With the emergence of Black Panther, the dispute caused by Steve·Rogers and Tony·Stark finally took place.
In just a few minutes, they showed the world how big the gap is between superheroes and ordinary military police.
Those Special Forces, who were equipped with the most advanced individual equipment including human exoskeletons and energy weapons, were completely wiped out in less than thirty seconds in their melee.
Several fully braked intelligent robots provided by US Government were dismembered into parts and thrown aside in minutes.
Unless you use an energy cannon, a terrifying weapon that can destroy a city block with a single blow, there is no way to limit these super humans with super strength, speed and reflexes.
Seeing the chaos caused by Black Panther, Captain America and Bucky running, chasing and jumping on the street, Artoria finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you let them do such boring things? If you had asked, you should be able to stop those two people easily."
"Why stop them? Don't forget, if this thorn cannot be pulled out early, it will definitely sink deeper and deeper into their hearts, eventually leading to fierce internal conflicts and divisions. In contrast, using a victory or defeat to decide right and wrong is the easiest way. You don't understand men, and you don't understand that for men, sometimes victory or defeat is often more important than right or wrong." Allen replied casually.
"So to you, this is just a game?" Artoria raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Allen smiled and shook his head, "No, this is a game for everyone. See the badge Bucky is holding? His fate will ultimately be his own choice. If he hands the badge to Tony·Stark, it means that he is willing to admit his crime and is willing to go to prison after he is done. Half his life. If he hands it over to Steve·Rogers, it means that he believes in his heart that he is innocent and does not need to bear any responsibility. Sometimes it is a good solution to let the parties make their own decisions for things that cannot be judged on a legal and moral level. Of course, the premise is that this person must not be greedy and have a minimum conscience."
"Who do you think that poor man will choose in the end?" Artoria had a strong curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. The most important reason why I propose to use this method to resolve differences is to let those governments who are trying to prevent the establishment of Earth Federation, as well as the capital forces behind them, understand a truth. That is, times have changed. In the past, through propaganda, brainwashing, and fanning The method of mobilizing populist and hateful sentiments to kidnap the people no longer makes any sense in this new era where more and more people are over Ability User. To be precise, this is a naked and undisguised warning. "Allen said his true purpose meaningfully.
"Warning?"
Artoria A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, why, is it difficult to understand?"
Allen pointed to more and more people joining the battle group below and said to himself:
"Look at the power, speed, technology and all the Superpowers they showed in battle.
What will be the consequences if you engage in criminal activities or join a terrorist organization that subverts the government?
The answer is obvious. No senior leader in any country in the world, including US Government, can ensure the safety of himself and his family.
Remember when I told you about the balance of terror theory of mutually assured destruction of nuclear weapons?
It is also applicable to them.
Under the premise that it is impossible to ensure that all ultra-Ability Users in the world can be cleared out at once, governments of various countries can only choose to continue to make concessions to these ultra-Ability Users.
Eventually, power will continue to transfer to these super Ability User.
Gradually, capital will slowly lose its grip on wealth and power.
Just like the feudal King and lords were defeated by emerging capitalism. "
"You mean... the earth will be a society dominated by super Ability User in the future?" Artoria opened his mouth in surprise.
You must know that One Punch Man's weird social system has already made her feel a little unacceptable.
"That's right! In this universe with so many superpowers, whichever civilization has more and more powerful superpowers will have an overwhelming advantage. This is a gap that cannot be bridged by any science and technology. Look at Odin, the father of the gods in Asgard, and the Supreme Mage Ancient One, the guardian of the earth, for the best proof. By the way, are you still practicing swordsmanship recently? You must know that Odin will die soon. At that time, Hela, the goddess of death, will break the seal and draw power from the entire Asgard domain, becoming a being similar to Odin. "If you don't go all out, beware of capsizing." Alan warned in a pretentious manner.
"Hmph! I won't lose!" Saber's eyes flashed with strong fighting spirit, while he raised his chin with an arrogant look.
Allen smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait and see. Oh, by the way, please go to the alien planet and inform Sakura. If you find that Thanos has any intention to attack Xandar, ask her to come back immediately."
"Come back immediately? Why?" Artoria frowned and asked.
Ever since she learned about Thanos's strength, she didn't feel at all that Sakura, who had mastered the ability to freeze souls, would be at a disadvantage in a head-on battle.
Even if Thanos masters one or two of Infinity Stones, the result will not change much.
"Because the moment you gather six Infinity Stones and snap your fingers, except for me who has the same power, neither you nor she can resist the obliteration that is almost the same as the rules. I don't want to bet on the 1/2 chance, or wait for Banner to resurrect you five years later." Allen explained angrily.
You must know that the moment Thanos snapped his fingers, even the Sorcerer Supreme History Tiffin Strange selected by the Trinity Vishanti turned into ashes.
With the strength of Saber and Sakura, it is impossible to resist.
Unless...
Unless they leave this universe and go to Azerath to take refuge.
"Understood, I will convey these words to her intact." Artoria nodded thoughtfully.
She is not a fool and knows how amazing power six Infinity Stones can be when they come together.
After all, he can even do something as exaggerated as creating a universe, let alone obliterating one or two people.
At the same time, the new Imperial Capital at the other end of the universe, Sakura as Queen, was sitting in her own seat, playing with the Casket of Ancient Winters in her hand.
At this moment, this treasure that originally belonged to the Frost Giants family has been transformed beyond recognition.
Especially the size, it has changed from the size of a cardboard box to the size of a toy Rubik's Cube in the palm of your hand.
Its surface is densely covered with all kinds of strange runes and Magic Circuit.
Obviously, Sakura used her lifelong learning to successfully transform Casket of Ancient Winters into her own unique magic equipment.
Whenever magic is injected into it, the entire treasure box will release bright light and biting chill.
It only takes a blink of an eye for a planet to reach a state of Infinity close to Absolute Zero.
However, Sakura was obviously not very satisfied with this thing, and she always felt that something was missing.
Just as she was thinking hard, a portal suddenly opened out of thin air, and Guardian Steward followed by Sky City - Edna Bevin came from the other side holding a sealed container, put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply. "Lady Sakura, I have sent you some interesting materials."
"Oh? What is it?" Sakura asked, staring at the container with interest.
Although she is the founder and supreme ruler of this New Empire, she rarely manages it on weekdays. She completely delegates power to her subordinates and lets them do whatever they want.
He was hiding in the palace, studying various strange objects and advanced technologies collected by his men.
If Allen hadn't explicitly prohibited it, she would have wanted to get those Infinity Stones over and study it.
Among them, the most interesting thing I have come across so far is some Minerals essence mined from Knowhere Celestials skulls.
It is with the help of those mysterious substances that the upgrade and transformation of Casket of Ancient Winters can finally be completed.
Edna·Bevin did not speak, but put the container down and quickly chanted a spell to open the seal.
The next second...
A broken, huge body made entirely of unknown metal appeared out of thin air in the open space of the palace.
There is no doubt that this is nothing else, but the body of Azerath Universe Pantheon, a certain Titans.
When Sargeras slaughtered Pantheon, Edna·Bevin secretly carried Allen on his back, kept the damaged body, and transferred it to Space City for sealing and preservation.
"This is..."
Sakura's eyes shone slightly, undoubtedly attracted by the huge and abundant Arcane Energy.
"This is a Titan's corpse. Although Lord Allen prohibits anyone from interfering with the process of that universe, I still kept it when no one was paying attention. I believe this thing should help you go further."
When saying these words, Edna Bevin's tone revealed naked and unabashed admiration.
After all, her first allegiance has always been Sakura, not Allen.
"Titans? That's it."
After realizing what the wreckage in front of her was, Sakura immediately took action and began to chant a spell to extract all the remaining matter and energy from the broken body, and once again upgraded and transformed the Frost Box.
This time, she is no longer obsessed with the pure power of frost, but injects the most essential magic Arcane into it.
Especially the charms used by Titans and Arcane magic have greatly expanded the versatility of the treasure box.
The entire spellcasting process lasted for several days without sleep.
When it was over, although the treasure box still shone with a chilling cold light, the violet color symbolizing Arcane could already be vaguely seen in the cold light.
In addition, from now on, it can no longer simply be called Casket of Ancient Winters, but should be called Arcane Casket.
Titans's broken body and energy give this treasure the foundation to control everything Arcane power.
Next, Sakura only needs to go to Allen and ask for an authority related to Arcane Energy, and she can immediately exert terrifying power that is unimaginable for mortals.
Even with just one blow, the entire star system can be dragged into Arcane Torrent and completely shattered.
"Congratulations! You have created an amazingly powerful Divine Artifact." Edna Bevin bent down and complimented with a look of joy.
"Compared to Allen's bow and sword made of Neutron Star material, mine is nothing."
Although Sakura was very happy, she was obviously still a little self-aware.
With her current strength, there is no way she can handle and shape materials with terrifying density like Neutron Star core.
After playing with "Arcane Casket" in her hand for a while, Sakura suddenly asked without looking back, "Has anything interesting happened on Earth recently?"
"As far as I know, they are all trivial matters and not worthy of attention at all. However, Lord Allen seems to have given an order to Master Artoria, asking her to inform you in a few days to return to Sky City when Thanos starts collecting Infinity Stones."
Edna·Bevin told everything he knew.
Because this is not a secret in itself, as Guardian Steward, she got the news immediately.
"Go back? Why?"
Sakura is obviously still holding back her energy and wants to fight Thanos who holds Infinity Stones.
Edna·Bevin carefully explained, "Because Lord Allen believes that when Thanos collects six Infinity Stones and adds gloves, it is equivalent to mastering the authority of the entire universe. The strength of you and Artoria is simply not enough to fight against such authority. So you will have a 1/2 chance of being eliminated on the spot."
"You mean, he is concerned about my safety?" Sakura's eyes flashed with joy.
"Of course! Lord Allen has always cared about you very much. After all, only you and Master Artoria are his relatives and partners." Edna·Bevin responded in the affirmative without hesitation.
"But why doesn't he come by himself?" Sakura narrowed her eyes and asked.
The speed with which she changes her face fully demonstrates the suspicion and fickleness of a woman.
"Uh... Lord Allen has been busy cultivating an intimate relationship with a girl named Wanda recently. Because she has a connection point of Pluto Hisoka in her body. Lord Allen wants to use her, Dark Egg and Darkhold The three things are directly connected to Vishanti of White Magic Root, thereby tearing apart Root and taking away part of the highest authority of Dark Magic and White Magic."
When saying these words, Edna·Bevin lowered his head and did not dare to look at Sakura's face.
She could feel that the mistress to whom she was loyal was emitting an emotion called jealousy.
In fact, this sentiment often appeared when targeting Artoria.
In the end, Sakura just snorted and ended the topic.
Edna·Bevin wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples, quickly opened the portal and fled...
