Marvel Gashapon Maniac

1. (Scratching) It came back to life.

2. I didn't have much time for this issue's new book recommendation slot, so I've been putting it off for a while (slumped over).

3. (Continued from image) The US is truly celebrating.

Chapter 22 has finally been returned.

When Thor's reinforcements arrived, the scene was already a mess.

He stared in disbelief at the aliens lying all over the ground.

And the figure carrying a greatsword standing atop a small hill of alien corpses.

"An angel?" Thor asked instinctively.

That arrogant figure carrying a greatsword looks just like Fu You.

Fu You, who was stabbing a rock alien with his sword, paused for a moment and turned to look at Thor who had followed behind him.

"Hey? Thor, how did you get on board?" Fu You asked curiously.

Thor shook his head and carefully recognized the unshaven man in front of him as Tony.

He scratched his head in confusion, not understanding why he had misread it.

"As a scientist, we're worried that you might be in danger if you infiltrate behind enemy lines without armor."

However, Thor glanced down at the pile of aliens on the ground.

"But perhaps we are overthinking it."

Fu You quickly explained, "I play games every day to exercise, so I'm still very healthy. Taking down these small fry is no problem for me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gigantic, muscular alien kicked open the abandoned hatch and rushed out.

"Ah! So it's you who invaded the heart of Thanos's army?" it shouted as it charged directly at Fu You.

Fu You stabbed him through with a backhand sword, then kicked him away in disgust.

"Rua! Don't rush over and scare me like that!"

Thor blinked and looked at Fu You again.

Fu You thought for a moment and explained, "Actually, this is just a facade; it doesn't have any real ability."

Thor raised an eyebrow, which meant he had temporarily accepted this explanation.

"Intruder, stop here." A voice came from somewhere, and several figures blocked the way.

Four aliens dressed in different outfits blocked the two's way.

They are the Obsidian Five Generals.

Thanos's top henchmen should have been eliminated by the Avengers in the original timeline, but they are still alive and well in this timeline where Thanos exists.

Seeing the invasion, they could no longer sit still.

What kind of trouble can a scientist and a simpleton cause?

Ebony Maw, the strategist of the five generals, glanced around and decided to send his warriors to deal with Fuyou, while he went to meet Thor.

He was confident that his teammates would soon have a big advantage, and then he could outplay this big, clumsy guy.

Ten minutes later, the five Obsidian Generals were wiped out.

The scientist, using weapons and a bunch of strange and unusual skills, single-handedly killed both warriors.

After taking down the four members of the Obsidian Five, an explosion suddenly came from the Avengers headquarters, indicating that a battle had also broken out there.

Fu You frowned. Tony was on defense over there, and if he could get Tony into a tough fight... it was very likely that Thanos was launching a sneak attack without any sense of honor.

The situation here has been basically resolved, but Thanos's reserve forces have been turned into a complete mess.

"Thor! I'm leaving this to you. I need to go back!"

After saying that, Fu You immediately activated his Wind Law ability and rushed to the scene.

"Oh, no problem." Thor readily agreed, picking up the hammer to try again.

But then a question suddenly occurred to him, and he turned around to look in the direction Fu You had gone, his head full of questions.

"Isn't this a skill for angels? When did Tony learn it?"

......

Thanos is having a tough time, and so is the villain.

I thought that even if Fu You blocked the raid on the headquarters, I could still take the Infinity Stones in a prolonged battle thanks to the Herrscher of the Void core and other abilities.

But he never expected this.

At the start, the opposing team deployed a row of armored vehicles and immediately ganged up on them.

If it were just ordinary armor, the bully wouldn't be afraid, but with several nano-magic armors standing in front of him, even he broke out in a cold sweat.

With the core of the Herrscher of Binding in the hands of another Thanos, the villain can only rely on the power of other cores to contend with him.

However, Tony gradually grasped the pattern by frequently using the ability of the Void Law.

"Calculate where it appears, and give that damn thing a good blast," Tony ordered.

Jarvis began calculations, and one of the suits also began to accumulate energy at its chest.

The next second the bully appeared, and Tony immediately shouted "Fire!"

The bully was also startled and immediately mobilized the power of the Herrscher of Thunder's core to fight back.

The two energies collided and canceled each other out in mid-air.

But at that moment, a purple light suddenly emanated from the bully's armor.

The bully was taken aback and took out a purple crystal, which was shining as if it were breathing.

"Sir, a special quantum fluctuation fragment has been recorded," Jarvis suddenly reported.

Tony immediately understood what the crystal in the bully's hand was—it was the Duel Crystal that had trapped them here.

"Jarvis, record and begin calculating whether this quantum waveband model can solve the body swapping problem," Tony ordered directly.

The bully, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity to attack pass him by, and rushed towards Tony while the surrounding armor was temporarily disabled.

But then, a surprise attack occurred, and a figure descended between the two.

It is a talisman.

Fu You arrived just in time and repelled the bully with a single strike.

However, because he was using Tony's body, which was far less strong than his own, the shock caused his arms to feel sore and numb.

Tony seized the opportunity and ordered Jarvis, "Jarvis, restrain him!"

Scattered armor parts flew up and crashed into the bully, attaching themselves directly to his body.

"Damn it, what is this?" The bully tried to tear it off, but the nanomaterials were not so easy to break free from.

He was caught up in the situation for a moment.

Tony finished his calculations and handed the item to Fu You.

"I've found a way to switch back. Standing with my body is too restrictive, so I'll switch back now."

"Ah."

Fu You put on the device.

The quantum device is activated, and the conversion begins.

Fu You and Tony's consciousnesses have swapped again, but this time Tony is trying a completely new algorithm. If successful, they can get out of this awkward situation.

Fu You reopened his eyes and regained consciousness.

I raised my hand and pinched it. Hmm...it worked.

“The crisis is over, sir and madam,” Jarvis replied in the communications.

The switch between the two has been completely broken, and Fu You has returned to his own body.

The bully, who had been entangled, broke free of his restraints and his expression changed when he saw the two people standing together.

"Don't panic, we still have a big advantage," the bully reassured himself.

Iron Man's armor is still on the front lines, so he's essentially back to fighting one-on-one.

That should have been correct, but then several sounds of things hitting the ground came from behind.

Several suits of armor landed to the side, revealing their weapons and pointing them at the bully.

The bully's expression instantly turned as black as if he were some kind of superhero.

Fu You shrugged: "Why can't I make something? Why can't I use something that's already there?"

The armored warriors swarmed around them.

1. (Scratching head) Bubbling up

2. It's a bit late, yawning. Goodnight.

3. (See attached image) Extremely unethical.

Chapter 23 Accepting the Invitation (Revised)

The bully used his spatial ability to teleport again, but it was too late to defend himself.

The combined attacks from the armor and the runes left him exhausted and unable to defend himself, and the core of the Herrscher of Restraint was not in his possession, leaving him unable to counter these armors.

"Wait a minute!" the bully suddenly said.

Fu You was a little confused about what the other party wanted to say, so he slashed at them with his sword.

"Why are you still attacking now? Wait a minute!" The bully rolled away to dodge the attack.

"There's no rule that says we have to stop, is there? I can beat you down first and then we can talk, take this!"

The bully was cursing under his breath; this young man had no sense of martial ethics.

We were originally planning to discuss the terms, but now we can't delay any longer.

He pulled something out and threw it on the ground, where it emitted a purple light.

Fu You, fearing it might be a bomb or something, stopped in his tracks.

"Hmph. This is the Duel Crystal. Take it if you want to study it." The bully snorted and said, "They were just using me to trap you. Now they should all be waiting for the winner to be decided."

The bully's plan was simple: after obtaining all the Infinity Stones, he would defeat the Avengers and then, with the Infinity Gauntlet, he could challenge the Gray Zone.

But now it seems we won't be able to get the Infinity Stones.

At this point, a victory or defeat would not benefit either side; it would only benefit the opportunist.

While everyone was looking at the crystal, the bully activated the Void Core and left the battlefield.

He chose to temporarily withdraw his troops, leaving the other side to worry about it.

"Tony! Thanos's army has retreated!" Captain's voice came through the comms.

The Avengers cheered as they defeated Thanos's army.

However, those present were far from happy, as the bully's words had plunged them into an even greater crisis.

Tan Lesheng came out of the laboratory; he had just witnessed the whole thing.

He picked up the crystal and beckoned the two of them into the laboratory.

After analyzing the crystal on a computer, Tan Lesheng arrived at an expected conclusion.

“Looks like we’ve already blocked the entrance.” Tan Lesheng pushed up his glasses and made a decision.

Do you still have your invitation?
