After hearing Tony's conclusion, everyone cheered and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
The only one who was unhappy was the Red Skull. He had a sullen face and growled like a defeated dog, "This is impossible!"
"How could something that I have spent decades researching without any results be cracked by you so easily?"
"You must be making random guesses without any scientific basis!"
"It's useless, you have to sacrifice your beloved's soul in the end!"
Everyone looked at each other and laughed at the angry look on Red Skull's face.
"Red Skull, you have been bound here for decades. You can't even imagine how far the outside world's technology has advanced."
Steve looked at his old enemy with sympathy, remembering the confusion and helplessness in his heart when he first woke up and faced a strange world.
"The technology you were so proud of back then has completely fallen behind now. Even the most ordinary researchers in the Academy of Sciences are probably better than you. What's more, Tony Stark and Professor Hulk are both from Earth. One of the most powerful scientists in the world."
"Actually, you can remove those two words." Tony interjected proudly.
"Okay, you got results, you're the best!" Steve shrugged, completely immune to Tony's shitty behavior.
】
The Red Skull roared helplessly and furiously. If his body hadn't been destroyed, he might have pounced on him and started fighting.
Just as everyone was laughing and joking, Friday suddenly reminded him:
"Gentlemen, space jump fluctuations have been detected in outer space, and many strange warships have appeared outside the planet Vormir. Based on a rough judgment, it is very likely that they are coming for the soul gem."
Everyone was shocked, "Oops! We can't let them take the soul gem first!"
"Then prepare for war! Drive them all away and come back after we get the power stone."
The Avengers were fully armed and ready to go to war, but the little raccoon suddenly said, "Or we can let them get the soul gem out first, and then snatch the gem from their hands. This is better than going to get the power gem first and then coming back." It’s a much faster trip.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
They were all used to being superheroes, and for a moment they never thought of using robbery to obtain gems. However, Rocket's specialty is interstellar thieves, and his first reaction is to steal or rob.
Thor agreed first and laughed loudly, "Yes, this method is indeed much faster, I agree!"
Steve looked around at his teammates and immediately understood everyone's attitude. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's make a cameo as a star thief today."
"We'd better hide first and wait until the soul gem appears before we take action. The important thing is to be careful not to let them run away!"
"Uh, but there's a little problem here." Tony stretched out his finger and tapped the red skull floating next to him, "He will definitely betray us!"
The Red Skull was in a rage because of his incompetence. When he saw them all turning their heads to stare at him, the red and expressionless skull face immediately turned from anger to joy, laughing loudly, happy that he could ruin the good deeds of his old enemies. stand up.
Everyone hated him with all their teeth, but there was nothing they could do about the Red Skull in his soul body.
"Do we still need to ambush?" Clint asked the captain helplessly.
Steve sighed, "Let's negotiate with them first. Obtaining the soul gem requires the sacrifice of one's loved one. Maybe they will retreat voluntarily after knowing..."
"Based on the known intelligence, the incoming battleship group belongs to the Dark Legion!" Friday interrupted Steve and suddenly interjected.
"Thanos is here?" Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Nebula.
"No, the time is wrong! Thanos didn't come here at this time."
Xingyun shook his head, thought for a moment, and said:
"I understand, this is the detection force, a force specially designed to determine the location of the Infinity Stones for Thanos. In my memory, the person who finally found the Soul Stone should be Black Dwarf among the five Obsidian generals."
Professor Hulk suddenly realized, "I remember him, we fought against each other during the battle in Wakanda."
"Very good, since we were able to defeat him last time, we can still do it this time!" Steve raised the shield. "Unfortunately, Thanos didn't come this time, otherwise we might be able to defeat him once and for all!"
"What? Have you decided to officially intervene in the affairs of this universe?" The little raccoon glanced at him sideways and asked coldly.
"Since we are sure that we have done something wrong before, we must correct it as soon as possible!" Steve looked around and scanned the faces of all his companions one by one, "Because our appeasement has led to the current bad consequences!"
"I'm not sure if what we are going to do next will make more mistakes, but at least we can have a clear conscience when everything in the future is unknown!"
"I don't know if we can complete the final mission in the end, but we will go all out, and even if we die during the mission, we can do it without regrets."
"Now, partners, pick up the weapons in your hands and do what our Avengers should do!"
Everyone raised their weapons, shouted in unison, and rushed down the mountain together. If nothing unexpected happens, the Dark Legion will definitely land at the foot of the mountain.
In space, the commander of the fleet, Black Dwarf, knew nothing about the ambush below and was arranging a search team to conduct a routine search.
When he conquered another planet, he learned the information about the Soul Stone from the local documents, but there was too much fragmented information, and most of it was invalid and outdated information.
As the commander-in-chief of the fleet and one of the five obsidian generals, he does not need to conduct the investigation himself at all, he can just leave all the work to his subordinates. Only when his subordinates encounter an enemy they cannot deal with, he will personally come forward.
Unlike other outlaws who followed Thanos, Black Dwarf only pledged his allegiance to Thanos as a last resort for the survival of his race. Fight for it and obtain resources, that's all. He is more like a mercenary or a wage earner, so it is normal for him to show off when his boss is not around.
All along, with the Dark Legion's infamous flag in the universe and powerful force capable of destroying the planet, they have been going smoothly on the road to finding the Infinity Stones, and they have never encountered an enemy that required him to come forward in person.
However, there is no way his shoes won’t get wet when he often walks along the river, and he hit a rough spot today.
Thanks to Friday's intelligence, the Dark Legion found no trace of the Avengers.
As soon as the Dark Legion appeared, Friday controlled the spacecraft and hid. Although Vormir is not a big planet, it is still a planet. As long as a spacecraft does not go to a conspicuous place, just find a place to hide it, and turn off the engine, no one can find it.
The black dwarf kept the mothership in the void and did not land at all. Such a large super battleship consumes a lot of energy every time it takes off and lands in the atmosphere. It is completely unnecessary. It only needs to release the small detection spacecraft to work.
Normally, you only need to stay here for a few months to know whether there is any information about the soul gems on the planet below, and then you can go back home or continue to investigate along with the information.
Space travel is very boring, and time is often measured in months or years. Therefore, the most common thing on a super battleship is various entertainment activities. After all, those who join the Dark Legion are scum more cruel than the interstellar predators, and they never take life seriously. Whether it's the enemy's or your own. I live a life of drinking and getting drunk now. Who knows which planet I will die on tomorrow.
Black Dwarf often joins in these entertainments to leave some beautiful memories in his boring process.
However, before he even picked up the wine glass today, he heard the battleship emitting a deafening siren, and at the same time, red lights flashed everywhere inside the battleship.
This is a sign of a battleship being attacked!
"Damn it!" Black Dwarf dropped his wine glass and "activated the automatic defense device."
At the same time, he asked the brain of the mothership: "What happened?"
"The detection spacecraft encountered an attack as soon as it entered the atmosphere. All seventeen detection spacecraft were shot down and the entire army was wiped out. No detected personnel survived."
Zhinao's voice is always so calm and steady.
"Immediately, the enemy broke out of the atmosphere and launched an attack on the mothership."
"The enemy's firepower is very strong, and the mothership's automatic defense device will not be able to withstand it for long." Zhinao urged.
"Open the battle channel and release the fighter group."
Black Dwarf issued the order through his brain, then picked up the weapon and rushed back to the command center. Although he does not think that any enemy can break through the defense of the Dark Legion soldiers and enter the mothership, as an excellent warrior, he will still be ready for battle at all times.
As for on-site command, there is no need at all.
These desperadoes are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They don't need many orders at all and they will automatically make the right choice accordingly. Compared with various entertainment activities, they prefer fighting with the enemy on the battlefield. The blood and screams of their enemies are their favorite entertainment.
As soon as the alarm sounded, no order was needed from Black Dwarf. All the crew members picked up their weapons and found the nearest spacecraft to start boarding. Then, under the guidance of the brain, they will enter the battle channel in order and join the battle.
"Where are the enemies? How many are there? How long does it take to eliminate them?" After returning to the command center, Black Dwarf confidently asked Zhinao.
Zhinao did not answer directly, but projected the scene outside the battleship in front of him.
In the space, a figure was seen holding a large axe, wrapped in lightning, piercing the sky, moving back and forth among the fighter planes. Wherever he goes, all fighter planes will be instantly killed and fall like rain. And all the attacks from the fighter planes fell on him, just like the breeze blowing on his face, and they couldn't even break his skin.
In addition, there are several people wearing battle armor and using various backward gunpowder weapons to fight against space fighters. This kind of weapon, which can only be used in combat within the atmosphere, poses no threat to flexible space fighters and can be avoided with just a slight dodge.
But soon, these people realized this and switched to using laser weapons emitted from their hands to attack. But the attack frequency of these people is too slow and the threat is limited.
I don’t know what materials these people’s armors are made of. Although their attack power is weak, their defense power is extremely strong. After being hit by the cannon of a space fighter, they were almost intact.
As for the orthodox enemy warship, there is only one, and its affiliation cannot be seen. It is probably owned by some loners. The firepower of the battleship was very powerful, and the casualties it caused were no less than that of the strong man holding the axe. It can be seen that the person controlling this battleship must be an ace pilot.
Black Dwarf took in the performance of all enemies with a single glance and made a preliminary assessment in his mind.
"The one with the ax seems to be an Asgardian warrior." He pointed at Thor in the virtual image and said calmly.
"Based on the information in the database, there is an 87% chance that he is the Crown Prince of Asgard, Thor. However, his appearance and size are not consistent with Thor's in the database, and the weapon is not Thor's hammer. The possibility of disguising one’s identity cannot be ruled out.”
Asgard is also a major force in the universe. The reputation of Asgard warriors as good at fighting resounds throughout the universe, and the name of the fighting nation is known to everyone. Moreover, some of the things Odin did back then still make many powerful forces fearful and dare not underestimate him.
Even the Dark Legion, a powerful force that runs rampant in the universe, does not dare to run wild on Asgard's territory easily.
However, according to the news Black Dwarf recently received from some underground channels, Odin may be dead.
There are many power systems in this world, and all kinds of weird abilities are everywhere in the universe. Abilities such as prophecy and astrology may not be able to be used on the living Odin, but there are still ways to determine whether Odin is dead or not.
Without Odin, Asgard's deterrent effect on the Dark Legion is greatly reduced.
Black Dwarf sneered, "There is not only one Thor in Asgard. Anyone who gets a weapon from Odin can become a Thor. Regardless of whether this guy is the Crown Prince Thor, I will treat him as if he is not!"
If Thanos' plan is to be realized, the Dark Army must confront Asgard. Black dwarfs know this very well. He made up his mind to kill this powerful thunder god who left his home in Asgard and eliminate an enemy in advance.
As for the enemies other than Thor, he didn't take them seriously at all.
In his eyes, the group of Avengers wearing the steel suits provided by Tony, as well as the raccoons Rocket and Nebula driving the battleship, are just Thor's men.
Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.
He was responsible for taking out Thor, while his minions were responsible for clearing out the mess.
The division of labor is clear, the arrangements are reasonable, and there is nothing wrong!
