"Is that a silver shell?"
"What is that thing?"
Tony Stark and the others were momentarily stunned by the appearance of this item. It was now being presented alongside the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Stone.
What was so special about it?
In addition, the red gem floating around the White-Clad Hero also caught their attention.
"Could that be another Infinity Stone?" Banner hesitated to ask.
Upon hearing this, Natasha Romanoff and others who shared the same suspicion were shaken.
"That red gem, combined with the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Stone, makes three of them, right?"
"The White-Clad Hero has three Infinity Stones?"
Understanding the immense power each Infinity Stone held, their faces were filled with astonishment.
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters:
Nick Fury's expression darkened slightly.
Even one Cosmic Cube was dangerous in his eyes. Now, the White-Clad Hero possessed three of them?
"These three dangerous items should not be in the hands of one person!"
As he thought about this, he wasn't alone. Various factions, including HYDRA and those aware of what these three items were, shared the same sentiment of wanting to possess them but also recognized the danger.
Under the gaze of billions of people and various factions, the four items—like satellites—revolved around the White-Clad Hero.
Unexpectedly, instead of reaching for the three Infinity Stones, the White-Clad Hero grasped the silver sphere.
Tony Stark and the others were perplexed by this action. Why was he choosing this item instead of the Infinity Stones?
Suddenly, under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, the White-Clad Hero opened the silver sphere.
In the next moment, a purple light burst forth, and a gem emitting a purple glow floated out of it.
"What is this?"
Seeing the purple gem, Tony Stark and others were immediately intrigued. A thought flashed through their minds.
Could this be another Infinity Stone?!
As they pondered this, Thor, who had been nervously watching the screen, stood up in surprise.
Thor exclaimed, "The Power Stone?"
"What? The Power Stone?" Stark and the others were shocked.
They had heard of the six Infinity Stones, one of which was the Power Stone, but they never expected to see it today.
"Where did the White-Clad Hero get this gem?"
"Isn't it said to be a cosmic treasure from the dawn of the universe? How did he manage to acquire four of them?"
Clint Barton, Banner, and the others were stunned.
Thor murmured, "That means my brother now possesses four Infinity Stones."
Tony Stark initially thought Thor was simply expressing amazement and nodded in agreement. "It is indeed hard to believe…"
Banner and others also nodded in agreement.
However, Thor shook his head and said, "You don't understand what this means."
Stark and the others were confused.
"What could it mean? It's just four Infinity Stones."
"While the Infinity Stones are unique and special, we can't be that clueless about them," they replied.
Seeing their expressions of shock turning to skepticism, Thor nodded and said, "I know you don't believe it, but this is what my father told me. I trust my father would not lie because there is no need to."
"Each Infinity Stone has immense power in its own domain, and alone it's not that impressive. But when combined, they wield unprecedented power!"
"My father also mentioned that it is incredibly difficult to gather all six stones. He once tried but ultimately had to give up."
"Just like these six stones are cursed to be difficult to assemble…"
Listening to Thor's detailed explanation, even Tony Stark, who was initially skeptical, fell into silence.
Considering Thor's words, they began to realize that the combined power of the six Infinity Stones could indeed accomplish unimaginable feats.
They had seen the power of the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Stone and understood the terrifying force they held. Imagining what might happen if all six stones were united was overwhelming.
But then a troubling thought struck them.
"Didn't Thor say it's hard to collect them all? The White-Clad Hero has already collected four."
"Only two more to go…"
Gasps of shock filled the room as Tony Stark and others were overwhelmed.
The thought of this terrible scenario left them speechless.
At that moment, they could only hope that this information was false and that the White-Clad Hero would not succeed in gathering all six Infinity Stones.
As they struggled to calm their astonishment, Captain America's phone, placed on the table with speakerphone mode on for communication with Nick Fury at S.H.I.E.L.D., broadcasted Thor's revelations.
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters:
Nick Fury was deeply unsettled by the secrets of the Infinity Stones. After some time, he came to a decision.
He must prevent the White-Clad Hero from acquiring the remaining two Infinity Stones!
If possible, the four Infinity Stones already in his possession should be destroyed or stored in a secure location. Otherwise, if they fell into the wrong hands and were used, the consequences could be catastrophic!
At this moment, even Odin, Frigga, and Heimdall in Asgard were stunned by the sight of the Infinity Stones surrounding Syd.
