I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Otherwise, the Chitauri would attack Earth like mad dogs, giving them no time to breathe.

Even though this battle was a case of the Chitauri being caught off guard, the Chitauri's repeated charges unleashed a large number of energy blasts, causing immense damage to New York.

"Compared to being forced to use the Mushroom Egg at the last minute, at least New York is still habitable now."

"So we did win."

"It's all thanks to you, Tony Stark."

Seeing Tony's somewhat insecure look, Steve offered words of comfort.

His experience was different from Tony Stark's first time participating in a war.

He had participated in wars in the past and had seen the flames of war spread to various parts of the world.

But now, decades later, when I wake up, apart from the Japanese who are living a relatively comfortable life...

Areas unaffected by the mushroom egg have experienced rapid development over the past few decades.

Because Tony's plan was still in progress, Steve viewed the outcome of this battle as positive.

After all, compared to New York being completely wiped out, at least in its current state, New York can still be quickly rebuilt in a short period of time with the help of a large amount of money.

"I never expected you to say something like that."

"Shouldn't you be blaming me?"

Tony looked at Steve with some surprise after hearing his words of comfort, and then spoke.

"I have been in war, so I know that if possible, the vast majority of ordinary people in the world would not want war to break out."

"But wars never go as planned, because some politicians will always push for wars to occur for their own benefit and make a fortune from them."

"You shouldn't have gained much from this war, so it can't be said that you initiated it."

"Of course I have no reason to blame you."

"And most importantly, we won the war, didn't we?"

Upon hearing this, Steve's expression turned somewhat complicated, and he slowly spoke.

“I understand your path, but I wouldn’t have let this war come so soon if I didn’t have the confidence to win it.”

"But Steve, you finally seem to be less of a frog in a well."

Upon hearing this, Tony's eyes flashed, and he became certain that his decision was correct. He clenched his fist and said confidently.

"I've seen many people and things that I never dared to imagine before. Even though it feels a bit surreal, I can only accept it, can't I?"

Steve paused for a moment upon hearing this, then a smile appeared on his face.

"There are more powerful beings in the universe, and Earth may face even more disasters in the future."

"Your strength is clearly insufficient to face such a future."

"If you want to seek greater power to change your destiny."

"After I've finished handling some work and other matters,..."

"You're welcome to come to me. I can't guarantee that you'll gain that person's approval."

"But if you don't get that person's approval, I can make you a suit of steel armor."

"Superpowers are usually innate and are things that are difficult for humans to control or replicate."

"However, the power brought by sufficiently advanced technology can be artificially created and controlled."

Tony saw that Steve no longer held the arrogant belief that he was the strongest, but had accepted the world where there are always people better than you, and his eyes flickered before he spoke.

"That person's approval?"

Steve was puzzled by what he heard.

"When you've thought it through, come find me and I'll explain it to you in detail."

"I still have a lot to do."

Upon hearing this, Tony glanced at Steve and said calmly.

Tony then said goodbye to Renoir and the others, and the group went back to Stark Estate together.

If Tony stayed any longer, his Iron Man armor might shatter.

Chapter 197 Parting After the War

Furthermore, Tony also wanted to thank his fellow countrymen from outer space; without their help, it would have been difficult to say whether this battle would have ended in victory or defeat.

The gift of gratitude was naturally a big meal for them.

After the war ended, S.H.I.E.L.D. also took charge of the cleanup work.

Although many of the Chitauri's flying machines were destroyed, some flying chess pieces and war machines, such as the giant tortoise, survived, though not perfectly intact. However, some important items remained.

If we could study these technologies from the Chitauri, it would accelerate the progress of human technology.

After watching Tony, who had just displayed his might, leave, Thor and Loki found a place to rest.

Having just participated in a major battle and witnessed the deaths of many humans, Thor was not in a good mood.

Because in a sense, all human beings belong to his people.

However, his strength was still somewhat insufficient, and he could not fly as easily as Tony and Renoir.

Therefore, he was not very satisfied with his performance.

However, Loki showed no signs of suddenly turning against him throughout the entire process, which offered Thor some comfort.

In fact, before the war even began, when Loki saw the Chitauri army advancing wave after wave, he did consider whether he should turn against them.

However, the strength displayed by Tony and the friends he brought along prevented Loki from betraying them.

If he were to betray them, it wouldn't be the Chitauri who would die, but him.

Tony alone is already difficult to deal with, and the people Tony brought in are all incredibly strong.

Furthermore, they also learned about the purple light emanating from Loki's body during their all-out battle.

Renoli, Kyle, the Precognizer, and Lacey, like Tony, must have received Harvey Ambellaca's blessing.

So when these guys heard that Tony wanted their help, they quickly came over.

Loki was also curious about Harvey's true identity or real name.

So he decided to investigate and see what was going on.

Although Loki had no clue about Harvey's real name, the arrival of Renoir and his companions gave him a clue to pursue the truth.

After he learns about it, he'll see if he has a chance to receive Harvey's blessing.

Renoir, the Precognizer, and Kyle are all superpowered individuals, but their superpowers shouldn't be this strong.

Their current terrifying power is definitely inseparable from the blessing bestowed upon them.

Loki was also curious about just how many people Harvey's blessing could actually be bestowed upon.

Generally speaking, there is a limit to the number of blessings that can be bestowed. Some more powerful blessings require certain qualifications and special treasures as a medium to grant others power that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Given time, Loki could investigate all of this, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"It seems you've become more accustomed to your power?"

Steve looked at Banner, who had returned to normal in just over ten minutes after the war had ended, and asked.

"No, Hulk turned back on his own."

"I'm still not used to the Hulk's power."

"But Tony is right, the Hulk is not a curse that has befallen me."

"It is a blessing that gives you more options in desperate situations."

"If used in the right place, this can be a force that protects others."

"So I want to embrace this power and become a strong person who can protect others."

Upon hearing this, Banner shook his head, touched his chest where his heart was, and said with a flicker in his eyes.

He witnessed the Chitauri killing many ordinary people. Although he couldn't save them all, he had done his best to unleash the Hulk.

The Hulk killed thousands of Chitauri.

If he could better control the Hulk within him, make the Hulk listen to his thoughts, or even completely transform into the Hulk, he should be able to do even better.

These were ideas he never dared to imagine before, but after meeting Tony and Renoir and other powerful figures.

Banner's thinking changed; he would no longer choose to run away.

If he could completely control the power within him and transform at will.

Then he won't have to be afraid when he sees a woman he likes anymore.

In the past, he missed out on a woman he loved because he couldn't fully control his power, and he doesn't want to do that again.

"Hulk's strength is indeed very powerful. I feel that the difference in strength between Hulk and them is not that great, it's just that their skills are too different."

"If you can control it perfectly, you will definitely become very strong."

"But if you want to control the transformation, you need to practice how to control it at least within Tony's sight."

"Otherwise, it could easily lead to a major disaster."

Upon hearing this, Steve patted Banner on the shoulder, offering sincere advice without a trace of jealousy.

Tony is right, superpowers cannot be controlled by humans.

His physical body is, in a sense, a product of technology, and does not belong to superpowers.

"I know, I'll go find Tony and practice properly later."

"Although I don't know when it will come in handy, it's better to be prepared."

Banner listened attentively to Steve's advice and nodded.

"Shall we go grab a drink?"

Seeing that Banner showed no arrogance whatsoever, but rather resembled a studious student, Steve smiled and said...
