Chapter 199: You Should Join Us

"Well, then I'll use the center of the universe, Earth, to threaten you." H'el casually tossed Scar back into the stellar vortex, leaning against the back of his seat, the back of his head snug against the metallic texture of the chair, looking coldly at Ganther.

Ganthet's eyes, filled with anger, narrowed.

Before coming to negotiate, the cosmic guardians speculated that H'el likely knew that Earth was the center of the universe. That's why he didn't hesitate to rush to Earth from the cosmos, wanting to establish a new Krypton here.

This indicated that he wouldn't easily accept any star system, and it would be difficult to make him leave the solar system.

In response to H'el's knowledge that Earth was the center of the universe, the cosmic guardians had other measures in place.

The majestic momentum of the impending catastrophe dissipated in an instant around Ganthet. He inserted his hands into the sleeves of his robe, closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, then opened his eyes calmly and said:

"So, you do know that Earth is the center of the universe. But I'm sure you don't know what the center of the universe—Earth—represents?"

"I'd like to hear more," H'el said.

Indeed, H'el didn't know what Earth represented as the center of the universe. He only knew that major events in the DC universe occurred on Earth.

As for what was special about Earth, H'el could only attribute it to the fact that Earthlings were the ones who created comic books, so Earth must be special.

But obviously, in the real existence of this DC world, Earth clearly had other responsibilities, to the extent that Ganthet had to calm down in the face of H'el's threat and start explaining.

"You will become like us, joining the alliance, becoming a guardian of Earth's safety," Ganthet said calmly.

H'el raised his eyebrows in surprise, remaining silent, listening intently.

What kind of joke is this?

Are you saying I should become a superhero and defend Earth?

"Earth is the center of the universe. Our universe is the positive material universe. In contrast, there is the anti-material universe, which is opposed to the positive material universe.

Any trace of energy from the anti-material universe cannot coexist with the positive material universe. Once they collide, both universes will be destroyed.

Everything from the anti-material universe cannot be utilized by the positive material universe.

Earth is the pivot point of these two universes. It cannot disappear, nor can it be opened."

Ganther continued calmly, "Using Earth to threaten us, Kryptonian Emperor, is the most failed strategy. We can only become allies."

When he understood the significance of Earth as the center of the universe, he could only become a guardian of Earth.

As long as one is not deliberately seeking death, not the kind of madman who wants to destroy the universe, they must ensure the safety of Earth.

Otherwise, with the collision of the positive material universe and the anti-material universe, both universes would be destroyed, and no life could survive such a catastrophe.

To coexist with the universe, relying on the authority of the Olympian gods under the universe's jurisdiction, is why they need to stand guard on Earth.

However, the Olympian gods have always enjoyed heavenly pleasures in the heavenly realm, indulging in luxury and extravagance. For a long time, their tranquility made them lose their vigilance. Before Superman, Supergirl, and H'el came to Earth, they ignored Earth, which led the cosmic guardians to discover, upon their arrival on Earth, that there were unexpectedly so many cosmic races present on Earth.

Earth inexplicably possesses an attraction, drawing cosmic races to its shores.

Including H'el, the cosmic guardians believe he is just another cosmic race inexplicably drawn to Earth, just like them.

But H'el knowing that the universe revolves around Earth makes it particularly unusual. He is entitled to know more about Earth.

H'el silently looked at Ganthet. According to what he said, Earth indeed couldn't be used by him as a threat.

Unless he himself also wanted to die, or he had had enough of life and wanted to drag the universe down with him, would he lay a hand on Earth.

But... I have the ability to travel through universes. Even if Earth explodes and the positive and anti-material universes collide and are destroyed, I and the new Krypton can still survive. However, we would lose this universe as a foothold and wouldn't be able to shuttle through other universes as our main mode of travel anymore. We would be trapped in a certain universe.

H'el thought to himself and suddenly realized that the safety of this universe was even more important than he had imagined.

After all, he could use this universe as a base to travel through vortexes, traverse different worlds, and obtain various resources from different universes. Eventually, he could become a powerful figure breaking through the boundaries of the universe.

This universe was more important to him.

Because his future was bound to be broader and more magnificent than that of the Olympian gods and cosmic guardians. His future was more worth looking forward to.

H'el felt sad all of a sudden. After going around in circles, he found that he should be some kind of protector and, more importantly, protect Earth to prevent it from exploding.

This little planet was really annoying.

"Is there anyone else who doesn't want to survive and wants to destroy Earth?" H'el could sense Ganthet's attempt to persuade him from his tone.

As long as one knew that Earth was the center of the universe and possessed strength similar to that of the cosmic guardians, they were worth being treated as allies, jointly defending Earth.

"Darkseid, the ruler of Apokolips. He is the only one who hopes for the destruction of the positive material universe. It's just that between the destruction of the positive and anti-material universes, there is a chance for him to find the Anti-Life Equation. For this reason, he pursues the center of the universe at the risk of his life, constantly trying to destroy both universes."

"As long as you are on Earth, Darksied will be the enemy you must face." Ganthet looked calmly at H'el.

"I won't leave Earth."

H'el narrowed his eyes.

What Ganthet said would eventually be verified, and there was no need to deceive himself.

On the contrary, he was even more eager to board the ship guarding Earth.

After knowing that Earth was the center of the universe and was related to the destruction of the universe, H'el couldn't let go.

Losing this universe meant that he couldn't traverse other universes in the future, which was intolerable for H'el.

Traveling through vortexes required being in this universe to reach other universes. Just based on this, H'el couldn't allow anything to happen to Earth.

"Kryptonian Emperor, I can see your desire to preserve your life and control. You won't allow your life to be in the hands of others. You must become a protector of Earth." Ganther looked deeply at H'el and said, "I will contact Zeus, remove the magical barrier around Earth, and sign a trilateral agreement to jointly defend Earth."

With that, he rose straight from his chair.

"Okay, as long as Zeus doesn't mind me killing his daughter."

Without hesitation, Ganthet turned to leave.

"That's just a tool for Zeus to satisfy his desires. What's there to mind?"
