Chapter 3134

The Skrulls were indeed underprepared. Obviously, the person who formulated this plan wasn't very smart. The on-site preparation was bound to drag on for a long time. Just starting that whole set of electromagnetic shielding equipment took more than half an hour.

Apocalypse saying this was just to drag out time.

Loki in the office had long since disappeared. Since she was already here, of course, she had to play her part. In this kind of occasion, her biggest role was naturally not to go head-to-head with others, but to sneakily open a portal.

The portal Loki opened wasn't the kind of portable portal of human mages. With sufficient divine power, the portal she opened could directly transport three Asgardian main fleets. This was the job she did most often in the army before.

Of course, the portal she opened still wasn't as easy to use as the Bifrost; it was just used occasionally when encountering accidents and needing to take a detour.

The Skrulls' space blockade was non-existent to Loki. If the three great empires had the ability to block Asgardians from opening portals, they wouldn't be ridden in the face by them every day.

Just when the Skrulls were preparing to verify the goods, a large portal was quietly opened in the corner of this star system, and the fleet with the Shi'ar Empire noble livery slowly sailed into the star system.

The Shi'ar Empire commander didn't suspect anything because although this was said to be the Skrull Empire's territory, it was relatively peripheral, as remote as the Milky Way. It was unlikely that the Skrull Empire's main force was here. Without fighting the main force, they wouldn't be in life-threatening danger.

They had just sailed over when the Skrull fleet discovered them. The Skrull commander cursed: "Despicable! They actually cooperated with the Shi'ar Empire!"

"Quick! Quick, get that thing back! Apocalypse! If the item is lost, I won't let you off!"

Apocalypse immediately flew towards the small spaceship, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, the Skrulls were fooled.

They thought it was a play acted out by the mutants and the Shi'ar Empire, so that they would think the product of the Life Fusion Project had been successfully stolen, and then come here to receive the goods, and finally unite with the Shi'ar Empire's fleet to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

They couldn't care less about what was in that small spaceship now. If there was something, that was best; if not, then they had just been unlucky. The key was to get the item and run. Although their three fleets weren't weak, the individual combat capability of the Shi'ar Empire's starships was stronger than the other two great empires, and this time there were five of them. If they ran slowly, they would really be finished here.

The Skrull Empire wasn't like the Kree Empire, which had the Supreme Intelligence monitoring everything, and no one dared to be a deserter. They were actually each doing their own thing, and their own lives were more important. If the plan failed, at most they would be punished. If they didn't run, they would die here.

After Apocalypse controlled the small spaceship, the Skrull Empire's spaceship threw out a gravity trap, directly dragged the small spaceship back into the fleet, stuffed it into a cargo ship, immediately started the jump engine, turned around, and ran.

They ran too fast, so they didn't see Magneto turn his head to look at the Shi'ar Empire fleet and lift his hand gently.

Loki, who had just returned to the office, couldn't bear to watch the subsequent scene. Mutants were best at destruction. In this regard, even Asgard couldn't compare to them, and there was no one in the entire universe who could surpass them.

If one had to say, mutants just lost in being too young. Magneto and Professor X were born too late. For thousands of years, they had never been able to produce a leader like Odin, otherwise, their status in the interstellar space should be on par with Asgard.

After watching the grand explosion scene for a while, Loki finished the coffee in her hand. She turned to look at the expressionless Thanos and said: "Once the Shi'ar Empire declares war on the New Skrull Empire, who do you plan to send to mediate?"

Professor X also looked at Thanos.

Thanos smiled and said: "Of course, you."

Professor X stopped talking. Send Loki to mediate? Are you speaking human language?

"Stop messing around." Loki said: "If I weren't an Asgardian prince, it wouldn't matter if I went to play, but I represent Asgard. If I say they can't fight, they might really not fight."

Professor X then realized that what Loki said also made sense. Asgard still had a certain deterrent power. If Loki were really sent to mediate, it might really stop.

"Then whoever wants them to fight the most, let them go."

"Schiller? I can help you call him, but in case all three great empires start fighting, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"I didn't say him." Thanos said: "And it's not like he's the only human. Can't you send someone else?"

Loki stood up and paced twice, then said: "The Avengers do have many good hands and some fame in the universe, but they have never worked in the Interstellar Alliance. If you send them over just like that, isn't it a bit like favoritism?"

"Whose favoritism am I showing?" Thanos drank some coffee and said: "I am not a human, I have nothing to do with Earth, and I don't know any humans."

"That's what I'm saying." Loki said: "Mediating the war between two great empires is a difficult job. If you directly say you want to send a human over, they will definitely think you are taking the opportunity to suppress humans."

"So what?" Thanos said: "If I appear too close to humans, and humans occupy the vacated positions later, will they suspect it was me?"

Professor X naturally understood what they were getting at. Simply put, once the two great empires declared war, the Interstellar Council would inevitably fulfill its duties and send security department personnel to mediate.

But mediation is a particularly difficult job. Even if you are from the interstellar security department, as long as you have a race and a background, you definitely carry a stance. If you speak for the Shi'ar Empire, people will feel that your civilization is biased towards the Shi'ar Empire, and you will inevitably be targeted by the other side. The same is true in reverse.

If one had to give an example, it would be a bit like Poland sending someone to mediate the war between the Soviet Union and Germany.

The result, of course, was that there was no Poland.

If there were no accidents, searching through the entire security department, no one would want to do this job. And Thanos wanted to take this opportunity to push humans out.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was of course a great offense to humans. They didn't get any benefits when there were benefits, but now that there was a difficult job, they thought of humans. How could Earth not have resentment?

But if Thanos was one of their own, this move was actually what is called drawing a line. I pushed such a difficult job to humans, which meant that I and Earth were not on the same side. Then if I recommend humans for a vacancy later, it wouldn't be me showing favoritism, but me recommending the virtuous without avoiding enemies, which is great virtue.

Sure enough, there wasn't a single person in the Interstellar Council who was easy to deal with.

Loki naturally understood as well. She coughed twice and said: "Alright, I think Earth will agree to your plan, but who is better to go?"

"Who is the director of the Time Variance Authority?"

Loki was slightly stunned, then said: "Nick?"

She opened her mouth first, then pursed her lips, then opened her mouth again, but still said nothing. After being stunned there for a while, she said: "Actually, I think Schiller isn't an impossible candidate."

"What's wrong with Nick?" Thanos asked with some confusion. He really didn't know much. The security department basically didn't deal with the Time Variance Authority, and as for S. H. I. E. L. D., he couldn't even get in touch with it.

Loki opened her mouth again, then closed it. Mainly based on the principle that family ugliness shouldn't be made public, she still said nothing.

"Then let it be him." Thanos said: "Both great empires are humanoid organisms, so there are no taboos in terms of communication and culture. However, humans haven't participated in Interstellar Alliance work, which is indeed a problem. How about this, you have him come to the security department for training for two days."

"Better not." Loki hurriedly said: "Otherwise, you can just say to the outside world that he has already been trained. Better not let him really come."

Thanos looked at her with some confusion again. Ever since he mentioned Nick, Loki's attitude had been a bit strange, as if she wanted to say something but hoped he would understand it himself.

"Forget it." Loki only said this, but she added in her heart: "Good words are hard to persuade a ghost that should die. I hope that one day when you check the accounts of the security department, you can remember my words and deeds today and don't dump the shit pot on me."

Magneto soon brought people back.

Professor X was stunned the moment he saw him. His face changed slightly, but he said nothing. Loki observed his expression, directly waved her hand, and said to the other mutants: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Interstellar Council to watch the fun."

Others left one after another, leaving only Professor X and Magneto. Professor X then said: "Are you injured?"

Magneto remained silent.

Professor X stood up and looked at his back, saying: "You couldn't have been injured by a starship. What are you doing?"

"I was distracted." Magneto gave an explanation that couldn't be considered an explanation.

Professor X walked over with some helplessness.

Bringing everyone out in a rush, Loki breathed a sigh of relief, but Thanos was still looking at her with that confused gaze.

"You'll understand once you've been in contact with Nick. I'm too lazy to explain more." Loki thought he was still struggling with the previous question.

Thanos asked: "What is the relationship between these two mutant leaders?"

"Uh... good question." Loki bit her fingernail gently.

"You don't have to explain. I'll ask you a few questions, and you just need to answer yes or no."

"Alright."

"Are they the relationship between you and your brother?"

"No, not quite the same."

"Are they the relationship between you and Strange?"

"What relationship do I have with him?!... No."

"If one of them were the other gender among humans, would they fall in love?"

"It's not about another gender, they also... I can't explain this to you."

"I'll change the question. If they were different genders, would they get married?"

Loki thought about this question seriously, shook her head slowly, and said: "No, if they were different genders, they wouldn't get married, they..."

Loki paused and said: "They might kill each other."

This answer obviously exceeded Thanos's expectations, but he seemed to understand something, so he said: "Alright, I understand. Let's talk about Nick instead."

Loki immediately showed a bitter face. Thanos smiled and said: "Then how about we talk about Strange..."

"Why talk about him?!"

"What's wrong? Such an important character as the Sorcerer Supreme will definitely play an important role in the war between the two great empires. Why can't we talk about him?"

"Uh..."
