Chapter 1326: The Interstellar Grand Stage (Part 50)

Schiller looked at Strange with a mix of amusement and frustration and asked: "Then what does Doom plan to do? Can't Mephisto let him meet his mother?"

"Mephisto isn't that petty." Strange sighed, took another sip of tea, and said: "He brought the soul of Doom's mother to the Sanctum. The mother and son met. Doom hoped his mother could be resurrected and return to his side."

"But his mother is an independent woman. She was a model worker back then. She firmly refused to give up her job and let her son support her."

"Even if this job is calculating accounts in Hell?"

"Even if this job is calculating accounts in Hell." Strange also showed a wry smile and said: "Doom's mother scolded him, telling him to go back to work if he had nothing to do and stop worrying about her. An excellent worker can support herself anywhere."

Strange touched his cheek and said: "Doom was unwilling to give up and insisted on taking his mother away, but Doom's mother also has a fiery temper and absolutely wouldn't allow her son to mess around. The two of them started arguing directly in the Sanctum."

"Doom got emotional and spoke without thinking. His mother rushed up and slapped him. Mephisto hypocritically wanted to mediate and also got slapped. Even the lion god who was watching the fun nearby hid a bit late and also got a slap."

Strange covered his eyes and said: "The whole room of demon gods and demons were spun around like tops by this lady. I originally felt a bit sorry for Doom, but Mephisto told me that one of his demon subordinates cursed, and Doom controlled a robot to rush up and slap him... Truly like mother, like son."

Schiller smiled helplessly and said: "You say, why did they have to provoke a Soviet female worker?"

Then Schiller sighed again and said: "I think, just from his mother's performance, you can see that this Majesty Doom is not a character to be trifled with. Does he have any opinions on Latveria's position in the solar system development plan?"

Strange shook his head gently and said: "Now, Doom doesn't directly control Latveria. He built a robot to put there as a decoration, and he is doing experiments in the East Asian region himself."

"Experiments? What is he mainly researching?"

"Who knows?" Strange frowned, put the teacup aside, thought for a while, and said: "Doom followed his mother to contact the magic world, but his mother has the talent of a magician and can use the divination and curse abilities of Gypsy witches. This ability mainly comes from the demon gods contracted by the Gypsy lineage."

"But this ability is passed on to daughters, not sons. Doom himself cannot use magic, but he has developed an unprecedented method of using magic energy with machines. I estimate he is studying this method in depth."

"However, the place where he is researching is not far from Mount Ximalaya. You know, that place is relatively remote for any country, and control is not strong, so there are quite a few figures who are not easy to talk about hiding there, including some black magicians who once rebelled from Kamar-Taj. Of course, it also includes the Mandarin."

"I restrain the mages of Kamar-Taj from going there less, because once we show up, it will cause a lot of ripples. We have an agreement with the great Eastern country to try our best to maintain the stability there. Once those gray-zone figures feel they are threatened, they might go and affect ordinary people, which will make it very difficult for us."

Strange's expression was a bit difficult. Obviously, he saw that Schiller was very curious about Doom, and since Doom is researching magic, Strange, as the Sorcerer Supreme, should understand his movements.

But in fact, although the Sorcerer Supreme is famous outside, the control over the magic world within Earth has never been very strong.

The main reason is that the Ancient One didn't put her mind on this aspect before and preferred to let nature take its course. Strange has only been in power for a few years and has been busy updating the magic technology of Kamar-Taj, never having time to clean up the magic world.

This led to cockroaches like the Mandarin having room to survive, jumping back and forth between reality and the magic world. Even Doom is doing research at the foot of Mount Ximalaya, and Strange doesn't know very well what he is researching.

Compared to Stark knowing every project group like the back of his hand and knowing the personnel composition by heart, Strange is indeed lagging behind in this aspect. But the magic world has only been out of its primitive state for a few years, and there is still a long way to go to build a modern management system.

Schiller also understood this point, so he didn't chase Strange to ask, but changed direction and asked: "Then why do you think Doom is researching this technology? Just to fish his mother back?"

"It might have been before, but now it is more for self-protection. Not only did he have a conflict with the Egyptian pantheon, but now the great Eastern country has finally freed up its hands to start solving the problems in the gray zone of the magic world."

"About two weeks ago, Kamar-Taj also received a letter from the S. P. E. A. R. They said that the exchange activity between the S. P. E. A. R. and the Indian pantheon has officially set off and might pass by the vicinity of Mount Ximalaya, which will cause some power fluctuations, asking us not to panic."

"But I also know that they must be wanting to take action against the people there." Strange leaned on the armrest, supporting his head with his fingers, and said: "For so many years, the monsters and ghosts there haven't caused them less trouble. I estimate the reckoning will come soon."

Schiller nodded, feeling that what Strange said made sense. In fact, he could also imagine that China is vast and rich in resources, and because the time of modernization was late, the black magicians who were forced into corners by Western high-speed modernization in the early years might choose to go to some no-man's land on the border to continue their evil plans.

However, in recent years, as that great Eastern country develops faster and faster and the situation becomes more stable, there will inevitably be a day of reckoning. Plus, before, Schiller gave Zheng Xian some hints of working from inside and outside, I am afraid the S. P. E. A. R.'s reckoning action will start with this China-India cultural exchange activity.

Schiller originally wanted to let the S. P. E. A. R. put some pressure on the Mandarin, making him too busy to come out and make trouble, but if a Doctor Doom were mixed in, it would be hard to say.

Originally, at this time point, Doctor Doom was either just preparing to reform Latveria's internal affairs or was plotting to resurrect his mother.

But because of Schiller's arrival and the establishment of the Sanctum, humans have had more contact with demon gods, and there are more ways to obtain energy. Doom gathered the energy to resurrect his mother ahead of schedule and also contacted Mephisto through the Sanctum.

But it was also because of the dimensional demon god financial system that Schiller created that Mephisto urgently needed talents in the financial industry and turned Doom's mother out from the corners of the Hell dimension, and even appointed her as the team leader of the accounting group.

It just so happened that Doom's mother is a career-oriented woman. As long as she can be reused and show her talents, she doesn't care where she works. And this tough lady really made a career in Hell with her talents, which can be said to be like mother, like son.

But this led to the fact that when Doom came to find his mother, his mother had her own life and was unwilling to go back with him.

Schiller speculated that Doom might have felt a bit sad, stopped managing the country, stopped building the resurrection machine, and ran to the foot of Mount Ximalaya to retreat and do experiments.

The butterfly effect brought about by changing the situation is like this. One time point is advanced, and all time points will be advanced.

Schiller knew that at this time point, Doctor Doom might step onto the world stage. He had originally made a series of response plans for Latveria, but Doom ran to retreat and do experiments, and these plans became useless instead.

In fact, these bizarre small countries on the Marvel Earth are in a similar situation to mutants. Wakanda can borrow the power of the Panther God, and its technology is relatively developed, but its population is too small and not very united. Latveria was relatively backward originally, but with Doom, it can be considered a high-tech country.

Such groups are most suitable for interstellar pioneering. They are hindered by their small territory and cannot show their talents, and their international status does not match their strength. Since that is the case, other star systems have plenty of planets. If they really have the ability, it is not impossible to start interstellar colonization ahead of schedule.

Schiller knew very well that judging from the current situation of humans, it is unfeasible to follow the highly centralized militarism like the Kree Empire or the Skrull Empire. Instead, the feudal system that blossoms everywhere is more efficient.

Those who have the ability to go out should go out first. No one has the right to say anything about the resources they snatch with their own ability. A large number of ordinary people should stay in the greenhouse first. Only when the life support system and medical system develop to a certain extent can they go out, which can ensure the safety of the main ethnic group.

Otherwise, if everyone swarms to emigrate, in case of encountering alien viruses or natural and man-made disasters, the main civilization population will drop sharply, and just recuperating will delay many years.

Therefore, the path Schiller arranged for Latveria and Doctor Doom is similar to that of mutants. If you have the ability, go directly to the universe and snatch meat from those interstellar civilizations. Then we will definitely support you with all our strength. If you want resources, we have resources; if you want energy, we have energy. Mother Earth will always be your strong backing.

Since mutants opened up the situation in the Andromeda Galaxy, Wakanda has also been eager to move, but T'Challa is still working on solving internal problems.

Once the power of the Wakanda tribal alliance is fully condensed, they can leave the solar system in their own spaceships, find a suitable forward position, and open up new territory.

Wakanda's technology is relatively developed compared to ordinary countries on Earth, but if it faces those medium and large interstellar civilizations, it is not enough.

But as the vanguard of exploring the universe, whether it is the Stark Group or the Sanctum, they will provide blood transfusions behind them, and even the Egyptian pantheon will help with all their strength.

After all, now it is the Egyptian pantheon pointing at Wakanda. They know that if it weren't for Schiller showing mercy for the sake of Wakanda, Khonshu, and the Hippo Goddess, the Egyptian pantheon, which only has a few big cats and small kittens left, would sooner or later be the fate of a member's gift.

However, it is not enough for just Wakanda to go out. On one hand, they are afraid of having different hearts and guarding against infiltration; on the other hand, there is no competition. Schiller originally planned to let Wakanda and Latveria entangle and share the same new district to carry out a pioneering competition.

These two countries have many similarities, especially, they both follow the path of integrating technology and magic, and have many complementary points. Wakanda's vibranium belongs to high-quality metal resources, and Doom's robot technology is also unique. In this way, they can develop in cooperation, progress in competition, and can also check and balance each other, so as not to go astray.

When Schiller heard the news about Doom from Strange, he had already thought of the rhetoric to tell Black Panther later. But he didn't expect Doom to throw Latveria away and run to do experiments himself. Without Latveria, Schiller really didn't dare to let Wakanda run to an unfamiliar star system to pioneer.

It must be said that Black Panther, whether in military force or IQ, is far worse than Doctor Doom. It is said to be cooperation and competition, but in fact, it is Doctor Doom acting as the big brother leading the team. Without Doctor Doom as a guarantee of military and intelligence, Wakanda would easily be ten pounds heavy with the box if it rushed into the interstellar society like this.

Schiller actually doesn't like moral kidnapping. He won't say to Doom, you have to do something for the future of humanity. He prefers to come up with a plan like a ball of yarn, letting the other party walk on the route he planned unconsciously. As long as the other party is confused by him, he can save the trouble of explaining.

It seems that this step can only be moved to another position, Schiller thought. He has to carefully consider which plan to entangle the line of Doom and Latveria into in order to exert the greatest effect.

Just as Schiller was thinking, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and found it was from Loki, so he pressed the answer button and said to the other side: "How is it? Loki? Did you get the dimension cutting technology of the Shi'ar Empire?"

"Got it. In fact, we have already brought the equipment to this universe, but the situation has changed!"

Schiller's brow frowned slightly. He heard that Loki's tone was unusual, her speaking speed was faster, and her tone was higher, obviously very excited.

Strange also heard the voice of Loki on the phone. He immediately sat up straight, his body a bit nervous, and asked: "What's wrong? Did the plan go wrong?"

"Don't worry, Loki, what's wrong? Where are you now?"

And at this time, Loki, who was in a piece of ruins in outer space, swallowed with glowing eyes and said to the other side of the phone:

"Where I am is not important. What is important is that there are gifts from nature everywhere here!!!"
