But on second thought, Loki felt this was not without its benefits. The huge number of demons and monsters on Earth might not be very safe for Asgard, but they were even more dangerous to outsiders.
The division of power among interstellar civilizations was actually quite simple. The most advanced civilization within a region was the lord. For example, the Shi'ar Empire was the lord of its region, while all civilizations beneath it belonged to its subjects.

And in a feudal system, when the Son of Heaven was in trouble, the feudal lords were supposed to come to his aid. You never heard of someone attacking the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven having to send troops to protect the feudal lords.
