Chapter 1327: The Interstellar Grand Stage (Part 51)

~13 min read 2,479 words

About a few hours ago, Loki took the space storage equipment provided by Asgard and arrived at the warehouse of the Shi'ar Empire, preparing to receive the dimension cutting equipment.

Because the external statement was cooperation with other civilizations in the Nine Realms, this was a private transaction. When Loki took away the dimension cutting equipment, there was almost no movement. Except for the Queen and a few close ministers, no one knew.

After she left Raptor Star, she immediately found an empty place with Thanos to start dividing the spoils.

This dimension cutting technology was originally requested for Thanos. After all, he has no people and no equipment now. Even if he went to that universe and beat his good brother down, he couldn't move those things away.

But with this technology, he could obtain a territory and the supplies accumulated by the Thanos of that universe. Just as Schiller and Strange deduced, there were not many things, but Thanos had no choice.

More importantly, in order to obtain this technology, he gave up a lot of benefits to Loki. It can even be said that Thanos has been pulled into the big pit of Ragnarok by Loki, becoming one of Asgard's glorious debt-repaying workers.

But if you talk about it, the entire Earth and other civilizations in the Nine Realms are also Asgard's debt-repaying workers. Maintaining Asgard's absolutely strong military status is good for everyone. Asgard's thigh is not something everyone is qualified to hug.

Obviously, Thanos also realized that cooperation with Asgard has more advantages than disadvantages, so he doesn't mind having a deeper interest binding with Asgard. Interstellar hegemony is the same as international struggle; there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Thanos and Loki both knew this, so the two didn't talk nonsense. Loki handed the equipment directly to Thanos. The two took the subway back to the Great World together, walked through the Spider Army's multiverse channel, and arrived at the universe where Peter was before.

Loki originally didn't intend to bring the Peter of this universe back, but after thinking about it, Spider-Man could be considered a strong laborer, and he was a local native who knew the situation better, so she brought Peter along before leaving.

But Loki and Peter didn't go to Titan with Thanos. Mainly Thanos didn't want the two of them to go to Titan. Thanos's feelings for his home planet were very complicated, and the bitterness of hating and loving could not be told to outsiders. Loki was also not interested in understanding. She planned to go to the Asgard of this world to see.

So, after the two sides landed, they parted ways. Thanos followed his instinct and rushed to Titan, but Loki got a bit lost.

Loki felt that her connection with the World Tree was a bit weak. The teleportation portal was opened several times but didn't open to the right place, consuming a lot of power. She could only find a place to recover her magic power first.

Loki took Peter and wandered around the universe. Wandering around, Loki found that the situation in this universe was a bit wrong—the interstellar society of this universe was a bit too quiet.

She opened teleportation portals everywhere in the universe and no one cared. She changed so many locations and didn't see a single spaceship. It was impossible in the universe where she was.

The universe is indeed very large, and no matter how many civilizations are scattered, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Loki specifically looked for places with abundant energy to open teleportation portals, and the possibility of falling into a prosperous star sector was still very high. But she teleported several times and only saw the pitch-black cosmic starry sky.

Just a few minutes ago, after a teleportation, Loki finally saw a little popularity, or rather, former popularity. Now only a piece of ruins was left here.

What appeared before her was a large piece of ruins, looking a bit like fragments left after a planet was shattered, and there were two charred starships next to it, with only the sterns left.

Looking from the perspective of these broken fragments, the hot star in the distance was gradually extinguishing, and in the remaining light, the entire vast star sector was full of wreckage.

And Loki was so surprised because she saw a familiar logo on the wreckage of the starship. That was the national emblem of the Kree Empire.

"What happened to the Kree Empire? Did they fight another thousand-year war with the Skrull Empire? But it looks like they weren't consumed in the confrontation, but more like they were directly destroyed?"

"Who exactly has the ability to directly destroy the Kree Empire's fleet?"

Loki talked to herself while leading Peter toward the center of the wreckage, and everything she saw made her more convinced of her deduction, because, in the gaps of the wreckage, Kree corpses were still floating. They had no signs of fighting and were all killed instantly.

"Is Thanos's snap so powerful?" Loki said to herself, but this made Peter ask with some doubt: "No, they didn't die from the snap."

Listening to Peter's firm tone, Loki turned to look at him. Peter said very firmly: "I have seen people who died because of Infinity Stones. They would directly turn into flying ash, instead of like this, with corpses still remaining here."

"... What exactly happened?" Loki took Peter and flew toward the deeper part of the star sector. After going deeper into this piece of wreckage, she discovered more abnormalities.

"Why is this Kree Empire's fleet so weak?" Loki felt very confused. She said: "What about their planetary warships? Why are there only such small spaceships? Why didn't I see the Supreme Intelligence's alert guard? Isn't that a troop type that every fleet of the Kree Empire must be equipped with?"

Loki is a magician, but she hasn't eaten pork but has seen pigs run. Living in Asgard since childhood and following Odin and Thor on expeditions several times, she can be considered to have some understanding of starships.

In Loki's view, these wrecks, even in their complete heyday, could only be said to be not-so-powerful toys. Let alone comparing with Asgard's main warships, even scout ships couldn't compare.

Peter, who had stayed in the central universe Earth for a period of time, had also followed a scientific expedition fleet to the edge of the Milky Way and seen those Kree frigates that had been Earth's property since ancient times.

It is no exaggeration to say that even those frigates that the Kree didn't value too much were behemoths compared to the wreckage on the field now.

Finding their energy hub, Loki stood on a dilapidated fragment, leaned over to look inside, and saw an engine device that was still emitting a faint light. She stretched out a hand, recorded the energy fluctuation of the engine with magic, waved her staff gently, and a teleportation portal opened again.

"I have locked their energy fluctuations. Let's go, let's go see if the main warships are nearby."

The teleportation portal flashed, and the figures of Loki and Peter disappeared again, but when they landed again, the wreckage they saw was still no different from just now. The spaceships were not large, the strength was not high, and they looked like they were damaged by external forces.

Loki ran to several locations along the energy fluctuations, but found that every place was like this. Loki shook her head and said: "Although I know that the overall power of this universe is very weak, being weak to this extent still exceeded my expectations."

After speaking, she clicked her tongue and said: "The Skrull Empire of this universe is really lucky. The Kree Empire lost so much power, they can be at ease for the next few years... Wait, what is that?"

Loki flew forward with some doubt, because she saw some unusual parts on the edge of the wreckage of the Kree Empire fleet.

After Loki flew over, she saw another familiar logo. She said to herself: "Isn't this the national emblem of the Skrull Empire? How did they also fall here?"

Loki suddenly froze. She seemed to have thought of something, and said: "If the power of interstellar civilizations in this universe is generally very weak, wouldn't Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet be able to destroy them all? Or is it that the Thanos of this universe has already done so?!"

"That is to say... the three great empires of this universe have already been destroyed?!!!" Loki suddenly raised her tone.

Loki felt her heart beating violently. She immediately waved her staff and began to teleport crazily with Peter, not hesitating to overdraw her power, just to check the situation of this universe at the fastest speed.

And the facts were indeed as she expected. The entire universe was silent, and the fleets of the three great empires had completely disappeared.

And when Loki teleported to the Raptor Star sector, the large teleportation portal had already gone out, the planet where the imperial capital was located was completely shattered, and the glory of this huge empire was no longer there.

Loki's hands were trembling a bit. Her next action was to take out the phone and press the emergency dial key. Power was transmitted through Spider-Man's multiverse communication network. Loki almost shouted to the other side: "... Here are all gifts from nature!!!"

Schiller, who received the call, was slightly stunned. He didn't react for a while. The movies in the Avengers series were relatively distant memories for him, placed at the bottom of the Tower's database.

Schiller knew that because of budget issues in the movie universe, the performance of each hero was not strong.

But until Loki shouted this sentence, Schiller realized that the movie universe didn't seem to be just that the heroes of the Avengers were weak, the three great empires were like they didn't exist, so much so that Schiller ignored them.

But thinking about it, he knew that although the movie didn't often show cosmic empires, if that universe was a real world and not a movie, there would inevitably be three great empires.

Then, Thanos being able to successfully get the Infinity Stones and come to Earth showed that the three great empires were no longer his obstacles. I am afraid the three great empires had long been destroyed by him and his subordinates.

But thinking about it, he knew that Thanos couldn't have time to swallow the legacy of the three great empires. Thanos in the movie was in a hurry to reduce the population of the universe. Basically, he left after fighting and didn't touch the corpses at all.

But he didn't touch the corpses, wouldn't that be cheap for the universe where Schiller was? From human mages to cosmic demon gods, they carry sacks, eyes are equipped with radars, and they don't pick up if they go out. They don't know anything else, they only know how to pick up corpses.

Perhaps some people would feel, the three great empires in the movie universe are so weak, what can happen even if they touch the corpses?

But what is wanted is weakness. If a complete large teleportation portal were really touched back, humans wouldn't say they could crack the technology, even restoring it to operation would be difficult. It can be said that the weaker and more broken, the better. And they have to thank Thanos for completing this step of violent dismantling. Otherwise, relying on human metal drills, they would have to dismantle until the year of the monkey?

Schiller immediately stood up from the table. Seeing his serious face, Strange knew that something big had happened.

Schiller looked at Strange and said: "Immediately return to Kamar-Taj to summon the mages. Stop all work at hand for now. The cross-universe resource collection mission starts immediately!"

Strange narrowed his eyes, followed Schiller out while saying: "Don't worry, mages are best at transporting resources. I will return to the Sanctum now to start coordinating..."

The two parted ways after going out. After Schiller arrived at the office, he immediately picked up the phone and said to the other side: "Hello? Nick, put aside the work at hand first. Another pie has fallen from the sky..."

"Hello? Tony? Did you read the document I just asked Jarvis to send you?... What, didn't understand? If you didn't understand, that's right! Don't ask so much. Now you only need to prepare all robots related to transport at the fastest speed. The mage's teleportation portal will arrive soon..."

"Hello, Director Zheng? It's me. How is your pantheon cultural exchange activity? Oh, nothing, it's just that I heard that your technology of Sumeru Mustard Seed magic bags has always been at the forefront of the magic world. I want to move some things here. I don't know if you are interested in participating?... Oh, not much, just the legacy of the three great empires of the universe."

"Hello? T'Challa? Put aside the sailing matter first. Now there is a more urgent matter. Your space compression technology should be quite good, right? Good, wait until you enter the mage's teleportation portal, we will talk in detail..."

"Hello, Professor Charles? Oh, is Lorna there? That's just right. You know me, another wave of gifts from nature..."

"Hello? Is it Helen? I'm looking for your uncle. Is he there? Oh, your mother called him? Good, I know. We'll see you at the subway entrance."

Schiller made more than a dozen calls in one breath, but after thinking about it, he still felt it was not enough. After a little thought, Schiller picked up the phone again and dialed a number, saying: "Hello? Reed? Oh, I'm Schiller. It's like this, we found in a universe..."

After a while, Schiller hung up the phone and found another number, dialed it, and the opposite side answered with a mechanical voice, and Schiller said very naturally:

"Hello? Majesty Doom?... Don't worry about who I am first. In fact, I just called Reed. You two should be college classmates, right?"

"I know you are very sad, but don't be sad first. Reed said that you were his follower in college and could only eat the leftovers of some boring experimental results behind his butt... By the way, I heard that he is going to take a subway to another universe to snatch back more precious resources for humanity..."

"Don't misunderstand, this is definitely not a provocation... What, you said that alien technology cannot compare to the great Majesty Doom's invention, so this has no meaning?"

"No, no, no, you are wrong. The meaning is to see who is more genius between you and Reed..."

Old tricks repeated again and again
