Chapter 4710: House of X: Fierce Battle (18)

"What?!" The main universe Iron Man was very shocked. He stared at Strange in disbelief and said: "Didn't you see I was injured?"

"Do you think that as long as you act pitiful and sell your misery, everything you did before can be treated as if it never happened? I must once again be magnanimous and forgive you, follow behind you like a pug, and be ready to be replaced by others by you at any time?"

The main universe Iron Man's lips moved, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't mean that. Shi Difen, how can you think of me like that?"

The main universe Iron Man still couldn't believe it, and said in that slightly shocked tone: "I thought you would know that I was just too anxious and spoke without thinking. I went to find you just because I felt I shouldn't force you; I just wanted to make amends."

"How many times have I forgiven you like this? What about the others?" Strange hit the nail on the head.

The main universe Iron Man seemed unable to say anything. His lips became even paler, but not because of excessive blood loss; he almost fell back into the sofa powerlessly, sitting there silently.

"Hey." Captain America still stood out, "Shi Difen, don't say that about him. He was indeed just worried about you, and so were we."

Strange looked at him with eyes as sharp as a hawk's: "How much of the current miserable situation is caused by your indulgence of him, you know in your heart."

Captain America gripped the door frame tightly and said somewhat angrily: "The situation becoming like this is not the responsibility of any one person."

"It's good that you know you are all idiots."

Everyone was stunned, including Spider-Man who was hanging down from the rafters; he was so shocked he couldn't speak. Hawkeye also said incredulously: "Don't you include yourself among us?"

"Stupidity is also divided into time-limited and permanent," Strange was fearless. "Since the beginning of the multiverse war, we have all been overly lost in the struggle for power in the multiverse, to the point where we could actually do the stupid thing of trying to shoot down a fighter jet with a plastic fork."

The main universe Iron Man stared, Strange immediately discovered it and glared back, then said: "Oh, how could I forget, you are the hardest handle on the plastic fork, and you're the one relied on for rolling noodles!"

"STRANGE!!!" Dr. Banner said very dissatisfied, "What are you doing? Do you have to fight internally at this critical moment? Remember the Avengers' creed?!"

"If Earth is going to be destroyed, then we will avenge it. Now, tell me, why will Earth be destroyed?"

Before anyone else could answer, Strange answered himself: "Because of you. Because of your ignorance and arrogance, forcing the mutants to perish with the Orchis factory, giving outsiders an opportunity. Why haven't I seen you slap yourselves a few more times to avenge those who were killed by your own hands?"

"Shi Difen, when we came here, you also agreed," Captain America pointed out. "Even you were the very active one; it was you and Tony who formulated the entire plan. I am not shirking responsibility, just reminding you that you have no standing to accuse us like this."

"I have the standing to accuse any traitor to humanity." Strange's gaze turned completely cold. The others' expressions also became very unkind, and Spider-Man stood out wanting to act as a peacemaker.

"Don't be like this, Dr. Strange. Now that things have come to this, what we should do is unite to find a solution, not blame and shirk responsibility. We are all injured, let's rest for a while, okay?"

"See? This is the main reason why things have become what they are today," Strange was merciless. He looked at Spider-Man and said, "Always talking about feelings when it's time to talk about interests and gains, using so-called team friendship to cover up mistakes, turning the Avengers into an 8-year-old children's family-friendly movie, licking each other's wounds like a group of injured stray dogs, and never finding the black sheep, is the fundamental reason why superheroes have fallen to this point."

"Enough!" The main universe Iron Man stood up; he didn't even care about his wound, and it was possible that pain and sadness forced out his tears. He looked at Strange with red-rimmed eyes and said: "I know who you are talking about, Shi Difen. I didn't expect you to think I am a coward who doesn't dare to take responsibility. What have I done to make you have such thoughts?!"

"Tony!" Hawkeye shouted, he strode out and stood in front of the main universe Iron Man, then said, "No matter what, you shouldn't force him like this. Shi Difen, I understand you have resentment in your heart, you say we always solve problems with emotions, but aren't you also emotionally accusing us?"

"I'm emotional?" Strange sneered, "It seems you have never seen an emotional Sorcerer Supreme."

Instantly, a magic energy storm swept across the entire Krakoa island. The suppression of all abilities on this magical island didn't have much effect, and everyone clearly felt the undisguised violent threat in this powerful energy.

"Stop!" Professor X arrived almost in a flash. He had put on the fourth-generation brainwave amplifier again, and his attitude could not be called friendly, and he couldn't even maintain the most basic politeness; it could be called furious, "Shi Difen Strange, this is not a place for you to run wild!"

"Heh." When Strange's eyes, which were obscured by pale magic power, stared at Professor X, it made him feel flustered for no reason. But he didn't dare to read the other party's brainwaves rashly; this was no different from declaring war.

"I forgot about you all." Strange stared at him, "'Never abandon any mutant'? Isn't shouting this slogan a guilty conscience?"

Professor X's expression changed, and he didn't hold back either. But just as his brainwaves spread, his hand tightened suddenly.

Professor X took a few steps back, staring coldly at the person in front of him, his eyes full of vigilance and dread, but he didn't say anything more in the end, just warned: "You'd better not go crazy here."

"This is the Avengers' family business," Strange said. "Mutants have no right to interfere either. Leave here!"

"This is a mutant nation!" Professor X gritted his teeth and said, "You have no right to ask me to leave here!"

"This is Earth," Strange's tone became colder and colder, "I am Earth's Sorcerer Supreme. If you are not a member of Earth, I won't just use words to make you leave here."

Professor X still wanted to say something, but Strange scanned the circle and said: "What kind of danger Earth is facing, you know better than me. Is there any one of you who can stand up and say that you have no responsibility for this?"

"Then can you?!" Captain America was already severe.

Professor X's mouth moved, seemingly wanting to say something, but Strange didn't give him a chance to speak. He looked at Captain America without any avoidance, and said in a firm tone: "Not only can I not, I also want to say that I am the one with the greatest responsibility. Because you all have your own positions, and I have always been Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, the life and death of humanity are tied to me, and I have always been duty-bound. Now that the alien army is besieging Earth, I am the most derelict."

"And the reason I can stand here and accuse you is because I am willing to stand up and take this responsibility, and I will leave immediately—what about you?"

After speaking, Strange didn't stop at all, waved his hand to open the Sling Ring portal, flicked his cloak, and disappeared into the room.

Everyone was like they had lost their strength, and some couldn't even stand. During the time Strange was speaking, the magic energy in the room was so thick it seemed to be overflowing, even those who had no fate with magic could feel that rich energy, not to mention the keen senses of everyone present; they felt they had sunk into an ocean of magic and were about to drown.

"What's going on?" Black Widow cursed while holding the door frame, "What's wrong with Shi Difen? Why did he suddenly become so..."

Everyone was speechless, because they couldn't find a word to describe Doctor Strange's change, tough? Extreme? Vicious?

These words might be able to describe a part, but not all. Because everyone present understood that Doctor Strange might be too straightforward, but what he said was right.

From the moment they came to this universe, the whole thing was like a disaster, the reins were never in their hands from the beginning, so it should have been expected that this out-of-control horse would drag everyone into the quagmire.

The ambition of being overly immersed in the power struggle of the multiverse, the arrogance of lacking a correct understanding of their own strength, and the evil consequences brought by the inertia of interventionism were almost tasted by them, and walking to this step could be called thankless.

The battle just now, everyone was injured, but it didn't delay the army's pace. Getting to this point, even if they won, it was too miserable, and it didn't do any good for their reputation, which meant they lost people and time, and in the end, they might still be scolded, which was losing the wife and the army.

After a long silence, the main universe Iron Man suddenly stood up, Hawkeye hurriedly reached out to pull him, and said: "Shi Difen should have already left, left Earth, I'm afraid you won't be able to find him. You are not suitable to go to the front line in this state, don't be impulsive, Tony."

Spider-Man hurriedly echoed, he jumped down and blocked in front of Iron Man, and said: "Now is not the time to be a hero, sir. Let's resupply first, and then..."

"Resupply? Fix the shield, refill the bullets, and you can beat the Shi'ar Empire's army?" The main universe Iron Man looked back at them and asked.

Everyone was silent, because they knew the answer was no. That group of alien invaders was strange, although they weren't opponents because of the hasty contact before, but now everyone was injured, even if the resupply was complete, it was still a drop in the bucket.

They weren't unwilling to say it, just worried about stimulating the main universe Iron Man again. After all, he had almost broken with Doctor Strange just now, and they all knew how good their relationship was. Now facing such great pressure, everyone was worried that Stark couldn't hold on.

"There will always be a way," Banner said, "I will try to release all of Hulk's power, as long as I can enter the sun's core, I can destroy the portal with one blow."

Everyone's expression changed, this didn't sound like a good way, because getting in didn't mean getting out. Dr. Banner seemed to have prepared to sacrifice, this wasn't Battleworld, and there was no way to resurrect after death.

"I will prove to Shi Difen that I am not the kind of irresponsible coward he imagined," the main universe Iron Man suddenly said.

He pursed his lips, paused and then continued: "Now, there is only one way to save Earth."

"What?"

"Ask the central universe for help." ===== CHAPTER 4711 =====
