Thanos's Backroom Deal / Invade Tokyo, Capture the Emperor Alive

In other words, the opposing side can muster at least 20 or more high -Main God Level warriors.

In addition, the Frost Giant King Mimer and the Fire Giant King Surtur, although one lost the Ancient Eastern Coffin and the other had half of the Eternal Flame stolen.

However, based on the Asgardian Temple's experience in fighting enemies, they can at least maintain their God King-tier.

In addition, there's Hela, a quasi-god-king who can completely overwhelm the Thor and Loki duo, and the opposing team has three quasi-god-kings at their disposal.

Even more deadly is that Thanos himself has surpassed the level of the God-King. In a one-on-one fight, no one on Earth could match him.

Perhaps this is the God King that Rui Mengmeng was talking about.

With at least 20 main gods, plus 3 quasi-god kings and 1 God King, Earth's current power is basically unable to withstand such a powerful lineup.

As everyone reviewed the data analysis repeatedly, their expressions gradually turned grim.

Just as Kevin was about to reveal the data on Earth's advanced military capabilities, the Ruins of Kunlun, Flower Fruit Mountain, and the Himalayan Temple all simultaneously erupted with a surge of energy.

The man's eyes lit up, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he had been relieved.

Quasi-God Kings! Ah Fu, the Great Sage, and even that Mr. Holmes have all broken through!

It seems the situation isn't as bad as I thought; there's still a chance.

Kevin smiled slightly and, after temporarily altering some data, presented the Earth's current high-end combat capabilities to everyone.

At most, there could be 17 people at the Main God Level rank.

There are two members within the Honkai system: the Original Elf Muramasa Reine and the Final Herrscher Kiana...

There are seven Asgardian God Clan: Thor, Loki, Queen Frigga, Valkyrie God of Fertility Valkyrie, Sif, Heimdall Warriors Three, Giant Wolf...

Within the Avengers, Captain Marvel, Hulk, Phoenix Jean Wanda Scarlet Witch possess Main God Level potential, but they still need to be explored and nurtured.

In the Super God Academy, the Sun Goddess Reina, whose encryption was deciphered, Crocodile God Soton, who was subdued, are both at the Main God Level.

On the Schrodinger Company's side, Thunder, the Imperial Army Commander, has broken through to the level of a main god.

Zero, the Oldest One Diva of the SCP Foundation, can also be considered as having the potential to become Main God Level.

Compared to Titan Star, the difference of about three places is acceptable, considering that the attitude of Lieyang Star is unclear and has not been included.

As for the quasi-god kings, there are more than on Titan Star, about five.

Heavenly Base King Hexi, Nine Heavens Xuannü Fu Hua, Victorious Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong, Judgment Angel Kevin, and the Sorcerer Supreme. Doctor Strange who received the inheritance.

Overall, with the breakthroughs achieved by the three individuals, the gap between Earth and Titan Star is no longer as insurmountable as it once was.

Just as everyone was discussing, Doctor Strange habitually cosplayed as Sherlock Holmes, emerged from the sparkling Spatial vortex.

Chapter 918, Section 960: Thanos's Secret Deal

"You've come at the perfect time. Here's a list. Gather all the people on it for intensive training and unleash their full potential in the shortest amount of time!"

Seeing this, Kevin was pleased and casually tossed the personnel files he had prepared in advance to Doctor Strange.

Aside from pseudo-gods like Qin who require special training, the list includes a series of potential stars who, after unleashing their power, can rise to the level of True God, such as the Ten Spirits, the Seven Herrschers, and the Six Diva Goddesses.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Strange immediately understood that this guy wanted him to use the Time Stone's power to create a low-flow-rate Time Domain to help these potential talents complete their transformation.

Trusting Kevin, Doctor Strange immediately set to work, but his limit was only 20-30 people at a time, allowing them to cultivate in the Time Domain, so the results were limited.

After making the best possible way to close the gap in high-end military strength that worried him the most, Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his recliner, took a sip of tea, and closed his eyes to think.

Currently, Thanos remains the biggest uncertainty; how should we deal with the three and a half Infinity Stones he possesses?

If the Doctor and I each possessed the Time and Space Stone, we would likely be defeated one by one.

If it truly is a matter of life and death, it would be better to gather the gems together, take a desperate gamble, and try to survive against all odds.

Hexi checked the time, stretched, and got up, preparing to begin the asteroid belt cleanup mission.

Gemstone aggregation? Kevin suddenly seemed to realize something and asked Hexi.

"Wait, do you have some Special Metal? Can I borrow some?"

The Heavenly Foundation King paused, then reluctantly took out a piece of Dark Silver and a piece of Dark alloy from his personal treasury and tossed them to Kevin.

"Use it sparingly, this stuff is very rare, remember to return it later."

Kevin nodded in agreement and watched Hexi head off to the asteroid belt to slay the dragon. Afterward, he also extracted some Vibranium from the Avengers.

After everyone said their goodbyes, Kevin walked to the settlement of the Asgardian God Clan, found Thor, God of Thunder and the others, and after taking some Uru Metal, a specialty of Asgard, he got down to business.

"You should know the coordinates of the planet where the dwarves live. I'd like to ask them to help me reshape a weapon..."

Before Thor could answer, the Queen Frigga beside him seemed to remember something, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Yes! The Dwarf Kingdom! Thor, you and Loki accompany Kevin there, and set off as soon as possible!"

"Before your father fell into his slumber, he commissioned the dwarves to forge a weapon. The raw materials are ready, and only the final shaping process remains."

"Perhaps these existing materials can be put to use!"

Thor nodded seriously upon hearing this, packed his things, grabbed Loki who was trying to run away, gave him the coordinates, and called Kevin to set off.

Kevin retrieved the Rubik's Cube from the Spatial Rift. As he chanted runes, the activated spatial energy formed a Great Wormhole Bridge leading to the Dwarf Kingdom.

As the light and darkness shifted before their eyes, the three found themselves in the Dwarf Kingdom's smelting chamber, filled with furnaces, gears, cooling pools, and other such objects.

But looking around, the factory that once forged the weapons of the Nine Worlds was extremely desolate and deserted; after walking a hundred meters or so, you couldn't even see a ghost.

Impatient Thor shouted a few times, and in the clear echo, two burly, bearded dwarven craftsmen opened the door to a secret chamber and cautiously stepped out.

"Thor, is that you?"

"Brothers, what's wrong with you guys?!"

Thor, who had once drunk with this dwarf, sensed something was wrong and quickly ran up to him, anxiously asking questions.

"Thanos came, first forcing us to forge the Infinity Gauntlet for him, then breaking the contract, killing half of us, and kidnapping the remaining half."

"Where were the people of Asgard back then? You promised to protect the Nine Worlds, to protect us!"

The two dwarf brothers, who had survived the ordeal, were filled with grief and indignation, and confronted Thor with their questions.

Kevin reached out and patted the two brothers on the shoulder, his expression solemn and helpless.

"Previously, Aesir was besieged by the Frost Giants, Fire Giant, and Dark Elves, and Odin fell into a long slumber..."

"During the Second Impact, Titan Star also joined the enemy camp, resulting in the near annihilation of the Asgardian Guard and the collapse of Asgard. Therefore, they were simply unable to fulfill their promises."

"Now, we can only rely on ourselves; Thanos is our common enemy."

"His next target is Earth, so since we're all in the same boat, I'd like to ask you to help me reforge my weapon."

After a brief period of counseling, the two dwarf brothers finally calmed down. Fueled by their resentment towards Thanos, they were naturally willing to provide Kevin with assistance.

Kevin curled his fingers and gripped the Skyfire Greatsword, which was slowly pulled away from the Void Rift.

A layer of bright yellow flames with a primordial aura emanated from the sword, causing a burning sensation that stung the souls and made everyone slightly uncomfortable.

Loki, standing nearby, immediately pulled out a rectangular artifact carved from an ice-blue stone, instantly causing the surrounding temperature to drop several levels.

"The Eternal Flame!"

"Ancient Casket!"

Upon seeing this, the two dwarf brothers were shocked. Their fervent passion for craftsmanship made them abandon their restraint and eagerly accept Kevin's Skyfire Greatsword.

Subsequently, the owner took out a series of rare metals, including vibranium, Dark Silver, Dark alloy, and Uru Metal.

The two foundry workers' eyes widened instantly. They hugged the treasures to their arms and caressed them like lecherous wolves molesting young girls, their eyes bloodshot and their breath coming in heavy gasps.

The Death Star's core within the core forge was ignited by the Eternal Flame, rare materials were added and smelted, enhanced with Loki's runes, and finally cooled using the Ancient Casket...

Perfect!

The two dwarf brothers kept muttering to themselves as they poured the materials originally used to forge the Storm Axe into the Skyfire Greatsword, forging and tempering it again and again.

Kevin and Thor were jointly responsible for powering the Death Star's core, their skeletons crackling and popping as they endured immense pressure and intense heat.

Similarly, Loki, who possessed a talent for enchanting, was so exhausted that he vomited blood.

After a whole day of fussing, a magnificent, Flame Greatsword flew into Kevin's hand on its own, its flowing Eternal Flame spreading out and instantly dispelling the host's fatigue.

With the greatsword in hand, terrifying power emanated from it. Loki's Ancient Casket and Thor's Thor's Hammer both hummed, their combined strength barely able to suppress the weapon's sharpness.

Once the strange phenomenon disappeared, something odd was discovered: five inlay holes were carved in a row along the spine of the sword.

The dwarf brothers glanced at their masterpiece, then collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief. As their gaze fell on the inlay hole on the sword, a vengeful smirk played on their lips.

"As you requested, this can also be inlaid with Infinity Stones, and with the Eternal Flame activating it, its power will be even greater!"

"We ask for nothing in return, we only hope that you can use this sword to kill that Thanos! Avenge half of the Dwarf Kingdom's people!"

Kevin nodded solemnly, his tone serious.

"I'll accept this request!"

"There's no need to stay on this planet any longer. Come with me to the Chiwu Star System and prepare for the final battle!"

"Revenge should be taken with your own eyes and hands; that's the only way to truly feel good!"

The dwarf brothers nodded in agreement and reached out to give Kevin a high five.

"Okay, wherever we go, we can skip the food, but there has to be plenty of alcohol!"

"Certainly!"

After convincing the two men, Kevin opened Spatial Rift and turned to return.

Meanwhile, Thanos, who had returned to Titan Star from Vormir, sat dejectedly on his broken throne, pulling a double-edged dagger from his back waist with his right hand.

With a flick of the fingertip, the dagger remained firmly in balance. No matter how it flipped up and down or rose and fell, the sharp blade, having found its balance point, remained as steady as a tower.

Balance is the truth of the universe.

This was once a game he taught the child, but those days are gone forever.

Before anyone knew it, a warm drop of liquid slid down to his lips. The burly man with purple skin, now somewhat hunched and aged, wiped away the glistening liquid with his fingertip, looked up at the gray sky, and murmured something under his breath.

Daughter, you will forgive me, right?

In the darkness, an orange gem gleamed, seemingly responding to Thanos's inner question.

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, giant apes with silver-gray fur, adorned with arm guards and shoulder armor, crawled out from the cracks, pounding their chests and roaring furiously, before gathering before the throne.

Thanos slowly rose, looking up at the dazzling colors above him that transcended spatial perception, his tone somber.

"Our deal can begin, Dormammu..."

P. S.: Currently 8 chapters short.

Chapter 919, Section 961: Invading Tokyo and Capturing the Emperor Alive

Earth, London, the streets are deserted, the hustle and bustle of the past is gone. Discarded newspapers and withered leaves flutter in the wind. The streets and alleys are quiet and deserted, and even the clutter is left unattended.

Even the lawns, which hadn't been mowed in a long time, had grown wildly, and vegetation could occasionally be seen sprouting from the cracks between the bricks on both sides of the road.

The territories that humanity spent millions of years conquering seemed to have been completely returned to nature's control in just a few months.

Doctor Strange, sitting in the empty open-air café, glanced at the seven- or eight-meter-long potted green ivy on the balcony, shook his head helplessly, and found himself alone at the table.

Doctor Strange picked up the caramel macchiato from the table, took a small sip, and his thoughts drifted back to the present.

Recently, with the tacit approval and impetus of the seven super-organizations and the five permanent members of the Security Council, meteorites inhabiting Ghidorah have been breaking through the spatial barriers set up by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

These War Beast, which could be described as natural disasters, descended upon the vicinity of human cities that refused to comply with evacuation orders.

Even with reinforcements from all sides and Super Soldier arriving as quickly as possible, the disaster brought about by Ghidorah had already taken place, with incalculable losses of property and life.

In addition, the frequent abnormal Solar Flare activity and electromagnetic wave interruptions have turned cities into information islands, and extreme weather events are occurring frequently, making it increasingly difficult for ordinary humans to survive on the Earth's surface.

Therefore, even the most stubborn holdouts have to consider their own lives and seek refuge underground.

The instinct to protect oneself and fear death is a fundamental human instinct. Once this was understood and their minds were persuaded, the collective migration became a natural outcome.

Next, the five permanent members of the Security Council activated emergency plans, taking over global surface defense and the reception and resettlement of refugees in various countries.

Moreover, the city's construction is "copied and pasted" using the Amamiya City's Eshkalt, and then expanded in area using Kunlun's Space Shrinkage Technology.
