A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 317 Vomir

"So, with this Seed of the Universe, we can create a powerful force similar to Asgard?" Tony swallowed hard and asked after listening to Levi's explanation.

That's Asgard, after all.

In the future that Livy described to him, he repeatedly emphasized the power of Odin and Hela at their peak.

“Theoretically yes, but even the most glorious empire will one day collapse. You know the fate of Asgard!” Li Wei said with a smile. “And barring any unforeseen circumstances, this thing can only be used by one person.”

Just look at Asgard... Only those of royal blood can possess inherited divine power.

“No problem. In our alliance, you and Wanda have the greatest potential, so naturally it’s best to use you to maximize the benefits!” Tony said almost without hesitation.

"Don't we need to discuss this at all?" Tony's words surprised Levi.

"What's there to discuss? You've become a god, do you think you can just abandon us old buddies?" Tony said with a smirk.

"...Forget it, it's too early to talk about that. This is just a pointer box, not the real Seed of the Universe. We can make a decision after we get the Seed of the Universe," Li Wei said, shaking his head.

"Didn't you say this thing could find the Seed of the Universe? Why don't we just go there?" Tony asked, surprised.

“It’s not that easy. Do you see these four grooves?” Li Wei asked, pointing to the grooves on the indicator box.

Upon closer inspection, Tony noticed that each of the four sides of the indicator box had a groove.

Because the box is a cube with six faces, two of which have patterns and the remaining four have grooves, he hadn't looked closely before and therefore hadn't noticed them.

"What is this?" Tony looked at Levi in ​​confusion.

“This box requires four special energy crystals to open. Otherwise, the Spartax would have found the Seed of the Universe long ago. In fact, they haven’t found even one energy crystal!” Li Wei explained.

The setting of the Instruction Box is the same as in the animated series. The difference is that in the animated series, the Instruction Box also requires Jason and Meredith's DNA as a key, meaning that only Star-Lord, their child, can actually open it.

However, in this universe, Star-Lord's father is not Jason, and there isn't even a Jason, so this setting doesn't exist.

Wait, that's not right.

Jason might still exist!
“So troublesome… Well, we have more to do now. First the Quantum Bracelet, and now the Seed of the Universe. Tsk, although we don’t have those Avengers messes you mentioned, our alliance’s business seems to be even bigger and more numerous… What are you thinking about now?” Tony complained a few times, but then noticed that Levi had fallen into thought again.

"It's nothing! I was just thinking about something else, but it's hard to say before it's confirmed." Li Wei shook his head and didn't say much. "But you're right that what you said is more serious."

"Oh... Hearing you say that, I suddenly have a bad feeling." Tony raised an eyebrow after hearing Li Wei's last sentence.

“You were right… I learned from Princess Victoria’s memories that the traitor within their ranks, the one who leaked the information, wasn’t actually a Yorigian,” Levi said with a smile.

"You mean, the Yorigian people are also being manipulated? Who is it?" Tony asked, startled.

“The Dark Order!” Li Wei said.

"Thanos???" Tony's eyes widened. "What, is this guy involved?"

“What’s so strange about it? Although the Seed of the Universe may not be as powerful as the Infinity Stones… but if we had the Seed of the Universe, we might be able to build the Rainbow Bridge… I don’t need to say how important this thing is to someone like Thanos, do I?” Li Wei explained.

Tony suddenly realized, "That's right."

Putting aside the power the Seed of the Universe could provide, if a new Rainbow Bridge could truly be built using the Seed of the Universe, it would be an incredibly useful tool for Thanos, who wanted to wipe out half of all life in the universe.

His Chitauri fleet wouldn't need to struggle so far anymore; he could simply destroy whichever enemy he wanted. If this were to happen, it would be a massive catastrophe for the entire universe.

"We absolutely cannot let Thanos get the Seed of the Universe!" Tony slammed his fist on the table and shouted.

"Don't worry, the Box of Command is in our hands now. Thanos wants the Seed of the Universe? Heh!" Li Wei chuckled and said, "Moreover, this is a good opportunity for us. If we handle it well, we can not only get the Seed of the Universe, but also destroy Thanos along with it, and obtain the Mind Stone and the Soul Stone."

Upon hearing this, Tony realized, "That's right, Levi was scheming about the Soul Stone and Thanos's Mind Stone earlier."

Isn't Thanos just delivering himself to our doorstep?

"I wonder if Thanos got the Soul Stone!" Tony remarked.

“No rush, let’s attend the Galactic Council first,” Li Wei said.

…………

Just as Levi and Tony were discussing the Seed of the Universe.

On Vormir, Thanos, accompanied by Gamora, had just set foot on this mysterious planet.

This time, however, they weren't the only ones traveling together.

Thanos's Black Order and Nebula were also present.

It's not surprising—when Thanos came looking for the Soul Stone in the original timeline, Ebony Maw was already dead, the rest of the Black Order had other things to do, and Nebula had betrayed them.

Thanos, all alone, naturally came to this place with Gamora by himself.

But during this period, the Dark Order was still alive and well.

Thanos didn't know what would happen on this planet, so he brought all his capable henchmen with him.

Then, just like in the original story, they arrived at the altar, led by the Red Skull, who was the guardian of the Soul Gem.

And to obtain the Soul Gem, one must sacrifice information that one cherishes.

Gamora and Nebula were both somewhat gloating when they heard this.

Although they hadn't rebelled yet at this time, that didn't stop them from gloating.

In their view, how could someone like Thanos have someone who loves him?

Do not make jokes!
Then they saw Thanos look at Gamora with an extremely strange and affectionate gaze after Red Skull finished speaking.

This time, not only Gamora and Nebula, but even the Black Order were stunned.

Thanos, the most fearsome figure in the entire universe—is actually shedding tears?!

"I have run away from my fate before, but I will not run away this time, even if... I have to lose you!" Thanos said softly.

“No…this is impossible…” Gamora refused to believe it. She couldn’t believe that this demon actually loved her, his adopted daughter.

“No…this is impossible…” Nebula also couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t accept that Thanos really loved Gamora and didn’t love her. What she couldn’t accept even more was that she seemed to be really going to lose Gamora, her “sister.”
