In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1405: The old days return (4)
In front of the round Zen window, the light was dim and soft, coating the outlines of the two men with a halo, Stark looked at the angry expression on Strange's face with some puzzlement.
In fact, he has rarely seen Stephen so angry. It is common knowledge that Strange has a bad temper. fault.
But it seems that this is the first time Stark has seen him get really angry. Strange in a suit stood up directly from the sofa. Yes, he didn't wear a robe, and Stark rarely saw him Strange wears robes, and it seems that the only time he wears the Garment of the Sorcerer Supreme is for large-scale combat scenes.
He wears a suit most of the time, but it doesn't seem to be to show that he is a high-class person. Stark vaguely remembers that he seems to have said that he hates casual clothes, mainly because he hates the relaxation brought by casual clothes Feeling, maybe the robe is too loose for him.
How in the world would anyone hate relaxing?
Stark's knowledge of psychology and behavior tells him that there is a type of people who need constant anxiety and tension, and this most often occurs in professions that matter a lot, one of the typical ones is surgery doctor.
In Stark's profile of Strange, there is no doubt that he is a psychopath comparable to Schiller. This pair of doctors has the same mental disorder and the same moral bottomless .
The scene written in Stark's angry notebook is because Captain America Steve is his friend, even Captain America in another world should not suffer this catastrophe and be turned into a monster, his anger is quite Justified and justified.
But Strange and Steve are not easy to deal with, they are also the typical conflict between civil servants and security personnel, Strange thinks Steve is reckless, Steve thinks Strange is hypocritical, Not to mention Steve from another universe, in which case Strange should be gloating, and he is.
Where is the turning point? It seems that in the scene recorded in the notebook, Captain America Steve, who turned into a monster, was easily teased by the owner of the notebook and an unknown animal.
Strange thinks Steve is too weak?
Stark thought of what Strange said at the end, they paid so much, but only got so little, so did he think this deal was unfair?
But that is also a matter of another universe. As for making him react so much? And what happened in the previous dream universe, isn't Strange's view a little too extreme?
When Stark asked this question, Strange, who was standing next to the shelf, could hardly suppress the anger and viciousness in his tone. He said like a poisonous snake spitting out venom:
"What really infuriates and humiliates me is that the humans in that dream universe gave away their bodies, their wits, their character and got nothing in return - normal social order, huh?"
"Can I praise these idiots and remember self-deception? Can I write a hymn to them or their representatives for cowardly selling everything for a scrap? All I can say is 'Damn Idiots!', **** them! Only this!"
"Too extreme." Stark commented rather conservatively.
"Not enough! Tony Stark!" Strange turned around, stared into Stark's eyes and asked, "You have also been a businessman, I ask you, when you put a Who do you hate the most when the product sells for a hundred yuan but no one buys it?"
"A buyer who doesn't know the goods?" Stark said tentatively, but he was not very good at doing business.
"Wrong, it's the one who sells fifty yuan!" Strange gritted his teeth and said, "The reason they have to die is that they have lowered the commodities we can trade, including human appearance, wisdom , The price of quality! They used their humbleness to feed the appetite of the group of gods, making them think that I was asking prices!""
Strange took a deep breath, and further explained: "Human beings must be valuable enough, mine, all supreme mages, all mages, and the hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys of human civilization must be valuable enough! This is All the bargaining chips, I only care about this!"
"Whoever kneels first will die, it's that simple!"
Stark is silent. As the largest capitalist in the United States and now in the world, he also has another capitalist in his mind. He and they understand better than anyone else how much benefit a joint monopoly can bring. Well, that's what all the Supreme Mages are doing - kidnapping all humans in a sense, and then sitting on the ground to raise the price.
Any demon **** who wants to reach out to human beings must go through the sheep-killing knife of the supreme mage, which is the magical defense network covering the earth, shed enough blood and leave enough benefits, and then the mage takes them to go. Ask for a higher price, which is how Karma Taj has worked for thousands of years.
If the demon **** wants to invade the earth by force to plunder humans, he will find that what he plunders is far less than what he can consume in a battle with mages, because mages will fight **** battles to the end. If you can't get it, it's not worth it at all, so you can only sit down and talk, as the saying goes, get slaughtered.
This has been established for thousands of years. Today, almost no demon **** will suddenly have the idea of attacking the earth by force. To a certain extent, they have been domesticated by rules and order.
But if there is a different kind among them, allowing the gods to easily get what they want, it will cause all other demon gods to have alienation and the ambition to replace them.
Strange walked back to the single chair and sat down, the anger seemed to have been digested by him, but a deeper coldness emerged from his face, cold and mournful, indifferent and pity.
Too contradictory, Stark thought, but surprisingly harmonious.
"They not only sell their own interests cheaply, but also ours. When they make a deal—I'm sorry, whether they are voluntary or not, they are no longer the same kind, and I will destroy them."
Stark was sure that Strange didn't feel guilty when he said this, not the slightest bit.
The expression on Stark's face slowly changed, and another deeper thing that did not belong to him emerged on his face, it was another darker soul, and he almost couldn't wait to join In this conversation, he asked in that deep tone:
"Even if it's against fairness?"
"It is foolish to seek justice from the Demon God."
"I mean the destroyed human beings."
"Similarly stupid, the trolley problem, I choose to kill one because I have no morals."
A straightforward answer that makes Batman choke. People in this world are frighteningly simple, rude, and righteous.
"Even if that 'one' might be yourself someday?"
"I will rob power to prevent myself from being tied up. If I am almost lucky, then adjust my posture to derail the train that killed me, and everyone will die together, also because I have no morals."
Equally selfish and arrogant beyond reproach.
If a person has no morals, then there is no moral dilemma. Whoever implicates me deserves to die. As long as I don’t die, it doesn’t matter who dies. A perfectly logical closed loop of a moral vacuum.
"Then are you protecting all 'human beings'? Or the human beings on this earth in a narrow sense?" Batman asked again.
"I am one with the human beings on this earth, I am them, and they are me." Strange didn't hesitate at all.
"Do you think you represent them?"
"I'm not a party leader." Strange began to show complete impatience, as if the person opposite him asked a stupid question.
"Do you still want to say that even if there is a human who disagrees with me, I cannot represent them? Do you still want to say that we should establish a Kama Taj opposition party, and then the two of us will take turns to govern, so that Can it represent the will of all people, is it true democracy?”
"There is no such democracy! I am completely one with human beings because I don't need to do these things, do you understand? I can let the demon gods plunder at will, and they can't hurt me anyway. My contribution is my position, my justice This is my democracy!"
A very powerful statement, but Batman can still find holes in it. He is very good at these logical games and confident that no one can beat him.
"Of course you will not let it go, because you are also enjoying the order of the earth, and you are not just paying and sacrificing unilaterally." Batman pointed out.
"Of course, I'm not that great."
"Then your contribution is not only defending the public interest, but also defending the self-interest, then human beings don't need to accept your favor."
"Of course."
The people of this universe have a frankness that confuses Batman. Whether it's a yes or no answer, they don't leave a bit of middle value, and they don't understand the reason for leaving room for conversation.
"Then why do you..."
"Because I have no morals."
The loop is closed again.
"I will not portray myself as a great person who is dedicated to the public. Whether you believe it or not, I don't care about fame, and I don't care how people who are destroyed or survived by my choices think of me."
Strange leaned forward, elbows on his knees, and looked into Stark's eyes, or rather Batman's eyes.

"
Ultimate idealism, this is easy to understand, so Batman said: "I understand."-but he actually understood it, better than anyone.
They are like looking in a mirror, but also like an enemy because of Batman's stronger sense of morality at the other extreme than anyone else.
After Batman left, Stark, who listened to their conversation, was also thoughtful, but his train of thought was completely different from Batman's. He looked at Strange and asked, "So the Ancient One is destroying the entire earth?" After the 'human being', can you restore your mind to a complete state of mind, without any guilt?"
"It was just an accident, but even if it wasn't, it would be. We are the same kind of people. This is the most important reason why she chose me."
"If one day we..." Stark was pessimistic as always.
"Everything we do is to stop the 'what if we' happen," Strange emphasized.
"Isn't this a gamble?"
"Yes, Schiller has been betting from the beginning to the end, and I am too, from the Holy of Holies to Asgard, from SHIELD to mutants, there is no one time that is not, even at the beginning, we have not stood up The peak of mankind, in terms of strength and wisdom, is not qualified to represent ordinary people."
"But we have never, not even for a second, been entangled in whether all mankind agrees or disagrees. We have no guilt for those who may have sacrificed on this road, and we have no apology for the gravel that has been eliminated in the tide of the times."
"Why?"
"Because we have no morals...we must have no morals."
