Chapter 1316: Interstellar Grand Stage (40)
The scene froze on Stark's slightly conflicted expression, and the frame slowly closed. In the dream base of the Brilliance Alliance, Loki hugged his arms and looked at Shiler, who had a face full of gloating, shook his head and said: "The degree to which you hold a grudge still broke the upper limit of my imagination."
Shiler hugged a bucket of popcorn, leaned sideways on the armrest and said: "Anyway, there must be a Stark who is having bad luck. It counts that Tony ran fast, but the other Stark is not so lucky."
Loki shook his head again and sighed. Just at this time, the door of the dream base lobby flashed with light, and Strange, holding a magic wand, also walked in, saying loudly: "How was my performance just now? Shiler, you really have it. Sure enough, these few short sentences made Stark furious, hahahahahaha."
"Only knowing how to borrow other people's academic achievements is nothing to be proud of." Loki also supported his cheeks with two fingers, and then said: "You only know how to recite lines."
Strange rolled his eyes, walked to the opposite side of Shiler and sat down, then looked around and said: "Where is Nick? Why didn't he come? Isn't the Brilliance Alliance meeting today?"
"Of course not, we are just gathering privately." Shiler walked to the side of the wine cabinet, opened the cabinet door while saying: "Private time, how about a glass of port wine?"
"Thanks." Strange said.
"No, I'm sherry." Loki said.
Shiler walked back to his seat and poured wine while saying: "If Professor X or the Captain were here, they wouldn't let us do this."
"I say so too, Shiler." Strange frowned slightly, looked at Shiler and said: "You don't have to hold such a grudge, right? The treatment plan Stark proposed at the beginning might have been a bit rough, but it was very effective. He was also for your own good, wasn't he?"
Shiler rolled his eyes and said: "If it weren't for this, would I just take this otherworldly counterpart to vent my anger?"
"Besides, I'm not entirely for playing with this Tony." Shiler leaned back with a wine glass, rested one arm on the back of the sofa, turned his head and took a sip of wine and said: "Other goals have also been achieved, haven't they?"
"That group of young heroes was indeed taught very well by Ma Te, kind, full of courage, and more importantly, knowing how to restrain. But the only problem is that they are a bit too young. Fishing law enforcement is sometimes very necessary. The opposite side doesn't know the rules, so why should we self-restrict?"
"You have some truth in what you say." Strange was stung by the spicy wine and bared his teeth, then said: "The group of children under Ma Te, and the recently popular New Warriors team, don't lack force and wisdom, but they are all too righteous and too rule-abiding."
"Sometimes, the righteous and evil sides complement each other. In a team, you need both righteous, kind, and positive leaders, and people who plan conspiracies and do dirty work. Just like Asgard, Thor has felt deeply about this point recently."
As soon as Loki finished speaking, Shiler looked at him curiously and said: "How are the invitations for the wedding and the expo sent out? Have those interstellar civilizations replied?"
"I was just about to say this..." Loki nodded and said.
Then, Loki told Shiler and Strange about what happened in Asgard some time ago.
The royal family of Asgard proposed that they wanted to hold an interstellar expo under the name of the God King's wedding. This proposal caused quite a bit of controversy within Asgard.
On one hand, Asgard didn't have such a tradition. Their God King and God Queen's wedding didn't invite outsiders to participate.
Because Asgard had a small population, most people knew each other, and the local sentiment was relatively strong. Therefore, when holding such a celebration, they valued more whether relatives and friends could come. As for the pomp, it wasn't important.
So the previous coronation ceremonies and weddings of Asgard God Kings were all held within Asgard. Even when Odin and Frigga got married, they only entertained some relatives, friends, and generals within the Xiangong, and then gave the whole of Asgard a few days off.
For a monarch of a country, such pomp could be called shabby, but the people of Asgard didn't care much about this, so when they heard that Thor wanted to hold such a grand ceremony, it was inevitable that they would be a bit worried.
In the process of Earth's rapid development, Asgard hadn't been idle either. Everywhere was breaking ground, and the Nine Realms were all in a lively scene of reform.
Since Thor succeeded to the throne, everyone in Asgard could see that this new king was ambitious and had great goals, and decrees were introduced one after another.
First was the military reform, the Xiangong internal affairs department also had to be reorganized, a civil servant group was established, the territory of Asgard was expanded, childbirth was encouraged, free death was advocated, the battle line was contracted externally, and defense was reinforced, looking like it was going to walk a brand new path.
In fact, the people of Asgard were confused about the future. They knew that the road to destruction had no end, and war was not the way to solve all problems. But if they were asked to build, they didn't know how to build.
After all, the population of the main ethnic group of Asgard was too small, so small that it was outrageous. Imagining building an interstellar empire spanning several star sectors like the three major empires was probably unrealistic.
But whether it was technology or magic, their research path had already reached the end. Weapon technology had developed to the top, and at any time, they could send a portal plus a planet-destroying cannon to ride on the face. Magic didn't need to be said, the best weapon was the divine power enchantment +16 fist.
But if they wanted to talk about developing infrastructure, Asgard had nothing to build, because the God race itself was strong enough and didn't need any life-sustaining measures, just floating in the universe.
Resources were abundant and needs were few, and there was no distribution problem. The God King was too strong and no one could beat him, and there was no need to consider the safety of the race. The population was small, the concepts were simple, and there was no necessity to improve spiritual civilization.
It could be said that there was a reason why Asgard had been stagnant for so many years. They really had no needs anymore. The people didn't know that Ragnarok would eventually come, so there was no motivation for development.
But this newly succeeded God King seemed to intend to do something unprecedented. Most of the people felt a bit panicked about the sudden change.
And at this time, Loki advised Thor not to call this matter a technology expo, but to call it a military parade.
Sure enough, as soon as the order was announced, the whole of Asgard boiled, and they went to train happily.
Calling it a military parade was actually correct, because the God race of Asgard had no survival needs, so their technology tree was all pointed at weapons, and most weapons needed the divine power of Asgardians to drive them. Then wasn't a technology expo a military parade?
After reaching internal consensus, the Asgard royal family began to send out invitations to the outside world, and the interstellar civilizations that received the invitations also presented various states.
The interstellar civilizations that could receive invitations basically already had the ability to sail freely in the universe, and such civilizations could already be called medium and large civilizations in interstellar society. After all, free sailing meant interstellar colonization, and interstellar colonization meant having territory, weapons, and population, so development naturally wouldn't be bad.
The first reaction of these civilizations when receiving the invitation was, is Asgard trying to trick the dogs over to kill them??
They had this reaction, and it still had to start from Loki's great name in the universe.
This Asgard prince, who wrote the four words "God of Deception" on his face but could still always trick people, was rampant in the circle of interstellar fraud and had never met an opponent, creating a great name in just a few years.
From the three major empires of the universe to the young interstellar civilizations that had just left their mother planet in a spaceship, there was no one who hadn't been tricked by him.
Combined with various cosmic demon gods and the Asgard Sanctum, Loki only used a few years to play a powerful interstellar fraud combination punch, developing an industrial blue ocean in the field of Asgard filling the World Tree deficit.
And the righteous interstellar anti-fraud tutor Thanos, entrusted by the three major empires of the universe, led various medium and large civilizations to strictly guard against death. The two went back and forth, using all kinds of tricks, and fought happily.
Although Thanos relied on the three major empires, had connections, and had resources, Loki was backed by two Asgard God Kings. A big fist was the hard truth, and he had peers who helped with all their strength, and the Sanctum think tank helped throughout the process, currently still occupying the upper hand.
Thanos originally just wanted to use the identity of guarding against interstellar fraud tutors to enter the upper class of interstellar society and gradually complete his dream of being a cosmic overlord.
But once this identity card was taken, it was equivalent to being dragged into the mud, and he was set up, having to invest huge energy to maintain his own persona.
But gradually, Thanos discovered that he and Loki had reached a subtle balance.
Once Loki occupied the upper hand, the three major empires were unbearable, so they could only invite Thanos, and Thanos would become very important. Once Thanos occupied the upper hand, he would be invited by various people in the upper class again, and his reputation would rise.
Both smart people knew this well. Therefore, when Kang the Conqueror drifted to this universe, Thanos wanted to kill him. Any side of the balance losing the weight was not entirely a good thing for the other side, and besides, the two of them didn't have any grudges to begin with.
And this time, Asgard sent out invitations widely, inviting heroes from all walks of life to come to watch the ceremony. The medium and large civilizations that had been tricked by Loki all felt very panicked. They suspected that this might be another trap.
But worry was worry, they didn't dare not reply. Being tricked by Loki, at most they would lose a little energy and resources. If they were targeted by the God King, it might be that natural disasters would come.
In fact, Asgard's reputation in the interstellar space before was not good at all, and it was called "moving natural disaster".
Wherever Odin led the army to fight, the interstellar civilizations there had to move overnight and retreat. All those who tried to hold their ground and fight Odin hard had become ashes under the thunder.
Everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. After Odin retired, many civilizations were simply beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers.
They didn't count on the natural disaster disappearing at all. At that time, they felt that the next God King was 100% the same virtue, just that they could live in peace for a period of time.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Thor took the stage, Asgard was as quiet as if it didn't exist. On the contrary, Prince Loki was running around everywhere, and he was there in nine out of ten places. Other interstellar civilizations had a feeling of death penalty probation execution.
But after a long time, people couldn't help but think, if such days could continue forever, that would be great! Being tricked was better than being beaten!
They were afraid that they had received an invitation but didn't go, angering God King Thor and letting the natural disaster return. Wouldn't that be more tragic than losing property?
These medium and large civilizations were tangled, so they couldn't help but ask for instructions. But the three major empires that received the invitation had long had a premonition, so they invited the anti-fraud tutor who had the most experience in dealing with Loki—Thanos.
And Thanos only gave one sentence: "Go. Not only go, but the more people who go, the better." ===== CHAPTER 1317 =====
