Earth needed a hero, but the Venus fleet needed a scapegoat. Because when the Zetari finally arrived, someone needed to stop the attack.
The Venus fleet was now in full swing. The big shots of the Illuminati had already adjusted every battleship to its optimal state. All the battleships were filled with energy, and all the weapons had been carefully adjusted.
Dr. Hank and Tony Stark assured Li Jie, "Every cannon has been optimized to the best condition, and the Banshee's Thunder-class nuclear bombs have been replenished. Every Viking-class electromagnetic cannon has been adjusted to the best condition, and the main cannon of the Yamato class is ready to fire at any time! "
"We can ambush in Saturn's planetary belt and wait for the Zetari to come to the solar system to give them a welcoming ceremony."
"With the Thunder-class nuclear bombs as the opening prelude, I think we can play a beautiful 'Heaven and Hell'." Tony Stark was full of confidence.
Li Jie did not know whether to agree or not. "We also need to find a nominal owner for this fleet, so that their existence is reasonable and legal. I don't want a bunch of politicians on Earth to know that these fleets were made by us. "
"I hate it when people have thoughts about these fleets that they shouldn't have. There are always some arrogant guys who think that they can control this powerful armed force by controlling us or our relatives and friends. "Li Jie tilted his head.
"There will always be such idiots, and I don't have time to waste on them. It's an insult to my intelligence to show off and slap them in the face. "
Tony Stark agreed with Li Jie. "Yes, we are still bound on Earth. This is probably the biggest difference between being a superhero and a supervillain. We need to do things according to the rules of the game, and we can't just flip the entire table. We can't afford such a price. "
"Even if we can afford it, our conscience will be uneasy." Captain Rogers, who had just arrived, strode towards Li Jie. His work in the Heavenly Sword Bureau had temporarily come to an end. Now, governments all over the world had begun to intentionally or unintentionally strengthen the possible invasion of mutant creatures.
"I have never agreed with sacrificing a group of people for a certain cause, especially when this group of people were used as sacrificial pawns involuntarily and ignorantly. This is just like the barbaric human sacrifice in ancient times, dissecting a living person and offering it to the gods. "
"Hey, don't say that. The gods of Asgard have never asked their believers to carry out living sacrifices. Those who ask for this are all cults." Wearing a military uniform and holding a hammer, Thor, who had transformed into the God of Thunder, distinguished Asgard from the rest.
"It's because our ideals are similar that we were able to come together. We've been working hard until today, and now we've reached the most crucial moment. "Li Jie changed into Nightcrawler's appearance with one click.
"Now, it's time for us to have a good talk with the Mutants. The king of the Mutants, Blackbat, has sent an invitation. He is now welcoming us to his capital as guests. "
Professor X Charles was pushed by Dr. Banner in a hurry. "Fortunately, we made it in time. I think you're ready to go?"
Li Jie nodded. "That's right. We need to go to the capital of the Non-Humans and have a good chat with King Blackbat and his subjects."
"The Zetari arrived faster than we thought. From the observation node we set up, they will approach the edge of the solar system in forty-five days at most. We don't have time to hesitate now. "
"I need the Mutants to make a decision now. Either return to Earth or leave! This negotiation is obviously going to be very difficult and risky. "
Professor Charles nodded. "That's why I think you need more protection, Nightwalker. Although it's a little embarrassing to say this, the Illuminati can't do without you. "
Li Jie smiled. "Actually, the Illuminati can't do without anyone here. Well, this time I want Thor and Magneto to accompany me to the Mutants. "
Dr. Banner raised his hand. "Wait, count me in. Just the two of us may not work. I think I can still be of some help when it's necessary. "
Li Jie looked at Dr. One Punch and then nodded. Then he turned to Dr. Hank and Tony and said, "This time we will go to Attilan (the capital of the Mutants). We have not had such close contact with the Mutants yet."
"Don't have the heart to harm others, but don't have the heart to guard against others. We will contact them with 120% goodwill, but we also need to guard against all kinds of problems that may arise. I hope our fleet can support us at any time when we need it. "
Tony nodded. "Two mixed Yamato class fleets are on standby at any time, and can jump to the vicinity of Attilan in an instant when needed."
Li Jie nodded. He took Magneto, Thor, Thor, and Dr. Banner aboard the Double-class heavy transport ship.
Farther away from Venus, between the Saturn planetary belt, there is a city floating in the universe.
This is the location of the Mutants, their capital, Attilan.
The inheritance of the Mutants came from the remnants of the previous civilization, and they inherited a civilization older and more advanced than today's humans.
Nearly 7,000 years ago, when humans were still at the beginning of the Bronze Age, the Mutants had already opened up a modern city on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean. This city was called Attilan.
They had always avoided contact with humans, looking down on all living beings from a high and mighty position. Even during the first Mutant invasion, the Mutants did not participate in the war. That was in 2620 BC.
It was clear that the Mutants were more powerful than the humans of the world combined at that time, but they just stood by and watched.
They just watched Imhotep (the founder of the first generation of the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield, the creator of the pyramid, and the man who was called a god when he was alive) lead various powerful warriors to fight against the Mutants and Mutants.
Even the first Omega Mutant in history, Apocalypse, was a warrior under Imhotep's banner. They won, and Imhotep secretly formed the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield.
And all of this had nothing to do with the Mutants. Their city was hidden in the middle of the sea, hidden in the snow mountains. Until the beginning of the 19th century, when humans entered the industrial civilization, the Mutant King thought that it was no longer safe for Attilan to stay on Earth.
Their secrets would one day be revealed by ordinary people, so they designed anti-gravity devices and sent the entire city out of Earth.
This was the case with the Mutants. Everything that happened on Earth seemed to have nothing to do with them. They didn't care about the birth and death of ordinary people, nor did they care about wars, diseases, and plagues.
They just watched coldly from the sidelines as Earth's current civilization went through thousands of seasons of warmth and coldness. The Mutants felt that they could continue like this because they had been living like this for thousands of years.
