Clearly, the answer is no. The three great empires are essentially the cosmic police. Normally, they're the ones who go to different star systems to "mediate." Now that it's their turn, who can interfere? Who dares to interfere?
Originally, the other two great empires might have been able to intervene, but now the three sides are at war and have not yet stopped fighting, so how can they intervene?
The Shi'ar Empire hadn't given up. They first deployed their own warships, preparing for a saturation attack. The result was entirely predictable—they couldn't breach the defenses. Even cosmic demons couldn't penetrate the magical defense network; lords of hell and crimson dimensions were forced to remain outside. The Shi'ar Empire's weapons were also ineffective.
Then they thought: If we can't beat you, can't we just ask you to leave?
And it really didn't work. Just as the Supreme Intelligence had predicted, Magneto was stuck in orbit like a nail. The gravity around Earth was locked, and any flying object that entered would be rendered ineffective almost immediately.
What's even more infuriating is that Magneto is standing inside a magical defense network. If you want to attack him, you have to break through the network first; but while you're attacking the network, he attacks you in return; and then you still can't defeat him. Isn't that a three-dimensional defense?
What's most infuriating is that the Shi'ar Empire doesn't dare use strategic weapons, because this is their home planet. Who would use a weapon capable of destroying a star system to bomb their own home planet? What would happen to their capital after that?
Thus, a very strange scene appeared in the Mengyu Galaxy: a blue planet was shining in the center of the galaxy, and not far away, a golden planet and a bunch of spaceships crowded together to occupy the orbit at the edge of the galaxy, and the rest of the planets were all crammed into one orbit, looking like bullied punching bags.
It's not that they're cautious; the key is that Magneto is truly unreasonable. His gravitational braking range covers most of the galaxy, and anyone who gets too close is basically thrown into a pool table by him. Forget spaceships, even planets have to stay far away, otherwise, what if he pockets it and sends it crashing into their star?
Meanwhile, the Avengers, who had landed perfectly on the rooftop platform of the space station in the Pacific Ocean, gazed at the vast array of spaceships and planets above Earth. Steve stroked his chin, sighed, and said, "I admit this tactic is effective, but don't you guys think it's a little... unethical?"
"Forget about whether this tactic is unethical or not, just tell me if it's effective," Schiller said. "What else can they do now? Probably just use a megaphone to yell at us."
“We haven’t even made a move yet,” Stark said, somewhat annoyed. “I thought we were in for a tough fight, but these guys couldn’t even break through the magic defense network. I’ve been preparing for ages, what a waste of my time!”
The entire plan was indeed easier than anyone had imagined. They used the simplest and most direct method, slapping the Shi'ar Empire in the face in front of all civilizations in the interstellar space, and the Shi'ar Empire couldn't retaliate. Now it's up to the other two great empires to decide what to do.
The essence of this tactic is actually "not biting, but annoying." Did the Shi'ar Empire suffer any losses? Not really. Because Earth's engines were relatively primitive and its speed wasn't high, the impact wasn't actually that severe.
They already knew from Mystique that the planetary shield of Feathered was automatically deployed. The moment Earth rushed past, their planetary shield deployed. They were only thrown a considerable distance by the impact; in reality, the shield didn't shatter, and there were no casualties.
Magneto didn't go all out; he simply threw out all the flying objects that flew in. The Shi'ar Empire was, after all, a top-tier civilization, and their spaceships weren't as fragile as paper; being thrown around wouldn't cause them any major damage.
In other words, aside from the dozen or so people who died earlier, even with such a commotion, no one was seriously injured. There was no physical harm, but what about psychological damage?
I not only killed your people, I also kicked down your door and defecated on your bed. No sentient being with feelings could tolerate such provocation.
However, just because they hadn't suffered any fatal losses and knew that the strong humans hadn't made a move yet, they couldn't help but wonder: was it worth fighting to the death with humans?
Earth is humanity's home planet, and the planet Mengyu is the capital of the Shi'ar Empire. It's like a battle between kings; if you destroy the other, you won't benefit your own capital either.
Moreover, if they can actually destroy it, that would be fine. But if they can't, and Earth escapes again, then we'll truly be being ridden around and having our shit defecate on someone's neck.
Moreover, they're not currently in the solar system, but in the Mengyu star system, where Mengyu Star resides. Anything damaged will be paid for by the Shi'ar Empire. Given the destructive power of those human warriors, the actual losses won't be light.
The Shi'ar Empire was baffled: Who came up with such a despicable and terrible idea? You better not get caught by me, or you'll be in big trouble!
Schiller, who first made this suggestion, kept his achievements hidden and went home after having his fun.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't go home on vacation, I went home to find someone to give me the next suggestion.
"What did you say?!" Nick looked surprised on the other end of the phone. "Are you sure? Isn't this a bit too much..."
"Okay, I'll try to persuade him. But how can he possibly come to terms with it? But then again, whether he wants to or not, this is what has to be done. After all, it's for the sake of the Earth."
After saying that, Nick put down his phone and picked up the other secure phone, saying, "Connect me to Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans."
"They are really going too far!"
On the planet Herdrew, in the council chamber of the Galactic Council headquarters, Mystique, playing Queen Lilandra of the Shi'ar Empire, slammed her fist on the table in fury, saying, "How dare they provoke the Shi'ar Empire like this! The Two Gods will not let them get away with this!"
"Alright, Lilandra, calm down. Now we need to think of a solution," the Supreme Intelligence said. "Now I need to confirm one thing: without using strategic weapons, are you truly at a loss against the enemy?"
Lilandra looked embarrassed and annoyed, but she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly said, "It's not that I can't do anything about them, it's those damned nobles! They actually... they actually deserted in the face of battle..."
"Alright, I'm not interested in your internal affairs," the Supreme Wisdom said in its usual calm tone. "You just need to tell us whether you need our help."
"You have to help! Do you think those humans will let you off the hook after humiliating us? Don't forget, neither of you has given up causing trouble on Earth. They definitely have evidence. Do you think they won't take this opportunity to settle scores?"
“But we won’t be as disgraced as you.” The Skrull Emperor wasn’t there; only a virtual image was present. He said, “The great Skrull Empire won’t let its homeland be occupied and be left helpless.”
"You're just talking without understanding the situation!" Lilandra raised her voice. "Would you use strategic weapons against your own capital star's system?"
"Besides strategic weapons, you have no other options? That's really useless."
"I……"
"Alright, stop arguing!" The Supreme Intelligence interrupted them, then said, "Her Majesty the Queen is right; we can't let Earth get so arrogant. Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
The other two looked at him. The Supreme Intelligence, controlling the ordinary Kree soldiers, said, "Earth is alone, putting itself in danger. Almost all the dangerous superheroes have come. Isn't this the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out?"
"Are you crazy?" Lilandra couldn't help but say. "You said it yourself, all the dangerous superheroes are there, and you still dare to go and mess with them? They won't blow up your house, right?"
"No, if we attack him, the survivors won't let us off the hook either. But to reap rewards, you have to take risks. Don't you want to get rid of these lunatics once and for all?"
The other two fell silent. Did they not want to? They were practically going crazy with desire!
While Asgard may be full of brutes, at least their actions have some logic. These humans, on the other hand, are simply insane. What good do they gain from doing this?
If their earlier collision with Meng Yuxing and subsequent refusal to leave was a slap in the face to the Shi'ar Empire, wouldn't they have just left? No. They simply stayed there, as if waiting for the Shi'ar Empire to send reinforcements; their arrogance was utterly outrageous.
"If all else fails, we'll just move to another system!" Lilandra said through gritted teeth. "They come to the Feathered Galaxy, we'll go to the Solar System!"
"How do you go?"
This question from the Supreme Intelligence silenced the two of them once again.
Yes, how can they get there? At most, they can only go to the edge of one of the nine kingdoms. The rulers of Asgard won't allow it, so no one can enter the World Tree's territory. If they want to go to the Solar System, they'll have to fight Asgard.
The problem is, if they can't do anything about Earth, why can't they do anything about Asgard?
If the Shi'ar Empire were to transfer all its troops to Asgard, wouldn't those crazy Earthlings just drive their home planets and wipe out the Shi'ar Empire from its rear?
The current dilemma is this: Earth is stubbornly refusing to leave, but a new home is out of the question. One of the three great empires, a top-tier civilization, is unlikely to swallow this insult and form a binary star system with Earth. They might not even be able to outlast Earth. So what can be done?
Lilandra sighed and said, "So what are you planning to do? Don't blame me for not warning you, your main server is also on the planet. You think setting up a few gravity traps will stop them from crashing into you?"
"Now we need to solve your problem," the Supreme Intelligence said. "There is only one way to get Earth to leave, and that is to make them feel threatened and have no choice but to run. Your Shi'ar Empire cannot provide enough of a threat, so we must come to your aid."
"What do you mean? You're not planning to send troops to our capital star system, are you?"
"If you hadn't anticipated this outcome, why would you have come?"
Lilandra was taken aback. The emperor of the Skrull Empire also reacted, saying, "You can't do anything about Earth; those nobles will only laugh at you. But if our two nations' armies were to press on our borders, they would have no choice but to obey you, even if they didn't want to."
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to,” Lilandra said with some resentment. “You had it easy going there, but once it’s over, it won’t be easy for you to leave.”
"You are mistaken, Your Majesty. If we truly wished to threaten the Shi'ar Empire, we would surround the Great Portal. That would be worthwhile. As long as you retain control of the Great Portal, and as long as we need it for trade and commerce, you need not worry about your capital falling. This is the best solution."
"I hope so. I always felt that things wouldn't be that simple."
She had barely finished speaking when a notification sound rang out. The communicator's voice came through: "Latest battle report from the front, Your Majesty. Shall we connect you?"
"What kind of trouble is this now?!" Lilandra exclaimed hastily. "Bring him in quickly!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!" a voice that Lilandra recognized cried out. "Those humans, those humans... they're attacking us with their satellites!!!"
"What?!!!"
A lot of bad things have happened at once, and my grades haven't been great lately either. Please vote!
