Chapter 966: Dilemma (Two in One)
"Marvel Cinematic Universe"
Nine years after Thanos snapped his fingers.
Under the power of the [Infinity Gauntlet], half of the creatures in the universe were annihilated in an instant and turned into sand, which was blown away by the wind.
This is a terrible disaster.
When Thanos snapped his fingers, he set the target to randomly destroy half of all life.
Half seems fair, but there are always those unlucky ones.
Old Ant-Man Dr. Pym Hank, all his family members are dead, leaving only his son-in-law Scott Lang who has not yet passed away.
Hawkeye Clint Barton, maybe all the good luck is concentrated on him alone, and there is a 50% chance that his entire family will be taken away.
Thor Odinson (a parallel universe) lost his father, mother, girlfriend, brother, friends, and his people in that disaster.
They can be said to be a group of people in this era who are naturally unwilling to be appointed when faced with such a situation.
In the territory of Western World, in a secret base of Iron Man Tony Stark.
Iron Man Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, Hawkeye Clint Barton, Ant-Man Scott Lang, Scarlet Witch Wanda Maxim.
Five people who lost their loved ones everything gathered together.
at this time,
The five people looked excited and stared intently at a square gem emitting deep purple light on the glass table.
There is a faint purple mist lingering around the gem, which is the [Cosmic Spirit Orb - Power Gem] among the six Infinity Gems.
Relying on their foresight, they traveled to the planet Xandar in outer space and obtained this beautiful gem.
Everyone couldn't help but get excited about getting this gem.
"If everything goes so smoothly, then our goal will be achieved right before our eyes." Thor said happily.
Iron Man Tony Scatter shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, this operation was not smooth. We only obtained one gem in that parallel world, but consumed twelve [Pym Particles].
If Scott hadn't used the last two Pym particles to go to the parallel world and steal enough Pym particles from Hank Pym's laboratory, we would have failed."
After these words were spoken, everyone who had been excited just now became tense again.
Wanda, who had practiced the Darkhold, said with a fierce look on her face: "If the hateful Thanos hadn't appeared at that time, we would have had two Infinity Stones in our hands."
Hey!
Everyone sighed.
Wanda, who has practiced the [Darkside Book], still lacks confidence in the battle with Thanos. All the strong people in her world fight against him, but in the end they are all defeated.
Wanda could barely deal with Thanos who didn't have the gems, but she was a little overwhelmed when facing Thanos who had the gems.
Thanos' development direction is mainly as a warrior, but he also has some knowledge of magic and technology. Many magics are difficult to have the effect of longevity on him.
The Thor in this parallel world is not as good as the Thor in Avengers 3, mainly because he has no chance to grow at all.
Because of Wang Ming, a mad Thanos set his sights on himself. In the timeline of Thor, when Thor was exiled to Earth, Thanos broke into Asgard with five Infinity Stones, killed the weakened Odin, and then slaughtered the entire Aesir clan.
It is countless times more difficult for the reboot team to obtain the gems than in the original plot.
Because they come from different cosmic dimensions, they cannot accurately locate the moment in their past when they were closest to the gems.
All you can do is make the time node as close to what you want as possible.
Iron Man Tony Stark said solemnly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go to another world immediately to grab the remaining gems."
The others didn't see any point in hearing this and immediately opened the quantum teleportation channel. A strong white light appeared and they disappeared into the secret base.
after an hour,
The room suddenly lit up with white light.
"Ahem!!! Damn it!"
Several people appeared in the room with bad looks on their faces.
The time period of the world that Tony Stark and his companions went to was wrong.
It was when Thanos collected the last [Mind Stone]. As soon as they appeared, Thanos snapped his fingers. If they hadn't escaped quickly, they would not have been able to come back.
After a short rest, head to the parallel space.
········
Marvel's Mutant World
Thanos was originally going to clean up the world.
He has died in this world and suffered great losses. Those are not good memories.
However, because Wang Ming kept provoking Thanos outside and leading him for a walk like a dog, there was no danger in this world.
The racial conflicts between ordinary people and mutants remain acute.
In this regard, there was no change in people because of Wang Ming.
Mutants and ordinary people actually have two different development directions at their root, and it is impossible for them to coexist harmoniously.
An ordinary person works hard and then passes it down for three generations, thus making his family capital, which can just enslave and exploit other ordinary people. As a result, at this time, one of the people he enslaves awakens his ability and instantly breaks the shackles that the secular society has put on him. How can capital tolerate such a thing? How can they be willing to accept that after working hard for several generations, they will be mutated overnight?
If an ordinary person awakens his ability, will they be willing to continue to work 996, continue to accept oppression, and continue to live the so-called life of the lower class? With a sharp weapon in hand, the desire to kill will arise...
The path for ordinary people is to accumulate power and wealth to gain a better status.
The mutant route is to develop abilities and bloodlines, gaining status through individual strength.
This is not a conflict between two races at all, but a collision between two values and world patterns.
Mutants are also a disappointing group.
They were already few in number, and ended up being divided into different individuals who were hostile to each other.
There are three groups of mutants: Xavier's School for Talented Mutants, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and the Hellfire Club.
The Brotherhood of Mutants is an organization led by Magneto Eric Lansherr. They are a group of radical mutants who can only change the status of mutants through force.
The Hellfire Club is controlled by some mutants whose abilities and social status far exceed those of ordinary people. Most of them do things for their own interests.
Xavier School for the Gifted, where most of the mutants are relatively peaceful, hoping to gain living space through negotiation and compromise. Wang Ming appeared at the door of Xavier School for the Mutants.
The predecessor of the college was Xavier Manor, the ancestral property of Professor X, which was renovated by him and turned into a school.
This school only recruits mutants, allowing mutants to grow better here.
Not every mutant has the power to destroy the world; most of them are ostracized by society.
The school's principal, Professor Charles Francis Xavier, provided them with such a shelter.
In the principal's office of Xavier's Mutant Academy.
Charles, who was teaching students, suddenly closed the book, whispered a few words to the students, and asked them to leave the room.
Professor X, Charles, was only in his thirties at this time. He still had his black hair and was not bald, but his face clearly showed some signs of vicissitudes.
"Mr. Loki, I haven't seen you for nine years and you are still so young. It's really enviable!" Charles said to Wang Ming from a distance.
Because of Wang Ming's intrusion, Charles, who should have been paralyzed in his lower limbs and sitting in a wheelchair, is now still able to walk briskly.
"If you are willing to give up everything to pursue immortality, it is not impossible." Wang Ming said casually.
There is no shortage of mutants with long lifespans in this world. As long as we do some research, extending their lifespan will be a small problem.
and,
Charles already possessed the means to achieve immortality.
His super powers do not come from his blood, but are produced by his resonance with the rules of heaven and earth, so his body can be discarded at any time and he can survive by getting a new one.
The original plot had him physically destroyed by Phoenix Qin, and then Charles' consciousness went to the hospital to take over the body of his comatose twin brother.
So he is old and he can solve the problem of aging simply by changing his body.
Charles just smiled when he heard this. He didn't answer Wang Ming directly, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Loki, is there anything you need me to do for you this time?"
Wang Ming nodded and said, "That's right! Find Wolverine Logan for me, and where else can I find [Adamantium] in this world."
Charles asked in confusion: "Mr. Loki, do you need [Adamantium]? Logan is a very kind compatriot. It is too cruel for you to directly extract his bones."
Wang Mingdao: [Adamantium] did increase Logan's combat effectiveness, but Adamantium is poisonous. He was roughly injected with liquid Adamantium by Stryker. Although he survived, he had already been poisoned by heavy metals. It was just that his [self-healing factor] superpower was still at its peak at this time, so he was able to withstand the erosion of the metal.
But as he gets older, it will only make him more miserable.”
Charles acquiesced.
Although he has not seen the ending of Future Logan, he is an intelligent man with a high level of education.
Metals are placed in the human body all year round and are wrapped and corroded by body fluids. It is normal for the metals to produce chemical reactions and toxins. It would be abnormal if toxins did not appear.
From the beginning, Stryker never took mutants for granted, but rather as monsters, so he never thought about what would happen to Logan in the future.
···········
The Reboot Squad is in trouble.
The node of the world they came to was very wrong.
Even better would be the time period after Thanos snapped his fingers.
"Tony, what should we do? We only have five tubes of [Pym Particles] for us to use. If we go back, we will have no chance at all." Ant-Man Scott Lang said impatiently.
What's worse is that the [Pym Particles] in their bodies have been used up, but Dr. Pym, who can produce [Pym Particles], is dead.
They were caught in a dilemma.
Tony Stark had a gloomy face and said nothing, but there was a struggle in his eyes.
Scarlet Witch Wanda Maxim, wearing a lace headband, had black fingertips on all ten of her fingers. She practiced the Darkhold and was influenced by the dark power. Her personality was already very extreme, and now she was even more out of control after hearing this news. She said with a murderous look, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Let's just go and kill Thanos. He just happens to have six gems in his hand."
Ant-Man Scott Lang immediately comforted Wanda after hearing this: "Don't be impulsive, Wanda, you know Thanos's horror better than we do."
The red power in Scarlet Witch's pupils slowly subsided. What she said just now was indeed impulsive.
"No! Wanda is right, we're going to rob Thanos."
"Why are you here again?" Ant-Man Scott Lang was just about to complain about who had gone crazy again, but when he turned around, he found that the person who was speaking was Iron Man Tony Stark.
"Are you serious?" Scott Lang asked.
Iron Man Tony Stark slowly walked out of the team, then turned to face everyone and said: "We have no choice, we will return to the original world, and when the [Pym particles] are exhausted, we will lose our last chance.
I don't want to stay in this world without Pepper and Morgan any longer. We still have a chance to kill Thanos, but even if the chance is slim, it's better to live in endless pain. "
The others were silent after hearing this, and memories quickly emerged in their minds.
The fact that they are here shows that they are extremely sentimental and cannot let go of the past.
"I have no objection to taking a gamble and snatching the gems from Thanos, but I don't agree to go without any hope of winning." Hawkeye Clint Barton said seriously.
After a struggle in his heart, Thor Odinson said, "You go ahead. I will go to Nidavellir to find the dwarf king of this world to make a magic weapon for me."
This Thor had his base robbed by the Purple Potato Spirit in "Thor: Origins", and he didn't develop at all. His strength is only at the planetary level. In the same team, he is stronger than Scarlett Johansson and Hawkeye.
Iron Man Tony Sketak nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be quick. According to information from other worlds, Thanos will snap his fingers and destroy the six Infinity Stones in three days."
Thor Odinson said: "If... I haven't arrived... then you don't have to wait for me."
After saying this, Thor turned around and left the team.
The others looked at Thor's back and sighed. They knew the situation of "Nidavellir" at that time.
The neutron star furnace of the dwarves is broken. If Thor wants to defeat Thanos's artifact, he must be like the Thor in other worlds and use his flesh god to withstand the power of the neutron star in order to successfully obtain the weapon.
Iron Man Tony said to the rest of the people: "I will go prepare the spaceship, if you have anything to prepare, hurry up."
Hawkeye Clint Barton placed his hand on the cowhide-wrapped quiver on his back, and he couldn't help but feel more confident.
