Chapter 1411

Stark and Schiller stared at each other across the door frame of the Stark Tower laboratory. Finally, Stark lowered his head and stood on tiptoe, stretched out a hand to support the door frame, looked at Schiller and said: "I really have an urgent matter now!"

"But if you don't pass the psychological evaluation, you can't do anything. That's what we agreed on before. Didn't you agree too?" Schiller said unhurriedly.

Stark let out a long sigh, withdrew his hand, turned sideways to give Schiller room, and said: "Okay, I'll fill out the form first, and then talk to you. About how long will it take?"

"Anywhere from two to five hours."

Stark's butt had just touched the sofa when it seemed to be burned. He "whooshed" up and said: "Why so long?"

"Because you never answer my questions properly. Last time we talked for more than four hours, this time it should be the same."

"I was..." Stark revealed an awkward expression, then turned his head to one side, wrinkled the muscles around his eyes and said: "You know I'm not used to revealing my heart to anyone. This has nothing to do with your identity or profession. I'm just simply... having psychological barriers."

Schiller sat on the single sofa on the other side with his legs crossed and said: "Thinking that emotional fragility is a manifestation of weakness, and being moved and shedding tears is shameful?"

"It has nothing to do with that, but say whatever you want. Can't we shorten this part of the time?" Stark lifted the hem of his suit and asked with his hands on his hips.

Schiller sat in the chair, reached out to take a pen from the side, and said: "A few hours ago, someone said they were willing to provide round-the-clock companionship."

"But now things have changed!"

"Then you go, I can completely move the psychological evaluation to tomorrow, I'm not in a hurry."

"But you can't..." Stark covered his forehead. He knew that if preaching were useful, he wouldn't have to focus on companionship.

Schiller revealed a wicked smile, looked at Stark and said: "How does it feel to be in a hurry but unable to do anything?"

Stark stared at him with wide eyes. Schiller spread his hands and said: "Anyway, that's how it is. If you want to watch me, then don't do anything. If you want to leave me, then move freely."

"Are you doing this on purpose?! That wouldn't be you..."

"I know, you and that guy in your head have always wanted to do something, related to the gods and the basic rules of this universe. I have been waiting for this opportunity, and I didn't expect to run into it today."

Schiller's tone was very brisk, filled with the kind of gloating that made Stark grit his teeth, while Batman said in Stark's head: "Do you know? There is also a guy in my universe who likes to create such a dilemma for people."

Schiller stretched out a hand, flipped his palm upward and said: "Why don't we make a deal? You go do what you want to do, I go do what I want to do, we don't interfere with each other, wouldn't that be good?"

Stark looked straight at him, then walked to the chair in front of Schiller, sat down, stared into his eyes and said: "Schiller, I know you must have found a way to exploit a loophole, but given that your mental state is still normal, I won't hold it against you."

"Are you creating bargaining chips out of thin air for yourself?" Schiller looked into his eyes with a smile and said: "But you know clearly that this trick doesn't work on me."

"Okay." Stark spread his hands to show he had no aggression and said: "I really have an urgent matter now, so I really don't have the time to waste with you here, but you must promise me that during the time I'm away, you will never do anything dangerous!"

"Then it's settled. You go do your thing, I go do my thing, we don't interfere with each other, how about that?"

Stark stared into Schiller's eyes. Schiller leaned back and said: "I never lie to friends, you can rest assured."

Stark snorted and said: "I'll believe you one last time."

"But I advise you to better not do anything dangerous either." Schiller pointed to his temple and said: "That guy in your head might provide you with some bolder ideas, but you'd better not really want to realize them."

"Only you will take risks, simply with a bad track record." Stark retorted: "And I won't do that, because I'm not a mental patient."

"You'd better not be."

Half an hour later, the two looked at each other in silence inside the Galactus Engine.

"Schiller!"

"Stark!"

Both of them raised their voices and shouted each other's names, staring at each other in the central control room where the Galactus Engine was about to be completed.

"Can you stop torturing me? Tony!" Schiller frowned deeply, hugged his arms and said: "Isn't it just that I want to drive this thing to speed and crash into a bunch of people, and then frame it on the Cancerverse?! Where is this dangerous?!"

"I thought you just wanted to steal this thing back, but it turns out you actually want to drive it to crash into people?! Isn't this dangerous?!

"

"You got it wrong! You actually have the nerve to say you understand me?! Would I go around such a big circle just to steal this broken thing?!"

"He still didn't tell the whole truth." Batman said in Stark's head at a fast speed: "He deliberately used exaggerated facts to attract your attention, mobilize your emotions, and distract you. This is definitely not his ultimate goal."

"Stop it, Schiller. I know you didn't go around such a big circle just to drive it to crash into people. Tell me quickly, what on earth do you want to do?"

Schiller opened his mouth, stared at Stark, then gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it! Batman, can't you teach him something good?!"

Stark rushed forward directly, wanting to grab Schiller. Schiller ran around the laboratory table. Stark asked while chasing: "What on earth are you going to do?!"

"Stop chasing!" Schiller shouted helplessly: "I plan to take it to crash into our universe!"

"Why do you want to crash into our universe?!" Stark asked in shock.

"Have you ever played billiards?"

Stark paused for a moment, then shouted in horror: "Schiller!

!

"

He stood by the table, one hand supporting the table to keep himself from falling, the other hand pressing his brow, closing his eyes and saying: "Wait a minute!... Where do you plan to crash our universe into?"

"To a friend of mine." Schiller said righteously, and then he added: "This is not my decision alone. Eternity promised to let me help him change a boss."

Stark was like a weathered stone statue. Batman's voice sounded in his heart at the right time: "I take back my previous judgment. This Schiller you know is probably indeed crazier than the one I know."

"You have to know, this is absolutely feasible." Schiller was still explaining very seriously.

"Although our universe will become a billiard ball, Eternity and Death will be responsible for stabilizing the cosmic structure, and the Galactus Engine will be fixed in a certain part of our universe. In this way, our universe will change from a house to a car. We can drive it wherever we want, and even drift around the big world."

"At the same time, when we leave, we can still return to the inside of the big world, because the death of the Cancerverse has disappeared. If I, as the incarnation of death, am killed here, I can summon the death of our universe. In this way, the death of our universe can replace the position of the death of the Cancerverse. The death realms of the two universes can become a transfer station between our universe and the big world..."

"In this way, everyone in our universe can go to the big world without any scruples and participate in various events, and be completely fearless of death, because if we die, it will still be the death of the original world to pick us up, and we will die back to our current universe, allowing us to withdraw from the dangerous battlefield, instead of like that group of idiots in the Cancerverse, dying wherever they are resurrected, without even a safe resurrection point."

"This universe will serve as a base independent of the big world, and also a resurrection point for all of us. We can then unscrupulously go to other universes to collect the resources we need, without worrying about being timid and afraid to move forward because of the long distance and many dangers."

"Then what is the price?" Stark stared into Schiller's eyes and said. Schiller was about to open his mouth, but Stark interrupted him and said: "You should know clearly that you can't lie to me, at least you can't lie to Batman."

Schiller stood on the spot for a while, and then slightly raised his chin and said.

"When the Galactus Engine and our universe dock, there will definitely be an energy impact that is difficult to resist. This is an impact from cosmic rules. Galactus, as one of the five cosmic gods, can withstand this impact itself, but the driver is very difficult to survive."

"I don't plan to let Gray Mist carry it hard, because that will make him very painful, so I will commit suicide one second before the impact comes, abandon this body, and return to the death realm."

"Gray Mist is actually not a symbiote. After he awakens, he no longer needs the host's body. On the contrary, he can reshape a human body for me, and I will be resurrected soon."

Schiller spread his hands and said: "That's it, no loss, everything is within the plan."

Stark's facial muscles twitched. He looked at Schiller and said: "You tricked the Cancerverse into opening a channel to our universe. The essence is not to let them invade, but for you to sneak over. Everything is planned by you."

"He probably planned more than this." Batman said in a deep voice again: "Keep asking him, he must have other goals."

Stark stared at Schiller's eyes in silence. Half a minute later, Schiller blinked and said: "Really hard to deal with."

"Okay, my ultimate goal is still to crash into people, or rather, not people, but gods."

"Who are you going to crash into?"

"Gabriel."

Stark and Batman froze together.

"Why?"

Instantly, Stark and Batman saw endless coldness and madness in the greedy eyes of Schiller.

"Because, the person who restarts the universe is the one who is crazy... Arrogance has no temper, but I don't."

Batman's voice sounded instantly.

"He didn't bring Gray Mist, knock him out!"

"Too late." Schiller revealed a cold smile. He rarely lifted his lips to reveal his teeth, looked at Stark and said: "It should be Jarvis, who invaded the terminal of the Cabal, who told you about the existence of the Galactus Engine, so you rushed here in a hurry."

"But what he doesn't know is that the Galactus Engine is controlled by thought. I collected enough knowledge through other individuals and swallowed the madness in the knowledge of the Multitude within the Galactus Engine. The degree of thought access has reached 100%... Hold on to the handrail, the car is starting!"

After a violent shaking, Stark felt irresistible weightlessness. This engine made of gods was running at full speed, and in an instant, it would crash into the universe and merge with it, becoming the oar of the ship, the wheel of the car, and the beginning of another crazy adventure.

Schiller was shaken to the ground, his head hit the wall, and blood flowed from his forehead.

While he was distracted by operating the Galactus Engine, Stark rushed forward and grabbed him, pressing him against the corner of the wall with his body to prevent him from flying due to weightlessness, and then he heard Schiller let out a low laugh in his ear.

"Since you want 'companionship', then die with me."

The next second, the speed was so fast that space began to blur. Stark grabbed Schiller tightly, but the voice in his brain was completely unlike him, calm.

"Batman, say something."

"Say what?"

"Say what you should say, say what this universe can't say, hurry!"

Batman was silent for a fraction of a second, then he floated to the surface of Stark's consciousness and said with a serious expression: "... Because, I am Batman!"

In the Temple of Eternity, which was emitting faint light in the depths of the dark universe, the sleeping Eternity suddenly woke up. He raised his head and looked at the place where the universe was vibrating, and then shouted in shock.

"What is that?!

How... why is the destruction he caused alone more than all of Schiller's invasions combined?!

! Who is he?!

"

"Damn it! Too late!" Eternity gritted his teeth and shouted. He looked left and right, revealing a painful and embarrassed expression, and said: "This is not something I can deal with at all! At worst, I won't reset Schiller's memory!"

Instantly, Eternity turned into countless stars, and his broad arms gathered the universe, and all timelines in the universe began to retreat.

The mutants returned to the base, the mages returned to Kamar-Taj, the monsters that didn't belong to this world were cleared out, the M'kraan Crystal channel was closed, and all people and things belonging to this universe were brought back.

The universe restarted.

In the meditation room of Kamar-Taj, Strange, sitting opposite Stark, touched the cover of the black notebook with his fingers and shook his head, saying: "The progress of those children is too great. Their method of handling the protests in the Bronx is indeed good."

"Announcing the news that the Mandarin's human bombs might be all over the district, using people's will to survive, forcing them to find their own way and participate in those training classes that provide accommodation, slightly despicable, but very effective."

"And I didn't expect that on the day of the Asgard Technology Expo, the Mandarin would dare to rush directly into the main venue. It's really not knowing how to live or die."

Stark revealed a smile and said: "The Mandarin's idea of stirring up trouble in New York didn't work, so he could only hide in the old place."

"It happened that a group of gods from the East were carrying out exchange activities and happened to pass by his territory, chasing him up and down. He could only use world teleportation to escape, but was interfered with by space and transmitted directly to the Expo venue."

"That one holding a stick... the Great Sage Equaling Heaven? Actually beat him into meat paste with one stick, which really caused quite a mess."

"Fortunately, everything is solved, and the young heroes of Earth who attended the meeting can be considered to have shown off." Strange gently touched the cover of the black notebook with his hand.

And Stark stood up and said: "Okay, I still have to do a psychological evaluation today. Schiller should be out of class."

Strange stood up to see him off and said: "I always feel that you are hiding something from me, and it seems a bit strange."

Stark lowered his eyes and said while walking out: "Nothing, it's just that... the old days have returned."

Arriving in the classroom of the S. H. I. E. L. D. Agent Training Academy, Stark just pushed the door open and saw Schiller walking up the stairs of the classroom, giving him a big hug against the flow of people.

"How was the class?" Stark asked as usual.

"Not bad, and... thank you."

"What's wrong?"

The moment Schiller hugged him tightly, Stark smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and then found himself standing on the top of a tower full of fog.

Stark instinctively looked at his feet. Below the tower, he saw a huge head of Galactus.

"Tony..." Schiller's voice came from behind Stark. Stark turned his head and stared at Schiller.

Looking at Schiller's calm face, Stark said: "You know I won't let you die, so, is this also in your plan?"

Stark's tone revealed a trace of exhaustion, but what he waited for was a hug. Schiller closed his eyes and said in his ear.

"Knull is not good enough, this is what you want—the 'God experimental body' that truly controls the rules of the universe."

"You..."

"Thank you for your 'companionship'."
