Marvel: Chinese Restaurant Beginning in Hell's Kitchen

Thanos moved his mechanical arm and was quite satisfied. He instructed Nebula and Gamora:

"You'd better find a way to help me get the Infinity Stones later, otherwise you know what the consequences will be."

Gamora and Nebula said nothing, just looked at each other, feeling dissatisfied in their hearts.

Is it that easy to get the Infinity Stones?

If it's easy, come on.

Thanos snorted coldly, turned around and entered the restaurant again.

In the restaurant, Phoenix came in and greeted Li Jie as usual, then walked over and sat down next to Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange said bluntly without waiting for Phoenix to speak: "Don't waste your time. Unless you can kill me, I will not give you the Infinity Stones."

Phoenix Girl, however, was acting out of character, with a smile on her face, saying:

“Stephen, you misunderstood, I have no intention of snatching the Infinity Stones from you.

On the contrary, I think we can work together.”

"cooperate?

How to cooperate?

Doctor Strange showed a hint of interest.

Phoenix glanced at the old Thor and the two Marvel Captains who had followed in and said:

"Obviously their target now is me, but if they succeed in taking the Infinity Stones from me, or even kill me, what do you think they will do to you next?"

"Is this a threat?" Doctor Strange asked.

Phoenix Girl shook her head and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm just helping you analyze the situation."

Doctor Strange said: "Phoenix, I think you are overthinking it.

I can give them the Infinity Stones right now and then help them kill you, as long as they promise to let me go."

Phoenix Girl smiled and said, "That does sound like a good idea, but do you really want to do that?"

After a slight pause, he continued to speak,

"Stephen, you and I know the same secret, and if we work together we can conquer the world.

Isn't this what you really want in your heart?"

"Hey, do you mind if I sit here?"

Old Thor came over.

Doctor Strange didn't say anything, but Phoenix smiled and said, "It's okay, sit down."

Old Thor sat down and said, "I guess you must be discussing how to deal with the Infinity Stones.

How is it, is there a result?"

Phoenix replied: “Thor, Stephen is considering working with me.

Once we have collected all six Infinity Stones, we can completely change the world with just a snap of our fingers."

Elder Thor nodded and said, "That sounds good, but even if you two work together, you can't collect all six Infinity Stones."

“That’s why we want to bring you in.

Thor, you come from the future, and with you we can better control the universe."

Phoenix girl preaches.

"Cuckoo..."

Elderly Thor couldn't help laughing: "Phoenix girl, it is precisely because I come from the future that I know what crazy things you will do next, so do you think I will be stupid enough to cooperate with you?"

The Phoenix Girl sneered.

At this time, Thanos also walked in, and walked straight over, pulled out a chair, and sat at the same table with the three of them:

“Although I don’t have the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones in my hand right now, I think I am the only one here who has both the Infinity Gauntlet and the six Infinity Stones.

So I feel I have the right to be here and give my opinion.”

Phoenix, Doctor Strange, and old Thor looked at each other, then nodded in agreement with what Thanos had just said.

Thanos set his eyes on Phoenix and sneered, "First of all, do you think that possessing the Infinity Gauntlet and collecting all six Infinity Stones will really allow you to conquer the world and become invincible in the universe?"

"if not?"

Phoenix Girl asked back.

Thanos shook his head and sighed, and set his eyes on Thor: "You are from the future, tell her what will happen in the future?"

After a moment's hesitation, the old Thor finally spoke: "Phoenix, after you obtained the Infinity Stones, you brought unimaginable disasters to the world, but you will not be able to fulfill your wish to rule the universe for a long time to come."

"so what?

Do you think I will believe you if you say that?"

The Phoenix Girl snorted disdainfully.

Thanos then goes on to say: “The Living Tribunal, the Beyonder, Adam Warlock, and so many more.

There are many powerful people in this world that you can't imagine. Even if you have the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gems, you can't defeat them.

Also, the Infinity Gems are not the most powerful beings in the universe.

For example, the Heart of the Universe. If you obtain it, you can completely defeat the Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems.

There is one most important question.”

Thanos deliberately stopped and looked at everyone, then said in a low voice,

"Don't you think there are too many Infinity Stones in front of you now?

What I mean is that the Infinity Stones are not unique, and they are not nearly as powerful as you think.

Do you understand what we mean?"

Phoenix Girl remained silent. There were indeed too many Infinity Stones in front of her.

Doctor Strange, who had been silent all this time, spoke up:

"I think we need to figure out one thing right now, why are you, Captain Marvel and I here?

Only by figuring this out can we figure out why there are extra Infinity Stones here."

"I think there is someone who can tell us the answer."

Doctor Strange said this and turned his gaze to Li Jie.

"he?

I find that you all seem to be very wary of him.

Yes, I admit that the food he cooks is the most delicious food in the universe, but in the end he is just a cook."

Thanos said incomprehensibly.

Old Thor, Doctor Strange, and Phoenix all had sneers on their faces at the same time. In their eyes, Thanos' ignorance was cute.

"I know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to go and ask him. He won't tell you the answer, and he doesn't like being involved."

Elderly Thor reminded.

Phoenix Girl sighed and said, "Then it seems that we can only find the answer ourselves.

I have a feeling that the guy behind the scenes will come out soon."

"Look!"

Someone suddenly shouted, drawing everyone's attention outside the restaurant.

A white beam of energy fell from the sky and condensed into a human figure on the open space above the restaurant.

Judging from her body shape, she should be a woman, and her body is almost transparent, composed entirely of powerful energy.

"Stardust!"

Thanos shouted with a somewhat unnatural look on his face.

"You know her?"

Phoenix Girl asked.

Thanos nodded and replied: "She is one of Galactus's apostles.

Stardust's body is composed entirely of cosmic particles and energy, which makes her difficult to destroy and can survive even if she is sucked into a star explosion or a black hole.

It's a very difficult character.

Her presence here means that the bastard Galactus will soon be here as well, and then the planet will be devoured."

"So even you can't beat her?"

Phoenix Girl asked.

"she?"

Thanos snorted disdainfully.

"In the past, let alone Stardust, even if Galactus appeared here, it would be as easy for me to kill him as to crush an ant."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the Infinity Gauntlet on Phoenix Girl.

"If you can return the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones to me, I can..."

"Thanos, wake up and stop dreaming."

Old Thor snorted.

Thanos smiled awkwardly, but he didn't give up in his heart. He was still thinking of ways to get back the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones.

As soon as Stardust appeared, he tried to destroy everything with an energy explosion. Seeing this, Doctor Strange immediately used a teleportation portal to stop Stardust and pulled him into the mirror space.

Unfortunately, the mirror space cannot trap stardust.

As the Galactus, one of the five creators of the universe, Stardust's strength is far beyond that of Doctor Strange, and the black hole she created can directly devour the mirror space in front of her.

In order to prevent the disaster from happening, Doctor Strange had to enter the mirror space, along with Phoenix, old Thor, and Thanos.

"Hi Stardust, long time no see."

Thanos showed up as an old friend and greeted Stardust.

"Thanos?"

Stardust was a little surprised when he saw Thanos, but his eyes were full of disdain.

Even for an existence of Thanos's level, bootlickers will still be looked down upon.

Because of what Thanos did to please Death, another one of the five gods of creation, Stardust looked down on him.

"Infinity Stones."

Stardust's attention quickly shifted from Thanos to the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones, and she realized that the people in front of her were not ordinary.

Thanos was a little embarrassed and started to speak:

"Stardust, you are indeed powerful, but are you sure you want to be enemies with these people who possess the Infinity Stones just for a planet?"

The appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones did surprise Stardust, but she was not someone who was scared.

Stardust's loyalty to Galactus is even more terrifying. In order to gain Galactus' trust, she even took the initiative to betray her own people.

"Thanos, you know I'm here because of Galactus. Do you think I will betray Galactus because of the appearance of the Infinity Stones?"

Stardust snorted coldly.

Thanos smiled and said, "Stardust, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that maybe we can think of a peaceful way to solve the problem at hand."

"Thanos, don't you think it's an insult to the word 'peace' coming out of your mouth?"

Stardust sneered and continued to preach.

"Well, for the sake of death I can give you one chance. Give me a reason not to destroy this place."

Thanos knew that these few people alone could not scare Stardust at all. If he collected all six Infinity Stones, he could really kill Stardust like crushing an ant.

The problem is that the three in front of him are not of the same star quality.

"Delicious food, here is the most delicious food in the universe."

Thanos finally found a reasonable reason.

"gourmet food?"

Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then he started preaching.

"Thanos, are you kidding me?

Don’t you know that my life span is infinite even if I don’t eat or drink?

Do you think I would give up a planet for food?"

Thanos laughed and said, "Stardust, of course I know you won't change your mind for a bite of food, but have you ever thought about Galactus?

How would he feel if he knew that he missed out on the most delicious food in the universe because of you?"

Stardust hesitated. The only one in this world who could control her was Galactus.

"All right.

Thanos, I could use a taste of the food you're talking about.

However, there is only one chance.

If you don’t impress me with the most delicious food you can offer, then no one can save the planet.”

"make a deal."

After Thanos finished speaking, he turned to Phoenix, Elderly Thor, and Doctor Strange and said, "Can one of you three go to the restaurant and get her something to eat?"

Neither Phoenix nor Doctor Strange said anything, and it was obvious that no one was willing to do this kind of errand work.

Old Thor hesitated and said, "I'll go."

As he spoke, he raised the Storm Axe in his hand and used the teleportation magic on it to return to the restaurant, and then brought the food back to the mirror space.

Stardust stared at the plain-looking food in front of him and said, "Thanos, is this the most delicious food in the universe that you mentioned?"

Thanos said seriously: "Stardust, I know you are full of doubts about me and the food in front of you.

But they are indeed the most delicious food in the universe. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

Stardust sighed and said:

"Thanos, I feel like you wasted an opportunity to save the world."

Thanos didn't say anything, just made a gesture of invitation.

Stardust picked up a piece of Mi San Dao and threw it into his mouth, swallowing it without even chewing. The Mi San Dao was consumed by the powerful energy in Stardust's body in an instant.

After a moment of hesitation, Stardust threw another piece into his mouth, savored it carefully this time, and then put the third piece into his mouth.

Next, Stardust began to taste the remaining food one by one. Every time he ate a new food, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

After finishing all the food in front of him, Xingchen nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Thanos, you are absolutely right, those are indeed the most delicious food in the universe.

However, I cannot guarantee that the great Galactus will like them, nor can I guarantee that he will change his mind about destroying this place because of these foods. "

“Of course, you just need to report truthfully to Galactus and invite him to come here to taste it.

No matter what the outcome is, we will accept the reality.”

Thanos preached.

"Well, I'm sure we'll see each other again soon."

After Stardust finished speaking, he created an energy explosion, directly broke through the limitations of the mirror space and disappeared.

Thanos turned and spoke to the three people: "Look, I just helped you solve a crisis."

"Thanos, you are a complete idiot for allowing Galactus to come here."

The Phoenix Girl cursed without any mercy.

Doctor Strange followed suit: "This is indeed a stupid decision."

Thanos...Hey, why didn't you say anything just now?

cough.

Thanos cleared his throat and said, "If you have no confidence in the food here and think it cannot impress Galactus and make him change his mind, then it doesn't matter.

Anyway, what I said just now was just to help us buy time.

Okay, now let’s discuss what to do with the Infinity Gauntlet and those Infinity Stones.”
