Chapter 402: Age of Ultron Ends
"Four Infinity Stones?" Captain America frowned. Besides the Mind and Space Stones, there were two more on Earth?
"No wonder Earth has become a battlefield! It's all because of these stones!" Tony had an epiphany. He had always wondered why a mere planet like Earth would become the focal point of a war that spanned the entire universe.
Now he understood. It was the principle of "a man's wealth is his own ruin by causing others' greed". Earth simply didn't have the power to hold onto so many precious items, naturally attracting覬覦.
At the same time, Thor's words also stirred up countless civilizations in the universe. Learning that the Infinity Stones were on Earth, countless civilizations were eager to take action. Fortunately, Odin's formidable reputation, built over many years, still had a deterrent effect.
These civilizations didn't dare to act rashly for the time being, but they also sent their vanguards to test Asgard's reaction.
These movements naturally couldn't escape Odin's notice, but he was powerless to do anything about it. However, he was still alive, and the Ancient One was still alive. During this period, Earth wouldn't have any problems.
As for what happened after he died? That wasn't his concern!

Tony looked at the mark on the ground and quipped, "This guy has no respect for lawns! But I'll miss him!"
Captain America chuckled. "You'll miss me too!"
"Tears of a man also have to be flicked!" Tony said, taking out his car keys and remotely summoning his car.
"I'll miss you! Tony!" Hearing this, Tony looked at Captain America in surprise.
"Yeah? Well! I'm going to take a break from the game for a while! Maybe I should learn from Barton! Build a farm for Pepper! Hopefully, no one will blow it up!" Tony said, leaning against his car with his hands in his pockets, talking about his future life.
Captain America nodded gently. "The simple life!"
"That's the realm!"
Captain America tilted his head. "For me! Family stability... The me that wanted all that was frozen for 75 years! I'm different now!"
Tony nodded, pulling open the car door and looking at him. "You alright?"
"I'm fine!" Captain America nodded towards the agents in the distance. Seeing this, Tony smiled slightly and got into the car.
Natasha remained standing in place, contemplating her future.
Captain America approached her from behind, but she didn't notice until he spoke. "You going to stand there and stare forever? Or do you want to get to work? I mean, that wall is very interesting!"
Natasha turned around and walked towards him, her expression unamused. "You and Tony had that long, heartfelt look at each other... How's it going?"
Captain America handed her the tablet he was holding. "Well! We haven't reached our peak yet!"
Natasha looked at the tablet in surprise. "New recruits are showing up!"
Captain America was noncommittal. "They're great! But they're not a team yet!"
"Then train them well!"
Captain America pushed open the door. Rhodey opened his faceplate and looked at them. Vision, who had his back to them, sensed their presence and turned around as well.
Falcon, Sam Wilson, landed from the air, retracting his wings. Wanda, controlling her magic, also descended slowly, making eye contact with Captain America.
Natasha stood silently behind Captain America, her arms crossed. Captain America looked at these members and declared, "Avengers..."

As the sky curtain faded to black, everyone felt a sense of lingering interest. Although they already knew that the Avengers would later erupt into civil war, with Captain America and Tony Stark, etc., fighting at the airport.
Tony also wanted to know why their team had fought so fiercely. Unfortunately, the sky curtain had not shown any relevant content.
This made them unable to know the cause and effect, which made him feel very uncomfortable, like a cat scratching his heart.
But they couldn't influence the behavior of the sky curtain. Tony had to shift his attention to researching new projects, such as Maya's Extremis virus, Helen Cho's nanotechnology, the Tesseract, and the Mind Scepter, and so on.
And he also occasionally had to go out to deal with HYDRA, which kept him very busy.
Originally, Tony didn't need to go out in person. He could leave it to Captain America, Rhodey, and the others. But when he thought of his father being killed by HYDRA controlling Bucky, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
He couldn't vent his anger on Bucky, but he could vent it on HYDRA. Therefore, whenever they found a HYDRA base, Tony always went to destroy it.
Meanwhile, Jane Foster was in London. Her good friend Daisy had discovered a set of very abnormal data. She notified Jane Foster, and Foster, driven by curiosity, came to an abandoned factory in London...
Thor didn't know why Jane suddenly went to London, but he always supported Jane Foster's scientific research projects. He just didn't know that Jane's trip would have a great impact on her later life.
After arriving here, Jane found it strange. There were scattered containers everywhere, and overturned cement trucks. Jane, Daisy, and Daisy's intern, actually boyfriend, Ian, walked into the factory.
Because it had been abandoned for a long time, it was a mess inside, and many birds had settled here.
A figure flashed by the corner of the wall. Daisy looked over there and muttered, "I don't want to die for science!"
Then she raised her hands and shouted, "Easy! We're Americans!"
Jane was a little speechless. "Like that'll make them like us?"
A few children walked out from the corner. Seeing that it was a group of children, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh! Just kids!"
"Are you the police?" one of the little girls asked, looking at Jane and the others.
"No! We're scientists! Well! At least I am!" Jane introduced herself.
Daisy, standing beside her, glanced at her with a slightly helpless expression. "Thanks!"
Jane looked at her a little embarrassedly.
Another little boy said, "We just found it!"
Hearing this, Jane took two steps closer. "Can I see it?"
The children looked at each other. Jane's claim to be a scientist was somewhat convincing, so they led them to the place where they had discovered the anomaly.
A cement mixer truck was parked there. A child walked up to it and, using only a few fingers, gently lifted it, making it float in the air and spin.
Jane watched this scene in disbelief, realizing that gravity had undergone some indescribable change here.

"Thor! Your girlfriend is about to get into trouble, do you want to go and see?"
The sudden voice of the narrator of the sky curtain shocked the whole world. This sudden warning made countless people curious about what trouble Jane Foster had encountered.
__________________________
Thor's expression changed, and he immediately turned to look at Tony Stark not far away: "Tony! Which direction is London?"
Jane's face also became ugly. She looked at the cement mixer truck floating in the air, and looked at each other with Daisy and others, and then chose to take the children away from here.
