Chapter 331 / Chapter 332
The cold sensation did not bring them any relief.
It's more of a feeling of being targeted by a predator!
Having activated the latent X-Gene within their bodies, they didn't gain much combat ability, but their perception of the outside world was already far more sensitive than before.
They are also more sensitive to the natural restraint inherent in certain species.
A species more powerful than the New Mutants— no, more accurately, more powerful than all of humanity—just flashed by outside!
Some New Mutants, who were not combat-oriented but had enhanced vision, were able to spot a figure flashing past outside the atmosphere!
Despite its enormous size, the robot appears to be only the size of a palm from a distance outside the atmosphere.
But it was precisely for this reason that this group of New Mutants felt a sense of shock.
They can be seen even outside the atmosphere!
This is not a product of the Utopia Alliance!
And this guy seemed to be scanning us just now!
Who exactly are these guys?
As the cold sensation passed, the people in these cities instantly erupted in chaos.
In these same cities, members of the Utopia Alliance's branches began rapidly reporting the unusual situations their cities had just experienced...
This information was rapidly gathered at headquarters, where the scanned cities began to appear at a rapid pace.
From the perspective of the entire Earth, it looks like a giant brush sweeping across city after city, and even continent after continent.
"What exactly is this guy trying to do?"
The captain, still hovering on the outer surface of the atmosphere, was both shocked and furious.
This was accompanied by a report from the S.W.O.R.D. inside his earpiece.
Captain Marvel could already imagine that the entire Earth was gradually being revealed under this guy's sweeping gaze.
The enormous robot traversed almost the entire Earth in a short time, scanning nearly every corner of the planet.
This includes every city along every road, and even every ocean, as well as Antarctica, which is accessible to almost anyone.
That giant brush gently swept across the entire surface of the Earth!
"Notify all cities that haven't yet been scanned: immediately prepare long-range weapons and open fire the moment he is spotted!"
The captain's face had turned grim.
This person who inexplicably appeared in the first place, and although we don't know what he wants to do, what he is doing now is a great insult to Earth and the Utopia Alliance on Earth.
His nonchalant attitude angered almost everyone!
Meanwhile, in cities that had not yet been scanned and received the order, the ground instantly cracked open, and from within emerged one after another enormous particle weapon-like entities.
The Sentinels's head-mounted launcher was indeed devastating, and this same device was also adopted for the defensive fortifications of various Utopia Alliance branches.
Unable to be manipulated, its size was enlarged, and its power was not much less than that of a robot's head-mounted launcher!
Now all these launchers are operational, pointed at the sky, awaiting the arrival of this giant robot!
As a black humanoid figure began to vaguely appear in the sky, the transmitters quickly locked on and unleashed scorching crimson rays of light without mercy!
Chapter 331
How many cities can you see in an instant from outside the atmosphere?
Almost no one can explain this. Standing outside the atmosphere, what you see in an instant is not just a city; you can see almost half of the Earth in that instant.
Perhaps to preserve accuracy, this robot did not scan all the cities within its field of vision in an instant.
Instead, he scanned each city gradually, but even so, his speed was still terrifying.
In less than a minute, the robot had already scanned five continents and the surrounding oceans.
However, it is precisely because this robot can see almost countless cities that these countless cities can also see this robot, especially those cities that have not yet been detected!
And in these cities, a deadly red 12-ray was simultaneously unleashed!
Immovable things are always easier to destroy than movable things.
However, its power is always greater than that of something that can be moved.
After all, they don't need to consider mobility; they only need to consider how to unleash their maximum power.
The defensive measures prepared in these cities are clearly not weak.
The terrifying energy surge instantly shot into the sky, tearing through the clouds and flying towards the small black figure!
Even from the headquarters of the S.W.O.R.D., one could see countless red beams of light shooting out from a continent on the ground, heading straight for that giant robot!
The Utopia Alliance is becoming increasingly powerful, and each of its divisions is now equipped with weapons that could dwarf almost any small space force.
Unfortunately, the biggest headache for the Utopia Alliance right now isn't a lack of weapons, but rather the rapid pace of technological advancement.
Before a certain advanced weapon can be fully deployed, a newer batch of weapons has already appeared. What to do with the weapons that will be phased out next has become a major headache for them.
Throw it away, it's such a waste.
Keep it; it's useless.
Selling it isn't enough.
Despite this bittersweet sadness, there is no doubt that the Utopia Alliance's weaponry is now far more powerful than any other foreign force can match.
At that moment, these terrifying weapons unleashed their maximum power, bombarding the enormous robot!
In an instant, the entire sky turned a hazy red, and on this continent, the temperature instantly rose by 5 degrees!
The terrifying heat spread caused a heat island effect across the entire continent.
This robot didn't seem to dodge at all, letting countless red beams of light bombard it instantly!
At that moment, Captain Marvel, who was rushing towards the giant robot, finally arrived.
The captain just happened to witness the giant robot being engulfed by the red light!
The red light made the captain appear somewhat flushed, but it couldn't hide his pale complexion.
When the captain saw the face of this enormous robot, his face turned deathly pale.
"How did this group of guys end up here?"
As the captain faced off, some unbelievable words were uttered, and it seemed that the captain himself could see some sweat on his forehead.
Damn it!
Seeing the red ray engulf the robot, the captain showed no joy whatsoever.
"Notify all personnel to prepare immediately. Activate ultimate protection for the entire Earth!!!"
Without hesitation, the captain shouted loudly into the S.W.O.R.D.'s communication channel!
"The Celestials members, what the hell did these guys suddenly do on Earth?"
As he spoke, the captain himself was retreating rapidly, seemingly complaining about something.
There seemed to be no intention of investigating whether this enormous robot had been destroyed.
The captain's actions clearly indicated that he already had prior knowledge of the situation, because after the red light dissipated, the enormous robot inside was not only intact, but its energy seemed to have become even more abundant.
The members of the S.W.O.R.D. were equally surprised to hear their captain's panicked tone, but they did not stop what they were doing.
Three golden points of light suddenly appeared on the Earth, followed by a massive barrier that began to slowly spread.
The former Masters' Sanctum Supreme has long been owned by the Utopia Alliance, but the Alliance has not abandoned these temples. It not only allows them to maintain their previous functions, but also assigns them new functions.
These three points together can maintain the spatial dimensions of the entire Earth from being destroyed by other external forces. Now, after being transformed by the Utopia Alliance, they are protecting more than just dimensional destruction.
After using Wakanda's enhanced technology, they can create a real defensive shield across the entire Earth!
An incredibly powerful defensive shield generated entirely by the resonance of Vibranium!
The captain had calculated that even if he led the entire Alpha Flight and attacked desperately against Earth, which was under full defense, it would be impossible to break through the defensive shield within at least 72 hours.
Even so, the captain was still unsure. He didn't know if this seemingly perfect absolute defense would be just as vulnerable in front of this member of the Celestials.
"How did these guys end up on Earth?"
Beads of sweat were already faintly visible on the captain's face.
These guys cause chaos wherever they go!
To be precise, after they left, the entire planet almost ceased to exist.
Ego, a planet that nearly brought disaster to the entire universe back then, is nothing compared to them!
Their purpose and the tasks they perform are very clear!
That's the verdict!
To judge different races and determine whether they pose a threat to or cause damage to the existence of the universe.
If this trial fails, then this race will be completely wiped out, reduced to its most primitive state of life, and allowed to slowly continue to develop.
In short, it's impossible to let them affect the peace of this universe.
But the somewhat despairing truth is that, to date, almost none of the known races that have been judged have been deemed non-threatening.
In other words, with their pronouncement, almost all the condemned races perished!
Chapter 332
Their strength exceeded everyone's expectations.
As some of the earliest life forms to emerge in the universe, their forms are exceptionally large. What's even more surprising is that their energy patterns and attack methods are unique to them.
They are not robots in themselves; what makes them look like robots is the armor made of a huge, unknown substance covering their bodies.
Each one is enormous, but each one has a unique shape.
What's even more terrifying is that, to this day, no one knows exactly how many people are in the Celestials.
This seems like an unsolved mystery of the universe.
Although Captain Marvel expressed great surprise at their arrival, she actually didn't know much about this race, and had never even seen them before.
Our understanding of them is limited to various video materials, but these materials alone are sufficient.
The Nova Corps still possesses a very valuable video recording.
They have not only visited Earth, but have also visited other planets.
However, the result that time did not seem to be very good. After a brief exploration, one robot left and another robot arrived.
Unlike the previous robot that never attacked, this robot raised its weapon high and slammed it into the ground.
Although they are enormous, they are still relatively small compared to the entire planet.
Therefore, simply bombarding the ground with weapons will not achieve much effect other than causing some small earthquakes.
But what was most disheartening was that a purple gemstone was engraved on his weapon.
Power Stone.
The gem's energy traveled directly through its weapon into the Earth's core, causing the entire planet to collapse.
This planet was subsequently destroyed, and similarly, not only the planet itself was destroyed, but also all life on it.
They pronounced the death of this planet!
Captain Marvel has no idea whether she would encounter such a situation on Earth.
But the captain knew he was being targeted by this group of enormous creatures.
The Earth is going to be in considerable trouble.
"I must inform the Supreme of this matter immediately..."
The captain vaguely sensed the seriousness of the situation.
