“I have to admit, I’ve done a lot of stupid things,” Tony Stark said in a low voice.
"Actually, you can't say it's too stupid," Conan said, rubbing his nose. "It's just that artificial intelligence has developed to a certain stage, and its unpredictability is too high..."
"If your original AI's basic settings are intact, and it doesn't determine that humans are a disaster, then... Ultron should eventually behave itself and protect Earth, right?"
“Anyway, I’m not going to get into this,” Tony Stark said noncommittally. “I’ll just stick to technology and improve myself.”
Artificial intelligence not only ended up as a machine crisis, but it also dragged Jarvis down with it...
Over the years, Jarvis has become more like family to Tony Stark, and Tony Stark is unwilling to take any risks associated with him.
“Let’s talk about something lighter,” Whitebeard noticed Tony Stark’s mood, thought for a moment, and then chuckled. “Your world’s S.H.I.E.L.D. has completely degenerated into Snake S.H.I.E.L.D.... That’s genius. How did they manage to be completely infiltrated by an enemy they once defeated?”
“Indeed,” Huang Rong nodded in deep agreement, “Ordinary forces cannot do such a thing.”
"...Is this a slightly more cheerful topic?" Tony Stark stared at Whitebeard expressionlessly. Do you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about what "cheerful" means?
But then he thought about it and realized that it seemed to be a joke about Nick Fury, and had little to do with him. He immediately laughed, "Indeed, it's ridiculous. Nick Fury calls himself a top agent! In the end, he's just building up power for the enemy."

Chapter 126 The World Codenamed Marvel is So Deep That Even Number Ten Has to Take Responsibility
Ying Zheng remained silent. He put himself in Nick Fury's shoes, deduced the situation, and finally came to a conclusion.
Even if he wanted to clean up the current mess at S.H.I.E.L.D., he could only do what happened in the original history: destroy and rebuild.
“However, the Infinity Stones.” Tony Stark suddenly paused, a shadow falling over his eyes.
He recalled the image Su Han had previously conjured: Thanos ripping the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. He then combined this scene with the final scene of Vision's birth in Avengers: Age of Ultron…
"The Infinity Stones are indeed a remarkable power." A clear voice suddenly rang out.
Tony Stark froze, then turned around and saw Number Ten sitting on the bronze chair. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Are you alright?"
"What problems could possibly arise?" Number Ten's voice remained as calm as ever.
Tony Stark opened his mouth, wanting to ask what the outcome of the contact between Number Ten and the person behind the King in Yellow was... but in the end, for various reasons, he swallowed his question.
Remembering his previous malicious speculations about Number Ten, he simply didn't have the face to ask.
Aizen's eyes flickered, realizing something. He turned to look at the bronze throne and, sure enough, found the council chairman sitting quietly there, looking down.
"You just said that the power of the Infinity Stones is very strong." Madara Uchiha glanced at the council chairman before turning his gaze back to Android 10, his voice becoming serious. This was the first time he had seen Android 10 express such admiration for a certain power.
“Indeed.” Su Han nodded as he controlled Number Ten. After all, Su Han was hoping to use Number Ten to trade for the Infinity Stones. “If all the Infinity Stones were collected, then with a snap of the fingers, one could wield the power to change the universe.”
"Whether it's wiping out half of all life in the universe, or rebooting the entire universe... or doing something else entirely. These things are easy for someone who can control the Infinity Stones."
The misty space was completely silent.
Madara Uchiha appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was deeply shaken.
Can it even reboot the universe? That's practically godlike power... even if it's an evil god, no...
Madara Uchiha's gaze sharpened. When Android 10 spoke of the Infinity Stones, although he praised them highly, his condescending attitude made it seem more like he was treating them as collectibles... rather than something he absolutely had to possess. In other words...
Madara Uchiha gently stroked the back of the chair with his fingers. He gave Number Ten a deep look, but did not discuss the matter further. Instead, he suddenly asked a question.
"Mr. Tony Stark's world... it's amazing that such a rare treasure could be born! It's truly astonishing."
“You’re wrong,” Number Ten’s voice remained unchanged. “The Infinity Stones are powerful… but the world designated Marvel is very special… there are others who could easily defeat Thanos with all the stones.”
On the other side, Aizen's expression was somber. When Android 10 talked about the Infinity Stones, his attitude was quite casual. However, when the topic turned to the entity that would later defeat Thanos... Android 10's attitude became serious.
In other words, the power to overturn the universe with a snap of the fingers is nothing to Number Ten... but the universe codenamed Marvel is far more complex. Even Number Ten would be wary of it.
"This is truly unexpected." Conan pushed up his glasses with one finger, appearing calm on the surface, but his finger was actually trembling.
He spoke softly, “Mr. Stark, your world… really doesn’t know what to say.”
Let alone anyone else, even Tony Stark himself was stunned. Was his world really that powerful and terrifying?
Thoughts flashed through Tony Stark's mind, and suddenly something occurred to him, his eyes lighting up. He turned to look directly at Su Han on the bronze throne, his voice respectful.
"Chairman, I have a question... If I find the Space Stone and use it to exchange for information about the remaining guy called Thanos, would that be feasible?"
Without the Space Stone, Thanos would no longer be able to collect all the Infinity Stones. On the other hand, he gained the information he wanted, making it a win-win situation.
Su Han stared silently at Tony Stark and uttered two words.
"no!"
What? Tony Stark froze.
Not to mention him, the other members of the council also showed slight changes in expression, unable to understand. After all, that was the Space Stone, symbolizing the power of the essence of space.
“It’s not that the values are different.” Su Han’s voice was calm. He looked at Tony Stark, who seemed somewhat incredulous, and sighed inwardly. If he could, he would also like to make the exchange, but unfortunately, the situation did not allow it.
He said, "The Infinity Stones are very special. Each stone is interconnected with the others! To make these stones disappear, they must all disappear simultaneously. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on the universe you inhabit."
The reason Thanos destroyed all the Infinity Stones simultaneously in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame was because of this!
The Infinity Stones either exist simultaneously or disappear simultaneously... Although Thanos's methods were cruel and cold-blooded, he was indeed thinking about the universe.
"Is that so?" Tony Stark gradually calmed down, but his gaze towards Su Han now held a hint of admiration and gratitude. After all, the Speaker of the Council could have easily kept this information from him.
Ying Zheng remained expressionless, showing no surprise whatsoever. Judging from Number Ten's previous attitude... the Infinity Stones probably held no appeal for Number Ten, let alone for the Council Speaker.
“Um,” Daigo Madoka touched his nose and spoke cautiously, “news about pyramids has appeared in my world. If all goes well… I should be able to transform into Ultraman Tiga soon.”
