บท 316: Being Slapped in the Face Again
The new question is, who would flee in the face of danger during the time travel mission?
Thor, upon seeing that one of the options below the question was himself, immediately expressed that he could be excluded because his bravery as the God of Thunder was well known, and there was no need for explanations.
Facing the formidable Thanos, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Captain America were all unreliable. Only Thor inflicted serious damage on him and eventually chopped off his head with an axe, completing the revenge.
Unless someone is blind, anyone can see that from the previous video that Thor is not afraid of war.
Tony Stark scoffed at this, and Thor, seeing his reaction, was furious and was about to retort when Nebula, who had been silent, added, "You're afraid. Thanos has left a deep psychological scar on you. I can understand that."
Thor rebuked angrily, "It's a joke to say that I'm afraid of Thanos!"
Nebula glanced at him, "Indeed, you killed him, but the one who died at your hands wasn't the real Thanos. Thanos's mission was to fulfil his insane plan, and that was the purpose and value of his existence. When he completed his mission and plan... he was already DEAD."
Tony Stark chimed in somewhat surprised, "Nebula is right, Thor. Think about it, without Thanos destroying his Infinity Stones, could you have easily chopped off his head? Rather than saying Thanos was killed by you, it's more accurate to say that he died by his own choice. Thanos had already seen the new world he dreamed of."
Thor clenched his teeth and glared at him but couldn't come up with a counterargument. He could only insist, "In any case, the answer to this question cannot be me!"
Tony Stark shrugged, "To be honest, I don't think you're the answer either, but seeing how confident you are, I suddenly wanted to give it a try. Similar situations seem to have happened before, right? I'll vote for Thor, and what about you, Nebula?"
Nebula nodded, "I'll vote for him too."
Tony Stark laughed, "See, Thor, the majority rules. Let's go with 'A' for this question."
Thor was fuming.
On the other side, Team B also discussed how to answer this question.
Natasha Romanoff frowned, "Based on the information from the previous video, it's difficult to analyze the answer to this question. What can be confirmed is that Thor has changed significantly before and after the battle with Thanos, but it's understandable... after all, that disaster changed too much."
Scott Lang glanced at her, "Are you saying that the answer to this question might be 'A'?"
He scratched his head, "But in my memory, Thor should be a... very brave guy. He killed Thanos, didn't he?"
Steve Rogers crossed his arms, "I think this question should be narrowed down to choices 'a,' 'b,' 'c,' and 'd' can be eliminated first. After all, Clint didn't participate in the quiz game this time, and based on the previous quiz game performances, many questions are directly related to the players."
Natasha nodded, "Exactly, I think among these three options, Thor has the highest suspicion... he's been extremely unpredictable and emotionally unstable."
Steve Rogers thought for a moment, "Alright, let's go with 'A' for this question!"
Almost simultaneously, the countdown for answering appeared on the screen. Both teams rushed to press the answer buttons. This time, Natasha successfully got the chance to answer first and without hesitation, she chose 'A'
Tony Stark also chose 'A' and couldn't resist teasing Thor, "See, Thor, Natasha and Steve think the same way."
Thor grumbled with a scowling face, "You'll regret this. There's no way I would flee in the face of danger!"
Tony Stark chuckled, "Sometimes excessive confidence isn't a good thing, Thor. If I remember correctly, you've been slapped in the face by the quiz game many times before, haven't you?"
Thor persisted, "This time is different! I'm not a coward!"
They waited for the quiz game to give the correct answer. Soon it was revealed.
[The correct answer is: A: Thor odinson]
[Congratulations to team B for the correct answer and gaining 4 Points]
[Congratulations to team A for the correct answer and gaining 1 point]
After the scoreboard vanished, the video continued.
The scene on the screen was the magnificent Asgardian palace, and it then transitioned to a dungeon where Loki was imprisoned. Many viewers would immediately recall that this was the time point just before the events of Ragnarok.
Loki had been imprisoned by King Odin for his failed invasion of Earth, and at this very time, Asgard faced a crisis as the Dark Elves secretly invaded, an event that eventually led to the death of the Queen.
Outside the cell, Thor, now with a stout physique, walked past stealthily, followed by a tail-wagging Rocket Raccoon. Both of them seemed to be sneaking around like thieves.
"Haha, Thor, you're back home, but you look like a thief. It's quite amusing!"
"I remember this time; the Dark Elves invaded Asgard and caused a lot of destruction. The Queen died because of it. Maybe the Crown Prince can change this tragedy?"
"Can't you use your brain to look carefully? They're time-traveling not to change the past but to collect Infinity Stones! That's the most important!"
"So, are we just going to watch the tragedy happen? The Crown Prince knows that all of this can be changed..."
Viewers outside discussed the situation, while on the screen, Thor and Rocket Raccoon had hidden behind a pillar, and their target was an Earth woman—Jane Foster.
In the original timeline, she was Thor's girlfriend and coincidentally obtained the Reality Stone.
Rocket Raccoon proposed a plan, "Listen, we'll do this. Fatty, you go and lure that woman. I'll sneak up from behind and give her a shot to extract the Reality Stone, and then we'll make a run for it!"
Thor took a deep breath, "I'll be right back. The wine cellar is downstairs. My father used to have barrels of wine there. I'll see if I can sneak a couple of drinks from the kitchen."
He spoke while moving in the opposite direction. Rocket Raccoon was left dumbfounded, "Hey, haven't you had enough to drink by now?"
Tony Stark laughed when he saw this, "Thor, I knew it, you've been slapped in the face once again!"
Thor was somewhat bewildered at this moment, staring with wide eyes. He didn't quite understand why his future self would act so despondent and even flee in the face of danger. After all, he hadn't experienced many of these events, and even though he had seen those future videos, they weren't the same as experiencing them firsthand.
He could only insist, "No, what can this explain? Ha, my future self just likes to drink..."
Tony Stark shrugged, "See, later you won't be able to say a word."
In the video, just as Thor was having second thoughts about retreating, he suddenly saw someone passing by. Thor and Rocket Raccoon quickly hid themselves and observed stealthily. They saw Queen Frigga and a group of handmaidens appearing in the corridor across from them.
บท 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."
