Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Alright, Lin, what's wrong? Just say it." Tony gave up on organizing his thoughts; the most important thing now was to proceed with the planned operation.

Lin Yi ignored Thor's taunts.

His calm gaze swept over everyone present before settling on the screen.

"I've watched you discuss this for so long, but it seems you don't realize there's a gem that you can't easily obtain just by going there."

As he spoke, Lin Yi stepped forward and magnified the orange Infinity Stone.

"The Soul Gem... obtaining it requires a certain price..."

For Lin Yi, there is no such thing as not being able to change the plot. As long as it is in line with his own conscience, interests, and future development, Lin Yi does not mind getting involved and changing the future course.

Of course, he had hesitated, which is why he only revealed the information about the Soul Gem now. Changing the plot might lead to vastly different futures, but Lin Yi quickly realized that his very existence here was already the biggest change to the plot.

"The Soul Stone is located on the planet Vormir, guarded by Red Skull... no, it would be more accurate to say he's trapped there."

"This gem is, in some ways, the most dangerous of the six rough stones, because it possesses a certain degree of independent consciousness."

These words immediately sombered the atmosphere. A gem with its own consciousness, requiring a price to acquire, gave everyone a bad feeling.

Lin Yi paused, then emphasized, "The Soul Gem is essentially a perpetually thirsty soul. And a thirsty soul can never be satiated."

As he spoke, Lin Yi looked at Natasha and Clint. The task of obtaining the Soul Gem fell to the two of them.

The bond between the two, which is like that of comrades-in-arms and family, perfectly meets the "sacrifice" condition for obtaining the Soul Gem.

Seeing the two looking at him with puzzled and heavy eyes, Lin Yi stopped dawdling and said, "The price of the Living Soul Gem is to give up the soul of someone you truly love."

As soon as the words were spoken, a sense of unease arose in everyone's hearts.

Natasha and Clint's eyes met instantly, both seeing shock, heaviness, and a hint of doubt in each other's complex gazes.

If what Lin Yi said is true, then one of them is destined to stay there forever.

"Are you sure, Lin?" Tony stepped forward. This was no small matter. He didn't know where Lin Yi had gotten the information about the Infinity Stones, but he believed Lin Yi wouldn't joke about something like this. His question was simply an unconscious act of human emotion.

Lin Yi nodded silently. The crowd began to whisper among themselves. They wouldn't easily trust someone they had only known for a short time, but with Tony's endorsement, the reliability of this information was self-evident.

Rhodes couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Smurfette with a reproachful gaze: "Nebula, why didn't you tell me such important information?"

The information about the Soul Gem was provided by Nebula, and Rhode's words drew everyone's attention to Nebula.

Nebula remained expressionless and spoke in a deep voice: "I don't know. I only know that Thanos killed Gamora in Vormir, but I don't know if the Soul Stone requires... a soul sacrifice."

...Yes, Nebula did mention Gamora's death before. At the time, no one paid much attention, but now, this action seems to further confirm the truth of Lin Yi's words.

"This is troublesome..." Steve sighed. The plan had changed, and they needed to revise it. Sacrificing Natasha or Clint was not an option.

Clint tightened his grip on Natasha's hand, a grip he had held ever since Lin Yi spoke of sacrificing the soul of his beloved.

"Lin... really? Are there any other ways to obtain the Soul Gem?"

As soon as she said that, everyone's attention shifted from Blue Sister to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't hide anything: "I do have two ideas."

"Since the Soul Gem possesses independent consciousness, there is a possibility of negotiation. Perhaps after we obtain the other five gems, we can use them to negotiate with the Soul Gem."

"But I'm not optimistic about the chances of this negotiation succeeding. The Soul Gem might not even bother with us."

This was a guess Lin Yi had seen before his transmigration. Apparently, in some settings, Shocking Mother was supposed to negotiate with the Soul Gem in place of Natasha. Lin Yi didn't know if it was true or not, but he thought it was unlikely.

Because when Thanos went to Vormir, he already had three Infinity Stones.

"Would it work if we used the Reality Stone to create a fake sacrifice?" Rocket asked.

Lin Yi shook his head in denial.

"When Thanos took Gamora to Vormir, he already had the Space Stone, Reality Stone, and Power Stone."

"He has familial ties to Gamora, and if things had worked out, he wouldn't have sacrificed her. The fact that he has three Infinity Stones but didn't negotiate, or perhaps they didn't reach an agreement, remains unknown. In any case, this suggests that the likelihood of this conjecture being correct is low."

Tony couldn't hold back any longer; the feeling of facing unknown danger was making him anxious. "Lin, just tell me the second method."

Upon hearing Tony's words, the group, who had been whispering amongst themselves, fell silent again and waited for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi clenched his fist. "You should be able to think of the second method, Tony."

"Now that Thanos has obtained the Soul Stone, why don't we just go and get it from him?"

This method caused an uproar. Their first reaction was that this young man was incredibly outspoken.

Find Thanos... What's that Eastern saying again? "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger," right?

Steve was the first to object: "That won't do. Thanos is too powerful. We can't just take the Soul Stone quietly. It doesn't comply with our core principle of avoiding altering the past."

Lin Yi patiently explained, "It is indeed very risky, but if we want to avoid sacrifice, this plan is relatively feasible."

"Thanos on Vormir, at that point in time, would possess all four Infinity Stones."

"You go back in time and retrieve the five Infinity Stones, then I will go back to the timeline in which Thanos obtained the Soul Stone. With the power of the stones, I am confident that I can take the Soul Stone without him noticing."

This is Lin Yi's second method. Relying solely on the Avengers, the plan has a very high failure rate, but if it's his current self, who is slightly stronger than the Iron Body...

Lin Yi could face little pressure fighting Thanos alone without the Infinity Stones, but Thanos possesses multiple Infinity Stones and wants to take the Soul Stone without Lin Yi noticing. Lin Yi would need the special abilities of the Mind Stone and Reality Stone.

You can't just go over and knock him out with a chop to the neck, can you? Thanos's goal has always been to implement his plan to reduce the population to half. If he senses danger or discovers Lin Yi, this anomaly, he will use the Space Stone to escape the moment he can't defeat him.
