Chapter 208: Trading
Being reasonable, being pointed at and scolded for being "stupid and bad", this is the first experience in Thanos's life,
Most of the time, the victims will basically stare at him with hatred and timidity, shouting for his mercy, or cursing him to hell, and then the purple potato head calmly harvests his life.
Thanos is convinced that his faith is indestructible, and the slander and praise of others are like a breeze on Thanos' face - everything I do is for a nobler cause!
However, when Leon used an all-round and multi-angle exposition to attack his personal ideals, Thanos was speechless.
Perhaps, Thanos will be able to stop those noisy remarks with the usual means of exterminating everything, but he knows that he has lost - on a psychological level.
What's more, Leon is fundamentally different from those previous victims - he is much stronger.
Thanos took a deep breath and silently clenched the Infinity Gauntlet, "You...."
"What are you?" Leon sneered.
"I...."
"What am I?" Leon was aggressive.
Thanos was silent.
"That's right." Li Ang was quite relieved and said with a smile: "Look, have we reached a consensus?" β
What consensus?! Wait, who's on a consensus with you?!
Thanos wanted to complain, but he endured it at the critical moment, he made up his mind not to say more, and one sentence of the province became three sentences to Leon.
"Very well," Leon nodded, "Personally, I don't hate you. Although you are stupid and bad, you at least have some backbone compared to those stupid and bad low-level criminals.
So, personally, I'm not going to do anything to you. β
οΌοΌ
Thanos, who was wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, felt that he was really a dog, and just now his mood was like riding a roller coaster.
Every time I couldn't help but want to lift the table and start to dry the fight, I was forcibly interrupted by the momentum.
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion,
Thanos, who was repeatedly slapped in the face, no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning, and he beat his spirit, and said to Leon with all his strength: ".... That is, you're not going to kill me? β
Leon smiled and said, "Personally, that's right. β
Thanos's heart was relieved, although he had been prepared desperately, but in the face of Leon, he really had no confidence in victory.
Besides, he came for quantum technology, although he can't get it directly from the Earth civilization now, but in thousands of years, maybe other civilizations in the galaxy will also point out the quantum technology tree?
Thanos, who had unconsciously surrendered his demand, just wanted to turn around and leave, but heard Leon say leisurely: "Slow." β
What's wrong with it?
Thanos turned around, his eyes filled with an emotion called "numbness".
"Personally, I don't want to destroy such an interesting foe as you, but my other identities constrain me."
Leon covered his forehead and pretended to be distressed: "Do you know, our Earth Federation is a peace-loving civilization, and we have joined the stage of galactic civilization for a short time, so we don't know so much about many things in the galaxy.
Therefore, I am not very familiar with some historical issues within the galaxy, and I don't want to intervene.
However, we cannot treat the voice of the people as if we have not heard it.
Now, a total of 1,843 civilized entities have filed lawsuits with the Galactic Tribunal in the form of petitions, or notices of special agreements.
You have been charged with multiple counts. β
"Wait, what?" Thanos finally couldn't take it anymore, "Lawsuit? β
"Yes,"
Leon didn't know where to pull out a thick folder, licked his fingers and began to turn the pages, while saying slowly:
"You have been making waves in the galaxy for so many years without getting the judgment you deserve, firstly because you are an extremely powerful transcendent in your own right, secondly because you have formed the illegal armed forces of the Dark Quadrant as your subordinates, and thirdly because you are in cahoots with the three corrupt and backward empires.
But all this should be corrected, our Earth Federation came to the historical stage of the galaxy for six words, fair, fair, or fucking fair. β
Leon raised three fingers and bent one down every time he said fair, with a solemn and dignified expression.
"The three empires have collapsed, and the Galactic Tribunal, which was originally formed by the three empires, is no longer applicable.
We, the Earth Federation, respond to the trend of the times, assume the heavy responsibility of the times, and work with many civilizations in the galaxy to elect representatives of each civilization and conduct an open, just and fair election of judges of the Galactic Court to preside over the overall situation.
As for the results of the judges' election, it is very fair and reasonable.
They are Professor Charles from Earth,
Dr. Matt Murdoch from Earth,
Jimmy McGill from Earth,
As well as the Central Brain Alpha, Central Brain Beta, Central Brain Gamma, Delta, Ipsilon, Interceptor, Aita, Sita, Jota, Capa, Brenda, Miu from Earth. β
Aren't these all people from the Earth Federation? Is this an open election? It's clearly predetermined, right? Doesn't it give people a sense of admiration? And the central brain ABCD in the back is obviously a number of places, right?! I reported that there was a shady scene here!
Thanos's face was suffocated into a dark purple, and he felt that his soul of complaining was faintly awakened, and he had to rely on all his strength to resist not complaining about Leon's words.
"Don't be surprised, how can there be a shady scene in the election of the Galactic Court? We earthlings pay the most attention to fairness, and there are tens of thousands of civilizations and tens of thousands of judges participating in the election.
As a result, I don't know why, all the participants voted for us earthlings, this is the voice of the people, and I can't help it. β
Leon spread his hands and sighed: "Professor Charles has a law degree,
Dr. Matt Murdoch is a barrister by day and a super-darredevil at night, and has a wealth of trial experience in Hell's Kitchen in New York City, USA.
And the central brain ABCD is not all a number of seats.,They were all the royal intelligent AI of the judicial department of the school park.,
As for that Jimmy McGill, you may not be familiar with it, but he was my lawyer in New York β and I am very pleased that he was a judge in the Galactic Court. β
If the word "cheeky" has any color, it must be Leonse.
Thanos was already a little tired and unloving, and he said numbly: "Hehe, the judges you said add up to 14, what about the other one?" β
"Good question, Chief Justice of the Galactic Tribunal." Li Ang smiled confidently, gave a thumbs up, and showed two rows of big white teeth, "It's down there." β
Thanos had a "sure enough" expression on his face, but he listened to the other party continue: "As the chief justice, I have a responsibility to prevent the suspect from fleeing the scene-
But before we do that, let's count your charges.
Well..... illegal manufacturing and sale of firearms;
the crime of organizing, leading, or participating in a terrorist organization;
the crime of organizing minors to carry out activities that violate the administration of public security;
child abduction; Crimes of ill-treatment;
the crime of forced labor; obstruction of justice; crimes against property; offences against public order;
Hey, there are even charges of producing, disseminating, and selling obscene materials... You're a pretty fancy kid. β
Thanos almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood,
The Dark Elephant restricts the manufacture and sale of arms, carries out terrorist attacks, forces others into slave labor, abducts children, abuses them, and even trains them to become terrorists such as Thanos' two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula.
He confessed to all these charges,
But what the hell is producing, disseminating, and selling obscene materials? Thanos doesn't remember that the dignified Dark Quadrant would do such a tasteless thing.
As if noticing the expression on Thanos' face, Leon smiled and said, "What, don't you remember?"
Don't think that the scum of society in the dark church has no physical needs, there are thousands of strip parlors on the dark quadrant planet you rule, which is clearly guilty of organizing obscene performances.
Think about it, the performance on the stage, in order to increase the performance effect, but also with dizzying music, lighting, how can children watch it.
In addition, the procurement department of the Dark Quadrant has also bought a large number of obscene audio-visual products from interstellar merchants many times and organized playback.
It poisoned the young minds of serial killers, interstellar pirates, and federal wanted criminals, and caused an extremely bad social impact. β
"Is this also on my head? I've never seen anything like that! I didn't organize anyone else to see it, it's all my subordinates' own actions! β
Thanos subconsciously retorted, and immediately regretted that he had intervened.
"Why doesn't it have anything to do with you? Isn't the place where they do their activities your venue? Didn't you pay for the audio-visual products they watched?
Don't tell me you didn't know that strip halls and midnight movie theaters exist above the Dark Quadrant. β
Li Ang said awe-inspiringly: "The fast broadcasts that only provide technology have been blocked, how can you escape from the relationship?"
No matter how wonderful your argument is, you don't deserve applause! β
At this moment, there seemed to be a thousand rays of light shining behind Li Ang, extremely dazzling, "Those charges against you are enough to keep you in the strictest prison in history for tens of thousands of years, suffering indescribable torture every day, and never ending."
Now, you'd better get yourself a lawyer or something to defend yourself - I'm sure the galaxy will be focused on you on the day of the trial. β
Thanos took a deep breath and said slowly: "I don't need any lawyer, if I am willing to accept the conditions of imprisonment, stay in that 'strictest prison in history' until death, and promise absolute cooperation and absolutely no resistance,
Can you make a guarantee? β
Leon was a little surprised, "What guarantee?" β
Very few people are able to keep their senses and continue to bargain with him after receiving a whole set of "Leon-style preaching".
"Maybe you have some truth in saying that the population problem in the world is not a simple numbers game.
But, after all, the problem is the problem, isn't it?
You also said that you have to take a more decisive and even radical approach to be effective..."
Leon said, "Go on. β
"I'm just offering a suggestion." Thanos said: "The three empires are in the past, and the current Earth Federation has gained orthodox and recognized dominance.
The right to rule exists, and it needs to be exercised and implemented.
Driving up housing prices, giving birth to fewer children, issuing decrees, popularizing ideas, so that in less than a hundred years, or even fifty years, the population problems known worldwide can be improved.
And I also believe that with the decrease in population and relatively abundant resources, under the overall coordination of the Earth Federation, the frequency of wars in the known world will be greatly reduced.
At that time, the more important macro peace will come, and in the whole process, the Earth Federation only needs to issue a few inconsequential decrees,
You don't need to do more, you don't need to do anything, you don't need to call the shots, you can undo countless tragedies.
As a bargaining chip, I will give up resistance very cooperatively, accept all arrangements of the Earth Federation, even if it is an endless prison sentence or even the death penalty. β
I have to say that Thanos has come to this point is indeed not only the reason for his extraordinary ability, but also his own unique villain charm has also played a big role - not every villain is good at changing positions.
"Would you rather stay in prison until you die than have these bills enforced?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows and said, "I have to say, you surprised me very much. β
Thanos said indifferently: "In the face of you, I am not sure of victory,
As I envision, my chances of winning are probably less than 20% β and that's if you don't have any extra hole cards and no other extraordinaries to interfere with.
I'm not afraid to be in a desperate situation, and I've experienced the worst of things countless times.
But what we're talking about right now is my life's long-cherished wish, and in order to achieve it, I can give up everything, my humanity, my conscience, my family, and even my own life. β
Thanos paused, and then said, "I only have a twenty percent or less chance to defeat or kill you, and there may be a mistake in any subsequent link,
I volunteered to go to prison and be tortured or put to death in front of galactic creatures, and I deserved it,
And if this deserved sin can directly achieve my lifelong goal with a 100% chance,
It's really a good deal. β
Thanos traded his life for the Earth Federation to implement a family planning policy within the galaxy.
This crazy Titan, who is clearly talking about his life, is as if he is haggling in the vegetable market, and he is calm.
"If you refuse this deal, then we will have to get into a senseless struggle, 20% chance I will defeat you, you will be defeated and die, I will gain nothing,
Even if you had an 80% chance of defeating me, you wouldn't get any goodβeven a few bites from a dying me. β
"And if you accept my deal, then I will give up my resistance, become a prisoner, and voluntarily be imprisoned in a prison. When the Earth Federation issues an implementation decree and the known world solves the population problem once and for all, I will accept all punishments with satisfaction, which is 100%. β
Thanos Yoyo said: "I only need one promise, one is enough." β
