Superman

"Hey, Tony, be careful! You can put it in only if it's aligned!"

"Please, Banner, have some faith in me, how could I misplace it!"

"But I see your fingers are shaking. It's inevitable that you will be nervous for the first time. I can completely understand that at such a critical time, you can't have any accidents."

"Banner, if you can shut up and give me a quiet environment, I believe it will definitely make my work more efficient."

"..."

SHIELD headquarters base, inside the laboratory.

Iron Man operated the mechanical arm and constantly adjusted its position.

Dr. Banner was holding a tablet computer, inputting various data and model diagrams outlining the internal structure.

Due to the destruction of the Infinity Gauntlet, the Avengers could only create a new piece of equipment containing six stones.

This kind of task naturally falls to the two leading members of the scientific research team, Iron Man and Dr. Banner.

"I still don't understand, how did Luke avoid Thanos' snap of his fingers?"

Dr. Banner chatted while working.

Ever since I learned that Thanos died and received lunch.

The superhero's originally tense and heavy inner emotions gradually relaxed.

As Luke said to them before, the best way to face fear is to defeat it.

When the overlord of the universe who wiped out half of all life in the universe and defeated the Avengers suddenly fell.

This also means that the crisis faced by mankind on earth and even the civilization of the universe has passed.

However, because he was teleported away in the end.

The superhero did not see how Luke defeated Thanos and then obtained the six infinity stones.

"According to Luke himself, he is probably a creature that does not belong to this universe."

Iron Man frowned slightly, stared at the six gems placed on the mechanical arm, and curled his lips.

"It's like a production workshop. It can only destroy things on its own assembly line, with production dates and production labels. As an outsider, Luke is not affected by the infinite stones."

Dr. Banner seemed a little unable to understand this, so he asked seriously: "But the moment Luke entered this universe, his existence became a fact."

"If things that are not from this universe can ignore the effect of the Infinity Stones, then suppose I find a dog from Luke's universe. Even if Thanos snaps his fingers countless times, won't he be able to kill the dog?"

Iron Man shrugged his shoulders, stopped what he was doing, thought for a few seconds, and replied: "This should also involve issues of cosmic level and personal strength."

"What is the universe level?"

Dr. Banner scratched his head. The people who had more contact with Luke during this period were mainly Tony, Thor and Captain Rogers.

If you talk about personal contacts, you can add Captain Marvel Carol at most.

"You can think of the universe as a box. When we open the one we are in, we will find that there is a bigger box above."

Iron Man was very interested in the box theory that Luke mentioned casually, and continued: "Some people have divided these boxes into different levels, which are linked to the strength of those unimaginable ancient beings."

"In short, Thanos can snap his fingers and wipe out puppies from another universe, but he can't shake the existence of Superman."

"If you have to explain it from a scientific point of view, how do you say that? Oh, yes! Indecision in times of trouble, quantum mechanics."

"You treat it as the basic principle of erasing life with the Infinity Gauntlet. In fact, it uses six gems to interfere with quantum space-time and delete the individual's existence, thereby making you disappear from the real world."

"Luke's existence is not located in the current quantum space-time, and it is too large. It would be troublesome to delete all the data."

Dr. Banner said oh, seeming to understand.

These days, as long as you add the word "quantum mechanics" in front of anything, it will immediately highlight its unusual high-end temperament.

He was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Tony, what do you think the original ending of this universe was?"

"Who knows, Strange, the juggler, mentioned that out of the 14 million possible futures he saw, we only won once."

With a bitter smile on his face, Iron Man joked: "Now that I think about it, Superman may represent the 'only' that Strange said."

"No matter what, this is the best ending we can accept!"

Dr. Banner nodded silently, with a smile on his face.

…

…

"Only now do I realize that being a superhero in the Midgard world is more troublesome than being the king of Asgard."

In the office lobby of the SHIELD headquarters base, Thor's complaining voice sounded.

This is the fifth day since they returned to Earth from outer space. Iron Man and Dr. Banner are responsible for building new gloves.

The remaining superheroes came forward to stabilize people's hearts and maintain the social order in various countries that was on the verge of collapse.

Compared with the former, the latter's work seems to be easier.

actually not.

What will happen when the world loses half its population?

first.

There will be some criminals among those survivors.

They began to act recklessly and took away goods from stores and supermarkets.

Drive away high-end cars that you couldn't afford before, smash the windows of clothing stores, and wear expensive fashionable clothes.

As the number of this group expanded, gradually, anarchist and chaotic thoughts began to spread.

Another small group of people see everyone doing the same thing, and they unconsciously attach themselves to the group with more people.

Just like what was described in the book "The Crowd" written by Gustave Le Pen -

Once an individual becomes a member of a group, he will no longer bear responsibility for his actions. At this time, everyone will reveal his unconstrained side.

The consequences of the collapse of social order are serious. These days, superheroes are busy working as firefighters, giving speeches on television, and fighting against the many rising gangs and international terrorist organizations.

No matter big or small country.

Every citizen is one of many parts in this machine. If you lose a screw or a gear, it may still keep running.

But losing half of it is equivalent to entering a state of paralysis directly.

"Of course. As a king, you only need to lean on the throne and accept the worship of your people."

Captain America had just finished a White House meeting. He looked slightly tired and said, "Being a superhero must abide by the law and uphold the moral rules he believes in."

"Yesterday afternoon, I saw some kids in Brooklyn using baseball bats to smash the windows of a store and then move away two Sony TVs and game consoles."

"I wanted to stop them, but I saw a large number of people following behind me. They were like a swarm of locusts, sweeping the store away."

"At that time, I didn't know what to do? Send all these people to prison, or beat and kick them like we did with German soldiers during World War II?"

Captain America leaned back in his chair with a wry smile on his lips.

"What is this? I was in Los Angeles the day before yesterday. Those survivors who had not been erased took to the streets to demonstrate. They believed that since half of the population has disappeared, the country should allocate the remaining resources to the public so that everyone can enjoy more

Welfare."

War Machine sighed.

"Obviously, many people have lost their families and friends. This should be a very sad thing."

"It's like a funeral hasn't started yet, and everyone has no time to mourn. Instead, they can't wait to prepare for the division of property."

Captain America was convinced and added: "This world is too crazy. Various religious organizations have sprung up, and they all claim to be fully responsible for the disappearance of half of the world's population."

"All of these are the gods they believe in, to punish human beings for their evil deeds and to unleash their wrath."

"The most ridiculous thing is that before we even started the crackdown, those people were quarreling among themselves over who would be responsible!"

Black Widow took out a sandwich from the microwave, bit it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Everything is in chaos. I can only hope that Tony and Banner can make the gloves as soon as possible."

"By the way, we also need someone to snap their fingers - this is not an easy job."

The superheroes sitting in the hall were silent for a moment, and then Thor, the God of Thunder, who was holding a bucket of ice cream and eating frantically, volunteered. Maybe it was because his enemy Thanos died. He had been in a very relaxed state recently and became obsessed with the earth.

A variety of fast food, alcoholic beverages and best-selling games.

Rocket Raccoon, who lives next door to him, can hear Thor angrily cursing teammates or opponents on the public channel every day.

Usually he is disliked and ridiculed for his poor skills, and then both parties exchange insults.

Fortunately, it has not developed into offline real-person PK for the time being.

Otherwise, a message will definitely start to circulate in the game called "Fortnite" - never provoke the violent player whose ID is "Thor, God of Thunder".

"I think among all of you here, there is no more suitable candidate than me."

Sol took a scoop of ice cream and said confidently.

"As the strongest Avenger, the son of Odin, only I can snap my fingers like this!"

Rocket Raccoon adjusted the position of his crotch and said shamelessly: "Hey, Thor, did you know that Banner is studying the gloves next door? The Strongest Avenger——"

"I have heard that you were beaten up by the Hulk on Gao Tianzun's Saka planet. There is also a video of it on the interstellar forum of the cosmic fighting competition."

Thor glared at Rocket Raccoon and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Captain Marvel.

As a female representative, the other party also stepped forward without hesitation.

Although when facing Thanos, Captain Marvel was blasted far away by the Power Stone, and then remained offline.

But this kind of thing cannot be left to men alone!

This is very incorrect!

"I once withstood the explosion of the light speed engine, survived, and still possess this power."

Carol raised his fist and said, "So, maybe the task of snapping fingers should be given to me."

"Let me do it. If you have to sacrifice one!"

Captain America's ideological consciousness is not lower than others.

Just when a group of people were arguing, the silent Nebula said: "I don't think you need to discuss this. The Superman who defeated Thanos and ignored the erasure of Snap is obviously more suitable than anyone else."

"Well, it seems reasonable."

The others thought for a while and found that they really could not find a more qualified executor than Superman.

"What about the Lukes?"

Captain America glanced around and didn't see the greatest contributor to saving the world and the universe.

"He said he was going to meet an old friend."

Carol replied.
