American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

The scepter rested quietly on the lab table, its surface shimmering with a pale blue stream of data, much like a digital projection from Jarvis.

The data streams were flowing at a speed that was beyond the range of human vision.

That's Jarvis decoding the scepter.

This work has been going on for almost a month now.

at last.

Drop drop!

A notification tone suddenly sounded.

The data flow surging around the scepter suddenly transformed, becoming something resembling source code.

"Decoding complete!"

A word began to flash.

"Sir, the decoding of the scepter is complete!"

Jarvis's voice was filled with excitement; the arduous task that had lasted for almost a month was finally completed.

Snapped!

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark, who was working, also showed an excited light on his face. He clapped his hands, immediately stood up, and went to the scepter.

After glancing at the source code data streams above, I couldn't even describe the excitement I felt.

From the initial quantization to the current decoding, it took about nine months in total, but it's finally finished.

Such a long time was truly an "epic undertaking" for Tony Stark; he had never spent so much time researching Iron Man armor.

"Jarvis, well done!" Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

“Sir, I can download all the data for the scepter at any time. Shall we begin now?” Jarvis asked Tony Stark for his opinion.

"Do not."

Tony Stark shook his head. "We won't do that. I want you to use the code you decoded to copy a program according to the scepter's encoding method."

Regardless, it was the Mind Stone, containing the most powerful force in the universe. Tony Stark understood that decoding such an existence was not the same as having complete mastery over it.

The Mind Stone could never be something so simple.

What he decoded was merely a portion of the Mind Stone's power, nothing more.

But the Mind Stone may also contain other, no, it must contain, energies beyond what technology can detect, even Jarvis cannot detect.

Just like the internal energy that Black Widow possesses.

Even the world's most advanced scientific instruments cannot detect it, and Jarvis's scan would also reveal the same result, as long as Black Widow does not use her inner strength.

But that thing really exists.

The same must be true for the Mind Gem.

So after some thought, Tony Stark decided that, to be on the safe side, it would be more reliable to recreate the program himself.

“Sir, if that’s the case, you’ll first need to build the largest and most advanced data center in America.”

Jarvis said.

"Let's get started! This is no problem for me at all. Can you find anyone richer than me in America?"

Tony Stark shrugged and said it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

For him, anything that can be done with money is a trivial matter.

"Understood, sir. I'll begin preparations now... Sir, our satellites have detected something." Jarvis's voice suddenly turned serious halfway through his sentence.

Without Tony Stark needing to say anything more, Jarvis projected a corresponding video in front of Tony Stark.

Tony Stark glanced at it, then his expression immediately turned extremely serious.

The images projected by Jarvis were actually one alien spaceship after another. These alien spaceships appeared one after another in space, as if they were teleporting, through jump points.

In a very short time, an interstellar fleet was assembled.

"Sir, this is an alien fleet! Judging from the direction they're advancing, it's heading towards Earth!" Jarvis's voice immediately followed.

"How much longer until we enter the atmosphere?" Tony Stark asked immediately in a deep voice.

“Sir, based on their speed, it will take them about three hours,” Jarvis replied immediately.

"Three hours, hopefully we can still make it."

Tony Stark's expression was extremely solemn, and without saying a word, he immediately contacted Nick Fury.

"What Starks did you say? An alien fleet has invaded Earth?"

Nick Fury was completely stunned when he heard the news; he was caught off guard.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. also has its own satellites, their satellites are not as advanced as the surveillance satellites that Tony Stark developed specifically to deal with alien invasions.

Besides, their satellites have other specific uses, not for interstellar surveillance.

So far, nothing has been found.

"Is it the Chitauri fleet?" Nick Fury asked immediately afterward.

“It’s not a Chitauri fleet, and it doesn’t look like Thanos’s fleet either. I don’t recognize what kind of fleet it is,” Tony Stark replied. “This is not the time to discuss this. You notify Thor immediately! I’ll notify the others! We’re assembling at the base!”

"OK!" Nick Fury responded, quickly moving to a suitable location and shouting into the air, "Heimdall, this is Nick Fury. We have an emergency here. Earth has been invaded by an alien fleet. Please notify Thor immediately!"

Tony Stark immediately notified Captain America, Black Widow, Dr. Banner, Hawkeye Barton, and other participants, and dispatched an Iron Man suit to pick them up.

About twenty minutes later, everyone began to gather at the quiz take-off base.

Thor also arrived.

"Stark, what's the specific situation now?"

Captain America looked at Tony Stark with a solemn expression and asked, as did everyone else present.

Without saying a word, Tony Stark pulled out a high-tech tablet and slapped it in front of him.

A digital projection appeared before everyone, and as they looked, they saw that there were about a dozen secondary motherships and one main ship, rapidly advancing towards Earth.

Who is the enemy?

Black Widow spoke up from the side.

"It's not clear yet. We won't get the footage of the spaceship's interior for a while, and my armor will have to wait a bit longer."

Tony Stark shook his head. "But it's obvious this isn't the Chitauri or Thanos; this isn't their fleet's style."

Everyone in the command room frowned slightly. Besides these two, how could there be other fleets invading Earth?

Could it be that Thanos sent another fleet?

However, the specifics of the situation remain unknown.

"My men are ready. Falcon Wings and blaster guns, five teams, more than ninety people, should be able to play a certain role."

Nick Fury spoke up at this point, "But such a small number of people won't be of much use. They are just a last resort. We can't let the fleet land, men. We have to keep them out of the atmosphere, Stark."

At this point, Nick Fury turned his gaze to Tony Stark's face and said emphatically, "I think it's time to put those suits of armor you've been developing to good use."

“But I only have a little over a hundred suits of armor, and we’re dealing with an entire fleet!” Tony Stark wasn’t optimistic. “That won’t be of much use either.”

One hundred mechs would be an absolutely terrifying mechanical army on Earth, but what about in an interstellar fleet?

That's simply not enough.

A drop in the ocean.

"Could we do what we did in the Battle of New York, and have Stark's armored vehicles deliver a nuclear bomb to wipe out the entire fleet?"

Hawkeye Barton made the proposal.

But before anyone else could object, he rejected the suggestion himself, saying, "Forget it, I think they should have an interception system."

The fact that the Chitauri fleet lacked an interception system is still unbelievable to many.

People don't think this situation is very relevant, because a fleet that has reached interstellar level would definitely have an interception system.

Using the same method as when we wiped out the Chitauri wouldn't work; we'd probably be intercepted and shot down by the enemy from a great distance.

After Hawkeye Barton uttered those words, a slight silence fell over the room.

"Besides nuclear weapons, do we have no other means to deal with Starfleet?" Dr. Banner, unable to contain the oppressive atmosphere, glanced at everyone and asked.

"I'm sorry, Banner, we don't have any at the moment," Nick Fury said, shaking his head with a hint of frustration.

They then discussed it for a few more minutes, but no one came up with a good way to stop the enemy fleet in outer space.

Given Earth's current overall strength, it is indeed quite difficult to accomplish something like this.

"Gentlemen, I do have an idea, but it's a bit risky." After a heated discussion, Tony Stark seemed to have come up with a plan, and he said to everyone.

“Stark, this isn’t about taking risks anymore,” Captain America immediately said to Tony Stark. “Logging Starfleet to Earth is the biggest risk of all!”

"Stark, tell me your plan," Black Widow urged from the side.

"After returning from the dark world last time, I felt it was a real shame that Malekith's warships were just destroyed like that, so I did some more things."

"I sent some armored vehicles into the critical point, collected a lot of wreckage from dark elf warships, and gained a lot of inspiration from them, learning a key technology."

"What technology, Stark?"

Dr. Banner asked with sparkling eyes, sensing that Tony Stark must have learned something extraordinary.

"The technology that makes spacecraft invisible."

Sure enough, Tony Stark's words immediately caught the attention of Dr. Banner and everyone present.

The Dark Elf fleet's stealth technology left a very deep impression on everyone; it was a technology that could even deceive Heimdall's eyes!

"I used this technology to build a few suits of armor, but because of the short time, I haven't had time to test them yet."

“Then why don’t we take this opportunity to test it?” Thor interrupted Tony Stark. “Could you send your invisibility suit with a nuclear bomb into outer space?”

"There's no point in doing that, because nuclear weapons can't be hidden, so we're not sending nuclear weapons up there, we're sending people up there instead."

Tony Stark said emphatically, "We can use our stealth armor to send a few people up to infiltrate their ship and take control from the inside, or destroy their warship!"

Everyone present was thrilled. Although Tony Stark's idea was a bit risky, it was undeniably feasible.
