Chapter 1357: The Mystery of the Feast (VII)

Two days before the wedding ceremony, Schiller was awakened by the sunlight shining directly into the Asgard from the window. Asgard is an island floating in the universe, not revolving around a star. All the light here comes from the World Tree, and the rising and setting of the sun and the moon do not bring any heat.

Therefore, the morning sunlight here is cold, and the mist brought by the abundant energy of the World Tree makes the sunlight shining through the gauze curtain particularly gentle. The gods from Northern Europe like this kind of light atmosphere with melancholy blue tones.

There was a knock at the door. Schiller said, "Come in." A goddess smiled and pushed the door open. She placed an invitation on the table at the door and said, "Hello, sir. There will be an Asgard-themed concert tonight in the Fairy Palace Auditorium. If you are interested, please wear formal clothes and ring the service bell at around 7:10 tonight. Someone will take you to the auditorium."

Schiller was a little surprised, so he asked, "Aren't concerts and other receptions held after the ceremony?"

"No, sir, I know this is not very similar to the etiquette of most civilizations. Asgard first holds receptions and then holds wedding ceremonies. This is to allow guests here to better experience our cultural atmosphere and have a deeper understanding of the atmosphere of the wedding ceremony."

"Okay, I see. So, in addition to the concert, what other receptions are there?"

"After the concert tonight, there will be no special receptions today. activities, but tomorrow morning you can go to the Asgard Expo Hall to attend the art exhibition, or go to the library to read Asgard's history and culture books. "

"The day after tomorrow night we will hold a dance in the main hall of the Asgard Palace. This is the most important reception event. His Majesty the God King and the future God Queen and all the important guests will not be absent. Please be sure to arrive on time."

"Thank you, Goddess, can I go and talk to a few friends during the day? I haven't seen them for a long time and I won't miss the concert."

"Of course, sir, you can arrange your time during the day. See you tonight. Have a good time."

After saying that, the goddess closed the door and left. Schiller breathed a sigh of relief. He had to admit that if the Asgardians were willing to maintain a good attitude towards you, then it would be very comfortable to get along with them. These gods are not only pleasing to the eye, but also have a temperament that makes people feel the boldness and enthusiasm of the ocean civilization.

Schiller walked to the door and picked up the invitation. He saw that it had the specific time and address, and even included the arrangements for the next two days. However, as the goddess said, most of the daytime was free activities, and the guests could communicate freely.

This arrangement was very smart. Everyone actually knew that the theme of attending a wedding was not a wedding. People just needed an excuse to get everyone together to solve the social problems of the interstellar society in the next ten or even decades.

Schiller certainly had problems to solve, that is, the problems about Thanos and the Dark Quadrant.

I believe someone still remembers that there were several members of the old Skrull Empire who had drifted to Earth before. Although a stupid general's decision made most of them copy human abilities and were infected by human thoughts, and now they all stood on the side of humans, there were also several members who were unwilling to give up and wanted to rebuild the Skrull Empire.

They did not recognize the current militaristic Skrull Empire as their home, nor did they want to go back, but wanted to find a new piece of land and develop from scratch.

Although the universe is very large, there are not many places suitable for building a home. More importantly, they must stay away from the sphere of influence of the new Skrull Empire, otherwise they will be wiped out once they are discovered.

At the beginning, Schiller showed them a clear way. At that time, Thanos had just angered Eternity, and Eternity directly cut out the dark dimension and threw it on the outer wall of the universe, where the members of the old Skrull Empire settled down.

But now, Thanos used the dimension cutting device of the Shi'ar Empire to pack up the resources of Thanos from other universes and bring them back, so he must need a place to stay, and the dimension cutting device of the Shi'ar Empire can just tear down a piece of dimension and sew it back.

Then the best choice for Thanos is to put the cut back dark dimension back to its original position, but now the original position is occupied by others, so Thanos is a little difficult to deal with.

Maybe some people think that a Titan can't beat a few Skrulls? But don't forget that the veteran who led the Skrulls just cloned Captain America, and it was a 50-50 fight against anyone.

What's more terrifying is that there is also a Schiller among the Skrulls.

At the beginning, the Skrull general who cloned Nick wanted the last member who didn't choose a clone to clone Schiller, but was directly infected by Schiller.

Now he is one of the Tower personalities. There are so many personalities in the Tower, and a Skrull personality doesn't make a difference. The only difference is that he has a separate Skrull body and can move freely, without having to compete with other Schillers for shifts.

However, there is also a disadvantage that the Skrulls can only copy abilities, but not the external equipment they carry. This Skrull, Schiller, does not have gray fog, and his self-protection ability is not very strong. The safety issue limits his performance, so he has only been active near the dark quadrant so far.

But this is enough to give Thanos a headache. In front of him is Captain Five-Five, who can't be defeated by anyone, and behind him is the scheming Pope II. If the infinite gems from other universes can be used, maybe they can fight, but if they can't be used, Thanos can only choose to outsmart them.

Because of this situation, before Schiller went to find Thanos, Thanos came to him first.

The restaurant in Asgard is located on the second floor of the Asgard. The main color here is still gold, but the edges of the curved dome and the patterns on the walls are dark blue, while the armchairs near the golden table are dark red. The slightly old milky white walls neutralize the collision of these strong colors, making it noble and gorgeous with a sense of heaviness.

When Schiller walked into the restaurant, he couldn't help but look up at the gorgeous palace decorations. Asgard's Fairy Palace is also called Odin's Golden Palace. This palace lives up to its reputation. This is also the first time Schiller has visited this palace in such detail, so he was very fascinated.

Schiller didn't come back to his senses until the waiter in the restaurant led him to the dining table. When he looked up, he saw a purple-skinned giant picking food at the dining table.

There are many Asgard specialties here, most of which are barbecue. Asgard belongs to the ocean civilization and almost no livestock is raised, so the source of meat is some monsters in the nine kingdoms. Looking at many unidentified monster meats, Schiller was a little at a loss. At this time, a voice sounded in his ear:

"You can have some of that, which is very similar to the mutton on Earth. It comes from a kind of gregarious blue-eared sheep on the edge of the nine kingdoms."

Schiller turned his head and saw Thanos standing beside him. Schiller said in a brisk tone: "Your Majesty Thanos, good morning, why did you come so early today?"

Thanos certainly heard Schiller's words. He looked around and found that there were indeed fewer people in the restaurant, so his behavior of pretending to meet by chance seemed a little embarrassing.

Schiller is a person who gets up at five o'clock without fail. Many people know his habit. It is not difficult for Thanos to investigate Schiller's work and rest.

However, what he didn't expect was that Schiller's healthy work and rest is unique even in the universe. To be precise, there are only two of them in the restaurant except the waiter.

"Let's sit over there." Schiller took some simple pastries and walked to the window with the plate. The two came to a table next to a tall statue and sat down. Schiller took the knife and fork from the waiter and asked, "Are you going to the concert tonight?"

"Of course, I'm very interested in Asgard's music. I like their assembly calls and war drums. It reminds me of the days on Titan."

Thanos also picked up the knife and fork. What was surprising was that Thanos used the tableware very well. He was like a real gentleman in human society, maintaining meticulous dining etiquette.

"Is it the drumbeat you played when you destroyed Titan?"

"Destruction and art are not in conflict." Thanos shook his head and said, "Asgard has destroyed much more civilizations and lives than I have."

"Indeed." Schiller turned his head and looked out the window. The buildings of Asgard in the distance were more brilliant in the morning light. Art always grows more vigorously in two extreme soils, one is extreme hardship and severe cold, and the other is abundance and richness without worrying about survival.

Asgard is obviously the latter, so the art here is always passionate and magnificent. Whether it is architecture or music, they are all pursuing shocking people. Perhaps the former Eternals are the same.

"Humanity's solar system development plan should have paid attention to Uranus, right?" Thanos asked with a half-smile.

"Are you worried that humans will discover the remains of the Eternals?" Schiller cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, saying, "To be honest, we are not very interested in this, and you didn't leave anything good... But I am quite interested in the story of the Eternals. Can you tell me about it?"

Thanos paused with his cutlery in his hand, and looked at Schiller and said, "Didn't the Sorcerer Supreme tell you our story?"

"It's naturally different when it's narrated by an eyewitness. Perhaps after hearing your story of wandering, I will also feel a little sympathy for your displaced situation."

Thanos showed a smile. With an incomprehensible smile, he lowered his head and looked at the food on the plate and said, "I am the third-generation descendant of the Eternals. I'm sure you can see that the Eternals are a race that came from Earth."

"Our living habits, etiquette and culture have a lot in common with humans. The city of Titanos built on Earth at that time was an ancient civilization that was once glorious on Earth."

"Most of the tragedies in this world come from greed for power. My grandfather, Kronos, the leader of the Eternals at the time, caused a terrible explosion while conducting a cosmic life force experiment, and the glorious city of Titanos was annihilated."

"Kronos' body was destroyed, but the Eternals had a strong spirit. In the explosion, he changed his life form, gave up his body, merged with part of the rules of time, and became a god in the universe."

"But unfortunately, he failed to save the tragedy of the Eternals. After the terrible explosion, the Eternals suffered heavy casualties. Just like all intelligent life when they encounter disasters, terrible civil strife swept the ruins of Titanos."

"Kronos's younger brother Uranus believed that his brother was irresponsible and was the culprit for the heavy casualties of the Eternals, so a fight broke out between them, but unfortunately Uranus failed to defeat Kronos. After the defeat, he was exiled and led a group of Eternals to Titan, a satellite of Uranus and Saturn, and rebuilt the city."

"After Titanos was destroyed, Kronos' eldest son Zulas led a group of Eternals out of the ruins of Titanos and came to Mount Olympus in Greece, establishing the Olympus Gods. system, and the other three tribes that did not agree with him took root in three different places. "

"After the chaos ended, another problem troubled the Eternals, that is, the old-fashioned issue of establishing a crown prince."

"Kronos has more than one son, Zuras. He also has a younger son, Alars, but he has never been liked by him, just like Loki's situation in Asgard before."

"It's interesting, isn't it? Everything in this world seems to be a similar reincarnation one after another." Thanos shook his head and said with some sigh: "However, the little prince of the Eternals, Alars, did not have the good luck of Loki. After failing to compete for the throne, he was expelled from Olympus and exiled to Titan."

"At that time, there were Eternals left by Uranus on Titan, so Alars took his followers and merged with this Eternal tribe to create the Titans."

"And this Majesty Alars is my father. "
