Chapter 14 This is a chance to die
"Thor, are you sure you remember correctly?"
Steve Rogers frowned and looked at Thor and asked, "In order to obtain the Soul Stone, do you have to sacrifice your closest relatives?"
At this moment, it seemed that everyone in the conference room realized the seriousness of the problem.
"That's right," Thor replied seriously: "If you want to obtain the soul gem, you must lose your loved one and exchange your soul for a soul."
"The book says this is an eternal exchange..."
Tony Stark looked serious when he heard this. He put down the coffee in his hand and slowly walked to Thor.
"At times like this, I hope you're not kidding," Tony Stark whispered into Thor's ear.
"Refer to Thanos and Gamora," Thor said calmly.
Nodding slightly, Tony Stark stared at Thor without speaking.
Thanos' experience of obtaining the Soul Stone has well confirmed what Thor said. Tony just can't accept it. In fact, if what Thor said is wrong, then he can't think of anything more reasonable. explain......
"He's right," Nebula's hoarse voice sounded in the silent conference room: "The soul gem is accompanied by fear, and everyone who gets it must endure pain."
When Natasha Romanoff heard this, she buried her head very low. Her eyes were blank and she said: "If we can't get the soul gem, half of the people will not be able to be resurrected."
James Rhodes slapped the table loudly: "Damn it, we seem to be stuck in a dilemma."
Scott Lang shook his head and quickly scanned everyone in the conference room: "So, do we have no other way?"
After hearing this, everyone fell into silent thinking. No one could answer his question.
However, this situation was exactly what Saul had expected at first, so Saul decided to speak at this most troublesome moment.
Sol said calmly: "There is no way."
Sure enough, as soon as Sol finished speaking, everyone looked at him with doubts.
Seeing this, Thor smiled slightly and asked: "Who has obtained the soul gem in history?"
Everyone in the conference room immediately had the answer in their minds, and their expressions froze.
Steve Rogers quickly looked up at Thor.
Clinton Francis Patton blurted out: "Thanos!"
James Rhodes sat in his seat, his original melancholy gone, replaced by his gradually opening mouth and an unbelievable expression: "You mean..."
A crazy idea started playing in his head.
"no!"
Tony Stark immediately denied it. He said categorically: "It is too dangerous to snatch the gems from Thanos!"
When Steve Rogers saw Tony's reaction, he frowned and began to weigh this approach in his mind.
After a while, Steve made a decision, and then said: "Tony, it might be an opportunity to snatch the gems from Thanos."
Tony heard this and mocked: "A chance to die?"
"Captain, why don't you remind Tony who cut off Thanos' head?" Thor suddenly waved his hand, and a blast of wind immediately opened the door of the conference room and flew towards Thor's hand.
Thor raised the storm ax in his hand and waited for Steve Rogers to answer.
"It's Storm Ax," Rocket Raccoon replied.
Thor was stunned for a moment, then raised the ax higher. At the same time, he pointed at himself with another finger and asked, "Who is holding the Storm Axe again?"
No one pays attention to him.
Thor asked himself and answered: "It's me!"
Tony Stark ignored the "savage" holding an ax behind him, and his mood was obviously excited: "The opportunity has not passed, Captain, it has even been placed in front of you and me, but what is the result?"
Steve Rogers didn't think so. He tried to convince Tony Stark: "Unlike five years ago, this time we have the initiative."
"Initiative?" Tony Stark was amused by Steve's words. He walked back and forth in the conference room:
"What's the difference between Thanos coming to steal our gems and us going to snatch Thanos's gems?"
"Oh, that means we will probably line up in front of Thanos and wait for him to chop off our heads one by one."
"Now that we have insurance methods, why not be more safe and deal with this disaster that can wipe us out?"
Steve Rogers was helpless when faced with a series of remarks from Tony Stark. He exhaled heavily and looked out the window.
"To be honest, even if we choose to avoid Thanos, it is not necessarily safe," Thor said seriously: "It may even be better to snatch it directly from Thanos."
"Reason?" Tony Stark turned around and asked.
"Nebula will share data with itself in sub-time and space," Thor said without any hesitation: "This will still lead to Thanos knowing our plan, and even being fully prepared to lead the entire legion to pursue us."
Nebula glanced at Sol in confusion. If she didn't even know something, would Sol in front of her know?
"I can fix Smurfette," Tony Stark said without a moment's hesitation.
Rocket Raccoon reminded: "Tony, this is not a disease."
"Besides, are you so confident that you can fix it?" Scott Lang interjected in a low voice.
"Yeah, yeah... you are right," Tony Stark said excitedly: "Then leave Nebula at the base!"
Thor stood there feeling helpless. He chose to give up persuading Tony. He had long expected that the plan would be opposed, and he also guessed that the person who raised the objection would be the "conservative" Tony Stark.
Since the Battle of New York in 2012, Tony Stark has fallen into PDSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or more complex thoughts, fear, disappointment, and even complete despair...
In the past, Tony was narcissistic, conceited, cool, and pretentious. But since he had a family, all these have disappeared.
Conservativeness, this is the biggest manifestation of Tony's change. The events of Avengers Civil War, including the current Infinity Reversal, have vividly demonstrated his conservative thinking.
So Thor was not surprised at all when Tony objected.
Sighing, Thor swung the storm ax with his right hand in mid-air, raised it to his shoulder, and decided to return to his corner, drinking Bloody Mary and waiting for the outcome of the dispute between the two. .
......
"Tony, no one's life should pay for this mission!" Steve Rogers emphasized.
"No one?" Tony Stark laughed angrily: "Hey, everyone, sacrificing one person's life can save the lives of half of the people in the entire universe. Don't any of you want to do something that will last forever?"
"You know, Thanos has the Infinity Stones in his hand, and Vadakan couldn't stop him in a single battle. Now with just the ten of us, who can brazenly say that he can survive?!" Tony Stark almost said at the end It came out roaring.
"So this is the one who must be sacrificed!" Steve Rogers also yelled: "Is it you, or is it Pepper Potts?!"
Steve mentioned Pepper Potts, which was undoubtedly the turning point in the dispute between the two. Tony Stark stood there blankly for a long time, and soon calmed down. In the end, Tony spread his hands and did not reply.
When Steve Rogers saw this, his voice became much softer. He continued to persuade: "Tony, if there is hope, let's go for it, even if the chance is slim..."
"If it fails..." Tony Stark didn't finish his sentence.
"Then we will fail together," Steve Rogers immediately blocked his follow-up words and replied firmly: "I will never regret it!"
Struggled in his heart, Tony looked at Steve intently, shook his head with a bitter expression, and finally chose to look away.
Tony Stark looked away, and suddenly a figure appeared in his peripheral vision that was different from the movements of everyone around him. It was this figure that made Tony Stark's depressed expression suddenly become strange.
"Thor, if it's not enough, I can ask Friday for another drink. There's no more in the cup," Tony Stark crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Thor with a raised eyebrow.
The man who caused him to argue with the captain, with his head tilted up, was holding his glass upside down and waiting for the last drop of Bloody Mary in the glass to fall.
At some point, Nebula suddenly stood next to Thor, with a hoarse voice: "You look like you haven't had a Bloody Mary in hundreds of years."
Accidentally, he once again became the center of attention.
Even Sol, who had five years of experience as a fat man, felt embarrassed. He quickly put down the cup he was holding in his hand, and without saying a word, even a little dazed, he just looked at the gazes of everyone in silence. .
