My gaze swept across the scene: the Avengers, missing Banner—War Machine, Falcon, Spider-Man...

Okay, actually, their combat strength is quite sufficient.

"Li Xia, you're from the S.P.E.L.D. Bureau. Can we call for backup from them in this situation?"

Steve asked expectantly. Although he didn't know the exact strength of the S.H.I.E.L.D., he could tell from the man in front of him that he was definitely not weak.

Li Xia shook his head: "Impossible. The Divine Spear Bureau only focuses on the East; external affairs are none of their concern. I came out because I have things to do."

"But this is a major event concerning the safety of the entire world!"

Steve said excitedly:

"This concerns everyone on the entire planet!"

"No, even if the whole world is destroyed, the East will remain safe and sound."

Li Xia said calmly, "What else can we do but say that? He really knows how to bring up the background."

He reached out and brushed his hand across the pillar in front of him. The Avengers' attention was drawn to his action, and they were astonished to see that several high-tech-looking syringe-like objects had appeared on the previously empty pillar.

"One for each injured person; it can help you recover quickly from your injuries."

It's a consensus that the Apostle's medicine can be used by characters in the story, because it's a real medicine, not just a prop in a game.

Although the effect is not as good as that of the apostles depending on the target, it is definitely not a problem for simple injuries like theirs.

"Stark, do you know the locations of Skynet headquarters and the Mind Scepter?"

Li Xia stood up and asked, while also starting to stretch her body.

"It's all been investigated... but what are you doing—"

"Leave Hulk and those two superhumans to me. You guys take care of the scepter and Skynet."

Stark wanted to say something more, but Black Widow and Hawkeye had already silently grabbed the medicine from the table.

"Can this be inserted anywhere?"

"Correct."

Without a word, they injected themselves directly into their arms. With the sound of the syringe starting, they shuddered violently and closed their eyes.

The medicine produced by the temple is known for its "potency." Side effects are not important; the important thing is to recover first. Anyway, any problems can be solved by returning to the temple.

In just a moment, Black Widow was shocked as she lifted her broken leg again and again, then slammed her fist into the plaster cast on it.

Hawkeye, standing nearby, was in a similar mood. He stretched his arms and muttered, "This drug will bankrupt many pharmaceutical companies around the world."

"Production is limited. Alright, contact your people, and once everyone is ready, set off immediately."

Since we're faced with a complete mess, there's only one best way: to cut the Gordian knot!

For him, the derivative world no longer held any meaning; it was merely a playground.

All eyes turned to Captain America. Steve took a deep breath and nodded.

"Guys, let's get started!"

Stark shrugged, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately stood up and began to call out:

“Hey Pepper, you are now…yes, I am safe now.”

Go to Queens and find a young man named Peter Parker. Ask him if he'd be willing to pull off a big heist...

Black Widow and Hawkeye then proceeded to Hawkeye's armory in the basement to begin equipping themselves with weapons.

Only then did Li Xia have time to chat with the three boys about what had happened that year.

"Tony is a very nice guy, and he's just my type."

Awoo gave Iron Man a very high rating:

"He also invited professors from several prestigious American universities to give us a considerable amount of private lessons. I have now earned my Master's degree in Mechanics!"

He pulled out a gold-embossed graduation certificate from somewhere in his personal space, complete with a photo of himself in a master's gown.

I wonder how much money Stark paid to get those old professors to vie for a photo with the dragon.

The kitten also held up its graduation photo and pictures.

"Meow!"

Only the silly dog ​​tilted its head.

It watched a ton of cartoons that year, like The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Li Huodan coughed and said, "This old minister has also been studying recently... specializing in organic chemistry, but this world follows a different path in the void."

The path in the void, or rather, the direction of development, is actually only two: one is the mystical side, and the other is the technological side.

The technology side studies external things, rather than focusing on individuals.

Even when strengthening oneself through various means, it is still about using the study of external things to nourish oneself.

The mystical side, on the other hand, is more idealistic. It focuses on the individual, such as the body, mind, and will, and uses the extreme power of the individual to influence external things.

Neither can be said to be superior or inferior; in fact, both ultimately develop to the extreme of individual power and can influence external things.

Superstring Hall is a prime example of a technology-driven institution, possessing cutting-edge technological capabilities.

After three days apart, Li Xia discovered that he had become the person with the lowest educational background in the team. How could this be allowed?

"Boss, the world is in such a mess now."

Awoo asked in the team chat, "Is it possible that Thanos won't come?"

"will not."

Li Xia flatly rejected it.

"Thanos, in a sense, is indeed the destiny of this universe."

Gathering all six Infinity Stones and snapping your fingers to wipe out half of all life is the predetermined fate and main theme of this universe.

No matter what we do, it only affects things on Earth and has nothing to do with the universe as a whole, so Thanos will definitely come.

He thought for a moment and said, "Our goal is to end this story right here when Thanos comes to Earth and all six Infinity Stones are gathered on this planet, so that he won't have a chance to come back."

Then go back early, the derivative world is indeed…”

Li Xia didn't finish his sentence, but the three little ones all understood what he meant.

Having spent so much time together, how could they not know their boss's character?

Although he appears calm, he is actually someone who loves adventure and enjoys fighting against powerful enemies.

The pool of derivative worlds is too small to give him what he wants.

"Hey, Xia, are you really going to face them alone?"

After finishing his call, Stark sat back down on the sofa, leaned forward, clasped his hands together, and looked intently at Li Xia, saying:

“I’m already good friends with the three of them, so I don’t want to watch you go to your death.”

They told me some of your stories, but Hulk and those two weren't ordinary enemies.

I studied your battle in New York carefully, and my conclusion is similar to that of S.H.I.E.L.D.: you unleashed some kind of psychological shock.

But this kind of impact had little effect on the Hulk.

Hulk is a warrior with extreme physical strength. Logically, he should focus on using energy or mental impact.

The Hulk's birth originated from a gamma storm, so..."

What Stark really meant was that mages aren't as powerful as knights.

It seems that the three little ones get along really well with Stark; he only cares about people he considers friends.

"Didn't you talk to him about anything else in detail?"

Aowu chuckled: "I'm sure I can tell the difference between bragging and revealing core intelligence."

Excellent apostle!

Li Xia thought for a moment and did not directly answer Tony's question. There was no faking a fight; a real battle would be more convincing than anything else.

“Tony, I’ll call you Tony now, just like them. I want to ask you for a favor.”

Do you know anything about the Infinity Stones?

Stark paused for a moment before replying, "I've studied it a bit; after all, it was my father who first salvaged it for research."

Li Xia then asked, "If you were asked to create a glove that could be inlaid with all six gems and unleash their power, could you do it?"

Six gems... and they need to be able to activate them?

Stark frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then said uncertainly:

"I can't give you a direct answer. We need to actually get all six gems before we can study whether we can make what you want."

That's right, without gems, it's impossible to make gloves.

In the original storyline, Stark developed the technological version of the Infinity Gauntlet only after he obtained and studied the six Infinity Stones.

"Let's leave it at that for now, get some rest."

Nothing in the night

The morning sun had just begun to shine when the roar of the Quinjet's engines made the entire cabin tremble.

The group walked out of the house and stood in the corridor watching the people getting off the plane.

One boy, who didn't look very old, seemed particularly excited. He was excitedly filming with a DV camera, muttering something unintelligible.

Although they were quite far apart, Li Xia could hear the sound carried by the wind with perfect clarity.

"Wow, a farm? The Avengers' secret assembly point is actually a farm?"

I thought it would be one of those high-tech bases hidden in the mountains, all made of glass and metal...

But this place is super cool!

Wait, I need to get the shot clear. If Ned knew I'd come to the Avengers headquarters, he'd keep pestering me for three days and three nights....”

He walked forward muttering to himself until he bumped into a group of people standing under the eaves. He suddenly stopped, and the DV camera almost tilted.

"Who did I just see? Captain America?! And Black Widow? Hawkeye? My God, I can't believe I'm seeing real people?"

Can I get your autograph?

The boy hurriedly straightened his clothes, then his eyes widened immediately when he caught sight of the three little ones squatting at Li Xia's feet:

"Wait, wait, wait! Is that a cat? The Avengers keep cats? And what about that... Snake or Dragonborn?"

Does it breathe fire? Can it fly? Can I touch it?

Spider-Man was about to ramble on when Iron Man grabbed his shoulder and lowered his voice, saying:

"Alright, now's not the time for you to ask for autographs or photos, kid. You can have as many autographs as you want after this is over!"

The little spider nodded vigorously, its eyes almost turning into stars, while its lips continued to move rapidly:

“I know, Mr. Stark, you must be up to something big, right!”

The TV said you were terrorists, but I never believed it! Ned told me there were strange data packets on the internet, and he suspected someone had hijacked the network—!

This was the first time Li Xia and the three little ones had ever met such a talkative person. They watched as Iron Man helplessly pressed down on his head and led him into the room.

It's also clear that Stark genuinely likes this young man.

"So, we're preparing for war?"

Falcon crossed his arms and asked excitedly.

Steve stopped, picked up the shield leaning against the side, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily:

"Start the war!"

Hawkeye jerked his arm, and the folding bow in his hand immediately unfolded, the bowstring humming.

Black Widow holstered the two pistols in the holsters on her thighs and stretched her arms.

Thor silently gripped his hammer, still consumed by self-reproach, believing that his gullibility in trusting the enemy and handing over the Mind Control Scepter had led to the current predicament.

Iron Man's mask fell down automatically, and a faint blue light shone from his eyes.

“Wait, how are we going to get there?” Stark suddenly thought of something and opened his mask again to ask, “The defenses there are quite tight now. The Quinjet alone might not be able to break through the air defense network.”
