The Strongest Avenger, Undefeated by Anyone

"You want to go to space too?"

"That's right, the universe is so big, I want to go and see it!"

After copying the files, Stark returned the USB drive to Russell and then brought up the idea of going out of Earth to see the world.

He was shocked by his future self. He wouldn't admit it, but he knew very well that with his current technology, he couldn't create that cool nano- Iron Man Suit.

Although he said that in a few years, as his technology matured, he was confident that he could create the same or even better Iron Man Suit, the future is the future and the present is the present. His pride would not allow him to pin his dreams on the future!

"Stark, I know what you're thinking, but haven't you chosen the wrong goal? Is it meaningful to compete with your future self?"

Russell saw through Stark's thoughts at a glance. It was good to be ambitious, but what did that have to do with him? He was leaving Earth to do something important, not to lead a scientific expedition.

"He is him, I am me, and the future me is not me."

"..."

Russell remained silent. Geniuses are really something else. He's different. If he met his future self, he would definitely rush over and fawn over him.

"How about it, can you take me for a trip around the universe?" Stark asked expectantly, promising that he would behave himself and not cause any trouble.

If he doesn't cause trouble, how can he be called Tony Stark?

Russell scoffed, calling this guy a walking, talking taunt, never lacking enemies. Throughout the Iron Man trilogy, all three villains stated they weren't villains, but simply disliked Stark and wanted to kill him.

"Dude, I can't take you to space. Even though you say it all the time, I know you just want to try out girls from different planets."

Stark was taken aback, realizing he had gained yet another reason to enter the universe.

No, that's the real reason he entered the universe. Compared to fighting for Earth's honor, competing with his future self is such a low-level and incredibly pathetic act.

"I want to go to space. Tell me, how much?"

"Stark, don't talk to me about money. I'm not like other people."

Russell's brow twitched. It really wasn't about the money. There was no such thing as "it smells so good" in this case. Even if Stark transferred all the company's shares to him, he couldn't take them with him!

"One billion US dollars!"

"Not even 10 billion. It's not about how much money it is. I'm a man of principle. If I say no, then no." Russell insisted on not raising the price. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "I just remembered that there's something urgent waiting for you to do. You don't have time to go on space exploration."

What?

"Take your communicator on and you'll see. It's probably about to be blown up."

Hydra is plotting to conquer the world and has probably already taken control of its subordinate agency, S.H.I.E.L.D.. It needs superheroes to save it. As the main hero, Stark doesn't have the time to go to space to investigate folk culture at this critical moment.

Stark opened the communicator with some skepticism. Sure enough, there were several Avengers and missed calls from S.H.I.E.L.D.. After contacting Steve, his expression changed slightly, and he left the spaceship without saying a word.

"Good luck, Hydra of this world..." Russell offered his blessing, then started the spaceship and drove away from the atmosphere.

The blessing is for Hydra, not for the Avengers. It's not that I look down on Hydra, but this messed-up world is just so absurd.

Whether the plan is reasonable or not is not important, and whether the lineup is strong enough is not important either, because whenever evil villains do evil, superheroes will step forward.

If the villain is too powerful, even the heroes as a team can't defeat him, a new hero will immediately step forward, and then this new hero will attract a new villain to appear.

What follows is an endless loop, with heroes and villains appearing in droves. If it crashes, the timeline is restarted; if the timeline can't be saved, it's abandoned, and a new book is started... cough cough, a new universe is created.

If that doesn't work, the Multiverse is interconnected; this approach can be used until the end of the world.

In the vast universe, a small spaceship continuously shuttles between space nodes, jumping forward over long distances.

Russell piloted the spaceship with one hand, gazing at the gems on the Infinity Gauntlet in deep thought. Of the Six Infinity Stones, the Reality Stone and the Soul Stone remained in 2023, leaving the Avengers to find a way to return them to their original places. Of the four in his hand, the Time Stone had already been returned to the Master Gu Yi.

The remaining three are Mind Stone, Power, and Space; he hasn't decided where they belong yet.

Sending the Power Stone back to Morag would be no problem, and the Space Stone could perhaps be sent to Asgard without much trouble. But what about the Mind Stone?

According to the original Marvel Cinematic Universe history, the Mind Stone would be obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D.., also known as Hydra, which would then create Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, and later Ultron and Vision.

The problem is that history has gone astray in 2012, so the Mind Stone is meaningless on Earth; it would be better to bury it somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

This might result in the loss of three Avengers generals, but upon closer inspection, it makes no difference whether they are there or not.

Vision, in particular, was incredibly powerful when he first appeared. He possessed abilities such as density control, flight, matter penetration, energy emission, and Vibranium body. He could also lift Mjolnir and was known as the strongest Avengers, unbeatable by anyone.

And what was the result?

They really can't beat anyone!

He was incredibly accurate when it came to taking down War Machines; in a flash, Colonel Rhodey was dead!

The spaceship left the space node, and the planned route was quite far from the next shuttle point. Russell glanced at the asteroid belt ahead and rushed in without saying a word.

In the dictionary of Old Drivers, there is only taking shortcuts; they have never heard of taking detours, and their abilities simply do not allow it.

After leaving the asteroid belt, he inexplicably drove back. Finding no suitable place to put the Mind Stone, he simply threw it into the asteroid belt to end it all.

Five minutes later, Russell clapped his hands and returned to the spaceship.

He buried the Mind Stone inside an asteroid, but to be honest, he couldn't find it himself in the blink of an eye.

"Unless someone invents Infinity Stones Radar, finding the Soul Stone is pure wishful thinking." Russell was very satisfied with his results; if it could still be unearthed, he had nothing to say.

The Space Stone was sent to Asgard, but he didn't know the exact location and didn't intend to waste time. After checking the Star Map, he found that it was very close to Svartalfheim.

One of the Nine Realms, the lair of the Dark Elves, under the jurisdiction of Asgard. Sending him there would be no different than sending him to Asgard. Heimdall possesses the divine eye to see through the Nine Realms; it's highly likely that he had barely dug a hole to bury it before the other side arrived with a shovel two minutes later.

"Reliable!"

Russell spent two hours delivering the second gem to Svartalfheim, with the final stop being Morag.

The pattern of starting and ending at the same point fits the definition of time perfectly, much like Mobius Strip. Russell felt this round was in the bag.

It's not that he's making a bold statement; he's just out of other tricks!
