When the Infinity Stones are gathered together, they can fulfill any wish of a person just like the Dragon Balls, and the scope of fulfilling wishes is larger than that of the Dragon Balls.
But compared with the almost safe and harmless Dragon Balls, the cost of making a wish with the Infinity Stones is very heavy, and people who are not physically strong enough will most likely die suddenly on the spot.
Now the four Infinity Stones have been collected by the Earth camp, and of the remaining two, the Power Stone is in the hands of Thanos, and the last Soul Stone is missing.
Lu Xiao knew that the Soul Stone was buried on a secret planet in the universe and was guarded by the Red Skull, but he had no memory of the name of the planet at all.
Before leaving Asgard, Lu Xiao specifically asked Heimdall about this matter.
Even Heimdall's eyes that see the universe can't catch the whereabouts of the Soul Stone. I'm afraid only Gamora, the adopted daughter of Thanos, knows the specific location of the Soul Stone.
Gamora should still be wandering around the universe with the galactic dance troupe led by Star-Lord, and it is difficult to catch their real-time location.
To take a step back, even if Gamora is found, it is still unknown whether she will tell Lu Xiao the whereabouts of the Soul Stone.
Moreover, obtaining the soul gem requires a huge sacrifice, and you must pay the price of losing your loved one before the soul gem can enter the physical world.
Lu Xiao will never obtain the soul gem at the expense of Yongzhen. Whoever wants it can go. At worst, she can just snatch it from him (her) when the time comes.
After ensuring that Aletheia's war factory is fully prepared, Lu Xiao plans to return to Karma Taj to test the power of other Infinity Stones.
At this moment, Thor suddenly contacted Lu Xiao from Asgard.
"Lu, there's an emergency."
In the projection screen, Thor is sitting on the throne, wearing a golden crown, and is also wearing a very gorgeous Asgardian dress. He holds the divine gun Gungnir tightly in his left hand.
Allowing the maids beside him to take care of his appearance, Thor said solemnly: "Our patrol fleet discovered a small fleet of suspected space merchant ships outside the border."
"Merchant ship?"
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes: "At this juncture? Are you pretending?"
Thor nodded: "The Queen Mother and Loki also guessed the same. We are still unable to determine each other's intentions, so the contact requests sent out were completely silent."
"I have arranged for the Asgard cruise fleet to intercept. If you are free, please come and help me... Asgard's main combat force cannot leave now."
Thor smiled bitterly and pointed with his right hand at the royal maid who was still busy beside him. It seemed that his enthronement ceremony was approaching.
According to Asgard's regulations, if you want to mobilize all the troops in the Nine Realms, you must give the order in the name of the God King.
Thor can now only mobilize some of the people directly under Asgard, the Warner Protoss of Vanaheim, the light elves of Alfheim, and even the dwarves of Nidaville. They will only obey the orders of the contemporary god-king.
action.
Before and after the new king's coronation ceremony, except for a few patrolling soldiers, most Asgardians will stay near the Golden Palace, waiting for the grand ceremony to be held.
At this time, Thor could not mobilize enough and strong manpower to go to the border to suppress the situation.
Lu Xiao thought about it and finally agreed to Thor's request.
"Well, I just finished a series of things here, so I can spare some time."
Thor breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely to Lu Xiao: "Thank you, my friend."
…
When Lu Xiao left the Avengers headquarters, Yongzhen had not yet returned to Karma Taj, and she was traveling around the world with a large number of mystics.
After telling Yongzhen where he was going through Focus, Lu Xiao opened the portal and came to Asgard again.
During the lifetimes of the Ancient One and Odin, Karma Taj and Asgard had always been in conflict with each other, fearing each other's existence.
With the passing of two veteran Nine Realms powerhouses, the relationship between Asgard and Karma Taj has obviously become closer due to the good personal relationship between Lu Xiao and the new God King Thor who is about to ascend the throne.
Lu Xiao couldn't remember how many times he had come to Asgard. After he stood on the Rainbow Bridge platform, he immediately saw the golden-armored gatekeeper, Heimdall, walking towards him.
The platform where the Rainbow Bridge is located is usually guarded by Heimdall alone. This is Odin's trust in Heimdall's strength and loyalty.
At this time, two rows of energetic soldiers stood neatly around the vast Rainbow Bridge platform, extending along the bridge towards the core city of Asgard. The people responsible for leading these soldiers were two Asgard generals who looked familiar to Lu Xiao.
.
One of them was a strong man with a red beard. He held a gleaming battle ax in his hand and stood at the forefront of the soldiers on the left with a majestic expression.
Another person stood opposite the soldier on the right. This was a blond warrior with a well-proportioned physique and a very handsome appearance. He had a sharp one-handed sword hanging on his waist, and his expression was also very serious.
"Heimdall, this is..."
"Welcoming team."
Heimdall explained briefly: "The leaders of the nine realms who have good relations with Asgard will come to participate in Thor's enthronement ceremony. This is also the best opportunity for Asgard to show its strength to its allies."
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed and he immediately understood what Heimdall meant.
'Showing off your muscles? It should be for the convenience of Thor commanding the armies of the Nine Realms as the God King.'
The two generals standing on the platform of the Rainbow Bridge commanding the welcoming team are two of the Three Warriors of Asgard, namely Volstagg and Fandral.
The last member of the Three Warriors of Asgard is named Hogan, who was born in the Warner Protoss. Not long ago, he accepted Thor's order and returned to his hometown to invite the top brass of the Warner Protoss to Asgard to participate in the ceremony.
In the original Norse mythology, the Vanir are powerful beings on the same level as the Asgard that rules Asgard. They have powerful gods such as Freya and Frey, and they have been fighting with Asgard for many years.
The Warner Protoss in the Marvel world was conquered by Asgard many years ago. The original batch of thorns disappeared under the conquests of Odin and Hela, and those who remained were transformed by Asgard.
Educational good baby.
Speaking of the Three Warriors of Asgard, Lu Xiao suddenly thought of the female warrior Sif who acted with them in Thor 1.
"By the way, Heimdall, where is your sister Sif? I have always heard Thor mention her, but I have never had the chance to meet her."
Heimdall smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Since Thor established his relationship with Jane Foster, Sif's mood has been very low."
"In the past few years, she has actively avoided areas where Thor would appear. It's natural that you won't see her because she often travels with Thor, but... this situation seems to have changed recently."
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"
"Well..."
Heimdall thought for a moment before continuing: "Well, it's about to become a foregone conclusion anyway. I just hope you don't rush to spread it everywhere."
"After Thor and Jane Foster broke up, Queen Frigga intended to identify a queen for Thor as soon as possible after he ascended the throne, and Sif was the most popular candidate."
Lu Xiao suddenly understood. He vaguely remembered that Thor and Sif were a couple in the comics. It seems that this setting will continue in this movie universe.
While speaking, Heimdall's eyes caught the advance trajectory of the Asgard patrol fleet, and he inserted the sword into the keyhole of the Rainbow Bridge.
"Lu, be prepared. I will teleport you directly to the flagship of the patrol fleet. May the light of the World Tree shine on your path forward."
