Chapter 1289: The Interstellar Grand Stage (Part 13)

In the office of the S. H. I. E. L. D. psychologist, Schiller turned his office chair and looked at the document in his hand with a furrowed brow. When the chair turned back to the front, Schiller placed the document on the desktop, looked at Coulson sitting opposite, and said: "You mean, Stark Group wants to intervene in S. H. I. E. L. D.'s introduction of symbiotes to strengthen the combat power of agents?"

Coulson nodded, put his hands in front of him, leaned back on the chair in a relaxed manner, and said like chatting: "We don't know why Stark Group suddenly became interested in symbiotes. Before, when Osborn Group was researching biotechnology, they had thought about cooperating with the Klyntar clan to extract symbiote factors from them to manufacture biological battle armor."

"But now, individual battle armor is no longer a hot project. Old Osborn has lost interest in those sticky symbiotes and hasn't had any ideas about Venom for a long time."

"But now it seems the situation has reversed. Osborn Group is more interested in Mercury, but Stark Group has turned around and started researching symbiotes."

"At least from the intelligence obtained by S. H. I. E. L. D., Stark Group's technological route doesn't have much to do with biotechnology, and there is no need to change the route."

"This shows that Stark's sudden interest in symbiotes is not to research them." Schiller sorted out the somewhat messy clues in his mind.

Now it is known that Batman in the main universe of the DC world entered Tony Stark's consciousness space through soul homology, but he definitely didn't go there for a tour. Batman has a purpose for everything he does.

They didn't know each other before, nor had they heard of each other's big names, but understood each other's wisdom through the soul resonance with Schiller as the carrier. This is the most critical point.

When they understood each other's wisdom, they hit it off and got together, which means they need each other's wisdom to do something.

Schiller guessed that it was probably Stark who invited Batman, and the purpose of the invitation must be related to the plan he was secretly working on.

From this deduction, the plan Stark was carrying out behind everyone's back was likely more magnificent than Schiller imagined, and also more difficult. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to pull another genius into the game.

It is hard for the world to imagine what kind of thing requires the wisdom of both Batman and Iron Man to complete. And for Schiller, he also thought of another point, that is, the two of them have been together for several days and still have no movement, which is not normal.

When the thinking and soul of two people are connected, they don't need inefficient things like language to communicate. The thinking of two geniuses merges together, and there is nothing they can't think of. But they still have no movement, which means they are planning something big.

And what does all this have to do with symbiotes?

Suddenly Schiller had a flash of inspiration. He looked at Coulson and said: "Stark Group wants to intervene in the Klyntar clan's surrender to S. H. I. E. L. D., so what aspect do they specifically want to intervene in? Do they want to interfere with the process of symbiotes parasitizing agents?"

Coulson also furrowed his brows and said: "We don't know the specifics yet, because we don't want to alarm Stark Group. Schiller, you have to know that we must be cautious about matters related to Stark."

"Of course, Stark Group suddenly taking action to put pressure on S. H. I. E. L. D. doesn't comply with regulations. From a personal perspective, Tony doesn't need to do this. But since they have done so, we cannot sternly refuse. Now it is we who need Stark, and humanity needs Stark."

"Haven't even asked?"

"The news brought back by the agent is that the staff on Stark's side didn't say anything. The agent didn't dare to ask rashly, because it might look a bit like an interrogation. You also know that the more experienced the agent, the more aggressive they are."

Schiller nodded, considering it an approval of Coulson's way of handling it. He had worked with agents like Grant Ward for a long time and knew that interrogation was the instinct of agents. No matter who they talked to, it sounded like they were questioning.

S. H. I. E. L. D. is also divided into two factions. Obviously, Coulson belongs to the conservative faction. He tends to smile at any force and not offend them. S. H. I. E. L. D. also needs such people to ease relations with other forces outside of interrogation, investigation, and questioning.

Schiller also believed that this matter needed to be handled cautiously, but he was different from Coulson. He had many side moves.

He tapped the desktop gently with his pen tip, looked at Coulson, and asked: "Is Peter at Stark Tower now?"

"If you are referring to that Skrull, yes, he is still busy with the development of Inter-Sky transport technology. Oh, I understand, you mean to let Peter go and ask Tony?"

"Asking alone won't work." Schiller revealed a smile and said: "Since Tony intends to hide it from me, he won't tell Peter under normal circumstances."

Schiller said while taking out his phone and dialing a number, and said to the other side: "Hello? Peter, is it like this? Are you very busy recently? Nothing, I just want to tell you that the Peter Parker responsible for the East Second District of the Bronx is afraid that he cannot complete his work for the time being."

"You have already let the new clone Spider-Man and Spider-Man Noir go over? You are truly becoming more and more visionary, sir."

"Right, that's right. His situation is very bad, he has some post-traumatic stress disorder." Schiller's tone lowered, and he said: "He cried very badly before. Peter, you cannot blame his cowardice. The comrades who fought side by side with him died in front of him, and there was more than one."

"They died painfully in front of him, and he saw the even more painful expressions of those who survived. I absolutely cannot allow a Spider-Man in such a mental state to do any work, even if Nick comes, it won't work."

Schiller sighed gently and said: "But having said that, if he always lies here, the situation in their universe is really hopeless. I am trying to comfort him, but the effect is not obvious. After all, he and I haven't known each other for a long time, unlike us two."

"No, Peter, this is just a small matter for me." Schiller shook his head gently and said: "I have encountered many situations much more difficult than this in my career, and I have reversed them all the same. You have to believe in my professional quality."

"Since you have already allocated the spare security tasks, I have nothing to worry about... Yes, I called you just to say this, nothing else. I have some work here, I'll hang up first."

Schiller hung up the phone. Coulson had a teasing expression and said: "You and Nick play this group of strong little lambs around, good at using the kindness and concern for others of Spider-Man. One day, they will hate you."

"Mr. Coulson, this is why you are still only an eight-level agent to this day." Schiller shook his head again and said: "Do you really think Spider-Man doesn't know what we are doing?"

"Don't know that we are exploiting them, dispatching them, and even enslaving them? Don't know that we are using their feelings? You underestimate Spider-Man too much."

Schiller stood up with one hand supporting the desktop, walked around to the bookshelf, and said: "Spider-Man's kindness brings him an extra spirituality and keenness. He actually can observe people's emotions very well, but is not good at expressing them. Every Spider-Man knows very well what I and Nick are doing."

"If you must use the metaphor of shepherd and lamb, then every lamb that comes here has been scarred and painful. They have lost too many only pillars that can support them to this day, which is their inner kindness."

"But it is too difficult to survive just by relying on kindness. There is no one in this world who is born with a firm will. If there is a gentle village that can provide them with rest, let them temporarily put down those painful memories, and work and live with peace of mind, then no matter what they pay, they are willing."

"There is no pure love in this world. The love produced by valuing their value and appreciating their souls is equal."

"I and Nick love them, although we love their value more, but they also felt love, felt those rare loves they once had but lost several times."

"Spider-Man has lost too much." In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Peter leaned on the experimental table and opened his mouth: "Except for me, other Spider-Men lost their uncles and aunts, lost Gwen, and some also lost Mary Jane and children."

"Now, I heard more tragic tragedies." Peter closed his eyes forcefully, his eyelashes kept trembling, and he said in a slightly trembling tone: "In front of him, his relatives and lovers died, and he saw the even more painful expressions of those who survived. I cannot imagine this day, or rather, I dare not imagine."

"If one day I lose you, lose you, lose Dr. Schiller, lose Steve, I dare not imagine."

A hand was placed on his shoulder. Stark pursed his lips and looked at him and said: "Then don't imagine it. That kind of thing will definitely not happen."

Peter was about to open his mouth, and Stark pressed his shoulder forcefully and said: "I know, you want to say, these things really happened in another universe. You who heard such tragedies must feel scared."

"Every Peter Parker in every universe is constantly repeating tragedies, bearing the death of relatives and lovers, witnessing the death of friends. The difference is only that some people accepted all this, while some are still in painful transformation."

"But when I went above the universe, besides caring about myself, caring about every Stark, I also paid attention to you, and this made me understand why Schiller seems to never be satisfied. He is terribly greedy."

"After I saw the countless tragedies in your life, that terrible fire of greed was also ignited in my heart." Stark's eyes stared at Peter and said: "The endless driving force pushed me to today, and its name is, my child cannot lose everything."

Stark reached out and took Peter's shoulder. Peter hugged him, buried his head in his neck, and said: "Perhaps every Spider-Man who comes here thinks so. Only because they understand suffering can they try their best to avoid these for others."

Stark stroked Peter's back and said: "Your heart is beating fast, you are still feeling nervous. It seems that the experience of that Spider-Man scared you."

"But it doesn't matter, Peter. Since the day I ascended above the universe, the fire of greed has never been extinguished, and walking to today, this greed still makes me want more."

"Listen, I have a plan..."
