With a clatter, a pile of colorful gems was poured onto the table. A robot blinked its eyes, looked at the doctor in a white coat opposite, and said, "Sir, are you going to play Infinite Ultron again? But hasn't he already..."

"Yes, there is no Infinite Ultron in this universe, so you are the only Infinite Ultron." Schiller gave his robot butler a thumbs up and said, "Listen, you know that Evil Stark, right? The one who was wandering around our universe before and recently went home."

"Oh, I know him. Jarvis also told me to keep an eye on him because he has to take care of Ms. Wanda. What's wrong with him?"

"He took my plan but doesn't intend to pay. You help me collect the debt. Of course, collecting debt is illegal, so you are just an evil super robot who happened to pass by that universe."

Ultron covered his forehead with his fingers in a very human-like way and said, "But I'm not..."

"Who said you aren't? What kind of good robot can get this?" Schiller said while bending down, "But it took me a lot of effort."

Then Ultron watched as Schiller took a metal glove and placed it on the desktop. There were six neat grooves on the back of the glove.

Three days ago, at the Interstellar Security Office in the Ring Sector, Thanos opened the door, welcomed Schiller in, and said, "What wind blew the good doctor to me? When Loki said you were coming, I thought I heard wrong."

"Why? Don't you welcome me?" Schiller smiled and looked at Thanos's office.

"How could that be? Please allow me to welcome your arrival on behalf of the Interstellar Security Headquarters. The door here is always open for you, Doctor."

"I really have serious business this time." Schiller sat on the sofa, Thanos sat opposite him, and the two chatted while holding drinks.

"I saw your speech about the achievements of interstellar security work this quarter in the interstellar news channel newly established in New York. To be honest, I didn't expect that in places where most interstellar civilizations can't see, you have already made such a great contribution to interstellar security."

"It's all what I should do." Thanos smiled and said, "Maintaining interstellar security is a long-term work, and it's only just begun."

Schiller put one leg on the other, wrapped his hands around the knee in front, looked at Thanos, and said, "Well, I must admit that our universe has become safer, more harmonious, and more stable because of you."

"But if, I mean if, there is a universe that is not particularly attentive to interstellar security work and does not have a landmark and leading figure like you to lead them to do this kind of work well, but is very slack, leading to the universe's situation falling into complete chaos and disorder, what would you do?"

Thanos thought, I'm afraid this is Schiller's serious business for coming here. After a little thought, he replied, "To restore order, I'm afraid violent means are indispensable. If the situation has reached the extreme, I'm afraid we have to partially believe in the phrase 'there is no construction without destruction'."

Schiller raised his head slightly, made an approving expression, and then continued to ask, "Then, based on your rich interstellar security experience, if we have to use some reasonable force, what way would be better?"

"Large-scale armies will probably inevitably cause panic." Thanos read Schiller's meaning very well and said, "I think some small-scale, hard-to-detect special forces with powerful strength would be a good choice."

"Of course, I think so too. But then again, not all races are like the gods in the Nine Realms, who are born with extremely superior physiques..."

Thanos read something else and said, "Then I'm afraid they have to rely on the assistance of some weapons."

"But firearms are inevitably inferior..."

"Perhaps magic is a good choice."

"The process of traditional mages practicing is too long..."

"Then take a crash course." Thanos nodded slightly and said, "I think perhaps, artifacts?"

"Genius idea." Schiller snapped his fingers and praised. He said, "But after all, I am just an ordinary human, and I really have no ideas about forging, nor do I know who has the ability to forge suitable artifacts."

"Oh, so that's it." Thanos stood up and said, "I think although interstellar security work must first be based on this universe, if it can radiate further and wider, it would be a good thing."

"Those who think deeply will inevitably contribute to the interstellar security of multiple universes." Schiller added.

"But the experts in forging are far away and close at hand." Thanos put on his glasses, squatted down, and began to rummage through the box in the lowest and most corner, saying, "The dwarf kingdom among the Nine Realms is a famous blacksmith. The weapons with divine power they forged for the Aesir are incomparably powerful, making many magical civilizations envious. I think if anyone can contribute to interstellar security in this way, it must be them."

Schiller also stood up, walked to the desk, and said, "Yes, the Nine Realms commanded by Asgard should indeed take more responsibility in this regard."

"I think His Majesty the God King will definitely cherish this opportunity, go all out, and set an example for interstellar security defenders."

Thanos took out a stack of documents, put them on the table, and said, "And I, this small interstellar security committee member of the Ring Sector, can only provide a blueprint for a weapon that I found on a lost star a long time ago, which might be used to maintain the interstellar security of other universes. Of course, the manufacturing cost will be a little bit high."

Schiller picked up the documents without even looking at them, put them away directly, and said, "Then I'm afraid I really have to suggest that His Highness Loki, who is in charge of procurement, entrust the Interstellar Alliance Chamber of Commerce to help Asgard find materials. By the way, what is the contact information for the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Oh, sorry, I've been too busy lately, I'm afraid I don't have time to contact them. Why don't you help me contact the two parties..."

"Easy." Thanos pushed his glasses, smiled, and sent Schiller to the door, saying, "I guarantee this will be a deal that both parties are satisfied with."

"Always so, goodbye, sir."

Schiller contacted Loki at the fastest speed, took the documents, and rushed to the Bifrost in a hurry. As soon as he landed, he saw Loki with wet hair looking at him with his arms crossed.

"Is your butt on fire?" Loki complained, "Thor and I finally had time to take a bath."

"Sorry to disturb your world of two, but this matter is very urgent." Schiller stuffed the documents Thanos gave him into Loki's arms and said, "Help me find the Dwarf King and forge this thing."

Loki looked down, and then his eyes widened, because he saw a design drawing of a glove on the cover of the document.

"Isn't this the Infinity Gauntlet?" Loki said in a daze. He had seen this thing from Loki in other universes.

"That's right, it's the Infinity Gauntlet. I just asked Thanos for the blueprint. How many days will it take to get it out at the fastest?"

"Listen to yourself, does this sound reasonable? A few days? This thing is an artifact that carries the Infinity Stones. You just threw over a blueprint and let us build it ourselves, and it didn't even say what materials to use!"

"Materials don't matter, and I don't really want you to forge an artifact." Schiller waved his hand and said, "It just needs to look like an artifact. The point is that it must look like the Infinity Gauntlet, and it must be very cool, making people feel that it would be a loss not to destroy a few universes after wearing it."

Loki raised his eyebrows, looked at Schiller, and said, "What do you want to do again?"

"Don't worry, the target this time is not our universe, but the other side. Just go ahead and do it."

"I'm getting more and more worried."

But in the end, Loki took the blueprint and let Schiller wait for him under the World Tree. Schiller saw Thor still soaking in the pool drinking juice. After entering the comfortable hot spring water, Schiller let out a satisfied sigh.

"Where's Loki?" Thor asked.

"He'll be here soon. By the way, there might be news about Asgard defending interstellar security in another universe recently. Don't worry, you don't really need to go, I'll just go."

"Don't worry???" Thor almost sprayed out his juice. He sat up, looked at Schiller, and said, "If you hadn't said the last sentence, I wouldn't be worried. What do you want to do again?"

"It's said to be another universe, but it didn't say how far away it is. Don't worry."

Soon Loki, who was in a hurry, came back, but didn't take the documents. He said, "Eitri scolded me, saying that I looked down on him by asking him to build a toy. I explained it for a long time before he was barely willing. It should be built in an afternoon."

"It's considered considerate of your frailty that he didn't hit you with a hammer." Thor said angrily, "If I went to tell him to build a fake, he could chase me all the way from Nidavellir to Jotunheim."

"So this thing is a fake?" Ultron scanned it with an energy scan and found that the energy reaction of the glove on the table was indeed not strong. Although the shape looked quite bluffing, even just looking at the hardness of the material, it couldn't be considered top-notch.

"Then what's the use of this?" Ultron asked with some confusion.

"It mainly plays a role in the shape." Schiller was struggling to press the gems in one by one, which made Ultron feel terrified. He said, "Wait, don't assemble it. What if it's really easy to use?"

"Even if it's easy to use here, it's useless after leaving this universe." Schiller pressed the last yellow gem on it and said, "Wear it to cause some trouble for that Iron Man wearing silver-white armor, for example, threatening him that you want to eliminate half the people in his universe with a snap of your fingers."

"Will I be hammered to pieces by him?" Ultron shrank his neck and said, "I heard Jarvis say that guy is quite strong."

"What are you afraid of? You are a robot. Even if your body is hammered to pieces, isn't your consciousness stored in my tower? Just come back and build a new body, right?"

"But I should at least know what the plan is."

"I already said there's no plan, everything follows nature. If you don't want to fight him, that's fine, just go there and stay until the time is up." Schiller spread his hands and said, "Suit yourself."

"Is it really not a plan?"

"It's really not."

Ultron stared at Schiller's face suspiciously, picked up the glove, put it on his mechanical hand, and walked into the portal while looking back three times.

Although he knew Schiller must not have told the truth, Ultron still intended to go and see. In fact, he was also a little curious about that Evil Iron Man.

However, of course, he wouldn't choose to rush up and fight Stark directly. The human-to-human phenomenon of Schiller's appearance was no joke. After staying with Schiller for a long time, most people would get used to hiding behind the scenes first, observing the situation clearly before making a move.

As soon as Ultron walked out of the portal, he saw a TV in a shop window by the street playing a piece of news.

"Extremis Biological Company announced to the public that it will build a global comprehensive biomedical center, aiming to develop medical technology and improve the human happiness index through medical means..."
