I, the Bully Spider-Man, will destroy Marvel!

Chapter 160 Doctor Strange's Request, Wanda's Disappointment

But whether Tony accepts it or not, the fact is that he, the "Marvel savior" in both senses, did indeed play a completely supporting role this time under Tobey Maguire's protagonist halo.

He was just a minor character who didn't even get any screen time during the final battle...

Captain America even got to show off with Thor's hammer.

But for Tony, isn't this also a kind of luck?

At least this time he won't have to snap his fingers to save the universe and die, Pepper Potts won't lose her husband, Morgan won't lose her father, and with Tony around, Stark Industries won't have most of its resources taken away by the government.

This time, with Toby's intervention, the surviving Tony is truly able to protect everything he owns.

Instead of the pointless assurances Captain America gave Tony before the time travel, as in the Sacred Timeline.

After all, as the Ancient One said, the Avengers simply don't have the ability to guarantee any of the "guarantees" they make.

Whether it's protecting the Infinity Stones, or protecting everything Tony owns...

Toby wasn't particularly interested in befriending the resurrected Avengers.

Tobey has already won over the three core Avengers of this universe—Tony, Captain America, and Thor—and the only others he can get a second glance from are Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch.

But I only glanced at it twice and didn't have any intention of going up to talk to it.

After all, Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch in this universe are already quite mature and not easily controlled by him.

Instead of wasting his time on them, Toby should think about how to recruit the predecessors of Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch from his own universe, Strange and Wanda, into his Spider-Man family.

However, since he didn't take the initiative to talk to the two, Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch took the initiative to approach Toby.

Doctor Strange wanted to understand what Captain America meant when he explained to them—that Toby said the rules of time were different now, which was why the future he observed with the Time Stone was inaccurate—something that left him completely baffled.

Doctor Strange noticed that Captain America seemed to only half understand the explanation, so he simply asked Toby, who was standing nearby.

To this, Toby simply replied that it was the Ancient One from his universe who said it, and that one of the reasons he came here was because the Ancient One asked him to come.

With just two sentences, Doctor Strange shut his mouth with a complicated expression.

"You always say I'm the best among you, but in the end, you still beat me..."

Finally, Doctor Strange made a request that surprised Toby.

He asked Toby to help his counterpart in another universe embark on the path of a sorcerer ahead of time, until that counterpart in another universe takes over the Ancient One's responsibilities.

Toby was naturally puzzled by this request.

To become a mage, one must first abandon one's former materialistic beliefs, which is undoubtedly painful.

Doctor Strange smiled faintly and said simply, "I just wanted her to see the beauty of this world for a few more years, as a free person, not a caged bird..."

You have silently protected Earth for thousands of years, even resorting to the dark forces you despise, yet you have never had a life of your own...

What you couldn't have in my universe, you deserve in another...

"When it comes to sabotaging themselves, you mages are truly ruthless..."

Toby gave Doctor Strange a thumbs up and agreed to his request.

See? They agreed to it themselves, it's not like I wanted to do anything underhanded.

When he gets back, he'll have Kingpin arrange for someone to cripple his Strange universe and then send him to Kamar-Taj for further training.

After completing his studies, he'll be recruited into the Spider Family and become a unique Spider-Man.

Hehe, the plan is perfect!

After all, while Doctor Strange may be unreliable at times, his strength is undeniable, at least ranking him among the top three in the Avengers.

By taking him in as one of our own, we can feel much more at ease when we leave Earth.

Um, I guess so...

After Doctor Strange, the second person to approach him was Scarlet Witch Wanda.

This newly resurrected Wanda is still stuck in the time when Vision died after Thanos blew the "pimple" off his head, so the sadness in her eyes and body has not yet subsided.

Furthermore, Toby's spider-sense sensed a hidden threat from Wanda. It wasn't the kind of threat Thanos had, which was present but not overwhelming. Instead, it was a life-or-death danger that, if fully unleashed, could truly threaten his life.

This made Toby instantly take Wanda seriously, and he secretly started to make plans in his mind.

But it's not about plotting against this Cosmic Wanda; it's about plotting against his own Cosmic Wanda.

How about... trying a simulation game?

Raise a second female member of a spider family?

Chaos Spider?

Wanda from this universe approached Toby, naturally to ask if Toby, who possessed the six Infinity Stones, could resurrect the deceased Vision.

Toby shook his head in regret.

Since Vision, as a creation of Tony, Dr. Banner, Jarvis, and the Mind Stone, has no soul and is a completely new existence, how can he be resurrected?

Although Wanda had expected this, her eyes still dimmed. After thanking Toby, she turned and left alone, looking dejected.

Everyone has come back, except for my lover...

As Toby watched Wanda's lonely figure, he suddenly remembered that later on, Wanda would be driven to complete darkness by the idiots at S.W.O.R.D. created by Nick Fury, thus becoming an even more terrifying version of Scarlet Witch who travels through the multiverse in a "family search".

Toby finally understood that a large part of the crises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe were related to that idiot Nick Fury.

In Avengers, Nick Fury's insistence on studying the Tesseract led Loki to descend through it, bypassing Earth's Sanctuary defenses and initiating the Battle of New York.

In Captain America: The Second, Nick Fury's incompetence led to Hydra infiltrating the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., turning it into a sieve. Hydra, lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D., launched Operation Insight, nearly eliminating all targets worldwide that posed a threat to Hydra.

In the secret invasion, Nick Fury's leniency towards the Skrulls led to a million Skrull refugees hiding on Earth, almost causing the planet to fall into human hands.

In WandaVision, it was also because of S.W.R., founded by Nick Fury, that Vision's body was dismembered for research. The stupid white-skinned director he appointed deliberately provoked Wanda, who only wanted to bury Vision's body, which led to the Westview incident and the subsequent multiverse search for their relatives.

Especially the fully corrupted Wanda at the end; if she hadn't been awakened to her conscience and chosen to bury herself, Toby really doesn't know who could have stopped her at that point.

Toby has already decided to cultivate a deeper relationship with this universe, so even if he wants to prevent Wanda from turning evil and attacking his universe, he cannot allow Wanda to head down the path of self-destruction.

Before Wanda had completely disappeared from sight, Toby suddenly called out to her retreating figure, "Hey, Ms. Maximoff, want to go to another universe to see your brother?"

Wanda paused, slowly turning back to Toby, a glimmer of light returning to her eyes: "My...brother?"
