Chapter 531: The Plot Takes a Strange Turn Again (Part 2)_1

Looking into Schiller's eyes, aside from the usual coldness, there was a plethora of irritation and impatience. Looking deeper, within the Thought Palace, two figures, one black and one white, stood on opposite ends of the tower arguing vehemently.

"If it wasn't for you sparking the conflict between Iron Man and Captain America, making me run around New York like a chicken with its head cut off, why would I make so much work for you?"

The Schiller in a black suit spoke emotionlessly, "If you hadn't broken my umbrella, how would I have ignited the conflict between them?"

"Wasn't the umbrella mine too? Did I intend to break it?"

"Shut up. The umbrella was obtained through a plan from Cobblepot; you ruined it after I gave it to you. How dare you still claim it was your umbrella?!"

"But didn't I find a new umbrella cover for it later?!"

"But you still broke it first!"

The Schiller in the white coat took a deep breath, grinding his teeth before saying, "Earlier, Stark mentioned Marxism. Did you have a hand in that too?"

"Just now, I found out that the Philby List and Medal originally stored in the Gray Mist were missing. You clearly took them out of my world intentionally and let Stark find them to frame me as a KGB!"

"Aren't you KGB?"

"Of course, I'm not!"

"But I am."

The Schiller in the white coat was taken aback, while the Schiller in the black suit continued to speak, "Considering we are the same person, I wasn't framing you. I was simply hinting at my faith to Stark in a more subtle manner."

"When did you become a KGB?!"

"The moment I saw the Red Flag Medal."

"You..."

Marvel Schiller was so mad he felt like he needed to breath in more oxygen, but the Schiller in the black suit shrugged and continued, "The list and the medal were both obtained by me. They were just temporarily stored in the Gray Mist. Whenever I take them out or where I place them, that's my call."

"Stark trespassing into your sanatorium and rummaging through your home for clues, he just happened to see my private possessions. You could say you're just really unlucky," said DC Schiller lightly.

Marvel Schiller rolled his eyes fiercely. Just happened? Bullshit! If it weren't for DC Schiller guiding them, they wouldn't have found anything!

"Calm down, after all, we're the same person. Constantly seeking revenge on one another is not the way forward," said DC Schiller, disappearing, then reappearing beside Marvel Schiller and patting his shoulder.

"Moreover, I'm not entirely sabotaging you. Now, they all misunderstand you as a lunatic who's gone mad due to a failed great ideal, and are planning to revive the Soviet Union."

"We all know about the Overton Window. If you want to open a window and they disagree, you say you'll tear the roof off, and then they'll agree to let you open the window. It's the same with this situation."

"If you claim you're Hydra, they might want to judge you, but if you claim you're a committed communist warrior, striving all your life to revive the Soviet Union, then being Hydra might not be so unacceptable."

Marvel Schiller glanced at DC Schiller and sneered disdainfully, but DC Schiller continued,

"Moreover, before this, Stark had you running around the New York sky for a good while, surely you'd want some revenge?"

"Things like recorders are too childish...Your Marvel methods are...less than impressive."

"But now, look. You have a very reasonable justification to have Stark and Steve running around the New York sky, and even have a righteous reason to beat them up, because you're a madman."

"Not only do they have to control themselves not to fight back, they have to soothe you with kind words. After that, they have to find you the best ward, hire the best doctor, and if one day, you're not happy, you can throw a tantrum and beat them up."

"Do you think I'm you?" Marvel Schiller rolled his eyes again and said, "I'm a pacifist who always deals through negotiation, never through violence. Also, apart from wasting my energy, what benefits are there in beating them up?"

"The advantage is the joy it brings!"

"More importantly, your persona has become richer. In Marvel, which emphasizes origin stories, such a complex, bizarre, mysterious origin would give you more confidence when marketing to some powerful entities."

DC Schiller, with his arms around Marvel Schiller, descended down the stairs, saying, "Back when you were marketing to Death through phone calls, you should've said 'Do you have a problem with people who have mental disorders?' She definitely wouldn't have dared to not show up."

At that moment, a furious shout came from the surface consciousness of Moonlight Schiller, "You guys are too noisy!"

Both Schillers looked up, and the DC Schiller in the black suit clicked his tongue, "We really did have bad tempers when we were young."

Marvel Schiller crossed his arms and said, "But he's quite handsome… Look at that cut, huh, it makes Stark's constant accusations that I can only change lightbulbs seem ridiculous."

"This angle of attack is quite tricky…" DC Schiller leaned on the railing, looking up, "If only I knew, I would've had him fight Batman that day. Watching two masters spar would've been very exciting."

Just as Moonlight Schiller was hovering in midair, halted due to the noise in his head, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Sky Carrier rose into the sky, appearing on one side of the battlefield. Natasha stood on the deck, addressing Schiller:
