Chapter 143 The Key to a New Era
Faced with the fully assembled Avengers, the remaining Hydra was quickly defeated by this overwhelming force.
After the fall of [Bard's Castle], [Mind Scepter] once again returned to the hands of the Avengers.
The Quinjet flew steadily in the stratosphere.
After handing over the driving authority to Jarvis, Tony Stark stood up and left the cockpit.

He walked slowly to the side of Thor, the god of thunder. In the container box, a pale golden long-handled pointed scepter was quietly placed inside.

Turning his eyes away from the brilliant blue light, Tony Stark spoke in a deep voice,
"You have been tracking SHIELD's whereabouts since its collapse and cleansing..."

"That's right, but fortunately I've found it, and it's time to end it."

"We need to first understand clearly what Hydra did with it?"

"Not just those energy weapons... but also those two 'power enhancers/superpowers'."

Thor's face was filled with smiles. He was a warlike man and would not come to Earth for no reason.

While reuniting with his girlfriend after a long separation, he was also trying to track down the whereabouts of the [Mind Scepter]. After all, it belonged to Loki and was under the jurisdiction of Asgard.
As for whether the old guy Odin is aware of the inside story, it is unknown.

But obviously, Tony Stark would not say irrelevant nonsense for no reason. He narrowed the "distance" between the two through words, and the harmonious atmosphere became more harmonious.
He also put forward his "requests and ideas" at the right time.
"Thor, I have had some discussions with Dr. Banner, and I think we need to check it out before returning it to Asgard, is that okay?"

"Just a few days. I'll return it to you before I leave."

"You will come to the farewell party, right?"

Tony Stark, understanding Thor's heroic and almost innocent character, made full use of the art of language.
While expressing his small request politely and respectfully, he also gave enough face to Thor, the god of thunder, and was very aware of his preference - "celebrating victory with wine and revelry."

This also gave them time to study the [Scepter of the Mind].

"No problem, my friend!"

Thor laughed and patted Tony Stark on the shoulder.

The fighter plane flew very fast and smoothly. Soon, it arrived at its destination - the old Stark Industrial Building, which was renovated and rebuilt into the Avengers Building.

The huge "A" logo symbolizing the Avengers Alliance stands on the side of the building, and the Avengers, who have finished their exciting battle, have returned here.
The Avengers also began to "relax" after a long time:
Thor began to enjoy the almost unlimited supply of fine wines and delicacies from all over the world, immersed in joy and celebrating his victory.

Hawkeye Barton, who was accidentally injured on the battlefield, came to the medical laboratory with Natasha to receive the most advanced treatment technology currently available - [Regeneration Cradle].
Lying on the surgical experimental platform, the extended robotic arm began to operate at high speed, and a light blue spectrum swept across, forming a translucent flesh-colored "film" that covered the originally bloody and hideous wound.

Zhao Hailun was excited as he introduced this medical technology that could change the world to everyone.
"The molecular connection process is almost instantaneous. Your cells cannot sense this subtle change at all. It only takes 20 minutes for you to recover as before, without any difference!"

Tony Stark, holding a glass of whiskey, also came here in a relaxed manner and simply greeted everyone.
He gave some instructions to Dr. Zhao Hailun, then turned around and left the medical laboratory. He had more important things to do.

The person who can help Tony Stark lay the foundation for this great plan is Dr. Bruce Banner, who also has a genius mind.
Tony Stark hurriedly and excitedly came to the cutting-edge laboratory where Bruce Banner was.

"Banner, I need to have a serious talk with you about the scepter."

Bruce Banner, who was still sorting out data, looked puzzled and slowly raised his head.
"Hydra lost Zora, and Alexander Pierce led them, uh... the support of SHIELD before. Why was Strucker still able to create those things?" "We have the answer now. I have been studying the scepter, or more precisely, the gem in it,"

“During the research process, I got something special.”

While talking non-stop, Tony Stark used gestures to control the
A light orange data simulation model projection appeared in the laboratory.

Bruce Banner's eyes widened, and he also became interested.

"Jarvis was originally just a human-computer interaction program. Although it has undergone neural deep learning using big data, it still cannot be called true artificial intelligence,"

"I basically handed over the armor, security system, and Iron Legion to Jarvis for custody. It handled a lot of things."

"But now, everything is different. Faster, stronger and more advanced 'guys' have appeared!"

Then, a brain-like data model that was far larger than the model projection shown by Jarvis and had a more complex and complicated data structure appeared in the laboratory, emitting a deep blue glow.

"Real artificial intelligence!?"

Bruce Banner spoke in shock. Apparently, he was also shocked by the "blockbuster" thrown by Tony Stark.

"Yes, remember the plan I told you about?"

"Ultron is no longer something that only exists in the plan!"

"If we can harness this power and use it in the Iron Legion,"

"Something like the Battle of New York will never happen again!"

"We don't even need to fight anymore to avoid any casualties!"

"The world will finally usher in eternal peace!"

Tony Stark's tone became more and more agitated, and he seemed to be in a trance.
"And [Ultron] is the key to opening a new era!"

Bruce Banner, on the other hand, was hesitant and raised some rational questions in a calm tone.
But obviously, this could not convince Tony Stark, who had already developed an obsession.

The two finally reached a balanced agreement and temporarily left the cutting-edge laboratory.

No one noticed that the radio quietly placed on the counter in the corner of the wall trembled slightly for a moment, and the logo that was worn out and unclear flashed.
