American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

It's not surprising that an error like Ultron occurred.

"Jarvis, begin full decoding of the scepter!" Tony Stark then gave Jarvis the order.

"Decoding has begun, but the scepter's computational matrix is ​​too powerful, so it will take some time, about a month."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!" Tony Stark said, his eyes shining.

While Jarvis was trying to quantify the scepter for so long, Tony Stark was also busy, having already thoroughly mastered related knowledge such as the Cradle of Regeneration and organic biology.

Now all that's missing is the illusion program.

Once Jarvis completes 100% decoding, the program will no longer be a problem!

Tony Stark was still very much looking forward to that moment.

"Sir, Nick Fury requests a video call with you."

Jarvis's voice rang out again, interrupting Tony Stark's thoughts.

Tony Stark hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Take it!"

A projection of a bald, bald face appeared right in front of Tony Stark.

“Stark, please tell me some good news,” Nick Fury asked directly, without any preamble.

Tony Stark then told Nick Fury about some of the progress in the research on the scepter, and Nick Fury was very excited to hear this.

“You mean there’s still a month left? Stark, we can’t delay any longer. I need to take the scepter in a month.” Nick Fury then made this request to Tony Stark, “If we wait any longer, we’ll be exposed. The captain is already starting to suspect us.”

Tony Stark completely ignored Nick Fury's words; he didn't believe such nonsense.

Is a mere intelligence chief really incapable of handling something this simple?

Nick Fury must have wanted to conduct some other research as well.

"How are the Scarlet Witch and her brother?"

Tony Stark then asked another question that he was very interested in.

"They're doing well; they were adopted six months ago..."

Nick Fury replied, "However, six months have passed and they haven't shown any superpowers, Stark. Our intervention might turn them into ordinary people forever."

In the video shown by the quiz system, Scarlet Witch gained her superpowers because she was subjected to human experimentation and modification by Baron Strucker.

Although Nick Fury doesn't follow many rules and regulations when doing things, he is not Hydra after all, and he does have certain bottom lines.

He simply couldn't bring himself to conduct experiments on minors.

So after some discussion, everyone arranged for Scarlet Witch and her brother to be placed in a foster family so that they could have a complete home.

We didn't do anything more for them.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Tony Stark shrugged. "They've completely distanced themselves from the world of monsters."

However, neither Tony Stark nor Nick Fury could have imagined that Scarlet Witch's magic did not originate from Hydra's human experiments at all.

The scepter merely triggered the Scarlet Witch's magic prematurely, nothing more.

The Scarlet Witch's magic does not come from the scepter, but from herself!

Even without Strucker's experiment, the Scarlet Witch would have awakened her magic sooner or later.

"Sir."

While talking to Nick Fury, Jarvis suddenly sent another notification: "An anomalous gravitational field has begun to appear in that abandoned building in New Mexico."

"The nine celestial bodies are beginning to converge, and the ether particles are about to appear!"

Tony Stark and the projected Egg in front of him exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

This was a big deal for Thor.

"Stark, you keep an eye on that place. I'll notify Thor right now!" Nick Fury immediately said to Tony Stark, and then logged off.

There's no doubt what they went to do.

The news that the nine celestial bodies were converging was quickly communicated to every participant.

None of the participants dared to slack off and immediately began heading towards the participants' base.

Through the exchange of information after answering the questions, everyone has learned that this matter is not just about Asgard, but also concerns the entire Nine Realms.

After all, the Dark Elves' goal is to plunge the entire universe back into darkness!

In other words, the Dark Elves are not only Thor's enemies, but also the enemies of Earth.

Given everyone's friendship with Thor, and the fact that an entrance had appeared on Earth, they naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

Half an hour later, Tony Stark, Captain America, Hawkeye Barton, Black Widow, and everyone else put down what they were doing and gathered at the Quiz Master's base.

Dr. Banner was also notified.

However, the other party is quite far away. S.H.I.E.L.D. has already sent a fighter jet over, but it will take at least several hours to arrive.

After discussing it, they decided to send Dr. Banner to New Mexico to wait.

They met up with Dr. Banner there.

"We secretly took over Hydra's three secret bases, we secretly sabotaged eleven assassination missions, and we replaced four important positions in the Tri-Wing Building with our own people..."

"Although this is only a small step in dismantling Hydra's operations, it is a good start."

……

Inside the meeting room, Thor had not yet arrived, and the participants were exchanging basic information.

Nick Fury began to tell everyone about the progress made in the fight against Hydra over the past year, which can be described as very good.

After all, Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. have different structures. S.H.I.E.L.D. is somewhat similar to China, with the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. leading and governing the organization.

Hydra is more like the United States; although it has a president in name, it has very little influence over the individual states.

This is also why Hydra can grow two more heads after one is cut off.

S.H.I.E.L.D. secretly took over three of Hydra's secret bases within a year, which is essentially equivalent to cutting off three of Hydra's heads. Such progress within a year is quite remarkable.

If this situation continues, it's only a matter of time before all of Hydra's heads are chopped off.

The others also talked about the recent progress, and the atmosphere was still very positive.

Swish!

Just as they were having a lively discussion, a dazzling, colorful light suddenly flashed outside the base, shining through the gaps in the blinds.

Everyone knew that Thor had arrived.

Sure enough, the next moment, the conference room door was pushed open, and a rough-looking man in full armor and a bright red cloak appeared in front of everyone.

It was Thor.

However, besides the hammer, Thor was also holding a square box that looked very ancient and profound, but its purpose was unknown.

"Looks like I'm a little late." Thor glanced at everyone present, and without any ceremony, found an empty seat and sat down.

He placed the box he was holding on the table.

"Thor, what is this?"

Tony Stark immediately pointed to the box and asked curiously.

"This is our Asgardian treasure chest."

Thor explained to everyone, "After I returned to Asgard, I consulted all the ancient books and records about dark elves and the aether, and discovered that the aether is indestructible."

“Back then, my grandfather actually had no way to destroy the ether particles; he just buried them deep inside. So… I prepared this.”

Thor patted the treasure chest as he spoke, “Once we get to the Dark World, I can use it to imprison the Aether particles, lure Malekith out, and destroy him in one fell swoop!”

"And then?" Black Widow asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Then...then I used this treasure box to put the Aether particles in and brought them back to Asgard," Thor said matter-of-factly.

“It sounds like a fairly good plan, but Thor…” Captain America raised a question, asking for confirmation, “Can this treasure chest really imprison the Aether?”

“Of course!” Thor nodded without hesitation. “This is a rare treasure chest, even within the treasury of Asgard!”

"Everyone, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tony Stark immediately stood up.

Captain America felt that doing this was a bit too hasty and planned to carefully devise a plan.

However, considering that he didn't know much about ether particles, treasure chests, and the like, and that his information was somewhat lacking, he didn't say much for the time being.

Nick Fury had already prepared the Quinjet fighter jets. Without much talk, the group boarded the jets and headed towards New Mexico.

Not long after they arrived, Dr. Banner joined the others.

The group boarded a vehicle and arrived at the abandoned building.

"Sir!"

The abandoned building had long been taken over by S.H.I.E.L.D. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents guarding the entrance immediately went up to report the current situation when they saw Nick Fury arrive with his men.

"Guard this place and don't let anyone in!"

Nick Fury casually gave an order, then led his group through the cordon and into the abandoned building.

They began searching for the critical point between the two worlds that Jane Foster had mistakenly entered.

Because we had seen the footage beforehand and sent people to mark the building immediately after the quiz ended, the search went very smoothly.

The group soon appeared outside the room.

"This is it."

Black Widow identified the markings on the wall and reminded everyone present.

No more idle chatter; everyone perked up and began to move forward cautiously, step by step.

"Thor, if we get lost in the Dark World, Heimdall will teleport us back, right?"

Tony Stark asked for confirmation as he walked.

“Of course,” Thor replied without turning his head. “As long as we get out of the critical point.”

"Then I have no problem." After Tony Stark finished speaking, the Iron Man helmet slammed shut, covering his head.

Whoohoo!
