"In short, it couldn't have been done by the Dark Elves. They are at the edge of the solar system and have no way of getting close to the Earth without orders. Moreover... all the Dark Elf warriors are dead, and the few remaining ones can't hurt Sif at all!" Thor persuaded.
Together with Kai, he slaughtered the last dark elf warriors... This actually gave Thor a great shock. After Malekith's death, those dark elf warriors still shouted Malekith's name and rushed towards Thor and Kai.
Some of their faces were silent, some were angry, and some were filled with fear and despair.
But no one backed down.
In fact, Thor would recall these warriors for many days and nights. He didn't know if he would be so decisive if he faced their situation!
They knew their fate, but they still rushed towards Kai and himself without hesitation. That time, Thor even suspected that he was the bad guy... Forgive Thor's immaturity, he is still in the binary thinking of good and evil... He thinks that the dark elves who invaded Asgard are bad guys, and he, as a warrior who protects the earth and Asgard, is on the good camp!
In fact, this view is ridiculous, because things like good and evil are never fixed.
After all, in the eyes of the dark elves, what they did was right, and Kai and Thor were the biggest villains. They wanted to rise and gain living space, so they had to fight. But Kai and Thor completely destroyed their future and killed their king. If this isn't being a villain, what is?
This is a very childish view.
However, for Thor, those scenes at that time were indeed shocking to him.
Thor's words are not acceptable to everyone, after all, he is not Odin. Asgard's system is not advanced, on the contrary, their system has always been quite crude, and they rely heavily on the ruler's own authority to rule.
Therefore, the power of the king in Asgard is entirely determined by the king's own prestige. If your prestige is high, then every word you say is an order. If your prestige is not enough, then I'm sorry, every order you give needs to be clearly explained to the people below.
To be honest, this system is very bad.
What is authoritarian politics?
Authoritarianism is a political system or ideology. Those who adhere to this doctrine believe that the government should demand absolute obedience from the people to "political authority" and restrict individual freedom of thought, speech and behavior, concentrating power in a single leader or a small group. Many authoritarian leaders often exercise power arbitrarily without considering or using existing laws to expand their power. Citizens are usually unable to replace them through free and competitive elections, or there are limited elections but the government has great power to control the elections. The struggle for power and free competition between ruling groups are limited or non-existent. In a broad sense, authoritarian countries include countries that lack civil liberties, such as religious freedom, freedom of speech, or countries where there is no transfer of power between the government and the opposition after at least one free election.
Authoritarian institutions are inherently fragile due to their over-reliance on coercion, excessive centralization of decision-making, and the primacy of individual power over institutional norms. Authoritarian political systems can weaken due to inadequate responsiveness to popular or elite demands, and authoritarian tendencies to respond to challenges by imposing tighter control rather than adapting can undermine legitimacy and cause them to disintegrate.
The disadvantage of this political system is that it puts an extreme test on the ability of the ruler himself. If his ability is a little lacking, the entire society will be in turmoil.
Asgard has existed for more than 10,000 years, and it still uses this trick.
On the one hand, it is because the Asgardians have too long a lifespan and not too high a fertility rate.
As a result, the population has never been too large. At the same time, Asgard has developed too well and the cake is too big, so no matter how the population is divided, everyone can eat their fill. There is no possibility of the society entering a state of internal circulation.
At the same time, the abilities of the kings of Asgard throughout the ages are also very outstanding!
Wise rulers from generation to generation!
Although there have only been three generations of kings since the establishment of Asgard... Thor is not counted, he is still an intern now, and Odin has not been offline so far, he just fell asleep. As long as Odin is still there, Asgard will have a strong bottom line, whether it is Thor or others, they will not be too weak psychologically.
There is someone to support me.
So even though Thor gave an explanation, not many people accepted it.
until……
"I can confirm that they are not dark elves. They have been under my surveillance. There is indeed nothing abnormal about them."
Heimdall waited until Thor was annoyed by the people below, and then he finally spoke.
Thor looked at Heimdall with a helpless look.
He was grateful to Heimdall for speaking for him, but the premise was, could he have said it earlier?
In fact, this is also Thor's fault. After all, if Thor had thought of this earlier, he could naturally use Heimdall to prove his words. Unfortunately, Thor forgot everything.
When Kai received the remnants of the Dark Elves, this matter was made clear to Odin. Odin was a qualified ruler, and he was very wary of the Dark Elves, so he naturally made a request, that the Dark Elves could not block Asgard's sight.
To this, Kay agreed.
In fact, Kai may not completely believe in the dark elves.
After all, this is a dangerous race... The reason why he accepted the allegiance of the Dark Elves was, on the one hand, because he envied the Dark Elves' technology, and on the other hand, it was based on Malekith's last request.
To be honest, apart from his stance and values, Malekith is a very charming person.
But this is only natural. After all, if you want to rule a crazy race like the Dark Elves, you must have some charm yourself... No, it should be said that even a little bit of charm is not enough!
What qualities should a strong leader possess? How can a leader have the ability to govern the market economy and build a harmonious society? Dr. Napoleon Hill, a famous American successful psychology master, once said: "True leadership comes from an admirable personality."
Li Ka-shing, a famous Hong Kong entrepreneur, said in summarizing his many years of management experience: If you want to be the boss of a team, it is much simpler. Your power mainly comes from your position, which can come from fate or from your efforts and professional knowledge; if you want to be the leader of a team, it is more complicated. Your power comes from the charm and appeal of your personality. It can be seen that only when leaders organically combine their own personalized characteristics such as quality, character, style, and working methods with leadership activities can they better complete the governance tasks and demonstrate their governance capabilities; without personal charm, the leader's governance ability is difficult to be perfectly reflected, and no matter how powerful they are, their work can only be passive.
Personality or individuality, according to the definition of Allport, a famous American personality psychologist, refers to "the dynamic organization of the individual's internal physical and mental system that determines a person's unique behavior and thoughts." In other words, personality is the spiritual quality or unique psychological characteristics that distinguish a person from others. It is composed of motivation, needs, beliefs, values, abilities, temperament, character and other elements. Among them, ability is a personal psychological characteristic that directly affects the efficiency of a person's activities and enables the activities to be completed smoothly. It is an important component of personality, a support for personality, and can highlight personality. If a leader does not have abilities that exceed those of ordinary people, it is impossible for him to have an admirable personality.
Personal charm refers to a kind of cohesiveness and appeal of personality that is comprehensively reflected by many factors such as a person's beliefs, temperament, disposition, appearance, conduct, intelligence, talent and experience. Capable people do not necessarily have personal charm. Without excellent character and personal charm, even if a leader is outstanding, people's impression of him will be greatly reduced, and his prestige and influence will also be negatively affected. The personal charm of a leader affects his ability to govern, and its influence is mainly reflected in the affinity, cohesion and appeal generated by the leader's use of power, which makes the leaders willing to work hard to achieve the set goals.
The best thing about charisma and charisma is that they increase your ability to influence others. When people see you as charismatic, they are more likely to take the action steps you suggest.
If a leader lacks personal charisma, he can only rely on the power system to make up for it. For example, most of your leaders do not have any so-called personal charisma. They can only cite company rules and regulations to make things happen. To put it bluntly, they use their power to suppress others, which is quite annoying.
If Malekith did this, he would be overthrown by the dark elves below within three days.
To be honest, Kai did feel the charm of this guy. Even at the last moment, the dark elves under his command still refused to leave him.
So out of respect for him, Kai took in the dark elf.
But considering the past of the Dark Elves, Kai would not be so foolish as to really believe that they would follow him wholeheartedly. You know, Kai's hands were also stained with the blood of the Dark Elves. So Kai did two things. First, he took out the Holy Grail and asked each of them to drink the water from the Holy Grail.
As long as you drink the water from the Holy Grail, it is equivalent to signing a contract with the Holy Grail.
Their souls will belong to the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail will belong to Kay.
So it can be said that they sold their souls to Kai.
Speaking of this, Kai has always been curious about what the Holy Grail is. Although it is called the Holy Grail, it is actually very evil.
But even so, Kai did not take it lightly. After all, although the dark elves sold their souls to Kai, Kai was not watching them all the time. If they did something in private, Kai would not be able to monitor them in real time.
And the shackles of the Holy Grail are not omnipotent.
For example, Kai can use the Holy Grail to order them not to betray or harm the people on Earth.
But there is still a chance to bypass this kind of command.
For example, they could capture an asteroid, pull it into the Earth's gravity, and then leave it alone. Let the asteroid be captured by the Earth's gravity, and eventually the asteroid will hit the Earth...
Kai can regulate their actions, but he can't regulate their thinking.
After all, pulling an asteroid into the Earth’s gravity doesn’t count as harming humanity!
Because there are too many surprises.
Compared to the entire universe, the Earth is nothing but a sea of change. Compared to other planets in the universe, the Earth's mass and volume are very small, and its density is also very small, but the Earth is different from other planets, that is, there is hope for life on Earth. Many years ago, the Earth was hit by asteroids many times, but the frequency was not very high, about once every few million years.
Theoretically, the Earth has been riddled with holes by meteorites since its birth. But why hasn't it become like this? The reason is that there is a largest and most massive planet in our solar system, Jupiter. The reason why the Earth will not be hit is that Jupiter's gravity covers the orbits of all eight planets. In order to protect the normal operation of the entire solar system, it has been hit countless times by meteorites.
The most reliable event happened in recent years. A meteorite in the sky was smashed by the huge gravity, forming a row of 17 small meteorites, which hit the surface of Jupiter one by one. According to research, each meteorite will smash the earth to pieces. So, in this case, Jupiter has made a huge sacrifice for us. It patrols the same orbit all the time. The second reason is because of the earth itself. The atmosphere has a good protective function. For ordinary meteorites, entering the atmosphere means entering the death zone. Strong friction will grind the meteorite to pieces, and only a small part will fall into the earth. But it is no longer in shape.
Of course, if there are more, that may not be the case!
In short, although Kai took in the dark elves, he would not really take it lightly.
Odin just made the request.
Kai naturally had no objection.
Although the dark elves were very uneasy, they had to bow their heads under the eaves.
He could only agree humiliatingly and would not activate the stealth system, completely blocking the observation of the Rainbow Bridge.
The Dark Elves also knew about their hatred for Asgard, so they were always worried that they would be liquidated by Asgard.
It was just that after so long, they discovered that Asgard was really just observing and not doing anything to them.
Kai was even more relaxed with them, sending them to the edge of the solar system to do some guard work most of the time, and most of them established new colonies on Mars.
With the colony ship, they easily developed their own small town on Mars.
Kai didn't require them to pay taxes and didn't interfere much in their lives.
As for the dark elves themselves, there were only a few small ones left, and they had no energy to cause trouble.
Although a few Dark Elves may still harbor some hatred, most Dark Elves feel okay. After all, Kai does not allow them to spread the old-fashioned traditions of the Dark Elves and allows them to live a good life.
Therefore, the dark elves are generally very law-abiding.
