! But I like it."

They sneakily went to Kamar-Taj, obtained the clearance to leave the Magical Defense Network, and with the assistance of the power of Scarlet, they flew out invisibly and silently made their way to the accident site of the ships dragging Ferocious Feather Star.

At this time, 24 main battleships had entered firing range, but to allow the main cannons to exert maximum power, they still needed to charge up.

The Shi’ar Empire’s generals aren’t foolish; they know Earth will try to flee, so these 24 ships almost completely blocked all escape routes for Earth, and their positions and angles are different, meaning Earth would have to endure several hits regardless of where they ran.

Sure enough, just as the main cannon was about to finish charging, Earth’s engine ignited. All the captains tensed up — although they knew Earth was going to run, none of them wanted it to run towards them, as a collision could be deadly.

"Don’t engage them head-on!" the General immediately ordered, "If it wants to run, let it go. We are faster, so just chase and attack!"

The battleship in the direction Earth aimed quickly vacated its position. Even if they could revive, no one wanted to die, and losing a main battleship under their command would lead to a military court, something every captain wanted to avoid.

Sure enough, Steve, who was observing the situation from the command center, had a gleam in his eye: "That earlier collision did have the intended effect; they don’t dare to clash with us head-on."

Everyone knew how hard Earth was, and that colliding with Earth had no other outcome than loss and disgrace. Earth hadn’t even started running yet, and the runway was already cleared.

Engine ignition, power buildup, acceleration. The moment Earth shot out, 24 main battleships’ cannons finished charging, their brilliant light radiating almost half the star system. More than half of the main battleships’ cannons hit Earth.

The command room of the main battleships was about to burst into cheers when they noticed something was off — Earth was barreling straight towards the nearest gas giant planet.

The power of the main battleships’ cannons was indeed significant. Besides consuming energy from the magical defense network, the impact was also substantial. Since they didn’t stop Earth and instead a barrage of ships aimed at its rear, the immense impact instead propelled Earth forward, skipping the acceleration process entirely, and hurtling towards the gas giant at a very high speed.

The Fierce Feather Star System is different from the Solar System; it’s the home of the Shi’ar Empire, one of the Three Great Empires, and has long been developed. This gas giant serves as the capital’s resource supply station, and it has shields, making it hard to break apart.

More crucially, this giant planet is even larger than Jupiter, with a diameter over 20 times that of Earth, so it clearly can’t be moved by collision. So what’s Earth doing?

Before anyone could react, Earth crashed into the giant planet, triggering the gravity slingshot effect, which instantly quadrupled Earth’s speed. Using this maneuver, Earth also turned, heading towards the Ferocious Feather Star at near light-speed.

"Damn! It’s going to hit the Ferocious Feather Star again! Quick, quick, quick!! Stop it!!!" generals of the Shi’ar Empire were yelling in the communication channels.

The Queen and nobles of the Ferocious Feather Star were also in shock. Seriously? A double take? Again?!

They were simply panic-stricken because Earth’s speed was even faster than last time. If it were to hit them... wait, aren’t there gravitational traps all around the Ferocious Feather Star System now?!

"Quick! Planet Escort Ship, gravity traction! Pull it quickly!!!" The Queen was practically screaming.

The traction system of the Planet Escort Ship was always connected, so no preparation was needed, but alas, the escort ship also needed time to speed up. Earth, with its near light-speed speed, would arrive in an instant.

Bang!

Another collision, soundless yet deafening, and the Ferocious Feather Star was sent flying again.

However, this time, Earth did not stop but followed the Ferocious Feather Star as it flew out of collision.

Despite the initial speed being reduced from the collision, Earth had propulsion and could roughly maintain a fast speed; whereas the struck Ferocious Feather Star did not. While it was briefly fast from the hit, it slowed down quickly after. The two planets were thus growing closer and closer.

"Now’s the time!" Magneto heard the calm voice of JARVIS through his earpiece.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, lunging onto the planetary shield of the nearby Ferocious Feather Star, throwing several devices onto its surface, and then returning inside the magical defense network.

Stark was in the lab staring intently at the screen. Seeing the red dots light up one by one on the screen, he yelled backwards, "Activate the gravity traction device!"

Buzz — Buzz —

A humming sound resonated, several beams lit up between Earth and the Ferocious Feather Star, and then the superlight engine accelerated in another direction, yanking the still-flying Ferocious Feather Star back — heading in a different direction.

This series of events stunned everyone in the star system. Already familiar with the human race’s level of insanity, the Supreme Wisdom immediately ordered, "Do not approach Earth, quickly get away from them!"

The Kree Empire’s battleships flew in different directions, but the Skrull Empire and Shi’ar Empire couldn’t react as fast. The Skrull Empire’s main battleships were concentrated in one spot and hadn’t had time to disperse. The Emperor of the Skrull Empire was on one of these Magellan-class main battleships, watching helplessly as Earth dragged the Ferocious Feather Star towards him.

Near this battleship, Earth abruptly braked, spinning 720 degrees on the spot, swinging the Ferocious Feather Star and hurling it towards the battleship.

Bang!!!!!!!
