Variables Brought by Nebula

Tony Stark looked up and down at Nebula. With his keen eyes, he naturally saw through the structure of Nebula's body almost instantly. It was as good as a machine.

He could also guess that this transformation was intentional, but before this, Tony Stark speculated that this kind of modification was Nebula's own will, to gain powerful strength. After all, a fleshy body could not compare to machine parts that could be changed at will. The so-called flesh is weak, but mechanical ascension is strong.

Now he knew that there was such a story behind Nebula becoming a machine-modified person.

Tony Stark asked in astonishment, "I'm curious, both you and Gamora are Thanos' daughters, but it seems like he favours Gamora more?"

Even from getting the Soul Stone from Thanos, it was clear that this ruthless madman had genuine feelings for his adopted daughter Gamora, seeing her as his 'favourite.'

Looking at Nebula, who was also his adopted daughter, she had been turned into such a bizarre thing by Thanos.

Nebula glanced at him and said coldly, "That's because Gamora always wins. My father... he only recognizes strong victors!"

Thor shook his head, "You've been brainwashed by that man."

In the video, Thanos became aware of the existence of another Nebula and planned to obtain more information through the inexplicable connection between these two Nebulas.

At the same time, the memory files of these two Nebulas at the same time point had a certain overlap, which was an accident. Even the Nebula from the future didn't understand this, or she would have warned the Avengers.

But now everything was developing towards the worst outcome. Thanos ordered his subordinates to retrieve Nebula's memory recordings, and he saw the scene of the Avengers gathering to discuss how to travel through time and find the Infinity Stones.

Gamora was also watching from the side and exclaimed, "Earthlings?"

Thanos said, "The Avengers, a group of nobodies!"

"Huh?" Tony Stark sneered, "If we're nobodies, how did our names reach Thanos' ears? This guy's quite proud."

Thor frowned, "This is not good news; Thanos will know about all of this!"

In the video, Thanos naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity to explore the future. He saw his future through Nebula's memory fragments.

He learned that in nine years, he would gather the six Infinity Stones and complete his mission. He also understood the Avengers' plan - to travel through time to find the Infinity Stones scattered throughout history, attempting to change the destiny he had forged with his own hands!

Thanos also saw that in the future, his head was chopped off, but his expression remained calm, unchanged.

A madman like him had long disregarded matters of life and death. He only cared about his mission and purpose, which were above all else!

As long as he accomplished this great mission, whether he lived or died was irrelevant.

Ebony Maw reminded, "Master... your daughter is a traitor!"

He waved his hand, and sharp iron chains bound Nebula's neck. Nebula kept pleading, "No, I will never betray you!"

Thanos approached her and snapped the chains, saying, "I know, it's time for you to prove yourself."

Seeing this, Thor sneered, "This madman didn't kill you on the spot? Is it his kindness or tolerance?"

Nebula said calmly, "He's very confident that I will be completely under his control."

The scene in the video was quite familiar to her, as her betrayal had been exposed in a previous quiz game. At that time, Thanos' subordinates had suggested eliminating her.

However, Thanos didn't do that; he gave her a chance at redemption and tasked her with capturing the escaped Gamora.

This wasn't driven by any 'fatherly love.' It was simply Thanos' confidence that Nebula wouldn't escape his control, and it had proven to be true, at least until now.

But now, Nebula had inexplicably been chosen as a player in this bizarre game.

The video then shifted to Morag.

Peter Quill was wearing headphones, walking and dancing, even using an alien 'rat' as a microphone to sing a few lines.

Natasha laughed, "Even though I've seen this before, I still find it amusing. This guy has a talent for singing and dancing."

Scott Lang hadn't seen the previous video of Star-Lord participating in the quiz game. This was his first time watching, and he was immediately captivated by Star-Lord's silly dance.

He laughed so hard that his throat hurt, "Hahaha, is this guy a genius? No, no matter how you look at it, he's a fool!"

Steve Rogers smiled and shook his head, "No, haven't you seen his previous videos? Quill saved the world with a silly dance!"

Star-Lord's famous scene was brought out again, and the comical and joyful atmosphere diluted the seriousness and pressure brought by Thanos.

A bunch of people were watching outside the video, and inside the video, there were also viewers enjoying Star-Lord's singing and dancing performance.

Time-traveling Nebula and Colonel Rhodes had no idea about the threat posed by Thanos. They had hidden according to the original plan and finally encountered Peter Quill. Then they witnessed this scene.

When the camera cuts from the goofy Peter Quill to them, both the cheerful singing and the background music disappear, making Peter Quill appear even more foolish.

Colonel Rhodes had a dumbfounded expression, "Is this guy a fool?"

Nebula nodded, "Yes."

When Star-Lord used a shovel to conclude this 'performance,' Colonel Rhodes suddenly punched him, knocking him unconscious.

This made the audience, who were already laughing, burst into even louder laughter...

Following that, Nebula searched Peter Quill and found thief tools on him, which she used to open the ancient door and find the Cosmic Orb, which was the Power Stone.

This object was surrounded by intense laser beams, and Nebula reached out to take it. During this process, her mechanical arm turned bright red from the laser's heat.

Just imagine, if it were a fleshy body, it would probably have been roasted by now.

After successfully obtaining the Power Stone, they planned to travel back, but a problem occurred. Colonel Rhodes left with the Power Stone smoothly. However, Nebula fell to the ground in pain, and the video ended here.

"What happened to her? Why couldn't she return at the end?" Thor asked.

Tony Stark said solemnly, "The consciousness and memories of the two Nebulas merged at the same time point. When Thanos forcibly searched for the other Nebula's memory files, it affected her too."

Thor glanced at the expressionless Nebula and asked, "This shouldn't cause any harm, right? After all, we successfully got the Power Stone."

Tony Stark shook his head with a serious expression, "It's hard to say, and based on the information revealed earlier, the Time Traveler team may not be able to gather all six Infinity Stones."
