After the emergence of the quiz game, Thanos underwent a profound transformation in his mindset, shifting from initial caution and rejection to a strong desire to participate.
His initial concern was that the mysterious forces behind the quiz Game would assist the Avengers and so-called superheroes against him. Given the immense power displayed by the quiz Game, he believed he had no chance and might be crushed like a mere ant by them.
But Thanos no longer saw it that way.
"Yes, the future revealed by the quiz Game did disrupt my plans. Earthlings and Asgardians have indeed benefited from it."
"However, this doesn't mean that the quiz Game is siding with them!"
Thanos gradually realized that the Quiz Game was a neutral entity, or perhaps an amusement park created by omnipotent gods to oversee everything from above.
Whether it was him or the superheroes, perhaps they were all just actors for the amusement of the god-like beings.
The Avengers and superheroes could gain rewards from the quiz game, and Thanos believed he could also enhance himself through it!
Unfortunately, luck was not on his side, as he was never selected as a player in the quiz game.
When Nebula was chosen as a player in the quiz game, Thanos saw an opportunity, especially when he saw on the screen that Nebula had obtained the time controller. He was naturally thrilled.
At that moment, he told Ebony Maw that their time-travel plan could be put into action.
Thanos didn't plan to use force but intended to negotiate with Nebula. From his perspective, he still had some emotional attachment to his adopted daughters, even if the process of raising them as formidable warriors was brutal, it was ultimately for their own good.
From the perspective of others, his fatherly love was abnormal, but he did not see it that way, and normal people could not understand the thoughts of a madman.
Nebula's use of the time controller to travel through time was too rapid, and the controller's power exceeded the expectations of Thanos, Ebony Maw, and others.
Facing the gaze of the Black Order, Thanos looked around and said coldly, "We'll talk about Nebula later. Now, it's time to show our enemies what we're capable of!"
Above Thanos's flagship, countless spaceships were suspended, including those belonging to certain righteous organizations, marauders, and other cosmic overlords.
Everyone had a unanimous goal - to take down Thanos!
Since the revelation of Thanos's future in the quiz Game, he has become a street rat. Even among villains, he wasn't well-received. Traditional villains sought power or vast wealth and resources. They didn't want to destroy the world; they wanted to rule it.
But Thanos, this madman, had ideals and ambitions. In a way, his future mad acts could alleviate the problem of resource scarcity and benefit the masses, provided they survived the snap.
Undoubtedly, Thanos, the madman with ideals and ambitions, was an absolute anomaly among villains, and he was a target that had to be eliminated.
For the righteous organizations, there was nothing more frightening than Thanos getting hold of the Infinity Stones, especially after the quiz Game revealed his future.
So, during this time, Thanos had been keeping a low profile. He knew he had made many enemies, and until he gathered all the Infinity Stones, he wasn't truly invincible.
Now that he had shown himself, he was immediately besieged, and surprisingly, both the righteous organizations and the evil ones collaborated silently, joining forces against him.
Thanos didn't back down and ordered a counterattack. Soon, a great battle began amidst the roar of cannons.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Scott Lang had returned to prison.
As soon as he appeared, official personnel came to take him out, and Dr. Hank Pym was waiting outside.
"From now on, you're free but remember not to engage in any petty criminal activities. Even if you're a so-called superhero, we will still arrest you!" The officials were stern when releasing him.
Scott Lang shrugged, "I'll tell you, I won't be doing any more thieving."
After losing the first round of the Quiz Game, his theft ability had been stripped away. He also lost the second round of the game, but he still didn't know what he had lost, which worried him.
Upon meeting Dr. Pym, he immediately sought his help, "Doctor, you probably watched the recent quiz Game. I lost and had some ability taken from me, but most importantly, I don't know what I've lost! So, I need your help now!"
Dr. Hank Pym poured him a cup of coffee and calmly said, "Do you know what happened outside when you were playing the second round of the quiz Game?"
Scott Lang shook his head in confusion, "I only know that I was like a monkey, entertaining the entire universe. What happened outside?"
Dr. Hank Pym didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "Pym Industries has been restructured. My ambitious apprentice, Darren Cross, has already been dealt with by the Avengers. You see, I'm now the actual head of Pym Industries."
He couldn't help but look pleased with himself.
Nick Fury had personally visited not long ago, accompanied by several important officials, inviting him to return to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Clearly, after the revelation of Scott Lang's future in the quiz Game, especially the subsequent time-travel operations carried out by the Avengers using Pym Particles, it had attracted the attention of the authorities.
Dr Pym had gone from being a retired nobody to a hot commodity, and the government was sincerely hoping he would continue to serve the country.
