#551 - A favorable situation turned into an unfavorable situation

Although Yang Le wanted to keep it short, he knew from Steve's expression that this wouldn't be a brief story.

“This matter starts from when you disappeared.” Steve carefully considered his words before slowly beginning. “When we initially discovered your disappearance, we were very panicked because we weren't sure if something had happened to you.”

“We spent a lot of manpower and time searching for you, and in the end, we only found out about the possible location of your base thanks to Tony.”

Pu Ba couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although he didn't know how Tony knew the location of his secret base, if it was really as Steve said, then they should have entered the base once as early as about two years ago.

“We were originally planning to enter here to investigate, but a sudden event disrupted all our plans.”

At this point, a stern look appeared on Steve's face, and his hands clenched together involuntarily. Because he was using so much force, even through the gloves, the bones could be heard creaking.

“That was the beginning of everything. The Hydra organization, which should have been destroyed, has resurfaced at some point.” Steve paused here, then immediately explained.

“Hydra is an evil organization on Earth. I've been dealing with them for half my life. I know that no matter what they want to do, it's definitely not a good thing, so we had to put aside the task of finding you and deal with Hydra's affairs first. Sorry.”

Seeing Yang Le nod in understanding, Steve continued, “We received news that Hydra's target was the Cosmic Gems that the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. were searching for together. In order to prevent their plan from succeeding, we and Hydra entered a long war of attrition.”

“Initially, we had the upper hand and gradually gained control of three Infinity Stones. These three are the Tesseract, which contains the Space Stone, the Aether, which contains the Reality Stone, and the Mind Stone on Vision's head.”

“For safety, we did not keep these three gems in one place. The Space Stone was given to Wakanda, the Aether was placed in Thor's home, Asgard, and the Mind Stone was given to Vision to keep himself.”

Yang Le nodded secretly. Although the location of storage was only different from the original in one place, it was obvious that this time the Avengers had put some thought into it.

The locations where these three gems were stored represented three forces: Wakanda, Asgard, and the Avengers. Storing the three gems separately not only increased the safety factor, but also twisted the three forces into one rope when they knew of each other's existence.

No matter which place was attacked, the other two places would receive the news and be prepared in advance. Thor couldn't possibly not tell his father about the gem. This time, with Odin's joining, Yang Le couldn't imagine why Steve and the others could still fight into a headwind.

Fortunately, Steve quickly provided an answer.

“We were full of confidence at first, thinking that we would definitely protect the gems, but soon reality gave us a resounding slap in the face.”

Steve raised his head and said in a trembling voice, “Thanos came, and he destroyed everything.”

“How could this be?” Yang Le couldn't help but interrupt Steve. “Even if Thanos is strong, he can't defeat the alliance formed by the three forces so quickly, right?”

“Because Thanos and Hydra joined forces.” A tired but charming female voice sounded. Yang Le and Steve looked up at the same time and saw Natasha walking out of another bedroom.

“Thank you, Pu Ba.” Natasha smoothed her hair. “I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. My skin has been getting worse and worse in the past two years.”

“No, you are still as beautiful and charming as before.” Yang Le complimented. After all, it was a face that made people want to drink bathwater, plus the preservation of American comic technology, and time had not left a trace on Natasha's face.

“Thank you.” Natasha smiled charmingly. “But let's get back to the topic.”

Putting away her smile, Natasha took over Steve's task with a serious face and began to narrate: “Loki didn't know what method he used to escape from the dungeon of Asgard. According to Thor's speculation, he should have escaped when the Dark Elves rose.”

“Because at that time, not only Asgard, but even the forces on Earth were focusing on this battle. After all, you had previously brought information that the Aether was very likely the Reality Stone. At that time, everyone's eyes were on the Dark Elves, and the watch over Loki was weakened.”

It sounded like Malekith was more miserable than in the original book, Yang Le slandered in his heart.

“The three forces joined forces, and we quickly took down the Dark Elves and also won the Aether, but when it was over, we also found that Loki was gone.”

“Later, we speculated that Loki found Thanos. Although we don't know what happened between the two of them, presumably he was the one who connected Thanos and Hydra.”

Natasha said fiercely, and judging from her expression, she should be regretting not shooting Loki to death.

“After that, Thanos learned a lot of inside information from Hydra, including everything between us.” Steve pointed at Yang Le and himself with his fingers respectively.

“We are like the Maginot Line in front of Thanos who knows all the inside information.”

Joke Analysis: A Second World War veteran tells a Second World War joke himself. Yang Le's face remained unchanged, but he was actually about to collapse.

“Thanos knew all the locations where the gems were stored, and also found a way to defeat us one by one.”

The voice came from behind. Clint, who had been lying down for a long time, finally woke up at this time. He slowly straightened up and said slowly.

“First S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, it turned out that more than half of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were disguised as Hydra. S.H.I.E.L.D. had long been infiltrated into a sieve. They used tricks to make the Avengers turn against each other and no longer trust each other.”

Yang Le's eyes flickered. This should be referring to the Civil War. It was indeed not easy to evaluate. After all, the hatred of killing parents was indeed enough to become a fuse.

“Then there was Wakanda. Hydra contacted the Wakanda residents who were wandering abroad and launched a challenge to T'Challa, who had just become the King of Wakanda. This was a national disaster, and Wakanda was unable to mediate the Avengers' civil war.”

This is Killmonger.

“Finally, there was Asgard. Thanos attacked Asgard head-on, fought with Odin, his men held back Thor, and sent his men to sneak into Asgard to awaken Surtur and Hela.”

“One was Thor's sister, but was sealed by Odin because of some things, and the other was a giant who wanted to destroy Asgard. As soon as these two woke up, they indiscriminately killed everyone. Even Thor and Odin couldn't withstand such an encirclement.”

“Even the great god Odin died in that battle.”
