Chapter 187 Traveling Through Time to Defeat Thanos?

Who cut off Thanos's head?

Who is Thanos?

What is this ghost?

After the questions appeared on the big screen, Doctor Strange became even more confused. When the quiz system announced the start of a new round of questions, he wondered what the questions were.

As a result, this is it?

It's utterly baffling.

"Doctor Strange?"

Then, Strange's gaze couldn't help but fall on the last option. "I'm on the option too? Why am I called Doctor Strange?"

"Cut off Thanos's head? That's utter nonsense!"

Star-Lord couldn't help but chuckle.

He followed Yondu the Marauder and had been wandering around various planets in the interstellar space for many years, so he was very familiar with the name Thanos.

That was a cosmic overlord, the kind that shook countless planets. What kind of person could cut off the head of such an overlord?

That's utterly absurd.

“Dr. Strange, and this one…” Captain America then turned his gaze to Strange and Star-Lord.

“Peter Quill!” Star-Lord immediately gave his name. “But I have a more impressive name, which I’d ​​prefer you to call me by: The Legendary Thief, Star-Lord.”

“I remember now,” Tony Stark spoke up, turning to Star-Lord. “This guy appeared in Endgame, but only briefly, like a background character, so… I only just remembered him now.”

Upon hearing Tony Stark's words, everyone present felt a greater sense of closeness to Star-Lord and lessened their wariness.

Well, so this is my future teammate.

But why does this teammate seem so unreliable?

"Endgame? What's that? What are you talking about?" Star-Lord was completely bewildered. "So why did you bring me here?"

“Mr. Star-Lord, please be patient. Mr. Steve will explain it to us soon, won’t he?” Strange said to Star-Lord.

Star-Lord then stopped wasting words and turned his gaze to Captain America, waiting for Captain America's answer.

"You two, the reason you came to this mysterious space is not because of anything we did. You are just like us, people selected by the quiz system."

Under their watchful eyes, Captain America briefly explained the quiz system to them.

"Mr. Steve, are you sure you're not joking with me?" Strange didn't believe him at all, and looked at Captain America with a very suspicious look.

Even Star-Lord, who had seen all sorts of unbelievable things in interstellar space, almost burst out laughing when he heard about this quiz system.

How could such a question-answering system possibly exist in the world?

“Dude, do I look like an idiot or a moron?” Star-Lord shrugged, laughed, and said to Strange beside him, “They’re trying to fob me off with this ridiculous excuse.”

“To be honest, it does look like him.” Strange looked Star-Lord up and down and nodded in agreement.

This guy looks like he has a low IQ, and when he opens his mouth, he has a strong goofy vibe. Although Strange is a scientist and never judges people by their appearance, this time he genuinely thinks that this guy is definitely mentally challenged.

"Dude, how dare you talk to me like that?" Star-Lord's face immediately fell.

“No offense intended, I was just expressing my feelings, and it wasn’t something I wanted to say, you asked me, right?” Strange shrugged.

“Dr. Strange, Mr. Star-Lord, don’t jump to conclusions yet. You’ll find out soon enough,” Black Widow said in a low voice to the two of them.

“Mr. Star-Lord,” Captain America continued in a deep voice, staring intently at Star-Lord as he asked, “you seem to know Thanos.”

“Man, which cave are you from? Is there anyone in the universe who doesn’t know the Mad Titan Thanos?” Star-Lord shook his head repeatedly. “He’s a madman. Wait a minute, why are you asking this? And this question… Who cut off Thanos’s head? Are you Thanos’s enemies? What planet is this?”

“Midgard!” Thor answered Star-Lord from the side, “the realm of Odin, the Allfather, also called Earth.”

"Earth?" Star-Lord paused, then began to carefully recall what planet this was.

However, he simply couldn't recall it.

“Odin?” Strange then turned his gaze to Thor. “Your attire does resemble that of Thor from mythology.”

“It is indeed me.” Thor smiled.

Strange: "..."

Is this some guy with delusions of grandeur?

"Dr. Strange, Mr. Star-Lord, we can discuss any questions after we answer the questions, but for now, let's begin."

Captain America then spoke up to remind everyone.

Tony Stark, Thor, Black Widow, and the others stopped paying attention to Strange and Star-Lord and focused their attention on the big screen.

"I'm too lazy to play any quiz games with you guys." Star-Lord shook his head, looking like he was saying, "I don't play with idiots," and turned to leave.

The result was, of course, without a doubt. After some experimentation, this guy discovered that he simply couldn't leave this place.

They had no choice but to turn back again, feeling rather disappointed.

Strange shook his head silently, becoming even more certain that Star-Lord wasn't quite right in the head.

One moment he was performing surgery on someone else, and the next he inexplicably appeared here. This method is bizarre and unsolvable. How could he leave so easily?

Even if I wanted to leave, I would probably have to complete this inexplicable quiz game as required by the other party.

Although Strange didn't know how Star-Lord got there, he could tell from the sight of the gun in Star-Lord's hand and the dust all over his body that he seemed to be fighting someone.

I imagine their situations are similar to my own.

Doesn't this person realize that there's no way to leave?

Do we have to hit a brick wall before we can get anywhere?

“This question is a bit strange,” Thor said, staring at the big screen. “Wasn’t Thanos killed by Stark with a snap of his fingers? How could he have his head chopped off again?”

"Even Thanos should be dead after his head is cut off, right? So this question is telling us... Thanos was killed twice?"

This is indeed a point that contradicts the information we currently have.

“These should be two different Thanos,” Tony Stark said to everyone after a moment’s thought.

"We've already seen two Captain Americas and two Tony Starks, so it's not too surprising that two Thanos would appear, right?"

Black Widow shrugged.

Everyone has reached a consensus on this point for now.

Whether it's time travel or travel to parallel worlds, the possibility of killing Thanos twice exists, regardless of the method.

"The question says that Thanos's head was cut off, which means that the weapon used by the person in the option is a powerful weapon," Captain America continued his analysis. "And my weapon is a shield."

The implication is that Captain America can be ruled out.

"My weapon is a hammer!" Thor chimed in. "Doctor Strange is a sorcerer; he uses magic! Tony Stark uses armor!"

"None of the four people in the options used sharp weapons."

“No, Thor.” Tony Stark shook his head. “In the Endgame, your weapon will no longer be a hammer, but an axe. As for Rogers…”

At this point, Tony Stark turned his gaze to Captain America, saying, "Since you can lift Thor's hammer, it's not impossible for you to lift Thor's axe as well."

"Don't tell me you're more used to using a shield. Your hammer combo in Endgame was so smooth and fluid, who would believe you hadn't practiced it in private?"

"When a more comfortable weapon becomes available, it is entirely possible for you to use the more comfortable weapon."

"My future battle armor will be a nano armor, which can condense into a shield, a giant fist, or even a sharp blade."

"We don't know much about Doctor Strange. It's not that strange that he uses some weapons, right?"

“Stark is right,” Black Widow nodded. “Just considering the possibility of cutting off Thanos’s head, all of the options have that possibility.”

At first glance, none of the four options seem to be able to be eliminated.

"Everyone, may I offer my opinion?" Strange tentatively suggested from the side.

He's already made his decision. Since he's already here, he might as well make the best of it. Since he's temporarily trapped in this quiz system and can't get out, he might as well try answering the questions.

Strange fears he won't be able to leave if he doesn't complete the quiz game.

Moreover, Strange himself was quite curious about the quiz system and wanted to know what would happen if he participated.

“Of course, please feel free to speak!” Captain America immediately said to Strange.

"Although I have never killed anyone, I have seen movies and news reports about it. The title says that Thanos's head was cut off, which is not a common method."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Strange spoke eloquently, offering his interpretation: "I wonder if this reflects something, such as, one of the options having a grudge against Thanos?"

“Strange hit the nail on the head,” Tony Stark immediately agreed. “Even when dealing with enemies, most people would rarely resort to such a cruel method as beheading.”

"I think the reason why the other party cut off Thanos's head was either because of the actual situation at the time, and had nothing to do with grudges, or, as the doctor said, the person who did it had a deep hatred for Thanos."

“That sounds reasonable,” Thor nodded in agreement. “But we simply cannot analyze the kind of situation that Stark described as being necessary due to practical circumstances.”

After all, the question doesn't reveal any details about that great battle, so everyone can only imagine it, which is naturally impossible to figure out.

"It seems we can only analyze this from the perspective of personal grudges for now," Black Widow shrugged.

"First of all, Thor witnessed Loki being killed, witnessed Heimdall being killed, and his entire spaceship was destroyed by Thanos, with all the Asgardians on board dying at Thanos's hands."

"From this perspective, I think Thor is the most suitable candidate."

"Although we don't know if the other people on the list have any grudges against Thanos, I think it shouldn't be more than Thor's, right?"

At least that's how it looks at first glance, since Thanos killed far too many people connected to Thor.

"Let's look at the others."

Captain America reiterated that, just to be on the safe side, the others should also be analyzed. "For me, the most important people are Bucky and Page, but I don't know if they will be killed by Thanos in the future."
