Since the dawn of the new century, humans have become the most powerful creatures on Earth.
Therefore, they have increasingly focused their attention, their competition, on each other.
But with the arrival of aliens and the start of wars with outer space and new species, everything has changed.
Faced with such changes, people have different feelings.
Some easily imagine themselves in the worlds of fantasy works; they even feel excited, because the unchanging reality they were tired of finally underwent a tremendous change. They crave excitement, crave difference, and want to witness the development of a new era in their lifetime, even having the opportunity to break through the limitations of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Others fall into great panic, believing that humans are no match for aliens and that their peaceful lives will face a crisis.
But in any case, the old order has been broken.
This is a new era.
And Chaldea controlled the initiative of the new era.
"Fury, I need the armies of all countries to unite." After Shen He ended the live broadcast, he directly connected the call with Fury. "Tell the World Security Council that this is just the beginning. The enemy has already set its sights on Earth. I will not allow any force, or anyone, to put Earth in crisis—that includes those who drag their feet."
Shen He was now completely confident in saying this.
Because the facts were already before their eyes.
If Chaldea were to let go, the World Security Council would be completely powerless to deal with the army outside the Wormhole.
Even if Hydra were in power, they would have to choose to compromise under such circumstances.
"You should know this is difficult." Fury's voice was rather low. "And what counts as dragging your feet?"
He didn't ask the World Security Council, nor was there any need to ask.
Because the World Security Council members had been silent since the people from Chaldea headquarters arrived.
Faced with overwhelming power, their choices were very limited.
After all, those in power must be vigilant about brutality while also remaining rational and calm. There's nothing that can't be calculated with benefits. Relying on Chaldea to solve the aliens first is the biggest benefit right now.
"Whether it's difficult or not, you only know after you try," Shen He turned to look behind him. "And I'll introduce you to a new ally."
"Ally?" Fury was slightly stunned.
But Shen He had already hung up the call and walked towards the few people standing on the aircraft carrier deck.
They were the Inhumans' King from Attilan.
—Black Bolt.
"My dear friend." Black Bolt gestured. "Why didn't you let us help just now?"
The moment the aliens appeared, he, on behalf of the Kingdom of Attilan, had requested Shen He's permission to help. But Shen He told him to wait, only allowing Crystal, who was a Guardian, to help escort people.
"Blackagar Boltagon, if we can't hold on, you won't be able to play a decisive role either," Shen He said with a helpless expression. "You may have various abilities, but your army isn't strong, is it? Your brother's desire to conquer Earth is just wishful thinking, because throughout Attilan, the only strong one is you – Black Bolt."
Although the tone wasn't very polite, given his relationship with the other party, he could speak like this.
This was also a fact that even the people around Black Bolt couldn't refute. Their abilities were indeed not very helpful in the face of such a war.
Moreover, in the first battle just now, Shen He needed to confirm Chaldea's leading position in front of the whole world, rather than letting the Inhumans steal the spotlight.
"We are also happy to help, even with small things." Black Bolt gestured.
He wasn't stupid; this was an opportunity for Attilan to take advantage of the situation and return to Earth, because humans would need their power.
Actually, if it wasn't Shen He who told Black Bolt not to come, he would have directly led the Inhumans into battle. This was the opportunity they had been waiting for.
"Don't be too impatient, Blackagar Boltagon."
Shen He smiled, turning with them to walk toward the cabin, and said as he walked,
"I will definitely do what I promised you. Did you hear my speech just now? I told all the humans in the world that we need to unite, so I can introduce your identities and your history to the world and bring you into this defensive battle, allowing you to stand on the same front as humanity, but, is Attilan internally prepared?"
As Shen He knew, within Attilan, there should be quite a few people like Black Bolt's younger brother, who were arrogant and looked down on Earth.
This was also one of the reasons why he didn't let the Inhumans join the battle right away; that would just be a forced contribution.
True peace between races cannot be achieved just because a king wishes it.
"Of course, we have always been preparing for this day."
Black Bolt was a little excited, but his subsequent gestures also showed a hint of hesitation.
"It's just... will humans accept us?"
If they hadn't shown their stance during the war and simply appeared like this, it would be easy to be viewed with suspicion.
Especially since their history showed that they were the remnants of aliens left on Earth, which was even worse.
"That depends on you to prove it," Shen He patted Black Bolt on the shoulder. "You also know that, not long ago, even Chaldea was questioned and ostracized. But now, those questioning voices have instead deepened our relationship with this world... Black Bolt, you are the Silent King, but your actions, your will, should not be silent."
Even Shen He wasn't entirely confident that the Inhumans could integrate into Earth.
After all, a race couldn't be compared to Chaldea; they would have different voices.
But in the process of questioning, these voices, these contradictions, would actually have a very good point of ignition. After getting through it, that would be the true future.
"Understood," Black Bolt signed.
Having thought it through, he was even more grateful to Shen He. He had watched firsthand how Chaldea, as an outsider, had gradually earned the trust and even respect of people on Earth.
Besides action, it was about making their voices heard.
This battle had temporarily ceased. An army of over a hundred thousand occupied the scarred area of Manhattan. They cleaned up the battlefield and collected spoils. Meanwhile, the world gradually became active again.
Survivors voiced their feelings on television, expressing their fear of death, their gratitude for being rescued, and the pain of losing loved ones.
Military representatives and representatives from various countries also gave speeches in the media. They wanted to instill confidence in people regarding the war. They used various resolute tones to tell everyone that humanity would surely win, and that no invader could destroy the continuation and will of human civilization.
They also hinted, without exception, at the possibility of a global alliance.
Tony and Steve also accepted media interviews, detailing more about the war. Steve praised the orderliness of the evacuation, while Tony joked that his battered armor would become the most precious collectible, a family heirloom to be passed down in the Stark Family to his son.
Then, the playboy was naturally asked about gossip, bringing a little joy to the heavy-hearted.
There were also the voices of celebrities, the voices of corporations, the voices of all sectors of society...
All of this was constantly filling people's impressions of the war, making this dreamlike present situation more real, and gradually changing people's perceptions of a completely different world.
It turned out that no matter how unbelievable the facts were, nothing was unacceptable when presented before their eyes.
Then, even more unbelievable facts occurred.
Three days after the war began, astronomers from various countries, even some amateur astronomy enthusiasts, discovered an unbelievable small dot on the front of the moon.
It seemed to be a city.
But before this news could spread widely among the people, the virtual reality company's official website issued another announcement.
"The Inhuman Kingdom - Attilan."
The announcement didn't reveal the truth about the Inhumans' birth, only stating that they were a special race with special abilities that appeared in ancient times. Because they were once feared and persecuted by humans, they migrated to the moon, built their own kingdom, and concealed their existence from humanity.
The entire world was in an uproar.
Even though they already knew about Asgard's existence, they never imagined that there was another "alien kingdom" on their moon.
The moon had always been considered by humanity as the most likely place for immigration, and moon bases could be seen in various fantasy works.
Even countries around the world were secretly competing to explore and develop the moon.
And now, a kingdom already existed on the moon.
Even the countries that had accepted the alien invasion couldn't immediately figure out how to approach this kind of kingdom.
More importantly, the announcement didn't explain the relationship between Chaldea and Attilan in detail, nor did it even introduce Attilan thoroughly.
At the end of the announcement, there was a link.
Curious people clicked on it and found it was a social media personal account.
The account name was:
Black Bolt.
This was a new account created only yesterday, but it had already been officially verified, marked as "King of Attilan." The account had only one video posted ten minutes ago.
People clicked on it.
Wearing a black suit, a handsome man with the appearance of a gentleman appeared before everyone, sitting on the throne in the hall.
There was also a beautiful lady in a red dress.
Black Bolt began to make gestures, and Medusa spoke.
"Hello everyone, I am Blackagar Boltagon, the King of Attilan, and this is my Queen, Medusa. Due to some reasons, I cannot speak, but the Queen will act as my voice to introduce my kingdom to everyone."
Was this real or fake?
This was the first question in the minds of most people.
The link was sent by the Virtual Reality company and had official notes, so it seemed to be real.
Were they really on the moon? Were these the King and Queen?
All the questions were answered in the video. This was a suggestion made by Black Bolt to Shen He. He felt that he should personally introduce Attilan, the Inhumans, and his kingdom to the world.
The video was a full half-hour long.
Black Bolt and Medusa led people out of the palace. They saw an architectural style completely different from any city on Earth. They saw humans with all kinds of abilities and technologies they had never seen before. Wherever the two of them went in the video, they were greeted with respectful bows.
It wasn't until people followed the video to the edge of the city, saw the desolate wasteland outside the protective barrier, and the huge blue planet in the sky that they finally believed it.
This was a real kingdom, built on the moon.
"We can see Earth from here every day, just like you see the moon," Black Bolt stood on the outer wall, tilting his head and gesturing. "We know that place is our homeland, and we also know that the people there are unwilling to accept us. My father, my grandfather, the kings of Attilan for generations, all dreamed of returning to Earth."
It had to be said, Black Bolt, at his age, was at his most charming.
With warm eyes, lonely gestures, and the status of a king, he easily captured a group of female fans.
Adding to that, Medusa's gentle voice.
People had already formed an impression of Attilan and the Inhumans in their minds, even able to automatically imagine their helplessness when they were persecuted by ignorant ancients, having to leave their homeland.
"Just a few months ago, a rebellion occurred in Attilan." Black Bolt retracted his gaze and looked back at the camera. "My brother could no longer bear the loneliness on the moon. He hoped to use force to bring the people back to Earth, but I believe this went against the will of our ancestors and the wishes of the Inhumans. Before I could react, the conflict had already become irreconcilable."
When saying this, Black Bolt's expression was filled with undisguised pain.
The rebellion and death of his last blood relative brought him a sorrow that he still found difficult to forget.
Medusa gently embraced the king's back, her red hair floating up to caress his chest.
The two of them displayed their affection in front of the whole world.
People on Earth also began to discuss.
"Every kingdom has a younger brother who's the bad guy."
"It's hard to imagine, if the king's younger brother had succeeded, would we have encountered another alien invasion before Loki?"
"The rebellion was obviously stopped, but the king is so pitiful."
"Attilan shouldn't be as powerful as Asgard."
"Is it just me who cares how the rebellion was stopped..."
Having experienced the events of Asgard and Loki, people's acceptance of this kind of alien king was clearly different. What truly shocked them was that Attilan was so close, on the Moon, and that their homeland was actually Earth.
Black Bolt made hand gestures again after being sad for a moment.
"During the most critical moment of the rebellion, we met Chaldea. They helped us stop the revolt, saved Attilan, and listened to our requests." Medusa's translation became more forceful with Black Bolt's gestures. "Chaldea will forever be Attilan's most honored friends. They consider us part of Earth and believe that I can lead the Inhumans to achieve the dream that our ancestors could not—to coexist peacefully with humanity."
"Therefore, at this moment when Earth faces a crisis, I, as the King of Attilan, declare that Attilan is willing to join the fight to defend Earth."
"Earth is also our home, a place we love and yearn for."
"We cannot and will not allow it to be destroyed."
The entire video concluded with Black Bolt's sharp, resolute gaze and impactful actions.
