So the Universe's public safety seems pretty good?"
Tony heard Harvey's words, pondering the effects of the Universe Translator, and asked.
"The Planets ruled by the major empires in the Universe naturally have better public safety."
"However, apart from those empire-ruled Planets, the Universe is much more chaotic than you imagine."
"After all, there are too many Planets in the Universe; some are more advanced than Blue Planet, and naturally, some are more backward than Blue Planet."
"When one's power is above all the attack and defense methods of a Planet, even if the Planet is destroyed, they have no way to stop it."
"And because of the vastness of the Universe, even if some Planets and races are destroyed, others may not even know who the Destroyer is."
"Not every Planet is as lucky as Blue Planet, which is not only protected by Odin but also by the Sorcerer Supreme."
Harvey could understand why Tony thought that way, so he patiently explained.
"It sounds like the Universe isn't as beautiful as I imagined…"
Tony's eyes were complex when he heard that Planets could be destroyed without anyone knowing who the Destroyer was.
Any intelligent being wants to build something, so that even after they die, there will be something to prove they once existed.
But in the Universe, an entire Planet might be destroyed without anyone knowing, which is simply tragic to imagine.
"Whether the Universe is beautiful or not depends on whether one possesses enough strength to ensure the survival of oneself and even one's Planet."
"If not, then the Universe indeed cannot be considered beautiful."
Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Compared to other Planets, Blue Planet is undoubtedly fortunate.
Because there are great figures guarding it, external enemies from the Universe simply don't dare to casually cause trouble here.
Even if they do cause trouble, they don't dare to cause overly severe damage, otherwise the Ancient One, Sorcerer Supreme guarding Blue Planet, and Odin would not sit idly by.
Compared to threats from aliens, most threats to Blue Planet still come from internal conflicts among its own people.
According to Blue Planet's current situation, even without alien invasions, if a World War breaks out again, mushroom bombs will bloom in various places on Blue Planet.
For Blue Planet, which has existed for a long time, at most, it would mean the extinction of life and a return to the primitive era, and after some more time, nature would revive again.
However, for humans, if mushroom bombs explode all over the World, it would be devastating, possibly even directly leading to the extinction of humanity.
Tony's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
He did not deny that Blue Planet was lucky, but this luck was only temporary.
Harvey had said that in 2017, Blue Planet would face a powerful enemy that would require them to cooperate with aliens.
Therefore, he needed to make all the preparations he could before the crisis arrived.
"This thing…"
Tony picked up the Universe Communicator, and just as he was about to ask how to use it, the lightweight Universe Communicator with a transparent screen automatically lit up, stopping his words.
"Instead of asking me, you should just let Jarvis analyze these things; he should be able to understand them more thoroughly."
Harvey smiled as he saw Tony's expression.
"I'll take them to Jarvis for analysis first."
Tony's eyes lit up at the suggestion, and he took off the wristbands he was holding.
Immediately, Tony moved his body with the large box and quickly descended to the Underground Research Lab.
Then, in just a few seconds, Tony returned to the second-floor hall.
"Drink?"
Afterward, Tony did not ask Harvey about the things he had brought back but instead took out his treasured fine wine and casually asked.
Tony had already undergone forty-eight Evolutions, so alcohol no longer affected him.
However, he still drank, as it had been his habit for many years, and it was not so easy to quit it quickly.
"Sure."
Harvey smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
"Harvey, how long do you plan to stay on Blue Planet this time?"
Tony heard that Harvey was willing to drink, took two wine glasses, and sat down on the sofa.
He knew that if there was nothing interesting on Blue Planet right now, Harvey would definitely not stay on Blue Planet for too long.
"I'll stay here for three or four days."
"Although the food in the Universe is good, the cuisine on Blue Planet also has a unique flavor."
"Has anything interesting happened on Blue Planet recently?"
Harvey picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and spoke.
The two talked casually, just like friends.
"I don't know if it's interesting or not, but if you're asking what has happened."
"My Iron Man Armor has been rapidly updated and iterated, becoming stronger and stronger."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has come to me again, hoping I can join the Avengers."
"What do you think? Should I join?"
Tony gently swirled his wine glass in his right hand as he spoke.
Perhaps it was because S.H.I.E.L.D. had been taught a lesson by Harvey last time, or because his Iron Man Armor was too formidable.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted him again, their attitude was much humbler; they dared not put on that arrogant facade but instead invited him more amicably.
"Tony, although you've joined the Void, that doesn't mean I'll dictate your actions."
"So, for something like this, just make your own decision."
Harvey said, not caring at all when Tony asked for his opinion.
"Don't you hate S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Tony said, somewhat surprised, when he heard he should make his own decision.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to quickly form the Avengers to deal with potential future dangers.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s previous arrogance was indeed quite annoying.
Tony himself didn't have much goodwill towards S.H.I.E.L.D. either.
"To me, even if those guys at S.H.I.E.L.D. jump around, they can't affect anything I want to do."
"So, as long as they don't get in my way, I'm too lazy to bother with them."
Harvey said calmly.
"It's great to be unburdened."
"But I might have to join them to help with Blue Planet's future."
"Do you have any suggestions for me regarding this?"
Tony felt relieved when he heard Harvey's words and spoke.
For Harvey, Blue Planet might just be a Planet he visits for leisure, but for Tony, Blue Planet is his home.
So, when it's time to contribute, he still has to contribute.
"Not everyone within S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel."
Harvey heard Tony's words, considered it for a moment, and still offered a suggestion.
After all, the current Tony is not the original Tony; he has not only joined the Void but also obtained the Universe Translator and materials from the Universe.
Tony's technology will be further enhanced, and if Tony gets too deeply involved with S.H.I.E.L.D., it might allow HYDRA to gain more.
Therefore, some necessary reminders still needed to be given to Tony.
"At most, I'll provide financial and logistical support to them."
"I will not give them any of the technology I control."
Tony heard Harvey's words, pondered for a moment, then realized something and spoke.
Harvey was no longer hinting but directly telling him that there were moles within S.H.I.E.L.D..
Although Tony didn't know the origin of that mole, it proved that S.H.I.E.L.D. was not entirely controlled by Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D..
"It's good that you have that awareness. Just do whatever you want to do."
Harvey nodded upon hearing this.
