Chapter 951: Contradictions
"This is something you and I have worked so hard to build, why do you say that?Banner?" Stark's anger was greatly aroused by the opposition of the crowd, "Shouldn't you treat it like your own child?"
"I remember Stark Industries was originally a weapon maker, and you don't sell weapons anymore. Rogers retorted.
"You think it's a weapon?" Stark said incredulously, "Guys, think about it, Edward is going to leave Earth sooner or later, that's what he said. ”
"And what are we going to face? a huge wormhole less than a hundred meters above the city, an endless army of aliens, and those terrifying metal snakes. Stark glanced at Edward and said excitedly, "If Edward and his Demon Hunter Knights hadn't been there, do you think we would have been sure of victory?"
"We Avengers have to have our own power, not always rely on Edward's ......"
"Wait, Stark, you're saying I'm an outsider?" said Edward, sadly.
"No, I didn't say that. We are all grateful to you and treat you as one of us. Stark shook his head, "As a friend, I can support you unconditionally and trust you." But ......"
Stark stopped at this point, struggled for a while, and finally sighed, "Okay, I think of you as a friend, but it's hard to think of you as a comrade-in-arms." ”
"Tony!" Barton retorted, "isn't Edward our comrade-in-arms, at least I think he is." ”
"Stop kidding yourself, Barton. Stark glanced at the heroes in the audience and said, "You must have seen that Edward's recent behavior has shown that he is only a passerby. ”
"Yes, he has brought us the magical power of the Light, but it is undeniable that he will not remain on Earth forever. Have you ever wondered how we're going to fill the void when he's gone?"
"Demon Hunter Knights, when Edward leaves, I have a hard time believing that they will grow as rapidly as they do now, and many organizations on Earth will not allow this to happen. Once Edward leaves, the Knights of the Demon Hunters will even be the first to be contained. ”
"It is impossible for the Demon Hunter Knights to fill Edward's vacancy! ”
"Huaguo has a saying that makes a lot of sense: before it rains, the house must be repaired first. My Light Engine is used to mend the house, and while Edward is still on Earth, we must do our best to develop our power and equip Earth with a powerful shield. ”
Stark's words were so convincing that his opponents fell silent.
Edward was equally silent, and Stark had made it clear that he would no longer oppose the development of the Light Engine.
He is the founder of the Light, the Father of the Light, and it is a bit off-putting that he has powerful Light abilities but opposes the Earthlings developing their own Light.
"I'm still opposed to your continued research on the Light Engine. Edward was silent for a long time, "But I can't stop you from gaining your own power. ”
"Tony, there's a saying on Earth that makes sense, it's dangerous for a kid to carry a firearm. Until you don't have enough strength, you'd better keep this matter a strict secret. ”
"No, we're not kids, Edward. Stark confidently said, "We are the Avengers, we are superheroes, and now we are superheroes with the power of the Light. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. is disbanded, our Avengers still exist, which shows this. ”
Edward was dumbfounded by Tony's conceit and was a little disappointed. He glanced around the superheroes and saw that they were all looking at him with the eyes of outsiders.
Shaking his head and sighing, Edward looked at Nicole and said, "Nicole, we have been very happy during this time, and now is also the time to say goodbye."
"Edward...... You're leaving?" asked Nicole after a moment's pause, a little reluctantly.
"Yes, there's still a lot of work for me to take care of over there in Wakanda, and the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Knights is about to be completed, so I need to go back. Edward smiled wryly.
"No, Edward, that's not what we meant......" Rogers only then realized that their gaze was a little hurtful, and stood up and said, "We want you to ......"
"As Tony said, I'm an outsider after all, and I'm going to leave eventually. Edward patted Rogers on the shoulder and said, "I don't want my Demon Hunters to be a burden to you after I'm gone, so ......"
Stark realized that his words were hurtful, and he opened his mouth to try to hold back, but his proud personality kept him shut.
"Tony, the magic book I left with you......" Edward turned around and turned again.
"You want to take it?" Jarvis, bring the magic book. Stark paused, a slight anger in his tone.
"No, I'm not going to take it. Edward smiled, "If you want to increase your strength, I recommend studying the knowledge inside." Although magic is not as easy as the Holy Light, it is also a powerful power, and you should keep that book as well, if it spreads, the consequences may be even more serious than the Holy Light Engine. ”
"Besides, I'm not running away from the bad guys, so feel free to contact me if you need my help. Edward smiled and made a phone call gesture before walking through the door, spreading his wings of light and leaving.
After Edward's departure, the atmosphere became awkward.
"I think we made a serious mistake. Rogers was the last person to be at odds with Edward and the Avengers, and he sighed, "I have a hunch that we'll soon pay for today's mistakes." ”
"I ...... I'm just a little annoyed with his attitude. Stark wiped his face and said in a low mood, "Always with a high-minded posture, polite on the surface, but in fact deliberately hiding his arrogance." ”
"Yes, why do I think Edward is easy to get along with?" Thor looked at Sif, who nodded in agreement.
"That's because you are too. Stark said gloomily, "Edward can at least get along as friends and teach us the Light with all sincerity, but you're causing us endless trouble. ”
"Yes, I've changed a lot, okay? Thor smiled bitterly and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Tony, you're dangerous. Natasha said, "Are you sure you didn't say that because of your own arrogance?"
"Am I arrogant?" Stark froze, he was never good at looking at himself.
"Yes, you are arrogant. Barton nodded, and the others nodded in agreement.
