Chapter 371: The Next Big Chess

"Soar into the clouds, take down the cosmic spirit ball and put it away, don't lose it!" On the Dreadnought, Chris gently threw the cosmic spirit ball to Chong Yunxiao, and Yongdu, Nebula, Peter Quill and others on the side were terrified...... Mamma Mia, this is a huge gem that can destroy the world, is it really good to be so inappropriate?

"Rest assured, the container made by this Gukri is very stable and not so easy to break, and as long as it is not in direct contact, the power gem is not too dangerous!" Looking at the nervous faces of these people, Chris explained with a chuckle.

Wait, shouldn't the Power Gem have been handed over to the system by Chris to devour, and then the energy in it was used to summon the two level 10 heroes, Dehaka and Nova? Or is it that in fact, there are no power gems in the current cosmic spirit ball at all?

The answer is that there are really power gems in the cosmic spirit ball, but compared to the power gems at the beginning, the one in it now is just a look......

Time goes back to when Chris first got the Power Gem......

"System, what benefits can I get from absorbing this gem?" Chris looked at the brilliant power gem in his hand and asked a little impatiently.

"You can unlock all heroes below Epic, or two Legendary-level heroes, and the host can use 50% of the power of the Power Gem," the system quickly replied.

“…… Wait a minute! Why do Power Gems unlock Legendary Heroes, but Space Gems cannot? And why can I only use 50% of the power of the Power Gem? And there are no other ancillary benefits? Anyway, the space gem can be unlocked with one more race technology! When Chris heard that the conditions were very different from the previous space gems, he immediately quit!

“…… Host: What do you think the Infinity Stones are? The system asked again in an obviously sentimental tone, but this time with a hint of helplessness.

"Isn't it the embodiment of the six basic forces in this universe?" Chris replied as a matter of course, this answer was said by many people in the previous life when he watched the movie, the collector, Odin, Thor, Wang, etc., how could he not know?

"That's right, but you should also know that although the gem is the embodiment of the six energies, it doesn't actually fully represent the six cosmic basic energies, right?" The system asked again.

"What's that saying?" Chris asked, frowning...... It's a bit contradictory.

"Host, you should know that the Infinity Stones are actually destructible if you've seen the movie!" The system says.

"That's right!" Chris nodded, of course he knew that the scene of Wanda's little sister destroying the Mind Gem on Vision's head was so tragic, how could he not know...... But this kind of thing will never happen again, Vision will definitely not have a chance to appear, and Wanda's little sister is also his.

"But the destruction of gemstones does not mean that the corresponding cosmic energy is also destroyed...... Otherwise, as soon as the gem is destroyed, the balance of the universe will be broken, and the universe will collapse! The system went on to explain.

"That's right, it's Li'er...... I see what you mean, that is, the Infinity Stones are actually just a prop that can harness the corresponding cosmic energy, right? Chris nodded.

"That's right, so the existence of the Infinity Stones, in addition to the six basic energies contained in itself, is actually the basic substances that make up them, and the six gems are completely different because of their respective characteristics, and it is these substances that allow the Infinity Stones to have the function of calling the six energies in the universe, and it is also the limitation of these substances that makes the energy carried by the other gems at one time limited except for the space gems...... This is also why the range of influence of each gem is limited, only the space gem can be continuously replenished to the point of almost infinite due to its characteristics, but the other gems are not, and need to be recharged...... Even if it's a very short time. The system explained, "And while I absorb the energy of the power gem, I also absorb this substance at the same time, which also means that in the future, like the power gem, I can constantly call the cosmic energy representing the "power" for the host to use, and the difference in rewards is also caused by the different properties of each gem. ”

"Wait, that's even more wrong......" Hearing the system's words, Chris immediately stopped, his eyes widened and asked, "Since you said that you have absorbed the power gem and can invoke cosmic energy like the power gem, then why can I only summon two legendary-level heroes?" ”

Since you can draw on the power of the universe infinitely, why can't you keep summoning? After recruiting once, wait for the energy to be full and then recruit?

“…… This is also what I want to say, in the past, the users of the Infinity Stones, after calling the energy, where do you think the energy goes? The host asked rhetorically.

"Uh......" Hearing the system's rhetorical question, Chris froze "This question...... If you follow the law of conservation of energy...... Then it will naturally return to the universe...... Do you mean that the summoned energy is really consumed and cannot be fed back into the universe? ”

"That's right, if it's normal use, then no matter how many planets are destroyed and how many people are killed, but its energy will eventually return to the universe, and then replenish the same amount again, forming a cycle, this is the real operation mechanism of the Infinity Stones, and only in this way will it not have too much impact on the universe!" The system says.

"Uh...... What happens if you draw too much energy? Will lead to the destruction of the universe? After listening to this, Chris understood it, but he still asked a little unwillingly.

"Of course not, in fact, even if all the heroes and even everything in the interstellar world are summoned, the energy consumed will not cause the universe to collapse, but then you will be in great trouble with the host!" The system sneered and said, "There is Sarnagar in the interstellar world, do you think there is no existence of the same level or even higher level in this world?" Inexplicably missing the energy of an entire Infinity Stone at one time, and not getting any feedback, do you think they can't notice it? Or do you think that a few more legendary-level powerhouses will be able to fight against the existence of that level? ”

"Then if I collect and accumulate resources and energy by myself and then summon them, won't it also consume the energy of the universe?" After listening to the system's words, Chris broke out in a cold sweat, but he said stubbornly.

"Of course it's different! Although it is said that energy is conserved, in fact, the entire universe is constantly expanding and growing, and when it reaches the limit, it will collapse itself, form a super black hole and re-transform into a singularity, and then explode again to form a new, bigger and stronger universe, and now this universe is still very young, and if you want to expand to a new cycle, there will be at least tens of billions of years, and how much new energy will be generated, no one knows! And the speed at which it grows, although not fast, is definitely not comparable to the speed at which you can collect energy resources by yourself! And why can you still use 50% of the power of the Volume Gem? This is also the maximum value that can be calculated without causing much of a difference, so you should get the idea, right? Seeing that Chris didn't give up, the system said with a sneer...... The main thing about this night is that such a simple addition and subtraction can't be counted.,I'm still self-destructing...... Shame on the chicken.

"I see!" Chris twitched the corners of his mouth and sighed helplessly, the system has said it in such detail, can he still not understand?

According to the system, the universe is a pool that is constantly storing water, and the Infinity Stones are the jars filled with water in the pool, no matter how you pour it in the pool, the water in the jar is still in the pool, and the total amount will not decrease, and the energy consumed by summoning heroes is equivalent to pouring the water in the jar directly into the pool. Then you can only control the amount of replenishment within half of the jar...... Because this speed is much lower than the rate at which the pond is filled, it is still not easy to detect.

As for Chris's own collection of resources and energy? It's like using a very small spoon to keep scooping water out of a pool, and it's impossible to store water faster than it can be.

"In that case, let's absorb it quickly! I choose to summon two Legendary-level heroes! Knowing all this, Chris glanced at the more advanced Legendary-level hero column with extremely regretful eyes, and then looked at the Legendary-level hero panel in front of him, and after a short period of consideration, he quickly selected Nova and Dehaka.

However, after selecting these two heroes to summon, Chris suddenly asked with a hot brain, "System, since you have absorbed the basic constituent substance of the power gem, can you divide it into a part to make a new gem?" ”

“…… Yes, but you must know that the material that makes up the Infinity Stones, which came from before the Big Bang, is extremely special, so it cannot be copied, it is not renewable, and the less you can, the less energy you can use! The system hesitated for a moment and gave Chris an affirmative reply.

"It doesn't matter, I just need a little bit, and the energy contained in it can probably destroy ...... Well...... An aircraft carrier is fine, but the gems should look the same size and shape as the original! Hearing the answer, Chris said with some excitement.

"It's not a big problem, I just need to leave the gem with an extremely thin shell, and then fill the inside with those energy crystals like the outside of the space gem, but in this way, although this gem has a certain power gem, it will become extremely fragile, and once it is attacked by more than its same level of strength, it will be easily shattered! Are you sure you want to do this? The system asked, a little puzzled, a little puzzled why Chris had come out with such a look.

"Of course, that's what I want!" Chris said with his eyes lit up.

Soon, the power gem in Chris's hand disappeared, and after a while, another identical purple gem appeared, the only thing that didn't make sense was that it was not as bright as the original one...... But those who have not seen it must not be able to distinguish this subtle difference.

…………………………………………

The cosmic spirit ball that Chris handed over to Chong Yunxiao was filled with such a plausible look.

As for why he did this, it was Chris who wanted to play a big game...... That's why he's still on the spaceship and hasn't returned to Earth right away.

As I said before, the galaxy is too peaceful for Chris.

Although the three empires sometimes clashed, they were extremely restrained, basically limiting the conflict to a manageable range, or simply supporting their own proxies...... For example, the Nova Empire is supported by the Xia Empire, otherwise with the ability of the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire for thousands of years, it would still be in the position of a first-class power?

And it is precisely because of the relative peace of the three empires that the three empires will develop the edge of the galaxy after dividing up the central region of the galaxy, or support the forces under their control to develop the ...... This means that there is not so much room left for the earth to develop...... If it weren't even for the fact that Earth happened to be in Asgard's sphere of influence, coupled with the presence of some Guardians, Earth would have been colonized a long time ago, just think of the secret war between the Skrulls and the Cree on Earth that was not so long ago.

However, the decline of Asgard is a matter of time, and when there is no such barrier, it will definitely be a very hurtful thing for the earth...... Safety cannot be said to be completely unguaranteed, after all, there is still a tenth-level Captain Marvel on Earth, and Thor who can grow to a tenth-level or even stronger Thor, not to mention that there are now Chris and his men.

But what will the earth pay in the process...... It hasn't happened yet, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

And if it is according to the ideas of Chris or those politicians on Earth, it must be before this happens, the bigger your own territory, the better, and the more populated the planet, the better...... Because this will not only bring them massive benefits, but also bring enough strategic depth to mankind......

So how important is sufficient strategic depth for an interstellar civilization?

The future Asgard is a good example of this...... It was because of Odin's conservative strategy that it was an extremely powerful civilization, but because of the "glory" of nothingness, it could only be trapped in a mere Asgard...... Isn't it sad enough for a galaxy's mighty power to fall to such an extent?

After all, there are too many planets in the entire galaxy that can destroy planets, and a planet or a planetary system is simply not safe.

The opposite example is the Skrull Empire.

As the weakest but oldest civilization among the three empires, why has the Skrull Empire survived to this day and has not been destroyed by the other two empires? Is it because they can fight? If you can fight, you won't be bullied by Kerry and Shea like this.

The reason why it has been able to drag on until now is because its territory is large enough, its power is not only in the Milky Way, but also in other galaxies, the population of the planet is large enough, and there are countless subordinate races under its command, and it can afford to consume it! And one consumption is millions of years.

You must know that star-destroying level weapons are pediatric for both the Kree Empire and the Xia Empire, and even the Xia Empire has weapons that directly destroy the planetary system.

If there weren't enough Skrull, what would have been destroyed a long time ago would not be able to be destroyed again.

And this has been proven many times in the not so long history of the earth...... In the recent Second World War, weren't the Axis powers consumed?

Of course, there is a premise here, and that is that you have to have the strength to seize this strategic depth, and if you don't have the strength, it's the Axis powers, or you will end up like the Dark Elves and the Frost Giants......

But there are many things that cannot be stopped because there is a possibility of failure...... Anything can only be won if you do it, and if you don't do it, then there will never be a chance to win!

And those superheroes don't think so...... In their minds, it is enough to ensure the safety of the earth, so why conquer and expand? That's aggression, it's wrong.

So not only will they not support the expansion of the planet, but they may also stop the expansion initiated by UED and Chris...... Why don't start a war, that will lead humanity into the abyss of war...... Believe it or not, as long as an alien affected by the expansion of the Earth cried in front of these people, these people would dare to do this......

Of course, not only the earth, but in fact, in the development process of any civilization, this situation will be encountered, and the final result is to see which side is stronger or weaker...... Asgard is Odin, the conservative, who wins, and the three empires are the Iron Will.

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and the pure thing is that the perspective is different...... This is also the true analysis of Chris's belief that "adults only talk about pros and cons, whether right or wrong".

If that situation really happens, then Chris can only say sorry to those heroes first!

And Chris believes that if the earth can have enough time and space to develop, the best way is to make the three empires completely chaotic.

This is because the core territories and dispute targets of the three empires are all in the core regions of the galaxy...... Because it is the starting point of a galaxy, it is also the most abundant in all kinds of rare resources.

However, the Earth is in a relatively remote part of the galaxy, and it is protected by Asgard, and even the most recent big power is a country that is not very aggressive like the Nova Empire...... However, as a subsidiary civilization of the Xia Empire, once the three major empires go to war, the Xia Empire will definitely focus on the battlefield with the Kree Empire, and there is no way to take care of the earth located in their relatively large rear.

Therefore, if the three empires go to war, it is extremely unlikely that the solar system will be affected...... The most threatening is the Bradat civilization of the Predators.

However, for the Bradat civilization, Chris also has a plan...... Don't Predators love hunting? Dehaka, the leader of the primordial Zerg, was for them...... But it's impossible to say who hunts whom.

And after these final hurdles have been removed...... Within thousands of light-years in the solar system, there are basically only a few small and medium-sized civilizations left...... As long as Chris supports him a little, he doesn't need to make a move, maybe the Earth government can solve it by itself, all he has to do is push it.

In this way, only one core problem remains, that is, how to make the entire three empires chaotic.

And this matter, according to Chris's thoughts, has to fall on the Infinity Stones and Thanos...... As for how to do it, in addition to the fake gem he just handed over to Chong Yunxiao, he had to rely on Peter Quell, whose eyes had never left the cosmic spirit ball in the process just now!

Anyway, in the original history, this thing was also a-stirring stick, and how could he also have half of the human blood, so for the rise of mankind, it is also appropriate to make some contributions...... So who do you pit if you don't pit you? What's more, his old bean is big and ambitious, if he can bring his old bean into the pit together, it would be great...... After all, that old thing is also ill-intentioned towards the earth, and he left a seed on the earth, which is also an unstable factor, and I have to find out that thing when I go back this time!
