**Reality.**

Jiang Cheng had been enjoying a stream of short videos, raking in more revenue than he earned in several months of hard work. His spirits were high as he comfortably lounged on his sofa, browsing through more videos. He stumbled upon another one related to American comics.

**"Captain America was wrong, Iron Man is also willing to sacrifice for others, he's a bona fide hero!"**

The scene cut to a hall in the SHIELD helicarrier, where Captain America, dressed in his uniform, was arguing with Tony Stark for some reason.

"Oh, you're just a big shot in a fancy iron suit," Cap sneered at Tony. "Without that suit, what are you?"

"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist," Tony retorted without missing a beat, showing no signs of humility.

"I know people who are just regular folks but are ten times more useful than you. You fight for yourself only!" Cap continued his relentless critique. "You're not the kind of guy to lay down on a wire and let others crawl over you!"

"I think I'd just cut the wire," Tony shot back, leaving Cap momentarily speechless.

"You always have a smart answer, don't you?" Cap resumed, disdainfully. "You might not be a threat, but don't pretend to be a hero!"

The video shifted to a new scene. On the streets of New York, Iron Man, clad in his suit, was battling several Chitauri warriors. More accurately, he was being beaten by them. Despite their individual weaknesses, the Chitauri overwhelmed him with sheer numbers.

"Stark, can you hear me? A nuclear missile is headed for Manhattan," Nick Fury's voice crackled through the comms.

"How much time do we have?" Stark asked, his expression immediately becoming serious.

"Three minutes. The missile's yield is enough to level Midtown."

"Jarvis, redirect all power to the thrusters!" Iron Man commanded decisively. Energy surged from his suit as he broke free from the Chitauri and soared into the sky.

The scene changed again, showing a nuclear missile speeding over the ocean, with Iron Man chasing it down. He eventually caught up, grabbing hold of the missile.

"I know exactly where to put this!" Determined, Iron Man altered the missile's trajectory, heading for the portal Loki had opened. He flew into the wormhole, carrying the missile into the vastness of space, toward a massive alien fleet. Releasing the missile, he watched as it collided with the mothership, resulting in a tremendous explosion.

**Marvel 199999 Universe. Stark Tower.**

Tony Stark was in disarray. Even his brilliant mind was overwhelmed by the shocking spoilers. The information was not only abundant but also incredibly significant.

First, why did he argue with Captain America? The brief glimpse of the room showed not just him and Cap, but others too. Among them, he noticed Thor, who had appeared in a previous video. This hinted at a connection with the Avengers, a group mentioned in the videos but not yet formed in his reality.

Tony speculated that he might join this Avengers group in the future, given the clear implication of parallel universes. However, the details of his argument with Cap remained unclear.

Tony dismissed Captain America as an outdated soldier with some luck-based abilities. To Tony, Cap was insignificant. He wouldn't tolerate any arrogance from Cap if they ever met.

His thoughts then shifted to the more pressing spoiler. A nuclear missile targeting Manhattan? That was madness! What could lead to such a catastrophic event? And who were those silver-armored beings he fought?

The brief video clips hadn't revealed the Chitauri's identity, leaving Tony with more questions than answers.
