Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

The moment Gravik uttered those words, the representatives in the UN conference room all changed their expressions.

The smiles on the faces of the viewers who were cheering wildly for the live broadcast just a second ago instantly froze.

Thirteen nuclear warheads.

And they were all placed in the capitals of well-known countries!

If these nuclear bombs were detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Not only will hundreds of millions of civilians be killed or injured, but it will also cause enormous losses to these countries!

"He's lying, isn't he? Please, just anyone, tell me he's lying!"

"It's over, it's really over..."

"How do we break this deadlock?"

"What else can we do? The remote control is in his hands. No matter how powerful the Arbiter is, can he possibly be faster than the other guy pressing a finger?"

The internet was filled with gloom and despair, and in reality, the citizens of those thirteen capital cities had all gone mad!

Although everyone knew that once a nuclear bomb exploded, there would be nowhere to escape, they still instinctively started to riot. Before the nuclear bomb was even detonated, several stampedes had already occurred.

On Chernobog's battlefield, the superheroes who were chasing the Skrull soldiers also stopped at this moment.

The heroes looked at each other, and could all read the same meaning in each other's eyes:

That's a dirty trick!

And there's simply no solution!

Just as everyone was stunned and bewildered by Gravik's words, Peter's voice rang out again:

"So... what are you planning to do?"

"I admit that letting you detonate the nuclear bomb was not a wise choice, but I don't think you would want the entire Skrull race to be wiped out as a result."

Upon hearing this, Gravik burst into another fit of maniacal laughter:

"What am I supposed to do?"

"I want you to kneel down immediately on a global live broadcast, kowtow three times to me, and then arrange for a spaceship to send me and my men away from Earth!"

"If you dare to use any tricks during this process..."

As he spoke, he pressed his thumb down another half millimeter.

"I'll make hundreds of millions of people on Earth die with me!"

The battlefield fell silent.

All the fighting stopped. Gwen, Tony, Sif, Wanda… everyone’s eyes were focused on Peter.

Audiences around the world were even more afraid to breathe.

The comments section went silent instantly!

Everyone cursed Glavik's despicable shamelessness in their hearts, but no one dared to say, "Don't agree to his offer!"

Those are hundreds of millions of lives!

This number is too heavy; no one can bear this responsibility!

Seeing that the arbitrator remained silent and made no move, Gravik realized that he had finally won this time!

His pale face gradually regained its color, and his voice returned to its former arrogance:

"Judge, my patience has its limits!"

"I'm giving you 30 seconds. Once the countdown ends, I'll make the civilians of those cities pay for my death!"

"30"

"29"

"28"

The countdown to Gravik resounded across the globe like the death knell of Grim Reaper.

Viewers watching the live stream outside those 13 cities held their breath.

The audience in those 13 cities were the first to break down, with cries echoing throughout the entire city.

Their comments flooded the screen:

"Please, Your Honor, kneel down... please..."

"Kneeling down won't cost me anything! As long as I survive, I'll consider you my idol for the rest of my life!"

"Don't be naive, upstairs. Do you really think that alien will let us go after the Arbiter kneels down?"

"Your city doesn't have any nuclear bombs planted, so of course you can talk nonsense without understanding the situation!"

"20"

"19"

"18"

The countdown to Gravik continues.

At this moment, he reverted to his usual aloof and superior attitude.

He thoroughly enjoyed the process, relishing the sight of that arrogant man being driven to the brink of despair.

Experience the feeling of more than seven billion people around the world bowing to their fears.

This is the true taste of power.

"12"

"11"

"10"

Seeing that Peter hadn't made a move, Gravik's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and his countdown became slower and slower.

No way, could that madman really be planning to make hundreds of millions of Earthlings die for him?

Isn't this guy supposed to be the guardian of Earth? Is he really that selfish?

Gravik slowly counted down, his eyes fixed on Peter, eager to see the moment the other man's knees bend.

Finally, Peter made a move.

But it wasn't the kneeling and begging for mercy he had imagined.

The damned Earthling just chuckled.

It was still that same smile that he found utterly repulsive—relaxed and nonchalant, as if it never took his threat to heart.

"I thought you had some amazing trump card up your sleeve."

Peter removed his hand from the Mantis woman's shoulder and uttered words that instantly made Gravik blush:

"That's the result?"

Gravik's smile froze on his face, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Is this guy really not going to take the bait?

"Judge, are you sure you want to watch those Earthlings die with me?" His voice rose several octaves.

"I'm not kidding, as long as I press this button..."

Before he could finish speaking, a clear female voice suddenly rang out on the battlefield:

"What button?"

The speaker was none other than Wanda!

Her voice was soft, with an upward inflection, revealing a pure curiosity.

Upon hearing this question, Gravik was taken aback, and then... he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Because he noticed a detail that sent chills down his spine.

Wanda has changed!

It's not some vague, ethereal change in temperament or aura, but a real, tangible change that's visible to the naked eye.

Her pupils changed from brown to deep red, and her clothes gradually transformed into a style resembling a cape.

And on her forehead, a dark red crown had appeared out of nowhere.

The crown was formed from crimson chaotic energy, and every angle emanated a chilling magical aura.

Feeling the heart-pounding magical fluctuations, Gravik's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on?

Why did this woman suddenly change like this? And what was the meaning behind her question just now?

Gravik instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Something is definitely not right!

He subconsciously looked down at his right hand.

During this process, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Because he suddenly realized that the remote control in his hand... had disappeared!

Instead, there was a lively toad with bumpy skin.

"Croak~"

The moment their eyes met, the toad even gave Gravik a friendly croak.

But that one shout caused Gravik's composure to crumble on the spot...
