American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Chapter 161 So you were just trying to pick up girls

Lynn simply used a provocation tactic, and Stark immediately cracked the information storage device.

Stark was initially depressed, but then he thought about it again and became happy.

Although what Lynn said was infuriating, didn't it also represent Lynn's self-acceptance?

Thinking this way, Stark's anger subsided considerably.

"Don't think that I'll thank you just because you're praising me. I've got my score from what we just did, and I'll settle it later."

Lynn smiled faintly, not taking Stark's words to heart at all.

This guy is incredibly arrogant and two-faced; whatever he says is just for fun.

To know what Stark is really thinking, we have to see what he does.

Thinking this way, Lynn casually tossed over a translator; these cheap little gadgets were everywhere in the universe.

Even a child who has studied repair and engineering for a few days can piece together an electronic device from the electronic waste they find.

Some races even implant this translator directly into the child's body at birth.

The process is somewhat similar to how children are vaccinated at birth these days.

Only a relatively underdeveloped civilization like Earth would be so lacking in such basic technologies.

This situation is also quite easy to understand.

In modern times, even elementary school students can learn a little about the subject and assemble an electric toy car with just a few materials.

They are willing to delve deeper into the subject, and could even hand-make electric motors themselves.

But hundreds of years ago, let alone electric toy cars, you probably wouldn't even be able to find a copper wire.

The same principle applies to the universe.

Those parts that were considered garbage by various cosmic civilizations could, if randomly found and placed on Earth today, greatly advance Earth's technology.

After receiving the translator from Lynn, Stark quickly figured out the underlying logic of how the translator worked.

Of course, to fully complete the translation, a large amount of language data stored within it is also needed to improve the translator.

However, these are not difficult tasks for Stark.

In a total of only two hours, Stark created a universal translator suitable for Earth babies.

"A piece of cake!"

Stark said casually, putting the translator on himself.

The translator's database already contains a corpus of Sovereign language. Stark only needs to input the corpus corresponding to the languages ​​on Earth to easily understand the Sovereign data.

Lynn gave Stark the lowest-end, most basic translator.

There are all sorts of other types of translators in the universe.

Some functions are so powerful that they can analyze the meaning of a language spoken by an unfamiliar race with just a few words.

There are also some races that do not use technological means.

These races can understand what the other person is trying to express through mental power or magic.

In short, Lynn saw a lot of interesting things in the universe during this trip.

After understanding the information Lynn gave him, Stark's expression became very subtle.

He had to admit that the technology Lynn provided was indeed somewhat ahead of its time.

Some of the design ideas even gave him considerable inspiration.

"Where did you get these things?"

Stark turned and stared intently at Lynn.

He could tell that much of the information was highly classified, and would certainly be considered top secret even within that civilization.

How did Lynn obtain this information?

"You didn't exactly raid an entire civilization, did you?"

Stark looked conflicted.

As a human being, Stark is undoubtedly a planet supremacist.

But at the same time, he still has the values ​​and logic of a normal person.

He will not hesitate to retaliate against those who dare to invade Earth.

But if those people did nothing, or even if it was a relatively friendly civilization that actively invaded others, Stark would inevitably feel a sense of guilt.

Lynn could tell what Stark was thinking just by looking at his expression.

"Don't overthink it," I said.

"How could I possibly be the kind of person who would do such a thing?"

Lynn waved his hand dismissively and explained softly,

"I just took a trip around the universe. Some people took a liking to my strength and wanted to seek my refuge, so they contributed these useless things to me."

"Although it's not very useful to me, I figured that if I brought it to Earth, you would definitely be able to make it more efficient, so I accepted it."

"How about it? My judgment was good, wasn't it? These techniques are useful?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

Stark breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lynn's explanation.

A moment later, he realized what nonsense Lynn was spouting.

"You mean an entire civilization possessing this technology is seeking your protection?"

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Without exaggeration, based on the technology Lynn provided, Stark felt that this planet's civilization was at least five hundred years more advanced than Earth's!

If this planet wanted to annihilate Earth's conventional military, it probably wouldn't even take more than an hour.

Of course, this is on the premise that we don't count geniuses like him, or all the mutant villains on Earth.

If we include those people—it's hard to say—but one thing is absolutely certain: this planet has highly advanced technology and sufficient self-defense capabilities.

Their remote-controlled drone technology, in particular, is truly remarkable.

This even gave Stark a lot of inspiration.

The problem is, how could such a powerful civilization need to seek Lynn's protection?

Just how dangerous is the universe?

From another perspective, just how extraordinary must Lynn's power be for an entire civilization to seek his protection?

Lynn plopped down on the sofa.

"Would you like to have a talk with me?"

Stark sat down with a slight sense of doubt, wondering what Lynn was up to.

In fact, Lynn had long wanted to talk to Stark about the development of Earth.

Previously, it was because the enemies they faced were merely small fish and shrimp on Earth.

In addition, Lynn's strength had not reached the point where he could be invincible on Earth, so he didn't consider so many things.

But as Lynn gradually acquired Chaos Magic, the Phoenix Force, and the Death Force, he was not invincible in the world, but at least he didn't have to bear too much burden on Earth.

The stronger one is, the higher one's position, and the greater the responsibilities one must bear.

It's not that Lynn has any compassionate feelings about protecting the Earth; it's just that when your strength reaches a certain level, those troubles will automatically come knocking on your door.

For example, Cassandra, Loki the God of Time, and even a villain like Kang.

These people all have their own schemes and ideas, and to achieve their goals, they will definitely kill those who would interfere with their plans first.

When Lynn was still very weak, he naturally wouldn't take such a person seriously.

But once Lynn's strength reached its peak, he naturally could not tolerate these people causing trouble on Earth.

With the world in chaos, how can Lynn possibly live a leisurely life?

Therefore, not only for himself, but also for his future life, Lynn had to find ways to improve himself and the strength of the Illuminati members.

Tony is incredibly talented; even Thanos praised him as someone cursed with knowledge.

However, Tony was limited by his own perspective and never actually looked out into space.

Although this does not diminish his reputation as a genius, the achievements a person can make are different in different environments.

In other words, Tony needs someone to lend him a hand.

To give a simple example, it only took Tony a few months to create the Iron Man armor from scratch.

After that, although Tony's Iron Man armor had many improvements, it didn't undergo much qualitative change.

After the Battle of New York, Tony's Mark armor was rapidly upgraded, and it has now been updated more than a dozen times.

Even in a universe where Lynn doesn't exist, Tony's armor undergoes a leap in change and improvement after every major event.

This shows that external catalysts are one of the most fundamental factors that drive Tony's evolution.

Right now, Tony hasn't received enough stimulation, and Lynn knows that this is far from Tony's limit!

It's worth noting that in some universes, Tony even created an anti-Phoenix armor capable of destroying the Phoenix with a single shot.

In order to make their own future easier, and also to enhance the overall strength of the planet,

Therefore, Lynn felt it was necessary to give Iron Man a little catalyst.

Of course, this was definitely not because Lynn wanted to slack off.

How can you call it slacking off when it comes to the affairs of the Illuminati? Right?

"You've been acting strange all day, so what exactly do you want to tell me?"

Stark narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Lynn.

"Do you know what my biggest takeaway from this trip to the universe is?"

Lynn stared intently at Stark.

"My biggest realization is that the Earth is far too small."

Stark rolled his eyes when he heard Lynn say that.

"Come on, is Earth really that weak?"

Stark counted the members of the Illuminati on his fingers.

"Goddess of Death, you, and Wanda—"

"I'm not even counting those lunatics who cause trouble in the shadows. Just talking about you legitimate heroes, who in the universe can rival you?"

"So in my opinion, the Earth is not weak at all. Don't try to fool me with this kind of thing."

Stark mercilessly exposed Lynn's lie.

But I always felt that the dark color didn't change anything; instead, it made me look more serious.

"That's certainly true."

"But the question is, can protecting the Earth really rely solely on us abnormal people?"

"If a civilization needs so-called heroes to step forward and protect its continuation no matter what happens, then that civilization is destined to fail."

"That's right. Right now, it seems like there are many powerful heroes protecting the Earth, and the Earth is very safe."

"But we can only protect the safety of the entire Earth; we can't detect the aliens that have infiltrated."

"For us, if we encounter such aliens, we can just crush them with a snap."

"But what if the persecution is carried out by members of ordinary families?"

"You have to understand that what is just a simple grunt to us may be a pain that an ordinary person cannot bear in their entire life."

"In the Battle of New York, we successfully stopped the enemy's invasion."

"But what if the enemy expands again, or even reaches Earth's mainland?"

At this point, Lynn recalled a little-known fact he had learned during his time in the universe.

"The Chitauri, you know them, right? They're the opponents we faced in the Battle of New York."

Lynn shook his head helplessly and said slowly.

Do you know what their reputation is like in the universe?

"These are a bunch of foolish creatures who appear fierce but pose no threat whatsoever."

"Because they have a typical swarm mentality, and as soon as their mastermind dies, all the soldiers will be wiped out instantly."

"So, to deal with these brainless idiots, all we need to do is carry out a decapitation strike."

But they were unaware of this intelligence and foolishly fought the Chitauri for so long.

"If we encounter a similar situation again, we must obtain firsthand intelligence. At the very least, we should know about the major powers that exist in the universe!"

"Well said—"

Stark looked at Lynn thoughtfully.

"I remember you just sheltered a civilization, and it seems that this civilization has quite advanced technology."

Lynn rolled her eyes inwardly.

He came to find tasks for Stark, not to add more burdens to himself.

"You're right, but the problem is that Earth's external communications can't be decided by a group of people like us."

Lynn gave a disdainful snort.

"Although I'm not particularly interested in those idiots in the government, you have to admit that if Earth really wants to set foot in interstellar space, it has to get these politicians involved."

"Therefore, the overall level of technology on Earth is extremely important at this time."

"Even if we are very powerful and can intimidate those powerful Galactic Empires, preventing them from taking any rash actions against Earth."

"But there are always some blind robbers and the lowest of the low who might take the risk of coming to Earth to plunder."

"There are plenty of mentally challenged people like this throughout the universe!"

"We can't just run around the world like firefighters all day just to deal with these mentally unstable people."

Stark crossed his arms over his chest.

"So, after going through all this trouble, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Stark—have you ever thought about entering politics?"

"I?"

Stark rolled his eyes.

"Don't joke around. If I really wanted to go into politics, I would only become president, not someone else."

"What? You want me to be president?"

"Cough cough."

President, this really won't work; Lynn has already made the promise.

"As for the president—forget it, I already have a suitable candidate."

"However, since you put it that way, I think you could also cooperate with the relevant departments to improve Earth's technological capabilities in the process."

"With your level of technology, advancing Earth's technology by three to five hundred years would be absolutely no problem."

Stark is so arrogant that all it takes is a few kind words to make him overjoyed and completely lose his sense of direction.

"You don't actually think that saying a few nice words will make me willingly work for the government, do you?"

Stark gave Lynn a strange look.

"And besides, I don't recall ever seeing you become a government lackey."

"Don't put it so harshly. It's all about cooperation. You understand what cooperation is, right?"

Lynn chuckled.

"It's like this, I have a senior in college whose goal is to become the first female president of the United States, and she still holds some power. I'm saying, maybe, perhaps, Stark Industries has a related cooperation plan?"

The senior student has approached Lynn many times about the president's matter.

Seeing how hard her senior was working to supplement her protein intake, Lynn felt she had no choice but to step in and do something for her, since it was just a small favor anyway.

"So, you're suddenly being so nice today. You were just waiting for me here."

Stark gave a cold laugh.

"You actually want to betray my company just to pick up girls? Let me tell you, don't even think about it, it's absolutely impossible."

Lynn smiled faintly.

He took out a pale blue bead from his pocket and slowly placed it on the table.

"Don't be so sure. Look at this; maybe you'll consider changing your mind?"

"You don't actually think I'll listen to you just because you give me some random bead, do you?"

Stark was utterly disdainful.

However, Lynn did not explain, but instead smiled faintly and activated the power of the gods.

In the blink of an eye, a pale blue light filled the entire room.

"Warning, warning, high-energy source detected."

"Sir, for safety reasons, I suggest you move away from the current energy source."

Stark's previously indifferent expression suddenly became quite interesting.

"What is this thing?"

Lynn tossed the bead containing the power of the gods into the air.

The flickering light reflected on Stark's face. "Remember the Tesseract from before?"

"The Cosmic Cube is actually one of the six gems that make up the most basic universe."

"You mean, this is something like the Tesseract?"

Stark was very curious.

Lynn waved his hand.

"Infinity Stones aren't something you can obtain so easily."

"However, although the energy contained in this bead cannot compare with that of the Infinity Stones, it is still an incredibly vast amount of energy for ordinary people."

"So? Want to take a look?"
