Chapter 12: The Avengers' Plan
Tony kept circling around the fat house version of Thor, he didn't awaken to any bad habits, but was shooting with his glasses.
Of course, he can't let go of such good material, just like when Thor was bullied by Ethan with space magic, he also shot a lot of material, not only collected a copy of it himself, but also shared it with his friends.
Thor didn't care about Tony's ridicule, he had experienced too many things in this world, and it was difficult for ordinary provocations to make his emotions fluctuate violently, he was even in the mood to make his own jokes, grabbed the meat on his stomach with his hand and shook it twice, and then said something to the younger Tony in front of him.
"I'm storing divine power!"
"Be careful not to save too much!"
Patted Thor's arm casually, different from the touch that seemed to be slapped on a stone back then, Tony's brought a wave of flesh, making everyone feel speechless.
"Let's get down to business!"
Steve brought the conversation back on track, after all this time of conversation, he already knew what Clint had been through, and he now wanted to know if there was something wrong with that space-time machine?
"There should be no problem, but Clint was hijacked by Ethan on their plane, and it's impossible to determine whether this test was a success or a failure. ”
To add insult to Banner and Ant-Man Scott, Pym was running out of particles, and they had no choice but to take the risk and start planning.
"Speaking of which, what is your plan to save the world?"
Ethan hadn't spoken before, only asked at this time.
Although he knew about Steve's plan, he wanted to know not only about him, but also about Tony, who had followed Ethan here.
"We plan to travel to an alternate world to collect all the Infinity Stones, and then use the power of the Infinity Stones to bring back those who have disappeared. ”
"Uh-huh!"
Ethan nodded, this plan was actually very solid, and then the group began to discuss at which point in time they should go to get the gem. The discussion went on and on, and it was concluded that they would divide into three groups and go to different parallel universes to collect the Infinity Stones.
Among them, Iron Man, Captain America, Ant-Man, and Hulk traveled to the time point of the Battle of New York to find a way to get the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter, as well as the Time Gem kept by Kama Taj's mage.
Because of the reason on the newspaper, Tony thought they were going to Stephen Strange, but Ethan gave them a slight reminder.
"At that point in time, the Supreme Mage who guarded the Earth was still the Ancient One, and Stephen Strange was still working as a doctor. ”
Several people looked at each other, but they didn't know about it.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. ”
Captain America and the others felt a bit of a headache, because they didn't know what kind of person the Ancient One was, and they didn't know if they could convince the Strange predecessor to give him the Time Stone.
But this question can be a little later, maybe the ancient one is better than imagined?
In addition to this team, there is also a team of Thor, the god of thunder, and the rocket raccoons, who will travel to Asgard before the invasion of the dark elves, when the aether particles were parasitic on Jane Foster's body, and they need to make a special equipment to extract the aether particles from Jane's body.
The last group of people are War Machine, Nebula, Hawkeye, and Black Widow, and this group will be separated after arriving in the parallel universe, one group will get the cosmic spirit ball before Star-Lord, and the other group will go to get the soul gem.
"That's it? That's your plan?"
As time passed, people who weren't supposed to be at the Avengers base also rushed over, except for Captain Marvel, who didn't know which hair salon in the universe was busy doing hairstyles.
"Yes. ”
Ethan heard the other party's affirmative answer, and felt the urge to cover his face.
"Is there something wrong?"
With Ethan's expression, even those with low IQ can see how much this person despises their plan, which makes the Avengers very unhappy, and they have a feeling of being underestimated.
"Hey, if you think there's something wrong with this plan, then come up with a better suggestion. ”
Scott always said whatever came to mind, and his words happened to speak to the hearts of everyone present, so everyone turned their eyes to Ethan, wanting to see what this 'companion' of the Avengers from the parallel world they never knew had to say.
"You're trying to collect all the Infinity Stones, aren't you?"
"That's right. ”
Steve can still talk to Ethan calmly, he doesn't care about the plan being despised, and if Ethan can give a better option, it will undoubtedly be a lucky thing.
"You chose these three points because the gems happen to be in a well-defined location and are not particularly scattered. ”
"That's right. ”
Ethan spread his hands and assumed a speechless pose.
"In that case, you know the time when these six gems are all gathered together, why don't you choose that time?"
“......”
The Avengers fell silent suddenly, as if Captain America immediately understood what Ethan meant.
"You mean...... Snatch it from Sanos?"
"Uh-huh!" Ethan nodded with his arms crossed.
"But the strength of Sanos ......"
That's why they didn't think about it, because Sanos's strength was too strong, and when the six Infinity Stones were in his hands, he was simply invincible - even Sanos, who only had one or two gems in his hands, was not so easy to deal with, so they instinctively ignored this choice.
"Didn't you kill him?"
Now everyone understands that Ethan is not asking everyone to fight with Thanos, who has just gotten all the gems and is in the strongest position, but to go to the planet where Thanos chose to retreat and sneak attack Thanos, who is not in good shape.
"If you think it's dangerous, you can also choose to stay in that hut in Sanos a little earlier, and wait for him to complete his 'feat of justice' and launch a sneak attack the moment he escapes there. ”
At that time, Thanos had just been seriously injured by Thor's axe, and his body was in the weakest state.
If Thanos left Earth and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly rushed out from all directions to attack him, and the chances of success were high - they had done it a few years ago.
The Avengers pondered silently for a while, Ant-Man looked at his companions on the left and right, and finally admitted that Ethan's suggestion seemed to be quite good, and gave Ethan a thumbs up awkwardly: "It's indeed a good plan!"
"But facing Thanos directly, even if he is injured, there is a possibility of failure...... We can't afford to fail. ”
Ethan's plan sounds like it has a high success rate, but it's certainly not as safe as the original plan, because the gems are not in the custody of any powerful person.
The Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter, with the end of the Battle of New York, were kept by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who only needed to use their brains to get their hands on these two gems.
The Time Gem is in the hands of the Supreme Mage, and the task is to convince the other party rather than snatch it.
The aether particles were in Jane Foster's body, Jane was in Asgard at the time, and Thor only needed to find a chance to get close to his ex-girlfriend, and there would be no enemies to stop him.
As for the Cosmic Spirit Orb, the only contender is a fool, and the Soul Gem is on a desolate planet.
"No, soul gems aren't that easy to get your hands on. ”
No one here knew that a soul needed to be sacrificed to get the Soul Gem, and Nebula just thought that Thanos had killed Gamora after getting the Soul Gem, and everyone thought that they could get the Soul Gem directly as long as they went to Vormir.
"To obtain the Soul Gem, you must sacrifice the life of the most important person in your life...... Who are you going to die?"
Hearing that there was still this condition for the acquisition of the soul gem, the Avengers immediately realized that the original plan was no longer feasible.
Although Hawkeye and Black Widow are willing to sacrifice for the sake of the big picture, Captain America, as the 'commander', will never agree.
"In that case, let's go straight to Sanos, I really want to cut another axe on his neck!"
Thor doesn't have the motivation to do anything else, but against Thanos, no matter how many times he fights, he's motivated.
"Uh...... If you can still move an axe. ”
War Machine Roddy has become a spit maniac since he was injured, and a sentence will pop up from time to time, and as soon as he turns his head after complaining, he sees Tony in the parallel universe standing next to him, tilting his head to look at himself.
"Hey, don't tell me what special relationship we have in the parallel world. ”
Because Tony's position was awkward, Roddy was a little panicked.
"What? Oh, I'm just looking at this on you...... Exoskeleton device!" Tony pointed to the walking aid on Roddy's body, "How long has it been?"
"Don't worry, I'm used to it. ”
Roddy suddenly felt that this was really Tony, even if it was from another universe, he was still the good buddy he was familiar with.
"It seems that I'm doing well in another world. ”
Tony nodded in reply, he had previously known from Hawkeye that the Avengers of this world had broken out in internal conflicts, but he didn't know that Roddy was seriously injured as a result.
Look around, the haggard Natasha, the much older Clint, the always frowning Steve, and the much older alter ego.
"Ethan!"
"Don't worry, it's easy. ”
No need to talk nonsense, Ethan knew what Tony wanted to ask himself, there was no movement, just a thought rose, and the golden light was already shrouded in Roddy's body.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard, and when they reacted and wanted to ask something, they found that they didn't have to speak.
The golden light slowly faded, and Tony reached out to turn off the device on Roddy's body, and Roddy, who was a little confused, still stood there steadily.
