American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

"Makes sense!"

Star-Lord immediately agreed, "Captain America may not be able to withstand Thanos's attack right now, but that may not be the case in the future."

But those who know Captain America are not as optimistic as Star-Lord.

After all, Captain America's strength mainly comes from the serum. Once injected, the boost is one-time, unlike the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which can be continuously developed and strengthened.

Even if Captain America's strength does increase in the future, the increase will likely be extremely limited.

Of course, this is just one direction for judgment, and no one can guarantee it 100%.

After all, no one can be sure whether Captain America will have other opportunities in the future, or whether he will significantly increase his strength through other means.

“I think Captain Rogers can withstand a single blow from Thanos in the future,” Tony Stark said again, his voice now much more certain.

This piqued the curiosity of everyone present.

Why was Tony Stark so certain?

Do you remember the Endgame?

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Tony Stark took the initiative to explain his reasoning to everyone.

“I remember telling you that Rogers’ shield was shattered by Thanos’s sword. I may not have been specific enough, so let me describe it to you in more detail now.”

"Rogers held the shield up with both hands in front of him," Tony Stark gestured simply. "Thanos then took the big sword and slashed down, three or four times, until he broke Captain America's shield."

"Although he was somewhat disheveled and eventually fell to the ground after being hacked down, well... yes, Rogers did block Thanos's barrage of attacks; at least he completely blocked the first strike."

“If his shield hadn’t shattered, I believe Rogers might have been able to block a few more hits.”

After Tony Stark explained it this way, everyone present had no more questions.

The fact that Captain America was able to block Thanos's sword strike with his shield proves that Captain America's strength was indeed sufficient to withstand Thanos's power.

So it's not surprising that he blocked Thanos's attack.

"Rogers can't be ruled out for now, so what about Scarlet Witch?"

Black Widow then shifted her gaze downwards, landing on Scarlet Witch's options. "We still don't know enough about her."

Although the Scarlet Witch has demonstrated some magical abilities, each time it was only a few moves and not enough to fully showcase her power.

More importantly, the magical methods are different from Captain America's serum, and the magic may have a great deal of room for growth.

Even if Scarlet Witch can't withstand Thanos's attack now, it's perfectly reasonable for her to grow to that level in the future.

So everyone at the scene exchanged a few words and ultimately agreed that the Scarlet Witch could not be ruled out either.

Like Captain America, her options are currently pending and will be selected after a final comparison.

After Scarlet Witch, everyone started discussing the third option, which was Iron Man Tony Stark.

"I think everyone has no doubt about my abilities, right?"

Tony Stark, with a slightly smug look on his face, said to everyone, "I'm the man who made Thanos bleed! I punched a bloody gash in Thanos's face, something even Thor and Hulk couldn't do."

The first question Tony Stark was given when he was pulled into the quiz space was this one: Who left a wound on Thanos's face?

The candidates for that question included Hulk and Thor, but the final answer was Tony Stark.

This is enough to show that neither Thor nor Hulk could do what Stark could do.

"A wound?" Thor protested, then chuckled. "I chopped off Thanos's head!"

"Yeah, after a bunch of people subdued the heavily injured Thanos, I fought Thanos one-on-one!" Tony Stark protested.

“Stark, it’s just a small wound, nothing to brag about.” Thor curled his lip, indicating that it was nothing special.

"Okay!" Captain America interrupted them, summarizing, "Stark wore the nanotech armor in the future and fought Thanos hand-to-hand, so there's no doubt he can also block a punch from Thanos, so..."

At this point, Captain America turned his attention to the last option, "Drax the Destroyer, does any of us know him?"

Everyone present looked at each other and shook their heads; none of them had ever heard of this name.

"Destroyer, what an arrogant name." Thor was slightly annoyed. "Is he more powerful than Asgard's ultimate weapon?"

When Thor said that, everyone suddenly understood.

That's right, isn't that "fire-breathing giant mech" from Asgard called the Destroyer?

His strength was simply overwhelming; even Tony Stark, Captain America, and Thor combined couldn't defeat him.

In the end, they could only resort to a clever trick to send it to an unknown realm.

That Drax, it turns out, also has this nickname.

“This person is no ordinary person. Let’s assume for now that he can also withstand a blow from Thanos,” Captain America said to everyone after a moment of contemplation.

"So, all four of the options have the ability to withstand a single blow from Thanos?" Strange shrugged slightly, glancing at everyone. "Is there any way we can eliminate one of them now?"

“In fact, there really is,” Black Widow said first, clearly recalling something.

"Everyone, do you remember the image of Commander Fury turning to ashes? At that time, Commander Fury asked Hill, 'Have you still not made contact with Stark?' Stark should not have participated in the Battle of Wakanda at all!"

After Black Widow mentioned it, Captain America remembered it too.

His eyes gleamed, and he nodded in agreement, "That's right! Didn't they use satellites to monitor the entire Earth back then, but they still couldn't find Stark?"

"If Stark were fighting Thanos in Wakanda, this shouldn't have happened."

“I’m glad you thought of that too,” Tony Stark added. “However, your descriptions aren’t quite accurate. Nick Fury asked, ‘Has there been any news from Stark yet?’ Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a crucial word in that sentence: ‘still.’”

"Still no news? What does that mean? It means I hadn't heard from anyone before the unidentified object appeared over Wakanda!"

"We now know that those unidentified objects are Thanos's fleet, there's probably no doubt about it."

"In other words, I was already gone before Thanos invaded Wakanda!"

"So that's right. Although your analysis isn't rigorous enough, your conclusion is correct. I did not participate in the Battle of Wakanda."

After discussion, Tony Stark was largely ruled out, with little controversy.

Tony Stark went missing before Thanos's fleet arrived in Wakanda, which clearly meant he was held up by some other important matter.

The possibility that he did not participate in the Battle of Wakanda is still very, very high.

However, apart from Iron Man Tony Stark, after some thought, no other known clues could be found to support their decision to eliminate any other person.

From now on, all we can do is conduct "pure analysis," without any supporting known clues.

"Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Destroyer."

Black Widow stared at the three options and spoke eloquently, "I know nothing about the Destroyer, so I won't talk about it for now. But if it's Captain America and Scarlet Witch, I'll rule out Scarlet Witch."

“We all know that the Scarlet Witch is a witch. She is skilled in magic, and we have seen her fight. She always fights using magic.”

"Captain Rogers' style is hand-to-hand combat! At most, he'll throw his own shield."

"And catching Thanos's blow clearly falls into the category of close-quarters combat, so considering both of their styles, I think Captain America is more likely to be chosen."

“That sounds reasonable.” Thor nodded in agreement.

Scarlet Witch is proficient in magic, can fly, attack enemies from a distance, control objects remotely, and may even possess other amazing magical abilities.

But Captain America is basically all about hand-to-hand combat.

Comparing the two, Captain America naturally has a greater chance of winning.

"And what about the Destroyer?" Star-Lord pointed to the last option and asked everyone, "Nobody knows him, how are we supposed to tell?"

“If it were up to me, I would choose Captain America,” Strange said. “If all the other options were eliminated and only the Destroyer was left, I would choose the Destroyer.”

"But Captain America hasn't ruled it out yet; it's a perfectly valid option."

"I cannot give up an option that perfectly meets my requirements in order to choose an option that I know nothing about."

Strange's thought process basically represents the thought process of most people present.

Given the choice between Captain America and a Destroyer he knows nothing about, most people would choose Captain America.

“This sounds like gambling,” Star-Lord shrugged. “But Captain America definitely has a better chance of winning against Drax, so I’ll bet on Captain America. Now it’s my turn to answer the question, right?”

When Star-Lord got to this point, he glanced at everyone present.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he looked at the big screen and said his answer: "I choose A, Captain America, Steve Rogers."

[Correct answer!]

The system immediately issued a notification sound.

"YES!"

Star-Lord slapped his thigh excitedly. He got it right! That's great!

Ever since he received the space combat suit as a reward, Star-Lord has been eagerly anticipating another reward from the system.

Star-Lord had no idea what the Eight Gates Formation was, but how could a system reward be anything less than amazing?

[Congratulations to Peter Quill for winning the reward: Opening the First Gate of the Eight Inner Gates!]

Swish!

As soon as the system gave this notification, Star-Lord's mind was filled with information about the first gate of the Eight Gates.

Of course, this physical skill was also forcibly bound to Star-Lord, which goes without saying.

Star-Lord can open his gate with just a thought, even if he has no chakra.

This is the difference between system gifts and self-cultivation.

"This is... the Eight Gates Formation?"

Star-Lord became excited immediately and couldn't wait to try it out, opening the door in no time.

An immense power, like a vast ocean, instantly surged into every muscle and cell of Star-Lord.

He immediately felt that his whole body was full of power, and he could pull the plow and plow ten acres of land without blinking, without even breaking a sweat.

"Hahaha! That's amazing, really amazing! I am the legendary thief Star-Lord!" Star-Lord laughed excitedly.

Whoohoo!

Amidst the laughter, Star-Lord couldn't contain himself any longer and threw several punches into the air in quick succession, his fists so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

They even produced that whooshing sound as they cut through the air.
