บท 398: Chapter 398: The Seventh Infinity Stone!
Tony's analysis made sense, and the more the others thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
First off, the idea of Tunxing, a male god, being pregnant was peculiar. If one took Tony's suggestion and thought of Tunxing as a goddess instead, it became easier to understand.
After all, for the Earthlings present, childbirth was typically the domain of women, a common sense fact.
If one were to continue along this line of thought, even a goddess shouldn't spontaneously conceive a child, so...
Who is the father of the child?
This question seemed increasingly horrifying upon deeper contemplation.
Why did Tunxing, in his final moments, instruct Silver Surfer to deliver Gannata to Earth to be cared for by Clark?
Moreover, the child's appearance was clearly that of an Easterner...
And compared to the rugged visage Tunxing had shown them, they felt Gannata looked more like Clark than Tunxing.
Combining all these speculations, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock!
However, amidst their astonishment, Doctor Strange oddly asked, "You didn't just call us all here to discuss these rumors, did you?"
Was Tony really the type to summon everyone just for gossip?
The crowd couldn't be sure about that.
Among those present, it seemed only Tony and Mr. Fantastic had met Tunxing. If this was just about gossip, shouldn't he have discussed it with those directly involved for a more immersive experience?
Wouldn't telling this story to people who hadn't experienced these events or seen Tunxing themselves be uninteresting to others, let alone himself?
Upon hearing this, Tony perked up and shook his head immediately: "The previous topic was just an interesting speculation. What we need to discuss with you concerns saving the multiverse!"
The group was instantly revitalized by Tony's declaration: "In fact, besides the corpse of that Celestial, I found this in the palm of the Celestial's hand..."
As he spoke, Tony's Iron Man suit opened up to reveal a small black box the size of a matchbox, unremarkable at first glance.
However, anything held tightly in the palm of a dying Celestial's hand must be of significant importance!
This little box surely contained secrets capable of saving the multiverse!
Faced with the little box Tony presented, Doctor Strange first tried to use magic to peer into its secrets, even summoning the Eye of Agamotto, yet he could see nothing inside the box.
Clearly, this ordinary-looking box could withstand the scrutiny of the Eye of Agamotto!
"Why not give it to Clark?" The question was posed by Hulk, always straightforward in his thinking, he voiced the logical suggestion.
However, upon hearing this, Tony shook his head without hesitation: "We can't expect him to handle everything alone. I'm not trying to steal his thunder; I just think that while he's taking the lead in protecting Earth's safety, we should also do our part to alleviate some of the pressure."
"As for the secrets inside this little box, I've already figured out some clues, everyone come and take a look."
As he spoke, Tony placed the small box on the laboratory workbench and had Friday project its contents, explaining to the group: "I believe this little box is a piece of top-tier cosmic technology, similar to Earth's external hard drives or aircraft black boxes. If we can successfully decode the information inside, we will undoubtedly gain key insights we need."
The crowd immediately gathered around, each offering their own thoughts.
Among these top minds, except for Doctor Strange, all were scientists. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one, and with several top scientists working together, they managed to unlock the secrets of the black box within half an hour.
However, when they saw the dense golden runes inside, all the scientists were stumped.
What was this?
Who could tell us what all these cryptic codes meant?
Doctor Strange, who had been standing by, finally stepped forward with a gleam in his eye: "These are magical runes, the most fundamental script of the universe. Let me interpret these for everyone..."
After examining the magical runes carefully three times from start to finish, Doctor Strange finally spoke: "Tony was right; this information does indeed describe the methods to confront this disaster."
As soon as Doctor Strange spoke, he immediately drew the attention of everyone present. Tony's guess was indeed correct; it seemed that they were going to be key to saving the universe!
After pondering his words, Doctor Strange continued: "These texts do not mention the origin of this disaster, only that the enemy is a powerful group from beyond the multiverse."
"They possess the power to destroy the entire multiverse, and they are very keen to do so. The only thing that can truly frighten them is a deity, the God of Vengeance!"
"Clark?"
"It must be him." Doctor Strange nodded slightly, but then added:
"But right now, he is not in his fully empowered form as the God of Vengeance. To defeat the enemies coming from beyond our universe, he must be in his strongest form."
The crowd fell silent at this revelation.
The Celestial known as the Recorder had lost all memory of this crisis, and the content inside this black box was likely all the clues they had.
But...
What exactly does the strongest form of the God of Vengeance look like?
Seeing the crowd's confusion, Doctor Strange decided not to keep them in suspense and revealed the answer: "To achieve the complete form of the God of Vengeance, one must collect and fully inherit the power and laws of all the Infinity Stones!"
Professor X spoke incredulously: "Mr. Clark has already mastered the power of all six Infinity Stones, possessing unimaginable formidable strength, but you just mentioned that he is not yet in his strongest form as the God of Vengeance. What exactly does he need to become the God of Vengeance?"
"Refine all the Infinity Stones," Doctor Strange repeated, and as everyone thought he was stating the obvious, he added: "In fact, there are not just six Infinity Stones in the universe, but seven! It's just that the first phase of Infinity Stones does not exist in our universe but in another parallel universe."
Hearing this, Professor X exclaimed in surprise: "You mean the seventh Infinity Stone is in our universe?"
"Not exactly," Doctor Strange shook his head. "In the multiverse, which includes countless parallel universes, the data we have indicates that we are currently in universe number 199999, while the seventh Infinity Stone is located in universe number 1610."
As he spoke, Doctor Strange gestured, and an image of the six Infinity Stones appeared above the crowd: "In fact, as the foundation of the world, each parallel universe contains these six identical counterparts, just like the doppelgangers of significant figures in some universes. Only the seventh Infinity Stone is truly unique!"
"Strange Reborn, please hold on a moment." When it came to the Infinity Stones, Professor X suddenly interjected: "Why do Infinity Stones not exist in my universe?"
"I did not know the answer to that question myself until recently," Doctor Strange continued after a brief pause. "In fact, your universe and ours were originally one but were later split into two different parallel universes due to certain events."
"In our world, there are no mutants, and in your universe, there are no other superheroes or cosmic gods..."
After briefly addressing Professor X's doubts, Doctor Strange continued: "Regarding the location of universe 1610, I can only determine a rough coordinate, but getting there will require our own efforts. My proposal is to divide into two groups: Tony, Reed, Hank, and Banner, you four as the science team, looking for a way to cross parallel universes through scientific means."
"And I will work with Professor X through magical means to find a passage to universe 1610. This way, whether one side succeeds or not, we will have a chance to obtain the seventh Infinity Stone. Remember, the seventh Infinity Stone is in that universe, inside Tony Stark's brain. How exactly to obtain it, we can figure out once we find the spatial gateway."
Received an impression value of +99999 from Tony Stark!
To achieve Clark's deity status, do I really need to traverse the universe and go through great hardships just to open my own head?
This thought alone is enough to make one feel troubled!
Meanwhile, the science team began their intense research on crossing parallel universes, while Doctor Strange, aside from Professor X, also chose a mutant with whom he had the best synergy, Jean Grey. The trio entered a spatial rift.
Regarding the collaboration between Doctor Strange and Jean Grey, it actually started from a game. Initially, when the mutant Quicksilver knew how the Avengers had showcased their might at the Himalayan battlefield, making the mutants unable to raise their heads, he felt somewhat displeased.
He wanted to regain some face for the mutants!
But now that peace had been restored, regaining face could only be achieved through other means, such as settling the score in the newly developed "Superhero League" game.
Finding a way to provoke was next, and the target had to be neither too weak—making the victory meaningless—nor too strong—otherwise, it would be a self-inflicted humiliation.
Thus, combining the Avengers' performance on the battlefield and the special environment of the game, Quicksilver finally targeted Doctor Strange, known for his impaired hands.
Quicksilver, renowned for his speed and reaction ability, especially after being enhanced by Clark to nearly light-speed, challenged a nearly disabled Doctor Strange to a solo match!
What a shameless act!
But Quicksilver felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Not only did he think this way, but he also acted accordingly. He even sent the challenge directly to Doctor Strange.
Fortunately, Phoenix Woman Jean Grey discovered this in time and intervened to prevent this inhum
ane solo match, saving our comrade Strange.
Doctor Strange naturally expressed his gratitude, then he and Jean Grey teamed up for a 5V5 match, and they found they worked well together. From then on, they often teamed up, and now they had developed a certain understanding.
Thus, Phoenix Woman and Strange gradually formed a team in the game, known simply as...
