"A giant spaceship has suddenly appeared in Greenwich, London..."
On the news projected by naike, the host was reporting live on the situation in Greenwich, London.
A T-shaped black warship suddenly materialized from within the River Thames, then plowed into Greenwich University with unstoppable momentum, carving a long, deep trench into the ground.
The surrounding crowds were screaming and fleeing in all directions. These people probably wanted to curse at the heavens—clearly New York in the United States was the city most prone to alien invasions, so why was it London's turn this time?
Fortunately, the black warship did not slide far, stopping in the center of the Greenwich University lawn without causing further destruction.
Seeing this scene on the news, Xia Yu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 to be separated by only a single night.
And this was already the final act of Thor 2. So Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 took place during the same time period?
No wonder while Thor was fighting Malekith, the rest of the Avengers didn't come to help, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. made no move.
Perhaps at this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. was still dealing with the aftermath left by Tony Stark. Who could have imagined that just one night later, they would face another alien invasion, and in London, England, no less.
However, looking at the ship appearing in London on the news, Xia Yu smiled. This was quite a coincidence. He knew that the aether was the reality stone, and it was practically delivering itself to his doorstep.
Space and Mind were already in his hands. Now, by obtaining the reality stone, three of the six infinity stones would be his.
Unfortunately, when he was at Kamar-Taj, he had asked the Ancient One, and the Eye of Agamotto was not the time stone, but a magical artifact the Ancient One had obtained from the extra-dimensional magical being, Eternal Agamotto.
Although he had long known that the marvel world he was in was a chaotic mix of comics, movies, and games, learning that the time stone wasn't in the Ancient One's hands was still a bit of a pity.
He hoped the soul and power infinity stones would be like the movies. If they were truly like the comics, it would be troublesome.
In the comic 'The Infinity Gauntlet: Prelude', the infinity stones were kept by the Cosmic Elders. The Champion of the Universe held the power stone, the Gardener had the time stone, the Runner had the space stone, and the reality stone was in the hands of Collector.
Interestingly, in the 'Silver Surfer' comics, a group of Cosmic Elders once plotted against Galactus, one of the Five Great Gods. They wanted to kill Galactus to make reality collapse, after which they could replace Galactus's status in the new reality and become a new race of world-devourers.
But when these Cosmic Elders seriously faced the being mocked as the 'marvel Universe's unit of power,' they were swallowed into Uncle Tun's stomach in a single breath, with almost no power to resist.
So no matter how much he underperformed, Galactus was still one of the Five Great Gods and couldn't be defeated easily.
Wait, thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem that troublesome.
Xia Yu suddenly realized that even if the time stone and power stone were in the hands of the Cosmic Elders, he had Gamora, the daughter of Galactus, on his side. Although Gamora was certainly not as powerful as Uncle Tun, he didn't need to deal with all the Cosmic Elders; he only needed the infinity stones.
When the time came, with three infinity stones in hand and working together with Gamora, he could surely snatch the infinity stones from those Elders.
But there were other methods, such as waiting for Thanos to collect the remaining infinity stones first, and then he would go snatch them from Thanos.
It was just that the soul stone was tricky. In the movies, it required sacrificing a loved one to manifest the soul stone, while in the comics, the soul stone was in the hands of Adam Warlock.
"Tsk, I'm thinking too far ahead."
Xia Yu patted his head. He hadn't even left Earth yet, so why was he already thinking about dealing with the Cosmic Elders and Thanos?
Turning his attention back to Greenwich in the news, Xia Yu tried to open a spark portal, but the portal that had always been reliable suddenly failed.
It wasn't a complete failure, but the portal was wobbling and very unstable, looking unsafe.
Quickly, Xia Yu remembered the reason: the Convergence. The so-called Convergence was when the Nine Realms, distributed throughout the universe, aligned in a straight line, forming a cosmic spectacle seen once every five thousand years.
From a cosmic perspective, it was nine worlds lining up, equivalent to a planetary alignment. This alignment, centered around the World Tree, would cause dimensional chaos and various spatial dislocations.
Due to spatial dislocations and dimensional chaos, even normally stable portals would be affected. And because Earth was Midgard, the center of the Nine Realms, Earth suffered the most. Not only were there the most spatial dislocations, but even the Dark Elves chose to start their plan for a dark world on Earth.
"No wonder the portal was unstable last night; the dimensions were already unstable by then," Xia Yu muttered to himself while watching the news.
Since the portal couldn't be used, how should he get there? Just fly over? Wait!
Xia Yu snapped his head around to look at Gamora, who was sitting there obediently. Right, why had he fallen into a mental trap? Gamora had the ability to teleport biological and physical objects across space and time. He could just have Gamora take him there.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu spoke up, "Gamora, I need you to do me a favor, is that okay?"
"Hmm?" Hearing Xia Yu's words, Gamora bounced off the sofa, scurried over to Xia Yu, and said happily, "Of course, what favor?"
Girl, why are you suddenly so happy?
Although Xia Yu was a bit puzzled, he didn't dwell on it. After all, the priority was the aether with Malekith.
"Can you take me here? Space is suddenly unstable, making my portals a bit ineffective," Xia Yu said, pointing at Greenwich in the news.
Gamora glanced at the location in the projection and then nodded vigorously, "I can."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Xia Yu's hand. In the next moment, a flash of purple light occurred, and the two instantly vanished from the room.
Greenwich, London, England.
Xia Yu's vision blurred, and his surroundings instantly changed. Looking at the giant T-shaped black warship in the distance, he immediately realized they had arrived in Greenwich.
It really was convenient—teleporting whenever she wanted without needing any preparation.
Xia Yu gave Gamora a thumbs-up. Gamora, who had already learned some Earth common knowledge, knew what this meant and giggled sheepishly.
Seeing the black warship opening in the distance, Xia Yu tapped his watch, and the nano-armor immediately covered his body. He didn't want his image to be captured; erasing traces was quite troublesome.
After a brief word with Gamora, Xia Yu charged toward the black warship.
Although he could have easily asked Gamora to help him snatch the aether, how should he put it—he couldn't bring himself to lose face like that. Anyway, based on the performance in the movie, Malekith, even with the aether, was just so-so. He could deal with him in minutes.
