Chapter 3730 Doomsday (23)

Chapter 3730 Doomsday (Twenty-Three)

The three great empires are now in a somewhat precarious situation. Asgard had previously extended a grand invitation to many civilizations to a banquet there, and then the humans killed the Shi'ar envoy right under their noses. This has led to a great deal of attention from them, making it headline news and the number one trending topic on the interstellar network.

The Feather Galaxy is not some peripheral system, and the Shia Empire is adept at trade. At the time of the incident, there were still many other civilizations on Feather, which made this war a matter of great concern to interstellar society.

As the war has progressed, many civilizations have stated that the outcome was not unexpected. While the three great empires are formidable, humanity's unpredictable tactics and overwhelming individual combat prowess suggest that the three great empires are likely to suffer a defeat this time.

Although the three great empires were also waging a propaganda war online, constantly trying to quell the rumors, the interstellar network was not their sole domain. Besides, if they could wage a propaganda war, so could humanity. To help them launch a successful counterattack and regain public support, Jarvis had been secretly stirring things up, actively participating in various discussion groups and posts, and frequently releasing insider information.

For example, he released the video of the Phoenix destroying the galaxy, which instantly caused a huge uproar and completely overshadowed the popularity of the three empires' whitewashed announcement.

Just as the three empires were about to deny the rumors, he released another video from a different perspective: a Shi'ar warship collided with a Kree warship, sparking further speculation about the relationship between the three empires and successfully pushing the topic to the top of the trending charts.

The interstellar network is actually quite similar to the human internet; both are communication methods that inevitably emerge when civilizations develop to a certain stage. However, because the interstellar network is much larger and more difficult to control, it provides opportunities for electronic life forms like Jarvis to take advantage of the chaos.

Originally, the Supreme Intelligence, the electronic life form, was the most adept at interstellar cyber propaganda among the three great empires. However, with one of its mainframes destroyed, at least half of its threads were not functioning properly. It also had to manage the vast Kree Empire, preventing it from dedicating all its energy to the network like Jarvis could. In the blink of an eye, Jarvis was everywhere.

He would sometimes pretend to be an insider who knew the specifics of the war, recounting how brutal the last war was and how heavy the losses were for the three great empires; other times he would pretend to be an insider of the three great empires, praising their strength and saying that they would definitely retaliate, and would confront Earth head-on, crushing them to a pulp.

As a result, most interstellar civilizations felt that the three great empires would not let the matter rest and would definitely defeat Earth severely, teaching these arrogant interstellar terrorists a lesson.

This led to overwhelming disappointment in online opinion when the three empires announced their intention to attack the nine kingdoms.

"If Earth attacks you, why are you going to attack the Nine Realms? Isn't that just a disguised form of desertion?"

Jarvis set the bar too high, talking about judging Phoenix, capturing Magneto alive, and launching a full-scale attack to completely destroy Earth. Fans of the three great empires online were incredibly enthusiastic, eagerly awaiting how the three empires, representing justice, would deal with these terrorists. And then you tell me, you're not going to attack Earth? What happened to the promised righteous judgment? What happened to being unstoppable?

The announcement of the attack plan against the Nine Realms failed to reverse interstellar public opinion. The supreme rulers of the three great empires were also furious, but since the words had already been spoken, the war had to be fought. The three great empires once again mobilized their forces and marched towards the Nine Realms.

Having had some preparation time, they were absolutely prepared this time, bringing everything they needed. Furthermore, to prevent Earth from returning to defend itself, they had also prepared gravity anchors and various containment devices.

So, what is Asgard doing right now?

They are eagerly awaiting the return of their good brother Earth, who will bring back a large number of enemies so they can have some fun.

Yes, the Asgardians showed absolutely no tension about their home being attacked; on the contrary, they were all eager and excited. After holding back for so long, finally someone worthy of giving them a good beating had arrived.

As for whether their home base would be pushed back by the three great empires? That wasn't on their radar. These brutes were only thinking about having their fun first.

Odin was indeed persuaded by Thor to come out of seclusion—not because Thor himself couldn't fight, but mainly because he had more important things to do. Besides, the old man had been itching to fight, and as soon as he heard there was a war to be fought, he grabbed Gungnir and went.

Thor is currently in the Underworld, which is Hela's territory.

After Thor finished explaining his plan, Hela wore a very complicated expression. She first looked her brother up and down, then glanced at Loki beside her.

"Why are you looking at me?" Loki raised an eyebrow and said, "This plan wasn't mine. I'm not that despicable. It's clearly a dirty trick devised by those humans."

Hela clicked her tongue and said, "They're absolutely insane, and you're all going along with their nonsense. Do Odin and Frigga know about this?"

Thor and Loki exchanged a glance, and Thor coughed and said, "We haven't dared to let them know yet. But anyway, he was busy fighting the people of the three great empires at that time, so he probably wouldn't be able to take care of us."

“You’re just waiting to get beaten up,” Hela said, turning around. “As long as he doesn’t cause me any trouble, I’ll cooperate with you as much as possible. Come with me.”

She led Thor and Loki into the depths of the Underworld. They traversed barren plains and crossed two dark mountains, finally encountering an enormous wolf beneath Hela's palace.

Fenrir opened his eyes, his yellow vertical pupils covered with eerie patterns. The murderous aura emanating from him chilled Thor and Loki to the bone, as if he were the most powerful enemy on their destined path.

This feeling shouldn't have arisen, because Thor and Loki were not the same people they used to be. But standing before this giant wolf, they finally understood that what Schiller had told them was true.

“The future of Ragnarok has never disappeared,” Schiller said to Loki in his office. “You have indeed made up for the World Tree’s debt with a massive amount of energy, but the gods should never have existed in the first place. You have only postponed the arrival of Ragnarok indefinitely, but you have not truly destroyed it.”

Loki pondered in silence. He was reluctant to admit it, but he still felt Schiller's words made sense. The gods, beings virtually without flaws, shouldn't exist in the universe. Excessive power would bring more chaos, accelerating the universe's entropy until its destruction.

Ragnarok is the way of balancing the universe. Everything they are doing now is merely postponing it, but no one knows how long it can be postponed.

“I have a way to eliminate this problem forever,” Schiller said, “but it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate. If possible, we might even be able to use this to our advantage and harm the three great empires.”

“Go ahead and say it,” Loki said, taking a deep breath.

The plan spun in Loki's mind for a moment. He looked up at Thor and said, "Hela said she can control Fenrir, so our plan is half complete. Next, we need to find that dark dragon Nidhogg. Is he still in the same old spot?"

"Yes, I saw it when I went to the World Tree before, but because we kept replenishing the World Tree with energy, it couldn't gnaw through the roots, not even a bit of bark. This time we'll have to rely on it."

"Schiller said that everything is ready in Jormungandr. If it's inconvenient for us to store Nidhogg here, we can store it with him."

Why does he always like collecting these strange and unusual things?

"Who says Asgard is always full of these strange things? Oh, and by the way, did you find that rooster named Glinkby?"

"There aren't any. Where else can you find a rooster besides Earth? Why don't we go to Earth and find an ordinary rooster and make do?"

"Can't you show some respect for magical rituals? Is this something that can be done half-heartedly?"

The two brothers talked as they walked toward the World Tree.

At this moment, the three great empires were already at the city's gates. Odin stood at the bow of the warship, holding Gungnir, with Asgardian warriors behind him.

Emperor Skrull saw him almost immediately. His expression darkened, and he said into the communication channel, "Long time no see, Odin. I thought you were long dead."

"If I'm really old and about to die, you should be worried about your head," Odin laughed. "Enough nonsense, let's see if you bunch of scrap metal have improved! Heimdall!!!"

With a roar from Odin, the Bifrost flashed with light. The next second, Odin pierced through the Skrull Emperor's chariot with his spear. Countless Asgardian warriors leaped aboard, their divine power illuminating the universe.

"That old madman!" Emperor Skrull cursed as he ran out under the protection of his personal guards. He hadn't fought Asgard in so long that he'd forgotten what these brutes were like. Why did he even open his mouth?!

This time, Odin assembled almost all of Asgard's forces—in fact, almost the entire population of Asgard, with about ten thousand Asgardian warriors following Odin into battle.

Despite their small numbers, which pale in comparison to the millions of warships from the three great empires, almost every Protoss warrior is capable of taking on a thousand men. Their efficiency is even greater when they fight as a team; a five-man squad can clear out a large area in one fell swoop.

The warships of the three great empires were like paper in their hands; a single punch could shatter their shields, and a follow-up slash would send their alloy hulls crumbling. Divine light sliced ​​through the warships' outer shells like butter, encountering no resistance whatsoever; the warships were simply chopped into pieces.

Odin's elite squad moved with unparalleled ease, their movements across the Rainbow Bridge a blur of light, each short leap precisely striking key targets.

Odin, the Allfather, possessed unparalleled talent and experience in combat. The space-time and warp-locking devices that had successfully trapped Earth were destroyed before they could even be deployed. This meant that no one could restrain the Bifrost. Unable to restrict mobility, more vital infrastructure was destroyed, and the three great empires were forced into a series of defeats.

Unbeknownst to them, Earth had already flown to the outskirts of the Nine Realms. Seeing this, exclamations frequently echoed within humanity's command center.

"Asgard is amazing. It's a pity they have so few people. If only they had billions..."

"Then the universe wouldn't need to exist. Haven't you heard of Ragnarok? It's because this race is too powerful that the universe can't contain them, so it wants to destroy them. If we humans were that powerful, we probably wouldn't be able to escape either."

"Fortunately, most of us are weak, and only a small number are strong. I think this model is good. No matter how strong the strong ones are, they won't be targeted by the universe."

"I reckon even the universe didn't expect that someone among us could be so powerful. Although we ordinary people are physically weak, our intelligence and learning ability are still top-notch. Otherwise, how could we have created a faster-than-light engine?"

"That's true, we didn't hold those superhumans back. This time, we barely needed them to exert any effort; we single-handedly routed the three great empires..."
