Chapter 1993: Principles, Revival, Petty

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the ankle monitor was in place, Scott took Luke out of the isolation room and to the base’s common area.

Scott raised his hand and gestured. “This is Zone D. You can do whatever you want here. It’s best that you don’t go near Zones A, B and C over there, or… you know.” He pointed at the ankle monitor.

Luke didn’t think much of it. “Got it. You know that I’m a man of principles.”

Scott’s smile froze, and he nodded with difficulty. “Why don’t you consider this… a vacation?”

Luke patted his shoulder. “Scott, you think too much sometimes. I’m a friend of the Avengers over there.”

Unfortunately, Scott still had a hard time smiling. After briefly explaining that Luke could look for Friday. the base A.I., if he needed something, he quickly left.

Boss, did you do that on purpose? Why are you talking about rules? he mumbled inwardly.

The Dark Knight indeed followed the rules. When he debuted, he said that he would break the bones of criminals — even if it was just a little finger, a bone had to be broken.

How could a good guy like Scott be calm when he heard that?

It was like ordinary tourists coming into close contact with lions in a safari park.

Even if the trainers guaranteed that the lions wouldn’t bite, and reports could prove it, tourists would always feel nervous when they touched them.

Scott had read many people’s comments about the Bat Squad online.

Many hardcore fans acknowledged that the Dark Knight and Black Cat were petty.

If anyone dared to speak ill of Knight and Black Cat, a bunch of people would say, “Just wait to die. You won’t be able to keep the bones in your tongue.”

Even though everybody knew that Knight and Black Cat only targeted criminals and had never beaten up online trolls, these crazy fans didn’t care.

How could Scott forget that?

…

After dealing with the unexpected problem of Luke for the time being, the Avengers focused on the Infinity Stones.

If they wanted to revive the people who had turned to dust, it wasn’t enough to just hold the six Stones together – the Infinity Glove was necessary.

To use a rough analogy, the Stones were just the power source, while the Infinity Glove was the power line and electrical equipment.

Tony had already thought about this situation repeatedly after they took back the Stones. It wasn’t a problem for him to design an Infinity Glove.

At most, the side effects of using it would be a little worse, but that was still better than not doing anything.

For Tony, designing was the most time-consuming part.

After the design was confirmed, nanotechnology could easily take care of the rest.

A week after the Stones were brought back, they were finally embedded in the brand new Iron Man Infinity Glove.

At that moment, a dispute finally broke out — who would use the glove?

Rhodes, Clint and Tony were directly ruled out. They would lose half their lives if they wore the glove, and would definitely die if they used it.

For the Avengers, who had already lost Natasha, the outcome of losing another teammate was unacceptable.

Thor volunteered to do it.

In the end, nobody agreed, including his staunch little raccoon friend.

Everybody knew that Thor was one of the ones, if not the one who was in the most pain.

That was because bringing back those who had been turned to dust wouldn’t include his parents, brother, friends or subjects.

Those people had died before Thanos’s Snap, and a lot of them died in front of Thor, but there was nothing he could do.

In the end, Dr. Banner stepped forward and walked toward the glove. “Stop fighting. You saw Thanos. These Stones almost killed him. None of you can take it.”

Tony asked, “Then how do you know you can?”

“I don’t.” Dr. Banner shook his head slightly and stood in front of the glove. “But the Stones release mostly gamma radiation.”

He stared at the glove. “It’s like… this is the meaning of my existence.”

Everybody had nothing to say. This was reality.

Apart from Thor, the God of Thunder who had gone flabby from doing nothing, this green Dr. Banner was indeed the most suitable for doing the Snap.

After a long silence, Tony looked at Dr. Banner, who picked up the glove, and finally said, “Are you ready?”

Dr. Banner said, “Let’s do it.”

Tony nodded. “Remember, all the people that Thanos Snapped away five years ago, you have to bring them back here, but don’t change anything from the last five years…”

…

On the lawn next to the Avengers’ base, Luke unhurriedly brushed oil on the skewers on the grill in front of him.

When he arrived, he realized that there was a slight problem with his inventory.

Although he could still use the storage function, he couldn’t take out any of the items inside.

He couldn’t touch the people and A.I. in Space 2.

Thankfully, he still had about a third of his inventory left, which could be used here.

He could also put in and take out the close-fitting nanosuit and the Knight armor that he had been wearing when he came here.

Luke, who was already used to boundless logistics, had no choice but to accept that he only had these two suits here.

He didn’t have his beloved Trailblazers, mid-sized drones or remote-controlled androids.

At the moment, he couldn’t enter Zones A, B and C of the Avengers’ base, nor could he obtain raw materials to make his own equipment.

As long as the Avengers weren’t idiots, they wouldn’t provide the Dark Knight, who had come from who knew where, with these dangerous items when they were trying to bring back the other half of the entire universe.

Furthermore, the Avengers’ base was the safest place on Earth. What could Luke want with these things?

Could he say that his phobia of insufficient firepower was acting up again? There were no enemies here.

As a rational person, Luke had no complaints.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t like strangers messing around at a crucial moment.

In fact, it was already pretty good that he could eat skewers leisurely in Zone D.

Also, after Scott secretly stressed to the Avengers that Knight was a petty person, Tony sent over a full set of kitchenware and ingredients with one call, and had a temporary kitchen set up in Zone D.

That way, Luke didn’t have to trouble them with food anymore.

During this time, only the blue-skinned female android called Nebula watched him from a distance a few times, but she quickly left.

The woman’s body was very strange. It was said that she was an alien who had been modified many times with alien technology.

She still had mental fluctuations, but trying to interpret the thought waves of an alien whose brain was mostly made up of modified parts was tricky.

Luke could only sense that she was wary and prying.

But other people more or less felt the same; they just didn’t pay as much attention to Luke.

That wasn’t something Luke needed to worry about.

They were on the same side, while he was an outsider. It was normal for them to be wary.

Luke hadn’t been idle for the past few days.

It was inconvenient to wear the Knight armor all the time, but he could with the nanosuit.

It was pretty fun to use the yellow lenses of his nanosuit to record, analyze and deduce the intelligence gathered in 2023.
