The missing Thanos

The Vulture incident is over. Spider-Man went through a difficult decision and lost the first girl he ever had a crush on. It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but life is always full of experiences!

The Young Avengers Alliance have also established themselves in Queens and the surrounding area, becoming well-known neighborhood Hero.

The three teenagers, each dressed in Vibranium alloy armor, could easily handle ordinary criminals.

In order to address the issue of Tate integration into human society, Xia Yu also began to allow some contact between aliens and Earth tourists.

At first, everyone was incredibly shocked, but eventually, the tourists gradually got used to it, and even a few of the original gladiators joined the Avengers after their application.

In the scenic area planned for tourists by the Avengers, small shops have been set up to sell various items.

The Avengers were quite happy about this, as everyone was able to integrate and live normally, which was what they hoped for.

In the near future, Xia Yu hopes that Tate can also go to school like Peter, make more friends, and even find a girlfriend from Earth.

Everything seemed to be going well.

Aside from the message Star-Lord sent from space, which made Xia Yu somewhat worried.

I don't know when it started, but there has been no news of the Mad Titan Thanos in the universe.

Not only Thanos, but also Thanos forces and his army have vanished without a trace in the universe.

In the past, Thanos led his massive army, slaughtering planets from time to time.

Occasionally, news about him can be heard from the universe.

But I don't know when it started, I gradually stopped hearing from him.

"The last news was six months ago, when his fleet wiped out half the population of a planet, and since then, no one has seen them or heard from them again."

On Xia Yu's phone screen, Star-Lord was telling Xia Yu in detail the news he had heard in the universe.

This was Xia Yu's request when they parted ways: to have Star-Lord and the others keep an eye on Thanos's movements.

"Is there no one else in the universe who has any news about him? Or is it that your search scope is not wide enough?"

Xia Yu asked later.

"Impossible. I thought so at first too, but I've put up a huge bounty online. If he's still in space, he can't possibly go unnoticed. Now there are only two possibilities left?"

Star-Lord held up two fingers and waved them.

"Oh?"

Xia Yu gestured for Star-Lord to continue.

"Either he's dead, or the entire legion was wiped out, but I can't think of any force in the universe that could do that."

"The second point is that he's hiding on some remote planet. As long as he doesn't contact the outside world, there's naturally no news of him. I tend to agree with the second theory."

Star-Lord makes a good point. Thanos's massive army and minions couldn't possibly have escaped unnoticed unless someone the Snap with all six Infinity Stones like Iron Man did in the movies.

Xia Yu also leaned towards the second point. Xia Yu was prepared for things to change and become more difficult. However, what Xia Yu feared most was not knowing what state Thanos would be in when he arrived, or what he might have obtained.

It's even possible that Thanos isn't coming.

The most dangerous enemy is the one you don't understand.

Even if it were Thanos coming, Xia Yu wasn't afraid of him now that he had brought his army to Earth in such a grand manner.

The worst thing is if something unforeseen happens, like Thanos ambushing someone, taking hostages, and forcing Xia Yu to hand over the Infinity Stones.

There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Xia Yu fell into a deep silence.

"Hey Xia, don't worry so much. Maybe Thanos has come to his senses and retired to that planet with his crew."

Star-Lord is an optimist.

Xia Yu couldn't really think that way.

"What about Gamora? Does she know what Thanos might be doing?"

"She's already tried. We hired people to go to the places Thanos was most likely to appear, some hidden strongholds and the like, and they were all deserted. Not even a blade of grass could be seen, let alone Thanos and his army."

"Alright, keep asking around. Let me know as soon as you have any news. Come back and stay for a few days when you have time. Yondu didn't say it, but he definitely misses you."

Xia Yu spoke a few more words with Star-Lord about what was happening here, then hung up the phone.

From the moment he came into this world, Xia Yu never thought about what he had seen on the elevator advertisement.

He's nothing but a geek, surrounded by beautiful women; he's just a loser, a shut-in.

Although the system made him stronger, he remained cautious. Until the final battle arrived, a thorn remained in his heart.

This cautious approach has been consistent with his behavior over the past few years. Initially, he didn't dare to change any plot, sticking to the direction of the movie and not daring to make any changes easily.

Later, his mindset gradually changed, and his strength grew stronger. Xia Yu began to make small changes to some things, but the overall main theme remained the same.

From the few words spoken by Old Master Li and the occasional remarks made by Odin or the Ancient One, Xia Yu knew that this world, or rather this universe, had its own consciousness, and that so-called destiny was simply a series of predetermined events.

Making changes would bring more unpredictable disasters.

In the past, Xia Yu only thought about how to protect himself and survive in this world.

But now, he carries too much on his shoulders— Tony, Natasha, everyone in the Avengers, even Tate and Yondu —he must do everything in his power to protect them.

Preparing for the final moment.

Now that he knew Thanos had disappeared, Xia Yu began to feel troubled.

But she didn't know who to talk to. To be honest, in terms of strength and vision for the future, the Avengers had been far surpassed by Xia Yu.

But Xia Yu felt a little guilty if he didn't talk to someone about it.

Go find Odin?

Xia Yu was a little afraid to face Sif.

After much thought, I realized I had no choice but to go find the Ancient One.

The Himalayas are Sanctum in the hearts of mountaineers from all over the world.

Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, is the final resting place of countless brave souls who dreamed of reaching the summit.

Especially in the last few hundred meters, almost every meter is a distance that exceeds the limits of human endurance.

Low temperature, lack of oxygen, steep mountains, and raging winds high in the sky.

Any one of these factors could directly take a person's life.

But here now, there is a bald woman wearing a simple, light robe.

She stood there atop the peak, seemingly unaffected by the fierce winds and freezing temperatures.

The portal opened, Xia Yu stepped into this world of ice and snow.

Hi! Aunt Ancient One!

Xia Yu greeted them with a glib tongue.

Such an environment had no effect on Xia Yu, but one sentence from Ancient One Yi made Xia Yu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Xia, do me a favor: kill Doctor Strange, my best student."
