Chapter 246. Unexpected

The name Lord Godless.

For most members of The Avengers, it was memorable.

Especially for Steve and the others.

"Why? Have you guys heard of the guy?"

Noticing the stunned expression on everyone, the [Drunken Sword Immortal] asked, pretending not to know.

"Actually, we've fought with him before."

Tony had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. He said it was a fight, but in fact, they could be said to have been overwhelmed by Lord Godless on all fronts during the whole fight, and at one point, Tony and the others felt a deep sense of despair at their opponent's formidable defenses. Had Peng Lai's Ah Xing not appeared at the end, it would have been questionable whether the Avengers team would have been able to assemble.

"If I understood you correctly, you just mentioned that someone among Peng Lai had betrayed you?"

In contrast to the dismay of Tony and the others, Fury was more concerned with the betrayal mentioned by the [Drunken Sword Immortal].

"If someone hadn't been under a spell, how could the item to seal the Heavenly Demons have been stolen so easily." Picking up the wine gourd in his hand and taking a large gulp of wine, the [Drunken Sword Immortal] shook the gourd and lamented, "As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thousand thieves. We've always been on guard against the threat of Jiu You from the outside world, but we've overlooked the fact that the inner part of Peng Lai isn't as invulnerable as we thought ..."

"This is something I feel strongly about." Thor spoke with an empathetic expression, "Before Loki took advantage of Allfather's deep sleep, the palace fell into vulnerability, creating a series of problems and even nearly killing me."

"Now, he continues to create problems."

Banner spoke, reminding Thor that Loki not only caused trouble in Asgard but also threatened Earth.

"I never really got along with him."

"I'm still a little confused. Doesn't Peng Lai have any protection? I mean, if that... thing... is some sort of seal for that demonic ... being, that's important. How could you guys let someone steal it?" Tony frowned and raised his doubts.

"Who knows?" The [Drunken Sword Immortal] replied with a half-drunk, half-awake expression, "At that time, I was having a good time drinking. Who would have thought that Ip Man brat would have malicious intentions? He stole the item that sealed the Heavenly Demon behind my back, causing me to waste my precious drinking time to come out here to track the thing. "

The [Drunken Sword Immortal]'s answer was a way to tell the Avengers that the reason the item was stolen was entirely due to the negligence of the immortal in front of them.

However, what shocked Tony and the others even more, was the identity of the man who had been under the spell of Lord Godless, betrayed Peng Lai, and stolen the item to seal the Heavenly Demon. It was the Ip Man they had all met before. The mild-mannered man could actually do such a thing?!

"How is that possible? Why would Master Ip do that?!"

[Reputation points from Natasha Romanoff +800]

[Reputation points from Nick Fury +520]

[Reputation points from Tony Stark +700]

Without having to go through the main body in the antique shop, the [Drunken Sword Immortal] knew that his string of statements would surely shock Tony and the others in the airship, especially Natasha, who had the most contact with Ip Man.

"Even if you don't understand it, how could I? "

Continuing to drink from his gourd, the [Drunken Sword Immortal] shrugged, "So, instead of worrying about these things, it would be simpler to wait until I find the brat and ask him in person."

"Can you tell us what kind of thing that seal is? And what kind of demonic being is the Heavenly Demon?"

After a moment to digest the message that the [Drunken Sword Immortal] had revealed, Fury continued to pursue the matter.

In the face of this question, the drunken expression on the [Drunken Sword Immortal]'s face sobered up for a moment, and he looked at Nick Fury's sharp eye in front of him, "Believe me, you definitely don't want to know what the Heavenly Demon looks like, and as for the item that seals it, this is not a big problem at the moment."

...

"The gamma reading on Loki's scepter is definitely consistent with the salved reports of the Tesseract. We can look for the same traces from the Tesseract with this ..."

On S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier, Banner was pursuing Tesseract's position through Loki's scepter.

The unexpected arrival of the [Drunken Sword Immortal] had brought information that was difficult for the Avengers to digest for a while, but it wasn't a good time to discuss that Heavenly Demon thing.

Loki and the Chitauri army were the urgent problems they needed to solve.

If Loki used the Tesseract to open the portal for the Chitauri army to invade Earth, the result would be a major disaster for the entire Earth.

"We've met before, right? Right around the time you got into a fight with a big guy about the same size as you."

Inside the lab, Tony spoke to Banner as he used the instruments to locate the Tesseract.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember much of those moments."

Banner shook his head. Whenever he transformed into the Hulk, he would fall into a deep sleep and lose his memories of what happened to the Hulk.

"That's a shame you missed a big show," Tony said with a shrug and an expression of pity, "At the time, Master Roshi stepped in and sent a wave of energy straight from his hand to blast that big guy, who was almost as big as you, into dust."

"Really?!"

Although Banner didn't remember what happened after his transformation, Banner vaguely remembered the look on Abomination's face when he fought before he transformed into Hulk. That terrifying strength and defensive ability had somehow exceeded even that of the Hulk's and, of course, the ferocity.

"Unfortunately, my armor was damaged too severely at that time. Otherwise, I would have recorded what Master Roshi looked like when he did that." Even after all this time, Tony was still impressed by the move called [Kamehameha] that Master Roshi performed at that time.

"Speaking of which, how do you keep yourself from becoming that big and ... green? What's the secret? Music? Meditation? ... Medication?"

"I try to keep my emotions in check and avoid rage." While busy typing into the computer, Banner replied, "This a valuable lesson I learned during my long years of ... laying low."

"Rage?"

Listening to Banner's words, a look of inquisitiveness flashed in Tony's eyes, followed by a poke at Banner's body with the electric probe in his hand.

"What about now? Rage? Anger? ... Nothing?"
