Chapter 517: Schiller Is Probably Crazy (Part 1)
From Stark's perspective, linking the clues they have obtained along the way, first of all, the fact that Schiller was not controlled by the moon god Kongsu was not beyond Stark's expectations.
He actually didn't think that a person who had such a high tower in the world of thought would be easily controlled by a god. He guessed that this was a trap set by Schiller, but then, after entering Schiller's world of consciousness, Schiller's past experience was beyond his expectations.
A child who was about to get rid of autism, just when he had just recovered his language ability, witnessed the tragedy of his parents being killed, and thus lost the ability to speak again. This kind of thing can be called a human tragedy no matter where it happened.
And then, they witnessed in the insane asylum on the second floor how the teenager Schiller split into a murderous personality because of childhood trauma.
What made Steve and Stark even more sad was that the doctor Schiller they knew before behaved very normally. Not only did he have no problem with his language ability, but he was even much better than ordinary people. In particular, he also used the intelligence brought by his savant autism to make suggestions for human civilization, and now he has achieved quite good results.
It can be said that even if Schiller was not their friend, they would feel inspired when they heard such a story. This is human nature. They are moved by all those who are self-reliant and self-reliant, and who play a bad hand well, and get the motivation to drive themselves forward from their stories.
But later, they heard from Kong Su that Schiller was exploring the secret of resurrecting believers in the Egyptian pantheon, which made them have bad associations, especially Stark, whose parents died in an accident.
Just like he persuaded Schiller before, when he learned of his parents' death, he also couldn't sleep at night, thinking over and over again about how to save it all. It can be said that if he knew that the Egyptian gods could resurrect believers at that time, he would definitely resurrect his parents regardless of the cost.
Because Stark had this experience, he understood how dangerous this mentality was. In the pursuit of resurrection, you may come into contact with countless taboo knowledge, and the more you devote yourself, the more obsessed you will be. In the end, you will develop into a lonely ghost who lives for only one obsession, regardless of other people's lives, at all costs.
When Stark learned that Schiller wanted to explore the secret of resurrection, he felt very anxious. There were psychological traumas that could be treated, and there were shadows in childhood that could be healed, but if Schiller really took such an extreme path, even if Stark knew that he could be promoted to the only one, he was not sure that he could stop the paranoid Schiller.
So he knew that he had to pull Schiller back before he fell into this quagmire, and he must not let things develop to the point where they were irreversible.
From what he saw and heard, his speculation was reasonable. To be honest, it is difficult for anyone in this world to resist the temptation of resurrecting their relatives. No matter how firm and wise this person has been, no one can guarantee that there is no selfishness in the face of this problem.
Humans are creatures living in the river of time. Everything can only be washed downstream with the water, so there are always regrets that cannot be made up.
But humans always fantasize that they can go upstream against the long river of time and return to the upstream to make up for their past regrets.
Everyone has their own story and regrets, so there are always people who put this unrealistic fantasy into action.
Stark is not a person who is good at speaking his mind. His personality is very awkward, even weird. He always avoids certain emotions and rarely makes responsible guarantees to others. People who have been disappointed by family affection and love always lack this ability.
But this time, he even put aside that awkward emotion, persuaded Schiller with a very sincere attitude, and even made an emotional guarantee for the first time in a long time, hoping that Schiller would not fall into this quagmire, and even not take the first step.
However, after listening to this, Schiller felt very puzzled. He really didn't know what happened.
It was completely beyond his expectation that Stark and Steve would directly follow the path marked by the Glorious Alliance base to enter his mind palace.
Because, although from the perspective of Stark and Steve, their journey was quite smooth and they entered Schiller's mind palace without any obstacles, but in fact, Schiller himself knew that the tower had very complete defense facilities, and not everyone could enter.
Moreover, he did not take away all the personalities at once, and there were still many left in the tower to work. How did Stark and Steve go in directly? And it seemed that they had misunderstood something?
Schiller felt confused because he did not really want to revive anyone when he went to death. He actually wanted to negotiate a business with death.
In fact, Schiller knew about Valhalla in Asgard a long time ago.
Because he had read the comics, he knew that everything in the universe would eventually return to the death of abstract entities, and Asgard actually used some special methods to save people from death.
But at that time, Schiller did not have such an idea, because he knew that Asgard in its heyday and Odin in its peak period were ridiculously strong, and it was not surprising that they could sit at the same table to negotiate with death. Therefore, it was natural for Odin to own Valhalla, which was the cosmic status that Asgard should obtain.
As for Schiller, he first weighed the weight of human civilization, and then looked at his own large number of plans and schedules. He felt that there was no need to contact the five great gods of creation so early.
But recently, he changed his mind for two main reasons.
One is that the funds required are too much, the Avengers are too strong, and Hydra is not enough in terms of quantity or quality, especially quantity.
The previous wave of eating one fish three times was cool, but Hydra was not really a leek after all, and it did not grow that fast. After being sold to hell, the number left in the world was not enough. The Avengers also wanted it, and SHIELD also wanted it. Where did they get so many Hydras to share with them?
It is not possible not to give it to the Avengers. Stark and Captain America fight every day. Killing Hydra is a very civilized way to compete with each other. You can't let them fight a civil war, right?
But SHIELD really needs Hydra. Only with Hydra, SHIELD has weight and status. Nick and Schiller are planning to steal the sky and change the day. With this calculation, the budget is not enough.
However, if there is a Valhalla similar to Asgard, the situation will be different.
Schiller can completely revive the Hydra killed by the Avengers and send it to SHIELD to work, and then kill the Hydra sent to SHIELD to work to improve performance, and revive them and send them to the Avengers.
In this way, the Hydra industry chain forms a perfect closed loop.
Schiller once seriously considered how to develop the Hydra industry chain sustainably.
After all, Hydra members are people, not materials. People cannot be resurrected after death. If he wants to reproduce, he can't just catch children and brainwash them, right? Let's not talk about the moral issues. The time cost of training a Hydra villain is too high.
But if they can be resurrected, it will be different. The Hydras living in the world now, especially the middle and senior personnel, cannot be said to be unforgivable. It can also be said that they deserve to be cut into pieces. If these people are repeatedly cut, there will be no moral dilemma.
You have done so many bad things, what's wrong with dying a few more times? There is a phrase in this world called "a thousand deaths are not a pity", which is very suitable for this group of Hydras.
If the resurrection function is a little more powerful, the previous group of NAZIs can be pulled up and used again. What about the SS and the Wehrmacht? After pulling them up, they will all be incorporated into Hydra, half of them will be pulled to work for SHIELD, and half will be pulled to shoot for the Avengers. What a perfect ecological cycle, it can be called sustainable exhaustion!
And the other thing that made Schiller think of death was actually the Egyptian pantheon.
Asgard and Odin are ridiculously strong and can make deals with death. Schiller has nothing to say. They speak with strength. Odin has ruled the nine kingdoms for so many years. In a sense, he is also the protector of human civilization. He has a Hall of Valor to stand in front, so human civilization is safer.
But what is your Egyptian pantheon based on? Is your leader as strong as Odin? Is your overall strength stronger than Asgard? Is your civilization as developed as Asgard? Is your contribution to mankind as great as Asgard?
Since you don’t have any, what is your basis for making deals with death? Is it because you fight and fight civil war every day?
Simply put, Schiller is jealous.
If you say that human civilization is not as developed as Asgard, then Schiller will admit it. They have a high starting point and are born with half a bottle of water. In addition, Odin has descended from the sky to the Purple Star and has withstood countless waves of cosmic disasters. It is reasonable for them to have some privileges.
But look at this lame Egyptian pantheon, so many demons are crowded in one dimension, and because there is not enough room to live, they fought a civil war and drove out a group of people. They just squat in the temple every day and control human believers to make trouble on the earth. Isn't this the cancer of the earth?
If you say that they are not civilized and cannot be compared with Asgard, you can also compare them with demons, such as Mephisto. Mephisto's hell is similar to Asgard's Valhalla, and it can also intercept the souls going to the kingdom of death, which shows that Mephisto and death also have a deal.
But these demons in the Egyptian pantheon, let alone one, may not be able to beat Mephisto together.
So why do they have such privileges?
With this mentality, Schiller would of course think, they can do it, why can't I?
To be honest, I have done a lot of performance for you in death, right? How many cosmic demons died in the first Bonnar serving incident? The death of cosmic demons is also death, and they will eventually be under the control of the kingdom of death.
Not to mention the glorious incident, apart from several consecutive membership gifts, first blowing up a star and then blowing up a black hole, in just that one month, if Schiller had not been rated as a model performer in the Kingdom of Death, the whole universe would have been like snowing in June, crying out for his injustice.
In this case, if the Egyptian pantheon has it, I also want it. With this in mind, Schiller naturally made a plan to find Death and talk to her to see if he could get a Hall of Valor. This is actually his ultimate goal.
Of course, just like Schiller's usual style, he will insert countless incidental goals into this ultimate goal.
For example, explore Mark's mental state along the way, prepare for his thesis, take advantage of Khonsu's moonlight power, and let a personality that has been locked up in the asylum out for some fresh air.
Faking death, let the Avengers and the Supreme Sorcerer realize the nature of these gods, stimulate them to explode to clear the demons on the earth, and solve the internal troubles before humans officially enter the universe.
Get a means of transportation that can be used in the dream world to help Xavier's School for Gifted Youth solve the school bus problem.
Do a favor to animal gods such as Khonsu, the moon god, Bast, the leopard god, and the hippopotamus goddess, and help them avenge the natural gods who expelled them.
Find a suitable reason to make the God of Nature the next wave of membership gifts, and get Osiris to tell him how to trade with death.
Finally, use this method to achieve his ultimate goal, which is to meet death and negotiate a deal with her.
