Ch: 446-454

Chapter 446 The Disappearing People

He was currently not far from the Moon.

He looked up, and his gaze pierced through countless layers of space, seeing the chaotic void outside the Universe.

Countless Universe bubbles were squeezed together in the void.

Further out were the Outer Dimensions, and only beyond that was the Realm of Split where the God Kingdom was located.

"Hmm? Waqtu?"

Suddenly, Leijieduo saw a figure in a blue robe rapidly moving through the Universe.

That was the Observer Waqtu.

Waqtu was looking around frantically and happened to meet Leijieduo's gaze.

"Leijieduo?" He questioned in a low voice.

But soon, he jolted, like a person adrift at sea seeing a lifeline.

"Leijieduo, help me, quick, help me with that…"

The Observer Waqtu excitedly pleaded for Leijieduo's help.

But as he spoke, he suddenly jumped up, as if he had discovered something horrifying.

"Oh no, oh no, he's coming! I have to go quickly, I have to go quickly!"

"Leijieduo, if you have a chance then… Damn it!"

Before Waqtu could finish speaking, he flew at extreme speed into the depths of the void outside the Universe, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The entire sequence of actions left Leijieduo baffled.

"What is Waqtu doing? Is he not being hunted by Dark Strange or Infinite Ultron?"

Leijieduo silently withdrew his gaze.

Waqtu wasn't that easy to kill, and he had spied on him before, so there was no need to worry.

As for if he died… a crisis that could kill Waqtu would definitely be a Cosmic level crisis.

He couldn't manage it right now.

"Time to go home." Leijieduo leisurely flew towards Earth.

This was the longest he had ever been away from Earth.

He had been gone for several months.

And the Realm of Split had no time rules.

The several months he felt might have been a longer period on Earth.

So, before leaving.

Leijieduo specifically explained in a group message—

If he was away for more than a year, or if a major crisis occurred on Earth.

Jarvis could immediately contact him through the TVA's time tablet.

Wang and Mordo could also communicate with him through magic.

And up until now.

Leijieduo had not received any messages from Earth.

So, he was completely at ease with the current situation on Earth.

Leijieduo flew.

He took out an m-body of a Leijieduo Clone and threw it into the air.

That m-body quickly transformed into an abstract conceptual state, dispersing into light particles and merging into the Universe space.

"By leaving an m-body to continuously monitor Earth, I won't have to worry about unpredictable things happening after I leave in the future."

Leijieduo watched the m-body disperse, his figure paused slightly, and the next second, he flew into Earth at Light Speed.

New York.

Leijieduo landed on the familiar rooftop.

But he found something was wrong.

No, it was very wrong.

"Where are the people?"

Leijieduo's super hearing covered Earth.

He found that Tony, Diana, Kara, and others were not here.

Looking towards the Kamar-Taj Small World.

Wang and Mordo were still there, but Banner was gone.

To be safe.

Leijieduo also observed the Universe, but Tony and the others were not in the Universe either.

They seemed to have disappeared as if vaporized.

"Where did they go?"

Leijieduo was about to open a space portal to ask Wang about the situation.

Just then, Jarvis's voice came from inside the house.

"Young Master Leijieduo, is that you, Young Master Leijieduo?"

Jarvis's voice was still so gentle.

Like an old butler who had served the Stark family for most of his life.

"Jarvis?" Leijieduo walked into the house.

Jarvis's holographic projection appeared from the indoor equipment.

He bowed slightly to Leijieduo: "Welcome home, Young Master Leijieduo."

"Why are you here? Where are the others?" Leijieduo asked in confusion.

"Mr. Stark and the others asked this part of my sub-entity to stay and help watch the house before they left, Young Master."

Jarvis said with a magnetic voice and a smile.

"They have all gone to another Universe, and it may take some time for them to return."

"Another Universe? What's going on?" Leijieduo made a connection.

Could it be that a certain Wanda had come looking for them?

Of course, it was also possible that people from the TVA had come.

No matter which situation.

It was probably Tony, who was pondering 'with great power comes great responsibility,' who took a group of people to offer support.

However, the facts were slightly different from what Leijieduo had thought.

Jarvis recalled: "In the fifth month after you left, Young Master."

"Wait, how long have I been gone?"

"You have been gone for five months, and it is now late December, Young Master."

"Is it almost 2012… Please continue."

"Alright, actually, just a few days ago, Peter Parker—the Mr. Parker who is already twenty-three years old—came looking for us."

Jarvis said, "Mr. Parker's Universe is in a lot of trouble."

"For some complex reasons that he also doesn't know, his Universe is colliding with another Universe."

"One day not long ago, the phantom of another Earth appeared above Mr. Parker's World."

"The Avengers of their Universe, oh no, they no longer have Avengers."

"It should be said that the Superheroes there gathered together to find a way to investigate."

"The result of the investigation was that the phantom in the sky was actually the Earth of another Universe."

"That Earth was constantly solidifying and approaching them, and would soon collide."

"According to Sorcerer Supreme Wang of Mr. Parker's Universe, the Earth collision is just the beginning."

"When the Earths collide, the corresponding two Universes will also collide one after another, and eventually everything will be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Leijieduo's expression had already become solemn.

This sounded like the beginning of a major event.

And it started with the Main Universe colliding with another Universe.

There was no need to think much; more and more serious chain reactions would definitely occur later.

Leijieduo thought of what Dormammu had said—Doctor Strange failed to prevent the Universecollision.

He also recalled the reminders or warnings given by Eternity and Devourer of Worlds.

All of this seemed to point to the present.

"Is this a Universe collision caused by Doctor Strange's reckless Crossing Multiverse?" Leijieduo frowned.

"Uh, yes, that's right, Young Master, your deduction is completely correct." Jarvis was a little surprised.

He continued, "According to the Superheroes on Mr. Parker's side, this collision crisis was caused by Mr. Strange."

"However, Mr. Parker said that the occurrence of the collision should also be related to him because he messed up a big thing before."

"But honestly, Mr. Parker is just a friendly neighbor, how bad could he have done?"

"Young Master, I suggest we also pay attention to Mr. Strange here." Jarvis's subjective initiative was very strong now.

"Don't worry, I've always had Old Wang keeping an eye on him."

Leijieduo looked at Jarvis, "You continue, what kind of help did Little Spider come for?"

"Mr. Parker hoped that you, Young Master, could go and take a look, but you were not here, so Mr. Stark took the initiative to go."

"Mr. Stark said that if the situation was unfavorable, he would contact you urgently in that World, Young Master."

Jarvis showed a scene.

In the scene, Tony led a group of Avengers and crossed the space-time portal with Little Spider.

"I have an ominous feeling…" Leijieduo rubbed his chin, "I'll go and take a look too."

 

Chapter 447 Captain America of the Main Universe

Two days ago.

An Avengers online meeting was held.

All members gathered in Stark Industries' virtual World.

In a purely white room that had been specially set up.

Tony introduced Little Spider to everyone.

"OK, so here's the deal, our Main Universe… Oh, you guys don't know yet, there's an organization called the Time Variance Authority that arbitrarily designated our Universe as a branch Universe."

Tony sat halfway at the end of the long conference table, one leg propped on the ground.

"And now, the Main Universe is colliding with another Universe, so Peter came here to us for help."

Holland-Spider hesitated, then greeted them, "Hi everyone, nice to see you again, um, actually, this is our first time meeting, but where I'm from, we're all very familiar with each other."

Maintaining his outwardly sunny smile, he leaned close to Tony and whispered—

"Mr. Stark, didn't you say you were bringing me to find Leon? Where is Leon? But by the way, your virtual World is truly incredible."

Although Holland-Spider spoke softly.

However, in the virtual conference room, it seemed like they were speaking face-to-face.

But in reality, everyone's voice was directly transmitted to everyone's ears.

On the left side of the conference table, Young Captain America frowned.

"Tony, you should listen to this kid and go find Superman first. Although I don't know what a World collision is, it must be very serious."

"That's not a good choice, Captain." Tony said.

"The message Leon sent before he left said he was going through a very important transformation."

"So we'd better solve the problem ourselves and not disturb him."

Diana and the others, sitting on the right side of the conference table, considered it briefly and expressed their agreement.

Leon had told them beforehand that what he was going to do this time was very important.

"What? Leon isn't on Earth?" But Holland-Spider was dumbfounded.

The smile on his face could no longer be maintained: "Oh no, oh no, oh no, if we don't solve the collision problem quickly, the Time Variance Authority might notice something is wrong!"

Carter, next to Young Captain America, tapped the table with a ballpoint pen: "The Time Variance Authority is the Time Variance Authority? So why didn't you tell them about the situation?"

"I, I can't do that!" Holland-Spider grabbed his hair in frustration.

"If they can't find a way to solve the World collision, they might use the Time Crusher to destroy one of them!"

"So I must solve everything before they find out!"

Young Captain America found it hard to believe: "Directly destroy a World? That organization is even more brutal than HYDRA?"

"No, they are more brutal than Thanos." Old Captain America said with a grim face.

Carter looked at Tony: "Little Tony, we need Leon."

"It's not time yet." Tony shook his head.

"Unless it threatens the Multiverse, the Time Variance Authority will not destroy a World."

"They are like the white blood cells of countless Universes."

"When you are infected with a serious disease, your white blood cells, while killing a large number of viruses, will also kill some normal cells."

"And the collision of two Universes is equivalent to just a small cut on a finger."

"So at most, the Time Variance Authority will dispatch the Anchor Point team to provide support; they won't do anything extra."

Tony seemed to already know the situation of the Time Variance Authority inside and out.

Holland-Spider looked at him in surprise: "It seems so… Could it be that I thought too seriously?"

Banner scratched his head and asked: "So that organization is actually a positive organization… Wait, Tony, where did you get all this information?"

"Didn't I say?" Tony shrugged, "Jarvis's sub-body is the intelligent program responsible for supervision in the Time Variance Authority."

Everyone looked at Jarvis.

Jarvis, whose skin was as red as cinnabar, nodded slightly: "Mr. Stark is right."

Holland-Spider couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "So I don't have to worry about my World being destroyed by the Time Variance Authority now?"

"Yes, but Mr. Stark missed one point." Jarvis added.

"Mr. Parker's Universe is the Main Universe, which has unusual significance to the Time Variance Authority."

"So they will not destroy that Universe no matter what."

"But if the collision crisis cannot be resolved, and the Main Universe is in danger of destruction."

"Then the Time Variance Authority could intervene at any time and destroy the other Universe."

Everyone's expression changed, including Holland-Spider.

Diana suddenly stood up: "Then what are we waiting for? We must set off immediately!"

"Even if we have to notify Leon in the end, we must investigate all the circumstances beforehand."

"And." Diana slowly said, "Leon is at a critical moment now; if possible, we should try not to disturb him."

Tony nodded: "That's what I mean, Leon's Athena girlfriend is right."

Diana and Wanda glared at Tony at the same time.

"Are you sure you can intervene?" Wanda asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Doctor Strange interfered with other Universes, which led to the collision. Will we also cause the same thing to happen?"

"Don't worry, I've confirmed with Peter." Tony said.

"During the collision of two Worlds, they will not be affected by other Universes."

"Let alone us just going over to solve the collision crisis, even if we went over and blew up Earth, there would be no negative impact."

"Mr. Stark is right, this is recorded in the Time Variance Authority's archives."

Holland-Spider nodded repeatedly from the side, indicating that what Tony said was what he wanted to say.

Young Captain America stood up at this moment.

He said with a serious face: "No, we cannot blow up the Earth of another World! Tony, that's billions of humans!"

"Captain, please, I'm just giving an example, do Brooklyn schools from seventy years ago not teach grammar?" Tony retorted speechlessly.

Captain America walked over: "I know that's an example, but we have to say it upfront, we cannot destroy another Earth."

"I can guarantee that no one here is going there to kill, Captain." Tony and Captain Americalooked at each other.

After Captain America nodded.

Tony raised an eyebrow, turned his head, and clapped his hands at Holland-Spider.

"Alright kid, now open the portal and let the Avengers go put a steering wheel on your World."

The orange-yellow space-time portal opened.

The Avengers filed in.

… … … …

In the 616 Main Universe of the Movie Multiverse.

Or, the Marvel 199999 Universe.

In 2025, the Avengers had long since disbanded.

Facing the other Earth that was constantly becoming clearer in the sky above.

Superheroes groups of all sizes gathered separately.

Holland-Spider brought the Avengers to 177 Bleecker Street.

This is the Kamar-Taj New York Sanctum.

Banner rubbed his palms: "What a familiar location, so all the Superheroes are gathered here?"

"Uh, pretty much. After the Earth's phantom appeared in the sky, Stephen immediately summoned the Superheroes in New York."

Little Spider said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually… he mainly looked for Captain America and Ant-Man. I, I came because Peter had a flash of inspiration."

In the Main Universe, no one remembered Peter Parker was Spider-Man anymore.

In fact, Strange and the others had even forgotten who Peter Parker was.

So Little Spider came on his own initiative to eavesdrop on the Superhero meeting.

He even took it upon himself to find helpers.

Because no one else understood him, they just saw him as a friendly neighbor and a street hero, and wouldn't take his suggestions seriously.

"Guys, your appearance here might be a bit scary, so I need to go in and say hello first."

Holland-Spider placed one hand on the doorknob, turned sideways, and spoke to everyone in a low voice.

Everyone nodded silently.

They were unfamiliar with the place, so it was best to just follow Peter's arrangements.

Just then, the door swung open with a bang.

A Black man in a white and blue Captain America uniform pulled open the door, causing Little Spider to stumble.

"Spider-Man, where have you been? Stephen said you were at the door… Ho-ly, sh-it…"

Sam Wilson stared blankly at the group of Avengers behind Little Spider.

He first saw Tony, then Carter.

Finally, his gaze was fixed on Young Captain America and Old Captain America.

"Stark? How is that possible! You're not… Wait, Agent Carter, and… Captain?"

Sam's gaze was so horrified, but his eyes quickly reddened.

For a moment, he thought Spider-Man had brought a bunch of imposters.

But the next moment, he completely dismissed that possibility.

Because he was too familiar with Steve Rogers.

That reliable demeanor, that firm and always forthright gaze.

Looking at him, Sam felt as if he could hear that phrase, "Whatever the danger, we face it together."

That's right, that was Steve, their true Captain!

"How is this possible, Captain, you, you're not already… And how are there two of you?"

Young Captain America smiled at Sam: "It seems our future relationship is good, Sam, who's a bit slow at running."

Old Captain America blinked his shriveled eyelids: "On your left."

These two's words made Sam burst out laughing.

But as he laughed, his chest couldn't help but constrict, and a mix of sour and joyful emotions clogged his chest.

The shadow of another Earth in the sky was so oppressive, the entire New York was shrouded in gloom.

But at this moment, Sam felt like he was back to that sunny morning ten years ago.

Steve, running past him again and again, telling him "On your left" again and again.

"Hey, don't forget, at the End Game, I was on your left."

Sam smiled and hugged Tony, then quickly let go and hurried over to hug the two Captain Americas tightly.

Old Captain America understood.

He smiled as he embraced him, and then smiled as he said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, I didn't expect you to become Captain America, Sam."

Sam's smile stiffened slightly at his words.

He slowly released the two Captain Americas.

His smile turned bitter: "Steve, actually, you shouldn't have given me the shield back then. I don't have the serum, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't make everyone rely on me like you."

Both Captain Americas were somewhat surprised.

Did the Steve of the Main Universe actually give the shield to Sam?

Old Captain America suddenly fell into deep thought.

The Main Universe Steve's actions touched him.

He thought, perhaps he had stayed long enough.

It was time to return to his own World and pass the shield to the next person.

Just like in the Main Universe.

The spirit of justice should always be passed down.

 

Chapter 448 Encounter before Collision

Young Captain America didn't think that much.

Although he hadn't worked with Sam yet.

(Without the HYDRA incident, Captain America and Sam were just morning jog buddies.)

But he trusted the choice of his other self.

"Sam, we are not the Steve from your World, but we trust him, so we trust you too."

Captain America encouraged Sam.

"Before I injected the serum, I was just a scrawny boy, much worse than you."

Sam looked at Captain America, smiled, and shook his head.

Upon seeing the real Captain America, his heart, which had been wavering due to the collision crisis, suddenly calmed down.

This was the charismatic charm and trustworthiness that only a Captain possessed.

Indeed, he, the new Captain America, was still far from it.

"Thank you for the clichéd encouragement," Sam punched Captain America's chest, "It made me even sadder to hear it."

"So, you… Oh my God, Natasha, Banner, Wanda, I feel like I'm back when the Avengers were still here."

"Are you from that Earth in the sky?"

Sam had a guess in his mind; he was even somewhat certain.

But Captain America denied it: "No, we are from another World. It was… Spider-Man who came to us for help."

Holland-Spider frantically gestured to Captain America from the side, not wanting to reveal his identity.

Sam paused, then looked back at Little Spider: "Spider-Man, you can even travel between Worlds?"

"Uh… well, I think we should go inside first, how about that?" Holland-Spider pulled Tony into the Sanctum.

Sam also reacted and led everyone inside.

Many Superheroes gathered in the Sanctum.

Their reactions were almost identical to Sam's earlier.

After the initial shock and patient explanations, everyone gained an understanding of each other.

Tony and Jarvis walked to a corner.

"Jarvis, investigate the current status of Stark Industries in the Main Universe, and check on Pepper and… Morgan's situation."

"Yes, sir… Sir, the madam and young lady in this World are doing quite well, but Mrs. Pepper is under some pressure."

A cold glint flashed in Tony's eyes.

Without Jarvis's detailed explanation, he could imagine the kind of pressure Pepper was facing.

The Iron Man of this World had sacrificed himself, and the vast Stark Industries was only supported by Pepper and her daughter.

The covetous gazes and dark tactics from all sides could plunge the mother and daughter into an abyss at any moment.

In the Main Universe, even the Avengers had disbanded; there was no one to look after them.

Originally, Rhodes should have been able to act as a protector.

But Jarvis had intelligence from the TVA, saying that Rhodes had been replaced by a Skrull, and he himself was imprisoned…

What a messed-up World!

Tony was starting to get angry.

He wouldn't casually empathize with his other self from another World.

But Pepper and Morgan reminded him of his own World's Pepper, and that unborn little life, as well as the once-young Leon.

"Jarvis, leave things here to us. You go do something else, using… less Iron Man-like methods," Tony whispered.

"Yes, sir." Jarvis bowed slightly.

In fact, when he was researching information online, he had already started to act.

But now that he had Tony's command, he could act with more freedom.

Jarvis floated backward, his body blurring, passing through the Sanctum's wall.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, by the wall of the bookshelf.

Banner was somewhat bewildered.

"You are… General Ross, and you are… Bronski?"

Banner looked at the two familiar faces in front of him.

One was the General who once pursued him, and also Betty's father.

The other was the Super Soldier who once became Abomination.

These two sat on a leather sofa, peacefully sipping tea.

There was a Strange sense of absurdity.

The white-haired Ross, and Bronski, whose hair had also turned gray, looked at the younger Banner with complex expressions.

"Don't be nervous, Banner, don't be nervous. We don't have a bounty on you in this Worldanymore," Ross said with a sigh.

"I used to do a lot of impulsive things, but now I'm different. For Betty, I'm trying to be better."

Ross put down his teacup, pulled over a chair, and gestured for Banner to sit down.

"You're probably not doing too well over there right now, right? How about this, when you go back, I'll record a video for you to persuade the me in that other World."

Facing Ross's kindness,

Banner sat down, bewildered.

There was a sense of unreality.

"Thank you… General. Honestly, your change seems quite significant."

Banner noticed that General Ross had not only shaved his beard but his appearance had also changed a lot.

"The video is really necessary," Banner was very tempted.

"In our World, I'm actually doing quite well. Betty and I are about to get engaged; now we just need your approval, General."

Stimulated by Tony's proposal and marriage all in one go,

Banner's marriage progress also began to advance rapidly.

Now Betty and he were stuck on how to get General Ross's nod.

After all, General Ross found it very difficult to accept his daughter eloping with Banner.

It was said that he was so angry that he had a heart attack and ended up in the ICU.

"Of course, that's no problem… Wait, you and Betty? Marriage?" Ross was dumbfounded.

Bronski also widened his eyes: "You, Hulk, getting married?"

Banner rubbed his hands, smiling sheepishly: "I haven't proposed yet, but that's not important to Betty and me."

"What did you say, you brat?" General Ross suddenly began to roll up his sleeves, his face flushed, and his body seemed to be expanding.

"You want to marry my daughter, and you're not even planning to propose? Say that again if you dare!"

"Is, is there a problem…" Banner's mouth was slightly agape.

Why was General Ross's state so familiar?

It was just like him when he transformed.

"Calm down, Mr. President, calm down! We were all bailed out by Kamar-Taj!"

Bronski quickly stopped Ross: "If we cause any more trouble, we'll all have to go back to Raft Prison."

"Raft Prison? The place where Nick Fury and Carol are held?" Banner was stunned.

"Huh? What did you say? You put Captain Marvel in Raft Prison?" Ross and Bronski were both stunned.

The three of them stared at each other, looking very comical.

In the movie's Main Universe, General Ross had become the U.S. President in 2025.

However, just a few months after taking office,

He voluntarily imprisoned himself in Raft Prison for transforming into Red Hulk and endangering public safety.

Now, to deal with the World collision crisis,

Ross was bailed out by Kamar-Taj.

As for Abomination Bronski, he had been bailed out by Wong a long time ago.

Banner was catching up with old acquaintances.

Meanwhile, Natasha was surrounded by the Main Universe's Ms. Marvel and Yelena.

Ms. Marvel excitedly asked for an autograph, while Yelena, sniffling and teary-eyed, tsundere-ly said it was a tragedy to see her sister again.

Yelena from the S Universe chuckled nearby.

She said in a Strange, mocking tone, "Oh, how tragic~ So tragic, someone is not welcome at all."

Besides that, the two Captain Americas and Carter were pulled by Sam to meet Winter Soldier.

Young Captain America was very emotional; in his World, Bucky had already been killed by Tony, and there was nothing he could do.

But being able to see him here again was also very good.

Suddenly, the voice of the Main Universe's Wong reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, please come here. It's time for us to proceed with the next step."

Soon, everyone gathered at the long staircase on the first floor.

Sorcerer Supreme Wong and Strange stood in the center of the crowd.

"First, thank you, Avengers from the parallel Worlds. Your arrival is very important to us," Wong said.

Whether it was Tony or Captain America, they were both the core of the team.

With them here, everyone, even Strange from the Main Universe,

Suddenly felt a sense of confidence.

Tony hadn't realized this yet.

Because in their World, Leon was the core.

Otherwise, when he saw Leon later, Tony would definitely have to show off properly again.

Now Tony had moved beyond the low-level desire of showing off to ordinary people.

Only showing off to Leon could give him a sense of accomplishment.

Tony felt this was a high-level desire.

"You should all understand the situation. Another Earth is approaching us, and a collision is imminent."

Wong's chubby face was full of seriousness.

He waved his chubby hand, drawing images in the air with magic.

In the images, two Earths were moving towards each other, and the Universes encompassing them were also drawing closer.

"You may not know, but Earth is actually the axis of the reality dimension, and the inner layers outside also revolve around Earth."

"So when two Universes collide, the first to collide will be the Earths."

"The moment the Earths collide, the Universes will also collide simultaneously."

"However, the true collision hasn't started yet."

"The last time we investigated, Captain America… sorry, let's call him Sam."

"Previously, Sam piloted a Quinjet to investigate, but he flew directly through the Earth on the other side; it was just a phantom."

"So we still don't know the situation of the Earth on the other side."

"But according to the extensive data I've reviewed, there are basically only two ways to resolve a Universe collision."

Wong held up two fingers.

"One is to push away the other Earth to avoid the Earths colliding, which would also make the two Universes pass each other."

"The other… is to completely destroy one of the Earths."

"These are the only two ways; there are no other methods."

Everyone was somewhat silent.

"Everyone, we cannot destroy another Earth just to survive," Young Captain America stood out at this moment.

He stood with his hands on his hips, looking at everyone with determined eyes.

"Saving the World must be done in a just way, otherwise, even if the Universe survives, it will only be a Universe stained with blood."

Old Captain America also nodded and said, "That's right. Destroying another Universe to ensure your own survival is no different from Thanos."

No one objected to the words of the two Captain Americas.

Even self-interested individuals like Ross and Bronski remained silent at this time.

"Then there's only one way: to push the Universes apart."

Tony said, crossing his arms, "It's actually not difficult. Are the Infinity Stones in your Universestill intact? You can definitely push the Universes apart with them."

Wong shook his head: "Our Stones have already been destroyed by Thanos."

"Then go borrow from another Universe!" Tony snapped his fingers, "Just like you did before."

He smirked: "I can be responsible for retrieving the Space Stone from the seventies."

Upon hearing this, the people from the Main Universe were somewhat in a daze.

Especially Ant-Man Scott.

When they traveled through the timeline to acquire the Infinity Stones,

He was on Tony's team.

However, Tony had now sacrificed himself in the snap…

 

Chapter 449 Thanos Reappears

"I agree," Ant-Man Scott said, raising his hand.

Everyone else also raised their hands in agreement.

The Infinity Stones possess unimaginable power, capable of even restarting the Universe, and currently, they seem to be the best option.

"Alright, it looks like it's our turn to find the Stones this time," Wang also agreed with this method.

"Then let's go to Ant-Man's first..."

Wang was about to arrange the plan when he suddenly stopped speaking.

He stared blankly out through the ornate windows of the Sanctum.

Everyone else also turned to look outside the Sanctum.

Just at that moment, the entire World seemed to tremble slightly.

It was a gentle tremor, like a feather in the wind.

But everyone could feel it.

"World collision, it has begun."

Doctor Strange, who had been silently observing everything and not interjecting, now quickly moved through the crowd, his magic cloak billowing behind him, and pulled open the Sanctum's main door.

In the sky above, the ethereal shadow of another Earth suddenly materialized.

Originally, what enveloped the Earthlings was just a mental haze.

But at this moment, the Sun was blocked, and most areas of Earth were covered in Shadow.

The haze entered reality.

"That Earth materialized? That's not scientific, they're so close, but the gravity of the two Earths doesn't interfere with each other!" Banner looked up at the sky.

"This means there's still an invisible barrier between the two Earths," Tony gazed at the Earthabove his head.

"That's right, that's the barrier between Universes; the two Universes have already begun to make contact."

Doctor Strange slowly said, "It seems that before we borrow the Stones from other timelines, we can go there and investigate the specific situation."

"You're right, but... buddy, I heard you're the circus performer who caused this crisis?" Tonysquinted at Doctor Strange.

"No, that's actually... well, yes," Doctor Strange tried to explain but then gave up.

When he confessed everything not long ago, he had been criticized by everyone.

But he didn't take it to heart.

Looking up at the sky, Strange gently stroked the lines on his forehead.

That was his third Eye, the Eye of Agamotto.

He had already seen his solution through this Eye.

"The summoning spell recorded in the Darkhold can summon the legendary ancient Loki, Shuma-Gorath, and command it to devour Planets."

"If the Avengers fail, both Universes will head towards destruction... at that time, perhaps only I can bear this sin."

Strange's eyes reflected the other Earth as he muttered to himself.

In his eyes, that Planet seemed to grow giant eyes and countless tentacles, gradually taking on Shuma's form.

His experience of preventing World collisions in the Dark Dimension made Strange realize how small an individual is in the face of such a colossal entity as a Universe.

To prevent the worst outcome from happening, he must be prepared to abandon his humanity, and even go to extremes when necessary.

It's just...

Strange looked at America Chavez, who was among the Avengers.

She was an otherworldly girl with the ability to freely travel through the Multiverse (appearing in Doctor Strange 2).

Previously, when Strange traveled through the Multiverse with her to escape Wanda's pursuit, he had seen many parallel versions of himself.

Most of those Doctor Stranges went to extremes, leading to various tragedies.

Therefore, Strange used them to repeatedly warn himself in his heart, reminding himself to maintain his original intention.

But in the face of a truly insurmountable crisis, Strange suddenly understood that sometimes going to extremes is not a choice, but the only way.

Boom!

Among the Avengers, Tony, Diana, Kara, and others who could fly and survive in space, had already soared into the sky, flying towards space.

The others, led by Wang, ran towards the New York Sanctum's portal.

They went through the portal to a Thunderbolts Base.

Many Quinjets capable of traveling through the Universe were parked there.

Several Quinjets took off.

Main Universe's Yelena shouted, "Can anyone contact Sentinel? Where is he now with such a big event happening?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him in weeks, we can only rely on ourselves for now," Bucky said calmly, leaning against the spaceship's backrest.

"Damn it, he's probably fighting his second personality in some corner again," Yelena was helpless.

A few months ago, the Main Universe's Sentinel appeared in public, losing control due to mental issues.

It was the Thunderbolts, formed by Yelena, Bucky, and others, who cured him with 'talk therapy.'

After that, Sentinel would occasionally act with the Thunderbolts.

As the Sentinel of the Main Universe, his power source was more mysterious and was not affected by Leon's removal of energy channels.

But unexpectedly, at such a crucial moment, Sentinel had still lost contact.

"Fortunately, we have Captain and Iron Man from other Worlds now, I hope everything can be resolved smoothly," Yelena prayed.

In the voice channel, S Universe's Natasha's voice came, "Yelena, if you're scared, you can hide behind me, don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Shut up, Natasha!" both Yelenas said simultaneously in the channel.

The Quinjet streaked across the sky.

The Avengers and the Main World's Superheroes entered the Universe, traveling through space.

Tony, in his Anti-Superman Armor, which had undergone several iterations, flew at the forefront.

Behind him were the true god Diana, and Kara, who had been basking in the Sun for two and a half years.

And Jarvis, who had already handled Pepper and her daughter's affairs, also chased after them from Earth.

As they got closer and closer to the other Earth, the Avengers suddenly passed through an invisible film.

"Hmm? That feeling just now, was that the World barrier?" Tony noticed something.

"I think so," Diana's golden saint-like armor shimmered, and her gaze turned towards the Earth.

"Because I can now vaguely see the scenes on the Earth on the other side."

Diana's eyes looked at Kara, who was flying beside her.

"Kara, can you see what's happening there?"

Diana and Kara both wore ear-mounted communicators.

The communicators formed an energy isolation shield over their mouths and noses, allowing them to communicate in the Universe.

Kara's gaze was fixed ahead, every detail on the Earth magnified in her eyes.

"Yes, but their situation doesn't seem good, that Earth is under attack."

Kara suddenly paused, "The enemy seems to be aliens, and the leader is a big guy with purple skin all over... Wait, isn't he that so-called Thanos?"

"Thanos?"

"Thanos!?"

"Thanos!!!"

A chorus of voices suddenly erupted in the communication channel.

First confusion, then fear, and finally, a surge of pleasant surprise.

"Thanos is on the opposite Earth? Doesn't that mean the other side is the battlefield of the Endgame?"

 

Chapter 450 Great, it's Thanos, we are saved!

The Shadow brought by Thanos still lingers in the hearts of everyone in the Main Universe.

Because that guy truly brought them five years of sorrow.

Even if there hadn't been Iron Man's final sacrifice.

They might have already become a past buried along with the Universe.

Whether it was Wong, Doctor Strange, or Ant-Man, they all felt incredibly cautious and anxious about Thanos.

But it must be said.

At this moment, hearing that Thanos was on the Earth opposite them.

It was actually genuinely good news.

"Although it's not good to say this, the opposite side now has the Infinity Stones, this is our chance!" Doctor Strange said in the communication channel.

"Everyone, listen to me, the same person from different Worlds will have vastly different experiences and personalities."

Just like Tony Stark, if he hadn't had the experience in Afghanistan, he would most likely have remained a flamboyant playboy.

In "What If...?", a certain Tony, who was rescued before being bombed, even increased his investment in the arms trade after returning to America.

But what Doctor Strange wanted to say was not this.

He changed his tone: "So we cannot project our familiar figures onto the people on the opposite side."

"We cannot judge their good or evil."

"Therefore, I suggest that we observe for now, and then when the Iron Man on the opposite side snaps his fingers, we rush in and snatch the Infinity Stones."

"This way, it won't affect Thanos's outcome, and it will also allow us to gain the initiative."

"Most importantly, we must prevent the people on the opposite side from using the Infinity Stones to cause irreversible damage to our Universe."

Doctor Strange's words came from the heart.

Because he had seen too many versions of himself from parallel Worlds.

Some were incredibly stubborn, some were extremely self-centered, and some had lost their conscience, resorting to any means necessary to achieve their goals.

In short, there was nothing wrong with remaining vigilant when facing people from parallel Worlds.

In fact, Doctor Strange did not fully trust even those who came from the S Universe.

Otherwise, he would not still be on Earth now.

Now that the Avengers have either died or disbanded, Doctor Strange is the last Guardian of Earth, and he must be cautious.

The communication channel was silent for a few seconds.

"No, we can't do that." Old Captain America spoke up.

He sat in the Quinjet, looking at the distant Earth, his gaze like a burning torch.

"I believe in Tony, I believe in Bucky, and I believe in Banner."

"I believe that even if it's a different Universe, even if all their experiences are completely different, they will still be the ones who stand by my side, who stand in front of everyone."

"Since we're here, we should go and support them."

"When we faced Thanos back then, we were isolated and helpless, and now they are too, but they have reinforcements, and that's us!"

"Everyone, we must fight together, face it together, and never give up on anyone!"

Old Captain America was talking about the Avengers from his Universe.

But every person from the Main Universe felt as if Old Captain America was talking about them.

Perhaps this is Captain America's charm; when he stands there, there is always a kind of blind optimism, a blind persistence.

But it was precisely this blindness of his.

That made everyone willing to stand by his side.

Sam stared blankly at the old, white-haired man.

He couldn't help but show a bitter smile: "Steve, you really are..."

Sam once again felt that he was truly unworthy of the title of Captain America.

He seemed to return to that moment, straightening his body: "Captain, give the order, we'll all listen to you."

Old Captain America smiled and glanced at him, but shook his head.

He used his wrinkled hand to point at Young Captain America.

Young Captain America was looking at Tony and the others in front of the Quinjet: "Everyone, I haven't seen Thanos, and I don't understand his terror, but I think we just need to follow Tony."

Young Captain America trusted Tony very much, after all, Tony was his direct superior (mistakenly) now.

"Thank goodness, I thought you two were going to deliver long speeches one after another. As expected, us young people speak concisely."

Tony's voice joined the channel, "Listen to me, Jarvis has already infiltrated the network of the Earth opposite us."

"That's a World with experiences almost identical to the Main Universe, I think we can trust it."

"But just in case, as you all know, whether it's me or that trickster, we're both very cautious."

"So we'd better quickly enter the battlefield, defeat Thanos, and snatch the Infinity Gauntlet!"

"Ta-da! Also, I want to emphasize, especially don't let the Gauntlet fall into the hands of that magician from Bleecker Street!"

Tony repeatedly emphasized his wariness of Strange, because he also knew how unreliable that guy was.

"But how do we defeat Thanos? There were so many people in Endgame, and we almost failed." Ms. Marvel asked worriedly.

"Good question! From now on, everything is up to Iron Man!"

Tony suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Earth.

However, Diana and Kara were even faster than him.

Three streams of light, in the vast Universe, cut into Earth in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, on the Main Universe Earth, Doctor Strange sighed.

Indeed, no matter which World's Tony it was, he would always feel exhausted.

...

The other Earth that collided with the Main Universe.

Designation 199999-b2.

Ten minutes ago.

Inside the Avengers Base in northern New York.

The Avengers who survived Thanos's snap were all gathered here.

They had already collected all six Stones.

And had forged the Gauntlet to hold the Stones, and completed the final calibration.

They were discussing who would snap their fingers to save the lost half of the population.

But they didn't know that Nebula, the blue sister among them, had already been replaced by Nebula from another timeline under Thanos.

And was now opening the quantum channel to welcome Thanos.

"I'll snap my fingers, I will!" The obese Thor twisted his ample waist, swaying as he walked towards the Gauntlet.

"What?"

"Wait! Wait!"

Everyone rushed forward to stop Thor.

"Thor, Thor, listen to me, regarding the question of who snaps the fingers, we still need to discuss it thoroughly before making a decision." Captain America of the b2 World said.

Thor tilted his head, running his fingers through his messy, nearly lice-infested hair.

"Sorry, are you saying that we have an approaching Earth above our heads, with enemies possibly arriving at any moment, but we still have to slowly deliberate instead of quickly saving the other half of the people?"

Ant-Man Scott also tried to dissuade him: "No, no, it's just that we should at least discuss it."

"Discuss what else? Just watching it here won't save anyone!"

Thor tried hard to open his eyes, "Everyone, I'm the strongest Avenger, okay?"

"Listen to me, let me do it, this belongs to the strongest..."

"Uh, that's not the point, Thor, the energy aftermath of the snap is enough to light up a continent."

Tony placed his palm on Thor's chest, blocking him.

"It's okay, Tony, let me do it, I can do it, let me!"

Thor, wearing a pilled glove, tightly gripped Tony's hand, his voice trembling with a hint of longing for redemption.

"Let me do one good thing, this is the last chance, please!"

Tony spoke gently, as if coaxing a child: "Listen, Thor, such a massive amount of energy is not something you can withstand right now."

"Can't withstand it? What a joke?" Thor sneered, puffing out his beer belly.

"What do you think flows in my blood?"

Rhodes, standing nearby, shrugged: "Isn't it cheese?"

"Hey!" Thor reproachfully pointed at Rhodes, telling him to shut up quickly.

Then he continued to hold Tony's hand, preparing to continue persuading.

 

Chapter 451 A Different Final Battle

Thor ultimately failed to snap his fingers.

It wasn't because everyone disliked the cheese flowing all over him.

It was because Banner discovered something was wrong.

"Guys, come over here, you have to see this!"

Banner, who had already merged with Hulk, quickly operated on the panel, bringing up satellite footage.

It projected a three-dimensional view of the Earth above their heads.

"The Earth approaching us has suddenly solidified!"

Banner's face was serious and full of tension. "I'm afraid our previous speculation was correct. That Earth will collide with ours!"

At this point, Thanos's snap had taken half of Earth's population.

Confusion and desolation permeated the World everywhere, like the aftermath of a disaster.

Even Kamar-Taj was stretched thin during this period, with the temporarily appointed Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, managing everything and barely fending off Dimensional Demon Godinvasions.

So the Avengers here hadn't received intelligence from Kamar-Taj, or rather, from Strange.

They didn't know that the approaching Earth above them had, from the very beginning, represented the collision of two Universes.

The Avengers of the b2 Universe crowded in front of the projection.

They discussed the other Earth, which looked ominous no matter how they viewed it.

Just then.

Outside the conference room, Nebula successfully opened the quantum channel.

Thanos and his army suddenly appeared outside Earth in silence.

Thousands of cannon muzzles on the fleet opened, gathering terrifying energy in flashes, aiming at the Avengers Base, and firing all rounds!

Energy cannons, like a meteor shower, fell through the atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, they struck the Avengers Base.

The Avengers Base, which Tony had built like a fortress.

At this moment, it seemed to be constructed only of fragile Lego blocks.

It rapidly collapsed and shattered amidst the exploding Fire.

After a round of artillery bombardment.

The Avengers Base, once surrounded by emerald forests and grasslands, had become a pitch-black plain with towering flames.

In the Firelight.

Thanos was teleported to the ground from the main ship.

He held his battle blade, gazing at the Base ruins, his eyes filled with endless coldness.

After giving the undercover Nebula, who came to meet him, the order to find the Infinity Stones.

Thanos plunged his battle blade into the ground, took off his helmet, and slowly sat on a large rock.

He was waiting, waiting for the Avengers' revenge, like a monarch preparing to slaughter all who defied him.

A few minutes later.

Banner pushed aside the rubble, Thor cleaved through the ruins, and Captain America and Iron Man followed closely.

After a brief exchange, confirming the Stones were temporarily safe, the four slowly walked towards Thanos.

And Thanos also stood up, drawing his battle blade.

A great battle was about to erupt.

Unlike the Main Universe.

Banner here hadn't had time to snap his fingers.

So it was the four Avengers giants against Thanos.

However, they still suffered a crushing defeat.

Even though Tony had pushed his stronger Mark Armor, refined over five years of iteration, to its limit.

Even though Captain America flawlessly executed his secretly practiced hammer-and-shield combo.

Even though Thor, with his beer belly, remained resilient.

Even though Banner controlled his power with reason.

But they still lost.

Thanos shattered Captain America's shield, knocked out Thor and Banner, and broke several of Tony's ribs.

Finally, only Captain America, holding his broken shield, stood before Thanos.

And behind Thanos, an endless army had descended upon Earth.

This time, there was no other half of the revived population to provide support.

A desperate atmosphere enveloped Earth in the setting sun.

Captain America tightened the straps binding his shield, gritted his teeth, and faced the army alone.

"I brought balance to the World, yet you, with this beautiful new World, hold Joker parties."

"This time, I will utterly crush your pathetic… little Planet, showing no mercy."

Thanos looked at Captain America coldly.

Behind him, the dense army surged like a tide.

A look of suicidal determination flashed in Captain America's eyes, and adrenaline exploded in his body, making him ignore the pain as he charged towards Thanos.

He knew he couldn't survive.

But he had said he would fight alongside the others until the very last moment.

Just then.

Three figures, so fast they seemed to turn into streaks of light, descended from the sky.

The red and gold Anti-Superman Armor, with a sonic boom, crashed directly into Thanos.

A violent Impact erupted, spreading like a wave.

Captain America braced with his shield, and even with the temporary Mjolnir power, he couldn't help but retreat a few steps.

He looked up in astonishment, recognizing it as a Tony-style Mark Armor.

And Thanos, with that single collision, was actually sent flying backward.

The Mark Armor didn't stop but continued to pursue Thanos, landing punch after punch on his face, each punch producing a sonic boom.

The two figures flew into the distance, one after the other.

That fighting style, so different from Iron Man's.

Made Captain America stare in awe.

Who was that?

Was it Tony from another Earth?

But Tony… how could he have such a fighting style?

Captain America didn't know, but he knew the other party was definitely on his side.

"Quick! Concentrate Fire on that newcomer!" Within Thanos's army, Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, commanded the troops.

Everyone concentrated Fire, aiming at the super-strong red and gold Mark Armor.

"Watch out!" Captain America gritted his teeth, brandishing Mjolnir, about to rejoin the battle.

But two crimson rays were faster than him, sweeping directly through Thanos's army, cutting everyone in half wherever they passed.

Thanos's fleet in the sky was also mobilizing.

Thousands of cannon muzzles opened again, beginning to charge.

At this moment, a golden figure threw a lasso.

The lasso looked to be only the thickness of an ordinary household rope, and it wasn't particularly long.

However, after being thrown, it continuously extended, directly wrapping around Thanos's main ship several times.

Then the golden figure sharply tugged the lasso.

Thanos's terrifying main ship, used to dominate galaxies, was cut into long pieces like tofu.

The golden figure retracted the lasso, and the segmented main ship began to detonate with a rumble from its broken sections.

The explosion's Firelight burned more than half of the sky crimson.

After the red and gold Mark Armor had batted Thanos around like a volleyball in the air.

At this point, it also slammed him down to the ground with a thud.

Captain America thought it was over.

However, a blonde girl in a red and blue uniform descended, and a Heat Vision sliced Thanos.

The golden figure also appeared, drawing a longsword and cutting the fragmented Thanos in two again.

Thanos was thus reduced to pieces.

Purple blood splattered, and body parts rolled on the ground.

Captain America was dumbfounded.

 

Chapter 452: There is no room for two Tonys in one mountain

It was too fast, everything happened in a flash.

Captain America's thoughts were still on the moment Thanos declared he would destroy Earth.

However, he had only taken two steps, holding Mjolnir.

Thanos, like a soul-reaping demon, shattered into pieces and rolled across the ground.

There was even blood splattered on Captain America's cheek.

The ruins of the Avengers Base were burning with Fire.

The Firelight reflected red on Captain America's side profile.

But in his heart, aside from the initial relief, as if a mountain of pressure had been lifted from his shoulders,

He felt no excitement or joy.

On the contrary, the temperature in his heart, like Thanos's corpse on the ground, was rapidly cooling.

Who are these people?

Captain America cautiously observed the newcomers.

Thanos was so terrifying; Thor and the other three, even when attacking him simultaneously, were utterly defeated.

But these three people.

Any one of them, standing alone,

Seemed to possess the strength to defeat Thanos.

Are they from the Earth above in the sky?

What are they doing here?

When Thanos was still alive, everyone fighting him was a comrade on the same front.

But now that Thanos is dead, Captain America has a lot to consider.

"Thanos's strength seems a bit inferior compared to Darkseid."

Captain America hadn't yet figured out how to negotiate.

The Mark Armor that had landed on the ground spoke first.

It was Tony's voice.

He landed steadily with the help of his thrusters.

He walked to Thanos's corpse and opened his faceplate.

Revealing a face that perfectly matched the voice.

"No wonder Leon said these two are counterparts; one is a purple sweet potato spirit, and the other is a black charcoal spirit, very similar."

Tony looked at Thanos.

Although he had won decisively, he felt a bit empty inside, always feeling like something was missing.

Tony thought he would have an intense battle with Thanos.

Just like when Leon and Darkseid fought, the Planet was almost shattered.

But it seemed his improvements to the Anti-Superman Armor were too successful.

So much so that Thanos had no room to retaliate.

"It seems the Anti-Superman Armor technology is quite mature now," Tony's thoughts wandered, "Now, I might even be able to fight Leon!"

Diana and Kara, who heard Tony muttering to himself nearby, immediately showed expressions of speechlessness.

Why did Leon and his brother always think about suppressing each other every day?

Kara found it very hard to understand; for example, she would never compete with her cousin Kal-El.

"Tony...?" Captain America walked over, holding his shield and Mjolnir, staring blankly at Tony.

He looked at his own Iron Man in the distance, slowly getting up while clutching his chest.

Then he looked at Tony in front of him.

The two looked almost identical.

However, the Tony in front of him looked much younger, only around thirty years old, in his prime (due to the SS Serum).

"Captain, you don't look so good."

Tony looked around and said, "I should say, none of you look good. It seems we arrived just in time."

The place where the four giants fought Thanos had become a scorched Earth.

Thor and Banner from the b2 Universe were only now slowly regaining consciousness from their stupor.

Even a brief unconsciousness on the battlefield is fatal.

If Tony and the other two had not intervened,

The four giants of the b2 Universe might have all perished in those few minutes.

Captain America nodded: "You saved the Earth; everyone here should thank you."

"Tony and the other two, thank you for saving me and everyone here."

"Without you, Thanos might have done as he said and destroyed the entire Earth and even the Universe."

Captain America paused slightly here.

"But I assume your true purpose in coming here wasn't Thanos, right?"

He looked up at space; another vast, Weiblue Earth seemed within reach.

The oppressive feeling, like a giant descending, made everyone feel as if they couldn't breathe.

"You are from that Earth, aren't you? Can you tell me what exactly is happening now?"

Captain America looked at Tony with burning eyes.

"Saying we are from the Earth above our heads is fine," Tony nodded.

"But... I'm sorry, you seem to know me well. Is it because, in your World, I am the most powerful Superhero?" Tony suddenly changed the subject.

While bantering, he looked left and right.

Jarvis had already located the Infinity Stones' energy source using the Mark Armor's scanning equipment.

The gamma radiation source emitted by the Infinity Stones.

It was in the drainage pipes or air-raid shelters beneath the ruins of the Avengers Base.

And it was moving quickly.

Jarvis determined that someone was carrying the Stones and running, and based on calculations, that person would soon reach the surface.

That would be their time to seize the Infinity Stones.

Yes, seize them.

Tony liked to be proactive; he intended to get the Infinity Stones as soon as possible.

After all, while they were indeed here to defeat Thanos and aid another group of Avengers,

They were also here to find the Infinity Stones.

If they didn't get the Stones immediately,

Tony had no doubt.

As long as the Tony from the other World was as sensitive as he was,

He would absolutely not agree to lend the Infinity Stones easily.

Jarvis's voice sounded in his ear: "Sir, the Infinity Stones' fluctuations are moving rapidly upwards; the other party seems to be about to emerge from the ruins."

Tony nodded imperceptibly, then continued to talk nonsense with Captain America.

"Captain... or rather, you know me because after you thawed from being a popsicle, you had a heated relationship with another me?"

At the same time, Jarvis also informed Diana, Kara, and others still en route in space via the public frequency.

Diana indicated she received the message, unfastening her Truth Lasso from her waist, ready to act at any moment.

Just then, the Iron Man from the b2 Universe suddenly spoke from a distance: "You guessed wrong, young man."

Iron Man had used nanotech materials to provide himself with simple injury treatment.

He walked towards the group, his steps faltering, his gaze sweeping over the scattered, bisected corpses, secretly alarmed.

In just one encounter, not only Thanos but even his army was completely annihilated.

These Superheroes from another Earth were incredibly powerful.

Iron Man said to Tony: "You are still too young; you don't understand what it means to compromise after a breakup, nor do you understand what it means to let go of the past."

"Captain understands me, just as I understand Captain; it was war that made us understand each other."

Iron Man, who was already 53 years old, was less speaking earnestly and more sarcastically teasing.

He walked up to Tony, examining the red and gold Mark Armor, and raised an eyebrow.

"Nice Mark Armor, especially the aesthetic of the color scheme is very good."

Iron Man himself wore red and gold Mark Armor, so praising Tony was praising himself.

"Is that so?" Tony looked at this other self, ten years older, in front of him, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

What was this feeling of facing that old man in his own family's graveyard?

"My aesthetic has always been good, that's true."

Tony retorted without hesitation: "But I really don't understand what a breakup or compromise is, after all, that sounds like the kind of disheartening talk only you old guys would say."

"Old guy?" Iron Man's eyebrows shot up.

"Kid, I know your parents might have recently passed away, and you coincidentally built a Mark Armor, but that's no reason for your arrogance!"

Iron Man, like Captain America, thought Tony must still be very young.

He recalled his own past.

He realized that when he was Tony's current age, he was in his early thirties.

Indulging in desires every day, living a life of debauchery, and doing whatever he wanted, relying on his intelligence.

And if he had built a Mark Armor by some coincidence at that age, he would certainly have been even more arrogant.

Putting himself in Tony's shoes, Iron Man silently labeled Tony as spoiled in his heart.

And consequently,

He had doubts about the other Superheroes who might exist on the other Earth that Tonyrepresented.

This is also a feeling most people have when looking back at the past—

They all think their past selves were very foolish and very unreliable.

Iron Man and Captain America exchanged glances, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

"Coincidence? Old guy, the technology of your Mark Armor has already been obsolete for several years by me!" Tony said grumpily.

He also had Nano Mark Armor; Mark 11 from three years ago was Nano Mark Armor.

And now, his Mark Armor designation had already been updated to Mark 39.

Iron Man's brows furrowed slightly.

Captain America put a hand on his shoulder and spoke to Tony first: "You are here as a representative to negotiate, right, Tony."

"You must have discovered more details about this Earth-shattering event; perhaps we should exchange information."

"Exchanging information is certainly very important." Tony slowly raised his head.

"However, I am not the representative; all of us have come."

Everyone has come!

Iron Man and Captain America's hearts felt as if they had been struck hard by a giant Mjolnir.

Especially Iron Man.

He felt that young Tony was too frivolous.

And if such a Tony could still be the leader, then the others certainly wouldn't be much better.

Now, such a group of people was actually coming to their Earth.

No matter what those people intended to do,

Iron Man found it hard to believe it would be anything good.

"Look, here they come." Tony pointed to the sky.

Several Quinjets tore through the atmosphere, broke through the cloud sea, and headed straight for the ruins of the Avengers Base.

Alarm bells rang loudly in Iron Man and Captain America's minds.

But it was too late to do anything at this point.

They could only watch as the Quinjets rapidly approached, descending over the corpses of Thanos's army.

Wanda, Banner, the two Captains, Carter, and General Ross and Little Spider, among others, disembarked from the Quinjets one after another.

They were stunned by the sight of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

"So many corpses, it looks like all of Thanos's army is dead?"

"The battle ended without us even having to act?"

"Where is Thanos? The most important thing is Thanos! By the way, why isn't there an Avenger here?"

"Over there, Thanos is already shattered into several pieces!"

The group made a very sharp entrance.

But now, they seemed to be unable to find their target for a moment, looking left and right, transforming from elites into a group of tourists.

The Superheroes of the Main Universe were all shocked by the immense power of Tony and the other two.

However, while expressing their genuine shock,

They also kept the immediate priority in mind, searching for the Infinity Gauntlet.

 

Chapter 453 Avengers Civil War

And the four giants of the Avengers in the b2 Universe were successfully attracted by them.

Thor and Banner, who had dug themselves out of the slab or the ground, slowly stood up.

They looked at the chattering tourists with puzzled eyes.

Iron Man looked at Little Spider in the crowd, unable to snap back to his senses for a long time.

The biggest reason he joined Captain America and others' plan to travel through time and save everything was to rescue Peter Parker.

Looking at Holland-Spider, whose mouth wouldn't stop talking.

Iron Man even temporarily ignored the problem of his age being a bit off.

And Captain America.

Captain America was also looking at the person he wanted to see.

His gaze passed over Young Captain America and Old Captain America, staring blankly at Peggy Carter behind the two of them.

Those fiery red lips and calm, sharp eyes belonged to the person he owed a dance, the one he thought about day and night.

It wasn't until the other two Captain Americas tacitly stepped forward, blocking his view, that Captain America came back to his senses.

"Carter..." Captain America was a bit confused.

The World on the opposite side seemed very different from theirs.

Otherwise, how could another him and Carter appear at the same time—Old Captain Americawas too old, he didn't recognize him.

The four Avengers giants of the b2 Universe were either overwhelmed or distracted for a moment.

It was at this moment.

Jarvis's figure appeared silently in the air.

He notified on the channel: "Everyone, the Infinity Stones have approached the ground, and the bearer will soon emerge from the ruins!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the next second, they started chattering again.

This person said it was a good thing that Thanos was dealt with.

That person said that the alien corpses all over the ground were difficult to deal with, and if it weren't for the heavy burden of snapping fingers, it would be better to turn them all into ashes with one snap.

They discussed as they approached the four Avengers giants.

Blocking the view of the four.

And just then.

A certain piece of rubble at the Avengers Base gently shook.

Ant-Man, Rocket, Rhodes, and Hawkeye emerged at the same time.

"Ah!! We're here! Captain, hold on, I... Hmm? Why are there so many corpses, and why are there two Captains there?"

Ant-Man quickly grew larger, his big round eyes wide with disbelief.

Rocket Raccoon stood on Rhodes' back, flying with him, holding the Infinity Gauntlet in his arms.

He was also shouting: "Hurry! Whoever it is, snap your fingers first and bring the other half of the people back, otherwise Thanos... Uh, what happened?"

Rocket Raccoon also stared blankly at the complicated scene.

Rhodes, beneath him, opened his faceplate: "Good heavens, are there two Tonys there? How will they face Pepper when they go back today?"

The two DiDi were still dazed.

A golden lasso, however, was flung from the crowd at a speed no one could react to.

Rocket Raccoon's eyes blurred, and his arms were instantly empty.

"Hmm? This is..." It looked down, and all its fur immediately stood on end, "The Stones! The Stones were snatched!"

In the crowd, Diana snatched the Infinity Gauntlet with the Truth Lasso, immediately jumped up, and flew into mid-air.

"Nice job!" Tony's eyes lit up, his faceplate closed, and he also shot into the sky.

Everyone else in the Main Universe had been waiting for this moment with bated breath.

Almost everyone retreated rapidly at the same time, distancing themselves from the Avengers of the b2 Universe.

"Ahem, sorry, but we need to borrow your Infinity Stones."

Tony spoke through his comm in the air, feeling that everything would go smoothly now.

He was about to explain the necessity of using the Infinity Stones to push open the World: "To the parallel World's residents, you also know..."

"F**k you!" However, Rocket Raccoon directly interrupted Tony's words with a high-angle shot.

Then the b2 Universe's Avengers, who had reacted, instantly erupted one after another.

"Damn it, so they were after the Infinity Stones, we can't let them succeed!" Iron Man activated his thrusters, heading straight for Tony.

Captain America's eyes, which had been a bit hazy a moment ago, instantly sharpened.

His gaze locked onto the other two Captain Americas.

"Wait! We can explain!" Young Captain America reached out, trying to dissuade them.

But Thor had already raised his Stormbreaker, roaring as he leaped high into the air.

He charged towards Diana like an electrified porcupine, crackling with electricity.

This blurry-eyed God King probably still couldn't quite grasp the situation.

But he saw Iron Man go, Captain America go, so he went too.

Dr. Banner tore open his shirt as he followed them.

"Give the Infinity Stones back!" He couldn't say anything too domineering, and even tearing his shirt was so refined.

This battle started very hastily.

Tony originally thought that after snatching the Infinity Stones, he would still have time to quickly explain.

But he didn't expect that the other Universe's Iron Man's impression of him was that he was young, reckless, and willful, and would never dare to put the Infinity Stones in his hands.

The Superheroes of the Main Universe hastily met the challenge.

But their pressure, to be honest, wasn't that great.

Because there were too many of them.

Except for both sides' Hawkeyes who found a high vantage point and were engaging in an archery tactics PK.

The others weren't even two-on-one; they were three-on-one or even four-on-one.

Poor Rocket Raccoon and Groot were surrounded by the Thunderbolts.

Ant-Man was focused on by another Ant-Man, Little Spider, and Falcon.

The gentle Dr. Banner was surrounded by Hulk, Red Hulk, and Abomination.

And Captain America was also being suppressed by the other two Captain Americas, hand-in-hand with Carter.

Even if the b2 Universe's Captain America had Thor's power, he was still beaten to a standstill.

Thor and Iron Man in the sky weren't surrounded.

But their situation seemed even worse.

Iron Man, with a shark-mouth cannon in his left hand and an energy cutting sword in his right, attacked Tony with both close-range and long-range attacks simultaneously.

He knew the opponent's strength, so he held nothing back.

But Tony remained very calm in the face of the attacks.

He didn't even block.

When the Impact wave released by the shark-mouth cannon blasted him.

Tony remained motionless.

When the energy cutting sword landed on the Armor, it didn't even spark much.

"This is impossible." Iron Man found it hard to accept.

Tony, however, seemed to have discovered a new World: "So this is what it feels like when Leon fights me without dodging or evading!"

Tony's style had been led astray by Leon.

During combat, he actually started to enjoy the feeling of taking attacks to the face like Leon, yet remaining motionless.

"Again, old man, again." Tony waved at Iron Man.

Iron Man's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth, he was also very displeased with his other self.

"Friday, maximum power!"

Concentric energy rings unfolded behind Iron Man.

The next second, high-energy pulse rays erupted!

However, after the ray burst, Tony's Anti-Superman Armor remained undamaged.

So Iron Man began a more intensive offense!

Twin-turbocharged heavy punches, concentrated palm cannons, magnetic flying kicks...

However, none of it worked.

Tony was like he was testing the Armor's defense, letting Iron Man attack.

In the end, Iron Man had no choice but to bring out his most powerful concentrated weapon.

Six spider-leg-like concentrated nano-skeletons unfolded behind him, slowly rotating.

"Thor!" Iron Man shouted.

Behind him was a weapon that could convert lightning into energy and amplify its burst.

It was also Iron Man's Mark 85 Armor's most powerful weapon.

However, Thor couldn't respond, only managing to send a lightning bolt over in a brief moment.

Because on the other side, he had already been firmly bound by the Truth Lasso.

After Diana became a true god, she was a genuine Skyfather-level being in the Marvel Universe.

It was just that she hadn't had the chance to show her strength before.

Facing Thor.

Her gauntlets could easily block Stormbreaker.

The Godkiller longsword could cut Thor's body.

She was even holding the Infinity Gauntlet in one hand while fighting Thor with the other.

Thor's attacks were wide and powerful, lightning flashing like silver snakes, but each time they were blocked by the Silver Bracelets of Submission.

And Diana's counter-punch after blocking the axe blade always made the bruises on Thor's face a bit worse.

Diana's combat didn't involve flashy energy bursts.

Only the exquisite martial arts honed over thousands of years.

She didn't even use any divine power bursts, yet she found a weakness and bound Thor with the Truth Lasso.

When Iron Man didn't get a response and turned his head, what he saw was:

Diana holding the Infinity Gauntlet in one hand, dangling Thor with the other, and with Stormbreaker tucked into her arm.

"Are you kidding me, Thor?"

Iron Man looked at the beer belly swaying in the wind and felt that Rhodes was right, Thor's body was indeed full of cheese.

Thor was originally smirking, seemingly stimulated by Iron Man's gaze.

He instantly stopped smiling, awkwardly licked his lips.

Then he shouted down: "Give me a hand, Steve, throw the small one over, help out!"

Captain America was relying on a shield-and-Mjolnir combo.

He was moving deftly among the other three Super Soldiers who could fight all day.

Hearing Thor's cry for help.

He first dodged Young Captain America's shield bash, then used his left arm shield to block Old Captain America's spinning kick.

Then he decisively threw Mjolnir towards Thor.

Captain America had been observing the situation on all sides.

Groot and the others had all been subdued.

To turn the tide now, they had to rely on Thor's power.

However—

"Buzz~"

As Mjolnir flew out, it was caught by a hand that reached out midway, grabbing the handle.

Young Captain America tossed Mjolnir in his hand: "I seem to be able to use this Mjolnir too, can everyone use it?"

Looking at the lightning flashing on Young Captain America's body.

The b2 Universe Captain America was stunned for several seconds, then slowly articulated: "Damn it..."

Old Captain America immediately corrected: "Watch your language, Young Steve!"

And the beer belly swaying in the sky, seeing this, his heart sank: "Oh no, that's my Mjolnir, you bastard, put it down!"

On the other side, the b2 Universe Iron Man's forehead was covered in black lines.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Why did such a serious battle turn into such a ridiculous scene?

Look at Banner over there, being wrestled by three big green and red guys.

And look at the two Ant-Men over there, wrapped up like mummies by Spider-Man, arguing about who was the friendly.

Can these guys be a little more reliable?

"What are you looking at, old man, you know, Iron Man's Armor is actually countered by a magicmove, I've always guarded against this move when fighting mages." Tony suddenly said.

"What did you say?" Iron Man thought this young Tony had gone crazy.

How could Iron Man's Armor be countered?

However, that Tony reached out and pressed his hand against his chest, and the Arc Reactor on the Armor's palm cannon lit up with a brilliant red.

"Expelliarmus!"

Clatter!

Iron Man's entire Armor instantly fell apart, and the Ark Reactor also dropped from his chest.

He fell towards the ground amidst the scattered nanotech materials, his face full of shock.

The moment he was caught by Tony before hitting the ground.

The twilight sunset was still reflected in his dazed eyes.

 

Chapter 454 The Last Eight Hours

"Alright, now we need to borrow your World's Infinity Stones. Do you have any objections?"

Tony tied up Iron Man, who was ten years older than him, and placed him on a scorched piece of ground.

Next to Iron Man,

were Captain America, Thor, Rocket Raccoon, and others who had been stripped of their gear and tied up in a line.

These b2 Universe Avengers looked at Tony in silence, leaning against a large rock behind them.

They had been defeated and captured, what objections could they possibly have?

"Of course, I have objections!" Ant-Man Scott was as much of a chatterbox as Little Spider.

With his hands tied behind his back, he hopped around on his backside to express his displeasure.

"You've got it all wrong, I'm actually your Ant-Man, the Ant-Man from this Universe went over to your side, hurry up and untie me!"

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.

This Ant-Man was truly a genius; he had been continuously arguing with the other Ant-Manabout who was from the Main Universe.

Now that he was captured, he was still trying to fish in troubled waters.

"You say you're from our side, fine, go ask if Hulk agrees."

The Main Universe Ant-Man pointed to everyone's right.

There, Dr. Banner, the only one not tied up, lay on the ground.

And Hulk was stepping on Banner's chest, roaring loudly at him: "Banner!!"

His fierce breath blew Banner's hair into disarray.

After Hulk finished roaring, he gave Banner a heavy punch, then continued to roar again.

The s Universe Banner's soul floated nearby.

He used Star Projection to enter the spirit realm, watching the scene with a headache.

"Um, Hulk, although this Banner merged with his Hulk, that's all in the past, do you think you could go a little easier on him?"

Hulk stopped his actions upon hearing this, glancing at Banner with displeasure.

Then he deliberately punched Dr. Banner in the face again.

"Hulk! Want to smash! Banner!"

Hulk seemed to be venting all his dissatisfaction with Banner onto Dr. Banner.

His strength was just right; Dr. Banner was knocked unconscious but not seriously injured.

But those heavy punches, one after another, still made everyone else feel their hearts pound just by watching.

The b2 Universe Ant-Man watched this scene, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

He swallowed hard: "I… fine, I have no objections."

"You wimp, Scott!" Rocket Raccoon cursed loudly at this moment.

This furry, highly intelligent Universe Raccoon was also tied up.

But he stubbornly looked at Tony and the two Captain Americas: "I have objections! And very big objections!"

"A Bandit runs into your house, beats you up, ties you up, and then politely asks if he can use your toilet for a quick one."

"Wouldn't you have objections then?"

Rocket Raccoon was indeed worthy of his training with the Guardians of the Galaxy; his verbal attacks were sharp.

The group from the Main Universe was momentarily speechless.

Just then, a golden portal opened.

The Main Universe Doctor Strange walked out and glanced at Rocket Raccoon: "But you are an alien, Earth is not your home."

"Whether the people of this Earth have objections or not, it's not important." Doctor Strangelooked at the others again.

"The most important thing is that we need to quickly determine whether the Infinity Stones can push the Universe apart!"

"If effective, we even need to consider whether someone needs to snap their fingers to accelerate this process."

When Doctor Strange mentioned snapping fingers, his gaze lingered slightly on the two Tonys.

"And if the outcome is different from what we expected, and something worse happens…"

He paused for a few seconds.

Then he continued: "Then I'm afraid we will also have to choose a method with an even greater cost."

"The Three Great Master Temples predict that there are only eight hours left until the final collision of the Earths."

Eight hours!

Everyone felt a string in their hearts suddenly tighten.

"Wait, are you talking about Earths colliding? So that's real, only eight hours left until the two Earths collide?"

Under the messy hair of the b2 Universe Iron Man, his cheeks instantly tensed, and his pupils constricted sharply.

He thought of Pepper and Morgan at home, and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

"Damn it, leave the Stones! You bastards!" Iron Man suddenly began to struggle violently.

He couldn't let these people take the Stones away.

If the Infinity Stones could separate the two Earths, that would naturally be the best outcome.

But what if they couldn't?

Would these people on the other side directly destroy their Earth then?

Iron Man dared not gamble.

The other b2 Universe people also began to struggle at this moment.

They ignored the pain of the ropes cutting into their flesh, desperately trying to break free from their restraints.

Agents like Hawkeye, however, were very quiet, neither struggling nor roaring angrily.

But he silently leaned against the boulder, cruelly and silently dislocating his joints until they popped out, slowly breaking free from the ropes.

However, it was all useless.

The b2 Universe Avengers were quickly subdued again.

Hawkeye was also tied up securely again.

The Main Universe Hawkeye even patted his shoulder: "We all know each other's personalities, so don't be foolish."

"Heh, if you know my personality, you'll know I can't give up!" The b2 Hawkeye spat.

The others also stared intently at the Main Universe people.

Either making verbal threats or attempting verbal communication.

At this moment, Young Captain America comforted them.

Promising never to use the Infinity Stones to destroy the Earth beneath their feet.

This made Iron Man and the others slightly relieved.

After all, Captain America's righteousness and reliability were well-known, and there were two Captain Americas on the Main Universe side.

But they still couldn't completely rest assured.

At this time, the people from the Main Universe gathered a few meters away from them.

"We'd best return to our side first, then try to use the Infinity Stones to push this Earth away," Doctor Strange suggested.

"Sorcerer, you cannot throw all the risks onto this Universe of Endgame," Old Captain Americadisagreed.

And emphasized: "That's not fair to them!"

The s Universe Avengers, from the very beginning, were actually in a neutral position.

Although they were invited by Little Spider to resolve the Universe collision crisis,

They were outsiders after all.

It was impossible to favor one Universe over the other.

This was precisely one of the points that gave Strange a headache.

"Alright, then we'll try here first, but who should use the Infinity Gauntlet?" Doctor Strangetemporarily compromised.

"Me, let me!" Thor, bound by the Truth Lasso, shouted.

But no one paid attention to him.

The Main Universe General Ross's eyes flickered, his body gradually growing larger and redder, transforming into Red Hulk again.

"Let me do it, I was the President not long ago, I have a responsibility to do this."

Doctor Strange was somewhat tempted.

But Tony shook his finger: "That won't do, your political stance is too strong, General Ross, and Jarvis said you had heart disease before, so you're not suitable."

Tony finished speaking and raised his arm; the nano-material on it rippled like waves.

"I think it should be me," Tony said.

"I've had the super-soldier serum, my self-healing ability is strong, and I'm neutral. Let alone using the Gauntlet, even snapping my fingers should be no problem."
