Celestial Sword Bureau Orbital Satellite
Confidential Conference Room
Pale blue energy particles intertwined in the air to form a circular conference table, and holographic images of dozens of national representatives lit up one by one.
The Russian representative's thick fingers tapped the virtual desktop: "You said a Universe overlord is coming to attack Earth?"
Eller leaned against the observation window, which offered a view of outer space, his fingertips unconsciously caressing the edges of the Director's authorization key.
The English representative was adjusting his monocle, and the French representative's fingertips, which had been toying with a gold-plated pen, suddenly paused.
When Wakanda's holographic projection lit up, Eller took a deep breath, "This will be humanity's second encounter with a large-scale alien invasion."
None of the national intelligence agencies had received information from their informants embedded within S.W.O.R.D., so they all had reason to suspect that this was, in fact, information Eller had discovered personally.
This was a normal suspicion and curiosity, and Eller understood. He smiled slightly, then said:
"Yes, gentlemen, S.W.O.R.D.'s radar is indeed temporarily unable to detect the enemy's movements. This information was obtained through my personal ability. I guarantee, on my honor, that there is an alien who wants to attack Earth. He is even a continuation of the last Chitauri invasion, and if he succeeds, Earth will lose at least half of its population."
"Half the population? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" a national representative questioned.
"No, our S.W.O.R.D. Director would not exaggerate the enemy at a time like this."
The Chinese representative stepped forward to speak for Eller. His holographic image had just made a gesture of listening intently, and behind him, the faint outline of a three-pointed, double-edged spear could be vaguely seen on a traditional ink wash painting screen.
"According to reliable information from the God Conferring Team, a powerful Universe force is indeed heading towards Earth and will arrive in at most three days."
Hearing the name of this team, Eller roughly guessed who had made a move, and his decision to use the S.W.O.R.D. Director's once-in-a-lifetime global conference power (only three uses allowed) was also somewhat due to his coveting the God Conferring Team's strength.
"Three days?" Many representatives showed troubled expressions.
Currently, the only true external defense lines on Earth were the Celestial Sword Bureau Orbital Satellite and the satellites previously used to intercept meteorites. Earth had too few things it could use to retaliate.
"Earth's outer defense line will be composed of the strongest super-powered individuals in the world," Eller proposed.
The Avengers could send Thor and Captain Marvel, the God Conferring side also had three powerful figures, and with Eller's ability to contact Black Bolt of the Inhumans, the first line of defense was thus formed.
The second line of defense would be a firepower net formed by human armies on alert within the atmosphere, complemented by the superheroes of various nations.
This was humanity's first comprehensive resistance against an alien invasion, and this event could serve as a good beginning.
The discussion process might have been intense, but the overall direction was positive.
Thinking of this, Eller's face showed a smile. As the S.W.O.R.D. Director, he had to be on the front line.
The entire Earth entered a state of alert. Armies began to gather, but not for mutual aggression, but to protect Earth.
All countries carried out evacuation propaganda; once the aliens entered the atmosphere, people would have to go to shelters.
And in space, several powerful individuals formed the first line of defense, all possessing the ability to traverse the Universe.
They were Captain Sun Wukong of the God Conferring Team, Heavenly Court God of War Yang Jian, Demon-Subduing God Nezha, the future Asgardian God King Thor, Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, and Inhuman leader Black Bolt. These extraordinarily capable and space-combat-suited powerhouses formed the first line of defense.
Meanwhile, on Earth, superheroes and the military cooperated to protect this sole home.
Inside the Celestial Sword Bureau Orbital Satellite, numerous Agents had been busy for several days, with detectors operating at maximum power, providing real-time information to the allied forces.
"High energy readings detected near Mars, moving at high speed! It is highly likely to be the alien legion!"
"Notify the allied forces. Adjust the alert level from Level Two to the highest, Level One," Eller commanded.
For an existence like Eller, the distance from Mars to Earth was no longer far. He could even see Thanos's fleet near Mars.
When Thanos's fleet approached closer, the other powerhouses could also see it.
"Everyone, it's up to you now," Eller said solemnly in the communication channel.
"Within my duty," Captain Marvel replied, "Thanos is the enemy of all peaceful civilizations."
"It's only right to help a friend," Thor said casually.
"Heh, little junior, you're growing so fast, not bad, not bad," Sun Wukong of the God Conferring Team joked with Eller. When the Chitauri invaded back then, they had also noted down the opponent's aura.
"I'm just average," Eller humbly smiled, then turned to praise, "On the contrary, Great Sage, you still have your magnificent demeanor."
"How are you so familiar with the Great Sage, junior?" the male-faced, female-featured Demon-Subduing God asked in confusion.
"Instinct," Eller said ambiguously.
"Not much time left, it's time to go," Heavenly Court God of War Yang Jian's three eyes all opened, and then he departed with the others.
Black Bolt couldn't speak, but he was probably the happiest one, as he could finally sing his heart out.
Before long, a flash of fire came from afar, signifying the start of the battle.
Perhaps this was his final battle? Eller suddenly thought, years of experiences surging into his mind in an instant.
Blood Demon Hunter, God of Belief, S.W.O.R.D. Director, 'Sorcerer Supreme'—these were the statuses and reputations I once held, each stronger and higher than the last in terms of identity and public office.
My name is Ailer Hestia, currently the strongest Avenger.
Ever since I began my adventures as Kamen Rider Geats, power has continuously grown within me, making my strength such that only a few other strong individuals can compare to Eller.
Compare? Perhaps after some time, I will surpass them.
And to ensure I always possess invincible power, I will stop at nothing to do everything necessary.
Because this is my path, my—way!
Perhaps some people don't acknowledge me. But when the vast majority of people in the world trust me, believing me to be the most noble hero, the most powerful Avenger, how could I be wrong?
As long as I continue to do things that make others believe, power will continuously manifest within me, thereby constantly increasing the renown of Kamen Rider Geats.
Therefore, all my enemies, if you don't want to die, if you don't want to suffer, then you must fear me, dread me, revere me! Admire me, this Blood Demon Hunter, and be willing to die for me, your S.W.O.R.D. Director, your God of Belief, your 'Sorcerer Supreme,' your, your, your—your Kamen Rider Geats!
