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

Chapter 278 The Spaceship Takes Shape (Third Update)

It lasted for a full five minutes.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Tony's decision.

Finally, Tony slowly lowered the pulse cannon in his hand and stepped out of his Iron Man suit again.

Seeing Bucky's bloodshot eyes and his desire to die, he punched Bucky in the stomach with all his might, causing Bucky to instinctively bend over in pain. He then followed up with a series of attacks, and only after venting his anger did he say fiercely:

"Killing you would be too easy. Since you've committed so many crimes, you should live and atone for them!"

After saying that, he pointed to Steve, who was floating in the air:

"You old popsicle, if I hadn't seen you floating there, I would have punched you too!"

"If you want, I can choose not to fight back."

Seeing that Tony finally let Bucky go, Steve finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if it meant getting beaten up, he would be willing to give his life to save Bucky.

If Carter was the most important woman in his life, then Bucky was the most important man.

At this moment, Pepper Potts, who had been being held back by Wanda, also ran over and hugged Tony, comforting him.

"The camping trip is over, everything's settled, let's all go home!"

Seeing that Tony had clearly given up on killing Bucky, Li Chuan smiled and released Steve from his control.

He had previously told Steve that the outcome depended on Tony's choice, which is exactly what it is now.

However, Tony had actually anticipated that Bucky would let him go.

The reason why the two eventually broke up in the original story was largely due to Zemo's scheming and plotting, which caused some misunderstandings between them.

In addition, the two sides had already split and fought because of the Sokovia Agreement.

At that time, Tony didn't believe that Bucky was controlled by Hydra and killed his parents; he just thought that Steve was protecting Bucky.

In reality, given Tony's personality, as long as Steve doesn't stop him, Bucky won't resist either. Even if Bucky wasn't controlled by Hydra but was a real killer, Tony wouldn't actually kill him.

At most, they will be sent to prison to face legal judgment.

This is why Li Chuan wanted to control Steve first. Although Steve seemed to be protecting Bucky, he was actually only provoking Tony's anger, and the two would definitely fight.

If Bucky sees Steve injured, he will definitely join the fight, which will make Tony even angrier, and the situation will completely spiral out of control.

"Chuan, thank you for reminding me at the last minute. We'll be going now!"

Tony thanked Li Chuan, then, with Pepper in his armor, he was the first to leave.

Although he decided not to kill Bucky, it didn't mean he was willing to stay with the murderer who killed his parents.

After Steve landed, he helped Bucky up, retrieved his shield, and thanked Li Chuan.

The process was very different from what he had imagined, but fortunately the ending was good, so he was still very grateful to Li Chuan for his help.

Moreover, when he heard Li Chuan's last words of advice to Tony, he understood Li Chuan's good intentions in trapping him.

What he didn't know was that if Tony really wanted to kill Bucky, Li Chuan wouldn't interfere and would actually help Tony erase the memories of Captain America and the others.

In terms of stance, Li Chuan naturally leans more towards Tony; what he said was not just a reminder, but also a promise.

After Steve helped Bucky onto the helicopter and left, Thor also flew away with Jane. They thanked Li Chuan for the delicious barbecue and beer he provided.

A week after the barbecue and camping trip, Li Chuan had just finished discussing the cultivation of shadow clones and was absorbing various experiences from them when the communicator on his waist suddenly rang.

"Uncle Li, is there something you need?"

"Young Master, those two aliens you sent to the base last time asked me to tell you that the spaceship is almost finished. You can come and take a look when you have time."

Uncle Li answered from the other end of the phone.

The base in Sokovia is managed by the loyal Uncle Li.

Over the past few years, Uncle Li has gained a lot of experience.

Uncle Li was originally a very skilled international mercenary. He almost died during a mission, but was later saved by Li Chuan's father.

To repay a debt of gratitude, and also because he was tired of the life of fighting and killing, he changed his name and became the steward of the Li family.

After Li Chuan's parents died, he protected Li Chuan. If it weren't for him, given Li Chuan's previous personality, he would probably have either squandered the family fortune or been kicked out of the house by his relatives to fend for himself.

Unexpectedly, Li Chuan, who seemed hopeless, suddenly awakened, not only revitalizing his family but also becoming increasingly unfathomable to him.

You said things were fine when we were in Sokovia, it was just some underworld stuff, which was all within his understanding.

But then it got more and more outrageous, with scientific research, genetic evolution, extremist virus modification, magic, and finally even two aliens were sent.

Now he feels that all he can do is help Li Chuan manage the base.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Upon hearing Uncle Li's report, Li Chuan's eyes lit up. After hanging up the communicator, he immediately used the door key to send the message over.

Thanks to the efforts of his shadow clones over this period, his alchemy skills have improved considerably, and he is now able to make door keys on his own.

Therefore, all of Li Group's branch offices in cities around the world now have access keys that he has arranged in advance, and the base in Sokovia is no exception.

Although the door keys he's currently making are still relatively basic, they're still enough to teleport him alone.

Using the key, Li Chuan arrived at the Sokovia base and, led by Uncle Li, quickly reached the base's science experiment hall.

Because Li Chuan had modified this hall with the Seamless Stretch Spell, the space inside was very large, enough for the Hydra scientists he had gathered to conduct various experiments and tests.

The Sokovia base was primarily used for biological research and experiments, and things like Enhancer One, the modified Hulk gene, and the Extremis virus all originated here.

Later, they captured Ivan, a brilliant scientist who was slightly inferior to Tony, and together with a series of scientists from Hydra, research in technology and weapons gradually began.

Anyway, he's rich, so diversifying his business can only be beneficial, not harmful.

The last time the Chitauri invaded, they were able to breach the Chitauri command carrier thanks to the space protective suit made by the science team.

"Built according to your requirements, this spaceship is now basically ready to leave Earth and make an interstellar jump to the nearest advanced civilization planet."

But are you really sure you don't need to load some weapons onto the spaceship? You know, traveling in space isn't exactly peaceful.

Upon seeing Li Chuan appear, Nebula, who was discussing with Ivan and other human scientists, pointed to the enormous, octopus-like spaceship in the center of the hall and spoke.
