Chapter 1370: The Mystery of the Feast (Twenty)

Everyone present looked at each other, and then suddenly, they all turned their gazes to a figure outside the crowd without making a sound.

Stark walked through the crowd with a glass of wine in his hand. He came to the other side of the corpse and faced Schiller. When he looked up and looked at Schiller across the queen's corpse, the bright light in the dance floor began to dim the moment their eyes met.

The complex plant patterns on the floor tiles under their feet continued to disappear, and streams of light passed horizontally and vertically, outlining the wide stage into a huge chessboard.

As time stopped flowing, everyone's expressions stayed at that moment, and the gorgeous colors on their skin and clothes gradually faded, becoming as gray and hard as stone.

"Bang, bang, bang", after a subtle sound like a heartbeat, one chess piece after another with different postures fell on the chessboard.

On one side of the chessboard, Doom, Thor, Loki, Star-Lord, Strange, Thanos, Professor X, Sif, Odin, Frigga, Jarvis, Yondu, Rocket Raccoon, and even Prince Alan, countless chess pieces stood proudly on the chessboard, some riding horses, some holding swords, and behind the heavy pieces was Stark standing on the throne of the king.

"I connect various forces and let them act one after another under my control, using the death of the queen as a medium to achieve their respective goals."

After saying that, Stark pointed his arm forward, and with a "bang", the Yondu chess piece wearing the Predator's uniform jumped forward one step.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

A somewhat annoying vibration sounded, and a rough big hand grabbed the communicator. Yondu's face was full of irritation. He held the phone and yelled to the other side: "Which grandson called so early? Do you understand the rules?!"

"Captain Yondu? I have a list here. I wonder if you are interested?" A mysterious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What list?" Yondu asked unhappily.

"I need you to go to Centauri to help me hunt down a robot raccoon. You don't need to know what a raccoon is. You just need to know that the underlying agreement of this robot raccoon contains what I want. The reward is settled in energy. Pay a 30% deposit first. The faster the speed, the higher the price. How about it?"

Yondu's eyes lit up immediately, and he repeated: "Energy settlement, are you sure?"

"Of course, do you accept the order?"

"Yes, do you want it dead or alive?"

"It's up to you, I just want the underlying agreement."

"Wait for my good news, rich man!"

With a "bang", Doom's chess piece with a hood on the chessboard also jumped forward one step.

In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Stark hung up the phone and looked back at Doom, who was cleaning up the remains of a robot in front of the laboratory table. He looked up at Stark and said, "Doom doesn't know where you got this pile of junk from, but Doom has extracted the information in it as agreed."

"I have called the interstellar pirate leader introduced to me by Loki. I think it won't be long before there will be results. Unfortunately, these robots that were destroyed by someone unknown do not have the coordinates of the mysterious asylum. Otherwise, we would have been investigating there now."

"Doom wants to know where you got the robot remains from, and why you are so concerned about the asylum called 'Half World'."

Stark touched his chin and said, "I picked up the robot remains when the demons were fighting before. At that time, Jarvis conducted some independent analysis, but I didn't care about the results."

"Until some time ago, when I searched for the keywords of gods in my database, I found these The robot's analysis results revealed the names of the Shi'ar twin gods. "

"In the incomplete data of these robots, I found a lunatic asylum called Half World, which was the Shi'ar Empire's test site. It was an evil experimental plan called the 'Universal Life Fusion Plan', but that was not important. What was important was that it mentioned how the Shi'ar Empire implemented this plan."

Doom looked down at the remains of the robot and uttered a name: "M'Kraan Crystal?"

Stark nodded, but Doom still looked at him and said, "Doom still doesn't understand why you want to investigate this crystal?"

Stark shook his head again. He turned to look at the sunset outside the window of Stark Tower, but there was a darkness in his eyes that did not belong to him. He whispered, "Perhaps, you will know soon."

The light became dimmer, and with two "bangs", Thor and Loki's chess pieces, who took a step forward, shook the entire chessboard. Even the statues, the Asgardians showed a kind of mythical handsomeness.

"...What do you mean my wedding can do more? Tony, don't keep me in suspense. I don't have time to play this kind of riddle with you." Thor leaned on the sofa and looked at Stark across from him.

Stark cast his eyes on Loki and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the marriage of emperors has to deal with more than just marriage, right?"

Loki narrowed his eyes slowly. He naturally understood what Stark meant, but he still said: "This is the Asgard royal family's own business. We can solve it."

"Of course, but the rebuilding of the underworld that you complained to me about before is not just a private matter of the Asgard royal family, right?"

Loki and Thor looked at each other, Thor coughed lightly, looked at Stark and said: "We do intend to let Hela return to Asgard, but before we understand Odin's attitude, we will not act rashly. After all, the father of the gods is our father, and we don't want to embarrass him too much."

"Besides, what does this have to do with Thor's wedding?" Loki tilted his head and frowned at Stark and asked.

"If you are willing to help me, I am of course willing to help you solve the problem that has been bothering you for a long time, how about it?"

"Bang!", another larger chess piece jumped out, and Thanos jumped a step diagonally forward and stood on the side of Loki.

"Don't tell me that you have no interest in the marginal star regions where the Shi'ar Empire has weak control, Your Majesty Thanos." Loki smiled and looked at Thanos in front of him, saying: "Now there is an opportunity to make the Shi'ar Empire fall into chaos without fighting. Do you have any good ideas?"

Thanos' fingers touched the side of the wine glass, he lowered his eyes, then raised his eyes and looked at Loki and said: You are bolder than I thought, but you are right, who would not be tempted by the fat meat delivered to their mouths?"

Another "bang" sound, Star Lord's chess piece jumped forward and came to the side and rear of Thanos' chess piece.

"Mr. Quill, I feel very sorry that we didn't cooperate in Kane Prison last time, but this time, I think we will cooperate happily." Thanos smiled and looked at Star Lord Peter Quill.

"What do you want me to do?" Star Lord looked at Thanos unmoved, and said: "I am not an interstellar mercenary, and I will not work for anyone for money."

"I just want to give you a chance for revenge. "Thanos shook his head and said, "Aren't you always worried about your mother's death?"

Star Lord opened his eyes slightly, but he still said calmly, "I have avenged my mother. The aliens who came to Earth and killed my mother were sent by my uncle, Prince Gareth of the Spartacus Empire. When I returned to the Spartacus Empire, I had killed him."

"Do you really think that the civil strife in the Spartacus Empire was just a coincidence?" Thanos continued to ask with a smile.

Star Lord clenched his fist for a moment, but then he loosened his arm and looked at Thanos and said, "So what if someone deliberately instigated it behind the scenes? Are you going to tell me that you can kill them all?"

"Of course not, but at least I can give you a chance to avenge your parents who have been separated for many years due to the war and go to give the mastermind a grand funeral. "

As Thanos finished speaking, the light on the chessboard shone brightly, and the bright light at the engine port gradually went out. The Shi'ar Empire's spaceship landed in the Asgard Starport, and the Shi'ar Queen walked out of the hatch.

When the queen and Asgard's God King Thor greeted each other with the etiquette of their own countries, she did not see that a cold light flashed in the eyes of Peter Quill, a young member of the Shi'ar Empire Guard standing behind her.

Then, everything seemed to be paused, the carpet rolled back from the feet, the shoes embroidered with intricate patterns retreated step by step, the guards put the ceremonial swords back into the scabbard, and followed step by step back to the spaceship.

Until the light and darkness turned back, the light and shadow overlapped, and in the office of the Sanctuary of the Holy, a pair of bright leather shoes stepped into the door. Strange, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up, smiled and looked at Stark and said, "Tony, long time no see, the performance of the other you really surprised me."

"Wait until I finish talking about important things, you have plenty of time to laugh at me. "Stark tightened his suit and walked to sit opposite Strange.

Strange raised his eyebrows, but Stark smiled, pointed a finger at his temple and said, "Sorry, but there's a guy here who keeps yelling about not doing unnecessary things, so your next taunt may not work."

"What do you want to talk about?" Strange narrowed his eyes.

"Don't refute me about the big portal technology that has been stuck for you for a long time, let alone say that there is progress but not much nonsense. We all know that you need a revolutionary technological breakthrough."

Stark reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table. When Strange was about to pick up another glass of wine, Stark knocked the table with the wine glass in his hand and said, "You should quit drinking, Stephen, especially before doing some important things."

"Drinking doesn't affect my use of magic at all." Strange picked up the wine glass and said, "The special meditation method can block the effect of alcohol. You don't underestimate the mage so much, right? "

Stark looked up at him and said, "I mean, this will let others know that if you don't drink, you're going to do business."

"But you haven't said what business is."

"Who has the biggest portal in this universe?"

Stark and Strange's eyes met, and they both saw the cold smile in each other's eyes, just like when they were planning to borrow money to build guns.

With a "clatter", Frigga's chess piece moved behind Strange at some point, and the queen of gods was as gentle as usual.

With her thin knuckles, she stroked her tie, then buttoned up her suit, and stepped into the bedroom door with her shiny leather shoes. Frigga smiled and turned to look at Strange who came in.

"Your Majesty, the Sorcerer Supreme, long time no see."
