[Chapter 385 Black Widow Comes to Surrender]
David did not rush to the Marvel Universe to start the journey of collecting infinite gems. In fact, he did not need to rush.
Originally, he wanted Tony to take enough free time to slowly tinker with the quantum space positioning device, but Tony was always busy and started a new project before a plan was completely completed. It was
unknown when Tony would be free, so David decided to cheat:
let Steve use the Time Stone to take Tony to see what the quantum positioning device was, and then directly copy it.
Then go to various parallel universes through quantum space to collect infinite gems.
Entering the quantum space requires cooperation with Ant-Man, which is not a bad thing for the old Ant-Man. After all, his wife is still trapped there, and he has always wanted to rescue his wife!
Tony cannot be asked to negotiate with the old Ant-Man, because the old Ant-Man has always believed that the Stark family wants to steal his technology and has a big prejudice against the Stark family.
With Tony’s temper, he can fight with the old Ant-Man on the spot as long as he chats with him for a few words.
Therefore, this job had to be handed over to Steve. After all, he was still the commander of the Avengers, and this action was strictly a just act to protect the world. It was Captain America’s job to negotiate with all parties.
Thinking of this, David realized one thing: his original plan was to go to the parallel universe and snatch the Soul Stone from Thanos, and the other stones didn’t matter.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the other stones can also be obtained from other parallel universes, and he has no need to go all over the universe to get the “Infinity Stones of this world”.
He even thought of which period of Infinity Stones is best to collect, and there is no trouble: the moment Thanos snapped his fingers and arrived at the retirement planet, he directly attacked and killed Thanos, and got all six stones at once, isn’t it beautiful?
Otherwise, he would have to go to Asgard to get the Cosmic Cube, go to Xandar to get the Cosmic Spirit Sphere, and go to the Void to find the collector for the Aether Particles.
He has no friendship with the Nova Corps on Xandar, and it may cause misunderstandings.
The collector in the void is not easy to mess with. Thanos can get the ether particles from the collector. There may be some conspiracy behind it… Uh… In this case, I won’t destroy the various plans of some powerful people and be hated by them, right?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I can’t take the initiative to deliver it to the door.
Decisive abandonment of the original plan, and adopt a new plan: simple, direct and efficient.
David only needs to tell Steve the plan, and then he just needs to wait for Tony and Hank Pym to make all the preparations.
In order to avoid forgetting, David immediately went to the Marvel Universe to find Steve and told him about his new arrangement.
“…”
After listening to David’s plan, Steve was quite speechless. Is this using the time gem as a cheat?
If so, will the timeline be broken into pieces?
However, Steve believed that the timeline he was in should have been turned into slag long ago, so he did not express any objection and simply agreed.
Anyway, he was about to be unable to continue as the Supreme Sorcerer. When Strange grew up, he could smoothly hand over the job.
If he is lucky, he won’t even have to worry about Dormammu’s invasion, and naturally there will be the ‘greatest and most outstanding Supreme Sorcerer’ Stephen Strange to deal with it.
“Speaking of which… I heard from Thor that when you went to Clark’s world last time, you claimed to be a member of the Multiverse Avengers? Are you going to develop the Avengers to other worlds?”
“That was in Clark’s universe. Here I am the representative of the Multiverse Justice League on Earth in this universe.”
David gave Steve a speechless look. Others don’t know, but you don’t know what the situation is? I just put on a vest to fool those politicians.
But the point of Steve’s bringing up this topic is not to complain, but David’s approach gave him an inspiration.
He is about to step down as the Supreme Sorcerer, but he still shoulders the responsibilities of the Avengers Commander and one of the leaders of Hydra.
Let’s not talk about the Avengers. Today, when SHIELD has not collapsed, the Avengers are living a comfortable life.
Tony, who is most likely to cause trouble, is busy with David’s various scientific research work and has no time to cause trouble. Therefore, the people on Earth in this world admire and praise the Avengers, and there is no great dissatisfaction.
And because SHIELD has not collapsed, the Avengers are still an official team, and no politicians have come to trouble them.
But Steve knows that this situation cannot be maintained for a long time. Naturally, many people will jump out over time. These people have different purposes, but they will cause trouble for the Avengers.
What if the Avengers are given another halo?
Just like David, choose an advanced civilization in the universe and attach the Avengers to a higher-level civilization, so that politicians on Earth dare not provoke them at will.
For example, Asgard?
No matter what the official earth thinks, in the eyes of the advanced civilization of the universe, the earth is an uncivilized native protected by Asgard.
Steve even thinks that he can take advantage of the situation to whitewash the part of Hydra’s men who follow him, and it is also interesting to transform them into the Justice League.
“It’s a good idea, but how do you plan to make Asgard and the Justice League appear reasonably?”
Going to Clark himself could make the Avengers appear, because he chose the time when the Kryptonians invaded the earth.
Although General Zod did not cause much damage to the earth because of his interference, the powerful Kryptonians were clearly seen by the earthlings. These people wanted to occupy the earth, and the earth army had no ability to resist them at all. The Marvel
Universe was more troublesome, because Tony did not tinker with Ultron, and Hydra was not exposed, making the whole world relatively peaceful, and nothing big happened recently.
Steve thought about it and finally decided to sacrifice his colleagues: “It seems that other snake heads have to come out and sacrifice.”
“…”
David suddenly had a strange feeling that the captain of Hydra in front of him was the real conspirator who was about to subvert the whole world. Could it be that the Steve he knew was originally a Hydra?
“You can decide these things yourself.”
After explaining the matter, David chatted with Tony for a few words and learned that Tony would go to Winter City in a few days and was ready to end the communication and return to Winter City. As a result,
as soon as he stood up, Steve said that he had something else to do, so David had to sit back.
David filled up the empty teacup and took a sip, then put on an attitude of “If you have something to say, please speak up!”
“Clint is considering retiring.”
“Then?”
Calculating the time, Hawkeye has indeed been preparing for retirement in the past few years, and has even made various preparations before retirement.
However, what does this have to do with David?
As an agent of SHIELD, Hawkeye’s treatment is not bad, including retirement, which should be arranged by Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, right?
Sure enough, the next sentence is the key.
“Natasha saw that her good partner was ready to retire, and she also had the idea of retiring.”
“Oh~”
This time David understood, Natasha’s situation is very special, her desire to retire is not as simple as Hawkeye Clint Barton.
Natasha is not very old, and is at the peak age of an agent. She retires at this time? Will Fury agree?
Thinking deeper, with Natasha’s background, even if Fury agrees, there will be a lot of people who will not agree.
So, Natasha found Steve here? Or has Black Widow already set her sights on Winter City? Did she just use Steve to tell him about this?
“Natasha’s early retirement is a huge loss for the Avengers, right?”
“In fact, the Avengers are now a pure combat team. Natasha is more responsible for logistics and liaison work here, and her role in SHIELD is to keep in touch with the Avengers, so she doesn’t find it interesting…”
“I see.”
David took another sip of tea and realized that Natasha’s retirement was fake, and leaving SHIELD was her real idea.
After the New York War, although she spent a considerable amount of time with the Avengers, the intimacy between them was still not as good as in the original plot.
The Black Widow in this world is only familiar with Hawkeye. Captain America stays in Kamar-Taj for a long time. In his free time, he has to go to Hydra to check on his subordinates’ work, and only occasionally goes to the Avengers Building.
There is no original Insight Project event, and the relationship between him and Black Widow is just an ordinary comrade-in-arms.
Tony Stark goes to outer space every day and is basically invisible. Even if he meets this agent and a great inventor, there is no topic to talk about.
Thor was addicted to Jane’s gentleness. When he stayed on Earth, he was with Jane Foster. He could only see her when he was on a mission.
The only one left was Bruce Banner. Dr. Banner was the second most familiar person to Natasha after Hawkeye. She also learned from Banner that he wanted to move to Winter City, but was delayed by Tony’s various research work.
It was at that time that Natasha had the idea of “going to Winter City to live an ordinary life, it seems to be a good choice”. This idea
began to thrive as Clint prepared to retire, and now it has begun to be put into action.
“You know I’m adjusting and strengthening the intelligence department, right?” David thought for a few seconds and decided to make it clear to Steve to avoid misunderstandings in the future: “If Natasha, such an excellent intelligence officer, really goes to Winter City, I will most likely let her join the intelligence department.”
“No matter what, that’s her choice.” Steve believes that as long as David doesn’t force Natasha to do something she doesn’t want to do, then the future of Black Widow can’t be worse than staying in this world.
Based on Steve’s understanding of David, the Duke of Winter is not that kind of person.
“Let’s make an appointment so that Natasha and I can talk in person.”
