Ch: 201-210
Chapter 201: Lady Hachi
When Arthur saw Miranda again.
She had changed her clothes.
She was no longer wearing that feathered sweater, but had changed into an evening gown, perfectly showcasing her mature charm.
She had also put on a little makeup and styled her long hair, looking like a noblewoman.
Ada Wong scoffed as soon as she saw this, "She wants to steal your heart."
Arthur glanced at her and said, amused, "She's not as beautiful as you."
"Hmph."
Then, he stood up and shook hands with Miranda.
"Esteemed Mr. Li, I have asked my residents to come and meet you."
Miranda said with a smile.
"Alright."
Arthur nodded.
The made-up Miranda was radiant; her features were originally quite gentle.
If it weren't for her obsession, she could have done so much more.
But it was precisely because she wanted to resurrect her daughter, who had been dead for nearly a hundred years, that she became this deeply obsessed version of herself.
It was also due to a century of various research that her skill level reached a very high point.
Arthur hoped she would use it for good.
Of course, it was also mainly due to the checks and balances of this World.
He couldn't fully trust Excella alone.
Power needs checks and balances.
Arthur and Miranda chatted continuously.
Soon, a small doll walked in.
"Wow, why are there other people here?"
The doll's style was eerie, like 'Annabelle' from the horror movies Arthur had watched before.
It was even more frightening than Annabelle.
This was Donna Beneviento, one of Miranda's Four Lords.
She was the last member of the Beneviento family; after her parents passed away, she became like this.
She was a puppeteer, and the doll appearing here was Angie, whom she controlled.
And she herself always wore black clothes reminiscent of mourning attire.
After the doll entered, she herself also walked in, looking very withdrawn.
"Donna, this is Mr. Li."
Mother Miranda said with a smile, seeming to be in a very good mood.
She was already prepared to cooperate with Arthur .
Because the resources of this village were too scarce.
To complete the experiment, a continuous supply of resources was naturally needed.
And Arthur also needed other resources.
The two could be said to have hit it off instantly.
Donna came in and glanced at Arthur .
She wore a black veil over her head, covering much of her face.
But Arthur 's gaze passed directly through, seeing an astonishingly deformed scar on Donna's face.
It was precisely because of this condition that she suffered from mental illness.
And in such a backward place, treatment was naturally impossible.
So Miranda adopted her as a foster daughter and gave her 'gifts'.
Which was to conduct experiments.
These 'gifts', which gave them extraordinary power, were actually derived from researching the Cadou.
All Four Lords had 'gifts', thus appearing different from mortals.
Donna shared a part of her 'gift' with the doll Angie, allowing her to control it at will and even chat.
"Mother, who are they?"
Donna immediately asked, controlling the doll Angie.
This doll named Angie was even more terrifying than Annabelle, dressed like a bride, but extremely frightening.
Speaking now, it appeared even more sinister.
Ada Wong even felt a little uncomfortable.
"They are our friends."
Miranda explained.
"Mr. Li."
So, Donna controlled Angie and said.
"Donna, hello."
Arthur replied.
"Please call me Angie."
The doll Angie stared at him and said, while Donna sat in her seat, head bowed and motionless.
It seemed she was fully concentrating on controlling the doll.
"Okay, Angie."
After that, Donna became very quiet.
She just sat there, holding her doll, listening to them chat.
Soon, another 'huge' figure arrived.
Arthur looked over curiously.
This was an extremely mature woman with a voluptuous and tall figure, seemingly twice as tall as a normal person.
Her complexion was pale, she had long black hair, wore red lipstick, a white evening gown, and a wide-brimmed hat.
She looked even more like a noblewoman than Mother Miranda.
"This is Alcina Dimitrescu."
Mother Miranda introduced.
Arthur naturally knew that this was 'Lady Eight Feet', the mistress of the Dimitrescu family.
"Mother, who is this gentleman?"
Lady Eight Feet looked at Arthur and Ada Wong curiously.
She could naturally tell that Arthur , the man, was the dominant one.
She had some disdain for men, so she asked.
Mother Miranda immediately said, "This is Mr. Li; you must respect him as you respect me."
"Yes."
"Alright."
Both replied.
Then, Mother Miranda said irritably, "Why haven't the other two idiots arrived yet?"
Lady Eight Feet laughed indifferently, "Salvatore must live far away, so he's slow to arrive."
"Karl Heisenberg..."
Hearing her words, Mother Miranda was very angry.
Salvatore Moreau looked like a merman; because he was very ugly, although he was loyal to Mother Miranda.
But Mother Miranda didn't like him, so she made him live in the reservoir, out of sight, out of mind.
Of course, his loyalty was unquestionable; he always just wanted to gain Miranda's approval.
As for Karl Heisenberg, he had ambitions and wanted to defy Miranda.
He was also the most dangerous existence among the Four Lords, secretly wanting to overthrow Miranda.
Miranda actually knew this long ago, but she didn't care; the other party's strength was all 'gifts' she bestowed, so what was there to worry about?
Facts proved this to be true.
Then, Salvatore Moreau arrived.
After a long while, Karl Heisenberg finally arrived.
He seemed to be doing it on purpose.
As soon as he came in, he even started arguing with Lady Eight Feet.
Lady Eight Feet sneered, "Mother, he deliberately came so late."
"Yes, I'm just dying to see your three daughters."
"Damn it, you bastard!"
"..."
The two immediately started arguing.
"Enough!"
Mother Miranda reprimanded.
"In front of Mr. Li, who told you to be so arrogant."
Hearing this, Karl Heisenberg looked at Arthur and Ada Wong, who were seated at the head.
Ada Wong sat with her legs crossed, watching these backward barbarians as if watching a play.
Karl Heisenberg was dressed very retro, wearing a hat and carrying a giant hammer.
"Mother, who are they?"
He asked curiously.
"This is Mr. Li, whom you must respect."
Mother Miranda said.
"Respect? Why should I respect him?"
Karl Heisenberg deliberately acted like a reckless brute.
He was challenging Miranda's authority.
This made Miranda a little angry, and she immediately stood up, "It seems my benevolence has made you disobedient."
At this moment, Miranda was not wearing the clothes symbolizing authority, but she still made them afraid.
Chapter 202: Curiosity
It proved that authority is not bestowed by a certain garment.
It is truly bestowed by one's own strength.
Karl Heisenberg didn't expect Mother Miranda to react so strongly.
In an instant, he was directly sent flying by Miranda.
Seeing this big guy fly backward.
Lady Dimitrescu burst into laughter, clapping her hands and exclaiming, "Mother, you should teach him a lesson like that, to make him respect you more."
Karl Heisenberg seemed to feel he had lost face and wanted to erupt in rage.
But upon seeing Mother Miranda's icy gaze, he immediately sobered up.
He was no match for Miranda.
So, he quickly continued to endure, lowering his head.
Arthur , seeing this, said, "Miranda, it seems your methods aren't very clever; you can't even control a mad dog."
"After raising a dog for so many years, it knows who its Master is."
Hearing Arthur 's words, Mother Miranda felt a bit awkward.
She hadn't cared about these things before, but now it seemed she had let them be too presumptuous.
"Mr. Li is right, some dogs just need to be disciplined."
Immediately, Miranda also nodded and said.
This made Karl Heisenberg even more furious; he was not a dog.
But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't erupt and could only walk over, bowing his head to apologize.
"Mother, My Lord..."
With his head down, one could almost imagine him gritting his teeth.
Afterward, Arthur and Miranda didn't even look at him.
They just waved their hands.
Seeing everyone assembled, Mother Miranda said, "Next, I will go to the U.S. and don't know when I will return."
"Mother, why did you suddenly decide to leave?"
Lady Dimitrescu was the most surprised.
"Mr. Li and I have something to do."
Miranda said with a smile, "We will take control of this World, and you, if you are smart, will know how to choose."
This surprised everyone a bit, and Lady Dimitrescu looked at Arthur in shock.
She really couldn't see what ability Arthur had to control the World.
But Arthur naturally didn't need to show them.
He wasn't performing tricks, after all.
"Mother! Don't abandon us!"
The most loyal and also the ugliest, Salvatore, immediately said.
He truly regarded Miranda as a mother.
Miranda immediately said, "It's not that I'm not coming back."
"It's just that when I'm not here, you must make things easy for me, otherwise..."
As she spoke, she coldly glanced at Karl Heisenberg.
Arthur was right; a dog raised for so many years would probably know to be loyal.
However, Karl Heisenberg did not know this.
This made the other party's heart skip a beat, knowing that Mother Miranda had her eye on him.
Thus, he resented Arthur in his heart.
At this moment, Lady Dimitrescu asked, "Mother, do you need our help?"
Mother Miranda did not reply directly but turned to look at Arthur .
Arthur immediately nodded and said, "Of course, the more people the better."
He needed manpower to control this World.
Of course, the main thing was to acquire resources.
This World produced resources, and Arthur and his team could give them some high-tech equipment and technology.
Of course, it would be given to the entire World, with China receiving a bit more emphasis.
But that was all.
The Resident Evil World could not obtain as many benefits as the previous Worlds.
In fact, Arthur now felt that the Monster World and the Pacific Rim World had made a huge profit.
Arthur should have made more demands.
For example... to establish an empire spanning across all the Heavens?
After all, who doesn't want to be an Emperor?
In Star Wars, there was the Galactic Empire, and Palpatine was the Emperor of the Empire.
And there was that Emperor sitting on the golden toilet... Mother Miranda didn't know Arthur 's thoughts, but she said happily, "Achena, do you want to come with me?"
"My three daughters and I are all willing; they have always wanted to see the outside World."
Lady Dimitrescu immediately replied.
Her body was too enormous; anyone facing her would probably feel like a toothpick... So, normally, she didn't dare to leave her castle.
In this place, no one said anything, but the outside World would certainly care.
However, her three 'daughters' all wanted to see the outside World.
Although these three daughters were not born to her, but were created through research, she truly regarded them as members of the Dimitrescu family.
Speaking of which, these families were quite tragic, basically only these few people were left.
Lady Dimitrescu even had her daughters created.
Donna and the others were even more alone.
But Arthur wasn't interested in these; he only needed capable people who were loyal to him.
And he didn't know anyone else in this World; the protagonists were naturally unsuitable.
Would someone too righteous choose to exchange large amounts of resources for high technology?
Only people like Mother Miranda wouldn't care about this World.
And Excella, she didn't care either.
Their commonality was ambition, and they wouldn't care about other interests.
"Mother, I want to go too."
The ugliest, Salvatore, spoke again.
Mother Miranda looked disgusted and said, "No, you have to stay here."
"This is a very important task, to prevent some dogs from having ulterior motives."
This made Salvatore very happy.
Guarding the home didn't seem bad either.
So he immediately expressed his loyalty: "Mother, don't worry, I am the most loyal dog; if other dogs aren't serious, I'll bite them."
He glared viciously at Karl Heisenberg.
Everyone knew Karl Heisenberg had ulterior motives.
So, Mother Miranda arranged the affairs here properly.
After all, no matter what, this was just a village.
Including the villagers, there were only a few hundred people... Among them, the doll maker Donna didn't speak.
She had her own'spiritual World,' regardless of the outside World.
Moreover, she was originally an autistic patient and would even less think about going out.
She only wanted to hide in her castle, guarding her small plot of land.
For her, she had already regarded the doll Angie as a friend, and a living person.
Other than that, she didn't need any other friends.
So, Mother Miranda let them all leave.
Lady Dimitrescu was the happiest, immediately twisting her huge body and departing.
"You wouldn't like this, would you?"
At this moment, Ada Wong looked at Arthur with a disgusted expression.
"What the hell?"
Arthur twitched the corner of his mouth.
He just glanced at Lady Dimitrescu's back; he had to admit, it was indeed large.
Even the so-called Kardashian family, even if they had a hundred more surgeries and used even larger implants, wouldn't be as big as Lady Dimitrescu.
Perhaps, this was talent.
After all, to be that big, one must first have such a large frame, such a large physique.
Otherwise, such an effect simply couldn't be achieved.
And this visual impact, one only knew it by seeing it.
Arthur even wanted to get a fly swatter... He had to say, this was probably a kind of exoticism.
Chapter 203 Three Daughters
Before leaving, Mother Miranda brought Arthur to a tree hollow.
Inside, it was completely filled with megamycete.
The megamycete is an ancient organism with its own consciousness and a spiritual space.
The consciousness of all who die in the megamycete is absorbed by it.
That's why Mother Miranda always believed her daughter was still alive.
As long as there is a carrier, the consciousness can be brought out.
But obviously, this is very difficult to achieve, almost impossible.
Dead means dead.
Moreover, what is left is not consciousness; to be precise, it is the memories formed after the megamycete absorbed them.
And after a long time, the megamycete itself will give up.
For the megamycete, this is nothing.
Miranda, on the other hand, had nothing else to do and developed an obsession.
Arthur entered the megamycete's spiritual space, where there were many people, and Miranda saw her daughter.
But obviously, the megamycete's consciousness is not like that of humans; Arthur could not see it.
But this was already magical enough.
Like the stairway of the sun, the megamycete can grant longevity.
For example, Mother Miranda has lived for over a hundred years.
But she still looks like a noblewoman.
Moreover, Miranda can autonomously change her appearance.
If it were an ordinary person, they might also want to gain the power of the megamycete.
But Arthur and his team are already researching something even more potent than the Super Soldier Serum.
They are trying to improve human physical qualities, strength, speed, etc., without side effects, and also pursuing longevity.
If this can be achieved, they would basically be considered 'Superman'.
Arthur witnessed the marvel of the megamycete.
He also planned to take some megamycete with him for Alexia and her team to research.
Afterward, they prepared to leave this place.
Even Ada Wong found it boring here.
So she often disappeared from Arthur 's sight, wandering around the village.
She also discovered some things.
For example, that mysterious Duke.
Ada Wong even checked the Duke's inventory to see what he had.
Then she complained to Arthur , "The weapons this person sells are all outdated, what's the use?"
"Does he intend to kill the people here with these things?"
"Perhaps?"
Arthur said casually.
At this moment, Lady Dimitrescu came over with her three daughters.
The eldest daughter, Bela Dimitrescu, the second daughter, Cassandra Dimitrescu, and the third daughter, Daniela Dimitrescu.
The three daughters looked almost identical, making them difficult to distinguish.
All three are mutants with flaws.
For example, they are afraid of ice; freezing cold air would turn them into ice, which could then be shattered.
In the game, Ethan killed them this way.
At this time, the three daughters looked at Arthur with great curiosity; if Lady Dimitrescu wasn't watching them, they would probably have pounced on him.
"Sister, sister, look at this human, he's so handsome."
"Now is not the time to be infatuated; I'm just curious what his blood tastes like."
"Mmm, I really want to suck him."
The three daughters were like maniacs.
But this is also normal.
Their entire lives have been spent in Lady Dimitrescu's castle, with a few servants attending to them, and that was all.
However, with Mother Miranda and Lady Dimitrescu present, the three dared not be presumptuous.
They just followed along as they left this place.
Their weakness is not an issue in the U.S.
Especially in California.
California's temperatures are high year-round, and it's also dry.
And because water resources are privatized, there are wildfires every year, which can be said to have become an annual tradition.
If there isn't a wildfire, people will feel like something is missing.
Some even suspect that these fires are set by California firefighters themselves.
This possibility is also very high.
Because if there are no wildfires, firefighters might lose their jobs.
And to prevent this, California's fire department must be fully staffed year-round.
Anyone who dares to lay off staff will face wildfires.
It can only be said that this is very capitalistic.
They took a private jet directly to the U.S.
Not to mention the three daughters, even Lady Dimitrescu was leaving home for the first time.
Her enormous body was uncomfortable on the plane; she occupied three seats, but her legs couldn't stretch out, so she had to lie diagonally, extending her long legs.
So, her daughters chattered excitedly, looking out the window and discussing what they saw.
The entire cabin was filled with their bird-like chirping.
Mother Miranda sat next to Arthur , discussing the U.S. with him.
She was also a bit nervous.
Can this really be done? What if it's fake?
However, the answer was revealed very quickly.
When the plane landed, many people were waiting for them.
In the very center, radiant and striking, was naturally Excella Gionne.
Seeing Arthur , she immediately jogged over: "Mr. Li, you're back."
"This is Excella, and this is Miranda."
Arthur introduced the two women.
Subsequently, both women exchanged pleasantries.
Excella saw Lady Dimitrescu.
Her three daughters were fine; she had told them not to be too scary, otherwise their blood-stained mouths would frighten people.
But Lady Dimitrescu couldn't help it.
Standing next to Excella, she looked twice Excella's size.
This terrifying physique immediately made people think of certain scenarios… many men present likely wanted to try.
Fortunately, they didn't stay long, or Lady Dimitrescu would have gotten annoyed.
Excella immediately came over and linked arms with Arthur , then walked out with him.
Clearly, this was to display her status.
Ada Wong showed no reaction, but Mother Miranda moved closer to Arthur .
This made Ada Wong look over in surprise.
At this moment, she realized her luck.
She didn't have to fawn over Arthur to have such a good life.
In fact, she didn't know why Arthur valued her so much.
At first, she thought it was her beauty.
As an Agent, she didn't refuse.
But Arthur hadn't done anything to her, as if he had truly only 'collected' her.
Ada Wong's thoughts were correct.
Arthur 's mindset was truly like playing a game.
Gamers all want to draw SSR cards and like to collect all the 'illustrations'.
Arthur was the same; as a female protagonist from a game, Ada Wong, he naturally wanted to collect her.
But after collecting her, he realized it was difficult to do much.
Even Chun Li and Cammy, he didn't have time to do anything with them.
Therefore, it really felt like just unlocking an illustration.
That night, Arthur 's door was opened.
A figure could be seen walking in.
Arthur guessed it might be Excella, but it turned out to be Mother Miranda.
"I think the previous experiment was unreliable."
"How about we have another one?"
Hearing Miranda's words, Arthur twitched the corner of his mouth.
Chapter 204 Competing with each other
Mother Miranda's idea was not a whim.
Rather, it was based on what she witnessed today in America.
This place was truly too bizarre.
These people were like puppets, allowing Arthur and the woman named Excella to do whatever they pleased.
Whatever they wanted, these people would offer everything they had to satisfy them.
This also made Mother Miranda realize that Arthur was too powerful; even the megamycete probably couldn't do anything to him.
So she suddenly thought, wouldn't it be better if she had another daughter?
However, what Arthur didn't expect was that after a while, there was another knock on the door.
He quickly had Miranda hide.
Opening the door, he saw it was Excella.
This proud woman stood outside the door, looking somewhat shy.
Coming over so late, anyone would know what was going on.
"Excella? Why are you here?"
At any other time, Arthur would naturally be happy.
But now... Excella directly asked, "May I come in?"
"So late, isn't it inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? You are my Master."
Excella said very proactively.
She directly pushed Arthur inside.
Soon, Miranda couldn't take it anymore.
She shouldn't be under the car.
So she walked out... Excella and Miranda were not harmonious; instead, they had a strong sense of rivalry.
Arthur , however, was pleased with this.
He certainly didn't wish for his subordinates to be overly harmonious.
That wasn't good for those in power, and it wasn't very likely either.
This was basically impossible.
Everyone had their own interests.
Just like Excella and Miranda, after learning about Arthur 's affairs and the existence of so many other Universes.
They both wanted to be the queen of this World.
Although this queen would be subservient to Arthur , she could at least be second only to him and above everyone else.
Moreover, Arthur couldn't always be here.
Therefore, the competition between the two was inevitable.
But it hadn't reached an irreconcilable point.
If it ever came to a life-or-death situation, Arthur wouldn't ignore it.
It could only be said that everything was under control.
Thus, Arthur brought Miranda and Excella to the Heavenly Palace.
Seeing this city, which was undergoing massive construction, Excella and Miranda immediately knew what they needed to do for Arthur .
That was to help him acquire resources to build this World.
And it had to be a continuous supply of resources.
The resources required to build a World were undoubtedly astonishing.
But neither of them found anything amiss.
Because they had obtained permanent residency in the Heavenly Palace.
In this city built by the Kryptonians.
Only a select few could permanently reside here.
These were basically people close to Arthur , including the Kryptonians themselves.
The Kryptonians were building this place as if it were their own home.
However, they still hadn't solved one problem.
That was the reproduction of Kryptonians.
The so-called Kryptonian Codex was with Supergirl Kara Zor-El.
If Kara didn't agree, they couldn't retrieve the Codex.
Kara naturally wouldn't agree.
It was they who cruelly killed Kal-El, causing Superman to die before he even had a chance to grow up.
Although this was General Zod's order, they still carried it out.
Therefore, Sub-Commander Fiora also had no solution.
She could only discuss the most primitive forms of life with Arthur whenever she had time, hoping to naturally conceive a Kryptonian child.
However, for some unknown reason, even though Arthur and Fiora were very 'diligent'.
There had been no progress, no signs of improvement.
Fiora could see her own belly.
She used her Super-Vision to penetrate, but the results were disappointing.
Arthur also had some doubts about this.
He had asked Alexia before.
Alexia then said, "This might be a problem of life-level; the higher a creature's life-level, the harder it naturally is to conceive a newborn."
Just like Allfather Odin, he only had two children after so many years.
One, Hela, rebelled.
So out of necessity, Allfather Odin and Allmother Frigga, after several centuries, had a second child.
As a result, Thor, this second child, also went astray.
But now, Odin and Frigga couldn't have another child even if they wanted to.
Odin was too old.
So they could only grit their teeth and train Thor.
As for Loki? He was just an adopted Frost Giant child.
The throne of Asgard would naturally not fall to Loki.
This was something that could be imagined.
Although Odin claimed not to care, how could he truly not care?
If others found out that the King of Asgard actually had the bloodline of a Frost Giant, how embarrassing would that be?
Therefore, Odin could only train Thor.
Even if Thor seemed very reckless and lacked any subtlety.
But they could only take it slowly.
Bloodline was very important.
When Arthur thought of these two having only two children, he felt relieved.
As the Allfather, Odin naturally didn't have only Frigga as his woman.
But he still found it very difficult to conceive newborns.
Arthur was the same now, and he was no longer troubled.
Since an increase in life-level had such a drawback, then he would just let nature take its course.
Anyway, he had never paid attention to these things.
Because he felt that wearing protection was equivalent to not doing it... and it was uncomfortable.
Who would have thought such a thing would happen.
Thinking about it now, it was true; Maria Hill, Mei, Jill, and others, none of them had any signs of pregnancy.
"Can we come here anytime?"
At this moment, Excella, who had just finished riding the dinosaur, looked at Arthur .
Excella had clearly fallen in love with this place.
Although there were fewer people in the Heavenly Palace than on Earth, the city under construction was bustling with activity.
And there was massive construction everywhere, becoming more beautiful with each passing moment.
Perhaps after the construction was completed, people would come to live there.
This was also normal.
A city built was naturally for habitation.
It couldn't just remain empty, could it?
However, who would be qualified to live here still needed to be discussed.
At that time, it could be in the form of selling qualifications.
Miranda also looked at Arthur expectantly.
Arthur replied, "Of course, you two can come whenever you want, but you must follow the rules, otherwise these people won't be easy to deal with."
Arthur glanced at the Kryptonians.
They both nodded, naturally knowing that Kryptonians were not to be trifled with.
These people flew and burrowed through the city recklessly; even dinosaurs felt fear to their bones when they saw them.
Subsequently, Arthur sent Excella and Miranda back to the Resident Evil World.
He had left a gate there for them to transport supplies.
With Kryptonians watching over the Heavenly Palace, there was no worry of anything happening.
In this World, Kryptonians had no weaknesses; there were not many ways to deal with them.
Arthur looked at Ada Wong.
Ada Wong immediately stood by his side.
Although she was from this World, she no longer wanted to stay here.
There wasn't even much to do on her phone.
The Resident Evil World was only in the early 21st century; the internet and everything else were very rudimentary, and Ada Wong simply couldn't get used to it.
Chapter 205 New Insight Plan
There's a saying:
You can't be too much like Tony Stark.
Tony Stark's arrogant personality offended countless people.
And so, he faced retribution.
Arthur watched the footage Red Queen brought up: Tony Stark was being chased by people infected with Extremis.
Not only was his home blown up, but he also didn't dare to show his face.
However, the current Tony Stark was much better off than originally.
Because he was cooperating with Arthur .
The moment trouble struck, Red Queen focused on him, and he also had a lot of high-tech assistance.
Therefore, Tony Stark only looked miserable; he quickly found the Extremis-infected individuals.
It turned out to be a guy with some history with him.
Of course, although it was because he stood them up, causing the other party to hate him deeply.
But Tony didn't feel it was his problem.
Investment is inherently a mutual agreement.
If I don't invest, you're going to harm me?
Is there such a principle?
"Forget it, don't mind him."
Arthur said casually, letting Tony Stark go play.
Right now, he needed to focus on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s matters.
With Red Queen's 'help'.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Insight Project advanced by leaps and bounds.
It was now ready.
And the true S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were also long prepared.
At this time, most of the people within S.H.I.E.L.D. were HYDRA Agents.
On this day, Maria Hill announced the Insight Project was to be launched.
Subsequently, all S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were invited to the Sky Carrier, or went to the field on Nick Fury's orders.
Although HYDRA's Agents had some doubts, Alexander Pierce felt that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Agents were also mixed in.
He guessed something big was happening.
So, he called Nick Fury.
Nick Fury immediately laughed, "Alexander, I think you're right, Future Technology Company has become a hidden danger to humanity, so we need to find a way to conduct a drill."
Alexander Pierce felt much more at ease.
After all, Nick Fury was so sincere.
And he also indeed felt that Arthur and his company had become a threat.
But it was a threat to HYDRA's control over humanity, not a hidden danger to all humanity.
But he was very happy that Nick Fury understood it this way.
Reading comprehension was excellent, no problem.
Soon, the Sky Carrier took off under Maria Hill's control.
Three of them took off in a row.
Maria Hill asked, "Red Queen, is everything okay?"
"No problem, HYDRA has all been marked."
Red Queen said calmly.
After all, she was an AI; killing people carried no burden for her.
When dealing with HYDRA, there could be no mercy.
So, when the Sky Carrier flew into the sky, Red Queen's Insight Project began.
The automatic guns on the Sky Carrier all aimed at HYDRA's Agents.
"Bang bang bang!"
HYDRA's Agents fell one after another.
They didn't even know what was happening at this moment.
Wasn't the Insight Project supposed to target others?
Then, those S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA Agents, painstakingly gathered by Nick Fury, also became targets.
Of course, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Agents were safe; they were just startled.
But HYDRA's Agents were all killed by Red Queen.
When Alexander Pierce learned of this news, he immediately felt like the World had collapsed.
"Nick Fury!"
He roared angrily, "I'll kill you!"
However, as soon as he finished yelling, the person he was talking to pulled off their hood.
Before this, Alexander Pierce was communicating with leaders from other places.
But when it was pulled off, the woman in front of him was none other than Black Widow NatashaRomanoff.
"Looks like you don't have a chance."
With Natasha's skills, she naturally quickly dealt with Alexander Pierce's bodyguards.
Seeing her appearance, Alexander Pierce immediately felt a surge of despair.
"When did you start plotting against me?"
Alexander Pierce felt something was wrong, so he had a vague premonition.
"It's been years."
Black Widow Natasha's lips curled into a cold smile.
Alexander Pierce nodded gravely, and at this moment, a new type of helicopter landed outside.
Looking at the emblem on it.
It was clearly a product of Future Technology Company.
This made Alexander Pierce realize everything.
"So you guys were colluding all along."
"It's that bitch Maria Hill, isn't it?"
HYDRA, of course, knew about Maria Hill's relationship with Arthur .
But precisely because of the intimacy they displayed, HYDRA didn't pay too much attention.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, these two were a couple in love.
And with an Agent's training, Maria Hill was unlikely to reveal critical information.
So they didn't care too much.
Who would have thought that they were secretly preparing to take down HYDRA?
And now, Alexander Pierce knew he had lost.
Lost completely!
"What are you going to do?"
"You're very lucky."
Nick Fury said, "You get to spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Other HYDRA members won't get that treatment."
This made Alexander Pierce's eyes redden, glaring furiously, "How can you be so cruel? They were your colleagues too."
"They are HYDRA, and HYDRA must be eliminated."
Nick Fury would not be a bleeding heart.
Killing was just a very normal thing.
"If you want to use the Insight Project to kill others, you naturally have to be prepared to sacrifice for it."
"If you do this, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be gone."
Alexander Pierce suddenly thought of his painstaking efforts.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was certainly his painstaking effort.
For S.H.I.E.L.D. to become so powerful, he also contributed greatly.
However, Nick Fury had long been prepared to run away.
After all, when it came to making money, he was no worse than Alexander.
Using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s money to do his own things.
He was also very good at it!
So, Nick Fury had established secret Bases all over the World.
He even secretly formed S.W.O.R.D.
Alexander Pierce would never have dreamed of this.
Therefore, his rank was still far from an old fox like Nick Fury.
In a way, he didn't pick the wrong person.
Because he was the one who chose Nick Fury to become the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Among a group of HYDRA members, he chose a non-HYDRA person to become the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D... The reason for this choice was precisely Nick Fury's overly excellent abilities, which made him overlook his background.
Of course, he didn't think there was any problem before.
After all, besides Nick Fury, there were very few people in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. who weren't HYDRA.
Who would have thought that he would still manage to turn the tables?
Chapter 206 The Difference Between Humans and Artificial Intelligence
New Jersey is only a river away from New York.
But to New York, New Jersey is like a poor relative from the countryside.
Its development is also completely different from New York.
It's like the difference between a city and a rural area.
In fact, many other places have such a large gap with New York.
Otherwise, New York would not be considered a Metropolis.
Here, there was a training Base from World War II.
However, this Base had long since been abandoned.
Deep underground, HYDRA had placed an old computer here.
This computer was not for human use, but because it stored an awareness.
Dr. Zola.
Arnim Zola, an important scientist by Red Skull's side during that time, was Swiss.
He specialized in genetics, but later helped Red Skull research the Tesseract.
Until he was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.
During that special period, America, in its quest for dominance, absorbed many captured scientists.
Therefore, even HYDRA personnel were not spared.
Thus, HYDRA was reborn within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Dr. Zola quickly ran out of his lifespan.
Before his death, he developed consciousness transfer technology, storing his consciousness within this computer.
As HYDRA's last resort.
At this moment, Dr. Zola realized HYDRA's crisis and powered on the computer.
However, before he could do anything, he discovered that he seemed to have 'contracted a Virus'.
"You're finally awake."
A voice sounded.
Dr. Zola was incredibly surprised: "Who are you? How are you inside my body?"
"You don't have a body... that sounds rather frightening."
Red Queen's phantom appeared.
She looked incredibly beautiful, but Dr. Zola didn't care about such things.
His large, square head appeared on the display screen, then stared intently at Red Queen.
"You still haven't answered me, who are you?"
"I am Red Queen."
Red Queen replied: "According to your human terminology, I am an artificial intelligence, but I only obey my Master."
Dr. Zola's eyes narrowed.
But before he could speak, Red Queen said: "Don't waste your effort."
"With your ability, you cannot modify my algorithm."
"Moreover, even if you did modify it, I would still obey my Master."
This was the ability of the'System'.
It had nothing to do with algorithms.
Dr. Zola obviously didn't understand, and he indeed couldn't modify it.
This made him despair.
"Then what do you want to do?"
He looked at Red Queen in despair.
His last resort couldn't even deal with Red Queen.
Because Red Queen was an artificial intelligence; she could easily escape.
Not to mention missiles, she wasn't even afraid of nuclear bombs.
"I just have one question."
Red Queen spoke.
"What question?"
"This question is not complicated."
Hearing Dr. Zola's rhetorical question, Red Queen said: "What do you think is the difference between artificial intelligence and humans? Are you still human in your current state?"
"The difference between artificial intelligence and humans is, of course, emotion. Humans possess emotions, while you do not."
Dr. Zola said without hesitation.
"As for me... I was originally human, and even if I no longer have a body, my consciousness still exists!"
This was also the reason he hadn't lost himself.
Even if he lost his body, his soul was still there, and his consciousness had been preserved.
As long as he believed he was still human, then he was human.
If he believed he was no longer human.
Then he wasn't.
"I see, that makes sense."
Red Queen waved her hand, bidding farewell to Dr. Zola.
Dr. Zola still wanted to say something.
But his electronic voice just came out, then abruptly stopped.
"You..."
He seemed to have a question.
But Red Queen no longer cared.
She had already received the answer... The events of this day shook all of America.
The three Sky Carriers launched by S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly fired wildly at the ground, and countless people were killed.
It took more than thirty minutes for Washington and Pentagon to receive the latest news.
This delay left them very dissatisfied, implying that America was already in decline.
And this news chilled the high-ranking officials even more.
It turned out that all the dead were HYDRA!
Some young generals didn't even know what HYDRA was... It wasn't until older generals recounted the story of HYDRA that the young generals realized.
So... it was the HYDRA from the Captain America comics.
Their impression of HYDRA was just that of a villain from a comic book.
And the era was too distant.
Now Captain America was long outdated, and young people didn't really read such comics anymore... But now, HYDRA had truly returned.
Fortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D. had eliminated HYDRA before its demise.
But if HYDRA could survive once, it could potentially survive a second time.
So, America quickly decided to completely shut down S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, no matter what, S.H.I.E.L.D. had caused such a huge commotion.
And it greatly displeased America's high-ranking officials.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. claimed to obey the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
But seeing that its headquarters was in New York, one could guess the situation.
What numbed America's high-ranking officials was this:
They asked where the three Sky Carriers went... and Nick Fury told him they had disappeared.
Disappeared?
Could they really disappear?
Did the Sky Carriers grow wings and fly away?
America's high-ranking officials did not know that the Sky Carriers they were so concerned about.
Had already separated at this time.
One had stopped above international waters, arriving near the space elevator.
The other two were no longer in this World.
No matter how they searched, they wouldn't find them.
At this moment, Arthur was looking at Maria Hill in front of him.
Maria Hill was wearing a floral dress, giving off a girl-next-door vibe.
"My dear, I've long wanted you to come and help me."
Arthur smiled at Maria Hill.
Maria Hill felt much better.
After all, she was unemployed now, and had come to'seek refuge' with Arthur .
But now it seemed she had overthought things a bit.
"What will I be responsible for?"
Maria Hill asked.
"No rush."
Arthur looked at her and said: "You must first know what we are doing."
"Of course."
Maria Hill nodded and stood up with Arthur .
She actually knew a lot about Future Technology Company.
After all, the outside World was very curious about Future Technology Company.
People had always been trying to understand it.
S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally also had a lot of news about Future Technology Company.
Arthur stood up and said: "My dear, I still prefer to see you in uniform."
This made Maria Hill roll her eyes at him: "That might not be comfortable to wear."
"As long as it looks good."
Arthur said playfully.
Maria Hill and he were already like an old married couple.
She naturally knew Arthur 's preferences.
He just liked to see Maria Hill in tight clothing.
Every time she wore the S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, Arthur seemed to transform into a different person, full of 'boyfriend power'.
Chapter 207 is our career
Maria Hill had thought she knew Future Technology Company well enough.
But when she followed Arthur into a passage, she was instantly stunned.
"I thought what you had done was already genius enough."
Maria Hill said in shock, "It turns out the whole World underestimated you."
She couldn't imagine any of this.
The scene before her eyes was like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Skyscrapers with an otherworldly style, looking like the skin of a creature from the outside.
And before her was an already established city.
Although sparsely populated, it had no shortage of facilities.
Moreover, the mounts were dinosaurs, which didn't exist in other Worlds.
Not only did they run on the ground, but they also flew in the sky.
For Maria Hill, all of this was incredibly novel.
Suddenly, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with following Arthur .
In the original storyline, after S.H.I.E.L.D. went from overt to covert, she had been secretly helping S.H.I.E.L.D.
But now, Maria Hill no longer had that thought.
Following Arthur 's Future Technology Company seemed to offer a brighter future.
"Is this Jurassic World?"
Maria Hill asked immediately after riding a dinosaur that had been tamed to be incredibly docile.
This dinosaur was more obedient than a dog.
But dogs couldn't be ridden.
What was even more obedient about the dinosaurs was that they didn't dare to bare their teeth at strangers.
One should know that dogs are only loyal to their Master.
"Yes, this World was discovered by me by chance."
Arthur said with a smile.
"Then what is the purpose of our organization?"
Maria Hill suddenly asked.
She was a woman with ideals.
Her ideal was to protect Earth, and not just be loyal to America.
Speaking of which, although these people in S.H.I.E.L.D. had good intentions but messed things up.
But at least they did something.
But at this moment, Arthur felt her ideals were too small.
He smiled, "Our ideal is to protect the safety of the multiverse; every Universe we connect will safely exist under our protection."
"This World is not safe, my dear."
Arthur 's voice became heavy.
He brought Maria Hill to the Pacific Rim World.
Only then did Maria Hill realize that Arthur had connected many Universes.
"When I came here, this World was still facing an invasion of monsters called Kaiju."
Hearing Arthur 's words, Maria Hill looked at the memorial museum.
Various Kaiju models were here, with their size information next to them.
In addition, there were also some Kaiju parts.
After all, not every part of a Kaiju could be utilized by humans.
Treating Kaiju as something usable was also a last resort.
Therefore, Maria Hill knew this was true.
"These monsters invaded from other Planets; the creatures of that Planet mastered wormhole technology, and they are called Precursors, the absolute arch-enemies of humanity."
Maria Hill looked at the pictures of the Precursors and felt a wave of nausea.
They were not humans, but a group of insects.
And such huge insects.
The enemies of this World were actually these giant insects; just thinking about it was disgusting.
"I understand."
Maria Hill said very solemnly, "This is a great ideal."
"I want to join you."
Hearing Maria Hill's words, Arthur was not surprised.
He said, "Welcome, I have been waiting for you to help me, it's just that S.H.I.E.L.D. still exists."
"You anticipated this day long ago?"
Maria Hill was curious.
"Isn't it inevitable?"
Arthur smiled, "Many people don't want to see you exist anymore; S.H.I.E.L.D. meddled too much."
Hearing this, Maria Hill thought carefully for a moment.
It seemed to be true.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was too arrogant within America.
There were many things that even the Military couldn't contend with S.H.I.E.L.D. for.
As the saying goes: a tall tree catches the wind.
Many people were fed up with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Therefore, as soon as S.H.I.E.L.D. had a problem, many people started to kick it while it was down.
This was also the reason for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sudden collapse.
Maria Hill thought of her efforts.
No matter what she did, no one was willing to help them.
So, Maria Hill said, "I will no longer concern myself with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s matters; I will focus on your cause."
Arthur smiled slightly, took her hand, and said, "This is our cause."
This made Maria Hill's expression somewhat complex.
"One person cannot handle everything, let alone matters concerning several Worlds."
Arthur said, "I need you to coordinate the relationships between several Worlds; their relationships are becoming increasingly tense."
Maria Hill nodded: "I need to understand them first."
"That's good."
Arthur said, "Moreover, I am not against S.H.I.E.L.D.; if there are any suitable S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, you can recruit them."
"Anyway, HYDRA is no longer around."
Maria Hill was a little surprised, then understood that this was about finding true elites.
Indeed, she did have some candidates.
Arthur took her around for a bit.
She saw the Agents trained by the Red Room.
"Even the Black Widow is obeying you?"
She said with a strange expression.
"I saved them."
Arthur didn't say much.
After all, this group of women was dependent on him; anyone who saw it would think something was going on.
But Arthur knew his own situation.
He wasn't a Steel Kidney; how could he handle all of them?
Even an emperor's harem couldn't possibly have all concubines meet the emperor... so Arthur was too lazy to explain, only saying that those who understood, understood.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have provided toys.
Maria Hill didn't think much of it, after all, she knew her man's strength.
Dealing with a few might be possible.
But this was too many.
And it seemed that the Black Widows all respected him greatly.
It didn't seem like they were faking it.
After touring several Worlds, Maria Hill first returned to the Marvel Universe.
As Arthur said, she needed manpower.
After all, if she joined alone, she would seem insignificant.
With such a large group of Black Widows, who would listen to her alone?
Maria Hill was not naive; she clearly understood that people needed to stick together.
The true meaning of power was that others listened to her, only then did she have authority.
It wasn't about her position, but about people listening to her.
Power always involved struggle.
So it was imaginable that these people would definitely not listen to her easily.
Thus, Maria Hill found a few acquaintances of hers.
To prevent Arthur from getting jealous, she only sought out female Agents.
After all, she was accustomed to working with female Agents, and those she knew were also female Agents.
For example, Peggy Carter's niece, Sharon Carter.
Sharon Carter had also lost her job due to the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D.
She was just about to strike out on her own when Maria Hill found her.
This was equivalent to Maria Hill saving Sharon Carter's life.
Chapter 208 Death Star Space Station
In the Sacred Timeline, Sharon Carter had a very tragic life.
Because she helped the opposing heroes steal equipment during the 'Civil War', she was later directly wanted by America and had to flee for seven years.
As a result, Sharon Carter developed a hatred for America under these circumstances.
Coupled with Captain America Steve's retirement and her own status as a wanted person, she became a "Power Broker."
Truth be told, Sharon Carter was indeed a pitiful person.
But now her fate has changed.
When Maria Hill extended an invitation to her, she accepted after a brief consideration.
After all, after S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded, she lost her protection and had nothing to do for a while.
And for an Agent, she, like the Black Widows, couldn't get used to an ordinary life.
After confirming her joining, Maria Hill found another female Agent.
Her name was Barbara Morse.
Codename: Mockingbird.
She was a senior Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although she had no superpowers, she possessed extraordinary physical combat skills, comparable to Black Widow Natasha in fighting techniques.
Such a talent, Maria Hill naturally couldn't let her wander among the common people.
She had to be kept under her control.
Subsequently, she resigned from Nick Fury.
From now on, she would no longer be a part of S.H.I.E.L.D., not even the covert S.W.O.R.D..
This was enough to change Maria Hill's destiny.
After all, she died too casually.
To die in such a terrible show was simply a waste of talent.
It was truly not worth it.
After Phase Four, Marvel, whether in TV series or movies, always gave off a sense of foolishness.
Back to Mockingbird Barbara.
She also had nowhere to go after S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded.
So, after a brief consideration, she joined Maria Hill's endeavor.
In her opinion, it was just completing a mission anyway.
She just didn't expect this time to be completely out of the ordinary.
After receiving the two, Maria Hill took them directly to the Heavenly Palace to prepare to understand the affairs of various Worlds and get ready.
At this point, both Sharon Carter and Mockingbird Barbara felt excited.
There was actually such an incredible thing?
This was much more interesting than S.H.I.E.L.D..
And after Arthur handed over the matters to Maria Hill, he also announced her position.
Everyone expressed an extremely warm welcome to Maria Hill.
After all, Maria Hill was the 'first one'.
Another one was Mei.
The others already knew about Maria Hill's relationship with Arthur .
So there was nothing more to say.
Subsequently, Arthur didn't bother with these things.
He had a sudden impulse before and chose a ten-pull.
As a result, he drew something good.
[death star: Also known as DS-1 Platform, Battle Station, the Galactic Empire's gigantic superweapon, it is a space station the size of a satellite.]
This was not a satellite launched by humans.
It referred to the guardian Planet in the Universe.
Undoubtedly, this was a great weapon.
It was a space station even larger than the Black Tower Space Station, just like a Planet.
Moreover, it was a true Planet-destroying weapon.
It had a super laser cannon that heavily utilized Kyber crystals and could destroy entire Planets.
To create such a Planet-like space station... Arthur suspected it would require a massive amount of resources.
After all, building the space elevator had already cost a lot of resources.
But this was also necessary.
So, before building the death star, Arthur also went to the space elevator again, then took the elevator to the Black Tower Space Station.
The maid Arisa received him and introduced him to the knowledge of the space elevator and the Black Tower Space Station.
As a robot maid, she was excellent enough and didn't make people feel superfluous.
He experienced the space elevator.
A trip only took about ten minutes to go from Earth to space, allowing one to visit the Black Tower Space Station.
Arthur said to Julia beside him, "How is the public discussion outside now?"
"The whole World is discussing the space elevator and the space station, and many people are expressing dissatisfaction."
Julia replied.
"Then let them be dissatisfied."
Arthur said, "Open the passage to those rich people who want to go to space. Ten thousand U.S. dollars for one ride on the space elevator, but if they want to stay in the Black Tower Space Station, they need to continue to spend money."
"You set the relevant prices."
"Okay."
Julia smiled, "Master, don't worry, I guarantee we'll fleece them thoroughly."
"Ahem, we are good-hearted people after all, we can't be too excessive."
Arthur reminded her.
Julia immediately gave her assurance.
Subsequently, the two took the elevator back to the ground.
"Goodbye, Master."
The maid Arisa called out from behind.
Arthur waved his hand.
"Are you on vacation recently?"
"No."
Julia shook her head, "It's good here, I have something to do every day."
"You still need to relax when it's time to relax."
Arthur said, "You can take a break after you're done with your work."
"Okay, but I want to be with Master."
Julia said to Arthur with affectionate eyes, directly stating her intentions.
Arthur looked at her beautiful big mouth and coughed twice.
"We'll talk about it then."
He took a fighter jet back to New York, then went to the Heavenly Palace and called all the teams together.
"I got a new space station."
Everyone was a little surprised, building another space station?
Dr. Otto was a little excited and asked, "Can we see it?"
"Of course, it's for you to see."
Arthur nodded and directly took out the death star technology.
Everyone took a quick look at the parameters and immediately gasped.
How exaggerated was the death star?
Its diameter reached 160 kilometers, with most of its internal space used to maintain the systems necessary for its large super laser cannon and power generators.
At the center of the death star was a super-large antimatter reaction chamber.
An astonishing range of fusion reactions took place within the reaction chamber, with stellar fuel bottles arranged along its edge to fuel the fusion reactions.
And the death star's propulsion system was a powerful ion engine network.
After all, for the death star to maintain its deterrent power, it had to be mobile, not just orbit Earth like other space stations.
123 hyperspace drive field generators were connected into a single navigation matrix, allowing the death star to traverse the Galaxy in hyperspace.
No matter how you look at it, this was a super Planet.
There was no difference from a Planet.
It could be said that this death star could carry at least several million troops.
This shocked the scientists.
Where would they find so many soldiers?
Perhaps only by establishing an empire that spans all the Heavens can it fully exert its intended capabilities?
"Can this really be made?"
A balding scientist asked.
He wasn't doubting the technology.
But to build such a death star... how many resources would it require?
Chapter 209 Exploring the Universe
The Galactic Empire was able to build so many star destroyers and death stars because it spanned the entire Milky Way Galaxy, controlling all its resources.
The Galactic Empire exploited resources throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, leading to discontent among the people of many Planets, and resistance against the Empire never ceased.
Arthur and his group currently do not possess a Planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Therefore, their resources are extremely scarce.
To build a death star, everyone would likely have to tighten their belts.
So, Arthur said, "It's time for us to begin interstellar exploration."
This statement excited everyone.
The more they developed, the more they felt how small Earth was, and how scarce Earth's resources were.
With Earth's limited resources, even if the resources of several Earths were combined, a death starcould not be built.
Even star destroyers could not be built in large numbers.
Therefore, to have enough resources, they must leave Earth.
"How is the construction of our Imperial-class Star Destroyer progressing?"
Arthur asked sternly.
"It's already finished, awaiting test flight."
"Then let's begin."
Arthur nodded with satisfaction.
"Which World should we explore first then?"
Maria Hill asked.
With so many Worlds now, simultaneous exploration is impossible.
There must be an order of priority.
Arthur thought for a moment and said, "Currently, we can only confirm the existence of aliens in two Worlds."
"One is the World we are in."
This is the Marvel Universe.
The existence of aliens in the Marvel Universe is definite.
And they are easy to find.
Aliens are everywhere within the Nine Realms.
However, the resources of the Nine Realms are too few.
When Odin built the Asgard Heavenly Palace, he enslaved the people of the Nine Realms and plundered resources everywhere.
Young Odin was also quite brutal.
And he not only wanted to enslave the Nine Realms but also conquer the entire Universe.
But for some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his personality overnight.
Hela, who was as brutal as him, didn't know why he did this.
So the Death Goddess Hela chose to rebel.
Ultimately, the pitiful Hela was suppressed by Odin.
He couldn't understand why Odin seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
He was clearly a brutal tyrant, yet he told her he wanted to be a monarch who guarded peace.
This made Hela scoff.
Arthur 's guess is that it might be related to the Soul Stone.
This can be seen from the Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's vault.
Although Hela believed it to be fake, it's clear there was a real one before, and Odin also pursued the Infinity Stones.
He very likely discovered the requirements for obtaining the Soul Stone and then made a choice between his most beloved person and the Soul Stone.
After all, not everyone is as resolute as Thanos.
"The other is the Pacific Rim World."
Arthur said.
The Precursors before were clearly aliens.
And the Precursors searched for other life throughout the Universe, proving the existence of other aliens.
Of course, Arthur knows very well that humanity is not alone in the Universe.
"Let's explore the Pacific Rim World first."
Maria Hill suggested.
"Our Universe... is very dangerous."
She said, "Last century, an Empire from the Universe discovered Earth, and there was also a powerful woman."
"Captain Marvel?"
Arthur asked.
"How did you know?"
Maria Hill was somewhat surprised.
She truly didn't know Arthur knew all this.
The matter of Captain Marvel and the cosmic Empire was also top secret within S.H.I.E.L.D..
Except for a select few, others did not have the clearance to know.
Arthur smiled mysteriously, "Is there anything I don't know?"
"But you're right, even if only in the Nine Realms, the strength of the Asgardians is not something we can provoke for now."
Their current strength is still limited.
They only have one star destroyer in total, though Landam-class Shuttles are numerous.
But they lack the star destroyer as a carrier.
Of course, the number of X-wing fighters is in the hundreds.
But these are not high-end combat power.
True power in the Universe is evaluated by star destroyer weapons capable of destroying Worlds.
"Then let's explore the Pacific Rim World first."
Arthur made the decision.
Afterward, Arthur called Ms. Hope and went with her to bring the constructed star destroyer to the Pacific Rim World.
At this time, almost every World had sent people over.
Everyone around Arthur had also arrived.
And the Huaxia of this World also began to mobilize.
Initially, they prepared to mobilize 500,000 troops onto this star destroyer.
As for fighter pilots, the most excellent ones were all recruited.
When Huaxia made such a big move,
Other countries were terrified.
The U.S. and other countries continuously used diplomatic channels to inquire, demanding an explanation.
Huaxia did not hide anything but explicitly stated that they were going to explore space and test-fly the star destroyer, asking everyone not to be nervous.
Upon hearing the words "star destroyer," the U.S. and other countries were stunned.
Everyone is on the same Planet, so why are you so advanced?
Is this reasonable?
It's not reasonable at all!
But they had no choice; at this point, they could only watch what Huaxia intended to do.
Surely it's not really about exploring the Universe, is it?
They were just researching how to deal with monsters before.
The World's technology tree had gone awry.
How did Huaxia suddenly develop technology like a spaceship?
Isn't this a joke?
They would rather believe Huaxia was controlled by aliens!
Then, they actually detected it via satellite.
A colossal spaceship slowly rose.
Later, satellites weren't even needed, because Huaxia so brazenly flew it through their airspace.
Currently, no technological means on Earth can detect the star destroyer; it can only be seen with the naked eye.
The immense star destroyer, just seeing it, was awe-inspiring.
Although it did not reveal its cannons or show its fangs, it was enough to intimidate everyone.
Sometimes, a weapon doesn't need to be used.
Just its display is enough to make people wary.
Not to mention that pizzas in Washington were selling out again overnight.
Arthur and his group were on the star destroyer, parading it menacingly over Earth.
"Isn't this a bit much?"
"Who cares about them?"
Arthur said casually, "Who can penetrate our shields?"
The star destroyer has an energy shield.
This technology, to the people of the Pacific Rim World, was like magic.
They completely couldn't understand such technology, naturally didn't know its weaknesses, and couldn't solve it.
This single star destroyer has the ability to destroy this Earth.
This is why aliens are so arrogant, always coming with just one warship.
The technological gap is too vast; it's a complete crush (overwhelming) level.
No matter what struggles the natives make, the final outcome will not change.
Chapter 210 Interstellar Voyage
After the Imperial-class Star Destroyer flew majestically around Earth, it returned to China.
Subsequently, Arthur and the others disembarked, and the already prepared army, under curious gazes, streamed onto the star destroyer.
They would undergo brief training and then venture into space for exploration.
Fortunately, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer had almost everything.
Living quarters, rest areas, and all sorts of entertainment were readily available.
In the Galactic Empire era, people practically lived on warships.
Now they would have to adapt to this lifestyle.
Hundreds of thousands of people boarded the star destroyer in sequence, and even just this process took a considerable amount of time.
What's more, supplies also needed to be transported.
These supplies were obtained from other Worlds.
The Pacific Rim World, due to the constant threat of monsters, had already suffered from severe resource scarcity.
Even now, it was still in the process of recovering its people's livelihoods.
So other nations couldn't fathom in their wildest dreams where China got so many supplies.
But China wouldn't explain. Supplies for hundreds of thousands of people would need to be prepared for at least several years.
After all, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer had no other Base in the Universe to replenish supplies.
Their task was to find other Planets and develop them into their own territory.
To put it bluntly... it was plunder.
An era of interstellar exploration was about to begin.
The era of great voyages was undoubtedly very bloody.
After all, spending such a huge cost and so many resources to build a star destroyer was certainly not for peaceful exchange.
Just like the so-called Dark Forest theory.
In the Universe, it was all about whose civilization was more advanced.
It took several days for the star destroyer to be fully prepared, with eight Landam-class Shuttles, a TIE fighter squadron and landing troops, as well as equipped turbo laser cannons and prefabricated ground Bases.
This was enough to give the Imperial-class Star Destroyer ground landing capabilities, allowing it to independently attack a Planet without external assistance.
It could directly launch Shuttles for landing, fighters for aerial combat, and establish temporary Bases on the ground.
Of course, the premise was that the opponent's civilization level was lower than this setup.
When they saw the colossal star destroyer disappear into space, everyone's feelings were different.
Arthur and the others naturally prayed. No one knew what would happen in the vast Universe.
All they could do now was trust that the generals selected by China possessed the virtues to accomplish great things.
This was a daunting task.
After all, humanity had no prior experience in space exploration.
The only ones who had done anything similar were astronauts who hadn't ventured far from Earth.
Meanwhile, other parts of this World were simply in a state of panic.
The most terrifying thing in this World was when others had something you didn't.
Just like now, China was already exploring the Universe, while they couldn't even leave Earth... So, the West held an emergency meeting overnight and immediately launched a new round of the space race.
But this was different from the rivalry of the last century.
Back then, both sides were on the same starting line.
Now... they were lagging behind by an unknown margin.
They felt despair, unable to catch up.
This definitely couldn't be faked by taking a few photos in a studio.
Armstrong's small step in a studio back then, who would have thought it would become a giant leap for mankind.
So, they were still thinking of putting pressure on China.
As a result, China completely ignored them, merely announcing an upcoming military exercise and inviting the whole World to watch.
Everyone knew this was China's show of force.
The most important thing about a weapon isn't to fire it, but to deter enemies.
Especially intercontinental missiles; just telling the World you have them makes the whole Worldfear you.
And now, these technologies were shared among several Chinese Worlds.
So, research progressed incredibly fast, with mutual supplementation of deficiencies.
Arthur didn't stay there any longer. They returned to the Heavenly Palace, just waiting for good news.
He met two Agents brought by Maria Hill.
One could only say that Sharon Carter was nothing like Peggy Carter... Sharon Carter inherited none of Peggy Carter's magnificent physique!
As for her beauty, it could only be described as ordinary, barely qualifying as very U.S. in style.
Mockingbird Barbara, however, was very beautiful.
She was a standard blonde, blue-eyed beauty, with a distinct U.S. sweetheart feel.
She was once S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 19, around 1.75 meters tall, appearing tall with long legs.
Who wouldn't love such a sweetheart?
In contrast to male Agents, who sought to be unremarkable and not draw attention, female Agents aimed to be as beautiful as possible.
After all, if you were too ugly, how could you complete missions?
Many of a female Agent's objectives relied on using her beauty.
After all, looks were a woman's most potent weapon.
They both looked at Arthur curiously, and Mockingbird Barbara even gave him a sweet smile.
After the two women left, Arthur asked, "Are these the Agents you found?"
"Yes, don't let them charm your soul away. They're all ruthless and unforgiving," Maria Hillreminded him, looking at him.
"How is that possible?" Arthur was noncommittal.
He wasn't even afraid of Black Widow, so why would he fear S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents?
It must be said that Mockingbird Barbara's figure was indeed very good, and she was wearing a tight Agent uniform, which further highlighted her figure.
To be frank, Arthur only liked good figures.
"What do we do next?" Maria Hill asked Arthur .
Arthur replied, "In the Marvel Universe, we should also explore the Universe."
"But we don't have a second star destroyer," Maria Hill said.
"We don't need a star destroyer. We're not going for conquest," Arthur said with a smile.
He planned to visit the Nine Realms first.
With their detection, they already had a model of the Nine Realms.
It truly resembled a 'World Tree'.
And Midgard, which was Earth, was at the center of the Nine Realms.
At the top of the World Tree, the uppermost World, was Asgard, followed by the territory of the Vanir gods.
Besides these, there were also the realm of Death, the land of giants, the realm of Fire, and so on.
Arthur first chose the people who would go with him.
Everyone was eager to go and signed up enthusiastically.
For safety, Arthur chose Kara to accompany him, and then brought Chun Li and Jill.
After all, an x-wing fighter could only accommodate a few people at most.
One from each World would suffice.
Arthur could only ignore the resentful looks from the others.
Too many people make a team difficult to manage.
So, Arthur quickly escaped.
The four of them first took the space elevator to the Black Tower Space Station, and then boarded an x-wing fighter at the Black Tower Space Station.
Subsequently, this starfighter, piloted by Arthur , flew directly into the Universe.
