The Difference Between Civilizations
"Well done, Thor."
After eliminating all the Chitauri soldiers, Tony Stark located Thor's position using the communicator he was issued with, and then flew to his side.
Iron Man didn't spend much time with this Asgard prince; their interactions were mostly on the battlefield. However, he left a very good impression on Tony Stark.
Although Thor is a bit rough around the edges and looks like a brute, his mind is very sharp in battle. He has helped him get rid of the entangled Chitauri soldiers more than once. In addition to being a warrior wielding a hammer, Thor is also a mage, although he specializes in lightning, but it is very useful.
For example, acting as a healer to charge his Iron Man suit allows him to create large-scale thunderstorms to block the battlefield and reduce their stress, just like now.
"No, I didn't do it!"
Thor looked up at the sky covered in lightning. The power of the god of thunder allowed him to see the flow of energy in the air. "These lightning bolts are being manipulated. My divine power can only affect them."
Thor then delivered a long speech to explain the current situation, though his common sense about Earth was lacking, and he couldn't use a narrative style that Tony Stark could understand.
Tony Stark was initially confused, but as the leading man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his wisdom was unmatched. After replacing some of Thor's terms with the technical jargon he was already familiar with, he suddenly understood. He discovered that Thor was explaining the phenomenon of thunderstorms in the sky from a very scientific perspective, and his research was extremely thorough, far exceeding the level of Earth's civilization.
Even Tony Stark, after hearing Thor's account, found himself to have gained a great deal, taking another step forward in the application of electrical energy and magnetic fields.
This Thor seems to have stepped out of mythology, actually lives in a highly technologically advanced environment. His way of thinking, which has been subtly influenced by this environment, has given him an extremely high level of knowledge. Like someone who has received a complete nine-year compulsory education, his understanding of the world has surpassed that of his predecessors. His choice of words and sentences naturally carries the crystallization of knowledge from a very mature civilization system.
His behavior appears rude and barbaric, but in reality, it's because the environment is incompatible with his demands, as Earth's civilization is too backward, much like how children in the smartphone era make phone call gestures that are completely different from their parents'.
People accustomed to induction cookers and gas stoves would certainly not be as adept at starting a fire with flint as people in ancient times, but induction cookers and gas stoves are clearly more technologically advanced.
Tony Stark realized that Asgard needed to be reassessed; it was a terrifying civilization, Black Eggplant needed to be notified to prepare in advance. Energy weapons and the like were bound to be developed.
Furthermore, he himself needs to make targeted improvements to his combat suit based on the existing intelligence.
However, these matters should be addressed later. The most pressing issues now are resolving the problem of the spatial gate and the artificially created thunderstorm in front of us.
According to Thor's account, Tony Stark improved the detector system's algorithm in a short period of time and then successfully saw what Thor saw.
"How terrifying!"
The energy accumulated high in the sky is an enormous amount. If those lightning bolts hadn't blocked the portal but instead struck the city below, Tony Stark had no doubt that their destructive power would have turned New York into ruins.
After obtaining the test results, J.A.R.V.I.S. immediately warned Tony Stark to leave New York, Iron Man suit could not guarantee his survival from a lightning strike of this magnitude.
But artificial intelligence is, after all, artificial intelligence; it cannot understand human thought. Tony Stark has more important things to do than save his own life.
On the rooftop balcony of Stark Tower, Doc Green arrived with Captain America and Black Widow. Their mission was even more challenging: not only did they have to close the portal, but they also had to confront a powerful enemy.
Have we stumbled into a monster's lair?
Doc Green put the two people in his arms down, looked at the bizarre enemies on the balcony, and let out a gasp of amazement.
Leaving aside the Gaia Memory, Mutants in the X-Men universe were genetically modified by the Celestial Group at the early stages of life evolution, but some still experienced irreversible physical changes when their genes awakened.
How could the Kree, whose genetic technology is far inferior, possibly grant their Inhuman cannon fodder truly perfect abilities? Almost every Inhuman race's ability has side effects, and physical changes are relatively minor. After the hidden Inhuman genes of this group were activated by the Gaia Memory, they could be called freaks.
As for the group that used **coins, their appearance was even stranger.
The Dragon Blood Coin is merely a magical vessel; its true power lies in the magic from Hell, obtained through a trade with Mephisto, which manipulates the human body. Under excessive sexual activity, the human soul is distorted, and these changes are faithfully manifested in the body. Their appearance even sent a chill down the spine of Captain America, who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Captain, do you have the driver that uses the **coin with you?"
Black Widow quietly asked Captain America that, apart from her special agent suit equipped with the latest technology from S.H.I.E.L.D.., all she had for this mission were two bracelets that fired special bullets and two short sticks.
This level of weaponry is barely enough to deal with ordinary Mutant, but it's clearly insufficient to deal with the group of monsters in front of them. Besides, Nick Fury and she had previously discussed that only the same type of coin could completely eliminate the coin.
"Dr. Clark hasn't finished it yet." Captain America shook his head, then took off the shield he was carrying on his back, put it on his arm, assumed a fighting stance, activated his passive skill "50/50", and prepared to spend a whole day fighting the monsters in front of him.
Doc Green then activated the driver a few times, releasing Hulk's consciousness and power, making it occupy a larger proportion of Doc Green's individual being and making him even more powerful.
Hulk's fighting instincts and boundless rage are essential for battle, Bruce Banner's intelligence allows him to better unleash his power.
However, their situation is not optimistic. The difference in numbers is one aspect, but the key is that the opposing team has Supergiant.
At this moment, the Mind Scepter was in her hand. The power of the Mind Stone combined with her own strong mental power was immense. She could twist the will of half the city's inhabitants in an instant.
If it weren't for the excessive strain of using the Infinity Stones, the exhaustion from repeatedly using the Tesseract, and the interstellar communication with others that had left her not yet fully recovered and unable to use the Infinity Stones again so easily, the three of them would have become part of the enemy in a single encounter.
