In front of the circular Zen window, the light was hazy and soft, gilding the silhouettes of both men with a halo, and Stark looked at the angry expression on Strange's face with a slight puzzlement.

In fact, he had rarely seen Stephen so angry, and it was the consensus that Strange had a bad temper, but most of it was just impatience, poor social interaction, and the kind of fastidious and pretentious problems he brought out of his profession as a surgeon.

But Stark seemed to be the first time he saw him in real fire, Strange in a suit stood up directly from the sofa, yes, he didn't wear a robe, and Stark rarely saw Strange wear a robe, it seemed that he would only wear the Supreme Mage's costume when there was a large-scale battle scene.

He wore a suit most of the time, but it didn't seem to be to show that he was a high-class person, Stark vaguely remembered that he seemed to have said that he hated casual wear, mainly because he hated the relaxation that casual clothes bringed, and perhaps the robe was too loose for him.

How can anyone in this world hate relaxation?

Stark's knowledge of psychology and behavior tells him that there is a type of person who needs constant anxiety and tension, and this is most often seen in high-stakes professions, and one of the typical ones is the surgeon.

In Stark's profile of Strange, there is no doubt that he is a psychotic on a par with Schiller, and that the doctors are equally mentally abnormal, with the same deep morality.

The scene written in Stark's angry notebook is because Captain America Steve is his friend, even Captain America in another world should not have suffered this catastrophe and be turned into a monster, and his anger is quite justified and justified.

But Strange and Steve don't deal with each other very well, they are also the kind of conflict between the typical civilian and security personnel, Strange thinks Steve is reckless, Steve thinks Strange is hypocritical, not to mention Steve from another universe, in this case, Strange should be more likely to show schadenfreude, and he did.

Where does the turning point be? It seems that in the scene recorded in the notebook, Captain America, who has turned into a monster, is easily teased by the owner of the notebook and an unknown critter.

Strange thinks Steve is too weak?

Stark thought of Strange's last words, they had given so much and only received so little, so did he think the deal was unfair?

But that's also a matter of another universe, as for making him react so much? And what happened in the dream universe before, isn't Strange's opinion 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, and said like a venom-spitting snake:

"What really makes me angry and humiliated is that the human beings in that dream universe gave up their bodies, their wisdom, and their character, but they didn't get anything in exchange for anything - normal social order, huh?"

"If I want to praise these fools, can you remember to deceive yourself? Do you want me to write a hymn to their or their representatives' cowardly feat of selling everything for nothing but a little dregs? All I can say is 'Damn idiot!' ', they deserve to die! Only this one! ”

"It's extreme." Stark commented rather conservatively.

"It's not enough! Tony stark! Strange turned around, stared into Stark's eyes, and asked, "You were also a merchant, and I ask you, who do you hate the most when you sell a commodity for a hundred dollars and no one buys it?" ”

"Illiterate buyers?" Stark said tentatively, but he wasn't really good at business.

"Wrong, it's a peer who sells fifty yuan!" Strange gritted his teeth and said, "The reason they have to die is that they have lowered the price of the goods we can trade, including human form, intelligence, and quality!" They fed the appetites of the gods with their own humility, and made them think that I was asking for a price! ””

Strange took a deep breath and explained further: "Human beings must be valuable enough, and my, all Supreme Mages, all Mages, the hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys of human civilization must be valuable enough!" It's all the bargaining chips in the negotiations, and that's all I care about! ”

"Whoever kneels first dies, it's as simple as that!"

Stark was silent, as the largest capitalist in the United States and now in the world, and with another such capitalist in his head, he, they know better than anyone how much profit can be brought by joint monopolies, and this is what all the Supreme Mages are doing - in a sense kidnapping all human beings, and then sitting on the ground and raising the price.

Any demon god who wants to reach out to humans must go through the Supreme Mage's sheep slaughtering knife, that is, the magical defense network that hangs over the earth, shed enough blood, leave enough benefits, and then the mage takes them and asks for a higher price, which is how Kama Taj has worked for thousands of years.

If the demon god wants to invade the earth by force and plunder the human race, he will find that what he has plundered is far less than the consumption of the war with the mage, because the mages will fight to the end, and if necessary, they will pull the earth jade and burn it at all times, so that they can spend a lot of strength but get nothing, which is completely unworthy, so they can only sit down and talk, as the saying goes, to be slaughtered.

This has been the norm for thousands of years, and to this day, almost no demon gods will suddenly have the idea of attacking the earth by force, and to some extent, they have been domesticated by rules and order.

But if there is an outlier among them, and the gods can easily get what they want, it will cause all the other demon gods to have different intentions and ambitions that they can take their place.

Strange walked back to the chair and sat down, the anger seemed to have been digested by him, but a deeper coldness emerged from his face, cold and mournful, cold and pitiful.

It's too contradictory, Stark thought, but surprisingly harmonious.

"Not only are they selling their own profits, but also ours, and when they close the deal - I'm sorry, whether they are voluntary or not, they are no longer of their own kind, and I will destroy them."

Stark was pretty sure that Strange didn't feel a little guilty when he said this, not the slightest bit.

The expression on Stark's face slowly changed, and something deeper that didn't belong to him came to his face, it was another, darker soul, and he almost couldn't wait to join the conversation, and he asked in that deep tone:

"Even if it's unfair?"

"It's foolish to look to the Demon God for justice."

"I'm talking about the destroyed humanity."

"Same stupidity, tram problem, I chose to hit and kill one because I have no morals."

An answer that simply choked Batman, the people of this world are simple and rude, and they are rightly frightening.

"Even if that 'one' could be you someday?"

"I'm going to rob the power to prevent myself from being tied up, and if I'm almost lucky, I'm going to adjust my posture and let the train that killed me derail, and everyone dies together, also because I have no morals."

Equally selfish and arrogant blameless.

If a person has no morality, then there is no moral dilemma, whoever affects me should die, as long as I don't die, it doesn't matter who dies, I will pull everyone on my back when I die, I don't die and whoever dies I laugh at whom, a perfect logical closed loop of a moral vacuum.

"So are you guarding all 'humans'? Or is it humanity on this planet in the narrow sense? Batman asked again.

"I am one with the human beings on this earth, I am them, they are me." Strange didn't hesitate.

"Do you think you represent them?"

"I'm not a party leader." Strange began to show impatience, as if the person across from him had asked a stupid question.

"Do you still want to say that even if one human disapproves of me, I can't represent them, do you still want to say that we should establish a Kama Taj opposition party, and then we will take turns in power, so that we can represent the will of all people, which is true democracy?"

"There is no such democracy! I'm completely one with humanity because I didn't have to, you know? I can let the demon god plunder at will, it can't hurt me anyway, my contribution is my position, and my justice is my democracy! ”

It's a shocking statement, but Batman can still find holes in it, he's very good at these logic games, and he's confident that no one can beat him.

"Of course you won't let it go, because you're also enjoying the order of the earth, and you're not just giving and sacrificing unilaterally." Batman noted.

"Of course, I'm not that great."

"Then your contribution is not only to defend the public interest, but also to defend private interests, so that human beings can not accept your affection."

"Of course."

The people of this universe have a kind of frankness that confuses Batman, whether it is an affirmative or a negative answer, they don't leave a little middle, and they don't know the slightest reason to leave room for conversation.

"Then why are you ......?"

"Because I have no morals."

It's closed again.

"I don't cast myself as a great man who is dedicated to the common good, believe it or not, I don't care about fame, I don't care what people who are ruined or alive by my choices think of me."

Strange leaned forward, pressed his elbows against his knees, and looked into Stark's eyes, or rather, Batman's.

"I'm not paying for someone or something, I'm not looking for meaning and morality, I'm just looking for clarity and fulfillment, and as long as I can convince myself, I don't have to try to convince anyone."

Ultimate idealism, this is easy to understand, so Batman said, "I understand." But he already knew it, better than anyone else.

It's like they're looking in the mirror, but it's like they're enemies because of Batman's sense of morality that is stronger than anyone else's, and it's like they're at the other extreme.

After Batman left, Stark, who listened to their conversation, was also thoughtful, but his thinking was completely different from Batman's, he looked at Strange and asked: "So after destroying the 'humans' of the entire earth, the ancient one can still recover his state of mind and feel no guilt?" ”

"It was just an accident, but even if it wasn't, it would, we're the same kind of people, and that's the most important reason she chose me."

"If one day we ......" Stark was as pessimistic as ever.

"All we do is to stop the 'if we happen someday.'" Strange emphasized.

"Isn't that a gamble?"

"Yes, Schiller has been gambling from beginning to end, and so have I, from the Holy of Holies to Asgard, from S.H.I.E.L.D. to mutants, not once, even at the beginning, we have not yet stood on the top of humanity, and in terms of strength and intelligence, we are not qualified to represent ordinary people."

"But we have never, not even for a second entangled in the disagreement of all mankind, no guilt for those who may be sacrificed on this road, and no apologies for eliminating the sand and gravel in the tide of the times."

"Why?"

"Because we don't have morals...... We must be moral. ”
