On the other side, Tony reacted quickly, covering little Morgan's eyes with his hand to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.
Nano Tony, who had been further away from Morgan because he had stepped forward to question the Fake Rhodey, saw this and felt a sense of relief in his eyes...
Perhaps, having an extra father who loves Morgan isn't a bad thing...
Just as his other self had said before, if an accident like the Skrulls—whom he couldn't even detect—occurred in his Universe again, and he even died in battle because of it, at least Morgan would have a father from another Universe to rely on, wouldn't she?
Thinking of this, Nano Tony walked up to the Tony who was shielding Morgan and said with a smile, "Hey, Tony, if Morgan is willing, I think maybe she can stay in this Universe to play for a while..."
Hearing Nano Tony's words, Tony's eyes instantly filled with pleasant surprise. Looking at Morgan in his arms, he said excitedly, "Little Morgan, would you like to stay in Daddy's Universe to play for a while?"
Hearing this, little Morgan tilted her small head, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Tony, and said softly, "Then can you let me eat cheeseburgers and fruit popsicles every day?"
Hearing this answer, which was equivalent to an agreement, Tony's face practically bloomed with joy: "I can, I definitely can! I'll go buy every burger joint and fruit popsicle shop in all of New York for you right now!"
At that moment, a hand clapped heavily on Tony's shoulder. Nano Tony said in a deep voice, "No, Morgan can only eat a burger once a week and two popsicles; otherwise, it'll be bad for her health!"
Hearing this, little Morgan turned around and hugged Tony tightly. Looking at Nano Tony, she said huffily, "Bad Daddy, I'm going to give my 'love you three thousand' to my new Daddy!"
Hearing the 'love you three thousand' line, Tony was so charmed by little Morgan he felt like he was melting. He immediately chose to stand with her, sharing a common enemy against Nano Tony:
"That's right, my other self, you really are stingy. Don't you know that daughters are meant to be pampered?"
Nano Tony looked at the 'father and daughter' standing on the same front, shook his head helplessly, and said nothing more.
He wasn't worried that his other self would actually indulge Morgan until she got a stomach ache. After all, even if Tony couldn't tell right from wrong, this Universe's 'mother' to Morgan, Pepper, would surely teach Tony to distinguish between the two...
Watching the two harmonious Tonys and little Morgan, who bonded them together, the smile on Ryan's lips deepened.
Yes, that's it. Between the two Universes, just like this, keep building deeper bonds... until they are inseparable!
That way, his Universe would effectively have the combat power of two Universes!
If they encountered some great cosmic crisis in the future, wouldn't their chances of victory double because of it?
As for what kind of cosmic crisis it would be, Ryan wasn't quite sure himself...
It was just that since he had devoured the entire Inheritor Family last time and gained the power of the many Spider-Men they had consumed—causing his already extremely strong Spider-Sense to strengthen again—he had a faint, unknown premonition of bad things to come...
This premonition told him that a disaster affecting his Universe, or rather, the entire Multiverse, was on a countdown!
On the other side, Ryan shook his head, no longer dwelling on his ethereal premonition. He tapped his knuckles on the conference table, drawing everyone's gaze away from Rhodes' corpse, which had reverted to its Skrull form.
Tony stood up from the head seat, and his previously calm expression turned solemn:
"I believe you all saw just now. Whether it's our Universe or the Universes where you Avengers come from, the existence of the Skrulls has already seriously threatened the survival of us humans!"
"They don't just want to stay on Earth temporarily, nor is it as simple as wanting a piece of land to settle on. What they want is to seize everything we have like parasites, and even take the entire Earth that belongs to us humans!"
"So, I am now calling for a vote. Those who agree to completely eliminate all Skrulls on both Earths, please raise your hand..."
"Those who disagree can leave the conference room now, or return to your own Universes, because what happens next will have nothing to do with you..."
"Now... let the voting begin!"
As Ryan's voice fell, the conference room became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
First, our angry God-King Thor was the first to raise his hand. After all, he had already said he would chop off all the Skrulls' heads!
Seeing his other self agree, the Thor from Ryan's own Universe naturally had to support him and immediately followed with a vote!
Following closely, to everyone's surprise, the second ones to raise their hands in agreement were actually the Captain Americas of both Universes!
This caused everyone to look at the two Captain Americas in surprise.
After all, in their impression, Captain America should be the representative of America's truth, goodness, and beauty—someone who shouldn't like such mass-killing behavior...
First was the normal Captain America. Facing everyone's gaze, he said with a serious face:
"I am a soldier. My only mission is to protect the innocent humans on Earth. It was so when I fought the Nazis and HYDRA in the past, and it is the same now against the Skrulls who threaten countless innocent humans!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
Yes, although Captain America is somewhat of a 'Holy Mother,' the objects of his compassion have only ever been humans. Toward aliens, he has never shown mercy.
If you don't believe it, ask the Chitauri who were beaten by Captain America. Was the force of the shield landing on them the same as the force of the shield landing on humans?
One is 'kill if you can kill,' and the other is 'knock unconscious if you don't have to kill'!
Did you really think your Uncle Rogers, who participated in World War II, was playing around with you?
As for the brainwashed Captain Hydra, the reason was even simpler. He gave a sinister smile: "I don't have as many sanctimonious, trashy reasons as he does. For me, it's just that fighting is fun!"
The Captain Hydra, whose personality had been inverted by HYDRA's brainwashing, was different from Captain America, who was unwilling to fight unless necessary. Captain Hydra had been inverted into a pure combat maniac!
However, like Captain America, no matter how much his personality was inverted, he was still a human and always acted from a human standpoint!
After Captain America came the Iron Men, who shared a love-hate relationship with him.
The two Tonys raised their hands together and said in deep voices: "Everyone, even if we don't escalate this to the entire human population, I believe you saw just now that the Skrulls have already formulated plans targeting all of us Avengers. Your loved ones are all on the Skrulls' replacement list. If you don't want to see the people around you silently replaced by monsters wearing your loved ones' skins one day, I think there's nothing to hesitate about on this matter!"
