I was watching American comic book short videos, and at the beginning, Iron Man was breaking down.

"What? The Celestials have already been to the Nine Realms, and even to Midgard?"

Thor was momentarily stunned, taken aback by Odin's words.

Did not expect ah.

Thor really didn't expect that.

Such an extraordinary group of Celestials has actually been to Midgard?

He even fought against his own father, the king?

It's not that Chris Hemsworth looks down on his father, Odin; in fact, Hemsworth has genuine respect for Odin.

To be honest, even Thor doesn't think his father can defeat the Celestials.

That's a super genius who can create everything in the universe, even stars and planets.

And is this really the origin of Asgard's ultimate weapon, the Destroyer?

This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

"Father, what exactly is going on?"

Filled with questions and a heavy heart, Thor continued to press Odin for answers.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, I sensed an immense energy in Midgard, so I went to investigate and discovered that the energy came from a person."

"He claims to be from the Celestials Group."

"He was full of rage and murderous intent, like a mindless beast that only knew how to kill."

"So I teamed up with Agamotto, the first Iron Fist, Black Panther, and others to defeat him."

"We fought a great battle with them and used every means to kill them."

"But we later learned that what we killed was just a dying Celestial being infected with a deadly virus."

With a look of reminiscence and sigh, Odin recounted the events to Thor, giving a brief account of what had happened.

This really provoked Thor again.

His own father, in alliance with some powerful beings, defeated nothing more than a dying celestial being.

The Celestials are truly powerful!

It perfectly matches the high-class image displayed on the big screen!

That's true. They can create universes and planets, so it's understandable that they're more powerful than their father.

Let alone his own father, Thor believes that even if Zeus came, or all the gods of the Pantheon came, they would still be no match for the Celestials.

But how did Father manage to find allies to deal with the Celestials?

I just don't know who those people are.

With a hint of curiosity, Thor continued to ask Odin questions.

"Agomot is the offspring of an ancient god and an extremely powerful sorcerer. The Ancient One, who appears many times on the big screen, is Agamotto's apprentice."

"Fan Fei, the first person to obtain the power of the Iron Fist, and also the first Iron Fist, was a great martial artist."

"Wayne, a prehistoric human who cannot speak, but is exceptionally powerful."

"Little Ghost, the original Ghost Rider."

"Just like you are now, we people also formed the Avengers in prehistoric times to fight against threats from outer space."

Odin then gave Thor a brief introduction to some of the prehistoric Avengers.

Thor was completely stunned.

Thor initially thought that joining a superhero organization was his "first," and that no one else in Asgard had ever done it.

Even Chris Hemsworth was initially worried about being criticized by others.

After all, Thor is still the God of Thunder, no matter what.

However, he ended up joining an organization made up of ordinary people, which at first glance does seem like a demotion.

Little did Thor know that even his own father, Odin, had done this.

However, it has been done before, or it was done in prehistoric times.

This surprised Chris Hemsworth, but also made him secretly excited.

It seems that I am indeed doing the right thing, which coincides with my father's decision.

Thor, who always held Odin in the highest esteem and hoped to gain Odin's high approval, was naturally quite pleased with himself.

To be honest, the members of the prehistoric Avengers sounded much more powerful than the current Avengers.

It's not that Chris Hemsworth is bragging, but looking at the entire Avengers right now, he's actually the most powerful person.

Then there's Banner, who can transform into the Hulk.

In Chris Hemsworth's eyes, no one else is even worth a single blow from him.

Even if Tony Stark creates nanotech armor in the future and can go toe-to-toe with Thanos, he is still not considered a threat by the current Thor.

But what about the prehistoric Avengers?

It must be mentioned that his own father alone was enough to sweep everything away.

Not to mention the others, who all sound incredibly impressive, especially Agamotto, who is actually the Ancient One's master?

The Ancient One left a very deep impression on Thor.

After all, Hulk couldn't cause any trouble in front of the Ancient One; she was incredibly powerful.

"And then, Father? What happened after you killed that celestial being?"

After briefly learning about the prehistoric Avengers, Thor asked again.

King Odin killed a Celestial, surely that wouldn't have any consequences?

"Later, the Celestials came to Midgard once again."

Odin's voice sounded increasingly wistful, "And that time, we prehistoric Avengers suffered a crushing defeat. They easily defeated us; we had absolutely no ability to resist."

Chris Hemsworth's face turned extremely pale, and he began to twitch uncontrollably.

Although he had expected this to happen, he still found it hard to accept when Odin admitted it himself.

Regardless, in Thor's heart, Odin is an unassailable and supreme being.

He found it hard to believe that his father had suffered a crushing defeat in prehistoric times, even after uniting with so many powerful figures.

But then he considered that his opponents were the Celestials, who could create everything in the universe, and Thor gradually felt relieved.

Beings at the level of the Celestials should be truly invincible, right?

"And then what? What happened to Midgard?"

Chris Hemsworth pressed for more information, looking somewhat nervous.

After all, Odin had previously stated that the Celestials descended upon Midgard to conduct some kind of modification experiment.

"Later, some new races emerged on Midgard."

Odin remained silent for a long time before finally telling Thor the answer in a difficult tone.

"Mutants and Eternals?"

Chris Hemsworth raised an eyebrow, making this obvious assumption.

The origins of these two races were revealed on the large screen; they were both created by the Celestials within the World Factory.

"And the Kree and the Skrulls."

But to Thor's surprise, Odin paused for a moment and then added something else.

"What? Even they were created by the Celestials?"

Chris Hemsworth was genuinely shocked.

After all, both the Kree and the Skrulls are renowned and powerful races in interstellar space.

Although the Skrulls have been wiped out by the Kree, they were once renowned throughout the galaxy.

It was also the work of the Celestials Group!

Chris Hemsworth was truly caught off guard.

"Father, do you have any way to deal with that celestial being, Thiam?"

After learning about the Celestials, Thor asked Odin about more important matters.

What are you thinking?

Odin did not answer Thor, but instead asked him a question in return.

Thor then told Odin about his plan to collect the Infinity Stones.

"Since you already have a plan, just do it your way."

Odin didn't offer any advice, he just nodded to show his support for Thor.

Thor didn't waste any more time with Odin, and instead went back into the group chat to discuss the specific details with everyone.

The first thing, naturally, is collecting the Infinity Stones.

"Asgard now has two Infinity Stones, and one is kept by the Collector. There are also two on Earth, one in our hands and the other in Kamar-Taj."

"In addition, the Soul Stone is on that alien planet, which means we already have information on all the Infinity Stones."

"The two gems of Asgard, the gems in the collector's possession, and the gems we have, none of them are a big problem."

"The most crucial things are the gems of Kamar-Taj and the Soul Stone."

Tony gave a brief summary of the current situation, which, as it stands, is actually quite optimistic.

There are only six Infinity Stones in the universe, and people have already acquired three of them.

Including the ether particles stored with the collector, that makes four.

All that's left is to get the Time Gem and the Soul Gem, and you'll be all set.

However, each of these two gems presents its own unique challenges.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet located Kamar-Taj."

Black Widow couldn't help but say this to everyone in the group chat.

So far, no one has been able to even find the Ancient One, let alone borrow anything from her.

So, how about adding friends?

Everyone sent friend requests to Ancient One, Wizard King, and others as soon as the system was upgraded, but no one accepted them.

"With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities, haven't they found a single location after all this time?"

Bruce Banner couldn't help but say with some surprise.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is the world's largest intelligence organization, how could they not even find out such a basic thing?

"Banner, we're discussing the mysterious Kamar-Taj, an organization of powerful sorcerers!"

Patton remarked that he was not surprised by this.

Can we use common sense to understand a group of people who possess unpredictable magic?

Banner was speechless, because it was indeed true.

"Even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't find Kamar-Taj, so how are we supposed to get in touch with them?"

"Should we shout it out in the public chat?"

Captain America frowned slightly. Would using bullet comments be too flashy?

"Leave this to me. I will have Heimdall use the All-Seeing Eye to search for it. Heimdall will definitely be able to find Kamar-Taj."

Thor, however, spoke confidently in the group chat.

Upon hearing this, the others in the group were completely relieved.

Heimdall and the like are naturally much more reliable than S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Then what about the Soul Stone? Thor, Heimdall should be able to find that planet too, right?"

Tony asked Thor with great certainty to confirm.

"Of course, the big screen showed that skull image, didn't it? Haidamur can see the big screen too, he can find that monster anytime, it's not difficult."

Chris Hemsworth gave a very positive answer.

"With Thor around, finding the Soul Stone isn't difficult; the real challenge is how to actually obtain it."

Captain America pointed out the crux of the problem.

This incident also caused the chat group to fall silent for the time being.

After all, the big screen had already given away all the spoilers, and the conditions for obtaining the Soul Gem were far too demanding.

It requires trading souls for souls.

In that other universe, didn't Black Widow die because she was collecting the Soul Stone?

"What I can do in another universe, I can do too!"

"To solve Thiam's problem, I'm willing to do that again!"

After a moment of silence in the group, Black Widow made her stance clear.

Black Widow was once again prepared to make a sacrifice.

"Natasha, we don't trade lives for lives. Let's not bring this up again."

Captain America immediately objected.

This is something Captain America simply cannot accept.

"What else can we do?"

"I don't know yet, but with so many of us, I don't believe we can't come up with a solution."

"Rogers, a soul for a soul—Red Skull made it very clear, and we all know this is the only way!"

The group members had a heated discussion about how to obtain the Soul Gem.

Needless to say, sacrificing Black Widow again would be something no one would agree to.

But at the same time, Black Widow is also right. The rule for getting the gem is death, and there really isn't a second way.

"Everyone, I have an idea."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Nick Fury, the king of secret agents, suddenly spoke up.

It immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Trading souls for souls is the only condition for obtaining the Soul Gem, so we must admit that someone must be sacrificed to get the Soul Gem."

"But the one who makes the sacrifice may not necessarily be ourselves."

Nick Fury recounted the story in detail.

"Nick, we can't sacrifice others for this. We can't do that!"

"If someone has to be sacrificed, I'd rather it be me!"

Before Lu Dan could finish speaking, Captain America interrupted him.

"Rogers, calm down, listen to me first."

"What if the person I'm going to sacrifice is someone who deserves to die anyway? What if the person I'm going to sacrifice is someone for whom death is a release, or even someone who longs for death?"

But Lu Dan's words immediately stunned Rogers, as well as the others in the group.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is some truth to it.

"There are so many people in this world who have committed heinous crimes and deserve to die; there are quite a few death row inmates alone."

"Similarly, there are also many people who suffer from terminal illnesses, enduring pain and torment, and whose lives are pure agony."

"What if I said I would trade these people's souls for gems?" (End of Chapter)
