After bidding farewell to Future Tony and promising to pick him up in a few days, Richard also went alone to the Planet Ka'er in this World.
It was a place of beautiful mountains and clear Water, without industrial pollution, and full of life.
"Pamela must like this place."
"I like it too."
Richard walked through a field, picked a spiky fruit, broke it open, and tasted a bite.
"So sour!"
The taste was a bit like passion fruit.
"Then why are you still eating it?"
"It's something a friend planted, so I'll give it a try."
After finishing the fruit in his hand, Richard arrived in front of a dilapidated wooden house.
Next to it was a grave, with only a broken golden armor in front of it.
Nebula must have built it.
Richard took out Thanos's body, positioned him sitting on a wooden chair, facing the rising Sun.
Richard sat down on another wooden chair.
"Thanos, you're quite good at picking spots. You've taken the best location on the entire Planet."
"To be honest, I also think you're a madman. Killing half of all life can indeed temporarily alleviate the Universe's resources, but it won't last because they can reproduce, and in a few years, it'll be back to how it was."
"You might as well have used the Infinity Stones to become the Universe's overlord; ruling the entire Universe would have been much more convenient."
"Now look, you got yourself killed by me!"
"Is it really that much of a grievance to follow me? You'd eat well and live well. All my employees have Zero complaints about me. Of course, those who dared to complain were also dealt with by me."
Richard talked to himself.
From his complaints about Thanos to his plans for the future, Richard said it all.
Venom listened without a word.
"Forget it, you can't hear anything I'm saying anyway. I'm leaving. I'm a busy man, and it's not time for me to retire yet."
Richard stood up, just about to leave, but then stopped.
He thought for a moment and took out the Time Stone.
"Damn it, consider me meddling."
A huge green magic circle enveloped the entire Planet, then disappeared.
This magic circle would not interfere with the Planet's operation, but no outsider would be able to enter this Planet.
Richard took one last look at Thanos, then turned and walked into the portal.
Thanos faced the pastoral scene, and a faint smile seemed to appear on his face.

Five days later.
A group of people gathered in a small wooden house, all there to bid farewell to Stark.
"After I leave, just announce that Iron Man died in an accident."
Stark said to the group of old friends in front of him.
"Understood, Mr. Stark, I'll miss you."
Holland Spider was still a bit reluctant.
"Don't worry, I'll come back when I have time. Also, to prevent you from bankrupting Stark Industries, I've set up a few safeguards."
"May I ask what they are?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
Stark smiled mysteriously and looked at the silent Future Captain America.
"I'm leaving, Old Icicle."
"Goodbye, Tony."
"I learned a lesson from my other self: the World won't be destroyed if one person is missing. Try to live the life you want. When you've thought it through, go find Banner. I've also left something for you."
"I'll consider it."
Stark then looked at Green Dr..
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
"No, Tony, I have things I cherish here, and I want to see if I can achieve the same results as my other self."
Banner had already returned to his youthful state and, with everyone's help, had adopted a new identity to continue his life.
He also received a laboratory funded by Stark and was filled with fighting spirit.
Stark did not try to persuade him, instead taking out a phone and handing it to Thor.
"What's this?"
"A gift for you. Everyone has one."
Thor curiously tried to open it, but Stark stopped him.
"This kind of surprise, open it after I leave."
"Okay."
Suddenly, a portal appeared.
Richard, with his hair grown back, walked out.
"Are you ready? It's time to go."
"Richard, I'll trouble you with those. Those are the luggage I need to take with me."
Richard looked in the direction of his finger: three containers.
"Only this much?"
"Yes, my most precious things are all here."
Tony picked up his daughter and Pepper, who was beside him.
"Hehe, I love you three thousand."
Morgan hugged Stark's neck tightly, rubbing against him affectionately.
After Richard put away the items, he took out the Infinity Gauntlet and snapped his fingers.
"OK, all the Skrulls in the Universe have disappeared. Let's go!"
"Reliable."
Tony gave a thumbs-up, then took the two women and walked into the portal.
The others watched them disappear, then curiously gathered around Thor.
"Quick, open it and see what the gift is."
"It might be a game Tony made."
"That's a very fitting gift for Thor."
Thor opened the phone, and a video immediately popped up.
"Stop it, I am the King of Gods, Odin's son, Thunder God Thor! You will be punished by the gods for doing this."
… …
"Odin's son? I'm a Level 3 Researcher under the Demon King!"
… …
"No, please, leave some for me."
… …
Finally, the Thor in the video became bald and cried.
— — —
Crack, crack, crack.
Thor, surrounded by lightning, stared expressionlessly at the fragments in his hand.
The scene was silent.
"I suddenly remembered that I have a date today. I'm leaving first." Natasha naturally picked up her bag and quickly walked out the door.
"I also just remembered I have a date."
Barton followed closely, quickly leaving.
"Banner, let's go see the gift Tony left for me."
"Okay, Captain, you'll never guess what it is."
Green Dr. and Future Captain America left.
Only the panicked Holland Spider remained, his mind racing to find an excuse.
"Uh, I mean, that's the Thor from another World. Your hair isn't like that…"
Before he could finish speaking, Holland Spider's spider-sense blared wildly.
He bolted out of the wooden house with a start.
"Tony Stark!"
Boom —
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, shattering the wooden house.
Thor, with a dark expression, flew into the air.
"Mr. Stark will kill me when he comes back!"
Holland Spider jumped down from the tree, looking at the ruins with a mournful face.
"I don't think so."
"He must have anticipated this situation."
"Is Thor reacting so strongly because he had a similar experience?"
"Hard to say, but his hair did get shorter for a period five years ago."
"Too bad there's no backup. Thor actually cried because of this."
The few people who had left earlier reappeared.
