Chapter 194 Next target: Thanos!
Hashimoto Huanyue smiled slightly. Since Di Jun came again, he did not disappear, but chose to return to the Fairy Island. Everyone longed to be chosen by God again like Lin Feng and set foot on the Fairy Island.
However, when everyone rushed to the fairy island, only Hashimoto Kanyue turned her attention to Lin Feng.
Hearing Lin Feng's question, Hashimoto Huanyue suppressed her inner excitement and said coquettishly: "Professor Lin, you haven't answered my question yet?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly, "So that's it. Well, I tell you, the Demon King has reappeared, and China is blessed. This is why I am happy."
Hashimoto Huanyue bit her lip, trying to look both cute and sexy. "Then, Professor Lin, can I ask you a question?"
Lin Feng saw that Hashimoto Huanyue was trying to use the honey trap, but he didn't point it out. As early as when they first met, Lin Feng had intentionally or unintentionally guided her to think in this direction. She only realized this now, which was indeed a bit slow. However, he still said politely: "Ask." After saying that, he stood up and planned to make her a cup of coffee.
Hashimoto Huanyue mustered up her courage and asked, "Professor Lin, what is the relationship between you and the gods?"
Lin Feng's hands did not pause at all, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. This woman was not simple.
Even Chen Haishan and Loki have already believed that Lin Feng is responsible for communicating with the Chinese gods, but Hashimoto Huanyue is still wondering about the mystery of Lin Feng's connection with the gods.
However, as long as he doesn't expose it, no one can do anything to him. Lin Feng handed her a cup of coffee and answered irrelevantly: "You can learn about China's anti-aggression history, which is closely related to your Sakura Country."
Hashimoto Huanyue didn't get an answer. She thought Lin Feng meant that he would give her an answer only after he understood this history. So she bowed deeply and said sincerely: "In that case, I'll take my leave first."
Not long after Hashimoto Kanzuki left, Thor and Loki came to visit.
Soon after the war, reconstruction became a top priority, so many people went to the severely damaged areas to build. In addition, Stark returned to his residence and was busy developing a new smart butler; Senna tried to study the principle of how Dijun could transmit sound all over the world; Natasha was busy with the Avengers' diplomatic work; Strange was struggling on the front line of reconstruction.
Only the brothers Loki and Thor chose to find Lin Feng as soon as possible. Del followed behind them, with a trace of fear on his face for the first time.
Lin Feng knew something was wrong when he saw their serious expressions. But he still asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? Aren't you supposed to be rebuilding your civilization in Asgard now?"
Thor and Loki looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding, and through eye contact they determined that Loki would return to Asgard to coordinate the overall situation, while Thor would stay to explain the situation.
Because Professor Lin Feng is also a wise man in this world, as long as Thor explains the situation clearly, Lin Feng will tell him what to do. So Loki is not worried at all that his reckless brother will make mistakes.
Loki said hello and left.
Lin Feng looked at the traces left by the Rainbow Bridge on his floor, thoughtfully.
Thor looked at the burn marks on the floor and Lin Feng's focused expression on the floor, thinking that Lin Feng was bothered by this matter, so he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Professor Lin, I will compensate you."
Del couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Thor, if you don't explain your intentions, then I will."
Thor hurriedly said, "Okay. Professor Lin, we have something very important to discuss with you."
After Lin Feng asked them both to sit down, he calmly served them coffee.
This is his little trick. The more majestic the God is, the more approachable he will be as God's spokesperson.
There is no gap without comparison. The more low-key he is, the higher the status of God will be in the hearts of others.
Especially those who have close contact and frequent interactions with him will understand more clearly that God’s power cannot be desecrated.
After handing over the coffee, he politely asked, “What’s the matter? Judging from your expressions, why does this matter give me the feeling that it’s more serious than Hela’s invasion?”
He originally just wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect Thor's expression to become so serious, as if he agreed with what he said.
Thor said with a heavy face: "The reason why the people of Asgard are willing to follow Hela to invade the Blue Planet, in addition to the coercion of the Death Army, is also out of gratitude to Hela."
"Thank you?" Lin Feng was a little puzzled.
Thor nodded heavily, "It's gratitude. Loki and I fled to the Blue Planet because Thanos invaded Asgard. My father Odin was too old to resist Thanos. According to the news from the people of Asgard, we learned that after Loki and I fled with the Infinity Stones, it was Hela who appeared and saved the people of Asgard from Thanos."
Thor finished speaking in one breath and paused, a trace of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead, "Now that Hela is dead, I am afraid that the next one to invade Blue Planet will be Thanos!"
After hearing this, Lin Feng's face flashed a hint of indifference, "Thor, are you thinking too complicated? Since Hela can rescue all the people of Asgard from Thanos, her strength should be enough to make Thanos retreat. In other words, Thanos' threat should not be as great as Hela's." He took a sip of coffee and said slowly.
When Thor heard this, he was so anxious that he crushed the cup in his hand into pieces. The glass fragments and coffee fell together, but he was unaware of it. He quickly corrected Lin Feng's thoughts, "No, Professor Lin Feng, you misunderstood. I have fought against them before and know their strength. Facing Hela, I still have the confidence to win; but facing Thanos, I feel that I have no chance of winning."
Lin Feng looked at Thor, who was talking incessantly and exaggerating the power of Thanos, and sighed in his heart.
Thor has realized the gap between himself and advanced creatures like Hela and Thanos, but he has never realized that he has the possibility of advancing to this level. It seems that he has to explain his problem to him when he has the chance.
Lin Feng interrupted Thor, "Sorry, Thor, the gap between you and them is quite large, so how can I compare their strength and threat?"
Thor was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he gave a more convincing answer, "Hela's power is comparable to that of my father Odin. My father was able to seal Hela in his heyday. But for Thanos, even if my father was in his heyday, he could not stop his invasion."
Del was also surprised when he heard this.
Although she knew that Thanos was very powerful, the specifics were still an abstract concept. After Thor gave her a specific description, she deeply felt the horror of Thanos.
They, the Dark Elves, were originally irreconcilable with Asgard, and Odin was the Asgardian leader whom they hated to the core.
The Dark Elves have tried to assassinate Odin countless times, but all their attempts have failed. Because Odin is still Odin, even though he is old, he is still the overlord who once looked down upon the nine realms.
His powerful strength gave the Dark Elves leader Maleski a headache, and he even thought about defeating him with the power of the ether, because the Dark Elves alone could not defeat Odin.
This is Odin, the Lord of the Nine Realms. Even the proud dark elves have to admit his power.
But such a powerful figure couldn't stop Thanos' invasion in his prime? How should we evaluate Thanos' strength?
Lin Feng pretended to be in deep thought, "But why did he come to invade the Earth?"
After talking for a long time, Thor felt a little thirsty, so he picked up a cup and drank a glass of water without hesitation.
Del answered Lin Feng's question, "I'm afraid he came for the Infinity Stones."
"Infinity Gems?" There was a hint of doubt in Lin Feng's voice, but he already knew it in his heart.
Yes, although the trajectory of historical development is different from the original situation where Thanos and Hela had no intersection, under the ruthless crushing of the wheel of history, major events in the universe have not changed.
Events such as Loki leading the army to invade, the establishment of the Avengers, the American Hydra attempting to usurp power, the awakening of Ultron, the invasion of Dormammu, and Hela leading the army of death all happened one by one.
Although the specific details have deviated, the general direction has not changed.
Therefore, the logical next step is for Thanos to seek out the six Infinity Stones in an attempt to wipe out half of all life in the universe.
Lin Feng originally planned to take time to continue exploring the limits of the gods' power in the universe, but Thanos might invade at any time, which forced him to temporarily slow down his external exploration.
Thor finished drinking the water, wiped his mouth, and added, "Yes, it's the Infinity Gems. There are six in total. It is rumored that they are the embodiment of the rules of the origin of the universe, and later they were divided into six gems. We Asgardians call them the Infinity Gems. They represent time, mind, power, space, reality, and soul. Possessing one of them is enough to easily destroy a planet. Thanos wants to collect all the gems. I don't know his purpose, but it must be very terrible."
Lin Feng thought for a while, "Ultron's body is inlaid with the Mind Stone, Dr. Strange holds the Time Stone, and the Cosmic Cube, also known as the Space Stone, should be guarded by Steve Rogers if I remember correctly. As long as Thanos collects the other three stones, he can invade the Earth at any time, right?"
Thor nodded solemnly, "Yes, Professor Lin, you should not underestimate Thanos' determination. The name Thanos is a literal translation of your Chinese language. According to the transliteration, he should be called Thanos, which is Thanos in English, which corresponds to the homophonic first letters of the six Infinity Stones in English. According to my father's description, Thanos was not originally called this name."
Lin Feng's expression also became as solemn as Thor's. "So that's how it is. In order to achieve his goal, he actually changed his name to the abbreviation of the six Infinity Stones to remind himself all the time to achieve his goal?"
This Thanos really has the perseverance to endure hardships and will not give up until he achieves his goal.
As a result, the Earth had just escaped the shadow of Hela's invasion, but in a blink of an eye it was facing the threat of Thanos again.
Lin Feng put on his glasses and said in a deep voice: "There is no time to lose. I will contact the Demon King and the others as soon as possible. I hope they can lend a helping hand at the critical moment."
Thor and Del secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this was exactly the purpose of their trip. As long as the gods of China were willing to take action, the threat of Thanos would not be a big deal.
However, Lin Feng frowned. The appearance of the Chinese gods undoubtedly enhanced the national pride, but it also exposed a problem: when facing external threats, people did not first think of relying on their own strength to resist, but hoped that the gods would help them.
Logically, there is nothing wrong with this. But if we rely on gods every time, what is the meaning of human existence? Not to mention that after the threat of Hela was resolved, the world had an almost unstoppable influx of people heading to China. If Lin Feng had not asked Chen Haishan to notify the official media, China would have been overcrowded, with people from all over the world coming in an endless stream.
However, Lin Feng knew that he was only temporarily playing the role of the Chinese gods, and he could not let his existence wear down people's vigilance. Being prepared for danger in times of peace is the long-term way for civilization to survive and develop.
Lin Feng did not plan to stay on Blue Star for long, he longed to travel in the universe. Therefore, he subdued Ultron, after all, Ultron's artificial intelligence can continue to evolve and can continue to upgrade in the face of endless external threats. Compared with Lin Feng who could leave at any time, Ultron is the most real and reliable defense force.
But Ultron is also an external force. What can truly protect humanity is human determination. Without the determination to burn our boats and persevere to the end, humans are just spineless and may be enslaved at any time.
This trend must be curbed.
After Lin Feng made up his mind, he did not delay any longer and immediately got up and prepared to go to the Fairy Island. After all, in name, the gods such as Emperor Jun and Jie Yin Taoist all lived on the Fairy Island.
A colorful cloud floated in front of Lin Feng, and Di Jun's voice came: "Daoyou, what do you want to see me for?"
Since Lin Feng was still an ordinary person in the eyes of the world, it seemed abrupt for him to use his own divine power to go to the fairy island, so he found an excuse with the help of Di Jun's clone.
Lin Feng looked worried: "Your Excellency Demon King, I have something urgent to do. I hope to see you as soon as possible."
"Okay, step on the cloud and it will bring you here." Di Jun's voice was majestic and unquestionable.
Lin Feng stepped onto the clouds without hesitation and flew to the fairy island, thinking about how to prevent humans from being overly dependent on gods.
He has arranged nuclear reactors all over the world as planned. Under the operation of Ultron, these reactors can generate energy shields to protect the earth at any time, but their uses are far more than that.
Lin Feng stayed on the fairy island for a while, and after confirming that his idea was correct, he split an avatar into the appearance of Di Jun and walked out of the fairy island side by side with his original body.
"Professor Lin Feng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Chen Haishan felt relieved when he saw Lin Feng appear.
Then, he noticed Di Jun beside Lin Feng.
Even without the golden light surrounding him, Di Jun's temperament is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
