Thanos.

Perhaps in this universe, Thanos is just a name for Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.

Because of Ronan's presence, they may never experience what pain is.

Obviously, he tried his best to resist, but in the end, he still failed and lost his closest people.

The kind of despair that sees someone close to you turn to ashes in front of you, but in the end you can't do anything about it.

"Thanos?"

Steve Rogers muttered a repeat of Thanos' name.

It was as if he could feel the crisis invisibly.

And Tony Stark on the side didn't have the hippie smile of the past, because he could tell when it was a joke and when it was serious.

Today's Ronan, when he says these words, is very serious.

"Do you want us to prepare?"

Steve Rogers looked at Ronan.

Ronan shook his head, he gently stretched out his left hand, and a ripple visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.

A stone that shone with blue light was pinched in Ronan's hand out of thin air.

"This is what the Cosmic Cube really looks like?"

Steve Rogers looked at the inconspicuous stone and remembered what Ronan had said earlier.

This is supposed to be the Space Gem.

"That's right, this is what the Cosmic Cube really looks like, that is, the Space Gem."

"It's just that what I can tell you is that this space gem is real."

"To be exact, it used to be real, but now it doesn't have the power of the Space Gem."

Ronan played with the space gem in his hand, and did not hide the meaning of the two of them at all.

Was it ever true?

When they heard this, their eyes widened at the same time.

Ronan has already said just now, how powerful these six Infinity Stones are, it can be said that they are unique in the universe.

Why do you now say "once it was true"?

What Ronan said made Steve Rogers and Tony Stark a little confused.

"This space gem has been sealed by me with a special power."

"If you want to unlock the seal, you must find the soul gem."

"Using the power of the soul gem to impact the seal above will give this space gem a new life."

Ronan let go of his index finger and thumb and let the spatial gem float in front of Steve Rogers.

Seeing his action, Steve Rogers was also full of doubts.

What does that mean?

"Steve, I want you to protect it, and explain to the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. that you've found the Cosmic Rubik's Cube."

"You can tell the top of the U.S. government about this, and you can even give them this space gem for safekeeping."

Ronan looked at Steve Rogers and said what he was trying to do.

"What do you mean?"

"Diversify risk?"

Tony Stark seemed to understand what Ronan meant.

In terms of IQ, Tony Stark is indeed the top group of people in the world.

"That's right, these are the only four Infinity Stones we can encounter."

"So this means that the other party still has a chance to get two additional Infinity Stones, that is, Power Gems and Soul Gems."

"Thanos' purpose is to obtain six Infinity Stones."

"Now, we Kama Taj are responsible for guarding the Time Stones, and you, the Avengers, are responsible for guarding the Space Stones."

"Asgard, where Thor is, they got the Reality Gem."

"In this way, if the other party wants to obtain these gems, they must find the person who finally hid the space gem on the earth of billions of people."

Ronan looked at the two people in front of him, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

But soon, this complicated emotion disappeared.

He didn't tell the truth to the two people in front of him, this so-called space gem was actually fake!

This space gem is one of the Infinity Stones that Ronan brought back from the Time Authority.

The reason why Ronan is doing this is really like what Tony Stark said, reducing the risk.

First of all, Ronan, who can't leave the earth, is destined to not get the power gem and soul gem.

Especially the latter, it is impossible for Ronan to give up the person he loves the most to obtain such a gem that does not have much effect on him.

Therefore, these two gems can almost be said to be in Thanos's bag.

The Power Gem may be easy to deal with, and it would be nice to let Captain Marvel come and fight Thanos in hand-to-hand combat when the time comes.

The Soul Gem, on the other hand, is not so simple.

Although Ronan didn't need this gem, he had to admit that the power of this Infinity Stone was also very strong.

The ability to steal, manipulate, modify, or modify a soul is truly terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that this gem can not only manipulate living souls, but even necromancy will be at its command.

That is to say, even if the person dies and commits suicide in the end, Thanos has a way to get the location of other gems through the soul gem.

In terms of soul ability, although Ronan thinks that he is very strong, whether he can compare to the soul gem, Ronan is still a little self-aware.

Of course, Ronan can use other means to restrain Thanos' soul gem.

For example, the aether particle in his hand, which is the Reality Gem.

Through the Reality Gem, he can directly erase the influence of Thanos' use of the Soul Gem.

However, Thanos dares to play with his life, is Ronan willing to accompany him?

The answer is definitely no.

Compared with the physique and other aspects of the two sides, Ronan, even if it has been strengthened by dark energy, is not comparable to Thanos at all.

So, if Ronan wants to use the Reality Gem to go toe-to-toe with Thanos.

There is a high probability that Ronan will die and Thanos will be seriously injured.

Even, it may not be a serious injury.

Is Ronan the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of the future of the entire human race?

He asked himself if he couldn't do it.

He's not a superhero, and sometimes he's not even a good guy.

Gambling with your life?

Ronan didn't want to, and he couldn't.

If you want to win Thanos, there are two paths in front of Ronan.

First, use the wisdom of ideas.

And the second one is to work hard to cultivate during this time and have the power to surpass Thanos.

Although the chances of the latter being realized are not very high, Ronan has already thought about it.

Grab with both hands, and be hard with both hands!

Children only make choices, and adults only need to be big

No, all adults!

Therefore, when Thanos worked hard to get the space gem.

When he collected the six Infinity Stones and wanted to snap his fingers, nothing happened.

Ronan doesn't believe that Thanos doesn't doubt life!

"And there's one more thing I have to tell you."

"You may die at the hands of Thanos because of this Infinity Stone."

"So, Steve, you can choose to accept or reject."

Ronan looked at Steve Rogers in front of him and didn't intend to deceive him.

There is no doubt that for the sake of this "real" space gem, Thanos will definitely kill a lot of people.

And Ronan couldn't have told them the truth.

Because the best way to hide a soul gem is to think it's true, but it's fake from the beginning.

Of course, it was cruel, but Ronan had to do it.

"I know."

Steve Rogers smiled, trying to reach out and take the space gem in front of him.

Ronan interrupts Steve Rogers by throwing him a box.

"This box is for the space gem, don't touch this stone with your hand, otherwise you will die."

"Especially for mortal mortals, the chances of death are very high."

Infinity Stones are not something that ordinary people can touch when they meet, and the chance of death is too great.

Therefore, Ronan is still very caring.

Steve Rogers nodded, took the box and opened it, and wrapped the space gem inside.

"Wait, wait, wait."

"Steve, have you thought about it?"

"It's a life-threatening matter, are you sure you really want to do it?"

Tony Stark pressed Steve Rogers' hand to the side.

Steve Rogers, on the other hand, smiled and shook his head at Tony Stark.

"Tony, I've been on missions all my life that cost me my life at any time."

"Every time I am on the battlefield, I am ready to lose my life at any time."

"It's the same this time."

"It's just that this has changed from accepting the task of the state to acknowledging this responsibility yourself."

Steve Rogers took a deep breath, he had lost count of the number of times he had accepted such a task.

He's used to it.

It's just that he survived again and again.

"Tony, if I die, then I'll have a clear conscience."

"At least did he fight for humanity too?"

After saying that, Steve Rogers smiled and closed the box in his hand, and the glittering space gem was enveloped in it.

This also means that he took over Ronan's task.

"Well, after all, it's useless for me to say something about an old antique like you."

"But I still have a family, and I can't be as selfless as you, sacrificing my life for the sake of others."

Tony Stark shrugged his shoulders and made a nonchalant expression.

However, Ronan glanced at him, and didn't know who it was, and finally snapped his fingers.

"It's up to you, anyway, this task is handed over to you."

"In order for mankind not to suffer that kind of tragedy in the future, I hope you can take good care of it."

Ronan waved his hand, he didn't care what they thought.

As long as his plan can go smoothly.

Steve Rogers carefully placed the box, looking very attached to the spatial gem in front of him.

Although he didn't know whether the "future" that Ronan was talking about would appear in the end.

Even the person called Thanos is not really that strong.

However, as Captain America, it is his duty to protect humanity on Earth.

That's all.

"In that case, then our meeting for today is so happy."

Syllable!

Ronan snapped his fingers, and the mirror space collapsed instantly.

Tony Stark's original residence, which was already a mess, suddenly returned to its original appearance.

The images they had seen before were as if they had never appeared.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you really become like that, I don't even know how to explain it to Pepper."

Looking at the layout in front of him, which had been restored to its original state, Tony Stark couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ronan, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and expressed disdain for his unproductive appearance.

What kind of person would be so afraid of his wife!

Tony Stark sends Steve Rogers downstairs, and Ronan returns to his desk to avoid suspicion.

Standing in front of the window, he looked at Steve Rogers, who was riding away on his motorcycle, and sighed softly.

The gentleman deceived him.

This phrase is used to describe Steve Rogers, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Of course, he is not so gentlemanly, at least in the face of close friends, he will also abandon his principles.

Anyway, Steve Rogers has agreed.

With his knowledge of this matter, he would never have thought of Ronan's plan.

Of course, even if he could think of it, I'm afraid he would go down according to Ronan's plan.

This is actually called, a gentleman deceives him.

——

After work, Ronan still sent Gwen Stacy home.

Ronan didn't tell her what he was doing now.

Of course, with Gwen Stacy's clever mind, he could probably guess what Ronan was doing now.

Ronan has never admitted his identity, but he has never denied it.

So, at some point, Gwen Stacy is very good at putting herself in the right position and never asks what Ronan is up to.

For example, a girlfriend who doesn't care about your games, but is very beautiful and obedient, and very smart.

Just say you don't want it!

After saying goodbye to Gwen Stacy's house, Ronan still felt the feeling of a chill on his back.

Don't think about it, it must be his "old father-in-law", who is looking at him with two eyes.

Maybe he still has a handful of trolls in his hand, but he just didn't lift it.

It wasn't until Ronan rode his bike out of the street that the chilly feeling disappeared.

Ten minutes later, Ronan also returned to his apartment.

Opening the door, Ronan sat down on the couch and turned on the TV in the room.

As the TV sounded, Ronan took out his bag and began to write his homework seriously.

While writing homework, I was still reciting formulas with words.

If the king had been nearby, he would have been amazed at what he saw.

Because Ronan is so serious about his homework!

This is rare.

Of course, Ronan soon took out his phone and started playing the game on his phone.

He behaved like a high school student.

It's just that Ronan is not playing a game, but is in contact with Wang.

He saw that Wang was also online in the game, so he told him this sentence through the private chat in the game.

"Don't come to my apartment tonight, I've got something, 69."

After typing these words, Ronan started a new game.

69 is actually a code between the two people, which means that Ronan has a bit of trouble to deal with now, but this trouble is not tricky.

The reason why Ronan did this is also very simple.

For as soon as he entered the house, he found that his house had been entered.

That's right, someone sneaked into his apartment, when he wasn't home.

Ronan can confirm this, and the reason is simple.

His house has a spell enchantment.

As a mage, Ronan couldn't use the low-level trick of holding hair in the crack of the door.

Because this kind of trick will almost be recognized at a glance when you meet a master.

If it doesn't work, others will be suspicious at the same time.

Why would an average high school student have to put his hair in the crack of the door to determine if anyone has ever entered his house?

Besides, as a mage, Ronan has eleven thousand ways to know if anyone has come in his house.

Not to mention people, even inanimate objects such as robots, Ronan can know.

So, the moment Ronan entered the room, he received feedback from the enchantment.

In the afternoon, when he went to class, someone sneaked into his house.

Although there was only one person who came in, he walked through all of Ronan's rooms, and even checked Ronan's wardrobe and other places.

As for whether there is some monitoring equipment left, Ronan does not know for the time being.

However, now that he knows that someone has come in, Ronan will not be stupid enough to use a clone to do his homework.

After taking out the opposite side with three hits and five divided by two, ending the game, Ronan turned to the chat interface, and his body blocked the screen tightly.

"Tony, is there any way to detect if someone has bugged devices and surveillance equipment in your house?"

Ronan quickly typed the information on the screen.

He wasn't worried that Tony Stark wouldn't receive it, because people like him and Steve Rodgers, Jarvis would notify Tony Stark as soon as he sent a message to Tony Stark.

Unless Tony Stark is already in bed, uh-huh.

But at this point, Tony Stark, who is over forty years old, may not be able to pay the public rations, right?

"What, someone is spying on you?"

As Ronan expected, Tony Stark was quick to reply to the message.

"I don't know yet, but I know someone has come into my house."

"You'd better have something that can both detect if there's a surveillance device and find out who's monitoring."

"Urgently needed, urgently needed."

Ronan posted three memes in a row.

Tony Stark replied with a disgusted look at first, and then the next message followed.

"Right now."

"I'll find someone to send it to you, ten minutes at most, and you hold on a little longer."

Tony Stark replied.

Ronan replied with an OK emoji, then turned off his phone and continued to write his homework.

Now he not only wants to find that person, but also to let him know what pain is!

Dare to let Ronan write his homework himself.

If it doesn't make you feel what is called despair, then Ronan won't have to mess around in New York in the future!

So, Ronan thought as he began to write his homework in his homework book.

Although it is pretended, it should at least be pretended to be a little bit like it, and it cannot startle the snake.

With this in mind, Ronan wrote his homework for fifteen minutes in great pain, and finally waited for his doorbell to ring.

Ronan walked to the door, first looking through the cat's eye, then opened the door a little gap.

It's like a high school student who is home alone and worried about strangers breaking into his home.

Just this acting, just this detail!

Those opportunities to act with female stars, you should look for Ronan!

Ronan not only knows how to act, but he can also touch Da Mimi's legs!

"Hello, your delivery has arrived."

The man outside the door was smiling and wearing a Stark Express outfit.

It's just that the sweat on his forehead seems to prove that this courier is very heavy.

Ronan tugged at the corners of his mouth, how did he not know that Tony Stark's business was so extensive.

Even the courier business is involved.

But it didn't have much to do with him, he slowly opened the door, took the box from the courier, and signed his name.

Tipping and sending off the courier, Ronan carried the box to the table.

The box was indeed very heavy, and Ronan estimated that it was at least fifty or sixty pounds.

What exactly is the device that would be so heavy?

With this in mind, Ronan unpacked the express.

He knew that Tony Stark wouldn't make that kind of stupid move to reveal his identity, so he also opened the box boldly with confidence.

When the box was opened and the contents were seen, Ronan's eyes could not hold back any longer.

Fack!

How can anyone mail their own figurines to others!

That's right, what Tony Stark sent to Ronan was a figure of Iron Man.

The classic red and gold color scheme, Iron Man, who is scaled down in equal proportions, just stayed quietly in the box, one hand still held outward.

Ronan could even see the light on his chest.

"What a narcissism!"

Ronan secretly complained, but finally took out the figure.

The moment it was placed on the table, Ronan clearly saw that the two eyes that were originally pitch black on the figure lit up instantly.

Drip, drip, drip.

At the same time, Ronan received a text message on his phone.

There are sensors on the doorknob at the door, which will collect fingerprints whenever someone touches them.

At the door of the apartment opposite, there is also a camera in the cat's eye, which is turned on 24 hours a day.

As long as you press the power button of the TV, the camera will automatically start.

The ceiling light has a high-precision bugging device that can eavesdrop on all the sounds in the house.

The kitchen, bedroom, and even the bathroom all have cameras and bugs.

At the same time, under Ronan's couch, there is also a miniature bomb.

As long as you press the button, let alone this house, I'm afraid the whole building will be razed to the ground.

"Nyima!"

"Are you using my house as a battlefield?"

Ronan took a deep breath, holding back that international friendly gesture and looking at the next text message again.

The location where the signal was received was not far from Ronan, the apartment across the street from Ronan, the room on the fourth floor.

At the same time, there is also a camera pointed at Ronan's window.

It can be said that they are spying on Ronan almost 360 degrees without blind spots.

After reading the text message, Ronan took a deep breath and gently patted the head of the Iron Man figure.

Although Tony Stark is a very narcissistic person, he is still reliable.

Since those people want to spy on him so much, then Ronan gives them a chance.

Let them monitor themselves face-to-face!!
