Chapter 1042: The true guardian of the earth, two backers are about to collapse?
Nick Fury's eyes sparkled, "Is there a super magic circle on Earth?"
"Of course there is. If it weren't for the existence of the super magic circle, the earth would have long become a paradise for dimensional demons."
Nick Fury's eyes flashed, and then a picture was projected onto the big screen. It was the scene of Ancient One walking out of the portal.
"What is the relationship between the super magic circle and this wizard?"
"This wizard is the Supreme Wizard of the Earth and also the true guardian of the Earth. The super magic circle is naturally the work of the Supreme Wizard."
"Hey! I don't like what you said." Tony complained, "She is the real guardian, but what about us? The fake guardians?"
"That's right." Rhode said unconvincedly, "How many of you here can be called a superhero."
"I'm not." Aaron immediately raised his hand and said, "Among the people present here, only the Avengers are considered superheroes. The others are just regular people."
Rhode's face twitched, and he smiled with a forced smile, "In a word, that's what I mean."
"The Avengers are responsible for protecting the safety of the Earth, while the Sorcerer Supreme is responsible for dealing with troubles outside the Earth."
"One handles internal problems, and the other handles external ones." Aaron said concisely, "It sounds like the Sorcerer Supreme is much greater than the Avengers."
"That's true, because the enemies of the Supreme Sorcerer are all dimensional demons, and some of them are as powerful as the Heavenly Father."
"Is it so exaggerated?" Coulson asked in disbelief.
"That's just an exaggeration." Gel was very sure, "This universe is not as peaceful as you think, but full of dangers. Thor, the son of Odin, should be deeply touched by this.
Before he became an Avenger, he was either fighting or on his way to fighting."
“In fact, the Earth and the humans on it are very lucky.
Thousands of years ago, Horn Gaius either expelled or sealed away most of the threats to humanity on Earth.
The Supreme Sorcerer worked hard to build a super magic circle to resist the invasion of forces beyond reality.
In addition, Odin, the father of the gods, overpowers the nine realms, and the earth happens to be the middle of the nine realms, and is also within the protection range of Asgard. "
"In other words, the Earth actually has two Heavenly Fathers backing it?" Nick Fury said unnaturally, and suddenly felt that the value of SHIELD's existence had decreased a lot.
“You can say that, but neither the Supreme Sorcerer nor the Father of the Gods will act lightly.
You think that the Chitauri army, the mutant ancestor Apocalypse, and the artificial intelligence Ultron are huge crises, but they only see this as a test for humanity.
Unless there is a real world-destroying crisis, such as the Earth being swallowed by the dark dimension, they will just be bystanders. "
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other with different emotions.
Fortunately, they don't care too much and humans have great autonomy.
But they are helpless because they care too much. Most problems and even disasters need to be solved by humans themselves.
"But the luck of this planet will not last forever." Gel's words were shocking and brought everyone back to reality.
"What do you mean?" Ross asked.
“Thousands of years have passed, and Horn Gaius’s deterrent power has long since faded with the passage of time. Even my Lord had to hide himself to avoid being found by Gaius’ enemies.
The Father of the Gods has also grown old, and I'm afraid his protection of the Nine Realms won't last long."
"Isn't Odin the father of heaven?" Carter Slay asked in confusion, "Shouldn't he have a long lifespan?"
“Asgard is a tribe of gods. The average Asgardian has a lifespan of thousands of years, and the physical fitness of each person is no weaker than that of Captain America, Steve Rogers.
A very small number of Asgardians who are gifted or of noble birth possess godhood, but before their divine power awakens they are just... false gods.
This is what my master said, because my master is a magician, and for him, the God of Magic is the real God, and the God of Magic corresponds to the Father of the universe. "
"Odin, the father of the gods, is not only the father of heaven, but also the pinnacle of the father of heaven. He can even fight against a single cosmic-level strongman.
But Odin is not immortal. The gods of Asgard are very special. As they grow older, their divine power will gradually increase. When their divine power reaches its strongest, that is the end of their life.
Moreover, Odin had experienced too many dangerous battles, and some of the injuries involved laws and rules, which were difficult to remove and were eroding his body.
At this point, every consumption of divine power reduces his lifespan, and…"
"What else?" Tony asked curiously.
“Sorry, I’m not sure either.
My Lord just told me that Odin's power may have never stopped being consumed for some reason." Gel said a little embarrassedly, "It is certain that the earth was safe before Odin died. No one would provoke the God King who has reached the peak of power and has no scruples, unless he doesn't want to live anymore."
"How long can Odin last?" Ross asked directly.
"About ten years, no more than ten years, that will be the end of the Father of the Gods."
"Less than ten years?" Steve opened his mouth in surprise, then looked at the others, "Does Thor know?"
"No, he doesn't know. He definitely doesn't know." Tony smiled bitterly, "There is no doubt about that."
"Should we tell him?" Banner said hesitantly, "But I don't think he will believe it. In his mind, Odin has always been omnipotent and there is no way he can die."
"There's no way to contact him even if I want to." Natasha shook her head speechlessly, "I don't even know which planet Thor is on right now!"
"Can you find him?" Steve looked at Ger and asked.
"I have no obligation to help you notify Odin's son." Gol said, and then changed the subject, "But Odin is the father of the gods, and he will not die so hastily."
"Uh...what does that mean?"
“Legend has it that every Asgardian who dies gloriously in battle will be reborn in Valhalla, and Odin is the master of Valhalla.
My Lord speculates that Valhalla is Odin's true kingdom, and Asgard is just a country that selects talents for Valhalla. "Ger said earnestly, "When Odin's life comes to an end, it is like you humans going to heaven after death. You can see reality but cannot interfere.
In addition, you don't need to inform Thor, because Asgard has the Rainbow Bridge. If Odin wants to see his son, he can take him back at any time, and the father will definitely see his son before leaving."
Everyone:......
It makes so much sense that we are speechless.
"It's not that bad actually." Wanda said bitterly, "At least we still have a Supreme Sorcerer left."
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." Ger gave Wanda a kind smile, "My Lord speculates that the Supreme Sorcerer may be planning to retire."
"Retire?" Ross' eyes widened in surprise. "Is this the retirement I understand? Is this possible?"
Nick Fury couldn't hold it in any longer. "How can the Sorcerer Supreme retire? What right does she have to retire?"
"There could be many reasons." Geer pretended to count on his fingers, "Tired of fighting. The Supreme Mage has fought for hundreds of years to protect the Earth. If it were an ordinary person, he would have retired after working for a few decades.
The summons of Vishanti, the Supreme Sorcerer is backed by Vishanti, you can understand that he is the boss of the Supreme Sorcerer, the boss feels that the employee has worked too hard and lets her retire early. "
"Voluntary resignation or forced retirement, there may be other reasons." Tony sneered and then looked at Gel, "But this is just Gaius's speculation, right?"
"Although my Lord is young, he has experienced more than all of you combined. His speculation cannot be wrong."
"That means the Earth will lose two supporters in a short period of time." Coulson said the truth at an inopportune time, causing everyone to give him a resentful look.
That’s a very insightful point, but don’t say it again next time.
“It can be said that Ancient One and Odin are the fundamental reasons why the Earth is safe. As long as one of them is still alive, foreign enemies will not dare to invade the Earth.
But if they are all gone, there is no need for the Father to take action, as long as a powerful sub-Father leads an army to flatten the earth. "Ger said very seriously, "This is not alarmist, at least the Avengers cannot stop it."
"Earth isn't just about the Avengers," Nick Fury said.
"It's not that humans are incapable of fighting." Ross also said. Although he and Nick Fury disliked each other, they both expressed their attitudes at the same time.
After all, they all knew that this meeting was to pave the way for formal negotiations. If they lost, they would be led by the nose in the subsequent negotiations.
"It's good to have confidence, but let me ask you a more realistic question." Gel sighed, "If the gates of hell are not closed, can you still sit here for a meeting?"
Everyone:......
It hurts, it really hurts!
"We were not prepared this time." Ross tried to save his dignity, "If we could gather our strength..."
"For the Earth and humanity, is there any difference between a tragic victory and a tragic defeat?"
Ross's face flushed and he was speechless for a moment, because a tragic victory was a tragic defeat.
"Even if the Supreme Mage retires, he will choose a successor." Gel continued, and when everyone felt relieved, he added, "But how big will the gap between the apprentice and the master be?"
"Imagine." Aaron sighed softly, "Master can suppress Heavenly Father. After all, he has been the Supreme Mage for hundreds of years and has a lot of experience.
As for the apprentice... I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I am an alchemist, but even now I am not sure that my alchemy can surpass that of my teacher.
If a new Sorcerer Supreme takes over, I think he will definitely not be as strong as the current one, and the Earth will be on the defensive for a long time."
"Yes, this is also my master's speculation." Gel nodded in agreement, "Mr. Gaius, if you are willing to become a believer of my master, I think he will be very happy to accept it."
Aaron pretended to think, and silently gave a thumbs up to Gel and the thought body in his heart.
Not only does it further prove his "innocence", it also paves the way for reasonable contact in the future.
“I need to think about this.
Can you first tell me what are the benefits of becoming a believer? "
“If you are pious enough, you can enter the kingdom of God when my Lord leaves this universe.
It is a fantasy world where you will have a long life, wonderful experiences, and fewer worries.
If you are pious enough and good enough, you can become a follower of my Lord and receive my Lord's guidance, blessing, and even gifts. "
"That sounds good. Can you be more specific?"
"The details are all in the code." Gel said mysteriously, "This code was specially compiled by my Lord for the sake of order in the Kingdom of God."
"I'll find out when I get time."
"I promise you won't be disappointed."
"Aaron, I really envy your mentality!" Tony rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Everyone here is worried about the future of the earth, why are you so...special?"
"I'm not a superhero. You guys are here to hold up the sky if it falls."
"But Wanda is a superhero," Coulson said.
Aaron was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Wanda, who was sitting next to him, feeling guilty and not daring to look him in the eye, and sighed helplessly.
Given her stubborn personality, it's not easy to get her to quit being a superhero!
“Wanda Maximoff, your powers are connected to magic.
If you are willing to believe in my Lord, I believe that He will train you very patiently, and you can become one of God's favored ones."
Beautiful, why didn't I think of that!
Aaron secretly thought that this was a bad idea. If Wanda became his believer, everything would be much easier.
"No, thanks." Wanda refused awkwardly.
"Use it, of course!" Aaron said immediately, and then took the code from Tony and placed it in front of Wanda, "Listen to me, read it carefully, and learn it well."
"Ah, is this...appropriate?"
"Of course it's appropriate, why not?"
"That's not like you!" Steve said with some surprise.
Aaron ignored her and just watched Wanda explain earnestly, “By becoming Gaius’s follower, you can gain guidance, protection, and gifts.
Even if the sky really falls, we will be safe and sound.
At worst, you can just change the universe and continue living!"
Steve: …
Shit!
I was careless, Aaron is still Aaron.
"Enough of the jokes!" Nick Fury said speechlessly.
"Just liven up the atmosphere!" Aaron laughed awkwardly, "Don't you think the atmosphere here is very serious?"
"If Odin dies and the Sorcerer Supreme retires, the Earth will be at its weakest in history." Banner brought the topic back and then looked at Gol thoughtfully, "Since Gaius knows all this, he must have his own ideas!"
Nice assist, finally got to the point.
Aaron silently gave Banner an appreciative look. There were three of his followers in the entire conference room. With this pace... one can only say that everything is under control.
