infinite hero

The spaceship here.

Almost as soon as he hung up the communication, Tony sat down in the chair next to him. "What's wrong?" He said irritably, his eyes fell on the light-colored spaceship ground a little ahead, more like blaming himself, "Who hacked into my system?"

Sid was still standing on the other side of the communicator. "Do you think Jarvis' system has been tampered with?"

"Undoubtedly." Tony said angrily, "The difference is just a matter of degree - if the situation is better, Jarvis should still have part of the system I set up, that is, being coerced; if the situation is bad... ..." He wiped his face vigorously, "Then you can't believe a word of what he said just now!"

"If I had to choose between the two, I would prefer the former," Sid said.

Jarvis was their butler when they were kids; when the butler died after Howard, Tony built a new electronic butler.When it comes to their feelings for Jarvis, the two brothers have no less.

Tony gave a short laugh. "You don't have to comfort me."

"This is not comfort, but trust." Sid spoke slowly, but his voice was firm. "Not only for you, but also for Jarvis. Even if something happens when we are not together, Jarvis must be able to deal with it."

"Thank you, sir." The electronic butler replied quickly.The earth system is tampered with, but it cannot affect the spacecraft system.

The familiar voice finally made Tony's brows not so tight.Although the program on the spacecraft is only a partial copy of the earth system, it is not hopeless, is it? "What you said just now meant when we will return to Earth?" He looked at Sid.

"Anytime," Sid replied, "since Loki isn't dead, we don't have to look for the realm of the dead. Instead, we have to rush back to Earth to help!"

The thought of it made Tony uncomfortable.They obviously fell into Loki's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain! "Speaking of which, we just failed to inform others that Loki is still alive!"

Realizing this, Sid couldn't help but fell into deep thought. "Maybe we can take the risk and inform Asgard directly?"

Tony glared at him. "Are you going to have Thor rush in and kill us with his sledgehammer?"

"Not everyone will be as stubborn as Thor. Don't forget, Thor and Frigga are the only ones who believe in Loki the most in Asgard." Sid recalled, "Do you still remember us and that How about two god brothers going to Walter Alheim together? Heimdall, the gatekeeper, doesn't seem to trust Loki at all!"

Tony quickly understood what Sid meant. "This looks like sowing discord," he muttered under his breath, "but it can't be helped now." He thought for a moment and asked, "So, can we get Heimdall to send us back to Earth?" If you use the bridge to teleport, it will be much faster than relying on the spaceship!

Sid hadn't thought of that. "I don't know, this matter may require the approval of Frigga or Thor." Because of thinking, he slowly rolled his eyes, "But it doesn't matter if you try."

"That's right." Tony stood up from his chair, looked up and said, "Heimdall? Can you hear me? Oh, well, even if you can hear me, I can't hear your answer. That's fine There are two things I need your help with. First, inform Thor or anyone else who can manage that Loki is not dead and is probably on Earth at the moment. Second, if it is convenient, send us back New York, because something very bad could happen there."

After finishing speaking, Tony looked at Sid with a look of disbelief on his face: "Thor told me that this is fine, but I always feel that it is not particularly reliable." He spread his hands, "Can you really hear it over there? "

Normally, Sid might suggest that Tony yell again.But considering that it is better for them to make less noise now, he just pursed his lips: "Even if Heimdall heard it, he still needs time to report it?"

Tony had nothing to say.And just as he was about to sit back in his chair, the spacecraft suddenly shook violently.

Without exchanging glances, the two people in the cabin rushed towards the bridge amidst the sudden sound of the siren. "...What's wrong? Have we encountered space-time turbulence?" Tony asked loudly. "But I didn't see anything unusual on the route map just now!"

Before Sid could answer, the spaceship shook violently again.This time it was obvious—there was a crash!They are under attack!

"Alarm, the underbelly of the spaceship has been attacked by an unknown object." The electronic steward reported, "The invisible shield is broken, and the prototype will be exposed within ten seconds."

Not having time to swear a word, both of them quickly sat in the driver's seat, let the automatic manipulator put on the armor for them, and kept their eyes on the screen in front of them.

"Unidentified object? It looks blunt." Sid said quickly.Following his perception, the electronic screen displayed the shape of an unknown object inch by inch.

Tony was distracted looking at the 3D map while controlling the spaceship to rise. "It looks like a rock... no! It's a Kree skirmish!"

The shape of the small spaceship of the dark elves is completely different. At first glance, the small warship of the Cree looks like a lump of shale, with no streamline at all. It is hard to imagine how bad its wind tunnel test effect is.

But no matter how bad it was, there were too many of them now - as Sid's perception opened up, he found that they had inadvertently fallen into the siege of the Kree!

"How did they find us?" Tony wondered. "Even with a blanket search, there are too many of them coming too fast!"

As if to prove this point, there were two more explosions, and the entire spaceship tilted to one side.

"The self-made gravity system is the first batch to fail again." Sid said, his tone almost a little helpless, because he suddenly felt a buoyancy force to lift him up.But the seat belt was still doing its job, so he was still sitting there. "Remember to improve this next time, Tony." He said while inputting the coordinates of the gaps in the Cree battleship array, trying to calculate a relatively good breakthrough route.

"If there is a next time!" Tony took the time to shout back while manipulating the spaceship to avoid the dense shells.

The two of them didn't notice that during the vibration of the spaceship, the small ball that was originally placed between them rolled down the table and floated up again, so light that it didn't make a sound.The cover that was originally concealed also fell down, leaving only a hemisphere and the swaying dark purple smoke in it.There's an inevitable sound when the lid comes down, but it's immediately lost in the background noise—whether it's the whizzing of a craft, the rattling of glass shattering, or the constant sound of explosions. ——

"No, there are too many of them!" In just two seconds, Sid realized this from the crowd of spaceships. "It looks like all the Kerry figures have been mobilized... Ronan must already know what the sphere is!"

In the middle of his speech, the front of the spaceship caught fire again due to the shell explosion.The light was so dazzling that the two of them had to close their eyes and turn their faces to avoid it.

"If this continues, we will be blown up!" Tony shouted with his loudest voice—but he still doubted that Sid might not be able to hear it, because the movement was too loud—"The shield must be opened!"

The so-called protective shield is the kind Sid used to deal with the dark elves.Dark red, devouring anything without hesitation, as if making them disappear from the universe.

"I know!" Sid's entire face was scrunched up by the scorching heat, "the whole ship, protect—" he shouted at the same volume, before realizing that they had a gem on board: "Wait, Where is the Reality Gem?" The self-made gravity system is broken, and the vibration is so strong, the sphere must have rolled down!

He struggled to turn his face towards Tony.It was not easy at first, but with the opening of the dark red mask, the movement gradually became easier.But the next second when he could see Tony clearly, he found that one hand of Tony was reflexively blocking the front of the transparent helmet, and the other hand was shaken into the air; spheres—they were all still moving, about to collide—

"Do not--!"

To Sid, every second that Tony's hand and the ball get closer is slow motion.He heard his own desperate voice, and saw himself reaching out, but couldn't; the hand finally touched the sphere—

In the next instant, the dim purple exploded, and suddenly bright purple light and dark fine ash flew up to fill his field of vision——

"No—!" Sid didn't know how many words he shouted, or how long; he only knew that he must not just watch Tony being killed by the self-explosion brought by the reality gem in front of his eyes!

At the same time, a colorful dazzling beam shot straight down, completely enveloping the spaceship.In the next moment, those intensive artillery fires lost their original targets, crackling and hitting the bodies of their own people——

What a lively and dazzling picture of cosmic fireworks!

"...What is that?" Ronan was standing on the sideboard of the battleship, witnessing this scene.When he realized that the two had left the battlefield, he was completely out of breath and his face was distorted. "How can it be?"

He worked so hard to put on a catch-in-the-urn gesture, and he was about to succeed, but was intercepted by Asgard at the last second? !Those two guys are so lucky, right?

Xing Yun was still following behind him, and his usually expressionless face was shocked by the fact that he saw it.

God's Domain is willing to help in such an emergency even if they can get the Reality Gem. These two Earthlings seem to have incredible backgrounds!

After a while, she whispered, "The highest accuser..."

"Say!" Ronan was now full of anger, only thinking about crushing Asgard.

"I just saw... before the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard arrived, the spaceship seemed to explode from the inside." Nebula said cautiously. "It looks like a purple light."

Ronan's eyesight was not bad at all, and certainly captured the situation.The Reality Gem is a deep purple, and it's impossible not to think too much about it. "What do you want to say? Those two people may be dead?"

"I'm not sure." Xing Yun hurriedly said, "I just doubt. Just imagine, if you can steal the Reality Gem without making a sound, this kind of accident shouldn't happen at this time, shouldn't it? If it happens, then the first time It should happen!"

"You mean..." Ronan's anger calmed down a little. "Among those two people, one is actually from Earth?"

Nebula nodded. "If so," she said quickly, "we'll probably only have to hunt down one next."

Ronan didn't nod or shake his head.

In his opinion, this may not be a good thing.As far as he knew, those two earthlings were brothers.Although they are not biological brothers, it definitely means that the relationship between the two is closer than ordinary people, otherwise they would not leave the earth together and come to the Andromeda galaxy.

If one of them was a genuine Earthling, that meant he would be the other's weakness.It's even possible that another person stole the Reality Stone and didn't use it, just to maintain their status quo.

But if, as Nebula guessed, that earthling died in the explosion, the remaining one would lose all restraints.Originally, the other party had two infinite gems in their hands, and they were already at a disadvantage; but fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to use them.In other words, if the opponent's personality changes drastically because of this, it will become more difficult for them to cut in!

"Send the order, let's go to Earth." Ronan ordered coldly.

"...Why?" Xing Yun was taken aback.She couldn't think of why Ronan would send the army to Earth.Obviously, it was Asgard who took those two people away, wasn't it?Moreover, when Ronan said "we", it meant that all the main players were going!

"If the old weakness is lost, create a new one for him!" Ronan's voice was extremely cold.The sphere had already slipped under his nose twice, and he would never allow it to happen a third time!

1 minute ago, Asgard.

"Boom-boom!"

With a loud cracking sound, the entire golden ball at the end of the Rainbow Bridge shook, and cracks spread rapidly on the originally smooth surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.But it was probably lucky, it moved violently a few times, and in the end it didn't fall into the infinite abyss under the bridge, nor did it collapse into pieces.

In the golden ball, whether it was Thor or Heimdall, they were all sent flying by the powerful transverse wave brought about by the explosion.Heimdall hit the circular ceiling and fell down; while Thor flew directly to the Rainbow Bridge, rolled over a dozen times before stopping, and narrowly reached the edge of the bridge.

"Ahem!" Thor took a few breaths, and then he felt relieved from the staring situation.Not caring about checking himself, he suddenly turned over and got up, and ran back to the golden ball. "Heimdall?" he called out. "How are you?"

"It's lucky that he didn't die." Heimdall's breathless voice came through a thick cloud of smoke.

A kneeling figure could be vaguely seen in the direction of the source of the sound, and Thor put down his snack.He fanned in front of him with one hand, and held a hammer in the other. He estimated the direction and walked deeper into the smoke and dust. "Tony? Sid?" he called.

"Don't come here just yet," Sid's voice answered him quickly.

Thor stood still.Although he didn't know why Sid said that, but he believed in Sid, and the other party would never ask him to do this for no reason. "Is Tony by your side? Is he alright?" Although he now wants to know what's going on with Loki, obviously, he can't be too hasty.

Sid paused in response.When he spoke again, his tone dropped several emotional steps. "I'm afraid it's not very good."

The smoke and dust were still everywhere, but relying on the soul gem, he could already see Tony's appearance - the other party was lying on the ground, his entire right arm disappeared, motionless.It must be added that Tony is now completely unconscious, and his brain activity has completely ceased.

Of course, no blood.In other words, there was a little bit of it originally, but it was controlled by Sid not to flow out.It was too late when he used the soul gem, so that he didn't save Tony's right hand.Compared to being completely wiped out, the loss of the hand is already a very good result; but... what about the Reality Gem?

He carefully turned the person lying on the ground over, and then saw a flash of purple light.

After a while, the smoke finally cleared, and Thor could see the Starks.That's when he realized what Sid meant when he told him to hold still—if he took two more steps, it would be time for him to step on Tony.

Even so, Thor could hardly restrain himself from yelling: "Your brother's hand...?"

He heard from Heimdall that Tony and Sid got the Reality Gem on the way to find the kingdom of death, and they were besieged by the Cree army because of this.By the time he got the news and arrived at the Golden Globe, the Stark brothers were already under siege.He immediately made the decision to transfer the two of them, but now...is it still a step too late?

"No, you were already in time, but we had an accident." Sid knelt beside Tony, carefully checking Tony's eyelids and pulse. "We could have escaped unscathed, but Tony accidentally touched the Reality Gem."

At this time, Heimdall also approached from the side, clutching his chest, and was stunned when he heard the words: "He touched the Reality Gem?" Then there is still such a big body left?Then, he realized that his thinking was in the wrong direction: "You saved your brother with the soul gem?"

Sid nodded, but his eyes still did not leave Tony. "The good news is, I didn't let Death take Tony's soul. The bad news is," he said, looking up at Thor, "it seems to have gone to Tony's heart."

Hearing this, Thor and Heimdall's eyes fell on Tony's chest.There is a transparent window design on the chest of Tony's armor, and the light of the reactor inside can be seen-it used to be a bright light blue, but now it has become a brighter light purple, calm and stable.

The expression on Thor's face changed for a while, and he finally squatted down. "Even for me, getting the Reality Gem might not be easy enough." He looked at Tony's peaceful face carefully, "but he seems to be asleep." As he spoke, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at Sid, " Is this the same as your last time? A drastic side effect? ​​The difference is just a different Infinity Stone?"

Sid wanted to nod, but he could only shake his head. "I don't know. I don't know anything about it other than that it's called the Reality Stone." If he hadn't got two Infinity Stones, where's the power to stop the third from turning Tony into ashes?

The two looked at each other.

"Anyway, he needs treatment and rest now." Thor finally came to a conclusion.He stood up again and asked Sid: "Are you going to leave your brother in Asgard? The queen will take good care of him. Then we will go to the courtyard together and deal with Loki and another The problem?"

This time Sid stared at Thor in surprise. "Do you believe that Loki is not dead?" The reaction was different from what they expected!

Thor smiled a mixture of surprise and anger.For obvious reasons, some cyan shadows accumulated under his eyes that could not be dissipated in a short time.This, combined with the dull blond hair, made him look gaunter than last time, so that the whole thing felt more bleak. "Half and half."

The explanation is sketchy, but Sid gets it right away - half of Thor doesn't want Loki to lie to him again, and the other half of Thor wants Loki to really not be dead.These two ideas are so contradictory that Thor can't make a decision for a while, and can only let the facts verify for him.

Thinking of this, Sid looked down at Tony, whose eyes were still closed.Emotionally, he wants to see Tony okay, at least until the arm grows back; but rationally tells him that there is no time to wait - Loki is not dead, Jarvis system has been tampered with, the Avengers are probably in danger...

Could he do nothing but stay with Tony and wait for Tony to wake up?

Also, the beams of Asgard's Rainbow Bridge are so conspicuous, there's no way the Kree didn't know about it.So, if the current problems are not solved, is there a backlog until they erupt at the same time?

Not to mention, there have never been many people with ulterior motives.If the news that he and Tony have a total of three infinite stones is spread, will there be less trouble coming to the door?Ronan, Thanos, Goddess of Death, which one is easy to get along with?

"Your suggestion is right." Sid said after a few seconds of silence. "Leaving Tony in Asgard will give me more peace of mind than taking him to the Atrium."

Thor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The way Sid looked at Tony almost made him think that Sid would reject his proposal! "Then let's take Tony back to the Golden Palace," he quickly continued. "During the time on the road, let Heimdall tell us briefly what happened to the atrium he saw."

Sid nodded in agreement, but added one more point. "Tony's affairs in Asgard must be kept secret. Not only for Tony's own safety, but also for the safety of Asgard as a whole." He and Thor are going to Earth soon, so if Asgard is attacked here what to do

Thor scowled.Odin is still sleeping, Sid's worry is quite reasonable. "I'll make the four warriors more vigilant." He turned his head and looked inside the golden ball. "The Rainbow Bridge should be able to last for a while. Let's try our best to solve it quickly!"

"That's right." Sid said, looking at Tony again, his voice became colder than ever.He's changed his mind - if some people don't want to leave them peace, he will let them know what the word death is!
