I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"Let's see how things go when we meet Thor."

After hearing Banner's question, Tony considered for a moment and then spoke.

"it is good."

Banner understood Tony's meaning and nodded.

"But how do you know so much about her, Miss Lacey?"

Tony then looked at Lacey and asked.

"I used to work at the Bounty Tavern, where I was in charge of intelligence work."

"I have some knowledge about the origins of the various powerful beings in the universe, as well as some rumors about various worlds."

Lacey answered Tony's question matter-of-factly.

But when Lacey said this, Tony looked on with surprise.

Banner, needless to say, had very little contact with Lacey and would have been even less aware of her.

Didn't I tell you?

Seeing Tony's reaction, Lacey ran her finger along her beautiful cheek and spoke.

"No."

Tony shook his head upon hearing this, because he hadn't investigated Lacey because of Kyle's words.

He had imagined all sorts of things about Lacey's past, but he never thought that Lacey was actually an intelligence agent.

"Lassie, you know so much, but do you know who's behind the Chitauri army?"

However, it was Lacey's words that made Tony think of something, and he immediately asked a question.

These words made Banner look at Lacey, realizing that the person who had put so much pressure on Tony was the one behind the Chitauri army.

"There's no definite news on that."

"However, excluding some big figures in the universe, there are still people who fit the description of the big figures behind the Chitauri army."

Lacey shook her head and said.

"So who fits the probability?"

Tony immediately asked when he heard that Lacey could provide some information.

"Since the goal is to attack the Nine Realms, we can directly exclude Odin, the God-King, and the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme."

"Lord Kassadin is unlikely to attack the Nine Realms, so we can rule him out."

"The others include several great gods such as Eternity, Death, and Annihilation."

"However, they rarely appear and are unlikely to disrupt the situation in the universe, let alone attack Earth without a reason."

"There are only a few remaining forces that would make the Chitauri fearless of Asgard's power and dare to attack Earth."

"They are the Grandmaster of Sakaar, the Collector of the Void, and Thanos."

"However, both the Grandmaster and the Collector operate within their own territories."

"So the most likely reason why the Chitauri are not afraid of Asgard is that Thanos is backing them up."

Upon hearing this, Lacey analyzed the existence of various powerful beings in the universe and briefly explained her speculation.

Chapter 287 Enemy Confirmed

"Thanos, the one who wreaks havoc on various planets?"

Upon hearing the information provided by Lacey, Tony completely ignored the great gods such as Eternity and Annihilation, since Lacey had also said that they were basically absent from the mortal world.

"Yes, but when he destroyed a planet, he didn't completely destroy it, but rather wiped out half of its population."

"What we are pursuing is unknown."

"Although I cannot understand his behavior."

"However, given Thanos's situation, the Chitauri, who are crazy and love to conquer and destroy planets, would probably worship him."

"After all, Thanos is an upgraded version of the Chitauri, and he also admires the destruction of the world."

Lacey nodded upon hearing this and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Tony recalled some of the things Harvey had explained to him earlier.

By 2017, Earth will encounter a formidable enemy so powerful that Earth's humans and aliens from other planets will need to unite to fight against it.

If Odin and the Ancient One were present, it would be even more so.

Even though Thanos is extremely powerful, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble, but the problem is that Odin and the Ancient One will both die.

If Thanos were to travel to Earth after the deaths of the two, Earth would indeed face a formidable foe, and the entire planet could be destroyed if Thanos were to make a mistake.

"Lassie, thank you for explaining."

After Tony had already determined in his heart that Thanos was the formidable enemy, he didn't say anything, but instead smiled and said...

Banner glanced at Tony but didn't say anything more. He knew that what Miss Lacey said had confirmed who was behind the Chitauri army.

However, at present, Earth is still lacking many things if it wants to confront such a top powerhouse who is famous throughout the universe.

"You've already treated me to a big meal, this is just a small thing."

"But Tony, you must remember that you are not only a member of the Nine Realms, but also a member of the Cult of the Void."

Lacey smiled and said upon hearing this.

"Yes, when the Chitauri army comes in force, I will ask you for help depending on the situation."

Tony understood what Lacey meant when he heard her words and nodded.

The deaths of Odin, the guardian god of Earth, and the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, do not mean that Earth lacks other powerful protectors.

At least for now, there's him, Banner, and Steve, as well as Thor and Loki.

Then there's Captain Marvel, whom he's only heard of but has never actually seen on Earth.

He had Jarvis investigate Captain Marvel's background, and she was indeed an extraordinary and powerful figure.

Captain Marvel was undoubtedly the main reason why Nick Fury, that black bald guy, acted so arrogantly, as if everyone present had never seen the world.

To be honest, Tony didn't understand why Nick Fury acted like he was the most arrogant person in the world.

Captain Marvel is indeed very strong, after all, she is a character that Harvey specifically mentioned.

However, Captain Marvel has spent decades traveling to various other planets instead of staying on Earth, with virtually no sign of returning to Earth.

Even if someone else kills Nick Fury, according to Captain Marvel's activity trajectory, as long as Nick Fury doesn't have time to notify Captain Marvel...

Even if Nick Fury dies, Captain Marvel might not find out for ten or twenty years, and in the end, Nick Fury's death will simply be forgotten.

But let Nick Fury be arrogant, it's just a matter of attitude anyway. As long as he doesn't go too far, Tony won't bother with him.

As long as Nick Fury can notify Captain Marvel to come back and provide support when they encounter a truly formidable enemy on Earth, that's all that matters.

Neither Tony nor Banner mentioned anything about the Nine Realms after that, and the group chatted casually.

After the dinner, Tony took Banner directly to the Celebrity Hotel in Xandar.

Since it was an agreement, Tony certainly wouldn't hesitate to bring him here to enjoy himself.

Moreover, only after truly relaxing can one enter a state of focused work without distractions.

However, compared to Tony's first visit, Banner, who had never seen the world, was also greatly shocked by the extremely luxurious luxury hotel and the fact that the lobby was full of beautiful women.

Tony paid Banner's fees directly, explaining that he would cover all the expenses.

Banner and Tony each moved into separate villas and began living a life of decadent luxury, like royalty.

※※※※※※※

A week passed quickly.

It wasn't until Tony called and told Banner the time that Banner realized a week had passed.

"After experiencing this kind of life, it really makes you want to make a lot of money."

After Banner regained consciousness, he also expressed some feelings as he left the Celebrity Hotel with Tony.

After a week of this experience, besides enjoying himself with the beautiful women, Banner also had many conversations with the villa manager in charge of him.

Just as Tony had said, these villa managers were knowledgeable about everything, and chatting with them always made me feel respected.

It maximizes the satisfaction of people's experience and vanity.

"Once you and I have developed the latest type of propulsion engine, we will then work together to research intelligent AI."

"Money is just a number; you can experience this kind of life every day if you want."

Tony smiled and said as he saw Banner, who was expressing his satisfaction.

Research work is not only an ideal, but also requires motivation.

So when Tony brought Banner to Xandar, he immediately showed him around, giving Banner more hope and motivation for the future.

This will allow Banner to get into a better working state.

"Okay, when I get back, I'll see what I need to learn and then I'll help you."

Banner nodded upon hearing this and spoke.

Before joining the Void and mastering the Hulk within him, this kind of royal treatment was something Banner never dared to dream of.

"I'll have Jarvis help you figure out which books you should study to quickly understand the field we're going to research."

Tony smiled and said upon hearing this.

Tony and Banner then returned to the Void Island in a spaceship.

The two went straight into the laboratory building and began their work.

Tony inquired with Lalatina about the current status of the void wormhole jump technology and learned that there were no problems.

Tony immediately began developing a thruster engine, aiming to research and develop a top-tier thruster engine.

It enables interstellar warships to reach maximum speed in the shortest amount of time.
