In the ward of Arkham Nursing Home, Schiller was making rounds. At this time, a nurse came in and said: "Doctor Schiller, Mr. Strange's appointment time is almost up. Do you want to go over and wait for him?"
"Okay, I'll go right away. Sorry, sir, I'm leaving first."
Schiller nodded to the two people in the ward, walked out, and came to the reception area with a high glass floor on the second floor of the complex. Strange was already waiting there, obviously coming through the portal.
.
Schiller walked over and handed the record book in his hand to the nurse. After the nurse left, he sat on the sofa opposite Strange and asked: "What's wrong? I had to call to make an appointment so late last night.
What's the emergency?"
Strange frowned, touched his eyebrows with his fingers, and said: "It's not a big deal. The main thing is that I don't understand it. You asked Loki to encourage Thanos to deal with himself in another universe and rob another universe."
The matter of Thanos’ resources.”
Strange sighed softly, changed his posture and said: "To be honest, I am not afraid of the Infinity Stones, nor am I afraid that Thanos of our universe will get the Infinity Gauntlet. After all, Emperor Weishan has been pulled in by us.
In this game, your relationship with eternity also destined that Thanos in our universe would not have a chance to snap his fingers."
"But those territories, subordinates and resources are the most deadly. If he can really move the dark quadrant of the universe back, he will definitely be a big threat to human civilization in the future, maybe immediately."
"Of course, Schiller, I know what follow-up arrangements you may have, but I think this step is still a bit risky. Thanos is only a temporary ally, and has unlimited potential. Once his foundation is solid, we will be in trouble."
Schiller raised his head slightly to indicate that he understood. Just as he was about to stand up and get the wine, Strange waved his hand and said, "I quit drinking. Let's have some tea. I just came from the Himalayas."
Brought.”
After speaking, he waved his hand and took out a clay pot. Several tea cups appeared out of thin air and fell steadily on the table. With a "crash" sound, the steaming water rushed into the cups, and the tea leaves swirled and floated.
.
Schiller picked up the tea cup and blew it gently, and said: "Of course, I can understand your worries. Although humankind is developing rapidly, its foundation is unstable, and Thanos has endless potential."
"But I still do this to maintain balance. The territory and population are not only a help but also a hindrance to Thanos."
Hearing this, Strange's brows opened slightly. As long as Schiller had a plan, it would be fine. He repeated the word and said, "...tie?"
"That's right, among humans, Asgardians and Thanos, only Thanos is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. He is alone and has nothing. Although he looks the weakest overall, he can have an adverse effect on us.
Small threat."
"The essence is that humans and Asgard have territories and people. Of course, the strong humans and Asgard are not afraid of Thanos. But if he is determined to cause trouble, send a few human beings to the earth today.
Bomb, the Asgard fleet is planning to go out on patrol tomorrow, we can’t do nothing and go all over the world to catch him, right?”
"Like the Mandarin?" Strange had some realizations.
Schiller took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "Yes, just like the Mandarin, is the Mandarin very strong? In fact, not necessarily, just the agents of the Divine Spear Bureau are enough to deal with him, let alone him in the Divine Spear
He repeatedly jumped between the Bureau and SHIELD. Based on his strength, he should have died long ago."
"But the reason why he can survive today is because he is just a fly. Human beings only think of swatting flies when they are free. When they are busy working overtime, no one can delay their work for a fly."
"Although the earth is calm on the surface now, countries are secretly competing with each other. Everyone knows that the early stage of entering the interstellar society is the best bonus period. If you don't seize the time to develop and eat the cake, and divert your attention to swatting flies,
Isn’t that stupid?”
"The same is true for Thanos. If he hides alone in the vast sea of stars, we don't even have a target to attack. But if he has his own territory and population like Asgard and humans, what will he do?
Before anything happens, you have to think about whether your country will be attacked."
"Oh, I understand." Strange nodded and said: "A fugitive with no scruples will naturally use all kinds of tricks, just like the Mandarin, but any serious country is now immersed in development and wants to
Keep up with the trend, even if you secretly stumble others, don't dare to make too much of a fuss, otherwise in addition to delaying your own development, public opinion will also be a problem."
"The Mandarin himself is notorious. He is a wanted criminal in countless countries. Most of his men are fugitives and poachers. They have no friends and have nothing to fear. What we have to do is not to be destroyed.
Hegemony has become like this, let him not become a terrorist, but a legitimate country."
"After joining the interstellar society, it is equivalent to joining the order side. After enjoying the wealth and stability brought by order, it is natural to abide by the rules and not act recklessly. Although this gives him the opportunity to develop, it can indeed greatly reduce his
Danger."
Schiller nodded, confirmed Strange's idea, and said: "In a sense, the king is much easier to deal with than the killer, at least for us."
"Another point is that the Infinity Stones cannot be used across universes. Thanos's men should have almost died in the war. The only thing that is more valuable is the territory and the resources Thanos has accumulated before. To be honest
, This young man is a bit pitiful." Schiller shook his head and blew on the tea.
"But Thanos has no choice. It is not difficult to accumulate from one to ten, but he must have this one first. He knows that both humans and Asgard are on guard against him, and they will definitely guard him tightly and will not easily
Let him accumulate capital, this is probably his only chance."
"He knows that we are taking advantage of the situation and using only a little territory and resources, we want to exchange a lot of promises from him, but he must seize this only opportunity, so even if the things are shabby, he must go."
"For this opportunity, he is willing to pay a high price, and at the same time he has a weakness, so why not do it?"
Strange nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing..." Strange touched his temples and said, "You still remember Latvia, which you called a 'weird little country', right?"
Schiller paused while blowing the tea. As soon as this familiar name appeared, he naturally thought of one person, that is the famous Dr. Doom in the comics, who is also the king of Latvia.
Doctor Doom is familiar to many people. He is a quite famous villain in Marvel comics. He was born in a small Eastern European country. His mother was a gypsy witch, so he learned about magic from an early age.
After attending college, he was disfigured in an accident. Disheartened, he returned to his hometown and established Latvia, becoming the ruler and dictator there.
Doctor Doom's biggest characteristic is that he can use technology and magic at the same time. At the same time, he has always wanted to save his mother's soul from hell.
Schiller put down the tea cup, looked up at Strange and said: "Latvia?...Oh, I remembered, was it the one who sent a robot to the Holy of Holies last time and said he wanted to make a deal with Mephisto?
Country? How is their deal going?"
"I was about to say this." Strange put down the teacup, wiped his mouth and said: "The king of this small country is called Doom. His mother is a gypsy witch, and her soul was taken away by Mephisto. Doom
He wanted to make a deal with the Lord of Hell and get his mother back, but Mephisto was determined not to let him go."
Schiller frowned and said, "Why? Isn't it just a human soul? Is it because Latvia has no money? But I remember that their technology is quite advanced, and they seem to be on par with Wakanda?"
"You have reached the key point again." Strange showed a wry smile and said: "Latvian technology is very advanced, and they even have some magic technology. However, the situation in their country has just stabilized and there is not much energy reserve.
, their king Doom must get more energy in order to make a deal with Mephisto."
"This Doom heard somewhere that Wakanda's Leopard God could do business, so he went to Wakanda to seek a deal. But for some reason, the two parties failed to reach an agreement and started fighting."
"This Doom is also a good fighter. He beat up the King of Wakanda, the Black Panther. The Panther God couldn't stand it anymore and came out to start a fight. As a result, he also beat the Panther God. The Panther God was frightened by him.
I’m so pissed off that I can’t hide in my own kingdom of God anymore.”
"The animal gods themselves are part of the African pantheon. Now all the major pantheons are short of people. The Leopard God is skipping work and hiding at home. His colleagues, the lions, snakes, fish and birds we have seen before, are all
I’m almost exhausted.”
"Yesterday, the lion came to me and asked me to give them a review. He said that Doom was a robber who blocked the road and must compensate them for their mental losses."
Schiller also smiled bitterly and covered his forehead. What's going on?
But he was still more concerned about Doom's situation, so he asked: "Did Doom get the energy he wanted?"
"Yes, the lion didn't accuse him wrongly. After Doom knocked the Leopard God down, he took a handful of hair from his tail. The Leopard God didn't want to go out to see people, mainly because he thought his bald tail was too ugly.
"
"So he switched back to his mother?"
"No way!" Strange sighed deeply and said, "It's true that his mother is an Eastern European gypsy witch, but witches also need to eat. His mother was an auditor of the former Soviet arsenal during her lifetime."
"Mephisto secretly comes from the earth every day to touch the souls of talents in the field of finance. Doom is a damn business pacesetter in hell and the leader of the quarterly tax preparation team. How can Mephisto let him go?!"
"Mephisto has already said that if you want to snatch his dear employee, you have to step over his body. God, who can beat him?"
