Marvel Side Story

Chapter 813 Marvel Side Story (Part 5)

2022 years.

The Avengers' time travel experiment went very smoothly.

Doctor Strange, Bruce Banshee, the Hulk, Thanos, and Captain America, Steve Rogers, were among the first members to go to the Battle of New York in 2012.

According to their assessment, the greatest threat, Uehara Naraku, was just an ordinary person, and no one could stop them from stealing the Infinity Stones from that great war.

result…

This group of members were beaten up by Uehara Naraku.

"Uehara Naraku is a liar!"

Upon his return, Steve Rogers' first act was to inform everyone of the truth: "Uehara Naraku's power has always been immense! He was never an ordinary person!"

"That's right..."

Dr. Bruce Banner, also covered in injuries, explained in a deep voice, "We've always believed that Uehara became Superman because of the Tesseract's energy... No, he's always possessed superhuman powers; the Battle of New York was just a disguise!"

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Nick Fury frowned involuntarily and said softly, "It seems our next step is to avoid Uehara Naraku's reappearance..."

"And he has always been the leader of Akatsuki..."

Steve Rogers immediately brought up another troublesome matter: "So, all of Xiao's actions are under his command!"

"...This guy..."

Nick Fury was somewhat speechless.

Everyone present was even more speechless.

Because everyone has come into contact with Uehara Naraku, and knows that it was because Uehara Naraku was using the guise of an Akatsuki intern that he was able to obtain so many advantages on Earth... Otherwise, Uehara Naraku could not have become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a Level 7 agent.

That bastard…

That's some serious fun!

Those present initially thought Uehara Naraku's actions were heinous enough, but after the first time travel, they realized they had perhaps underestimated his despicable cunning...

Naraku Uehara…

Is he really the leader of Akatsuki?

Only Tony Stark fell into deep thought.

His father, Howard Stark, had a good relationship with the Akatsuki organization, and even distrusted S.H.I.E.L.D., entrusting his last letter to the Akatsuki for safekeeping...

Tony Stark recalled how, when Uehara Naraku was still a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent monitoring him, he had desperately tried to hide the Akatsuki organization from Uehara...

When the Akatsuki organization arrives on Earth…

Tony Stark recalled how he had defended and spoken highly of the Akatsuki in front of Naraku Uehara and the others; at that time, no one believed in the Akatsuki's righteous nature more than Tony…

Tony even vaguely recalled that he had once shamelessly told Uehara Naraku about the Akatsuki organization...

This is just too ridiculous!

Now, thinking back on those stupid things, Tony Stark feels like he really wants to kill himself on the spot... What was that bastard Uehara Naraku thinking back then?

and many more…

A letter from his father, Howard Stark?

Tony Stark's mood suddenly soured. Was Howard's last letter, which had once influenced his perception of the Akatsuki, left to him by his father?

This answer…

Perhaps I'll have to find it myself.

"Go to 1970."

Tony Stark recalled an era, unconcerned about whether the Akatsuki organization existed in that time, and said in a deep voice, "The Tesseract... the Space Stone must have been from that era... I want to see just how many tricks Uehara Naraku has played!"

"What if Uehara Naraku had appeared in that era?"

Natasha Romanov quickly posed a difficult question: "Judging from the current situation, he was the leader of Akatsuki a long time ago, which means we cannot determine his exact age or the exact time he appeared on Earth..."

"Uehara Naraku is skilled in concealment and deception."

Tony Stark immediately provided the answer: "If Uehara Naraku really appeared in that era, what identity would he have? We have enough Pym Particles; besides seizing the Infinity Stones, we can also see if that guy has any other schemes up his sleeve..."

A thought seemed to flash through Tony Stark's mind, and he suddenly said, "Wait... why didn't Uehara Naraku eliminate you and us rebels...? He had the power, but he didn't kill or imprison us..."

Thanos thought for less than a second before giving a deep conclusion: "Whatever his schemes may be, we only have this one plan."

just now…

They had no other choice.

Nick Fury glanced subtly at Thanos, then reached for his pager and said, "Let's discuss who should retrieve the Infinity Stones first..."

To be honest, Nick Fury didn't believe in Thanos.

Furthermore, now that they know Uehara Naraku has always been the leader of Akatsuki, it means that their previous plan to dismantle Uehara Naraku's rule through Akatsuki is no longer feasible. They might as well just recall Captain Marvel…

By the way...

It can also serve as a precaution against Thanos.

The first group of members who went through time travel were beaten up by Uehara Naraku, but they also retrieved the first Time Stone from the past, which shows that the plan was successful.

Once we get all six Infinity Stones…

Nick Fury suspected that Thanos might have some ulterior motives, so recalling Carol Danvers at this time was probably a good precaution.

Nick Fury's approach proved to be correct.

Even though Thanos is now cooperating with the Avengers, it doesn't mean he has given up his ideals.

Since almost everyone present had come into contact with one of the Infinity Stones, they quickly compiled a timeline of all the timelines in which the stones appeared.

First of all.

To avoid conflict with Uehara Naraku from the past timeline.

Second.

Avoid any actions that could disrupt the timeline.

At last.

Come back alive.

However, everything that is gained must eventually come at a price.

Aside from the other gems being retrieved safely, the team that went to retrieve the Soul Gem paid the ultimate price: Natasha Romanov was killed.

The occurrence of this event…

This caused the Avengers members immense grief.

"Let's discuss how to deal with Uehara Naraku..."

Thanos didn't seem to care much about Natasha Romanoff's sacrifice. He continued softly, "This is the price I've been telling you all along... Perhaps there's still a chance to make amends, because Uehara Naraku once saved my daughter who was sacrificed."

Thanos's gaze fell upon the six Infinity Stones: "If it's the power of the Infinity Stones... perhaps... it should be possible."

"Let's discuss this first..."

Nick Fury glanced at everyone present, his gaze fixed on Thanos's empty Infinity Gauntlet: "We'll decide who uses these stones... There don't seem to be many options, only Mr. Thanos and Dr. Bruce Banner seem most suitable, right?"

Because of the Infinity Gauntlet…

They no longer need to make gloves.

But letting Thanos, the former ruler of the universe, obtain all the Infinity Stones just doesn't feel quite right. His goal is supposedly to wipe out half of all life in the universe…

"No one but me can unleash their power."

Thanos glanced at everyone present, stepped forward, and said, "No one in the entire universe knows better than me how to wield the power of the Infinity Stones..."

"Mr. Thanos, please tell us what to do first!"

Nick Fury looked at Thanos and said softly, "If Mr. Thanos has these gems, how will he deal with Uehara Naraku?"

"Snap your fingers."

Thanos raised his hand and snapped his fingers, saying in a deep voice, "There is no being that the power of the six Infinity Stones cannot defeat..."

After Thanos finished speaking, he looked around at everyone present. He saw the pager in Nick Fury's hand and knew that it was for calling Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.

This is a troublesome matter…

Just then, Loki suddenly spoke up: "Although with six Infinity Stones, defeating anyone is as easy as snapping your fingers... Uehara Naraku also has six Infinity Stones, so there's no guarantee of 100% success."

"...What should we do then?"

Thanos looked at Loki.

"Then we'll have no choice but to fight with all our might..."

Loki chuckled and looked at Thanos, saying, "If the first method can't solve Uehara Naraku's problem, then let our strongest members take all the Infinity Stones to Uehara Naraku and use all their powers to fight him to the death..."

"but…"

"I suggest everyone randomly pick the first person to try snapping their fingers."

"Using the power of the Primal Stone will consume a lot of life... If the first person fails, the second person must ensure that they are in perfect condition and take the Primal Stone to face Uehara Naraku."

"..."

Everyone present looked at each other.

Even Thanos couldn't help but glance at Loki. It has to be said that what Loki said was very advantageous to him, perhaps allowing him to obtain all the Infinity Stones without shedding a drop of blood...

Who will be the first to make the sacrifice?

"Let me do it..."

Dr. Bruce Banner raised his hand and stepped forward. He walked towards Thanos and reached for the Infinity Gauntlet: "I know I can never be a match for Uesugi... so let me be the first to sacrifice myself!"

"Bruce!"

"Bruce!"

"Bruce!"

"..."

The group of Avengers couldn't help but look at Bruce Banner.

Are they going to sacrifice Bruce Banner's lover Natasha Romanoff now, just because they already sacrificed her?

Bruce Banner shook his head, his gaze falling on Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet: "There's no one more suitable than me, because no one understands the gamma rays of the Infinity Stones better than me. Perhaps this is destiny. I don't want to let Natasha's sacrifice go to waste. I want to know their secrets..."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

"Let's begin preparations..."

Bruce Banner reached for the Infinity Gauntlet, carefully slipped it onto his arm, and whispered, "Everyone, hand over the gems to me... This is finally going to be over."
