"First of all, regardless of the plan, we must be clear about one premise,"
Black Panther T'Challa slowly began, addressing everyone, "We must do our utmost to prevent this war from taking place on Earth."
This point goes without saying.
Since everyone has decided to take the initiative and seize control of the war, it would be a huge failure if Earth were to become a battlefield.
Earth cannot afford the ravages of war against a hegemon like Thanos.
"Regarding this, we can use the Infinity Stones as bait to lure Thanos to a specific planet, and then attack him there,"
Scott Lang immediately stated matter-of-factly.
"Perhaps we don't even need to lure him; Thanos might go to Nidwell to forge the Infinity Gauntlet first," Thor added casually.
"That's right, we can't let our guard down on Nidwell; we need to make the necessary preparations beforehand," Captain America nodded, speaking in a deep voice to Thor and the others.
However, if Thanos really intends to forge the Infinity Gauntlet first, it would actually be a good thing for everyone.
Nidavellir only has three hundred dwarves, that's all.
With such a small number, Thanos can't possibly send many.
Dealing with him would be much simpler.
However, the Power Stone is the first gem Thanos has obtained, and whether he intends to seize it first or forge the Infinity Gauntlet is unknown. They
can only take precautions on multiple fronts.
"Of course, we need to make arrangements regarding Nidavellir, but besides that, we need to make other arrangements,"
Nick Fury, the legendary bald-faced hero, joined the discussion.
He looked at Star-Lord and Thor, "Thor, Star-Lord, space is your domain, so, just like last time, choose suitable planets and spread the message across interstellar space. This is your responsibility."
"No problem, I know there are many planets in the universe where villains gather. Leave this to me," Star-Lord said without hesitation, thumping his chest to guarantee it.
"Let's not rush this," Black Widow interrupted Star-Lord in a deep voice. "Before that, we need to prepare to deal with Thanos. Yes, we plan to use the Infinity Stones to fight Thanos, but how?"
The Infinity Stones aren't like Tony Stark's Iron Man armor, which everyone can use easily. They're the most powerful things in the universe.
The barrier to entry is extremely high.
Right now, only Vision can use the Mind Stone; even if the Infinity Stones were in their hands, no one else could use them.
"Give me some time, and I will definitely create armor that can use the Infinity Stones," Tony Stark said confidently.
He had created a gauntlet that could hold six Infinity Stones in the future, so this shouldn't be a difficult task for him.
Besides, Ultron was also a robot, and he used the Infinity Stones very effectively.
Moreover, Ultron was also created by Tony Stark!
No one doubted Tony Stark's abilities.
"Stark, only you can accomplish this," Nick Fury agreed. No one else present possessed the ability besides Tony Stark.
"No, Nick Fury," Thor chimed in, trying to make his presence felt. "I can go to Nidavellir and have Etri forge me an Infinity Gauntlet!"
The eyes of everyone present lit up; it was indeed a feasible solution.
This gave them another option.
At this point in the meeting, the basic strategy for dealing with Thanos had been finalized.
First, either Tony Stark or Thor would forge the armor or the gauntlet, granting everyone the power to wield the Infinity Stones.
Based on this, they would then use the information about the Infinity Stones to lure Thanos out and confront him.
Of course, this operation was extremely complex and grand, not something that could be decided in a simple meeting.
Moreover, until everyone truly mastered the power of the Infinity Stones, everything was still just talk.
"So...Stark, your focus now is on developing armor that can utilize the Infinity Stones."
"Thor, go to Nidwell to make arrangements, to prevent Thanos from forging the gauntlet there first."
"Besides that, you also need to make corresponding preparations. If things don't go smoothly here at Stark, you'll need to forge the Infinity Gauntlet there."
"Star-Lord, you work with Thor, keeping an eye on Thanos's movements and gathering relevant intelligence to prepare for creating the illusion of the Infinity Stones."
"Does anyone have anything to add?"
"Very well, meeting adjourned!"
In the following months, Tony Stark was once again incredibly busy.
Because of the need to research the corresponding "Infinity Stone armor," the research on the Hextech Gate had to be temporarily shelved, which was quite a headache for Tony Stark.
Right now, his greatest interest was actually the Hextech Gate, not the armor.
However, due to the constraints of reality, he could only helplessly abandon his favorite for the time being.
Even more frustrating was that the development of the Infinity Stone armor hadn't made much progress. The power of the stones was simply too overwhelming; Tony Stark had experimented with many materials, but none were quite ideal.
Even adamantium, the hardest metal in the universe, while greatly increasing its resistance, is still far from ideal for practical use.
That metal is only high in hardness, nothing more.
Hardness isn't the only indicator of the Infinity Stone armor.
Tony Stark urgently needs a completely new material.
"Sir, Mr. Thor is here."
Jarvis suddenly reminded him, caught in the middle of his work.
"I know,"
Tony Stark replied casually, his research continuing as if he wasn't even concerned about the matter.
"How's it going?"
A moment later, Thor strode in, not bothering with pleasantries, and went straight to the point.
"Why are you here?"
Tony Stark didn't answer, but instead asked without turning his head.
"I went to Nick Fury's and exchanged information with the captain and the others. I didn't see you. They said you were still working on the armor, so I came to check on you."
Thor casually sat down on the sofa behind Tony Stark.
"By the way, Thor,"
Tony Stark suddenly said, his eyes lighting up as if he'd just remembered something, his gaze fixed intently on Thor, "Could you get me some of the metals from Nidweal?"
Earth's materials were no longer sufficient for Tony Stark's needs, forcing him to look beyond Earth.
"Stark, even if I gave you those metals, Earth's technology wouldn't allow them to be used," Thor chuckled.
The forging of Nidweal used a dying neutron star as its energy source!
Was this some kind of joke?
"Besides, those guys in Etri valued those metals more than their own lives; even I couldn't get them," Thor shook his head.
Tony Stark had only asked casually and didn't press the issue.
Just as he was about to say something more to Thor, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
He and Thor found themselves once again in the familiar pure white space: the Quiz Space.
Glancing around, he saw familiar faces among the participants: Captain America Steve Rogers, Ant-Man Scott Lang, Spider-Man Peter Parker.
And then there was Strange, dressed in his sorcerer's costume!
Strange had become Doctor Strange after all.
"Mr. Stark, hello everyone, we meet again!" Peter Parker waved excitedly, greeting everyone.
The others nodded in response.
"So, Strange, you've finally become Doctor Strange?" Scott Lang couldn't help but laugh as he said to Doctor Strange, "I knew you would!"
"Cool! Doctor Strange is way cooler than a doctor," Peter Parker said, looking up at Strange with great interest.
"I'm starting to regret it,"
Strange said with a wry smile. "Being a sorcerer is so meaningless. The sense of accomplishment, the thrill, the joy… I can't experience that anymore." He was
forced into becoming Doctor Strange before, so he wasn't picky.
But now he could choose to continue being a doctor, so his mindset was different, and he naturally compared his two choices.
It just goes to show that switching jobs so suddenly takes time to adjust.
"You should still have time to quit Kamar-Taj, right?" Tony Stark couldn't help but tease.
"I won't quit. Having chosen this path, I won't regret it," Strange replied.
"Fine! Perfect!" Tony Stark nodded. "Once you've transformed from a magical failure into a magical genius, you can serve as my magical advisor for researching Hextech Gates."
Tony Stark had already made arrangements for Doctor Strange.
[Question: After learning that the Infinity Stones were destroyed by Thanos, Thor became despondent, spending his days drinking and sinking into a 300-pound obese man. Which of the following characters helped Thor overcome his despair?]
[A. Iron Man Tony Stark]
[B. Captain America Steve Rogers]
[C. Hulk Dr. Banner]
[D. Black Widow Natasha Romanoff]
[Friendly Reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive the reward skill "Storm Image";
those who answer incorrectly will have one attribute randomly deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, possessions, etc.]
After a brief exchange, the system notification interrupted everyone.
A new question appeared on the big screen.
As soon as this question appeared, everyone's curious gazes fell on Thor.
"Wow! A 300-pound man! Oh, Thor, I really can't imagine what that would look like!" Tony Stark's face lit up with anticipation. "I can't wait to see that!"
"It's a pity that cell phones can't be used in the quiz space, otherwise I would definitely have filmed it," Scott Lang said regretfully. "
Mr. Thor, who weighs 300 pounds? My God, I really can't imagine it!"
Peter Parker's eyes widened in shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Full of curiosity, he asked Thor, "Mr. Thor, do gods get fat? I always thought gods were perfect and wouldn't get fat."
"Of course not!"
Thor quickly denied, shaking his head vigorously. "You're mistaken, this question must be wrong! How could I become fat? That's absurd! Absolutely impossible!"
"Thor, stop making excuses. Remember the question Banner asked when he snapped his fingers? You were already fat back then, but I never imagined you'd weigh 300 pounds! That's ridiculous."
Strange mercilessly exposed Thor's lies.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't! I was just wearing too many clothes!"
How could Thor admit to something so shameful? He remained stubborn, denying it repeatedly.
"Alright everyone, let's get back to the question."
Captain America's voice rang out, bringing everyone back to the main topic.
Thor immediately couldn't help but give Captain America a grateful look.
But to his surprise, Captain America casually added, "We can discuss Thor's weight gain of 300 pounds later when we share intelligence."
Thor: "..."
"Rogers, I thought you'd be different,"
Thor called out to Captain America with a resentful look, implying, "When we share intelligence, there's no need to mention some unimportant details, right?"
To prevent everyone from continuing to dredge him up about his "weight gain of 300 pounds," Thor immediately urged, "Weren't we supposed to analyze the question? Rogers, what are your thoughts?"
Hearing Thor's question, Captain America straightened his expression and began his analysis.
"The background of this question is that Thanos killed Thor's brother and then slaughtered half of Asgard's population. Although Thor killed Thanos, he discovered the Infinity Stones were destroyed, and he couldn't resurrect his dead brother and people, so he fell into despair." "
Since the person in the option can help Thor overcome his trauma, doesn't that mean that person might be able to help Thor resolve his inner conflict?"
"For example, did that person give Thor hope? Hope that could change everything Thanos has done?"
"That possibility can't be ruled out," Tony Stark immediately interjected, "but it's only one possibility."
