Chapter 4711

Everyone showed an expression of "unexpected, but reasonable." The background color of all Iron Men in this world was emotional. In the end, like such big tycoons, if they weren't truly compassionate and highly responsible, why would they be superheroes? Batman was like this, and Iron Man was like this too.

"Tony," Captain America called out to him, walked to his side, and then said, "We'll go with you?"

The main universe Iron Man shook his head and said: "No, these things can only be done by me. Just as you said, coming here was my suggestion; I must be responsible for the current situation."

"Although I am indeed not reconciled to the fact that our universe's technological development is not as good as the central universe's, I don't want them to get involved. It's not entirely my self-esteem blocking it. That universe is too wrong; it's like a super engine that can't stop, which will add too many variables to the multiverse. My instinct makes me reject dealing with them. I'm not sure if this is right, but you know, my inspiration has never been wrong."

This was the first time the main universe Iron Man had explained these things to them, but perhaps the others had long had a premonition. They couldn't care about resting and regrouping, and set off in a hurry. The anxiety that forced them came largely from what they had seen and heard in the central universe. It wasn't that it wasn't good there, but if some things were too unique, there must be a reason. God's gifts had long been marked with a price in the dark.

"You have to be careful," Black Widow said, "That Schiller is famous; I'm afraid it's not just because of what he did in Battleworld that he gained such a reputation. Perhaps we are the only ones who didn't do anything wrong in opposing them."

Although this sounded a bit stubborn, no one spoke to refute it, not even Spider-Man. Although the main universe Spider-Man also didn't like this multiverse aid plan, he couldn't deny that Schiller was indeed dangerous. He even suspected that the current critical situation was Schiller's own creation.

Although the main universe Iron Man was going to seek help, he wouldn't be servile. Or rather, it was precisely because he was sure that the central universe's Iron Man would help him that he went. Because he had a guess in his heart.

"Where is your companion?" the main universe Iron Man asked.

"You mean Schiller?" Stark turned around, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Should be resting in the room."

"In the room?" The main universe Iron Man shook his head and said, "I don't want to pursue where he went. I just want to ask, are you aware of the Shi'ar Empire invasion plan?"

"Why would I be aware?" Stark asked, "I am neither a member of the Shi'ar Empire nor have I ever participated in the construction of the Red Moon factory. How could you think that?"

"Since you are unaware, you can't fail to see the problems here. The arrival of the Shi'ar Empire army is too weird. Later, the operations against us also showed an unparalleled understanding of the Avengers.

"Do you think it's fresh news that there's a mole on Earth?"

"Stop trying to change the subject," the main universe Iron Man looked at him and said, "What kind of mole could do these things, you know better than I do. The local universe's Iron Man can contact the Shi'ar Empire's Imperial Guard; something must have happened there by now, right?"

Stark paused. He looked at the main universe Iron Man and then said: "What do you want?"

"I can probably guess that he introduced external enemies with such fanfare and hit the Avengers so hard just to force us to seek help from you..."

"You don't know him well enough," Stark said, "If it really was him, it's more likely he hopes you will unite. I mean you and the local Avengers and the Earth government, and it has nothing to do with the central universe."

"Is that so?" The main universe Iron Man squinted his eyes.

"You still haven't figured one thing out: the central universe is the antonym of interventionism. Simply put, we didn't come to help the mutants; we came to stop you from interfering."

"But we only interfered to gain enough power to compete with you," the main universe Iron Man pointed out, "We have no way to count on everyone in such a leading universe to be a good person. What if you want to start multiverse colonization? What if your universe goes out of control? We must have enough powerful strength to check and balance, right?"

"Pardon my bluntness, but you are still using Cold War thinking," Stark didn't show weakness, "You view all powerful things as bombs that will explode at any time, so you take the attitude of dealing with dangerous weapons to resist and suppress, without ever imagining communication and cooperation."

"Aren't you? Then how do you explain the Shi'ar Empire army?"

"We are naturally different from you. We take mandatory measures to let everyone sit at the table and talk, promoting peace with force, rather than exchanging deterrence for stronger deterrence. And you are planning to do just that. Do you dare to say that after you have acquired enough power, you won't lead your followers to resist us and split the entire multiverse into two poles again?"

The main universe Iron Man sighed and said: "From the perspective of me and many universes that support me, we are just seeking power for self-preservation. Faced with the threat of the Soviet Union back then, the United States thought the same way."

"And you should also be very clear that there are no winners in the Cold War, only survivors," Stark walked up to him and looked into his eyes through the faceplate, saying, "Everything we have done in this universe is just to tell you that compared to winning the Cold War, we are fully capable of preventing the Cold War from the beginning. If we are the Soviet Union, you had better also consider whether you can be called the United States in its golden age."

The main universe Iron Man stopped talking. He naturally knew he couldn't be called that. Let alone the United States, they were equivalent to the level of the Third World back then, just with the name of the main universe, appearing relatively special, but in reality, they were empty shells, and their strength was far inferior.

"So, Schiller still wanted us to choose cooperation," the main universe Iron Man said, "He succeeded."

"I'll say it again, judging by his personality, he might really just be solving the problems of this universe."

"Why are you so sure?" The main universe Iron Man felt somewhat helpless. His expression was "What exactly blinded your eyes?"

"Because you haven't seen him running at full speed," Stark sneered, "If it were to leave the multiverse with no choice, the Shi'ar Empire army wouldn't be the only thing appearing in the solar system portal today. Thank us; this broken engine has been repaired a little, at least it's not creaking like that anymore."

The main universe Iron Man seemed to be shocked. He had just participated in the battle near the Sun; he knew how strong the Shi'ar Empire army was. Even if someone was playing tricks behind the scenes, without hard power, those tactics against the Avengers couldn't be realized. If this wasn't strong enough, what did Schiller want to use to make the multiverse submit?

The main universe Iron Man just wanted to speak, but Stark said: "You want to say that if such a dangerous person exists, then your deterrence tactics aren't completely unreasonable. But the fact is, if he were a person, or an organization, you could indeed do that. But Schiller is not."

"Then what is he?" The main universe Iron Man felt puzzled.

"You can understand him as some kind of cosmic operating rule," Stark picked up the coffee cup next to him and took a sip, revealing a look of recollection, then looked at the main universe Iron Man again and said, "Before you can come into contact with the true cosmic truth, deterrence is just a facade."

The main universe Iron Man stared at him blankly. But soon he asked again: "But you said you changed him, relying on cosmic truth?"

Stark shook his head: "How do Avengers change each other? How did you change your friend, and how did he change you? Does it rely on the technology you use to build mechs?"

After speaking, Stark patted the main universe Iron Man on the shoulder and left with the coffee cup. The main universe Iron Man stood in place for a long time.

"Wrong, all wrong," the main universe Iron Man walked into the living room, and everyone turned to look at him. Hearing what he said, everyone became nervous.

"What?" Captain America stood up and looked at him, saying, "Are you okay, Tony? What did he do to you? Did he scold you?"

The main universe Iron Man stood still in the room, scanned the circle, looked at them and said: "We got one thing wrong, dead wrong."

"What?" Banner asked with a frown. Hawkeye also felt it was very strange; to be able to make the main universe Iron Man admit his mistake with such an attitude, this probably wasn't an ordinary mistake.

"Why are we guarding against the central universe?" The main universe Iron Man asked.

"Because they are very strong," Black Widow sighed and said, "They might compete with us for the leadership of the Multiverse Human Alliance, or even replace the position of the main universe. Of course, that's what we said when we had meetings, but privately I think this universe is too dangerous."

"Dangerous where?"

"Because they are different from all universes," Dr. Banner said. He wasn't an interventionist either, and the reason he appeared here following the Avengers wasn't because he really wanted to interfere in the internal affairs of a certain universe. He just partially agreed with the view that the main universe should acquire greater power to fulfill their responsibilities, and this responsibility included guarding against disasters brought by some universes that might go out of control. And universes that might go out of control naturally included the central universe.

"This is exactly where we got it wrong," the main universe Iron Man said.

"You want to say all universes are the same," Captain America continued, "Of course I don't deny that people are all the same, but... are the forms of expression too different?"

"Our logic is like this," the main universe Iron Man said, "The central universe is very strong and very dangerous, which gives us a kind of survival anxiety. And the main source of this sense of crisis is that they are too different. It can be said that whether it's the level of cosmic development or every counterpart, it's different from most universes."

Everyone nodded. Their behavior came from their sense of crisis, and their sense of crisis came from the central universe being too different and too strong. Anything strange and powerful in this world is very easy to trigger human survival anxiety.

"What do you think they are different because of?" The main universe Iron Man asked again.

Everyone thought about it, but no one could give an answer, including Spider-Man, who knew the central universe best. Although he often traveled back and forth, the main universe had been reset after all, and he didn't understand what had happened in the past ten years, not even clearly.

But they also knew that so many multiverse situations were about the same, and only the central universe was special; there must be a reason. The main universe Spider-Man thought about it and said: "Schiller?"

Everyone looked at him, and the main universe Spider-Man explained: "I have rarely seen Dr. Schiller in other universes, including our own. The central universe seems to be his home. If there is anything different, it's probably him."

"It is indeed him, but that's not what I want to say," the main universe Iron Man said, "What I want to say is that we got one thing wrong—the central universe and us are not different at all."
