**Chapter 442: Meeting, Surrender, Seeking Aid**
At the World Security Council Headquarters Building, a meeting concerning the safety of the entire world was underway.
"I want to know, how much time do we have left?"
In the Hall of the World Security Council, a High-Ranking Official looked at Tony Stark on the meeting room podium and the countless ironclad, menacing Alien Warships displayed on the Light Screen behind him, frowning, a rare sight.
"Three months!" Tony Stark held up three fingers. "According to the result of the negotiations between Master Ancient One and that Cosmic Overlord, we have three months to prepare!"
The reason Tony Stark was at the World Security Council Headquarters Building was naturally to convey the negotiation results from Ancient One, God King Zeus, and Thanos.
A war concerning the life and death of Humanity, and even the entire Universe, would have its decisive battle on a moon of Saturn, which was also Thanos's Homeworld.
"Three months!" The High-Ranking Official whispered a few words to The Great Emperor beside him. The two nodded to each other.
"How large is the enemy's Military force, and what about their Weapon Equipment?" The Great Emperor asked directly.
Tony Stark shook his head. "We don't have detailed Data on that, but it's not optimistic. After all, the enemy is an Alien Civilization that truly possesses Interstellar Travel, far beyond what Earth Technology can compare to!"
Tony Stark's words were undoubtedly like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads. The Venue erupted in a buzz of discussion.
The more Modern Society advanced, the more people recognized the military disparity brought about by Technological Level. It was like the Federal Army's lightning strike on Iraq back then, a complete dimensionality reduction attack.
Clearly, an enemy who could be called a Cosmic Overlord would have a Technological Level far exceeding the gap between the Federation and Iraq back then.
It was even possible that the war between them would be less of a war and more of a massacre, like a confrontation between Natives in Africa armed with Spears and a modernized Federal Army.
"Ahem! I don't understand what Earth has that's worth these Aliens coveting. Two waves of them have come now. What do they want? Earth's mineral resources, or its Population? I mean, is there no possibility of peace talks between us?"
Everyone in the Venue turned their Gaze towards the Gallian Leader who spoke. Truly worthy of being called the Gallian Chicken.
"With a three-month buffer period, perhaps we can seize this Time to see if there's any hope for peace talks! Couldn't that Master Ancient One negotiate with that Alien Leader? Why can't we? We here are the ones who truly represent Earth's Interests!"
His words immediately plunged everyone into thought. The leaders of various Countries and some of the High-Ranking Officials they brought with them began low-voiced discussions.
Facing an enemy they were utterly powerless to defeat, sometimes compromise might not be without a Way out.
The Alien invaders' iron hooves were close at hand. From the Space Monitoring Stations of various Countries, that massive Alien Fleet could be seen.
During this period, Military Countermeasure Simulations for this Alien Invasion had been repeated countless times in various Countries. Under absolute Strength, Earth often couldn't even last a single Bout against this Invasion.
This was even when the Human Faction made the first move, bundling all of Earth's Nuclear Weapons together to launch a mutually destructive attack towards the Alien invaders. But under Supercomputer simulations, even this would only cause insignificant damage to those Alien invaders.
This was different from the Chitauri Invasion, which was limited by a Spatial Wormhole and was just a minor skirmish. This time, the Alien invaders were launching a full-scale Attack. The Human Faction had no Chance of Winning.
Perhaps Surrender was the only choice to preserve the populace.
Tony Stark stood at the podium, looking at the Crowd below whispering and discussing. A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He knew what these people were thinking right now: Surrender, or rather, how to secure greater Interests for themselves when surrendering.
Tony Stark knew this was human nature, but these people didn't know that what Thanos wanted wasn't Resources or Population.
That Environmental Idealist Terrorist wanted to turn half the Universe's Life into Ash. Having failed once, he might even turn the entire Universe into an Uninhabited Area.
"Ahem!" Tony Stark coughed several times, finally drawing the attention of the Crowd below back to himself. Facing their Doubtful Gaze, Tony Stark snapped his Fingers. On the Light Screen behind him appeared the Images of a Purple Giant wearing Golden Armor and holding a Double-Edged War Blade.
"Now, let me introduce our enemy, Thanos!"
The Crowd below all looked at the Giant with the huge vertically-lined chin on the Light Screen.
This photo of Thanos naturally came from his Parallel Universe self, who had thoughtfully attached a detailed Data sheet to Thanos's photo.
Name: Thanos
Gender: Male
Height: 6 Feet 7 Inches (201cm)
Weight: 985 Pounds (447kg)
Nationality: Saturn's Moon - Titan
Race: Eternal Titan
Subordinates: Black Order (Black Order Generals), and Affiliated civilizations (Quantity unknown)
"Saturn's moon, this Alien named Thanos is also from the Solar System. According to the Galaxy division, everyone is a Compatriot from the Solar System. Doesn't that increase our chances for peace talks!"
President Ma of Gaul looked at Thanos's Homeworld marked on the Light Screen, as if he had discovered a new continent, feeling excited.
"Unfortunately, I may not have marked it clearly. The reason this guy named Thanos left Titan was precisely because he personally massacred his entire Race! He is now the only surviving Eternal Titan in the entire Universe!" Tony Stark looked at President Ma with Mockery.
"Massacred his entire Race? Why would he do that?" President Ma was somewhat surprised.
Tony Stark explained in a deep voice, "This Thanos is an extreme Environmentalist. In his view, his Homeworld's Population was bearing a burden it shouldn't, and the Eternal Titan Race's living Environment was also extremely harsh. To save his Homeworld, he simply killed his entire Race!"
"What?" The Master of the White House looked speechless. "Are you sure this guy is an Alien and not someone from Japan pretending? I've only seen this kind of Brain in Japanese Comic Books. Slaughtering his own Race, is there something wrong with his Head?"
"From a Height perspective, this Mr. Thanos is indeed a genuine Eternal Titan, and should have little to do with those guys from Japan!" someone nearby interjected.
"The key issue is that after Thanos massacred his Race, his Ideology didn't change at all; instead, it intensified. In the Time that followed, he conquered countless Civilizations. Every Planet he captured, he would randomly massacre half of that Planet's Population without discrimination!"
"Whoa!"
As soon as Tony Stark finished speaking, the entire Venue erupted in an uproar.
"Are you saying that after he conquers Earth, he will also massacre half the Population!" A well-dressed White Person Old Man stood up with a serious expression.
"No!" Tony Stark looked at the Certain Country Prime Minister who asked the question and denied his Guess. But before the Certain Country Prime Minister and the Crowd below could breathe a sigh of relief, he added, "He will directly destroy Earth, turning this Planet beneath our Feet into cosmic Dust!"
"Do you have any Evidence?" a High-Ranking Official from Gaul questioned.
"What Evidence do you need? Huh?" Tony Stark couldn't stand these Politicians anymore. He pointed upwards and said sternly, "The enemy is at our Entrance, about to break in, and you're still finding reasons to Surrender!"
The atmosphere in the Venue instantly became almost Frozen with Tony Stark's accusation.
