384. A dilemma

“... I don't know if it was 10,000 years ago or when. ”

"I don't know the exact time, but I can only tell you that before Asgard ruled the Nine Realms, the galaxy was ruled by a race called the 'Dark Elves'."

"And the weapon that the dark elves use to control the Nine Realms, called the 'Aether Particle', is a red liquid-like substance that can flow continuously."

"You may be a little unfamiliar with this name, so let me tell you another name that you are familiar with, and it is also called ...... Realistic Gems. ”

"Wait a minute!" Tony interrupted, "Reality Gem? One of the six Infinity Stones? ”

"That's right, one of the Infinity Stones." Victor nodded, "Can you not interrupt me?" I finally cleared my mind. ”

"OK, you continue."

"Where did you just come from?"

"Aether particles are also called reality gems."

"Yes, Reality Gem, as far as I know, the Dark Elves were not wiped out by Odin's father, and their leader, Malekith, fled at the last moment."

"As the former overlord of the Nine Realms, the level of science and technology is naturally top-notch, and its spaceship may not be strong in other aspects, but it is extremely good at hiding its whereabouts and covering up spatial coordinates."

"Even Heimdall, who claims to be able to see through every corner of the Nine Realms, has not discovered the whereabouts of the other party for thousands of years."

"Even though the dark elves are about to die, Malekith is not without a chance to turn the tables, and the Celestial Convergence is his last chance to turn the tables."

"The Celestial Convergence, also known as the Nine Realms Alignment, is a natural scene that can gather the nine life stars of the Milky Way on the earth in a certain space, and if Malekith appears with the Reality Gem at this time, he can easily use the Reality Gem to change and deprive the Nine Realms of light."

"The dark elves in the dark are invincible, and the other party doesn't need to do anything at all, and losing the light is enough to kill the vast majority of lifeforms in the Nine Realms."

"And the vacated living space will become the cradle of the dark elves, and the dark elves will not only be reborn, but will also grow stronger than ever."

"Tony, do you now understand why I'm doing this?"

A book-like rhetoric made Tony's eyes flicker.

He never doubted Victor's words, although Victor liked to scare himself, but Victor never joked about this kind of big right and wrong.

Other words

Earth, or the Nine Realms, is about to usher in a catastrophe, and if the plan of the lost dog Malekith succeeds, it will be even more terrifying than Thanos's success.

At least

Thanos only wiped out half of the life forms in the universe, and Malekith simply wanted to kill them all.

This must be unbearable!

"How can you be sure he'll be back this time?" Tony was still a little lucky: "What if he has to wait for next time?" ”

"Celestial convergence only happens once in thousands of years, he can't wait for the next opportunity, and his race can't wait, this is his only chance to turn the tables, will you be desperate? Or wait for death. ”

Tony frowned and didn't answer the no-choice question.

You don't need to choose at all!

After thinking for a moment,

Tony looked up and asked, "So, is the Reality Gem in his hands?" ”

Victor shook his head: "No, in fact, the Reality Gem is sealed on Earth, as the center of celestial convergence, we not only have to detect the occurrence of celestial convergence, but also defend against the invasion of dark elves at any time." ”

“S-H-I-Tīŧâ€ Tony couldn't help but scold: "Why are those people in Asgard sealed everything on Earth? The Cosmic Rubik's Cube was also dropped on Earth by them, right? ”

Victor shrugged his shoulders and didn't respond.

Tony vented his anger for a while, and then declared: "I understand that you told me this because you wanted me to be in charge of this, and I would join that Eric's research project, but you will have to take the lead when the time comes." ”

"Of course, I also want to see how strong the characters can make Odin's father feel troublesome." Victor stretched lazily: "Well, I think it's better to grab the reality gem directly, and there will be nothing in your own hands." ”

"By the way, speaking of which, where did you hide Thor's hammer?" Tony wondered, "I tried, and his hammer couldn't be put away with the Atomic Ring." ”

"Oh, that's a function of my plane merchant, which specializes in collecting and storing goods."

"So if you use this ability to hide the reality gem, won't anyone be able to find it?"

"Meet...... Probably no one will be able to find them unless they collect all six Infinity Stones. ”

"Bingo!" Tony snapped his fingers: "I see, then the first goal is to find the Reality Gem." ”

Victor smiled noncommittally.

Tony is willing to do free labor, and he is happy to be relaxed, what is there to oppose.

But

Although Tony is on this mission, he has no intention of leaving immediately.

He looked left and right and suggested, "Is it possible to have a party before I start my new job?" It's been a long time since we've been together, and it's all your damn No. 1 martial arts club in the world. ”

Hearing Tony's suggestion, Victor was stunned for a moment, then nodded that there was no problem.

"Alice, inform everyone, we will meet here tonight, and then I will take Thor's hammer for everyone to try to see who can lift it, and I am interested in coming by myself."

"No problem, the invitation has been sent."

Tony also specially instructed: "Let Dr. Helen Zhao come over too, I am very interested in her bionanotechnology, and I still don't understand something in the last exchange and want to ask her." ”

"Huh." Victor glanced at Tony: "If you want the source information, just say it, Alice, give Tony access to the bio-nano." ”

"By the way, I will pack a copy of all the test materials." Tony added unceremoniously.

Victor rolled his eyes and waved his hand for Alice to do so.

Tony smoothed his beard with rare joy and said casually: "Anyway, I haven't seen Steve recently, isn't Fury giving him too much work?" He used to go to my place for drinks occasionally. ”

Victor: "......"

Probably because Steve knew that Bucky was the assassin of the Howards, although it was not voluntary, it was still difficult to face Tony, right?

Thinking of this,

Victor was also a little difficult.

The best choice is naturally to tell Tony what he knows now, otherwise when Tony knows the truth in the future, he may also be resented.

But Steve's relationship with himself is also good, and Tony must avenge his parents, this tsundere guy has always been an eternal pain in his heart for the loss of his parents.

Steve might have watched Tony kill Bucky?

Inevitably, there will be another civil war.

The more I thought about it, the more headache I felt, so Victor simply pretended to be an ostrich.

What if Tony never knew the truth?

After all

Victor retraces the Battle of Manhattan, and Helmut Zemo's wife and children should have been resurrected, right?
