Chapter 3948: MU: The Super-Body Incident (Part 39)

~10 min read 1,969 words

The main universe Iron Man, who had taken off his armor, sat by the office window. Schiller sat opposite him, looking at the Long Island skyline.

In the Ant-Man kidnapping case, Iron Man and Doctor Strange were suspects, Hydra was a suspect, and even interdimensional travelers like Schiller were suspects—but one very important person was ignored, and that was Ultron.

Ultron was gone, but not dead. Moreover, it was normal for this kind of creature born from electronic life to leave thousands of backups in its old home. He hid in the dark like this, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

If it could be said that from the means alone, the murderer couldn't be confirmed as Ultron, then looking at the ultimate beneficiary, it was almost certain.

Pym was kidnapped, who benefited the most?

Of course it couldn't be Iron Man and Doctor Strange. They would rather hold Pym in their hands to have the initiative in initial negotiations; even if they didn't use him for negotiations, they couldn't let this culprit run around. Controlling him was the most normal choice.

It wouldn't be Hydra either. Hydra had requests for Pym; maybe they hoped he would improve equipment, maybe they pinned their hopes on letting him develop new weapons to reverse the Manfredi family's situation. But these benefits were too small, not worth mentioning compared to the big events of the multiverse, and they didn't have the ability to do so.

And Ultron, he was the person who feared Pym the most, because Pym was his creator, and almost eliminated him not long ago through underlying code. The hatred between them was irreconcilable. As long as he could take down Pym, his safety level could at least be improved by one-third.

And as the mastermind controlling the overall situation, he knew both Batman's and Iron Man's plans very well, and was also very clear about the contradictions between the two sides.

Taking down Pym could not only sow discord among the Avengers in the main universe, but also intensify the contradiction between the Marvel and DC main universes; it was simply killing multiple birds with one stone. He had no reason not to do so.

And for an electronic life form that came without a shadow and went without a trace, he didn't have to go down to the field himself. There were so many enemies of the Avengers, just picking one was enough to give them a headache; he himself risked almost nothing, simply a steady profit without loss.

The fact that "Jarvis might have a problem" almost became the last straw that crushed the main universe Iron Man. However, it might be because of the torture of years of anxiety, Iron Man's mental resilience had been raised to a very high level, and he hadn't collapsed because of this matter for the time being.

They waited for a little while, and Doctor Strange arrived. He didn't take a portal, but flew in directly from the window. Schiller turned his head and looked at him without changing his expression. He discovered that, perhaps because of the settings, these people in the main universe looked much more powerful than those in other universes; even if they were all still very young, their prestige was already very intimidating.

"What's going on?" Doctor Strange asked.

"Jarvis might have a problem; my armor can't be worn. Take me back to Stark Tower, I need a comprehensive inspection of the software system."

Doctor Strange's eyebrows were tightly knitted. He didn't understand how it became like this, and then heard the main universe Iron Man say: "You have to find a way to find Whiplash; he isn't dead yet, and he intercepted Ant-Man under Ultron's control. We have to save him."

Doctor Strange was even more puzzled. He didn't know how the matter turned to an unknown criminal; but the main universe Iron Man's expression was serious enough to scare people, and he finally decided to follow suit.

Then he turned his head and saw Schiller. Compared to the main universe Iron Man, the main universe Doctor Strange obviously knew him better, and thus was even more shocked, which could be called despair.

"Why is he here?" Doctor Strange asked.

"It's fortunate that he is here," the main universe Iron Man said, "Schiller is out of interest, Batman is not. If it were Batman who came to the door, we could..."

Before he finished speaking, Bruce walked out of the lounge. Seeing those blue eyes, the main universe Iron Man and Doctor Strange backed away a step in unison.

Batman's true appearance could be hidden from others, but not from them. One had a scanner in the armor, one knew magic; they naturally knew what Bruce Wei En looked like.

"What's with that expression?" Bruce couldn't help but ask, "Do I look like I eat people?"

"Since when don't you? Then why does your assistant always disappear?" Doctor Strange asked.

Bruce opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment, paused, and then said: "I say I'm not Batman, will you believe it?"

The two looked at each other, and then exposed the expression of "Do you think we are fools?" in unison.

"You still don't understand Batman too well," Bruce shook his head and said, "Without the certainty of completely defeating you, Batman will absolutely not show his face in front of you."

Just at this time, Doctor Strange gave the main universe Iron Man a look. They obviously thought of the same thing—if there's no bargaining chip, create one; kidnapping a Batman is not impossible.

"I advise you guys better not think about kidnapping him," Schiller opened his mouth and said, "That's completely looking for trouble."

"Why? Even if he isn't Batman, he is at least a Bruce Wei En from some universe, isn't he?"

"Because no one will come to save him," Schiller said truthfully, "To be honest, he isn't very favored by Batman. You kidnap him, and Batman won't ignore you, maybe he'll even give you a like."

"Why?"

"Because you cleared the most unstable factor in their group for them, and left this factor in your own group, greatly weakening your own strength."

"Just him?" The two looked at Bruce. Bruce spread his hands and made an innocent state.

"I must say this is slander," Bruce shook his head like a rattle, "I am absolutely not the most unstable factor in any group. You understand, sheep will form groups, while beasts always walk alone. Geniuses are always alone, aren't they?"

These words were quite able to resonate with Iron Man and Doctor Strange. But if the person speaking wasn't wearing this face, it could be said there was some truth; but if it were this damn blue-eyed guy, no matter how you listen, it sounds like a trick. Iron Man and Doctor Strange wouldn't fall for his trick.

"I just wanted to ask, what are you two doing here?" Doctor Strange said.

"Of course it's to investigate Ultron," Schiller continued, "Let's be honest, give me the data on Ultron and I'll leave. Otherwise, I can also take some specialties back, such as you two."

Doctor Strange narrowed his eyes. "So you are from over there," he said, "Why should we give you the data on Ultron? This will speed up Batman's speed in dealing with him, and what we need precisely is time."

"If you don't give it, I'll find it myself, but if any movement is made, it's none of my business. You know you can't stop me."

Iron Man and Doctor Strange looked at each other again. Obviously, this was a dilemma: giving the data to Schiller might make Batman come faster; but if not given, letting him stir up their base would make it even more impossible to confront Batman.

"You have to help us save Ant-Man," the main universe Iron Man said, "This isn't a deal, but if you want the most complete data, only he has it there. We can't use those storage devices that used Pym particles either."

Schiller frowned slightly. Now the matter returned to the starting point; he still had to find a way to save Dr. Pym. But if it was Ultron who kidnapped him, he had to deal with Ultron, and this universe's Ultron might not be so easy to deal with.

However, just for a moment, Schiller already had a plan. No matter what, this is Marvel; an electronic creature can't make any big waves.

He turned and left the office, Bruce followed behind him. Schiller had to stop his steps and turn around, pointing at the direction of Iron Man and Doctor Strange.

Bruce stared at him. Schiller pointed at that direction again. Bruce had an "Are you kidding me" expression.

"Sorry, I don't want unstable factors," Schiller said, "Go follow them."

"What unstable factor am I? And didn't you find me to help? Now you want to abandon me and run away?"

"Alright, let me change the way of saying it: I'm going to find Professor X who can see through you at a glance, and Magneto who absolutely can't be beaten no matter what cards you have. There might also be a Phoenix that will destroy the universe once it explodes, as well as Scarlet Witch who speaks and follows the law. Still want to go?"

"No, thanks. I still prefer the team atmosphere of the Avengers." Bruce ran behind Iron Man and Doctor Strange decisively.

Schiller called the Punisher out of the lounge. The Punisher nodded lightly when he saw those two people outside.

And Iron Man and Doctor Strange obviously had no time to manage him—they didn't watch for a moment, and Bruce ran directly into the armor Iron Man took off, and actually started it!

"What are you doing!" The main universe Iron Man roared first, "Get down, this thing is very dangerous! Catch him! Stephen!"

Doctor Strange hurriedly reached out wanting to use magic to control, but Bruce didn't know where he learned to operate the armor; regardless of the flight posture, whether he could use weapons, he flew especially fast, rushed toward the window, and disappeared with a "whoosh".

Doctor Strange could at least fly to chase, but Iron Man, who had no armor, was so anxious that he jumped, wanting to call the armor from Stark Tower with the controller, but once thinking that Jarvis might have a problem, he didn't dare, and could only run downstairs in a hurry.

Schiller and the Punisher got into the car again. Schiller opened the navigation and walked toward the X-Men base. Just arrived at the base, he happened to run into the Brotherhood of Mutants.

A group of people were dressed in pitch black, walking with wind, and all the cars beside them avoided, only Schiller's was an exception. It wasn't that Schiller didn't want to let, but there was no position behind, and he couldn't back out. And coincidentally, his car blocked the only way for the Brotherhood of Mutants.

The silver-haired old man wearing a helmet at the head just tilted his head slightly and looked here, and the car flew up out of thin air. In the second before it was flattened and bounced away, Schiller and the Punisher almost opened the car door and jumped out at the same time.

Schiller jumped onto the roof of the car below, and the Punisher landed on the ground beside, rolling a circle and being unharmed.

The first thing Schiller did after getting off the car wasn't to scold or raise his gun, but to stand on the roof, turn around, take off his hat, and reveal his face.

The moment he saw those gray eyes, Magneto's movements stopped.
