American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 689 Contradictions and Kinship

"I'm fed up with people paying the price for our mistakes!"

Inside Stark Tower, the atmosphere was tense as the Avengers members, who had failed to intercept Ultron, returned.

Captain America, in particular, is still resentful about the incident where he accidentally injured civilians on the street.

All of this can be attributed to Tony, who was the first to propose developing a super intelligent robot.

"Calm down, Captain. It's not entirely Tony's fault, he didn't want it to be like this either..." Dr. Banner couldn't stand Captain America's behavior and spoke up for Tony.

Just as Banner said, the Avengers members who were hastily assembled had already become somewhat lax in their efforts to eliminate Hydra in Serbia due to the constant travel.

That's how Tony came up with the idea of ​​developing a super intelligent robot.

Previously, everyone had tacitly approved of his behavior.

Now that problems have arisen, it's unreasonable to place all the blame on Tony.

"I haven't even mentioned you yet, Banner. You were also involved in Ultron's creation, and you're responsible for the casualties caused by it." Captain America, who was in a sullen mood, suddenly turned his attention to Dr. Banner.

As a physics and biology PhD whose IQ is no less than Tony's, Banner did indeed contribute a great deal when Tony created the super-intelligent robot.

The initial intention was good, but in Captain America's words, it was all wrong.

It's a bit like hindsight.

In fact, after the previous alien war, Dr. Banner realized that he could not control his Hulk powers.

Thus, he has been living in self-imposed exile, afraid of causing trouble for others.

I came back this time because I was summoned by the Avengers.

As a result, it seems that good intentions led to bad outcomes.

Faced with Captain America's accusations, he eventually fell silent, seemingly speechless.

"Tony, you created Ultron. Now that this has happened, how exactly are you going to handle it?" A super-intelligent robot with independent thinking will only cause more and more disaster if it is not dealt with quickly.

Therefore, Captain America once again turned his attention to Tony, the developer.

"It will pass, everything will pass..." Tony said mechanically, looking absent-minded. "I'll find a way, there's always a way to solve it."

Previously, during the battle against Ultron's army, Scarlet Witch, who was controlled by the Mind Scepter, used chaos magic on the Avengers members individually.

He indirectly controlled the Hulk, causing him to briefly clash with other Avengers members.

At the same time, Scarlet Witch's chaos magic also allowed the Avengers members to see their own "past" and "future".

The scene Tony saw was of the Avengers fighting Thanos on Titan in the future.

The scene was horrific, with many Avengers members either dead or injured.

Clearly, in this future, the Avengers' mission to fight Thanos has failed.

"You can save us!"

This is the last thing Captain America said to Tony before he died in the illusion.

Feeling guilty, fearful, and bewildered, Tony was completely terrified by the illusions of the future and was still immersed in his own inner world.

They were thinking about how to prevent future tragedies from happening again.

That's why she seemed completely out of it when faced with Captain America's accusations.

Captain America, on the other hand, saw the "past" in his illusion—the ball he missed sixty years ago.

The past is gone, and can only remain a regret.

This is also why Captain America seemed a bit irritable and aggressive at this moment.

However, seeing Tony's distraught appearance, Captain America didn't press the issue further and silently walked to the side to sit down.

He exuded a sense of helplessness, like "what's the use of trying?"

As for Thor, who was also summoned from Norway, he saw the destruction of Asgard in a vision.

Therefore, burdened with heavy responsibilities and preoccupied with his own worries, he had no interest in paying attention to the Avengers at this time.

He remained silent and stayed to the side from the beginning, completely like an outsider.

Meanwhile, Black Widow, who also remained silent, was reliving the ordeal she suffered during her training in the "Red Room" in her previous hallucinations.

That was a painful experience she didn't want to recall.

So at this moment, she seemed to remain silent, but in reality, she was licking her wounds.

The only one whose situation on site is relatively good is probably Hawkeye.

Having been controlled by Loki using the Mind Control Wand before, he had developed some resistance to Scarlet Witch's mind magic.

Moreover, the scenes he saw in his hallucinations were mostly pictures of him living happily with his family.

Although in his visions this beautiful scene was destroyed by war, Hawkeye was not discouraged.

It's simply a matter of ability determining status.

Having had little presence within the Avengers organization, he was eager to reignite the fighting spirit of the Avengers members, but unfortunately, he lacked Captain America's charisma and the latter's ability to rally them.

It is truly a case of having the will but lacking the ability.

As the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense, the Avengers members fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts. The Avengers organization seemed on the verge of collapse.

Just then, Mike came looking for him.

"Guardian, are you here to help us?" Hawkeye was the first to notice the newcomer.

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Although he didn't have much contact with Mike, Mike's formidable strength was undeniable.

Perhaps this could be the key to saving the Avengers.

The other Avengers members also snapped out of their reverie upon seeing Mike.

It can be said that Mike's arrival was timely, like a stabilizing force, injecting new strength into everyone.

“Mike, you must have heard about what happened. I need your help.” Tony felt the pressure on him ease considerably, and hope returned to his eyes.

On the other side, Black Widow emotionally stepped forward and hugged Mike.

This feeling of embracing happiness made her feel at ease.

"Don't worry, everyone. Ultron messed with the wrong person this time. You can leave the problem of solving it entirely to me." Facing the hopeful eyes of the crowd, Mike said, "So, now, can anyone tell me where that super robot is?"

Ultron's biggest mistake was dragging Scarlet Witch and other street heroes into the war.

Unfortunately, Mike is extremely protective of his own, and most importantly, he has the ability to do so.

The only problem now is to find Ultron and destroy it.

"Leave the search to me, Jarvis..." Tony called out to his smart assistant with renewed enthusiasm, only to realize that Jarvis was currently severely injured and paralyzed.

It's all Ultron's fault.

After silently adding another note to the super-intelligent robot's name in his mind, Tony went to the computer to check the surveillance footage himself.

Although the others were still doing nothing, Mike's arrival made the atmosphere in the room much more relaxed.

"Mike~" Thor, who had been silent until now, suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Mike turned to look at Thor, his eyes filled with inquiry.

This is not the time for reminiscing.

Furthermore, the affairs of Asgard and Odin, the king of the gods, are not suitable for discussion here.

“I want you to try and see if you can lift this hammer.” Thor gestured to the Meowth Hammer in front of him.

Odin has enchanted this hammer, Thor's hammer, so only those with a righteous heart can lift it.

Thor had always believed this, and he had always been proud to be able to use Mjolnir.

Not long ago, he even jokingly had each member of the Avengers try it out.

Apart from Captain America being a bit suspicious, no one else could budge the hammer.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

However, at that very moment, the newly formed super robot Ultron easily lifted Thor's hammer.

In addition, there were all the inhumane things Ultron did afterward.

This incident once made Thor feel that Mjolnir had been tainted, and also caused him to doubt himself.

If the "bad guy" can lift the Meow Hammer, then I can lift the Meow Hammer too.

Am I still a "good person" then?

This is a very tricky question.

Clearly, Thor, who couldn't figure out the answer, had gotten stuck in a rut.

He might not be able to sleep tonight until he figures out this somewhat ridiculous question.

"Hammer, what's wrong?" Mike stepped forward and easily picked up the Meow Hammer.

At the same time, all the Avengers members also turned their attention to this side.

Captain America, in particular, showed a hint of approval in his eyes.

Despite the unexpected Ultron incident, the Avengers generally approve of Mjolnir's ability to identify "good guys".

"It's nothing, I just feel more emotional." Thor then took the hammer, a relieved expression on his face.

Is Mike a good person?

At least in Thor's mind, Mike, who helped restore order to Asgard, was definitely a good person.

In other words, the Meow Hammer's identification function is still intact.

Although it has lost its "uniqueness".

But being able to be "partners" with Mike is obviously more comforting for Thor than being able to be "the same kind of person" as Ultron.

This is probably due to the mentality of emulating the virtuous and grouping together based on similarities.
