Chapter 157 Regaining Strength
The out-of-control Hulk was finally subdued by "Superman", the embodiment of the light of justice.
As one of the world's top streaming media companies, Voice of Water will certainly not miss such explosive news. The great Superman once again shows his power to the world.

Everything seemed to be settled, except for the Avengers whose fighting spirit had been almost crushed by Ultron.

In the ruined building, Tony Stark found Bruce Banner who was on the verge of death.
Fortunately, Bruce Banner did not die immediately due to the strong recovery ability brought by the Hulk's physical fitness, and he was still in a state of lingering life.
The Quinjet also rushed to the rescue, and the exhausted Avengers needed some time to recover their lost fighting confidence and state.

Considering that Ultron has hacked into and browsed the SHIELD database, some of the original safe houses have lost their "safe meaning" and the Avengers seem to have nowhere to go.

At Hawkeye Barton's suggestion, they chose to go to Barton's "secret cozy cabin", where there was no record of the data files entering S.H.I.E.L.D.
This is also a rare "good deed" done by Nick Fury, the old Biden, to help Hawkeye Barton, the only Avenger who has a complete family, to relieve his worries.
This team, which already seems to have cracks, will need some time to readjust.

——Hawkeye Barton's Cabin
Bruce Banner, wrapped in bandages, lay weakly on the bed in the bedroom.
"Now the whole world has seen it... the real Hulk."

Bruce Banner spoke in a heavy tone, with sadness between his brows.
When his rationality returned to this frantic body, deep regret swept Bruce Banner's heart.

Through the remaining memories and everything that happened before that I learned from other methods and channels,
The fear and disgust people showed when they looked at Hulk, the same look they gave the Chirita invading monster, made Bruce Banner fall into deep pain and self-blame.

"Hulk shouldn't get involved anymore... I'll just ruin everything."

"I'm just a nuisance."

Depression spreads.
"No! You are not! At least in our opinion, you are not a nuisance."

Natasha Romanoff spoke out to comfort him, but it was obvious that this could not completely correct Bruce Banner's thoughts at the moment.

In the living room, the rest of the Avengers gathered here.

Tony Stark spoke awkwardly under the confused gaze of the crowd, using his usual humorous jokes.

"How are my new contact lenses?"

At this moment, a faint blue light flickered in Tony Stark's pupils.

But such an abrupt turn obviously cannot easily cover up the abnormality of Tony Stark.
But it also shows that Tony Stark doesn't seem to want everyone to explore this matter more deeply.

So people chose to ignore all of this.
"Ultron is like tearing apart marshmallows, tearing our supposedly unbreakable "world's most powerful superhero team" apart."

Steve Rogers muttered to himself, and although this seemed to be very demoralizing, there was no doubt that this was an irrefutable fact that had already happened.

"We don't know what the 'witch' showed Bruce Banner."

"But you don't look too bad, do you?"

Tony Stark suddenly spoke, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"People without a dark side cannot be trusted."

"That's something you haven't seen before!"

"Maybe I'm old fashioned?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the quarrel between the two began.
"Tony Stark! You should know this well, right?"

"Ultron wants to divide us and make us lose the confidence to continue fighting it!"

Steve Rogers' words were fierce, but Tony Stark was not to be outdone.
"Of course I know, but I need to do some experiments with Dr. Banner!" "Even if these experiments will affect us?"

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was about to become more and more intense, Hawkeye Barton's wife walked up to them at the right time.
"Mr. Stark, the old tractor in the warehouse won't start for some reason. I think it needs your help."

The quarrel between the two came to an end.

Following Hawkeye Barton's wife to the warehouse, she stopped at the door and turned away.

Tony Stark glanced through the shadows of the warehouse.
There, Nick Fury, dressed in casual clothes, sat.

"Long time no see, Director. I'm a little uncomfortable not seeing you in that windbreaker."

Tony Stark raised his lips, still teasing in his words.

Nick Fury also smiled calmly.
"I am no longer the director. The SHIELD, which exists in name only, has no need to exist anymore. I am just an ordinary old man."

But soon, Nick Fury's dark face suddenly became serious.

"Look me in the eyes, Tony, and tell me you can shut down Ultron!"

Hearing this, a hint of gloom flashed in Tony Stark's eyes.
"I am the one who killed the entire Avengers."

Nick Fury frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"I saw everything... Everyone is dead. I brought destruction upon them. The world has ended. It's all my fault!"

"That's just a little trick created by the witch's magic. It's not worth believing in. It's just to destroy the illusion in your mind!"

"No, Fury, you don't understand. That was not an illusion at all. I can't tell you the specific reason. I can't explain it to everyone. I felt it, but one thing I am sure of is that I did something wrong..."

Tony Stark's emotions were released, and his blue eyes met Nick Fury's gaze.

They looked at each other speechlessly.

Nick Fury's appearance did bring some hope to the Avengers, and the originally tense atmosphere became lively.
As night fell, the Avengers regained their confidence and gathered in the cabin again to discuss the next strategy.

"It's not that Ultron didn't pay attention to the nuclear missile launch code. Its ultimate goal is to destroy the world."

"Then why didn't it do what it wanted? Uh... I mean based on its ability, it shouldn't be difficult for Ultron."

"You know, when I was in high school, I tried to break into the Pentagon firewall."

After a moment's silence, Nick Fury gave his answer.

"There is an unknown force that is constantly changing the password,"

"We don't know who they are, but the good news is that because of their presence, we have enough time to discuss the next steps here."
