The reason he was brought here early was simply because the S.H.I.E.L.D. building was quite far from the Insight base, and the closest unit was Sitwell, who had been on surveillance duty in Brooklyn. Thinking about this, Hill remembered that this mission had previously been assigned to the bald man in front of her, but Diana had moved locations. However, Nick Fury at the time felt that surveillance in Brooklyn was still necessary, so he had Sitwell and his team remain there. Unfortunately, Nick Fury's death was rather sudden, and this mission wasn't considered a major issue, so it was completely forgotten by the current management.

Now? They've had almost a year of good times, a paid vacation by any measure, and it's time for these guys to get back to work.

Sitwell could only smile at Hill and say, "Come out and see if the director and the minister have arrived." That smile was as obsequious as could be.

"Then come back with us." Hill didn't care what the bald guy was thinking; he just wanted to bring the kid back. Regardless of what Sitwell had done before, his arrival had already ruined Sitwell's plans.

“Okay.” What else could Sitwell say but follow his superior’s superior back to the Insightful Council Hall?

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he heard the girl he had provoked saying to him in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't this the guy who doesn't get involved? Why are you back again? Aren't you afraid I'm a spy and will lead you all into some deadly trap?"

But all Sitwell could do now was laugh awkwardly; nobody knew whether he had actually managed to carve out a three-bedroom apartment from inside his exquisite handmade leather shoes.

Hill glanced at the somewhat awkward-looking girl standing next to Diana and already understood what the bald man behind her had done. He probably wanted to save his own life, so he tried to distance himself from her as soon as possible.

Hill doesn't object to agents maintaining this attitude towards their own security, but you can't embarrass yourselves in front of outsiders.

Hill could only smile and sit in the chair that Sitwell's lackey had brought over, facing Diana from a distance. If it weren't for the lack of a small lamp shining on Hill's face, the current situation would have resembled that of Hitler II and his two convicted criminals on trial.

"So, what's the situation now?"

Thor did have some connection with the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he diligently explained it to Hill again. After all, Diana and Tony hadn't said much, so it wasn't too difficult for him to understand.

"So, you're planning to go to another universe to resolve this?" Hill asked Diana, as if she was certain that Wonder Woman would go to help another universe after hearing Thor's explanation.

Although this female warrior sometimes commands outrageously high appearance fees, her performances are also outrageously effective.

For example, the Tesseract, the Helicarrier, and the Gungnir from Asgard that is currently hanging upside down in the Insightful Elevator, which is the eternal spear of Odin, the king of the gods, can all be considered as the fees Wonder Woman paid for her services.

Of course, the help that humanity gained by exchanging the Gungnir wasn't the kind of small-scale action S.H.I.E.L.D. would take. After all, very few people currently know the true purpose and value of the Tesseract. But on the surface, the Tesseract doesn't hold the same significance for S.H.I.E.L.D. as the Gungnir.

“The Insightful Ones is not my personal fiefdom, and I am not a violent person.” Diana shook her head at Hill. “If others don’t want to go, I will agree to it.”

Tony glanced at Diana but didn't say anything. After all, since becoming Insightful, everyone's lives hadn't changed much, except for Rhodes, who had retired from the military; everyone was still doing what they were supposed to do.

Of course, Rhodes wasn't idle either. Occasionally, he would go to the Middle East with me to cause trouble for those terrorists, such as dealing with the Ten Rings gang, who had orchestrated my kidnapping.

Diana had barely finished speaking when Captain America spoke first: "I will participate in this operation."

Diana didn't say anything, she just nodded.

As for the others, the Insightful guys smiled slightly at Diana.

What surprised everyone was that Loki was the first among the Insightful Ones to respond.

"I also want to see Asgard in another world."

“I’ll go too.” Thor followed closely behind, not letting his brother fall behind at all.

Banner said shyly to Diana, "It wouldn't have made any difference if I went, but Hulk agreed."

Rhodes shrugged: "The Insightful Ones pay me, of course I'll go. Besides, I'm called War Machine, the battlefield is my territory."

“S.H.I.E.L.D. will also provide full support.” Hill nodded to Diana at the end.

“Little one, can your world last another day?” Diana asked America.

America nodded.

"You have one day to sort out your affairs and try to take care of all the trivial matters. After one day, the Insightful Ones will gather."

Chapter 162 Anti-Diana Armor

"Are you going out again?" Wanda asked Diana with a clearly sour face. "You've only been back for less than a day, and you're already leaving."

Little Wanda was a little unhappy. Although Diana had only been away from them briefly when she went to space before, this time she was going to another parallel universe. No one knew how that other universe differed from their own. What if the flow of time was different? Wouldn't Diana be unable to return for a very long time?

"It's alright." Diana smiled and ruffled little Wanda's hair, then noticed Pietro standing to the side, looking a little different than usual. The white-haired boy clearly had something on his mind, but seemed unsure how to express it, scratching his head in confusion.

But he couldn't stand it any longer and said to Pietro, "What do you want to say?"

"May I come with you?" Pietro asked Diana somewhat nervously. He clearly knew that Diana might not agree to his request, so he carefully observed her expression.

To his surprise, Diana showed no resistance or resentment; she simply smiled at him. This rendered his prepared explanations useless, as it seemed Diana had no intention of stopping him now.

“Although I really wanted to refuse you, since you should be focusing on your studies right now, I think those things aren’t always necessary for you, are they?” Diana cupped the white-haired boy’s face in her hands and rubbed it hard a few times until red marks appeared on Pietro’s face before letting go. “So, you can now be a prospective member of the Insightful Ones. So prepare yourself well, you’re leaving tomorrow.”

Patting her own white-haired son's head, Diana smiled and looked at little Wanda, whose cheeks were puffed up in anger. She also patted Wanda's smooth, long brown hair: "You can do it too. I know you don't really like going to school. But before, I just thought you needed to interact with your peers. Now..."

Little Wanda, her eyes sparkling, asked Diana, "Can I be an Insightful One too?" Wanda might not have had any particular desire to be an Insightful One, but the prospect of school life was incredibly alluring. Having experienced the events of Sokovia, they had long since become different from the children living in America.

After all, the high school they attended was one of the top high schools in New York City, and it didn't have the same environment as other high schools, so naturally, those guys didn't have much in common with Wanda and the others.

Even Gwen and Peter's friendship stemmed from their own lives—one because of his father, the Commissioner of Justice, and the other because they lived just two blocks from Hell's Kitchen. Naturally, they could share common ground with Wanda and her group, making their friendship understandable. Harry? Harry's friendship was largely due to his experience witnessing the brutal business struggles.

If it weren't for Diana's insistence, Wanda would have wanted to quit school long ago.

"Okay, but I have some requirements for you. You need a little bit of equipment. At least something that will give me the peace of mind to take you to another universe." Diana had essentially agreed to the two little ones' wishes. When Spider-Man appeared, New York was no longer the city it used to be.

The various crimes that followed were far from trivial, and letting these two kids continue as ordinary high school students was clearly no longer the best option. It would be better to have these two kids participate in all the supernatural events, ensuring that at least in the future, neither of them would lose their lives because of anything ridiculous, and that they wouldn't become corrupted.

Two small, golden suits of armor slowly appeared in Diana's hands. One was clearly a typical women's suit, while the other was a men's suit prepared for Pietro. It was evident from these two suits that they were reconstructed by Diana based on the Amazonian Golden Eagle armor, solely for the safety of the two little ones.

After all, no one knows what else awaits them in that other world. Diana's priority now is to protect her two little ones before anything else can proceed smoothly.

"Yeah!!" Wanda and Pietro exchanged a glance and then let out an excited scream. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. When they first started school, they couldn't stand the environment. It wasn't a place for them, and even though they were still teenagers, the school environment always made them feel like they were dreaming.

That's too unrealistic.

While Diana was dealing with her little one, Tony and Pepper were sitting in their seaside villa, staring at each other.

"You're telling me now that you're going to another universe to carry out some so-called rescue mission?" Pepper tapped Tony's chest imaginaryly, her previous elegance and composure completely gone. Her boyfriend had become too powerful; she couldn't control him anymore. Before, it was just minor trouble in the Middle East; now he was breaking through dimensions to save the world in some parallel universe?

“I know having a superhero boyfriend will be a lot of trouble for you, you’ll worry about me a lot, and you’ll also…” Tony looked at Pepper’s increasingly impatient face and could only take back his words and reorganize his thoughts.

“I know this is unusual, Pepper. But you have to believe me, it’s inevitable, it’s…” Tony didn’t know how to phrase it, and finally could only say one word to Pepper, “fate, destiny, you know? I feel this is what I should do. I can’t sit on my multi-thousand-dollar sofa like before, quietly savoring the so-called wine that’s already appreciating in value.”

"Sorry," Tony could only say to Pepper in the end, before getting up to leave and head to the basement to prepare his armor. Although it was only a day, it was enough time for him to strengthen his Anti-Diana armor a bit more.

"Wait." Pepper stopped Tony and stood up like him, but this time Pepper just walked up to Tony and straightened his shirt collar. "Let me make this clear, I'm not doing this for any other reason. I'm just worried that you might not be able to manage your life on the other side."

"Pepper?"

“I believe you have a suit of armor for your girlfriend, don’t you?” Pepper said to Tony with a smile.

Tony smiled and nodded.

Chapter 163 The title girl has gone missing again.

Since Tony began building his armor, he has always been extremely concerned about the safety of those around him, especially his secretary, now his girlfriend. She is his top priority, and he dares not be careless in the slightest. So much so that while continuously improving his own armor, he is also creating even more sophisticated female armor to cope with possible future situations.

This naturally includes situations where one's girlfriend accompanies him to the battlefield.

“Alright, I need to go down and continue tweaking the armor. At least I have a day to perfect it, to ensure there won't be any problems due to unforeseen circumstances. Even in the other universe, the AI ​​needs to be replaced; Jarvis doesn't have the ability to connect to another universe.” Tony said, gently kissing Pepper's lips before turning and quickly walking towards his underground workshop.

Pepper could only shout at Tony's retreating figure, "Watch out, I don't want to see Diana in the armor you used to fight her."

Tony answered the question without turning his head: "Trust me, Honey, she won't care about this kind of thing."

Pepper just shrugged. Although that's what he said, nobody knows how things will actually turn out. After all, nobody's going to be happy about something their friend developed just to counter them.

We can only hope that Diana really wouldn't care about this kind of thing.

But in reality, if Diana knew about this, it wouldn't be a big deal. She'd always had that kind of mechanism in place to deal with all her other teammates, or basically all the superhumans she knew; it wasn't a big deal at all.

Besides, it's just a suit of armor; it won't cause any big trouble.

"Jarvis, bring up WWB15." Tony said to Jarvis as soon as he returned to his workshop. "What we need now is not the small-scale stuff we've been doing before. Jarvis, analyze the potential combat scenarios for this suit of armor."

"Sir, I'm sorry, there's no way to simulate it. I don't know what's in the universe you're going to. The data is insufficient, so I can't simulate it." Jarvis's voice remained calm, but when he pulled up the design blueprint for Wonder Woman Buster XV, he still said to Tony, "The current WWB armor can handle most situations, including space combat and remote control of the suit."

"Sir, I don't know what aspects of the WWB armor can be improved now. Unless you can apply nanotechnology to the armor, any other improvements would be a waste of time."

Tony paid no heed to the advice his AI assistant gave him. Right now, all he could do was try his best to ensure that he wouldn't become a burden on the other battlefield, and also to ensure the safety of Pepper, who was going with him this time.

"Is it possible for us to upgrade our armor again?" Tony ultimately decided against adding any more weapons, since the primary concern was whether he could survive in another universe; everything else was secondary.

As for Jarvis's nanotechnology, that's ridiculous. Although he's given time, Tony is 1000% confident he can create a nanotech armor, but it's definitely not now, especially with only one day.

"Okay, sir. Begin the simulation. Shall we name it WWB16 Armor?"

Tony shook his head: "It's not really number 16. It's just a minor upgrade, not enough to replace the previous generation."

"Should Miss Pepper's armor be WWB15?"

"Hmm, redesign her appearance, making it as beautiful and attractive as possible while also considering firepower and defense." Tony stroked his chin, watching Jarvis continuously work on potentially effective armor enhancement plans on the virtual control panel in front of him. "Remember to allow enough time for armor assembly."

"No problem, sir."

Tony's only hope now is to be able to upgrade his current strongest armor again in this short period of time. Although the current WWB-15 is basically a replica of Diana from the Hammer Industries press conference battle, it's still not enough. At least Tony believes that these things may not be enough to deal with a super war in another universe.

At the Insight Base, after the meeting, America stayed in the building, wandering around with Dr. Banner. The little one was still very curious about this kind of base, after all, in the universe she had been to, almost all the Avengers bases were eventually completely taken back by the so-called Department of Disaster Control (DODC).

So he didn't get the chance to visit a proper superhero base. As for that Illuminati base, the little guy didn't have a good impression of it. What kind of superhero base was that? It was just a bunch of megalomaniacs gathered together, telling you you were a threat, and then trying to control you.

What the hell is this?

"By the way, aren't you going to pack your things or something?" the little girl asked Dr. Banner beside her. "Everyone else has things to do, don't you need to?"

Dr. Banner was quite honest and said directly to the little girl, "I think you should know what kind of guy I am, right?"

"Hulk is also Bruce Banner."

“So, I’d better stay in the Insightful. If I go out and nothing goes wrong, that’s fine, but if something does, I’ll have to trouble Diana to handle it.” Banner said to America with a smile, then his expression turned melancholy as he seemed to remember something. “Besides, there’s no one to visit me now, and I don’t think anyone would want to see me.”

"I'm sorry." America sincerely apologized to Banner; she hadn't expected this. The Banner of today was not the beloved Dr. Hulk of the universe; no one saw him as a superhero, just a destructive green monster.

Banner didn't care about these things; he had become quite detached about them during his time on the run: "It's alright, let's keep looking around. Weren't you curious about the Insightful Building?"

"Hehe." America didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Banner noticing her curiosity about the base; instead, she was a little shy. "Could you show me around some more?"

“No problem. But to be honest, I can only answer some questions about the technology. As for the other things, those were made by Thor and the artisans of Asgard at Diana's request. Some of them…” As a scientist, Banner still couldn’t quite accept the mysterious concept of “magic.”

"It's nothing. I'm just curious about the superhero organization's base. I've never been to a place like this before." Perhaps feeling that she had stirred up Banner's painful memories, America spoke to Banner unusually enthusiastically, trying to sweep away the bad mood she had caused him.

Banner understood, smiled, and continued to lead the little girl around the Insight Building.

All the Insightful Ones, along with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents about to venture into outer space, were busy preparing for their missions. These two, if you didn't count Diana, who was currently taking her little one to process her school withdrawal.

Chapter 164 Father? Mr. Stark?

Time always flies; a day that usually feels long has already passed completely. But regardless of whether they had resolved their own matters, everyone had arrived at the Insightful's base on time, ready to face another completely unknown world.
