Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

The world’s best private hospital is in Terra.

Terra is also home to the world's best amusement park.

Terra boasts some of the best cultural and natural landscapes, if not the best, but certainly among the best in the world.

The air here is literally fresher, and living here for a longer period of time truly promotes longevity.

After all, the drinking water for all people in Terra is diluted with serum, which is an invisible benefit for those living in Terra.

These benefits are clearly stated on the official website.

At the same time, the bank established by Terra is the most confidential and secure in the world, connected to the international market, and its currency has top-tier value.

All these factors will elevate Terra's commercial value to a considerably high level.

The management team at Kara has built a very strong and effective business structure.

For legitimate businessmen, this is a huge market; although the population is not large, it attracts too many wealthy people.

Countless wealthy individuals with capital know that Terra's unique medical resources, livable environment, and confidential banking system are rare resources that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

Obtaining a business license in Terra is equivalent to having a continuous channel to wealth.

For true businessmen, this is a vast fertile ground for wealth. While the local resident population is not particularly large, Terra's policy incentives and unique, scarce resources act like a magnet, continuously attracting wealthy individuals from around the world.

The business framework spearheaded by Kara has eliminated the layers of exorbitant taxes and cumbersome administrative barriers found in many countries.

As long as merchants abide by Terra law, there is no deliberate policy suppression, the approval process is clear and transparent, and administrative departments will not arbitrarily interfere with the normal operation of the market.

Clearly defined rules and boundaries across all industries and a fair competitive environment dispel the biggest concerns of foreign capital.

Countless wealthy people flock to it, and the reasons are clear and straightforward.

For those seeking to maintain good health and improve their well-being, Terra offers unparalleled drinking water benefits and a top-tier healthcare system.

For those seeking a relaxing vacation, Terra's cultural attractions and integrated theme parks boast world-class amenities.

For those seeking to safeguard their assets, Terrabank's exceptional confidentiality and stability are unmatched by other financial institutions.

A large number of high-end service industries have flourished as a result.

Private medical institutions, high-end resorts, art exchanges, and multinational business offices have been established one after another.

The influx of wealthy individuals brings a massive amount of liquid capital, stimulating local consumption and creating numerous stable jobs. Terra residents can also continue to enjoy the benefits of economic development, forming a virtuous cycle.

These remarkable achievements in improving people's lives are something that any intelligent person can agree on.

That means Terra really values ​​fairness.

Fairness is just a concept. Many things may not be absolutely fair, but Terra can achieve the greatest possible fairness and can quickly adjust when it discovers unfairness.

Terra will immediately investigate and make changes as soon as there is feedback.

Terra's laws are very strict, better for good people and worse for bad people, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to some who advocate freedom and democracy.

The comments and feelings expressed by tourists visiting Terra actually form a scale.

People outside Terra can see both the good and the bad of Terra through these tourists.

Terra doesn't hide anything; as long as public opinion isn't too extreme or inhumane, Terra won't intervene, showing it very frankly to everyone.

In a way, this is also a kind of sincerity from Terra.

This kind of sincerity is the most touching. Terra tells the world that Terra will not pretend to be something it's not. They will not suppress public opinion because of their powerful military force, or even the Emperor's unique and terrifying power. Terra knows how to develop.

He knows how to make the people under his rule better and happier.

For someone like Hill, Terra unifying the Earth would obviously be a happy thing.

Especially given that there are all sorts of powerful life forms and civilizations beyond Earth that are eyeing us covetously, Terra becoming the leader of humanity is the right choice.

Why did Hill resist?

Hill also has aspirations. Her ability to join S.H.I.E.L.D., to gain Fury's trust through repeated training and missions, demonstrates that her ambitions already surpass those of ordinary people.

Given the prevailing trend, and considering that Terra is positioned at a higher level than S.H.I.E.L.D., Hill wouldn't be foolish enough to oppose her.

On the contrary, she, like Hawkeye Clint, hoped that day would come.

She had long been fed up with the filth and darkness within human civilization, and she wanted to bring those bastards and scum to the court of judgment.

Lady Hill also wants to join Terra, become a warrior under the Great Emperor, and contribute to the growth of human civilization.

Hill thinks this way, and so do Clint, Coulson, and others.

That's why Nick Fury was desperate.

Because of everything he did, very few people supported his ideas.

Chapter 433 Carol: The Terra Emperor is a Wise King (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

But he arrived too suddenly, and he was only wearing a Kevlar bulletproof lining specially made by S.H.I.E.L.D.

And then there's that classic black trench coat.

It's no wonder he was freezing after suddenly arriving in a place that's colder than the core regions of the Earth's North and South Poles.

Fury sighed helplessly.

He couldn't possibly blame Gugu for acting too quickly; as a devoted cat lover, he couldn't bear to scold Gugu.

Even when his own eyes were gouged out, it was all because of Gugu.

He never blamed him.

So he skipped that topic and instead explained why he had come to find Carol.

He looked at Carol intently: "A major event has occurred on Earth, do you know that?"

Nick Fury didn't use any language skills with Carroll.

If Nick Fury doubts anyone in this world, he would never doubt the woman in front of him.

This is the friendship that developed between the two during that incident in the 1990s.

Nick Fury got straight to the point, but to his surprise, Carroll nodded.

"Are you talking about the Terra Empire, or that emperor?"

"what?"

Nick Fury's only eye widened in surprise upon hearing this.

"You...you know?"

"You don't think I'm completely oblivious to everything just because I'm in space, do you?" Carol rolled her eyes at Fury with amusement.

"But..."

"Well, there are many things I don't know about Earth, but Terra and that Emperor have recently attracted a lot of attention in the universe."

After saying that, Carol grabbed a metal bottle from the side and threw it to Fury.

Fury instinctively took it and drank a mouthful.

Then his expression changed, and the bitter, sour, and astringent taste was truly indescribable.

But he forced himself to swallow it, despite the taste.

He paid more attention to what Carroll said.

"So, many people have taken notice of Terra, and even Earth?"

"Hmm, don't underestimate the intelligence here. The intelligence network here connects the entire universe. Many major events cannot escape the network of intelligence brokers, such as the battle at Limbo."

After finishing his drink in one gulp, Carol casually placed it on the low table in front of him.

After saying that, she looked at Nick Fury with amusement, and said with a half-smile, "You don't see Terra as a threat, do you?"

"Nick?"

Carroll's tone was teasing.

She hadn't seen Nick Fury for over ten years, and their initial acquaintance and subsequent friendship hadn't taken very long.

Although they had developed a friendship, after so many years apart, she only knew about him through the Devouring Beast, Gugu.

They also knew that Fury had become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

She trusted Fury on this point, after all, she recognized the sense of responsibility Fury had shown at the time, otherwise she wouldn't have entrusted him with the interstellar communication pager.

"Humanity is at a critical juncture in history. I cannot be sure whether the one who will lead human civilization to greatness or destruction. Carol, I cannot place all my hopes on him and Terra."

Fury frowned and said in a deep voice.

Carol paused for a moment, then casually picked up a metal bottle from the side, flicked her thumb to open the cap, and took a swig of the liquor.

"Tell me all the details about the Emperor and Terra."

Fury then recounted to Carol everything from the Battle of Manhattan in New York, the demons, and the Astartes and Ravens at that time, to the later establishment of Terra throughout Sokovia, its development, social structure, laws, and so on.

Fury did not hide anything on this point, nor did he describe it with any subjective bias.

Carroll's expression grew increasingly amused as she listened, until she became beaming and suddenly slapped her thigh.

"Well done."

"I like Terra."

Carroll's words silenced Nick Fury.

Seeing his old friend's expression, Carol shook her head and laughed: "Having worked as a vigilante in the universe for so many years, I've seen far too many tragic things, Nick."

"You should be grateful that such a legendary figure appeared on Earth. The Terra Empire he built is a blessing for all mankind."

“You shouldn’t see Terra and that emperor as a threat.”

“They are not a threat.” Fury shook his head. “I know their appearance has brought hope to humanity, but they are too powerful, so powerful that they might even wage war against other countries.”

"With their continuous expansion, their power may lead humanity to victory time and time again, but what if they fail even once?"

"As Terra grows stronger, they will eventually attract the attention of various forces in the universe. We need a way out."

"Didn't you ever consider that the emperor didn't leave any way out?" Carol raised an eyebrow.

Fury's expression froze.

Yes, it seems he never thought of that.

"From your description and from the information I have, I see a wise and enlightened monarch who was able to build and cultivate three powerful legions from scratch."

"Despite possessing such great power, they have established a very sound system. They focus on people's livelihood and development, allowing the people of Terra to feel happiness and protecting them from the flames of war. This is truly remarkable."

“I used to think that America was the best place I could ever imagine, but as I grew up, I realized that was just a fantasy. There are gangs and drug addicts everywhere in America, and I’ve seen a lot of homeless people, but there are none of those things in Terra.”

"They possess devastating power, yet they do not use their authority to oppress the lower classes. Instead, they are full of compassion and care and attention to the lower classes."

"The future I see is one of prosperity and development of human civilization under the wise leadership of that emperor."

“Nick, you can leave yourself a way out, but if you want me to be that way out, that’s fine too. But I won’t fight against Terra, against that wise king.”

Carroll made her stance clear.

After a moment's thought, she replied, "I'll go back soon, and I want to see for myself what really happened."

Carole has a very distinct personality.

Her past experiences have made her resilient and unwilling to admit defeat.

Throughout her life, she was repeatedly underestimated because of her gender, but she never bowed to challenges. Even after countless failures, she would immediately get up and try again, possessing an indomitable tenacity unique to humans.

But she is empathetic and responsible, and will take the initiative to stand on the side of the vulnerable, protecting the earth and countless innocent groups with empathy for humanity. It is not condescending charity, but standing up for justice on an equal footing.

But she was also clear-headed and did not blindly follow others.

Just like now, she has broken out of the existing pattern and stood at a very high level.

Of course, the outcome of the task is another matter.

At least from Nick Fury's description, Carol actually prefers that humanity should be unified, and that all those messy countries like America and Britain should just become Terra.
