#106 - The plot is accelerated

"You're listening to me?" Tony's face turned ugly, and he was also thinking about when and how Fury had placed the listening device on him.

"I'm listening to Natasha," Fury said.

"Oh, great." Natasha's expression also became very strange.

"I think I'll find a time to resign."

"Don't worry, you can't resign." Fury poured himself a drink amidst Tony's protests, ignored Natasha's middle finger, and drank the wine.

"Let's continue our previous topic." Fury put down his glass.

"I agree with the Captain's strategy. You've all seen that if aliens attack again, and we don't have enough strength to deal with them, then it might be more than just one nuclear bomb."

"Recruiting people and finding the gems must be done simultaneously." Steve folded his arms across his chest. "We don't know when the next enemy attack will be, so we must race against time."

"This point is still open for discussion." Tony expressed a different opinion.

"We're not some listed company, opening an email and sitting in the office waiting for resumes to be sent. I don't recommend publicizing that the Avengers are recruiting, because that might attract some riff-raff."

"I agree with that." Thor said. "We need elites."

"Then let's put the recruitment aside for now." Fury acted as a peacemaker.

"Now the gems are still the most important. We need to find the remaining two gems. If used properly, they might become the key to turning defeat into victory."

"Thor, I also have something to ask you." Fury looked at Thor again.

"What is it?" Thor looked at Fury questioningly.

"Have you heard of the Aether particle?" Fury asked.

"Aether?!" Thor was first surprised, then asked.

"How do you know about the Aether?"

"The Heavenly Work Society found out that the Aether particle might be the legendary Reality Stone?" Yang Le replied.

"Thank goodness you know." Fury breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you tell us more about it?"

"That's a story I heard when I was a child." Thor pondered for a long time, then slowly said.

"The Dark Elves, originating from boundless darkness, wanted to steal the light as well. The leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith, created the Aether and attempted to drag the world back into darkness. My grandfather Bor, united with other realms, defeated them and destroyed their plot."

"Then what about the Aether particle?" Fury asked.

"It was destroyed, along with the Dark Elves," Thor replied.

"At least that's how it's recorded in the stories I know."

"That's impossible." Yang Le denied Thor's words.

"It's basically impossible to destroy the Infinity Stones. Your grandfather should have sealed it. In order to prevent future generations from finding it, he lied that it was destroyed. Think about the Tesseract, can something with that kind of power be easily destroyed?"

"What you said makes some sense." Thor pondered for a moment.

"I need to go back and ask my father about the specific details."

"As soon as possible, we don't have time to waste," Yang Le urged.

However, Yang Le knew that this was all useless, after all, the Aether particle would only appear at a specific time, and Odin wasn't very clear about it either, so asking would be a waste of time.

So he didn't plan to tell everyone, anyway, there was no rush, and saying it would easily arouse suspicion, after all, even the main family didn't know about this, it would be too outrageous if they all knew.

Thor also knew that this was a serious matter and couldn't be neglected, so he immediately opened the Rainbow Bridge and returned to Asgard.

"Then I'll leave too." Yang Le glanced at the time and found it was late, so he took the initiative to resign.

The others didn't stop him, after all, the meeting was almost over, and everyone had their own things to do, so they were all preparing to leave.

Tony stopped Banner, saying he had some questions he wanted to ask him.

Steve followed the SHIELD trio and hitched a ride.

Yang Le also left Stark Tower after quietly leaving behind the shapeshifter.

————Dividing Line————

The newest novels are first published at Six/Nine/Book/City!

At night, in a quiet corner of New York Harbor, Yang Le sat in the time-space flywheel with optical camouflage turned on, quietly waiting for the shapeshifter to return.

Yang Le waited for a long time, until the second half of the night, before he saw the shapeshifter in the form of a mouse.

Opening the hatch to welcome his meritorious servant, now even Stark's technology is all in his pocket, and Yang Le also learned from the shapeshifter the reason why he came back so late. The shapeshifter played a video for Yang Le.

It turned out that after the meeting, Tony stopped Banner, not just to ask questions, but also to tell Banner his plan.

He wanted to build an army of machines, which Tony could easily do, but to control this army of machines, he needed an artificial intelligence to manage it, and Jarvis couldn't do that.

Tony hoped that Banner would help him complete an even better artificial intelligence. After a series of persuasions, coupled with the extraterrestrial threat, Banner was persuaded by Tony and agreed to help him complete the new artificial intelligence.

Tony also asked him to help him hide it, because he didn't want to have meaningless meetings to discuss whether this was okay or not. He didn't want to waste a single second, and Banner agreed to him.

In this way, the two extremely intelligent people, after everyone left, worked until nearly dawn, and finally stopped the experiment because they didn't want to be discovered under the threat of Pepper breaking in.

This gave the shapeshifter an opportunity. He took the opportunity to stun Jarvis, um, stun, anyway, that's what the shapeshifter said, then washed away the record of his attack, then copied all of Stark Group's technology, and finally returned to Yang Le here at dawn.

"Did I bring forward the Age of Ultron?" Yang Le scratched his head.

It seems that the shadow of the Chitauri fleet, coupled with Yang Le's extraterrestrial threat, the Damocles sword formed was too terrifying, and the pressure formed advanced the plot.

Although in the Age of Ultron, Tony relied on Hydra's research foundation to complete Ultron with Banner, Yang Le had no doubt that Tony had the strength to develop Ultron himself.

Tony Stark is a genius, and Bruce Banner is also a genius. With these two people together, it's only a matter of time to develop Ultron.

"Tsk." Yang Le smacked his lips. "Now the plot is on the fast track, I don't know if there will be big changes."

However, this is not what Yang Le has to consider now. His main task now is to study.

"Not hearing anything outside the window, focusing only on reading the books of sages." Yang Le pressed the dial, turned into Little Oddball, and began to swim in the ocean of knowledge in order to upgrade the Omnitrix.
