But on second thought, this is quite normal. After all, a dozen cities, including Washington, ., were almost completely devastated in this disaster.
President Ellis's order is understandable, considering the need for rapid post-war reconstruction.
Who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to make a fortune?
Although Nick Fury was very dissatisfied with President Ellis's barbaric act of "grabbing by force," it was useless!
Not to mention him, the mere director of ., even his superior, Secretary Alexander Pierce of the Security Council, wouldn't get any respect from President Ellis.
So… as a result, the plan to create a 'Mechanical Behemoth Legion,' which Nick Fury had just regarded as the 'best strategy,' had to be adjusted accordingly.
Because as the cost of acquiring those Titan corpses increases, .'s financial statements will inevitably show a huge deficit if it wants to maintain the scale of the previous concept.
And after a series of previous financial cuts, neither . nor Nick Fury's personal coffers can afford this astronomical figure.
So either Nick Fury takes the initiative to reduce the number of 'Mechanical Behemoth Legions,' or he quickly finds one or several rich and foolish patrons for off-site investment…
However, just as Nick Fury was considering whether to call Alexander Pierce to see if he could apply for a special fund to purchase some Titan corpses, Maria Hill's words directly broke him again.
"Ahem, well… Director, the funds for auctioning the giant beast corpses don't seem to be used for post-war reconstruction, but as requested by… ahem, I mean, at the request of the Aspace Corporation, those giant beast corpses are being publicly auctioned as the other party's private property!"
Bang—!!!
Nick Fury suddenly stood up, all the beautiful fantasies in his heart shattered. His dark chin trembled incessantly due to extreme anger. After a moment, he finally hysterically shouted the name of the man he regarded as his number one enemy.
"Karl Malla… I'm not finished with you!!!"
…
Somewhere in a warehouse near Mara Island.
"My friend, I have never felt the world so beautiful as I do now!"
A fisherman wearing a faded T-shirt and a dark green soft leather waterproof apron, led Allen Jonah into the depths of the cold storage, while chattering and complaining:
"I saw on the news that the corpses of those giant beasts will be publicly auctioned in a few days. Presumably, this kind of thing will definitely become an extremely rare resource in the future…"
"But you don't have to worry at all. I'm not a greedy person, and my requirements are not high. It's just that, affected by that damn Oxygen Destroyer, this sea area where I and my men depend on for survival can no longer be used for fishing, because all the marine life is dead…"
"So as long as you can pay us enough money to move and start a new life, this thing is yours!"
As he spoke, the fisherman stopped in front of a dark cold storage, raised his hand and pulled down the power switch on the side, and the lights in the cold storage suddenly came on.
Immediately, a huge dragon head like a small mountain was displayed in front of Allen Jonah and others.
It was the head that Ghidorah had bitten off by Godzilla underwater in the second battle between Ghidorah and Godzilla.
After seeing the news on TV that the corpses of those Titan beasts were going to be publicly auctioned, this group of fishermen immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to turn themselves around.
So they spontaneously united to salvage Ghidorah's head, hoping to exchange it for capital to start a new life!
However, since the news said that the ownership of all Titan corpses belonged to the Aspace Corporation, the fishermen could not publicly auction the dragon head.
They can only secretly find interested buyers through relationships.
And Allen Jonah came over immediately after receiving the news. No one knows the value of this dragon head better than him, so he said without hesitation:
"Deal, we want this…!!"
…………
…
London.
"Viewers, as you have just seen, this unprecedented Titan Cataclysm that swept across a dozen countries and cities around the world has finally come to an official end with the fall of the last Titan beast."
"A well-known economist made a rough estimate of the direct economic losses caused by this disaster to be as high as more than 3 trillion, and the number of deaths worldwide due to giant beasts is at least about 700,000. The number of injured is too large to be accurately counted for the time being, but it is estimated to be at least more than 3 million…"
"In addition, according to relevant information that our reporter just learned from the Daily Bugle, the cause of this incident has been confirmed to be related to Dr. Emma Russell, a former senior executive of the Monarch organization…"
"The United Nations called on countries around the world a few hours ago to hold an emergency meeting to jointly discuss the issue of post-disaster reconstruction, as well as discuss the risk assessment issues brought about by the increased number of Titans held by Sokovia and the Aspace Corporation…"
In an apartment, a girl who looked like a child in her teens, with short golden hair, pointed to the news being broadcast on the TV and excitedly said to a woman beside her who looked like she was in her thirties, with brown shoulder-length curly hair and an Asian face:
"Wow, Sersi, did you see that? That human who can control King Kong is so handsome."
"But speaking of these Titan beasts from the Hollow Earth, they seem to have great similarities in some abilities with the Deviants we eliminated before. Do you think… could they be new mutants evolved from the Deviants?"
The woman called Sersi smiled and shook her head, "Sprite, don't worry, these Titan beasts are just some primitive Earth species that have undergone specific mutations due to the energy radiation overflowing from the Hollow Earth Cradle. They are not mutants of the Deviants…"
"But speaking of it, the earliest purpose of the Celestials sending the Deviants to Earth was to deal with these top predators!"
"What?" Sprite heard this and immediately became interested, holding her chin in both hands, and asked with a curious look: "Tell me what's going on? Why have I never heard of this story?"
"This is not a story."
Sersi smiled, and then slowly said, "In fact, before the Celestial Arishem sent us Eternals to Earth, the first to be sent were the Deviants… Their mission was to use violence to eliminate those top predators that were causing abnormal changes due to the energy overflowing from the Hollow Earth Cradle, so as to ensure that intelligent life on Earth… that is, humans, could develop normally, and those top predators naturally included this group of Titan beasts!"
"It's just that in this long process, the Deviants gradually developed their own ideas by devouring and evolving while eliminating those top predators.
They betrayed the Celestials, betrayed their mission, and began to hunt and attempt to eliminate the weak humans, so Arishem sent us Eternals more than 7,000 years ago to stop their actions and protect humans from these Deviants."
"So that's how it is?"
Sprite showed a look of sudden realization, but then asked with some confusion: "But we have already killed all the Deviants 5 centuries ago. Why doesn't Arishem let us return to Olympia?"
Sersi shook her head helplessly when she heard this, "We must get Arishem's notice if we want to go back… but I'm afraid even the leader Ajak doesn't know when that day will come."
"Okay."
Sprite said with a bitter face: "I'm really fed up with being treated like a child by those stupid humans… But it seems that my wish to 'become' an adult will probably not be realized for a long time… I really look forward to the day when the mission is completed can come as soon as possible."
"But Sersi, do you know what's inside the Hollow Earth Cradle? And why does Arishem ask us to protect humans from the Deviants? Are humans different from other races?"
Sersi smiled and spread her hands, "I don't know about this, I'm afraid only the leader Ajak knows?"
The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!
"Okay." Sprite suddenly looked at Sersi with a wicked smile and said: "Speaking of which, you seem to be getting very close to that history professor named Whitman recently. You two… should have already gone to a hotel, right?"
"Cough cough…"
A trace of panic suddenly appeared on Sersi's face, and she said with shame and anger: "No, I didn't, we haven't gotten to that point yet!"
"Tch, I believe you."
Sprite curled her lips, but then asked curiously: "What does love feel like?"
"Why are you asking this?" Sersi said with a coquettish smile: "You are still young, these are not things you should know."
Sprite puffed up her chest angrily, but found that it was still as flat as an airport runway, and suddenly shouted a little discouraged:
"Humph, stop it, my psychological age is already more than 7,000 years old, how am I young?"
"But I advise you to tell that man the truth as soon as possible. After all, human life is limited and cannot have a long life like us, so… you don't have to worry about me at all, move out and live with him!"
Sersi said a little embarrassedly: "Cough cough… let me think about this again, but Sprite, don't you think that the disasters on Earth seem to be becoming more frequent recently? I feel that this should not be a simple coincidence!"
Sprite obviously also noticed something unusual, tilted her head and asked: "Then should we go to the leader Ajak now to report this situation?"
"This…"
Sersi looked at Karl's fleeting figure in the news and said thoughtfully: "Let's wait a little longer, I want to observe for a while to see if I can find any other evidence."
…………
…
As night fell, after successfully establishing a Contract with Mothra and Queen MUTO, who had newly joined the Titan Security Team, Karl temporarily sent all four Titans, including King Kong and Godzilla, to the Celestial One Dimension.
After all, Sokovia has limited land area. If King Kong wants to pull the security team out for training on weekdays, he can't fully deploy it.
Although the area of the Celestial One Dimension is not too large, the population density is far lower than that of Sokovia. In addition, the huge desert outside the Sun City is simply the best place for the Titan Security Team to conduct daily training.
However, Karl would naturally not allow the Titan Security Team to be stationed in the Celestial One Dimension for a long time, because he was ready to take the security team directly to the Hollow Earth after obtaining the Space Stone.
That is their real home, the real giant beast paradise!!
As long as he lets King Kong rule there, Karl will have a powerful Titan Legion in the future!
After dealing with all the trivial matters at hand, Karl finally ended his busy day and returned to his room under the escort of two Phase One Thunder Warriors.
Lying on the soft big bed, Karl finally had time to start counting the rich harvest that the Titan Cataclysm had brought him this time.
Undoubtedly, this harvest far exceeded any previous one!
First of all, the souls of ordinary humans, this time a total of more than 800,000 souls were harvested!
This is still due to the fact that Ghidorah and other Titan beasts were quickly killed by King Kong, otherwise this number may rise to more than one million.
But even so, the number of souls harvested this time is more than twice the total amount Karl harvested in the previous year!
In addition to the large number of ordinary souls, there are also a total of 11 Titan beasts' souls, including Ghidorah.
For Karl and the Aspace, these special biological souls comparable to Shou-Lao and Ammit are the real highlight!
As long as they are modified to a certain extent, these Titan beasts will definitely shine in the upcoming dimensional war, fighting for Karl in the heavens and becoming the nightmare of those guys who claim to be gods!!
In addition, the most pleasant harvest for Karl is naturally the joining of three Titan beasts, including Godzilla!
This undoubtedly further enhanced the strength of the Aspace Corporation's facade, and in the next stage of the plan, these Titan beasts can also be used to explore and conquer the entire Hollow Earth.
Not to mention the countless beast resources there, the clean and efficient Hollow Earth energy crystals alone are enough to bring Karl immeasurable sky-high benefits…
In addition, Karl also gained nearly 140 million massive [Prestige Points]!!
