Chapter 1321: Interstellar Grand Stage (45)

"So, you mean, your universe has now lost half of its people, and the Thanos of your universe is still holding the gauntlet embedded with Infinity Stones, and has returned to his home planet?"

Thanos behind the desk took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

Loki, sitting on the side of the table, hugged his arms, shook his head and said: "Why do I feel that everyone in the universe you mentioned is so weak?"

Peter pursed his mouth, lowered his head and admitted somewhat embarrassedly: "Compared to the center universe, it is a bit weak, or rather, you are too strong. Of course, this is not Mr. Stark's or the Captain's fault, mainly because our generation of young heroes hasn't grown up yet."

"No." Thanos denied this point and said: "The key lies in Asgard's new God King, that is, Thor."

"If the Thor of your universe was like our universe, becoming the God King of Creation Thunder and Civilization Fire, guarding Asgard with the All-Father Odin, then even if you gave Thanos a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to attack the Nine Realms." Loki snorted coldly and said.

Thanos didn't deny this either. He just said very calmly: "The whole universe knows that it is unwise to go head-to-head with Asgard. Ragnarok was the only opportunity, but unfortunately, in this universe, this disaster was delayed indefinitely by you."

Loki revealed a cold smile and said: "Ragnarok is an open secret among the high-level of the three major empires, but we all know that you are just using the fact that the God race will eventually perish to comfort yourself, getting a little bit of pitiful self-esteem from here, to make up for the trauma of being beaten by Odin."

"Do you know what the Thanos of your universe is doing now?" Thanos looked into Peter's eyes and asked.

Peter didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, but couldn't help but look. When he looked into Thanos's eyes, he saw an abyss without bottom, but it was different from the Thanos he had seen. There was no madness, anger, or smugness in it, only coldness that was deep and deep.

This was more terrifying than those extreme emotions. Peter looked away and said: "I don't know, he achieved his goal, maybe he already felt satisfied, so he retired."

Peter said with a bit of joking, but Thanos and Loki both frowned. He looked at Peter and asked: "Does he have any actions in the universe? What is the reaction of the three major empires? The Interstellar Safety United Fleet? What about public opinion?"

Facing a series of questions, Peter appeared somewhat blank. He shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I didn't see any fleet when I went back."

"Impossible." Thanos said in a deep voice: "The three major empires couldn't have no reaction to such a big thing. Their tracking technology is very developed. Once they discover the point where power erupts, they will inevitably send a fleet to check, which means, if you had returned to Earth, you should have seen their fleet."

"Even if Thanos is not there, they can find him by following the power trajectory of his movement."

"But I really didn't see anything." Peter shook his head and said.

"What are they doing?!" Loki said unceremoniously: "Half of their country's population disappeared, and they didn't go to investigate?! Could it be that from beginning to end, only a few heroes on Earth and Thor the Thunder God were fighting Thanos???"

"What about Mephisto, the Lord of Hell? Thanos sent half of the people of a universe to Death in an instant. He definitely didn't have time to intercept the souls. Isn't that a big loss? And after the population decreased by half, won't the soul income of his Hell dimension be reduced by half in the future? Is he made of mud that he isn't anxious?" Loki said with some dissatisfaction.

Thanos supported his chin with his fist, thought for a while and said: "If this happened in this universe..."

Thanos dragged a long tone, then looked at Loki and said: "Excluding the group of monsters and ghosts that are with you, at the moment the population disappears, the three major empires will immediately sound the highest alarm. Within three seconds, the final weapon will start preheating, and the button will be sent directly to the table of the highest leader."

"Immediately following is a full-universe energy band scan by the Ring Star Sector Joint Scanning Hub. After finding the energy eruption center point, the jump fleet will immediately set off. The first stop should be Earth, where the energy erupted."

"After discovering that the culprit disappeared, the fleet will immediately start energy trace scanning. After finding the teleportation channel, they will carry out tracking jumps. Less than half a minute after the snap, the fleets of the three major empires will descend on the culprit's head."

"Even if he snaps his fingers again, it's useless. Once the situation deteriorates to the point where it cannot be recovered, the final weapons set by the three major empires will be activated."

"The Shi'ar Empire's Great Portal will explode immediately, the Kree Empire's Supreme Intelligence will lift all restriction protocols, and the Skrull Empire's antimatter annihilation device will be deployed in the maximum range. No one wants to live."

Peter listened with a pale face. He widened his eyes and looked at Thanos, saying: "The three major empires still have these things???"

"If they didn't have these things, how could they be called the three major empires?" Loki looked at Peter's face and asked back.

Loki took his arm off the table, straightened his body and leaned against the back of the chair and said: "Every existence that can dominate the class in society must have the ability to pull everyone to die together. Otherwise, why should we have scruples? We only use gentle means to let them move their positions. Do you really think our temper is good?"

A cold light flashed in Loki's eyes. Although Thanos didn't nod, his expression was obviously in agreement.

So many masters of strategy gathered together, both with brains and without morality, what is it that they can't do?

If it weren't for the fact that the three major empires indeed have the ability to burn jade and stone together, what else would they have a headache about?

Indeed, these weapons might not be useful for the strong in these civilizations. For example, even if these three things explode at the same time, they won't harm the Iron Demon God. Even if there is no Thanos who has ascended, as long as he runs fast enough and far enough, hiding in some corner, he can also live.

But just like the dilemma faced by mutants, what the three parties of Earth, Asgard, and the Dark Quadrant want is a prosperous interstellar society and their own status in this civilized society, rather than guarding a piece of wasteland and ruins to start from scratch.

Earth's short-term goal is interstellar colonization, Asgard wants to use civilized methods to obtain energy to fill the World Tree deficit, and Thanos wants to be a cosmic overlord, the kind of cosmic overlord who has territory, population, and power, not a wanderer wandering in the universe alone.

This means that none of these three parties can use some extreme means to force the three major empires to vacate their positions. Otherwise, no matter which party gets anxious, the leaders of the three forces might be able to live, but the civilization and ethnic group will definitely be completely finished.

To say that among these three parties, Thanos is the one who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, after all, he has nothing now, but he also understands one thing: if he goes to provoke the three major empires and let them flatten the universe, then the strong who survive on Earth and Asgard will definitely not let him go.

So Thanos gave up looking for Infinity Stones to build a gauntlet very early. He understood that such an extreme violent measure, once played badly, letting the three major empires pull the universe to be buried, leading to the social extinction of humanity, he would definitely not be able to beat the Iron Demon God plus the God of Light King plus the All-Father plus the Sorcerer Supreme.

Individual strength and civilization prosperity are always complementary. Thanos and Loki both understand this truth, so they can sit at the table calmly and reach a tacit understanding or even carry out cooperation in some aspects.

Only when the strong are wary of each other is the best balance.

"It seems that the universe you are in is not just weak in superheroes." Loki frowned and said: "This is a bit troublesome. Originally, I thought that you would find a way to locate Thanos, and then drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, but now it seems that it will be very difficult."

Thanos also leaned back, leaned on the chair and revealed a cold smile, saying: "Don't count on me to deal with another self, I don't have a gauntlet, I can't beat him."

Peter didn't expect this Thanos to admit that he was weak so easily, but Loki thought thoughtfully and said: "Shiler let you leave the sanitarium, it is definitely not without a goal. I don't think it is just to lead Nick out and observe to what extent he is doing now..."

"Shiler likes to wind a plan into a ball of wool the most, one move achieves many different goals. He let you run out of the sanitarium, knowing that you will definitely go to your universe, knowing that Nick will definitely save you, knowing that you will definitely ask Nick for help."

Loki touched his chin and speculated: "Shiler knows all the above information, so he should also be able to think that you will eventually come to me, which means he feels that I can give you useful suggestions."

Loki dragged a long tone, as if he couldn't infer anymore, because there was indeed no very good suggestion in his head, at least not now, but suddenly he realized and said: "Wait, it's not that simple!"

Loki said in a low voice: "When I didn't tell Shiler that I had cooperation with Thanos, Shiler didn't let you come to me. And after I revealed to him the plan of Asgard regarding the Interstellar Technology Expo, you appeared here, which means the key lies in... my new cooperation partner."

After speaking, Loki dropped his gaze on Thanos's face, and then he thought that Thanos wouldn't eat this kind of provocation. They were the same kind of people. In the face of interests, dignity and face had to stand behind. Without enough interests, Thanos couldn't possibly make a move.

And it was also just like what Thanos himself said, what if he made a move? He has no people, no land, and no divine artifact now, I am afraid he really might not be able to beat Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Suddenly, Loki's expression paused, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. Then, he revealed a smile.

Thanos carefully observed Loki's expression. He also wanted to know what the group of humans on Earth who lacked morality were doing again.

Just at this time, he heard Loki ask Peter: "The Thanos of your universe, should be the monarch of the Dark Quadrant, right?"

Peter thought for a while and said: "He seems to be the leader of some force, and he has a fleet."

Loki opened his mouth, raised his head slightly and made an understanding expression, then said: "Then the Dark Quadrant of your universe should still be alive, right?"

"I don't know where that is, but he did come from a very far place." Peter shook his head and said.

"Then he should also have quite a few powerful subordinates, right?" Loki asked knowingly again.

"Oh, that's right." Peter frowned and said: "Those few subordinates of his are all quite strong."

"Infinity Stones and Infinity Gauntlet should also be quite easy to use, right?"

"Oh, that's right." Peter frowned and said, "Those few subordinates of his are all quite strong."

"The Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet should be quite useful too, right?"

"That's for sure," Peter answered instinctively.

Then, Peter noticed that the eyes of Thanos, who was sitting across from him, were getting brighter and brighter. Peter had a bad premonition; he slowly leaned his body backward, even squeezing out a double chin, and said in a terrified tone, "W-what do you want to do?"

Then, in Peter's shocked gaze, Thanos revealed a brilliant smile.

The naive Spider-Man heard this purple-skinned giant ask in an amiable, or even warmly intimate tone:

"Child, your name is Peter, right?"

"Come, tell me, how is the me from the other universe... oh, no, my dear, long-lost brother, doing?"
