Kai was very depressed. Egypt and Little Overlord were nothing to Kai, not to mention now. Even in his previous life, Kai didn't care much about these two countries he had never been to. At most, he would stop and listen to the relevant news when watching short videos.
As for the rest, I still say the same thing. I don’t care.
Therefore, major external events have little impact on him, and in fact, Americans don’t care much about these two countries.
Don’t think that just because the Little Overlord has a good relationship with the United States, Americans will care about this country… This is a custom formed after World War II. After all, for decades, the United States has always been the focus of the international community. Anything that happens in the United States can cause heated international discussions. The president of the United States has even become a major carnival for the whole world to participate in!
Some people don’t even care about the election of their own country’s leaders, but they have a keen interest in the election of the US president. This makes every president the most famous superstar in the world!
It is unquestionable that the United States has such influence, and it is a practical need for everyone to care about domestic and international political and economic events. However, as far as Americans are concerned, they are more often concerned about domestic news, and sometimes they are not very willing to learn about domestic news. The declining number of foreign correspondents year after year also reflects this problem from the side. In addition to the election news, most American newspapers only care about things around them, and do not pay much attention to international and national news. As the world's number one superpower, it is not difficult to understand that more attention is focused on itself.
The most special thing about the United States compared to other countries is that many of its previous decisions were influenced by the shadow of the British Empire. In 1794, in order to cope with the threat of war from Britain at any time, the United States actively prepared for war while expanding. In order to avoid the boycott of Europe, it began to pursue an inward-looking isolationist policy. Against this background, the United States made every effort to build an internal market and completed the original accumulation of economy and capital by relying on regional economic competition. At the same time, the United States has a vast territory and fierce internal competition, so before the Civil War, the biggest goal of the United States was to establish a unified and stable domestic market. After the Civil War, the United States completely broke the social and economic system of opposition between the North and the South, and the millions of black slaves who were liberated not only gained personal freedom, but also provided a huge labor force and market for the development of the market economy. Since then, the US economy is no longer based on the opposition between the modern factory system characterized by wage labor in the North and the slave labor system in the South, but has truly become a unified whole.
It is precisely because of this historical reason that in the eyes of Americans, the development and maintenance of the domestic market economy is always the first priority. The strength of the United States does not rely on steel and concrete, but on technological innovation. Many of the most profitable companies in the United States earn more money than small countries, and the companies that make the most money are rich enough to rival a country, with net profits exceeding the GDP of many countries such as Tanzania and Iceland. The basis for achieving this is talent. The US population accounts for only 5% of the world's population, but it has nearly 45% of the world's productivity and 40% of technological products. Companies such as Apple, IBM, and Google are popular all over the world. At the same time, the US domestic market has also made great progress due to technology. As a commodity world, the characteristics of the US market can be reflected through commodities, which has also become one of the reasons why Americans only care about themselves and ignore the outside world.
The US market can be said to be the largest and most complex market in the world. The largest here refers to the consumer market, and its complexity lies in the fact that there are not only federal government laws and regulations, but also laws and regulations between states that are different. In order to adapt to internal needs, we have to focus enough energy on the domestic market so as not to run into legal trouble. As for how the external environment changes, we don't have enough energy to pay attention to it.
Other differences in the domestic market of the United States include product quality, sales season, advertising and after-sales service. Various requirements and restrictions force Americans to find ways to meet domestic market demand first. Since they attach importance to domestic market development, they have also implicitly put forward higher requirements for external trade from other countries to the United States. Precisely because its own market is large enough, the United States does not need to care about the external environment and changes, and naturally has little interest in international events and domestic news. Over time, everyone only cares about things around them.
Simply put, it is true that the United States is truly a God-given country.
Americans only have America in their eyes. In the eyes of Americans, apart from America, how many foreign countries can they name? Let alone foreign countries, they may not even know Canada... let alone the Little Bully. For most Americans, even if the Little Bully lost his country, it would not be a big deal for them. At most, they would sigh that their Muslim cousin is really good at fighting, and then that's it.
Although Kai and the Americans have different starting points for ignoring these two countries, the reasons are probably similar.
They can't affect the whole world, so why should Kai care about them?
What he was more concerned about was where Black Manta's grandson had gone?
After Kai came back, he tried various ways to find him, but all failed. He tried to ask the mutant Leslie (the autistic child protected by Psylocke, who has the ability to "look through" everything that has happened in the world and draw it) to find the trace of Black Manta.
As a result, Leslie suddenly went crazy and his autism became more serious.
Leslie was terrified, as if he had seen something terrible. In the end, it was Psylocke who brought a doctor to inject him with a sedative to make Leslie fall asleep.
Autism is a very troublesome disease. It makes it impossible for patients to express themselves. It is like being surrounded by an invisible wall. They cannot guess other people's thoughts and actions. They cannot act or disguise themselves in life.
So what happened to Leslie? Leslie couldn't tell them, and they had no way of knowing.
It only goes to show that what Leslie saw was something he himself could not bear.
Kai could only attribute it to the effect of the Dark Trident.
However, Psylocke was very angry about this. She warned Kai not to harass Leslie with such things again.
Kai was speechless and had nothing to say about this.
I was speechless because Psylocke's attitude had really changed a lot. In the past, Psylocke had always been happy to see Kai ask Leslie for help in order to get Kai to protect her. Even the relationship between them was formed because of Leslie.
Sadly, things are no longer the same.
Psylocke is a mutant, and she has a small mutant gang under her command. They are struggling to survive in society. They hide their identities while trying to make their lives better. Due to their special identities, they can't do many things and can only play marginal games. In the end, they don't know how they broke into the entertainment industry.
In order to get some resources and Kai's protection for them.
Psylocke can be said to grant Kai's every request.
But now it’s different. Although people don’t look up to your identity as a mutant, you are not afraid of being known. After all, the whole society’s view on mutants is changing, especially in big cities. The acceptance of mutants is very high. As long as you don’t do bad things, everyone will treat you normally.
In this way, the living conditions of Psylocke and her mutants were greatly improved.
You know, even if they do nothing and just stay at home, they still have an income of more than 70,000 US dollars a year... the kind that does not need to pay taxes? If they are willing to go out to work, many companies are happy to hire them, because they are like disabled people, and companies can have a certain amount of tax exemption when hiring them.
They have no pressure to survive. If they are discriminated against, they can even call the police and file a lawsuit!
Just like black people and address books before.
Although the trend of political correctness has subsided, the previous legislation is not so easy to cancel.
In short, the pressure of survival is gone. Although Psylocke can no longer ignore Kai, she does not need to please him as much as before.
Leslie is her younger brother and she has always taken care of him. If it was an ordinary matter, she would not stop Kai. But now Leslie was frightened, and it was obviously not an ordinary matter, so Psylocke did not need to give Kai face.
Kai really doesn't know what to say.
After all, others are right!
Kai is the most reasonable person. When Psylocke gets mad at him when he is being unreasonable, he really can't say anything.
Afterwards, Kai found Ancient One again.
In the end, Gu Yi also told him that there was nothing she could do.
The reason why a divine weapon is a divine weapon is that it cannot be controlled by mortals!
Otherwise, the Ancient One would not have left the Dark Trident lying in the ancient ruins for so many years. The Ancient One and Kamar-Taj really didn't know how many artifacts were left on Earth. Anyway, they recovered the artifacts that could be found and placed them in the Sanctuary of the Three and Kamar-Taj. The ones that could not be recovered were basically beyond their control... They didn't even know whether they existed, let alone their location.
So Kamar-Taj has no way to find the Dark Trident.
And because these artifacts were originally created on Earth, even the Great Guardians could not detect them, unless those artifacts really did something earth-shattering.
But at that time, there would be no need for the Great Guardian to notice.
……
While Kai was still looking for someone, the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had not appeared for a long time, ran into trouble.
In fact, it was Star-Lord who met his father.
At the beginning, Star-Lord was very pretentious and was unhappy with his father, saying that he had abandoned his mother. His father said earnestly, "No, I didn't mean to abandon your mother, but I can't leave my planet too far. If I leave too far, I will gradually become weaker and die."
So I had no choice but to go back.
But later I sent someone to pick you and your mother up, but unexpectedly, something went wrong. First, your mother fell ill and died, and then the middleman I found changed his mind and kidnapped you. I have been tracking the traces of the kidnappers all these years just to find you.
His friends also persuaded Star-Lord that his father also had his reasons. The bad guys are all Yondu!
Yondu is Star-Lord's father... Well, at least that's what Star-Lord thinks. Although he blames Yondu for bringing him from his mother and hometown to the universe, at least Yondu allowed him to grow up safely and trained him to have a lot of skills. Deep down in his heart, he still recognizes Yondu.
Although the two had various conflicts as they grew up, Star-Lord always felt that it was a unique way for them to get along with each other.
Yondu Udonta was originally a native of Centaur outside the solar system, a blue-skinned poacher. After the Bedoun people destroyed the entire planet, he drifted into the universe and became a plunderer.
Plunderers are considered the most filthy group of people in the universe. They can be bounty hunters, stowaways, human traffickers, pirates, smugglers, or any other kind of person. They are considered to be the marginalized people in the universe.
Most predators are bad guys... well, all of them.
Yondu became the leader of a group of raiders.
But Yondu never interacted with other predators. Star-Lord naturally never thought about this problem before, but after being in the universe for so long, Star-Lord has actually noticed it. Predators are a group of unruly bastards. They do not belong to any organization or political system, but they have their own culture, their own standards, and even their own alliances and a series of norms.
But there are very few laws that actually need to be obeyed.
One of them is that predators never kidnap or traffic minors!
Anyone who violates this iron rule will be despised and rejected by all predators. They will not be recognized as predators, nor will they be able to enjoy a predator's funeral after death!
This is why Yondu never interacts with the plunderers, because the plunderers do not recognize Yondu and are not willing to interact with this oathbreaker.
He is the stain!
Star-Lord is not stupid, just combine them.
He will be able to figure it out...the kidnapped child is him!
Thinking of this, he understood everything...so in the end Star-Lord and his father returned to his father's planet.
I only found out after I got back!
My father is not an ordinary person either!
His father is the legendary god! He also discovered that his father has an even more terrifying purpose!
Ego claims to be a Celestial who has lived for millions of years. Ego is very smart and very powerful. He learned how to manipulate molecules and used this ability to build himself a celestial armor (disguising himself as a planet). Ego explored the universe out of loneliness, trying to find intelligent life other than himself. In the end, he achieved this goal, but was disappointed with the intelligent life he found, believing that these inferior creatures were not worthy of coexisting with him in a unified world.
Since then, Ego has traveled the galaxy for many years, planting seeds on alien planets to expand his territory, hoping to expand all existence that he controls as a living planet (or to create others like him, because he says he doesn't have to be alone anymore).
In order to increase the efficiency of expansion, he tried to create offspring similar to himself, so Ego had children with other species on many planets, including Star-Lord, who was also his biological son. He also raised Mantis on his planet because Mantis's ability allowed him to sleep. Many years ago, he hired Yondu to go to various planets to hand over his children to him to see if they could help his galaxy expansion plan, but because they did not have the Celestial abilities he required, they were all killed. Star-Lord was the first and last child to inherit the Celestial gene. Yondu later discovered Ego's true identity, so when he took the young Peter Quill (Star-Lord) away from Earth, he decided not to give him to Ego, but to keep him in the Marauders to raise him.
