I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Normally, even for superheroes with considerable abilities, completely eradicating Hydra would be extremely difficult.

Even superheroes have limited energy and lifespan.

Finding the individual members of Hydra among countless humans is like searching for a needle in a haystack—it's impossible.

However, if Tony decides to eliminate Hydra now, the outcome will be different. Not only will he have a longer lifespan, but he will also possess technology that is truly far ahead of modern times.

Steve is no longer afraid of a protracted war with Hydra, so it is imperative to eliminate Hydra and eradicate this dark and ambitious scourge from humanity.

"I'm glad you don't mind. We can discuss the details when we get back."

Upon hearing Steve's words, Banner realized that Tony and Steve now had a common enemy, and spoke up.

Although Banner had never met any Hydra members, he would certainly lend a hand whenever he could, since he had nothing better to do.

"Okay, see you later."

"And thank Tony with me."

"Thank him for giving Bucky a chance to die with dignity."

Upon hearing this, Steve smiled and then hung up the call.

Upon hearing this, Banner left the control room and went outside the gravity building, where he quickly found Tony playing by throwing stones by the river.

What did Steve say?

Sensing Banner's arrival, Tony asked.

"He didn't say anything, except that I asked Steve to keep the Mind Stone safe for now, and we'll discuss the specifics when we get back."

"Also, Steve asked me to tell you that thank you for giving Bucky Barnes the opportunity to die with dignity."

Banner came up behind Tony and spoke.

“I know he was a good friend of Steve’s in the past, and the deaths of my parents cannot be entirely blamed on the uncontrollable Bucky Barnes.”

“But before my parents died, I thought they were just going out normally, so I didn’t think much of it.”

"So after I received the devastating news about them, I have always felt some regret, regret that I didn't say goodbye to them properly."

"Now that I know they were murdered, if I remain indifferent, I will be letting my parents down."

"Now that Bucky Barnes is dead, I'm not entirely sure if it can be said that he avenged them."

"I wonder if Steve will have a significant rift with me from now on."

"But this is still something I have to do and face."

Upon hearing Banner's words, Tony casually tossed the pebble in his hand, letting it bounce a few times on the river's surface, and slowly spoke with a somewhat complicated expression.

His life since birth can be described as smooth sailing from the very beginning.

She has a very intelligent and handsome father, a gentle mother, and comes from a distinguished family.

However, even with a privileged background, he wasn't as powerful as Harvey, so life would always have its disappointments and unforgettable regrets.

So all he can do is try to make up for his regrets to the best of his ability, even though he knows that this won't allow him to truly let go.

"Life is full of disappointments, but just keep doing what you believe is right and keep your mind at peace."

"You also know that what the Void God Cult fears most is having unresolved inner conflicts, and trying to resolve them only leads to more distracting thoughts."

Banner knew that Tony's mood hadn't improved immediately, so he spoke up.

"I hope that in the future I will encounter fewer of these dilemmas of choosing between family and friendship."

Tony spoke up after hearing Banner's words of comfort.

Since joining the Void, he has rarely encountered anything that has caused him great distress, and he has always been moving forward according to his plan.

The news Steve brought, however, made him feel conflicted for the first time in a long time. On one hand, there was the hatred for his parents, and on the other hand, there was the friendship between him and Steve.

Ultimately, he chose a more moderate approach.

So far, Steve has made a choice that makes him happy, and he has received Steve's thanks.

Their friendship doesn't seem to have been affected much.

However, this is only on the surface. Whether it will have any lasting impact will only be known after a face-to-face meeting and conversation.

"Yes, compared to encountering powerful enemies like you, it is the most difficult decision to make when faced with a situation that is not based on strength but on feelings."

Banner nodded slightly upon hearing Tony's words and spoke.

Chapter 319 The World's Trajectory Has Changed

After talking with Banner for a while, Tony returned to the gravity chamber.

Thor and Loki emerged from the gravity chamber, drenched in sweat after their training session.

Tony then took the two of them back to the lab to shower and rest.

Thor did not notice anything unusual about Tony.

However, Loki noticed that Tony seemed to be in a bad mood.

It's impossible to say that we don't welcome them, that we feel they've been here too long, and that we want them to leave but don't dare to say it.

After all, Tony isn't the type to be afraid to refuse people; otherwise, he wouldn't have let him go so easily last time.

If it wasn't because they had stayed there for too long, then what could it be? Loki had no idea.

So Loki could only think about it in his mind and didn't ask any more questions.

※※※※※※※

Harvey also noticed Tony's conversation with Banner.

Although Harvey didn't see the whole picture, he did hear bits and pieces about Bucky Barnes' death through Tony and Banner's words.

Harvey knew that Steve hadn't kept it from Tony, thus sowing the seeds of even greater trouble later.

Instead, he told Tony about Bucky Barnes' news and actions.

He realized that Steve must also have a lot more to worry about.

If it were before, after Steve discovered his friend Bucky Barnes...

Because this is the only friend I've had from the past to the present, I tend to act more impulsively.

Even if it meant breaking ties with Tony, who had become his friend, and causing the Avengers to fall apart, he still wanted to save Bucky.

Although the point that broke up the Avengers was a series of problems caused by the Sokovia Act and other different factors.

However, Steve's falling out with Tony was almost certainly because of Bucky Barnes.

To be honest, in Harvey's opinion, Steve's behavior was extremely irrational.

Because the Stark family also had a very close relationship with Steve.

Steve's father was both his mentor and friend, while Tony became his close friend with Steve through the formation of the Avengers.

But Steve broke up with Tony without much hesitation for Bucky Barnes.

However, now that Steve has not only joined the Void, he also has Peggy Carter to worry about, which makes Steve have some concerns.

This concern will prevent Steve from doing anything irrational due to momentary impulse.

"It seems Steve has changed quite a bit..."

Harvey thought to himself thoughtfully.

Harvey was originally quite interested in seeing the clash between Tony and Steve.

However, in terms of strength, Tony joined a few years earlier and had access to the more advanced technology in the universe.

Unless Tony takes a break now, it's unlikely that Steve will face off against a serious Tony for the next few years, or even a decade.

Although Captain America Steve Rogers has a reputation for being able to go toe-to-toe with any opponent.

But in reality, Steve himself is not very strong. When facing many powerful enemies, he often has to fight even if he knows he can't win.

Because Tony and Banner often let them down, Steve sometimes knew that if he didn't step in, the other humans would be even less likely to fight against the enemies they encountered.

That's why Steve, who came from afar, constantly honed and improved his skills at the boxing gym.

I hope to possess greater power so that when facing more unknown crises and enemies in the future, I can contribute my share and save more humanity.

But now Steve faces a different situation; he can rely on more than just himself.

Tony and Banner are both very reliable. Not only are they extremely powerful, but after stepping into the world of the strong and seeing the vast universe, they have not forgotten their original intention to protect Earth.

Even if we have arguments and disagreements, we are on the same page in terms of general direction.

This meant Steve had a reliable teammate, which may have caused a significant change in his behavior.

However, if Steve and Tony reconcile on this point and avoid causing future trouble, then the Avengers Civil War should not have happened.

The trajectory of the world has changed, causing some things that should have happened to change as well.

However, events that were not affected should remain unchanged, so interesting things to happen on Earth will have to wait until 2016.

That is, when Stephen Strange is born.

Although the Ancient One was highly sought after, Harvey preferred to associate with Odin rather than have too much involvement with her.

Harvey knew Asgard, but he didn't know much about the Ancient One.

If you try to make contact with the Ancient One, whom you don't know very well, you might get yourself into trouble. Magic isn't just about powerful abilities; it also includes some strange and unusual sealing techniques.

Harvey is very strong now, but he is far from being invincible.

So there's no need for Harvey to specifically talk to the Ancient One.

However, he could try to contact Stephen Strange.

Because Stephen Strange, the new Sorcerer Supreme, is relatively young and has a modern mindset.

Most importantly, since Stephen Strange has just taken office, there are still many things he doesn't understand about the universe, so he might as well try to fool him.

As for Stephen Strange's hands, which were injured in a car accident, magic can only maintain but not completely heal them, but joining the Void would be a different story.

Healing Stephen Strange's hands would be a piece of cake.

Furthermore, if Stephen Strange were recruited, he could be appointed as the Supreme Mage of the Void Cult, making it easier for other members of the Void Cult to become stronger.
