Chapter 540: Temple II VS Temple II
Chapter 540: Temple II VS Temple II
According to the 2012 timeline, it is not easy to get the remaining three Infinity Stones.
The Soul Gem needs to go to Fomir to sacrifice a loved one.
He turned around and looked at Gamora and Natasha who were playing the game and waiting to receive the reward after completing the game. There was no hope for this otaku.
The location of the real gems is difficult to determine, and it will take at least until 2013, when the plot of "Thor 2" begins.
The Time Stone is in the hands of the Ancient One. Even though Tan Wenjie now possesses the Power Stone that can blow up almost any enemy standing in front of him, it is difficult for him to catch the opponent.
As a positive character, he would definitely not attack the Ancient One who is in the same camp.
"So, why haven't I left this world yet?"
Even if the mission had failed, he should have been kicked out of this world without any reward. He had even made plans to enter again immediately after being kicked out.
But now I'm trapped here without any warning.
"Uh."
Nebula suddenly began to twitch.
"Even if you are not allowed to use your brain to cheat in games, you don't have to do this." Tan Wenjie walked to Xingyun strangely, watching her body twisted into a knot, squatted down and poked her lightly with his finger, "Are you still alive?"
"Ugh!!" Xingyun's body trembled violently and rolled on the spot, "I, I saw it!"
Tan Wenjie's expression was serious: "Auntie Mei!"
The ghost virus quickly invaded Nebula's brain and followed the signal in a very "gentle" way.
Then, blurred images appeared inside the cabin.
It was Nebula, and she seemed to be in some cramped, shabby little spaceship, talking to someone.
Tan Wenjie instantly understood what was going on. It should be that the Avengers from the "future" who had been snapped by Thanos were looking for an opportunity to turn the tables, hoping to travel through time and get the six Infinity Stones.
In the Marvel Universe, traveling through time does not take you back to the past, because time always moves forward, so you can only go to the future.
Every time you travel through time, a new parallel universe is created.
But one thing is wrong. According to the plot, Nebula is responsible for getting the Power Stone. She needs to go to Morlag in 2014 and snatch the orb from Star-Lord.
The time now is 2012, and... the entire planet of Morag has been destroyed by Tan Wenjie himself.
……
Morag.
When Nebula and War Machine, who were part of the Power Gem robbery team, arrived here in their spaceship, they only saw a ruined and collapsed planet.
The fragments are suspended in the universe.
There are huge meteorite groups around, which, without the pull of the planet's gravity, are like fireworks that explode with a bang, maintaining their blooming posture, and are frozen in the black universe.
"How long?" War Machine asked.
The universe is not absolutely safe. Even if they come from the future, there are countless powerful people in the universe, so they should act more carefully to avoid making mistakes.
They didn't leave enough Pym particles that could travel through time, and now they only have enough left to go back.
Xingyun's expression was solemn: "We're here."
"What?" War Machine thought he had misheard. "You told an American joke?"
After spending so much time with Iron Man Tony, he became very immune to some jokes, and Nebula's joke just now was not funny.
"This is...Morague!"
Nebula took a deep breath. She could sense a fear coming from the depths of her soul. A planet was destroyed, and this had never happened before in history. There was only one possibility - the Power Stone had been taken away by someone.
It was nothing but a pipe dream for them to want to snatch the gems back from such a powerful man.
Search aimlessly, or simply give up and choose to go to 2014.
Just as they were hesitating, there was a sudden flash of light in front of them, and the terrifying vehicle that Nebula was so familiar with that it suffocated him crossed the blue wormhole and successfully jumped in front of them.
The dead planet seemed to sense something, and the rubble turned into meteors, rushing towards the surroundings the moment the spaceship appeared.
"Temple II..." Nebula muttered to herself.
Not only Nebula, even the War Machine on the side opened his eyes wide. They were from 2023 and would never forget that crushing battle.
Thanos drove this mobile fortress in the universe and snatched the six infinity stones in the universe with a devastating manner and embedded them in the glove.
With a snap of his fingers, half of the people in the universe disappeared.
And now they are very likely to face Thanos in his prime again.
"Run!" Xingyun's voice was stretched to be very sharp.
Several spaceships that flew out of the mobile fortress quickly surrounded and intercepted them. The gap between the two sides in space warfare was unimaginable.
The other party forced the spacecraft to dock, the hatch opened, and two figures walked over.
When she saw them clearly, Nebula almost instinctively raised her weapon. She knew very well that neither she nor Gamora in 2012 would betray Thanos, and they were Thanos' most loyal daughters.
"Is this my future self?" Xingyun looked at himself from the future and tilted his head to look at him.
Gamora said, "We have limited time."
The two sides fought, with Gamora dealing with War Machine and Nebula colliding with Nebula.
The future version of Nebula believes that he has stronger weapons and more combat experience, and should be able to win if facing himself nearly 10 years ago.
However, he did not expect that the moment the two sides came into contact, the future Nebula was knocked down by the opponent's flexible whip kick. There was a huge power gap between the two sides.
Falling to the ground, looking at the gun pointed at her head, Future Nebula chose to raise her leg and sweep... Unexpectedly, the sweep was like kicking an iron pillar, and the recoil force made her legs make a "cracking" sound.
The battle is over.
They were escorted back to the cabin of the Sanctuary II.
It was a familiar position, with a huge chair facing away from the door. Nebula from the future looked at the chair. In the past, the sons of Thanos might have stood there.
It's just not clear why they didn't show up.
The chair turned and Xingyun's eyes suddenly widened.
He was a man with a leisurely posture.
"Who are you?" Nebula asked, "Where is Thanos?"
The situation was completely beyond her imagination. The imagined father-daughter reunion scene did not appear, but Thanos' position was replaced by a completely unfamiliar man.
This might really be going to happen.
"Thanos? He's dead in Morag."
"..."
War Machine on the side fixed his eyes on the Mind Scepter in the other's hand, which was the Mind Gem. According to the time calculation, Loki should be taking the Mind Scepter to Earth now, and using the Mind Scepter to control Hawkeye, steal the Cosmic Cube to open the portal, and let the Chitauri Army attack the Earth.
In order to save the world, the Avengers gathered for the first time, laying the foundation for future cooperation in protecting the earth.
However, the current situation...the Mind Gem is actually in the other party's hands.
So what should the other team do that goes to Earth to get the Mind Stone and the Space Stone?
Something has gone terribly wrong with the mission and their plan to save the world may fail completely.
"Rod!"
"Natasha?"
Hearing the familiar voice, War Machine subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar figure approaching.
Nebula from the future also looked over. They acted together with Black Widow, but the difference was that Black Widow and Hawkeye went to take the Soul Stone.
So the Black Widow here might be the 2012 version.
It seems that things are not as bad as imagined, at least they still have their own people.
When I saw the Black Widow actually walk up to the man.
Two people: "..."
No, there is something seriously wrong with this world.
……
Earth.
Several figures appeared.
Looking at the ruins, one of them sighed: "The Battle of New York feels so long ago."
"Was our fight so intense back then?" the bearded man with glasses asked the shy and honest green guy beside him.
"It was Hulk who dominated my body at the time," the green guy said. "We didn't know each other very well, and I don't remember what happened."
"Okay, but remember our first goal is to get the Cosmic Cube, the Mind Stone, and the Time Stone."
Because people can harvest three gems at one time, the most people came in 2012.
"What time is it now? Isn't there going to be a problem?" Captain America asked.
“It’s our first time using it, but we definitely won’t.”
Iron Man turned his head left and right.
The current situation is very different from what they imagined, where the Chitauri would attack from all directions and the Avengers would work together to fight the enemy.
The sky was blue, and the air had no burning smell left by the explosion. It seemed as if this place was just a deserted battlefield that had long been abandoned.
"What is this, a cordon?"
"It means there are SHIELD agents nearby. Be careful and try not to have too much contact with people from this era."
"Guys, look what this is?" Iron Man suddenly pointed at a car nearby, which had marks left by several people smashing it. "Wow, one of them has a nice butt."
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Captain America.
team leader:"……"
“I don’t remember this happening,” he explained.
"Perhaps you could try it with your butt, a tight fit?"
"Fuck, Tony!"
"Don't say bad words, Captain."
"It's been so many years, I knew it..." The captain raised his hand to indicate that he lost.
Moral standards must not be set too high in the future, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to swear.
"Guys, something doesn't feel right to me."
When they came to the vicinity of Stark Tower and tried to take away the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter, they found that everything was normal.
There was no tension and everyone was working as usual.
The Hulk rushed to the Sanctuary of the Holy Sanctuary in advance, hoping to use "talk" to make the Sorcerer Supreme hand over the Time Stone.
The rest of the people went into the building. When they entered the building, almost everyone looked over.
"Hi." Iron Man raised his hand to greet, and stopped an employee casually, "Have you seen me?"
"Boss, what do you mean?" Someone asked puzzled.
"Seeing me in the building today?"
"Uh, of course not. After you saved the world a while ago, you went on vacation to Europe."
"It sounds like I'm really good, always so relaxed." His mind raced.
Leading the captain upstairs, Iron Man lowered his voice and said, "There's a big problem."
"We have to figure out what happened and whether we came at the wrong time." The captain nodded.
They can get three gems at the same time during this time period, but if something unexpected happens, it means that their hope of completing the plan is slim.
Iron Man came to his office by face recognition.
Deal with employees with a smile along the way.
Turn around and close the door.
"Jarvis?" He sat in the chair, feeling the familiarity.
The decor has changed several times.
"Sir." Jarvis's mechanical voice sounded.
"It's good to have you around, old friend."
Tony couldn't help but sigh.
In his time, Jarvis had left him and was completely dead in a sense. Although he was not short of new "butlers", Jarvis' position was difficult to replace, otherwise he could easily create Jarvis No. 2.
Jarvis' voice came: "I'm always here, sir."
"Of course I know you can, Jarvis, help me retrieve the data about the Chitauri invasion of Earth." Tony quickly got into the state, "I need to know what happened."
However, Jarvis's answer was very dull: "I don't understand what you mean, sir."
He looked at Captain America and both of them saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
The changes are so great that they may have come to the wrong place.
"Jarvis, what about those traces of war in New York?" Tony asked.
"alien."
“Give me all the information.”
"Yes."
Thanos' donut ship, Gamora, the captured Loki, the mysterious man called Jay, the commander of the Black Order, etc., followed by SHIELD falling into trouble, the failure of the Avengers to form, and the superheroes scattered again to fight on their own.
After quickly reading the information, the two fell into silence.
"We should act decisively," Captain America said, "Go to other timelines to get the gems. The Cosmic Cube has always been on Earth."
"But without the Mind Stone."
In this timeline, the Mind Gem did not appear at all, but among all the information they had, the Mind Gem only appeared in the Battle of New York.
The only other option left is...find Thanos and take the Mind Stone from him.
This is tantamount to wishful thinking.
When everyone gathered together, they faced Thanos, who had completely lost his fighting spirit. In earlier timelines, Thanos had always been a terrifying and terrifying character in the universe, and they had to avoid each other as much as possible.
"We should now..." The captain hesitated.
The situation has developed in the worst direction, and no matter how much progress others make, they have lost the possibility of turning defeat into victory.
……
In the deep space, the combination of nebula and war machine is staring at each other.
After a series of half-hearted explanations, the two people who rushed from the future to the present finally understood the cause and effect.
Jay, a top warrior valued by Thanos, received a mission from Thanos to reclaim the Space Stone. However, no one expected that Black Widow looked exactly like his beloved. Then he was awakened by love and decided to betray Thanos. He eventually destroyed Thanos and took control of the entire Sanctuary II instead of him.
The story is not complicated, and even Nebula and War Machine saw the shadows of many people from above.
For example, the Winter Soldier lost consciousness and was controlled, but was eventually awakened because of the love of his best friend... True love is invincible, and to be a superhero you have to accept this setting.
But why had they never heard of such a strong man suddenly appearing?
"That means he now has the Space Stone, the Mind Stone, and the Power Stone." War Machine quietly turned his head and glanced at Tan Wenjie in the distance.
His friends may return empty-handed, but they can still bring hope back, provided Jay is willing to agree to help them, after all, those are the three Infinity Stones.
"Why don't you go talk to yourself?" War Machine suggested.
"You're crazy. I know myself very well now." Nebula said in a low voice, "Now I must only think about revenge for Thanos. I'm a complete lunatic! You should find Natasha. You two seem to be very familiar with each other."
"But Natasha and I were not familiar with each other at this time."
Since Black Widow chose to abandon S.H.I.E.L.D. and follow Jay to the universe, it means that the other party is really important, so important that she is willing to follow him and wander around.
The two fell silent: "..."
After much deliberation, they finally decided to ask Jay for help directly, and then vowed to return the gem intact.
"Don't bother." Tan Wenjie said, "I will accompany you to the future."
Thanos is dead, and a snap of fingers saves the world.
There was no danger and he could get the other three Infinity Stones at once. There was no reason for him to give up.
The two future people looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
There are Black Widow and Gamora, and they think the other party should be on the side of justice.
……
Avengers Base, 2023.
Fat God Thor and Rocket Raccoon returned first with the Reality Stone.
He lost his hammer during the Ragnarok when his father Odin died, but this time he went back and got it back in advance.
With Meowth Hammer in his left hand and Stormbreaker in his right hand, Thor now feels very powerful, terrifyingly powerful.
"Haha! We are the first." Thor excitedly raised his palm towards Rocket Raccoon, wanting to have a chance to clash with his not-so-satisfactory partner.
Rocket Raccoon held his forehead helplessly: "Everyone will return to this point in time."
"Really?" Thor turned around and saw Iron Man, Captain America and the Hulk. "You're right! They are really back, as well as Barton and Natasha?"
"I brought the gem back." Hawkeye took out the Soul Gem, but did not say a word about Black Widow's whereabouts.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Apparently the way to get the gem is bloody and comes at a price.
The Hulk also took out a green stone, which was the Time Stone.
"Tony? Captain?"
"We failed," the captain said. "We went to New York in 2012, but it was a completely different world where Thanos was dead and someone took the Mind Stone and the Space Stone."
They were forced to return empty-handed.
Boom!
A voice suddenly came, and everyone instinctively turned their heads to look outside. A huge spaceship that was familiar to everyone present was floating in the sky.
It was like a huge pot lid covering the sky and the sun, blocking out all the light that could be seen.
"not good!"
Boom! !
The spaceship fired shells and hit the Avengers base as soon as possible.
Iron Man immediately deployed his nano armor and used his shield to block the attack in front of him. Captain America followed closely, followed by Thor and the Hulk.
Others who were not physically strong enough to withstand the force chose to dodge and preserve their strength.
"Thanos, when did he come from? Damn it!"
The timeline is completely messed up, and everything we knew before is no longer of reference value.
The flames of the explosion completely overturned the base, and the scattered rubble turned into sharp bullets, slicing towards his cheeks one by one.
Finally, with a loud "boom", Thor knocked over the rubble and successfully broke the "skylight" to create an escape passage, avoiding being buried alive.
When several people crawled out of the ruins, they saw only countless vanguards of the Dark Cult, war monsters with sharp fangs and claws, and huge monsters, coming like a tide.
And in the back, Thanos was holding his weapon, looking over with a contemptuous look.
"Damn it!"
The gems have not been gathered together, Thanos has already reached their doorstep, and their side is at an absolute disadvantage.
For Thanos, who came from some unknown timeline, the three Infinity Stones were right in front of him, which saved him a lot of effort and made the trip worthwhile.
"Ahem, Tony, how did you manage to be earthquake-proof?"
A familiar voice came.
Iron Man turned and looked at the familiar figure—Rhodes!
They did not see Rhodes and Nebula among the people who came back. At that time, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this matter, which meant that something had happened to Morrag, who should have been harmless.
But everyone is missing a lot of gems, and there is no obvious difference between missing two and missing three.
"I'm glad you came back alive." Iron Man said, "But we may have to face Thanos again."
A younger, more ambitious Thanos in his prime.
Now that Captain Marvel is gone, there is absolutely no one on Earth who can stop Thanos.
"Of course I have to come back alive, Tony." War Machine Rhodes pointed behind him, "And I also brought you a chance to survive."
"boom!"
A beam of fire slanted down from the sky towards the dark legion's vanguard on the ground, and a dazzling flame burst out.
The sudden change attracted the attention of everyone present.
The Avengers turned and looked behind them.
That is... the Temple II, which is also huge enough to block out the sky and the sun, confronting Thanos' vehicle in the air.
A Thanos who appeared from some unknown timeline was enough to give them a headache, but they didn't expect another one to appear!
Two Thanos?
But why would the two Thanos open fire on their own people?
"Rhode?"
"Thank you for your help." Rhodes turned and nodded to the friendly Temple II, "Great Dark Lord."
