Chapter 548: I Don’t Like Gemstone Purple Potato Spirit (Part 2)
Loki waved her hand, and the top of the staff burst into light, projecting a huge magic screen in the air. For people of Ebony Maw and Loki's size, this screen is a bit too big, and they can't even see what's playing on it, but for Thanos, the size of this screen is just right.
Suddenly, a burst of passionate music burst out from the staff, and the screen showed a black stage, and Strange in a suit was pacing on it. The camera rushed down from the audience and finally focused on his face. Strange's voice was more magnetic than usual:
"The Sanctuary is not just the Sanctuary!"
Then, a video began to play.
The operator, who was taking a break, picked up a model of a spaceship on the table and began to appreciate it. As the camera moved forward, the model of the spaceship gradually enlarged and turned into a real spaceship, firing at the enemy in an interstellar war.
Then, the huge spaceship was hit by a flash of light and instantly disintegrated into fragments.
The operator suddenly woke up from his dream, picked up the ringing phone, and after speaking to the other end, the spaceship in reality directly jumped and avoided the fatal beam.
The operator put down the phone and showed a satisfied smile. Next to him, the logo of the Sanctuary of the Most Holy Place was enlarged, and the slogan below flashed with golden light: "The Sanctuary of the Most Holy Place is not just the Sanctuary of the Most Holy Place."
Then, another short film began to play. It still started with Strange saying the slogan, but this time, the spaceship was replaced by the Devil. It was the operator's early warning that allowed the Devil to avoid the unprovoked disaster.
After that, there were all kinds of promotional videos, such as the devil's phone ringing during a meeting to remind him to renew, and the party who renewed the subscription kept coming up with new ideas, leaving the other party speechless, and the member gift distribution site, and the devil passing by regretted his decision. Anyway, it was the epitome of human advertising culture, with all kinds of long and short stories, positive and negative propaganda...
In the more than half an hour advertising promotional video, the top level of advertising design masters in human civilization was displayed, integrating the strengths of all masters, and drawing on the strengths of various countries, which attracted Thanos and Ebony Maw to watch the entire half-hour advertisement.
Loki had put away the screen for half a minute, but the two hadn't reacted yet. Then, Thanos restrained his expression and asked, "You mean, this place called the Sanctuary is your strategic advisor for Asgard?"
"Not exactly. Asgard has its own independent strategic and tactical formulation department, but we are still willing to make small investments to get more ideas."
Then, Loki began to introduce the membership system of the Sanctuary, and Thanos' head began to hurt again. He waved his hand, interrupted Loki's speech and said, "No, I don't want to be a member."
Loki showed a regretful expression, but then wanted to continue to persuade Thanos, but he was always unconvinced. She could only show a helpless expression and said:
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty, the Sanctum Sanctorum is now a membership system, but..." Loki changed the subject and continued: "If you handle business from me, I can give you the highest discount, and even provide quarterly processing that is not in the membership service description..."
"Don't say it." Thanos interrupted her, showing an impatient mood. Loki took a deep breath, stroked his chest, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, Your Majesty Thanos, it seems that your requirements are very high, so what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to be a member, but I want to know the specific details of the plan."
"Purchase by time is also OK..."
"Loki . "Thanos snorted coldly and said, "How much benefit did they give you to make you work so hard to promote it?"
Loki was stunned by this question, but she shook her head and didn't say anything. Thanos said, "You are a smart man, and he is the same kind of person as my capable subordinate Ebony Maw."
"Is playing the role of a runner what you want?" Thanos sneered and said, "You can get more."
Loki restrained the fake smile on her face, she looked straight at Thanos, and Thanos continued, "I won't charge any membership, but I can give this resource to you, and you go to help me get a way to use their services for free."
Loki admired in her heart that Thanos was worthy of being the new universe Overlord, who knows all the bad things about human civilization, but Loki showed a look of embarrassment. Thanos then tempted her:
"Loki, even if this defection is really just your plan, there is only one God King in Asgard, your brother has everything, and you, you have no inheritance rights, and you have to run around for it. In this case, this is what you deserve..."
Ebony Maw also chimed in: "Your Majesty just needs their information network. As long as you can use their information network to send back the information we want at any time, His Majesty Thanos will not be stingy."
"Counterattack Asgard? When you shouted this slogan, did you have any sincerity?" Thanos looked into Loki's eyes and asked.
Loki lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes and sighed, and said: "Even if I say I agree, you won't trust me, right?"
"That's right, so we can try another way." Thanos snapped his fingers, and several figures came out from behind the throne and stood in a row with Ebony Maw. Thanos looked at them and said:
"You put my people in, and we will find the information we want ourselves. You don't have to worry about being exposed. I believe you should have many ways to do it quietly."
"Indeed, but what can you give me?" Loki was no longer pretending, and her voice became a little cold, like a real god of fraud.
Thanos raised his hands and said, "Whatever you want, I will give you!"
"What if I want the whole Asgard?"
Thanos was not surprised. He said, "Now, we are just a trading relationship. I will not pay such a huge reward for such a trivial gain, but if you pledge allegiance to me..."
"I am only loyal to Odin, the father of the gods." Loki replied.
The two looked at each other and did not continue the topic. The conversation between two smart people did not need to be explained too clearly. After Loki left, Thanos sat on the throne and said softly: "Odin... Nine Kingdoms..."
Ebony Maw stepped forward, saluted, and asked: "Great Majesty Thanos, who are you going to send to the Nine Kingdoms?"
Thanos glanced among the five obsidian generals, and finally set his eyes on the tallest Black Dwarf. Black Dwarf immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
When the other generals left, Ebony Maw stood there and said: "If the Sanctuary can provide us with good tactics and break the current bottleneck of development, it will be better. If not, it will not be a loss for us to plant a nail in the Nine Kingdoms."
"The only thing that makes me feel a little confused is that, Your Majesty, you sent Black Dwarf to sneak in... Of course, I don't mean to question your decision, but the loyalty of Black Dwarf..."
Thanos snorted coldly and said, "Of course I know he is not loyal. He just pretended to join me for the continuation of his own race."
"But I didn't want him and Loki to bring back any useful information for me. Wanting to know Asgard's strategy is just an excuse."
"Then you..."
"Odin has two heirs. He made one of them the new king of Asgard. Will the other one be willing?"
"Do you want to provoke a conflict between the new king and the eldest princess to deal with Odin?"
"My goal has always been Odin." Thanos leaned on the huge throne, like a towering mountain. His powerful strength and brutal rule brought him a strong aura that was different from those wise kings and belonged to tyrants.
"Only Odin will hinder my next plan. The rest..." Thanos stretched out his hand, pinched his fingertips, and said, "They are just small stones that will collapse at the touch of a button."
After leaving the throne room where Thanos was, Loki hurriedly followed the starport away from the dark quadrant. After making sure that he had left Thanos' sphere of influence, he picked up the phone and said to the other party:
"Bad news, only one of the five generals was caught, and he looks like an abandoned pawn. Should I bring him directly or take the risk of letting Thanos change him?"
In the conference room opposite, Stark frowned and looked at Schiller when he heard Loki say this, but Schiller was not surprised at all. He said, "It's not that easy to catch Thanos. He is a cosmic overlord after all. You just treat him as Odin. Will Odin be fooled by this?"
"He is willing to send someone here, which proves that what he said about not being interested in the Infinity Stones is completely bullshit. As long as he is interested, he will come sooner or later."
"What should we do next?" Loki asked.
"Who is coming?"
"It should be called Black Dwarf, very tall, and looks like a native of the galaxy near the Dark Quadrant."
Schiller frowned and said, "Bring him here, and leave the rest to us. By the way, let him drive a spaceship here, the kind you wrote in the information before, which can be turned into an army tank after disintegration..."
"No problem." Loki nodded and went to call Thanos.
Now, Loki found the benefits of turning it up high. Thanos thought he was on the fifth floor, but in fact he was only on the first floor. Thanos thought it was a scam by Asgard, but in fact, it was just the weak humans who wanted to get some new technology.
Therefore, Thanos agreed without any precautions. In his opinion, Asgard could cheat anything, but it was impossible to cheat this spaceship. After all, the technological content of this ordinary spaceship was far inferior to that of other Asgard spaceships, and it was useless for Odin to ask for it.
When the spaceship reached the dimension close to the solar system, Loki hurriedly cast an illusion on Black Dwarf, turning him into a tall dark-skinned human, and then urged him to get off the spaceship and teleport to Earth.
Black Dwarf was puzzled by her attitude, and asked: "Why are we in such a hurry? Shouldn't we survey the surroundings first?"
"This is the Nine Kingdoms." Loki answered while pushing Black Dwarf out. Black Dwarf was pushed out of the hatch and asked in confusion: "So?"
"Do you need to inspect your bedroom?" After Loki got Black Dwarf out, she began to prepare for the teleportation. Black Dwarf was about to say something, and a flash of light flashed, and the two disappeared near the spaceship.
Soon, the portal opened, and more figures descended near the spaceship. Looking at the huge spaceship, Stark waved his hand and said, "Get on board!"
"Wait!" Nick Fury, who came at the same time, stretched out his hand to stop everyone's actions.
"According to the Human Interstellar Passage Act, all items lost in the Milky Way and within 100 light years around the Milky Way will automatically belong to the only pan-human civilization in the galaxy after 100,000 years of no one claiming them..."
"...I forgot the last part, get on board!"
