Everyone present looked at me, and I looked at you, and then suddenly, at the same time, they calmly turned their attention to a figure outside the crowd.
Stark carried the wine glass and walked through the crowd. He came to the other side of the body and faced Schiller. When he raised his head and looked at Schiller across the queen's body, the two people's eyes met for a moment, on the dance floor.
The bright and brilliant light began to dim.
The complex plant patterns on the floor tiles under the two people's feet continued to disappear, and streams of light passed horizontally and vertically, outlining the wide stage into a huge chessboard.
As time stopped flowing, everyone's expressions stayed at that moment, and the gorgeous colors on the skin and clothing gradually faded, becoming as gray and hard as stone.
"Bang bang bang bang", after a subtle sound like a heartbeat, chess pieces with different postures landed on the chessboard one after another.
On one side of the chessboard, Doom, Thor, Loki, Star-Lord, Strange, Thanos, Professor X, Sif, Odin, Frigga, Jarvis, Yondu, Rocket Raccoon, and even
Prince Alan, countless chess pieces stand proudly on the chessboard, some riding horses, some holding swords, and behind the other pieces, there is Stark standing on the throne of the king.
"I connected various forces and allowed them to take action one after another under my control, using the queen's death as a medium to achieve their respective goals."
After speaking, Stark pointed his arm forward, and with a "bang" sound, the Yondu chess piece wearing the Predator service jumped forward.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
There was a somewhat annoying vibration, and a rough hand grabbed the communicator. Yondu's face was full of irritation. He took the phone and yelled at the other side: "Which grandson is calling so fucking early? Do you understand?
Have some rules?!"
"Captain Yondu? I have an order here. I wonder if you are interested?" A mysterious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What list?" Yondu asked angrily.
"I need you to go to Centauri to help me hunt down a robot raccoon. You don't need to know what a raccoon is. You just need to know that there is something I want in the underlying agreement of this robot raccoon. The reward will be settled in energy, and a 30% deposit will be paid first.
, the faster the speed, the higher the price, how about it?”
Yondu's eyes lit up immediately, and he repeated: "Energy settlement, are you sure?"
"Of course, will you accept the order?"
"Take that, do you want to die or live?"
"Whatever you want, I just want the underlying protocol."
"Wait for my good news, rich man!"
With a "bang" sound, the hooded Doom's chess piece also jumped forward on the chessboard.
In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Stark hung up the phone and looked back at Doom, who was cleaning up the remains of a robot in front of the experimental table. He looked up at Stark and said, "Doom.
I don’t know where you got this pile of junk, but Doom has extracted the information inside as agreed."
"I have already called the interstellar pirate leader whom Loki introduced to me. I think there will be results soon. Unfortunately, these robots that were destroyed by unknown persons do not have the coordinates of the mysterious asylum in their bodies. Otherwise,
, we are already investigating there now.”
"Dum wants to know where you got the robot remains and why you are so concerned about the lunatic asylum called Half World."
Stark touched his chin and said: "I picked up the robot wreckage when the Demon God was fighting before. At that time, Jarvis conducted some independent analysis, but I didn't care about the results."
"It wasn't until some time ago that when I searched for the keywords of gods in my database, I discovered the names of the two gods Shia among the analysis results of these robots."
"Among the somewhat incomplete data of these robots, I discovered a lunatic asylum called Half World, which was the testing ground of the Shi'ar Empire. It was an evil experimental plan called the 'Cosmic Life Fusion Plan', but that was all
It’s not important, what’s important is that it mentions how the Shi’ar Empire implemented this plan.”
Doom looked down at the remains of the robot and spit out a name: "Crystal M'Kraan?"
Stark nodded, but Doom still looked at him and said, "Doom still doesn't understand why you want to investigate this crystal?"
Stark shook his head again. He turned to look at the setting sun outside the window of Stark Tower, but darkness that did not belong to him flowed in his eyes. He said softly: "Perhaps, you will know soon."
The light became dimmer, and with two "bang bangs", the chess pieces of Thor and Loki who took a step forward shook the entire chessboard. Even the statues, the Asgardians showed a kind of mythical handsomeness.
"...What do you mean my wedding can do more? Tony, don't be pretentious, I don't have time to play such charades with you." Thor leaned on the sofa and looked at Stark opposite.
Stark turned his attention to Loki. He smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the marriage of emperors has to solve more than just marriage, isn't it?"
Loki slowly narrowed his eyes. He naturally understood what Stark meant, but he still said: "This is the Asgard royal family's own matter, and we can solve it."
"Of course, but the rebuilding of the underworld that you complained to me before is not just a private matter of the Asgardian royal family, right?"
Loki and Thor looked at each other, Thor coughed lightly, looked at Stark and said: "We do intend to return Hela to Asgard, but we will not act rashly until we understand Odin's attitude.
, the father of the gods is our father after all, and we don’t want to embarrass him too much.”
"And, what does this have to do with Thor's wedding?" Loki tilted his head and looked at Stark with a frown.
"If you are willing to help me, of course I will also be willing to help you solve the problem that has been bothering you for a long time, how about that?"
"Bang!", another larger chess piece jumped out, Thanos jumped diagonally forward and stood beside Loki.
"Don't tell me that you have no interest in the fringe star areas where the Shi'ar Empire has little control, Your Majesty Thanos." Loki looked at Thanos in front of him with a smile and said: "Now there is an opportunity to make Shi'ar
The empire will be in chaos without a war, do you have any good ideas?"
Thanos' fingers touched the side of the wine glass. He lowered his eyes, then raised his eyes and looked at Loki and said: You are bolder than I thought, but you are right. Who wouldn't refuse the fat that comes to your mouth?
Are you tempted?"
There was another "bang", and Star-Lord's chess piece jumped forward and sideways, arriving behind Thanos' chess piece.
"Mr. Quill, I feel very sorry that we failed to cooperate last time in Kane Prison, but this time, I think we will cooperate happily." Thanos smiled and looked at Star-Lord Peter Quill.
"What do you want me to do?" Star-Lord looked at Thanos unmoved, and he said: "I am not an interstellar mercenary, and I will not work for anyone because of money."
"I just want to give you a chance for revenge." Thanos shook his head slightly and said, "Aren't you always worried about your mother's death?"
Star-Lord opened his eyes slightly, but he still said in a calm tone: "I have avenged my mother. The group of aliens who came to the earth to kill my mother were my uncle - Si
Sent by Prince Gareth of the Bardac Empire, I had already killed him when I returned to the Spartacus Empire."
"Do you really think that the civil strife in the Spartacus Empire was just a coincidence?" Thanos continued to ask with a smile.
Star-Lord's fist clenched, but then he loosened his arm, looked at Thanos and said: "So what if someone deliberately provoked it behind the scenes? Do you want to tell me that you can kill them all?"
"Of course not, but at least I can give you a chance to avenge your parents who have been separated for many years due to the war, and give the mastermind a grand enough funeral."
After Thanos finished speaking, the light above the chessboard brightened, and the bright light at the engine port gradually extinguished. The Shi'ar Empire's spaceship landed in the Asgard star port, and the Shi'ar Queen walked out of the hatch.
When the Queen and Asgard's God King Thor greeted each other with the etiquette of their own countries, she did not see a cold light flash in the eyes of Peter Quill, a young member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard standing behind her.
Then, everything seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. The carpet was rolled back from the feet, and the shoes with complicated embroidered patterns stepped back step by step. The guards put their ceremonial swords back into their scabbards and returned to the spaceship step by step.
Until the light and dark turned, the light and shadow overlapped, and in the office of the Holy of Holies, a pair of bright leather shoes stepped into the door. Strange, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his head, looked at Stark with a smile and said: "Tony, long time no see."
, your performance really surprised me."
"When I finish saying the important things, you have plenty of time to laugh at me." Stark tightened his suit and walked to sit across from Strange.
Strange raised his eyebrows, but Stark showed a smile, pointed to his temple with a finger and said: "Sorry, but a guy here yells not to do unnecessary things every day, so you
The next taunt may not work."
"Then what do you want to talk about?" Strange narrowed his eyes.
"Don't refute me about the big portal technology that you have been stuck on for a long time, let alone talk nonsense about the progress but not much. We all know that you need revolutionary technological breakthroughs."
Stark reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table. When Strange was about to pick up another glass of wine, Stark knocked the table with the wine glass in his hand and said: "It's time for you to stop drinking, Stephen.
Especially before doing something very important."
"Drinking won't affect my ability to use magic at all." Strange picked up the wine glass and said, "The special meditation method allows me to block the effects of alcohol. You don't underestimate the wizard so much, do you?"
Stark looked up at him and said, "I mean, it lets others know that if you don't drink, you're going to do business."
"But you haven't said what the real thing is."
"Who has the largest portal in this universe?"
Stark and Strange's eyes met, and they both saw the cold smile in each other's eyes, just like when they planned to borrow money to make a gun.
With a "crash", Frigga's chess piece moved behind Strange at some point. The Queen of Gods was as gentle as ever.
She stroked the tie with her thin knuckles, then buttoned her suit down, and stepped into the palace door with her smooth leather shoes. Frigga smiled and turned to look at Strange who walked in.
