I work as an editor at Marvel.

The original Alien Queen had already begun the selection process internally before the entire internal war even started.

The army she controlled numbered only 100,000, and with ample food supplies, she could select a batch every few days.

If the Hatchery Queen's forces underwent a massive selection process and emerged victorious, then the Former Queen's forces underwent dozens of smaller selection processes.

Moreover, when the food supply became insufficient, the former queen decisively abandoned the incubator and spontaneously entered a state of desperate struggle.

In this war that lasted for nearly half a month, the original empress never appeared. The army was maintained by elimination once again. Those who starved to death due to lack of energy were eaten by the survivors, and only when only one alien force remained.

Now she only has about 40,000 troops left, and only one chance to launch an attack. If she fails to break through the battlefield on her first attempt, the aliens that gather there will completely overwhelm her.

The battlefield paused for two seconds, then a deafening roar erupted as the former empress's army, arranged in an arrowhead formation, plunged directly into the battlefield before them.

The blood-red rain began to fall again. This time, the vanguard broke through half the distance before being pinned down by the ever-charging aliens.

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, two crescent moons burning with flames appeared in the center of the battlefield.

The two crescent moons, one on the left and one on the right, cleared out a patch of aliens, even turning their hardest shells to ashes.

The incubator set its sights on the former queen. Her oviposition organs began to detach, but because they were so large, the detachment took much longer than normal.

With a series of thuds, the former empress began to run, her four hands transforming into sharp weapons, from which the two crescent moons emanated.

The soldiers behind the queen also ran alongside her, blocking the aliens blocking her from both sides.

And so, the former empress slashed left and right, cutting through the battlefield. By the time she reached the incubator, her limbs were severely mutilated, and many pieces of her carapace had shattered, revealing her crimson flesh beneath.

Although it's turned out this badly, the outcome is already decided.

There was no nonsense, no pleading, no arrogance, not even a shout.

In a flash of light, the incubator was cut into five pieces by the original queen. When the incubator lost, its ovipositor had not yet completely detached.

With a soft thud, a proboscis pierced through the former queen's mouth and into the incubator's body. The loser has nothing, the winner gains everything!

As the energy increased, the Queen's shell softened, and all the memories sealed in the cabin in the woods resurfaced.

The empress began to alter her body to resemble the strongest person in her memory.

The top two of the four arms detached and transformed into sharp weapons that fell to the ground. The tentacles and whip-like hairs were moved to the head and became living hair that could twist and turn freely in the air.

The carapace slowly moved, transforming into a full-body armor, and the compound eyes began to merge, shrinking into double pupils that entered the eye sockets.

Having completed her final evolution, the Alien Queen drew her twin blades and raised them towards the sky.

"I am the Xenomorph! I am the only Xenomorph Queen!"

This is the strongest being in the history of the alien race, a sub-legend created by cultivating Gu with 300 million people - the Alien Queen!

Chapter 284 He was NTR'd just like that?!

The emergence of the Alien Queen piqued Thanos's interest.

Legendary level beings are a rare resource throughout the universe. Although Thanos killed over a hundred legendary beings, that was accumulated little by little over a long period of time.

Otherwise, Thanos wouldn't still be searching for another legend to fill the Ebony Maw pit. There are only four Black Order members. I've only ever heard of the Four Heavenly Kings having five members; this is the first time I've seen a Black Order with only four members.

So even though the Alien Queen is only a sub-legendary, she can still be considered a high-end fighter. If Thanos could exchange 300 million lives for a sub-legendary, it would still be a very worthwhile deal. After all, reducing the population is the same no matter how much people are killed, and it can also increase his own strength, so why not?

Having completed her evolution, the Alien Queen commanded her army to advance towards the Hell Rift that Mephisto had placed on the planet.

The fully enlightened Alien Queen knew that there was no place for her race in this universe. Now that she was leaving the planet with her race, even if the distant space fleets didn't care, the cabin in the woods would no longer let her go. She only had one path to take: to the Hell Dimension and obtain the same identity as the Eight Great Demons.

In Hell, Mephisto was already extremely annoyed by the eight demons. It was like having a mosquito buzzing around you while you were sleeping, not sucking your blood or getting any closer, just buzzing away. Ordinary people could only put up with it, but if Mephisto really got angry, he would probably blow up the whole house.

So for the latter half of the trip, Ximu was on edge, ready to retreat as quickly as possible, since the prerequisite for going to Earth for fun was to survive first.

Just then, the space of Hell rippled, and a sharp blade pierced through the space. The tip of the blade spun and slashed out in all directions, forming a cross mark in the air.

Mephisto looked over there. The person who entered Hell this time had the scent of his magic on him, and judging from how thin the space was, he guessed that this person had come from a gap in Hell.

With a tearing sound, the four sides of the cross were violently ripped open, revealing a passage from the material world to hell.

Mephisto waited curiously for the other party to enter. The amount of energy released on the Chitauri planet should not be enough to cultivate someone capable of breaking through dimensional barriers.

Could it be that we've encountered a legendary genius who single-handedly withstood the aura of hell to reach this point? That would be quite rare indeed.

The next second, an army of all types of aliens filed in, and after she became the only alien queen, all the aliens were now under her control.

The aliens that entered were also encountering the consciousness of hell for the first time, and were beginning to be marked by this consciousness as belonging to hell.

Fortunately, everyone had acquired some resistance to hell before they arrived; otherwise, the Alien Queen's army would have suffered heavy casualties.

As more and more alien creatures emerged from the space, Mephisto sensed something was wrong. Where were their souls? These wretched things didn't even have complete souls! They couldn't possibly have been hatched by his magic!

As the thought flashed through his mind, Mephisto slowly raised his right hand, and at the same time, a giant hand condensed above the Alien Queen's head, reaching straight towards her.

With a whoosh, the Bagua Formation appeared directly beneath his palm, withstanding Mephisto's attack. The formation opened and closed simultaneously, drawing the Alien Queen and all the aliens who had successfully adapted to the hellish environment into the Bagua Formation.

As the strength of the eight demons gradually recovers, the Bagua formation they form also gains more power and greater strength.

The Alien Queen offered no resistance; her intuition told her what the right choice was.

After receiving the reinforcements, Ximu spread his wings within the Bagua Formation, and the sky outside changed drastically, with strong winds rising and sandstorms obscuring the sun.

At this moment, Ximu's speed increased to the maximum, and he began to fly rapidly in one direction. If he stayed in place, Mephisto would have to eat the demon!

After the mosquitoes flew away, Mephisto walked to the front of the passage with a gloomy face. The aliens were still coming from the other side. They were unaware that they had become expendable pawns and were still entering one by one according to the original order, because the control fluctuations of the Alien Queen were intercepted by the super-fast speed and the Bagua formation.

With a downward press of his palm, the remaining aliens were all pulverized into mud. Mephisto grabbed the two sides of the passage and pulled hard, forcibly widening the passage several times over before stepping inside.

The oppression imposed by the material world immediately descended upon Mephisto.

Sensing the empty planet, Mephisto clenched his fist, opened his mouth and inhaled sharply, taking in all the remaining souls on the planet, though the quantity and quality were ridiculously poor.

How to put it? It's like someone works hard, builds a house, finds a matchmaker, and prepares a wedding banquet. Finally, it's time to go to the bridal chamber, but while they're in the bathroom, someone else enters the bridal chamber.

The bridal chamber was gone, and the banquet outside had been completely eaten, leaving only scraps. Any normal person would be furious, let alone Mephisto, the ruler of hell.

The clenched fist slammed down, the power of the rules penetrating deep into the earth's core, completely destroying the stable rules of this place. Instantly, earthquakes erupted, tsunamis surged, and magma spewed from every crack.

Crack! Another punch landed, and the crack on the planet was almost extending to the other side.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, Mephisto leaped into the air and flew towards Thanos's fleet in the universe.

Behind Mephisto lies a shattered planet, utterly destroyed. Its structure is broken, and it will be torn apart by the gravitational forces of the entire universe. As for when it will completely dissipate and whether it will affect other planets in the star system, that remains to be seen.

"What have you done?!" Mephisto smashed through the ship's shields and landed in front of Thanos, looking at him and questioning him.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask. I don't recall ever saying I was going to give you this planet." Thanos stood up. Harvesting souls is one thing, but why destroy a planet? Isn't that like killing the hen before eating the egg? Is he out of his mind?

Mephisto seemed to understand something when he saw Thanos's expression. "Those disgusting creatures weren't released by you?"

Thanos was taken aback, and the question that Corvus Glaive asked him almost came out, but after thinking about it again, he seemed to understand.

Good heavens! A cosmic overlord and a hellish king, two big shots teamed up, and the final fruits were taken by someone else?!

The sudden attack by the eight demons, their refusal to let him leave even at a loss, and their eventual escape with the newly appeared creatures—these images flashed through Mephisto's mind. It was as if he had been hunting all day but had his eyes pecked by a sparrow!

Chapter 285 The Belated Script Settlement (Contains a Large Amount of Data)

The eight demons were driven out by humans, and the Alien Queen was also driven out by humans. Now these two groups have joined forces, which clearly indicates some kind of connection. If we trace this back further, it turns out that the one causing trouble is indeed that arrogant multi-human united civilization.

After discovering once again that he had been tricked by humans, Mephisto looked up towards the Chitauri homeworld, which seemed to be home to the Human Alliance's allies.

Thanos understood Mephisto's body language, but he didn't seem to be with Mephisto at all, because Thanos wanted the Alliance to help the Chitauri with all their might, since that civilization that had to start from scratch was dragging the Alliance down.

Thanos didn't respond, and Mephisto wasn't keen on going to the Chitauri homeworld alone either. The phantom of the Celestial Emperor, the sealed artifact C'Thun, and Nasus of Shurima had all appeared there.

Three legendary monsters, and another being on par with Thanos. Mephisto thought for a moment that this might be another trap.

After a moment's thought, Mephisto decided not to get involved in this mess. Anyway, he'd been angry before all these years, so he could get his revenge elsewhere. Mephisto remembered that there was a hard-to-kill little bat on Earth who was very much at odds with the original Ancient One, so it should also be at odds with these guys who inherited the Ancient One's legacy.

Thinking of this, Mephisto slipped away, but before leaving, he didn't retrieve the statue he had left with Thanos. He accepted being tricked; after all, they all had a blood feud with the Human Alliance. If there were any future actions against the Human Alliance, Mephisto would be happy to lend a hand.

After Mephisto left, Thanos waved his hand and bypassed the Chitauri King, directing the fleet to leave the current star system. These dilapidated ships were not repaired where they needed to be, and the newly built ones were all shoddy constructions. Before the war officially began, Thanos had to have the craftsmen in other places repair them properly, and the cannon fodder also needed to have some strength.

On the other side, after confirming that Thanos's fleet had entered the nebula and was slowly leaving the star system using the spying function of the cabin in the woods, Yang Qiu finally finished the script that had been sitting for who knows how long.

Script Eleven: The Cabin in the Woods

Synopsis: This is an ordinary little wooden cabin, just a bit sturdier. We usually use these kinds of ordinary cabins to house captured sealed artifacts, but this time, its role has changed…

Script evolution result: Excellent

Script evolution products: cabin in the woods, sealed artifact, three enhancements to world energy

The Cabin in the Woods: A small cabin containing both Kilan's large magic circle and the Emperor's seal. All sealed objects marked by it will automatically return to the cabin after being destroyed. Therefore, to contain the escaped sealed objects, you only need to kill them!

Sealed items: Items that are sealed because they are harmful to the united civilization of diverse humans and are difficult to use on a large scale. They are mainly classified into numbered level, key concern level, concern level, and unsealed level.

Numbered Tier: Sealed artifacts with an evaluation score above the Legendary threshold, or those capable of easily destroying multiple civilizations (such as C'Thun).

Special Concern Level: Sealed artifacts with an evaluation score higher than that of an advanced professional, or sealed artifacts that could cause irreversible damage to a civilization, or sealed artifacts that require special attention due to some legacy issues (such as Laaste).

Concern Level: Sealed objects that could cause significant social harm and whose status needs to be checked frequently.

Unsealed: A sealed object that has been temporarily removed from the cabin in the woods for various reasons.

The world's energy has increased three times: the energy activity of Earth and its star system (with stellar winds as the boundary) has increased for the third time, the energy concentration has increased, the threshold for advancement of various routes has decreased again, and the threshold for energy perception has decreased again.

Looking at the script settlement page, Yang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like he hadn't seen this page in a long time. The Human Union was developing so well that Yang Qiu had almost forgotten about it.

Five years have passed. Yang Qiu has been awakening his abilities for a little over five years now, and he feels that his achievements over this long period are quite satisfactory.

Hydra, which was hiding within S.H.I.E.L.D., was eliminated, the intensity of global warfare continued to decline, and the number of deaths due to disease, hunger, and other reasons decreased rapidly. The Battle of New York disappeared into a non-existent past, and it is foreseeable that several other major battles will also disappear into the future of this world.

In addition, although the Ancient One's original sorcerer council was gone and the Ancient One herself retired early, the Clock Tower and the Heavenly Court emerged to replace the sorcerer council in maintaining the stability of the solar system. The overall improvement in strength also allowed Earth to finally break free from its position as a vassal of Asgard.

Yang Qiu originally planned to turn the entire Earth into a transcendent paradise, but as things have progressed step by step, he can only admit that he had been too optimistic.

Unequal distribution of resources and the closeness or distance of personal relationships exist everywhere. If you push things forward blindly without considering the overall situation, you will only end up with a mess.

This is why Yang Qiu has been increasing the strength and number of personnel on the mystical side. Although this has exacerbated the abnormal concentration of resources, at least these people listen to Yang Qiu, and he can slowly and steadily push forward his decisions.

However, the pressure Thanos is putting on Yang Qiu is making him consider whether he should speed things up a bit. The battles that are about to happen will be something that ordinary people simply cannot escape or avoid.

However, there is one more thing to do first, which is to sort out all the current combat forces of the Human Alliance.

Maximum combat strength:

Heavenly Emperor: Founder of the Heavenly Court, main initiator of the Heavenly Court, owner of the Book of Time, and one of Yang Qiu's aliases.
