Chapter 206: Obscurity
The technological level of the Earth is far from this. The space jump technology they provided to Thanos is also far beyond Hank Pym's understanding. A few days ago, Lin Feng discussed this matter with Hank Pym, but Hank Pym said that he can't even travel through time and space at present.
“Wakanda has always been a closed country, but this time we opened our doors and quickly established connections with the rest of the world. We hope that people all over the world can learn about Wakanda.”
A majestic and slightly old voice came from the TV on the roadside. Unlike Lin Feng's imagination, the voice of the Wakanda leader was not T'Challa's.
Lin Feng looked up and saw a man with slightly gray hair on the big screen. He was T'Challa's father, T'Chaka. He was vigorously expounding his views.
"Lagos suffered a disaster due to the invasion of the Vanguard Corps, and our expatriates in Wakanda also suffered heavy losses. I feel sad for the loss of these young lives, but I am also proud of their bravery. They gave their lives to protect Lagos. I hope everyone can see their dedication as human beings."
Lin Feng frowned. T'Chaka's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. The people sent by Wakanda to other places died for their own good as human beings, but what about the gods?
As expected, T'Chaka then began to express his views on the gods. "But here, I want to criticize the gods more. The Chinese gods promised to protect us from the wind and rain in times of crisis, but what is the meaning of this promise? Either they never take action and let us fend for ourselves; or they completely protect us and don't let us get hurt. Like now, those who have made contributions have died a worthy death, and their families are heartbroken, while others are only grateful to the gods and don't consider the pain of those who have lost their loved ones. And those who are alive but have become disabled, who cares about their pain?"
T'Chaka became more and more excited as he spoke. As the king of Wakanda, he felt heartbroken for those people who lost their lives because the gods failed to act in time. Therefore, he had to stand up and protest against the irrationality of the gods' existence.
"We are grateful for the gods' kindness and care for us, and for their help in times of crisis. However, the consequences of the gods' actions are entirely borne by us humans. The gods appear when we are becoming famous, but are not there when humans are licking their wounds. What are we? Are we slaves that the gods can summon and dismiss at will? No, we can be self-sufficient. We thank the gods, but we should also rely on ourselves to give."
T'Chaka expressed his views righteously, and his views made the US President ecstatic. "Great, finally someone supports not allowing gods to appear."
At this time, the Kerry people appeared in the office of the US President again. "Hi, Mr. President, how are you doing recently?"
The President of the United States was in a good mood. He looked at the familiar face who was giving him advice and asked, "I don't know your name yet?"
The Kree smiled slightly, "Just call me Roger. Mr. President, should we take this opportunity to launch an action against the gods?"
The President of the United States was overjoyed. "Great minds think alike, Mr. Roger. I have already thought about it. I will secretly use funds to launch anti-God demonstrations, and at the same time unite governments to strive to sign an agreement related to God, and then publicize our hero Miss Carol. With multiple approaches, I will definitely be able to weaken the prestige of God."
Rogge looked at the US president who suddenly came to his senses and felt that he was very insightful, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish Your Excellency President success soon." At the same time, he was secretly happy that with such a fool taking the initiative to help them attract attention, they, the Kerry people, could develop in peace in secret.
The Prime Minister of the Land of Sakura, Rokuro Koizumi, watched the cabinet ministers arguing fiercely and was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
They all saw that there was a voice against God that was quietly growing stronger in the world.
They are now discussing whether they should continue to wait and see, or go with the flow and clearly support the gods?
After arguing for a long time without any result, they had to throw the question back to Koizumi Rokuro.
Rokuro Koizumi felt his scalp tingling. He knew that the power of public opinion could influence many things, but he also knew that the power of God was difficult for humans to resist.
He was in a dilemma as to how to balance the two aspects without offending public opinion.
After thinking for a long time, he remembered that Sakura Country still had a diplomatic ambassador, and he was delighted, "Quick, contact Hashimoto Kanzuki and ask her opinion."
A wave of opposition to God has quietly emerged around the world, expressing opposition to God with a firm attitude.
In random interviews on the street, the reporter heard various voices: "Gods should not exist, and humans should be self-reliant." "Gods are redundant, and humans can get through the difficulties without them." "If gods cannot help humans resist disasters and eliminate poverty, then their existence is meaningless." Some even shouted openly: "Thank you for the efforts made by alien life to save the life on Earth under the rule of gods. Although you have failed, you have won honor and your spirit will live forever!"
"Without gods, humans would have been extinct in various disasters long ago. From the Chitauri army to Hela, Dormammu, and then to Thanos, which one can humans defeat on their own? Instead of reflecting on their own weaknesses, they still fantasize that everything can be solved without gods?" "The gods only help us resist invasion, what's wrong with them? Shouldn't the invaders be at fault? Why are the gods who help us blamed, while the invaders are praised?" "It's really ridiculous. Thank the alien invaders? What did the gods do for us? Didn't they just lend a helping hand when we were on the verge of extinction? Without them, we would have been colonized or even extinct long ago."
The two sides argued endlessly, but many people ignored T'Chaka's original intention: humans should be grateful for the help of gods, but should be self-reliant. They went to extremes, believing that gods should either not exist or should unconditionally protect humans, and attacked those who held different views, even involving their ancestors.
The news media industry was busy with this huge wave of anti-God thoughts and opposing thinking, and news reports related to God occupied the headlines and the heat continued unabated. In the online world, only the Sakura Country had not spoken out.
At this time, the Sakura Country contacted Hashimoto Tamaki who was working in Lagos through a dedicated line.
After following Lin Feng's advice, Hashimoto Kanzuki began to gain a deeper understanding of history, reflect on the harm that the war of aggression had brought to people, and was willing to atone for it.
Seeing this, Lin Feng recommended her to join the post-war reconstruction fund organization founded by Stark, so that she could play her role.
Because of her hard work, outstanding abilities and outstanding appearance, Stark considered and invited her to serve as the image ambassador of the Post-War Reconstruction Fund.
After Thanos' invasion, she rushed to the worst-hit area of Lagos and actively contacted all parties, hoping that they could mobilize resources to contribute to the reconstruction of Lagos.
At this moment, in the ruins of Lagos, Hashimoto Kanzuki is busy coordinating the flow of supplies.
She spent the whole morning busy, connecting with various units, signing for relief supplies, filming videos of the disaster area, and helping out in person when there was a shortage of manpower. Just when she had time to rest for a while, the cabinet hotline called again.
Hashimoto Kanzuki had no choice but to answer the phone. After all, she was a Sakura Country citizen and had to consider everything for the Sakura Country.
"Ms. Hashimoto, have you been following the news around the world recently?"
As soon as Hashimoto Kanzuki heard it, she knew why the cabinet wanted to see her.
As a person specially sent by the Sakura government to be in charge of China's diplomatic affairs, Hashimoto Huanyue is naturally not stupid. She has also heard about the anti-God demonstrations that have emerged around the world, but she doesn't care because it doesn't affect her work.
But the Sakura government cannot ignore this. Their relationship with the United States has broken down. As for how to express their stance towards China, they need to listen to the opinions of Hashimoto Tamaki, who understands the situation in China.
To put it bluntly, they needed a weight with enough weight to strengthen their position. And the person who knew Huaxia best and was close to Lin Feng was her.
Hashimoto Huanyue understood the details instantly, and thought of Lin Feng, so he solemnly advised: "Please inform the Prime Minister that these demonstrations are just people with ulterior motives taking advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble, and will not shake the foundation of China. Moreover, this is only a short-term climax, and there is no follow-up. We in the Sakura Country will support China's attitude in public opinion if we can. If we don't want to offend the current public opinion situation, we must at least remain neutral. Gods can tolerate people's willfulness and ignorance, but it does not mean that people can challenge the authority of gods without bottom line."
The person on the other end of the line was also very serious. "I understand, Ms. Hashimoto. I'll tell the Prime Minister right away."
At this time, another news media found Hashimoto Huanyue and said, "Ms. Hashimoto, Mr. Stark asked us to interview you."
Stark provided a lot of money to the post-war reconstruction fund organization and was the nominal leader, but he didn't really manage things. At the moment, he was analyzing the Kree, so he transferred the media's interview request to Hashimoto Tamaki.
Hashimoto Huanyue, who was about to refuse, suddenly thought of something and smiled, "Okay, I'm available anytime."
"Ms. Hashimoto Kanzuki, we are the news reporting team of UNESCO, and we are here to visit you today."
Hashimoto Kanzuki treated her politely and responded with a smile, "Please start asking questions." She sat casually on a piece of rubble, not minding at all that the rubble and dust might stain her clothes.
"Ms. Hashimoto Kanzuki, are you aware of the recent trends of thought that have emerged around the world?" the reporter asked directly.
Hashimoto Kanzuki pondered for a moment and said frankly, "I have been busy with the reconstruction of Lagos recently and rarely pay attention to the news. But I keep in touch with the outside world and have heard about a trend against gods. Is this what you mean?"
"That's right, what do you think about this?" The reporter's question was direct and clear, as if expecting a clear position.
Hashimoto Huanyue chuckled, "Trends of thought? I don't think so. The emergence of trends of thought should promote the progress of people's thoughts, but these global movements make me feel an anti-intellectual tendency. Even if we are not grateful to the gods, at least we should not blame them. I remember that Professor Lin Feng, the spokesperson for the gods, once conveyed that the gods only appear at the moment of life and death. In other words, without experiencing pain, how can the gods know whether humans are content to enjoy themselves or facing a life-and-death crisis? The people in the disaster area may blame the gods for not helping in time, but how can people who have not experienced these things blame the gods without reason? Moreover, why are they so confident that humans will be able to solve future threats? The gods are always unknown and only show their value when we need them. Isn't this the sadness of mankind?"
Hashimoto Kangetsu's expression gradually became serious, revealing her deep sorrow.
The reporter and the cameraman looked at each other. "Ms. Hashimoto, is this your personal opinion, or is it the position of the entire Postwar Reconstruction Fund?"
Hashimoto Kanzuki thought for a moment and said, "This is probably my personal opinion. We can be grateful to the gods, or we can be in awe of them. We cannot unreasonably demand that the gods sacrifice for us. Humans should be more self-reliant, rather than relying on others for everything. I believe that the gods think the same way."
"Okay, Ms. Hashimoto, thank you for sharing."
The reporter ended the interview.
At the same time, in the Avengers' office building.
"Professor Lin Feng, Professor Lin Feng, the analysis results are out!" Dr. Senna rushed out of the laboratory excitedly, followed by a tired-looking Stark. He smiled bitterly because Senna was so excited that he forgot to put on his pants.
In the past few days, they have been studying the differences between the Kree and the Blue Star people day and night to prevent the Kree from replacing their identities unknowingly. Dr. Senna has made the most efforts. When the research results came out, he immediately rushed out of the laboratory excitedly, completely ignoring the surprised looks of the Avengers staff.
Stark had no choice but to pick up Senna's pants, put them in the bag, and walk towards Lin Feng's office.
"Professor Lin Feng, the analysis results are out. We have found the weakness of the Kree." Senna rushed into Lin Feng's office with excitement. Lin Feng was stunned at first, then closed the door and poured a glass of water for Senna.
He saw that Senna had an untidy beard and dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had been working so hard to crack the genetic code of the Kree that he had forgotten to eat and sleep and even forgot to wear pants.
Senna took the water handed over by Lin Feng and drank it all. "I found the weakness of the Kree people, thanks to Tony. First of all, under different gravity conditions, the Kree people's ability to withstand is far greater than that of the Blue Star people, which is specifically manifested in the reaction of the skin and bones to heavy pressure. Secondly, the Kree people's perception of light sensitivity is far inferior to that of the Blue Star people, and it takes them longer to adapt to strong light. And the third point..."
Senna kept talking, unaware of the embarrassment in his lower body.
