Tony in Danger
The name Kang the Conqueror, the moment Xia Yu uttered it...
The already unsettled Black-Clad Man's expression completely changed.
"Impossible! How do you know this name? Impossible! Fate has erased all information about me. Even if you are from the universe I was born in and you traveled here, you couldn't possibly know my name."
After the Black-Clad Man, or rather the Kang the Conqueror, finished speaking, Xia Yu smiled.
Unlike his previous exaggerated laughter, Xia Yu was now laughing with genuine joy.
It's like a weasel stealing a plump old hen.
"Oh? So you don't know everything after all? You know me, you know that bastard Yuwen Feishuang, but you don't even know where we came from. You call yourself the manager of world order, but you don't even know who I am? You don't even know what this world is?"
Before Xia Yu traveled through time, Loki's TV series had not yet been released.
However, as a seasoned Marvel fan, Xia Yu has already watched quite a few trailers and analysis videos.
In most of the videos, the mastermind behind the Time Variance Authority points to a Marvel character who has not yet appeared: Kang the Conqueror.
Kang the Conqueror turned pale after Xia Yu's sharp rebuke, and stammered, unable to speak.
Xia Yu continued his verbal sparring without holding back.
"I don't know who gave you that nickname, Conqueror? You don't deserve it. You're just a lucky guy born in a future era where Hero have fallen out of favor, who managed to unify the world by sheer chance."
"You built a time machine, traveled back in time, wanting to Avengers the Avengers Hero, but who knew that nobody even took you seriously."
"You simply didn't have the courage to fight the Avengers, so you could only travel to a timeline without the Avengers to the same world to prevent other time travelers from disrupting your rule. That's why you established the Time Variance Authority."
"Everything is just a script arranged by fate. In this script, you are just a loser, ultimately becoming a tool of fate, while you, the laughable conqueror, are merely a follower of fate."
"Shut up!!"
Xia Yu's words struck Kang the Conqueror's heart like a hammer, and he could no longer contain his anger.
Enraged, it flew to Xia Yu's side and threw a punch at Xia Yu.
Just like when Xia Yu hit him, the fist went straight through his body.
"You pathetic tool, you don't even have the right to hit someone when you're angry. You should go back to your own world and cry loudly in your mother's arms."
Xia Yu gave Kang the Conqueror the middle finger.
Straight to the sky!
Xia!! Yu!! I'll kill you!
Kang the Conqueror roared loudly at Xia Yu.
With his roar, all the Sanctuary III in the sky emitted beams of light.
One Thanos after another emerged from the light.
These spaceships didn't have a single soldier on them; they were all filled with Thanos carrying the five Infinity Stones.
An army composed entirely of Thanos, all wearing the Infinity Gauntlet and adorned with the five Thanos Stones.
"Hehe!"
Kang the Conqueror let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Let's see how you stop me this time. Do you know how long I've been preparing for this army? I want to watch these Thanos swarm in and Avengers you, the Avengers, and even the poor Earth behind you to shreds."
Kang the Conqueror spread his arms wide, with thousands of Thanos formations.
I don't know what methods he used or what promises he made.
These unruly Thanos, surprisingly, lined up obediently like soldiers, awaiting the Kang the Conqueror's order to attack.
Xia Yu landed in a flash and returned to everyone's side.
Despite the mockery, with this lineup, Xia Yu still needs to get back to everyone as soon as possible.
Ant-Man patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and said.
"It seems the conversation didn't go very well. This scene reminds me of a game I played as a kid. When you selected the highest difficulty, all the monsters on the map turned into bosses; there were no regular monsters."
"I played that game too, but I forgot the name. I only remember that I used a full thirty lives to get past that difficulty level."
Hawkeye pulled out a longbow and said.
"Get ready, everyone. This isn't a game, and we don't have thirty lives. Give it your all."
The Captain tapped his shield with his hammer, interrupting everyone and signaling that they should prepare for battle.
"Xia, should we let Tony out? With him around, it's like having an all-powerful arsenal."
Xia Yu shook his head.
"Useless Captain, this place is full of Thanos. The weapons created by the Reality Stone are no longer effective."
"Right now, only Thor and I can effectively kill Thanos. The others don't have enough attack power, unless Wanda can unleash her full power."
"Tony's situation is crucial; let's not bother him."
"Alright, here we go, let's begin!"
With Xia Yu's order to begin, most of the people present took out their Space Stone and formed dense layers of spatial barriers around them.
The Captain stood at the forefront, shield in hand.
Thanos's army has already surged in like a tidal wave.
Attacks of various colored energies rained down on the spatial barrier erected by the group, creating ripples in the air.
Xia Yu maneuvered his Armor and flew into the air.
Looking down from here, the Avengers look like a rock on a reef during high Rising Tide.
Standing tall by the sea, it withstands the impact of wave after wave of tides.
There shouldn't be any problems for the time being.
With a whoosh, Xia Yu's Sky Piercer materialized and plunged down into the sea of people below.
The underground chamber of the Avengers Compound.
Tony continued to open portals, connecting more planets to their River of Destinies.
He was still typing rapidly on the virtual keyboard.
He is still doing everything he can to develop Causality Weapon at the last minute.
"Mr. Stark, I must remind you, the enemy has arrived, and the battle outside has begun."
F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s voice echoed from the secret room.
"Really? How many came this time? Fifty or forty Thanos? I'm guessing forty-seven, right?"
Tony said without looking up.
"I don't know, sir. The numbers are impossible to count. There are Thanos everywhere outside, none of his minions, and the warships in the sky are constantly sending in new Thanos."
"And I must tell you, sir, the weapons you created with the Reality Stone before weren't very effective against this enemy."
Tony was stunned for a moment; it was an army composed entirely of Thanos.
"Show me the picture above on F.R.I.D.A.Y.."
Several drones, no bigger than ants, rose from a corner of the base, capturing most of the battlefield in the 3D view in front of Tony.
In the scene, Captain leads the group in raising a combined triangular spatial shield, which firmly withstands countless attacks from Thanos.
Xia Yu, wielding his Sky Piercer, continuously cleared out the enemies surrounding the triangle.
With each full-force swing, a large, round, purple head shoots into the sky.
With the Infinity Stones having no effect on Xia Yu, wielding a weapon transformed from Infinity Stones, was practically wreaking havoc.
Unfortunately, the enemy had too many people. For Kung Fu Xia Yu killed one, several more would swarm up from around him.
Meanwhile, the warships in the sky continued to drop Thanos onto the ground.
Damn it!
Tony slammed his fist on the table.
" On F.R.I.D.A.Y., mobilize all robots to Earth, accelerate migration, halt the calculations of the Causality Weapon, and release the existing Destiny Energy to accelerate the absorption of the River of Destiny."
Tony didn't hesitate to issue several orders to F.R.I.D.A.Y..
In the past two days, Tony's brain seems to have been given a boost, even though he hasn't yet developed Causality Weapon.
However, the remaining Destiny Energy has already been used in a preliminary way, or rather, it has been used to accelerate the absorption of the River of Destiny.
He knew that the chances of developing a weapon whose very existence was unknown were extremely slim given the current timeframe.
It would be better to use it directly for absorption into the River of Destiny. Xia Yu once said that this universe is the core of all Parallel Universes, as long as the destiny here changes synchronously.
In theory, this would allow us to escape the control of the Cosmic Will, thus rendering the Time Variance Authority powerless.
The River of Destiny that Xia Yu originally retrieved contained threads representing every life form in the universe.
After Tony used some means to escape the River of Destiny, they all turned into a kind of pure golden energy.
At this moment, following Tony's order, two launchers rose from the ground on F.R.I.D.A.Y., aimed at the black holes on either side of the River of Destiny.
A golden beam of energy shot out suddenly.
The moment the small black hole came into contact with this energy, the efficiency of the entire River of Destiny's absorption increased dramatically.
If the previous speed was like walking, then this speed is now like racing.
Everyone on the battlefield of AC City has, to varying degrees, dealt with the Infinity Stones.
Although the energy of fate is ethereal and intangible, it is relevant to those who have been exposed to the energy radiation of the Infinity Stones.
I still have some feelings about these things.
The entire battlefield suddenly stopped, and everyone felt as if a huge vortex had appeared out of nowhere.
This isn't a vortex you can see with the naked eye, but rather a feeling.
An extremely ethereal and invisible energy from across the universe is flowing towards this place.
Everyone on the battlefield noticed it, Kang the Conqueror was no exception.
His expression changed again, and he shouted loudly at Xia Yu.
"So the River of Destiny wasn't shattered after all; it fell into your hands. You think you can reassemble River of Destiny? It won't be so easy."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was already directing dozens of Thanos to run rapidly toward the base.
The River of Destiny is Xia Yu's trump card for turning defeat into victory, and it absolutely cannot be lost.
Seeing this, Xia Yu also prepared to take off in his Armor to intercept them.
However, he was swarmed by a tide of enemies and was unable to escape for a time.
"Tony, Tony, we've been discovered! Think of something, damn it! If all else fails, you can take the River of Destiny and teleport away first."
Xia Yu was fighting while screaming wildly into his headset.
Even without Xia Yu's reminder, Tony had been watching the battlefield closely.
Knowing he had been exposed, Tony immediately decided to take up the River of Destiny, open a portal, and find a random place to continue.
"Stop transmitting energy on F.R.I.D.A.Y., I need to prepare to run away."
After Tony finished speaking, he reached out and placed his hand on the bottom of the River of Destiny, preparing to lift him up and leave.
Who knew that when I stretched it to the bottom and applied a sudden force, the River of Destiny remained completely still.
The two launch ports controlled on F.R.I.D.A.Y. are still injecting energy into the black hole.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I can't control it now. The moment the Destiny Energy came into contact with those two small black holes, I lost control. I can't disconnect. It's like some kind of predetermined rule of the universe."
Tony didn't have time to answer F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s question. He simply added many small jets to the wrists of his Armor and kept his hands gripping the bottom.
With his own strength combined with the lift added to his Armor, Tony could lift even a house.
But the River of Destiny remained completely still.
Tony was getting impatient and didn't have time to investigate why. He directly fired the laser cannon at the two firing ports.
"Boom!!"
The two launch ports shattered with a deafening roar, but the Destiny Energy seemed to be drawn by some force.
It continues along the same route, constantly feeding into the two small black holes.
Unlike the absorption by the River of Destiny, this was a visible golden mist continuously pouring into the two black holes.
Tony had no choice but to raise his hand and flick it towards the golden mist.
"Boom!!"
The energy Tony fired exploded the moment it came into contact with the golden mist.
The massive blast wave knocked Tony to the ground.
Above, several Thanos, following Kang the Conqueror's instructions, had arrived not far from the base entrance, above the secret chamber.
Kang the Conqueror has pinpointed the location, but Tony cleverly used spatial energy to create a barrier below, preventing them from teleporting directly down.
They had no choice but to use the most rudimentary method: they used the Reality Stone to erase a large area of land, revealing a huge crater.
In just three moves, they had reached the secret room, revealing Tony's figure.
There was a spatial barrier overhead.
Without a word, the group of Thanos activated the Power Stone and launched a fierce attack on the spatial barrier below.
"Tony, if you can't handle it, just leave. You can't hold out for long using the Infinity Stones all by yourself."
Although Xia Yu couldn't come over in person, he kept an eye on the situation here whenever he had a spare moment.
Unlike the Captain, they were a group of people who took turns being responsible for one direction.
Although he received the blessing of Godhood, the endless use of the Infinity Stones put a tremendous strain on his body.
"Take care of yourself, you're completely overwhelmed by this purple ocean!!"
Indeed, Xia Yu's current condition could be described as being covered in sweat.
If it weren't for the Aether Armor, Xia Yu would have been severely injured by all of Thanos's punches and the Heavenly Blade of the Dead.
As time ticked by, more and more Thanos appeared above Tony's head in the spatial barrier.
Everyone remained silent, activating the Power Stones and smashing the spatial barrier with the Infinity Gauntlet.
"Pfft!!"
Tony couldn't hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The spatial barrier overhead was teetering on the brink of collapse.
"Tony, damn it, get out of here!!"
Xia Yu painstakingly made his way towards Tony, each step accompanied by the corpses of several Thanos.
The blood had seeped into the ground beneath their feet, making a squelching sound as they stepped on it.
"Ahhh!!"
Xia Yu let out a long roar, and his Sky Piercer transformed into a dark red Flash, striking repeatedly forward.
He killed several enemies in one go, but the empty spaces were immediately filled by a new purple bald guy.
"Tony, you bastard! Let's go!"
Xia Yu was grinding his teeth so hard they were almost broken.
"Anyone can give up, but I can't, Natasha can't. We were both destined to die anyway. If this battlefield requires someone to sacrifice, it's better for me than someone else."
Tony gave a bitter smile and increased the output of the Space Stone. His body was already overwhelmed, and blood was gushing from every pore on his body.
The Armor automatically drained water, and a large amount of blood flowed from Tony's feet.
But it was still to no avail.
Finally, with a full-force punch from Thanos, the entire spatial barrier shattered, and Tony collapsed helplessly to the ground.
He's been putting in the most effort these past few days, and he's also been in the worst condition.
Using Infinity Stones continuously will put an increasing burden on the body.
"Tony, Tony!!"
Tony just let out a muffled groan, which Xia Yu heard through his earpiece.
Upon hearing the sound, quickly shout loudly.
But Tony didn't respond at all.
Xia Yu panicked, he was really panicked.
No longer caring about the injuries to his soul, he activated his Source power at full force.
A hazy gray energy flowed out from Xia Yu's body.
It instantly controlled all the surrounding enemies, freezing them all in place.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Yu spun around and flew into the sky, heading straight towards Tony.
At the chest of his soul's Source, Xia Yu could clearly feel a crack appear in the 'patch'.
Xia Yu couldn't care less about anything else, because he could clearly see that Tony's spatial barrier had shattered and several Thanos were jumping down.
While Xia Yu was still in mid-air, if Thanos went down and attacked directly, even if Xia Yu unleashed another burst of energy, it might not be enough to stop him.
Tony Stark is in grave danger!
This is a super long chapter, not divided into multiple chapters!
