Chapter 1342 Interstellar Stage (Forty-Nine)

Schiller was making rounds in the ward of Arkham Sanatorium when a nurse came in and said, "Dr. Schiller, Mr. Strange's appointment is almost up. Do you want to go and wait for him?"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Sorry, sir, I'm leaving first."

Schiller nodded to the two people in the ward, walked out, and came to the second floor of the complex building. Strange was already waiting there, obviously having come through a portal.

Schiller walked over and handed the notebook to the nurse. After the nurse left, he sat on the sofa opposite Strange and asked, "What's wrong? You called to make an appointment so late last night. Is there something urgent?"

Strange frowned, touched his brow with his fingers, and said, "It's nothing serious. The main thing is that I don't understand why you let Loki incite Thanos to deal with himself in another universe and snatch the resources of Thanos in another universe."

Strange sighed softly, changed his posture and said, "To be honest, I am not afraid of the Infinity Stones, nor am I afraid that Thanos in our universe will get the Infinity Gauntlet. After all, Vishanti has been pulled into the game by us, and your relationship with Eternity also means that Thanos in our universe has no chance to snap his fingers."

"But those territories and properties The most deadly thing is the resources. If he can really bring back the dark quadrant of the universe, it will definitely be a big threat to human civilization in the future, or perhaps immediately. "

"Of course, Schiller, I know you may have some follow-up arrangements, but I think this step is still a bit risky. Thanos is only a temporary ally, and he has unlimited potential. Once his foundation is solid, we will be in trouble."

Schiller raised his head slightly, indicating that he understood. He was about to stand up and take the wine, but Strange waved his hand and said, "I quit drinking. Let's have some tea. I just brought it from the Himalayas."

After speaking, he waved his hand and took out a pottery jar. Several tea cups appeared out of thin air and fell steadily on the table. With a "splash", the steaming water rushed into the cup, and the tea leaves floated up in a circle.

Schiller picked up the teacup and blew gently, and said: "Of course, I can understand your worries. Although the development speed of human beings is fast, the foundation is unstable, and Thanos has unlimited potential."

"But I still do this to maintain balance. For Thanos, the territory and population are not only a help, but also a hindrance."

Hearing this, Strange's brows opened slightly. As long as Schiller has a plan, he will repeat the word and say: "... ties?"

"That's right, now among the three parties of humans, Asgard and Thanos, only Thanos is The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. He is alone and has nothing. Although he looks the weakest overall, he can pose a considerable threat to us. "

"The essence is that humans and Asgard both have territories and people. The strong among humans and Asgard are certainly not afraid of Thanos, but if he is determined to make trouble, sending a few human bombs to the earth today and plotting against the patrolling Asgard fleet tomorrow, we can't just do nothing and go around the world to catch him, right?"

"Like the Mandarin?" Strange had some enlightenment.

Schiller took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Yes, just like the Mandarin. Is the Mandarin very strong? In fact, not necessarily. The agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D. alone are enough to deal with him, not to mention his repeated jumping between the S.H.I.E.L.D. With his strength, he should have died long ago."

"But the reason why he can live to this day is because he is just a fly. Humans will only think of hitting flies when they are free. When they are busy working overtime, no one can delay their work for a fly."

"Although the earth is calm on the surface, all countries are competing secretly. Everyone knows that the early stage of entering the interstellar society is the best bonus period. If you don't seize the time to develop and eat the cake, and divide your attention to hit the fly, isn't it stupid?"

"The same is true for Thanos. If he hides alone in the vast sea of ​​stars, we don't even have a target to attack. But if he has his own territory and population like Asgard and humans, then before he does anything, , you have to think about whether your country will be hit. "

"Oh, I understand." Strange nodded and said: "A reckless fugitive will naturally use all kinds of tricks, just like the Mandarin, but any decent country is now focusing on development and wants to keep up with the trend. Even if it secretly trips up others, it dare not make too much noise, otherwise, in addition to delaying its own development, public opinion is also a problem. "

"The Mandarin himself is notorious. He is a wanted criminal in many countries. Most of his subordinates are fugitives and poachers. They have no relatives and are not afraid of anything. What we have to do is to prevent Thanos from becoming like this, so that he will not become a terrorist, but a legitimate country. "

"After joining the interstellar society, it is equivalent to joining the order side. Enjoying the wealth and stability brought by the order, you naturally have to abide by the rules and not act recklessly. Although this gives him the opportunity to develop, it can indeed greatly reduce his danger. "

Schiller nodded, affirmed Strange's idea, and said: "In a sense, the king is much easier to deal with than the killer, at least for our group of people."

"Another point is that the Infinity Stones cannot be used across the universe. Thanos's men should have died in the war. The only valuable thing is that piece of land and the resources accumulated by Thanos before. To be honest, this is a bit pitiful." Schiller shook his head and blew the tea.

"But Thanos has no choice. It is not difficult to accumulate from one to ten, but he must have this one first. He knows that humans and Asgard are on guard against him and will definitely guard against him and will not let him accumulate capital easily. This is probably his only chance."

"He knows that we are taking advantage of the situation and want to exchange a lot of promises from him with only a little territory and resources, but he must seize this only chance, so even if the things are shabby, he must go."

"For this opportunity, he is willing to pay a great price, and at the same time he has weaknesses, so why not do it?"

Strange nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing..." Strange touched his temples and said, "Do you still remember Latvia, which you called a 'weird little country'?"

Schiller paused while blowing the tea. When this familiar name appeared, he naturally thought of a person, that is, the famous Doctor Doom Doom in the comics, who is also the monarch of Latvia.

Many people are familiar with Doctor Doom. He is a well-known villain in Marvel Comics. He was born in a small country in Eastern Europe. His mother is a gypsy witch, so he has known about magic since he was a child.

After going to college, he was disfigured due to an accident. He returned to his hometown and established Latvia, becoming the ruler and dictator there.

The biggest feature of Doctor Doom is that he can use technology and magic at the same time. At the same time, he has always wanted to save his mother's soul from hell.

Schiller put down his teacup, looked up at Strange and said, "Latvia?... Oh, I remember, is it the country that sent a robot to the Sanctuary last time and said it wanted to make a deal with Mephisto? How is their deal going?"

"I was just about to say that." Strange put down his teacup, wiped his mouth and said, "The king of this small country is called Doom. His mother is a gypsy witch. Her soul was taken away by Mephisto. Doom wants to make a deal with the Lord of Hell to get his mother back, but Mephisto is determined not to let her go."

Schiller frowned and said, "Why? Isn't it just a human soul? Is Latvia poor? But I remember that their technology is quite advanced, and it seems to be on par with Wakanda?"

"You hit the key point again." Strange smiled bitterly and said, "Latvian technology is very advanced, and they even have some magic technology. However, the situation in their country has just stabilized, and there is not much energy reserve. He In order to make a deal with Mephisto, our king Doom had to get more energy. "

"This Doom heard from somewhere that the Leopard God of Wakanda could do business, so he went to Wakanda to seek a deal. As a result, for some reason, the two sides failed to reach an agreement and started fighting."

"This Doom is also a good fighter. He beat up the King of Wakanda, Black Panther. The Leopard God couldn't stand it and came out to stop the fight. As a result, he beat up the Leopard God as well. The Leopard God was scared and hid back in his own kingdom of God. "

"The animal god itself is part of the African pantheon. Now all the major pantheons are short of people. The Leopard God skipped work and hid at home. His colleagues, the lions, snakes, fish and birds we saw before, are almost exhausted. "

"Yesterday, the lion found me and asked me to judge for them. He said that Doom was a robber who robbed on the road and must compensate them for mental damages. "

Schiller also smiled bitterly and covered his forehead. What's going on?

But he was still more concerned about Dum's situation, so he asked, "Did Dumum get the energy he want?" "Get it, the lion did not wrong him. After Dum turned the Leopard God, he stunned a bunch of hairs from his tail. Sterlance sighed deeply: "His mother is a Gypsy Witch, but the witch also wants to eat. His mother was an auditer of the former Soviet arsenal." How can you let people go!
