He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 208 Advanced Completion Achieved (Second Update)

"Be careful!"

Just as the three turned to leave, a Zeta Swiss soldier swooped down from the sky in a motorcycle-mounted aircraft, unleashing a barrage of laser gun fire at Jane and her companions.

Saul immediately pulled a nearby car to block Jane and the others, then shouted:

"Mjørnir!"

Moments later, Thor's hammer, which had just been released and flown to an unknown location, flew back from afar and landed in his hand at his summons.

"boom!"

Swinging Mjolnir, Thor summoned a bolt of lightning, instantly turning the Chitauri soldier into a charred corpse. Thor then turned to Jane and said:

"It's too dangerous here. I'll escort you to safety. By the way, what should I call you, beautiful lady?"

"My name is Jane Foster. Thank you, Saul."

Jane stared at Saul's blank expression for a while before she came to her senses.

Meanwhile, on a nearby commercial street, Dr. Banner and his girlfriend Betty were running frantically through the streets, trying to dodge the laser beams raining down from the sky.

On what should have been a peaceful day off, he and Betty were taking a rare break from the lab for a date, but they unexpectedly encountered the absurd situation of an alien invasion of Earth.

"Banner!"

While fleeing for their lives, Betty suddenly screamed. It turned out that the small building next to them had been hit by the Chitauri's lasers and was collapsing in their direction.

If they were hit by this small building, the two of them would be turned into mincemeat on the spot.

As the building drew closer, Banner's Hulk bloodline, which had been suppressed by the drug, began to stir. His heart beat faster and faster, and his pupils gradually turned green.

"Roar, Hulk!"

With a roar, Banner transformed into the Hulk once again, and used his powerful body to shield Betty.

Hulk flew out of the ruins carrying Betty. He originally wanted to get away from the city because he knew that humans hated him, were afraid of him, and would attack him, but Betty's voice stopped him.

"Don't go! They need you, they need your help. This is your chance to prove yourself. I believe you can do it!"

Since the previous drug failed, Banner may frequently turn into the Hulk in the future. Now that humanity is in crisis, if the Hulk can lend a helping hand, humanity can accept the Hulk's existence.

That's why Betty wanted to stop Hulk from leaving.

Upon hearing Betty's words, Hulk, unusually, stopped leaping and looked back at the injured and wailing humans.

A few seconds later, he placed Betty in a safe corner, then roared and leaped into the midst of the flying Zeta Swiss soldiers.

Tony, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow who arrived later, along with almost all the original Avengers members except Captain America, were present due to various unexpected events.

There was just one more person, Li Chuan.

The Chitauri invasion was brought forward by nearly two years due to Li Chuan's actions. At this time, Captain America was still frozen in a large ice floe in the Arctic Ocean and would not be discovered until a year later.

Just as everyone had finished eliminating half of the Zeta Swiss soldiers, the remaining ones suddenly seemed to be paused, falling off the aircraft one by one and falling silent.

Meanwhile, at the location of the wormhole in the sky, Li Chuan's ten shadow clones, the silver dragon, and the ten rings all disappeared, allowing everyone to see the Chitauri mothership, which had been blown to pieces, in the opposite universe through the wormhole.

"We can finish now!"

Looking at the main quest's advanced completion level on the panel, Li Chuan took out the Mind Scepter and forcefully stabbed it into the energy shield formed by the Space Stone.

In an instant, the defensive shield shattered, the machine stopped operating, and the wormhole in the sky leading to the outer universe, without the support of the Space Stone's energy, slowly closed and disappeared.

The Infinity Stones are forged from the essence of six singularities containing infinite energy before the Big Bang. They are almost the most powerful treasures in the universe. If you can obtain all six stones at the same time, you can make any wish, just like Thanos.

Of course, an excessively powerful desire also requires a sufficiently strong body to bear it, otherwise it cannot be fulfilled.

Li Chuan was naturally greedy for the six Infinity Stones, given their immense power, but he didn't particularly value them.

Firstly, the Infinity Stones are external objects, and their power originates from this universe. Once they are separated from this universe, they are no different from ordinary stones.

This also means that he cannot take the Infinity Stones to other smaller worlds; they can only be used within the Marvel universe, greatly reducing their value.

Secondly, while the power of the Infinity Stones is immense, fully mastering and unleashing their energy is not something that can be done overnight.

This universe has existed for so many years, and countless forces and powerful figures have obtained the Infinity Stones, but very few have been able to truly make good use of their energy.

Only beings at the level of the Celestials, Odin, the Ancient One, and Thanos could barely manage to do that.

Even after S.H.I.E.L.D. possessed cosmic magic for so long, they've only managed to develop a few energy weapons, which are basically useless to Li Chuan now.

The only achievement that can be considered somewhat significant is Captain Marvel, born from Project Pegasus, but the credit does not go to humans, but to Mar-Vell, the Kree scientist who disguised himself as a human to conduct research.

Most importantly, without first obtaining the Power Gem, which symbolizes the source of power, one cannot unleash the full power of the other five gems.

"The Cosmic Cube is definitely not going to survive, so let's just take the Mind Scepter for ourselves."

After taking the Cosmic Cube out of the machine, Li Chuan put it and the Mind Scepter into his small cloth bag.

The Tesseract was left on Earth by Odin after defeating the Frost Giants in Norway to prevent it from being misused.

At that time, Earth's technology was underdeveloped, and Odin believed that no human could use the Tesseract to cause destruction, while staying in Asgard might attract the attention of some gods.

However, after so many years, it has become clear that humanity has been able to utilize the power of the Tesseract, and has even attracted the troublesome Thanos, so it can no longer be left on Earth.

Odin wants to retrieve the Tesseract, and Li Chuan certainly can't refuse, because he's still quite far from Odin's level.

However, he would definitely not hand over the Mind Scepter. It was a trophy he had snatched from Gamora and Nebula, so how could he possibly give it to someone else?

Crucially, he also needs to use the Mind Scepter to enhance Wanda's abilities.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the government, he doesn't need to take them seriously at all now. Today, he demonstrated the ability to single-handedly take down an entire Chitauri mothership.

Any leader with a modicum of sense would not choose to provoke him.

And he happens not to be the kind of person who would be morally coerced or bound by various conditions.
