Chapter 787
Thanos sat on his throne, looking at the Pym Particle that Nebula handed over. He was excited to see such an advanced mechanism. He was eager to copy the Pym Particle and armed his entire army with this technology.
“Did I do well, father?” Nebula asked on her knee as she waited for Thanos to praise her.
“Complete your task! Show me your loyalty!” Thanos said coldly.
“Yes, of course, father!” Nebula said as she left. Thanos himself looked at Nebula’s figure as she left with a cold and calculating look. Although Nebula has done a good job right now, she still would betray him in the future, and Thanos couldn’t let that happen!
……………….
Inside the Avenger’s base on Earth, 1 minute has passed, and the Quantum Tunnel suddenly opened. Shuri, Natasha, and Barton, who were forced to stay, just stared straight into the tunnel to see who had returned.
The figure of those who had disappeared before reappeared again on the platform. “Did you get all the Infinity Stones?” Tony asked as he couldn’t wait to see their success. But as he looked around, he was surprised that he didn’t see Natasha and Barton, but instead a strange woman beside Dio.
“Wait, who is this person? Where are Natasha and Clint?” Tony asked confusedly.
“We are here!” Natasha said hopelessly, drawing the attention of the entire group. Barton and Shuri just remained silent as they didn’t know what to say about this whole farce that happened in such a short time.
“What the hell happened? Did they come back sooner? But that is impossible, the time is already set in sync with everyone else!” Tony looked around, slightly confused by the whole ordeal.
“Maybe, the one beside you can give a better explanation for everyone,” Natasha said as she looked directly at Dio.
“I will explain the situation, but for now, let’s confirm our task!” Dio said casually. But he was right, as the retrieval of the Infinity Stones came first, and everyone else also shared the same opinion!
“Mind and Space Stone are successfully retrieved!” Tony said as he reported his success.
“Time Stone is here!” Banner, who was still on his Hulk’s form said as he took out the Time Stone.
“The plan went smoothly, and the whole process is extremely easy!” Rhodey said as he lifted the Orb with Power Stone inside. He didn’t notice the strange expression on Nebula’s face at all. She was completely confused by where she was and was alerted by the enemies around her.
Rocket then took out the syringe ampule from his bag and put down the Aether on the table.
“It looks like all of us have done our part!” Dio smiled as he lifted the Soul Stone on his hand. After seeing the Soul Stone, everyone was surprised, especially Scott, who came up with the idea to collect the Infinity Stones. Their plan was extremely far-fetched, but it turned out successful in the end.
Although the process was rough and far from perfect, all that mattered was the result.
The woman beside Dio looked at the Soul Stone with a sad expression, but she brushed off her sadness quickly as she didn’t want to rain on everyone’s parade. She was already well informed of the plan, and she fully understood why the Avengers were happy about it.
Maybe if she waited for the people to be resurrected, she would finally be happy, too, considering her son and parent would be among those people!
“That hammer looks familiar!” Tony said as he noticed Mjolnir on Thor’s hand.
“Yes, I still couldn’t let this one go, so I borrowed it!” Thor said casually.
“Damn! Well, we would have to return it along with all the Infinity Stones in the end.” Tony said as he nodded his head understandingly.
Thor nodded indifferently as he originally just wanted to see if he was still worthy of wielding the Mjolnir, but since his past self just annoyed him to no end, he just took the Mjolnir with him. He actually didn’t want to return this hammer, but he knew that his past self would be devastated without the hammer by his side.
The six Infinity Stones were stored safely, but everyone didn’t take any rest just yet! After changing their clothes and checking their condition, they gathered again in the conference room. After all, it was not enough to only have the Infinity Stones alone. They also need a tool to exert the Stones’ power, the Infinity Gloves!
But as they didn’t have the Infinity Gloves and the Dwarves that created it in the first place were already annihilated by Thanos, they had to think of another way. They had to think of Technology Oriented Infinity Gloves to utilise the Infinity Stones’ power!
It was Tony, Banner, and Shuri’s realm of expertise. If these three people couldn’t figure out how to create such technology, then no one would be able to do it too! The materials that they use might be different than the original Infinity Glove, but the technology had to be perfect!
After all, they could create Vision in the past!
But before that, everyone was eager to hear Dio’s explanation regarding his unauthorized change of plan and attack on Natasha and Barton! But regardless of everyone’s opinion, Dio didn’t bother to justify himself! He just explained the whole situation, listed the cause and effect of his plan, and then let the woman explain herself to the rest of the team.
Everyone just sighed as they heard that it was the woman’s decision without anyone forcing her to sacrifice her own husband, and of course, after her husband agreed to it too!
But even though they knew that the person who sacrificed his life for them didn’t have that much time left to live, and Dio didn’t force them to take that route, many of the Avengers still showed concern and frowned at Dio.
But no one could complain as it would undermine the woman’s sacrifice! That also included Natasha and Barton, who were replaced. Anyone could condemn Dio from a Morality point of view, but they wouldn’t do so!
