Chapter 399: Where the Holy Shield Goes
It's not that Tony doesn't believe Raymond, it's that Raymond's statement is too unbelievable, making it difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Raymond: "Do you remember what you said earlier, why the Strategic Science Corps suddenly changed its name to S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”
Tony: "You're saying my father is actually related to the vanished Brotherhood of Aegis?" ”
Raymond nodded, "It's not that simple, your father should have been a member of the Brotherhood of Aegis already, he is not just a scientist, he is also a superhero." ”
Tony was stunned: "Superheroes? Are you sure you're talking about my father? Howard Stark? ”
The American team also looked at Raymond with some hesitation: "If I'm not mistaken, Howard shouldn't have superpowers......"
"Some things, not knowing it, just because they haven't happened." Raymond shook his head and smiled, "Lord Howard is indeed a full member of the Brotherhood of the Aegis, I'm sure of that.
To be honest, it's not that I look down on your brother, Captain, but even if he is ten times stronger, it is impossible for him to kill a full member of the Aegis Brotherhood so easily. ”
"But that video ......"
"The Howard Starks in the video were indeed killed, but with what I know now, I'm 80% sure that the Starks who were killed were not themselves, maybe they were clones or other stand-ins." Raymond shrugged.
"Raymond, this matter is not a joke, if you lie to me, your friends will not have to do it in the future." Tony looked at Raymond Dao seriously.
Raymond: "Of course I know that, but what I'm saying is the truth, you should know me, and you're not sure I won't talk nonsense." ”
When Tony heard this, the expression on his face became complicated.
On the one hand, he couldn't believe that this kind of thing really happened, and if what Raymond said was true, then why did his parents fake their deaths and never tell him this?
Over the years, he has indulged in depravity and made many mistakes, all of which are related to the death of his parents.
He wants to anesthetize himself and forget his loneliness through this drunken life.
On the other hand, he had some expectations that what Raymond said was true, because that meant that he still wanted to see his parents, and not just want to avenge them as he did now.
So his heart is extremely conflicted.
After a while, he suddenly slammed his fist on the pillar on the side, and said with some annoyance: "If this is really the case, why didn't he come back to me, after so many years, is it necessary to do this?!" ”
Needless to say, Tony's mouth refers to his father who should have passed away, but was recognized by Raymond as not dead.
"He must have his reasons for doing this, and I'm sure he'll give you an explanation if you ever get a chance to see him again." Raymond said, "But I think he must be there to protect you......"
"Protect me? Do I need to be protected? ”
Tony couldn't accept this statement at all, he stared at Raymond tightly and asked, "Raymond, do you know something, please, don't hide it anymore, I want to know the truth!" ”
Seeing that Tony was a little anxious, Raymond thought for a while and muttered: "You should also know something about my abilities, so I won't say more, one of my abilities can roughly achieve a similar effect to divination, through divination, I can know that your parents are indeed alive, which is the first reason for my speculation."
As for the second reason, it stems from my knowledge of the Brotherhood of the Aegis...... When you asked me why such a large organization as the Brotherhood of the Aegis suddenly disappeared, I said I didn't know, but I was just not sure.
Actually, I still have some guesses......"
"What speculation?" All four of Tony straightened up.
"The Aegis Brotherhood may not have disappeared, but they have changed their way to continue to protect the earth." Raymond said slowly.
"In a different way? What do you mean? Tony was puzzled.
"What they are guarding now may not only be the earth under our feet, but also the earth of the past and the earth ......of the future," Raymond said with a slight solemnity.
"The Earth of the past and the future?"
Team America and Hawkeye reacted a little slower, after all, they were just more muscular, and they were ordinary people in other aspects.
But Tony and Banner instantly realized what Raymond was talking about, and said in unison, "This can't be!" ”
"Why do you think it's impossible?" Raymond asked rhetorically.
Tony: "Not to mention the previous technology, even the current technology, it is 108,000 miles away from making a time machine, maybe the Aegis Brotherhood is really strong, but I don't believe they can travel through time and space." ”
Banner also nodded: "Moreover, even if they can travel through time and space, protecting the earth in different time and space is just a false proposition, time is not a linear structure, any change is just an extra branch on the original timeline, in this case, where does protection begin?" ”
Obviously, neither of them is very receptive to this statement.
Banner's statement, Raymond is actually not unfamiliar, because in the MCU's Avengers 4, there are also situations that travel through time and space, and Banner at that time also vetoed it for the same reason.
I have to say that the logic of the two also has their own truths, but Raymond will say this possibility, naturally it will not be without reason.
Because this is not his speculation at all, but a fact.
As a former high-dimensional being, the omniscient and omniscient 'Reader', he was pretty sure that the Brotherhood of the Aegis didn't really disappear, and that it was indeed fighting in many different timelines.
Of course, Banner's description of the nature of the timeline is not wrong, at least in this world.
But he didn't think about it enough.
Raymond laughed, "I agree with Dr. Banner that time is not linear, and that the past is immutable, and the future is the same.
But there are so many situations in this world that you can't imagine that many things cannot be seen in the usual way.
It's like Tony said that it's impossible to travel through time with current technology, but why does it have to rely on technology to travel through time and space?
As far as I know, there are more than one or two kinds of superpowers on Earth that can travel through time and space, some are special abilities, some are with the help of some strange treasures, and so on.
With the knowledge and accumulation of the Brotherhood of the Holy Aegis, it is naturally impossible not to know what will happen if they change the timeline, but they still chose to embark on this path, which proves that there must have been some kind of accident, so they have to choose to dive headlong into the ocean of time.
I suspect that Tony's fake death of your father was probably just to completely disappear from people's sight. ”
Raymond made his inference in its entirety.
