Chapter 3943

"What should I do? Go find him now?" Spider-Man asked. "However, if I leave now, I might be discovered by them. I don't want to intensify the conflict between the two sides."

Schiller shook his head and said: "The conflict already exists; if left alone, it will inevitably worsen. Only by taking the initiative can there be a glimmer of hope. What exactly is the attitude of the Avengers?"

"Originally everyone was still hesitating, feeling that the electronic life form that ran out couldn't make much of a splash, and maybe this matter would pass if covered up. But they have probably already learned through the Spider-Men who went to the dark universe how bad the situation in the neighboring world is. Batman's retaliation is probably inevitable, and there is no room for wavering anymore."

Spider-Man's tone was trembling, and Schiller also felt the trickiness of the matter. The situation now is that if the electronic life form was just causing trouble in this big world, then everything would still be negotiable. The worst result would just be the main universe giving up its leadership position and staying in a corner in the upcoming multiverse alliance.

But unfortunately, this electronic life form ran to another world and caused such a big mess. The main victims are the Batmen of various universes; with so many Batmen united to investigate to the end, the 616 main universe has no room for sophistry.

If it were in their own big world, they could still use the special status of the main universe as a bargaining chip, but for Batman, the main universe of this big world has no meaning. They have their own main universe, and what status the main universe here has doesn't reduce the guilt, but instead makes them feel that the Avengers of the main universe here are very irresponsible.

The electronic life form caused such a big mess over there, and Batman will absolutely not let it go. Then at this time, the Avengers of the main universe only have one choice left, which is to fight to the end. Because even if they retreat, they won't be forgiven, let alone let go; there is no room for negotiation, what other way is there besides gritting their teeth and being stubborn?

Schiller can also understand the thinking of the Marvel main universe. Fighting for the interests of their own single universe among the multiverses is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. If you retreat once, there will be a second time; either you retreat to the end, or you grit your teeth and don't retreat at all. Universe interests, not a single bit of concession.

They also have the confidence to do so. Although this matter is indeed not their reason, the relationship between universes is like between countries; morality may be important, but what is more important is interests.

As the main universe of Marvel, even if they did it wrong, they cannot let Batman mess around here. Because they represent not only their own single universe, but also a whole big world. If this step is retreated, they will always be weaker when facing neighboring universes in the future.

So they actually have a natural advantage. It's fine if Batman doesn't make a move; if he really wants to start a war, most of Marvel's universes will have to stand on the side of their own big world, even if they feel the main universe did it wrong, they have to pinch their noses and help them drive the Batmen out.

In short, the Avengers of the main universe now probably have made up their minds not to retreat, tying all the universes here to the chariot; at worst, they will all explode together, betting that Batman doesn't dare to destroy the universe.

For anyone, this is the worst result. Once a multiverse war occurs, every universe cannot stay out of it, including the two universes where Schiller is. With so many universes fighting, in the end, it can only be a big restart for both sides.

But the restart is uncontrollable, and may not even be under the control of the universe administrator. It's not certain when it will restart; if it restarts for a year or two, it's fine, but if it's all washed and reset, then it's really a waste of effort.

Schiller pondered for a moment and said: "Is there no possibility of any wavering?"

Spider-Man hesitated slightly and said: "Actually... the one most likely to waver is Dr. Pym. Although he is the creator of Ultron, he is actually the person who least wants things to develop into what they are now. He doesn't care much about universe interests, he just wants to solve the problem."

Schiller sighed. Actually, developing to this situation, whether Ultron can be completely solved is no longer the key problem. Moreover, Ultron has already transformed his life form, and Pym, the creator, has no way to deal with him, and the role he can play is very limited.

Schiller just wanted to continue saying something when Spider-Man's phone rang. He answered the phone, and the spider compound eyes on the mask widened instantly. "What did you say?! They locked up Dr. Pym?? Are they crazy?!"

After Spider-Man hung up the phone, his expression was a bit sluggish. Schiller looked at him and asked: "What's wrong?"

Spider-Man opened his mouth, not knowing how to say it for a moment, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said: "Dr. Pym is missing. Captain suspects... suspects it was Doctor Strange who did it."

Schiller was also silent for a moment. Spider-Man pursed his lips and said: "Before, Dr. Pym proposed to go to the central universe to find Jarvis; he felt that only Jarvis of the central universe could completely defeat Ultron, but Doctor Strange and Iron Man stopped him."

"Afraid he would leak the news?"

"That's right. They don't want the culprit of their own universe to run around, otherwise it's very likely to cause public anger. And now, they might be worried that Dr. Pym will plead guilty, so they..."

Schiller thought for a moment. It's not strange at all that Iron Man and Doctor Strange would do this. It sounds quite inhumane, but it is indeed the best way now.

Since they have decided to be stubborn to the end, preferring to fight Batman rather than loosen their mouths, they can never hand over Pym, the culprit, for trial, otherwise they would be three points weaker in momentum, what else is there to fight?

Politics is like this; right and wrong are not worth mentioning in front of the position. Things that don't fit the position cannot be mentioned even if done right, and cannot be admitted even if done wrong, otherwise it will be a complete collapse.

Moreover, the Illuminati hasn't done abstract things; they once had the glorious resume of driving Hulk out of Earth. To say that they have restricted Pym's actions now in order to maintain the interests of this universe is also reasonable.

But Schiller always felt a bit strange, and he said: "How did Captain America know? Did he see Doctor Strange do it?"

"No, it's just that Dr. Pym is missing. Captain America and Black Widow found traces of suspected magic destruction in the apartment he rented."

"What about Pym's equipment? I mean, the Ant-Man suit and Pym particles."

"Not clear." Spider-Man shook his head and said, "I didn't have time to ask in detail."

"Make a call to Captain now, tell him not to act rashly. This matter may have hidden feelings, we have to go to the scene to see before we can make a judgment."

Spider-Man dialed quickly. After the call was connected, he quickly said to the other side: "Captain, don't worry, this matter may have trickiness, I want to go to the scene to see. Don't..."

Spider-Man abruptly took the phone away. Schiller vaguely heard Captain America's roar, but it wasn't at Spider-Man, but very likely he was already arguing with someone over there.

"Forget it, give me an address and I'll go myself, you hurry back and pull Captain America back." Schiller said, "By the way, tell Nick, if the Avengers decide to fight Batman head-on, the preparations they have made now are far from enough. He will know what to do."

Spider-Man nodded. The spider silk fired out, and his vigorous figure soon disappeared into the Manhattan night. Schiller picked up his phone, dialed the number, and said: "Bruce, how are things on your end? Alright, I know. Call the Punisher, we'll meet at the old place."

"Old place" refers to the turf of Jigsaw on the edge of Brooklyn. Saying it's turf, actually it's only two streets. As soon as Schiller arrived, he saw Bruce and the Punisher sitting side by side on a bench by the street.

"It seems you two are getting along well. Stop the nonsense, Dr. Pym has been kidnapped. Captain America suspects it was Iron Man and the others, but I don't think so. We have to go to his residence to investigate, and it's best to rescue him."

The jump of this topic was too strong, and the Punisher couldn't help but frown. Schiller put the sniper rifle back into the box, looked down at his phone, and found that Spider-Man had already sent him the address. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and said: "I'll explain to you on the way, get in the car."

The three got into the car. Schiller concisely told the Punisher what Spider-Man had told him. The Punisher was confused; obviously he hadn't been to Battleworld. He had a ticket, maybe he was busy with revenge and didn't have time.

However, the Punisher himself is a quite sharp person, and he said: "I said there was a period of time when the number of Spider-Men in the city increased; I thought they were all fans imitating Spider-Man, I didn't expect them to come from other universes."

He sighed and said: "Can I summarize it like this: our universe released a quite dangerous creature, harmed a large group of heroes in the neighboring universe, and in order to deal with the retaliation measures they might take, the Avengers of this universe decided not to repent, so they locked up the culprit Dr. Pym to prevent him from being cowardly before the battle."

"The first half is correct, but the second half is not necessarily." Schiller said while driving, "Logically speaking, they do have the motive to do so, but it shouldn't be now."

"How so?"

"Almost all the Batmen of the neighboring universes have united, which is a quite powerful force; the Avengers of a universe here can't handle it. If they really want to fight, they have to contact the Avengers of other universes first to form a vital force before they can possibly confront them head-on."

"And contacting allies in the multiverse takes time. In the case where they are not reasonable on their side, this process may be even more difficult, and the time required may far exceed the time it takes for Batman to defeat Ultron and then free up his hands to attack."

"In order to buy time to win over allies for themselves, the Avengers can only be polite before being forceful, which is to first put on a gesture of wanting to talk. And the key to the negotiation lies in Dr. Pym."

"Although the electronic life form has now transformed its life form, how much Pym can influence him is an unknown, but Pym is his creator after all, and once used the underlying code to make him suffer a big loss; perhaps the plan to completely clear Ultron in the neighboring world will be useful later. It's best to use him to drag out Batman's time."

"If they force Dr. Pym to negotiate, a person as smart as Batman will definitely discover it, and will definitely discover that the Avengers didn't want to negotiate sincerely at all. So even to drag Batman, they have to coax Dr. Pym first, use words like universe interests to kidnap him, let him deal with Batman, while they take this time to win over allies."

"If they really want to tear their faces off with Dr. Pym, at least they have to wait until they win over some allies in the multiverse and have the confidence to confront Batman head-on before restricting Dr. Pym."

After listening, the Punisher nodded and said: "It sounds like a plan they could come up with. Then what's going on now?"

"If it's not a coincidence, then someone deliberately kidnapped Dr. Pym and framed Iron Man and Doctor Strange, so that they can divide the Avengers and let them fall into infighting again."
