The Collection of The End

——Marvel, 2011——

New York, Stark Tower.

Regular members of the Avengers, non-staff members, and family members are gathering here.

Stark is working on his new suit, Bruce Banner is instructing Peter to "do his homework", and Captain America is lifting dumbbells. Natasha and Coulson have a lot of things to deal with and are away for the time being.

The most eye-catching thing is the life-size diamond statue of the "White Queen" located in the middle of the lounge. It is personally guarded by two "gods" from Asgard.

"Jarvis, where are the analysis results?" Stark asked.

"Communications were severely disrupted at that time, sir," the artificial intelligence butler responded: "My clones at each terminal were unable to contact the host in Stark Tower. Without resources, they could not do anything. many.】"

"You should have seen the situation at that time, Jarvis. Do you think that that black mud-like thing or that big brown guy wearing fake and shoddy products, who knows about signal interference?"

"I did not detect any communication interruption during this communication interruption, sir.]"

"...I don't remember installing tongue twisters or guessing functions for you."

"I am stating the facts, sir," Jarvis said: "The communication records show that all terminals have always maintained contact with the host. Each terminal repeatedly sent 'reconnect' requests and the host responded because it could not get a response from the host. 'Connection OK' response, the recording time is consistent with the time of communication interference.】"

"But in fact, neither party 'saw' this content at the time?"

"Yes, sir, from the time Mr. Peter was attacked to the time Malekith was destroyed by Mr. Thor, both the terminal and the host ignored the received communications," Jarvis replied: "According to your prior According to the set conditions, I have classified the cause of this failure into the 'Damn Magic' database.]"

"Great, what about coping methods?"

"If you encounter communication interruption again, you may try to pick up Mr. Thor's 'Thor's Hammer'," Jarvis' tone was rarely uncertain: "In most myths and legends, thunder is It has the function of 'cleansing away evil spirits'.】"

"Tsk, no chance. The blond idiot was so happy to be able to pick up the hammer again that he would even hold it while eating and sleeping. That scene, in Rachel's words... was eye-catching."

——

"Hehe, Mjolnir, hehe"

In the corner of the common room, Thor, the God of Thunder, was smiling at the Thor's hammer placed on a velvet cushion in a display cabinet next to the diamond statue.

"In Mr. Stark's words, you are now like an incompetent husband who was abandoned by his wife and then found that his wife had to return home to spend a long time with him for some reason." Atreus looked at him with contempt. he said.

"What do children know?" Thor waved his hand indifferently: "Although the 'railgun' is very powerful, I can finally pick up 'Mjolnir' again. This means that the test of Heavenly Father is over, right? .”

"No," Atreus followed his gaze and looked at Mjolnir: "I have confirmed that you must be in combat status and the purpose of using it is to 'rescue people' before you can pick it up. In any other situation, Will not work."

"Then as long as I usually use the 'railgun', wouldn't it be great if I need to use the hammer when I need to save people in battle?" Thor said confidently: "This is equivalent to me being able to pick up the hammer."

"I actually think it makes sense..." Atreus pressed his forehead: "No, you can't be assimilated by a fool..."

"Atreus, have you found a way to remove this 'diamondization'?" Captain America came over and looked at the statue of the "White Queen".

"There is no, or should be said, that cannot be done," Atreus replied: "Sister...Miss Rachel's current state is equivalent to a certain technology in Midgard, that is, she is suffering from a disease that cannot be cured by current technology. The kind that later freezes people to wait for the development of technology. Her 'time' is 'frozen' in the state where she was just stabbed. Unless there is 100% certainty that this fatal injury can be cured while de-diamondizing, otherwise It’s best not to interfere with her condition easily.”

"In that case, we need to find out what stabbed her first, but the weapon was diamondized together with her, which..." Captain America fell into thought.

"The dark elves were 'extinct' before I can remember, so I can't provide useful information," Atreus said, "Although my brother may know something, but-"

"..." The two looked at Thor together, then shook their heads and sighed.

"Those things aside," Atreus looked at Captain America: "Can I join your 'Avengers'? I think I already have a target for revenge."

"No, kid, you look underage." Captain America refused directly.

"How can you use human lifespan to measure the Aesir?" Atreus said dissatisfied.

"That's why I said 'looks'," Captain America shrugged: "You know, the 'law' doesn't tell you about 'settings', it only looks at appearance and height, if you want to join the 'Avengers' , Nick Fury’s phone is going to be blown up.”

"Hmph... forget it, at least the entrance age for 'Hogwarts' is very low." Atreus withdrew his gaze and turned to Dr. Banner and Peter Parker: "Where did you track the lost 'Cosmic Cube'?" Are you in the right direction?"

"To be precise, it's the mechanical device that holds the Cosmic Cube." Bruce Banner said gently.

"And the armor that has been scrapped," Peter also said: "The Cosmic Cube itself cannot be tracked.]"

"Hmm," Atreus looked at Peter doubtfully: "So, have you tracked it?"

"We have obtained some information about the 'biological faction' from the 'mechanical faction' of the military," Banner replied: "They have a plan to transform into a 'super abomination' by using an 'excessive' dose, but the survival of the experimental subject The level of time and intelligence will plummet like a cliff, so it is impossible for it to behave like 'when the situation is bad, pick up the Cube and run away', that is undoubtedly the work of 'Malekis'."

"The serial number and identification code of the armor belonging to the military have been confirmed, but due to the severe damage and insufficient signal accuracy, we can only confirm that it is still in New York and has not left." Peter touched his chin: "This is very strange. If that mud monster Either it's out of control, or it's ready to use the 'Cosmic Cube' somewhere."

"Dip, beep——]"

At this time, a flashing red ring bullseye appeared on the big screen in front of them.

"The target has been confirmed. It seems to be trying to summon something by opening a space channel." Peter looked at the map on the screen: "The specific location is the 'Sea Restaurant' in Clinton District...Why does this place sound familiar?"

"..."

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

First of all, I'm not making excuses;

But the daytime temperature is 41 degrees.

Besides, I'm not making excuses;

But it doesn’t get dark until eight o’clock in the evening.

In the end, I really wasn’t making excuses;

But it didn’t seem to be that hot last year.
