Marvel Supernova

High mountains stand in the distance, waterfalls cascade down, water gurgling at your feet, and a pavilion beside the stream.

The breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is quiet and peaceful.

There was a chess board placed on the wooden table in the pavilion, with the timing of the chess pieces ticking. Ella and Liana were sitting at both ends of the chessboard, fighting and attacking.

In a chess duel, the side holding white has the right to move first.

Ella likes Zhibai very much. She likes to take the initiative, test the opponent's moves, find the opponent's weaknesses, and then kill them with one blow.

When she was studying at Zhongcheng High School, she had plenty of spare time and joined the school's chess club.Relying on his photographic memory and superhuman brain power, he soon became the leader of the chess club.

Unfortunately, as the strength becomes stronger, the time becomes less and less.

But no matter where she goes, there is always a chessboard carved with black and white crystal in the dimensional space.

This expensive chessboard was a birthday gift given to her by Teacher Gu Yi.

When something bothers me, I take out the chessboard and have a self-play showdown.

She has always felt that the chessboard is like life.

There is no regret in playing chess, there is no regret medicine in the world, you must think twice before doing anything.

Doing your own thing carefully is the best way to defeat your opponent. Paying too much attention to your opponent's shortcomings will ignore your own flaws and become the seeds of failure.

She always imagined the White Queen as herself, conquering the world and guiding the country.

Sometimes she often wonders in a funny way whether this is the reason why she likes to wear white clothes.

Ella originally thought she could deal with Liana quickly, but she didn't expect that this little girl's national chess skills were unexpectedly high.

The black and white sides on the chessboard are interlocking, and it has reached a fever pitch.

"My father is an international grand master!"

Liana couldn't help but feel proud when she saw Ella holding her chin and concentrating on taking the long exam.

Her father is the best Russian at this game, and she was exposed to chess under his influence when she was three years old.

If her father hadn't died early and she was captured by the devil, this girl might be an international grand master now.

The two have completely different playing styles.

Liana is good at the closed Sicilian defense opening. Once the attack is launched, it is continuous and extremely aggressive; while Ella is good at the queen-wing defense opening. After the chess game is opened in the middle game, there are many changes and full of stamina.

Both sides come and go, fighting for every inch of land.

To put it simply, the queen's gambit means sacrificing the "wing pawns" on the side of the "queen" for White, who goes first, in exchange for control of the situation.

This way of opening is to adopt the strategy of giving up first in order to gain initiative and control. The deeper meaning is 'losing is gaining'.

Ella is about to face such a problem. She must give up the "wing soldiers" who have been protecting the "White Queen" to ensure that the "White Queen" can rush to the Black King and checkmate the opponent.

But once the immortal Black is defeated, she will have no room for improvement and will almost certainly lose.

Is it a desperate move or should I continue to deal with the opponent? Ella is undecided.

"Time!"

Liana, who was impatient to wait, pointed to the chess clock beside the chessboard.

Ella looked up and saw that it was entering the countdown stage. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not give up on the wing soldiers.

"Oh, sister, your move is not very wise."

Unexpectedly, Ella's hesitation gave Liana a chance. After a fierce pursuit, Ella threw away her armor and was defeated.

"Hey, I am concerned after all!"

The eldest lady reluctantly pushed 'Queen White' to admit defeat.

"You seem to have something on your mind? Ella."

"When did you become so smart? My dear sister."

"Tch, I'm not an idiot. Ever since you made that announcement, I've been a little absent-minded. If you were worried about not being able to defeat Thanos, wouldn't I still be here?"

"Okay, if I really fight with Thanos, I will definitely call you!" Ella scratched Mysterio's nose dotingly.

"Again?" Liana proudly began to provoke.

"Again!" Ella closed her eyes, full of fighting spirit.

The two returned the chess pieces to their positions and started fighting again.

This time, Ella did not make the mistake of being hesitant again, boldly abandoning the wing soldiers and rooks, and directly forced Liana's Black King into a corner, unable to move.

Although she won the chess game, she looked thoughtful at the lonely figure of the 'white queen' on the chess board.

Is it really good to give up everything around you and win like this?

Is this the right strategy to put friends and comrades who once fought side by side on the edge of life and death?

Is such a victory really worth celebrating?

Is victory achieved at the expense of innocent people called victory?What's the difference between my own approach and Thanos's?

Thinking of this, Ella's fingers holding the 'White Queen' trembled slightly.

Liana saw her sister's eyes closed slightly and her expression looked strange, so she asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"I want to correct my mistake!"

"mistake?"

Ella's eyes were no longer hazy, they were shining brightly, and her whole aura changed completely.

With a slight stroke of his finger on the wooden table, the surrounding scene was distorted, and the mountains, flowing water, and quiet scenes all disappeared.

It turned out that the place where the two of them played chess was in the rest cabin of a large cruiser fighter.

Ella stepped to the cockpit and opened the communication channel.

"High Priest Ayesha! Long time no see."

"Princess Nova?! Stay safe!"

The Sovereigns were very arrogant, but Ayesha seemed very kind to the future queen of the Gaia galaxy.

After all, they killed Ego and saved half the galaxy.

"I need to seek your help, High Priest Ayesha." Ella said straight to the point without too much politeness: "In return, I will agree to join your proposed high-efficiency energy development and control alliance."

The Gaia galaxy is rich in ether phlogiston crystals. As production increases, a large amount of crystal ore pours into the Pan-Galactic Trade Federation.

Not only did the price of phlogiston crystals begin to fall, but the prices of other energy products also began to fall.

As an energy exporting country, Sovereign first felt tremendous pressure.

The aloof racism makes the Sovereign Empire very unpopular in the galaxy. Except for energy transactions, other trade income is very bleak compared to empires with similar national strength.

Ayesha has been proposing that all energy exporting countries in this supercluster unite to form an alliance to control production and prices.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from the nature of the OPEC organization on earth.

After all, no business is as profitable as a monopoly.

A few months ago, Ella had received an invitation from Sovereign, but she had been ignoring it.

The reason is that the market price is not high enough, and no one can see the huge potential of Gaia Galaxy.Even if she sits at the negotiating table, it will be difficult to get a piece of cake that satisfies her.

"We Sovereigns are very happy to reach an agreement with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please tell you what help you need." Ayesha showed an expression of excitement that could not be concealed.
