Chapter 190 Nobody Hates a Batman Who Can Laugh (laughs)
Have you ever wondered how the main and supporting characters in entertainment products like games and anime would live without screenwriters involved? Furthermore, what would happen to those main and supporting characters if the entertainment product were shelved due to copyright or other factors?
After his conversation with Professor X, Rune finally understood the answer to the question and also learned the origin of his system, which should have been a good thing. However, upon learning that countless Supermen, Batmen, and Wonder Women were eyeing other universes, Rune's mood became heavy.
"Do you have a Batman who can laugh over there?" Rune asked with a strange feeling.
Fear flashed in Professor X's eyes, and frankly, that was enough for Rune to know the answer to the question. Charles said in a low, hysterical voice, "Of course, he's a complete madman, I never want to see him again!"
"Well—" This is somewhat within my expectations. Rune sighed. "I would feel very sorry if such a huge organization didn't have a Batman who could laugh."
Just after he had been chatting with Professor X for a while, a certain genius with legs walked over.
"You're a real bastard!" Tony punched Rune hard in the chest, the impact of steel against flesh producing a metallic clang. He then sat down. "I know why you wouldn't fight Red Skull with us, I know exactly why! Rune, you're so cunning!"
"Oh, then could you please tell me why?" Rune didn't seem to care much; he finally used his telepathic abilities to tell X...
The professor sent a message and then watched him leave.
"Hmph!" Tony sneered. "You just want to play the savior in front of the Avengers, so we'll willingly hand over what you want, right?"
Rune looked Iron Man up and down, then asked, "Did Nick Fury tell you that? How come I see him dead at Namor's hands in other villains' minds?"
"That's just a clone—"
"Indeed." Rune nodded. "You choose to believe the words of a one-eyed man who isn't even willing to fight alongside you, and you interpret those who are willing to save you and turn the tide for you with the utmost malice. Am I right?"
Tony suddenly stopped talking and fell silent, but Rune continued.
"The reason I'm not fighting alongside you is quite simple. I've discovered that Doctor Strange is a traitor, but I don't believe I have more say in your affairs than your Strange. Even if I did say it, you'd probably just think I'm undermining your unity."
Tony seemed about to retort, but Rune countered, "You were even willing to listen to Nick Fury and come here to condemn me, Tony. You've always hated his attempts to manipulate you, but even so, you were still willing to listen to him. Do you know what that behavior makes you?"
Rune laughed and said something extremely malicious: "It's like a kid trying to escape the tutoring class his mom has arranged for him, but we all know that kid will eventually go to tutoring class, Tony."
"That's enough!" Tony shouted, but he quickly realized Rune meant it, so he sat down as well. Rune used healing magic on his leg, healing his injury.
“See, that’s how people are; they’re more inclined to believe those they’re close to than the truth. There’s no benefit in me exposing another Strange to your faces. You won’t believe my side of the story, and Red Skull will be on guard. Besides,” Rune patted him on the shoulder, “I can’t challenge Fury’s command. He’s actually doing a pretty good job, right?”
Tony looked back and saw people rescuing people from the crashed Helicarrier. Some members of the Thunder Commando team decided to use this opportunity to their advantage.
And their last-minute attack on Red Skull did buy them valuable time.
"But it's not good enough." Iron Man sighed. "If it weren't for your help, our world would be finished."
"It's not that bad," Rune added. "It's just that countries are frantically dropping nuclear bombs on each other, turning the whole world into a wasteland."
All the heroes are dead, and then everyone just plays Mad Max together.
"Evil—that game that makes you eat maggots?" Iron Man looked disgusted. "Doesn't that just mean the world is doomed?"
"Yeah, but anyway, we won." Rune looked at the setting sun in the distance, then suddenly realized, "By the way, where's Steve?"
A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Avengers Tower, not long after.
"Yes, we haven't been back long," Steve said politely, and Black Panther nodded beside him. They weren't lying.
After their successful prison break and defeat of the Golden Leopard, Black Panther had to quickly deal with a series of tasks, including eliminating traitors and adjusting national policies. Unfortunately, Steve wasn't very good at these things, so the two spent a considerable amount of time on them.
Black Panther, without any changes, opted to stick to the previous policy and arrived at Avengers Tower almost immediately in his vibranium ship. However, they were met with a large crowd of people who considered Avengers Tower a safe haven. They had to reassure these Americans again until all the heroes returned.
"Thank you for your hard work." Daredevil, who had interacted with people from the lower classes before and knew just how difficult they could be, looked at Steve with admiration.
"It's what I should do." Steve shook his head. "Besides, I think we have a few urgent issues to deal with right now, such as the Inhumans' rebellion, and those six Infinity Stones—"
Tony Stark interjected, "Don't forget, there's also the Hulk who's back."
The Hulk is indeed restrained by a sorcerer who can easily influence emotions, but this sorcerer may not be willing to act. If this matter is not handled properly, the entire city could be destroyed. The Illuminati is in the wrong for banishing the Hulk. They tricked the Hulk into boarding that spaceship under the guise of righteousness, but now the Hulk has been brought back by Red Skull, which makes Tony and Strange feel very embarrassed.
"I still have to help rebuild Asgard." Thor had just woken up. The spell the Enchantress cast on him had ravaged his mind, leaving him somewhat weak and unable to function properly. Even his voice was much weaker. "My dad just sent me a message telling me to go back immediately."
"Don't forget, we also need to figure out how to deal with the traitor Namor," Black Widow calmly reminded him. She didn't know what conditions Red Skull had promised the King of the Seven Seas that made him willing to publicly turn against the Avengers and even kill a clone of the King of Agents.
Despite defeating the Red Skull, the group still had many things to deal with. Rune simply watched them argue from the sidelines—a scene rarely seen in movies or comics.
