“Somewhat similar, but different,” Diana replied. “How do you know about those guys in the flat universe?”

Banner stood up, patted his pants, and replied to Diana, "The day you left, some guy came here and is still mooching off Tony." Banner wanted to laugh at the thought of Tony's utterly dejected expression, but he managed to hold back with great willpower, making sure he didn't burst out laughing.

Diana, however, did not expect that a visitor from another universe would arrive while she was away for only a day, and it seems that he has tormented Tony quite a bit.

“That’s something to look at.” Diana didn’t move, but simply sat on the lawn, waiting for Banner to inform Tony to bring the extraterrestrial visitor here. Diana was curious to see if the purple man had any connection to the extraterrestrial visitor. If so, that would be quite interesting.

Banner didn't see anything wrong with Diana's actions; she was practically the most powerful person on this planet. For her to personally visit a visitor from another universe? Wasn't that a joke?

While Diana and Banner met, Tony in Malibu was truly on the verge of tears. This was the first time he had ever been tormented like this. The little guy sitting opposite Tony was wearing a denim jacket and black slim-fit trousers, his face still showing signs of immaturity, looking like a little kid who hadn't grown up yet.

But this little kid, when he arrived, kept saying, "You're not dead?" Anyone would find that unbearable, let alone Tony Stark, who had escaped from the Imperial Graveyard less than a year ago. It was practically torture for his eardrums.

"Why is it only 2009 here? In the other worlds I went to, it was already 2023 or later," the little guy asked Tony as he rolled up a pizza on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Even if you asked this question to the planet's superbrain, Tony couldn't explain it all, despite understanding that parallel universes were inevitable. But without something so completely unexpected, there's no way to draw a definitive conclusion.

"Ah...?" Tony hesitated for a moment, not remembering the little girl's name, and said to the girl who was stuffing pizza into her mouth.

“America.” America swallowed the pizza in her mouth and repeated it to Tony.

“America, you said that in the other worlds you went to, I basically died. And in those other worlds, I've already met Thanos, the Thanos you mentioned. The timeline doesn't match up either. Doesn't that mean that this universe is different from the universes you've seen before?” Tony asked America, propping his head up with his hand.

“I don’t know, I don’t understand any of this.” America shook her head, her ponytail swaying behind her head. “Logically speaking, the universe I’ve come to should be the one where Thanos survived. But you haven’t even seen any people yet, and you don’t even know why I’m here.”

Tony rubbed his forehead. Traveling between parallel universes was something he hadn't researched yet; it was basically starting from scratch. He could only say that he understood his own universe was special. But what made it special?

Tony couldn't help but think of Diana, the one who easily wiped out a super-creature the size of a planet. Perhaps that was what made their universe so special.

"Sir, Dr. Banner is calling you."

"Bring him in." Tony instructed Jarvis without hesitation. "Didn't you do yoga today? Why are you calling me? Is there anything you don't understand that you're asking me?"

“Diana wants to see the girl, at the Insight Building.” Banner didn’t waste any words and directly explained the purpose of his call to Tony.

"Didn't you just leave yesterday?" Tony was also a little confused. He had just gone to space yesterday, so how did he come back today?

"Now that you're here, ask her yourself."

"Okay, I'm going now." Tony snapped his fingers and hung up the phone.

"Who is Diana?" America had never heard of this name in any other universe.

“You’ll see when we get there.” Tony didn’t answer, but simply got up to take America to the Insight Building. “Let’s eat quickly.”

Chapter 157 You don't have bad interpersonal relationships, do you?

America sat on Tony's private jet, carefully examining the man with the mustache in front of her. Even though a day had passed, she still couldn't quite accept that the man in front of her was the superhero who had sacrificed himself in various invasions.

"Did you carry the nuclear bomb in New York before?" America's eyes widened as she looked at this person she had heard about before, but this was truly the first time she had ever seen him.

"Who's tired of living to drop a nuclear bomb on New York? Aren't they afraid their head will be stuck in the flagpole in front of the Capitol the next day?" Tony savored his whiskey, answering the girl's question without a care.

“Oh, okay.” America’s expression conveyed an indescribable sense of disappointment, as if Tony had missed out on some tremendous opportunity.

To Tony, that expression seemed to say that he wasn't himself unless he had lifted a nuclear bomb. What was going on?

"Never lifted a nuclear bomb, never experienced the S.H.I.E.L.D. incident, which means Ultron hasn't been created yet." America sat there counting on her fingers, carefully listing the things she roughly knew. After all, in another universe, this guy was the one who snapped his fingers.

How can I possibly get to another universe in this chaotic state?

Although Tony was annoyed by the little girl's nagging, he did hear the name of Ultron, which should have been his masterpiece. As for Dr. Banner's contribution to Ultron, Tony could only call him the Mother of Ultron.

After all, "Father of Ultron" sounds more like his real title.

"Ultron? I've already built that." Tony said seriously, looking at the little girl. After all, he had indeed built it, even though the Helicarrier carrying the Tesseract and Diana disappeared in the end. But at least he had made it, proving that he wasn't inferior to his counterpart in another universe. Of course, he was only referring to intelligence, not anything else.

"Then your Ultron didn't go out of control?" The little girl really didn't know what tact was, and directly put the thing Tony least wanted to talk about on the table.

The fact that something he invented was out of control was the greatest insult to Tony. Although Tony's face had already darkened, he couldn't help but soften a bit when he met America's somewhat innocent eyes.

"It went out of control, but then it disappeared from this world." Tony casually glossed over Ultron's loss of control and the things that were swept away by Ultron.

America, however, interpreted it differently and nodded, "Then it seems you're a bit stronger than the Tony Stark from the universe I know." That Tony was the one who, when Ultron was almost about to achieve his plan, finally created Vision to resolve the Ultron crisis.

Hearing America's words, even if she said that her counterpart in another universe wasn't as strong as him, Tony felt it was perfectly reasonable. He didn't consider himself inferior to anyone, especially in terms of intelligence. But even so, he didn't say anything. At least America's Ultron was eventually dealt with, while his Ultron was nowhere to be found, having taken the Tesseract somewhere.

How could I possibly discuss such matters with a visitor from another universe? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to my own universe? I absolutely cannot let this get out. Once I reach the Insight Tower, I'll discuss it with Banner. I absolutely cannot let it slip.

Seeing that Tony showed no sign of responding, America simply changed the subject and started asking about the superhero she had never heard of in any of these universes.

"So, what kind of superhero was Diana exactly?"

Tony found it rather interesting. This little guy had never even met Diana, so how could he be so sure that Diana was a superhero?

"Don't you think we're the real supervillains in our universe?" Tony leaned back in his chair, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the armrest. Combined with his already roguish look, he was the epitome of an arrogant and domineering rich kid. But, if you didn't consider his money, this guy, when he got into a fight, was just another greenhorn thug who wasn't afraid of anything.

America calmly shook her head, indicating she didn't believe it. There was practically no Tony Stark in any universe; he was either a supervillain or she had never encountered a supervillain Tony Stark. Thinking about this, the girl felt a chill run down her spine. If this really was a universe with a supervillain like Tony Stark, had she just walked right into a trap?

"Now you're scared?" Tony rested his chin on his hand, smiling as he looked at the slightly flustered little girl. It felt really good to tease a child; his own two godchildren had been spoiled by Diana and never experienced this kind of fun.

They weren't afraid of him at all. Where did that leave his dignity as the Godfather? Were they even giving Mr. Stark any face?

America, who was initially a little nervous, now realized that if this person was a supervillain, she wouldn't still be here. She would have been killed countless times by now and her body would have been dumped on the cliff outside Tony's house in Malibu.

"So who exactly was Diana?"

Tony thought it was normal for the little girl to react so quickly. What kind of space traveler would be if he were easily scared out of his wits? Wouldn't it be better to go home and grow flowers than to live in fear?

"Like I said, you'll know when you see it."

After Tony finished speaking, he didn't intend to say anything more to the girl. He simply closed his eyes, giving her a look that said, "Don't bother me, I don't want to talk to you right now."

America obediently shut her mouth and said nothing more. But that curiosity was once again buried deep within her. However, according to Tony's words, she was about to meet someone who might very well be like herself.

A unique individual in the multiverse.

What kind of person is he?

Just as the little girl's thoughts were churning, Tony's plane officially arrived at the towering building that looked extraordinary.

"The Insightful Ones." America hadn't expected to encounter the Avengers again, but instead a host of strange and unusual superhero organizations. However, this seemed much better than the Illuminati she'd met before. At least they hadn't imprisoned her and were even studying her methods.

“Welcome to the Insightful Ones, little girl.” Tony stopped pretending to be asleep and slowly stretched as he spoke to America in front of him.

"But why isn't anyone here to pick us up?" America wondered. Had she made a mistake in finding Tony's contact within the organization? Otherwise, why wouldn't anyone come out to greet us? "You're not unpopular, are you?"

Tony was a little angry, but he couldn't say anything. He could only take out his sunglasses and put them on, not wanting to look at this little girl again. It was infuriating! Even if what she said made a little bit of sense, she shouldn't have said it so directly. It hurt Mr. Stark's feelings.

"Let's go. Once we're inside the building, the guy you want to meet will appear."

Chapter 158 I'm here to call for reinforcements!

Even after seeing the headquarters of superhero organizations across various universes, the little girl couldn't help but feel that the interior of the Insightful was rather austere. Aside from the gleaming marble floors and the towering, tower-like elevator in the center of the building, there was practically no other decoration.

"You actually agreed to such a simple renovation?" America didn't think Tony Stark would agree to such a simplistic approach. Besides, the building felt lifeless; it didn't look like anyone lived there.

"I don't manage this mess, and besides, not many people live here right now." Tony thought it was best as it was; since not many people lived here, there was no need for luxurious renovations. He could renovate again when someone came to stay with Banner. Money didn't matter.

As for whether some supervillain might destroy this place? Tony wasn't worried at all. With Diana having reinforced it, it wasn't so easy for anyone to destroy it. It wasn't some warehouse converted into a base with no defenses.

"Let's go, they should be on the top floor now." Tony walked straight towards the central elevator, not caring at all whether America hadn't followed. They were people who could travel through space. If she couldn't even keep up with a guy with a lightbulb embedded in his chest, she might as well give up being a superhero and go home to raise pigs.

America didn't ask Tony to wait for her; she simply followed him into the central tower of the Insight Tower.

As the only way to the upper levels in the Insight Tower, America was still somewhat curious. Wouldn't there be any possibility of someone trying to steal the elevator? Standing inside what looked like an elevator, America realized that it was completely transparent in all directions, without any obstructions.

Furthermore, I didn't see anything used for towing.

But when you look up, you can see a small golden dot, though you can't quite make out what it is. Perhaps that's what's used to pull this transparent elevator.

"Hold on tight." America, who had just stood still, heard Tony's advice. Without thinking twice, she quickly and steadily stood still, trying her best to avoid making a fool of herself.

Unfortunately, the little guy was thinking a bit too much.

This thing doesn't suddenly rise, and you won't even feel it shake. As an elevator in the Insight Tower, it probably works a little differently from high-speed elevators elsewhere; otherwise, this place wouldn't be called the Tower of Babel.

"What is this?" America had never seen such a rainbow-shaped light appear around an elevator before. Suddenly, she remembered that she had discussed with her friend about Thor, who arrived on Earth in a beam of light like this.

"The Rainbow Bridge, also known as the Einstein-Rosen Bridge." Tony loved seeing this kind of naiveté. They think they can travel through the universe? Aren't they just amazed by this kind of thing? It's nothing really.

In less than two sentences, the two of them had already reached the top of the Insightful Building.

"Alright, come with me." Tony patted America on the shoulder and said with a light laugh to the little girl.

But the little girl ignored Tony's meaning, staring intently at the so-called golden dot that was now practically hanging above her head. That wasn't a golden dot at all; it was a long spear, entirely golden, etched with mysterious patterns.

That thing was suspended high above the elevator—no, not an elevator, but a teleportation bridge. It was a bit chilling, wasn't it? What if it fell? And the energy contained within that spear was definitely on an astonishing scale.

If it falls, it could be equivalent to a nuclear bomb exploding on the spot!

"Don't look, that thing won't fall." Tony had naturally noticed what the little girl was looking at and could only shake his head. Although he was a little scared when he first saw it, after a few times, he got used to it.

Even now, it's quite interesting to observe how others react.

America, listening to Tony's words, could only reluctantly avert her gaze. She couldn't blame herself for being afraid; the thing was simply terrifying.

Tony didn't want to say anything more, so he just snapped his fingers, and the previously closed door opened.

The young girl didn't waste any time and stepped out of the elevator before Tony. The long spear was just too intimidating, even more frightening than the monsters summoned by the Scarlet Witch.

Tony didn't care about America's behavior and just strolled out. He then led the little girl through the corridor that stretched from the Tower of Babel to the floors, arriving at a solid wooden door that exuded an antique charm.

I don't know where they got this solid wooden door, which has a strong sense of history. The workmanship looks just like that of old medieval England.

However, the sculptures on the door have a distinctly non-British feel.

Before anyone even got close to the gate, the two doors, carved with the "Battle of the Amazons," slowly opened.

When America came to her senses, she saw a huge oval meeting table, but now only a beautiful woman was sitting in the head seat, staring at her with great interest.

Apart from that, this meeting room can be described as extremely simple.

"So, these are the kids from our other universe?" Diana propped her face up with her left hand and tapped the table rhythmically with her right.

However, America couldn't discern any sign of thought on that woman's face, or even whether she was awake or not. It felt like talking to a Persian cat that had just woken up, and the cat wasn't even interested in responding.

Just as the little girl was about to introduce herself, Tony interrupted her, saying, "That's right, she is indeed a child. I don't even know if she's an adult or not." Tony answered Diana's question quite casually, then walked to his seat, on which was engraved his Iron Man helmet.

And that was the seat to Diana's right.

America was somewhat bewildered that the only person in the universe she knew had simply abandoned her there. She could only rush to Tony's side and say, "I'm an adult now. I can drink in three more years. I'm not a kid anymore."

Tony paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Diana and laughed.
