Chapter 3991

The matter has to start from the superheroes of the multiverse entering the central universe. Among all the superheroes, the earliest to arrive was Strange, and they were also the ones who came in the largest numbers.

It's not that they are enthusiastic, but that they have to come. Compared to other heroes of the Avengers, Strange is the easiest to contact the multiverse. Even when Battleworld was not open and all other superheroes were trapped in their own single universes, many Stranges had already observed the existence of other universes and conducted cross-universe travel.

This is determined by the nature of magic, magic's way of observing the world is closer to the origin of the universe. Therefore, when they master this ability, they will find the existence of cosmic barriers more easily than people who explore the universe in other ways, and then study to break through these barriers and explore the secrets outside the universe.

In this case, many Stranges had long considered the problem of the multiverse. They knew that communication between multiverses was inevitable, and all single universes were destined to form a society to communicate in a more stable way. Sure enough, Battleworld appeared.

Where there are people, there are fights, and the society composed of universes is also like the international society, destined to be full of deceit and turmoil. In this case, every Strange wants to influence the situation and let their own universe gain an advantage.

So they came here, not just to fight, but they believed that the vote in their hands was very important, and they must vote for the right person, so that the multiverse society could have a future.

And when they came to the central universe, the first thing they did was not combat readiness, but holding a meeting.

They decided to elect a leader at this meeting, who would lead other Stranges to participate in this war.

This process of course would not go smoothly, because most Stranges wanted to be the boss themselves, and didn't want to listen to others. Almost everyone voted for themselves, so of course it was impossible to elect any leader.

After discovering this situation, they started personal speeches, trying every means to canvass votes, wanting to persuade others to choose themselves. After finding that this didn't work, they started to take threatening means to form cliques, and even once evolved into a full-scale fight.

Logically speaking, the Supreme Sorcerer himself should fight to decide, but Strange of course couldn't let so many Stranges fight openly here. How could they punch themselves before the war started and let the opponent watch the joke?

There is also competition between different superheroes, and no one wants to be the one holding back. If other superheroes and their counterparts all performed well, or even cooperated tacitly, wouldn't their Strange group lose face?

So, Strange didn't participate in any election at all, he was persuading the fight the whole time, hoping they could stop this meaningless quarrel, but it was actually useless.

Still the same sentence, Stephen Strange is a very stubborn person, otherwise he wouldn't have done things like repeatedly crossing time lines to resurrect his girlfriend, leading to the collapse of the universe. Even those who didn't save their girlfriends at least participated in the action of expelling Hulk. In many things, he can't listen to others' suggestions, he has his own logic, and he is determined not to change, and won't look back even if he hits the south wall.

In the team cooperation with the Avengers, this personality is not good, but it is not fatal. Anyway, there are only a few things he is entangled in, just follow him. If the ability is strong enough, the personality can be completely inclusive, and there are many people in the Avengers who have a sense of tolerance.

However, it is not like this when counterparts get together. You are stubborn and I am stubborn, a group of stubborn people get together, when facing the same problem, everyone has the same view, and they don't give an inch, so the situation is deadlocked.

No one is willing to be the one who takes a step back, and besides, it's useless for one person to retreat, everyone has to take a step back. But obviously, there are not so many reasonable Stranges in the multiverse, so everyone is butting heads here, working passively.

However, this deadlock that is not good for anyone will fill everyone's heart with fire. Everyone is complaining about why others can't take a step back, just like gradually leaking gas, it will explode as long as it meets a little spark.

And Asgard's forward base is that spark.

The relationship between the Earth of the vast majority of universes and Asgard is not good. Before Ragnarok descended, Loki frequently invaded Earth, sometimes grabbing things, sometimes causing trouble. Even if Thor is on Earth's side, it's annoying enough.

And many universes' Asgard call Earth a wild land, and many Aesir also look down on humans with their nostrils to the sky, almost never leaving a good impression on Strange.

The behavior of abandoning the outpost originally built by humans to defect to Asgard's base is something they completely cannot understand. And when they learned that the person responsible for managing Asgard's base was Loki, they directly exploded on the spot.

Good heavens, you let the God of Mischief manage the base, are you crazy or am I crazy?

Other universes' Loki didn't do less as a guide, Chitauri, Dark Elves, Thanos were all led by him. In the comics, he led Hulk to fight Thor, and then fooled Norman Osborn to target his brother, saying he was a harmful horse, and the horse didn't want to listen. As a result, you let him manage the most important front-line base in the war? What is the difference between this and directly surrendering? Isn't this treating other people's efforts as a joke?

The Stranges, who were already full of fire due to internal fighting, collectively broke out and accused Strange one after another.

"I dare say this is the stupidest decision you've ever made, none of them!" Main universe Strange was the leader, he said, "No matter what ecstasy this universe's Loki poured into you, letting him participate in the war and take such an important position is simply a big mistake! Everyone else's efforts will be destroyed in your hands!"

"Don't I know what kind of person Loki is?" another Strange immediately echoed, "He is an evil, cunning, and shameless villain! He can do everything evil you can imagine, including selling out the interests of the world. He might surrender to Batman, or even directly open the base into a trap!"

"Yes! He will definitely do this!"

"That's right, he is like this. He can even use such cruel means to treat his own brother, can you still expect this lunatic to do anything good?!"

"He is just a natural bastard! Odin didn't choose him for a reason, because he has no responsibility and is evil by nature. Do you want such a person to lead humans to win the war?! You are really confused!"

"Enough!" Strange took a deep breath and said, "You say that the Loki of your universe is evil by nature and has no responsibility, then since the war started, what have you done? Now it is no longer the pre-war preparation stage, but it has really started, and the front line has even experienced two rounds of conflict, and you are still quarreling here. Do you have any responsibility?"

"Originally we were ready to go when the fight started, but you suddenly told us to go to Asgard's front-line base, and the person in charge is Prince Loki, so we didn't go, don't try to push the responsibility to us!" Main universe Strange said, "We simply cannot cooperate with those Asgardians who only know how to fight hard, they will only spoil things. By then, the god race will disrupt the situation on the front line, and Loki will communicate with the enemy in the rear, how can this war be fought?!"

He took a step forward and walked to Strange, staring at him and said: "You should understand the significance of this war to me. Humans and god races are ultimately different, unable to understand each other from beginning to end, and cooperation will only restrict each other. Such a combat mode simply won't work, even if Thor manages the base, there won't be any good results. If they act as a surprise force to deal with the god race on the opposite side, it's fine, but we cannot be commanded by them, that will mess everything up."

There were many things Strange wanted to explain, such as using Asgard's base, and Loki managing logistics doesn't mean handing over command to Asgard; such as the Loki and Thor of this universe are different from other universes; and such as, humans have cooperated tacitly with Asgard before, and there is no problem of restricting each other at all.

But in the end, he didn't explain anything, because he understood himself. Even if he, who lived in the central universe, had never experienced any suffering and already had everything he wanted, the stubbornness in the background of his personality hadn't changed much, so he couldn't ask other Stranges to change their minds in an instant.

In the final analysis, everyone's personality is bundled by countless dangerous moments when they can grab the straw, and those seemingly bad parts of their personality have also saved them once, or even many times, at some time and place. If they are not domesticated for a long time, these things will not be retained.

When a person develops inertial thinking, it is meaningless to blame them for being stubborn. From a psychological point of view, studying the conditions and environment for the generation of inertia is the most important, if you can't understand it, you can't dismantle it.

Taking coercive measures is even more useless, because if what you want to change with force is some characteristics they once relied on to survive, then all the resistance they carry out will become behavior patterns that are infinitely close to self-help. And under the support of the desire to survive, this behavior pattern will not only not change, but will become more intense, only making the situation worse.

Strange knew better than anyone why other selves were so extreme, sharp, and distrustful. Beating them up at this time, not to mention what impact it would have on the front-line battlefield, would only make the whole group more fragmented.

Although Strange had already learned these common sense through years of psychological assessment activities, he was just a surgeon after all, and he was also confused about how to solve it.

So, Strange had to call Schiller. At this time, Schiller had just finished resting and took two more orders, preparing to travel back and forth between the Triangulum Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy.

He still loved this job, just like delivering express, the real-time positive feedback was very in place, and because he changed his vest, most people didn't look at him like a ghost when they saw him, and would even greet him very politely, making the work easy and happy.

When receiving Strange's call, Schiller was picking up cargo boxes near the empty island of the Andromeda capital, which was knocked over by Polaris when moving things before. He had to find and organize all the cargo boxes, and then send them to the base in the Triangulum Galaxy.

"So they simply refuse to go to the base?" Schiller asked while counting the boxes, "Where are you now? In the original human outpost?... Not far from there? Then don't leave, just wait there."

Schiller changed the communicator to the other hand and said: "There is an old Chinese saying called 'things teach people once'. Let them see Batman's power, and naturally they will be fine."
