As we all know, humans on Earth are uniquely gifted in terms of sharing risks and dragging everyone to die with them.
As a diplomatic note was sent, the orbit of the Earth and the Moon was soon crowded with spacecraft from various forces and civilizations in the universe.
Especially as the two most powerful interstellar empires at present, the Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire both sent heavyweight envoys and an entire fleet of unprecedented scale and fully armed.
Because they all know what the Infinity Stones mean, and how terrifying it is when all six of them are gathered together.
After all, Odin, who led Asgard to conquer all over the world, almost succeeded.
All civilizations with a slightly longer history have deep memories of this.
Therefore they will never allow a similar situation to happen again.
What's more, there is a big difference between Thanos and Odin.
That is, the latter only wants to use the infinite stones to become the overlord of the entire universe, and all other civilizations will surrender to the Asgardian protoss.
But what about the former?
The former is an out-and-out psychopath who wants to directly wipe out half of the population in the universe through the power of infinite stones.
Especially for those civilizations that have evolved to very advanced levels and have low fertility rates, it is simply a disaster.
Many ruling class elites who have extended their lifespan and achieved promotion through various methods, once they are unlucky enough to be eliminated, the power structure of the entire civilization may become unbalanced and trigger a power struggle or even a civil war.
If those super geniuses who lead cutting-edge research are killed, it may lead to a series of serious consequences such as technological stagnation.
So on the surface Thanos seems to have placed all life on both sides of the scale fairly, and then decides which half of the people deserve to die and which half can stay by rolling the dice.
But in fact, anyone who knows a little bit about society and history will understand that from the perspective of civilization and development, human life has never been equal.
Some people's lives are just more precious than others.
Because without outstanding politicians, it is impossible for a country that is prone to division and war to unify, let alone to get rid of poverty and backwardness so that the people at the bottom can live a good life.
Without outstanding philosophers and thinkers, people would not be able to break the mental shackles of ignorance and backwardness, recognize the truth behind exploitation and oppression, and then launch a revolution to overthrow the old vested interest groups and establish a new order.
In the same way, some cutting-edge sciences rely on the inspiration of one or a few geniuses to achieve breakthroughs from zero to one.
Then with the development of science and technology and the improvement of productivity, people's living standards will get better and better.
This is why any mature country or even civilization will protect its political leaders, top scientists and scholars in other professional fields.
Because protecting them is defending order and civilization itself.
Thanos' act of randomly wiping out half of the population is actually not just as simple as cutting off half of the population numerically.
What is really scary is the series of chaos that may result from randomly wiping out key and important people.
If on a planet, most of the upper-class elites are randomly wiped out, then the entire ruling system may collapse and disintegrate, and the bureaucracy will become corrupt and degenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually losing the ability to govern and turning the society into a place that breeds crime.
hotbed.
No civilization that has entered the interstellar age would want to see such a situation.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation from the People's Federation, they responded as quickly as possible.
Right now, the huge conference hall built on the original site of the United Nations is densely packed with alien representatives from the empty universe.
Some of their appearances are similar to humans, but most of them are life forms that are completely different from humans.
This undoubtedly brought unimaginable huge trouble to SHIELD, which maintained order and security at the scene.
As the current deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daisy Johnson, the vibration wave girl, was sweating profusely at this moment and was completely shocked by this scene that she had never imagined in her dreams.
Because even before the establishment of the Awami League, there were less than two hundred countries on the planet.
Even when a plenary meeting is held, there are probably only a few hundred people on site including all the staff.
But now, there are a hundred thousand aliens in this venue.
And some of these civilizations are unrelenting enemies.
Before the meeting officially started, at least 40 intense physical exchanges broke out in the venue.
Although out of courtesy these aliens did not bring any weapons when they arrived, this does not mean that the injuries were not serious.
In particular, there are several groups of enemies who have an undying blood feud and are ready to kill each other almost as soon as they make a move.
But the problem is that it has been too short for the earth to become a star civilization, and the universe is so big. It is impossible for the People's Federation to establish a complete database in this regard, and it has no idea which civilizations have enmity with which civilizations.
When those civilizations with deep grievances find that the butcher sitting next to them is the butcher who killed their own compatriots, they will naturally lose control of their emotions and take some drastic actions.
The only good thing is that there have been no deaths so far.
Otherwise, this cosmic conference held by humans on Earth will most likely turn into a farce that will be ridiculed.
"Damn! The people above are crazy! They actually invited so many civilizations at once! Don't they know that we have no experience in this area at all?"
After just using her own vibration ability to separate the two entangled diplomats, Daisy Johnson, who was covered in sweat, smoothed the hair hanging down from her ears and complained out of breath.
As an airborne deputy director promoted by the top management of the People's Federation, she knew very well that she was not capable of managing such a large and complex organization.
The reason for reaching this position is entirely due to political considerations.
Because the People's Federation has taken a fancy to the power of the Inhumans and wants to completely absorb them into the "human" family.
In order to win the trust of the other party, Daisy Johnson took the position of deputy director and became a bridge of communication between the two parties.
Unlike other deputy directors of S.H.I.E.L.D. who hold huge power, the number of people who directly take orders from her is not very large, and almost half of them are recruited Inhumans.
Obviously, the Human League is constantly absorbing Inhumans with superpowers for its own use through this slow-cooking method.
After all, they obviously trust these "own people" more than the mercenaries hired from Baator Hell to work for money.
Although compared with ordinary humans, the Inhumans are very different at the genetic level, appearance or abilities.
Especially the ethnic groups discovered on the moon have already established their own independent political power.
So normally, there should be very intense conflicts and contradictions.
But the problem is that after seeing the vastness of the entire universe and the strength of those top civilizations, the vision of the elite ruling class of the People's Federation has broadened.
In the face of those grotesque alien races, what does this difference between humans and the Inhumans mean?
At least both sides have common ancestors in ancient times.
Facts have proven that when external pressure and threats are strong enough, internal conflicts will naturally be alleviated or even eliminated.
After all, ensuring survival comes first.
What's more, the population of the Inhumans is not large to begin with, so even if they are given huge benefits, it will not really harm the interests of any group.
In addition, their abilities happen to be what the People's Federation needs most at the moment, so they will naturally be attracted and given preferential treatment.
Another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent next to him explained with a wry smile: "There is nothing we can do about it.
After all, what we are facing this time is Thanos who holds the Infinity Stones.
The People's Federation urgently needs help from the outside world.
And these invited alien civilizations are our potential allies."
"Allies? Stop making trouble! Look at the colorful blood on the ground. If they really send a fleet here, they might start fighting before Thanos arrives."
Daisy Johnson rolled her eyes angrily.
She was now extremely grateful that she had applied for a team of Astartes warriors to help maintain order at the scene.
When these tough men wearing power mechas, each about two and a half meters tall, and their appearance alone was full of intimidation, stood in the middle isolation zone, those alien representatives who were originally eager to take action immediately became honest.
A lot.
After all, these are the most elite fighters of the People's Federation, who have forged their illustrious reputation with the blood and death of their enemies in foreign expansion and colonial wars.
Especially for fierce gang-hopping operations like those of interstellar pirates, it often only takes a few dozen or even a dozen people to seize control of a battleship, and may even kill all the enemies on the battleship.
The skulls of different colors carved on the power mecha represent the number of enemies each warrior has personally killed.
The ordinary dark red copper skull mark symbolizes the killing of one hundred enemies, while the silver represents one thousand, and the gold represents ten thousand.
In the same way, a small dark copper battleship represents the Astartes warrior who participated and successfully captured a small battleship, the silver one represents a medium-sized battleship, and the gold one represents a large main battleship.
At present, those responsible for maintaining order at the venue basically have at least one shining golden skull and a silver battleship.
In other words, they are all mass murderers whose hands are literally stained with the blood of their enemies.
Just the murderous aura released invisibly will make the surrounding aliens hold their breath involuntarily.
