NOVEL NEXT
Chapter 75: Chapter 74
With Fang Mo's help, the intense New York War, which had caused a global uproar, finally came to an end.
Thor wasn't stabbed by his younger brother with a small knife, and Stark didn't sacrifice himself by sending a nuclear bomb into the wormhole.
Even Coulson, who had died in the original story, survived. The real instigator of the war was Nebula, Thanos' adopted daughter, not Loki. Although the Chitauri army still invaded, some details had changed.
After the war, the only person facing a real problem was Nick Fury.
He had defied orders and intercepted three planes carrying nuclear missiles. The dispute between both sides was ongoing.
In summary, Nick Fury was the only "casualty" of the event.
Fang Mo successfully acquired two more Infinity Stones as he had planned, namely the Tesseract and the Mind Stone. His mind was flooded with numerous prompt sounds.

Seeing so many modules unlocking, Fang Mo couldn't help but feel joyful. The Infinity Stones truly deserved their reputation as Marvel artifacts. Just one stone alone could unlock so many modules.
However, Fang Mo realized he still needed at least three more Infinity Stones after deducing from the prompts. Obtaining them wouldn't be easy.
The Power Stone, known as The Orb, should still exist, sealed on an unknown planet. In the original story, Star-Lord found it, so it might be relatively easier to locate. Asgard could establish connections with other cosmic civilizations. Fang Mo could contact the Ravagers to find Star-Lord or go to Xandar and wait for him.
The Reality Stone, in the form of the Aether, seemed to be sealed in Asgard's ancient battleground. There were two known ways to obtain it. One was to kill Malekith directly in Thor 2, and the other was to go to the Collector after Thor 2.
The Collector, Taneleer Tivan, was once powerful but had been weakened by Thanos in the movie. However, the most challenging part was acquiring the Soul Stone.
Getting the Soul Stone required making a sacrifice on Vormir, which frustrated Fang Mo. It seemed more complicated than trading with villagers in the Minecraft world.
Sacrificing himself was impossible, and Fang Mo didn't want to break up true love. So his remaining option was to let Thanos take Gamora to Vormir to exchange for the Soul Stone.
Although it could be obtained by reaching Vormir, the prerequisite was that one had to make a sacrifice.
Well, this is really frustrating. The most frustrating thing in the original story is this stone, with all its exaggerated claims. And the methods to obtain it are all about sacrificing lives. But after it was set in the gauntlet, Thanos only used it once or twice at most, leaving the audience confused about its true abilities. It claimed to be the foremost of the Infinity Stones.
Fang Mo was indeed troubled by the way to obtain the Soul Stone.
To be honest, this transaction is even more complicated than trading with villagers in the Minecraft world.
In any case, sacrificing himself is impossible. Not to mention that his loved ones and family are not here, even if they were, Fang Mo would never do such a foolish thing.
Currently, there are two ideas. One is to find a pair of unfortunate individuals and force them to sacrifice while Fang Mo seizes the opportunity to take the stone. However, Fang Mo feels disgusted by this approach. Didn't he call himself an advocate of love? That's true. Fang Mo really dislikes the feeling of breaking up true love.
He doesn't want himself to be torn apart, nor does he want to actively break up others.
Besides, the only other option left is to let Thanos take action himself, bringing Gamora to Vormir in exchange for the Soul Stone.
But speaking of Thanos, Fang Mo also had a headache about the upcoming plot. Currently, both Gamora and Nebula are on Earth. It would be quite troublesome to make Thanos actively seek out the Soul Stone, especially since it is the fourth stone on the Infinity Gauntlet in the original story.
Thanos must have carefully considered the order in which he acquired the stones, with the Power Stone being his first choice, followed by the teleportation ability of the Space Stone.
So it would be difficult to lure him into obtaining the Soul Stone earlier.
If Thanos loses control and attacks Fang Mo, accidentally getting himself killed, then Fang Mo might have to dig up the entire Vormir with a pickaxe.
"Sigh, it feels so troublesome..."
Fang Mo sighed. He really wants to obtain the other three stones, but it doesn't seem so easy now. If all else fails, maybe he should attach some luck to the pickaxe while digging Vormir. Who knows, he might just find the three Soul Stones?
While Fang Mo was contemplating the Soul Stone, the other Avengers had already started to wrap up the war.
First, regarding the captured Nebula, she had fallen from the sky twice in a row and was completely battered. When she was found, the Hulk was smashing her legs everywhere, clearly rendering her defenseless.
Currently, the group is discussing how to deal with her.
Hawkeye and Natasha, the two agents, naturally advocate taking her back to S.H.I.E.L.D. for imprisonment and interrogation.
However, the other Avengers, like Stark, have some reservations about S.H.I.E.L.D., to be honest. Even Captain America is a bit hesitant. After all, Fang Mo's previous warning was no joke. They truly believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. is following the path of Hydra, and even if they were to be interrogated, everyone should keep a close eye on it.
As for Thor, he suggests bringing Gamora and Nebula back to Asgard for questioning.
Of course, his reasons are also valid. Midgard (Earth) is one of the Nine Realms and falls within Asgard's jurisdiction. Now that there are aliens daring to challenge the authority of the Asgards, they must be severely punished.
He needs to bring Gamora and Nebula back for questioning, and Asgard needs to find a way to deal with these arrogant aliens.
However, while the Avengers were discussing the issue of the hostages, the nearby elevator suddenly opened, and a group of armed men walked out, surrounding a man who looked quite refined, wearing glasses.
The man with glasses looked around and then directly locked eyes with Fang Mo. He walked over and extended his hand, saying, "Please hand over the item to us."
