Chapter 413: Return
"Crackle!"
The quantum channel opening device emitted an electric spark, and Stark, who was always paying attention to the operation status of the equipment, looked at the WARNING that filled the screen, and his eyelids jumped.
"How can it be overloaded? How is it possible to overload?! β
He was stunned because the real-time system diagnosis given on Friday was that the energy required was too large and the system was severely overloaded.
You must know that at that time, Nebula opened the quantum channel and teleported so many armies and such a large space battleship from Thanos, and the system was not overloaded, what the hell is going on?
The U.S. team, which was on top of the equipment platform, also felt a little wrong, because compared to the previous experience, the waiting time was a bit too long, and the noise was also very loud.
"Could it be that something is wrong with the Infinity Stones?"
He glanced down at the storage box he was carrying in his hand, and found that the energy index status of the five Infinity Stones was normal, and the index of the soul gems was even about seventy percent lower.
Laura, who was standing a meter or two away from him, also didn't know what was going on, and she didn't have the experience of entering the quantum channel, and she thought that the activation of this thing should have been so slow, not like in the movie.
Tony outside quickly found out the reason, that is, Laura's energy response was beyond imagination! One person can withstand nearly ten times the energy needed to teleport Thanos' army.
But for now, interruption is an impossible option, and the energy tear that will result in that case may not be a big deal for the non-human Laura, but the result will be fatal for the American team.
"On Friday, use that part of the Pym particles that are sealed in the lab immediately! At the same time, turn off the restriction of the energy hub! Also, close and lock the safety protection door of the underground laboratory immediately! β
"But sir, if you do this, the equipment and wires may not be able to withstand it, which is infinitely close to the theoretical design limit of the instantaneous supply of energy in the laboratory!"
βJUSTDOITοΌβ
"Okay!"
Tony reached out to remove his nanoglasses as he shouted his last words, and the latest model of the nano armor was covered in less than half a second.
With a roar of energy, the electricity in the laboratory was chaotic, and many equipment and components were even sparked.
The people on the ground also felt the sudden tremor.
"It's... Earthquake? β
Rod shook the glass of water on the table that was tinkling.
"Uh... Tony? What did you do again? β
As a thunder god who has awakened the power of thunder and lightning, even though Fat Thor was a little dazed by the freezing of an unknown extremely cold planet before, he still vaguely sensed a huge amount of electricity from the depths under his feet.
There was a "clang", and Xiao Pepper, who had put on the rescuer's armor, had already broken out of the window.
"Buzz--- bang!"
When Pepper arrives at the basement entrance, she is horrified to find that the multi-level blast doors have been closed, and then, before she can ask Friday what is going on, everything seems to have subsided after a muffled noise and a violent shaking of the ground.
"Tony? Tony! Can you hear me? Friday! Open the blast door for me now! β
Pepper slammed her fist on the extremely strong protective door, and she was really anxious.
"Zizizi-Pepper, I'm fine. There's a little accident in the lab, give me a little time, and I'll be able to solve it soon! β
Even though Tony's voice in the Warframe's communication was noisy with the cacophony of electricity, Pepper finally let go of his hanging heart after hearing it.
Half an hour later.
The blast door opened slowly, and black smoke rose with the pungent and unpleasant smell of burning electronic components.
Dressed in armor, Tony flew out of the open passage and landed in front of the waiting crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen... I look like I've lost Steve..."
The mask was opened, and Tony, with a dejected expression, appeared in front of everyone.
βWhatοΌ Tony! β
The biggest reaction was Fat Thor, who couldn't believe that the hard battles were over, and that he had lost another comrade for many years at such a time.
"Tony, don't beat yourself up, we'll always find a way to get him back, won't we?"
Hulk Banner, with one arm immobilized, spoke comfortingly.
"Stark!"
Falcon was furious, and just wanted to go forward to accuse Tony of the mess, but Bucky next to him reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
"Bucky? Don't stop me! β
"I've got to stop you, look over there."
The falcon with the question mark looked in the direction the Winter Soldier was pointing, where there appeared to be an old man sitting on a bench by the lake.
"Generous gifts... The"
Drafted into the Air Force and joined a secret special equipment flying squad, Sam Wilson, nicknamed Falcon, possesses far beyond ordinary eyesight and analytical abilities, and he quickly recognizes the man's body and facial features in the distance.
The rest of the people quickly noticed the old man by the lake that the two had found, and identified him through their own analysis.
"Captain... You... I'm sorry! I'll do my best to help you get back all your lost time. β
The first to arrive at the old man was Stark, his heart was already consumed by guilt.
The elderly American team raised his head, smiled gently at him, glanced at his companions who came one after another, he stood up steadily, and said:
"Tony, all five gems have been successfully returned, including the soul gem you value, and I also met an unexpected one there... Phantom? Ha! What an amazing journey!
By the way, I haven't lost anything, or should I say I've got it back myself. β
The big guys can see that although the American team in front of him has aged physically, the warm and peaceful feeling exuded by him is something he has never felt before.
"You're looking for her?"
Bucky stepped out of the crowd and looked at the American team and spoke.
"It's a secret."
βGoodγβ
The American team replied with a smile, and the two looked at each other with a tacit smile.
"So you didn't actually plan to come back in the first place? I really am..."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that at that time, at the cost of the exhaustion of the new element energy reserves of the entire manor, the Pym particles that were finally obtained were also used up, and most of the electrical facilities in the laboratory were scrapped, it was indeed successful in sending the American team and Laura into the quantum channel.
"I hope that guy has come home safely, too."
He looked up at the clear blue sky and prayed silently in his heart.
At this time, in another universe, Laura quickly withdrew the power of the phoenix that had unconsciously overflowed into her body, and suddenly opened her eyes.
"! What the hell is this sending me to?! β
