"Yes," Natasha exclaimed in surprise. "We were still discussing whether to give you a surprise, but we were suddenly enveloped in a beam of light and sent here."
Steve Rogers congratulated, "Tony, congratulations on winning the last round."
"Haha, it's only natural, isn't it?" Tony Stark laughed. "Steve, I have to tell you in advance, I won't go easy on you this time."
Steve Rogers also smiled, "Of course, neither will I."
At this moment, a prompt sounded from above.
[All players are in position. This round's quiz mode is Team Competition. The winning team will receive a mysterious grand prize, while the losing team will face punishment: deduct all points or randomly forfeit one ability, you can choose one of the two.]
Natasha furrowed her brow and looked at Captain America and Iron Man, "Well, it looks like you'll get your wish. If it's like the last round, where only two people were eliminated, this time we'll have to eliminate three!"
Tony Stark shrugged, "That's not my concern. The quiz game's modes are not set in stone. By the way, how about teaming up with me? I promise to lead you to victory!"
Natasha looked at him, then at Captain America, with a hesitant expression.
Scott Lang raised his hand immediately, "Pick me, pick me!"
Tony Stark rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright, I'll allow this baggage to join my team, don't get too excited. You have to promise to listen to me, okay?"
"No," Scott Lang chuckled, "I want to join the captain team, sorry Tony, but I can't join your team. After all, he's the captain."
Previously, he didn't know who the new player was, and besides Tony Stark, he had no choice. Now that he saw Captain America, he immediately switched sides.
As everyone knew, Captain America was a symbol of honesty, reliability, and justice. It wasn't that Tony Stark wasn't reliable; it's just that Scott Lang couldn't tolerate his sarcasm.
Tony Stark grumbled, "Well, Scott, you'll regret your choice soon."
Steve Rogers said understandingly, "Tony, don't forget during the Civil War; both Scott and Natasha helped me."
Tony Stark shrugged and looked at Thor and Nebula, who were silently observing the situation. "Thor, Nebula, it seems we'll have to form a team."
Thor said proudly, "Tony, believe me, I will lead you to victory!"
Nebula, on the other hand, gave them a cold glance. "Don't call me that way. I'm not the one you see."
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow, "Haven't you already seen those futures? Don't tell me you're still following that madman Thanos!"
Nebula just stared at him coldly and didn't answer the question.
As for the quiz game's live broadcast involving the multiverse, she had watched all related videos without missing a beat. After all, some of those videos also involved her future.
When Peter Quill participated in the quiz game, he revealed a lot about her and her "sister" Gamora's future.
The direct consequence was that Gamora had to betray Thanos, and Nebula had to take on the mission of capturing Gamora to prove herself to Thanos.
Thanos told her that unless she brought back an Infinity Stone or Gamora, she would be disassembled into parts slowly!
While Gamora could escape, Nebula couldn't because Thanos still held the reins to control her. Due to her consistent losses to Gamora in their competitions, she had been turned into a cyborg.
The reason Thanos was comfortable sending her out on missions was also because of this. Ever since Nebula's future had been exposed through the quiz game, Thanos had placed a contingency inside her.
Even if Nebula ran far away, as long as she had disloyalty, she would be hunted down!
However, at this moment, after being transported to the Eternal Space, Nebula sensed that the control mechanism Thanos had left inside her seemed to be ineffective.
She didn't know if this was temporary or permanent, but she understood that this might be her only way to break free from Thanos' control.
However, without experiencing the things that future Nebula had gone through, even though she saw some glimpses of the future, Nebula at this moment wasn't ready to let her guard down and consider the Avengers and others as teammates.
Tony Stark spread his hands helplessly, "I don't mind having baggage in the team, but having a thorn or an enemy would make things difficult."
Steve Rogers said sympathetically, "How about this, Nebula, Scott, and I form a team, while Tony, Thor, and Natasha form the other team. That way, it's fair for all of us."
"Haha!" Tony Stark didn't accept his offer, though. "Steve, are you underestimating me? Do you think you two can easily beat the three of us?"
Steve Rogers sighed, "No, I don't think that way."
In the end, their argument was cut short by the quiz game: [Team allocation complete: Team A players Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, Nebula, Team B players Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Scott Lang.]
"Thanks a lot! We haven't even discussed this!" Tony Stark complained.
Nebula coldly stated, "Why do we need two teams? I don't need teammates!"
However, the quiz game's prompt left no room for doubt: [Team allocation complete, the first question is about to begin. Both teams Please listen carefully]
Now that it has become a reality, Tony Stark found himself compelled to remind Nebula: 'Listen, I don't require your assistance. As long as you refrain from causing any disruptions, everything will be fine.'
Nebula responded with a disdainful snort, too disinterested to engage in an argument.
Before long, the first question materialized on the holographic screen: [Among the following choices, who cut off Thanos's head?]
[A: Thor
B: Captain America/Steve Rogers
C: Hulk
D: Iron Man/Tony Stark.]
Seeing this question, players and viewers watching the live broadcast couldn't help but exclaim. They had seen the immense power of Thanos, who had collected all six Infinity Stones. After wearing the gauntlet, he was nearly invincible. Who could have killed him?
A snap of the fingers wiped out half of the universe's life. In the previous videos about Thanos, everyone had vividly felt the madman's power.
"In the end, Thanos was killed..." Natasha sighed. "Honestly, no matter who did it, he deserves respect from everyone."
