The Xia Empire, the imperial capital.

An unknown room, where light flows in elusive ways, as if the stars twinkle in the endless night sky. The walls are a deep darkness with a cosmic undertone, dotted with looming Milky Way and constellations.

A large round table dominates the room, with a fluid surface that resembles some kind of liquid metal. At the table were several Terrans with crests of feathers on their heads, with human-like appearances and ornamental feathers on their forearms.

These are the Hia, the first native race of the empire at the beginning of its innumerable galaxy, and who are still the ruling race of the empire today.

Surrounded by all the people in this room, the tall and muscular man was markedly different from them. Tie Qing's resolute countenance, a red battle flag-like cloak, a red-blue bodysuit, and an inverted triangle mark on his chest.

The aura and shape belong to the type that is pulled to the DC next door to take a turn, which will be considered an infringement of the big blue scouts.

His code name is Sword Fighting. Many sunspots like to say that he is a copycat superman, which is pure nonsense. Except that it looks a little alike, it's completely different.

For example, superpowers. The main abilities of Sword Fighting include, Flight, Super Speed, Super Strength, Thermal Vision, Cryo Breathing, Perspective, Microscopic Vision.

Well, yes, definitely not a copycat Superman.

He is the captain of the Supreme Guard of the Xia Empire and the strongest warrior known in the universe.

And now he was in a meeting with his cronies.

"The Empire has decided to support the independence of the Trigonian colony?"

Doujian frowned.

"But that would divide the country. Trigang should be our ally, isn't he? ”

"That's true." A high-ranking official shrugged, "But the Supreme Council has already made a decision. ”

"Divisions often lead to war. As a rule of thumb, that would lead to a civil war in Trigon. Doujian said.

"That's true." The cronie nodded, and continued, "It's okay to fight, they will have something to do when they fight." If they're busy fighting themselves, they won't have time to fight other planets. ”

"That's it."

A Xia with a triangular head feather sprouted and sang a harmony with a smile.

"We don't have to make a policy again."

“.”

Doujian let out a long breath: "Okay. Let's not talk about this one. What about Thanos? ”

"A few days ago, Ebony Throat was seen leading a fleet on the northern border of the Empire, but it could not be tracked." Someone among the officials of Shea said, "As for Thanos himself.

Intelligence claims that Templar 2 has been in the G-710 galaxy since half a month ago. Thanos' Third Guard has captured the fourth planet of the system, and the front is steadily advancing.

Word has come that they plan to march into Xandar next. Ronan, the Kree mad accuser, seems to have formed an alliance with him. ”

The Temple-2 is a famous battleship in the universe and is Thanos' mobile palace. Most of the time, discovering that ship is tantamount to marking Thanos himself.

Rumor has it that Thanos has been sitting in that toilet chair for the past ten years, and his ass is like sticking to it, and he hasn't moved the nest for ten years.

"Still fighting?" Doujian frowned, "What about the Empire's side?" Hasn't the High Council ordered him to be taken down? ”

Fighting Sword doesn't like Thanos very much, and every time he hears his name, he is ready to move. He had never fought the crazy Titan head-on, and there were rumors in the universe about how Thanos could fight, but Fighting Sword always disagreed.

In his opinion, he is the one who can fight the most.

But this self-confidence is actually necessary for him. Because Doujian itself is a very abstract idealistic star, and unlike most people who secretly rely on idealism to hang up, idealism is his character design, the kind written into the setting.

To put it simply, the more confident you are, the stronger you will be in sword fighting.

When he thinks "I'm good", he will really be good, and all his abilities will be increased explosively, and the upper limit is extremely exaggerated. But on the contrary, if he feels that "I can't do it", then it really can't work, and his strength will fall directly from the altar to the abyss in an instant.

However, it has been many years since he has met an opponent in Sword Fighting, and he has not lost a head-to-head battle in the universe since he took the position of captain of the guard.

So now his confidence has swelled to a considerable extent. With the blessing of his current state of idealism, he can fly faster than the Empire's fastest warships without the need for stargates and curvature jumps, his body strength is strong enough to withstand the damage of a supernova explosion, and his strength limit has exceeded the measurement limit many years ago.

So how strong it is now, he himself doesn't know.

That's why, after Thanos the Mad Titans became famous over the years, he has been looking forward to the opportunity to fight in person. Fighting sword is a natural warrior, and self-confidence is also a fight. He likes to take out prestigious opponents head-on as a way to prove himself time and time again.

It's a pity that the boss never gave him this opportunity.

"The order of the council is to do nothing."

"Again?" Fighting Sword was a little displeased.

"Yes. It is clear that the existence of that Mad Titan is in some ways beneficial to the interests of the Empire. The official smiled, "If we really wanted to, he would have been arrogant a long time ago." ”

Doujian frowned: "What about the place that can be attacked by Thanos?" The people there will be killed and wounded innumerable. ”

"Unfortunately, yes." "Our hearts will be with them." ”

"What if they ask for help from Shia?"

The official shrugged: "Then we will give them all the support and let them know that we are on one side." ”

He paused and added, "Except for helping." ”

Fighting Sword pouted.

"So what if the Interstellar Union asks us?"

"Then we'll take a 'four-step strategy.'" The official said eloquently, "In the first step, we declared that nothing had happened. ”

Speaking of this, the other officials also came to their senses, and followed suit: "In the second stage, we said that something may happen, but we should not take action. ”

"In the third stage, we said maybe we should take action, but we couldn't do anything."

"In the fourth stage, we said maybe we should have done something, but now it's too late."

“.”

Doujian muttered for a long time: "Is this really possible?" ”

"Of course, it's all tried." The official patted his chest and slapped the package ticket, "This is the crystallization of the experience and wisdom that the empire has summed up over the years." Never missed a beat. ”

"Okay."

Doujian didn't ask again on this topic, but he still seemed a little disappointed that he couldn't find Thanos PK.

At this time, an official received an urgent communication. After reading the briefing, his expression immediately became serious.

"What's wrong?" Doujian asked.

"Emergency. On the borders of the Empire. ”

The officer looked up and said.

"The report says that while the mutant creature 'Caixis' was raging, a giant of light from the starry sky instantly crushed it with overwhelming force."

Doujian jerked up from his chair, his eyes flashing red.

"Giant Zero!?"

"The report says that it is a giant from the starry sky, emerging from the energy of countless light particles. Preliminary observations have an upper limit of immeasurable strength and speed, can transform the body into a pure photon state to transmit and reorganize, and has an extremely high level of energy control skills."

The officer said, looking up and saying.

"To sum up the description. Yes, it looks like it's probably 'Giant Zero'. ”

"Good, good."

Doujian rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"So far, there has been no news, but I didn't expect that thing to be still in Xia. Good, very good. Prepare a battleship for me. ”

He stood up from his chair and shook his cloak handsomely.

"I'll meet him myself."
