The vast universe
The Sanctuary II spacecraft was slowly moving forward
On the throne inside the ship
Sat a burly titan with purple skin and vertical stripes on his chin
It was Thanos, a banished member of the Eternal race
Below the throne stood his daughters
Gamora, with green skin
Nebula, half-human, half-machine
And his loyal dog: Ebony Maw
In front of everyone
A giant screen was playing an image
In the picture, a blue star human, wearing a black suit with a large S logo on his chest, floated in front of the Chitauri mothership
His eyes were orange-red and bright
Almost tangible beams shot from his eyes
Destroying all the Leviathan behemoths in their path
The Chitauri mothership couldn't withstand the beam for even a second before turning into powder and vanishing without a trace
This scene played on loop
Thanos, with a somber face, watched it back and forth
"My great master!"
Ebony Maw placed a hand on his left chest and bowed respectfully
"It was this human who caused the plan to fail"
"He coveted the Mind Stone!"
"He will pay with his life to quell your anger, my master!"
As a loyal servant of Thanos, he diligently fawned over him
"Father!"
Nebula turned around and knelt on one knee, lowering her head, and said respectfully
"Please, let me go to Earth, rip off his head, and bring back the Mind Stone as an offering to you!"
She was eager to prove herself to Thanos
To prove she was his most capable daughter, and that she was stronger than Gamora!
Thanos looked at Nebula and Ebony Maw expressionlessly, falling silent for a long time
"My daughter, for you, I have other arrangements..."
"The Mind Stone... let it stay on Earth for now"
"When the time comes, I will go and retrieve it myself!"
As his words fell, Thanos stopped paying attention to them
He turned his gaze back to the screen
It seemed that a powerful existence had appeared on the Blue Star
The Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One! And Odin, the King of the Gods!
These were the main reasons he hadn't personally traveled to the Nine Realms
These two ancient beings were not easy to deal with...
He had foreseen Loki's failure long ago
That adopted son of Odin only knew how to play some ridiculous little tricks
The Chitauri invasion was merely a test for him
Thanos had never harbored any hope for their childish plans
Thanos had his own plan, and based on its current progress, apart from the appearance of that powerful human, there hadn't been too many variables
He decided to obtain the other stones first
As for the Blue Star, he would visit it personally when the time was right...
On the Blue Star, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the US government were handling the aftermath
Major news stations reported on the ruined sites
Discussions about the Avengers and Superman were reaching a fever pitch
The arrival of aliens felt like a dream to countless citizens
Authoritative media criticized the destruction caused by the Avengers
Yet, citizens were profusely thanking the Avengers
Two completely different voices echoed across the globe
Meanwhile, the Avengers, the main characters of the news,
Including Lin Feng, were resting in Stark Tower
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Thor stood before Lin Feng, his face dusty
"Black-haired kid, I'll say it again!"
He gripped Mjolnir, his face grim
"The Space Stone belongs to Asgard! You have no right to claim it!"
"I'll say it again, hand it over!"
Lin Feng leaned back lazily on the sofa, giving Thor a dismissive glance
Three stones lay quietly on his wrist guard
The yellow Mind Stone, the blue Space Stone, and a red special Kryptonite
After extracting the Cosmic Cube, he had crushed it, retrieved the Space Stone, and embedded it in his wrist guard
Like the Mind Stone, the energy of the Space Stone was slowly strengthening Lin Feng's abilities
How could Lin Feng possibly hand it over to Thor?
The meat was already in his mouth, and they wanted to snatch it away?
"You say it belongs to Asgard, do you have proof?"
"You!"
Thor's veins bulged in his hand gripping Mjolnir
He wanted to teach this scoundrel of a black-haired kid a lesson
This was the second time he had asked Lin Feng for the Space Stone
The first time, Lin Feng had kicked him out of the tower
His kicking speed was so fast that Thor couldn't even track it
Though he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't beat Lin Feng...
Lin Feng didn't care what Odin's dim-witted eldest son thought
If he wasn't sensible, Lin Feng wouldn't mind kicking him again
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Seeing the tension between the two escalating, Iron Man Tony stepped in to protect his Stark Tower
He squeezed between them, extending his hands to separate them
"Calm down, both of you!"
"Haven't you had enough after that fight? Aren't you tired?"
"How about this, I'll say a fair word!"
Tony spoke to himself, then pointed at Thor
"Lin Feng is stronger than you, I don't think anyone can doubt that!"
The first sentence made Thor's gaze turn cold
He felt that this tin can wasn't up to anything good
"Oh, man, don't look at me like that!"
Tony was not afraid at all, and he looked around
"Am I not stating a fact?"
Captain America, Natasha, Hawkeye, and even the Hulk subconsciously nodded
Lin Feng could fly out into space and blow up the Chitauri mothership
What Thor did on the Blue Star was only kill a few Chitauri and get stabbed by his own brother
There was no doubt about who was stronger
Tony was very satisfied with their reactions
He turned and spread his hands at Thor
"See, everyone thinks so!"
"Let's review this disaster!"
"It was brought by your Asgard's second prince, your brother!"
"Countless people died because of your brother, and even the coordinates of the Blue Star might have been exposed, right?"
"He's an adopted son!" Thor retorted weakly, his face flushed
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them and subconsciously glanced aside
Loki, wearing handcuffs, stood there, giving him a look of disdain
"Alright, alright, but he is indeed your brother, you can't deny that!"
Thor nodded grimly
Tony continued, "This disaster was caused by your brother!"
"And it was Lin Feng who quelled this disaster!"
"No one here denies that, right?"
Everyone nodded again subconsciously
Tony clapped his hands
"Then isn't it obvious?"
"As the protagonist who ended this disaster, Lin Feng"
"He has the right to deal with this gem, doesn't he?"
How good was Iron Man Tony's eloquence?
In terms of talking, who among them could match him?
Moreover, Tony was speaking the truth!
On one side was an unfamiliar Asgardian, the perpetrator of this disaster
On the other side was his friend and savior, Lin Feng
Who to help and who not to help, Tony knew very well
After his speech, everyone found it very reasonable
Only Thor's face was red from beginning to end
"But, the Space Stone has always belonged to Asgard..."
Thor's voice grew smaller and smaller, and his argument became weaker
Lin Feng became somewhat impatient with Thor's stubborn defense
He stood up, releasing his full aura
"Then I'll tell you, it doesn't belong to Asgard anymore!"
"Since it appeared on Earth, it means you failed to protect it!"
"If I give it to you, will you lose it again?"
After speaking, Lin Feng let out a cold laugh and added, "Besides, the Infinity Stones have no owner to begin with"
"You've only kept it for a while! You say it belongs to Asgard?"
"Aren't you ashamed?!"
Lin Feng and Tony's combined onslaught left Thor completely stunned, unable to utter a word
The room fell silent for a moment
Seeing that Thor had nothing more to say
Loki, standing nearby, chimed in with a mocking glint in his eyes
"Poor son of Odin! Not only can you not beat a Blue Star human, but you don't even understand logic"
"If this gets out, how many Asgardians will laugh their heads off!"
"Shut up!" Thor, enraged, grabbed a silencer and put it on Loki's mouth...
