American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 38 The Auction Reopens - Part 1

Later, Vega learned from Monica what had happened over the past month. He was truly surprised that the invasion had affected several states and more than 30 million people.

This crisis has been incredibly destructive, leaving the United States severely weakened and unlikely to recover for decades.

The government's control over these places and these people will be extremely weak for a long time, and many more people will likely die in the ensuing long period of chaos. This environment may even give rise to a great many supervillains.

However, with so many supervillains, superheroes will emerge to counterbalance them, which is something he doesn't need to worry about.

After all, dealing with ordinary henchmen is the responsibility of those city heroes, and it would be beneath him, as a top-tier super-father, to get involved.

Monica: "The government simply doesn't have the capacity to rebuild the city and help the refugees. They will definitely ask other countries for help and try to get big capital involved in urban reconstruction and refugee relief."

I'm thinking of actively getting involved. What do you think?

Since learning that it wasn't the human government that made Vega feel insecure, Monica became less enthusiastic about making money.

However, the amount of capital she holds is too large to be sold off, and she can't give it away for free, so she has no choice but to continue to control it.

She wanted to actively participate in urban reconstruction and disaster relief because she knew she couldn't avoid it, and she also felt sorry for the ordinary people who died, while also wanting to accumulate good fortune for her children.

Vega: "You make your own decision. I don't understand these things either, but don't overwork yourself. You're pregnant now."

"By the way, do you have enough money? If not, I'll hold a few auctions. After this crisis, many people should have used up most of their belongings, so auctioning them now will fetch higher prices."

Monica: "We still have over 500 billion in liquid funds, so the auction can be held. But we don't have much stock left. I've used some of what you left me and sold some of it this month."

Vega: "Don't worry, I should have plenty of time now. You can spread the word later that the auction will resume tomorrow night at 8 p.m., once a week for three months."

Once the news of the auction is released again, no one should bother him for the sake of a superstar, right?

Monica: "No problem, where will the auction be held?"

Vega: "The auction tomorrow night is scheduled at the Allied Command Headquarters, and I plan to invite the extraordinary individuals who are participating in the war to attend as well."

Regardless of whether those extraordinary individuals have the financial means to purchase, Vega's purpose is to showcase his abilities through the auction.

A super support/healer who can alchemy and make medicine would be someone anyone with a sound mind would try to get along with, since no one can guarantee that they won't encounter enemies they can't defeat or suffer injuries that can't be healed by normal means.

In fact, he only wanted to befriend a few powerful individuals, but those extraordinary people had not yet disbanded, so he couldn't just invite a few people who could help him individually, otherwise he would appear to be very opportunistic.

Vega briefly told Monica what kind of world he had been to and why it had taken him so long to return before quietly leaving Earth and arriving in Nidavellir.

He planted the magical herbs for making potions, as well as the extraordinary wood needed to make amulets, battle puppets, and other magical items, in Nidavellir.

Moreover, his alchemy and alchemy laboratories are also located here.

Upon seeing Vega again, Etri was overjoyed: "Lee, how was that equipment?"

Vega walked over with a smile, gave a thumbs-up, and exclaimed, "They work wonderfully! I love them!"

Ai Cui stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Hahaha~, I'm glad you like it. You've come at the perfect time. We just finished brewing a batch of malt beer. Let's go and try it out."

Vega: "Next time, I have things to do this time and I need your help."

Ai Cui asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"It's like this..." Vega told Etriel what had happened on Earth over the past month, and then said, "Loki should still be hiding on Earth. In order to prevent him from secretly controlling some key human leaders, I need to make a batch of mind protection amulets."

"The World Tree! Loki has actually led outsiders to attack Midgard!" Etri was shocked and furious.

The Nine Realms are not at peace; in fact, some realms harbor deep-seated hatred and enmity with each other.

However, regardless of the hatred and conflicts between them, during the battles between different realms, there has never been any instance of them colluding with people outside the World Tree to deal with each other.

Because in the eyes of most beings in the Nine Realms, the Nine Realms are a whole. The fighting and killing they usually engage in are their internal conflicts. To collude with outsiders to attack the Nine Realms is to betray all beings in the Nine Realms.

Vega: "Don't be so angry. It's not surprising that someone who can kill his own father and try to exterminate his own race would do anything. Time is of the essence, let's get started."

Etri muttered under his breath, "First that one, and now Loki. Thor is like a child who hasn't grown up yet. What are we going to do in the future?"

Judging from the fact that Odin, the king of gods, wanted to pass the throne to Thor a few months ago, it was clear to everyone that Odin probably didn't have much time left, and none of the next generation of the Aesir gods had become successful.

The success here doesn't refer to whether one has the talent to manage the Nine Realms. Management ability is important, but in the extraordinary world, what truly matters is having the overwhelming power to suppress everything!

Without overwhelming power that inspires fear in everyone, even if you are a saint, countless ambitious individuals will want to take your place.

Actually, no matter what the Nine Realms do, Ai Cui isn't too worried.

The dwarves are few in number and have no powerful figures, so they pose no threat to any force. On the contrary, whoever controls the Nine Realms will be inseparable from them because of their expertise in crafting weapons and equipment.

What Etri is truly worried about is that, apart from Odin, there is currently no powerful being in the Nine Realms who can deter outsiders from prying into their eyes.

Well, it's not that it doesn't exist, but it's practically the same as not having it, because the Sorcerer Supreme only cares about Midgard.

Sigh, there's no use thinking about it so much. The weak can only go with the flow. Let's cherish the increasingly rare moments of safety.

Etri's mutterings were far louder than usual, and Vega naturally heard every single word, guessing what he was worried about.

However, he didn't say anything. Firstly, he wasn't strong enough to give the dwarves any guarantees; secondly, Odin was still alive. He didn't care about any underhanded tactics, but if anyone dared to cross the line, the god-king's benevolent fist would definitely hit him in the face in the next second!
