Chapter 201: The Belonging of the Soul Gem
I have to say that Strange, who did not become a Supreme Mage, is indeed a very good doctor.
According to the nurses at this private hospital, when Dr. Strange came to help with the operation, the doctors at their hospital, as long as there were no patients, followed the monitors outside the ward to learn the process of the operation.
From this point of view, it can show how good Strange's medical skills are.
Tony Stark was also apparently aware of Strange's reputation in the surgical community, and several invitations were unsuccessful.
This time, it was just that he spent a lot of money to invite Strange to "fly the knife".
The expensive one is not necessarily good, but the most expensive one, and the one with a good reputation, is the best.
Therefore, with Ronan's situation at that time, he could only find the best and fastest Strange.
After a series of instruments examined Ronan's body, several doctors who came to study it together were amazed.
Because Ronan's bones are growing so well.
Even exceeded their most optimistic budget.
Originally, according to their estimates, Ronan would have to stay in bed for at least two or three months.
But at the current rate of recovery, it may only take Ronan two months, or even less, to return to normal.
Of course, the return to normalcy here means a return to normal life.
As for whether he can return to the way he was before he was not injured, it can only depend on Ronan's own creation.
Ronan is still very confident in his "creation".
So, he's about to have a very nice holiday.
Lying in bed every day, occasionally going out in a wheelchair for a breath of fresh air, and then it is a life that countless people can't imagine.
Because Ronan's health is getting better, he doesn't need to stay in the hospital room for a long time.
So, Ronan moved to a "small" villa next to this hospital.
It is said that this is the place reserved by Tony Stark for himself, after all, with Tony Stark's identity, injuries are a regular thing.
After moving to the villa area, Ronan returned to his normal life.
He even needs to follow the teachers in the school every day through real-time video.
That's right, this is the greatest concern that Ronan was given to Ronan in the school after hearing that he suffered a "car accident".
It's really caring.
Because if you take a leave of absence, there is a high probability that you will repeat a grade or have not enough credits.
So letting Zhou You listen to the lecture remotely is already counted as his attendance, which is also the only way Ronan can choose.
He didn't want to be Gwen Stacy's apprentice for nothing.
Of course, except for this one, which is not very good to learn, the rest is simply perfect.
-----------------
As the days passed, Ronan would pay attention to some news in addition to recuperating from his injuries on weekdays.
After all, he also knew what was going to happen next.
Sure enough, three days later, in the morning, the television station reported again an extremely shocking incident.
"Yesterday, there was an extremely horrific attack near Sokovia."
"The person who was attacked was not a resident of Sokovia, but a large area of Sokovia's territory."
"According to eyewitnesses and witnesses, they saw a large part of Sokovia's territory soaring into the sky, and according to the calculations of some experts, once that part of the territory landed, the entire planet would be wiped out."
"And according to witnesses, it was the Stark Group robot that attacked Sokova."
"The last time they saw it was when those robots were used as an aid to destroy the Hydra stronghold."
"But they never imagined that those robots would end up being killing machines and brutally slaughtering the inhabitants of Sokovia."
"At the scene, we still found the figure of the Avengers."
"And as one of the initiators of this incident, Tony Stark still has no news coming out."
"I hope the Avengers can give the people back the truth."
The female anchor on the TV station recited the report with a serious expression, talking about yesterday's incident in Sokovia.
And when Ronan heard the news, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It all happened anyway.
Ultron, who fused Jarvis, discovered the inferiority of human beings from all aspects, and because he was created, he was given the responsibility of "protecting humanity" by Tony Stark.
Therefore, after thinking about it, there is only one way to better protect human beings.
That is to destroy all of humanity.
Or make Earth a robot-dominated world, where humans will never be able to destroy themselves again.
It's a pity that this kind of thinking is no longer an extreme thing for human beings.
Rather, it touches on the most fundamental interests.
Life.
Therefore, the only ending for Ultron is death.
Of course, Ultron's death was still somewhat dramatic, because the appearance of Vision, both from the network and the combat aspect that he was proud of, easily crushed him.
And deleting him from the Internet is a murderous move.
The end result...
Although justice will prevail, public opinion has overwhelmingly begun to attack the Avengers.
The reason is very simple, the fact of the situation is that although they solve the trouble, the trouble itself is created by them.
This is not like saving humanity by any means, but more like atoning for one's own crimes.
People have forgotten the story of the aliens who invaded the earth and the members of the Avengers who resisted desperately and saved them.
Now, they only worry about one thing.
If time in Sokovia befalls them, will they still have a chance to survive?
Or, can the members of the Avengers still save the planet?
In addition to this, another voice was also unusually high.
And that's that people are very capable of people who have superpowers, but they are even more capable of creating crises.
Therefore, some people have begun to call for the supervision of these superpowers.
Of course, this part of the voice is simply manipulated by the American government behind the scenes.
They also want to take this ability into their own hands.
Anyway, this time the American government is in charge.
So, now someone has begun to study the management methods of those with superpowers.
It's all in plain sight.
These things didn't have much of an impact on Ronan.
Regardless of whether this kind of management method is introduced or not, Ronan will not sign it anyway.
While Zhou You was watching TV, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers walked in.
They were followed by another stranger.
No, and it shouldn't be called a stranger.
Because Ronan knew who he was.
Visual hallucinations.
A ...... that has been given a soul by a heart gem Robot.
Even this robot can fall in love with the owner of chaos magic, and even wake up from a bed.
I don't know why Altron set up such a complete set of functions when it made this robot at that time.
Tut.
Listening to the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Ronan swung his electric wheelchair and slowly turned around.
"It's just a good time for you to come."
"If you had come earlier, you might have heard what the experts had to say about you."
Ronan looked at the two core figures of the Avengers with a smile, and after this battle, the two were about to part ways.
Even sooner, the two of them will have a very long period of freezing.
"So, what do you think?"
Tony Stark sat straight on the couch, miraculously not squirting the experts in the way.
Perhaps in his heart, from this moment on, he has been shaken.
"It doesn't matter what I think, but won't you introduce me to new friends?"
Ronan didn't say anything about it, instead looking at the hallucinations that were also watching him.
In fact, in a way, Vision's strength is really strong.
However, weaknesses are also obvious.
Once the Mind Jewel on his forehead was stripped or destroyed, he would die instantly.
Of course, there are really not many people who can take advantage of this "weakness".
"Uh..."
"His name is Vision, that's the name he gave himself."
"It's... Robot? ”
Tony Stark pointed to Vision, not knowing how to put it for a moment.
It's not right to say robots, it's not right to say humans.
Could it be an artificial intelligence with human intelligence and ideas?
"My name is Vision, and I think I'm a human being."
Vision floated straight in front of Ronan and held out his right hand.
Ronan raised his right arm, showed him the bandage and splints, and then extended his left hand.
Vision was slightly stunned, and quickly stretched out his left hand.
"I'm sorry, but I've been understanding how humans express emotions lately."
"but they have forgotten to follow the most basic human etiquette."
The vision was of course referring to the gesture of his outstretched right hand shaking hands.
After all, Ronan's right hand was injured, and he stretched out his right hand, which meant disrespect for Ronan.
"It seems that you are not fully human."
Ronan looked at Vision with interest.
He now wondered if the vision in front of him was a new soul or a replacement for the Mind Gem.
According to Ronan's memory, when the Mind Gem was removed, Vision also died directly.
And when Bruce Banner snapped his fingers and "brought" everyone back, only two people didn't show up.
Black Widow and Vision.
The former is because he has exchanged his soul for a soul gem, so naturally he can't come back.
And the latter, judging from this moment, he is not an independent person, but a derivative of the Soul Gem.
That's where it gets interesting.
"I think I am."
"And I seem to smell something familiar from you."
Vision looked at Ronan in confusion, as if wondering where this familiarity came from.
Ronan smiled.
Can you not be familiar?
Your two "brothers" have been working for me for a long time.
"Let's get back to business."
"You didn't come to me today to introduce me to new members, did you?"
Ronan didn't answer Vision's question, instead looking at Steve Rogers.
According to Ronan's guess, not only are there something wrong with these two people, but there is a high probability that the matter is related to the vision in front of them.
"Well, on the one hand, we're here to see you."
"On the other hand, there are two things I want to tell you."
Steve Rogers nodded, he also looked a little absent-minded.
Quite simply, it is also caused by those public opinions on TV.
Ronan shrugged his shoulders, raised his right hand slightly, and then controlled the wine and glasses on the wine cabinet, moving in front of several people.
】
"Leave your own business."
Then he sat in his wheelchair and watched the three men quietly.
Tony Stark poured a glass of wine for Vision and Steve Rogers, and then filled his own glass.
He gave up the initiative on the topic to Steve Rogers.
"First things first, it's about Wanda and Pietro."
"They've agreed to join the Avengers, and Wanda wants to meet you, but neither Tony nor I agree."
Steve Rogers glanced at Ronan, and the reason for not agreeing was simple.
He was afraid that Ronan would see that face and lose control of his emotions and kill the Scarlet Witch again.
No matter what happened before, now it's my own.
But after all, Ronan was also beaten like this by the same face, and they also had to take care of Ronan's face.
"Don't worry, I can still tell the right from wrong."
"As for Pietro, isn't he dead?"
Ronan raised an eyebrow, looking a little surprised.
Quicksilver is not dead, and for the Avengers, it can be said that it has a good combat power.
At least among these people here, except for Vision, it seems that no one really can deal with him.
But in the face of Thanos, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to play a role.
"Didn't you ever be interested in... Another Wanda had promised to protect him from this death. ”
"So, we paid more attention to him."
Tony Stark glanced at Ronan, and at this moment he had all the slightest suspicion about Ronan.
These doubts are about the "future" and the "parallel universe".
After all, another Wanda is coming, and Quicksilver almost died, no matter how you look at what Ronan said, it's true.
"Well, I was just ...... at the time"
Halfway through that, Ronan didn't go any further.
After all, there is still a future boyfriend of the Scarlet Witch standing here.
It's really not a good behavior to say bad things about people behind your back.
"What about the other thing?"
Ronan changed the subject.
"Another thing, it's the mind gem on the scepter before."
Steve Rogers looked at Ronan and didn't know what to say the rest of the words.
The origin of the Infinity Stones, and the impact it will have on the future, Ronan has already told them all.
So, according to their plan, either the Mind Gem was taken away by Thor for safekeeping, or it was left on Earth and handed over to Ronan.
These two are by far the safest option.
But now, it doesn't seem that simple.
Because the hallucinations appeared.
"So, do you mean, leave the Mind Gem in the most obvious place?"
Ronan narrowed his eyes, and a seemingly nonexistent oppressive force slowly enveloped the entire room.
