Chapter 3708: Doomsday (12)

"You want me to kill people from the three great empires at the banquet?!" Polaris looked at Charles with some disbelief. "But didn't you always tell me before to avoid clashing with those Skrulls? You even told me to control my temper and not always look for fights..."

"Sit down, Lorna, sit down." Charles patted Polaris's arm soothingly, letting her sit first. Polaris sat down slowly. Charles said, "The past is different from the present. We were mainly focused on construction in the Andromeda Galaxy, so naturally, we had to make a fortune in silence. Besides, your father is enough for the fighting. He has a better eye for targets than you do. Think about it carefully: every time, hasn't he plundered the most supplies with the least cost? And you?"

Polaris blushed a little. She pursed her lips, remembering how she used to watch Magneto act so majestically, so she wanted to raid fleets just like him, only to fail several times. Not only did she get injured, but she didn't bring back many supplies either. Since then, she had to admit that robbing also required skill.

Magneto, that old hand, was very good at distinguishing between soft and hard persimmons. Not only did he pick the soft ones with precision, but he also ran away immediately after picking them, never being greedy. Polaris was different; she couldn't tell which transport fleets were easy to hit and which weren't, and after the fight, she still wanted to grab more cargo, delaying her departure. Several times she was almost caught by the enemy's reinforcements, and every time she returned, she had to be scolded.

"Then what's going on this time?" Polaris said. "They didn't bring any supplies, did they? And that's in Asgard; isn't it bad to kill people on their turf?"

"You've grown up." Charles said with some gratification.

Looking at Charles's very young face, Polaris was clearly a bit awkward. She rubbed her arm and said, "If you don't want to change back before talking, then let's not discuss this, Professor. Let's talk about business: why do I have to kill people from the three great empires?"

"To make trouble out of nothing."

"Huh?"

"Simply put, Earth needs an admission ticket to participate in interstellar affairs—not as a name listed under Asgard, but to participate independently. Just like the United Nations—you know the United Nations, right?"

Polaris nodded.

"Right now, it's as if China, the US, and Russia are fighting, and we are a state within another quite powerful developed country. Now these three countries are all vying for the support of this developed country, and we also want to get involved, all for the sake of striving for independence. How do you think we should get involved?"

Polaris frowned and said, "You mean, kill the diplomatic ambassadors sent by these three countries? But isn't this a bit too extreme? Not to mention these three countries, even Asgard wouldn't allow this, right? Are we going to break up with Asgard?"

"On the contrary, Asgard will support us." Charles shook his head and said, "Although it's a mess right now, the war will end sooner or later. In the peaceful era after the war, the voting system will still be the mainstream. As a peripheral force that has long not participated in cosmic affairs, Asgard itself only has half a vote. Which of those three empires doesn't have numerous subordinates? Asgard would love to have one more vote. If possible, they would also want every race in the Nine Realms to have a vote; wouldn't that allow them to stand on equal footing with the three great empires?"

Polaris thought about it, and it seemed that was indeed the case. Now in the United Nations, the major international powers hold many votes from small countries. Even if they can't win the vote, as long as they have enough votes, they can exert sufficient pressure. Isn't that what voting is all about?

Asgard didn't care before because they had no intention of participating in interstellar affairs at all. But now that they intend to return to interstellar society, they must lobby for votes.

But how many subordinates does Asgard have? The key is, how many subordinates are actually capable? During those years when Odin was conquering, he killed almost all the notable races in the Nine Realms, and what remained were those like the Dark Elves who were incapable. Now, Asgard's only choice is humanity.

Therefore, humanity must take this opportunity to strive for an independent voting seat. Asgard will definitely support it; at least when voting in the Interstellar Council in the future, having someone vote with them won't look too bad. Other high-level civilizations besides the three great empires are like small countries on Earth, basically having only one or two votes. It wouldn't be bad for Asgard to have one and a half votes.

Polaris nodded, signaling she understood, and then she said, "But the three great empires are the three great empires after all. If we kill their people, won't they be even more opposed to us joining the United Nations?"

Charles shook his head again and said, "Lorna, think about it carefully. Among the countries in humanity's United Nations, especially the permanent members who carry significant weight, which one relied on the consent of other countries to get in? And those countries that are not permanent members, why can't they get the consent of others?"

Polaris clearly didn't have that kind of political mind; her brain was almost smoking, so she could only use her trump card, shaking Charles's arm and saying, "Don't keep me in suspense, Professor. Just say it directly; I really can't figure it out."

Now Charles was really a bit worried. These young mutants were okay in terms of combat power, but in terms of politics, they couldn't even pick a tall one among the short ones; they were simply worse than each other.

"Becoming a permanent member isn't about asking, it's about fighting." Charles said directly, "If you go and ask others if you can become a permanent member, it proves that you will never be able to become one. Because there is only one way to become a permanent member, and that is to beat everyone into submission. By then, they will be the ones begging you to be one."

"Oh—" Polaris suddenly realized, and then she said with some excitement, "So this time I'm going to cause trouble, find a pretext to start a war, and then beat everyone into submission, and we will naturally have a voting seat, right?"

"There's no need to beat everyone into submission, just beat them until they hurt." Charles spread his hands and said, "Humanity definitely can't destroy the three great empires all at once, but as long as we don't fall behind in a one-on-three fight, even if it's only temporarily not falling behind, it's enough for us to have a pivotal position in the Interstellar Council."

"It really seems to be the case." Polaris touched her chin and said, "The five permanent members in the United Nations seem to have fought many countries at the same time, and they haven't lost. As long as we can do that, the three great empires must give us face."

"Exactly." Charles smiled and nodded, "Unfortunately, humanity's past activities in the universe are still fresh in the memories of the three great empires; I'm afraid they won't take the initiative to provoke us. Then we can only create an accident to start our battle for the voting seat."

"Accident? What accident?"

"It's hard to say right now, but we can always find an opportunity." Charles said, "Don't worry, you're not the only one. Not only will the mutants actively create opportunities for you, but we also have many helpers. You are familiar with the others, but the only one to watch out for is one person, and that is the King of Latveria, Doctor Doom..."

"Haha, that guy really pissed Tony Stark off." Iceman Bobby, sitting opposite Polaris, lowered his voice and said, "I really don't know what kind of grudge the two of them have, to insist on arguing on someone else's turf."

Polaris came back to her senses, suddenly realizing something. She turned her head to look at Stark, who had stood up from the table, immediately tensed her muscles, and gave Iceman a look.

Almost in an instant, golden light and the roar of Venom reflected each other, and the huge black figure bounced twice like a marble, slamming heavily onto the desktop in front of Polaris.

Cups shattered, food splashed. If one were to press the pause button at this moment and look elsewhere, one could see the culprit, Doctor Doom, "whoosh" diving under the table, Scarlet Witch looking back in horror, superheroes fleeing in panic, and Omega-level mutants at a loss, until Polaris screamed:

"AH!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh no! She's going to lose control!!!" Wanda not only didn't stop her, but used the most precious emergency response time to shout, "Run!!!"

In an instant, the light of countless superpowers lit up, the restaurant's glass was shattered in an instant, and the diners pulled each other and ran out; in two or three seconds, they were all gone.

Steve blocked his front with his shield, jumped down from the floor, and rushed to the square in front of the palace at the fastest speed. The others also landed in various postures.

Immediately after, an electromagnetic storm swept through the palace, and visible magnetic arcs shot into the sky, shattering the main island's protective shield with a "crack." The magnetic storm spread from the gap, and the whole island began to tremble.

"Bad! The stabilization system is being interfered with!" Steve frowned and said, "Quick, let's go to the God King first!"

Just as the group was running towards the God King's bedroom in the palace, all the other civilization envoys ran out of their bedrooms with confused faces. What happened? Did the three great empires fight their way to Asgard?!

And the people from the other two empires were as if they had expected it. The Supreme Intelligence slammed the table, and all the Kree Empire soldiers ran out regardless of their lives, running straight into the Skrull Empire, who were also running for their lives.

These two old enemies had never been so happy to see each other alive as they were today—one more person is one more human shield! Don't say anything, run; the slow ones are in the front row!

These two groups of people ran towards the back garden, and the others who came out were also led by them towards the back garden. But before they could run out of the palace grounds, a white light flashed, and everyone fainted.

Don't forget, both the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire are cyborgs. What are machines most afraid of? Isn't it an EMP?

Their protection level is high, and ordinary electromagnetic storms can't do much to them, but Polaris at full power is not weak. She has been following Magneto in the Andromeda Galaxy for these years; she hasn't learned all of her father's skills, but she has learned at least eighty percent. Plus, she wasn't really out of control; by deliberately targeting them, she knocked out all the people from the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire.

The others didn't escape the disaster either; if they weren't knocked out by Polaris, they were knocked out by Wanda; anyway, everyone fainted.

And when they woke up again, they received the terrible news that twelve members of the Shi'ar Empire delegation, one of the three great empires, were dead and four were seriously injured.
