Chapter 4675: House of X: Destruction (3)

Before setting off, Shiler and the others in the "Defective Quartet" gathered for a meeting. Because time was tight, they didn't have time to go to the bottom of the World Tree to soak in the hot springs, but met directly at Arkham Asylum.

"What the hell?!" Nick said, "That bunch in the main universe actually sent a message saying they've already gone, and other universes better not follow. Who do they think they are?"

"This kind of behavior isn't just for a day or two," Strange moved his eyes away from the medical record page and sighed, "Sometimes I really envy the world next door. At least Batman wouldn't treat himself as the lord of the multiverse."

"Facts have proven that the kind of harmonious multiverse we envisioned doesn't exist at all," Loki said. "With more people, there are more things. They can argue about anything. What's more, our side doesn't have an absolute leader like Batman. The consequence of not being able to hold the field is a mess."

"Don't mention that side," Shiler said, "They haven't had an easy time lately either. Not only did a serial car accident happen in the universe, but the Source Wall was also blown a hole. The Batmen are still thinking about how to patch the wall hole."

Several people sighed in unison. This is the scripture that every family has a hard time reading. Marvel's side is that people's hearts are not united, everyone wants to fight for the leader of the multiverse, and now there is a sign of infighting. Although the DC side has a clear system, there are also many who cause trouble. The Multiverse Darkseid hasn't left yet, and the Black Hand has come again. Even Bruce, who caused such a big disaster, failed to kill the game, and the Goddess of Creation is still a strong competitor for the biggest disaster in the multiverse.

"Alright, let's talk about the situation there," Nick said. "If we go out in full force, we will definitely fight the main universe. Even if we must have a battle, we can't use someone else's universe as a battlefield, otherwise we will definitely be scolded. We have to consider the multiverse's view."

"However, if only Shiler and Tony go, I'm afraid they will be outnumbered, and the main universe has already regarded the universe seeking help as their own plate of food. We will definitely be targeted if we go over. So I plan, besides helping the disaster-stricken universe, to also find a way to deal with the main universe."

"What do you plan to do?" Loki asked.

"Let's split into two groups," Nick said, "Shiler and Tony go to support. The three of us find a way to make some trouble in the main universe. Once the home is on fire, that bunch in the main universe will be too busy to handle it."

"That's a way," Loki's eyes turned and said, "But we must be careful enough, and absolutely cannot be discovered. Because the main universe is indeed very special, harming the main universe is likely to be seen as an invasion of the multiverse. We can't make our universe hated by everyone."

"Where to start?" Strange touched his chin and said, "Do they have any flaws?"

"Their biggest flaw is the Avengers, but unfortunately, the Avengers have assembled and set out," Shiler sighed, "We can only go there and see."

Nick nodded and said: "Indeed, even if there were flaws before, the situation might have changed now, so we can only take it one step at a time."

"But do you really intend for just the two of you to go?" Nick asked again, "You go to engage in politics, he goes to engage in technology. But if there is only one person in each aspect, you will definitely not be able to argue with others. Especially Tony, what if the main universe Iron Man says 'No one understands Orchis better than me'?"

"You don't say, there really is this possibility," Loki laughed and said, "Although I haven't dealt with him many times, he is indeed a bit..."

This stage of Iron Man is indeed a bit arrogant, Shiler knew. The Iron Man in the comics is stronger and tougher than the one in the movie, with a stronger merchant temperament, less sensitivity, and more cunning.

After the multiverse curtain opened, it gave him a huge stage. Even in the situation where the main universe didn't perform well in the multiverse war, he could still win people's hearts and gain a batch of supporters, which shows he is not easy to deal with.

Others are about the same. Everyone in the Avengers in the comics is tougher and smarter, and their desire for control is also stronger. Or rather, the leader figures shaped by American comics, such as Batman and Captain America, all have the same characteristics. Basically, they are the "ideal leader" image in Western culture: tough, eloquent, shrewd, and practicing universal values and interventionism.

"It doesn't matter," Shiler said, "I already have some ideas about that universe. You don't need to worry about this. You just need to deal with the main universe."

They had another discussion. Besides researching how to support and make trouble for the main universe, they also had to arrange their own universe's affairs. Because if it didn't work out, the main universe might also have this idea.

Before, there was a tendency in multiverse public opinion to push the central universe out to fight the main universe. The main universe was also eager to try, but the central universe had been using cold violence and not replying, which had strategic determination, so they hadn't fought yet. But many universes believed that these two universes must have a battle.

Of course, this battle doesn't mean who invades whom, but a competition in the process of fighting for the leader position. Many universes have even started to consider joining which side.

It can only be said that the underlying logic of Marvel is "Great War Airport," and everyone's brains are turning towards the direction of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

The statement issued by the main universe that other universes are not allowed to intervene was clearly aimed at the central universe. Then it's not guaranteed that they will also want to make some trouble for the central universe's rear, so that they have no time to support. Now it depends on who defends better and attacks faster.

Shiler weighed it and felt that they still had an advantage. He said that he didn't create so many major events in vain, and the central universe is called experienced. Except for Shiler, no mess can make them panic.

However, Shiler still thought carefully about what aspects the main universe might start from. Invading Earth is unlikely. On the one hand, the villains here have been cleaned up, and on the other hand, the Avengers still have moral bottom lines, and they wouldn't go to destroy the Earth. Just like the central universe wouldn't go to destroy the main universe's Earth.

They mostly just make some trouble, and then throw the pot to the local superheroes, letting them be trapped by public opinion, trying to prove themselves, and naturally they have no time to manage multiverse affairs.

Who will they start from? Shiler was thinking about this question when he suddenly received a call from the administrative office of the Presbyterian Hospital.

"Hello? It's me. Okay, I'll go over there immediately..."

Shiler couldn't take the public shuttle, so he could only hire an expensive single-person shuttle to the Presbyterian Hospital, because he had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, when he arrived, Strange had already arrived.

"We received a report from a patient," the doctor in charge of administration pushed his glasses and said, "Someone reported that the neurosurgeon Shi Difen Strange has been leaking a large number of medical records of the Presbyterian Hospital to private nursing homes for a long time, and receiving kickbacks by privately recommending nursing institutions..."

"Hiss..." Shiler sucked in a breath. Good for you, main universe, you don't go to tamper with cosmic engineering, don't provoke alien species to attack humans, you are here to purify the medical system!

"There is no such thing," Shiler denied it flatly.

"But in our investigation, you and Dr. Strange have a good private relationship, and our hospital has indeed had patients go to your nursing home for nursing..."

"This is not evidence," Shiler said, "We are good friends because we are old classmates and both served in S. H. I. E. L. D. As for patients going to my nursing home for nursing, this is just a coincidence and cannot explain that someone introduced them privately."

"Then what about leaking medical records?"

"There is no such thing," Shiler denied again, "Strange did complain to me that he couldn't finish writing medical records and asked me if there was any faster way to complete them. I did suggest he find someone to write them on his behalf, but he should have found the interns under him or something, it has nothing to do with me."

While Shiler was talking, he wanted to send a message to Jarvis, asking him to enter his computer and delete the unfinished medical records. But Jarvis happened not to be in this universe.

"I warn you," Shiler could only threaten like this, "Without a search warrant, you cannot enter the nursing home to investigate. If I find you investigating in violation of regulations, you can wait to eat a lawsuit."

"Rest assured, Doctor. In fact, our hospital is also more inclined to believe that you are innocent. I asked you to come over today just to confirm with you in person. If you have evidence to prove that this is not the case, then perhaps you should prepare early."

Shiler naturally understood his subtext. The reporter couldn't just report to the hospital; the media probably received the report earlier than the hospital. The news draft is probably already written.

Very good. The main universe really successfully chose a tricky angle and grasped Strange's only flaw. Shiler was already gnashing his teeth in his heart. You say, if he wrote the medical records well, could there be this mess? He had to ask someone to write them on his behalf, and now there's a problem!

But the problem is, how did the main universe know he was writing medical records on his behalf? Thinking of this, Shiler was suddenly a bit guilty, because he had brought handwritten medical records to Battleworld to write several times. And main universe Iron Man can enter the design department. Could it be that he saw it?!

Shiler sighed and asked the doctor: "Where is Shi Difen now?"

"He is performing surgery. You know, he is always performing surgery."

Shiler had to wait at the door of the operating room for him. Not long after, Strange came out. Shiler followed behind him and said: "Our business has been exposed!"

Strange, who hadn't even taken off his surgical gown, paused: "Which one are you referring to? You using a ballpoint pen to top my forehead, or the two of us kneeling three times in a row?"

"What does this matter," Shiler said helplessly, "The matter of me writing medical records on your behalf has been discovered!"

"This is what doesn't matter. There isn't a surgeon on this floor who writes their own medical records. What are you afraid of?"

"But he reported that you leaked medical records and received kickbacks by introducing patients to me. This kind of medical ethics problem will make you banned from the industry, and you won't be able to be a doctor."

"Then I'll wear the Sorcerer Supreme's uniform and fly in to perform surgery." Strange rolled his eyes.

Then Strange stopped and turned to look at Shiler: "Although you guys joke about the title 'Hand of God' every day, you clearly don't realize what status a person who can get this title has in the industry. Ban me? Heh."

"This might be a conspiracy of the main universe," Shiler said, "They want to prevent us from supporting other universes by causing us trouble."

"Oh, I understand," Strange spread his hands and looked up, "This looks like a stupid idea from the 'God without hands' in the main universe."

"You really aren't afraid at all?"

"How many years have we known each other?" Strange asked, "I mean, since you used a ballpoint pen to top my forehead..."

"Can you stop mentioning this?" Shiler said very helplessly, "It's been more than ten years, what's the matter?"

"Yeah, I was already the Hand of God more than ten years ago," Strange looked at him, "Do you think I haven't done anything in these ten years?"

"What did you do?"

Strange turned around, stretched out his hand, and pointed a circle from right to left: "Those are all my students."

"All operating rooms?"

"The whole New York."

He turned back to look at Shiler and showed him an arrogant smile: "Now, answer me, who do you expect to judge me?" ===== CHAPTER 4676 =====
