Chapter 224 - Ancient One Defies the Heavens, Slaps Out the Hulk's Soul

  "So, Stark, are you trying to tell us that Master Ancient One might have foreseen Thanos using the stones to destroy half of all life in the universe!"

  Dr. Banner's eyes sparkled as he stared at Tony Stark, "So Master Ancient One also knew that only by gathering all six Infinity Stones could this be changed?"

  "Exactly, that's pretty much the idea."

  Tony Stark nodded, "Or if the Hulk told Master Ancient One about this, she could immediately look into the future and confirm that what the Hulk said was true.""For ordinary people, the idea of using the Infinity Stones to save the world is something that cannot be verified, but for the Ancient One, there is indeed a way to verify it!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to convey."

At this point, Tony Stark glanced around at everyone and continued to ask, "So the question arises, in such a scenario, would the Ancient One be convinced by the Hulk?"

Everyone present looked at each other, and for a moment, no one could find the words to respond.They each engaged in a bit of role reversal, imagining themselves in the position of the Ancient One. If one day they were suddenly informed by the Hulk of such earth-shattering secrets, and upon verification found those secrets to be true.

  The world truly needed the Time Stone in their possession.

  Would they then hand over the stone?

  Many believed they would.

  "Stark makes a valid point."

  Strange immediately spoke up, agreeing with Tony Stark's perspective, "Whether a person can be convinced depends on the specific circumstances; it cannot be generalized.""To put it bluntly, this is a negotiation. The art of language in a negotiation only serves as a decoration, while the decisive factor is the bargaining chips of both parties!"

"Clearly, in this negotiation, it is Hulk who holds the key bargaining chip!"

"So it seems, option B is the same as option A. We can neither exclude nor confirm it, we can only leave it pending." Thor shrugged on the side.

"Great! We've analyzed two options, all for nothing.""Star-Lord muttered a bit, then turned his gaze to option C, 'But this C, we should be able to rule it out, right?'

  The related footage clearly showed that the Time Stone had always been kept within the Eye of Agamotto, which was then worn around the neck of Doctor Strange.

  When in use, only Doctor Strange could open the eye using magic.

  Since Doctor Strange joined Kamar-Taj later and then obtained the Time Stone, it was undoubtedly kept by someone else before that."Given the status of the Ancient One in Kamar-Taj, combined with the context of this question, it is clear that the Time Stone was previously kept on the Ancient One.

Then the situation should be quite similar to that of Doctor Strange.

Both utilized the Eye of Agamotto, worn around the neck.

If someone wanted to steal such an item from the Ancient One, it would mean that they would need to remove the Eye of Agamotto from the Ancient One's neck.

And they would have to do so without the Ancient One noticing!

After all, if detected, it would no longer be theft, but robbery.In other words, someone would need to take the Eye of Agamotto right under the Ancient One's nose without her noticing.

After careful consideration, everyone indeed felt that this scenario was quite unlikely.

After some discussion, everyone's views and opinions were pretty much the same.

"We can't say for sure that this option won't happen, but compared to the other options, the likelihood is indeed much smaller."

Captain America had the final say and made the summary.

This option can indeed be ruled out.

"Option D can also be ruled out."Now, only the last option remains. Dr. Banner immediately and decisively stated, "If the Hulk had no reason at that time, he simply couldn't have done something like threatening people."

"And if the Hulk were completely rational, he would never do such a thing. Look at me, do you think I'm the type of person who would threaten others with their lives?"

Option D was naturally and without controversy ruled out.

The possibility of Option C was also low, and everyone was not prepared to spend too much effort analyzing it.What everyone really needs to do next is to compare options A and B to see which one is more likely.

"Everyone, no matter what the answer to this question is, it's highly probable that Hulk first communicated with the Ancient One." After some contemplation, Captain America came to this conclusion.

His tone was quite certain.

"After the Infinity Stones were destroyed, our future selves traveled back in time to collect the six stones. The importance of this task, even if I don't say it, everyone can probably understand.""If the Hulk didn't possess rationality, I don't think anyone would assign him such an important mission."

"That makes sense!" Thor immediately nodded in agreement.

Sending someone who can't control their anger and only knows how to smash everything to carry out such a crucial task is indeed quite absurd.

It would be nothing short of going there to cause chaos.

There's virtually no chance of success.

After all, the mission isn't to destroy Kamar-Taj, but to find the gem.So, since the Hulk was sent on such a "non-smashing" mission, it indeed indicates that the Hulk possesses the rationality of an ordinary person.

In other words, at this moment, the Hulk is actually Dr. Banner.

And Dr. Banner, as we have known for quite some time, is a polite intellectual who is unlikely to resort to violence immediately.

"Even if the Hulk communicated with the Ancient One first, we still don't know the outcome of that communication.""Hulk convinced the Ancient One, or Hulk failed to convince the Ancient One, leading to a battle with her—both scenarios are possible."

Strange chimed in from the side.

"Exactly, both possibilities are plausible. The specific choice depends on Dr. Banner," Tony Stark said, addressing Dr. Banner.

Following the group's usual approach, since this question pertains to Dr. Banner, it naturally falls to him to answer."I remember you mentioned that these mages can alter the surrounding world at will, traverse space, and even reverse time. The previous footage also displayed various god-like abilities," Dr. Banner pondered for a moment before speaking. "I think the possibility of the Hulk defeating such beings is not very high, and the chance of defeating them and taking the gem is even slimmer."

After all, the Hulk's strength is primarily manifested in physical attacks, and that's about it.

But the mages' abilities far exceed this scope.Even if the Hulk really defeated the Ancient One, she could simply open a portal to leave or reverse time, leaving the Hulk helpless.

In such a scenario, the possibility of the Hulk seizing the Time Stone is really not that high.

"Since there is a considerable possibility that the Hulk could communicate with the other party, and the Hulk still holds a fairly strong 'bargaining chip,' I tend to choose B for this question!"

Dr. Banner announced his answer to the system's large screen.

Although not entirely certain, no one can guarantee 100% accuracy in such quizzes."Correct answer!"

"Congratulations to the respondent, Bruce Banner, for winning the Horse Talisman of the Twelve Talismans as a reward!"

"The reward has been issued, please check and receive it!"

With this announcement from the system, a grayish hexagonal "chess piece" appeared in Dr. Banner's hand.

One side of it was engraved with the image of a horse.

Undoubtedly, it was the Horse Talisman from the Twelve Talismans.

"Talisman? So this is a talisman?"Star-Lord glanced at the horse talisman, his curiosity piqued first, "Is this some kind of magical item? To be honest, it looks a bit unremarkable."

"Although it appears unremarkable, it is actually a very magical object!" Dr. Banner's eyes were filled with excitement and a hint of awe, "This is simply the greatest magic in the world!"

"Banner, what does this horse talisman do?" Tony Stark asked curiously from the side, "It's not going to summon a horse from this little thing, is it?""Stark, your imagination is truly remarkable," Dr. Banner chuckled. "But you're completely off the mark, way off!"

"I don't know why this talisman is called the Horse Talisman, but it has absolutely nothing to do with horses or anything like that. Its main function is healing!"

"According to the system's introduction, this item can eliminate all effects caused by external forces for the holder. It's not just illnesses; it can also remove poisons, magic, and other forms of power.""With it, we no longer have to fear the Scarlet Witch's mind magic, Loki's scepter, and things like that."

As Dr. Banner introduced it, the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but light up.

Indeed, as Dr. Banner said, this is truly an extraordinary thing.

"If I were to suffer the backlash from snapping my fingers in the final battle, could this Horse Talisman also heal me?" Tony Stark couldn't help but eagerly ask from the side."Unfortunately, Stark, the power of the Horse Talisman is not that strong. It cannot withstand the immense power of the six Infinity Stones."

Dr. Banner shook his head, "But it can indeed neutralize some of the effects of the Infinity Stones on you, just not all of them. That is to say, it can slow down your death."

Even though it only slows it down, this Horse Talisman is still incredibly miraculous.

After all, those are the Infinity Stones, containing the most powerful forces in the entire universe.

"So now, Banner has become the most formidable doctor in the entire universe.""Strange couldn't help but shrug at this moment, 'A doctor even more skilled than me.'"

"No, Strange, the most skilled doctor is still you. It might be more appropriate to call me a healer," Dr. Banner said earnestly.

"A healer even more remarkable than those from Asgard!" Thor added with a laugh from the side.

"The only thing I don't understand is why such a magical talisman is called the Horse Talisman," Star-Lord couldn't help but voice his confusion. "What does all this have to do with a horse?"After a brief discussion on the scene, everyone was still clueless and utterly confused.

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't comprehend the naming logic of the Horse Talisman, completely unable to associate what a horse has to do with healing or elimination.

"'The Horse Talisman of the Twelve Talismans,' everyone, besides this miraculous Horse Talisman, there are eleven other similar talismans!"

Thor said enthusiastically, "I'm very curious now about what the other eleven talismans look like."

Everyone present was equally intrigued.The Twelve Talismans are clearly in a parallel relationship, and the functions of the other eleven talismans should be on the same level as the Horse Talisman.

This truly fills everyone with boundless anticipation for the other ten talismans.

[Answering complete, starting to play the answer analysis!]

Shortly after, the system's prompt sounded, and a corresponding scene appeared on the big screen.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

First to appear on the big screen was a scene of aliens wreaking havoc and destruction in the city.But in the sky, there were densely packed Chitauri ships everywhere, with the Chitauri wielding energy guns, continuously attacking the city.

Countless energy bullets, like a rainstorm, enveloped the entire city.

"Chitauri? Could this be... the time of the Battle of New York?"

Thor couldn't help but speculate.

The invasion of New York by the Chitauri, based on the intelligence currently available, had only occurred during the Battle of New York.Of course, the Chitauri also participated in the Endgame battle, but at that time, they appeared alongside other fleets of Thanos.

  This "pure Chitauri" fleet was only seen in the Battle of New York.

  Whoosh!

  Amid the rampaging Chitauri ships, a golden "magic fan" spun through the air.

  It sliced through the ships as if cutting vegetables.

  One after another, the ships were cut in half and exploded.

  It was a sorcerer from Kamar-Taj!Everyone in front of the screen recognized it immediately.

  This "golden light magic" is quite distinctive.

  As everyone guessed correctly, on the rooftop of the New York Sanctum below, a bald woman in an orange robe was seen waving her arms towards the sky.

  With each wave, a "magic fan" was shot out.

  During the battle, the Eye of Agamotto hanging around the bald woman's neck came into view, and everyone instantly recognized her identity.

  It was none other than the Ancient One.

  Boom!Just as Master Ancient One was confronting the Chitauri fleet, a massive green figure plummeted from the sky and landed heavily on the rooftop.

Without a doubt, it was the Hulk.

After the Hulk appeared, he didn't waste any words and tried to push the door to enter the Sanctum directly.

"You might want to watch your step if you're heading that way," Master Ancient One's voice rang out. "We just waxed the floor."

"I'm here to see Dr. Strange," the Hulk stated bluntly to Master Ancient One, making his purpose clear.Hulk's condition is exactly as everyone expected. At this moment, apart from his enormous size, Hulk is no different from a normal person.

  He is in a completely rational version.

  "You've come about five years early," said the Ancient One. "Stephen Strange is performing surgery about five blocks away."

  "This woman is amazing!" Tony Stark exclaimed in awe, clicking his tongue in admiration.

  She could tell at a glance that Hulk was from the future!

  She even knew when Dr. Strange would become the Sorcerer Supreme!This woman truly knows the future!

  A true master, indeed a master!

  In everyone's impression, the Ancient One has always been an incredibly mysterious and awe-inspiring super master. Now, seeing her in action, it's clear that she is even more formidable than imagined.

  "Why are you looking for him?" The Ancient One's voice rang out as she then fixed her gaze on Hulk and asked.

  "That!" Hulk pointed at the Eye of Agamotto hanging around the Ancient One's neck.

  "I'm afraid that's not possible." Without hesitation,
