Chapter 253 The Great Battle is About to Begin!
"You two still have such a good relationship."
Tony and Thor turned around at the same time and found Chu Yang standing to the side, smiling at them.
"Who is closer to him?"
"I've never seen such an annoying person, even more annoying than Loki!"
Thor couldn't help but complain.
"Can't you just take the elevator normally?"
"They have to come in from someone else's balcony!"
Tony also complained, but after he finished, he still went up and hugged Chu Yang.
"Long time no see, welcome back."
Thor asked curiously, "Where have you been all these years? Why couldn't even Heimdall find you?"
Chu Yang explained with a smile, "I took an interstellar trip; I'm not on Earth."
Tony asked in surprise, "How did you manage interstellar travel? Did you build a spaceship?"
Chu Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I used magic!"
Thor glanced smugly at Tony. "I know what kind of magic Yang used, it's called Flying Thunder!"
Chu Yang corrected him impatiently, "It's Flying Thunder God!"
"I know, I know, big guy, don't make a fuss!" Tony looked at Thor with disdain. "Doesn't that spell require specific coordinates to use?"
"What coordinates?" Thor replied blankly.
What an idiot!
Tony suddenly felt that having an equal conversation with this muscular man was an insult to his intelligence.
"It's not Flying Thunder God Technique, but a new technique that can help me pinpoint the coordinates of a galaxy." Chu Yang briefly explained the Space Stone's abilities.
Tony's eyes lit up suddenly. "Oh, this is really good. Could you explain the principle to me in detail so we can try to implement it with a machine?"
"Let's talk about it another time. We have more important things to do right now, don't we?" Chu Yang reminded the two of them.
"That's right, there's a big guy at our doorstep." Tony's expression turned serious. "We need to take care of him first."
"You guys probably haven't seen the Avengers' base, have you?"
……
Wakanda.
The Avengers chose this location as their base because Tony Stark and Black Panther reached an agreement, exchanging their respective technologies.
S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to gain entry into the country.
According to Black Panther, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers each operate independently, and he only agreed because of Tony Stark.
Therefore, Director Fury could only participate in the Avengers' meetings via video link.
"Based on Tony's previous suggestion, countries around the world now have a large number of war robots. If it is confirmed that it is an enemy invasion, we must mobilize them as soon as possible."
The ghostly figure of Chief Fury paced back and forth in front of everyone.
"I've said it many times, Thanos isn't here for a vacation. There's nothing to be sure about. Do you really want to sit down and have a chat with him?"
Thor simply couldn't understand Chief Fury's indecisiveness.
"I know what you're thinking, but Earth isn't Asgard. We can't just throw out an interstellar war anytime soon, even with the Avengers, our chances of winning aren't high!"
Chief Fury leaned down and slammed his fist on the table on the other side of the camera. "We can't afford to gamble, so we need to be careful!"
Thor rose and walked toward Fury's phantom image, saying in a deep voice, "Earth is not fighting alone in this war. Asgard will also be involved. Thanos is after the Infinity Stones, and Asgard has them too. We cannot escape this fate."
"Father's idea is that instead of passively defending, we should join forces with you to take the initiative!"
A look of surprise flashed across everyone's faces.
Captain America Rogers excitedly stood up, walked over and patted Thor on the shoulder, "On behalf of Earth, I thank you, and thank every warrior of Asgard."
"You're welcome." Thor turned to look at Chu Yang and smiled, "I should be thanking Yang. My father is old and in poor health. It was Yang who treated his body, allowing him to live a little longer."
"If it weren't for this, Asgard would have long since descended into chaos. We must repay this favor."
Rogers laughed, "Our magician isn't bad."
Chu Yang smiled and nodded in response, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Asgard's decision to join the war is a good thing, but can anyone tell me which planet this cloaked guy is from?"
Tony pointed at Doctor Strange, completely bewildered.
"Excuse me, I am 100% Earth. Two years ago, I was a surgeon. My name is Strange, and I am not an alien."
Doctor Strange reluctantly explained the existence of sorcerers to everyone, claiming to be the guardians of Earth, helping the planet resist the invasion of the dark matter world.
This claim was even more astonishing than the fact that he was an alien, and Tony couldn't help but applaud after hearing it.
"I didn't know our world was so wonderful before, but since even gods exist, it's not surprising that there are a few mages."
"Oh, excuse me, what did you say you were a mage or something?"
Tony turned to the side, placed his palm against his ear, and made a listening gesture.
Doctor Strange took a deep breath. "Sorcerer Supreme."
"Sorcerer Supreme! Oh! That's a great title, it sounds a bit like the taco shop downstairs from my house." Tony asked, "Sorcerer Supreme, do you like tacos?"
Doctor Strange narrowed his eyes, his tone stern, "Are you kidding me, Mr. Robot?"
"My name is Tony! Tony Stark!" Tony's attitude was also unfriendly, and he said coldly, "That guy named Thanos came for you, and the entire Earth is paying the price for you."
"I just want to know if destroying the Infinity Stones would make Thanos leave this place!"
Doctor Strange simply shook his head and said, "I swear to protect the Eye of Agamotto and will never destroy it."
"Perfect answer!" Tony exclaimed, clapping his hands in approval.
"Don't do that," Thor stepped forward to stop Tony, explaining, "Even if we destroy the Infinity Stones, Thanos will still slaughter half of the planet's life. That's what he's always done, no matter where he goes!"
Tony was stunned.
Rogers slammed his hand on the table, trying to get everyone's attention, and then said, "Thor's words show one thing: this is an inescapable war, and right now, we must unite."
Tony and Doctor Strange stopped arguing. Both were very intelligent and rational people and wouldn't do anything meaningless.
"Now that you've resolved your internal conflicts, shouldn't you discuss how to deal with the enemy?"
Chief Fury's projection continued, "Our time is running out!"
Black Panther, as the master, stepped forward and said, "As king, I should not have brought war into my country, but this time is different. This is a war between the entire Earth and outsiders, and Wakanda has an inescapable responsibility."
"We'll meet the enemy right here!"
...............................
Beyond Earth, a massive warship is slowly approaching, surrounded by a dense array of escort ships, like stars surrounding the moon.
Thanos now possesses two Infinity Stones: the Power Stone, obtained from destroying Xandar, and the Soul Stone, acquired after sacrificing his adopted daughter Gamora.
He should have been happy to receive two gems, but he just couldn't feel happy at all.
Three Infinity Stones had lost contact and could not be sensed no matter what, which made Thanos feel uneasy.
The three Infinity Stones disappeared on Earth, so he immediately led his army on a long-distance interstellar expedition.
This was a dangerous decision, but Thanos didn't care.
Only by collecting all six Infinity Stones can he fulfill his long-held ideal, or rather, his obsession.
Thanos, sitting on his throne, would occasionally stare absently at the Infinity Gauntlet; more precisely, he was staring at the Soul Stone.
"Great Thanos, we are very close to Earth. Shall we initiate a warp drive to send our army directly to Earth?"
Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, saw Thanos lost in thought and whispered a reminder in his ear.
Thanos stood up, his figure looming in the darkness, exuding an immense sense of oppression.
"What about the monkeys?"
"You mean Guardians of the Galaxy?"
"That's right, didn't Nebula go after them? Why haven't we heard anything from them yet?"
"My lord, I believe Nebula will complete the mission."
"snort!"
Thanos slowly walked to a huge screen, looked at the lush and beautiful Earth on the screen, and said indifferently, "A very beautiful planet. My home planet Titan was once just as beautiful, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the end."
Ebony Maw said with his head bowed, "Everything you've done is for the universe; someone will always remember your contributions."
"Merit?" Thanos chuckled self-deprecatingly and said coldly, "You don't need to flatter me on this kind of thing. I know what I'm doing. Slaughter and extermination have absolutely nothing to do with merit."
Ebony Throat was sweating profusely after hearing this; his attempt to flatter had backfired.
"Get the soldiers ready..."
"War is about to begin!"
Meanwhile, Wakanda was extremely busy.
Doctor Strange and his sorcerers are opening a portal to gather war robots from all over the world in Wakanda to compensate for the vast disparity in military strength between the two sides.
Because Hydra was not exposed and the Sokovia incident in Avengers 2 did not occur, the Avengers still had a high level of trust in S.H.I.E.L.D.
With Chu Yang's encouragement, Tony produced a large number of war robots, which were handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. to combat special criminals around the world.
Over the years, the number of war robots has become quite considerable, which is the source of Earth's confidence in fighting off aliens, aside from the Avengers.
The Rainbow Bridge never stopped, its magnificent beams of light piercing the heavens and earth, from which emerged one Asgardian soldier after another.
Until... Loki appeared, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Tony had already donned the Iron Man suit and was pointing the laser cannon in his palm at Loki, clearly intending to blast him through at the slightest provocation.
The others were similar, each holding a weapon and watching Loki warily.
"Wow, I'm reinforcements, are you sure you want to treat me like this?" Loki raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Gentlemen, I know he's done some bad things, but the situation is urgent. Can we give Loki a chance?"
Queen Frigga slowly walked out of the Rainbow Bridge and smiled gently at everyone.
"This is my mom," Thor whispered a reminder from the side.
As if waking from a dream, everyone put away their weapons in the face of the friendly Frigga.
"Hello, madam, my name is Tony Stark, and I am the president of Stark Industries. I must say, you look very young, like Thor's older sister."
Tony, who always knew how to please women, immediately started spouting rainbow farts, making Frigga laugh even harder.
"Thank you, young gentleman." Frigga turned to Thor and said, "I like your friend very much, Thor."
"No, no, you shouldn't talk to this guy too much." Thor immediately shook his head and said, "He's a playboy, he says the same things to all women."
"Thor, how can a well-mannered prince speak ill of his friend?" Frigga frowned and scolded, then smiled at Tony, "I hope you don't mind."
"Of course, beautiful lady." Tony winked mischievously. "He's still a child, I forgive him."
When Frigga heard Tony say that Thor was a child, she was overjoyed and laughed uncontrollably.
"FUCK, I'm 1500 years old!" Thor said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Thor get his comeuppance, Loki was also very pleased, and even Iron Man started to look more pleasing to the eye.
However, when he saw the Hulk and Black Widow approaching from a distance, his smile vanished, as if he were reminded of unpleasant memories.
Odin did not come because his body was no longer strong enough to support him in a war. Even if he came, he would not be of any use and might even destroy the earth.
Therefore, Thor was the leader of the Asgardian soldiers, and he was responsible for commanding the battle.
The problem is coming.
Thor was an absolute brute. Although he had learned some political wisdom under Chu Yang's influence, he still preferred to lead from the front rather than sit and command on the battlefield.
Given the current situation, someone needs to take Thor's place in commanding the battle, so the goddess Frigga has arrived.
She was both the first spellcaster of Asgard and the wife of Odin, the king of the gods, having accompanied him through countless wars; she was more than capable of being a commander.
As the Asgardian soldiers finished assembling, the pre-battle mobilization was nearing its end. Some remained silent, some prayed, and some joked around carefree.
Faced with war, everyone displayed different emotions, which Chu Yang observed in detail.
Frigga found the quiet Chu Yang in the crowd, and she couldn't help but show concern for him after he had disappeared for several years.
"Child, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Mrs. Frigga. I'm sorry to have worried you."
"I am both happy and sad to see you here. War should not involve young people like you."
"This is Earth, and I am an Earthling, so there's no reason for me to hide. But you, and Asgard, didn't really need to get involved in this war..."
Looking at the gentle Frigga, Chu Yang suddenly felt sad and ashamed, and said softly, "Actually, the Tesseract is no longer in Asgard, so you have no reason to fight."
Upon hearing this, Frigga showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm glad you're telling me the truth, but I already knew about this."
Chu Yang was taken aback and looked at her in surprise.
