Chapter 2104 Asking for a guaranteed double monthly ticket!!!
Kai fell silent. He could have said that everything was fine, but the problem was… this kind of words might be enough to fool ordinary people, but it was obviously impossible for Joe, who was also a policeman. After all, if everything was really going well, Kai should have come to Los Angeles to deal with this goddess, instead of repeatedly promising to let others solve the problem.
"Honestly, I don't know, Joe. This matter concerns the whole world. I must do my best, but I can't guarantee the result." Kai said honestly: "But for now, it shouldn't be the worst situation."
Kai was not very sure about this encirclement and suppression of Geer. Although Kai always said that he looked down on Geer, in fact, Kai paid great attention to Geer. After all, this guy was not famous for nothing. Even if the Pantheon's rubbish was corrupt, it was impossible for them to be slaughtered like pigs!
The decline of the Pantheon lies in its ambition and work style. In fact, its strength has not weakened. On the contrary, it is much stronger than it was ten thousand years ago!
But even so, Gel actually got the title of God Killer. Tell me if it's an exaggeration or not!
Of course, this is also related to the Pantheon's lack of courage and fear of death. When death comes easily, people are not afraid of death. When death is very difficult, those people become very, very afraid of death!
Just like we discussed before that rich people are more afraid of death than poor people.
The Pantheon made deals with demons to make their lifespans nearly immortal, which made them weak and even cowardly. After all, the world is so beautiful, why should they fight and kill each other? The gods in the past actually had lifespans, but they were much longer than humans, but also limited.
For example, before leaving the earth, the life span of the Greek gods was only a few hundred to a thousand years. They knew that their life span had a limit, which could inspire their courage and allow them to sacrifice themselves for more important things.
For example, Zeus has always been a symbol of courage. He was the first to stand up against his father and rescue his brothers and sisters. He was also the one who dared to face Typhon, the king of monsters, alone.
Because at that time he knew that he had more important things to fight for and to protect.
What about Zeus now?
He knew that his life span was almost eternal... Of course, this was an exaggeration, but Zeus knew that he could live for a very long time, so he himself became the most important thing. He only protected himself.
Most other gods think the same way.
This is also the reason why, even though there are so many gods in the Pantheon, which could kill Gel to death, they choose to compromise and avoid.
They are too afraid of sacrificing themselves.
Of course, there is no doubt that Gel is powerful.
So Kai is not 100% sure, he can only say that he has tried his best.
Barry immediately said excitedly: "Maybe I can help!"
Barry actually admires Kai very much. There is no policeman who doesn't admire him. Of course, Barry actually has some opinions about Kai's methods of doing things, but this is not a big problem. After all, Barry is not a self-centered person. His principles are his own principles. It is impossible for everyone in the world to follow the same principles as him.
Damn, American police kill more than a thousand people every year!
NBC News reported that the media found through analysis of the "Police Violence Map" database that recorded police killings in the United States have continued to occur in the 10 years since the killing of Michael Brown Jr. in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked nationwide protests against police brutality. NBC News analysis found that from 2013 to 2023, police killed 1000 to 1300 people each year. From 2019 to 2023, recorded police killings have risen every year.
If he really cared about this, the first thing Barry would change would be the American police.
Although there are some minor flaws, this does not change the fact that Barry worships Kai... You know, all of Barry's backyard teams are provided by Kai! Strictly speaking, Barry is also Kai's employee. After all, everything he enjoys now is funded by Kai.
Kai was silent for a moment.
He is evaluating.
To be honest, among all the superheroes, he thinks the most underestimated one is the Flash. His ability is actually very powerful, and that high speed ability is more useful than any other ability.
If he were here, he might be a powerful weapon against Gel.
But after thinking it over again and again.
Kai rejected Barry's offer.
It’s not that Kai is arrogant and thinks he doesn’t need help, but given the current situation, it’s better for the Flash to stay in Los Angeles.
You know, what they have to face now is not just the threat from Gel.
As problems arose with the Great Guardian, all sorts of monsters from other dimensions began to cause trouble on Earth.
A Hundred Demons Night Parade in Paris.
The Bloody Cross Plague in Chicago.
A strange disease appeared in London.
Strange things have happened all over the world. Los Angeles is not having any problems for now, but that is only temporary. Before the Great Guardian is repaired, there is no safe place on Earth. And these places need others to protect them.
This is also the reason why Kai didn't look for anyone else.
Logically speaking, he would have called out to Tony and the three Chicago ladies.
But the situation in New York and Chicago... especially Chicago, which had just experienced the Bloody Cross Plague and then a citizen riot, was a complete mess. Under such circumstances, how could Kai possibly call them over?
Who knows when Ger will appear?
If Gel hides for a while, and then a group of people gather in Hong Kong and wait...what about things outside?
Don’t let the time come when Gel is dealt with, and when he returns home he finds that his old nest has been exposed by others!
So forget it.
"The current situation is very bad, you should stay in Los Angeles. As you have seen recently, some messed up things are happening all over the world. At this time, you'd better keep an eye on your own territory. If you really let the chaos spread, the situation may be even worse!"
This is really not Kai's nonsense.
There is no way, who says the earth is so special? Just like the meat of Tang Monk in the universe, everyone who sees it wants to take a bite.
There are so many chaotic demons that it’s hard to count them all.
If they really caused great damage, the consequences would be hard to predict.
To Kamar-Taj, the demons themselves are not a problem, but the harm they cause is the most troublesome!
Barry is obviously a stubborn person. He won't just let it go unless you explain it to him clearly.
"So can you tell us what happened? At least we need to be prepared. For example, who are our enemies? What are their characteristics?"
Kai sighed, "Really, Barry, I really wish I could tell you everything, but I can't... Let's put it this way, the Earth has been under threat since ancient times, but the difference is that there have always been people protecting us. That's why the Earth has not been completely devoured by the enemies. Including those gods... They used to be the protectors of the Earth, at least they used to be. Later, for some reason, a group of people felt that the gods could not protect the Earth well, so they drove them away. And these people set up a huge protective shield on the Earth to protect the Earth from being peeped at by those messy enemies, so we humans had a period of free development for 10,000 years, but now this protective shield has been destroyed, and those ancient enemies who have been eyeing the Earth have also begun to attack the Earth... Who are they... I can only say a lot. Who is the enemy... It could be anyone. What are the characteristics... Then you really make it difficult for me. The most important thing now is to maintain the order you maintain and persist until we repair the protective shield. Then everything will be fine!"
Kai briefly explained some inside information.
But he didn't say the real core things. Firstly, it was too troublesome. After all, there were many things he himself didn't quite understand.
Secondly, there is really no benefit in knowing too much about these things.
Especially since there were many irrelevant people at the scene. Some secrets are better left as secrets forever.
"After saying so much, I think you should understand the seriousness of the matter." Kai paused and said, "However, you should also be prepared. If things really get to a certain point, we may pull you over directly."
"pull over?"
Barry asked curiously.
He didn't understand what it meant.
"Do you know Kamar-Taj?" Kai asked.
Just as the words fell, a circular spark circle suddenly appeared inside the laboratory. Strange stuck his head out of the spark circle and threw a hanging ring directly to Barry: "Take this thing with you, don't lose it, I will collect it later."
After saying that, the spark circle disappeared.
Everyone just stood there in a daze.
"Mage! That was a mage just now, right?!!"
Iris screamed.
Mage is also a hot word on the Internet now.
"Yes, they are the mages of Kamar-Taj. They have been maintaining the protective shield mentioned earlier... They have been at the forefront of the fight against Earth's enemies for the past ten thousand years. This is why humans can spend these ten thousand years without worries."
Although Harrison was very interested in the wizard, he obviously had some opinions about what Kai said about being carefree: "Hey, we haven't been carefree for 10,000 years. You know, we have also experienced many disasters. Maybe they can show up and help us when we make mistakes."
Like Tony, he doesn't like to attribute his achievements to the protection of others.
That makes humans seem so incompetent.
"Professor Harrison, look at what is happening in the world right now. If it weren't for the wizards, this kind of thing would happen every moment in every corner of the world. Do you think the disasters that humans have experienced can really be called disasters? What's more, those enemies want much more than that. They want the Earth! And humans... are dispensable."
Here Kai must clear the name of Kamar-Taj.
Otherwise, other people’s efforts over the past ten thousand years would be in vain.
"Besides, isn't this exactly what it means to let humans develop freely? Suffering is human, and achievement is also human. Mages cannot interfere."
Kai's explanation made Harrison feel a little better, but he still felt uncomfortable.
But it doesn’t matter. People with strong self-esteem basically cannot accept such a setting. Fortunately, mages don’t care much about the opinions of ordinary people.
"Well, maybe they are that great."
Of course, other people think completely differently.
At least Iris was very excited. She wanted to snatch the hanging ring. After all, the mages were the hot topic now, and chasing hot topics was always the instinct of reporters.
But Snow grabbed her.
"This is what Kamar-Taj gave to Barry. Don't touch it."
"What does that matter?!" Iris was very unhappy with Snow's obstruction: "Anyway, I'm Barry's girlfriend!"
Barry was stunned for a moment: "Really?!!!"
Iris glanced at Barry coquettishly, "Stupid!"
As he said this, he reached out again to take the hanging ring.
But Barry immediately withdrew his hand... and his face became embarrassed: "I'm not stingy... it's just that person just reminded me..."
Iris suddenly felt unhappy.
She knew Barry wouldn't be stingy, but there were so many people, and she had just agreed to be his girlfriend.
Fortunately, Qiao stood up at this time: "Don't be willful, this thing is very important. It's best not to touch it."
Although Kai didn't know what was going on here, he still helped at the right time: "The Hanging Ring is one of the symbols of the Kamar-Taj wizards. It can mobilize magic. If someone without magical talent gets it, there will be some unpredictable consequences. Giving it to Barry just allows the wizards to locate Barry at any time. When needed, they can open a portal next to him and let him come directly to us. So it's best not to touch it. To prevent accidents."
Kai and his father's explanation made Iris calm down a little.
But it seems that her relationship with Barry still needs a lot of adjustment.
After all, Barry is no longer the weak little boy, but a superhero... A superhero never belongs to one person.
In many superhero comics, the lovers of superheroes are always miserable... either they break up or die. This is inevitable. After all, those who can become superheroes are generally not the kind of people who are willing to live a stable life. They always have an excessive sense of justice and will always help others consciously or unconsciously... If they don't have this sense of justice, they won't be superheroes.
Naturally, he is always missing to those around them.
Plus, superheroes always have troubles of one kind or another...If others can't take revenge on the superhero himself, can't they take revenge on the people around you?
Therefore, becoming the lover of a superhero is definitely an extremely dangerous endeavor.
At least Iris has no idea about this at the moment... This is also the reason why Harrison and others don't like her, she takes everything too lightly.
Kai could naturally feel that this girl seemed a little confused, but what to say?
It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. How could he, an outsider, say anything about Barry's personal love life... Not to mention him, even his own father probably wouldn't have the right to do so. So... respect other people's fate.
