In the next few hours, every Illuminati member led a few low level members to various hideouts of the governments and armies of different countries. Then, there was no then.
It was a complete bloodbath. The governments naturally didn't want to compromise and even if they did compromise on the surface, they would always keep looking for an opportunity to strike down the Illuminati. Thus it was impossible for Alex to let such an unstable factor stay.
Of course, it's not that the governments of different countries were wrong to do so. Basically, just like Alex think of them as an unstable factor, the Illuminati organization is an unstable factor for them. And both parties want to uproot this unstable factor so that it won't affect them at a critical time.
Thus there is no right or wrong here. It's just that Alex was stronger so he won. If he wasn't so strong, then the result would have been completely opposite.
To be honest, Alex didn't want to involve himself with the politics of earth. He initially wanted to establish his organization in space where they had more opportunities. But after the Observer told him about the upcoming danger, he knew that he had no choice but to start with Earth. After all , in all Marvel Universes or realities, Earth is the main focus.
But the Earth which is divided into hundreds of countries and even in a single country there are different parties and factions, such an earth definitely doesn't stand a chance against external threats.
The best example is the New York City war in the Avengers movie, where the Avengers are doing all they could to protect Earth, but the government instead chooses to sacrifice them and millions of people living there and directly dropped a nuclear bomb. But what they don't know is that they are so many powerful enemies in the multiverse who are not even scratched by earth's greatest weapon, a nuclear bomb.
Alex was aware of the suicidal and foolish nature of ruling class thus he didn't want to leave things at luck. Before the sun rose, the Illuminati organization has completely taken control of the Earth.
Except one place that was intentionally spared by them, the SHIELD hellicarrier. And that's exactly where Alex was going to put an end to this farce.
....
SHIELD Hellicarrier.
Control room.
Hundreds of agents were busy working on their computers as they analyzed a large stream of information while the Avengers were gathered in Nick Fury's office, where they were getting live reports.
"Sir, we have lost contact with yet another country's government. They couldn't even leave us a message. "
"Sir, another country... "
Agents completely kept giving reports to Nick Fury.
"This abnormal phenomenon could only mean one thing, someone is targeting the earth. "
Captain America said solemnly while everyone else's expressions also turned grave.
"Yeah, we have already lost contact with all the countries's governments and armies. I'm afraid... "
Agent Hill sighed.
"Sir, we have lost contact with World Council headquarters too. "
As soon as this news came, there was complete silence in the room.
"Illuminati! You forced me. "
Nick Fury said through gritted teeth and secretly pressed a button in his coat's pocket.
"The Earth is done for. "
Hawkeye said helplessly.
"No, there is still time before that. In fact what is happening right now is to save Earth. "
Among this silent and grieving atmosphere, a discordant voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
As everyone turned to look at the speaker in surprise, they were even more stunned when they finally saw who it was.
"Alex! And Banner ! "
Fury shouted solemnly.
There, standing in a corner of the room was Alex who was dragging Bruce Banner with his left hand and casually threw him towards Hawkeye to take care of.
"Here, take care of your friend. He is a little naughty sometimes so be careful. "
Max said with a harmless smile on his face.
"You...! "
Stark was the first one who wasn't able to bear it.
Immediately instructing Jarvis, a few mechanical pieces flew out from the suitcase lying under his sofa and formed his Iron Man armor.
Meanwhile seeing Tony rushing towards Alex on his own, Captain America also picked up his shield in his hands and rushed towards Alex following Tony.
Thor was still hesitating whether he should attack Alex or not, after all, he was a fellow Asgardian as well. If nothing else, he was more of his teammate than the avengers.
Amidst his hesitation, Thor stood still in place. Meanwhile Natasha didn't even try to attack, she was very aware of the strength gap between them and didn't think her attacks would make any difference.
Thus it was only Tony and Captain America who rushed towards him.
But Alex didn't feel any threat from them at all. With just a flick of his hands, both of them were blown away as they crashed against the wall.
Only Avengers of the Infinity War period can affect him a little bit. As for now, Alex didn't think they can even put up a good fight against him.
"I have come here to have a talk with you guys. And here you're, attacking me. "
Alex said helplessly.
"Alex, I know exactly what you and your organization Illuminati is up to. And although we are no match for you but don't think we would just let you have your way with Earth. "
Nick Fury said angrily.
"It doesn't matter what you know. But it's already happened. You've lost your chance to stop us, not that you had one to begin with. "
Alex mocked Fury sarcastically.
"You think we can't do anything to you? Just wait, I'll.... "
Tony finally managed to stand up again and prepared himself for another attack.
"Stand back Tony. You can't do anything about him. Let me have a word with him. "
Thor finally spoke after staying silent for a long time.
"And why should I listen to your orders? "
Tony retorted angrily.
"Stark, please stand back. Let Thor do the talking. "
Nick Fury said in a heavy tone.
He had already calmed down by now and thought about their current situation.
Alex was indeed right. They can't do anything to stop him. Besides, Alex doesn't seem to want to fight them either. So all they can do is stall for time till back up arrives.
