Chapter 157 Who Killed Iron Man's Parents

"So why does Thanos collect gems?" Clint Barton asked.

"This is unknown for the time being." Bruce Banner said, "But could it be that when we fought Thanos, it was because Thanos came to steal the Infinity Stones? We already knew that the Mind Stone was on Vision's head at that time.

As for Strange, the Time Stone has always been hanging around his neck."

"So, as long as the gems are not on the earth, Thanos will not come to the earth?" Natasha Romanoff said, "A powerful enemy can be avoided."

"Unlikely." Steve Rogers said, "Thanos once said that when he succeeds, half of the people will survive. What do you mean by half of the people will survive? Doesn't it mean that the other half of the people will survive?

Will he die? Thanos definitely didn’t come to Earth just for the gems, he must have a plan to kill half of the Earth’s population!”

"You open your mouth to kill half of the people, you are really a madman!" Wanda Maximoff, who didn't speak much, couldn't help but speak out.

"In the previous question about Thor becoming fat, Hulk said that he lost half of the people." Tony Stark said, "It's also half of the population, so it was indeed Thanos who took action."

"But there are some discrepancies here." Clint Barton said, "Thanos clearly said that only half will survive. The implication is that the other half will rise, but the half of Asgard, they don't seem to be dead.

Even though they were caught, Hulk still wanted to rescue them."

"Maybe his plots for Earth and Asgard are different." Thor said solemnly, "For Earth, he wants to kill half of them, but for Asgard, he wants to capture half."

"This makes people even more desperate." Pietro Maximov expressed his opinion again, "It is much more difficult to capture than to kill. And in Asgard, the legendary divine domain, Thanos can capture half of the population.

, his strength is probably something that the earth cannot resist."

"Pietro, don't be too pessimistic." Steve Rogers patted Pietro Maximov on the shoulder, "No matter how powerful the enemy is, it has its weaknesses. If you find the weaknesses, you can defeat them. We are now

We already know about Thanos in advance and know some of his methods and purposes. We still have time to prepare and we can defeat him!"

"Could his weakness be his left hand?" Tony Stark said suddenly.

"Are you kidding, Stark?" Thor said after hearing this, "Don't you see what is on Thanos's left hand? There are four infinity stones on that glove! One infinity stone can make the world invincible.

He got four in one breath!"

"Of course I know this." Tony Stark glanced at Thor and said unhurriedly, "But didn't you notice that I put a piece of iron on Thanos' left hand during the battle? In

Why would I do this in such a difficult battle?"

"I also noticed this, and I was very surprised." Stephen Strange said, "At first I thought it was a bomb or some other weapon, but the piece of iron disappeared after it was launched into Thanos' left hand.

The movement was later seized by Thanos and thrown away. It seems that the function of that piece of iron was just to be launched into Thanos' palm?"

"Strange is right, the effect of that piece of iron seems to be just to stick in Thanos' palm." Tony Stark continued Stephen Strange's words, "I think about it, why do I

Would you do that kind of thing at that time? There is only one possibility, that way you can defeat Thanos! That is Thanos's weakness!"

"Although I can't understand it now, I agree with what Stark said." Steve Rogers, "The left hand, or rather the glove, is Thanos's weakness."

"That glove can hold four infinity stones, and it's obviously not a mortal thing." Stephen Strange turned to look at Thor, "Thor, do you know what that is?"

"I've never heard of it." Thor shook his head, "But there are exactly six grooves on the glove, corresponding to the six infinity stones. They should not be naturally formed, but specially made to hold the gems."

"So we find the person who can make the gloves in advance and tell him not to make the gloves?" Bruce Banner said, "Although this should not be able to stop Thanos in the end, it can delay his plan and buy us some time.

It’s also good.”

"I think I know a place that has the ability to make those gloves," Thor said. "I'll pay that place a visit."

"Where is that place?" Tony Stark asked, he was quite interested in the place where the Infinity Gauntlet could be built.

"Nidave, the dwarves live there." Thor said, "They are natural weapons experts. The weapons they create are terrifying and are famous throughout the universe."

"I didn't expect it to be true that dwarves are good at forging." Tony Stark expressed surprise.

[Question 6 begins, please be prepared.]

[There are two questions in this question. If you answer both questions correctly, you will be rewarded with Mark 42 manufacturing blueprints. If you answer one question correctly, you will be rewarded with a set of Mark 42 armor. If you answer all questions incorrectly, you will be deducted two years from your lifespan.]

[1. By whose hands did Iron Man Tony Stark’s parents die? 】

【Baron A Zemo】

【B Red Skull John Schmidt】

[C Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes]

[D was assassinated by gangsters]

"For so many years, I always thought that my parents died in a car accident, but I didn't expect that they were actually murdered!" Tony Stark's face became extremely ugly.

"I also thought Howard was an accident." Steve Rogers also felt very surprised. He said to Tony Stark, "Tony, Howard is not only your father, but also a good friend of mine. I'm sorry to hear this.

information."

"Thank you, Captain." Tony Stark's voice was choked with sobs. "My relationship with my father has never been very good. I used to hate him very much, but now, I, I miss him..." Tony Stark fisted

He tightened his grip and his voice became colder, "No matter who killed him, I will definitely avenge him! I was not a good son when he was alive. Now that he is dead, this is the only thing I can do for him. I

It will definitely be done well.”

"Howard is the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. If he dies by homicide, S.H.I.E.L.D. will not ignore it." Clint Barton also spoke up, "But the person who did it in the first place was really clever, and he could actually kill him.

Disguised as a car accident, even SHIELD didn't notice it."

"Yes, when Howard passed away, it was impossible for SHIELD not to investigate, but the final result was an accident." Natasha Romanoff also said, "It is not ordinary to deceive SHIELD so perfectly.

Power can do it."

"Who is Baron Zemo?" said Stephen Strange. "Is this man a noble?"

"Never heard of it." Tony Stark asked Clint Barton, "Does SHIELD know about this guy?"

"Others may know, but this is the first time I've heard of it." Clint Barton shook his head.

"I don't know either," Natasha Romanoff said.

"Since you know nothing, let's put it aside and continue to look at other options." Tony Stark's eyes fell on option B, "Red Skull, this is another super soldier during World War II and the leader of Hydra.

.He and my father were in hostile camps at the time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to kill my father, but with his status, it is impossible for him to do it himself, so option B is not an option.”

"Yes, the Red Skull is the one who gives orders. He has many executioners under his command who can help him pull the trigger. He does not need to do it himself." Bruce Banner said.

"If B is excluded, then C..."

"Stark, it can't be C's, it can't be Bucky's!" Tony Stark was interrupted by Steve Rogers before he finished speaking, "It's definitely not Bucky!"

"Captain, how do you know it's not him?" Tony Stark asked.

"Bucky is my best friend. We grew up together. I know him even better than I know myself!" Steve Rogers said, "He has a kind heart, he is not an executioner, and he will not kill innocent people!"

"Bucky is not the executioner?" Tony Stark sneered at that time, "Rogers! Do you think we are all fools? Bucky is now the executioner of Hydra! He participated in the murder of Nick Fury and tried to assassinate him.

You, his hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Are you telling me now that he is not an executioner?"

"Bucky is controlled by Hydra and he has no idea what he is doing." Steve Rogers said, "He..."

"He couldn't help himself? It was not his intention to kill? Or was he still in great pain? Rogers, please save these words and tell them to the families of those who were killed by Bucky. See if they will listen." Tony

Stark sneered again and interrupted Steve Rogers, "Captain, in my opinion, the answer to this question is Bucky Barnes. My father died at the hands of a gang. This is simply impossible.

.”

"Stark..."

"Captain, tell me, could my father be killed by a gang?" Tony Stark asked loudly, "My father is the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. With this background, he was killed by a gang, and after the gang killed him, the scene was faked.

It's so perfect that even SHIELD can't find it. Is this possible?" After questioning him, he didn't wait for Steve Rogers to reply and made a choice directly, "I choose C!"

【correct answer!】

The video started playing. It started out in a place like a military base. Two extremely thick iron doors slowly opened. A soldier wearing a red hat stepped forward, entered a password on the wall inside the iron doors, and then

The smaller iron door opened, revealing a red book.

The camera turned around, and the scene came to a place that looked like a laboratory. A man in a white coat tapped twice on the computer, a large glass cover rose, and thick white mist suddenly filled the air.

Although the white vapor blurred the vision, it could still be seen that the person in the glass cover had a metal arm and a mask on his face. His outfit was exactly the same as the one who chased Steve Rogers on the overpass during the "Insight Project Incident".

There is no doubt that this is Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier.

"Bucky, he has been frozen all the time. He will only be awakened when there is a mission!" Seeing this scene, Steve Rogers looked extremely ugly. He did not expect that his friend's situation was so miserable.

However, the worst thing was yet to come. Bucky Barnes' hands were tied to a chair, and an unknown instrument was stuck on his face. Blue arcs of electricity could be seen flowing on his face.

Directly electrifying someone is equivalent to electrocution. Steve Rogers, who has experienced war, naturally knows how painful electrocution is, which can be seen from Bucky Barnes's scream.

"Desire, rust, seventeen, dawn, stove, nine, kindness, return to the motherland, one, train carriage." The red hat soldier held the red book locked in the heavy iron door before Bucky Ba

Enns read a series of seemingly meaningless words in front of him.

But after reading these words, Bucky Barnes, who was sitting there looking like a zombie with empty eyes, reacted and turned to look at the soldier.

"Good morning, soldier." The red hat soldier put the red book aside.

"Ready for orders," Bucky Barnes said.

"I have a task for you." The red hat soldier held a stack of documents in his hand, "Sanction and retrieval, no one left alive."

Everything in the camera shows that on a night road, a car passed by, and among the trees, Bucky Barnes watched the car pass by without saying a word, and then the lights of the motorcycle he was riding lit up, and the motorcycle

With a roar, he chased after him.

There was no one here at all. Bucky Barnes stepped on the accelerator and passed the car. While driving side by side with the car, he punched the car's glass and smashed it into a tree on the side of the road.

Bucky Barnes stopped his motorcycle, walked to the car that was already on fire, opened the trunk, and found a suitcase inside. Bucky Barnes opened the suitcase, and there were blue boxes inside.

Small bag.

"Save my wife." Howard Stark climbed out of the car and begged Bucky Barnes for mercy. "Please, help me."

Bucky Barnes grabbed Howard Stark's hair with his right hand. Howard Stark recognized Bucky Barnes and called him by name, but Bucky Barnes said nothing.

, the iron fist of his left hand hit Howard Stark on the head twice.

Then he let go, and Howard Stark's body fell to the ground.

"Howard!" Tony Stark's mother's voice rang out from the car.

Bucky Barnes held Howard Stark in one hand, placed him in the driver's seat, and then strangled Tony Stark's mother to death with his hands.

The video ends here.

"Bucky Barnes!" Tony Stark looked at him with eyes splitting with anger and said with hatred, "I will kill you!"

"Stark, calm down, that was not Bucky's intention at all!" Steve Rogers said quickly, "I understand how you feel now..."

"Were your parents killed too?" Tony Stark asked.

"No."

"Then you don't understand." Tony Stark said.

"Well, Stark, I can't understand how you feel..."

"I can't even understand it, what else do you say?"

"..." Steve Rogers was so choked that he almost couldn't speak, but after a pause he still said, "Stark, you have also seen that Bucky is usually frozen, and he only freezes when performing tasks.

Thaw, and they have to read that series of instructions. The fact is obvious, you should be able to understand it, Stark! It is Hydra that controls Bucky’s brain. He has no idea what he is doing. You also saw him even

I don’t even recognize him anymore.”

"But that doesn't erase the fact that he killed my parents." Tony Stark said coldly.

"Tony, Howard was also a good friend of mine. I was very sad when he passed away. Now that I know he was murdered, I will avenge him. But we have to find the right target for revenge. The person who killed Howard was Hydra!"

Steve Rogers became more and more anxious as he spoke, "Bucky, he is just a weapon of Hydra. The weapon itself is not guilty, it is the person who uses the weapon who is guilty."

"I will not let anyone go." Tony Stark said, "Hydra, I will destroy it! I will also destroy the weapons they used to kill my parents with my own hands!"

"You want to destroy weapons?" Steve Rogers' voice couldn't help but get a little louder, "Tony! Don't forget what you do. You have washed your hands in a golden basin now and transformed into Iron Man, but before you become Iron Man,

How many weapons have you sold before Xia? If you insist on killing Bucky quickly, then can those who were killed by the weapons you sold also come to kill you?"

"Rogers, what we are talking about now is Bucky killing my parents, don't mix it up!" Tony Stark said.

"Confused?" Steve Rogers pointed to Pietro Maximov on the side, "What did you say when Pietro wanted to kill you in the hospital to avenge his parents? Now other weapons will kill you.

Your parents, have you changed from the theory of "innocence of weapons" to the theory of "guilt of weapons"?"

Tony Stark was silent for three seconds after being told by Steve Rogers. Then he walked up to Pietro Maximov, bent deeply and bowed to him: "Kid, I'm sorry.

, I'm very, very sorry. If you want to kill me to avenge your parents, just go ahead and do it, I won't blame you."

Pietro Maximov looked at Tony Stark who was bending down in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He never thought that the arrogant Tony Stark would bow to him one day.

"Stark, you're right, we can't do anything at all." Wanda Maximoff walked up to Pietro Maximoff and said, "You're right, we actually know deep down,

You are not the murderer, you are not the murderer of my parents."

"Thank you." Tony Stark looked at the two brothers and said, "I still say the same thing. Whenever you want to kill me, come to me at any time. If the distance is too far, I will reimburse you for your air tickets."

"Tony, I hope you can figure it out like the Maximov brothers and sisters did." Steve Rogers said, "I'm sorry about Howard, but the person you want to revenge against should not be Bucky."

"Rogers, do you know the difference?" Tony Stark turned to look at Steve Rogers, "The parents of those two children were killed by real weapons. But my parents were killed.

Death at the hands of others. No matter what you say, brainwashed, not voluntarily, but Bucky Barnes, he is a living person. He is the murderer of my parents! He must die!"

"Tony, then I have to apologize to you again." Steve Rogers said in a deep voice, "I will stop you and I will protect Bucky. He is my friend."

"I thought I was your friend too." Tony Stark said expressionlessly.

[2. Did Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers fight because of Bucky Barnes’ murder of Tony Stark’s parents? 】

【A has】

【BNo】

"Guys!" Natasha Romanoff saw that Tony Stark and Steve Rogers were arguing so fiercely that they didn't even notice the two questions came up, so she reminded her, "Do I think I should answer the question now?"

"I think you all have noticed that none of you can convince anyone else." Stephen Strange said, "If that's the case, why waste your time?"

"Tony, you need to calm down." Bruce Banner said.

"What's there to hesitate about this question?" Tony Stark glanced at the question and made his choice directly, "A!"

【correct answer!】

[If you answer two questions correctly in this question, you will be rewarded with Mark 42 manufacturing drawings.]

A thick stack of drawings appeared in the answering space. Tony Stark picked up the drawings and started flipping through them.

Tony Stark didn't speak, and Steve Rogers didn't speak either, just standing there.

Because it involves the death of Tony Stark's parents, it's hard for others to speak up.

Moreover, the matter of Bucky Barnes killing someone after being brainwashed is indeed a bit complicated, and cannot be judged by simple standards of who is right and who is wrong, or whether he should be killed or not.

So no one else in the answering space spoke.

There were so many people there, but everyone remained silent.

The atmosphere in the answering space was a little heavy for a while.

It was silent for an unknown amount of time before the light came on again in the space and a new video started.

At the beginning, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes were walking in the ice and snow. There was an iron door in the ice and snow, and the two stood in front of the iron door.

"He must have only been here a few hours," Steve Rogers said.

"That's enough to wake them up," said Bucky Barnes, holding a submachine gun.

Then the two of them walked into the iron gate and took the elevator to the underground. When the elevator landed with a "bang", they walked out and began to search carefully.

Boom!

After searching for a while, there was suddenly a loud noise behind them. Both of them turned around and looked at the closed elevator door warily.

But he saw the elevator door being opened by a pair of iron hands, and Tony Stark in armor walked in.
