Chapter 3965
"If everyone has no objections, I will preside over this Radiance Alliance meeting from now on. I won't go into too much detail about the contradictions between the two Great Worlds; I presume everyone has already heard of them. The key points we need to discuss are mainly two: one is how to resist externally, and the other is how to guard internally."
Charles's voice was always as refreshing as a spring breeze; he began to recount the plan. Obviously, the mutants had also done their homework in this regard. The Andromeda Galaxy had been developed for a long time, and although quite good results had been achieved, the birth of four Omega-level little mutants made the originally empty and vast Andromeda Galaxy very small. If they didn't find a bigger stage for them, once these four turned into crazy teenagers together, their own universe would suffer a great deal.
"I believe we should use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses," Charles continued, "Although Batman is very smart and also very good at using schemes, his constitution is only that of an ordinary person, and he cannot even conduct space combat without external assistance. Then our focus should be on armed confrontation, especially conducting outer space combat, which can very well weaken Batman's strength."
"I have a question," Stark spoke up, "Only Batman in the Justice League is not good at space combat, and the combat power of others should not be underestimated, especially Superman. How are we going to deal with him?"
"According to my knowledge, Superman needs a yellow sun to exert his full strength, so we won't fight them in the solar system, but find a place with only a red giant, or simply no star at all. In this case, even if they can fly back to the solar system to recharge, it will delay them for a long time, and they won't be able to continuously replenish their power."
"Wonder Woman is also a big trouble," Stark continued, "Although her divine power is also limited, many Batmen in the universes have obtained a significant amount of energy. The preparation time is too short to allow them to convert this energy into any powerful weapon, so the best way is to give it to Wonder Woman. Cutting off her power won't be easy."
"Asgard will be responsible for dealing with all the gods," Loki spoke up, "Although the last battle against the Three Empires let them have a good time, the individual combat ability of the Three Empires is really too poor, and the feel of the robots isn't good enough, not comparable to carbon-based organisms fighting hand-to-hand. They have long wanted to exchange a few blows with experts."
Stark nodded and continued: "That's good, but I'm still a bit worried. If Thor from other universes also comes over, will they cause any trouble on your side?"
"Rest assured, since the last battle, Odin hasn't returned to Vanaheim but has stayed behind. No Thor dares to be presumptuous in front of the All-Father. And with Odin, it can also prevent Batman's side from playing cards like Zeus."
"The duel between the two God-Kings is quite worth watching," Schiller laughed and said, "Although Zeus might not come, Shazam will definitely come. Lightning against lightning, who will win?"
"Can Zeus's divine power still be transmitted across universes to Shazam?" Stark said with some surprise.
"Isn't the open energy exchange system already here? They are fighting on away ground after all, so it's nothing to let them exchange some; this is fair. Of course, whether Zeus is willing to give so much at once is not something we can control."
"What about Flash?" Stark asked, "Can his Speed Force be used here? Does it also have such a powerful effect of reversing time?"
"Specific data is not yet clear," Schiller shook his head and said, "When the battle truly starts, the administrators of both sides will be present. They should install plugins for both sides' abilities in our universe, allowing everyone's abilities to be used, and if any problems arise, they can be solved immediately."
Loki laughed and said: "It looks like a great battle between superheroes of both sides, but in reality, it's a race against time for the programmers of both sides. With so many data exchanges, I don't know if our universe can hold up."
"If it can't hold up and restarts, we can still get a sum of compensation and damages; anyway, we won't lose out." Schiller shrugged and said.
"Fine, let me think. Green Lantern can also bring energy over; his ability isn't outstanding, but it's very comprehensive."
"Green Lantern energy's mimicry ability is very powerful, and can also create spaceships and the like, so we can fight interstellar wars with them," Schiller said, "We will bring out spaceships on our side, and the other side will definitely have to bring them out too. But building them on the spot is definitely too late, and moving them over is too much effort; using Green Lantern energy to simulate them is the best, which can very well consume their Green Lantern energy."
"Have our warships been put into use?" Stark asked.
"Yes, the latest batch of escort fleets has expanded to about 120 frigates, and they are all currently docked at the Neptune Starport. If necessary, they can set out at any time. Of course, there are also some ships from the Three Empires, which can be used after some repairs. The recruitment of talent for space work is also going very smoothly; after all, the physical fitness of ordinary people is much stronger, and they can hold on for several minutes even in a vacuum environment, so space combat is not a problem."
"Let me think, who else is in the Justice League... oh, that one called J'onn, what was his ability again?"
"Telepathy," Charles smiled and said.
Stark stopped talking immediately, paused for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "You'd better not use the Cerebro; if you really cause some harm to the other party, Batman will definitely settle the score later."
"I have a sense of proportion, rest assured." Charles said.
"You certainly have a sense of proportion, Magneto might not," Stark curled his lips and said, "You must instruct him not to go crazy."
"The Magneto of our universe is already stable enough," Charles sighed and said, "What gives me a headache is how to guard against those from other universes; this is the main content of the second part, internal defense."
"What do you plan to do?" Loki asked.
Charles shook his head without going into detail. However, he had always been reliable in major matters, and would never drop the ball on such critical issues; he had his own reasons for not saying, so the others didn't pursue it further.
"Cyborg is a hacker; Jarvis should be able to handle him. However, the Cyborgs of some universes will carry Mother Boxes, and the power of that thing is quite large, so we need to pay extra attention." Schiller said.
"What about the mages?" Loki said, "I remember there is also a Mage Alliance over there, right? Although they are all quite poor, there should be a few experts. And they don't need to prepare any energy; they can just kill on the spot in the universe, which is also worth noting."
"Pay extra attention to that one called Constantine," Stark gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let minors go to the battlefield. Good-looking minors are absolutely not allowed to approach the opposite base... adults aren't allowed either!"
There were actually very few Constantines in Battleworld, and he was elusive; it seemed only Schiller and Stark had come into contact with him, and the others didn't know why Stark had such a reaction.
"Zatanna's backward magic definitely can't be used, which makes things much easier," Schiller said. His tone was very certain, but he didn't explain too much. Everyone knew that backward magic shouldn't be some kind of universe setting; otherwise, it could be modified by the administrator. Since it couldn't be used, it meant this matter wasn't under the administrator's jurisdiction.
Schiller actually wasn't sure if the administrator could load this plugin, but if the source of Zatanna's power, the Upside-Down Man, didn't come over, even with the plugin, there would be no energy, just like a computer with a program written but not plugged in, which would also be of no use.
As for releasing the Upside-Down Man for the sake of this great battle, let alone whether Batman would agree, Zatanna herself wouldn't agree; even if not for the sake of universal peace, she certainly wouldn't want her creditor chasing after her.
"The Bat-family will also come to help," Schiller continued, "Most of the Robins don't have much of a threat; we can let Spider-Man exchange a few blows with them. But there is one more person worth noting."
"Who?"
"Darkseid."
"Darkseid? Isn't that guy Batman's enemy?" Stark asked with some surprise.
"However, it's not that they cannot cooperate; for example, the Main Universe Batman previously worked with Darkseid to take down Oa. This time, Darkseid might also choose to get involved; he is not that easy to deal with."
"Who exactly is he?" Stark asked with a frown. He had only heard of this name; not only had he never seen him, but he also didn't understand his deeds at all.
"You know Thanos, right? Not the Thanos of our universe, but that evil Titan from other universes," Schiller explained, "Darkseid is much stronger than Thanos; he is almost invincible on Apokolips, and he also has an endless army of Parademons. Although he might not bring them over, just by himself, he also possesses considerable combat power."
"Leave it to the mutants," Charles said, "Wanda has to take care of the children, so she will stay behind to protect Earth this time. But Polaris, Quicksilver, and Iceman also have quite a bit of combat experience, as well as Legion and his personalities. If it really doesn't work, there's still the future Franklin."
"That would be overkill," Schiller shook his head and said, "Unless Darkseid really intends to bring Apokolips over, the young mutants should be able to hold him off. At worst, we can invite our interstellar security consultant—oh, Thanos is now a councilor of the Interstellar Alliance."
"Looking at it this way, relying on ourselves alone, it's not that we can't resist the offensive from the opposite side. Although it would be easier with the help of other superheroes from the multiverse, it's just a difference in the price we pay."
"This is exactly what I want to say," Charles spoke up, "How much we pay and how much the multiverse pays can be negotiated. Because we don't need the full support of the multiverse, and the less we ask for, the greater the favor the multiverse owes us. But if we ask for too little and pay too much ourselves, it's also a loss. We need to find a balance in this to maximize our gains."
"Leave professional matters to professional people," Schiller stood up from his chair and said, "S. H. I. E. L. D. has already notified the convening of a global superhuman power conference, and we all have to attend. By then, there will be experts conducting comprehensive data analysis, and we just need to listen."
After leaving the Radiance Alliance base, the notification for the conference was indeed received very soon, and the location was the United Nations Security Council chamber. Because of the unstoppable trend of globalization, this had become the busiest department, adjusting conflicts of all sizes every day, and global superhuman powers were also under their jurisdiction.
The last time Earth went to the universe to play billiards, the leaders of ordinary human society gathered here to make decisions. This world invasion was obviously the same. When Schiller and Stark walked in one after another, the ordinary people passing by didn't have any panic on their faces; everyone was discussing in low voices, looking as if they were accustomed to it.
"Thanks to you, they have become completely desensitized to this kind of thing," Stark looked back at the ordinary people who brushed past him and said, "They aren't even surprised by the multiverse and another Great World, accepting all of this without a ripple."
"This was never a strange thing to begin with. However, their courage is indeed commendable for not feeling panic about the invasion of other worlds." Schiller nodded and praised without stinting.
