"You voluntarily gave up your human identity, joined the Void God Cult, and became a monster, thereby gaining powerful strength. This was your choice."

"I have no problem with that."

"But since you are no longer human, now go back to the Void God Cult."

"Blue Planet has no need for traitors to humanity."

"Although you have already made a move, let's consider that you haven't made a serious mistake yet."

"As long as you abandon your plans, leave Earth, and guarantee that the Void Cult will never again target Earth."

"Then I can spare your life."

When Captain Marvel Carol Danvers saw Tony Stark's aura suddenly change and that he had anticipated her arrival, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she still immediately issued a declaration of expulsion.

"Go back to the Void God Cult?"

"A traitor to humanity who voluntarily chooses to join the Void God Cult is a monster?"

"Hahaha~ Do you even know what you're saying?"

Tony saw Captain Marvel immediately issue an expulsion order, his words revealing his disdain for joining the Cult of the Void.

He had originally intended to have a good talk with Captain Marvel.

If Captain Marvel understands, then they might not have to fight each other, and could even cooperate.

However, as soon as he said those words, Tony for some reason immediately stopped thinking that way.

I don't want to repeat myself.

"Your strength is useless against me."

"Leaving Earth is your only option for survival."

Captain Marvel, hearing the deafening laughter and looking at Tony Stark, who exuded a terrifyingly violent aura, frowned and spoke.

Regardless of their relative strength.

"Captain Marvel, do as you just said."

"In other words, because the power you possess is not something you actively chose to have, but something you were forced to have passively or even under duress, you cannot be considered a monster."

"And those of us who joined the Void God Cult to become powerful are the kind of people who actively choose to become monsters?"

Tony looked at Captain Marvel with a mocking expression upon hearing this.

"Not only that, I was forced to passively obtain power and then used it for good."

"But you use your power for crooked ways and to bully the weak. That's the difference between us."

"But I didn't come here to have a long talk with you."

"Traitors to humanity, get back to the Void God Cult!"

Captain Marvel Carol Danvers' words exuded an air of dominance.

"You're not here to have a long talk with me, but I do want to have a chat with you."

“If it is not a matter of sharing the same goals, then using greater strength to kill those weaker than oneself, or to resolve or prevent the actions of those weaker, is considered bullying.”

"Aren't you doing things now using even greater power to achieve your desired goals?"

"How are you any different from me?"

"Just because you think you're stronger, you can claim to be righteous based on your own preferences and understanding without knowing the truth, and then arbitrarily define others as evil?"

Tony's words seemed to be a rhetorical question, but they were full of sarcasm.

Chapter 478 Hypocrisy

In the world of the strong, there is no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak.

The strong have the ability to set rules and define whether their actions are right or wrong, but these are merely the rules of the world of the strong, and do not necessarily represent what is truly right.

As the old saying goes, history is written by the victors, and the losers have no right to write it.

If Captain Marvel hadn't called him a monster, Tony Stark wouldn't have bothered arguing with her about who was right.

However, Captain Marvel is engaging in what she calls bullying behavior without realizing it, and is making outrageous remarks about others.

Tony felt that Captain Marvel's arrogance wasn't just ordinary arrogance, but bordered on foolishness.

Captain Marvel's behavior, to put it bluntly, is about finding a legitimate excuse to do whatever she wants without feeling uneasy.

Tony is all too familiar with this method.

Even if one is not strong, as a weak person facing things that one knows are not just or even unacceptable, one will often find a reason to justify one's actions.

This is to prevent one's conscience from feeling guilty or uneasy.

Tony wants to pave the way for humanity to enter the interstellar age, and even though he knows that this will be recognized by the vast majority of humanity, he does not believe that he is absolutely righteous and correct.

He may receive much admiration in the future and be regarded as a great man of humanity, but there will certainly be people who despise him.

So whether others fear him or see him as a great man or a demon, he deserves it.

Money is such a useful thing, but not everyone likes it; there will always be some people who regard it as worthless paper.

Money can't make everyone like you, so Tony certainly wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he's perfect and can make everyone like him.

The reason he could think this way was that he was also incredibly arrogant, but within that arrogance he always retained a degree of self-awareness.

However, Captain Marvel Carol Danvers lacks this self-awareness.

A hypocrite who presents himself as a righteous person, but will do things that are contrary to justice in order to achieve his own goals.

Tony understands now.

Why did Carol Danvers's words make his desire to chat about ideals with her vanish instantly?

Since joining the Void God Cult, although the people he met had different personalities, they were all honest and sincere with each other.

This made him no longer accustomed to the normal and ubiquitous discrepancies in conversations and rules that existed in past interpersonal interactions, where everyone had their own ulterior motives.

It is a well-known truth that being common does not necessarily mean being correct.

People just need to adapt to those rules in order to integrate into certain circles.

People inherently prefer communication that involves less suspicion.

"I am different from you."

Captain Marvel Carol Danvers' expression changed upon hearing Tony's sarcastic remarks, and she immediately retorted.

"Then tell me, what exactly is the difference between us?"

"To the people you killed, aren't you just bullying the weak?"

"Do you expect the other party to be grateful to you for stopping my plans and killing me?"

"And you dare to talk about justice and evil with this?"

"To put it bluntly, it's all about their respective positions."

"I did this so that my plan could be implemented smoothly."

"You listened to your friend Nick Fury and wanted to help your friend stop my plan."

"Everyone is just acting in their own self-interest."

"Don't stand on that moral high ground and talk big, claiming to be righteous and making arbitrary judgments about others."

"The most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness."

"Whether the people of our Void God Cult are monsters or not is not for you, someone who has never truly understood them and has made a conclusion based on your own arrogant, foolish, and ignorant views."

Tony's eyes revealed contempt, and his words were full of sarcasm, as if he were talking to a pathetic ant.

He doesn't mind being seen as a devil or a monster by some people.

Because in terms of physical body, strength, and lifespan, he is no longer a human being.

However, this only applies to the physical body, strength, and lifespan.

Judging from his personality, style, and deeds, Tony never considered himself to be a monster in essence.

The Cult of the Void also defines monsters in this way.

Only those who succumb to the abyss of lust for power, losing all reason and knowing only how to evolve, relentlessly devouring and evolving without regard for anything else, will become monsters.

As long as you remain rational and can know and control your thoughts and actions, you will always be an intelligent being.

This is the difference between rationality and irrationality.

Captain Marvel cannot be judged based on her appearance, lifespan, or strength.

Rather, they became monsters from the moment they chose to join the Cult of the Void.

Tony would absolutely not agree with this.

"..."

Carol Danvers clenched her fists, her mind filled with many things she wanted to say in her defense, but before she could utter a word, she knew how pale and powerless her words would be.

※※※※※※※

Inside Harvey's villa.

"Tony Stark really knows how to talk."

Odin was somewhat taken aback to see Carol Danvers left with no room for rebuttal.

"The most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness, and I wholeheartedly agree with these words."

Harvey spoke up upon hearing this.

"Yes, I like it too."

"But Tony didn't even explain his ideals to Captain Marvel."

"It seems Tony has no intention of trying to get Captain Marvel to understand and help him."

Odin nodded upon hearing this, also extremely pleased, but he hadn't yet heard Tony reveal his ideals, though he had vaguely gleaned some information from him.

Even he wouldn't dare say a good word for Captain Marvel now.
