Chapter 1373: Aftermath (Medium)
"I killed her! It was I who killed this damn slut! Wang Fu's voice sounded like a scream, and it sounded like crying, and he slammed his hand on the ground and said, "This damned woman only married me to win over the nobles, but she doesn't know how to be loyal at all, and this is what she deserves!! ”
But at this time, Schiller showed a look of surprise, he touched his lips lightly, and said: "I identified His Royal Highness as the murderer, originally I just wanted to interfere with the line of sight, I am just an ordinary human being, how can there be evidence?" I didn't expect it to hit it crookedly, it seems that my luck is good. ”
"You damn human, I'm going to kill you!! I'll kill you!! "The prince was completely insane, and he rushed up from the ground, waving his sharp claws and struck at Schiller.
Schiller stood still, looking at him with a smile, and in the next second, Asgard's divine power, the gloves of the steel suit, the magic of Kama Taj, and even Thanos's arm and Star-Lord's sword all attacked the prince.
The queen's husband can indeed use the divine power of the two gods, but in the face of so many powers, it is just a drop in the bucket, and with a "bang", the prince was sent flying.
Thor's face darkened, and he looked at the prince with a cold gaze and said, "You mean, not only did you murder your wife in Asgard, but you also dumped her body at my banquet?" ”
With the thunder in the sky above Asgard, all the guests bowed their heads in silent silence, for fear that Thor's gaze would scan over them.
"I never knew that the Xia Empire was so bold and reckless." Odin opened his mouth to add another fire, "The people of the Xi'a Empire I met at the beginning were very friendly. ”
Thor's face became even colder, everyone else present could hear what Odin meant, when the father of the gods was in power, the Xia Empire did not dare to move, and as soon as Thor took the throne, they came here to make a big job, isn't this a clear saying that your new king is not worthy?
"Calm down, Thor." Loki stepped forward at the right time, he glanced at Schiller's face, in fact, there was no need for Schiller to remind him, and several people around him also knew how to deal with the current situation.
Thor stood in silence, as if a dark cloud was constantly accumulating the power of thunder, and at this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and a group of people dressed in the costumes of the nobles of the Mengyu clan of the Xia Empire rushed in, they were the ministers who accompanied them.
They threw themselves on the ground, cried for a while, then rushed forward and punched and kicked the princess, and finally fell on their knees and trembled to ask for Thor's forgiveness.
They knew that now was the only chance to save their lives, and that they had to appease the wrath of the God-King and make Thor realize their worth before they could be imprisoned instead of killed.
"This is also completely the personal behavior of the prince, it just happened to happen in Asgard, Your Majesty the God King, I think, you should contact the Council of Elders of the Xia Empire immediately, we are willing to express our greatest apologies for this matter!" The leading nobleman of the Mengyu clan said loudly.
He knew that Thor could take advantage of this, and the lion opened his mouth to demand compensation from the Xia Empire, and even if he got the compensation, he could declare war and then plunder, it was the Xia Empire itself that handed the excuse for war to Asgard, so it was not too much for Thor to ask for more.
Therefore, it's not that he wants to betray the country, sooner or later he will have to hemorrhage, let this god king calm down early, maybe he can save his life.
The dance floor was already filled with the whispers of the guests, and in any case, it was a bit too out of place to make such a fuss at a banquet hosted by the God King of Asgard, and no matter how bad the tempered men of Asgard were, even the best temperamental civilization could not tolerate a foreigner to do so.
"Your Majesty the God King, please calm your anger, although this matter is not Asgard's fault, but since it has happened, it must be resolved." A trembling old man stepped out of the crowd, and Schiller thought it might be a member of the Cosmic Elders, but it wasn't clear who it was.
When he was watched by Thor's gaze, the old man trembled, and another figure more familiar to Schiller walked out, it was Gao Tianzun.
Gao Tianzun sighed with his wine glass, and pulled his companion, as if he had no hope that the Asgardians would be angry, so he just said perfunctorily: "Remember to notify us when the fight starts, don't break my collection again like last time." ”
After saying that, he pulled his companion and wanted to leave, but at this time, Thor's voice sounded: "Do you want to let Asgard declare war on the Xia Empire instead of me?" ”
Gao Tianzun's movements stiffened, he gritted his teeth, and the cursed words lingered in his mouth for a moment, but he still didn't speak, he knew that this young king was no longer the reckless man covered in blood in the gladiatorial arena.
He is a veritable God King of Light, and when faced with any God King questioning whether someone is usurping his power, the best reaction is to apologize quickly, so as not to let the other party have too many opportunities to be suspicious.
"I definitely didn't mean that, Your Majesty the God King, I just think that such a provocation from the Xi'a Empire is too rude, and it is reasonable that you will declare war."
"But I'm not going to do that."
When Thor's words fell, everyone looked at him in shock, and Thor gently stroked the pattern on the chest of the gown with his hand, and said, "This is indeed rude to the extreme, and I am very angry, and there is no member of Asgard who can tolerate someone ruining the banquet in such a way." ”
Everyone listened in silence to Thor's next words, the powerful god-king would decide the next interstellar situation, and to be honest, the vast majority of civilizations did not want war.
Immortals fight, mortals suffer, the war between the three empires, the most dead are not the members of the three empires, but the subsidiary civilizations within their jurisdiction, the thousand-year war between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire is not broken, it is because their main ethnic groups are too few, and most of the astonishing casualties are cannon fodder of the subsidiary civilizations.
No one likes to be cannon fodder, they just can't resist.
Even though they knew in their hearts that it was impossible, the leaders of some of the civilizations present were still lucky, what if? What if you can't fight?
But another voice in their hearts is telling them, don't dream, just the temper of the reckless men in Asgard, no one provokes them, they all have to fight five battles in three days, the Xi'a Empire is so jumpy to death, the new official takes office and has to take three fires, why can't the new king take the throne and fight all the three empires again?
"Asgard will not declare war on the Xia Empire."
When these words fell, the silence on the dance floor became more and more deafening, and everyone was shocked to look at me and I look at you, as if to confirm whether they were hallucinating.
"But it's not because I'm not angry enough, or because Asgard can tolerate provocations, it's just that I know that Asgard has brought too much death and destruction to the stars over the years."
Thor lowered his head slightly, and said in a mournful tone: "It is our nature to be strong, destruction is our mission, and it is not our intention to become a natural disaster, but the path we must go through." ”
"But I know that bloodshed and death are not the end of civilization, and that bullying and slaughter are neither just nor necessary, and that Asgard will surely embark on a path of civilization like other creatures in the universe, so why can't it be today?"
Thor stretched out a hand and slapped his chest, saying, "Now we must hide our anger in our hearts, and no longer stir up the waves of war, but take our share of responsibility like other powerful beings in the universe." ”
Everyone present looked up at Thor, and the young monarch's words made everyone feel a kind of heartfelt shock.
Not because they chose peace, but because they were so strong that they could have grabbed the benefits of victory, they chose peace instead.
But at this moment, an untimely cold snort came from the crowd, and a purple figure stood at the end of the corpse with a wine glass, staring at Thor standing in front of the corpse, and Thanos had no fear in his eyes.
"Your Majesty the God King, allow me to introduce myself, I am Thanos, a member of the Star Security Committee of the Ring Star Region, and I am afraid that I must have to discourage your public speech, because I have seen two shelves full of reports on the destruction of a certain star sector by Asgard in the interstellar security file."
"Your Majesty, do you think that your speech can erase the catastrophe that has befallen these races?"
Suddenly, the sound of cold air in the entire banquet hall was louder than the sound of the wind outside the window, and under the stunned appearance of everyone, the hidden emotions could be roughly boiled down to one sentence - "Don't be spicy?!" ”
"Mr. Sanos, I think I have something to say about this." Thor raised his head, looked around and said, "Asgard admits that it has brought disaster to countless civilizations and races, and we do not deny the crimes of our destruction, nor do we intend to erase this history with great force. ”
"But it is precisely because of our strength that we have the confidence to say to everyone that if we want to take responsibility for interstellar security, then in the future we will be able to protect more races than we have destroyed."
"If you dwell on the past and keep us out of the interstellar society, then the historical scars caused by the moving natural disasters will never be erased, and at the same time, the possibility of a better future for the interstellar society will be erased, right?"
A perfect answer, the smart people present thought, instead of dwelling on whether the past is right or not, it is better to tell everyone bluntly that the dead can no longer speak, and the destroyed civilization is worthless, it is better to think about the future, do you want to continue to have a mobile natural disaster, or a powerful empire that has scruples and may be able to ensure the safety of some civilizations?
"With all due respect, Your Majesty the God King, I'm afraid you think about interstellar security too simply, even if the three empires join forces to create a ring to solve various interstellar affairs, interstellar security still plagues the leaders of all powerful civilizations."
"Asgard, as a god race with a population of less than one-thousandth of the main ethnic groups of the three empires and a territory of less than one-ten-thousandth of an empire, how can we talk about contributing to the security of the galaxy?"
"There have also been discussions within Asgard about this......
Thanos and Thor, who were standing at the end of the corpse, said a word to me, spreading out the doubts in the hearts of all the leaders of the interstellar civilizations present, breaking them apart and explaining them clearly.
Although not all answers were perfectly expected, Thor's ability to understand people and reason with his attitude had already made everyone overjoyed.
It's really not that they are low-demanding, it's that the previous Asgard was too outrageous, they are already so strong, and they love peace so much, what else can they say?
After the end of the Q&A, the leaders of all the civilizations present had only one thing to do, stretched out their hands, tensed the muscles of their arms, and applauded with the greatest strength and enthusiasm.
Schiller, who was standing on either side of the corpse, smiled at Stark, and Stark smiled back, the plan may have changed, but it also achieved all the desired results, the duel may have happened, but in the end, it was still a perfect cooperation for everyone.
