Stark Tower.
The scepter lay quietly on the experimental table. As always, a layer of pale blue data streams shimmered around it, much like the digital projections cast by Jarvis.
The data streams flowed at an incredibly rapid pace, exceeding the limits of human perception.
Jarvis was decoding the scepter.
This task had been ongoing for nearly a month.
Finally.
Beep, beep, beep! A notification suddenly sounded.
The data stream swirling around the scepter suddenly shifted, transforming into something resembling source code.
"Decoding complete!"
A single line of text began to flash.
"Sir, the scepter's decoding is complete!"
Jarvis's voice was filled with excitement. The arduous task, which had lasted nearly a month, was finally finished.
Clap!
Tony Stark, who had been working, heard this and a look of excitement spread across his face. He clapped his hands and immediately stood up, walking over to the scepter.
He glanced at the source code data stream, and his excitement was difficult to contain.
From the initial quantification to the current decoding, it had taken almost nine months in total, but it was finally done.
Such a long time was truly a "masterpiece" for Tony Stark; he'd never spent this long on his Iron Man armor research.
"Jarvis, well done!" Tony Stark couldn't help but praise.
"Sir, I can download all the scepter's data at any time. Shall we begin now?" Jarvis asked Tony Stark for his opinion.
"No."
Tony Stark shook his head, "We won't do it that way. I want you to use the code you've decoded and then, according to the scepter's encoding method, copy a program."
No matter what, it was the Mind Stone, containing the most powerful force in the universe. Tony Stark understood that this kind of existence was definitely not something you fully grasped just by decoding it.
The Mind Stone was definitely not that simple.
What he had decoded was only a portion of the Mind Stone's power, nothing more.
But the Mind Stone might also possess other, no, it definitely possesses energies that even Jarvis can't detect, energies beyond the scope of technological measurement.
It's like the inner strength that Black Widow possesses.
The world's most advanced scientific instruments can't detect it, and neither can Jarvis's scans, as long as Black Widow doesn't use her inner strength.
But that thing is undeniably real.
The Mind Stone must be the same.
So, after Tony Stark pondered for a while, to be on the safe side, it was still more reliable for him to create a new program himself.
"Sir, if that's the case, you'll first need to establish America's largest and most advanced data center."
Jarvis said.
"Let's get started then! This isn't a problem for me at all. Can America even find someone richer than me?"
Tony Stark shrugged, his expression completely matter-of-fact.
For him, anything that could be solved with money was a trivial matter.
"Understood, sir. I'll begin preparations now... Sir, our satellites have detected something." Jarvis's voice suddenly turned serious, cutting off mid-sentence.
Without Tony Stark needing to say anything more, Jarvis projected the relevant images in front of him.
Tony Stark glanced at the display, and his expression instantly became extremely grave.
Because the images Jarvis projected showed ship after ship of alien spacecraft. Those alien ships, using jump points, appeared in space one after another, as if teleporting.
In a short time, a starfleet had assembled.
"Sir, it's an alien fleet! Judging by their trajectory, they're heading straight for Earth!" Jarvis's voice immediately followed.
"How long until they enter the atmosphere?" Tony Stark asked immediately, his voice serious.
"Sir, based on their speed, approximately three hours," Jarvis replied instantly.
"Three hours... I hope that's enough time."
Tony Stark's expression was grave. Without wasting any time, he immediately contacted Nick Fury.
"What did you say, Stark? An alien fleet is invading Earth?"
Nick Fury was stunned by the news, completely caught off guard.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had its own satellites, they weren't as advanced as the surveillance satellites Tony Stark had developed specifically to deal with alien invasions.
Besides, their satellites have other specific uses, not for interstellar surveillance.
So, they haven't discovered anything yet.
"Is it the Chitauri fleet?" Nick Fury asked immediately.
"It's not the Chitauri fleet, nor does it seem like Thanos' fleet. I don't recognize what fleet it is," Tony Stark replied. "This isn't the time to discuss this. You notify Thor immediately! I'll notify the others! We'll assemble at the base!"
"OK!" Nick Fury responded, quickly moving to a suitable location and shouting into the air, "Heimdall, this is Nick Fury. We have an emergency here. Earth is under attack by an alien fleet. Please notify Thor immediately!"
Tony Stark also notified Captain America, Black Widow, Dr. Banner, and Hawkeye Barton in the first instance, and dispatched an Iron Man armor to pick them up.
About twenty minutes later, everyone began to gather at the Questioners' base.
Thor also arrived.
"Stark, what's the situation?"
Captain America asked Tony Stark, his face grave. The others present wore equally serious expressions.
Tony Stark dispensed with pleasantries, producing a high-tech tablet and swiping it forward.
A digital projection materialized before them. They saw dozens of secondary capital ships and a single main ship rapidly approaching Earth.
"Who are the enemy?" Black Widow asked.
"Not yet clear. We'll get the interior ship footage in a bit, and my armor needs some time," Tony Stark replied, shaking his head. "But it's definitely not the Chitauri or Thanos. This isn't their fleet style."
Everyone in the command center frowned. Besides those two, who else could be invading Earth?
Could Thanos have sent another fleet?
But no one knew the specifics.
"My people are ready. Falcon wings and energy guns. Five teams, over ninety people. They should be able to do something," Nick Fury said. "But such a small number won't be very effective. They're just a last resort. We can't let the fleet land. We need to stop them in the atmosphere. Stark."
At this point, Nick Fury turned his gaze to Tony Stark, and said heavily, "I think it's time to put those suits you've been working on to use."
"But I only have a hundred or so suits. We're dealing with a fleet!" Tony Stark wasn't optimistic. "That won't be very effective either."
A hundred suits would be a terrifying mechanical army on Earth, but in a space fleet?
It wouldn't be enough.
A drop in the bucket.
"Could we do something like in the Battle of New York? Have Stark's armor launch a nuke and blow up those fleets?"
Hawkeye Barton suggested.
But before anyone could shoot down his idea, he dismissed it himself, "Never mind. I figure they've probably got interceptors."
The Chitauri fleet's lack of interceptors still seemed unbelievable to everyone.
No one thought this situation was particularly relevant. Generally, fleets that had reached interstellar travel capabilities wouldn't be without interceptors.
Using the same method that took down the Chitauri probably wouldn't work. They'd likely be intercepted and shot down long before reaching their targets.
After Hawkeye Barton's words, a slight silence fell over the room.
"Besides nukes, don't we have any other way to deal with the alien fleet?" Dr. Banner, unable to contain the oppressive atmosphere, asked, glancing at everyone.
"Regrettably, Banner, not at the moment, we don't," Nick Fury said, shaking his head, sounding somewhat dejected.
They discussed a few more things, but couldn't come up with a good method to stop the enemy fleet in outer space.
After all, Earth's current overall strength was what it was, and doing something like that was indeed difficult.
"Everyone, I have an idea, but it's a bit risky," Tony Stark seemed to have an idea after a heated discussion, and he said to everyone.
"Stark, now isn't the time to consider how risky it is," Captain America immediately said to Tony Stark, "Letting the alien fleet land on Earth is the biggest risk!"
"Stark, tell us your idea," Black Widow urged from the side.
"After returning from the Dark World last time, I thought it was a bit of a waste that Malekith's warships were just blown up, so I did some things."
"I sent some suits of armor into the critical point, collected a lot of wreckage from the Dark Elf warships, and got a lot of inspiration from them, learning a key technology."
"What technology, Stark?"
Dr. Banner asked with a sparkling gaze, he felt that Tony Stark should have learned something remarkable.
"The technology to make spaceships invisible."
Sure enough, Tony Stark's words immediately brightened Dr. Banner and everyone present.
The Dark Elf fleet's stealth technology had left too deep an impression on everyone. It was a technology that could even deceive Heimdall's eyes!
"I used this technology to build a few suits of armor, but because the time was too short, I haven't had time to test them."
"Then why don't we use this opportunity to test them," Thor interrupted Tony Stark, saying, "Can you let your stealth armor take a nuclear bomb into outer space?"
"That doesn't make sense, because nuclear bombs can't be made invisible, so we won't send a nuclear bomb up there, we'll send a person up there."
Tony Stark said heavily, "We can use the stealth armor to send a few people up there, sneak into their ship, and control or destroy their warship from the inside!"
Everyone present was immediately invigorated. Although Tony Stark's method was a bit risky, it had to be said that it was feasible.
"But there's a prerequisite: Stark's stealth armor must be undetectable by the enemy," Black Widow said calmly, not letting the excitement cloud her judgment.
"Sir! Success!"
At this moment, Jarvis's voice suddenly rang out, filled with excitement, "'Red Carp' has perfectly completed the infiltration. It has flown to the outside of their main ship without being detected. Now initiating the X-ray mode to scan the inside of the warship!"
"Everyone, now we can confirm it!" Tony Stark shrugged, looking like he was the best.
"When I just received the news, I sent out a stealth armor, mainly for reconnaissance."
"To be honest, I only had a seventy-two percent chance of success, but the facts prove that my technology is flawless, as always."
Tony Stark puffed out his chest, looking smug.
"Alright, people, we have visuals."
Next, Jarvis projected the images scanned by Red Carp onto the screen.
Images from inside the enemy's main ship immediately appeared before them.
However, they didn't have much time to study the images themselves, leaving the analysis to the specialists in the command center.
They then began discussing who would go into space to carry out Tony Stark's daring plan.
The final decision was that all six original Avengers would go.
"Come on, let's do this!" Tony Stark's voice rang out, full of energy and enthusiasm.
Speaking, Tony Stark casually asked, "Jarvis, are the stealth suits ready?"
"All suits are in position, sir!"
"Alright, let's go meet them!"
After Tony Stark finished speaking, he walked to the door of the command room and pulled it open. At that moment, a row of suits flew in one after another.
Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Dr. Banner, Hawkeye Barton – a suit landed beside each of them. Without any further ado, everyone climbed in.
Clunk clunk clunk! The suits whirred and shifted, encasing each of them.
