Player Tony Stark had constructed the MKX, which appeared to be a technological-style robot, but in reality, it was far from scientific!
The methods employed by Player Tony Stark were quite perplexing as well. It was as if these normal scientists followed scientific principles with their knowledge and methods. In contrast, in the hands of Player Tony Stark, scientific principles seemed to actively cooperate with him!
"Well, perhaps he can achieve this, but it's definitely not something that can be done in a day or two, maybe two or three years, or even longer," Hank Pym shrugged, showing skepticism toward Player Tony Stark. Besides his bias against the Stark family, as a veteran scientist, he had a deep-seated aversion to this kind of dark technology using ancient scientific knowledge.
However, at that moment, they heard an exclamation, "Oh my god, this can actually work. This is unscientific!"
Both of them curiously looked up and saw that the one exclaiming in astonishment was evidently Tony Stark from this timeline. They stood together, and it was quite easy to distinguish them.
Player Tony Stark looked younger, and his playboy tendencies and charismatic aura were even more pronounced. Meanwhile, Tony Stark of this timeline, after going through numerous ordeals, had gained more composure and a touch of world-weariness.
But at this moment, the composed Tony Stark couldn't help but be amazed, while Player Tony Stark, on the other hand, appeared quite calm, or you could say he had become accustomed to it.
Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "See, just like I said earlier, isn't this simple?"
"Simple, my foot!"
Hank Pym and Dr. Banner also approached, wearing expressions that seemed to say they had seen something incredible.
Player Tony Stark made it sound so effortless as if combining different energy elements was as easy as making a simple dish by mixing eggs and tomatoes without using any heat or cooking utensils.
But in reality, the difficulty involved was probably like trying to make a hot dish by mixing eggs and tomatoes without using fire, heat, or any cooking utensils!
How on earth did he manage to do it?
"You actually synthesized new particles... Miracles do happen!" Dr. Banner exclaimed, staring at the monitor screen in disbelief.
Hank Pym even took off his glasses and wiped them vigorously several times before putting them back on for a closer examination. His expression became increasingly astonished.
Player Tony Stark had actually done it. He had merged Pym Particles with the energy of the Infinity Stones to create new particles!
He couldn't help shaking his head, saying, "Even though I've seen it with my own eyes, I still want to say - this is not science!"
Player Tony Stark casually replied, "The definition of science isn't determined by us. In any case, I've got what I wanted. Now, I can build the Anti-Thanos Armor!"
To unleash the combat potential of this new particle, a carrier was needed, and the Anti-Thanos Armor had always been on Player Tony Stark's agenda.
After recovering from their shock and witnessing his miraculous, or rather, miraculous-like actions, Dr Banner and the others, though still somewhat skeptical, couldn't deny his claims.
Player Tony Stark began constructing the Anti-Thanos Armor, while Thanos remained oblivious to it all. He had only just learned about the defeat of the Alien army on Earth, and his information was delayed. He had been busy searching for the Soul Stone.
In addition to that, the Black Order led by the Ebony had suffered a devastating defeat on Earth, with all their warships destroyed. Player Iron Man had special devices preventing them from sending information out.
So, it wasn't until now that Thanos learned that all his generals and advisor had either left him or died on the small planet Earth.
Sitting high on the throne of his warship, the advisor who used to serve him was nowhere to be seen now. Several adopted sons and daughters had left or died, leaving him truly alone.
With his left hand, he touched the glove embedded with three dazzling gemstones - the Infinity Stones: Power, Reality, and the recently acquired... Soul!
Thanos's gaze focused on the orange Soul Stone. Despite the annoying interference from those pests, he had still obtained the most mysterious Infinity Stone.
Gamora had once claimed that, aside from herself, no one else knew the whereabouts of the Soul Stone. However, nothing is absolute.
Thanos, by relying on the connection between the Infinity Stones, along with other clues, had spent considerable time and effort. In the end, he had located the Soul Stone.
The Soul Stone was unique among the Infinity Stones. To obtain it, a sacrifice was required. In the normal timeline, Thanos had sacrificed his beloved daughter Gamora to acquire this infinity stone.
But this time, Gamora had been rescued to Earth, and Thanos was alone when he reached Vormir, with only the Red Skull guarding the Stone.
At the time, Thanos had casually thrown the Red Skull off a cliff, as he had nothing to lose. This, of course, didn't please the Soul Stone, as it required a sacrifice from a person who truly loved someone. The Red Skull clearly didn't meet the criteria. However, this also made Thanos realize that the Soul Stone seemed to possess its own consciousness.
So, he had attempted to negotiate with it, and in the end, he had obtained the Stone through a rather unconventional deal with... Soul!
Aside from his beloved one's soul, he had to sacrifice his own soul!
In other words, after obtaining the Soul Stone, Thanos' life was now on a countdown. He was willing to sacrifice anything, even himself, to achieve the "great" ideal and obsession of balancing the universe.
"Now, only three more to go..."
Thanos clenched his fist and looked at the three empty slots on his glove. However, the good news was that the remaining three Infinity Stones were all on Earth, saving him the trouble of searching further.
He was about to order his warship to head for Earth when suddenly, the three Infinity Stones resonated, and their positions changed.
After a moment of silence, Thanos smirked, "Titan? How courageous!"
He sensed that the remaining Infinity Stones were all on his homeworld, and it was evident that this was a trap set by those superhero pests.
However, Thanos felt no fear. He stood up from his throne, donned his armour, and grabbed his double-edged sword. In a commanding tone, he ordered, "Set course for Titan!"
In space, the colossal warship began to change course and accelerate toward the location of Titan. The final showdown was about to begin!
