Chapter 39 39. Judgment of the Century

Thor jumped out of the fighter plane and strode into the command post in Fort Adler, his camouflage uniform was covered in dust, and his blond hair was stained with white ash from the plane's take-off and landing.Everyone in the command post was busy, and Sif only had time to nod at him.

"Boss."

"Where's Loki?"

"Innermost, with Dr. Banner."

Thor found his Omega in front of the innermost big screen, Loki was staring at the screen intently, green eyes bloodshot from working all day.

Thor puts a hand on his shoulder. "What's going on?"

Loki, who was sitting on a chair due to a leg injury, came back to his senses: "Are you back?" He raised his head and exchanged a kiss with Alpha, "Basically the preparations are complete, we have selected [-] videos that best expose Thanos' true face, Ready to hand over to Ultron."

"They will publish it on the Internet in batches according to the video content." Added Banner, who was busy next to him.

Thor nods.

A week ago, their operation against Thanos officially began.

Out of caution, Loki did not agree to directly open the public browsing permission of the database, but suggested that a few should be randomly checked first.

God knows it was the right decision.

At first, everyone thought that the database contained many high-level political secrets in the government, so that Thanos could coerce or control officials, but they didn't expect that the things contained in the database were almost appalling.

There are monitoring lists of major leaders of neighboring countries or hostile forces in various countries, detailed information on all agents and hidden personnel of the world's major powers, and strong evidence that the government uses so-called free organizations to do dirty things.

The seemingly hostile forces used war as an excuse to actually raise taxes and hoard supplies.The world's major powers have been monitoring and brainwashing people for a long time with the help of communication facilities or religion.Some experiments prohibited by international conventions are also being carried out 3000 meters underground.

As a virus rooted in the network, Thanos' information grabber is capturing the world's darkest secrets every moment.

Thor still remembers the creepy feeling after reading the material, even Loki's palms were covered with sweat.

If these things are published on the Internet all at once, the consequences will be disastrous.

——The tension between countries is already the lightest ending.

In countries where the government's credibility is not very powerful, public anger may lead to riots. If not suppressed in time, it may lead to uprisings, wars, and countless bloody conflicts.Even if the government's credibility is strong, the successive leaks of information like nuclear bombs will cause a large area of ​​negative public opinion.Government agencies are struggling to deal with it, and the economy is collapsing and slumping, which will make countries no longer care about uniting against Thanos.

More seriously, the continued tension in national relations will at least cause a reshuffle of international political forces, and at the most serious will lead to wars between countries.

Banner made the simplest estimate that once this information havoc breaks out, it will stagnate the global economy for at least 5 years.

They all think Thanos is too easy.

In view of this situation, Loki repaired the plan overnight.

He summarized the contents of the database into two parts according to the severity: one part can be related to Thanos, which can prove his evil plan or that he is a "subject aggressor" and will not affect the international situation; the other part, It is heavy news that can cause major turmoil in the international situation and have a very bad impact on the country.

The first part of the data was screened and sorted by him and Banner, and together with the real image data of Neschet collected by Thor over the years, it was handed over to the "Ultron" organization independent of the Rebel Army and published on the Internet.Ultron is a hacker team trained by Tony a few years ago. Acting independently can prevent the rebels from being involved in public opinion and causing unnecessary troubles.

The second part of the information was changed to be carried by Tony and Thor, and directly negotiated with the high-level leaders of various countries, as a bargaining chip for uniting them against Thanos.

After the plan was finalized, everyone started to get busy.

The peace talks between Thor and Tony went very smoothly. After all, it is difficult for any country to be indifferent to these heavy materials that shake the national system.The GrandMaster, who stayed within Thanos' sphere of influence, has been monitoring Thanos' dynamics to prevent the information warfare plan from being detected.

Three days ago, Loki also finalized the upcoming video, and appointed Ultron to release a news on the Internet: at noon three days later, they will announce a "big event" to the world.

So far, everything seems to be going according to plan.

Banner checked the video for the last time, and after contacting Ultron, he tapped the watch surface with his hand.

"Although I really don't want to disturb you, Loki, it's time for you to go to the nutrition cabin to recuperate."

Loki raised his eyebrows.

"If you still want to accompany Thor on the battlefield later," the doctor added.

Omega hissed and gritted his teeth unconsciously when Thor hugged him horizontally.

"I thought we talked about not being overprotective?"

"Following your doctor's orders and suggesting treatment is not overprotective, Honey."

The agent who was turned against the general couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

But Loki knew that Banner was right.A few days ago, he and Thor's "heartfelt and in-depth communication" made the doctor frown. He carefully checked Loki's body and said that it was his conscience that Thor did not enter the genital cavity, and the wound on Loki's left leg was not torn. , simply God bless.

For the doctor who suppressed his anger, even a well-behaved agent had to be courteous. He was aggrieved and could only find Alpha, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, to vent his remaining anger.

Loki tugged at the Alpha's short blond hair until Thor placed him on the treatment table in the nutrition cabin.

It's a high-tech thing Tony brought.The polymer nano-liquid in the nutrition cabin can help the wound heal quickly. After the wounded have a certain amount of physical strength, they can enter the nutrition cabin for auxiliary treatment and shorten the recovery time.

Loki sat on the examination table.

Thor undid the buttons of his shirt one by one, looking at the pink marks on his thin body that had just healed from the injury, there was distress in his brows.

Loki lets him move, eventually tickling the big man a little.

He adjusts Thor's collar instead, and brushes the white ashes from the man's temples.

"I'm fine, are you leaving soon?"

"Well... I reached an agreement with Asgard. When Ultron discloses the information, I will follow the advance troops of the government army into Muspel."

Loki nods and touches Thor's arm, where there is a wound from fleeing Neschet.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's been done long ago, don't worry about it." Thor said, "Musbel is the largest of the thirteen countries, and Asgard has mobilized the most advanced spy satellites to locate several of its military bases. Think To jointly attack Thanos, in addition to video data, more evidence is always needed."

Loki frowned: "Speaking of which, I've always felt that even with a stockpile of ammunition, it's not realistic for Thanos to rule the world with these."

"Ok?"

"Have you ever thought about it, according to what we know so far, his weapons are only the crazy idea of ​​'infinite gems', the military and political support of thirteen countries, and three data disks."

"Is there something wrong?" Thor wondered, "The contents of the data disk alone are enough to throw the world into chaos."

"No. The more chaotic it is, the more difficult it is to manage, and the time it will take for him to achieve his goal of ruling the world will be virtually lengthened."

"Don't think about it too much. The three databases were originally his life-saving means. The condition for all the leaks is his death. I think before that, he is more likely to choose the data that is beneficial to him to coerce the authorities, and then use the military Power, and gradually take over the governments and armies of various countries."

"Um……"

"Take a break, we're already ahead of whatever he was planning to do with those materials." Thor reassured, and he changed the subject just in time, "Any news about Narve and Vali?"

"Hogun took them very safely in Ymir Valley, and they enjoyed the food there." Loki softened.

Thor kissed him hard on the lips again: "Look, everything is according to plan. In any case, our family is together, and I will work hard with you."

Loki finally complied with his request and lay down in the nutrition cabin, but before the hatch closed, he held Thor again.

"Before leaving, ask Banner to decipher the encrypted folder as soon as possible. In the second database, only its password is the most complicated. I always have a bad feeling."

"Okay. When this is over, we must..."

Loki presses his fingers against Thor's lips.

"Come back alive."

"Boom!"

The Muspel Valley seemed to be shaken by a huge explosion, and the dull sound came from the ground, making ominous ripples on the lake surrounded by mountains.

"Uh um..."

Thor's whole body was violently thrown onto the stone wall, the explosion made his brain buzz, nosebleeds flowed into his mouth, and he was almost incapacitated.

"Da da da da" the explosion of the bullet pulled back his sanity. Relying on instinct, he barely turned over and hid behind the bunker. More stones fell from the top of his head. He could only hug his head and curl up his body as much as possible.

They were attacked.

"Three hours ago.

"Road is clear, keep going."

"Copy."

After Ultron released the information, the rebels arrived at Musbel along with the Asgard advance troops.

According to satellite data, this is the largest new military base built by Musbell in recent years.The voice of the sentry came from the communicator, and Thor raised his gun and gestured forward to the team members behind him.

The Asgardian government does not understand the thirteen small countries occupied by Thanos-these countries have almost no sense of existence in the world structure.Therefore, as the first country to be persuaded and willing to send troops to investigate, they proposed that the rebel army lead the way and take the lead in sending troops deep into the hinterland of Muspel.

Despite the suspicion of using the Rebels as a front, Thor still agreed to the operation.

In order to completely bring down Thanos, in addition to using the information in the database, it is also crucial to find out how many armed forces he has.

No matter how dangerous it is.He clutched the necklace with Loki's name engraved on his chest.

Asgard's spy satellite was blocked at the X735 mark. Even though the accuracy of the satellite has reached 0.2 meters, complex terrain such as mountains and lakes are still natural barriers.And according to the terrain fed back by the satellite, it was a valley behind the Muspel military station.

The intuition and rich combat experience of fighting Thanos all the year round made Thor feel that there should be what they were looking for.

His judgment was correct.

Thor led 20 vanguards to the valley behind the garrison, where they found an inner lake surrounded by mountains.

The climate here is much warmer than that of Adrianburg. Standing on the mountain and looking down, the spring grass by the lake has grown to ankle height, but in such a quiet and pleasant place, the radar detected There are military facilities.

Using detection devices, they quickly found the hidden entrance.

The situation inside is not what Thor imagined.

From the structural point of view, this place seems to be a relic left over from the era of the Great Revolution more than 30 years ago.The drill bit has pierced almost half of the mountain. The black painted reinforced concrete base frame is equipped with new equipment and devices, which has an absolutely cold and technological texture.

Muspel is located at the passage of the two seas, and it has been an important military site since ancient times. Thanos should have re-fortified the former military facilities after occupying the country.

It's just that the place to be transformed is not the military factory or military warehouse they expected.

The further the advance team went inside, the more traces of fresh activities there were, indicating that this place was being used.

They feel more and more careful.

Soon, when they reached the third floor, there was a faint cry coming from the front, and this discovery slowed down their steps.

Thor gestures for group action.

"No, please..."

With the steps forward, the crying became more and more clear.He stepped over the iron fence carefully, and after entering a gloomy iron gate, he found a "circular balcony" in front of him.It is said to be a ring-shaped balcony, but it is actually because there is a huge patio below, and there is a circle of observation places above the patio.

Thor quickly brought down a gun-toting guard at the door.

The subordinates did the same, and quietly took down all three guards on the circular balcony.After clearing the obstacles, standing in the shadows, they could clearly see the situation below——

In the huge courtyard, there were nearly 40 people standing crowded together.

These people include men and women, and they are all from Muspel country in terms of skin color and appearance.Without exception, they were all young, aged between 18 and 25, wearing uniform blue short-sleeved shorts, and their thin clothes looked like surgical gowns for patients.

The faces of these young people were full of fear, and they squeezed together in twos and threes suppressing their trembling and crying. The crying echoed in the iron-walled courtyard, which was particularly mournful.

Just as Thor and the others wondered what the purpose of this group of people gathered here, the radio rang.

It was a clear male voice, with an arrogance that defied humanity.

"Death makes your meager lives meaningful, and thanks to the great Titan, your future will be truly continued in more noble people.

Now, honorable subjects of Lord Thanos, embrace Aurora with open arms—"

The voice makes Thor shudder, for he recognizes its owner instantly.

Ebony Maw.

Of course the scum is long dead, and the broadcast is just a looping recording.But this disgusting tone, Thor will never forget.With the addition of "Aurora", he immediately understood what the people gathered below were doing.

This is not a military base at all, but a scientific research institute of Thanos, or a "human body processing factory".

The people below are the "living props" used to supply the organs of the upper people.

"Quick! Put on the gas mask!"

Next up is an anesthesia procedure. "Aurora" is a poisonous gas. After inhaling a certain amount of gas, people will quickly become unconscious, and their blood pressure will gradually drop until the heart stops beating within an hour. This gas will make people see beautiful illusions like aurora, so named.

But what's really diabolical about it is that it delays the time of brain death, which means that even though these people died in an unconscious state, when their organs were harvested... they might still be alive.

"Save people!" Thor said succinctly.

All the soldiers acted immediately, they were quick and efficient, they held the exit before the gas spread, and directed all the victims to escape.The good news is that, since the aurora is harmful to humans, no researchers other than the guards will come near it while under anesthesia.

It's just that they didn't expect that the security level of this scientific research institute would be so high.

Perhaps because it was next to the military base, the alarm rang throughout the facility before the group could return to the first floor.

Thor's mind buzzed, the action plan this time was originally a low-key investigation, and there would be such a major deviation as saving people without the plan.Only the rebels are okay, they have been harassing Thanos' actions all the time, and now Thanos can't find the soldiers of Asgard anyway.

If it made Thanos defensive, everything they did would be meaningless.

"You go first!"

He quickly decided that the way to save everyone was to let the Asgardian soldiers escort the victims out first, and lead Stormbreaker's warriors to the rear.

Perhaps it was the favor of the goddess of luck, until most people ran to the gate of the back mountain, the pursuers hurriedly caught up.

Thor immediately led the rebels to fight back.

After fighting and retreating, he and the eight rebel fighters did not have time to escape successfully. They were trapped by the defense system. The infrared rays took the lives of the two brothers, and the exit door slowly closed in front of them.

Together with Thor, the few remaining people were forced into a side road, and Alpha thought of opening other roads as a last resort.

This is an old site rebuilt decades ago, and there must be an abandoned passage. The radar really allowed them to discover such a place.

Thor slammed open the door, and after all his subordinates had passed, he stuck a plastic bomb on the door with his backhand.

"Run!"

"Drip..."

"Boom——!"』

"Loki..."

The loud hum of the explosion takes all of Thor's thoughts.

He curled up behind the bunker, large and small gravel fell from the top of his head, and the violent vibration did not stop until a minute later. The dizziness and tinnitus made him tilt his head and want to vomit.The paralyzed senses made him almost unable to move a finger, and he could only keep murmuring his partner's name in his mouth and heart.

He didn't want to die yet, let alone die.

Ultimately, the name brings power.

Thor tightly grasped the gun in his hand, the dust from the explosion reduced the visibility to less than 0.5m nearby.He pushed aside the stones with one hand, and groped in the dark to find his comrades.

"Arvin, Rock?"

He called names one by one.

Originally, he only wanted to use plastic bombs to blow up the passage in a small area and block the pursuers, but he didn't expect to touch the original defense device in this passage. Fortunately, the goal was achieved, but he didn't know if there were any casualties.

Fortunately, after recovering from the tinnitus, Thor also found his distressed subordinates.Only one person had his leg broken by falling stones, and the others had skin injuries.

They didn't dare to stay for long, because they didn't know how long it would take for the pursuers to dig through the gravel.

Several people supported each other and walked deep into the dark corridor in the dark.With the lesson just now, they became more careful, night vision goggles and EOD devices helped a lot.

And the further you go in, the greater the air humidity, and the more defenses you can bypass. Thor felt strange, and silently counted the number, thinking that this should not be what an abandoned passage should have.

Soon, he had the answer.

A group of people walked for a long time in the dark, the soldiers behind put the shoulders of the people in front.When the light returned to his eyes, Thor felt dizzy.

No, this vertigo was not from injury, but from the sudden ripples of sunlight penetrating the water and into the eyes.

The soldiers behind him wondered why the leader stopped suddenly, and followed them out of the passage one by one.

Everyone was stunned, and a group of seven stood at the end of the passage for a long time.

They originally thought that this mission would return without success, or they would fail because they saved people halfway.Who would have thought that on the way to escape, they would find this place by mistake——

Thanos ammunition is not hidden in the mountains, but in the "bottom of the lake".

In front of them is a huge underground space that is hard to see at a glance. The entire inland lake has been hollowed out, and the natural lake has long been transformed into a perfect cover.

It is not the soil that supports the lake, but the curved one-way glass with high pressure.From the top down, it is still a perfect lake bottom. In fact, it has long been transformed into the "ceiling" of the secret arsenal.

Two layers of such high-tech huge glass perfectly played the role of cover and heat insulation.

In this astonishingly large arsenal, thousands of missile heads are neatly stacked below, and there are countless guns, ammunition, and even some new types of weapons of mass destruction in countless moisture-proof boxes.

The total amount of weapons here is roughly the sum of Neschet's C area inventory.

The soldiers present all swallowed their saliva, the afternoon sun shone down, penetrated the lake water, and cast a layer of dazzling ice-blue light on these weapons that could kill people.

"We have to report this." Thor took a deep breath.

Everyone's expressions were very serious, but to their despair, when they turned on the detection equipment, they realized that what they saw was only a layer near the surface, and there were as many as eight layers below the weapon reserve of the same size.This is just a Muspel base. In the previous spy satellite detection, there were more than a dozen similar bases in this country alone.

They didn't dare to stay for long. Fortunately, the reserve base didn't have only one entrance and exit. After detecting other passages, they narrowly escaped.

This result made the Asgard government no longer neglect, and immediately terminated the rebel army's thunderous outpost mission, and held a meeting with other countries in the night.

The news announced by Ultron caused an uproar around the world, and no one dared to underestimate the power of Thanos and his men, because it was enough to shake any huge economy in the world.

If he is not cut off, the world will be hard to be peaceful.

Two days later.

Gunships hovered in mid-air, and tanks stopped at important forks in the road.

The International Criminal Court in Uktra Hill is about to hold the largest hearing in the world in more than half a century.Representatives of 46 countries headed by the United States, Russia, and Asgard will appear in court together.

Their defendant is very special: Thanos, the only survivor of the Titan Kingdom, the Duke of the Dead.

This trial is destined to be difficult. Due to a nuclear holocaust more than 20 years ago, Titan has long since disappeared in the long river of history. As the only survivor, Duke Thanos has been awarded successively for his outstanding contributions to the global economy and environmental protection. Visa-free entry rights to more than 100 countries.Even so, his nationality is still "Titan".

In other words, with the demise of the Titan State, the country is no longer subject to international law, and theoretically no Titan's judiciary can restrain Thanos' evil deeds.

He is the only true "lawless man" in the world.

However, this does not prevent multinationals from suing him in court under the name of endangering the global peace process, suspected of terrorist activities, and inhumane.

Thirty videos released by the "Ultron" organization through the Internet revealed Thanos' ambitions and crimes to the people all over the world. to the highest.

Reporters from all over the world crowded around the cordon, the long streets were blocked, and there were guards with guns every two meters inside the yellow cordon to maintain order.

46 countries around the world jointly sued Thanos, and the International Court summoned the Duke of Subjugation to attend this world-renowned hearing.

Although, no one thinks that Thanos will actually come - all these countries want is a reason to declare war on Thanos and the thirteen countries under his command.

After all, as long as Thanos appears, no matter how many men he can bring, on the territory of the United Nations, it is very likely that these eager countries will be captured on the spot.

So, Thanos can't be here.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and there were still 15 minutes before the official opening of the International Court of Justice.

Thor and Loki stand side by side in front of the screen at the command post in Fort Adler, whether or not Thanos appears, this will be the beginning of a formal counterattack.

10 minute, 5 minutes, 3 minutes...

When reporters were already scrambling to report that the subjugated duke would not respond to accusations from 46 countries, an aircraft gradually appeared in the sky.The first person to notice it was a photographer. He immediately raised the telephoto lens, and soon more people saw it, and they all raised their heads.

The gigantic craft that decloaks is like a concoction of modern technological horrors.

It was pitch black, with a natural sense of oppression, hovering directly above the Uktra Hill International Court, casting a shadow that covered the sunlight in front of the court.

The aircraft descended slowly, with an unscrupulous attitude like a king, so that the crowd who had been watching could only back away in horror.

A few minutes ago, Duke Titan, who was considered by the international public opinion not to be present, unexpectedly came to the scene.However, due to the live broadcast around the world, no soldier from any country dared to attack rashly before the trial.

The cabin door was slowly pushed open, and Thanos, the criminal who had attracted the attention of the world, was standing there in a well-chosen suit.

He stood in front of the cabin door, with a tall figure and purple skin, giving people an endless sense of oppression.But these are not the things that make people's stomachs shrink the most. The real root lies in his extremely calm eyes.

He was not in the slightest nervous about all his atrocities and his impending trial.

At the same time, Dr. Banner, who was far away in Fort Adrian, raised his head from the test bench. His face was pale, and he grabbed a stack of documents and rushed out of the main control room.

"Deciphered it! That hidden folder."
