In a secret underground SHIELD facility, there were two men observing something on the operating table.
"This is the third time this month that an extraterrestrial spaceship has crashed" said Dr.Abrahams with worry and continued while looking at the operating table in intrigue, "Most of the time we just get a scraped spaceship, but this time we got the actual pilot too"
"I'm afraid I have bad news for us Erskine, That's a Kree-Skrull" said Eldrin in a serious tone and continued "There is a possibility of an invasion in the near future"
When Erskine heard that, he said anxiously.
"But the problem is when, the number of spaceships that have crashed this month is the highest through the years; at this rate an invasion might happen in a few decades"
After thinking for a moment, Eldrin said with a grim expression.
"I'm afraid it would be way sooner than that Erskine" He then turned his gaze towards Erskine and said with a solemn tone.
"I believe it's time we put the plan in motion"
Erskine's eyes widened at that and answered.
"But it's too soon!, we can't possible unite the whole world under one banner yet, SHIELD doesn't have the necessary influence to do so"
But Eldrin answered with a smile.
"Worry not, I will take care of that; however I will require the attention of the whole world once again"
"But in the meantime you have to start preparations, as it will take some time before every nation agrees to permanently unite"
"But who's gonna lead the whole humanity?" Asked Dr.Abrahams but then regretted it as he noticed Eldrin looking at him with pity.
"Nope, not happening, I will not be leading humanity, you will do it, you are the strongest here" said Dr.Abrahams trying desperately to escape his destiny, but it was futile.
"Unfortunately that's impossible"
"I'm Humanity's sword and shield; that is my destiny and purpose" he then said to Dr.Abrahams barely holding back a devious smirk." However yours is to lead humanity, your strength and character befits a crown" said Eldrin while materialising a crown made of darkness and putting it on Dr. Abrahams head.
"I will take my leave now, future emperor of humanity" said Eldrin while disappearing.
On a dessert, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, It was Eldrin.
"Pfffft! HAHAHHA" the figure burst out laughing and then muttered.
"Poor Erskine, being the emperor of humanity is no easy burden,And that face of pure despair, along with the crown on his head, thank God I took a photo of it"
January 9, 1976
The whole world once again paused, they had gotten news three days ago that the Darkling himself would make an announcement that would change the world forever.
Most people were watching on their TV at the countdown, while others were more old-fashioned and were listening to their radio, and the rest that where outside were looking at some dark portals that showed that very same countdown.
33 years ago, Eldrin could only materialise these portals in a few places in America; 33 years later, those portals could be materialised in almost all of Europe.
"The countdown is almost over, this is the second time in history that the Darkling himself would personally make an announcement" said the commentator excited.

Silence~
The broadcast suddenly showed a scene in a desert, and there he was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Greetings yet again people of all nations"
"I'm here today to reveal something you all suspect but cannot prove, something that the elites have been desperately trying to hide from you, and I cannot blame them for that; however I believe you all need to know the truth" said Eldrin and then continued with a serious tone.
"We are not alone"
Everybody around the world shivered at that, even without him being more specific, they perfectly understood what he meant.
People all around the world felt various emotions.
Dread
fear
excitement
Families held each other.
Conspiracy theorists felt the urge to say to humanity.
I told you so
The elites could not stop what was happening, and with grim faces they watched as forbidden knowledge was revealed to the whole world.
Suddenly, something else appeared in the broadcast beside Eldrin; it was an operating table, and in it was a corpse of a green humanoid creature with pointed ears, Eldrin then spoke.
"This creature is called Kree-Skrull, and it is one of the many extraterrestrial species that exist"
"They are more intelligent than we are, possessing superior technology and shape-shifting capabilities which makes them the perfect infiltrators"
People all over the world gasped when they heard that while looking terrified at the corpse on the operating table.
Eldrin then flew rapidly out of the atmosphere towards the moon with the cameras along, naturally to prevent them from being burned by the heat of leaving the atmosphere Eldrin covered them with transparent cocoons made of Darkness, which allowed the world to observe everything.
After a few minutes, Eldrin arrived at the dark side of the moon.
What the broadcast showed will forever remain in the memory of all humans who saw it: a giant futuristic, floating city.
Now it was the elite's turn to be shocked; every military in the whole world felt threatened, they never knew that there was such a thing right above their heads.
But Eldrin then spoke.
"Before the elites start to throw every bomb and weapon known and unknown to mankind I feel obliged to warn you that you wouldn't want a war with them, although they are relatively few of them each individual there has unique superpowers; the strongest of them all is called Black Bolt, with his powers he could destroy whole cities and even mountains if he wishes"
"They are a species called the Inhumans who previously resided on our planet, but due to the increasing pollution they chose to leave and go to the moon, they currently hold no malice towards us"
for now
Eldrin then went back towards Earth.
After he arrived in that same desert, he said in a threatening tone while looking towards the cameras.
"I believe it's time for the Elites of all nations to stop playing their games of ambition and greed"
He then said loudly.
"IT IS TIME TO UNITE THE WHOLE HUMANITY UNDER ONE BANNER PERMANENTLY"
"RELIGIONS WILL COEXIST PEACEFULLY, RACISM WILL BE GONE, NO MATTER YOUR SKIN COLOUR, NO MATTER YOUR DIFFERENCES, YOU ARE ALL HUMANS, AND HUMANS ARE THE STRONGEST WHEN THEY WORK TOGETHER"
"I HEREBY DECLARE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE HUMAN EMPIRE"
"FROM NOW ON, NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE, I TAKE AN OATH TO BE YOUR ETERNAL SWORD AND SHIELD"
"FOR HUMANITY AND FOR THE LIGHT!!"
