foreigner's journey

Chapter 1257 I have a bold idea
As for the Skeleton Knight, the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One's attitude was not to provoke him but to observe him cautiously.

The reason she doesn't provoke him is that he is suspected to be a companion of Ms. White Moxi. After Ancient One and Moxi first met seventeen years ago and experienced a series of events together, she has a high degree of trust in Moxi and believes that Moxi will never have any thoughts or actions that are detrimental to the earth.

The reason for the cautious observation is that the Supreme Sorcerer is well aware of the attraction and bewitching power of the Infinity Stones to any intelligent creature in the universe. Each Infinity Stone has its own ideas, especially the Mind Stone and the Soul Stone. She is afraid that the Skull Knight will eventually be bewitched by the Mind Stone and become a being like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings".

Thinking of this, the Supreme Sorcerer looked at the Skeleton Knight and said, "Although I really want to keep you for a cup of tea that I brewed myself, the situation in Kamar-Taj is a bit chaotic right now, so I won't keep you and the others."

"No problem, Master, please do as you please."

The Skeleton Knight swung his sword backhand, creating a purple space gap, and rode his horse into it.

After the space crack closed, the Supreme Sorcerer pinched the middle fingers and thumbs of both hands together to form a seal, crossed his hands in front of his body, and slowly pulled them to both sides.

The huge mirror space immediately spread out in all directions with her as the center, and soon covered the entire Kamar-Taj, pulling in all the screaming Chitauri and Vanguards who were fleeing, as well as the spaceships and warships in the sky.

At this point, no trace of Kamar-Taj can be found from the outside, whether by observation or touch.

The Supreme Sorcerer used his enormous magical power to send the entire Kamar-Taj and the invaders into a closed mirror space, making it easier to treat the mages and apprentices and execute the invaders.

The Avengers only felt the scene around them change, and they fell from the ruins filled with thick smoke into a dense jungle.

[Sir, your coordinates are 4.6 kilometers to the north.]

Jarvis' voice rang in his ears, and Iron Man sat down on the ground at once: "This is really impolite. After all, we are here to help, can't we chat for a while? I still have a lot of questions-"

He stopped chattering because he saw a thin booklet in his hand. Judging from the material and color, it should be quite historical. The cover of the book was written with Chinese characters that Stark could not understand.

"On the Art of Fusion of Spiritual Power and Armor: Enlightenment Volume", according to Jarvis' real-time translation, this is the Chinese title of the book.

Several other people also exclaimed in surprise.

Hawkeye was holding a simple black bow with mysterious runes faintly flowing on it.

Bruce Banner was looking at the simple pair of black pants in his arms with a puzzled look on his face.

Captain America stroked his brand new dark blue battle suit with an expression of surprise. The style of the suit was completely different from before, more like a slim fit wizard style.

At the same time, everyone had a piece of paper in their hands, which seemed to contain a brief introduction to the corresponding item.

Hawkeye's bow is called 'Voodoo Shooter'. By consuming the user's mental power, the arrows shot through this bow can be made sharper and fly faster. If a large amount of mental power is invested, the arrows can be enchanted with 'voodoo', causing hallucinations, poisoning and other negative effects on the target.

Bruce Banner's pants don't have a name, but they are made of a special fabric called 'Magic Core Silk', which can be stretched to a great extent and also gives the wearer a certain resistance to external psychic influences.

Captain America's new suit is called the 'Dimensional Guardian Robe', which has a very good resistance to damage caused by magic and supernatural powers, allowing the body to have stronger recovery capabilities from trauma, while the suit itself can also slowly repair itself.

It seems that this is the Sorcerer Supreme's gift to thank the Avengers for rushing to help, and his apology for closing the door to visitors.

Seeing that the other companions were still fiddling with the "young man's first magic item" with curiosity, Iron Man thought for a moment, unilaterally cut off the communication channel that Nick Fury had left in his armor, and said directly: "I'll go and see if there are any lone enemies around. You just wait here, the rescue plane will be here soon."

As he spoke, he controlled the iron armor to fly into the sky and soon disappeared.

After flying for a while, Iron Man suddenly stopped above the clouds in the sky.

Because the Skeleton Knight was standing quietly in the sky riding a bone-armored horse.

Stark calmed himself down, slowly flew to a distance of less than five meters from the Skeleton Knight, stopped, and took the initiative to open the visor: "This... sir? Can I take a minute of your time to talk?"

The Skeleton Knight turned his head and looked at Stark without saying anything.

Seeing the lifelike skull mask and the light in the eye sockets up close, Stark swallowed involuntarily and tried to make his voice sound sincere:
“Sir, maybe you didn’t notice just now, but I was actually around the battlefield and witnessed your fight.

I believe that you are the guardian who protects the earth from foreign invasion, and my personal starting point and goal are exactly the same as yours. It can be said that we are in the same camp.

So, can I take up a moment of your time? As your ally, I hope to learn more about the invaders."

The Skeleton Knight didn't say anything. Stark thought that the negotiation had failed. Just as he was racking his brains to think of how to escape, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice behind him -

"I think I can answer you about the intruder, Stark."

Looking back, Stark found that the mysterious white lady was standing in the sky, looking at him with a smile.

How come everyone can fly these days? Stark muttered to himself, then smiled and said, "Dear Ms. Bai, it would be my honor if you were to answer this question."

"The invaders are a cosmic invader called the 'Dark Order'. They are composed of 'Chirata' and 'Vanguard', and are controlled by the most insane and terrifying enemy of all living beings in the universe, [Thanos]."

"Thanos..." Stark muttered the name repeatedly.

"The Black Order under Thanos has five famous warriors who are famous in the universe. They are Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, Supergiant, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive. These five are also known as the Black Five. Any one of them makes people in every corner of the universe tremble with fear."

Ms. White, Moshi, smiled and said, "Of course, thanks to Mr. Garcelik, there is only one Black Order left, and Thanos has suffered heavy losses."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to the Skeleton Knight, who nodded in return.

Garcelik, is this the name of the Skeleton Knight? Iron Man secretly noted it down, and then asked: "I noticed that Lord Garcelik, the Supreme Sorcerer and the invaders were fighting over something called the 'Infinity Gem'. What on earth is this thing?"

"Ah, you are very perceptive. The Infinity Stones are the earliest things in the universe and the most powerful objects in the universe.

There are six of them in total, corresponding to space, time, reality, power, mind and soul.

The Sorcerer Supreme is the guardian of the Time Stone, the Cosmic Cube that SHIELD has been secretly hiding is the container of the Space Stone, and the Mind Stone is inlaid on the top of the Mind Scepter that Ebony Maw brought this time.

Three Infinity Stones appearing at the same time is something that has never happened in hundreds or even thousands of years."

Stark keenly grasped the meaning of Moshi's words: "You mean, the Infinity Stones rarely appear at the same time? Is it because their power is too strong and cannot be controlled by the same person?"

"That's right. The power of the Infinity Stones is so strong that the energy leakage of a single stone is enough to completely destroy the body of an ordinary creature. A 'container' must be used to carry them.

The Eye of Agamotto, the Scepter of Mind, the Cosmic Cube, the Cosmic Orb...these famous legendary treasures are all containers of Infinity Stones.

It’s a pity that now, except for the Mind Stone, most of the other gems have fallen into Thanos’ hands.

The Earth is about to face a huge crisis.”

Ms. Bai shook her head and sighed.

The Skeleton Knight also opened the mouth of his visor, took out the golden soul gem from it, and held it in his palm.

"That guy named Thanos wants to collect six Infinity Stones? What does he want to do, become the emperor of the universe?" Stark couldn't understand Thanos' motives for collecting the Infinity Stones. Could it be that this thing is like the imperial seal of Shenzhou, whoever gets it can become the emperor of the universe?

“Although no one has ever achieved such a feat, legend has it that once all six Infinity Stones are collected and placed in the same container, the holder can instantly wipe out half of all life in the universe with just a snap of their fingers.”

Stark's face froze and he looked at Ms. Bai in disbelief.

Half the universe? A snap of the fingers?
"This is exactly what makes Thanos crazy. He believes that the resources of the universe are limited and cannot support the waste of more and more lives, so they must be curbed. He is arrogant and firmly believes that he is the destiny and the savior of the universe. He vows to collect six infinity stones to wipe out half of the lives in the universe and restore the balance of the universe."

Ms. Bai said with a melancholy look:

"The Mind Stone is on Earth now. When Thanos recovers, he will definitely do everything he can to attack Earth and seize the stone. By then, it will be difficult for the small Earth to survive under the crushing of the infinite army of the Dark Order. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Stark asked eagerly.

"Unless there is an army on Earth that is strong enough and numerous enough to fight against the Black Order. Only then will there be a chance to fight Thanos."

After hearing what Ms. Bai said, the thoughts that had been suppressed in Stark's mind suddenly exploded.

If I can create an iron army that can replace superheroes to protect the earth, and equip them with an "iron general" who will not age or rebel, then the earth will never be threatened again.

I want to build the strongest robot that will not lose to any super villain! And an infinite army of steel attached to it!
To make such a robot, the body material must be made of 'vibranium', and its brain...

Stark looked at the Skull Knight, or more precisely, at the Mind Gem in his palm.

He calmed himself down and then said:
"Ms. Bai, Mr. Garcelik, I have a very bold idea that I would like to discuss with you."
