It was as expected. Without the intervention of Dao Long and his subordinates, the various forces on Earth were helpless against Thanos and his army.
Although the magic they wielded could cause some trouble for Thanos's forces, it was only to a certain extent and could not deliver a decisive blow.
Even the self-proclaimed righteous Justice League and Avengers were no match for Thanos's vast army.
Incidentally, besides the people under Bai Qi, the only one on Earth capable of stopping Thanos and his army was Superman.
Unfortunately, Superman and the elders of the Justice League were, due to a recent accusation by Savage, forced to travel to the distant Cosmic Court to defend themselves, and were not on Earth.
Thanos's purpose on Earth was simple: to find the remaining Infinity Stones. Anyone who dared to stand in his way, be it person or nation, was crushed without exception.
But now came the problem. Earth originally had Infinity Stones, but they were later absorbed by Bai Qi as energy. Earth currently had no Infinity Stones to give Thanos.
However, Thanos paid no mind to this and continued his relentless search for the Infinity Stones on Earth.
The remaining members of the Justice League, the Teen Titans, the Avengers, and even the X-Men were deployed, yet they still couldn't defeat Thanos and his army.
Just as Thanos was about to lose patience and prepare to destroy Earth before continuing his search.
It was only then that Dao Long and his group intervened. However, they did not deploy their hidden space battleships. Instead, under Bai Qi's leadership, they engaged Thanos's army in combat on Earth.
The final outcome was as expected. Bai Qi, relying on her immense power, overwhelmed everyone, cut through the throng of soldiers, eliminated Thanos, and seized the remaining Infinity Stones he possessed.
Without their leader, the army's strength was greatly diminished. Especially when they saw Thanos's severed head, their morale suffered an unprecedented blow, and they were quickly defeated by the triumphant Earth Allied Army.
Yes, the army led by Bai Qi was named the Earth Allied Army.
As the leader of the Earth Allied Army and the one who personally killed Thanos, Bai Qi undoubtedly became a hero in everyone's eyes after the war. With the active promotion of the Holy Dragon Church, she received the support of over ninety percent of humanity worldwide.
Facing the meteoric rise of Bai Qi, the leaders of various countries sensed something was amiss and wanted to intervene, but it was too late.
With the help of the Holy Dragon Church, the Illuminati, and the Earth Allied Army, Bai Qi's momentum reached unprecedented heights.
With the assistance of Dao Long, the Ancient One, and others, Bai Qi, at the peak of her popularity, proposed the concept of the Earth Alliance.
The so-called Earth Alliance was an advanced version of the United Nations.
Within this alliance, the concept of nation-states was gradually diluted, and major actions were decided by vote.
Of course, many were inwardly displeased with Bai Qi's proposal, but many intelligent individuals recognized that it was an unstoppable trend.
After dealing with a few disobedient nations that attempted to incite war, the Earth Alliance was officially established.
Bai Qi rightfully became the chief of the alliance, holding two votes for herself. In addition, the five great benefactors of the Blue Star each held a seat and one vote. Savage, as the King of the Underworld, occupied a seat and a vote. Octavian, by handing over a basic spacecraft and extending human lifespan to two hundred years, gained a seat and a vote. Finally, as the Pope of the Holy Dragon Church, the largest global religious faith, Wu naturally obtained a seat and a vote.
After this series of maneuvers, Savage, Dao Long, Octavian, and Wu were all Bai Qi's people. Coupled with Bai Qi's two votes, the voting process was effectively a means for Bai Qi to monopolize power.
However, none of this mattered. In Bai Qi's eyes, the so-called Earth Alliance was merely child's play. Bai Qi was not concerned with the control of Earth; her mission was to protect the main world.
As the years passed, when the elders of the Justice League, having completed their defense, were acquitted and returned to Earth, the planet had undergone earth-shattering changes. The Earth Alliance, having obtained the blueprints for spaceship manufacturing, began constructing vessels capable of taking them away from their home planet to the vastness of space.
Unfortunately, humanity's spacecraft were of too low a grade, so low that even if Bai Qi's fleet of warships were right in front of them, they wouldn't be able to see them.
But all this was unimportant. What was important was their inability to understand why Bai Qi, Bai Qi's daughter, could become the leader of the Earth Alliance. The heads of state truly were a group of little geniuses to allow the daughter of a great demon to lead them.
Perhaps the others in the Justice League didn't understand, but Batman was not at all surprised by the current situation. After all, he had long suspected something was amiss with Bai Qi, especially when Bai Qi entrusted Bai Qi to his care for training. Batman had sensed something was wrong, yet he couldn't quite articulate it.
Recalling it now, everything made sense.
After all, Superman and the other Justice League elders had not experienced the war with Thanos. Even if they didn't say it aloud, they still didn't truly acknowledge Bai Qi, until that incident occurred.
Remember when Bai Qi absorbed the power of an external giant dragon a long time ago?
That's right, at the time, only a portion of its residual power was absorbed. But precisely because of this, Earth's coordinates were exposed, and it also angered the true form of that dragon.
However, at that time, the dragon's true form was in the void and entangled in troubles, so it couldn't bother with Bai Qi. After resolving its issues, it wasted a considerable amount of time on its journey. It finally arrived outside the main world, only to be blocked by the damned Source Wall.
Finally, after a careful search, it managed to find a loophole and enter the main world. However, the delay was too long, and Bai Qi had already entered hibernation.
But it didn't matter. The dragon clearly didn't care who it sought revenge from; it only wanted revenge. Since Bai Qi was not present, it would destroy the world he once existed in, and Earth naturally became the primary target of its vengeance.
At the Earth Alliance space base.
At this very moment, a large number of news media personnel had gathered. Reporters with their cameras and microphones were eager to record this historic moment.
Spearheaded by the Earth United Factory and advanced by multiple technology companies, the project named "The Expeditionaries" was officially completed today.
The project involved the construction of thirty-five space warships, including five heavy-class, ten medium-class, and twenty light-class vessels.
Of course, these classifications were based on humanity's current technological standards. Compared to the warships created by Bai Qi, the human-built heavy-class vessels were not much larger than Bai Qi's light-class ones.
