Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 3

"..."

An alien spaceship appeared in New York City yesterday morning. Iron Man recognized it immediately and it was there. It has been out of contact for a long time since then, and Stark Industries' stock has started to decline today.

The news article contained this content, and also included a clip from a recorded news broadcast by an American television station. Pendragon was completely bewildered when he saw it; the saying that everyone in the Ministry of Shock and Secrets was a genius was truly well-deserved!

Putting aside the title full of flaws, Pendragon's first reaction upon seeing the spaceship was, "Holy crap, could this be my own spaceship?"

But the spaceship looks different. Look at that huge ring-shaped device in the video, and Tony Stark's magnified, regretful face next to it. Isn't this a scene from Avengers: Infinity War?

Where's the promised anime world? Even if I don't have to come and save humanity, at least go to Fuyuki City and enjoy a peaceful life!

Pendragon had just watched "Avengers: Infinity War" before his time travel, and he remembered the plot very clearly. He'll probably hear that crisp snap of his fingers soon!

(Parallel World: In order to capitalize on Marvel's popularity, Ruizhan's operations team opened up the rerun of BX after the release of Avengers: Infinity War. Lao Pan's 777 stone accounts are the total including Valentine's Day.)

"No! Absolutely not!"

Pendragon shook his head like a rattle-drum, and his fickle tuft of hair swayed along with it.

With a snap of the fingers, all beings are equal, and half of all life in the universe is randomly wiped out! The power of the Infinity Stones is terrifying!

Despite the fact that his mysterious gadgets were just as impressive in terms of lore, Pendragon still didn't want to gamble on the 50/50 chance...

What if Black Bean Paste perishes along with the Infinity Gauntlet, and is torn to pieces as well?

Having overcome his initial apprehension, Pendragon gradually calmed himself down, pondering countermeasures. His dark golden eyes stared blankly at the computer screen.

It seems the only option left is to steal Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet.

Before Pendragon has collected all six Infinity Stones, he probably won't be too worried about Thanos with five stones... I guess.

The key is to take things by surprise, observe secretly first, and then seize the opportunity to assassinate the big boss and find a way to give him a good beating!

While his memory was still exceptionally clear, Pendragon carefully reviewed the plot of the movie in his mind.

No, the most important thing now seems to be confirming whether this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the Marvel Comics Universe.

Pendragon had never followed American comics, so if he were to follow the comic book's plot, he would be completely lost.

"So, intelligence!"

When adapting anime into a movie, there are bound to be many changes to the plot, and even some character designs may undergo radical changes.

For example, Thanos, who plays a pure villain in the comics, was actually whitewashed into a family planning director after being adapted into a movie, and a tragic hero persona was forcibly implanted into him. Pendragon was shocked when he saw the movie.

As long as the major events concerning each hero in this timeline match the stories in the movies, then it can be said that this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

chapter Five

Conversely, Pendragon would have to find a way to travel through time as quickly as possible.

When it comes to obtaining intelligence, especially top-secret intelligence that is not accessible to the general public, the fastest way is still through hacking and network intrusion.

The crappy computer in the hotel was obviously not up to the task and was kicked away.

Pendragon pulled out his personal computer.

The military, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even the Federal Security Service are all targets of Pendragon's intrusions.

Although the intelligence he needed to access was highly classified and existed only within the core internal networks of these violent organizations, it was absolutely impossible to infiltrate the external network unless one could break into these organizations.

Regardless of technology, this already represents physical isolation.

However, Pendragon's quantum computer was a cutting-edge technology that was ahead of its time. Although he himself knew nothing about hacking, the intrusion program in the quantum computer could help him solve all these problems.

By simply hacking into three communication satellites and utilizing their powerful global signal coverage, the entire Earth's network can be accessed like data on a personal computer's hard drive, allowing for easy browsing and keyword searches.

"It's a cinematic universe."

Pendragon let out a soft sigh, pushed up his glasses, and revealed a knowing look in his eyes.

Because the major events Pendragon needs to verify are relatively low-secrecy, they don't require physical keys, so he is very fast.

Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were dispatched at the fastest speed in history, by the time they arrived at the hotel, Pendragon had already flown away on the White Emperor's Holy Sword, the number one sword in China.

Wakanda, a technologically advanced and isolated nation in Africa within the Marvel Universe, is the unluckiest of the unluckiest.

Pendragon's optical computer marked the location, and it immediately activated navigation to fly there.

Unlike TV series, movies are fast-paced stories, and he was afraid that if he arrived too late, he would have to wait for fate to decide his fate.

This time, the global network was hacked by Pendragon's quantum computer, and the reconnaissance satellites in space became useless. When the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent received the news, he almost scratched his head in frustration. However, faced with a cutting-edge technology that was a generation ahead of its time, he began to question his life.

Pendragon's exceptional dynamic vision allowed him to see clearly even while flying at supersonic speeds. When a black panther statue made of an unknown material came into view, Pendragon sheathed his evil sword mid-air.

Although Wakanda is currently isolated from the world and protected by layers of defenses, including but not limited to optical invisibility and electromagnetic barriers, much like a protective array in a fantasy world, Pendragon's quantum computer is like a magic weapon to break the array, having already controlled the "eye" of the array, rendering all these defenses ineffective against him.

Skipping King Black Panther's permission, Pendragon passed through the secure entrance and entered the most technologically advanced place on Earth.

"Perfect, I really am the strongest Assassin."

Walking through the air and approaching the Black Panther's palace undetected, Pendragon was quite pleased with his performance.

He discovered that using telekinesis to suspend his waist in mid-air was incredibly stupid. By leveraging his exceptional sense of balance, creating a "board" to step on was a remarkably simple task.

After quickly mastering the technique, Pendragon can run, jump, walk, and even sit or lie down to rest in mid-air!

I checked the King's call logs and found that Captain America and his crew, along with Vision, are on their way and should be here in about half a day.

While developing technology, Wakanda also preserved its original natural landscape. The city was built in an oasis, surrounded by vegetation and grasslands, and Pendragon even discovered herds of wild animals in the distance.

No lion pride has been spotted yet, otherwise I could have petted the big cats for a while.

Pendragon landed beneath a flat-topped acacia tree, its umbrella-like canopy casting large shadows on the grass.

Pendragon leaned against the tree trunk, its thorns trimmed, and in the distance, long, wispy clouds met the grey-green grass, creating a serene scene.

After watching the giraffes in the distance for a while, Pendragon used his magic to weave a famous book from this world to read and pass the time.

After all, he's portrayed as a literary youth, so isn't it only natural that he finds peace in reading? Oh, and we should also play another piece by Chopin.

Connecting a quantum computer to a translator in your ear—how about trying out the Pure Land of Bliss?

Thanos's army is on its way in spaceships.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion transformed into a tangible sonic wave that swept across the land, uprooting trees along its path and scattering large amounts of soil in its wake.

A spaceship's drop capsule landed on the palace's electromagnetic barrier and exploded in flames.

The air, compressed to its limit, spread outwards with the immense kinetic energy generated by falling from outer space. This force uprooted trees, ripped through lawns, and shattered large amounts of lake water into mist, like the wrath of a god.

Pendragon was not far from the Black Panther's palace, in a location where the shockwave was strongest!

The massive tree, which required two people to encircle, was swung around as if by an invisible giant hand. Along the way, a giraffe, dazed by the sonic boom, was grazed by the rough bark, and half of its body instantly turned into a mushy mess.

"Click."

Fresh sawdust flew everywhere, and when the sound waves reached a certain tree, they were like waves hitting a reef, instantly creating a gash.

The massive tree trunk that crashed down on Pendragon shattered in two, as if he had carved out an inviolable territory on this land, not even a speck of dust drifting towards him.

"..."

The book in Pendragon's hand transformed into magic and merged into the air. He swallowed the black bean paste he was chewing and felt that he had to say something to match his current demeanor.

"...The wind is so noisy today."

After holding back for a moment, Pendragon pushed up his glasses and sighed in an awkward yet poetic tone.

As the drop pods were deployed one by one, the remaining creatures, instead of stubbornly confronting the protective shield like idiots, surrounded the Black Panther's palace and released a massive number of four-armed alien orphans.

This scene is unparalleled by any blockbuster; it is shocking, tragic, and countless lives were lost in the apocalypse.

Pendragon watched for a while, then began to sneak towards the palace.

P.S.: My internet was down yesterday, and then...emmmmmm

Chapter Six has a bold idea

Chapter Six

Thanos's ultimate goal is the Mind Stone, so he has to keep a close eye on it. If something goes wrong, he'll have to rely on luck, which isn't exciting at all.

Because the king opened a gap in the electromagnetic barrier, Pendragon didn't encounter many alien orphans; this six-armed creature in front of him was the third.

"In an instant, the Shadowless Sword!"

Shouting out the name of a move during battle is a man's romance. This creature in front of him clearly has extraordinary bones; it's only two heads short of being on par with the Third Prince. Pendragon didn't hesitate to unleash his ultimate move.

In an instant, a figure in a black suit split into countless afterimages, mercilessly slicing the poor alien creature that had unintentionally gotten lost!

The afterimage vanished in an instant, and Pendragon stood next to the alien creature he had just encountered, catching his breath slightly.

He himself didn't know how many times he slashed with his sword. Anyway, as the victim, every piece of flesh and bone on the alien creature's body was evaporated by the high temperature generated by the evil holy sword, leaving only a wisp of black smoke at the scene.

Perhaps cutting its fragments down to the cellular level is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not that much of an exaggeration either.

"Rumble!"

Thanos's army seemed to have unleashed some powerful attack; Pendragon felt the ground shaking violently, and the commotion caused by that thing completely drowned out all the gunshots and explosions.

"Was that Scarlet Witch who just flew away with a red glow?"

Pendragon also quickened his pace. Princess Suri should have already begun the surgery to remove the Mind Stone from Vision. He used his computer to locate the laboratory.

Huh, another alien monster?

Pendragon, in a hurry to get the Mind Stone, didn't think much and used his telekinesis to crush it.

"Paji."

Pendragon paused slightly and looked back.

The humanoid monster that he just turned into a puddle of green juice, it seems, was the one who went to steal the Mind Stone in the movie. It was a minor leader under Thanos, an elite monster.

"Stop!"

"Identify yourself!"

When the two African warriors guarding the entrance to the palace saw Pendragon approaching, they immediately raised their spears and aimed them at the man whose skin was so white it was almost blinding.

He's so handsome, and he's wearing a suit—a typical European. If it weren't for the alien invasion, and if this guy were human, they would have already stabbed him with two spears.

"I'm here to raid."

Pendragon spoke in a stern voice, his aloof demeanor reminiscent of a domineering CEO.

Pi was delighted. While the two were still stunned, Pendragon unleashed a telekinetic attack, and two loud "bangs" were heard—

The two African brothers slammed their backs against the wall and slid to the ground.

Pendragon controlled his strength, not knocking them unconscious directly. Given their physical condition, their bodies would be paralyzed for two to five minutes, the exact time depending on their physical abilities.

The guards they encountered next were treated in the same way. In order to save time, Pendragon did not give them a chance to speak and directly subjected them to two minutes of electrotherapy.

laboratory.

Princess Suri would have needed to carefully reconnect Vision's more than two trillion neural synapses in order to remove the Mind Stone without damaging Vision.

However, Pendragon had already hacked into the lab's equipment using a quantum computer halfway there and completed the calculations in a matter of seconds.

"This...it actually worked?...I did it?"

Princess Suli was a little confused. According to normal procedures, shouldn't it take much longer? No, she didn't do anything, and then everything moved on its own and the surgery was completed?

"Thanks."

Before Princess Suli and Vision could even process what was happening, they heard a commotion at the door, and all the guards responsible for security were knocked down.

The next second, the Mind Gem, which was fixed in place by two supports, "whooshed" into the hands of a young man in a suit.

Legend has it that no gem can judge whether the person who possesses it is qualified to use its power; weak life forms will have their bodies eroded by the power the moment they come into contact with the gem.

Pendragon didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The gem in his palm released a continuous stream of warm energy that spread along his arm and instantly took hold in his brain!

"This is the power of the Mind Gem."

Pendragon's dark golden eyes narrowed suddenly, and he smiled.

Rather than saying it was a pleasant surprise, it was a delightful surprise.
