Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

"Yes, and very powerful, even able to briefly contend with your father god in Asgard."

Frigga's words weighed heavily on Saul's heart.

"Father God, he..."

“He’s getting weaker and weaker, and perhaps he can only rely on all of us now.” Frigga cut off all of Thor’s thoughts.

"We alone may not be enough."

Thor is much more self-aware now than he used to think he could do anything except Odin.

Now, after being hit hard, his frog-in-a-well mentality has completely disappeared.

A real and true God the Father, what more can be said?

Although his strength improved rapidly after he unlocked the exile mentality, he is now only at the level of the sub-Father, far inferior to the Father.

Furthermore, the special characteristics possessed by his sister are so great that even the entire Asgard combined would not be a match for her.

Thor now realizes that Asgard's so-called strength is actually built on Odin's power.

It is Odin's power alone.

Thor thought of Terra.

Apart from Emperor Matthew, the Terra Empire, along with the three major warbands led by Reich and Natasha, had fewer warriors than Asgard.

However, its overall strength is astonishingly powerful.

Basically, they are all at the level of the sub-Father, and their top combat power can even reach the highest level. They can even briefly contend with a relatively weaker Father.

And what about Asgard?

Thor fell silent.

Chapter 422 Terra's Population and Land Area Surge (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

This phenomenon is actually quite frightening.

very scary.

Because many powerful civilizations in the universe have structures that are essentially a highly ordered yet chaotic progression.

Asgard also has a traditional cultivation system, from recruiting new soldiers to training, unlocking potential, and learning and growing, improving oneself step by step through bloodshed and war.

He eventually became the commander-in-chief.

This is already an incredibly stable structural system for Asgard.

For example, the demons in the Hell dimension. A Hell dimension kingdom consists of a standard demon lord and countless high-ranking and low-ranking demons below him.

Its lords and high-ranking demons are completely outmatched.

To put it bluntly, the entire Hell realm, across all dimensions, operates on a tribal model, with a chieftain at the pinnacle of power leading countless demons in a savage, wielding immense authority over them.

But Terra completely defies this common sense.

What does it mean to be able to mass-produce a large number of sub-Celestial level warriors in a very short time?

For example, Thor, as long as he doesn't offend any higher deity than the Father, will generally receive extremely high respect in the universe.

Putting aside his status, Thor was already an elite-level warrior.

Basically, even the most arrogant and powerful civilizations wouldn't easily provoke someone like Thor. Of course, it's not impossible that there are bad people among them, and then various coincidences lead to the two sides becoming enemies.

Thor has also traveled through the universe and encountered many such sordid things, but he has always escaped unscathed.

Those whose individual combat capabilities reach the level of a sub-celestial father already possess extremely strong destructive power.

This destructive power is terrifying.

The space pirates in the universe are mostly weak individually, but when they team up, they can cause headaches for many powerful civilizations.

Not to mention individual ones, a few guerrilla tactics can make them incredibly disgusted.

Capturing the Father is not so simple.

Even if they were caught, the cost and losses would be immeasurable.

Each of them possessed a distinguished status and position.

For example, Thanos, who was normally a sub-father but became a notorious warlord in the universe.

The Director of Family Planning's regular combat strength is at the level of a sub-celestial father, but he is renowned throughout the universe, partly due to the massive army he himself built.

There's also the fleet he built himself.

Thor, who understands the law of the jungle in the universe, knows the value of mass-producing near-Celestial level warriors in a short period of time.

Mass cultivation, or in a short period of time.

Thor had no doubt how terrifying the Terran Empire would become if given some time.

While the Midgard is still largely a product of ordinary human civilization today, what about ten years from now? Twenty years from now? A hundred years from now?

For a race like Thor, which is immortal, this time is just a negligible part of life.

For Terra, however, it was a golden age of expansion.

Thinking about this made Thor gasp.

While he was happy, a desire also arose in Thor's heart.

The desire to compete.

After being banished to Earth, he returned to Asgard, and after the trial of Loki, his ambition for the throne was essentially reduced to a minimum.

But now, because of Terra's stimulation, the flames have been ignited instead.

Terra is not an enemy, but it can be a target.

One goal to strive for is to achieve the same as his father Odin, who was able to elevate Asgard to an incredible height. As Odin's son, he should also be able to do so.

However, the flames were quickly extinguished after they had just started.

He still needs to deal with Ragnarok first.

“Mom, this is a crisis affecting all nine realms. Father God is in a deep slumber and in a weakened state, and we don’t know when he will awaken. We need to gather everyone together to overcome this crisis and fight against Hela,” Thor said to Frigga.

Frigga was delighted to hear this.

Because she heard from him that Saul had changed his mindset.

Instead of being reckless, arrogant, and conceited, a qualified king should understand how to form alliances and find friends and allies to fight against powerful enemies.

“Go do what you want to do, Mom will support you. What are you planning to do next?”

"I need to talk to Loki first."

"Thor said in a deep voice."

.....

Earth is witnessing a highly anticipated event.

That is, five small Eastern European countries collectively held a referendum to fully join the Terra Empire.

It wasn't an annexation; it was a small country voluntarily joining.

It was only through the strong appeals and repeated marches and referendums of ordinary people in these small countries that this was brought about.

In fact, without external pressure, many people, whether civilians, military personnel, or government officials, are eager to join Terra.

After all, these people believe that since they have no serious criminal record or crimes, why wouldn't they join Terra and enjoy all of Terra's benefits?

Why do the original Sokovians and those mutants enjoy the best welfare and treatment in the world, while they are impoverished in their own country and rack their brains for a little bit of food?

It's important to understand that the weather and drinking water issues alone are already extremely critical for them.

As a small, landlocked country in Eastern Europe, coupled with its geographical location and environment, the summers are unbearable in the absence of air conditioning and adequate power infrastructure.

It's not uncommon for hundreds of people to die from the heat every summer.

If there were natural water sources, at least nature could provide them with some natural cooling, but unfortunately, they don't even have that.

This makes cooling down and drinking water two extremely critical issues.

Now that these small countries are bordering the Terra Empire, which is now developing rapidly and has the highest national happiness index in the world, why don't they hurry up and hold a referendum to join?

The governments of these small countries also do not reject it.

Apart from a few corrupt high-ranking officials who were unwilling, other government officials were not opposed at all. What are you doing? Are you going against the will of the people?

Even if a few troublemakers cause trouble, these corrupt high-ranking officials can still gain power. However, when the vast majority of the people, and even soldiers and military personnel, are united as one, this power can be taken back at any time.

What is power?

There are people who can follow orders and act accordingly, forming this hierarchical structure. But if no one follows you, then this so-called power simply doesn't exist.

As a result, those corrupt officials who wanted to cause trouble or flee were all suppressed in no time, imprisoned, and put to trial in the court after joining Terra.

The names of these five small countries are Sylcaria, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, and Luxembourg.

These small countries don't have very large populations.

The total population is 508.9 million, and the total land area is approximately 9.96 square kilometers.

Undoubtedly, this led to an explosive increase in the land area of ​​the entire Terra Empire.

Chapter 423 The Expansion of the Terra Empire (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Terra originally spanned approximately 110 kilometers east to west and 93 kilometers north to south.

After conversion, it is 1.023 square kilometers.

It can be said that with these five small countries joining Terra, not to mention their five million people, their land area has increased more than ninefold.

The increase in land area also means that the upper limit of the population that can be accommodated after development is increasing.

This is a major positive development for Terra.

As for Hell's Border, it is still under development and construction. Before development and construction, Hell's Border is not suitable for full immigration.

Firstly, in terms of gravity, the basic physical requirements for Terrans become extremely high.

At the same time, there are also city-to-city links between the two dimensions, which require the construction of a robust two-way transmission network. These transmission networks also need to be built and precisely calculated.

Such a massive project cannot be accomplished so easily in a day or two.

At the very least, immigration to the borders of hell can only begin after the Earth is unified.

The addition of five small countries to Terra immediately ignited a global frenzy.

Actually, the small countries bordering Terra had already generated a lot of buzz by encouraging them to join Terra.

The whole world is watching Terra.

Various experts from different countries are also analyzing the impact of Terra's agreement or disagreement.

There is a hidden meaning here that deserves attention: if Terra agrees to let neighboring small countries join and merge into Terra, it would be sending a clear signal.

Terra will inevitably have to decide to reach a unified state.

This idea had been around for a while and was considered a consensus, but Terra had not given a clear response to it.

Without a clear answer, speculation remains just speculation.

Since Terra chose to agree, this conjecture is essentially a settled fact.

This news instantly sparked heated discussions around the world.

The topic has gone viral on social media.

"Damn it, Terra has finally sent out a signal, hahaha, they really intend to unify the earth, great, those damn parasites should be wiped out, how many people have they harmed, my homeland is like Sokovia before, suffering from poverty and war."

"That's right, but unfortunately this time it didn't include my country. My compatriots have suffered so much, but at least we have hope. Look at the people of Terra, how happy they are now."
