Chapter 317: The Grand Entrance of the God of Thunder
Queen Frigga instructed the people around her, "You can bring Loki some soup."
"Yes, my lady."
"And then, have the librarian check with the astronomers..."
Thor, the chubby one, stared blankly at his mother, his eyes not blinking at all. Rocket Raccoon curiously asked him, "Who's that stylish lady?"
"She's my mother... She's going to be killed today."
He looked very hesitant and conflicted, muttering to himself, "I can't do it, I can't... I shouldn't have come here, This is a bad idea, I can hardly catch my breath."
Rocket Raccoon waved him over, saying, "Come here, big guy."
Thor's face looked troubled as he murmured, "I shouldn't be here, it's too terrible."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Rocket Raccoon slapped him across the face with a loud smack. "Do you think you're the only one who's lost loved ones? What we need to do now is save the others who can still be saved. They need your help. So, pull yourself together, go chat with that girl while she's not paying attention, get the Infinity Stone, and help me bring our family back!"
"Alright..." Thor's voice sounded choked up after hearing these words.
At this moment, the audience in Asgard fell into silence. Just a moment ago, they were dissatisfied about the fearless Crown Prince turning into such a coward, but now their perspective had changed.
"This raccoon is not good at comforting people! Right, with all the Infinity Stones gathered, a snap of the fingers might bring back those who disappeared because of Thanos, but Thor's loved ones... aren't among them."
"Yeah, when you think about it, I can understand why the Crown Prince is so despondent. He carries so much weight. After the Ragnarok, even though he lost many people, he was still prepared to be a competent king, but then he encountered Thanos, and all of his close friends and family were killed..."
"Afterward, he tried his best to seek revenge against Thanos, to undo all the disasters, but in the end, he couldn't succeed due to a mistake... Even beheading Thanos didn't change the outcome."
The Queen Frigga sighed, "Thor, my child, he's still so young and yet burdened with such heavy responsibilities."
Odin shook his head, "He has done well, and I believe he will overcome this."
Frigga gently looked at the screen, where her chubby son was, "If only I could give him a hug."
On the screen, Thor's eyes were red, and Rocket Raccoon was somewhat surprised, asking, "Are you crying?"
Thor instinctively tried to act tough, "No... I think I'm losing control."
Rocket Raccoon encouraged him, "Then regain control. You'll be fine; you can do it."
Thor took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed himself, saying, "Yes, I can do it! I can do it!"
Seemingly trying to self-motivate?
Rocket Raccoon led the way, "Good, man, she's alone now, our chance is here..."
But there was no response. When Rocket Raccoon turned around, Thor had disappeared.
With this, the accusation of Thor, the God of Thunder, fleeing in the face of danger was firmly established. And he even became a crying man, undoubtedly adding a new entry to his history of embarrassing moments.
Some of the uninvolved spectators couldn't stop laughing, and a cheerful atmosphere filled the surroundings.
However, in Eternal Space, the snarky Tony Stark didn't take the opportunity to mock Thor. He simply said, "The Reality Stone is the fourth one. There are still the Power Stone and the Soul Stone left. The next question might be related to these two stones."
Thor grumbled, "Anyway, it's your turn to answer. You figure it out."
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow, "Thor, you should know that you from the future, or another version of you from a parallel timeline, is different from the present you. Many things in our world have changed. Many tragedies have been avoided, but don't forget, beyond our world, there are countless parallel timelines, where tragedies of all sizes continue to unfold."
"I know, I know!" Thor clenched his fists, "Bruce mentioned these things when we created The Multiverse Defenders, I understand!"
"No, I'm not giving you some grand wisdom. That's Steve's thing. What I want to say is... you see those futures and things that make you uncomfortable, you have the opportunity to change them. We have the ability to travel to other parallel timelines!"
Thor took a deep breath, "Yes, you're right, I'll do it!" He raised an eyebrow, "Tony, I didn't expect you to speak normally now."
Tony Stark just shrugged, and at that moment, the screen presented a new question:
[In the mission of time travel, who once fought themselves fiercely]
[A: Natasha Romanoff
B: Tony Stark
C: Thor Odinson
D: Steve Rogers]
Tony Stark smirked, "We can exclude B for this question."
Thor gave him a look, "I did the same for the previous question. What, are you ready to be contradicted by the quiz again?"
Tony Stark rolled his eyes, "This is completely different from the previous question. In the previous round of the quiz, we already showed a video of me and Scott Lang working together to steal the Space Stone through time travel. Although the protagonist of that video was Loki, and it didn't show much of me, if you think about it carefully, my plan at that time was to create chaos, such as pulling out the reactor's cardiac rhythm connector from my chest. So it's clear that the two Tony Starks wouldn't have a confrontation. Do you understand what I mean?"
Thor shrugged, "Alright, so how should we choose from the remaining three options?"
Tony Stark pondered, "You are going to find the Reality Stone, as seen in the video just now... I don't think the chubby you in a normal state would have a physical confrontation with yourself. If you encounter each other, it should be a one-sided beating. So, we can rule out option c, leaving us with a and d. From the information revealed earlier, Natasha is responsible for finding one of the Infinity Stones, either the Power Stone or the Soul Stone. Regardless of which one it is, they are not on Earth, meaning she would have to go to other planets in space to find them. I don't believe Natasha had been to space before this—so she couldn't have encountered her future self."
Chapter 318: Captain America Classic Ass
Tony Stark's analysis was well-founded, making Thor genuinely feel like he had seen through the fog. He thought, "This guy may have a sharp tongue, but his brain is indeed quite functional."
Nebula asked, "So, you mean to say the answer is 'D'?"
Tony Stark shrugged, "It's pretty obvious. Some time ago, Steve and I travelled to a parallel timeline. When he met his counterpart from that timeline, they almost got into a fight."
He said this while looking at the opposing Team B. Currently, Team B, led by Steve, Natasha, and Scott, had a slight lead in the score.
On Team B's side, Steve Rogers also made some analysis and deductions, believing that the answer to this question was most likely 'D'.
"Think about it, at this moment, New York has just gone through a battle, and everyone is still on high alert. If I, or all of you, suddenly saw another version of ourselves... what would you think?" Steve Rogers asked them.
Scott Lang raised an eyebrow, "Me? I'd probably think I'd encountered some kind of monster."
Natasha Romanoff pondered, "Captain, I understand what you mean. You're saying that during the battle in New York, if you saw another version of yourself, you might mistake him for Loki?"
Steve Rogers nodded, "Exactly. It's very likely to happen. Loki's cunning is well-known, and we've all seen his illusions. If, at that moment, I saw another version of myself, my first reaction definitely wouldn't be to consider it my future self. So, getting into a fight with it would make complete sense."
Upon hearing this, both Natasha Romanoff and Scott Lang found it quite reasonable, and they both decided to choose 'D'.
Soon, the countdown for answering began, and both teams were competing for the right to answer. Once again, Natasha secured the right to answer. She smiled and winked, "My luck is really good today."
Scott Lang chimed in, "Luck is only good if we answer correctly; otherwise, it turns into bad luck!"
Natasha said, "I trust Captain's judgment."
She chose 'D,' and on the other side, Tony Stark from Team A also chose 'D.' The correct answer was revealed, and they both got it right.
[Congratulations to Team B for getting the correct answer. Players Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Scott Lang receive 4 points]
[Congratulations to Team A for the correct answer. Players Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, and Nebula receive 1 point]
Thor regretfully said, "We got it right, but we only got 1 point. We can't catch up with them like this. Tony, it seems your luck is just average. Let me try to answer the next question. Don't worry; I'll listen to your choice."
Tony Stark rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "Alright, for the next question, all three of us should press the button... No, it should be just me and Thor. That way, our chances of getting the answer right are higher. Of course, the condition is that you must listen to me!"
Thor shrugged, "Until you get it wrong... Okay, don't be mad; I'm just kidding. I admit you're better at playing quiz games than me."
As they discussed, a video began playing on the screen.
In the video, Tony Stark stealthily infiltrated the Avengers Tower, hiding in a corner and spying on the Avengers at this point in time.
This video was shown during the previous round of the quiz game when Loki and the Time Variance Authority were exposed. However, one was primarily from Loki's perspective, and the other was from the future Tony Stark's perspective.
Through Tony Stark's sneak peek perspective, you could see the backs of Captain America, the Hulk, and other Avengers.
Tony Stark took a few extra glances at Captain America and teased, "Rogers, I almost forgot, the butt-lifting effect of your outfit is something else... It's too exaggerated."
Steve Rogers' voice came through the earpiece with a hint of helplessness, "No one asked you to look, Tony."
Scott Lang, who had turned into Ant-Man, chimed in, "I think it looks great, Captain. It's the classic American Ass!"
Seeing this, the audience outside the screen couldn't help but burst into laughter. Natasha chuckled and said, "Captain, I think Tony's assessment is oddly accurate..... your physique is indeed quite impressive."
Steve Rogers rolled his eyes, "Are they discussing such a trivial topic during a critical mission? Aren't they too sluggish?"
Scott Lang laughed, "Being constantly tense isn't good. Relaxing a bit is conducive to completing the mission efficiently!"
At this point, the video on the screen showed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents appearing. They confiscated the Scepter, and Ant-Man, who didn't know much about these people, asked about their background.
Future Tony Stark quipped, "They're S.H.I.E.L.D., but in reality, they're HYDRA. However, at that time, no one knew this."
Scott Lang exclaimed, "How is that possible? They don't look like good guys at all!"
It was indeed absurd. Despite being an official organization serving the country's stability, it had been infiltrated from top to bottom by an evil organization.
Nick Fury on Earth, upon seeing this, his face turns unpleasing. He said in a deep voice, "Coulson, I think we should strengthen the screening and cleaning of S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
After the truth about S.H.I.E.L.D. being equivalent to a branch of HYDRA was exposed in the previous round of the quiz game, they immediately launched a massive purge. At this point, almost all the key figures in HYDRA had been eliminated.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had also undergone a significant change in personnel. However, seeing this dark history being brought up again felt like a fresh wound to Nick Fury. He felt as if ants were crawling all over him.
"Damn it, HYDRA's resilience is too strong; they always manage to rise from the ashes!"
Nick Fury's right-hand agent, Coulson, shrugged, "Boss, I think it doesn't matter anymore. Most of the troubles in our world are now handled by the Avengers. And Our world's troubles that are beyond us are taken care of by the Defenders, like Batman and Superman."
In other words, S.H.I.E.L.D. was no longer as necessary as before...
Nick Fury gave him a stern look, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has played a significant role. Look, in the normal timeline, without S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers lost their connection and restraint, resulting in their eventual split!"
'Clever boss, he's keeping S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to request more funding from above while secretly developing secret weapons and conducting secret research. It sounds like S.H.I.E.L.D. indeed plays an irreplaceable role...'
Coulson silently condemned in his mind but nodded in agreement, "You're right, boss."
