With Kurohane's current physical strength, he no longer needed the Infinity Gauntlet to use the power of the Infinity Stones. When the full power of the Infinity Stones was used, it would even damage the Infinity Gauntlet. The key was that what Kurohane needed to do now didn't require any other Infinity Stones.
A pair of white wings appeared on Kurohane's back. After leaving the ruins of the New York Sanctum, he flew east. He was heading for a small country in Eastern Europe, Sokovia!
According to the original timeline, S.H.I.E.L.D. and H.Y.D.R.A. had been destroyed simultaneously, and the Avengers had become a private organization. Tony Stark, as the biggest angel investor, funded this civilian organization. And he had created intelligent robots that could cooperate with the Avengers in battle, leading other Avengers members to surround and suppress the remnants of H.Y.D.R.A.
However, due to Kurohane's involvement, Alexander Pierce, the head of H.Y.D.R.A., and a large number of H.Y.D.R.A. members "surrendered" one by one, confessing to a majority of H.Y.D.R.A.'s undercover member list within S.H.I.E.L.D. This instantly stunned H.Y.D.R.A., and before they could even react, a large portion of their organization was destroyed. The remaining organizations quickly transformed from an underground organization to a sewer-level organization, hiding even deeper!
S.H.I.E.L.D. was also severely affected at the same time. During the time Kurohane was away from Earth, Nick Fury led Phil Coulson to form a more covert S.H.I.E.L.D., which was the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series storyline that Kurohane had seen in his previous life. But this time, the identity of H.Y.D.R.A. agent Ward was exposed, and he was instantly shot dead by Melinda May. And they found the trail of Baron Strucker of H.Y.D.R.A., and informed Agent Hill, who was working at Stark Group. The news got around and eventually reached Tony and Steve Rogers's ears. When Kurohane was contacted by Tony, they were just about to depart from the United States! So everyone agreed to meet in Sokovia and fight H.Y.D.R.A. together!
Okay, actually, Kurohane didn't know the exact location, so he could only wait for Tony and the others to lead the way. Sokovia only existed in the Marvel world. Kurohane only knew it was in Eastern Europe, next to Czechoslovakia. But sorry, Kurohane didn't even know where Czechoslovakia was! Without a positioning tool, how could he pinpoint the location of a small country using a world map? He couldn't pinpoint it at all!
So Kurohane just flew slowly in the sky the whole way, enjoying the scenery he had never seen in his previous life. After all, with magic to remove his presence, he wasn't afraid of being discovered by others. It was only after becoming a dual Dimension King that Kurohane could enjoy the leisure to savor the beautiful life he had transmigrated into!
After flying across most of Europe, Kurohane sensed Tony's Mental Energy. He quickly opened a portal and appeared on the fighter jet.
"Hey! Tony, long time no see, did you miss me?"
He warmly greeted Tony, who was pouring wine. Kurohane was surprised to find that besides some old acquaintances, there were also two new faces! Tony held his wine glass and gave Kurohane a hug, then handed the wine glass in his hand to Kurohane.
"Dude, you're still so good at scaring people! Was Thor's hometown fun? Did you bring me any local specialties?"
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, no local specialties this time!" Even after being away for so long, Kurohane still didn't feel any distance from Tony. Perhaps because he knew his parents were still alive, this version of Tony didn't have such a deep bitterness.
"It's great that you're back. Remember to share your story with us at the party tonight. Oh, right, let me introduce you to our new members! Scott Lang, codename Ant-Man!"
Tony pointed to a middle-aged man wearing a motorcycle racing suit. There was visible nervousness on his face. Hearing Tony introduce him, he quickly stood up from his seat and vigorously shook Kurohane's hand: "Mister Angel! Nice to meet you, I'm a fan! Oh~ I met an Angel!"
Like a fan meeting their idol, Scott felt like he couldn't even speak. He just kept shaking Kurohane's hand. Kurohane smiled, and a wave of Holy Energy was poured into Scott's body, helping him calm down.
It seemed that after he had guided the future Tony and helped the Dr. Hank Pym of his universe save his wife, his hatred for the Avengers and the Stark name had diminished. Coupled with the fact that Kurohane was also a member of the Avengers, that's why he found Scott and made him the new Ant-Man, letting him join the Avengers as a superhero. Of course, Dr. Hank's daughter also wanted to become the second-generation Wasp, but unfortunately, she was stopped. Kurohane unconsciously looked through Scott's memories in his mind. Even if he didn't say anything, Kurohane knew the whole story.
"Relax, Scott, in the future you and I are good friends."
"Okay, Mister Angel!" Scott thought Kurohane meant that he would become Kurohane's good friend in the future. He became excited again after finally calming down.
Tony, who couldn't take it anymore, pulled Scott away, revealing a black man behind him. "Let me introduce you to our other new member, Sam Wilson, codename Falcon."
"Nice to meet you, Mister Kurohane." Falcon stood up from beside Bucky and extended his calloused hand to Kurohane. Kurohane looked at Bucky next to Sam and wanted to laugh. The combination of Yang Guo and the Condor still appeared. Was this the inevitability of history?
"Veteran, I'm also very happy to meet you."
"You know I'm a soldier?" Sam was a little surprised. He was just an unknown new hero, why did Kurohane know his name?
Kurohane looked at Captain America, who was just as surprised beside him, and said with a smile, "You have something similar to Steve."
"Is it a soldier's demeanor?"
"No, it's that sense of justice that Tony doesn't have."
As soon as Kurohane spoke, everyone in the cabin laughed. Only Tony looked at Kurohane with a helpless expression.
"Asgard is really a wonderful place. I didn't expect you to learn what humor is after going there, Kurohane."
In short, no one felt any tension about the upcoming battle, especially after Kurohane appeared. Even Banner, who was ready to act, had put on his clothes and had no intention of transforming at all! Nonsense, with a powerhouse who could catch a nuclear bomb with his bare hands, how difficult could it be to deal with a bunch of remnant H.Y.D.R.A. members?!
"Guys, we're almost there!"
Hawkeye, who was in the driver's seat, looked back at the cabin. Natasha in the co-pilot's seat even winked at Kurohane. However, Kurohane acted as if he didn't see it. He was no longer his old self. This kind of thing couldn't disturb his inner peace at all!
"Next is the newcomers' first mission, do your best!"
Steve clapped his hands forcefully, attracting everyone's attention, and said confidently, "Avengers assemble!"
Kurohane blinked, then shook his head.
"If I hadn't seen the Human Torch with his crotch stuck, I would definitely have given you a thumbs-up!"
