Hawkeye Barton used this excellent excuse to exonerate himself, which greatly lessened his guilt. It wasn't that his side was weak, it was just that the other side was piloting a Gundam.
Then, in the scene, Doctor Strange released the Infinity Stone from his chest.
"We have time!"
The last one was the Time Stone.
After watching all this, Tony Stark didn't think too much. He already believed it all, mainly because he believed Bruce Banner wouldn't joke with him. He directly asked, "What's his name?"
"Thanos!" Bruce Banner said with a worried expression. "He's a disaster, Tony, he plunders across the planets!"
"He plunders everywhere across the planets, and wherever he goes, half of the living beings are cruelly slaughtered. He instructed Loki to attack New York, it's this person!"
Bruce Banner tried to explain to Tony Stark.
However, this information was only a secret to Tony Stark and the others in the picture, but not to those of them outside the picture.
As more and more information was revealed in Lin Feng's diary, they were actually very clear about the relationship between the Chitauri and Thanos.
Just a small part of the alien army under Thanos was enough to make Earth defenseless.
"So it's him!" Tony Stark suddenly realized. "How much time do we have!"
"It's hard to say. He has already obtained the Power and Space Infinity Stones. His strength can dominate the entire universe. If all six Infinity Stones fall into his hands, Tony..." Bruce Banner wanted to persuade Tony Stark.
"Countless lives will suffer, it's unimaginable!" At this moment, Doctor Strange couldn't help but say.
"If Thanos wants to collect all six, wouldn't it be easier to just get rid of this one?" Tony Stark asked.
"Don't even think about it. We've sworn to protect the Time Stone with our lives!" Doctor Strange stated without hesitation.
As the Sorcerer Supreme, he had once sworn to protect the Eye of Agamotto with his life, just as the Ancient One had before him.
Furthermore, he needed the Time Stone to fight Thanos.
The two high-spirited Holmes immediately began to argue upon meeting.
"The situation is that we have the Mind Stone, and it's with Vision!" Bruce Banner quickly intervened, trying to mediate. "We need to find him quickly!"
Hearing this, everyone confirmed their suspicions. Indeed, the Infinity Stone on Vision's head was the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, originating from the Mind Scepter.
They just didn't know where Loki had gotten it.
And Vision, according to Tony Stark's guess, was likely a creation of his using Jarvis and the Mind Stone. Apart from that, Tony couldn't think of any other way Vision could have been born.
And then, Tony Stark revealed a shocking piece of news: "That's the problem. Two weeks ago, Vision shut down his communicator and disappeared!"
In response, Bruce Banner quipped, "Tony, you've lost another super robot!"
Again, lost, super robot?
Tony Stark, watching from outside the screen, quickly grasped the key point. Had there been other super robots before?
He immediately thought of the robots from the Sokovia Accords, the ones with the catfish-like faces that matched his aesthetic, flying in the sky. Were those the robots?
And he'd lost this one too? Facing Bruce Banner's accusation, Tony Stark immediately defended himself, saying, "I didn't lose him. He's not just a robot, he can self-evolve!"
A super robot that could self-evolve.
Everyone thought of Vision's behavior, which was hardly like that of a stiff robot.
But the ability to evolve independently means it's out of control, which is hard to imagine for someone like Tony Stark.
"Tony, aren't you worried this will cause a crisis?" Black Widow Natasha asked. "You know, like those AI crises, plus you already lost one!"
"Although it's not appropriate to say this, a super-robot based on underlying code shouldn't normally have any accidents!" Tony Stark said.
"So there are abnormal situations, and Doctor Banner said you lost one again, which means you've lost more than one. You need to be careful about this!" Black Widow Natasha said.
Tony Stark nodded. His thought process as a scientist was completely different from ordinary people, but the independent evolution of robots still made him wary.
Even if they were to evolve, it should be under human control, which was what he expected.
But because of this, he found it strange why his counterpart in the parallel universe would create such a thing.
If artificial intelligence isn't controlled, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, the learning abilities of humans and AI are incomparable. If a code program isn't designed at the bottom layer to prevent it, who knows, after waking up one day, humans might be slaves to robots.
"So, who can find Vision now?"
Doctor Strange in the image didn't want to waste any time and asked directly.
Hearing this, Tony Stark hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe Steve Rogers could! Maybe! But..."
Everyone didn't expect that the final clue would point to Captain America Rogers.
And Captain America Rogers, who hadn't spoken much earlier, realized that something felt a little off.
Looking at Tony Stark's future appearance.
Bruce Banner quickly said, "Then call him!"
Tony Stark said helplessly, "It's not that simple!"
"God, we haven't contacted each other in ages. The Avengers disbanded, and we went our separate ways!"
Tony Stark revealed a shocking secret: the Avengers had disbanded in the future.
The Avengers' disbandment was something they already knew about.
After all, they had gone through such a serious civil war, which was also related to the death of Tony Stark's parents. But the problem was, why couldn't Tony Stark contact the robot he created, but Steve Rogers could? What was going on? Tony Stark was also furious. The super robot he created wouldn't listen to him? Was it going to betray him too?
"In other words, from that civil war until Thanos arrived, the Avengers were in a state of division, and Banner obviously didn't know about it because he didn't participate in the civil war..." Black Widow Natasha said. "Plus, he was teleported back from Asgard using the Bifrost, so I suspect he wasn't even on Earth during that time. If he was on Earth, even if he didn't participate, he should have heard about it, but he didn't. So, from that time until Thanos was about to invade in the video, he was on another planet!"
Everyone nodded; it seemed to fit the logic.
"And the Avengers' state of division should also have been ended by Thanos, which is why Tony, Thor, and Captain fought Thanos together later!"
Black Widow Natasha said.
This was probably the most realistic guess so far.
"Broken up? Like a band breaking up, like the Beatles?"
At this moment, Bruce Banner in the image was shocked beyond belief. He had never imagined the Avengers would disband. He had only been off Earth for a few years, and such a major event had already occurred.
Tony Stark knew Bruce Banner didn't know, but he didn't want to go into specifics, so he could only vaguely say, "Captain and I had a falling out. We're not on speaking terms..."
Bruce Banner still hadn't realized the extent of the Avengers' division. He even blurted out astonishing news: "Tony, listen to me, Thor is gone, Thanos is coming soon. This isn't the time for you two to be squabbling..."
At this moment, he didn't know Thor wasn't dead yet.
But everyone outside the image knew. If Thor had died, how could there be a situation where the three major figures of the original Avengers would fight Thanos?
Although it was possible that, after that battle, the original Avengers would be wiped out, it was clearly not now.
Inside Asgard, Odin and Thor looked at each other. This meant the problem was as serious as they had estimated before.
They had only speculated before that Thanos had been to Asgard, but now it was basically confirmed. Thanos must have been to Asgard, and according to Thanos' consistent habits, Asgard must have suffered a massacre of at least half of its population.
Especially Odin. He had heard of Thanos' code of conduct. Many of the planets he conquered had half of their lives slaughtered, and his public explanation was to ensure the sustainable development of the universe.
Although this statement was idiotic, he had really been following this logic for so many years.
In other words, Asgard had been slaughtered by him at least by half, and even Thor might have been crippled, only to survive later for some unknown reason. However, it would have led Hulk to mistakenly believe he was dead, which was obviously a very brutal attack.
This also explained why the Thor mentioned in Lin Feng's previous diary would be enthroned in a small Nordic fishing village.
Because after Asgard went through Ragnarok, it not only lost all its wealth and ancient heritage, but also its population was probably reduced to a small number.
