Ultron has obtained the soul stone. Never mind how he got it; in this universe, it's a given that Ultron obtained the soul stone.
A single-stone Ultron is already extremely difficult to deal with, and a two-stone Ultron will likely be even harder.
The bad news is that Kevin's Reality Stone can no longer be used as before, due to a crack appearing on the uru ring.
But the good news is that Star-Lord has gained some Celestial power, and Thor will also come to help. The Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers together should be able to defeat Ultron.
"So now, should we just head straight out to fight that guy named Ultron?"
Star-Lord, who had been listening to Kevin and Thor's conversation, stepped forward and interjected.
Thor looked Star-Lord up and down, then turned to the others in the spaceship. After looking at Groot for a while, he turned back to Kevin and said, "Your team… is pretty good. With them joining, our chances of winning might be even higher."
"Thank you, buddy, but this isn't his team, it's my team! I'm the Captain!"
Star-Lord pointed to himself.
Rocket immediately jumped out and said, "How could you be the Captain? I'm the Captain! Who do you think is responsible for the ship's repairs and weapon manufacturing?!"
"Being able to repair ships and manufacture weapons doesn't necessarily make you Captain! The leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy has always been me! Officially certified by Xandar!"
"I wouldn't acknowledge an official that needed us to save them to deal with Ronan. Anyway, I'm the Captain of this team!"
Star-Lord and Rocket bickered as usual. Thor watched them, perhaps realizing he had said the wrong thing, and awkwardly changed the subject, saying to Kevin, "…They're quite interesting."
"Normal. Just like Iron Man and Captain America on your team often bicker. This is already a daily occurrence here."
Kevin smiled in response.
Watching Star-Lord and Rocket bicker, Kevin also felt his earlier tension ease considerably.
The Guardians of the Galaxy might not be the strongest in terms of combat power, but they are definitely the team with the best atmosphere.
At least here, no matter how desperate the situation, they can maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
Kevin likes the Guardians of the Galaxy and enjoys being here.
If he wasn't from this world, he probably would really adventure in the universe with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
As for what Yondu said, Kevin had long forgotten it.
What does it matter if he cares or not? Kevin felt that he cared, and that they were his friends, and that was enough. Who cares what others think?
"In short, we are ready."
Thor instantly became serious, put down the desktop ornament he was playing with, and earnestly said to Kevin, "Now we're just waiting for you, after all, you said you would deal with Ultron."
The members of the Avengers had also discussed whether or not to inform Kevin about this matter.
Some felt that Kevin was an alien and not very trustworthy, so it would be better for the Avengers to resolve this matter themselves, especially since it was their doing.
Earth's troubles should be solved by Earth.
But others believed that at a critical moment, an extra helper meant an extra ray of hope.
The Infinity Stones were of great importance, and Ultron was collecting them. Even if Kevin wasn't informed later, as the holder of the Reality Stone, he would definitely confront Ultron.
Instead of letting Kevin face Ultron unprepared and have the Reality Stone snatched away, it would be better to ask him for help now and use the power of the Reality Stone to deal with Ultron.
Some even suggested bringing the cosmic cube over and finding a suitable person to use it, which might even increase their chances of winning.
But this suggestion was ultimately rejected by Thor, as no one knew how to use the cosmic cube at the moment.
Handing it directly to Ultron could easily turn into a delivery service.
Therefore, after this discussion, the Avengers chose to have Thor seek out Kevin.
This was a crisis for the entire universe, so of course, all available forces should be gathered.
"Besides you all, are there others?"
After learning about the Avengers' considerations, Kevin continued to ask.
Thor thought for a moment:
"A prince from Wakanda said he would help us, and those twin siblings modified by the mind stone will also help. Oh, and Nick also contacted another alien named Carol, she's a woman, and very powerful."
"!?"
When Thor said the last part, Kevin's eyes instantly widened.
Goodness, this was truly an all-star lineup.
Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver… Even Captain Marvel herself had arrived on the scene.
So what was there to hesitate about? With Captain Marvel here, wasn't this battle already won?
"Since Captain Marvel is here, what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"
Knowing that the core figure who could carry the entire battle had arrived, Kevin immediately jumped up from his seat, eager to join the fray and beat up Ultron.
Thor looked at him in surprise:
"You know this Carol? Why do you get so excited just hearing she's coming?"
"I know her, she doesn't know me, and whether I know her or not isn't important. What's important is that with her here, dealing with Ultron should be no problem."
Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, is a first-class formidable character in any universe.
Putting aside the awful Captain Marvel 2, in other films, Carol is like a stabilizing force.
In Avengers, she can suppress Thanos. In what if, she can briefly suppress six-stone Ultron. She fights Thor from sky to ground, battling across an entire planet without a clear winner.
It can be said that at this stage, Carol is the most powerful expert besides Odin and Ancient One.
With such a expert to carry the team, why would Kevin hesitate?
As for Thor?
It wasn't that Kevin looked down on Thor, but rather that his power output was too unstable.
With his hammer in hand, he could instantly defeat anything and everything, but without it, he was like a second-rate hero on the street, easily dealt with by anyone.
The name God of Thunder truly lived up to its reputation.
And putting aside his inherent strength, in the what if series, except for the Thor who fought Captain Marvel, other versions of Thor were also eliminated early on.
Either killed by Hawkeye's arrow, or wiped out by Ultron's large-scale nuclear explosion.
Even Ego could suppress him with a human wave tactic, leaving him unable to get up. The mighty God of Thunder had such difficulty clearing even minor enemies.
Although Kevin knew that a large part of this was for plot reasons, forcing Thor's strength to be weakened.
But from the movie's performance, Thor was indeed a little weaker than Captain Marvel.
Seeing Kevin praise Carol so highly, Star-Lord became curious:
"Is this Carol really that powerful? Even you think you can't beat her?"
"It's not a matter of being able to beat her or not… She's just very… very special, you know?"
Kevin didn't know how to describe it, thought for a moment, decided to give up describing, and skipped this topic:
"Anyway, we'll just leave now, Thor, where is Ultron now?"
"I'll have Heimdall send us over with the Bifrost, but first… we need to go to the ground, otherwise this ship will be blown up by the Bifrost's beam."
The Bifrost was not only a mode of transportation for Asgardians to travel across star systems, but also a weapon.
In the plot of the first Thor movie, Loki almost destroyed Earth using this method.
However, speaking of Loki, Kevin suddenly remembered something:
"Wait, who is using the Bifrost now?"
"Heimdall."
"He hasn't been exiled?"
"Why would he be exiled? He hasn't done anything wrong. Although my father has been a bit muddled lately, he's not so muddled as to be this absurd."
Thor frowned as he replied, seemingly displeased with Kevin's question.
Kevin didn't know what to say.
According to the plot progression, even if this was a what if world, at this stage, Loki should have replaced Odin and taken charge of Asgard.
After all, the what if universe also followed the main storyline of the Marvel movies, at least for most of the episodes.
Heimdall had the superpower to see any corner of the universe, and would easily notice that the current Odin was Loki in disguise. Originally, Loki had exiled Heimdall for treason because of this.
But now it seemed Loki hadn't acted yet.
So, should he tell Thor about this and see if he could gain a skill point?
Kevin stroked his chin, considering, and decided to tell Thor about this interesting matter after this great battle.
Regardless of what Kevin was thinking, after deciding to depart, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor left the spaceship and went to the planet's surface below to await the Bifrost's teleportation.
Not all of the Guardians of the Galaxy went.
While all the veteran members would go, new member Mantis and Kraglin, who was responsible for piloting the ship, would not.
Nebula also had to take on the task of staying behind and waiting for the Guardians of the Galaxy to return.
So in the end, besides the Guardians of the Galaxy plus Kevin, only Yondu went with Thor.
Kevin actually didn't want Yondu to go. He was worried that under the influence of the power of destiny, Yondu would die on the battlefield against Ultron.
Wouldn't all his efforts be in vain then?
But Yondu insisted on coming, and Kevin had no choice.
He could only say to respect destiny.
The group arrived on the ground. The colorful light points of the Bifrost flashed in the sky and descended rapidly upon them.
The Bifrost enveloped the group, rushing them towards their destination. Countless star systems flashed by as light points outside the Bifrost.
This was a more advanced teleportation method than wormhole travel, a technology unique to Asgard. Kevin wondered if this technology could be shared.
If it could, Kevin would also want to get one for the The Boys world.
To see if there were any aliens outside the The Boys world.
The Bifrost's teleportation was extremely fast. The group felt as if only a few minutes had passed, like taking an elevator, and in an instant, they were teleported from there to Asgard's palace.
Then, before Kevin could even look around and admire the scenery of the palace, Heimdall activated the Bifrost again, sending the group from the palace to the battlefield with Ultron.
When the rainbow-colored light faded, what Kevin saw was a red land.
It was like a legendary hell, everywhere was a vibrant red, be it the plants, the soil, or even the sky.
And in the midst of this red land, the Avengers had already begun fighting Ultron's army.
Ultron seemed to have used the resources here to create many ordinary robots during this time.
While not overwhelming in number, the Avengers found them relatively difficult to deal with, especially with the main members not yet fully assembled.
Hmm?
Wait, where was Captain Marvel Carol?
Scanning the ground, Kevin couldn't find Captain Marvel Carol. Just as he was about to look up, he saw a glowing humanoid object flying rapidly from a distance.
The glowing humanoid object flew extremely fast and appeared very suddenly. Kevin had just looked up and before he could react, he was hit full-on by the humanoid object.
Thud!!
With a dull thud, Kevin and the glowing humanoid object were sent flying backward.
They landed on the ground, dirt flying, and a long ravine nearly a thousand meters long appeared on the surface of the land.
