Time flew, and it was June 2018 in the blink of an eye.
In the past six months, criminals all over the world had suddenly felt that their lives were much better.
In the past, news of their peers mysteriously disappearing or dying had basically disappeared.
Without their peers, business naturally improved, and their income soared.
For a time, many sharp-witted criminal bigwigs who had disappeared stealthily returned to their old jobs. The feedback was very good.
The underground world was in turmoil again, and they began to enjoy their blue ocean era.
However, those who understood the real situation knew why this was the case.
It was because the Righteous Alliance and SHIELD had suddenly reduced their operations by more than 90%, which was why the underground world had been reborn.
Their information was indeed correct.
In the past six months, Luke and his clone had been busy and rarely went out to farm points.
In exchange, he had found ordinary minerals on a desert planet, and the special materials he had purchased from a chaotic planet were enough to meet the production of small fighter jets.
The manufacturing plant over there was producing a steady stream of small fighter jets.
The operator was a tool, and they were cannon fodder, so the vibranium was useless.
With Luke's current technology, it was enough for the fighter jets to deal damage to the small units of the Tyrant Destroyer Army.
The production of large and medium-sized warships was still slow.
In just a few years, more than 130 warships had gone from the earliest trash trial products to the current qualified ones, which was a considerable number.
No matter how trashy the trial products were, they could still be used as floating turrets on the battlefield, which could both output firepower and attract firepower.
Thus, these warships had pretty good defensive capabilities.
The large third-generation arc reactors weren't expensive, and the inside of the warships was big enough. A few more could be placed to provide energy and protect the ship.
Ivan liked this set of armor, and Luke had absorbed this advantage. He could even make use of trash.
At the same time, the warship's command system was modified.
With the help of mental remote control and strong artificial intelligence, the entire ship was basically unmanned.
The people in charge of mental remote control were the old members of the Righteous Alliance and the young members of Ursa Minor.
For a small team commander like Frank, if he were to wear armor, he would definitely not be able to do as much damage as piloting a large warship.
It was the same for those who didn't have superpowers, or those who didn't have enough superpowers to be of great use in this kind of battle. They all switched to operating warships.
Of course, this method of operating warships couldn't be used in an official space war.
However, Luke was only facing a defense station at his doorstep. It didn't matter if all the warships and fighter jets were destroyed.
Actual combat was the best test.
After going through the actual combat test, he would definitely be able to find a lot of problems with these battleships that had been rushed to produce. It was imperative that he replace them.
He had his own personal planet, and this consumption could be replenished in a year or two at most.
With money and resources, one could do whatever they wanted.
In fact, Luke was certain that Tyrant Slayer would directly land on the ground to snatch the gem.
If the Hegemon-Destroyer Fleet really dared to directly fire at Earth, there was no way Luke would foolishly stay on Earth and get wiped out, giving the spatial gem to Director Annihilation.
He would not hesitate to send his friends and family away, and then fight a protracted battle with Thanos.
With the Space Gem and his doppelganger, he would always be able to find a chance to kill Slayer Tyrant.
Of course, this was only the worst possibility.
If possible, he wanted to finish it all in one go.
With an enemy like Thanos keeping an eye on Earth, there would be no way to live.
…
On the 25th of June, the Level Two clone, Big Dipper, received news from the "branch" on Xandar: The Hegemon-Destroyer Fleet launched a surprise attack on Xandar, defeated the New Star Legion that was guarding this place, and went straight into the New Star Empire's treasury before calmly retreating.
The people at the branch didn't find out what Thanos did after entering the treasury. They only knew that the New Star Legion had suffered heavy losses, with a conservative estimate of more than thirty percent.
Luke took a deep breath. He knew that Thanos had begun to move.
Quill and Rocket had said that they had given the Universal Spirit Ball to the upper echelons of the New Star Empire on Xandar for safekeeping. Coupled with the credit of killing Luo Nan, they had a proper status in the New Star Empire.
Having been to 2023, Luke knew better that the so-called Universal Spirit Ball was a container that isolated the power gem's energy from leaking out.
Thanos had gone to Xandar to snatch the power gem.
Looking at the miserable state of the New Star Legion, Thanos had definitely succeeded.
Otherwise, according to convention, he would have "planned out" half of Xandar's population before leaving.
The remaining Reality Gem had been stolen by Loki, the Mind Gem was on Thor, and the Soul Gem was said to be on Womere.
On Earth, Luke had the Space Gem, and Strange had the Time Gem.
The Big Dipper clone on the chaotic planet frowned. "Don't tell me Thanos followed Thor and the others here?"
This wasn't the home ground that Luke had chosen, and the reinforcements he could get would be much smaller.
But it was unknown whether or not Thanos would chase them here. Luke didn't have the time to get everyone here.
According to the schedule, it would take Thor and the others more than ten days for their large spaceship to reach the chaotic planet.
He could only wait for them to arrive before sending them to Earth.
Since Thanos had started to move, his trip to Earth would arrive sooner or later.
It actually didn't matter if Thor and the Loki brothers attracted his attention.
Two days later, on the afternoon of June 27th, it was sunny in New York.
Luke was busy in the living room when he suddenly frowned and turned to look at the sky outside the window.
There, a rainbow pillar of light was descending from the sky and landing … Hm, near the Temple in New York?
This appearance, this energy fluctuation, why did it look like the Rainbow Bridge teleportation? But Asgard was gone. Puzzled, he raised his hand and pulled up the surveillance footage of the pillar of light. After a few glances, he confirmed that it was indeed the pillar of light from the Rainbow Bridge teleportation.
Because it had fallen directly into the Temple in New York, traces of the small building could be vaguely seen.
Apart from the Rainbow Bridge teleportation, Luke didn't know what else with the same appearance and fluctuations could fall into the Temple in New York.
Thinking about the source of the rainbow pillar of light that had disappeared from the Rainbow Bridge, Luke's Knight clone had already set off for the Temple in New York.
A few minutes later, Luke knocked on the door.
Before he could hit the door a second time, his vision blurred, and he was standing in the lobby of the Temple in New York.
He only had time to nod at Strange and call out, "Dr. Strange," before a man quickly stepped forward and reached out to hug him.
Looking at the aggrieved expression on the man's honest face, Luke helplessly hugged him back, then asked Strange with his eyes, "What's going on?"
Strange's expression was solemn, as if he was attending a memorial service. "It's very serious. I'll bring Tony Stark over first, and we'll discuss it together."
Luke nodded and watched Strange circle the door and walk over. He then patted Dr. Banner, who hadn't let go of him yet. "Alright, Dr. Banner. I believe we can solve everything. "
Dr. Banner let go, and his aggrieved expression finally improved a lot.
