Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

The human brain has a visual supplementation mechanism. People automatically generate what they consider to be the most suitable face in their minds, and covering it with an unclear veil makes it even more stimulating.

People watched the screen with fervor, hearing the conversation between the human emperor and the demon ruler who ruled Hell.

Hearing the emperor's calm yet domineering declaration pushed the passion and awe to their peak.

"Leaving with dignity is your only option, Velasco."

With a simple sentence, a thick, dark red bolt of lightning ripped through the sky above hell.

It will also become a classic that people will never forget.

The video ended with a freeze-frame.

There were no more words, no lines, nothing at all, yet the pride, fervor, worship of the Emperor, and longing for the Terra Empire in everyone's hearts were completely ignited.

"The Emperor, the great Emperor has finally appeared once again. He is God, he is the Messiah of mankind."

"Fuck you damned squid! The Emperor isn't someone chosen by God to save. The Emperor is the Emperor. He is the Emperor of Terra, the Emperor of all mankind. Get out of here, you damned bastards!"

"By the Emperor, I beg you, I want to join Terra. I am willing to offer my body and soul. I want to join Astartes and fight for you and for Terra."

"This is the power of the human emperor. He is the ruler of mankind and the savior of humanity. We should be ruled by him. This is the path for the future of mankind."

"Why is there only an immigration law? Why isn't there a law for ordinary people to immigrate? I want to join Terra too. Isn't this discrimination against ordinary people? Why only accept mutant immigrants?"

"Haha, this is the power of humanity. What demons? They're all just a bunch of trash to be slaughtered."

“That’s right. With the Emperor around, and with the protection of Astartes, the Ravens, and the Battle Monks, Earth is the safest place. We don’t need to worry about being invaded by those ugly demons in the future.”

"You're overthinking it, buddy. Trust me, they used to be the protectors of all humanity, but now that they've established the Terra Empire, they'll definitely protect the Terrans first, and us second."

"Fuck, I'm bringing my family to join Terra. I don't want to be visited by demons one day."

"The question is, do demons really dare to come to Earth now?"

The online discourse has gone completely mad.

Influenced by this frenzy, people vented their frustrations on social media, with countless people making requests online to immigrate to Terra.

Chapter 314 Terra, Where the People's Hearts Are With Us (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Many people are even dissatisfied with Terra's immigration law, believing it to be discriminatory against ordinary people.

Of course, they wouldn't dare to attack Terra's official website; even if they left a message, it would only be a humble request.

Terra's official strategy has been fully achieved, and the will of the people is now firmly established.

They didn't specifically edit the video footage from those battles on the border of hell; they just cut and shortened the time slightly.

After all, it contains a lot of repetitive or confidential information that cannot be disclosed for the time being.

However, these videos all have the potential to lead viewers astray.

Perhaps some people can see it, but so what?

This is a meticulously crafted nationwide media frenzy that can no longer be suppressed.

With the will of the people in mind, Terra will be able to reduce many troubles once it implements a unified strategy.

In fact, many high-ranking officials in various countries are well aware of Terra's actions.

Some people are very anxious.

Because they simply don't want that day to come.

They do not want to lose the wealth and benefits they have acquired. They are accustomed to the wealth they have built up under the old system through oppression, collusion, and gray industries.

They enjoy the present and hope to maintain the current situation.

However, these people knew very well that they were powerless to stop it and could only hope that superpowers like the United States would take the lead in resolving the issue.

However, even the superpowers are having headaches.

The White House Oval Office.

All the high-ranking officials had gathered together, but the atmosphere was different from the anticipation that General Ross had expressed when he proposed restarting the Super Soldier program. Now, everyone was silent.

Including Ross himself.

When the plan was proposed, he first had to find Dr. Bruce Banner, who had escaped and gone into hiding. So he had been sending his men to search the world in cooperation with the US intelligence agencies. So far, he has not found him yet.

"Gentlemen, I think you have all seen the videos released by Terra, and I believe your respective analysis departments have already analyzed the data of the soldiers in the videos, so I will not go into details."

"So, we now have a question."

"Right now, public opinion in the United States, and even the world, is pointing in one direction. Can anyone tell me what to do next?"

The president looked calmly at the group of high-ranking U.S. military and political officials in front of him.

He is now unexpectedly calm.

Because of the system, although he is president and wields considerable power during his term, there are still questions about the extent of that power.

His ability to become president was due to the support of a vast array of interest groups.

Therefore, many of the laws he promulgated during his tenure were actually biased.

This changes the nature of the principle that the power of the presidency is tied to responsibility.

There is responsibility, but not much.

More than anything, during his term in office, he has been feeding the vested interests behind him to the greatest extent possible, while also putting on a political show for the grassroots to gain some support and votes.

But the president is not a one-man show; he also has political opponents.

The political struggle between the two parties has been ongoing since the founding of the United States.

In many cases, they will likely step down when their term of office comes to an end.

In short, the president has never been the master of America; he is merely a person with limited authority over a limited period of time. There are too many masters in this country.

His contract is about to expire.

And judging from the current situation, his resignation is already inevitable.

So while Terra caused some trouble, the president didn't have to worry too much; he really is one of the few presidents without a dirty past.

He's not afraid that after Terra unifies the Earth, the landowners will beat him up.

Given Terra's emphasis on fairness, he will most likely land smoothly.

If that's the case, why is he in such a hurry?

He even had a fleeting thought of halting the Ross Super Soldier program, but he knew it was impossible.

After all, the plan was approved by a vote of all the senior executives, and he didn't even have the power to stop it.

In fact, this is one of the biggest hidden dangers of America's so-called democracy and freedom, with an extremely strong ability to coerce from the bottom up.

This force, driven by this interest group, cannot be shaken by individual will.

It's clear that the president has decided to give up.

He only hopes for a smooth landing; as for what others do, let them do what they want.

The president spoke calmly and nonchalantly, and his question left the high-ranking officials present looking at each other blankly, clearly unsure of what to say.

Ultimately, it was the new Minister of Defense who spoke up.

He was a white man in his forties.

"Gentlemen, we now have only two options. We can analyze those videos and conclude that conventional weapons, as we know them today, are ineffective against them, and even nuclear weapons are not."

"Their superior individual combat units have completely outpaced the technology and armaments we once took pride in."

"Now, we have entered the age of mythology."

The white male defense minister spoke slowly and deliberately, but both his wording and meaning were simple and to the point.

“Secretary Johnson, please continue.” The president gestured for the new Secretary of Defense to proceed.

The other senior executives listened attentively.

We can't afford to be careless; this concerns everyone, and no one can escape it.

To determine the future trajectory and how they should make decisions, they need to rely on this basic information.

Should we mobilize the entire nation to resist, wait for things to unfold and drift with the tide, or secretly surrender?

These are things they cannot afford to be careless about.

"We can now confirm that Hell is real. Based on our previous investigations, we discovered some unusual phenomena. Our analysis department can confirm that long ago, there were indeed a group of extraterrestrial visitors who were not human."

"Their technology far surpasses ours."

"We used to think that mutants were just a mutation of human genes, but now we have to suspect that this may be the work of extraterrestrial visitors."

"This means that we are never alone. We are always in crisis. Even without Terra, we would have encountered a global crisis sooner or later."

"In any case, the first thing we need to do is to abandon all delusions and give up those damn interests. We must work together."

Johnson was straightforward and didn't waste any words, putting the choice directly on the table.

In the past, no matter what was being done, the higher-ups would fight over interests, which caused many things to take up a lot of unnecessary time.

That won't do now. First of all, we need to reach a high degree of consensus so that this huge machine can operate without any sluggishness.

"Gentlemen, we must speed things up and give General Ross our full support."

Upon hearing Johnson's powerful words, everyone's eyes flickered slightly as they scanned Johnson and the silent Ross.

It seems the two have reached some kind of agreement.

But Johnson is right.

They won't so easily give up and surrender.

Chapter 315 A Dialogue Between Emperors (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Asgard.

In this land inhabited by gods, Odin is in the statue square.

A spacious and flat white marble square stretches out in front of the palace, with faint Nordic swirl runes engraved on the ground.

On the outer side of the square stands a gilded statue of Odin, several dozen feet tall, which gleams dazzlingly under the eternal pale golden light of the divine realm, making it the most eye-catching landmark in the entire area.

A stone-built open-air stage was erected in the center of the square, with layers of curved stone steps extending outwards, allowing people to sit on the ground and watch the performance.

Surrounded by gently curved log walls, the walls are carved with reliefs depicting the landscapes of the Nine Realms, while in the distance, layers of golden spires pierce the pale blue sky bathed in soft light.

In the distance, you can also see the mountains and rivers of Asgard.

Its natural landscape blends perfectly with Asgard's technologically advanced and opulent architecture.

Odin was not wearing armor, but only simple everyday clothes. He stood on the rooftop of the plaza, his hands resting on the granite railing, gazing at the beautiful mountains and rivers in front of him with one eye.

Behind them and not far away, one could see guards clad in armor and wielding spears.

Many Asgardian civilians were sitting on the stone steps, chatting quietly with ceramic cups in their hands, creating a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.

Asgard's system was well-ordered and clearly defined, but at the same time, the relationship between the king and the common people was relatively harmonious.

Of course, Odin's majesty was so overwhelming that ordinary people only felt respect and awe for him. It was unlikely that they would run up to Odin to joke and chat freely, except for elderly people.

In contrast, Odin's son Thor is more cheerful and approachable.

Thor's straightforward personality, coupled with the prestige he gained from years of undefeated battles, earned him immense popularity among the common people and the military throughout Asgard.

Loki paled in comparison; Thor was like a giant luminous body, and Loki was overshadowed by his radiance.

This made Loki outwardly silent, but inwardly he was already filled with jealousy and resentment.
