Chapter 22: The Threat of the Mind Stone
"The Infinity Stone is really powerful, but I also have one. It may be difficult to knock down you from the reality gem, but it is still possible to tell you not to stop me. Since this is the case, do you still think it can stop me from getting your so-called master?"
Charles understood Thor's words. Although his time pause was very powerful, Thor and Patton, who had the power of the mind gem, could not be bound by Charles' time. Charles did not use the time gem to pause time. His time pause was just a copycat than the time gem, and it was much easier to break free. However, Charles didn't think these two guys could stop his steps. Even if it was a battle, Charles could get the soul gem while fighting.
"We cannot, and even now, we cannot fight with you. If you dragged into mirror magic, we cannot even threaten you. However, your mirror magic requires time to release and distance to release. As long as we don't fight with you, you cannot limit us. Charles, you care about this world, but we don't care. If you get closer to your master, we will leave here immediately and never meet you. You cannot continue to protect this world in this situation, nor can you protect those people you care about."
Patton said again that his threat was so straightforward that if Charles dared not stop, they would go to the world to do evil, and even attack those Charles cared about. Charles believed that they could do it.
After Patton threatened Charles, he and Thor took two steps back. It seemed that as long as Charles dared to move again, they would fly away from here, and Charles would never be able to find them again. In the days after that, Charles could only deal with the crazy revenge from the soul gem.
Charles squinted his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Since that's the case, how can I believe that your master will not control everyone on earth after I lift the time pause, and then destroy this world. Only you two can destroy the world much slower than your master's speed of destroying the world after lifting the restrictions, and it is much easier to deal with you two than to deal with an Infinity Stone."
"We don't know, but my master does not want to destroy this world. He just wants some friends and then enjoy life quietly in this place. Charles, my master and you are not enemies, and your hostility is completely unnecessary..." Thor began to persuade Charles to give up the hostility of the mind gem and try to reconcile both sides.
"Wow, I don't think that a stone that controls me that threatens me will be my friend, and the relationship between friends should not be established by deception. Your answer cannot stop me." Charles interrupted Thor. Their threat did threaten Charles, but it is impossible to use this threat to make Charles give up his hostility to the mind gem. Charles would rather let Ancient Yi reset the time again than want the people around him to face the fear of being controlled at any time.
"It seems that you can't change your mind, but the master has not let us start a full-scale war with you here. That's what the master can do. We just need to let the master leave. So that's fine. If you remove this time magic and let the master leave, we will take the initiative to enter your mirror magic and give you a chance to remove the threat. How about this transaction?" Patton said.
The soul gem burst out with huge energy to control Thor and the others, so that the soul gem could leave here safely. Thor and the others only care about this matter, and they would not care about other things, including their lives.
Charles looked at the two people in front of him with a decisive expression. If he did not agree to leave the Soul Gem, they could do anything. Since Soul Gem still plans to continue living on earth with the Avengers, the final battle was indeed his and Vision. It was really a battle that Ma Rod fought against both sides of the wolf.
"Trade." Charles finally agreed to Patton's suggestion, and this time Charles could not stop the Mind Gem from leaving.
Charles then lifted the time pause. Ultron immediately flew away with the cradle of life after Charles lifted the time pause. Thor and Patton did not violate their promises and waited in place for Charles to release the mirror magic, without any sign of leaving.
Charles did not release the mirror magic immediately, but contacted Captain America Rogers who was waiting for battle on the ground. The content of the transaction was that he could not pursue the soul gem, but there was no restriction on Rogers and Natasha. The firm beliefs of these two people might not be controlled by the soul gem, and then grab the soul gem that had not yet become a vision, but this possibility was very small.
"Captain, I'm entangled now, and I'll leave the rest to you. Be careful not to control the mind gem by the mind gem." Charles warned Captain America by urging the communicator to let them pay attention. If the remaining Avengers are also controlled together, time backtracking will inevitably be inevitable.
"Is there something wrong? Charles?" Captain America's voice revealed anger. Dr. Hailen Zhao was still dead. The sacrifice of his companion made Rogers really want to do something, but Charles said that he was actually entangled. The power of Ultron robot is so great. Can Charles and the other two be stopped?
"Thor and Patton are controlled by the Spirit Gem. I need to solve their problems before I can move forward. Ultron's problem is no longer the key. The Spirit Gem has begun to act. However, the power of the Spirit Gem now controls Thor and Patton, and it should not be enough to control you and Natasha anymore. Others do not have the firm belief of you two, and may not be able to deal with the Spirit Gem. You two rely on you two.
In addition, if possible, the Maximov brothers and sisters can also deal with the mind gem. Their power comes from the mind gem and can be immune to control to a certain extent. The mind gem is now very weak and it cannot control the Maximov brothers and sisters. Find them and convince them to help you."
Charles was very helpless in the face of Rogers's problem. He did not think about how to stop the soul gem with only Rogers and Natasha, two powerful but weak people. They just tried to kill themselves. However, Charles still thought of Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver. Charles has not seen Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver now, and he cannot know whether they have jumped backwards, but it is still worth trying.
"I understand, leave the rest to us, we will do it, Charles, you can bring Patton and Thor back intact, right?" Natasha asked Charles after hearing Charles' words.
"I will, they are my friends, I will take them back well, and I will disconnect from it. I will transform them back in mirror magic, and leave the matter of the mind gem to you."
After Charles said the last sentence, he disconnected from communication. Then, looking at Thor and Patton who had entered a state of combat in front of him, calmly turned on the mirror magic. Thor and Patton looked at Ultron, who had no trace in the distance, and walked into Charles' magic together.
