I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Tony spoke up upon hearing this.

As the Void God Cult was gradually discovered and its membership increased, the path of evolution has now branched out into many different paths, including the most effective one from the beginning.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the more members there are, the clearer the evolutionary path becomes.

"Tony, I feel like you're implying something, like you're talking about me."

Then Banner's voice rang out.

He has been a member of the Void God Cult for more than two years, but he still can't fly.

He previously thought it didn't matter if he couldn't fly, as long as he had a strong recovery ability, which, combined with his current strength, was enough.

However, after participating in the Xandar War...

This made Banner realize that not being able to fly can sometimes be a real problem.

Therefore, Banner has decided to first evolve the direction of Void Power so that he can fly, and then consider evolving his main focus.

"Where is the hidden meaning in your words? I myself only learned to fly because I used to spend a lot of time on Earth and joined the Void God Cult for several years."

Tony shrugged and said casually.

"As long as you don't say anything insinuating or deliberately mean anything to me."

"Thor, Loki, welcome to the Void Isles."

Banner walked up to Thor and Loki while talking, and said with a smile.

"You've come to Void Island too?"

Thor and Loki were somewhat surprised to see Banner.

Although they knew Banner had joined the Cult of the Void, they were unaware that Banner had also left Earth.

"Nothing's going on on Earth, and Steve is enough to keep an eye on things."

"So I came with Tony, intending to broaden my horizons."

Banner, upon hearing Thor's words, scratched his head and smiled.

After arriving in space, he not only witnessed more advanced technology but also encountered more powerful individuals, making Banner's gains quite significant.

Chapter 307 Hints

The group chatted for a while and then sat down together.

Since everyone present was from the Nine Realms, there was no sense of formality or awkwardness in their conversation. They drank the fine wine that Thor had brought from Asgard and chatted casually.

"How's your research on the power of ether coming along?"

After taking a sip of his drink, Thor asked casually.

"Although I really want to say that we have achieved great results."

"But we are currently researching propulsion engines, and we have not yet reached the stage of researching the power of ether."

Tony smiled and said upon hearing this.

"If we study the power of ether, wouldn't that allow you to develop advanced engines much faster?"

"After all, the power of ether has the ability to achieve some things that defy scientific physics."

Thor asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I’ve discussed this issue with Tony before.”

"The power of ether is the ability to make your wishes come true and to create something from nothing."

"What Tony is pursuing is technology that can be artificially created as long as there are materials."

"Only in this way can the technology of Earth be put on the right track."

"Furthermore, it's impossible to entrust the power of ether to others for safekeeping and then use it to create technology."

"And you should also know who the true owner of the power of ether is now."

Banner then offered an explanation.

In a sense, the power of ether is a shortcut that can be taken. There are many shortcuts in life, but science cannot be taken so easily.

After all, this is a technology that concerns the entire human civilization. If it is made entirely by the power of ether, there is no progress to be made.

Moreover, the Reality Stone was temporarily held by him and Tony.

But in reality, the Reality Gem actually belongs to Lord Kassadin; he simply lent it to them temporarily for research.

"It seems Kassadin is well aware of this as well."

Upon hearing this, Thor understood Banner's meaning and said with some emotion.

"It's not just something we know perfectly well; the power of Aether is also one of the Infinity Stones."

"Kassadin knows it all too well, but he never thought of taking it."

"However, he accepted it only because Odin, the king of the gods, offered it to him as a gesture of goodwill."

Upon hearing this, Tony glanced at Thor and spoke.

"Is the power of Aether also one of the Infinity Stones?"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Thor exchanged a glance with Loki and, realizing that Loki also didn't understand, spoke up.

"Tony Stark, what exactly are the Infinity Stones?"

Loki was also very concerned about the main cause of the Xandar campaign, which seemed to be related to an Infinity Stone called the Power Stone.

To be honest, neither he nor Thor knew what the Power Stone of the Infinity Stones was.

"It seems your father is hiding a lot from you."

"However, since the Nine Realms possess so many Infinity Stones, I should explain that to you as well."

"Lest you attract troublesome enemies to the Nine Realms without knowing why they're causing trouble for the Nine Realms."

"There are a total of six Infinity Stones..."

Seeing that Thor and Loki didn't understand, Tony thought for a moment and then explained.

Tony explained, and Banner added a few words from the side.

Thor and Loki also understood what the Infinity Stones were.

The true nature of the Cosmic Cube, the Mind Scepter, and the power of Aether is not merely that they possess some special abilities, as they understand it.

Rather, these treasures are even more important than divine artifacts.

Therefore, the two of them came to understand Thanos's plan.

Thanos may seem to be only eyeing the Tesseract's spatial abilities, but in reality, he is after all the Infinity Stones.

Moreover, Thanos had previously been wary of Odin, the king of gods, and dared not openly attack Earth.

However, as the second prince of Asgard, even though Loki caused havoc on Earth and managed to take away the Tesseract, also known as the Space Stone, Loki was still a powerful figure.

Odin, the king of the gods, wouldn't care too much since he believed the Space Stone hadn't fallen into outsider hands. Thanos's series of plans were all secretly calculated.

"..."

After listening to Tony's words and fully understanding them, Loki fell silent.

He had previously longed to become stronger and accomplish great things, hoping to gain the approval of his father and mother and become the king of Asgard. However, he never expected to fall into Thanos's trap.

"Don't worry about it so much. Although you were tricked, in the end, Thanos actually handed the Mind Stone over to us."

Thor saw Loki bowing his head in silence and smiled to comfort him.

"That's right. Although you made a stupid mistake and almost caused a disaster, it's not a big deal that a disaster didn't happen."

"But to be honest, it's not exactly good news that the Nine Realms possess so many Infinity Stones."

"Because for Thanos, the Mind Stone can be said to be temporarily stored in the Nine Realms."

"He would collect several at once, given the chance."

Tony didn't directly criticize Loki, but rather gave him a subtle hint.

It's impossible for him and Banner to directly say that Odin's time is coming to an end, and that the Infinity Stones of the Nine Realms will no longer have a strong enough protector.

So it was also meant to subtly suggest to the two future kings of Asgard, Thor and Loki, that they might have the idea of ​​hiding the Infinity Stones.

"It's alright, even if Loki or I become the kings of Asgard."

"Our father and mother, at most, will step down from ruling Asgard and retire to the background."

"If an enemy that we cannot deal with really appears, we will ask our father for help."

Thor, upon hearing Tony's words, showed no sign of worry and responded with a smile.

Although Thor was eager to prove his abilities, he also knew that there were some formidable enemies that he and Loki were currently unable to defeat.

Therefore, he should ask his father for help when necessary, instead of stubbornly resisting.

Tony, somewhat speechless, rubbed his hair after hearing Thor's words.

“I know what you mean, but even if we want to hide either the Space Stone or the Mind Stone.”

"The ownership of those two gems does not yet belong to us."

"So at most we only have the right to use it, not the right to control it."

Loki's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Tony's words, and he spoke up.

Kassadin seemed to know that his father's time was coming to an end, and he told Tony Stark about it.

That's why Tony Stark wanted the two of them to hide the Infinity Stones.

When Tony heard Loki's words, he didn't want to be too blunt. Considering the strength of his side, it wasn't impossible for them to deal with Thanos, who wielded two support-type Infinity Stones.

"Is that so? Then there's really nothing we can do about it."

"If Thanos really dares to attack the Nine Realms, then we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

So Tony didn't continue to steer the conversation toward hiding the gems.
