Chapter 50: Tony's Proposal! The Illuminati!
To prevent Wanda, Lorna, and Pietro from being captured or attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. or other organizations, Jiang Bai decided to have them homeschool from now on. Through the AI's holographic environment, after absorbing all knowledge online, a teacher's image would be projected to instruct Wanda, Lorna, and Pietro.
After class, they would also undergo training with Martin to better develop their abilities and improve their physical fitness! Tony, on the other hand, called Jiang Bai about S.H.I.E.L.D., and Jiang Bai directly told him what happened after S.H.I.E.L.D. came to his place.
Tony remained silent for a moment before donning his armor and arriving at Jiang Bai's Villa. Jiang Bai was a bit surprised by Tony's sudden arrival. Upon entering the Villa, Tony spoke to Jiang Bai:
"Jiang, I want to form an organization myself. I don't trust official entities like S.H.I.E.L.D.! Joining them would likely mean becoming a lackey for those council members! So, I plan to establish my own organization. Look, I have money and brains, and with you, we can also research armor. We can totally form an organization ourselves! What do you think?"
"Just like the giant monsters that appeared before, I suspect they will definitely appear again in the future. When that happens, I don't want to just sit around and wait for Death, with no other option but to run away! How about it, let's do it together! I've already thought of a name for the organization, it's called the Illuminati!"
Looking at Tony's solemn expression, Jiang Bai was a bit puzzled. Tony's proposal, however, started to surprise him. He didn't expect Tony to actually want to form an organization himself! Finally, the moment Tony spoke the name, Jiang Bai couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
The Illuminati! An organization Jiang Bai was incredibly familiar with, a secret group from other parallel Universes, composed of the smartest and most powerful superheroes on Earth. This organization was distinctly different from superhero groups like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men. It existed to resolve crises threatening Earth and even the Universe, advocating for small sacrifices to avoid greater ones. The identities of Illuminati members were kept strictly confidential.
In the timeline, Tony, Peter Parker, and Stephen Strange once traveled to Titan on a cosmic battleship to confront Thanos there, but were ultimately defeated! The future Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange, willingly surrendered the Time Stone to save Tony.
Then Thanos directly left Titan! But in the Illuminati's Universe, Tony and others directly killed Thanos on Titan! This was even when Thanos possessed four Infinity Stones. Compared to that, the difference was not small at all. Thanos died very unceremoniously, impaled through the chest by his own weapon.
This was enough to prove the power of the Illuminati. What surprised Jiang Bai was that Tony in this Universe actually proposed the idea of forming the Illuminati to him! This made him wonder if it was a butterfly effect caused by his arrival, but he was indeed a bit tempted.
If the Illuminati were successfully formed, then he wouldn't have to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future, and he could obtain more special items later, which could also be used for Myriad Worlds Trading! This way, his speed of becoming stronger would also increase significantly.
Having a team is always easier than fighting alone, and he could even control the Illuminati then! Facing this World with Sentinels and creatures like Godzilla, he had always felt insecure. If the Illuminati were created, the pressure on him would shift to the Illuminati members.
No matter what, creating the Illuminati was beneficial to him. Tony watched Jiang Bai silently pondering and did not interrupt, sitting on the sofa, quietly waiting for Jiang Bai's reply! The reason he sought out Jiang Bai was initially because Jiang Bai had saved his life.
Also, Jiang Bai's own strength was already very powerful, coupled with things like the Magnetic Armor, and the laser weapons in the Villa before were not to be underestimated. As well as his inadvertent disdain for the government and the Military, when S.H.I.E.L.D. invited him, he knew that they would definitely invite Jiang Bai.
After his guess, he felt that Jiang Bai was not someone who would join a government organization, so after he refused S.H.I.E.L.D., he contacted Jiang Bai and told him his thoughts!
"Yes, but we don't have enough people yet!"
"OK! I understand, I already have a few candidates. The first is Professor X: Charles! He has the ability of Mind Reading! The second: Bruce Banner! He is a World-renowned physicist, but his current state seems not so good, he turns into a green monster! The third: Reed Richards! He graduated from World-class prestigious universities such as Caltech, Harvard, Columbia, and Empire State University, and holds Dr. degrees in multiple fields such as engineering, mathematics, and physics! And that person who repelled the giant beast!"
"Hmm... these are all fine. That person who repelled the giant beast is called Robert Reynolds! His ability is terrifying, he has the power of a million stars within him! After gaining these powers, he developed an evil personality: the Void! This also causes him to spend most of his energy contending with the Void!"
"Be careful when you look for him, don't let S.H.I.E.L.D. detect you! I'm not sure if S.H.I.E.L.D. has already contacted him, but it's better to be careful!"
"The power of a million stars! Hiss~ So, he could lose control at any time? It seems we need to speed up the formation!"
Finally, Jiang Bai agreed to form the Illuminati with Tony. Among the people Tony recommended, Reed Richards greatly surprised Jiang Bai, isn't that Mister Fantastic's real name! He is hailed as one of the smartest people on Earth! Coupled with Tony himself and Banner, it's simply going to be amazing.
The last candidate was actually Sentinel. Thinking of the terrifying strength he displayed in New York, Jiang Bai also understood why Tony would include him. Then Jiang Bai told Tony Sentinel's name, abilities, and the situation of his second personality, the Void.
Learning that the opponent could potentially lose control at any time made Tony's face look very bad. He didn't expect such an unstable existence to be on Earth! However, Jiang Bai didn't care. Strictly speaking, Hulk could contend with Sentinel.
Both have unlimited potential. In a past comic timeline, Hulk's ultimate form, Worldbreaker Hulk, once fought Sentinel, and Hulk ultimately won the battle! However, it was also because Sentinel was not in his normal state; he had to fight the Void, so he wasn't the normal Sentinel, but Hulk also seemed to have not used his full strength.
