Chapter 1865: Shiler Has Disappeared Again (Part 3)

In the office of the Interstellar Security Committee, Thanos looked up from the high pile of documents, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and sighed, but the secretary who pushed the door brought new documents.

Most of the documents related to interstellar security work were sealed in special storage equipment. One device could store massive amounts of information, and such equipment in front of Thanos had already piled up like a mountain, showing how busy his work had been recently.

In fact, Thanos had been working overtime for a week in a row, and looking at this posture, he might work overtime for a longer time. Consuming physical strength and energy was nothing to the Titan Giant, but Thanos just wanted to figure out one thing—where the hell did so many cases come from?

Thanos flipped through the equipment next to him, and one holographic projection after another popped up. The text could be described as chaotic, and the pictures also made people's heads big, but Thanos also knew that he couldn't count on more. Even if every person in the entire Security Bureau had four legs, they would have to run off three legs by now.

Most of the seven cases popped up in the documents were local wars. Generally speaking, interstellar security matters, although including mediating wars, basically only mediate large-scale wars. Some small frictions in the region were not managed, and they couldn't be managed.

But it just so happened that the location of the war was not some poor and remote place, but the borders of old-fashioned developed civilizations around the Ring Star Zone. Although they were borders, they were also quite prosperous star sectors, not those dark star systems that often complained about sovereignty.

Logically speaking, after tens of thousands of years of development, the pattern here had been quite stable, and there were basically no border disputes.

But these cases were either important figures assassinated and the murderer fled, or disputes over marriage, or the loser of the succession struggle leaving. They were all events that touched core interests, and negotiations couldn't produce any results. After a few times, the border areas naturally became restless.

Ever since Thanos rose to prominence in the interstellar social political system, he had been particularly attentive to this career of his. The Ring Star Zone was the center after all, and he had been paying attention to the prelude of these cases.

And his evaluation of these events before was that although there were unstable factors, they would not break out in a short time. For the time being, he only needed to watch and didn't need to intervene, and they were also somewhat powerless to intervene.

Still the same sentence, any so-called joint political entity is actually controlled by the relatively powerful existence among the group. Whether it is the Interstellar Alliance Council or the security department, it is actually completely controlled by the three major empires, and the coalition of old-fashioned civilizations also intervened. It is always restricted by others when managing, and it is difficult to play.

But who knew that there were so many mines in this area, and they were all detonated in just over ten days. Compared to dealing with these disputes, Thanos wanted to know who had such great ability to dare to stir up trouble under the eyes of the three major empires.

Thanos took new documents from the secretary, and the secretary specifically mentioned: "The Special Investigation Section has marked out several important figures. You can take a look."

Thanos nodded and lowered his head to search on the device. Sure enough, he found some photos taken by the Special Investigation Section.

The Security Committee was not an intelligence department. Most of the time, it only mediated open contradictions. But this series of events was too complicated, and Thanos had to arrange for manpower to investigate the cause himself. The Special Investigation Section officers mixed into many banquets in the name of mediation and locked onto several suspects.

Thanos slid the pictures down and remembered the appearance of these key figures in his mind. But suddenly his fingers stiffened, because he saw a familiar face in the pictures.

Thanos hurriedly pressed the power-off button, looked up and was dazed for a while, then quickly piled the equipment in his hand and the other equipment just sent over together, put them in the farthest place, took off his glasses, and stood up from the chair.

Thanos called the secretary a few times. Hearing the shout, he walked in. Thanos stretched out a hand and said: "How much vacation do I have left?"

"Why ask this suddenly? Uh, okay, you still have two months of vacation. If you add the subsequent diplomatic invitations, you can probably save up three months..."

"Prepare the spaceship, I'm going on vacation!"

The secretary looked at him dumbfounded, and Thanos also opened his eyes wide and looked at him. The two stared at each other for a few seconds. The secretary asked very puzzled: "You are going on vacation now? But... but the Ring Star Zone..."

Thanos had already bypassed the back of the table, saying as he bypassed: "Remember the guidelines for interstellar security work? Maintain interstellar stability, respect the destiny of civilization. Now is the time to practice the second half of the sentence."

"But where are you going on vacation?"

Thanos stopped his hand buttoning his coat. He thought about it and asked: "Where is the most remote vacation spot that other committee members go to most often? The kind of place where birds don't poop."

"That... that's probably Earth."

"Change one!"

"How about Centaurus? The gambling industry there is very developed, and it is generally prosperous. There are many official reception places and entertainment centers. Many committee members will go there to play a few games when their vacation time is not enough..."

"Is there any place farther from the solar system?!"

The secretary said somewhat embarrassedly: "Now the most remote place within our official itinerary is the Milky Way. The civilizations in the Laniakea Supercluster have never been very developed. If it weren't for the good natural scenery of Earth, no one would go there at all..."

Thanos sighed. He thought about it and felt that since Shiler chose to go to the Ring Star area to cause trouble, it meant that his target this time was not on Earth. The so-called "most dangerous place is the safest place," and also "under the lamp is black." Is it a wonderful move for me to hide on Earth at this time?

Thanos also knew that there was no better choice. After all, Five-Star General MacArthur said that as long as Shiler leaves Earth, there is no place in the universe that is absolutely safe.

Thanos thought about it and felt that Earth was Shiler's old home after all, and the problem shouldn't be too big if something happened. More importantly, if he hesitated again, he might not be able to run away.

Thanos made up his mind and said directly to the secretary: "Prepare the spaceship, I'm going to Earth for a three-month trip. Don't contact me before the trip ends. Leave the work in the Ring Star Zone to Orlo. I know that guy with eight hands has been staring at my position..."

Thanos got on the spaceship like his butt was on fire. It wasn't until the spaceship started that he remembered that no one would receive him if he went like this, so he still had to say hello to the local residents.

Thinking that there was still a local Iron God living on Earth, Thanos's head hurt again. Earth really doesn't create myths, how can humans be so capable?

Thinking about it, Thanos still made a call to Asgard first. After being polite to Heimdall who answered the phone, he said: "I applied to the Security Committee to go to the Nine Realms for vacation. Our official ship has taken off. It's really rude to disturb, but it's also a sudden matter..."

Heimdall hurriedly asked what happened. Thanos smiled bitterly and said: "Something happened in the Ring Star Zone, but for safety reasons, I can't talk much. I don't know if His Majesty the God King can approve my entry permit..."

Heimdall immediately went to pass the message. Not long after, Asgard replied, expressing a warm welcome. When Thanos's official ship landed at the Asgard port, Loki personally led people to greet him.

"What wind blew you, a busy man, here?" Loki smiled and hugged Thanos, then said: "I said last time to invite you to soak in the hot spring and drink under the World Tree, but you are always busy with official business. How have you been recently?"

Thanos rolled his eyes and said as if joking: "Can I be so busy without you? Forget it, don't say it, I have to hurry to find your brother. The situation in the Ring Star Zone is not right, you also have to prepare early."

Loki had long expected the alliance between Thanos and Thor. Asgard's return to the interstellar society needed an introduction, and Thanos, a lonely Titan who had long lost his backing, also needed a strong force to support him. Plus, Loki could well help Thanos establish his prestige, and the interest alliance between the two sides was already very stable.

The two chatted and entered the Xiangong. All the Lokis working in the Xiangong saw Thanos walking in swaggeringly as if they had seen a ghost. Loki winked and threw eye knives everywhere, and only then drove away all the Lokis who wanted to watch.

"I don't want to hear what good things I did in other universes at all." Thanos directly cut off Loki's words and said: "I will issue a medal to those of me who killed you in other universes. How about writing 'Interstellar Security Guardian'?"

"Then you have to find a good furnace." Loki hugged his arms and sneered: "In the vast majority of universes, you killed me."

"Then there should be half of the medals written 'Eliminate harm for the people'."

The two walked all the way into Thor's palace. Thor was obviously in a hurry to change his clothes, and he walked out without wearing his crown. He frowned and looked at Thanos and said: "What's going on? What kind of tight situation happened in the Ring Star Zone that is worth your trip?"

"This should be what I ask you, Your Majesty. What arrangements do the Nine Realms have in the Ring Star Zone? Why didn't you tell me before you did it?"

Thor and Loki looked at each other. Loki shook his head slightly at Thor. Thor thought for a moment, then looked at Loki. Loki recalled it and shook his head again.

"You don't know either?" Thanos asked tentatively.

Both looked at Thanos. Thanos cleared his throat and said concisely: "... I saw Shiler in the Ring Star Zone!"

"Cough cough cough cough!" Loki almost choked on his own saliva.

Thor patted Loki on the back, looked at Thanos and asked: "What did Shiler go there for? Have humans had any movements recently?"

Thanos shook his head and said: "I don't know for the time being. I only know that he is fanning the flames everywhere in the Ring Star Zone, and he is about to stir it into a big battlefield."

"I'm worried that he has another desperate big plan, so I hurriedly asked for leave and ran out, throwing that mess to my competitor."

Loki secretly gave Thanos a thumbs up. Thor shook his head, led Thanos to take a seat and said: "Whether it's official business or a private itinerary, since you are here, Asgard will not neglect guests. It just so happens that Loki is free recently, he will lead you to visit the Nine Realms, and then go to Earth to stay for a few days. The environment there is suitable for recuperation..."

When Thanos and Loki walked out of the Xiangong quickly, they were still chatting about the next itinerary. Loki's idea was to play in Asgard for a few days, then go to the Dwarf Realm, Frost Realm, and Underworld to visit, and finally go to the World Tree to soak in the hot spring, and then set off for Earth.

The Loki who was peeking around heard that the Loki of this universe was going to take Thanos to Earth, and immediately rubbed his hands. Isn't this taking it down on the spot?

And Thanos was still muttering: "I have a bad premonition. I always feel that this will not be a coincidence. I just had a competitor in the Security Committee, and Shiler sang this play. I am guessing whether he has some of his own views on the interstellar security situation..."

"I think this might be related to Asgard." Loki nodded and said: "I hope I am worrying about nothing."

Little did they know, in all circles that had heard of Shiler's glorious deeds, the "coming for me" syndrome was appearing in an unprecedented human-to-human phenomenon.

For a time, the universe was in danger, except for the Molecule Man who was truly the first to bear the brunt. ===== CHAPTER 1866 =====
