Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 78 The Vast Expanse of Stars!

In the mysterious and vast universe, there exist spectacular sights that can drive countless astronomers crazy!

Okay, actually it's not good-looking at all.

"3 to go!"

"10 to go!"

Hanlu gripped her playing cards tightly, looking at Thor beside her with a suspicious expression.

This guy was still holding his head high with a smug look on his face.

"Sol! We are peasants, he is a landlord! Why are you oppressing me?"

"Uh... I made a mistake. I promise it won't happen again. Watch me."

Amidst Loki's subtle, mocking smile, Hanlu covered her face in discomfort.

As for the final outcome, Loki, the cunning fellow, undoubtedly won.

A piece of paper was stuck to the face of both Hanlu and Thor.

At this point, the situation in the game was quite clear: for example, Loki had no cards on his face; while Hanlu had been tricked by Thor twice, but not many.

On the contrary, since realizing that this guy was unreliable, the two have begun to form a united front, which has resulted in the number of white paper strips on Thor's face almost matching his long blond hair.

"Again!! I refuse to believe it!!"

As the cards were shuffled together again, Hanlu transformed into a ruthless shuffling machine. With a slight movement of her fingers, she effortlessly manipulated countless cards with her mental power, rapidly weaving and shuffling them among them.

A very awkward question.

At first, Hanlu actually had great patience to appreciate the magnificence of the universe.

He saw the deep, dark starry sky, the dazzling stars, and the gas giants, liquid giants, and solid giants...

But right.

This trip was way too long!!

Hanlu glanced at the specially calibrated globe in his hand. A whole day had passed, and he was getting annoyed. The scenery outside looked almost the same no matter how many times he looked at it.

The problem is that they are still some distance from the nearest teleportation point.

To prevent fatigue driving, they usually assign two people as the main driver and co-driver.

For example, right now Valkyrie is the main pilot, while John is watching over her from the side.

As the game resumed, Hanlu drew the landlord card this time.

He chuckled inwardly, watching Loki, who seemed to have already foreseen his own fate, his face covered in notes—

After all, even the best situation can be ruined if you run into a idiot like Thor.

"By the way, why don't we just use the Rainbow Bridge to teleport there directly?"

Hanlu played a "3" as a test at the start of the game.

"No. You should know that the current ruler of the Omnipotent City comes from the Olympian pantheon—the greatest god Zeus!"

We must meet him with the highest honors.

Using the Rainbow Bridge to teleport directly there would be disrespectful to the gods!

This time, Thor was smarter and played a "4" to beat the opponent.

However, more than the cards in her hand, Hanlu was more concerned about the method of teleportation mentioned by her opponent.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense, and there's no way to refute it.

Hanlu thought about it again: The Omnipotent City, according to Thor, is the "vacation residence" of the major pantheons in the universe.

In other words, there would not only be Olympian supreme gods like Zeus there, but also other supreme gods.

If he remembers correctly, the Jade Emperor appeared in a movie—yes, that's right, the "Jade".

He's called the Jade Emperor, but he's not jade that's become a spirit. Why would he need to be covered in jade?

And the weapons and armor are even in a Japanese style, what's going on? Is the father like the son?

Although it sounds strange, if we disregard these so-called external descriptions and just look at the array of mainstream pantheons that the Omnipotent City was preparing for war at the time...

Egypt, Olympia, the East, and it seems there's also the Mayan pantheon.

In theory, each of these four pantheons has a leader of the highest order, serving as the dominant force within that pantheon.

He didn't want to cause trouble with the four Heavenly Fathers as soon as he arrived; that would be too foolish.

Moreover, he still hoped to try to persuade them with reason and emotion, and to use a more refined approach to extract information about the Eternal Land from them.

If they really can't get through to each other, they can take the opportunity to enter the Library of the Gods—yes, there is a Library of the Gods in the City of Omnipotence, which stores knowledge of almost all the ancient artifacts in the universe, and there must be clues to the Eternal Land in it.

For them, it's simply a matter of putting in a little more effort.

Therefore, the "armed kidnapping" option is now eliminated.

We're supposed to be upright gentlemen and superheroes, how could we do such a despicable thing?

And compared to this...

Hanlu glanced slightly at Loki, who had also played a "7" next to him—why did he feel that this guy had been unusually quiet lately?

Well, Loki glanced at Hanlu's distrustful look; he was used to it.

Anyway, he's like this wherever he goes, even in Asgard:

No one believed him, no one loved him.

Oh, except for his big, goofy older brother.

However, Loki, being a "generous" god, expressed his understanding.

There is no other reason.

If he had to say something, he didn't want to destroy the last glimmer of hope for saving his homeland.

Therefore, he can suppress some of his ulterior motives.

Loki reminisced about the past.

They've been brothers for over a thousand years. Just like Thor, he keeps losing others. And what about himself, the brother Thor acknowledges?

At least, at least once in his life, as the "God of Tricks," he must have truly fought for his people.

So before he could achieve everything, he felt it was necessary to be a "good person" for once.

The team is still moving forward.

It wasn't exactly sad, nor was it particularly joyful, but I still wanted to try my best to lift everyone's spirits a little during the Cold Dew season.

Don't be so pessimistic, there's always someone taller to hold the sky up if it falls!

In addition, he had already handed over the "Herrscher of Reason Core" to Dr. Banner before he set off, and had also granted him access to it.

He can create anything he can understand and construct based on his principles.

Of course, this is a weakened version.

After all, for these scientists, if they can actually bring their ideas to life, then whether or not they are given resources is irrelevant.

To put it bluntly, Hanlu was also afraid that if she really handed this thing over to the other party completely and gave him unlimited authority, who knows what Dr. Banner would do.

If he were to create several Hulks, he'd be in big trouble. He didn't want his world to be filled with gamma-ray-infected people all the time.

This world really can't withstand this kind of disruption from others.

Moreover, the task he gave to the other party was very clear: Get rid of all the gamma rays on Earth right now!

That's right. It's important to know that Earth is still not suitable for conventional carbon-based life forms.

For Earth, the aftermath of their previous battle was no less than a mass extinction, even wiping out tardigrades!

As an expert with seven doctoral degrees and who personally studies gamma rays, Banner is undoubtedly the most suitable person to handle all of this!

In addition, he had mentioned this kind of thing to the three mages Moonblade, Daredevil, and Icarus in advance, and with his two ship girls accompanying him throughout the process, he refused to believe that he could mess this up!

He still had some trust in Dr. Banner—

The other party isn't Tony Stark, the kind of guy who acts recklessly when inspiration strikes.

Even after becoming Iron Man, Tony's personal style remains somewhat radical in his actions; who knows what he might create?

He still trusted Dr. Banner completely!

Yes, that's right!
