Chapter Seven: The Recognized Game Company

In his relatively short career as a sorcerer, Doctor Strange experienced the limits of a sorcerer for the first time.

I put an ice pack on my head to relieve the throbbing pain.

"This type of sorcerer is outrageous! How can there be such a sorcerer?" Doctor Strange muttered indignantly.

His fight with Tony was so bad that Tony's fighting style completely shocked him.

The opponent's armor could actually use its mechanical arms to make hand gestures and combine magic to cast spells, and could even chant incantations to counter his spells while casting. Doctor Strange felt this was the most frustrating fight he had ever had. It wasn't the speed at which he suppressed the spellcasting of Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, nor the awkwardness of being overwhelmed by the power of the Infinity Stones when fighting Thanos.

It's more like the frustration of wanting to go to the toilet but being thrown into the mirror world by other mages, who then turn the toilet upside down so he can't use it.

Some spellcasting materials that he would normally be reluctant to use were smashed by the other party without hesitation, and used in training matches.

"If you're so rich, why don't you buy warships..." Doctor Strange uttered a sound of poverty.

"Don't take it too seriously, Tony is just showing off his wealth." Doctor Strange heard a voice and turned to see Fu You sitting down next to him.

"I remember your name is Fu You, right?"

"Correct."

Doctor Strange was also deeply impressed by Fu You. Everything had been fine when he used the Time Stone to calculate the future. But when he started calculating the timeline of the girl in front of him, the timeline immediately went haywire.

Doctor Strange couldn't figure it out either.

"Your world is truly amazing. Tony has grown to that level," Doctor Strange remarked.

Tony's armor is no ordinary item. It not only incorporates advanced nanotechnology but also features many magical materials that Doctor Strange is very familiar with. Finally, it also has a quantum system that he knows nothing about. It can be said that the configuration is so extravagant that it's dazzling.

"I remember you said that in your world I was still the Sorcerer Supreme?" Doctor Strange raised an eyebrow. "How exactly did I take the title of Sorcerer Supreme from Tony Stark?"

Doctor Strange was very curious; he could easily tell that Tony and he were from the same school. That's why he was even more curious about how he had managed to get ahead.

Fu You crossed his arms and thought for a moment: "It seems that the Ancient One said that you have more leave at the hospital, so you can cover more shifts."

Doctor Strange's lips twitched. So, I'm just a tool?

“And I need to correct something.” Fu You held up three fingers: “There are actually three Sorcerers Supreme designated by the Ancient One. Tony and you, and there’s another one I asked the Ancient One about, but she just smiled and wouldn’t tell me.”

Doctor Strange hesitated for a long time before finally asking in a low voice:

"Why is your universe so awesome?"

Fu You was at a loss for words when asked this question.

“Actually, if you think about it, we only started to grow rapidly after Fu You came.” At this moment, another voice interrupted, it was Tony holding a wine glass.

He walked in and sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Fu You.

“Since Fu You found us, everything has changed. We won a great victory in the Battle of New York, the citizens have become capable of protecting themselves, and the aliens’ attitude toward coming to Earth has become that of visiting a holy site.”

"It seems like everything is moving in a better direction."

Fu You was a little embarrassed by what was said and awkwardly scratched his head: "No, I just developed some games and was forced to run a few dungeons."

"Look how humble this ordinary hero is, much better than some nouveau riche who like to show off." Doctor Strange glared at Tony, still angry.

"You don't know?" Tony looked at Doctor Strange with a strange expression: "The assets of this girl in front of you could buy three warships in the Nova Corps, and those would be flagships."

Doctor Strange's already horse-like face grew even longer, his chin almost falling to the ground.

"What! We can buy three Nova Corps flagships!" came a shout from the doorway.

Upon hearing this, Rocket Raccoon, who was standing at the door, was so startled that he dropped his popcorn and slid in to Fu You, grabbing her fair thigh.

"Big-breasted boss! Please take me under your wing!"

Clang!

A large sword was planted in front of it, and Fu You bent down, looking at Rocket Raccoon with a gloomy expression:

"What did you say?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, sorry for bothering you." Rocket Raccoon immediately backed down and let go of her hand.

In addition to training, the gaming pods were gradually set up and placed in the Avengers Hall.

Old Tony has already started mass production as instructed by Fu You, aiming for a short-term release.

"In your universe, Stark Industries has switched to selling games?" Old Tony asked Thor beside him, somewhat puzzled.

“Of course! Stark Industries is the number one gaming company in the universe, known throughout the entire cosmos, even the Nova Corps knows about it,” Thor exclaimed.

"What? Those old fogies from the Nova Corps play games too?" Star-Lord, the idiot from the Guardians of the Galaxy, exclaimed in surprise.

Thor nodded. "Yes."

At this moment, Tony, who was chatting with Fu You in the inner room, poked his head out and warned sternly:

"Let me emphasize this again: Stark Industries is an energy company! Saying we're a gaming company is another one, or you'll lose your account!"

"Alright, alright, Energy Company." Thor waved his hand, not really caring.

On Xandar, the sign is called "Stark Energy - Company," and people complain that "energy" is the name.

If you ask any alien, they'll all answer "game company."

"Is this thing really working?" Doctor Strange came out of the inner room and looked at the machine in front of him.

This game pod is an enhanced version, with all the games available for selection. Even regionally exclusive titles like the Honkai Impact series are included—who prefers a particular region's combat style anyway?

"It's guaranteed to work," Thor said, patting his chest. "That's how we won the Battle of New York."

"But you can't beat me now either," Fat Thor said, shrugging as he held up some fried chicken.

Thor was speechless for a moment.

“New Yorkers can use this training to beat up the Rocky.”

"Oh! That's pretty strong!"

Ignoring the two Thors' antics, Doctor Strange simply shook his head: "What's so great about learning this? Wouldn't it be better for me to do research at the New York Sanctum?"

But since we've already made the request, and it's a game, it's not a bad idea to give it a try.

[1 hour later]

"Holy crap, where's T? Hold him back! Let me conjure an Arcane Bomb!" Doctor Strange's shouts echoed throughout the hall.

Tony, frustrated, turned off his external voice communication.

"Who just said they weren't going to play?" Tony asked with a knowing look, which was quite subtle.

1. I know what you want to say. After today's update, there will be 3 updates tomorrow, a consecutive update. Aren't I generous?

2. My new book finally made it to the homepage, even though the results weren't great, I'm still happy, haha. I think I've pretty much reached my limit; I'm not very good at this anyway, so it was expected. But I can't be tempted to make easy money. Rather than padding the word count with 200 million words, I'd rather give my old book a decent ending.

3. (See image below) Those who experience hallucinations are suffering from Genshin Impact syndrome.

Chapter 8 Thanos and the Bully

"Has the Pym Particle research been successful?" Thanos sat on his golden toilet on his throne, looking down at the henchmen delivering the message.

The henchman nodded and bowed, replying, "Lord Thanos, the research is complete, but the quantity is limited."

Thanos nodded; it was perfectly normal for research to be limited in its early stages. His plan had been foiled, Nebula had failed to open the quantum tunnel, and Thanos's vanguard had nearly lost their way in the quantum realm.

Although Thanos once suspected that Nebula had betrayed him, none of that mattered.

Upon his return, he ordered the research team to study the Pym particle and began developing quantum tunneling.

Thanos is not only a powerful cosmic overlord, but also a genius with top-tier intelligence. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to call himself the smartest scientist in the universe.

Now that everything is ready, we can use the beacon we obtained during our previous time travel to teleport a second time and reach the future to obtain the Infinity Stones.

"I think you'd better not act impulsively." Suddenly a voice rang out between the thrones.

Thanos was startled and slammed his hand on the chair, standing up abruptly and shouting, "Who goes there?!"

How could someone manage to sneak into this place right under his nose?

A dark purple portal appeared out of thin air, and a purple giant with wrinkles on his chin stepped out.

A purple sweet potato spirit with an evil smile appeared.

Thanos was stunned, not even realizing what he was doing: "Who are you? You're so ugly!"

The man who came out was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he cursed, "Can't you even look in the mirror yourself?"

Thanos then realized that the other person was another version of himself. But this only made things more confusing.

After all, their outfits were almost identical, and the only way to tell them apart was by who could sit in the chair, since one of them, Thanos, had a split butt.

"Are you a fake, or someone from another time?" Thanos pondered for a moment before asking.

Thanos from the world of Fuyou is more evil and ambitious than the Thanos of this world. Let's call him the Cockroach Bully... cough cough, let's call him Bully.

The bully chuckled and said, "Of course it's you. I'm here to help you win this battle."

The bully then revealed some things that only the two of them knew, thus proving his identity.

Why do you think I need your help?

"Naturally, it's because they understand the gap between the two sides." The bully's lips curled into a smile.

The two Thanos stood facing each other, neither willing to back down, until finally the two Thanos reached an agreement.

Following the bully's suggestion, a small force was sent to raid the Avengers headquarters, while Thanos's flagship watched the battle unfold from behind.

Both sides approved the plan, and Thanos naturally had the confidence that his army was the strongest in the universe.

However, the bully smiled at this:

"You have no idea what level of battle you're going to face."

.....

Earth, Avengers Headquarters.

Training has been underway for some time now, and the Avengers have all started using the gaming pods and are raving about Stark Energy's games.

Tony has been furious these past few days, and he's been trying to explain the official name of his company.

"Sir, quantum shuttle reaction detected," Jarvis suddenly reported, and a red warning appeared on the console.

"They're here!" Tony's eyes sharpened; Thanos's army had arrived.

They had discussed this before: the reason Thanos's army hadn't arrived yet was because they didn't have accurate quantum coordinates. They might arrive tomorrow, or they might take several years, but the longer it took, the more advantageous it would be for the Avengers.

But since we're here, there's no reason not to fight.

"Avengers! Assemble!" Tony shouted.

Fu You, who was sleeping on the sofa with a comic book covering his face, was startled by a shout. He rolled over, fell to the ground, and bounced.

"What's wrong?" Fu You was still a little confused.

Tony shook his head helplessly.

......

Not far from the Avengers base, Thanos's army successfully jumped over.

When I regained my sight, the outside world had changed completely. Not only had it jumped in space, but it had also jumped in time.

"Is this the future?" Thanos looked at the monitor screen.

Because of the snap, many industries on Earth ceased operations, and the location issue made the area extremely desolate.

Thanos had already seen what happened from Nebula and knew that this was the world after he snapped his fingers, and it wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.

"Then this time, after obtaining the Infinity Stones, let's kill all living beings and reshape this world." Thanos's lips curled into a wicked smile.
