The spacecraft's jump process was abruptly interrupted, and more than 20 spacecraft were successively affected. The giant hand formed by fear energy was beyond the power of these commercial spacecraft to resist.
Since merging with Doomsday's genes, the Yellow Lantern Ring's abilities have only been used as supplementary for Mebius. However, she has never thought of giving up the ring. After all, Doomsday's various abilities are all specialized for destruction, powerful but not as comprehensive as a complete Kryptonian. For example, if she didn't have the ring, she would have no other way to deal with these spaceships that were about to jump over, except to destroy them directly.
"What is this thing? A cosmic monster?"
The spaceship was pulled in front of her by the giant hand manifested by Mebius. Her hideous and hateful appearance was naturally seen by the person opposite her, and a new batch of fear was quietly absorbed into the yellow light ring. However, due to the small number of people, it could not make up for the consumption just now.
Mebius didn't continue to intimidate them because of this, but instead asked directly, "Do you want to live?"
Realizing that the monster before them was intelligent, the crew members nodded quickly; no one would give up their life without good reason.
"That makes things simple. If you want to live, tell me the location of Asgard."
Mebius made his demands, but the men's expressions changed and they became hesitant, because most of them had never even heard of the place, so how could they possibly meet his requirements?
Finally, the captain stepped forward and said respectfully, "Great being, we are willing to fully cooperate with all your requests, only asking that you spare our lives. However, we ordinary people are truly clueless about Asgard, the legendary land you are looking for."
Odin's era has passed. Thousands of years ago, he began to intentionally eliminate Asgard's presence outside the Nine Realms. Many aliens consider the Nine Realms to be just a legend, even though most of them could go there at any time.
Mebius wasn't the luckiest. Although he intercepted a few spaceships, these people's understanding of the Nine Realms was limited to having heard legends about them.
Left with no other option, Möbius had to settle for second best and began asking the other party about the location of Earth.
This time it went very smoothly. Earth's coordinates were not valuable and were casually included in a corner of the interstellar map. No one realized that this planet was the true center of the universe.
Once she obtained the coordinates, these people were no longer of any use to Mebius, so she prepared to let them leave directly.
However, just as she was about to dissipate the yellow light energy, the captain, who looked terrified, spoke up.
He realized that Mebius was not satisfied after obtaining the Earth's coordinates. In order to improve his chances of survival, he had to do something. This monster had threatened them with their lives from the moment they met. If they were no longer of any use and could not satisfy the other party, the outcome would most likely not be good.
“Great being, it is not impossible for you to find Asgard.”
“Oh…you continue.” Mebius temporarily abandoned his idea of letting them leave and asked.
"That's right," the captain said. "We're just ordinary merchants, and we don't usually collect these kinds of legends. But there are also intelligence merchants in this world who specialize in selling information, and their information is much more reliable."
"Are you suggesting I go and ask everyone else one by one? That's too much trouble. Who knows where the people who have this information are hiding?" Möbius complained.
The captain sensed something was off about the other person's tone and quickly said, "No trouble at all! We'll be at Xandar in just three more jump points. The intelligence brokers there will definitely be able to answer your questions. It's one of the best places to get information!"
On Xandar, Mebius pondered for a moment, and relevant information surfaced in his mind.
When talking about Xandar, one cannot help but mention another organization: the Nova Corps.
In the comics, this legion exists in a form somewhat similar to the Green Lantern Corps in the DC universe. They are all equipped with Nova Helmets, which grant them superpowers, and then they maintain order in the universe.
However, Xandar did not have the widespread influence of Oa. One side occupied the righteous cause of the origin of life (as the little blue people claimed), while the other side mostly fought alone and barely had the rudimentary form of an interstellar alliance.
Getting back to the main point, the comic book universe and the movie universe are different. Here, the Nova Corps still exists, but they have lost their iconic helmets and become somewhat mediocre, basically not leaving a deep impression.
However, Mebius still remembered it very clearly, because she knew that the Power Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, should be stored on Xandar at this time, under the strict guard of the Nova Corps.
“You make a good point. Then take me to Xandar,” Mebius said to the captain.
She could guess a little about what the other party was thinking. They simply wanted to use external forces to escape. The Nova Corps was quite powerful. She could tell from the fact that the Guardians of the Galaxy were willing to leave the Power Stone there. The other party was probably planning to seek help from Xandar.
It didn't matter, she was going to get the Power Stone anyway, and the struggle was inevitable, it was just a matter of sooner or later. Since she had just landed so close to Xandar, she might as well get the Power Stone first, since she couldn't possibly return to the battlefield in Asgard anytime soon.
As for the fact that Spider-Man and the others were left there to face Odin, after careful consideration, Mebius realized that he didn't actually need to worry about it.
First of all, Deadpool is invincible; he's the kind of person who brings endless trouble, so his safety is completely negligible.
Secondly, although she didn't know much about Spider-Zone, Mebius believed that at least Spider-Zone's spatial abilities were quite impressive, and even if she couldn't defeat him, he should have a good chance of escaping.
Finally, Tiamat's situation depends on whether she can be truly ruthless. If Tiamat decides to create a non-degraded version of Doomsday that will absolutely spiral out of control, even Odin, the Godfather, will likely be in a terrible predicament.
Of course, all of the above only indicates that the three have certain advantages. In a real battle environment, it would not be surprising if Odin, with his profound experience, used any means necessary. Moreover, Asgard is, after all, the enemy's stronghold, and they must not be careless when fighting on foreign soil.
There was only one reason that truly put Mebius at ease: Karl's presence.
There aren't many people who can make her feel safe; besides herself, only Carl is one of them. The fact that her group members can call Carl at any time is the source of her relaxed state of mind.
By reclaiming some of the yellow light energy, Möbius lightened the constraints on these ships to the point where they could use warp drives.
The captain was somewhat surprised that the other party agreed so quickly. He thought he would have to persuade them for a while and promise not to contact the Nova Corps. He didn't expect that the other party would just decide to go over there.
Forget it, how could he know what the monster was thinking? Maybe the other party simply hadn't thought of that. After all, judging from its ferocious and terrifying appearance, it didn't seem like a creature skilled in the mind.
In any case, as soon as the warp ends, his fleet will directly attract the attention of the Nova Corps. He is an old merchant fleet and can appear very close to Xandar. He doesn't need to use any distress signals. The Nova Corps' detection devices will actively detect them.
The captain activated the warp drive, but a thought popped into his mind: the other party's quick agreement, besides being foolish, could also mean that they were so powerful that they were not afraid of the Nova Corps at all.
The moment the idea came to mind, it was immediately crushed by the captain.
How could such a thing be possible? Even if the other party captured his entire fleet using methods he had never seen before, their abilities were beyond anything he had ever witnessed.
However, the opponent was alone, while the Nova Corps was an entire force. No matter how strong the monster was, it was impossible for it to fight against them alone.
The captain shook his head, and then the entire fleet began its official leap.
Space distorted three times in a short period of time. Mebius forced his way into the cargo hold of one of the ships and came with the team to Xandar.
This was her first time experiencing a jump; she had never felt it before.
Although the lamp ring can also function as a spaceship, allowing the user to travel through space, she previously had better options for travel, such as teleportation via the Speed Force, the Mother Box, or the Spider-Child teleportation.
The reason she isn't using the yellow light ring to travel is that the ring hasn't collected enough wormhole data yet. This function is accomplished by the ring's technological components, which need to take into account the differences between the two universes.
If her lamp ring were a blue lamp ring instead of a yellow one, then this problem wouldn't exist, but in that case, she still wouldn't be able to get the ring.
Because the emotion represented by the blue lamp ring is pity, and what she is about to do has absolutely nothing to do with pity.
Upon arriving on Xandar, Mebius ignored the fleet, instantly leaped out of his spaceship, and headed straight for the most prominent and imposing building on Xandar.
The captain was dumbfounded. He had been planning how to ensure his safety before the Nova Corps arrived, but the monster had unexpectedly chosen to attack.
"Warning, warning! You have entered the restricted area. Please cease flight immediately and submit to questioning."
Mebius received the Nova Corps's alert, but she ignored it and flew even faster.
Seeing that things were not going well, the armed personnel responsible for maintaining order immediately rushed up in their fighter jets.
These spaceships don't look very big, and the cockpit can only accommodate one person. When they take off, they look like shining crosses.
In the interstellar era, such small spaceships, which appear to be unarmed and lack any heavy weapons, should theoretically serve as cannon fodder in wars. However, they are the Nova Corps' primary weapons.
Xandar is known as the most open and inclusive planet, welcoming aliens from all over the universe every day. Here, people live in harmony and have created a prosperous world together.
But without power, there is no prosperity in the universe. Xandar dared to open itself to other aliens, which naturally meant it had the resources to not be afraid of trouble: the Nova Corps.
Several Cross Starships formed a small squadron, and their starlight linked together to form a large net of pure energy.
This isn't just about distributing energy and then configuring it; the Nova Corps has truly connected the energy together. Now these ships are a single entity, and this energy network perfectly integrates all the power of the squadron, making it easy to intercept even giant meteorites.
The two sides continued to close the distance, neither showing any sign of slowing down.
Then, boom...
The energy network, which had been given high hopes, dissipated directly, and Möbius landed on Xandar.
The day of destruction for Xandar has come.
Chapter 331 Monster Legion VS Asgard
The words are divided into two parts.
Even after the unexpected events in Asgard, Mebius launched a surprise attack on Xandar. She did not change her course of action and prepared to directly attack Xandar and seize the Power Stone.
Meanwhile, those in Asgard were not idle either; war had broken out.
A spatial portal appeared behind the spider, and a million-strong army of white spiders poured out, their densely packed red eyes incredibly eerie. Tiamat, on the other hand, unleashed a black ocean from beneath her feet, and as the chaotic seawater surged, countless magical beasts were conceived and formed within it.
Generally speaking, when two armies face off, they will first select their generals in front of the enemy lines.
This approach has many advantages: it can boost the morale of the winning army, gather intelligence on the enemy, and make appropriate preparations during actual combat to reduce one's own losses.
Odin really wanted to do that. His army was mostly composed of orthodox Asgardians, in other words, his subjects. It didn't seem like a worthwhile business to use such precious people to wear down monsters that looked like mass-produced goods.
However, neither Spider-Man nor Tiamat knew anything about military strategy. As soon as the battle officially began, they immediately led out their troops and gave the order to charge.
White spiders the size of carriages and various magical beasts were mixed together, their numbers numbering in the millions. They had already filled one end of the bridge, requiring the spiders to open up their personal space to allow them to remain on the battlefield.
The spider waved its hand silently.
In an instant, the monster alliance surged forward like a flood bursting its banks, charging forward with overwhelming momentum, completely without any strategy or formation, simply charging forward.
Odin had no choice but to order his entire army to meet the attack, and the two sides clashed instantly.
His side had far more combat experience. The army established several lines of defense and divided into different types of soldiers, each with its own duties. Some soldiers wore heavy armor and were specifically responsible for resisting the pressure at the front, while others were equipped with ranged weapons such as bows and staves, and were firing at will.
The power of the monsters and spider clones was far beyond that of ordinary beasts, but they couldn't break through the Asgardian defenses for a while. The soldiers used shields to perfectly intercept the spiders' sharp forelimbs and the monsters' fangs.
Most of the equipment used by the Asgardian forces is made of Ur, a metal unique to the Nine Realms in the Marvel Universe, and is associated with Vibranium and Adamantium.
All three metals are magical. Vibranium can absorb vibrations and is extremely difficult to destroy. Adamantium is the result of mixing other metals into it to enhance its strength. Ur is slightly inferior in strength, but it has an advantage that the other metals do not have: it can be enchanted.
Odin's spear of eternity, Thor's hammer, and later Stormbreaker all used Ur metal. While mass-produced equipment isn't as powerful as artifacts, it shouldn't be underestimated.
The battle cries of the Asgardians were deafening, their fighting spirit immense.
The first charge failed, which emboldened the Asgardians.
However, neither Spider nor Tiamat showed any emotion, and simply replenished their lost forces in silence.
"Kill! Kill all these monsters that dare to invade us!!"
"Odin's beard, there are just too many of these damned monsters."
"Shield Guards, hold on! The first line of defense cannot collapse!"
As time went by, countless monsters died, and their corpses piled up on the battlefield, quickly forming a high wall made entirely of corpses. New monsters even had to climb over the wall before they could fight the soldiers.
As Odin watched this scene, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper; his fears had indeed come true.
The Asgardians are all fierce and brave. With their superior equipment and tactics, they completely overwhelm ordinary monsters. And indeed, since the start of the war, they have killed countless enemies.
However, no matter how good the equipment or how well the coordination, Asgardian troops could not avoid losses in war.
According to Heimdall's rough calculations, the current casualty ratio between monsters and soldiers is about one in a thousand. It would take the sacrifice of thousands of monsters to kill a single soldier from the enemy ranks.
But Odin understood that even if the odds were against him, it would still be his side that suffered losses, let alone a thousand to one. The enemy's casualties could be easily replenished, but his own lives were extremely precious, and no matter how many monsters he killed, he could not recoup his losses.
Spider-Woman's personal space can store clones. These clones are not only an army, but can also be used as a backup plan to revive her if she unfortunately dies in battle. So she creates clones whenever she has free time, and she has accumulated an unknown number of them by now.
Tiamat can produce monsters on the spot, but she can cover the Indian Ocean with Chaos Tides in just 7 days. She has the ability to fill a planet with life in a short period of time, so she has no shortage of troops.
