Thor and Loki
Galactic Plumbers Headquarters
Ben listened to Caiera's report and summary of everything that had happened during this period.
Overall
The Galactic Plumbers performed well in this great cosmic war.
The Plumbers themselves have gradually become stronger as the Galactic Plumbers's technology has continued to develop, and now even the most ordinary warriors are extremely powerful on their own.
Earth heroes like Captain America, who were among the first to fight alongside Ben, received even greater preferential treatment.
Although they did not continue to upgrade their serums, the advanced combat suits and the widespread availability of all special energies greatly enhanced their combat capabilities.
"The special forces team performed exceptionally well."
Caiera also acknowledged this.
However, not everyone can awaken Energy of the Universe, and many people cannot sense Energy of the Universe even when they have the Alpha Rune.
For example, Steve is one of the people who cannot use the Energy of the Universe.
But he possessed the Old Power.
Besides the Plumbers of the Galactic Plumbers, many other planets and civilizations that had joined the Galactic Plumbers's rule also joined the war, becoming part of the fight against the enemy and the defense of their civilization.
For example, the Nova Corps, the Cosmic Knight-Symbiote Allied Forces, and some warriors from Asgard...
The Celestial Palace Warrior are not strictly speaking affiliated with the Galactic Plumbers; they are now residents of the Legerdomain Dimension, far removed from their current world.
However, there are always some warriors there who can't stay idle, and many are willing to follow Loki and Thor to maintain peace in the universe.
Nebula and Gamora are both fighting on the front lines, Looma is also enjoying the war.
Caiera called them over one by one, like a soldier being called upon.
The Galactic Plumbers is practically fighting on multiple fronts simultaneously against three or even more enemies, and everyone is extremely busy.
Especially Bill.
He was always the most dedicated one.
He led former Sakaar gladiators and Korbin family Plumbers warriors to fight against those who attempted to seize the territory of the Galactic Plumbers.
"Well done."
Ben nodded approvingly.
Despite facing attacks from all sides, Galactic Plumbers performed very well even without him.
He never wanted the Galactic Plumbers to become a useless organization that was worthless without him, and now it seems that his wish has come true.
How is the organization of the Galactic Conference progressing?
"It went very smoothly."
Caiera replied, "The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire have accepted the invitation for reconciliation, and the Incursean Empire has also agreed."
"Oh?"
Ben raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.
It's not surprising that the Kree Empire and Skrull Empire are willing to accept reconciliation.
Although the two sides seem to be really at odds, they are, after all, ancient civilizations, so it's normal that they are willing to negotiate.
Negotiation is a hallmark of civilization.
But it's a bit strange that the Incursean Empire agreed to negotiations so easily.
Based on his understanding of the Incursean, those guys were absolute tyrants who took pleasure in destroying and enslaving other creatures.
If Vilgax wanted to wage a cosmic war to rule, Emperor Milleous waged war simply to satisfy his own desire for domination and to have more people worship at the feet of his statue.
Moreover, this race is extremely irrational.
Any despicable adjective that can be conceived can be used to describe them.
"Something feels off."
"Do you think they're just pretending to negotiate?" Caiera asked.
"The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire being drawn into the war could be considered accidents, but how could the Incursean Empire, as the instigator of the war and devouring the Shi'ar Empire like a hyena, easily accept mediation before satisfying its own greed?"
"In that case, should we terminate the parliament?"
"Caiera asked."
Ben shook his head, a smile spreading across his face.
"No, let's see what these toads are up to."
He has a good idea.
Earth, Wakanda.
Tony and the others sat together, their faces still showing worry.
After the first Collision Crisis ended without anyone knowing, the collisions did not stop.
The Infinity Multiverse is like a giant model pieced together; if one or two parts are removed, the entire structure becomes precarious.
It was like a domino effect.
Once you start, it's hard to stop.
"Don't be so pessimistic. At least we have the Annihilation Weapon now. No matter how many times we collide, there won't be any problems." Seeing that everyone's mood was low, Tony forced a smile and put on a relaxed expression.
T'Challa glanced at him, then remained silent.
"Fighting against your own guilt?" Tony asked. "Don't say that, T'Challa. You didn't kill anyone. We all saw it. There wasn't a single living person, not even a hair, not even a single single-celled organism on that Earth in that universe!"
"You know that's not the point, Tony."
T'Challa sighed.
Although he didn't actually kill an innocent person on a planet, he at least made that decision in his heart.
He doesn't regret it, and he would make the same choice if given the chance.
Even if people on another planet kept kneeling down and begging him to spare their lives, T'Challa wouldn't hesitate to press the bomb button.
Because he is the prince of Wakanda.
He is the one who will inherit the throne of Wakanda in the future, and his mission is to protect his people!
He can be merciful, but the price of mercy will never be the lives of his people.
"If that's the case, then what else is there to say?" Tony shrugged. "Before justice, the first thing is stance! Our moral bottom line isn't high enough to sacrifice ourselves to let others live."
"We are all well aware of your moral bottom line, or rather, the fact that we are gathered here means we don't really have any moral bottom line."
Doctor Otto said.
That's a bit self-deprecating.
To ask these people to give up their lives to save the world
Can!
But to ask them to arbitrarily decide to sacrifice the lives of other Earthlings in order to allow people on another Earth to continue living is unacceptable.
No!
"I'm not interested in moral standards," Tony said, pulling a bag of snacks from somewhere and stuffing something into his mouth while pointing at Eunice. "I just want to know if Ben is back, and preferably explain the situation here to him."
"I have already explained the situation to the Benny."
Without Tony reminding her, Eunice immediately informed Ben about the Collision Crisis.
He said that some people have already tried to resolve the Multiverse Collision crisis.
"It may take some time."
"We can't wait that long," Alto said. "The next collision will probably happen very soon."
It shouldn't be this fast!
According to the original calculations, it would be a very long time before a new collision occurred.
But after the first time, a second one quickly followed, as if someone was deliberately fanning the flames.
"How will we respond once again?"
Destroy them!
Eunice spoke up decisively.
"That's also what the Benny wanted to do!"
--
Beyond time.
In a desolate desert, blue gem energy opened a portal.
Two figures jumped out one after the other.
Thor raised his head, his deep-set eyes narrowing as he looked up at the sun overhead.
"Is this outside the universe? In another timeline?"
Who knows?
Loki, wearing a green trench coat, looked around.
"Find myself first."
"Once we deal with that Maltruant that Ben mentioned, things should be fine."
