Chapter 146 Bully: Ah, the taste of lies~
Seeing everyone looking at him with pity, Thor stood up from his chair, forced a smile, and nonchalantly weighed his hammer in his hand.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine now. Look, I not only have an axe, but I also have my hammer!"
"Have you finished your storytelling routine? If so, let me bring back half of the life in the universe that Thanos wiped out with his snap!"
Seeing that Thor, who was holding an axe in one hand and a hammer in the other, had already stood up, the others quickly stopped him.
Tony pressed his hand against Thor's pregnant belly, trying to calm him down: "Hey, Plath, let's calm down a bit, okay?"
"The combined energy of the six Infinity Stones would cause immense damage to the user; even Thanos was critically injured and near death by it. You are not in a position to strike this deadly snap in your current state!"
Thor, naturally unconvinced by Tony comparing him to Thanos, puffed out his chest:
"What's wrong with me right now? I feel great! What do you think flows through my veins? Have you forgotten who cut off Thanos's head?"
Rod, who was standing nearby, suddenly interjected, "Is it cheese?"
Toby, however, had a different opinion: "No, I think it should be beer!"
Hearing their teasing, Thor angrily pointed at them, wanting to retort, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't find the words to refute them.
Because this seems to be true!
Finally, with a tearful, aggrieved voice, Thor grasped Tony's arm and pleaded, "Please, let me do it! I'm a god, the strongest Avenger, just let me snap those damn fingers!"
Everyone knows that Thor is blaming himself for missing that axe strike years ago and wants to make up for his mistake.
But naturally, no one would allow Thor to risk his life.
Besides, Thor can't be blamed for missing that axe strike. After all, without Thor, they wouldn't even be able to beat Thanos!
Finally, Captain America stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Thor, we can discuss who will snap their fingers later. There's still one group that went to a universe whose situation is unknown. Why don't we hear about their experiences in that universe first?"
Upon hearing this, Thor finally calmed down a bit, and everyone's eyes turned to Rhodes and Nebula.
They were also the last duo to not recount their time-travel experience.
Nebula, who had remained indifferent throughout, standing by with her arms crossed, gestured to Rhodes, indicating that he should speak.
Rhodes cleared his throat, preparing to speak, but Toby, who hadn't said much as an outsider, raised his hand to interrupt Rhodes before he could finish speaking.
Everyone looked at Toby with confusion. Tony, the Avenger who trusted Toby the most, asked directly, "Toby, is there a problem?"
"Yes, I do have a question..." Toby nodded, slowly stood up from his chair, walked to Nebula who had her arms crossed, his cold eyes looking down at her mechanical prosthetic eye, and asked indifferently:
"Tell me, are you a nebula in this universe?"
Nebula's pupils dilated slightly for a moment, but her face and body showed no sign of abnormality. Even her tone remained unusually calm as she said, "Of course, what do you mean by that?"
Even the most top-tier psychologists would likely find nothing unusual about Nebula right now, but...
"Interesting..." Toby lowered his head closer to Nebula, his nose twitched, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "But this smells like lies!"
Pfft——————
Without anyone's complete surprise, Toby suddenly pierced Nebula's chest with one hand, his five fingers gripping her mechanical heart as he burst out from behind her!
The Avengers: !
Immediately, Rhodes, Thor, and Rocket each picked up their weapons and assumed an attack stance against Toby!
Tony, Captain America, Ant-Man, and Doctor Hulk seemed somewhat at a loss.
Faced with the Avengers' varying reactions, Toby calmly turned the Nebula bracelet on his arm toward them and said nonchalantly, "You didn't even know a werewolf had gotten into your house?"
To the Avengers' bewildered gaze, Toby flipped his other hand and produced the Mind Scepter, gently touching Nebula's forehead.
The next moment, Nebula, hanging on Toby's arm with sparks flying from her chest, turned blue and projected a holographic image into the air.
The Avengers, upon seeing the images in the video, were all filled with terror.
In the video, two figures appeared in front of Thanos, one kneeling and one standing!
Clearly, the Nebula from their universe, who went to borrow the Power Stone, was captured by Thanos from another universe!
And they quickly realized that the nebula that Toby had pierced through was not from their universe at all, but a spy sent to their universe by Thanos from another universe!
Once they understood, everyone immediately turned their attention to Rhodes, who was at a loss, and shifted their wariness from Toby to him.
Since Nebula, who teamed up with Rhodes to retrieve the Power Gem, was switched out, it's highly likely that this Rhodes is also a fake!
When Rhodes saw that everyone was looking at him with suspicion, he looked like he was about to cry.
"I...I really am! Nebula and I got the Cosmic Orb from the Temple of Power and came right back. I don't know when Nebula was switched..."
Toby looked at Rod's innocent face and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
Ah, the same old lies again...
Sure enough, Rhodes in this universe, which is close to the Holy Timeline, had already been switched with a Skrull during the Civil War.
Because his spider-sense emotional perception ability could clearly sense the panic mixed with lies in Rhodes's emotions!
It has to be said that his spider-sense upgrade to this emotion perception ability is truly abnormal. As long as something has emotions, whether it is a pure living being or a half-machine being, it cannot lie to him!
This way, even if the timeline changes and he doesn't know what will happen in the future, he can still avoid a lot of trouble!
This ability is especially important when dealing with Skrulls like the one who is now disguised as Rhodes and can even replicate DNA!
However... he doesn't plan to take action against the Skrulls right now, so he didn't expose Rhodes on the spot.
Instead, Toby composed himself and spoke up to smooth things over: "He was the Rhodes from before he transmigrated; the one who was switched was just Nebula."
