[Zongmeiying] Wait, am I going to die?

——That was a long time ago, belonging to the memory of a deceased person.

Howard Stark had met that man twice.

The first time was when a guest in a black cloak knocked on his door the day before the super serum program started.

The moment he opened the door, he was quite frightened, and even thought that Hydra's agents had found this secret place.

However, the spirit of the researcher made him calm down and listened to the other party's intentions.

——This is really dangerous.

But Howard never regretted it.

He could tell at a glance that the other party was not an ordinary human being.

However, Elrond, who is no ordinary person, just hopes that he can take good care of his children.

"He will be your hero."

After the black-robed man finished saying this, he quietly disappeared at the door. Howard still doesn't understand how the other party didn't disturb anyone to come to his door.

But this did not prevent him from keeping the other party's words in his heart.

The development of things later was a bit tortuous, but Steve Rogers is undoubtedly a hero.

The second time was after the end of World War II.

It was the same night, and it was the same polite knock on the door. He opened the door and found a familiar guest standing outside.

Howard was no longer young at that time, but the appearance of the visitor did not change at all.

The shimmering guest in the night looked even more inhuman than last time, but Howard hadn't bothered to pursue that—he'd just completed a plan to find and salvage Captain America.

"I'm sorry," Howard said, sincerely.

In the process of working with Captain America and Sergeant Barnes, he heard that Steve had an "unusual" adoptive father. For Howard, the answer couldn't be more obvious.

The elf lord shook his head.

"My fate with that child is not over, and we will meet again one day."

This sentence lights up Howard's hope.

"You mean—"

"Fate has its own trajectory. Maybe you can't see it with your own eyes, but it is indeed ahead." The elf's elegant tone soothed Howard's heart of losing his friend.

"Thank you, but I will not give up the plan to search." Howard knew that the other party did not come to comfort him, so he waited quietly for Elrond to speak.

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." The elf lord took out a box that could be held with one hand from his arms. There were beautiful patterns on the box, like giant trees and stars.

"Please give this to Thranduil."

Howard took the box—there was no gap in the top of the box, and it was only his own guess that it was even a box.

"Where can I find him? And how do I know which Thranduil you're after?"

The elf tilted his head, revealing a mysterious smile.

"There is no need to look for it, he will know - please give it to Thranduil of Sinda."

Howard didn't understand the hints in Elrond's words until he fell in a pool of blood, and he hesitated to speak at the time of parting.

Looking at the familiar stranger who didn't look like a human being in front of him, the scene of drinking and chatting with Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.They talked loudly about all the wonderful plans for after the war.

——Ah, what I wanted to do at the beginning has been realized, and I hope that you will realize your wishes in the more distant future.

The Winter Soldier looked at his target, he didn't understand why this person could still smile when he died, even though he couldn't remember the previous mission, it didn't hinder his understanding of death - full of fear.

That doubt quickly sank into the bottom of his heart, unable to cause any waves.

"mission completed."

※※※

Curious about what his father was going to give to Thranduil, Tony Stark ran back and forth in his free time.

Throwing the box to Thranduil casually, Iron Man pretended not to care, while keeping glances at the movement of the Elf King.

——He will not admit that he has tried a series of methods such as scanning and cutting to know what is inside, but all of them failed in the end, as if there is an invisible force protecting this small box.

——Please, the old man has been dead for so long and no one has come to claim it. Of course he thinks this thing has been forgotten by the owner!He just wanted to know if there were any clues about his master inside, and he didn't mean to pry into the secret at all.

Thranduil looked at the familiar patterns, the giant wood and stars reminded him of the gate of Moria, and when the box fell into his hand, he felt the wind of Middle-earth.

Gentle and fierce, the atmosphere flows around him, and the power of protection shines in the invisible vision of ordinary people. The light comes from a blue gemstone, from the soul of a great craftsman.

"Via."

the Elf King murmured.

As his words fell, the lines on the box glowed with white light, and when the light filled all the black lines, the box was easily opened, and the ring of Qi full of power shone in the box.

--This is impossible.

The Elf King frowned.

The Lord of the Rings was destroyed, Sauron died, and the Three Rings of the Elf also lost their power. Via should not be so intact.

※※※

Loki who was locked up suddenly opened his eyes.

The evil god felt a power no less than his scepter, and what was even more strange was that their power came from the same source, as if they came from one place.

— This is a variable for his plan.

The arrogant man from the Kingdom of God rolled his eyes a few times and decided to wait and see what happened.

※※※

"What is this? Magic? I saw such an unscientific thing!" Iron Man stared at the ring in Thranduil's palm, as if he wanted to study the principle of this thing right away...

Even Dr. Banner looked at Weiya with interest. He and the big guy in his body felt a sense of comfort and tranquility, and the anger in his body subsided a little!

"This is my father's ring." Steve Rogers looked at Iron Man in surprise.

He had seen his father look at the ring he took off countless times with complicated eyes, and that ring must have special meaning to him.

——Why does Howard have Ada's ring?

"It's Via, the Ring of Qi." Thranduil said flatly.

He didn't wonder why Steve Rogers didn't know the exact name of the ring. With the personality of the Lord of Imlatri, he would certainly not tell his young human adopted son about the cruel war in Middle-earth, nor would he tell about his own brilliant achievements.

Thranduil rubbed the ring, but didn't put it on for a long time. He didn't understand why Elrond gave him the ring, but the Three Rings of the Elf are not something that can be worn casually, especially when it is When inexplicably becoming full of strength.

—I hope this world does not have a Supreme Lord of the Rings.

"Hey, guys, do you feel that the power of this ring is somewhat similar to that of the scepter?" Everyone turned their heads to look at the only woman present who spoke out, and she pointed to Loki's scepter, which was also emitting blue light.

"The power of the Rubik's Cube." Steve thought of the blue cube, the so-called infinite energy.

——Could it be that this ring absorbed the power of this world after it came to this world.

Thranduil thought silently.

The people around, especially the big man from the God Realm and Iron Man, who is always twice as curious as others, turned their eyes back to the silent Elf King again.

One wonders if the ring has anything to do with the Rubik's Cube or Loki and God Realm.

Another wondered what was so wonderful about the ring that had been handed by Howard to the Elven King who appeared in this world decades later.

Thranduil glanced at Palladia beside him, and the White Hart seemed to be urging him to put on the ring.

He put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

The moment he put it on, the ring emitted a blue light, and the surrounding scene changed, and everyone in this room saw a clear picture.

In the unknown empty room, the ice spread and the air-conditioning overflowed. In the middle of the frost, a huge freezer was wrapped, and a figure floated inside the freezer.

His eyes are closed, his face does not look young or old, but there is a sense of peace and tranquility, even if he is trapped in the ice, it still makes people feel good.

"Roar--"

Everyone put on a fighting posture amidst a lion's roar, only two figures did not move.

Steve Rogers.

Thranduil.

Captain America knew the familiar voice. He turned his head and saw his adoptive father's Alpha.

The white lion lay quietly on the ice, like a part of Frost, its blue eyes blinked at Steve Rogers, and then turned to the white stag beside Thranduil.

Palladia walked up to Alpha and touched the lion's forehead lightly, with sadness in his gray eyes.

Thranduil felt the long-lost anger——

He knew who the figure in the ice was!

"Elrond!"

As soon as the Elf King took a step forward, the scene in front of him fell apart and shattered into pieces, and they returned to the original place.

"...What is that? Collective hallucination?" Tony Stark tried to liven up the atmosphere, but obviously the repressed anger of the Elf King and Captain America was not so easy to calm down.

No one thought it was an illusion, it was so real, so real that even superheroes who have seen all kinds of magical sights are still shocked by the wonderful sight.

"The surrounding environment is a bit like a laboratory." Bruce objectively analyzed what he saw. His words made the Elf King turn his head slightly, so others also spoke.

"There are some codes on those frozen instruments, and I will check their whereabouts." Natasha's observation ability as a spy agent is absolutely second to none.

"Hey, hey, guys, I know you are very interested in the old Popsicle's father, but who remembers that Loki is still locked here?" Iron Man clapped his hands, showing an innocent expression, "If you find the Rubik's Cube , can you let this big man use the power of the Rubik's Cube to help find Mr. Rogers' father?"

--Oh!

The scheduled Avengers in the room showed stunned expressions.

——I'm sorry they really forgot about Loki.
