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

Chapter 418 Assembling the Infinity Gauntlet (Second Update)

"I took four bottles of Pym Particles from the base in 1970. Tony and I used two on the way back, and now we have two left, just enough for another trip to 2014!"

Steve immediately pulled two bottles of Pym Particles from his pocket.

Previously, the four of them ganged up on Li Chuan, only to be easily overwhelmed by him. Coupled with the amazing abilities he displayed, Steve immediately felt hopeful.

Seeing that even the most composed Captain America, Steve Rogers, trusted Li Chuan so much, Hawkeye Barton also grasped at a straw and said:

"Let me go back! I know where her body is; I can definitely bring her back!"

"I can't guarantee that he can be resurrected; I can only say that I'll give it a try."

Seeing the hope on everyone's faces, Li Chuan gave them a heads-up.

Tony and Banner had already gone to the control panel to restart the Quantum Shuttle.

"Even if there's only a one in a thousand or a one in ten thousand chance, it's worth a try."

Anyway, now that we have two more bottles of Pym Particles, we have the opportunity to try this out.

As for the Pym Particles needed to return these Infinity Stones, they can be produced in large quantities once Dr. Pym returns, so there's no need to worry about these two bottles.

Hawkeye, having placed the Soul Stone down, pressed the button on his wrist, donned the Quantum Suit once more, and returned to the machine.

"start up!"

Dr. Banner activated the quantum shuttle machine, and Hawkeye's figure vanished instantly.

A second later, he reappeared, but this time he was carrying Black Widow in her quantum suit.

"Then let's get ready to begin."

Seeing that Black Widow's body had been brought back, Li Chuan had Hawkeye place it on the table next to the quantum shuttle, and then took the orange Soul Stone from Tony's hand.

"Sage Mode!"

He combined his true essence and chakra to form Sage Chakra, and then channeled it into his left Rinnegan. His Rinnegan immediately transformed into a golden Yin-Yang Rinnegan.

After burning his inner universe again and injecting the enormous spiritual energy into the Yin-Yang Rinnegan, he immediately activated the Rinnegan's ability to absorb souls in the human realm.

Instantly, a terrifying suction force specifically targeting the soul entered the Soul Gem.

The Soul Gem was affected and immediately shone brightly, actively releasing soul energy to hinder the penetration of Li Chuan's abilities.

However, although the Soul Gem possessed a certain degree of consciousness, it could not fully control all of its soul energy on its own. It only lasted for less than a minute before Li Chuan's Rinnegan forcefully broke through and penetrated its interior.

"I saw it!"

As the power of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Eye seeped in, countless souls quickly appeared in Li Chuan's eyes.

These are the souls that have been sacrificed and absorbed over the years in order to obtain the Soul Gem, as well as the souls that have been enslaved by the Soul Gem to become guardians.

After finding Natasha's soul, Li Chuan opened his eyes wide, instantly maximizing the power of his Yin-Yang Reincarnation Eye, and forcefully pulled her out of the Soul Gem in one go.

The Infinity Stones are six stones that embodied the fundamental laws of the Marvel Universe during the Big Bang, so each of them contains immense power.

However, whether or not they can unleash their power also depends on the user's skill.

On their own, apart from the Power Gem which represents the essence of power, the other gems cannot actually unleash any terrifying power.

The Soul Stone is the most special, as it is the only stone that has developed sentience.

Even so, it can't really control itself very easily.

All it can do is make itself invisible so it can't be found, then create a ritual of sacrificing souls for a bit of fun before reappearing. It can't actually roam the entire universe and do whatever it wants.

Therefore, when Li Chuan took it in his hand and forcibly used its soul-absorbing ability to rescue Natasha, it could not mobilize much power to resist.

The main reason is that Li Chuan's Rinnegan was already very powerful, and after evolving into the Yin-Yang Rinnegan, it was greatly enhanced, because the Yin-Yang eye is specifically designed for the soul.

It also has the spiritual power of a microcosm to help it, giving it tremendous staying power.

"Your body is still warm, there's still time."

Touching Black Widow's body, which was still warm, Li Chuan immediately placed her soul into it, and then activated the power of the Reincarnation Technique to merge the body and soul together again.

"Done!"

A moment later, the Black Widow, who had been lying down, slowly opened her eyes.

"Natasha!"

Upon seeing this, Dr. Banner immediately rushed forward and hugged her, followed by Hawkeye and Captain America.

Once it was confirmed that Natasha had indeed been resurrected, everyone expressed their gratitude to Li Chuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Chuan."

Tony and his three companions were even more relieved that they had brought Li Chuan back here, otherwise Natasha would really be dead.

"Although we're not from the same world, in my world you're all my friends, and it was just a matter of course."

Li Chuan smiled and shrugged, putting on an expression that said it was no big deal.

After this incident, everyone's trust in Li Chuan skyrocketed.

The world Li Chuan was in was already strange, and Li Chuan was so strong. How could they not be wary of Li Chuan after spending less than half an hour together?

Keep in mind that they have now collected all six Infinity Stones, which is incredibly tempting for a normal person.

If Li Chuan's purpose in following them wasn't to verify the truth of their words, but rather for the six Infinity Stones, then that would be a huge problem.

So it's always good to be cautious.

Having rescued Natasha, the next step is to extract the five Infinity Stones, combine them into the Infinity Gauntlet designed by Iron Man, and snap his fingers to bring back the half of humanity that Thanos wiped out five years ago.

But this is no easy task, especially with the cosmic orb containing the Power Stone; one wrong move and the entire base could be blown up.

Fortunately, Tony, who has now integrated cosmic and Wakanda technology, has already designed the corresponding disassembly and assembly machines.

So the group, carrying the six Infinity Stones, headed to the specially prepared laboratory that Tony had set up in advance.

Li Chuan naturally followed along, wanting to see firsthand just how powerful the snap of the six Infinity Stones would be.

On the way to the special laboratory at the base, Nebula walked at the back and quietly left the group.

Because everyone was focused on the synthesis of the Infinity Stones, no one paid special attention. Nebula was rather aloof and didn't talk much.

Only Li Chuan noticed, but he didn't say anything.

He knew that this Nebula was not the Nebula of 2023, but the Nebula of 2014 who was still loyal to Thanos, because both Nebulas at different times had half of their bodies mechanically modified.

Therefore, the memories in Nebula's mind in 2023 also unintentionally entered Nebula's mind in 2014 and were made known to Thanos in 2014.

In 2014, Thanos used a clever trick, capturing Nebula in 2023 and taking the Pym Particles she used for her return journey. He then used Titan's technology to mass-produce these particles and sent his entire Templar II spaceship and army into the Quantum Realm.

What followed Rhodes back was actually Nebula from 2014, who had been switched out.

She's secretly leaving the team so that while everyone's assembling the Infinity Gauntlet, she can secretly activate the machine to teleport Thanos and his army from 2014 into the Quantum Realm.

Li Chuan didn't stop him because he needed to complete the main mission, and in this matter, he wanted to let things take their natural course.
