Chapter 4669 - 3746 Doomsday (2)"Even though things are set, I still suggest you consult with the human governments," Shiller said. "It's obvious that now is not the time for deception, but at least you should go through the motions. I believe all the governments will be willing to actively support your actions to defend the Nine Major Kingdoms."
"We'll have a meeting at the United Nations," Strange said. "The biggest controversy might be the stationing locations. I'll give them three options, with the other two being near Earth and near the Sun. They'll definitely disagree, so Uranus becomes the best choice."
Shiller nodded without objection. Strange and Loki exchanged a glance. Strange asked, "Do you have anything to say about protecting the Nine Major Kingdoms?"
"I guess you're asking if I have an ultimate plan," Shiller said. "I can tell you I do. You know me, the plan is definitely effective, just a bit thrilling in the process. If you're so useless that they attack your home, you can't blame me."
Loki's Adam's apple moved, and then he said, "With the ultimate insurance, we're relieved. Please promise me, don't activate your plan until the final crisis, okay?"
"Don't worry," Shiller nodded and said, "I also hope my plan is never needed. But judging by the current situation..."
Strange quickly interrupted him, saying, "We'll do our best. Things surely won't reach such a desperate situation, right? Loki?"
Loki nodded vigorously, looking at Shiller with an earnest expression. Shiller shrugged and said, "Let's hope so."
Loki left worried. Strange, however, didn't appear anxious. He continued sitting on the sofa, sipping his drink, and said, "How was Steve's birthday? Sorry I missed it."
"It was actually quite nice," Shiller said. "His son caused a little trouble, but it was quickly resolved. The good news is that, after this incident, some of the stronger mutants have decided to stay on Earth temporarily, at least for about a year. This should also help protect Earth."
"Another Omega-level mutant?" Strange sneered. "The existence of the Nine Major Kingdoms doesn't protect Earth but protects the universe. If we let these guys out, who knows what chaos would ensue in the universe."
"The Three Great Empires probably would have used their strategic weapons long ago," Shiller sighed, "Let's not push them too hard. We hope they weaken under prolonged depletion, rather than realize their end is near and self-destruct, dragging the whole universe down with them."
"The current situation is still manageable," Strange said. "The Centaurus constellation is fighting more intensely, the Large Magellanic Cloud is largely unaffected, and the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way are calmer. But the desperate actions of the Three Great Empires are indeed something we cannot ignore."
"You've been staying in Kamar-Taj lately, not just communicating with Asgard, have you? Have you contacted Ying Long?"
"Of course," Shiller said. "I've contacted all the Demon Gods originating from Earth. But as you know, their forms of existence are entirely different, which makes them uninterested in wars among intelligent beings. The Chinese Government did say they have some preventive measures."
"Like running away with Earth?"
"Pretty much." To Shiller's surprise, Strange didn't deny but affirmed this and said, "I can only confirm that they are indeed re
Strange stood up, saying, "I need to check what they're actually doing. Hopefully, they aren't planning to put a Planet Engine right above their heads."
After Strange left, Shiller returned to his office. Since it was still early, he planned to go to the restaurant for a cup of coffee, where he ran into Steve returning from his morning jog.
"You don't have many leisurely days left, Captain," Shiller laughed and said, "Soon, the United Nations will ask you to attend a meeting, requiring you to represent the entire human race in negotiations with Asgard."
"What's happened now?" Steve said while eating his sandwich. "I heard the cosmos has been quite unstable lately. Is Asgard going to war?"
"Quite the opposite, they plan to strengthen the defense within the Nine Major Kingdoms. So they're planning to station troops in the Solar System. Although it's stationing troops, not more than ten people should come. The location will be Uranus, along with a group of Frost Giants. There should be some contract signed between them and the human race. The United Nations will want you to show your face and garner some benefits."
"Sounds like a mess," Steve frowned and said.
"There's something even messier," Shiller snapped his fingers and began counting down, "Three, two, one..."
"Shiller!!!" Strange's shout echoed through the restaurant. He leaped down from a portal in mid-air, panting heavily and said, "You have no idea what I just saw!!!"
Shiller quickly covered his mouth and, with Steve's help, dragged him upstairs. Once in the office, Strange caught his breath, trembling as he pointed and said, "They've hollowed out beneath the Himalaya Mountains!!!!"
"Choosing the Himalaya Mountains? It's actually a good choice," Shiller nodded and said, "Aren't the Mages flying around there every day without noticing?"
"Do you remember the project they helped us with? The one involving those two villages, the lab, and Kamar-Taj..."
Shiller thought for a moment. He recalled it was during the time they planned to cultivate Magic Mushrooms, that China's engineering team made major modifications to that area, and after a period of construction, they even built a high-speed rail there.
"Initially, they just said they wanted to build a lab and dug a hole halfway up the Himalayas to store Chi You's corpse. I agreed. Later, they wanted to help remodel Kamar-Taj a bit, and thinking it indeed looked too ancient, I also agreed. Then they said they wanted to modernize the village, and thinking it could improve villagers' quality of life, I agreed. Finally, they said transportation was inconvenient and wanted to build a high-speed rail; thinking it was indeed necessary, I also agreed."
"So did they sneak in a bit of private goods over the years?"
"It's private goods mixed in with just a bit of serious engineering!!" Strange clenched his fingers and roared, "They've hollowed out the entire Himalaya Mountain! Not just the mountain, they've dug down over 2000 meters beneath it!! Now, the entire Himalaya Mountains are just a shell!!!"
"Like a balloon?" Shiller thought, then was amused by his metaphor and finally said, "The point should be what's inside, right?"
"They put a sun inside! I'm not joking!" Strange snarled and said, "It's a giant fusion reactor, and they've cloaked it with a shield, preventing both Mages and the Magical Defense Network from detecting the energy changes inside. And the crucial issue is, if they have such shielding technology, we don't know what they've built on their own land. That might be the smallest one under the Himalaya!"
