Chapter 17: Hello Thanos
After two days of rest, the Avengers were ready to go, everyone was fully armed, but when they found Ethan, they found this 'reinforcement' from parallel time and space, setting up a deck chair on the lawn to bask in the sun.
"We're ready. ”
Steve coughed vigorously a few times, reminding the other party of his own existence. Ethan sat up directly after hearing this, stretched his waist by the way, and twisted from side to side a few times, as if he was moving his body.
"Isn't he a Protoss?"
Roddy whispered to Thor next to him.
"You should be in good health, right?"
"It's just a personal habit, don't mind. ”
Ethan's hearing was good, so he could hear Roddy's complaining clearly, and continued to move his neck.
"Do you want to go now?"
"Yes, the ship is also ready, and it is already loaded with enough supplies. ”
"Spaceship?"
Ethan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he didn't say hello to Steve, and everyone thought that in order to 'resurrect' Thanos, they needed to go to the planet where Thanos died, that is, the planet where he decided to live in seclusion.
"Don't bother. ”
That planet is not close, and if you drive the spaceship there, even if it has the 'jump' function, it will take a while to sail.
Ethan is not a hillbilly who has never been to space, and he is not interested in running to a parallel universe to experience space travel.
"Have you forgotten that I'm a mage?"
"Can you just open the portal and send us there?"
The Avengers knew that the mages could open portals, but Ethan hadn't mentioned it before, thinking that Ethan couldn't teleport that far away - after all, Earth was far enough away from that planet.
"Of course. ”
After Ethan finished the activity, looking at the people with strange faces, in order to avoid more complaints and alleviate everyone's embarrassment, Ethan directly opened a portal in the open space next to him.
The blue energy formed an oval door, and through the portal, everyone could see the scenery on the other side: they had only been to that planet once, but they would never forget what it looked like, and everyone recognized the familiar field, where Thanos lived in seclusion.
The Avengers looked at each other, and one by one they stepped through the portal.
Tony and Ethan were the last to walk by, and while the Avengers were waiting for both of them, Steve asked directly, "What should I do next?"
"I'll bring Thanos back to life, do you have any plans?"
Steve: They had already made a detailed plan to prepare an ambush around Thanos, and as soon as Thanos was resurrected, the first thing they wanted to do was to chop off his left arm.
This job was given to Thor, although Thor was confident that he could face Thanos head-on, but he was not ready to risk the life of the entire universe again, and if Thanos snapped his fingers again, it would be all over.
However, Steve's plan is rejected by Tony, who comes with Ethan.
"I said, give this guy to me!"
He was still in the mood to wink at Tony in this world.
"See how I can get your revenge. ”
Tony Stark in this world rolled his eyes helplessly, he already knew that his personality was not very likable, and when he faced it in person, he found that it was so speechless, but this is indeed what he will do - especially this Tony has obviously not suffered anything, and it is impossible to change like himself.
"Tony, we can't joke with the safety of the entire universe. ”
"No, no, I'm not kidding. ”
He looked at Ethan firmly, and Ethan just shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, since you're so strongly demanding. ”
He didn't think Tony was joking, with Tony's current strength, there was no problem in confronting Thanos head-on, the only variable was that Thanos was likely to snap his fingers directly.
As for this problem, he can also solve it.
"Don't worry, I'll keep Sanos from snapping his fingers. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. ”
Although the Avengers still have some doubts in their hearts, they have no way to change Ethan's mind, and the only reliable option is to be prepared to respond and act immediately if something goes wrong.
For example, Tony Stark of this world is ready to ignore Ethan's reminder and is ready to act according to his own ideas, but his thoughts are directly exposed by another self.
No way, they are the same person, and it is easy to guess what 'themselves' think.
Walking to the cabin built by Thanos, Ethan stopped everyone: "You don't need to go in, just here." ”
In fact, it's the same everywhere, as long as Thanos has appeared, Ethan can 'resurrect' him.
Let everyone disperse, make way for an open space to come out, Ethan held out his hands.
This time it's a big job, and he can't just snap his fingers and raise his chin as he usually does.
Connecting the rules of time, going back to the personal timeline of 'Thanos', in addition to the time rules that need to be connected to this universe, there must be enough meticulous control, as well as enough strong 'energy'.
Green energy began to appear on Ethan's hands, and a magic array formed by purple energy also appeared under his feet, and as Ethan's hands were staggered back and forth, after his right hand was in front and his left hand was in the back of the pose, a green magic array also appeared in the open space.
The huge energy emitted an emerald green light, condensed into a pillar of light, and faintly, everyone could see Thanos's figure between this pillar of light - it seemed to be passing by here, and each Thanos who appeared had some differences.
"These ...... Could it be Thanos, who has walked here at a different time?"
The members of the Avengers are not low in IQ, and they quickly guess the truth, and just as they are about to ask something, the effect in the pillar of light suddenly freezes - it is a Thanos wearing a slightly torn Infinity Gauntlet, his body is wrapped in bandages, it is obvious that this is Thanos, who has fulfilled his mission and was slashed by Thor.
"That's it, how's that?"
"Yes!"
The earlier Thanos did not have the Infinity Gauntlet, and the later Thanos Infinity Gauntlet had been destroyed by Thanos, so Thanos in this period was the most in line with Tony's requirements.
"I just traced his body back to this state, and he still has the memories he had before he was killed. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Ethan nodded, increasing the output of divine power, the emerald green energy color became more intense, and the green pillar of light seemed to be substantial, and as Ethan finally turned his right hand in front of him, the green energy slammed away, and then disappeared as if it was being played upside down.
In his place was the purple giant that the Avengers would never forget, Sanos standing in place with his eyes closed.
When his eyes opened, Thanos was stunned for a moment, and after half a second, he made a correct judgment, and his left hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet was immediately ready to snap his fingers, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, his left hand could not be raised.
Looking down, his entire left arm was wrapped in a patch of blue energy, and there was a ring of green energy on top of the blue energy, wrapped around his arm and slowly turning.
"It's ......"
Thanos looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Ethan.
"Who are you?"
"An inconsequential passerby. The right hand turned half a circle, and with a slight fist, with Ethan's action, the Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos' hand disappeared directly, turning into a pile of ore and falling at his feet, and at the same time, several gems on the glove disappeared.
Thanos knew where the stone had gone, it was all in the hand of the person opposite, and Ethan didn't hide it at all, except that he felt the familiar energy of spatial transfer (which he used a lot when using the Infinity Gauntlet).
Six gems floated on his outstretched hands, circling in circles like planets orbiting a star, emitting a faint glow.
The Avengers finally let out a sigh of relief when they saw Ethan turn the Infinity Gauntlet into ore and take the six gems.
Either way, Thanos can't snap his fingers.
"I'm done with my work, it's time for you to appear. ”
After Ethan finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at Thanos a few times, and took two steps back.
Thanos had already seen the surrounding situation at this time, and with his extraordinary wisdom, he also guessed several possibilities, until he saw Tony Stark in front of him, and there was another Tony Stark standing not far away, he guessed the truth.
"So you've found a way to travel to a parallel universe. ”
Thanos looked at the ore at his feet, then at Ethan.
"Are you the guardian of the parallel universe (the Guardian of the Time Stone)?"
"No, I'm not interested in being a Guardian. ”
Thanos smiled, not caring if he had guessed the other person's identity wrongly, but turned his gaze to Tony.
"Tony Stark of the parallel universe, why are you standing in front of me?"
"For no reason, I just want to beat you. ”
"Your world doesn't exist without me?"
"Because I lost to Thor, I regret I couldn't kill you with my own hands. Tony spread his hands: "However, I think you in this world are more worthy of my hands." ”
Thanos' eyes flickered, and in a few words, he had a lot of information, and at the same time understood that he only had one choice left: "Kill everyone and get back the Infinity Stones!"
"In that case, do we want to continue talking?" Thanos reached out and tore the bandage, clenched his fists and faced Tony Stark: "Come on, let me see what you can do!"
"You'll definitely be satisfied!"
Tony stood still, but his glasses and the watch he wore on his wrist began to slowly turn into armor and gradually cover his body.
Seeing that it was the 'familiar' nano armor, Thanos showed a disdainful smile, but the next second it turned into surprise, because he saw that Tony Stark actually took out a red gem and slapped the gem to his chest, directly fusing with the nano armor.
