I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 50 Eternal City

Some people believe that the elves may be related to an ancient race called the Eternals, one of whose more famous members is called the Titans. The Titans are considered one of the earliest civilizations in the world, and even the establishment of the Eternal City is considered to be their legacy. Although they did not leave detailed written records, astronomers have learned through bits of information and reasoning that these Eternal Titans were the founders of world civilization.

They are the seed sowers of civilization. Almost all known civilizations, especially those recorded in the Eternal City, are related to the Titans. No matter how subtle or inconspicuous this connection is. Some scholars firmly believe that the Titan civilization is the ancestor of existing civilizations. Only in this way can it explain why most known civilizations have similar biological forms, such as walking upright and having similar brains. It is surprising that many creatures have human-like characteristics. A possible explanation is that most known civilizations were actually created by more advanced civilizations, just like the Titans, according to their own templates.

There is a group of scholars who hold this view. They generally believe that the Titans are closely related to the ancient extinct gods in legends, and that the Titans may be the direct descendants of these gods.

Regarding the origin of elves and dark elves, many people do not believe that they were created by the Titan civilization. Some even speculate that elves may have been directly bred by some kind of power of the Titans, and are the product of power rather than simple life. However, this speculation has been questioned because no one has ever seen the true face of the Titans. The differences between elves and dark elves originate from their differences in self-beliefs and the origins of their birth.

The elves claimed that they were transformed from the World Tree and were born to protect the World Tree. However, the dark elves disagreed. They tended to believe that they were derived from the power of the Titans. Due to different understandings of self-worth and beliefs, the two sides gradually became estranged.

The dark elves intend to look for the Titans, their former masters, but the elves disagree, because there are signs that the Titan civilization has disappeared in the universe, and the Eternals may have perished. According to limited information, the Titans love peace and do not even understand the meaning of killing. They have the power of creation and destruction, but prefer to live in peace. If the Titans do not want to be found, then no one can find them.

Therefore, the elves thought the dark elves' ideas were stupid. When the differences in beliefs and values ​​could not be bridged and became larger and larger, the elves split. The dark elves left the elven kingdom and embarked on a journey to find the Titans. They were convinced that they could find the answer. The hidden dangers of this split eventually led to a war between the two tribes... The above content is excerpted from "The Past of the Elves - Origins and Differences".

Li Jie's eyes almost dazzled when he read this text. This was the little book that Luo Ji gave him before he left. It was worn out, many pages were missing, and there were traces of fire. Luo Ji said that there were many stories about dark elves in it. So, Li Jie took the time to read this book in the intervals between patrols to track down dark elf spies.

The content of the book was too profound, and many of the things mentioned were unfamiliar to Li Jie. He had to read other documents mentioned in the book to understand. The only part he could understand was the reason for the division of the elves, which involved differences in beliefs and values, and issues of self-identity. This kind of disagreement was the most difficult to reconcile, because the difference in values ​​led to the elves and the dark elves dealing with affairs in completely opposite ways.

Compared to the inexplicable and illogical actions of the dark elves in the movie Thor in my previous life, many things now have reasonable explanations, and the war between the dark elves and the elves also has an understandable background. Is this what humans call a "battle for survival"?

With the outbreak of the war and the continued absence of any trace of the Titans, the dark elves' view of self-worth and faith has become increasingly dim, so have they become increasingly distorted, until now they have only the idea of ​​destruction? Li Jie did not dare to jump to conclusions because he had too little information.

However, he only needed to know the general situation of the dispute between the dark elves and the elves, and did not need to know it in depth. After all, he was not an elf, and he had to solve the problems of humans and the earth! As the patrol team of Asgard and the dark elves moved forward for about two days, they finally found a place where the dark elf scouts stayed...

Li Jie held a long sword made by the dwarves, and the thunder sword was also ready at any time. He had to understand the capabilities of ordinary dark elf warriors before deciding how to lead them to the earth.

For Li Jie, fighting or accumulating reputation in exchange for skills or technology blueprints are essentially external tools. He never thought about sweeping the Marvel Universe or pursuing invincible power. He intuitively knew that this might bring serious consequences.

For example, in Past Lives and Present Lives, there is a well-known online novel website in China across the ocean, where the protagonists always go against the will of heaven, as if heaven owes them something. Li Jie never understood what heaven owed them.

Characters in novels often practice for decades or even hundreds of years to become extremely powerful beings who live as long as the heavens and the earth. But Li Jie didn't understand what the meaning of such pursuit was? Well, you became stronger, very strong, invincible in the world! Then what? What did you gain?

You are invincible, so what have you contributed to the world? After careful consideration, it seems that you have contributed nothing. In the process of pursuing supreme power, what is lost, no one can clearly say.

When a person gives up emotions for power, is he still a person? A so-called strong man lives for a thousand years but has no friends. Is such a life valuable?

In this world, even gods like Odin have friends and family. The strongest human on earth, the Ancient One, also has a social circle. They are never isolated groups, and they will not practice for hundreds of years without caring about the world.

Their lives are completely dedicated to the great cause of cultivation, but such cultivation has no purpose, and they become stronger for some unknown reason. Is it to bully the weak in the future? Or when fighting for treasure, if someone looks at you, you will kill the whole family? Li Jie scoffed at this concept.

Odin's strength comes from his belief in Asgard. It is his responsibility to protect Asgard, so he becomes stronger for this goal. And the Ancient One becomes stronger because he wants to protect his hometown Earth, which he has been protecting for more than 500 years.

For them, power is just power, and strength is only a means to achieve their goals, a prerequisite. They become stronger to change the world, not to change the world in order to become stronger. Many people cannot understand this cause and effect relationship. Why can Li Jie unite various forces and influence others?

Because he embodies this spirit, many bigwigs subconsciously agree with Li Jie's core philosophy. No one, whether Li Jie or the people he knows, has ever become stronger simply for the sake of becoming stronger.

Tony Stark's Iron Armor has been constantly improving. Long before Li Jie came to Asgard, he heard that Tony's nano-metal transformation armor was close to success. Tony did not do this to show off his strength. For people like him, leaving something for the world is far more important than taking something from the world.

Ancient One never thought about immortality, nor did Odin, nor did Jizo. At present, Li Jie only knew that Dormammu longed for immortality, but was he still a human? Dormammu constantly plundered from various worlds, just to live for the sake of living. It was difficult for Li Jie to understand the meaning of such a long life.

Is this the ultimate life form that the strong pursue in the novel? If so, Li Jie would rather live only to 60 years old. The quality of life is far more valuable and meaningful than its length. Would you rather live a year like 365 identical days, or repeat a day 365 times? In Li Jie's opinion, most of those who practice and fight all day are the latter.

What these people have experienced in their 6,000 years may not be as much as what Li Jie has experienced in his 60 years. Li Jie is a person with clear goals and self-planning. For him, strength is a ladder, and being invincible or not is not important. He has no intention of competing for the first place in the universe. As long as he is strong enough to accomplish what he wants to do, it is enough.

Do you control power, or does power control you? Li Jie gave his answer. He accumulated a lot of reputation points, but did not immediately improve himself, because in Li Jie's view, this was not the most important thing.

What he has to do is more important than improving his personal abilities, such as bringing in the Dark Elves and preparing for the future battle against the Chitauri.

Li Jie has his plan. Once he holds the Thunder Blade tightly, his strength will be able to leap to B+ level, and then he will be able to unlock many items in the system mall. Especially in the field of technology, he has seen many amazing and even terrifying things, such as the unupgraded [Yamato-class space battleship], the primary technology [Viking multi-purpose interceptor], etc., and the reputation required to unlock them is astronomical.

He had hinted to Tony that he wanted to form the first real space fleet in human history! He wanted to launch an interstellar war in the sea of ​​stars, instead of making the Earth a bet for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of lives. As he often said, he wanted to strike the Chitauri hard once and for all, to make them understand that even if they could destroy human civilization, the price would be something they could not afford. Only in this way could the Earth attract the attention of other cosmic civilizations. At present, this huge plan has just taken the first step.

Loki and Thor are crucial to this plan. Now that Loki has signed an agreement with him, Li Jie can say that the hardest part has been completed. As for Thor, it is the next step of the plan. Although Li Jie is reluctant to admit that some of his actions towards Thor may be too harsh, he knows how important Thor is to the plan. It is indeed unethical to let Thor leave Asgard.

Li Jie didn't think of any excuses to explain. Even if he was beaten up by Thor who knew about it, he was ready. As long as Thor didn't try to kill him again, everything would be solved.

Because Li Jie will create an era for Thor, let the name of Thor resound throughout the universe, and achieve Thor's eternal glory. This is not compensation or a transaction, it's just what Li Jie wants to do.

Just like the results in front of Li Jie at this moment, the encirclement and suppression of the dark elf scouts went smoothly, and he also roughly understood the strength of the dark elf soldiers. In terms of physical fitness alone, a dark elf is equivalent to Captain America, and an elite soldier is equivalent to two or three captains.

The elite soldiers at the top, the Doom Slayer, were too powerful if measured by the captain. Li Jie made appropriate adjustments on his notebook, which depicted the image of the dark elves. Each dark elf head was marked with an equal sign and a shield behind it, representing Captain America. The stronger dark elves were marked with two shields. Li Jie had fought with the captain many times and knew his physical limits.

The captain ran at full speed at about 60 kilometers per hour, and his maximum strength was slightly less than one ton, but this was only a physical comparison. If the captain really fought against the dark elves, the result would be unpredictable, as there were too many factors to consider in the battle.

Li Jie, the Doom Slayer, did not encounter him this time, but only heard about him from the patrol members. He estimated for the time being and marked the Doom Slayer as six shields with a question mark at the end. He did not intend to introduce the Doom Slayer to the Earth, that would be too stupid, and he had no intention of destroying the Earth.

"The war has become much easier since Loki became the leader." After the battle, the Asgardian warriors in the patrol chatted with the elf warriors.

Li Jie recorded the battle situation while listening to their conversation. (Loki cast a translation magic so that he could understand Asgardian and Elvish.)

"That's right, every action has its rewards. Especially in large-scale battles, Loki's command is excellent. After receiving the battle report, the Queen believes that Loki will become the most outstanding commander in the history of Asgard." The elf archer agreed with the Asgard warrior's point of view.

"Yeah, he is different from Thor. It's hard to say who is better, but if I were to choose, I would probably follow Loki." Li Jie smiled silently when he heard this.

Loki is gradually gaining control of the hearts of Asgard's grassroots soldiers.

At this moment, Luo Ji, who was in the central army tent, didn't know what was happening with Li Jie. She had more important things to do. Just like she had done many times before, she quietly left the palace wearing the Feihong boots given by the Elf Queen and disappeared without a trace.

The Elven Kingdom is not adjacent to the current residence of the Dark Elves. On the contrary, the Dark Elves who rebelled against the Elven Kingdom live far away from the Elven Kingdom. Similarly, the Frost Giants live several cosmic dimensions away from Asgard. But for these two races, distance is not a big problem...
