There was naturally no question about this matter.
From the moment the Future Avengers decided to
cooperate
with the past Avengers, it meant they had already agreed to return the Tesseract.
This was the premise of everything, so it went without saying.
"Scott, I'll leave it to you then."
Future Captain America nodded to Future Ant-Man, who was standing to the side.
Future Ant-Man said nothing unnecessary and immediately turned and left for a short while.
When he reappeared, he was holding a box.
And he handed it to Captain America.
Captain America opened the box in front of everyone, and a cube shimmering with blue light immediately appeared before them; it was none other than the Tesseract.
Phew!
Captain America couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
"So, can we start now?"
"Two Captains, two Tonys, two Banners working together, I have to say, I'm already a bit impatient."
"The only regret is not having two of me, otherwise I could really brag to Cassie."
Future Ant-Man clapped his hands excitedly, as if beside himself with joy.
His gaze swept back and forth over the two groups of Avengers, never stopping.
"Gentlemen, you are guests from afar."
Nick Fury spoke up at this moment, "I don't know what my relationship with you is like in your timeline, but I, personally, am very willing to provide you with necessary assistance."
After a pause, Nick Fury added, "Of course, the premise is not touching our Tesseract and staff."
As one of the diary holders, Nick Fury also knew how important the Infinity Stones were, and his stance that they absolutely could not be taken was unwavering.
Even if it was the Future Avengers.
"That's the problem, but the only things we need are the Tesseract and the staff."
Future Banner spoke, cutting straight to the point.
"Hey, big guy, that's why we're here, isn't it?"
"It's to solve this problem."
"That's right, the problem is a bit tricky, but our lineup is also quite luxurious, isn't it?"
"I believe there's nothing that can't be solved."
Tony stepped forward and spoke eloquently, as confident as ever.
"So, other me, do you have any good suggestions?"
Future Tony also spoke.
However, he looked much more mature and composed now than the other Tony.
It was visibly clear that he was not as arrogant and overconfident.
"Not yet, or rather, there's only a rough idea right now, but it can't be confirmed."
"Because there's a crucial question I need to confirm first."
It had to be said that Tony was reliable enough; he actually had an idea for such a tricky problem.
Seeing Tony's confident demeanor, the Future Avengers suddenly gained a few more points of confidence and assurance in their hearts.
"What problem?"
Future Captain America asked even more impatiently.
"What was your New York Battle like?"
Meeting the gazes of the Future Avengers, Tony asked this question with a serious expression.
???
What did Tony mean by this?
Future Captain America and Future Ant-Man exchanged glances, both a little unsure of Tony's meaning.
Hadn't the other party already known about their affairs?
Why would he specifically ask about this again?
However, seeing Tony's solemn expression, Future Captain America still briefly explained the process of the New York Battle to Tony.
"Loki traveled from Asgard using the Tesseract, then stole the Tesseract, opened a portal, and transported the Chitauri over."
"Nick Fury assembled the Avengers, and we worked together, fighting side by side."
"Although it was very difficult, we ultimately closed the portal and defeated the Chitauri."
For non-diary holders like Captain America and Dr. Banner, they expressed sufficient surprise and astonishment at this.
So Loki would turn out to be such a big problem?
The fact that he stole the Tesseract was just the beginning; his real goal was to occupy Earth?
Shocked.
The non-diary holders were truly shocked.
As for Tony, Nick Fury, and the other diary holders, their hearts stirred.
Isn't this the future described in the diary?
The events experienced by these Avengers from the future were exactly the same as described in the diary!
Wait a minute!
And very quickly, Nick Fury immediately noticed something was wrong.
Why would this happen?
Why would the future experienced by the Future Avengers still be the same as the diary?
Clearly, they themselves had already made corresponding changes!
Leaving aside other things, after Loki stole the Tesseract, he didn't even have time to open the portal before he was captured by everyone.
Could it be that Loki escaped again after being captured this time?
Thinking of this, Nick Fury's expression began to turn grim.
He began to further confirm relevant details with the Future Avengers.
Ultimately, he realized he had thought wrong.
The Avengers' New York Battle was different from the New York Battle they experienced from the very beginning.
In their World, Loki had already stolen the Tesseract when he first appeared at S.H.I.E.L.D.
After that, the other him assembled the Avengers and launched a series of subsequent actions, then captured Loki in Germany.
However, Loki pretended to be captured, thoroughly tricking the Avengers.
It was also during that period that he killed Coulson, prompting the Avengers to unite and work together wholeheartedly.
Only then did they achieve victory in the New York Battle.
From the very beginning, it was different from their Universe!
This shouldn't be!
"No, it's not like that."
"Loki's operation at S.H.I.E.L.D. failed; he didn't steal the Tesseract."
"He stole the Tesseract at another Base."
Captain America also noticed this, and his brow immediately furrowed.
Why would these people from the future have problems with their memories?
Why would there be such a huge deviation from what had already happened?
"It seems your World is indeed different from ours."
"Or rather, we are not the same World."
Tony understood, realizing the truth.
Actually, Tony had always had a question in his mind.
That is, after the diary had spoiled so many situations, did they still lose the battle against Purple Sweet Potato?
Was half the population still successfully erased by Purple Sweet Potato in the Infinity War, forcing them to travel through time and space?
Then they would be too useless!
Even if they were really that useless, there was still Zhou Cheng, the unfathomable Master of the diary.
With such a great god, was it still useless?
Still couldn't change anything?
This shouldn't be!
Plus, when Tony met his future self, the other party intentionally concealed his identity!
This was even more suspicious.
After all, as a diary holder, Future Tony should have known about his future time travel long before the New York Battle, right?
So how could his past self not know his identity?
This concealment made no sense at all!
Not to mention, the diary had already clearly described the nanotech armor!
So Tony came to a natural conclusion: the Tony from the future might not have received the diary at all!
In other words.
The Future Tony was not from his World, but from another parallel World.
And at this moment, Tony's guess was confirmed.
The New York Battle of these Future Avengers was the same as described in the diary!
They were indeed not from his World, but from other Worlds!
"That's right, our Worlds are indeed different; we must have traveled to a parallel World."
Future Banner nodded, adding, and at the same time, raising a new question, "Tony, what's your point?"
"Parallel Worlds!"
Tony went straight to the point, "That's my method!"
"Since you can travel to parallel Worlds, then do it again, travel to other parallel Worlds."
"You cannot touch the Tesseract of our World; this is the only way."
"Although I feel a bit sorry for everyone in other Worlds, well, this is the only thing we can do."
Tony laid out his plan in one breath, leaving everyone stunned.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Dr. Banner forcibly interrupted everyone, interjecting, "You mean, you are not only from the future, but also from other parallel Worlds?"
"It should be correct."
Future Banner nodded.
"How did you do that, guys? Can you even do something like that in your future?"
Dr. Banner was shocked.
So Future Banner briefly explained the time travel to Dr. Banner.
They didn't initially intend to travel to a parallel Universe, only to travel back to the past.
But now it seemed that time travel could not go to one's own Universe, only to other parallel Universes.
Understood!
All the Avengers understood.
"Tony's right, since you can time travel, why not do it again?"
Black Widow agreed, endorsing Tony's suggestion.
This was indeed the simplest and most convenient method, and it would not affect their own Universe.
"You don't understand; if we could, we would have done so long ago."
"But the problem is, due to technical issues, we can only make this one trip."
Future Captain America shook his head, instinctively revealing a troubled expression.
"Is it because of Pym Particles?"
Although Tony used a rhetorical question, his tone was quite certain.
After all, the diary had already stated that the Future Avengers only had one dose of Pym Particles left.
The Future Avengers showed surprise again.
They even knew about this?
This World's Tony was too amazing, wasn't he?
"Pym Particles, what are those?"
Captain America was stunned, completely unaware of what this was.
"A special substance that I can think of, the only one that can affect time travel."
Tony didn't explain much to Captain America, merely showing off in front of him.
Captain America didn't think much of it either.
He thought it was purely because Tony's knowledge Base was too astonishing, even mastering something like time travel, and nothing more.
After all, while Captain America disliked Tony's personality, he couldn't deny his genius.
This person's talent was completely on par with Howard's, even superior to Howard's.
"Since you know about Pym Particles, you should know that no one can create them except Hank."
Future Ant-Man shook his head, expressing his concern.
"Firstly, that's too absolute; are the two of us Starks really not as good as one Hank?"
"Secondly, even if we really can't replicate Pym Particles, we can still find out where Pym Particles are, right?"
Tony already had his own ideas about this; he confidently said to the Future Avengers.
"Tony, everyone is waiting for us, we don't have that much time..."
"No, quite the opposite, you have all the time in the World; you can stay here as long as you want, because for your future, you never left; you just need to return on time."
Ah, this!
Tony's words immediately left the Future Avengers speechless.
"So, we're going to stay here and research Pym Particles now?"
Future Ant-Man was a bit confused; how did things suddenly become so fantastical?
They came to collect Stones, not to do scientific research!
"Stark, I'm not trying to discourage you, but do you think you haven't done this before? I mean, future you."
"So compared to researching Pym Particles, I'd rather investigate where Pym Particles are."
However, Future Ant-Man immediately added.
Continuing to search for more Pym Particles seemed to have potential.
His cheap father-in-law had been Ant-Man for so long; he must have some Pym Particle reserves, no matter what?
Wait a minute!
Not only Hank, but even the apprentice Hank blindly took in, Darren Cross, also had Pym Particles in his possession!
There's potential!
It seemed Tony's suggestion really had potential!
Future Ant-Man's eyes immediately lit up.
"Gentlemen, I think we can give it a try."
Future Ant-Man immediately said to his two companions.
The Future Avengers discussed it among themselves and expressed no objections, successively agreeing to Tony's proposal.
And so, both sides reached a very pleasant agreement.
This mission for the Future Avengers to seize the Infinity Stones very happily turned into a mission to obtain Pym Particles.
And this mission, frankly speaking, its difficulty could be said to have plummeted, no, it should be described as a cliff-like drop.
And as long as they obtained Pym Particles, the Future Avengers' travel times would no longer be limited.
They could then make more trips to collect the Infinity Stones.
It was simply perfect!
