I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 297 Carol: Is this magic? Are the Eastern gods so powerful?
In the deep space of the universe, Lin Hao stood on a white cloud, dressed casually and looking lazy.

Outside the distant planet Hala, the Kree army was on high alert. The moment Lin Hao appeared, all the warships received orders from the "Supreme Intelligence".

"Destroy him!"

In an instant, the Kree spaceships began to flash. Some of them remained in the orbit of Hala Star, some approached Lin Hao to form a hemisphere, and some dispersed their formation to guard Lin Hao's retreat from a distance.

The main guns of each ship were charged one after another. Spaceships as big as mountains shot out energy beams as thick as rivers, but their target was a life form as small as dust.

The energy beams emitted by the spacecraft on the hemisphere converge at one point, like rivers entering the sea, unstoppable.

From the moment Lin Hao appeared on the stage to the "Supreme Wisdom" giving the order, and then to the Kree army launching a fierce attack, the whole process took only a few seconds.

The Kree soldiers had no idea why the "Supreme Wisdom" would mobilize such a large force to deal with a mere Earthling, but the "Supreme Wisdom" was their belief and the truth that could never be wrong, so there was no need to understand, they just had to follow orders.

For millions of years, the Kree people have been accustomed to an easy life where they do not have to think independently and leave all problems to the "Supreme Wisdom".

Even with the continuous physiological adjustments, their brains have long lost the function of "independent thinking", and only the function of "responding after receiving instructions" has been strengthened.

If an intelligent creature does not use an organ for a long time, it will inevitably cause the corresponding organ to become sluggish or even atrophy, and the same is true for the brain.

But it cannot be denied that the Cree's social model of "giving up thinking and choosing only execution" has indeed reduced or even eliminated conflicts and struggles between populations, and greatly improved the operating efficiency of the entire civilization.

Since the emergence of the "Supreme Wisdom", the efficiently operating Kree civilization has embarked on the road to dominating the universe.

As an ordinary intelligent species without super powers, the Kree relied on this efficient operation mode to defeat the Skrulls who could copy memories, copy abilities, and disguise other species, and outlasted the gifted Eternal Titans. Even the Makrulls who could grant others the ability to make wishes and were involved in the law of causality could not challenge the dominance of the Kree civilization.

From this perspective, "Supreme Wisdom" has positive significance for the Cree people.

But when a civilization places all its hopes on one thing, it means that this civilization is very fragile. The reason it has been strong so far is only because it has never encountered setbacks. Once it encounters setbacks, the end of civilization will follow.

The Kree in the movie "Captain Marvel 2" are on the verge of extinction. The civilization that dominated the universe for millions of years had its "supreme wisdom" destroyed because of being beheaded. A mere thirty years melted away the accumulation of millions of years.

If a civilization wants to survive and keep moving forward, it is destined to need an indomitable quality and a never-give-up spiritual core.

“A nation prospers in times of adversity” is not just a self-deprecating cliché.

The Kree's actions also shocked the other forces that stayed in the nearby space to watch the fun. They did not expect that the Kree would withdraw their troops to defend their home planet just for a mere skinny Earthling.

However, the next scene shocked them even more and shook their three perspectives.

The earthling standing on the cloud slowly took out his right hand from his pocket and gently waved it towards the energy beam coming towards him.

Countless beams of light made a strange turn and returned along the same route, shooting towards the Kree spaceship at an even faster speed than before.

"protecting mask!"

Almost all the Kree commanders on board the spacecraft were roaring.

Fortunately, they are all professional soldiers who have experienced many years of war and have long formed a set of strict combat regulations. Before entering the battle, the spacecraft had already deployed the energy shield.

The main gun fired a full-force shot that turned around and shot at itself. The Kree spaceships participating in this wave of attack consumed a large amount of energy, and their protective shields flickered violently, looking shaky.

"How did you do it?"

Thanos, who was in "Temple II", saw this scene and frowned, unable to understand.

He did not sense any magical fluctuations or superpower reactions from Lin Hao, and the other party did not seem to have any special props on him. Even if he had a magic weapon, there should be energy fluctuations.

To put it bluntly, the "power of the gods" in the Marvel Universe is the application of some kind of energy, which cannot be hidden from him, a "man cursed by knowledge." Even Thanos can't understand it, let alone the other bystanders.

Carol on the small spaceship stared at the light screen in disbelief: "Could it be magic?"

Isn’t this nonsense!
During her years of wandering in the universe, she had visited the "Council of Gods" headquarters that had migrated from Earth. Carol had seen and "learned" from all the gods in the myths and legends of various countries on Earth.

No one can beat her.

In the so-called "Heaven" in Eastern mythology, all the gods put together are not enough to defeat her alone!
Lei Gong, Guan Gong, and Nan Ji Xian Weng were all defeated by her. Even the boss Jade Emperor was defeated by her and had to use the excuse of seclusion to retreat.

No god in "Heaven" can break Carol's "speed of light flight" alone.

When did the Eastern gods acquire this kind of "magic magic"?

It’s no wonder that she couldn’t understand, because the techniques used by Lin Hao were simply not a kind of rule power that the Marvel Universe could understand.

It is exactly the "Riding the Clouds and Mists" and "Returning the Wind and Fire" from the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques" hidden in the Shushan of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" world.

If it is a real universe, it must contain all rules, just as the saying goes "There are three thousand great ways", "three thousand" is an imaginary number, representing infinity.

But this is a universe created by Westerners, a universe full of arrogance and prejudice.

Not to mention that Marvel editors simply cannot understand Eastern culture. Even if there are a few "Runren" who have done in-depth research, it is impossible for them to add the essence of Eastern culture into the Marvel Universe. If they don't take the opportunity to smear it, they are considered to have a conscience.

The rules of the Marvel Universe do not originally include these "imported items", so how can people living in it understand things that do not exist?
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and the Seventy-Two Earthly Evil Techniques are magical techniques in the Taoist mythology system. They were mentioned in many classical strange stories and legends until the Qing Dynasty's "General Mirror of Gods and Immortals of All Dynasties" integrated them.

It includes both the great way of cultivation and the great art of life and death.

Although the gods in the world of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are weak, the Taoist classics of Shushan follow the rules of the Tao. After all, the Tao leads to the same destination, and people in the big world or the small world have the right to seek the Tao.

It’s just that people living in different worlds are restricted by their respective worlds. Even if you are given classics in the world of “Jue Tian Di Tong”, you will not be able to achieve results. In a world with weak spiritual power, the power of magical powers will inevitably be weakened.

Compared with the various sword-controlling methods of the Shushan School, Lin Hao is more interested in the Taoist classics that lead directly to the great way in Jiang Ming's memory.

However, the great way is elusive, and those who seek it must pursue it diligently.

Even Jiang Ming, the designated leader of Shushan, had only a vague understanding of these Taoist classics. Lin Hao, who had never been exposed to the real practice method, could only grope from scratch.

What’s more, everyone’s Tao is different, and everyone’s understanding of Tao is also different.

On the road to seeking the truth, we can only learn from other people’s understanding. Otherwise, we will fall into shackles and fail in our life.

After Lin Hao got the "Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques", the first thing he studied was the "Riding the Clouds and Mists" technique. There's no other reason for it, it's just that it's cool!
In this method, clouds and fog are only appearances; the essence is the understanding and control of space and speed. Just as the saying goes, "traveling to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening", what changes is the space and the time consumed by the whole process.

Every practitioner who pursues the great way is constrained by his past knowledge and the basic rules of the world he lives in.

Unless one's true spirit is annihilated, even if one reincarnates several times, on the day of enlightenment, all past events will become part of one's own foundation and become one's "true self".

Lin Hao cannot and does not need to reject the "past" he has experienced in the Marvel Universe. Everything in the past will become the nourishment for the evolution of his own path in the future.

Therefore, his "flying on the clouds" must be different from that in other worlds, carrying his existing understanding of the universe.

The same is true for "returning wind and returning fire", which is no longer limited to the two specific energy forms of "wind" and "fire".
