This made the others frown, which could simply be called lying with eyes open. Captain America pursed his lips and then said: "Tony, I know you are actually unwilling to admit defeat. But we are indeed..."

The main universe Iron Man closed his eyes and shook his head. He said: "Superheroes' different lives, advanced technological levels, that strange doctor, are all just differences in surface forms. Before, we could only see these."

Hawkeye seemed to have a premonition. He said: "We haven't had much contact with them, and we aren't familiar with them, so we can only see the surface forms."

"Yes. But after dealing with the central universe's Iron Man, I realized that compared to our similarities, these differences in surface forms are insignificant."

This statement did indeed appear somewhat arrogant and conceited; after all, the gap in the so-called insignificant surface forms was huge. However, they also believed that Iron Man wouldn't say such contradictory things, so they just listened quietly.

"The similarity is that we changed each other with love, and then transformed the whole world together," the main universe Iron Man looked at them and said, "In this point, almost all universes' Avengers are the same. The central universe is no exception."

"Then why do they appear especially different? Could it be that their love is especially abundant?" Black Widow felt this argument couldn't stand.

"Because they changed Schiller, and Schiller also changed them," the main universe Iron Man said, "Schiller is indeed a key factor; his difference created the difference of the central universe. But his difference from all of us is not important; what's important is his similarity to all of us—he is someone who can be changed by the love of his friends."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. The main universe Iron Man continued to explain: "If a certain universe appears with a super genius, whatever his name is, what will determine what he transforms this universe into?"

"Perhaps it really depends on how strong his ability is. The stronger the ability, the more thorough the transformation of the universe, and the better the universe develops. But in the final analysis, it depends on what aspect he uses his talent for. Could it be that the ability used to shape the universe can't be used to destroy the universe?"

"Schiller is the same. How his ability is presented and how strong it is is not the fundamental reason why the central universe presents its current appearance. The fundamental reason is that he has a group of friends who changed him and made him want to transform the universe for the better. If not for this, how do you know the central universe wouldn't be like some universes on the verge of collapse, completely out of control?"

"I understand," Captain America said in a deep voice, "No matter what stage of life, people can be educated and changed. It's just that what influences us when we are young is family and teachers, and when we grow up, it's friends. What a person will use his talent for, justice or evil, depends on what kind of influence he has received."

"It's better to say that the fact that he will be influenced by friends is itself one of his similarities with us," Black Widow said, "Because we are the same. The Avengers team changed us a lot, and the feelings between us deepened our influence on each other, which allowed us to eventually become a superhero team, not some supervillain gang. People who can be changed by love are more likely to walk on the bright path."

"What a respectable literary lady," Hawkeye couldn't help but sigh, "This sentence should appear at the end of 'War and Peace' or 'Crime and Punishment'."

The others also thought so. Black Widow just smiled faintly, put her hand on the back of the sofa, stood up, and said: "Thank you all for still being willing to listen to an old grandmother talk."

Hawkeye pressed his thumb against his lower lip, thinking and saying: "You mean, the vigilance we had toward them before was unnecessary, and they aren't actually dangerous?"

"Of course not," the main universe Iron Man changed the subject, "Schiller and the entire central universe are very dangerous. But, precisely because they are the same as us, influenced and changed by their own friends, we shouldn't treat them with an attitude of resistance and suppression."

"Wait," the main universe Spider-Man suddenly said, "So, you just realized they are also human?"

"This is very difficult, Peter," Dr. Banner said mockingly, "It can simply be called a major breakthrough. Because interventionists, when facing new people or new things, will usually treat them as weapons and beasts. Either manufacture equivalent weapons to deter, or shoot to kill or drive away. To make them realize their opponents are human beings with feelings and ideals like them is very difficult."

"Sounds a bit like..." The main universe Spider-Man didn't say anything, just looked at the stars and stripes uniform on Captain America. Captain America threatened him with his eyes, but didn't speak to refute. Spider-Man understood that the threat was just to remind him not to confuse him with the U. S. government.

But this low-pressure threat was ineffective against Black Widow. She let out a sneer, and Captain America immediately turned to look at her, asking: "What are you laughing at?"

Her implication was clearly "And how much better are you?" But who knew Black Widow wouldn't show weakness, sat on the other side, crossed her legs, rested her elbows on the armrests, and rested her head on her fingers, saying: "The fall of the Soviet Union started when they stopped treating other countries as comrades and started treating them as weapons and votes."

Since she had said that, Captain America really had nothing to say. Because the Soviet Union that did this had already paid the price it deserved, while this leader among them was still alive and well, not only as shameless as ever, but even worse. This made him unable to mention it as calmly as Black Widow.

"Let's talk about business," Lei Shen wasn't interested in human politics, so he hadn't spoken, and at this moment pulled the topic back, saying, "How did your seeking help from the central universe go?"

The main universe Iron Man shook his head and said: "No need to seek help."

"You have another way?"

He shook his head again and answered: "I am sure that this invasion is inseparable from Schiller, so the people in the central universe will never let Schiller's action this time really destroy Earth. We don't need to seek help, they will solve the trouble."

"I'm serious," Dr. Banner couldn't bear it anymore, "Is Earth a condom for you lunatics?"

"Oh, God!"

"Don't say that!"

"There are children here!"

"Bruce!"

Everyone turned their heads away, wanting to pretend they hadn't heard anything, but setting aside Hulk, Dr. Banner wasn't the kind of person with a very good temper either. He said: "I have never agreed with Doctor Strange as much as I do today. No matter how many more rounds you lunatics want to have, I just want to fulfill my responsibility, and I'm going now."

After speaking, he left. However, he was also the one who was least injured among them; his main body wasn't injured at all, and Hulk was basically fine, so no one stopped him.

Spider-Man scratched his head and said: "I have to go confirm this with the central universe's Iron Man personally. After all, Earth's defense shouldn't be as safe as safety measures."

Before the others could throw anything at him, he whooshed and disappeared. The few people in the room sighed.

"What is this now?" Lei Shen put his hammer on the coffee table, spread his hands and said, "We have become abnormal and irresponsible cowards instead?"

No one dared to take his words. Because Lei Shen had been hit in the chest by the main cannon before, and the wound on his chest was still emitting a rich bloody smell.

"Being responsible for Earth's safety is not the problem I need to solve urgently right now," the main universe Iron Man said, "I have to go find Shi Difen. If we drag it until tomorrow, the two of us will be completely finished."

Captain America waved for him to go, although these two often colluded, singing in harmony, and using their interventionist creed to influence team decisions, but a breakup was even more unacceptable.

Captain America also understood Doctor Strange very well. If someone offended and angered him, he would maintain calmness as much as possible while maintaining his status, but he might also hold a grudge privately. So it was better to make amends quickly; if it was too late, they might really break up.

Lei Shen went back to rest because he was more seriously injured. Hawkeye went to replenish equipment. Only the two empty-nesters, Captain America and Black Widow, remained. Captain America went to make two sandwiches.

"Shi Difen is really angry this time," Black Widow said, "I have never heard him say such heavy words to Tony."

"He hasn't to us either," Captain America handed her a sandwich, took a bite himself, chewed, and said, "Tony really pissed him off. But he deserves it. Shi Difen's hand has always been his taboo..."

"I thought he had let go," Black Widow paused and then continued, "But thinking about it, it's not that easy to let go, is it?"

"Fortunately, the surgery was successful," Captain America said, "I think this might give him some confidence; as long as Tony can coax him back, then maybe he can really be a surgeon again."

"Then it's over," Black Widow smiled and said, "We'll have to go fish him out of the quagmire of New York's upper-class social vanity fair again."

Captain America also laughed with his cheeks bulging.

Doctor Strange stood on the very top of the dome building of the Chandilar Palace. The wind made his cloak flutter. He stared at his hand in a daze, so he didn't notice until Schiller stood behind him.

He turned his head and subconsciously took out the Eye of Agamotto. Seeing it was Schiller, he sighed and said helplessly: "Why on earth did you dress up as Mephisto?"

"Of course, it's because you all have some misunderstandings about Schiller."

"It doesn't seem like a misunderstanding now," Doctor Strange snorted coldly and said, "Who could have imagined that you would lead the armies of the Three Empires to invade the solar system."

"You are also an accomplice," Schiller reminded him, "You just killed the Emperor of the Shi'ar Empire."

Doctor Strange looked away into the distance and said: "I must have been muddled to have agreed to help you."

"I usually call this fate," Schiller said, "Of course, I'm not talking about you and me, but about me and Shi Difen Strange from our universe. People like us are always attracted to each other, and we don't have much reason when we are together."

"Do you think Tony will recognize that it's not me?"

"Of course," Schiller said, "The two of you are really too different. Not recognizing it would mean being blind."

"In your universe, what is the relationship between the two of them?"

"Not better than the two of you," Schiller shook his head and said, "Arguing and comparing every day about technology or magic."

"How could that be?" Doctor Strange was somewhat puzzled, "How could these external things affect the relationship between the two of them?"

"Then is it supposed to be me filling out medical records or me changing light bulbs that affected their relationship?" Schiller rolled his eyes and said.

Schiller paused and continued: "If I have to say, it's probably because both of them are too successful, to the point where they can't stand each other's temper."
