Chapter 161 Soul Gem

On the outer space temple, Thanos' huge and mighty body suddenly began to decay, and even emitted a foul odor. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately cut off the connection with the spiritual scepter.

As soon as the connection was broken, the rotten curse stopped immediately. Thanos breathed a sigh of relief, and then cursed bitterly. He thought he had a chance this time, but he didn't expect that Mephisto and Loki were defeated miserably, causing the Mind Stone to fall into the hands of the Demon King of Hell. hand.

With the strength of the Demon King of Hell, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to get the gem back.

"Don't be anxious, your destiny will definitely be fulfilled."

At this moment, a vague voice sounded in Thanos's ears. At the same time, the decay on Thanos' body quickly recovered, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original state.

"I know that I will fulfill my destiny for this universe and for you."

Thanos said softly, and the five Obsidian generals quickly lowered their heads, and Thanos began to talk to himself in the air again.

In fact, talking to oneself is pretty good. Sometimes, Thanos even hugs and kisses in the air, which is super disgusting.

On Earth, after solving Thanos' consciousness, Andrew dug out the Mind Stone from the Mind Scepter. A large amount of yellow psychic energy poured into his body like lightning, and was easily suppressed by him.

However, Andrew was not happy about this, but instead frowned a little - he found that the Mind Stone was resisting him, which meant that he and the Mind Stone had a very poor compatibility.

The poor compatibility means that Andrew cannot use the Mind Stone without the help of external force, such as the Mind Scepter or the Infinity Gauntlet.

The Infinity Gauntlet can exert most of the power of the Mind Stone. In contrast, the Mind Scepter can only exert some of the power of the gem. This is why Loki is so weak.

At this time, Ancient One's voice sounded in Andrew's ears: "Mechanical Demon King, you shouldn't have too many infinite gems. I suggest you concentrate on studying the space gems and don't be distracted."

"Why?"

Andrew asked. He didn't doubt what Gu Yi said, he just simply wanted to know the reason.

Ancient One must have known that the space gems were in SHIELD, but she had never had the idea of ​​​​the space gems. You know, Kama Taj's magic and the space gems are a perfect match.

In addition, Odin once collected the Infinity Stones and even created the Infinity Gauntlet, but in the end, he gave up on this idea and hid the Space Stone on Earth.

Ancient One said: "Just think that the infinite stone is unknown. Wherever it goes, disaster will occur."

"A top-notch treasure will naturally cause a bloody storm."

Andrew knew that Ancient One refused to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions. He thought for a while and said to Odin: "God King, lend me the Infinity Gauntlet."

Odin nodded: "Yes, but you have to lend me the Mind Stone when I need it."

"no problem."

Andrew did not refuse, and soon, the Infinity Gauntlet teleported to him.

This Infinity Gauntlet is only a semi-finished product and can only control one Infinity Stone - Odin gave up halfway and did not completely complete the Infinity Gauntlet.

What does Andrew want with the Infinity Gauntlet? It's very simple, just get a gem projection and put it in the mind scepter.

This time, Andrew was not planning to plot against anyone, he just wanted the Scarlet Witch to be born smoothly - well, it was really simple.

As for Ultron, Vision and so on, Andrew said, it’s none of my business?

Soon, the imitation Mind Scepter was completed, and Andrew returned it to its original location. Then, he threw the Mind Stone into the depths of hell and sealed it.

Even if he couldn't use such a top-notch treasure, Andrew would not hand it over. He didn't want someone else to use the Mind Stone to deal with him one day.

"The mission is over, return to the spacecraft."

In New York City, the Peace Knights began to retreat, and the New York Cosmic Cube incident came to an end.

The giant mechanical figure disappeared, and Tony finally dared to raise his head. He looked at the bright moon in the sky, took a long breath, and said, "It's over. All the demons are dead, and the aliens have lost their movement."

The superheroes breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they said tiredly: "It's finally over."

Tony turned to look at Johnny and asked: "Ghost Rider, why would the Demon King of Hell help us destroy the demons?"

Others were also full of doubts about this. Johnny said: "To put it simply, two hell demons are in a civil war. Also, I am not a high-end imitation of Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider is just like me."

"The Demon King's civil war? One side wants to destroy New York, and the other side chooses to protect New York in order to stop him?"

Tony laughed at himself: "We are really lucky, we have the devil to help us."

Everyone was silent, and Johnny said: "You are indeed lucky. Although the devil is a bit stingy, he is very principled and his character is guaranteed."

Steve was stunned when he heard this. Why do these words sound so familiar? Could it be that the Demon King just now was the Demon King of Hell who signed a soul contract with him?

"Character guaranteed? That's the devil of hell, not a human being."

Tony looked at the desolate Manhattan, clenched his fists and said: "We are too weak, we must become stronger, strong enough to protect New York and the world without relying on other people."

The superheroes nodded silently. This time, at least tens of thousands of people died in New York. This kind of thing must never happen again.

"We must become stronger." The superheroes secretly made up their minds.

"There are many citizens trapped in the ruins. I'm going to help them."

Gwen jumped on the flying skateboard and said. Steve picked up the psychic scepter next to him and nodded: "Let's go together. By the way, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube hasn't been found yet. Everyone is looking around. That thing must be kept properly, it's too dangerous. ”

"Um."

Everyone nodded and began to rescue people and deal with the aftermath. At the same time, the American government also started functioning, and the National Guard entered New York to rescue people.

On the rooftop of Stark Tower, Dr. Reed and Hawkeye received physical therapy (grabbing their heads and smashing them) and returned to normal one after another. The two looked ashamed when they recalled what happened before.

"You two, although you have returned to normal, for safety reasons, you must undergo a special inspection."

Natasha said, Dr. Reed and Hawkeye did not object. Hawkeye hesitated and asked: "Natasha, how many have I killed..."

Natasha advised: "Don't ask, Barton, it's not your fault."

"No, that's my fault."

Hawkeye secretly clenched his fists, and he swore that he would never let others control him again.

Not long after, SHIELD agents found the Cosmic Cube, and Garrett immediately called Nick Fury to report the good news.

"Very good, take it back to the Special Command, Garrett, protect it personally, I will rush over right away."

Nick Fury was overjoyed. He continued: "In addition, send people to enforce security around the space carrier and not allow others to approach. The damage to the carrier is not great. If it is repaired, it may still be usable."

The space carrier was magnetically transferred to the square by Trask. The main structure was still intact, but the core part suffered heavy losses.

Why didn't Andrew take the Helicarrier away? Two words, disgust.

"Does that thing need to be repaired?"

Garrett said: "In front of the alien warship, it is a target, flying and falling every time."

Nick Fury looks a little ugly, what are you talking about? He said: "Our opponent is not only an alien battleship, but it can also be upgraded. Next time, it will never fall again."

Three-agent agent Garrett said nonchalantly: "I hope so."

At the same time, Tony searched for survivors in a collapsed hospital, with many patients and doctors trapped underneath.

At this time, Jarvis reminded: "Mr. Stark, Roxanne has started live broadcast."

"It finally started. Isn't it too late this time?"

Tony complained, and then he watched the live broadcast while rescuing people. He wanted to know the details of this incident.

In fact, not only Tony wants to know, but other citizens also want to know what happened and why did this disaster that killed tens of thousands of people happen?

Luo Shan did not disappoint everyone. She said in the live broadcast room: "This incident was caused by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which first appeared during World War II..."

After introducing the Cosmic Cube, Roshan explained in detail how Loki snatched the Cosmic Cube and opened the passage to hell. The citizens were furious. It turned out that SHIELD and Loki had done everything.

"Damn Loki, damn S.H.I.E.L.D."

The citizens cursed and swore that when the disaster completely subsided, they would march and demonstrate to ask the government to shut down SHIELD.

"Shet, I knew this would happen."

Nick Fury watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone and couldn't help but curse. Hill said solemnly: "Director, this is not a good test. SHIELD must give the people an explanation."

The so-called explanation is to find someone to take the blame - this incident is very serious, and Garrett's level cannot bear the blame. Only the director level is qualified to take the blame.

"I know, don't worry, I have always been the scapegoat for others, no one can use me as the scapegoat."

Nick Fury said proudly, and Hill was speechless. Is this something to be proud of? Also, is this what the Director of SHIELD should say?

Immediately, Hill asked curiously: "Director, who are you going to use as a scapegoat?"

Nick Fury smiled proudly and said: "Mobilize all the media we control and let them focus on reporting the World Security Council's order to detonate a nuclear bomb."

"Director, you want the World Security Council to be a scapegoat?"

Hill was shocked. Isn't the director too brave? You know, the five major directors represent the five major countries and are the superiors of SHIELD.

"Those bastards were wrong in the first place."

Nick Fury snorted: "Remember to let the media mention that I refused the order of the World Security Council and sent superheroes to prevent the nuclear bomb from detonating.

In addition, put the credit for saving New York on the Avengers and reduce public anger against S.H.I.E.L.D. "

Hill reminded: "Director, Director Malik is not that easy to deal with."

"It doesn't matter, Pierce will definitely support me."

Nick Fury picked up his cell phone and called Pierce. After hearing his request, Pierce looked confused - you want me, a Hydra leader, to help you deal with another Hydra leader? Nick Fury, you are such a little genius.
