Insuring the Infinity Stones / "Project Wandering Earth"
"It seems you don't understand what the Angel Gene within you mean..."
Hexi got up, poured herself a cup of tea, moistened her throat, and whispered something.
"[Apocalypse] was Morgana's title when she was queen, while the titles Judgment Angel and Lord of Ten Thousand Armies were both ideas she once conceived."
"The genes of angels and demons originate from the same source, only their nature has been reversed; one is white, and the other is black."
"And you are Morgana's last sense of belonging to the Merlot Heavenly Court before her fall. The genetic sequence in you is what she originally possessed..."
"You have both black and white within you; perhaps you are the opportunity for reconciliation between the sisters."
Am I the continuation of Morgana's angelic will? And will I be forced to become a third party in this love-hate relationship between these two sisters?
Kevin sighed helplessly and raised his right hand in response.
"Okay, I'll give it a try, but you know their problems better than anyone else. Whatever the outcome, don't blame me."
Hexi seemed to have come to terms with it, nodding and rubbing her forehead.
"Alright, with Aeon God Kieran and Ryze the Wandering Mage backing us up, how much worse can the situation get? Let's try anything."
Upon hearing this, Kevin felt slightly relieved and waited for Hexi's second condition.
At this moment, the Heavenly Foundation King placed his hands on the headboard, his cheeks close together, their noses almost touching, and whispered softly in Kevin's ear.
"Do you need Guardian Angel? How about me?"
Kevin paused for a moment, then placed one hand on Hexi's shoulder, speaking with a hint of earnestness.
"We're talking serious, stop fooling around!"
Upon hearing this, Hexi sighed, stroked her cheek, and stood up, feeling somewhat saddened.
"As expected, this old man is still disliked..."
"My life is so hard, I only ever meet scumbags..."
Under Kevin's forced smile, Hexi became more composed, her face turning slightly serious.
"The second condition is that you help me eliminate Sumari when necessary..."
Kevin nodded without hesitation, accepting the condition of having a shared goal.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
"You're going to be my Guardian Angel? You're not planning to use this opportunity to seduce that Sumari guy, are you?"
Hexi clapped and nodded, her smile radiant.
"Smart! A jealous guy like him definitely can't stand such provocation. He'll come knocking on my door without me even having to look for him."
"How about it, are you starting to regret it? Reconsider your earlier suggestion, and let me be your Guardian Angel?"
Kevin chuckled and politely declined. This kind of shield role would not only attract hatred, but also because Sumari, who was hiding somewhere, was a cunning person wielding a Dark Silver weapon.
If I expose myself and he takes notice of me, it would be a loss that doesn't outweigh the gains.
After all, he himself is highly skilled and daring, so there's not much to worry about. But he has many people around him who could be used as a breakthrough point.
However, upon closer reflection, even without Thanos's invasion, the Heavenly Foundation King, who entered Earth alone, and the Queen Holy Kaisa, happened to lose contact.
Hexi wants to completely eliminate Sumari and the Heavenly Scum behind her, so she will definitely rely on Earth's native forces.
Kevin thought to himself that this deal was a bit of a loss, but he didn't dare to underestimate Hexi, who was slumped in her chair with a somewhat lazy and carefree attitude.
After the deal was struck, the two temporarily formed an alliance, and the atmosphere eased considerably.
As Kevin elaborated on the information about Titan Star and the Infinity Stones, Hexi frowned deeply, feeling that the problem at hand was quite thorny.
Based on the comparison of their strength, as quasi-god kings, she is probably a step above Kevin. If she had the assistance of the space-based battle group, she could definitely suppress him.
But Thanos, who possesses two Infinity Stones, would likely be far stronger than Queen Holy Kaisa. If this is true, then these so-called Infinity Stones are truly terrifying!
This further solidified Hexi's resolve to intervene and help, because in terms of their principles, Thanos was undoubtedly a formidable enemy of the Angel Civilization.
Just as the two were exchanging more and more cryptic messages, a silvery-white thunderclap boomed outside the window, followed by heavy, hurried footsteps from the corridor.
"Kevin, my friend, I'm so glad you're alright!"
Upon seeing the patient in bed, unharmed, Thor laughed heartily and immediately gave him a warm hug befitting Assamese etiquette.
Frigga, the Warriors Three, Sif, the God of Fertility, Heimdall followed them in, were all unharmed.
But Kevin looked around and didn't see another person. A sense of inexplicable melancholy and loss welled up in his heart.
Thor paused for a moment, then patted Kevin on the shoulder, a hint of bitterness and understanding showing on his rugged face.
After the brief meeting, Thor couldn't contain his anxiety and felt somewhat impatient.
"Where are the rest of the Asgard? My father and Jane, they're on that ship, right?"
Kevin nodded slightly, struggled to his feet, and was about to get down when Cocolia pushed her wheelchair forward, a relieved smile spreading across her old friend's face.
No wonder Thor and the others arrived so quickly; it seems Cocolia must have given them a heads-up. The two exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken.
As the Asgard, filled with excitement, gathered in Anti-Entropy's vast underground hangar, the starship model retrieved from the Spatial Rift was placed right in the center.
As soon as the button was pressed, the starship was instantly stretched back to its normal size.
Thor took the lead, tearing open the hatch with his bare hands. He saw his father sleeping soundly on the sickbed at the stern of the ship, and Jane standing guard beside him. With a sigh of relief, he stepped forward and embraced his family and the people.
Guided and comforted by the Aesir gods, the Asgard who had fled to Earth disembarked from their starship one after another.
When it was Dr. Jane's turn, the scientist had just stood up when she felt dizzy and fell to the ground, where Thor caught her in a panic.
But at the moment of contact, a burst of red and black light shot out from Dr. Jane, actually repelling Thor.
This is... an ether particle!
Thor suddenly turned around angrily, a sinister look appearing in his eyes.

Chapter 883, Section 923: Insuring the Infinity Stones
"What have you done?!"
Amidst flashes of lightning, Thor rushed forward, grabbed Kevin by the collar, and angrily questioned him.
"It's simple, not all the ether particles were thrown into the Rainbow Bridge Spatial Storm..."
Kevin pressed his right hand back, stopping Cocolia and the others who were about to snatch him away as the patient, their expressions changing. His voice was low.
In the face of crisis, the only thing he could think of to attract Thanos's attention and buy the Asgardian Gods a chance to survive was the Aether.
This thing is a divisible fluid, and Dr. Jane was once its host.
Therefore, the best option is to extract half of the ether particles from the sealed box and implant them into Dr. Jane's body, while using the other half to lure the enemy.
As for delivering the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, if this powerful weapon, capable of directly deploying troops to Titan Star, were to be used, not only the Asgardian Gods but also Earth would already be engulfed in smoke and fire.
Therefore, even if Thanos obtains the other half of the Aether, or even if Earth is in the worst possible situation and loses the other five Infinity Stones, they still have one last chance.
After all, Thanos couldn't simply snap his fingers and wipe out half the universe's population without collecting all six Infinity Stones.
This is the real insurance Kevin set up!
However, this means that someone must make sacrifices.
"Thor, let go! All of this was of my own free will! Your homeland took me in during a time of crisis, and even withstood attacks from the Dark Elves and two other races for me."
"Similarly, I must stand up when you need me!"
"Although I do not possess the same divine power as you, our souls are equal, and I am equally willing to sacrifice myself for you, for your family, and for your tribe!"
At this moment, Jane, whose spirits had slightly improved, immediately and gently stopped her boyfriend's impulsive act, her words neither humble nor arrogant, but firm and resolute.
In the ensuing silence, the Asgardian Gods, who had previously been skeptical of, and even opposed to, the relationship between Thor and Dr. Jane, were moved and filled with awe.
Thor closed his eyes in Affliction, bowed his head apologetically to Kevin, and then gently put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder. Seeing Jane's bloodless skin, his eyes were filled with Affliction.
Dr. Jane's sacrifice earned her the sincere gratitude of the Asgard.
Among them, the Queen Frigga possessed the highest level of magical skill, and the Evil God Loki stepped forward to check on Jane, hoping to prolong her life.
Aether particles possess the ability to distort reality and are unobservable.
When Jane was taken in by it, even Heimdall, who possessed the All-Seeing Eye, was unable to confirm Jane's presence from the Rainbow Bridge.
Even Odin only confirmed it was this thing after entering the realm of the gods, through the reaction of the Aether particles being activated to protect their master.
Therefore, as the host of the other half of the Aether, Dr. Jane, as long as she is alive, is essentially everyone's trump card in controlling the Infinity Gauntlet.
Whether for public or private reasons, they all hope that this woman, chosen by fate—whether fortunate or unfortunate—will live a little longer.
After several attempts, the two had to regretfully shake their heads at Thor, who was watching them intently, leaving the already devastated Thor feeling dejected.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the roar of engines came from the sky, and as the Floating Battleship landed, the Optical Camouflage was removed.
Wearing a blue and white princess-style long dress, Hatsune Miku, with an elegant and noble demeanor, gracefully descended the steps extending from the cabin door, her smile sincere.
"How about we, the SCP Foundation, take over Dr. Jane's safety?"
As they made contact, Her Princess gently touched Jane's forehead with her finger, and the host's originally bloodless skin gradually regained a touch of rosy color.
"Although this is only a temporary solution, the doctor's health will not be a problem in the short term!"
MIKU made a solemn promise, and as the Princess gave him a meaningful look, Kevin tacitly raised his hand to vouch for her, which finally put the people of Asgard at ease.
Hatsune Miku then professionally suggested that Dr. Jane should remain in a dormant state to reduce the activity of the ether particles and minimize the loss of her own life force.
Of course, to better serve this esteemed guest who has been taken in, the current Speaker has also provided full-dive equipment, allowing Jane's Divine Body to enter the game world for leisure.
After repeated negotiations, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. After bidding a reluctant farewell to Thor, Dr. Jane was packed up and carried away by the professional team.
But before everyone could exchange more pleasantries, a blizzard began, and the roar of engines filled the air as familiar faces from various organizations arrived one by one.
As the host, the reception of guests and the arrangement of the venue were naturally left to Anti-Entropy to handle.
Two hours later, everyone took their seats in the simple meeting room, and as they got down to business, the atmosphere became serious.
Kevin, who was in the very center, first explained the story of the fall of Asgard, and then told everyone present about the composition of the enemy that Earth would be facing.
Ultimately, when the secret of the Six Infinity Stones came into play, Kevin revealed what he knew.
Furthermore, to dispel any doubts in the public's mind, he cited examples such as Iron Man's suit and Red Skull's laser weapon to demonstrate the terrifying power of the Infinity Stones.
"In short, this is a catastrophe for cosmic civilizations, and the next decisive battleground is Earth!"
"Considering various factors, the tasks we need to undertake can be divided into the following points."
Kevin, with a serious expression, readily made the arrangements.
"First, we must win over allies and unite all available forces!"
When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? Now it's no longer about differences between countries, ethnicities, or even Star Domain.
Thanos and his army's strength has far exceeded Earth's capacity to withstand it, so in order to overcome the crisis, they must invest as much as possible.
"The entire Asgard race and Hexi, one of the Three Kings of Angels, have joined our ranks, but this is far from enough!"
"Next, I hope that the Super God Academy will speed up the training of the Xiong Bing Lian and shorten their formation time."
"Furthermore, Shenzhou needs to notify the Lieyang Star civilization to dispatch a fleet and high-ranking divine generals to Earth."
"At the same time, try to recall Vice Principal Ryze the Wandering Mage, and also seek help from Aeon God Kieran..."
Kevin raised his hand to the representatives from the Super God Academy, and Dukao nodded solemnly.
However, despite the appealing idea, Kevin dared not place too much hope on Aeon God Kieran and Space, and Ryze, the inheritor of Rune Lands, both of whom harbored too many secrets.
However, the Lieyang Galaxy is worth trying to win over after the pros and cons are explained.
Then, the white-haired man turned his gaze to Tony, the representative of the Avengers, and Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
"I hope the Avengers will recruit more mutants and give them something to do..."
"As for S.H.I.E.L.D.., Director Nick, your trump card— Captain Marvel who has fused with the light-speed engine—shouldn't be kept secret. Ask her to take action!"
