"Even though Thor is a god, I still think the answer is very likely me."
Under the watchful eyes of Black Widow and Nick Fury, Iron Man spoke eloquently, analyzing with reason and evidence.
"After all, even a god isn't omnipotent! 'Thor,' as the name suggests, is a god who can control lightning."
"But a nuclear bomb isn't something you can intercept just by controlling lightning. If things go wrong, Thor might even cause the nuclear bomb to detonate prematurely."
"Gods have their domain, and scientists have theirs. Clearly, intercepting a nuclear bomb doesn't fall within a god's domain, but a scientist's!"
"If I had to choose between me and Thor as the person most likely to intercept a nuclear bomb, then I choose me!"
After saying this, Iron Man didn't waste any more words. He turned directly to the glowing screen and gave his answer, "I choose B, Iron Man!"
Nick Fury and Black Widow both stared intently at Iron Man, wondering what would happen after he answered correctly.
Would the so-called random Mark armor blueprint truly appear?
[Congratulations to contestant Tony Stark for winning the reward: a set of random Mark armor blueprints.]
[Reward has been issued, please check!]
Immediately after, the system played this notification sound.
The moment the notification sounded, a hard drive suddenly appeared in Iron Man's hand.
Clearly, that hard drive contained the corresponding blueprints.
"I really want to see what kind of blueprints are inside," Iron Man said, looking at the hard drive in his hand, practically itching with anticipation. "And the naming convention is the same as my armor. Could it really be my conceptualized Mark series armor?"
Iron Man felt it was very possible.
Because after careful thought these past few days, Iron Man believed that the future predicted by this quiz system might not be the future of their timeline.
But rather, the future from another parallel world.
After all, the future of their timeline should have changed after the quiz system appeared.
Leaving aside everything else, Iron Man's death alone would not happen, because the quiz system had already rewarded Iron Man with a healing potion.
It could heal all injuries.
How could Iron Man die?
The most reasonable explanation was that it was the future of a parallel timeline.
Which meant that in another parallel timeline, there was also an Iron Man who also developed the Mark series armor.
And the reward in his hand should be the armor blueprints from that parallel timeline's Iron Man.
Of course, all of this was Iron Man's current speculation and remained to be verified.
"Sir, if I'm not mistaken, Tony Stark wasn't holding this hard drive originally, right?"
Black Widow's surprised and astonished voice rang out. She stared intently at the hard drive in Iron Man's hand, asking Nick Fury beside her.
"That's right, I also remember Stark was empty-handed the whole time," Nick Fury nodded with certainty.
Although they didn't see the hard drive appear out of thin air in Iron Man's hand, Iron Man was indeed not holding anything when he appeared.
After all, Iron Man was in the Arctic Ocean to search for and rescue Captain America. How could he inexplicably be holding a hard drive while doing something like that?
And Iron Man was currently wearing his Iron Man suit, so there was no possibility of him secretly pulling the hard drive out of his pocket when they weren't looking.
So, it seemed this hard drive must indeed be a reward from the system.
"Sir, although I'm still a bit unclear about the situation, it seems this quiz system is indeed not that simple."
Black Widow said in a deep voice to Nick Fury.
At this moment, she also began to take the quiz system seriously.
"I told you long ago to answer carefully," Nick Fury said to Black Widow, arms crossed, in a condescending tone.
Black Widow nodded, perking up a bit.
[Quiz completed. Now playing answer analysis.]
The system's notification sound rang out again. The text on the screen disappeared, and a corresponding video appeared before them.
"Commander Fury, the council has made its decision."
"I knew they would!"
As the voices of the man and woman began, Nick Fury's figure appeared on the screen.
Judging by the environment, it was clearly a tactical command center.
The male voice in the previous conversation was undoubtedly Nick Fury, while the other female voice came from a screen in front of Nick Fury within the command center.
That screen displayed several communication interfaces. Clearly, Nick Fury was conducting a remote meeting with the people in those communication interfaces.
Iron Man naturally didn't recognize the people in those communication interfaces, but Nick Fury and Black Widow recognized them at a glance.
Those figures were the bigwigs behind S.H.I.E.L.D.
The true masters who controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was merely an agent elected by those bigwigs.
Seeing this, Nick Fury and Black Widow, who were in front of the screen, couldn't help but look grim.
Nick Fury holding a direct meeting with these bigwigs indicated that the situation had become serious to a certain degree.
"And… I also know what kind of foolish decisions they'll make, so I intend to ignore those decisions!"
On the screen, Nick Fury continued to negotiate with these bigwigs.
"Commander, but your battleship is closest to the battlefield, please order immediately to…" But those bigwigs ignored Nick Fury's opinion and directly gave him orders.
"That's Manhattan Island, councilors! Unless my team cannot stop them, I will absolutely not order a nuclear attack on any civilians!" Nick Fury adamantly interrupted the bigwig.
"Nick Fury, so the nuclear bomb was launched by S.H.I.E.L.D.!" Iron Man couldn't help but turn and question Nick Fury.
"I would never give such an order! You saw it, it was those foolish councilors who gave the order!" Nick Fury said to Iron Man irritably.
"If we don't stop them, it's over!"
"If a nuclear bomb is really launched, then it's truly over!"
On the screen, Nick Fury, also very firm, directly closed the communication interface after confronting those bigwigs, unilaterally terminating the communication.
At this point, the scene changed, and the camera switched to a fighter jet pilot.
"Commander Nick Fury has been suspended, execute Order 7A11!"
At the same time, an order was transmitted.
"7A11 confirmed, we are ready for takeoff!"
After the fighter pilot confirmed the order, he immediately started the plane.
Undoubtedly, they were going to launch the nuclear bomb.
