Chapter 342 S: Glorious Event (22)_2

The entire process was incredibly fast, taking no more than a few seconds from start to finish. After it was over, the fleet was intercepted and stopped near the gravitational field of the Dark Planet.

At the same time, another fleet located more to the front slowly set off. This fleet looks exactly like the Kree fleet.

On the moon of the Dark Planet, Strange and several Grand Mages were busily checking. He turned to the woman in the dark blue robe behind him and asked, "How stable is the 'Form of Aiken'? Make sure there are no fluctuations in the illusion techniques during the fleet's return."

"Don't worry. Among all illusion magic, the Form of Aiken is the most realistic. When we create duplicates of ourselves, we can even replicate all our strength. If we imitate something without life, the accuracy will be even higher."

Strange nodded, focusing on maintaining the magical brilliance in his hands, while another male mage continually guided him, "Illusion magic is a very powerful part of Karmathagic Magic. The illusions we create are not just illusions, but another layer of reality..."

"The somewhat ethereal illusions you've seen in the past were due to a lack of energy. Now, with enough energy, the power that illusion techniques can exert is maximized..."

"Listen! You must concentrate and firmly believe that everything you create is real..."

Strange closed his eyes, frowning; the magic brilliance in his hand becoming more and more vigorous. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Venom, who was standing opposite him, holding a camera, "Can you stand aside? You are disturbing my magic practice, do you know?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is broadcasting live, and I am their hired cameraman, so I need to be professional…"

"Damn it, why don't you shoot those ships?"

"Of course, it's because the action of replacing those ships has been repeated once already, and I haven't filmed you practicing magic."

Strange sighed. As the camera zoomed in, his helpless expression came into view. Nick, who was sitting in the surveillance room of S.H.I.E.L.D., said, "Magic is a marvelous thing that can replicate an identical fleet. This somewhat crazy plan is about to succeed."

"I said before, this plan has a very high success rate." Shiller picked up his water cup and took a sip, "Simple, but effective."

When humans learned that a Kree fleet was stationed on the edge of the Milky Way, the first thing they thought about was what benefits this fleet could bring to humans. The most valuable property in this fleet, of course, was the battleship.

But as Loki said, the large Planet Warship was a bit beyond human capacity. To get it, the cost would be greater than the gain.

The moral bottom line had tested a few people. Although greedy, they were rational. They decisively gave up the big one and began to target these smaller escort ships.

That mutants and symbiotes were able to hijack a battleship was an unexpected joy, which also facilitated the progress of their subsequent plans.

This plan, whether in conception or execution, is actually very simple and mainly exploits the unique advantages of various human forces.

The symbiotes and mutants might have stolen an escort ship, but they surely couldn't repeat this method to steal all escort ships. Like taking something from one place, it will definitely be moved to a different spot the next day.

If using this method to force the three escort ships of a patrol squadron to "steal", the commander of the Planet Warship will definitely notice something wrong if the patrol ships did not return, and would not send out any more escort ships patrolling. That is to say, this trick can only be used once. If you want to steal again, you can only risk getting close to the Planet Warship.

However, humans also have a group of mages, who have a whole host of generous customers. With abundant energy and mature technology, there is simply too much leeway to exploit.

Each Kree individual is under the surveillance of the Supreme Wisdom, the operating logic of all their actions is actually set by the Supreme Wisdom, and the same goes for the operation of the fleet.

Plans made by intelligent life forms have many advantages, such as maximum efficiency and steady operation, but they also have disadvantages, such as being relatively rigid.

The authority of the Kree commander is not high, so he cannot make on-the-spot adjustments to the current situation of the fleet. After accidentally losing a small escort ship, the patrol order has not changed, so they still patrol the galaxy in squads of three escort ships.

The scientists of Earth calculated the safest location based on their patrol routes, which happens to be the Dark Planet.

When the Kree's escort fleet enters the vicinity of the Dark Planet, the humans will launch a major offensive, with a large number of mutants and symbiotes jointly attacking the escort ships, striving to complete the operation in the shortest possible time.

The moment the real fleet is captured, illusion battleships created by Earth's mages using the "Form of Aiken" illusion magic will depart from the gravity band of the Dark Planet as usual.

These illusionary spaceships, when flying back beside the planet warships, still have a buffering time. The returned battleships do not immediately fly back to the planet warship to replenish supplies, but stay in the cosmos for some time, waiting for the previous battleships to complete recharging before entering. This greatly slows down the time of being exposed.

In the duration between the first return of the illusion battleship and its entry into the planet warship for recharging, two more battle squads will embark on patrol. Even if the illusion battleship delays a bit, it would wait till the third squadron of ships to set off.

Just like that, unbeknownst to them, nine of the Kree battle ships have already been replaced. Along with the one brought by the symbiotes and mutants earlier, it reaches the intended target of ten battleships. These ten battleships can already constitute a full-fledged spaceship fleet.

After the last battleship was in place, Shiller clapped his hands and said, "Great, from Battleships Brilliance 23 to Brilliance 14, all have returned to the embrace of Mother Earth, we can celebrate."

"Let's talk about the celebration later, I've been wanting to ask why they are named Battleships Brilliance, and why it starts counting backwards from 23?" Stark asked.

"Because they have 23 escort ships, don't they?" Shiller said as if it were only natural, "They all look identical, haven't we proved this before? Those are the heritage left by the ancient human civilization, which rightfully should be inherited by us."

"Now, we only reclaimed 10 ships. If the remaining 13 are destroyed due to irresistible forces, the culprit who caused all this is the Kree. So, they must compensate us..."

"So, the Kree still owe us 13 spaceships???"

Shiller stepped forward and shook hands with Stark, saying sincerely, "Interstellar mathematician Stark put forth the Human Spaceship Rate First Theorem today."

Stark covered his eyes and said, "I really overestimated you guys."

Shiller and Nick exchanged looks, with Nick saying, "If not for the fact that the one in the middle stood out too much, we originally wanted to regard it as a part of the heritage that we should inherit too."

"Might as well say that the whole Kree civilization is a heritage that humanity ought to inherit."

Hearing these words, Nick and Shiller shook their heads and clapped, Nick walked over and shook Stark's hand, saying sincerely, "Interstellar Jurist Stark put forth the Human Civilization Heritage Succession Law today."

Stark wore an exasperated expression, just then, Strange and Venom walked in. Shiller greeted Venom, "Mr. Brock, over here. Just now, our greatest mathematician and jurist Mr. Stark, proposed a great theorem regarding the ship ratio and inheritance law of human civilization. He claimed that the ship rate of human civilization is a negative constant, and the Kree fleet coming over to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy is a long journey of homecoming."

Just as Shiller and Nick were about to join forces and test the moral line of Stark and Eddie, Iceman pushed in Charles's wheelchair. Charles spoke:

"Erik is ready."
