Chapter 418: Arrival in Wakanda
The Kun fighter plane was docked at the airport in Wakanda, and the Black Panther and his women's guards had been waiting for a long time.
The panther stepped forward to greet Qiao Lu and said, "Hello, Mr. Qiao Lu. I am T'Challa, the king of Wakanda, you can call me - the Panther. β
"Nice to meet you." Qiao Lu shook hands with the Black Panther and said, "Thank you for providing vibranium and your support for our one-ball policy. β
"Wow, King! It's the first time I've seen a real king when I'm so old! Peter on the side was starry and looked like a countryman entering the city.
The Black Widow coldly warned him, "Shut up, little ghost, you're not here to travel. β
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Peter consciously covered his mouth.
After a brief meeting, Qiao Lu asked about the status of the Avengers, and according to Black Widow, the Avengers should have arrived here first.
The Panther replied, "They're all busy helping Wakanda prepare for this big battle, because we have so little time. It can be said without a doubt that Thanos' number one target on Earth is here. β
"Why?" Qiao Lu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Thanos' goal should be the Infinity Stones, why would Wakanda, without the Infinity Stones, be the number one target?
"Because he has the Power Gem." The Black Panther said as he walked, "The Power Gem contains an infinite amount of energy, but there are very few things that can withstand its energy. If Thanos wants to fully exert the power of the Power Gem and make it a superweapon capable of destroying the entire planet, then he will also need to collect a lot of materials, and you should understand what that means. β
"Vibranium." Qiao Lu immediately reacted and said.
It's like vibranium and mind gems can create a super robot vision with great power. It goes without saying what the Power Gem plus vibranium can make.
If Thanos is allowed to get the vibranium of Wakanda, plus the Power Gem to provide energy, it will be a doomsday weapon that can easily destroy the earth, and the power of this weapon is absolutely unstoppable.
Black Panther continued, "Once he succeeds, Thanos could force us to hand over the Infinity Stones by threatening to destroy the entire Earth. So we have to hold on to Wakanda, or the consequences will be unimaginable. β
In the face of absolute power, everything else will be meaningless. It's no wonder that the Avengers think that Wakanda will be the first target, who can refuse an unstoppable star-destroying weapon.
"So what is the approximate size of the enemy's forces? I don't think it will be any less than the Battle of New York. Qiao Lu asked as he walked with the panther.
"It's worse than we thought." The panther said without looking back:
"According to Star-Lord, it's very likely that Thanos also got another Infinity Stone, the Soul Stone. This gem allows the user to drive souls, even those that have died. So in addition to Thanos' own army, there may be an army of the undead, and we can't be sure how large the number will be, and what kind of combat effectiveness it will have. β
This is the biggest role of the soul gem, in the endgame, the avengers can resurrect the erased half of the people with a snap of their fingers, mainly relying on the power of the soul gem.
This also means that Thanos will have an even more terrifying army, and enemies who have died before may be easily resurrected by him.
Peter couldn't help but whisper, "How does it sound like it's all bad news." β
"What about us?" Black Widow asked calmly.
"Wakanda will do everything in its power to resist the invasion, and other countries have pledged to provide maximum support. It's just that we still don't know what the odds are, and the power of the Infinity Stones is immeasurable. β
Qiao Lu immediately promised, "If necessary, we will also take out the Space Gem and the Mind Gem to compete with this." If you can defeat Infinity Stones with Infinity Stones, do so. β
Each side holds two Infinity Stones, so at least the situation will not be so unbalanced.
It's just that in addition to the Infinity Stones, Thanos himself is also a formidable opponent, and the situation is still not optimistic.
As they spoke, they entered the palace in Wakanda, where Jolu finally saw Captain America, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Hawkeye, and Star-Lord, while Iron Man Tony, Hulk, Thor, and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy were nowhere to be seen.
Captain America happily stepped forward to greet him, "I'm so glad to see you here, Qiao Lu." β
"I promised you." "What about Tony, Banner, and Thor?" β
"Tony and Banner help out in the lab, and Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy travel to Nidawi to build a weapon strong enough to fight Thanos."
It seems that everything is going on in order, with Tony and Banner helping Wakanda further develop its technology, while Thor is going to get the Storm Tomahawk and come back to settle accounts with Thanos.
Qiao Lu looked behind Captain America, where Star-Lord was sitting with his head hung down, his head in his hands and his expression of despair.
There is no way, the two Infinity Stones that Thanos got this time are related to him, it can be said that it was because he was robbed of the Infinity Stones by Thanos, and then forced Gamora to tell the whereabouts of the soul stones, which led to the occurrence of this Infinity War.
From this point of view, Star-Lord has once again tricked everyone, but compared to the feat of punching Avengers 4 in another timeline, his experience this time is understandable.
"What a fool I am! Litter! Rubbish! Star-Lord thumped the table in pain and said:
"I thought selling that thing to a collector would make us enough money to spend a lifetime, but I didn't expect it to contain a Power Gem. When Thanos came, Gamora begged me to kill her, but I didn't even do thatΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Seeing Star-Lord blame himself like this, the others couldn't say anything more.
Thanos without the Infinity Stones is not easy to mess with, even the Nova Legion will be easily bloodied by him, and the Guardians of the Galaxy alone will be even more helpless.
At the end of the day, the timeline changes so much that everything that happens after that becomes unpredictable.
For example, in terms of time, the Reality Gem should have appeared earlier than the Power Gem, but in this timeline it is reversed. Thor's Mjolnir hadn't been crushed by Hela yet, but he could go directly to Nidawi to get the Storm Tomahawk.
Of course, all these changes are related to the arrival of the last Wandering Earth, if not directly caused by the butterfly effect.
After so many changes, even Qiao Liu, who is a traverser, can't guess what will happen next.
