Nick Fury glanced at Tony Stark, "In the future of the normal timeline, this matter isn't considered finished. Carol will help you find Thanos and kill him. Don't forget, you are the Avengers."
Tony Stark had received a reward during his first participation in the quiz game, glimpsing a segment of his death.
Because of this, he knew the answer to this question must be A, and Nick Fury knew it too, so he also chose A.
Scott Lang sighed, "Even if we kill Thanos and succeed in avenging, those who have already died won't come back. We can only be grateful that all of this hasn't happened yet."
He suddenly shivered, "Wait... in the Time Variance Authority timeline, Thanos destroying the universe is a predetermined future. That means the mad Titan will snap his fingers!"
Hank Pym shook his head, "No, at least in our timeline, the Time Variance Authority probably can't influence it. From the moment the quiz game arrived, there is no longer a predetermined future."
Loki grinned, "But we still have to face Thanos in the end. Don't forget, he can also watch these live videos. Don't expect that madman to be scared or change his mind. I'm sure he'll only become crazier!"
Nick Fury shrugged, "Loki is right. After all, Thanos has seen that in the future, he will achieve his goal. But we can prevent all this tragedy from happening. We have the determination and will!"
Tony Stark chuckled, "You know, I've been preparing a surprise for that purple freak for a long time, just waiting for him to show up."
After Thanos was exposed in the quiz game, Tony Stark began developing anti-Thanos armour, believing that it would surprise Thanos when the time came.
At this moment, all the players heard a loud voice reminding them, [ all players, pay attention. The final question of this round of the quiz game is about to begin]
Scott Lang's face darkened at the words, "This is our last chance!"
Hank Pym said, "No, it should be my last chance, Scott, you probably won't have a chance."
On the latest scoreboard, Tony Stark was leading with 11 points. The final question had no impact on him, even if he answered incorrectly, he would still win easily. He had secured the winner's seat in advance.
Loki Laufeyson was in second place in the winners' group with 4 points, not a significant lead, so he had to answer the last question correctly, or there was a risk of being overtaken by the losers' group.
Nick Fury, with the help of the previous question, had climbed into the winners' group with a meagre 2 points, but he had to seize the opportunity of this last question.
Hank Pym and Scott Lang, as newcomers to the quiz game, had unfortunately fallen into the losers' group with 1 point and 0 points, respectively.
If these two wanted to make a comeback into the winners' group, they had to seize this last and only chance, otherwise, they would face the consequences of failure!
Out of the five players, except for Tony Stark, everyone else was tense and focused, waiting for the question.
Tony Stark winked at Nick Fury, "Seize the last chance. I won't compete this time."
Then he turned to Loki and said, "Hah, don't struggle, Loki, it's not bad to be second."
Loki smiled, "Next time, I'll beat you."
He had won a bet with Tony Stark and would get 50 points. So, even if he gave up the first place to Tony Stark, it seemed acceptable.
The players were well-prepared, and the screen displayed the final question:
[Who called Captain Marvel for help? ]
[A: Goose
B: Nick Fury
C: Ronan the Accuser
D: Maria Rambeau]
"This final question..." Nick Fury's eyes brightened, but he quickly masked his expression, "It's related to me."
He said this, but in his heart, he was already sure that the answer to this question was B, which was himself. Because he had a history with Carol Danver, as shown in the video segment. He was probably the most familiar with her among the players.
More importantly, he remembered a previous video where Thanos snapped his fingers, and turned them into ashes, but before that, he pulled out an old-fashioned pager.
In the technologically advanced 21st century, that old pager was an outdated piece of technology. But Nick Fury knew very well that it was his deepest hidden trump card.
Modified by Carol Danvers, that old pager could reach across several galaxies to call for her support, and it was a promise she had made to him.
Even during the Battle of New York when the aliens invaded, Nick Fury didn't use this trump card until Thanos snapped his fingers and indiscriminately killed half of the Earth's population.
Nick Fury in that video might not have understood the full situation, but as a seasoned and experienced agent, he must have realized that this was the most critical moment, so he took out the pager to seek Captain Marvel's help.
But Nick Fury didn't reveal this piece of history. He didn't have enough points to maintain his lead, so he kept this advantage to himself.
However, Hank Pym was also a smart man. He contemplated and said, "I think the answer to this question should be B. To be honest, among these four options, the only one I'm familiar with is B, and that's one of the reasons I chose B. Also, the most important reason is that the questions posed by the quiz game have had direct connections to us. Now, only Nick Fury is left. So, the answer to this question is most likely him. Of course, there is a certain risk to this, maybe it's a misdirection by the quiz game, but we have no other choice, we have to take a gamble!"
He finished speaking and looked at Scott Lang, gesturing for him to follow his choice.
Scott Lang shrugged, "I understand, I won't make the same mistake again. I'll choose B!"
Loki looked at them and then at Tony Stark and Nick Fury, smiling, "Alright, I'll choose B too. Now, let's see who can get the right to answer first."
