As the altitude soared above ten thousand meters, the clouds below formed a thick carpet, and the Helicarrier was perpetually bathed in radiant sunlight.
Adjacent to the main cockpit hall was a fully equipped re
"That's… Impressive," Eddie remarked, his mouth agape. As a journalist, he was well aware of the reports from a few years ago, though he hadn't known about the terrifying secrets behind them.
Eddie suddenly shrugged and quipped, "Dr. Banner, our situations are quite similar. You have an angry beast inside you, and I have a demanding master beside me!"
Dr. Banner chuckled warmly, resembling an ordinary scientist. Despite this, even SHIELD agents and Avengers members like Steve and Natasha kept a safe distance, fearing they might inadvertently trigger the green beast within him.
At that moment, a figure suddenly climbed onto Dr. Banner's shoulder, wrapping its arms around his neck while Steve and the others were taken aback.
"Master, what are you doing?" Eddie exclaimed, jumping up and staring at Caesar, who was clinging to Dr. Banner.
"Caesar, get down!" Steve instinctively grabbed his shield, and Natasha reached for her pistol, their bodies tensing up in case Dr. Banner was provoked and transformed into the Hulk, potentially wreaking havoc on the Helicarrier.
Caesar ignored them, swinging back and forth on Dr. Banner like a pendulum.
"Everyone, calm down," Dr. Banner raised his hands to soothe the tense atmosphere. He glanced at Caesar hanging behind him and reassured, "Don't worry. As long as Caesar is here, the Hulk won't come out, no matter what happens."
"Why is that? Does the Hulk like kids or something?" Steve asked, lowering his shield with a puzzled expression.
Dr. Banner replied with a hint of confusion, "I'm not entirely sure. It's just a gut feeling. Maybe the Hulk recognizes something familiar in Caesar, a presence that makes him stay calm."
At the mention of that person, everyone in the room experienced a moment of clarity. Kyle, the Symbol of Peace, though not present on Earth, constantly influenced the world. The Hulk had once been thoroughly thrashed and roasted by Kyle, an experience he likely wouldn't forget for a lifetime.
Caesar chuckled and said in his childlike voice, "Dr. Banner, have you ever considered that the intense gamma radiation should have killed you in the lab, but you survived?"
Hearing this, Dr. Banner paused, reflecting on Caesar's words. "Caesar, are you suggesting that the Hulk saved my life?"
"Have you ever thought that the Hulk might not just be a side effect?" Caesar added, then leaped off Banner's shoulder and perched on the workbench, leaning against the glowing purple-blue crystal magic staff.
"Then what is the Hulk's purpose?" Dr. Banner muttered, shaking his head to clear his thoughts before returning to the task of locating the Tesseract.
"By the way, Thor, right?" Natasha turned to the silent, hammer-wielding figure in the room. "Loki is your brother. What do you think about his current actions?"
"I only know that he is consumed by hatred," Thor replied, tightening his grip on his hammer. "And now Loki has an alien army. If he wants to conquer Earth, he will undoubtedly seek their help."
Dr. Banner, upon hearing this, suddenly remembered something, his brow furrowing. "We seem to have overlooked an important clue. Director Fury mentioned that Agent Barton stole a rare metal called iridium. Does anyone here know its use?"
Iridium?
Steve, Natasha, Thor, and Eddie exchanged blank looks. With Iron Man Tony Stark off-world, the remaining group members felt out of their depth in the scientific arena.
"It's simple, really. Iridium is a meteorite-derived material that can produce anti-particles, acting as a space stabilizer. This means a new portal won't collapse easily; it can be more stable and expanded," A youthful voice broke the silence.
Everyone turned to the workbench, seeing Caesar standing with his arms crossed, explaining calmly, "With the Tesseract and iridium, you only need a high-density power source to create a large enough interstellar portal."
Fury's assistant, Hill, who had just entered the room, looked astonished as she heard Caesar's explanation. "When did you learn about thermonuclear astrophysics?"
Before Caesar could respond, Eddie shrugged and explained helplessly, "Master Caesar finished self-studying all postgraduate-level subjects on Earth a year ago. He also declined a series of lectures and seminars from Harvard, MIT, and other prestigious universities."
This, perhaps, is the embodiment of a perfect creation, seamlessly combining power and knowledge.
