Chapter 683: Chapter 588 The Backup Plan
Fu Qinghai and others are now riding on this small spaceship, which was temporarily bought by No. 56 in the Land of Nothingness. Its performance is not very good, it just has the ability to jump through wormholes.
But there is a saying that goes "Don't blame the road for your shortcomings", this shabby little spaceship still burst out with extremely strong power and high speed in the hands of Rocket and Star-Lord.
The hull was shaking violently and every structure was making a creaking noise, as if it would fall apart at any time. Gamora, Groot, and Drax were holding on tightly to all the fixed facilities in the spacecraft and refused to let go.
"You two bastards, do you want to die?"
Gamora was so angry that she cursed at the two of them.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Rocket laughed wildly and ignored it.
He turned around and said to Fu Qinghai:
"Since the Milano is gone, you have to compensate me with a spaceship, Qingshan. Its performance cannot be inferior to that of the Milano."
"I'll compensate you with a battleship, and see if you dare to take it."
Fu Qinghai said calmly.
"I dare, why not!"
Rocket said nonchalantly.
The spaceship flew very fast, but Fu Qinghai was not in a hurry. Because Loki was in his hands at the moment, according to the plot in the movie, Thor held Hela and the Hulk held Fenrir, which gave Loki the opportunity to go to the treasure house of Asgard and throw Surtur's crown into the eternal fire.
According to Loki, Thor, Valkyrie and Hulk had all gone to Asgard, but he himself did not want to face the goddess of death or save Asgard, so he made a plan to stay on Sakaar, but was caught by the Kree, which led to the subsequent events.
Missing is Loki, the god of trickery.
It might be hard to tell the winner of Solhaila in a short time.
"We're here!"
Star-Lord suddenly shouted.
Then the spacecraft passed through a regular hexagonal frame.
A magnificent magical continent suspended in the dark and boundless void is already in sight. On the edge of the irregular land plate is a dreamlike waterfall, flowing downward under the influence of some strange gravity.
Asgard, the legendary palace!
"Close to there."
Fu Qinghai saw the iconic Rainbow Bridge and quickly pointed to the wide bridge made of colorful glazed tiles.
Star-Lord controlled the spacecraft to dive down quickly, crashing through the thin artificial atmosphere above Asgard. A mixture of magical and futuristic buildings suddenly came into view, as well as blazing flames and billowing smoke. As Fu Qinghai expected, Asgard had already fallen into civil strife.
At this time, a fierce battle was going on on the Rainbow Bridge. Thor was fighting Hela alone, and the Hulk was beating Fenrir. Hela summoned her army of the dead, and the skeleton soldiers with green light in their eyes swarmed and rushed towards the Asgardian civilians who tried to board the transport ship. Thor's two good buddies, the Valkyrie and the Thing, were struggling to resist.
Everything was just like in the movie.
But it's a little different from the movie.
For example, Heimdall is nowhere to be seen.
In the movie, Heimdall should be organizing the evacuation of Asgard civilians at this time, but there is no sign of him on the Rainbow Bridge. Only a large group of Asgard civilians are climbing onto the transport ship that Thor stole from Sakaar.
Where is Heimdall?
Fu Qinghai looked back and forth at the bridge.
This issue is very, very critical.
It's related to his series of plans.
Wait, he must be...
A sudden idea came to Fu Qinghai's mind.
"Ignore them and fly over there at full speed!"
Fu Qinghai pointed at the palace and shouted.
"receive."
Star-Lord immediately changed direction.
Everyone on the bridge looked up at the shabby little spaceship as it turned around and flew towards the Asgard Palace. Although no one had ever been to Asgard, the tallest and most magnificent building in sight must be the palace.
Then Fu Qinghai turned around and tore off the mechanical seal on Loki's mouth. Looking at the expressionless and indifferent God of Trickery, Fu Qinghai grabbed his collar and with his other hand, he turned a plasma pistol into something and put it on his forehead and said:
"Tell me, where is the treasure room?"
Loki pursed his lips and said nothing.
Fu Qinghai did not say anything and just pulled the trigger...
"I'll take you there."
Loki suddenly spoke up.
"Don't let it happen again."
Fu Qinghai tapped his face with the gun.
…
The spacecraft almost made an emergency landing on the palace square.
"Crash" crushed a large number of skeleton soldiers.
The tail cabin opened downwards, and Fu Qinghai rushed out of the spaceship first, holding Loki's neck with one hand and wielding a chainsaw sword with the other. He cut a gray and black bone-breaking path through the army of the dead with a devastating manner. The Guardians of the Galaxy followed him with weapons in hand and rushed all the way to the treasure room.
The Asgard Palace was empty.
It was a mess with traces of fighting everywhere.
A few people passed by Odin's throne and suddenly saw the golden spear fallen to the ground. Gungnir, Odin's Spear, the Spear of Destiny... just lying alone on the ground.
Fu Qinghai recalled: After Mjolnir was crushed, Thor quietly returned to Asgard and picked up his father's spear to try to kill Hela. However, Thor, equipped with the Spear of Odin, was still no match for Hela, and was blinded in one eye by Hela. At the last moment, he relied on his father's burst of energy to awaken.
Fu Qinghai bent down and picked up the Spear of Odin.
Then threw it to Drax to hold.
"Keep leading the way."
Fu Qinghai instructed Loki.
Everyone soon arrived at the treasure room under the palace. Loki pushed open the heavy gilded door, and one by one, pedestals like exhibition stands appeared in front of everyone: an eyeball-shaped sculpture, a lantern-like device, a broken stone tablet, a huge golden glove with six inlaid holes...
There was also a blazing brazier.
At this time, Heimdall, the guardian god of Asgard, was standing in front of the brazier. He was not wearing his usual horned helmet and golden armor, but a tattered robe, holding up an extremely huge long-horned skull crown over his head with both hands, and was about to throw the crown into the brazier.
He wants to resurrect the fire giant Surtur!
"don't want!"
Fu Qinghai shouted urgently.
While shouting, Fu Qinghai pushed Loki away and thrust his left hand forward.
Heimdall was about to throw the crown into the brazier when suddenly an invisible force came towards him, like a heavy truck hitting him hard. Heimdall was caught off guard and was instantly knocked back by the force, and the giant crown in his hand fell to the ground.
Force push!
Fu Qinghai pushed Heimdall away with a palm, felt slightly relieved, and then rushed over quickly.
Fu Qinghai did not stop in his haste and used all his strength to push with the Force, causing Heimdall's back to hit the depression in the wall with a dull "bang". The guardian god pulled himself out of the wall and jumped to the ground. Fu Qinghai had already dragged up Surtur's crown and was holding it firmly behind him.
"You can't revive it."
Fu Qinghai looked at Heimdall seriously.
"Who are you and why are you stopping me?"
Heimdall was also very anxious.
He stared at Fu Qinghai and asked loudly.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I will save Asgard. That's enough for you to know."
Fu Qinghai stated his position.
"If you want to save Asgard, you must throw that crown into the eternal fire!"
Heimdall said angrily.
As he said this, he came over to snatch it.
"Buzz—clang!"
Fu Qinghai activated the Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword instantly, swung the sword in an arc in front of himself, and a deep scratch appeared on the ground between him and Heimdall. The hard stone used to build the Asgard Palace was as fragile as tofu in front of this weapon.
Heimdall had no choice but to stop.
He narrowed his eyes and looked Fu Qinghai up and down.
"How do you plan to save Asgard?"
Heimdall asked in a deep voice.
"I will go negotiate with Hela."
Fu Qinghai said seriously.
"negotiation?"
Heimdall sneered,
"You are such a boastful fellow. Do you know why she is called the 'Goddess of Death'? She even ignores the words of the God King Odin. Why do you think she will negotiate with you?"
"Don't worry about that."
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:
"You can't destroy Asgard anyway."
"I am the guardian god of Asgard!"
Heimdall glared and yelled angrily:
"Thor ordered me to do this!"
Fu Qinghai ignored Heimdall completely. He transformed a portal gun into a gun with his left arm and shot a blue halo at the wall next to him. Space Marines holding guns once again filed out of the halo and quickly surrounded the entire treasure room.
Several Iron Pagoda Terminators strode out of the light circle, their heavy steps made the ground tremble, and arcs of decomposition flashed on the blades of the power lances. Fu Qinghai waved his hand, and they stepped forward to control Heimdall.
"Move everything out of here!"
Fu Qinghai immediately gave the order.
Huh?
Everyone present was shocked.
No, you just kept saying:
You want to save Asgard...
I'm going to clear this place out right away.
Loki and Heimdall, the two gods of the Aesir, were shocked by Fu Qinghai's shamelessness.
Rocket jumped up excitedly and said:
"It turns out we are the same kind of people, Qingshan!"
Star-Lord looked him up and down in confusion:
"After all this time, you are also a predator?"
Who the hell is the predator...
Fu Qinghai curled his lips and explained,
"This is called a safety net plan, you don't understand."
No further explanation followed.
Even though he had made so many arrangements in the early stages, and even though it had already come to this moment, Fu Qinghai still wasn't sure that his plan would succeed, as there were too many unexpected events.
In this case, the regiment must have a backup plan to ensure that this trip to the reincarnation world is not complete empty-handed - emptying the treasure house of the Asgard is such a backup plan.
This is the strategic idea of "predicting defeat before predicting victory". Anyway, according to the plot in the movie, after Asgard is destroyed, these rare treasures in Odin's treasury will be annihilated and disappeared in the explosion along with the Asgard continent. Fu Qinghai is doing his best to reasonably preserve cultural relics, not stealing.
How can protecting cultural relics be called stealing?
"Besides, the treasures here..."
Fu Qinghai looked at Heimdall and said meaningfully,
"Not all of them belong to the Aesir, right?"
The guardian god remained silent upon hearing this.
Odin's character is not well described in the movie, but it is described in detail in the comics. To sum up, he is a typical tyrant, not a good person - Hela in the movie also expressed the same view. After breaking the seal, Hela laughed at Odin's hypocrisy and affectation of pretending to be a peacemaker when he is obviously a conqueror, refreshing the two sons' impression of their father.
Perhaps he just didn't want to kill too much in his old age, or perhaps he no longer had the ambition he had in his prime, or perhaps he wanted to set some tests for his eldest son Thor to inherit the throne. In short, in his later years, Odin gradually relaxed his control over the Nine Realms, and races such as the Frost Giants and the Dark Elves, who were unwilling to submit to the Aesir, began to plot and cause trouble, which led to the plot of the first and second parts of "Thor".
Odin had a very strange habit. Fu Qinghai guessed that it might be because the population of the Æsir was too small, and they were unable to actually occupy and rule the conquered areas. So from every conquered planet, Odin would take away a treasure of that race - the Ancient Winter Box of the Frost Giants, the Eternal Flame of the Fire Giants...even his wife, the Queen of Gods Frigga, was actually a member of the Vanir.
Many of these rare treasures in Asgard's treasury are treasures from other races in the Nine Realms. Odin took them away and kept them in the palace. In a sense, it also posed a certain degree of deterrence to these races.
These gods in Norse mythology.
Born with a hint of pirate color.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself, Odin got it by stealing it anyway.
What's wrong with me taking it away again?
"But, this spear, Gungnir."
Heimdall pointed at the spear in Drax's hand:
"This is definitely something from Asgard."
"I want to borrow this thing temporarily."
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'll return it to you later."
"Khan, everything has been cleaned up."
At this time, Qiao Shida walked up and said.
"Okay, put all the batteries we seized earlier here. Yes, in the treasure room."
Fu Qinghai began to command the Space Marines.
"Then we will go talk to Hela and discuss how to resolve this 'Ragnarok' peacefully."
After doing all this, Fu Qinghai said.
When Fu Qinghai discovered that Heimdall was not at the Rainbow Bridge, he immediately guessed where this guy was - Loki did not arrive in Asgard. If Thor wanted to defeat Hela, one of him must go to the palace treasury and use the skull crown and the eternal fire to resurrect Surtur. Then Asgard would fall apart and be completely destroyed in Surtur's wrath as described in the "Ragnarok" prophecy.
By stabilizing Heimdall, controlling Loki, and preventing them from resurrecting the super Surtur blessed by the Eternal Flame, Fu Qinghai's plan was basically half completed - at least Asgard would not be destroyed because of Surtur. No matter how hard Thor and the others tried outside, they could not defeat Hela, because as long as Asgard did not fall apart, Hela's power would only gradually increase until it reached Odin's level.
A super villain of god-level.
The Space Marines escorted Loki and Heimdall out of the palace and outside the building. At this time, the whole of Asgard was still in chaos. Heimdall did not have time to gather every Aesir civilian who was unwilling to submit to Hela's rule. There were still a large number of ordinary civilians scattered in every corner of the city.
At this time, Fu Qinghai turned to look at the Guardians of the Galaxy and made a request that no one expected:
"Star-Lord, Rocket, there must be a lot of old, weak, women and children left in the city. I would like to ask you to go into the city to find more survivors, gather them together and protect them as best you can, and temporarily place them in the palace."
Heimdall looked at Fu Qinghai in surprise.
He couldn't quite understand this person.
On the one hand, Asgard's treasure room must be emptied.
On the other hand, we must protect the civilians of the Aesir.
However, Star-Lord and others appreciated this approach very much. Fu Qinghai's request was in line with the consistent style of the Guardians of the Galaxy and also in line with the Plunderers' concept of calling themselves "chivalrous thieves."
Star-Lord patted his chest and assured:
"You don't have to tell me, Qingshan. You also told me about the Ragnarok incident. No matter who is right or wrong between Hela and Thor, the civilians are innocent. We will protect them."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Lead the Space Marines forward.
He sent Star-Lord and others to protect the civilians instead of sending his Space Marines, because the Space Marines had more important things to do. Besides, how should we describe the Death Army under Hela... Hela herself and her pet Fenrir are quite strong, but the other skeleton soldiers are really weak, and a mere M16 automatic rifle can mow down a large number of them.
There is no need to bother the Space Marines with such miscellaneous soldiers.
Fu Qinghai personally led three companies of space warriors, walking aggressively on the wide stone avenue leading from the palace to the Rainbow Bridge. The Iron Pagoda Terminators of the first company surrounded him, their armor clanged, and their steps were heavy and firm. The red eyepieces of the space warriors were revealing a cold and fierce light that seemed to be materialized. How should this feeling be described?
It was as if Odin owed him millions.
"Zizizi... Qingshan, we're here."
There was a burst of noise from the communication channel beside my ear.
"According to the coordinates you gave us, we have just passed through the wormhole and can already see Asgard within visual distance. What should we do next?"
It was Augustus' voice.
"I'm on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge."
Fu Qinghai said:
"You can see us when you descend."
Players from the Zero Realm Guild also arrived.
Fu Qinghai turned to look at Heimdall and asked:
"Where's your sword?"
The Space Marines did not tie up or release Heimdall and Loki, nor did they remove their weapons. They just led them to move forward with the team. Upon hearing this, Heimdall lifted the hood of his robe, revealing the two-handed heavy sword behind him.
It is the key to controlling the Rainbow Bridge.
Guardian Sword, Bulte Steel.
"What do you want to do?"
Heimdall asked in a nasty tone.
"You will help me open the Rainbow Bridge later."
Fu Qinghai turned around and said calmly.
The tone was not negotiating.
It was as if he was just giving an order.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Heimdall sneered disdainfully.
"You'll help me open the Rainbow Bridge."
Fu Qinghai said with a firm tone.
There is no explanation as to why.
The Space Marines continued at full speed all the way to the Rainbow Bridge. The skeleton soldiers that blocked the way were unable to get close to Fu Qinghai before they turned into broken bones and scattered everywhere.
On the Rainbow Bridge, Hela and Thor were still fighting fiercely. Under the Rainbow Bridge, the water was rough and the waves were splashing. The Hulk and Fenrir were fighting in the water.
Fu Qinghai stood still on the bridge.
The Space Marines around him stopped as well.
The sound of orderly and sonorous footsteps suddenly disappeared.
Everyone on the bridge turned their heads and looked over.
"Hela! Thor!"
Fu Qinghai raised his voice and shouted.
"Who are you?"
The goddess of death asked with narrowed eyes. Clusters of metal spikes slowly rose up from under her feet, lifting her up to a height of dozens of meters, overlooking everyone from above.
"I'm here to negotiate."
Fu Qinghai raised the giant skull crown in his hand.
Seeing the crown in his hand and Heimdall beside him, Thor's face suddenly turned pale - Oh no, the plan to resurrect Surtur has failed!
Surtur... the eternal fire!
Hela was no fool, and when she saw the crown, she immediately understood that Thor wanted to destroy Asgard by resurrecting Surtur and force herself to lose her power.
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
Hela straightened her expression and stared at Fu Qinghai.
"Please stop here, Hela."
Fu Qinghai said seriously:
"Asgard already belongs to you. Thor and his men are no match for you. You are the new king of the nine realms. But I hope you can spare the civilians of Asgard and not kill them all. Leave those innocent people a way out."
"oh?"
Hela raised the corner of her mouth with interest:
"So what do you want to do?"
"Referendum, vote on the spot."
Fu Qinghai had already prepared a draft:
"Those who are willing to obey your rule and stay in Asgard will continue to stay in Asgard. Those who are unwilling to submit to you will follow Thor on a transport ship to settle on Earth and establish a new Asgard. You cannot stop them."
Certainly not everyone in Asgard holds the same philosophy. There must be both hawks and doves within a regime, an organization, or a country. Although the vast majority of the Aesir might prefer to follow Thor, the legitimate heir to the throne, to Earth, Fu Qinghai does not believe that no Asgardian civilian is willing to submit to Hela.
Hella is a strong hawk.
There must be some supporters.
"I'm done. This is my plan."
Fu Qinghai spread out his hands and said.
The entire bridge fell into silence.
Loki, Thor, Valkyrie, Thing, Heimdall... everyone stared at Fu Qinghai with the same look, as if they were looking at a fool.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Hela suddenly burst into laughter.
The goddess of death smiled so voluptuous that her shoulders trembled.
The sharp spikes on the top of the head were shaking.
"Good, good, good, very good plan..."
Hela finally stopped smiling and stood up.
"But I have a question, sweet little one."
The goddess of death stared at Fu Qinghai.
He asked viciously word by word:
"Why should I listen to you?"
Hela asked the same question as Heimdall.
"Soon you will have to obey me..."
Fu Qinghai whispered to himself.
He did not answer Hela's question directly.
Instead, he looked up at the blue sky of Asgard.
The Kree Empire, the Sovereigns...
Why haven't you come yet?
Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
As if answering his call.
The next second, patches of regular hexagonal illusory squares suddenly appeared in the orbital space outside the Asgard sky, and twelve spindle-shaped black warships passed through the wormhole together and instantly arrived outside the Asgard sky. These warships then formed a wedge formation and pressed into the atmosphere. The huge black fleet even obscured the blue sky of Asgard.
"Asgard!"
A rumbling sound came from the sky:
"Submit to the Kree Empire!"
The expressions of Hela, Thor and others suddenly changed.
Why are people from the Kree Empire here?
This is not over yet. Not long after the Kree Empire fleet passed through the wormhole, in another area of the orbital space, the regular hexagonal box opened again. Densely packed like a swarm of bees, small golden fighter planes swarmed out. There were so many of them that they could even gather into a golden tide. This tide circled in the sky as if confirming something.
The golden fighter in the lead made a sound:
"Asgard!"
A shrill and hysterical female voice:
"Hand over the thief who stole the battery!"
The expressions of Hela, Thor and others changed again.
What the fuck is going on?
Everyone present was still in a daze.
Fu Qinghai turned around and grabbed Heimdall by the collar:
"Now, open the Rainbow Bridge for me!"
......
