Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

“As your daughter, I will force you to go to the courtroom; as a Terran, I will also ask you to atone for the innocent people you have harmed.”

"You have no choice."

Skye stood in front of Jia Ying, took Jia Ying's hand and placed it on her cheek.

Jia Ying froze on the spot, then felt overjoyed.

You should know that her ability is to forcibly absorb life force; an ordinary person might not even last a second in front of her.

Therefore, Jia Ying activated his ability almost without thinking.

However, she was surprised to find that her abilities had completely failed; all she could absorb was the vibration transmitted through the surface of her skin, which caused her pain all over her body.

Jia Ying refused to believe that her ability had failed, so she stopped using it and tried again, but the result was exactly the same.

Skye's life force could not be drawn at all.

She stared at Skye in shock; there was no disappointment in Skye's eyes, only calm.

Skye knew that Jia Ying's thoughts and values ​​had long been distorted and driven mad by hatred and pain, so it was normal for Jia Ying to do such a thing under Skye's coercion.

"Surprised?"

"Your abilities are quite outstanding among those with supernatural abilities, but the things you see are too insignificant."

"Even if I give up my ability to let you inhale, you will be bursting in an instant."

Skye did not underestimate Jia Ying's abilities; Jia Ying could absorb the life force of an entire village of villagers to accelerate her self-healing.

But Skye's vitality is different from that of ordinary humans.

To put it simply, Skye looks like a human, but in reality, she is a completely different species from ordinary humans.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a mythical creature.

Her body contained immense life energy, which Jia Ying's fragile body simply could not withstand.

There was only one outcome: Jia Ying's body exploded, while Skye would at most feel slightly unwell.

Jia Ying was completely numb, or rather, she was in despair.

All her hopes were shattered, and her eyes were filled with resentment—resentment towards her daughter, resentment towards her for not understanding her, and resentment towards her cruelty.

The outcome was already predetermined from the moment Skye was born.

.......

Skye did not bring the afterlife back to Terra entirely; instead, she instructed the logistics department to take over the afterlife.

Although the location of the afterlife is isolated deep in the Himalayas, it does not mean that it is impossible to set foot there.

Terra's anti-gravity engine transport aircraft, the Quinjet combined with the X-Men's Blackbird fighter prototype, has been put into mass production.

This type of aircraft can fly even in extreme weather conditions.

The unique mountain environment of the Himalayas makes it even simpler.

Skye forcibly took control of the afterlife, but did not disregard the wishes of the Inhumans and forcibly take them away.

Instead, it offered a choice.

Those who cherish the past and are accustomed to life in the afterlife will remain in the afterlife, and Terra will deliver supplies, set up anchor points, and leave contact information.

This allows these elderly people to continue living peacefully in the afterlife, and also brings some modern technology to the area.

For example, building signal towers and establishing signal networks allows them to receive and watch television programs regularly, providing them with more entertainment.

He also promised to search the world for those persecuted "superhumans," send them to the afterlife, and let them make their own choices.

Young Inhumans travel to Terra with their young children, and at certain times they can apply to visit the Afterlife to see the elderly people they have known for many years.

It's equivalent to going out to work and study.

Terra's transportation system was so advanced that Skye specifically requested the construction of a fixed magical teleportation rune system in the afterlife.

It can reach places thousands of miles away in an instant, making it more convenient and faster.

As for Jia Ying, she was taken back to the capital of Terra by Skye, where she met Calvin and Whitehold, the man who persecuted her and caused the tragedy to begin.

Chapter 285 The Emperor's Palace (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Skye witnessed her mother's bloody and cruel revenge against Whitehold.

That kind of physical torture is enough to destroy a person's will.

However, this villain didn't even require Skye's special request; the Inquisition had already dispatched a combat monk to leash Whitehold's personality, which was in line with the tone set by Matthew.

The courtroom also implements this principle.

To be even more wicked than the wicked, simple torture and death are a kind of relief for the wicked.

He can offer no redemption to those he has harmed.

The victims are no longer visible, and the living judges don't care whether the torture was excessive; they just want to impose the heaviest possible punishment.

As for Skye's mother, Jain, this living victim of Whitehold personally carried out her revenge.

She will also be punished by the court.

Skye was already mentally prepared that the sentencing would not be lenient.

These things did not affect Skye's mood.

Because she needed to prepare for what was to come, Terra's first great expedition.

Terra has entered a state of combat readiness.

The ordinary people of Terra did not sense the impending storm; they continued to work and live with joy and happiness, gradually building up Terra.

Everyone cherishes the present.

Rachel stood in the city hall office, his attire changed, no longer as plain and unadorned as before.

The clothing they wore was made from everyday garments specially crafted by Terra's Logistics Department.

It aligns with the subjective aesthetic of modern men, while the depicted magical patterns represent that these clothes are equipped with extraordinary functions.

The office door was opened.

Natasha, looking dashing, walked in wearing a white shirt, jeans, and black platform shoes. She saw Reicher drinking coffee by the French windows and went over to him.

"How are you, Natasha?"

Without turning his head, Rachel asked.

"All preparations are complete."

"Unfortunately, the development of a beyond-visual-range strike system is still a long way off."

Natasha was slightly disappointed.

The three battle groups have long had their combat systems perfected, with the Astartes serving as the absolute spearhead and having the largest number of soldiers.

Ravens are the main force on the battlefield, responsible for inflicting casualties on the main battlefield. They support Astartes, carry out sabotage and harassment, and also engage in anti-air combat, making them a mobile combat group.

As combat monks, Grey Knights provide offensive magic, serving as long-range artillery turrets and support roles on the battlefield.

Basically, the responsibilities of the three major battle groups cover all the needs on the battlefield.

The only thing it lacks is the ability to conduct targeted strikes beyond visual range.

For example, long-range strike systems in the construction of modern armies.

To put it bluntly, it has some shortcomings in terms of saturation long-range strikes against the enemy's main fleet or certain areas on the battlefield.

This kind of long-range attack cannot rely on certain warriors' magical abilities or Devil Fruit abilities.

While Natasha's Glint-Glint Fruit, Skye's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and Reiche's Magma-Magma Fruit all possess the ability to deal large-scale long-range damage, they are all powerful and versatile fruits.

But this requires them to be on the battlefield.

What if they're not here?

This is clearly a deficiency in our combat readiness.

However, there was nothing that could be done. After all, Terra's starting point was already very advanced for humans, but compared to those races with civilizations that had millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people, it was considered slow.

The technological gap cannot be bridged in the short term.

Fortunately, Dr. Otto's artificial sun project has already begun.

Melina's Ministry of Science and Technology has already developed several beyond-visual-range strike terminal technologies for the artificial sun architecture.

Purely technological approaches don't seem to be working right now.

After all, that level of technology is beyond their current capabilities; they can only research it after acquiring and assimilating the technological knowledge of other advanced civilizations in the universe.

According to the Emperor, those scientists were a bunch of bug-level beings.

But that doesn't mean they can easily develop this level of technology.

The super serum was able to be developed and even continuously iterated because of the technical data left by Hydra's Alexander Pierce, the bodies of five frozen super soldiers, and the blood of the black super soldier Isaiah.

All of these factors combined are necessary for the complete development of the product.

There needs to be a foundation.

It's just wishful thinking to imagine that's something Wanda might be able to do in the future.

Therefore, the best approach at present is still to combine it with magic.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

This time, in the war on the border of hell, they will not be able to enjoy long-range support for beyond-visual-range strikes.

If technology is insufficient, human resources can make up for it.

“You seem to be thinking about something else?” Natasha sensed that Reicher was a little distracted, based on her intuition.

Observation Haki can sense a person's emotions, but it cannot sense those who have awakened Observation Haki at the same level.

"Yes, I think the emperor needs a palace."

"That's what Lei Che said casually."

This made Natasha raise an eyebrow: "With war imminent, how can you, as the War Commander, be thinking about this?"

"The war plan has been made. All that's left is to think about going to war. There's no point in thinking about it any further."

Rachel didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that when he decided to go to war, he had already gathered all the necessary information and had even considered all factors such as the war being prolonged, injuries, and deaths.

There's nothing left to improve, and he doesn't need to consider anything else.

"Why would you suddenly want to build a palace for the emperor?"

"It wasn't a sudden thought; I had this idea before. The Holy Empire of Terra is destined to unify the entire Earth and even expand into the solar system and the Milky Way."

Rachel shook his head: "However, after Terra was established, we never built a palace for the Emperor."

"This represents the supreme authority in the hearts of the Terrans."

The construction of the imperial palace, though seemingly extravagant and costing vast amounts of resources, was a burden for the newly established empire.

Terra is unlike any other nation that has been established. Although the core of Terra's people are ordinary people, it is actually positioned as a divine kingdom.

It is a divine nation that transcends ordinary humans.

In the future, as gene technology continues to improve and Terra unifies the world, the era of global evolution is destined to arrive.

All humans will shed their mortal bodies.

They possess a long lifespan and extraordinary physical qualities.

Terra is not short of money or resources to build a palace. The palace is not a symbol of extravagance and debauchery; on the contrary, it will become a supreme monument in the hearts of the people of Terra.

It is a religious totem.

It is more likely to stabilize public sentiment.

Terra has been established for so long, and the city has developed rapidly, but the palace belonging to Emperor Matthew has remained stagnant.
