Chapter 4153: Yes, Sorcerer Supreme (IV)

In the meditation room of Kamar-Taj, Strange was changing his clothes. Because the three major empires in the universe are humanoid creatures, to be precise, most high-level civilizations are humanoid creatures, so they also have standard formal wear similar to human suits. And very coincidentally, it is very similar to human suits, but it actually comes from the military uniforms of the two major mechanical empires, so it is more gorgeous than ordinary suits. Generally, there are ribbons on the left chest and badges on the right chest. The tailoring is stiff, which makes people look full of solemn temperament.

In the universe, this type of clothing is generally called "Imperial Wear". However, even if it is not a member of the three major empires, it will be regarded as formal wear for important occasions, which is an unwritten etiquette in the universe.

Among them, the Shi'ar Empire prefers gorgeous colors, generally using bright red or bright blue as the base, then using gold or silver ribbons, and the belt will also use shiny fabrics, and a large gemstone must be embedded in the center.

The Skrull Empire and the Kree Empire are much more low-key. They prefer old-school clothing, mostly black and dark blue, and only white is used for very important and serious occasions. Ribbons generally use colors in the same color system as the clothes, and only some unobtrusive metal decorations are used on the belt.

And there are some differences between these two empires. When the two countries appear at the same time, the Skrull Empire will choose warm colors, and the Kree Empire will choose cold colors, which can distinguish the two countries very well.

Of course, you can also choose to wear your own national clothing. For example, when Asgard participates in interstellar meetings, they never wear any Imperial Wear. Either they wear traditional Asgard clothing, or they wear human suits.

In fact, because human superheroes and mutants love to wear tights, many aliens have stereotypes about humans. They think all humans wear tights. However, with the expansion of human activities in the universe, of course, many people know that they have normal clothes. Especially with humanity defeating the three major empires, and Jarvis making the network hegemony of the three major empires no longer exist, humanity is becoming more and more popular on the interstellar Internet, and many aliens are becoming more and more understanding of humanity.

Although Strange also has a set of Imperial Wear, he decided that when participating in the election, he would still wear the clothes of the Sorcerer Supreme, and it was the skin he wore most often and most classically.

There is no way, even if it is just a formality, the battle of wits he will face will not be less. Dressing as the Sorcerer Supreme can at least let the other party weigh it. If he is really annoyed, the person standing here is not the prospective Speaker, but the Sorcerer Supreme.

Strange adjusted his collar in front of the mirror, but the cloak was a bit restless, swinging back and forth behind him. Strange hurriedly pressed the cloak down, then lowered his voice and said: "Behave yourself, it's a serious occasion later, don't fly around, affecting my performance."

The cloak pulled Strange backward hard, Strange shook his head helplessly and said: "No way, even if I don't want to go, I have to. The beginning is the most difficult, it will be much better after a while. Besides, isn't there Shiler?"

The cloak also looked very helpless, folding the two sides of the robe together in mid-air, posing in a cross-legged posture, shaking the collar, looking like shaking its head.

"Alright, come down quickly. It's almost time, get ready to set off."

Strange waved at the cloak. The cloak flew down and hung on his neck. He passed through the portal and came to a bright hall. This is the headquarters of the Interstellar Council, located in the central Twelve Stars of the ring area.

This is a very special star area. Twelve artificial planets are connected together by a shield system, with nine in the outer circle and three in the inner circle. These three planets can be understood as the Council Building, the Standing Building, and the Military Building.

The election is held on the Council Star. Strange is on the planet used for reception among the outer planets. Seeing him come, the Shi'ar Empire staff responsible for reception was very surprised.

"Oh, Mr. Sorcerer Supreme, didn't you come by spaceship?"

Strange looked at him like a fool, and said: "I can open a portal directly from Kamar-Taj to here, why should I bump around on a spaceship for half a day?"

"This..." The other party seemed a bit speechless. He tidied up the feathers by his head, then said, "Mainly because the candidates in the past would drive spaceships directly to the Council Star. This belongs to the election tradition. I'm not sure if it would be a bit too shocking if you directly open a portal and come in."

Strange sighed in his heart. If you use humans to make an analogy, it's probably that the normal diplomatic process is to take a car after getting off the plane and visit the Capitol Building, etc., while Strange is equivalent to directly driving the plane to the roof of the Capitol Building, and he drove it himself. He can go, but it's just a bit too shocking.

Human portal technology is unique, and the Sorcerer Supreme's portal is even more superb, but in the eyes of other civilizations, this kind of portal technology is basically for military use. You open a portal directly to someone's face, which is no different from declaring war.

"Prepare a spaceship for me." Strange said.

The Shi'ar Empire staff obviously breathed a sigh of relief, a smile immediately appeared on his face, then said: "Yes, Sorcerer Supreme, we will prepare the most luxurious private spaceship for you immediately."

Not long after, a small spaceship stopped at the port of the outer planet. Strange walked in and found that the interior was indeed quite luxurious. It looked like a spaceship from inside the Shi'ar Empire, full of rich bird decoration style, with feather patterns everywhere.

The planets in this star area are very close to each other, and Strange arrived almost as soon as he got on the ship. When he walked off the ship, the reception staff also looked very surprised.

"Oh, Your Excellency Sorcerer Supreme, we thought you would teleport directly. The spaceship is not bad, did you buy it new?"

"I wanted to teleport, but the people at the reception desk dissuaded me. I thought that many big shots would come today, so it's better not to scare them." Although Strange performed very understandingly, in fact, his tone was full of coldness and sarcasm, sounding like "If this can scare you, you might as well find a piece of tofu and hit yourself to death."

The reception staff wiped his sweat and led Strange inside. After passing through a corridor, they came to an exceptionally wide hall. The entire hall was spherical, with countless seats floating in mid-air. The reception staff waved his hand, and the seat belonging to Strange also floated over.

Strange is not a fool, he didn't walk onto that floating seat, but waved his hand and said to the reception staff behind him: "Where is my position?"

The reception staff pointed it out to him and wanted to say something else, but Strange had already flown over by himself.

After flying to the place, he sat cross-legged in mid-air, closed his eyes and began to meditate, looking unfathomable.

In fact, there were already many people in the hall, and when Strange came, everyone was paying attention to him. Some whispered, some discussed blatantly, obviously everyone had expected the Speaker candidate.

However, Strange took out the style of the Sorcerer Supreme, and others didn't dare to say anything more, and even the discussion sound became much smaller.

Humans haven't appeared in the council many times. This is not because humans can't come, nor because the council doesn't let them come. It is mainly because there are too few humans who can be reasonable enough to sit down at the council and talk to the victims properly.

About a thousand years ago, Ancient One came once. Of course, it was not because of the joint complaints of the demon gods, nor because she had too much property of the three major empires affected during the fight, but because they encountered a magic-related accident at that time and invited Ancient One to be an expert consultant.

Professor X also came once before, but it was not because Magneto robbed the fleet for a month, nor because mutants forcibly occupied the mining of colonies under the three major empires, but because a special binary star system was approaching the ring star area at a very high speed. In order to ensure that their political center would not be destroyed, the three major empires specially invited Magneto to adjust the magnetic field of the ring star area.

As for those who wanted to sue humans, those who encountered human attacks and wanted to ask the three major empires to make decisions, and those who wanted to put pressure on humans in the interstellar political field, basically failed to invite humans here. In the era when Ancient One debuted, the three major empires already understood that helping any civilization under their rule to find trouble with humans was an absolute losing business, so they wouldn't do such stupid things.

Therefore, seeing Strange sitting there, many people felt a bit strange. They flipped through their history and genealogy, and they could always find some scenes of being persecuted by humans. Then, since the other party has already come, they should also come to a tearful accusation, letting many interstellar civilizations know how aggrieved they are.

But looking up at their own life bars, and the attack power of the Sorcerer Supreme sitting in the center, they swallowed the grievance back. Mainly, there were really too many aggrieved people. If they accused one by one, this meeting would have to be held until next year, but if they cried together, the scene would inevitably be a bit ridiculous.

So everyone chose to remain silent and let the past go with the wind. As old-school civilizations in the interstellar space, they really didn't need to care about such greenhorns.

But at the same time, letting go of the past doesn't mean they really don't care. You humans squat in the primitive forest like savages, we naturally can't do anything about you, but aren't you throwing yourself into the net now? Then if something happens, you can't blame us.

Politics everywhere is the same. There are no fools who can sit in this position, but they are more shrewd than each other. They know very well that force is indeed the backing of all political means. If you don't want to integrate into interstellar society, like Asgard before, then no one can do anything about you; but if you care about interstellar appearance and want to have both benefits and reputation, then relying too much on force sometimes not only fails to bring benefits, but will be counterproductive and accelerate destruction.

They waited for so many years and finally waited for humanity to enter the game. If they don't grasp this opportunity well, they are really sorry for their ancestors.

No matter what, the election was held as scheduled. A Skrull wearing Imperial Wear walked to the center of the conference hall. His voice was translated into thousands of languages of civilizations and echoed in the ears of every participant, including Strange.

After about half an hour of nonsense, the election finally entered the main topic. First, the representatives of the participating civilizations voted by show of hands, then the councilors in the seat voted, and then the three major empires audited. These three steps are more important than the other.

After all, there are hundreds of candidates here, all from different civilizations. When the representatives of the civilizations vote, you can clearly see the number of supporters behind each candidate, and you can also roughly understand their reputation. Those who are too unknown will be eliminated in this round.

This, of course, does not include Strange. Not to mention that his name as the Sorcerer Supreme resounds through the universe, many civilizations under the three major empires raised their hands. The position of Speaker was originally prepared for him, and the three major empires would definitely arrange it in advance. ===== CHAPTER 4154 =====
