I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Tony Stark spread his hands in response.

“Mr. Tony Stark, it’s actually because of the existence of aliens.”

"Therefore, the current situation of Earth is not optimistic."

Upon hearing these uncertain words, Coulson hesitated for a moment before deciding to reveal more information.

"I already know that. Isn't that Grim Reaper you mentioned from the void?"

"And when he spoke to me for a few minutes, he also talked about the universe."

"To say that my technology is only powerful and advanced compared to humanity is still too weak compared to the universe."

Tony Stark waved his hand dismissively, his eyes showing some displeasure.

Since he took over Stark Industries, he has invented advanced technologies for mankind time and time again.

He had always been proud of it, but then the Grim Reaper said that his technology was still too rubbish, which he could not possibly accept.

"Mr. Tony Stark, didn't you want to know why our department arranged to meet with Mr. Death?"

"Before I explain this, there is something I need to tell you: decades ago, aliens visited Earth."

"On that occasion, a superhero with superpowers appeared on Earth, helping humanity successfully defend against the alien invasion."

"The time when aliens existed is unknown, but it is certain that their technology was more advanced and sophisticated."

"They possess technologies such as space jumps and space battleships, which are currently beyond the reach of humanity on our planet."

"It was from that time that my superior, Nick Fury, wanted to create the Avengers to guard against the threat posed by the arrival of aliens in the future."

Coulson sensed Tony Stark's resentment and, wanting to win him over, began to explain.

"You've come to me instead of looking for superpowered individuals, so it seems your progress isn't going well."

After listening to this long speech, Tony Stark immediately grasped the meaning behind Coulson's words.

"Yes, superpowered individuals have indeed appeared on Earth in the past, proving that there are other superpowered individuals among humans as well."

"But humans are a xenophobic race, and they also fear being seen as different by others. People with superpowers almost always hide themselves, making them very difficult to discover and find."

"You've also seen some of the rumors and records that Death has circulated on the dark web."

"Some of the tasks he accomplished were beyond the scope of human capabilities."

"After investigation and discussion, we unanimously believe that Mr. Death is very likely a powerful individual with superpowers."

"Even if he isn't a superhuman, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary people."

"Therefore, we met with him a few months ago."

“Until he appeared, we had no idea how long he had been there, or how he had gotten there.”

"In a sense, we've come to the right place. Mr. Death is indeed a powerful figure whose strength is impossible to judge."

"But unfortunately, he is not a human from Earth, but an alien."

When Coulson talked about these things, his face was filled with emotion and disappointment.

He has followed Director Fury for nearly twenty years. Director Fury rose through the ranks to become the director, and his agent rank has also been continuously promoted during these twenty years. Currently, he is an agent with a relatively high position and authority within the agency.

While carrying out missions, they also investigate various strange events, and after decades, they finally find a person with superpowers.

Coulson was naturally overjoyed, but what followed only added to his disappointment.

They also learned that the legendary god-king Odin might not have much time left.

Earth may no longer have any protection if we don't find some powerful heroes to form the Avengers and have some countermeasures.

At that time, humanity will most likely face slaughter or even enslavement by aliens.

However, Commander Fury had instructed not to spread the news that Odin might die soon.

Because if what Mr. Death said is true, then Odin, the King of Gods, and the Aesir have always been protecting Earth.

When the Aesir actually arrived on Earth, they were saying that Odin, the king of the gods, was nearing the end of his life.

So even if the Aesir originally wanted to protect humanity, they would still become enemies with them.

Tony Stark realized that what Coulson said was true, because the emotion and disappointment on Coulson's face were undeniable.

"So you came to me because you thought I suddenly had superpowers, which is why I was able to escape from Afghanistan?"

However, after Tony Stark put himself in Coulson's shoes and considered the meaning behind his words, he immediately understood.

"Yes, but I never imagined that you, Mr. Tony Stark, would rely on your brilliant mind to create an Iron Man suit that rivals the latest fighter jet models."

"Although you are not a superpowered person, you are equivalent to a superpowered person in my eyes."

Upon hearing this, Coulson did not hide anything and directly expressed his feelings and admiration.

"According to your bureau's operational policy, we are specifically investigating people who may have superpowers."

"So you had contact with Harvey Ambellaca before, which means?"

Tony Stark accepted the admiration and praise without feeling embarrassed at all, and then, as if remembering something, asked a question.

“That’s right. We previously speculated that Mr. Harvey Ambellaca might be a superhuman.”

"Because he seems to be blessed by Lady Luck, even if his superpowers aren't related to combat, they might still come in handy."

Coulson nodded in response, answering almost every question, as these were not top-secret information.

"So what was the result?"

When Tony Stark heard that Coulson and that guy from the Homeland Security Bureau just thought Harvey Ambellaca was simply lucky, like he had before, his eyes flashed.

"Based on the results of the two encounters, we have determined that Harvey Ambella does not possess superpowers."

Upon hearing this, Coulson shook his head slightly and said with some regret.

"No...?"

This answer reminded Tony Stark of some conversations he had with Harvey Ambellaca on the balcony outside the ball.

The calm and indifference that Harvey Ambellaca unintentionally revealed when he talked about Obadiah Stanislavski.

It was as if Obadiah Stanislavsky was truly as insignificant as trash in Javier Ambellaca's eyes.

Harvey Ambellaca seems to have some kind of backing.

Regardless of whether Harvey Ambéla or not, it's clear that Tony Stark Harvey Ambéla had no intention of joining the Avengers.

"I understand what you mean. Earth is in a crisis, and your bureau wants to create the Avengers to jointly resist any possible alien invasion in the future."

"However, Stark Industries is currently undergoing a transformation, and I also have a lot of things to do."

"So I need to think about joining the Avengers some more."

"However, if any major disasters or potential threats occur on Earth, you can contact me and perhaps I can lend you a hand."

Tony Stark thought of this and looked at Coulson.

The appearance of that Grim Reaper forced Tony Stark to believe that there were extraterrestrials in the universe, and that those extraterrestrials had already quietly arrived on Earth.

Therefore, he needs to find a way to get Stark Industries back on track as soon as possible so that he can devote himself to the research of Iron Man armor.

Unfortunately, he didn't know what abilities and strength the Grim Reaper possessed, so he couldn't create a suit of armor specifically for him.

However, since Death is on Earth, he will surely find out one day; hopefully, that day won't be too late.

“Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Tony Stark.”

Upon hearing Tony Stark's response, Coulson stood up.

After thanking him, Coulson also said goodbye and left.

Coulson was in a very good mood; although Tony Stark hadn't joined directly, he had still received a promise.

If a major disaster really occurs in the future, there will be opportunities to join forces, proving that his contacts during this trip were, in a sense, quite successful.

With a good start, it won't be long before Tony Stark officially joins the Avengers.

Chapter 21 This is harassment

"Tony, what did you and Mr. Coulson talk about?"

After Pepper saw Coulson leave on the first floor, he saw Tony head straight for the basement and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, we just had a good chat about the current situation and future of Earth."

Tony Stark gave a perfunctory reply and took the elevator directly down to the underground.

Even a genius like Coulson had to have witnessed Death firsthand before he could accept the matter so quickly.

If it were an ordinary person like Pepper who understood and believed this, he would have had to waste countless hours explaining.

After convincing Pepper, he might say things like he doesn't want him to go to the battlefield.

Tony Stark's words, though seemingly perfunctory, were undoubtedly true. In summary, their conversation revolved around the future of Earth.

Pepper, however, was clearly not satisfied with Tony Stark's perfunctory attitude, so he took the initiative to follow him, wanting to ask Tony Stark a proper question.

Tony Stark already had a knack for dealing with Pepper, so the two started bickering back and forth.

※※※※※※※

the other side

Last night, Harvey Ambellaca contacted him through Tony Stark.

He already knew that Tony Stark had dealt with Obadiah Stanislav, and that Iron Monger was clearly not coming out.

Without Obadiah Stanislavski's intervention, it would be impossible for anyone else to build the Arc Reactor in a short period of time.

So for the next period of time, things will be calm and peaceful.

Of course, the calm was only relative to Harvey; for everyone else, New York was never peaceful.

Tony Stark won't be settling down anytime soon.

Given Tony Stark's personality, once he finds out he can arrange a meeting through the internet, he'll definitely contact me afterwards.

Now he just needs to wait patiently.

As for why Harvey didn't answer Tony Stark's call last night, there was no important reason and he wasn't busy.
