Great! Success!
Seeing the Soul Gem in Audrey's hand, everyone present couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of excitement in their eyes.
The plan went smoothly, and the Soul Gem was successfully obtained.
"This is what you need, right?"
Audrey's voice sounded, and she very wisely took the initiative to hand the Soul Gem to Nick Fury.
The bald man didn't stand on ceremony and quickly put the Soul Gem away.
"Thor?"
The bald man, who was in a great mood, then nodded at Thor.
Thor understood and didn't say much. He immediately contacted Heimdall.
Heimdall used the [G] Bifrost to transport everyone back to the [G] Avengers Base.
"Coulson, take Ms. Audrey home."
The moment they returned, Nick Fury ordered Coulson to take Audrey away.
Of course, having agreed to all of Audrey's conditions, Coulson would naturally handle everything properly.
From now on, the circumstances of Audrey's family would undergo a huge change, and she would live a different life.
So, what about the Avengers?
They naturally didn't leave, as they had another matter to attend to.
What matter?
To "seal" the [G] Soul Gem.
Or rather, to preserve the Soul Gem.
Ever since the Avengers reached a consensus to collect the Infinity Stones, the most powerful existences in the universe, how to preserve the Infinity Stones became a very important question.
After all, the power of the Infinity Stones was simply too great, so powerful that it could affect the entire universe.
Everyone had to be careful with their safekeeping.
And after much discussion among everyone during this period, they actually reached a consensus.
The Mind Gem, that is, Vision, would not be restricted in any way.
After all, Vision was already a very important Avenger.
The Tesseract was the same, kept in Asgard, and no one managed it.
But what about the other Infinity Stones besides the Tesseract and the Mind Gem?
For example, the Reality Gem obtained previously, the Soul Gem just acquired, and the Power Gem that would be obtained in the future.
Whether kept in Asgard or on Earth, it was clearly not a suitable choice.
To be honest, the risk was indeed too high.
The risk here didn't just refer to the risk of the Infinity Stones attracting all sorts of strong enemies to snatch them.
More importantly, it referred to the risk of the vast power corrupting and tempting the heart when wielding such immense power.
After all, how many people could remain indifferent in the face of power capable of changing the world or even destroying it?
If anyone truly succumbed to that temptation, it could potentially pose a massive threat to the entire universe.
Therefore,
After unanimous agreement among the Avengers, a method for preserving the other Infinity Stones was established.
In simple terms, it's similar to how Doctor Strange in the 838 universe, as seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, set up a relay station to safeguard the Book of the Vishanti.
The Avengers would also separately store the extra Infinity Stones within several Otherdimensional Spaces.
Furthermore, under this preservation state, no one could casually use the Infinity Stones.
In other words, no single individual would possess that authority.
To truly open an Otherdimensional Space and use the Infinity Stones, at least half of the Avengers members would have to agree.
Thus, those who possess the keys to the Otherdimensional Space will jointly produce the keys to open it and retrieve the Infinity Stones.
So, how is the Otherdimensional Space opened?
Simple, Asgardian magic can do it.
It's not a difficult task, just like how Odin sealed Hela.
To this end, Thor also specifically dispatched top-tier mages from Asgard, and they have already completed this work.
Then, in whose hands are the "keys" to open the Otherdimensional Space held?
It is precisely in the hands of the three giants of the Avengers: Thor, Captain America, and Tony Stark.
This is, so far, the safest, most reliable, and fairest plan that everyone can think of.
"OK, let's begin."
"Put this thing back where it belongs."
Captain America's voice rang out. He immediately took out his own "key" and also beckoned to Thor and Tony.
In Captain America's opinion, things like the Infinity Stones were far too dangerous. Every minute delayed in sealing them meant an increased risk.
If Earth didn't truly need these things, Captain America would absolutely not have agreed to everyone collecting such dangerous items.
"Aren't you being too hasty, Rogers?"
"We haven't even had a chance to properly admire them."
Tony immediately felt a bit speechless and said to Captain America, very dismissively.
"These aren't jewels, nor are they museum exhibits. They're not for us to admire."
"These are the most dangerous things in the entire universe!"
Captain America was also speaking with conviction.
"What a boring old stick-in-the-mud."
Tony grumbled softly, but he knew the stakes were high, and he could tell what was important.
So he didn't say much more, and also took out his "key".
On the other side, Thor did the same.
The three of them took out their keys separately and put them together.
The three keys were connected into one whole, and a dazzling light flashed from them.
Whoosh!
A space portal was opened just like that.
Even if Nick Fury was unwilling and reluctant, he understood that this was an unchangeable fact.
So, he obediently took out the Soul Gem and placed it into the space portal.
Seeing this, Captain America first took back his key, and the space portal immediately disappeared.
Tony and Thor did the same, each putting away their keys.
Whew! It wasn't until he watched the Soul Gem be placed into the Otherdimensional Space that Captain America finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"So, what now?"
The Red Guardian finally had a chance to speak, glancing at everyone. "We've already got the Soul Gem, can we contact the Eternals now?"
"That guy lying in the Earth's core, 'Tiamut', should be able to solve the problem, right? We already have three Infinity Stones."
It's worth mentioning that since Phastos left, Nick Fury has actually maintained contact with Ajak.
Ajak had already sent word that the Eternals were ready, they just needed the Infinity Stones.
And right now?
The Reality Gem and the Soul Gem were both in hand.
Plus Asgard's Tesseract, which is the Space Stone, they were all set!
They could officially start dealing with the Celestial Tiamut problem.
"Yes, I think it's time to meet with Ajak,"
Nick Fury said meaningfully.
Without any hesitation, [Nick Fury] immediately contacted [Ajak] and informed her of the relevant intelligence.
Upon hearing that the [Infinity Stones] were ready, [Ajak] didn't dare to delay.
She brought [Sersi] and [Phastos] with her at once.
Three days later, they gathered with the Avengers.
"So, you've already collected three [Infinity Stones]?"
After some brief pleasantries, [Ajak] immediately and earnestly confirmed with [Nick Fury].
"The [Stones] aren't the problem; the real issue is, have you resolved things with [Arishem]?"
[Nick Fury] also pointed out a crucial problem, "I don't want to bring a powerful 'Celestial' to Earth because of this."
"You can rest assured about that."
Ajak nodded, making a solemn promise, "I've already communicated with Arishem, and he has approved our plan."
The situation was indeed as Ajak had predicted earlier. Arishem's task for them was to ensure Tiamut's creation, and they hadn't actually impacted that at all.
They'd only made things a little more complex.
Considering that Ajak had followed Arishem for millions of years, Arishem certainly wouldn't refuse such a small request from her.
"Excellent!"
Nick Fury nodded, then asked Ajak another crucial question, "What about Ikaris? And Sprite? Will they cause problems?"
Ajak understood the question from Nick Fury.
Sersi had actually revealed to Ajak that, according to the "prophecy" of that "mysterious object," in the original future, Ikaris and Sprite were on the opposite side of everyone.
is against saving the Earth.
Even the Eternals broke out into a civil war because of this.
"No, no, no."
Ajak immediately shook her head. "I understand your worries and concerns, but this time, they won't be a problem."
This wasn't Ajak just trying to bullshit Nick Fury.
Since she had learned the relevant information from Sersi, how could Ajak not pay attention to this? She had already talked with Ikaris, a very in-depth conversation.
Because it wouldn't kill Tiamut, and wouldn't even affect Tiamut's creation, Ikaris indeed didn't express any opposition.
Moreover, now that even Arishem had nodded, how could Ikaris still cause trouble? "Can you guarantee this?"
Nick Fury was still a little uneasy about confirming, after all, this matter was indeed of great importance.
"I can guarantee it!"
Ajak said with a solemn oath.
"Nick Fury, Ikaris also agreed with our plan."
"Even Arishem agreed, there's no way he'd have any problems."
Sersi also added an explanation from the side.
"No, this kind of guarantee is far from enough for me."
Nick Fury shook his head, looking serious as he made a request to the Eternals, "I need another guarantee from you."
"What's the guarantee?"
Ajak couldn't help but ask.
"Ikaris and Sprite cannot participate in the upcoming actions."
"No, it's not just that they can't participate, they need to be completely isolated. They can't know anything related to it."
"You have to guarantee this. It's the foundation of everything. Otherwise, there's no need for this conversation."
Nick Fury's attitude was still very, very firm.
This matter was simply too important; he wasn't willing to take even the slightest risk.
Ajak and Sersi exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.
However, Ajak and Sersi understood Nick Fury's concerns.
After all, they weren't like the Eternals, who were so familiar with Ikaris and Sprite. So naturally, they couldn't trust them as much.
"If you insist."
Ajak shrugged. "Alright, I can guarantee that Ikaris and Sprite won't know anything about this operation."
"Until the problem with Tiamut is perfectly solved, is that alright?"
Nick Fury finally relaxed and began to formally discuss the next steps with Ajak and the others.
"Phastos, I trust you've solved the technical problems?"
The bald head immediately turned his gaze to Phastos to confirm.
"Now we're just missing the Infinity Stones."
Phastos nodded.
The research on the Infinity Stones was the most difficult part, and Phastos had already completed that work.
Next, what he had to do was extract the energy of the three Infinity Stones, "ripen" Tiamut, and protect Earth.
This part of the work was also somewhat difficult, but Phastos hadn't been idle during this time.
He had been preparing for quite some time.
"OK, can I hear your plan for the details?"
Nick Fury then made such a request to Phastos.
This request could be considered reasonable, so Phastos naturally wouldn't refuse.
Thus, he gave Nick Fury a brief introduction to some of the relevant operations.
Even though he couldn't understand everything, Nick Fury could grasp the general idea, and that was enough.
"If something unexpected happens, do we have a Plan B? A Plan C?"
"Do you have corresponding risk assessments?"
"Also, the Avengers will be overseeing this entire operation. I believe I've made that clear, haven't I?"
Following this, Nick Fury began discussing various related issues with Ajak and the others.
And these weren't simple questions. Nick Fury had only had preliminary communication with Ajak and the others.
Later on, Tony and Bruce Banner, the two tech experts, also joined in.
So did Vision, this "Infinity Stones user."
Both sides went into further, in-depth discussions about every detail of the operation.
By the time everything was finalized, it was already a week later.
There was no other way. No one dared to be careless about such an important operation.
Only after ensuring there were no problems in every aspect did both sides decide to formally proceed with this matter.
And so, the entire Avengers gathered together again, unanimously passing the "resolution" to use the Infinity Stones.
Even Thor brought the Tesseract from Asgard.
Then, the three giants of the Avengers produced their respective keys and retrieved the other two Infinity Stones, which were stored in two different dimensional spaces.
No further explanation was needed after that.
The entire Avengers team mobilized and "escorted" the three Infinity Stones, along with the Eternals who had been prepared long ago, to meet up.
"Thor, you're Thor, right?"
"You've grown so much!"
"Kingo, Gilgamesh, everyone, it's so great to see you all again!"
Thor immediately greeted the Eternals warmly.
Although more than a thousand years had passed, they had, after all, fought side by side, and that friendship still remained.
Seeing each other again, everyone was genuinely happy and excited.
"Everyone, let me introduce my companions!"
Thor then acted as a bridge, introducing the Avengers and the Eternals to each other.
With Thor's connection, and the fact that everyone was working towards the same goal,
the atmosphere on the scene was quite pleasant.
Nick Fury quietly glanced around and found that the two he was worried about, Ikaris and Sprite, were indeed not present.
He nodded silently in his heart.
"Alright everyone, I think it's time we set off."
After a bit of simple small talk between the two sides, they didn't waste any time and started their journey, boarding the Quinjet.
They went straight to the vast Gobi Desert.
For no other reason.
It was simply because it was uninhabited, so any commotion wouldn't be noticed by anyone.
"We have already completed the preliminary preparations."
Phastos led the way, introducing everything to everyone.
At the same time, his hands were constantly gesturing and operating in the void.
Buzz!
With Phastos's movements, the originally quiet Gobi Desert suddenly saw the ground churning.
One after another, enormous energy patterns that no one could understand appeared.
They stretched for more than ten kilometers, a truly spectacular sight.
"Now, we just need to continue working on this framework."
"But for this process, we need the Infinity Stones."
Phastos turned his gaze towards the Avengers.
The Avengers exchanged glances, and naturally, no one voiced any objections at this moment.
After all, this was all agreed upon.
Thor personally handed the stones to Phastos.
Phastos nodded, his hands waving gently. Several golden energy "devices" proactively incorporated the three Infinity Stones into the enormous "Magic Circle."
"OK."
Phastos then said solemnly to the Eternals, "Now, I need to connect each of us to control the Infinity Stones."
There was no other way; the power of the Infinity Stones was simply too vast.
Even for the Eternals, it wasn't something a single individual could handle.
They needed everyone to participate.
"And you as well."
Phastos added, turning his gaze back to the Avengers. "As you requested, I will also connect you."
"But I must reiterate, we can only succeed if we all move in perfect unison, otherwise, we will fail."
It's like a group snapping their fingers together; only if everyone's thoughts are aligned will the snap work.
This will prevent anyone with ulterior motives from using the Infinity Stones at a critical moment.
There's nothing more to say.
"Let's begin!"
Tony stepped forward and nodded to Phastos.
Captain America and Thor did the same.
As for the other Avengers, well, they weren't included.
Phastos didn't waste any time and got straight to work.
He connected all the Eternals present, along with the three core Avengers, to the system.
It took about half an hour to complete everything.
All the necessary preparations were finally finished.
"Everyone, it's about to begin!"
"The energy of the Infinity Stones will be released momentarily and controlled by all of us."
"As always, we must act in unison!"
"We've already established a plan, and we must stick to it!"
Phastos emphasized again.
Everyone's faces turned serious. At this crucial moment, no one dared to make a mistake.
Phastos then operated again, releasing the energy of the three Infinity Stones.
Buzz!
In an instant, the "Magic Circle" within a dozen kilometers flashed with extremely dazzling light.
The energy of the Infinity Stones was completely drawn out and, through the Magic Circle, was jointly controlled by everyone present.
"Everyone, act according to the plan, now!"
With Phastos's words, the Eternals and the three giants of the Avengers began to concentrate on controlling the Infinity Stones through the Magic Circle.
Whoosh! Immediately.
With the three Infinity Stones as the core, a majestic energy wave, enough to make one's heart skip a beat, surged outwards, the light stinging everyone's eyes.
Everyone felt a sense of suffocation, as if their hearts and throats were being clutched.
Their entire bodies stiffened, unable to move.
That was a natural reaction when faced with such immense energy.
But in the very next moment.
The vast energy vanished, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
Everyone floating in the air was gently placed on the ground by the Magic Circle.
The golden Magic Circle markings then disappeared, and the magnificent scenery spanning more than ten kilometers once again became the original Gobi desert.
Only three Infinity Stones were still floating quietly in the air.
"It's over just like that?"
Thor couldn't help but confirm with Phastos. It was too fast, wasn't it?
"It's over, everything is over!"
Phastos was in high spirits. "Everyone, the operation was very successful. Tiamut has been born and has returned to his own kind."
"Earth will no longer have to worry about one day shattering like an eggshell."
With Phastos's confirmation, both the Eternals and the Avengers on the scene felt a surge of genuine excitement.
Especially the Avengers. This was their home planet, after all.
Finally!
The ultimate problem hanging over everyone's hearts was finally solved.
"Thanos erased half the life in the universe, it was just a moment, guys."
"You have to get used to it."
Tony reached out and patted Thor on the shoulder, speaking in a very pretentious tone.
"Thor, it's over."
Captain America was also in a great mood.
Through the connection with the Infinity Stones, he confirmed that Tiamut was indeed born and had left Earth, just as Phastos had said.
This couldn't be faked.
