What would be the reaction of a naughty child who knows he has made a mistake and is suddenly caught by his parents? Usually the first reaction is fear, followed by guilt, and finally he may pretend to be pitiful in order to avoid punishment.
But little Annie was clearly not among them.
Because she is much stronger than the average naughty kid, and as a quasi-divine being, her way of thinking is also completely different.
When he saw his father appear, he instantly dropped the giant dragon created with arcane energy, and teleported back to the top floor of the building of Stark Industries headquarters. Without hesitation, he performed the trick of "I would rather die than let my friend die" and pushed Loki out as a shield.
The clever little guy grabbed Loki's cape and said seriously, "Didn't you say before that you are a god and that even my father wouldn't dare to go against your will? Now that he's here, the rest is up to you. Come on! I believe you can do it."
As for Loki, his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was numb...
No matter how stupid he was or how slow his reaction was, after seeing with his own eyes how Zuo Si easily decomposed and absorbed the giant dragon made of energy, he realized that the little guy he picked up and his father were definitely not ordinary people.
Especially the terrifying magical power, even Frigga, the adoptive mother who taught him since childhood, could not compare with it.
To be precise, Asgard's magic system is somewhat different from what most people think of as chanting spells and manipulating energy.
At least it is very different from the magic system of Kamar-Taj.
It is more used in improving technology and strengthening itself.
For example, the Rainbow Bridge built by combining magic and technology, and the weapons and equipment forged through "enchantment", including Odin's Destroyer Armor and the Spear of Eternity.
In other words, it is a bit like a mage who specializes in melee combat.
Queen Frigga, who was known to be the best at using magical powers, held Thor, the god of thunder, in front of her chest after giving birth to him, then rushed into the enemy with a sword in hand and killed them all.
Therefore, the illusion magic that Loki is best at is considered quite fancy in the eyes of the Asgardians.
However, compared with the terrifying magical abilities displayed by little Annie and Zuo Si, he felt like a babbling child.
Especially the extremely complex spell model and the precise control of energy, which are simply beyond the limits of what mortals can imagine.
Maybe it would even be possible to create life with intelligence and independent thinking ability out of thin air.
In addition, the disastrous defeat of the Chitauri fleet in Earth orbit also made Loki realize that the plan to occupy the Earth had failed.
No matter where that suddenly appearing powerful fleet came from, and what attitude it would take towards the planet beneath his feet, it had nothing to do with him.
As for Thanos, who has always been cautious, he would definitely not choose to intervene in a situation where he doesn't even know who the enemy is.
After all, to the Eternal Titans, the Chitauri are just pawns that can be discarded at any time. Their real descendants have always been the fleet led by the Five Obsidian Generals and two adopted daughters.
If it were in the past, Loki would probably have already started thinking about how to escape.
From the extremely unfriendly expressions of the Avengers around, including Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow, it is not difficult to infer how miserable the fate would be if they were captured. At the very least, a beating would be inevitable.
But when he saw little Annie's sparkling and expectant eyes, he inexplicably developed some kind of inexplicable courage, and said to Zuo Si who landed on the top floor of the building: "Well... I think maybe we can sit down and talk calmly. After all, she is just a child."
Hearing this, Zuo Si couldn't help laughing, and he joked: "You still have the time to care about other things now? If I were you, I would immediately throw myself into Thor's arms and ask him to take you back to Asgard for trial.
Because no matter what, you are his brother who grew up with him.
Odin would not be so cruel as to execute you.
At most you will be locked up and lose your freedom.
But if you fall into the hands of Earthlings, you will inevitably die because of the killing, destruction and death caused by the Chitauri, even if you put aside your hatred and follow the legal procedures.
Most importantly, what gave you the courage to interfere with the education of my own daughter?"
As the last word came out of his mouth, Loki immediately felt a huge sense of oppression that could not be described in words, as well as terrifying magical energy that seemed to be tangible and rushed towards him.
Such a terrifying aura frightened him even more than when Odin was angry, as if he might be crushed to death like a bug in the next second.
“I…I…”
Loki just felt his mouth dry and his tongue parched. He was originally full of sophistry, but now he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
With his intelligence, he naturally knew that the other party was right.
His current situation was even more dangerous than launching a coup in Asgard and provoking a war with the Frost Giants.
After all, Odin has raised Loki for so many years, it would be a lie to say that he has no feelings at all.
In addition, with the intercession of Queen Frigga and his good brother Thor, his life would not be in danger even if he was caught.
But what about now?
At least millions or even tens of millions of people on Earth died in the invasion of the Chitauri.
Except for Thor, the eyes of the other Avengers revealed undisguised hostility and hatred.
If they do not receive political asylum from Thor and Asgard, the governments of the Earth, which have suffered heavy losses, will definitely eat them alive to appease the anger of the lower-class civilians.
But just when Loki was feeling dejected and starting to worry about himself, he suddenly felt his sleeve being gently tugged. He lowered his head and immediately met little Annie's watery and pitiful big eyes.
The next second...
The courage surged from the bottom of his heart again! But before he could open his mouth to speak, he saw a huge green figure in the distance banging in like a cannonball. It was the Hulk with scratches and bite marks all over his body.
Since he no longer had his pet bear to suppress him, he naturally had to return to this place to seek revenge.
After all, although Hulk's IQ is not high and he is very childish, he has a very obvious characteristic in his character, which is that he holds grudges very much.
Just as he was about to rush over to teach the little kid hiding behind Loki a lesson, his eyes suddenly met with Zuo Si's for less than 0.01 second.
Immediately afterwards, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind, a strong desire that could not be suppressed, and his gaze shifted from little Annie to Loki.
Seeing the Hulk's ferocious eyes, Loki instantly felt as if a big hand was strangling his neck, and at the same time, his sixth sense frantically issued a warning.
But before he could react, Hulk rushed forward, grabbed his feet, swung them around and slammed them to the ground.
Boom!!! This violent blow immediately created a large hole in the ground, as well as spider-web-shaped cracks.
Loki's head was buzzing and he completely lost all ability to think. He felt dizzy and the world was spinning around him.
Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and others standing by opened their mouths in surprise.
Little Annie even retreated to the bar counter the moment the Hulk rushed over.
She was not a fool, so of course she could see that this stupid, brutal and violent big man was influenced by her father's magic such as mental suggestion.
The result was that Loki was ultimately unable to escape the famous scene and psychological trauma of his life. He was grabbed by Hulk and smashed to the ground, and finally lay straight in the pit, twitching slightly uncontrollably.
As for the pink heart-shaped badge, it didn't have any effect.
Because although Loki looked very embarrassed at the moment, his injuries were not serious and were far from life-threatening.
In terms of taking a beating, although he is not a member of the Asgard gods but a frost giant, he is not much worse than his half-brother Thor. They are both cockroaches that are difficult to kill.
Therefore, compared with the physical injuries, the psychological damage was more of a huge shock.
After all, Loki has always had a high opinion of himself and doesn't take the superheroes on Earth seriously at all.
But now, he was being ravaged by the Hulk with overwhelming power, and he had no ability to fight back at all.
The social death caused by intense frustration and shame will definitely make people start to doubt their lives involuntarily.
However, little Annie hoped that Loki could stand up again and share more of his father's firepower for her, and she immediately prepared to move closer to him and continue to use her magic to influence and hint at him...
Yes, Loki, who has always been good at changing with the wind and running away when the situation is not good, has to muster up the courage again and again because he was ambushed by this little clever guy.
It's just that because they were too young, no one noticed it.
But Zuo Si obviously saw through his daughter's little thoughts at a glance, and pretended to be kind and reminded her: "If you continue to use Loki as a cover, he might really die."
moment!
The girl stopped and looked up furtively at her father's expression, as if trying to confirm whether this was just a threat or if it could really become a reality.
Just as her eyes were rolling around, a huge red figure suddenly landed with a bang at the place where the Hulk had smashed it the first time he rushed up.
He looked to be at least four meters tall, with more than 90 percent of his body from head to toe wrapped in a heavy power armor, including the pair of huge wings with exaggerated proportions behind him.
There are even several jet-like devices under the wings, which spew out blue tail flames as a buffer when landing.
A tail like a mechanical tentacle gently hooked onto the load-bearing column on the top floor of the building, and effortlessly pulled the body weighing several tons up from the collapsed and tilted ground.
Before anyone could react to whether this monster-like behemoth was an enemy or a friend, the helmet on its head instantly opened, revealing a hideous and terrifying red devil face.
Any scholar or wizard who has studied Baator can recognize that it is a deep hell at the top of the devil's strict hierarchy.
However, he has been completely transformed by the oil, and his body has merged with the power mecha wrapped outside, becoming more dangerous and deadly than before.
The succubus queen Mecanthus selected nearly five thousand pit fiends who were identified as having "potential risk of betrayal", threw them into the sparkling oil pool for the so-called "loyalty test", and then arranged them into the Demon Astartes Legion as senior officers to build a complete command system.
In fact, in the ninth level of Baator Hell, any devil who is promoted to the level of Deep Hell Fiend will be recorded by the ubiquitous surveillance system if he dares to show the slightest dissatisfaction with his current status and promotion mechanism.
Then, under the guise of offering them higher positions, Mecanthust would summon these pit fiends to the subsidiary plane he ruled, and ask them to jump into the sparkling oil pool for a loyalty test, promising that if they passed, they would be given a high and powerful position.
For the devil, this is an irresistible temptation, so he will choose to jump in without hesitation.
The result is self-evident.
All these potential destabilizing factors were transformed into complete die-hard fans under Shuoyou's transformation.
The Succubus Queen will also fulfill her promise and entrust important positions to her own people who are impossible to betray her.
The other demons who had no idea of the inside story only envied them for getting the chance, and had no idea what it meant to jump into the oil pool and undergo transformation.
Only Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, and his steward Martinot know the secret, but they will not tell it.
"Supreme Great Lord! Our fleet has completely suppressed the enemy. Do you want to cross the wormhole and attack the other enemies hiding in the dark on the other side?"
Wanhua Hell Demon knelt on one knee and asked in a very respectful manner.
It is easy to tell from the logo embedded on the surface of the power armor on his chest that he is the supreme commander of this fleet. He is also a super new Phyrexian life form that has been greatly enhanced by the Shining Oil, or he can be called a low-level Demon Judge.
Although he may not be as good as the top judges who possess quasi-divine powers such as the Succubus Queen Mecanthust, the Khorne Angel Zariel, and the Flame Dragon Ob Nixilis, he is definitely not worse than Elenon, Jingitaxa, and the Seven Steel Lords of the Black Faction.
Especially the powerful spellcasting ability of the Hell Fiend, which was almost perfectly inherited.
"Does this mean that the established strategic goals have been achieved?"
Zuo Si asked casually.
Wanhua Hellfire nodded without hesitation: "Yes. The Chitauri fleet has been either destroyed or captured. The wormhole is basically under our control and does not pose any threat at the moment."
Hearing this, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied expression: "Very good, then stop immediately. I have no intention of going to war with Thanos right now. Remember to clean up those Chitauri soldiers who are wreaking havoc everywhere."
"As you wish."
The Wanhua Hell Demon lowered his head deeply to show almost perfect obedience, then stood up, spread his wings, started the jet engine, and flew straight out of the atmosphere and returned to the fleet's flagship.
After a while, thousands of landing capsules and unmanned attack aircraft broke into the atmosphere and began to sweep away the Chitauri who were causing damage in the city.
Because the gap in strength between the two sides was so huge, it didn't look like a battle at all, but more like a complete massacre.
Those ceramsite armors and deflection field generating devices that gave humans such headaches were no different from paper in front of the devil Astartes.
Often, one strike would turn both the person and the powered mecha into a pool of green powder of unknown composition.
The armies of various countries looked at these allies who were more terrifying and ferocious than the Chitauri and were so scared that they stayed where they were, not daring to move, for fear of doing something that would cause the other side to misunderstand.
Fortunately, their worries were completely unnecessary.
Because demons are not monsters, their strong lawful tendencies, coupled with the absolute dominance brought about by the completion of the Shining Oil, their discipline and execution far exceed any army in the history of the Earth.
Not to mention the accidental injuries to friendly forces, even the injured civilians will receive proper treatment and resettlement.
If their appearance was not a little too hideous and terrifying, many people would be willing to believe that they are the angels repeatedly mentioned in religious texts.
Especially the healing magic, which can directly pull a dying person up from the ground. To ordinary people, this is no different from a miracle. Some people who already have faith even kneel on the ground and pray devoutly.
They simply don't understand that the reason why this powerful and terrifying devil army did this has nothing to do with kindness and redemption.
It was entirely out of execution of orders from superiors.
If the order is to kill all humans on the planet without leaving a single one alive, they will also execute it without hesitation.
But unfortunately, the people on Earth do not understand this. Instead, they regard them as angels sent by God to save them, and firmly believe that these demons possess noble qualities such as kindness and goodness that mortals do not possess.
Otherwise, how do we explain their sudden and unexpected appearance, helping human civilization survive a devastating crisis?
How do you explain those magical spells that can instantly cure various diseases? Never underestimate the power of religion and faith!
Although modern social sciences are experiencing explosive growth, there are only a very small number of materialists who are truly able to remain completely unaffected.
In more than half of the countries, religion is highly integrated into society and daily life, and can even influence the political situation.
It can be predicted that after this war is completely over, these devil worshippers will inevitably cause huge waves at the entire social level.
Of course, Zuo Si didn't care about these trivial matters.
At the moment, he was grabbing his daughter's collar with one hand and lifting her up. He deliberately put on a stern face and asked in a very serious tone: "You sneaked out without my permission, and you are trying to cause trouble here. Are you ready to accept the punishment?"
"snort!"
Little Annie's performance was very tough. She neither begged for mercy nor tried to make excuses. Instead, she raised her chin with a proud look on her face.
Seeing her lovely appearance, Black Widow, the only female member of the Avengers, suddenly felt a surge of maternal love and cautiously asked, "How are you going to punish this child?"
"It's simple. Put her in solitary confinement. Because ordinary punishments don't have any effect on her at all."
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and activated his Planeswalker Spark and magical power, instantly creating a huge space barrier that directly wrapped up little Annie from head to toe. Then under the compression of the barrier, she became smaller and smaller and finally disappeared completely.
To be precise, his daughter was locked in the gap between the dark void and the real universe.
Unless you are a planeswalker, even a god cannot escape from it.
Obviously, this was the only form of punishment that could frighten little Annie.
As for spanking, which scares ordinary children, it has basically no deterrent effect on a quasi-divine power.
"Isn't solitary confinement a bit too cruel for such a young child?"
Tony Stark showed an expression of pity.
Like Natasha, he was one of the few people who knew Zuo Si's true identity, so he was very cautious in his tone and attitude.
Zuo Si raised his head and glanced at the Avengers present. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Do you have any misunderstandings about my daughter? Or do you think she is an ordinary human child?"
Steve Rogers also chimed in.
“Of course not.
Because you may not know how terrible the destructive power little Annie can cause.
在还是婴儿时期,她就在无意之中杀死了我数以万计的手下,原因仅仅只因为好奇。
看到那些漂浮在空中拧成麻花的齐塔瑞人尸体了吗?
这样的情况当时每天、每一个小时都在发生。
除此之外,她还杀死并吞噬了某个时空的神明与泰坦。
相信我,如果不严加管束的话,只要她来了兴致,脚下这颗星球在几秒钟之内就会变成真正意义上的炼狱。”
左思直截了当给出了自己这样做的理由。
相比起从出生就拥有成熟心智的黑暗王子格雷亚,仍旧处在幼年期的小安妮无疑是个连他都感到头疼的存在。
因为这个小东西的行为模式高度不可预料。
你完全无法判断出她下一秒会产生什么样的想法,又会干出怎样惊天动地的事情。
在左思的提醒下,一众复仇者这才想起了那些被瞬间干掉的倒霉齐塔瑞人,看着那血腥残忍的画面瞬间清醒过来。
尤其是经过红房子训练的黑寡妇,第一时间意识到这种没有善恶观念、更不懂得尊重生命、但却有强大力量的小姑娘有多么危险。
普通的熊孩子最多也就是残忍的虐杀一些小动物,可小安妮却能杀死成千上万的人。
她控制的那头熊仅仅只是奔跑了一段距离,就让数百辆汽车报废、好几栋大楼当场坍塌。
得亏里边的人早就跑光了,不然的话肯定会造成数以万计的伤亡。
想明白这些之后,娜塔莎颇为无奈的叹了口气:“唉——好吧,也许您是对的,我们这些凡人的确没资格干涉您教育自己的女儿。不过眼下这种局面要如何收场呢?”
“这你就要去问尼克·弗瑞和他背后的安全理事会了。我只负责履行义务解决危机,剩下都是你们自己内部的事情。哦,差点忘了关闭虫洞。”
说话的功夫,左思抬起手轻轻打了个响指。
瞬间!
上一秒还在释放能量维持地球外太空轨道巨大虫洞的宇宙魔方,下一秒就出现在他的手中完全陷入了静止状态。
如果换成一般人,在拿到无限宝石中的空间宝石后肯定会选择据为己有。
但他却在感受了一下其中所蕴含的力量后,直接将其抛给了雷神托尔。
后者下意识接住,一脸懵逼的问:“为什么给我?”
“你觉得经历了这次入侵,地球政府还敢允许神盾局继续保管与研究宇宙魔方吗?更何况阿斯加德需要它修复坏掉的彩虹桥。”
左思无疑知道“锤子哥”的政治敏感性有多低,完全没有绕弯子直截了当给出了理由。
因为这也是他跟奥丁之间签订契约的一部分。
如果没有彩虹桥的支撑,阿斯加德根本无法维系对九届的统治,更不能震慑住蠢蠢欲动的灭霸。
“对啊!我怎么就没想到呢?谢谢,你人还怪好的嘞。哈哈哈哈!”
心思单纯的托尔恍然大悟发出一阵傻笑,并且直接给左思发了好人卡。
看着雷神这幅智商明显欠费的模样,左思不由得替奥丁默哀了一秒钟。
作为一代枭雄和暴君,最终只能留下这么个拉胯的继承人,实在是有够悲哀的。
如果换成是自己,他宁愿在临死前把王位传给死亡女神海拉也不会选择托尔。
伴随着虫洞的关闭,齐塔瑞人彻底失去了后援,只能在魔鬼阿斯塔特军团的猛烈攻势下迅速被完化或是消灭。
当最后一艘的能量护盾被光矛击穿,庞大的舰体在宇宙中轰然爆炸解体,这场对地球文明造成深远影响的战争终于落下了帷幕。
凡是拥有航天能力的大国,几乎都在第一时间把自家储备的火箭拉出来,不停向地球轨道补发卫星抢占那些最好的轨道。
虽然齐塔瑞人的攻击让他们损失惨重,但却有一个好处就是把轨道上原本的卫星和大量太空垃圾全部清扫得干干净净。
安理会则透过神盾局向左思和漂浮在地球轨道外层的庞大舰队发出了会面邀请。
由于这次外星人入侵事件实在是闹得太大,所以想要像以前那样隐瞒肯定是不可能了。
所以他们改变策略,打算让魔鬼正式进入公众的视线范围内,并启动媒体等宣传机器大肆报道这群拥有压倒性力量的盟友。
如此一来,因为外星人入侵事件而导致的恐慌情绪就会迅速得到压制。
毕竟对于大多数国家而言,所谓的国防其实就是让民众相信自己的安全得到了保障。
至于真正实力如何一点都不重要。
在这方面,某嘴炮无敌的南亚大国就是最好的例子。
除此之外再就是亲眼目睹了星际战争惨烈与恐怖后,安理会的几大强国心理有了巨大的阴影,想要开始着手发展航空航天技术带领人类文明走向宇宙。
第一步先定个“小目标”,即把活动范围扩大到整个太阳系,起码建立一个完整的预警和防御体系。
所以他们想要尝试获得一些技术上的支持,甚至是直接购买现成的战舰。
就算那些最强大的战舰不卖,能买几艘俘获的齐塔瑞人战舰也是好的。
就这样,几天之后一艘作为舰队旗舰的荣光女王级战列舰和几艘被烁油完化的齐塔瑞人战舰空降大气层,停靠在联合国总部的上空。
完化的深狱炼魔代替左思露面,将这些俘获战舰的其中一艘免费赠送给地球作为象征友好的礼物,并且还当着差不多两百个国家的领导人发表了演讲,郑重承诺会保护地球免受外星人和超自然那力量的入侵,讲话结束后现场一片掌声雷动。
随后他还接受了记者的采访,无论是风度还是谈吐都让人感觉这是一个拥有极高政治素养的领导人,而不是一个有着狰狞外表的怪物。
甚至当有人冲上来献花和所要签名的时候,他也能得体的从容应对。
那种堪比教科书级别的职业素养,甚至让不少民众都觉得自己国家的政客简直就像个蠢货兼白痴。
如果他们但凡了解一点巴托地狱的魔鬼就不会感到惊讶了。
因为政治和法律可是一切有上进心魔鬼的必修课。
巴托地狱甚至设有专门的高等学府教授相关知识、技巧与不为人知的小窍门。
所以作为站在晋升顶点的深狱炼魔,随便拉出来一个都能吊打百分之九十九的政客,演讲和口才能让被称之为“恶魔低语”的小胡子自愧不如。
最终,完化深狱炼魔的这次外交活动不仅取得了圆满的成功,同时也让人们对于巴托地狱产生了强烈的向往,觉得那里有如此多这样出色的“政治家”,肯定应该宛如天堂一样美好。
不少人更是直接把魔鬼与天使画上了等号。
铺天盖地的舆论宣传与拯救了人类文明的事实,令整个社会从上到下都充斥着对异界生物的狂热感激和崇拜。
各种以信仰魔鬼的教派如同雨后春笋般冒了出来。
一些为了拉选票的政客也纷纷跟着贴上去蹭热度,以便赢得更多的支持。
但这些都不是安理会最关心的问题。
眼下他们正在神盾局总部的大楼,直接与左思本人进行交涉和谈判,渴望一次性解决太空殖民扩张的所有技术性难题。
毕竟这可不是获得一两艘战舰就能解决的。
而是包括环境改造、安全的能源供给、超远距离下的量子通讯,以及最最重要的稳定食物来源等等。
要知道太空殖民可不是脑袋一拍随随便便就能做到的。
它需要一个庞大且涉及到无数类别科技树的支撑。
而这一切,按照地球眼下的科技水平基本是一个也满足不了。
这也是为什么尼克·弗瑞所领导的神盾局明明拥有那么多黑科技,甚至还有一批斯库鲁难民提供知识和技术,可过了那么多年依旧还在地球上待着没能踏出最重要的第一步。
不是他们不想,而是真的做不到。
别看钢铁侠后来的科技已经能够做到飞出地球进入宇宙,但那都是实验室产品、用大把大把的金钱和资源堆出来的,根本不具备普及到所有人的可能性。
“所以你们终于想通了?”
左思扫了一眼手上的清单忍不住笑着反问道。
“是的,我们想通了。无论付出怎样的代价,人类都必须走出自己的母星去探索宇宙。唯有如此,我们才能避免类似的事情再一次发生。”
为首的代表斩钉截铁给出肯定答复。
左思满意的点了下头:“很好,我欣赏你们的决心和勇气,也乐意提供相应的技术。但你们应该明白世界上没有免费的午餐,清单上的这些东西都价值不菲。”
另外一名代表赶忙解释道:“我们可以继续借贷然后慢慢偿还。
毕竟一旦开始了太空殖民,即便是仅仅在太阳系内,人类的人口也会迎来一次大规模的膨胀。
只要增长速度能够达到预期,偿还起来应该不是问题。”
"Yes! We can also take the entire earth to Baator Hell for listing, issue stocks and bonds to raise more soul currency." Another representative stepped forward to add.
It must be said that their bold decision almost made Zuo Si laugh out loud.
Because when it comes to finance, it doesn't matter how smart you are, but it does matter if you don't want to play.
You dare to take the Earth directly to Baator Hell for listing? Do you think the devil can be harvested at will like retail investors in the human financial market?
Stop it! That place is a pure devil's den where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
Many kings and lords of different dimensions packaged their lands and people and listed them on the market, hoping to raise funds to purchase weapons and equipment, and even armies, and then launch wars to conquer the entire continent.
But what is the result?
Most of them were manipulated by the shrewd and cunning devil, fell into a series of traps one after another, and eventually lost everything and became slaves, with even their souls branded.
This is also the reason why Zuo Si was able to retain the title of Hell's Ace Salesman.
He not only sent his men to various planes to sign contracts to sell souls with mortals, but also created a huge market that could attract thousands of mortals to willingly offer their souls.
In addition, with the intelligence of the devils, once the door to the new world is opened, they will immediately invent many more advanced and hidden rules and gameplay.
I guarantee that even if you go in with a mountain of gold, you won’t even have anything left when you come out.
So after pretending to hesitate for a moment, Zuo Si immediately reminded with a smile: "I personally don't recommend that you package the entire planet and list it on the market.
Because the stock market in Baator is a completely free market without any policies or restrictions.
Everything is subject to the supply and demand relationship between buyers and sellers.
This also means that its risks are far greater than what you understand as the securities market.
If you are unlucky, it is common for your assets to shrink to zero value overnight."
"It's okay, we are willing to take the risk."
The leading representative had obviously discussed and reached an agreement with other representatives in private, and was completely unaware of how dangerous a step he had taken.
Seeing that it was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good intentions, Zuo Si responded indifferently: "Well, since you insist, let's talk to Alves directly. He just got promoted because of his outstanding performance, and now he is fully responsible for all business with this planet."
Before he finished speaking!
A gigantic devil appeared out of nowhere, startling the representatives present.
Because this guy looks completely different from before.
"Ah! Dear customers, we meet again. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Alves had a professional smile on his face and bowed politely with one hand on his chest.
This familiar tone and attitude immediately made the Security Council representatives present recognize him. They asked what had happened and showed great interest in the devil's promotion.
…
On the other side, on the Chitauri battleship that was donated to Earth, Iron Man and top scientists from all over the world are conducting research on powerful weapon systems, energy shield systems and superluminal engines.
However, they soon discovered the sparkling oil flowing inside that had self-repairing capabilities.
"What is this? Some kind of lubricant or fuel?"
Tony Stark stared at the black viscous liquid in front of him and asked in an uncertain tone.
Dr. Banner adjusted his glasses and replied, “I think it’s more like some kind of nano-programmable material.
You see, whenever we cause damage to the interior of the ship, this black, viscous solution will repair the damaged area.
Beyond that, I've observed that it seems to be able to break down all materials and then reassemble them at a subatomic level.
In other words, it is to change the atomic structure so that it changes from one substance to another.
Honestly, I've never seen anything so amazing.
It is like the hand of God, with almost infinite possibilities.
If we could find a way to control it, we would have unlimited resources.”
While the two were talking, another scientist nearby dropped sparkling oil on a little white mouse.
In a flash!
The little white mouse let out a painful howl.
In just a few seconds, Shuo You began to transform the creature completely, tearing its fur to reveal the blood-red muscles and blood vessels inside. At the same time, it decomposed and swallowed the container, reorganizing the large pieces of plexiglass into metal and covering the mouse's body.
Before long, it completely turned into a horrifying half-flesh, half-machine creature.
"Oh - damn! This thing looks more dangerous than we thought."
Iron Man was obviously startled and quickly took two steps back to stay away from the shiny oil on the table.
"Relax, there's no need to be so nervous. This mysterious substance only works on animals. Even if humans come into contact with it, there will be no reaction, unless you actively ask it to make some changes to certain parts of your body. I think this is the most valuable discovery on the entire spacecraft."
After that, the scientist threw the cyborg mouse into another glass container for observation with an enthusiastic look on his face.
It was easy to tell from his skillful movements that this was not the first time he had done this.
