Laura's Beautiful Journey

Half of the lives returned. Although the war caused by Nebula's mistake was extremely thrilling, it ended with the victory of the Earth Alliance.

As for Sister Rufeng’s quiet arrival and departure, no one present except Laura knew about it.

The movement of the Time Stone ultimately proved to be nothing more than a false alarm.

Fat Thor, who was dealt two waves by his teammates, does not hold grudges. After all, this guy is not only generous, but also fat. The two shots from Star-Lord's face and Tony's subconscious elbow were very difficult for him with a divine body. It doesn't hurt much.

After the war, the main force of the personnel, the Master Kama Taj, and the soldiers of Wakanda declined Stark's invitation to hold a celebration dinner.

The mages have been practicing hard for many years, and their lives are actually relatively poor. They are not unenthusiastic about the sumptuous dinner, but they have always adhered to the principle of escaping from the world and finally chose to leave silently, leaving only the representative contemporary supreme mage Doctor Strange and the Supreme Mage. Servant Lao Wang.

The Wakanda army also returned to their hometown through the portal opened with the help of the wizards. The black uncles are preparing to go home and have a celebration dinner full of Wakanda style. Black Panther T'Challa's statement on this is: Wakanda's opening up to the outside world needs to be a step-by-step process, and they don't want to reveal their wealth all at once so abruptly.

Fat Thor and Valkyrie do not have these concerns. The town of New Asgard does not need their constant attention. It has been a long time since they drank and feasted with their friends. For the two people who were born in Asgard, Said it was attractive.

War Machine Rhodes was originally asked to go back to the Pentagon to report on his work, but he was so angry that he attracted five tactical nuclear missiles for no reason. He cursed at the other end of the phone and then directly asked the Warframe Intelligence to block all the other party's communications. Lost.

He finally let go of the bad breath in his chest and had no regrets at all. Anyway, he had spent enough time in the US Air Force. At worst, he would retire and concentrate on being a superhero.

As the well-deserved MVP of this game, Laura was naturally invited by Tony.

At present, the Avengers base on this earth was razed to the ground in the initial wave of bombings by the Dark Temple battleship, and the quantum channel opening device was completely destroyed. Considering that she really has nowhere to go for a while, Laura also So I agreed.

So, except for Stark, who needed to negotiate with the governments of various countries and arrange for the Disaster Control Bureau to handle the aftermath, and Doctor Strange, who secretly helped deal with some of the loose ends, everyone else boarded Tony's latest stealth fighter and headed for Sri Lanka. Tucker Manor.

After arriving at the destination, Xiaojiao, as the hostess, made proper arrangements for everyone on the plane, taking care of their injuries and resting when they needed to.

"Thank you, Laura."

Laura followed Pepper into the underground laboratory of Stark Manor. As soon as the automatic sensor door closed, she heard a thank you from the other party.

"Um...you're welcome. I believe you can win the final victory even without my involvement."

Laura was silent for a moment, and then replied.

Little Pepper turned back, smiled slightly sadly at her, and said:

"I also firmly believe that the final victory will belong to our side, but the price we need to pay will be...I lose my husband, and little Megan loses her father."

After hearing this, Laura was stunned. Could it be that Tony was actually prepared to sacrifice himself before the original Endgame began, and that Pepper actually knew about it? ! These two people...are really speechless.

Not knowing what to say, Laura fell silent, and Pepper stopped talking. The two of them walked all the way to the safety door of the underground laboratory.

"Friday will help you seal the borrowed infinite stones. I won't go in. Little Megan will get up soon, and I have to take care of her."

After completing the identity verification and opening the security door, Pepper smiled sincerely at Laura, then turned and left.

Laura watched her leave, and then turned around and entered the laboratory.

"Miss Laura, please take out the infinite gems and place them in the corresponding container. The sealing process will then run automatically."

Friday's female voice is quite pleasant, but Laura always feels that she has less emotion than Rachel.

Thinking of Rachel, Laura sighed involuntarily.

She missed them, and now she just hoped that Tony could complete the reconstruction of the quantum channel opening device as soon as possible, so that she could return to them as soon as possible.

He was thinking about something in his mind and didn't stop moving his hands.

As the power of the Phoenix surges, blue, purple, yellow, orange, and green light flashes, and space gems, power gems, mind gems, soul gems, and time gems appear, each at a strange but stable speed. and the orbit slowly rotates around Laura.

These are the five Infinity Stones that Tony and the others need to return. As for the Reality Stone, which was borrowed from the universe where Laura lives, she can just bring it back.

After arranging for the mages to return to Karma Taj, Doctor Strange took out the Time Stone from the Eye of Agamotto and returned it to Laura on the way back.

Although the six infinity stones in this universe were destroyed by Thanos who returned to his hometown for retirement, they will eventually reappear in the world, representing a certain original essential energy of the universe, but their respective shapes, locations and the time required are different. It’s all unknown.

Laura originally gave the Time Stone to Doctor Strange because she thought this guy had the ability to return it to its original owner across time, saving Captain America an extra trip.

However, after Strange obtained the Time Stone, he only used its power to activate three spells.

One is to give him a constant time magic that can reset himself indefinitely for ten years. The effect is similar to the constant used to negotiate conditions with Dormammu at that time.

The second is to give the Eye of Agamotto a certain amount of time stone energy, so that this magical artifact can retain the energy to perform most of its functions.

The third item is a little weird. According to Strange himself, it is to bind part of his own soul with time energy. The effect is that when the time stone of this world reappears in the world, Doctor Strange can rely on that A subtle connection induces it to a certain extent.

Judging from these three items, Strange obviously does not want to give up the complete version of the Eye of Agamotto, the ultimate artifact of the Mage Supreme series.

Accompanied by a series of "click-click" sounds of the device closing, Laura's somewhat divergent thinking returned to the current reality.

The space, power, mind, and time gems had all been sealed, and Laura turned her gaze to the last soul gem, which was emitting orange light and seemed unwilling to be sealed away.

"What, do you have something to express? Or are you saying you don't want to leave?"

Laura's tone was a little cold. She didn't like this gem that had hidden herself deeply from the beginning.

The orange light of the soul gem flashes, and the frequency changes extremely quickly, but Laura is not an infinite gem, so she can't "hear" what this guy is "saying".

"The closing resistance is too large. If the sealing process is forcibly completed, the device may deviate due to excessive resistance."

The female voice from Friday appeared again, and at the same time the wall on one side opened, and two mechanical arms stretched out, which seemed to be the backhand left by Tony.

"Stop it, Friday, I'll come and check on the situation."

Laura thought for a moment, and finally decided to see what the soul gem was trying to do.

"Okay, Miss Laura, the emergency countermeasures have been suspended and are on standby and can be activated again at any time."

As Friday's voice fell, the mechanical arm hovered in the air, and the hydraulically driven closing device retracted ten centimeters, revealing the shining soul gem inside the device.

Laura frowned slightly and stretched out her right hand filled with Phoenix power toward the gem.

"buzz"

The moment her palm came into contact with the Soul Gem, Laura heard a sound like an auditory hallucination. A moment later, she really heard the clear voice transmitted from inside the gem:

"Hello, Richard's daughter."

Come on, it turns out that on Vormir, Red Skull’s “Son of XXX (female)” who starts acting like a thief when he sees someone coming, learned it from you?

"Hello, you know a lot, but in order to communicate on an equal footing, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

Laura glanced with interest at the gem that was changing with orange light in the palm of her right hand.

"My name and origin? Hmm..."

Regarding this question, the soul gem fell into silence for a long time, and then spoke again after a while:

"My memory, which I just woke up from slumber half a minute ago, is too huge and confusing. It will probably take a long time to sort it out. As for now, you can call me...Adam."

The first half of the soul stone's sentence confused Laura. If the guy she was talking to woke up half a minute ago, then who was the "person" who bewitched Thanos on the battlefield a few hours ago and assisted him in mobilizing the power of the other Infinity Stones? ?

This question just emerged, and the name in the second half of the sentence shocked Laura.

In the Marvel world, there seems to be only one Adam who is the most famous and has a complicated past with the Soul Stone - Adam Warlock.

Laura didn't have a deep impression of this superhero who had joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. She only knew that in some timelines, this guy seemed to have become the Tribunal of Life, and his power was higher than that of Annihilation, Death, Eternity, Infinity, and Swallowing in that universe. Star is the five great gods of creation.

"Adam, why did you say you were awakened just now? Don't you have any impression of everything that happened before?"

Laura decided to explore the background of this guy, and the answer she got was either true or false. At least she wanted to get some information and intelligence from it. After all, if the person she was talking to now was really the warlock Adam, she would still need it. Treat with caution.

"Yes, I just woke up from a long slumber. As for the memory... As I said just now, my memory is still very mixed."

The voice coming from the soul gem had no emotional fluctuations, and was somewhat delayed and stuck, as if it was a robot speaking.

"Emmm, let me ask another question. Have you sensed the power that awakened you? What characteristics does it have? Have you noticed anything wrong with yourself?"

Laura asked three questions in quick succession.

This time, the soul gem was silent for a longer time, but Laura was not in a hurry. Anyway, she had nowhere to go until Tony came back to rebuild the quantum channel opening device after dealing with the aftermath of the end game.

"You have one of the two breaths of power on your body, which represents the impermanent but passionate power of life."

The first answer from the soul gem made Laura a little confused. She had fully used the destruction, destruction and erosion characteristics of the Phoenix Force, but what the hell is the vitality?

"The other kind of breath is completely opposite to it, quiet, silent and silent."

Laura frowned and thought for a moment. The only one who could match her and had appeared before was Sister Rufeng. Could it be that her Phoenix Power and Death Power had awakened the Adam she was talking to now?

“As for the last question, I did find a lot of things that were wrong.

My memory is still confusing, but one thing I remember clearly is that according to the plan I made before falling asleep, after waking up, I will seem to be a person who is closely connected to everything around me, full of energy, and with a complete internal world. , the existence of clear goals. "

The words slowly spoken by the soul gem made Laura basically certain that this guy was Adam the Warlock, and he was also the one who might become the Tribunal of Life. So what happened to make this guy who was supposed to be the member of the multiverse What if the manager is in this weak state of confusion, memory confusion, and lack of energy?

"My inner world is energy-deficient and desolate. I woke up too early, and I deviated too far from my plan. Soon, I will be forced to fall asleep again, unable to find out the truth. .”

The light of the soul gem began to languish, and the voices coming from it became weaker and weaker.

"Lara Croft, the daughter of Richard and Amelia, the reborn phoenix! Please listen to my request!

No matter which universe or world it is, please find me as soon as possible and then truly wake me up! Otherwise, everything known will face an unspeakable disaster! Remember! Remember! Remember! ! ! "

Like a flashback, the soul gem once again lit up with a dazzling orange light. After conveying this last sentence to Laura very clearly, the light disappeared instantly, and the gem itself appeared with a "pop" because the energy was completely exhausted. crack.

"Hey! Laura! I just wasted a little more time dealing with those guys in suits and ties, why did you ruin the soul gem?!"

The safety door of the laboratory opened, and Stark, who was slightly panting, made an anxious sound.

Laura shook her head slowly and spread her palm towards him. She saw that the soul gem had become as inconspicuous as the most common stone by the stream, and it was covered with cracks.

"If I say I didn't do it, would you believe it?"
