As a lawful evil plane, the essence of Baator is based on countless laws, rules, temptations, oppression, and slavery.
Even in the huge cyberpunk city that claims to be the most "free" and "democratic" place where people can basically do whatever they want, this core operating logic is still followed.
It's just that it is covered with a layer of gorgeous camouflage here, so that people who don't know it will mistakenly think that the ninth level is different from other places and is a place like a "paradise".
But for the gang members who have lived here for a long time and integrated into the power structure, they obviously know very well how terrifying it is to be the lord who is the source of all power and authority in the ninth plane.
You don't even need to take action yourself. Just express your dissatisfaction and disgust towards a certain person or group, and naturally there will be a lot of rich and powerful people willing to step forward and deal with these unfortunate guys, just to leave a good impression in front of the lord.
There is no doubt that this is the tremendous influence that absolute power brings.
Although Zuo Si never actually used it, its influence was everywhere.
Just like what was happening before his eyes, even though he had clearly done nothing and said nothing, just standing there, more than a hundred guild members, six legendary wizards, twelve high-level spellcasters, two liches and a legendary fire giant noble, all knelt on the ground in silence.
Even the two hybrid humans and orcs who almost had close contact with Black Widow and staged an action blockbuster jumped up and pulled up their pants at the first moment.
Even Hawkeye, who had been beaten unconscious and had blood all over his face, could sense the pervasive oppression and fear.
Iron Man was struggling to pry off the broken iron armor on his body and climb out of the metal coffin.
As for the Black Widow, whose power armor had been dismantled long ago and even the black tights and shorts inside had been torn to shreds, leaving her almost naked, she no longer cared about covering her exposed figure. She quickly picked up the guns and a special glove named "Widow's Sting" that had fallen not far away, and then knocked to the ground those guys who had ill intentions towards her and kicked them hard between her legs.
The latter's miserable screams and the sound of some fragile organs shattering made all the men present involuntarily clamp their legs together.
But what made Natasha Romanov feel incredible was that these guys who had been so ferocious just now were now like being under mind control or magic. They did not make any moves to resist or evade, but allowed herself to take revenge.
What's even more terrifying is that no matter how serious their injuries are, even if their bones are broken, they will endure the pain and quickly get up and resume their kneeling posture.
Obviously, in the eyes of these people, the fear of Zuo Si is far greater than dying at the hands of the Black Widow.
Because the latter is at most physical death, and can be resurrected through magic such as making wishes and resurrection.
But if you offend the lord of the ninth level, the consequences will be much more serious, and even the wish may not work.
Seeing that this group of guys who were very fierce before did not fight back or retaliate, Black Widow immediately stopped attacking, raised her head and stared with a slightly puzzled look at Zuo Si, who had been standing there without saying a word since he appeared.
After more than ten seconds, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you here specifically to rescue us?"
"No, I just don't want you to die on my territory. That might cause a series of troubles. Especially Thor. I have signed a contract with his father Odin."
Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he raised his hand and instantly cast a nine-ring [Freedom Spell].
moment!
Two portals opened out of nowhere, and a confused Thor and the Hulk appeared out of nowhere.
Needless to say, these two guys with obviously low IQs were either trapped by the maze spell or the confinement spell.
Especially the labyrinth technique, which can teleport people directly to a maze in another dimension.
When you can get out depends entirely on your intelligence-related sense of space, sense of direction and memory.
It's clear that Thor has never been a smart person, and is even a bit stupid to a large extent.
Hulk is more like a child who has not grown up, and is often dominated by anger and turned into a beast who only knows how to vent through destruction.
Expecting these two to calm down and use their brains to find the correct exit in the huge and complex extra-dimensional maze is harder than climbing to the sky.
"Roar!!!! Hulk is going to crush you bunch of sinister and cunning villains!"
The Hulk was obviously very angry about the maze, and without saying a word he rushed towards the lich who had cast a spell on him before.
But before he could grab something and throw it over, Zuo Si used a maze spell to exile him again. His disdainful attitude and look were like driving away a nasty pest.
Unlike many people who are fascinated by the Hulk's power, which becomes stronger the angrier he gets, he has never liked this fat guy who has no self-control and is always accompanied by violence and destruction.
If he had to choose between Dr. Banner and Hulk, Zuo Si would choose to keep the former and kill the latter without hesitation.
The Hulk's fate immediately calmed Thor, who was also about to swing his hammer to attack. He looked around and asked in an uncertain tone: "What happened? Why are these guys kneeling?"
"Nothing. They are just expressing their respect and love to the great devil prince, Lord Soth, the lord of the ninth layer of Baator Hell."
Gramiel stepped forward with an elegant and charming step and explained with a smile, while sweeping a warning look over the guys.
"That's right! That's right! It's the honor of our lifetime to meet the honorable Lord!"
"Praise you! Great Devil Prince!"
"Please allow us to kiss the soles of your shoes to express our highest respect to you!"
"You are the truth! You are the law! You are order! You are the eternal scorching sun that is supreme in everyone's heart!"
…
As the gang members kneeling on the ground hurriedly nodded their heads and kept saying words of praise that were both disgusting and flattering, the Avengers present were stunned. They couldn't believe that these people were the ones who almost killed them before.
Facts have proved that as long as one is strong enough and possesses awe-inspiring power, there will naturally be more "good people" around him, or even no "bad people" at all.
This is not because the bad guys have disappeared, but because everyone has hidden their malicious intent and dares not expose it easily.
Because when the strength is completely unequal, it is a very dangerous and suicidal act to rashly show malice towards someone who is stronger than oneself.
Gramiel was obviously very satisfied with the gang member's understanding and simply waved his hand.
"Go away! Remember to forget everything that happened today. If I hear any crazy talk, you should know how serious the consequences will be."
"Please rest assured. If anyone dares to reveal a single word, I will personally pull out his soul and give it to you."
The leading legendary lich made a solemn promise, then turned around and fled with the people and the bodies of the dead from the alley that had been reduced to ruins in the battle.
You must know that as the huge cyberpunk city continues to expand outward, it is now far larger than any known administrative system can rule and manage.
Therefore, there are many lawless blocks and alleys like this located on the outer edges.
Their most typical characteristics are that they are darker, more decadent, and more depraved, filled with temptations that are difficult to describe in words.
As long as the guests were willing to pay enough money, they could even buy a living slave, then kill, dismember and eat the slave on the spot.
A guy like Hannibal who eats his own kind is nothing in a place like this.
There are many people who are more twisted, sick, and crazy than him.
In addition, there are various powerful addictive drugs with serious side effects, as well as various strange entertainment methods that can release the evil desires in one's heart.
Gangs of all sizes in the city are entrenched near these blocks and use them as their own "territory."
In fact, in order to allow the souls entering the ninth level to continue to fall to deeper levels on a "voluntary" basis, the huge cyberpunk city was divided into three parts during its design.
Part of this is the “safe zone” that most visitors enter upon their first arrival.
This area occupies the largest area, almost more than 60%, and is densely covered with various monitoring equipment. Law enforcement personnel can also respond in less than a minute through the portal.
Therefore, serious crimes rarely occur in this area, and even petty thefts are very rare. Although most entertainment venues are very extravagant, in the final analysis, they can still be accepted or tolerated by most normal people.
The second part is the completely lawless area "Black Street".
As the name suggests, there are no law enforcement agencies in this kind of place at all. Gangs of all sizes have taken their place as the builders and maintainers of order.
The purpose of their existence is to provide a fast lane for those souls who like to pursue excitement and have certain dark desires in their hearts to continue to corrupt and degenerate.
At the beginning, the leaders of these gangs were high-level devils loyal to the lord of the ninth level.
Later, as the entire huge industrial chain developed, they withdrew little by little and delegated power to those lucky ones who were chosen.
Of course, even though they withdrew, they still left behind a large number of unknown spies and agents within the thousands of gangs.
Finally, there is the gray transition zone between the safe zone and the black street.
In short, Zuo Si fully absorbed the "advantages" and "characteristics" of the American judicial system and personally created a dream city with clear levels and boundaries.
The safe zone is designed to give first-time visitors a false sense of security, causing them to subconsciously relax their guard and begin to enjoy this extravagant life, and then gradually become addicted to it.
You have to know that desire has a threshold.
When the products and services in the safe zone can no longer satisfy the ever-expanding desires, people will naturally begin to try to seek stronger stimulation in the gray area, and eventually be led little by little to the black street full of taboos.
The most important thing is that when a soul starts to enter the underworld, it means that it is on the harvest list and may disappear inexplicitly at any time. Then it will appear in the torture chamber and be drained of all memories, emotions and personality until it becomes a soul body and is thrown into the incubation pit for transformation.
So to some extent, the huge cyberpunk city can be regarded as an assembly line factory that continuously produces corrupted souls and processes them into energy and demons.
Previously, the Human League had always stayed in the safe zone, so they knew basically nothing about the situation in the black street.
All their information comes from rumors and gossip revealed by some "insiders" in the pub, and its authenticity may not be even one percent.
The Avengers' reckless investigation and near-annihilation proved this point.
If they really knew what was going on in the underworld, they would immediately order an end to the pursuit of the fugitive financial expert.
When all the gang members disappeared around the corner at the end of the alley, Thor finally came back to his senses and asked in disbelief, "Why did they act like mice seeing a cat when they saw you? Those bastards weren't like that just now."
"It's simple, this is my territory.
I can make them live a life worse than death anytime I want.
In addition, I sincerely suggest that you withdraw from the Avengers as soon as possible and stop getting involved in these things.
Because the people on Earth will soon break out of their home planet and start the process of colonial expansion.
At that time, they will have conflicts and even wars with many forces.
And your identity as the Crown Prince of Asgard is so sensitive.
If misunderstandings arise in the outside world, it will be of no benefit to either the Earth or Asgard.
Besides, your father, the God King, whose life span is about to end, can't afford an all-out battle."
Zuo Si reached out and gently patted the other person's shoulder, giving advice to this Thunder God who had almost no political talent.
With the advent of a new era, the future has undergone drastic changes. He doesn't want to have to clean up the mess for the other party every time an emergency occurs.
"What? Humanity is going to start colonial expansion?"
Thor's eyes widened in surprise.
In his impression, the civilization of Earthlings was still in its primitive stage, needing the protection of Asgard. How come they suddenly entered the space age?
Also feeling unbelievable were Hawkeye, who had just taken a healing potion, and Black Widow, who had just put on some random clothes.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right.
Maybe you don't know, but not long ago, a civil war broke out between the Human Alliance and Hydra, which was parasitic inside SHIELD
As a result, nearly 10 million people in London disappeared, the British Empire disintegrated, and even the royal family disappeared completely.
Today's New Alliance has not only broken the restrictions between countries through reforms, but also accepted Grant Ward, who led part of Hydra to revolt against Alexander Pierce at a critical moment.
In short, a lot of things happened on Earth during your absence, and it can even be described as earth-shaking."
"What? Hydra! Wasn't this organization destroyed during World War II? How could it be parasitic in SHIELD?"
Black Widow was obviously very sensitive about this kind of thing, and she immediately asked with a frown.
Unlike other members of the team who either have powerful forces behind them or have their own families or careers, she sold herself directly to SHIELD, so she attached great importance to this matter.
Zuo Si responded directly: "This matter is a bit difficult to explain. You'd better go back and ask Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Phil Coulson. By the way, Maria Hill has just been dismissed because of her unsatisfactory performance in this incident. The current director of SHIELD is Coulson."
Just when the Avengers were so shocked by this series of heavy news that they were speechless, Tony Stark, who had been lying on the ground unable to move for a long time, finally couldn't help but yelled, "Damn it! Can someone help me! This damn armor is stuck and I can't get out at all."
"Oh, sorry, I thought you could figure it out on your own with that smart head of yours."
Zuo Si deliberately mocked the arrogant Iron Man with a slightly mocking tone, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers, allowing the paralyzed armor to immediately return to normal.
You know, he had already reminded the other party that it is best not to rely too much on very "fragile" equipment such as armor, but to continue to explore his talent in magic.
But alas, like all people with huge egos, Tony Stark didn't listen.
As a result, tragedy struck as soon as they arrived at the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level of Baator.
If the legendary wizards and high-level spellcasters had some reservations when dealing with the Hulk and Thor, and even chose despicable tactics of exile and isolation, then just one Nine-Ring Great Disintegration was enough to deal with him.
It was this one blow that caused the entire extremely expensive armor to be scrapped on the spot. During the entire battle process, there was no output, no assistance, and no control. It was lying on the ground waiting to die from the very beginning. It could not even last as long as the pure technology power armor worn by Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Moreover, even if the latter's armor was broken, he could take it off immediately, instead of being locked in a sturdy metal coffin like him.
"Fuck! You can't blame me! Who would have thought that among a group of gang thugs there would be several great wizards who could cast seven-ring, eight-ring, nine-ring, and even legendary magic?" Tony Stark retorted with a flushed face, getting up from the ground.
Zuo Si sneered and rolled his eyes: “Come on, stop making excuses for your failure.
What do you think the ninth level of Baator is? Is it a low-magic world like Earth with very few spellcasters? No! It is the most prosperous and bustling outer plane in the universe, attracting hundreds of millions of visitors every day.
Any passerby here could be a big shot in his world.
Those guys who seem to have extraordinary aura and are full of charm might actually be the incarnation of some god or saint.
So don't think of this place as a place like Earth where you can do whatever you want. Instead, you must always be respectful and learn to abide by the laws and rules here.
As a plane that tends to be lawful, anyone who does not follow the rules will be rejected by the will of the plane.
Especially those gangs that you look down upon, as long as they are willing, they have the ability to invade and conquer a main material plane or planet at any time, and then take it for themselves.
You think you're cleaning rats out of the sewers?
In fact, you are unscrupulously making ridicules and provocations in a mountain range full of evil dragons.
Oh, and where's Steve Rogers?
Why don't I see any sign of him?"
In contrast, the Avengers all showed very strange expressions.
After half a minute, Iron Man replied helplessly: "The captain had an accident and has been separated from us since three days ago."
"Um?"
Zuo Si obviously noticed something and immediately turned his gaze to the sexy and charming Pleasure Demon Secretary beside him.
The latter quickly stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Steve Rogers was accidentally controlled by the Mind Flayer's mind slavery circle. He is now performing hard every day in a strip club to satisfy the special fetishes of various customers."
"You mean... he's a gigolo?!"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
You have to know that Captain America is a very traditional and conservative person. Even if his companions use bad words, they may be lectured by him.
When Zuo Si thought of the eye-catching image of this woman in briefs standing on a high platform, shaking her butt and dancing on a pole, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"No, he's not a gigolo. The customers of the club he works in are not women, but men."
Gramir raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke the truth meaningfully.
moment!
Zuo Si immediately understood the Avengers' strange reactions.
Good boy! It seems he is selling his ass!
Gouzi Literature never deceives me!
As a person who likes to watch the fun and is not afraid of big trouble, Zuo Si decisively decided to go and have a look.
After the Hulk was repeatedly imprisoned in the extra-dimensional maze, his anger gradually subsided and he turned back into Dr. Banner, the group, led by Gramiel, passed through the most chaotic and dangerous area of the black street and headed to a club more than 80 kilometers away.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he could see a large number of men dressed in seductive and eye-catching clothes walking in and out with their arms around each other. The "anxious" atmosphere made Tony Stark, a straight man, feel extremely uncomfortable and nauseous.
Thor, the God of Thunder, almost swung his hammer to smash a "monster" who came up to him and wanted to touch his pectoral muscles into a meat paste.
As for the beautiful Black Widow who is loved by everyone, she has completely become the most despised and hated existence here.
Some men even looked at her viciously as if she were dirty.
"Damn, this place is terrible! I can't believe the captain would stoop so low as to associate with these people."
There was an obvious hint of anger in Hawkeye's tone.
Apparently, he had no idea that Steve Rogers was being controlled by the Mind Flayer's slavery collar.
Because this thing is a combination of psychic technology and biological technology.
Once worn on the slave's neck, it will quickly merge with the skin and capillaries, leaving only a faint mark.
This is why all slaves captured by the Mind Flayers who want to break free from their control are either forcibly taken away from the influence of the Hivemind and the Mind Flayers, or the Hivemind is directly destroyed and all the Mind Flayers around are killed.
Otherwise, simply trying to remove a collar that has been embedded in the skin and muscles is basically a pipe dream.
If not handled properly, it may even cut the trachea and aorta and cause death.
Zuo Si gently pulled the hood on his head to cover his face, ignored the complaints of others, paid the entrance fee and walked straight in.
After passing through a dark and narrow corridor, the space in front of me suddenly became bright. Not only did the lights become much brighter, but there were also constantly rotating and changing 3D projections and colorful lights.
The decoration style is similar to all similar business places, and there is a long bar closest to the entrance.
It’s just that those beauties dressed coolly and sexy have all been replaced by either rough and muscular men, or handsome and thin guys.
The guests drank wine and enjoyed various drugs that could bring more intense sensory stimulation, while surrounding the circular stage and cheering for the dancers who were twisting their bodies while holding onto the poles. Occasionally, someone would throw money upwards or put a check into the belt of their briefs.
On the big stage in the center was the most popular "top star" Captain America, Steve Rogers.
This guy seemed like a completely different person now. Not only was he very enthusiastic and open, but he also learned without any instruction how to use some techniques to arouse the desires of the customers and make them pay more money on their own initiative.
"Oh my god! I didn't know he could do that! This world has gone crazy!"
Dr. Banner was completely stunned, obviously deeply shocked. He didn't even dare to drink the drink he had just bought and just returned the cup.
Because I suddenly felt that all the cups here must have been used by those thirsty "guests".
The thought of this inevitably made him feel strongly nauseated.
As a scientist, Dr. Banner knew very well that these cups had been cleaned and sterilized and there were basically no hygiene risks.
But even though I know it, I still can't accept it emotionally.
It's like someone took a thoroughly sterilized and cleaned laboratory cockroach, soaked it in your bowl of soup or drink for a while, and then let you drink it.
Even though people know it is harmless, not many people have the courage to drink it.
As everyone was watching Captain America's thrilling dance on the stage, Iron Man suddenly asked the artificial intelligence on the armor: "Jarvis, did you take pictures of all this?"
"Of course, sir. But I don't recommend that you keep it or use it as a means to blackmail Mr. Steve Rogers in the future. That would be too despicable and ungentlemanly."
Jarvis' voice came through the speakers.
Needless to say, with the influx of more and more advanced technologies and in-depth research on spark oil, Tony Stark has found a way to cram artificial intelligence into a suit of armor.
"Are you still in the mood to fool around now?"
Black Widow glared at this childish and immature teammate.
But Iron Man responded nonchalantly: "Why rush? Lord Soth will help us bring back the familiar Captain America. But if we don't record this famous scene now, we probably won't have the chance in the future."
“That makes sense!”
Thor nodded in agreement, then took out an electronic device similar to a mobile phone from his trouser pocket, turned on the video function and started filming as well.
"Oh my god! Can you two be any more childish?"
Black Widow rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Then she found that the mature Dr. Banner and Hawkeye beside her had also joined the group. She was speechless and couldn't help but sneered: "Heh - men!"
“The biggest difference between men and women is that men remain young until they die.
Even if they are old and gray, they will still be as happy as they were in their childhood when they get a stick that fits them, and will argue over the outcome of a small game until their faces turn red.
This simplest, purest, even stupid happiness is something that women will never be able to understand.
So when men are no longer controlled by the instinctive desires of their lower body, they often prefer to be with other men rather than with their wives, girlfriends and lovers. "
Zuo Si glanced at the lubricant who was specially assigned to the Avengers team with a smile.
Obviously, in terms of combat capability and professional skills, Natasha Romanoff was not qualified to join.
Because the original intention of the Avengers was to make those alien forces who wanted to invade the earth and destroy human civilization hesitate.
Once the earth is destroyed and humanity perishes, these superheroes will transform into Avengers and launch crazy revenge on their enemies without any bottom line.
However, her spy skills and beauty are basically of no use when dealing with aliens. At best, she is just a supporting role. Her combat effectiveness may not even be as good as Hawkeye, who can use various special arrows.
The main reason why Nick Fury brought him in was to eliminate potential threats and internal conflicts in the team.
Whether it was taming the Hulk, developing a close relationship with Dr. Banner that went beyond friendship, or later doing his best to mend the rift between Captain America and Iron Man during the Avengers' split Civil War, all of this proved this point.
In fact, no one knows whether the romance between Black Widow and Dr. Banner comes from the heart or is a task assigned to her by Director Lu Dan.
And she is really good at using her female identity to get between the male members of the team.
"What about you? Is it the same for you?" Natasha Romanov asked back with a pursed mouth.
Zuo Si answered without hiding anything: "That's right. I actually have a lot of little hobbies that are unknown to others. For example, when I have nothing to do, I like to stay with those furry animals. Another example is to help some males who are suffering from estrus to perform sterilization surgery."
"Oh? I didn't expect that you, as a demon god, are surprisingly kind."
Natasha's eyes flashed with surprise.
She obviously didn't realize that Zuo Si's level of affection was not just as simple as his love of keeping pets and having his pets sterilized, but that he was a highly concentrated Fury addict and an egg-destroying maniac.
And I also have very, very, very severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This can be seen from the huge cyberpunk cities and the almost 100% completely symmetrical urban layout of the West Coast Empire.
While the two were talking, the competent pleasure demon secretary Gramil had already completed the negotiations with the owner of the club, successfully got Captain America off the stage, and removed the terrible Mind Flayer mind control ring through magic.
When Steve Rogers regained consciousness, saw his current eye-catching attire, the ferocious eyes of the customers around him, and the things he had done in the past few days, he instantly exploded on the spot and squatted on the ground, wailing in despair.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!! Almighty God! What...what have I done these days? It's over! I'm unclean! I'm defiled! Clothes! Give me clothes and pants!"
Seeing Captain America's collapsed look, Glamir took off his suit jacket and put it on him, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, don't look so desperate. You are a man, you must be strong. Besides, this is the ninth level of Baator Hell, not your hometown. As long as your companions don't tell others, no one will know."
"companion?"
Steve Rogers suddenly came to his senses and began to look for other Avengers in the crowd, only to see Dr. Banner and others pointing electronic devices at him.
So the two groups just stared at each other with wide eyes. The scene became very awkward for a while, and even the air around them became frozen.
Maybe he realized that his behavior was indeed a bit excessive, or maybe he felt ashamed when he was caught secretly taking photos...
In short, everyone subconsciously put away their filming equipment and pretended nothing had happened.
But Captain America obviously didn't buy it. After a brief silence, he immediately rushed forward to grab it, intending to delete all the negative information about himself, and even forgot to take revenge on the boss behind the club.
Admiring the chaotic scene in front of him, Zuo Si, whose entire face was hidden under the hood, couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Finally it's done. I hope these guys will never come to Baator again. They simply can't adapt to such a complex and ever-changing environment, and their knowledge of various magic and supernatural powers is seriously insufficient."
"My dear lord, do you need me to help you send them back?"
Gramir walked straight up and took his master's arm, then pressed himself against him.
Since she had just taken off her coat, her upper body was only covered with a translucent silk shirt, which allowed one to clearly see the color and style of the underwear underneath, as well as the soft touch when physical contact was made.
"No need, just notify the Human Rights Union to pick them up. Also, where is the wanted guy hiding now?"
Zuo Si suddenly remembered the financial expert who caused this series of consequences.
Because if it weren't for his private operations, the Human Union would never have suddenly owed such a huge debt, and Hydra would not have been able to take advantage of the situation and launch a power seizure operation.
"That guy should have been sent to the church of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, by mercenaries and adventurers in exchange for the bounty."
Gramiel quickly gave a definite answer through his intelligence network.
"Wojin? Hasn't she always despised finance and virtual economy? Why is she suddenly interested in such a person?"
Zuo Si showed a very puzzled expression.
Gramiel responded with a smile: “Although this goddess of wealth sneers at finance, she is very interested in those high-quality physical assets.
When some stocks were artificially manipulated to fall far below their actual value, she and her followers would buy them all.
By acquiring high-quality bankrupt assets at low prices, Waukeen has become one of the most powerful consortiums in the city besides us.
If nothing unexpected happens, she should want to use Kabol's ability in this area to acquire more real estate for herself in the stock market."
"Making profits from playing with virtual assets and then acquiring real industries? It seems that our goddess of wealth has realized the correct way to use finance."
Zuo Si couldn't help but smiled and gave his own evaluation.
After all, on Earth, the starting point of finance is to serve ocean trade and the real economy.
However, later on, in order to ease domestic class contradictions, developed countries took the initiative to deindustrialize and transferred low-value-added and highly polluting industries to underdeveloped regions. They then plundered and reaped the benefits of the latter through the continuous issuance of bonds and various financial instruments, which eventually led to the strange phenomenon of finance taking over.
Everyone knows that this system built on so-called "investor confidence" is a bubble that will burst sooner or later and trigger a terrible disaster.
But there are still countless people who believe that they are the smart and lucky ones who can get ashore before the ship sinks.
Especially those huge bonds issued by the government, which clearly represent debts that can never be repaid, but simply because a certain amount of interest is paid every year, they can be packaged as "assets" and sent to the financial market for trading and sale.
Many also consider it one of the most stable ways to invest.
You must know that if the same operation is done by an individual, it would be an outright Ponzi scheme.
There is even a strange phenomenon that the more financially developed a country is, the more bleak and unprofitable its real industry tends to be.
In Zuo Si's eyes, this financial operation model is full of bugs from head to toe has long reached a dead end.
Whether it is the huge national debt or the inflated financial markets that have little real value, it is only a matter of time before they collapse.
Because of currency, currency, the goods come first and the currency comes second.
If a currency lacks the goods to support its purchasing power, then it will be just a piece of waste paper and have no value.
Fortunately, although the finance in the huge cyberpunk city is a huge casino, it all corresponds to physical assets.
Especially as the strongest currency in the lower plane - soul, it is always in a state of supply exceeding demand.
"Do you need me to go and get the man named Kabol?" Gramil asked cautiously.
"That's not necessary. This person no longer has any political value or significance to the current Human Union. Let him continue to display his talents in Baator."
After saying this, Zuo Si left the sexy and charming Witch of Pleasure secretary behind him and disappeared on the spot without paying attention to the latter's resentful look.
He couldn't wait to see the research progress of Jingitashya and Vashtor, as well as the famous "Cave Tree" of New Phyrexia.
Previously, Glamir was able to teleport directly to the Earth of the Marvel Universe because that time and space were connected by a branch of the Cave Realm Tree.
