Chapter Ninety-Six: The Next Nuclear Deterrence

"Shall we just leave like this?" Lan asked, looking at Li Jie. It was already the second day after Li Jie used collapse therapy to get the news out of Big She's mouth. Li Kit didn't plan to spend much more time in Asgard, he was already ready to return. As for Li Jie leaving in such a hurry, Lan was still a little puzzled: "Aren't we waiting for Thor?"

"And Rockie's xxx. That's it?" Arashi used an unsightly word to describe Rogie. Li Jie shook his head and said to Lan, "God is selfish. I now know what the serpent did. Aside from the fact that he was going to kill me, he actually had no grievances with me. ”

"I'm even in favor of him in a way. After all, what does it matter to me if the kingdom of God kills all the gods in the dark, and all the gods are killed?" Li Jie did not hide his attitude towards moths when he said this: "If everything the big snake said is true, then what he did is actually right in my opinion. If those gods were like that, they all deserved to die, and there was no excuse for them. ”

"I don't like those who are above all beings, whether they are gods or demons, if anyone thinks that they are born superior to others, and can wantonly exploit those who they feel are inferior and intelligent, then they will always be overthrown and slaughtered one day, and violent revolutions will always break out. It's just that I didn't think that the snake was originally born as a privileged class, but he opposed his own privileged class. ”

Li Jie said and waved his hand: "Everything that the big snake did cannot be said to be wrong. But everything he did was not in Asgard's interests. I now understand why Odin stopped the serpent back then. Maybe Odin knew why the serpent did this, maybe he didn't. But whether he knows it or not, he will have such a choice, because he wants to protect Asgard. What the serpent has done, even if it is righteous to some extent, still seriously harms Asgard's interests. Asgard will be destroyed. ”

"So Odin will stop the serpent no matter what, it has nothing to do with right and wrong, and he is in his place. Now that we know this, we can't meddle in these things. I'm sure the Ancient One wouldn't meddle in these things. I kind of understand the reason why the ancient mage built the earth to not allow any gods and demons to come like Tietong. He has been keeping the earth from becoming a colony of those gods, and not letting the earthlings become slaves to be exploited. Li Jie shook his head.

"In this way, Asgard is a better kingdom of God. Like Odin or not, the friendship between Earth and Asgard will endure. The Ancient One continues to be friends with Odin, and I need to be on good terms with Torrogie. Lan saw a little helplessness in Li Jie's eyes.

Li Jie shook the thought in his heart and continued: "But on the bright side, at least the big snake scared most of the kingdom of God away. They all withdrew from this universe. So this universe has developed quite well over the past thousands of years. If it weren't for the Great Serpent, perhaps the earth would still be enslaved by various kingdoms of God. ”

Lan glanced at Li Jie: "So you still admire the big snake very much?"

"Say what kind of words you stand on, his enemy, my hero. The serpent is naturally the big bad guy for most of the gods, but he does things that are good for us. In fact, I even understand a little bit now why Odin didn't kill the serpent and sealed him instead. "Li Jie and Lan returned to Earth through the Rainbow Bridge, but now their villa has been destroyed, so there is no place to stay for the time being. Li Jie plans to borrow a few days from the house of the richest guy in the Illuminati.

Just as the two were about to go to Tony Stark's house, Li Jie continued to say his thoughts to Lan: "Actually, what Odin did was also right, he didn't kill the big snake but just sealed, to some extent, it was a deterrent to those kingdoms of God. ”

"Deterrence?" Lan glanced at Li Jie.

"Yes, like nuclear deterrence. The most deterrent time for a nuclear weapon is not when it is launched, but when it is on the launch pad. Because you never know who this nuclear warhead is aimed at and whether it will fall on your own head. What the Great Snake did back then was to establish a deterrent system, and the prophecies of those gods may be right, or some of them may have been specially made up by people with intentions. Li Jie fiddled with his fingers and thought.

"The big snake was sealed, and it was like putting the nuclear warhead back on the launch stand. The kingdom of God and the gods are on the lookout. Because according to legend, he will set off the final Ragnarok and slaughter all the gods. Li Jie glanced at the Statue of Liberty in New York. His mood fluctuated slightly.

"Terrible enemies are not those who have raised their butcher's knives against you, because when the enemy raises their butcher's knives, then you must raise your sword to resist, whether you have faith or not. The scary thing is that you don't know where your enemy is and where he is attacking from. That's what the sealed serpent looks like. Both the Heavenly Court and the Western Heavens have fled, for they may have people who are proficient in time magic and prophecy, and they have detected that the Great Serpent is about to awaken. They were afraid, so they ran away. ”

"But now the worst has happened, the serpent has awakened. But his strength became unusually weak. Li Jie said that there is a bit of a contradiction here, because it was caused by him when the snake's strength became weaker. And the situation at that time did not allow the strength of the great snake to weaken. Because it is impossible for Li Jie to let the Heavenly Hammer of the Seven Deadly Sins set off a bloody storm on the earth.

"The current Great Snake doesn't have enough power, so isn't the prophecy about him self-defeating? If the Divine Kingdom that was slaughtered by him back then knew about the current situation of the Great Snake, what do you think they would do?" Li Jie looked at Lan. Arashi didn't reply, but her pupils dilated. She already knew the results.

"But the serpent's retaliation is not the worst. To make matters worse, the sword of Damocles that hung over the heads of many gods has disappeared. That's the scariest thing. If they knew all this, if they found out that they could do whatever they wanted, what would happen to them?"

Lan looked at Li Jie: "So you guessed all this, what are you going to do?"

"Now there is an Ancient One Mage on Earth, and there is also a sealed Monkey King. But I'm not sure the two of them will be able to intimidate all prying eyes, especially since the Ancient One Mage is not young and his strength is fading. So maybe it's time to look for another nuclear deterrent!" Li Jie's eyes flashed.
