Chapter 12: Who is Doctor Strange?

"When it comes to gamma rays, there is someone who should be the expert among experts," Nick Fury said. "Stark, I know you're a genius, few can match you in the field of science, but when it comes to gamma rays, he must have delved deeper than you."

"Are you talking about the big green guy?" Natasha Romanoff immediately knew who Nick Fury was referring to.

The Green Giant, Bruce Banner, became the Hulk because of gamma rays. It can be said that since being irradiated, he has been studying gamma rays and sacrificing his life for research.

Moreover, Bruce Banner himself is a genius like Stephen Hawking. When it comes to the study of gamma rays, Bruce Banner is second to none in the world, including Tony Stark, the super genius.

"It looks like you'll have to make contact with the big guy in advance. Hopefully, he won't transform during the process," Tony Stark said, although he was proud, he still recognized true genius. When Nick Fury said that Bruce Banner was more specialized in studying gamma rays than him, he didn't show any signs of annoyance.

"Dr. Banner hasn't transformed in a while," Nick Fury said. "His condition is relatively stable." Then Nick Fury turned to Natasha Romanoff and said, "Romanoff, it's better if you go. After all, in the future, you successfully brought him to New York."

"I hope he won't smash me," Natasha Romanoff shrugged.

"Shielding the Cosmic Cube to prevent it from emitting signals into space is just one part of it," Tony Stark said. "I think it's necessary for us to figure out Loki's real purpose. For example, if Loki's goal is to eliminate people who eat donuts, then we just need to stop eating donuts."

"How could a god descending to Earth be for such a trivial reason?" Natasha Romanoff rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"I was just giving an example."

"Even as an example, it's still too trivial."

"Stark is right. On the surface, Loki's goal is the Cube, but the Cube is just his tool," Nick Fury didn't dwell on the donut issue. He continued Tony Stark's point, "Loki has said that he bears a great mission that we cannot comprehend. If we can find a way to understand what this mission is, then we can better prepare to prevent Loki's invasion."

"But how can we possibly understand the mission of a god?" Natasha Romanoff felt it was impossible to grasp.

"Loki is a figure from myth and legend," Nick Fury said. "I will recruit scholars and experts from various channels to conduct in-depth research and interpretation of mythology."

"Are you serious, Egghead?" Tony Stark felt the idea was unreliable as soon as he heard it. "Mythological stories are fundamentally untrustworthy. In mythology, Loki is Thor's uncle, but in reality, Loki is Thor's brother."

"The deviation isn't that big, is it?" Nick Fury retorted. "Do you have a better idea, Mr. Genius?"

"It's simple, just ask Thor, the God of Thunder," Tony Stark said matter-of-factly.

"Do you know where Thor is?"

"I don't know, but there's someone who might know," Tony Stark said. "That's Dr. Erik Selvig, whom you called to study the Tesseract one day in the future, but he was controlled by Loki with the scepter."

"This person does seem to know Thor, whether he already knows him or will know him in the future," Nick Fury thought of Dr. Erik Selvig's reaction when he heard Loki's name in the previous video and agreed with Tony Stark's words.

In the oral tradition of mythological stories, Loki, the god of mischief and lies, is the foster brother of the main god Odin and the uncle of Thor, the god of thunder. However, Dr. Erik Selvig spoke of Loki as Thor's brother, which would be impossible if he hadn't seen the true gods and knew the real mythology in advance.

"From Dr. Selvig's statement, we can also infer that Thor arrived on Earth before Loki," Natasha Romanoff sighed in relief. "Finally, some good news."

"I may not be able to find a god, but I can spot people. Not many can escape my sight," Nick Fury's tone exuded strong confidence. "Dr. Selvig, I'll keep a close eye on him."

[Fourth question begins, prepare yourself.]

[In the Battle of New York, who did Loki attempt to control with the Mind Stone scepter but failed?]

[A. Iron Man (Tony Stark)]

[B. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury]

[C. Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff)]

[D. Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange)]

"Loki is indeed involved in the invasion of the Chitauri!" The three of them almost said in unison. With this question, Loki's involvement in the New York invasion was practically confirmed.

"Brother invading, brother protecting, the lives of these gods are too chaotic," Tony Stark shook his head repeatedly. "I remember the king of the gods, Odin, having affairs with many women, being promiscuous. He's truly scum among scum."

As soon as he said this, Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff looked at Tony Stark with strange expressions.

"What are you looking at me for?" Tony Stark shrugged. "I didn't write the mythology."

"In terms of having multiple women, what right do you have to judge others!" Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but retort, her tone displeased. "Even if the real Odin is the same as in mythology, he's still much better than you!"

"Romanoff, I thought you were different from those brainless bimbos, but I guess you're just as shallow," Tony Stark's expression remained unchanged. "All those encounters were necessary, you know. As a billionaire, I have to deal with reporters, politicians, the military, and so on... Okay, okay! Stop looking at me like that! I admit I was a bit wild in the past, but that's all in the past! Ever since I almost got blown up in the desert, I've transformed myself like a phoenix rising from the ashes!"

"While I could go on for hours about Mr. Stark's romantic history, now clearly isn't the time," Nick Fury pointed at the floating text. "Now, let's focus on the questions."

"And who is this Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange? What's the deal with this person?" Tony Stark immediately noticed Doctor Strange. This was the second time this person appeared as an option, but Tony knew nothing about him.
