Chu Yang corrected him irritably, "It's Flying Thunder God!"
"I know, I know, big guy, don't make a fuss!" Tony looked at Thor with disdain. "Doesn't that spell require specific coordinates to use?"
"What coordinates?" Thor replied blankly.
What an idiot!
Tony suddenly felt that engaging in an equal exchange with this muscular man was an insult to his intelligence.
"It's not Flying Thunder God Technique, but a new technique that can help me pinpoint the coordinates of a galaxy." Chu Yang briefly explained the Space Stone's abilities.
Tony's eyes lit up suddenly. "Oh, this is really good. Could you explain the principle to me in detail so we can try to implement it with a machine?"
"Let's talk about it another time. We have more important things to do right now, don't we?" Chu Yang reminded the two of them.
“That’s right, there’s a big guy at our doorstep.” Tony’s expression also turned serious. “We need to take care of him first.”
"None of you have ever seen the Avengers' base, have you?"
……
Wakanda.
The Avengers chose this location as their base because Tony Stark and Black Panther reached an agreement, exchanging their respective technologies.
S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to gain entry into the country.
According to Black Panther, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers each operate independently, and he only agreed because of Tony Stark.
Therefore, Director Fury could only participate in the Avengers' meetings via video link.
"Based on Tony's previous suggestion, countries around the world now have a large number of war robots. If it is confirmed that it is an enemy invasion, we should mobilize them as soon as possible."
The ghostly figure of Chief Fury paced back and forth in front of everyone.
"I've said it many times, Thanos isn't here for a vacation. There's nothing to be sure about. Do you really want to sit down and have a chat with him?"
Thor simply couldn't understand Chief Fury's indecisiveness.
"I know what you're thinking, but Earth isn't Asgard. We can't just start an interstellar war anytime soon. Even with the Avengers, our chances of winning aren't high!"
Director Fury leaned down and slammed his fist on the table on the other side of the camera. "We can't afford to gamble, so we need to be careful!"
Thor stood up and walked toward Fury's phantom image, saying in a deep voice, "Earth is not fighting alone in this war. Asgard will also be involved. Thanos is after the Infinity Stones, and Asgard has them too. We cannot escape this fate."
"Father's idea is that instead of passively defending, we should join forces with you to launch an offensive!"
A look of surprise flashed across everyone's faces.
Captain America Rogers excitedly stood up, walked over and patted Thor on the shoulder, "On behalf of Earth, I thank you, and I thank every warrior of Asgard."
"You're welcome." Thor turned to look at Chu Yang and smiled, "I should be thanking Yang. My father is old and in poor health. It was Yang who treated his body and allowed him to live a little longer."
“If it weren’t for this, Asgard would have been in chaos long ago. We must repay this favor.”
Rogers laughed and said, "Our magician isn't bad."
Chu Yang smiled and nodded in response, "Thank you for the compliment."
"It's good that Asgard has chosen to join the war, but can anyone tell me which planet this cloaked guy is from?"
Tony pointed at Doctor Strange, completely bewildered.
"Excuse me, I am 100% Earth. Two years ago, I was a surgeon. My name is Strange, and I am not an alien."
Doctor Strange reluctantly explained the existence of sorcerers to everyone, claiming to be the guardians of Earth, helping the planet resist the invasion of the dark matter world.
This claim was even more astonishing than the fact that he was an alien, and Tony couldn't help but applaud after hearing it.
"I didn't know our world was so wonderful before, but since even gods exist, it's not surprising that there are a few mages."
"Oh, excuse me, what did you say you were a mage?"
Tony turned to the side, placed his palm against his ear, and made a listening gesture.
Doctor Strange took a deep breath. "Sorcerer Supreme."
“Sorcerer Supreme! Oh! That’s a great title, it sounds a bit like the taco shop downstairs from my house.” Tony asked, “Sorcerer Supreme, do you like tacos?”
Doctor Strange narrowed his eyes, his tone stern, "Are you kidding me, Mr. Robot?"
“My name is Tony! Tony Stark!” Tony’s attitude was also bad, and he said coldly, “That guy named Thanos came for you, and the whole Earth is paying the price for you.”
"I just want to know if destroying the Infinity Stones would allow Thanos to leave this place!"
Doctor Strange simply shook his head and said, "I swear to protect the Eye of Agamotto and will never destroy it."
"Perfect answer!" Tony exclaimed, clapping his hands in approval.
"Don't do that." Thor stepped forward to stop Tony and explained, "Even if we destroy the Infinity Stones, Thanos will still slaughter half of the life on this planet. That's what he's always done, no matter where he goes!"
Tony was stunned.
Rogers slammed his hand on the table, trying to get everyone's attention, and then said, "Thor's words show one thing: this is an inescapable war, and right now, we must unite."
Tony and Doctor Strange stopped arguing. Both were very intelligent and rational people and wouldn't do anything meaningless.
"Now that you've resolved your internal conflicts, shouldn't you discuss how to deal with the enemy?"
Director Fury's projection continued, "We don't have much time left!"
Black Panther, as the master, stepped forward and said, "As king, I should not have brought war into my country, but this time is different. This is a war between the entire Earth and outsiders, and Wakanda has an inescapable responsibility."
"We will meet the enemy right here!"
...............................
Beyond Earth, a massive warship is slowly approaching, surrounded by a dense array of escort ships, like stars surrounding the moon.
Thanos now possesses two Infinity Stones: the Power Stone, obtained from destroying Xandar, and the Soul Stone, acquired after sacrificing his adopted daughter Gamora.
He should have been happy to receive two gems, but he just couldn't feel happy at all.
Three Infinity Stones had lost contact and could not be sensed no matter what, which made Thanos feel uneasy.
The three Infinity Stones disappeared on Earth, so he immediately led his army on a long-distance interstellar expedition.
This was a dangerous decision, but Thanos didn't care.
Only by collecting all six Infinity Stones can he fulfill his long-held ideal, or rather, his obsession.
Thanos, seated on his throne, would occasionally stare absently at the Infinity Gauntlet; more precisely, he would stare at the Soul Stone.
"Great Thanos, we are very close to Earth. Shall we initiate the warp drive and send our army directly to Earth?"
Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, saw Thanos lost in thought and whispered a reminder in his ear.
Thanos stood up, his figure looming in the darkness, exuding an immense sense of oppression.
"Where are the monkeys?"
"You mean the Guardians of the Galaxy?"
"That's right, didn't Nebula go after them? Why haven't we heard anything from them yet?"
"My lord, I believe Nebula will complete the mission."
"Humph!"
Thanos slowly walked to a huge screen, looked at the lush and beautiful Earth on the screen, and said indifferently, "A very beautiful planet. My home planet Titan was once just as beautiful, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the end."
Ebony Maw said with his head down, "Everything you have done is for the universe, and someone will always remember your contributions."
"Merit?" Thanos chuckled self-deprecatingly and said coldly, "You don't need to flatter me on this kind of thing. I know what I'm doing. Slaughter and extermination have nothing to do with merit."
Ebony Throat was sweating profusely after hearing this; his attempt to flatter had backfired.
"Get the soldiers ready..."
"War is about to begin!"
Meanwhile, Wakanda was extremely busy.
Doctor Strange and his sorcerers are opening a portal to gather war robots from all over the world in Wakanda to compensate for the vast disparity in military strength between the two sides.
Because Hydra was not exposed and the Sokovia incident in Avengers 2 did not occur, the Avengers still had a high level of trust in S.H.I.E.L.D.
With Chu Yang's encouragement, Tony produced a large number of war robots, which were handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. to combat special criminals around the world.
Over the years, the number of war robots has become quite considerable, which is the source of Earth's confidence in fighting off aliens, aside from the Avengers.
The Rainbow Bridge never stopped, its magnificent beams of light piercing the heavens and earth, from which emerged one Asgardian soldier after another.
Until... Loki appeared, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Tony had already donned the Iron Man suit and was pointing the laser cannon from his palm at Loki, clearly intending to blast him through at the slightest provocation.
The others were similar, each holding a weapon and watching Loki warily.
"Wow, I'm reinforcements, are you sure you want to treat me like this?" Loki raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Gentlemen, I know he has done some bad things, but the situation is urgent now. Can we give Loki a chance?"
Queen Frigga slowly walked out of the Rainbow Bridge and smiled gently at everyone.
“This is my mother,” Thor whispered to him.
As if waking from a dream, everyone put away their weapons in the face of the friendly Frigga.
