Thankfully, Luke had a natural aversion to artificial intelligence and the like, and had never thought of roping in Illusion.
Besides, Illusion was at least half a Jarvis, and had the face of Howard Stark's butler, Jarvis.
Even Luke himself would feel awkward if he snatched this illusion from Tony.
Thus, the Avengers now had a reserve member and two "semi-members."
The three of them still had many problems that needed to be solved slowly, but they were all very strong.
No matter how elite Natasha and Hawkeye were, they couldn't compare to Green Fatty and Tony in a head-on battle, but these three could.
They were a combination of vibranium body, mind gem, and artificial intelligence. They could fly, fight, resist, and walk through walls.
Walter and Pietro were lacking when it came to comprehensiveness.
But the little witch's violent output and mental abilities were top-notch.
As long as Pietro used the right moves, his opponent wouldn't have a chance to fight back.
They truly stood at the peak of superpowers, and could decide victory or defeat at a critical moment.
With them, Tony's "fear of not being strong enough" for the Avengers was greatly reduced, and he could devote more energy to his beloved research career.
Rhode was in a similar situation, except that it was the American government who had pushed him in.
It was an awkward fact, but it was his relationship with Tony that had been tested for a long time.
Accustomed to Oreo's situation, he could still effectively reduce direct conflicts between the government and the Avengers.
In fact, after Killian borrowed the Iron Patriot armor to kidnap Ellis, Rhode's actual authority in the government had been halved.
This had nothing to do with whether he was loyal or not. It was purely because he was traumatized by the fact that he was almost turned into a teppanyaki by Killian. Seeing that damned Iron Patriot reminded him of how he was tied up and hung on a cross.
It was inevitable that Rhode would be marginalized by the government, and his focus was naturally on the Avengers.
That way, the Avengers wouldn't be much less useful than the Justice Alliance.
In the Righteous Alliance, Luke was playing the role of several people by himself.
After chatting for a while, Luke finally asked in passing, "Where's Steve?"
Rhode chuckled. "He found a good candidate, so he occasionally makes time to get in touch with him."
Looking at his face, Luke asked, "Why do I feel like you're very happy?"
Rhode shrugged. "That man retired from the Air Force Parachute Rescue Team. He's my colleague."
Luke then asked about the man's situation, and was rendered speechless.
The so-called good seedling was called Sam Wilson. Apart from being a soldier and flying in the sky, he was also unlucky.
The only difference between them was that Rhode was a high-ranking officer while Sam was a low-ranking officer.
No wonder Rhode was so happy. In the future, there would probably be more people who could slap each other's chests.
After talking for a while, everyone's topic returned to the second Monster War in Hawaii.
Luke wasn't in the mood to lie. He simply said that the bigshot had helped Godzilla kill Muto, who had just appeared, with a pet.
The others didn't react strongly, but Rode's face was full of horror.
He gulped nervously, "How small … is that person's pet?"
Luke decided to return the joke. "About 100,000 tons. It's indeed a little small."
Everyone: "…" That was a rather unique way of describing it.
The siblings were more interested in the pet's situation, but Rode was wondering what kind of person the bigshot belonged to in the future.
Although it was a pet, it wasn't an ordinary pet that could kill Muto!
No matter how obedient a superhero was, he wasn't a pet; he had his own personality and bottom line.
But as long as a pet was raised well, it would charge forward as soon as Luke said, "Go!"
For a moment, Rode's danger rating for the bigshot skyrocketed.
After chatting for a while, Luke got up and asked the siblings to talk about their thoughts on their studies.
Rode tactfully said that he was going back to change his clothes. Phantom silently stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the three of them walk out onto the lawn.
After hesitating for a long while, he didn't go to the side to listen in, even though it was just a thought on his part.
The look that the Big Dipper clone gave him before he left made him a little uneasy.
After they came out, Luke said a few words and tricked Pietro into going back to continue his training.
He and the little witch were the only ones left in the woods next to the lawn.
The stars twinkled in the clear night sky as they strolled through the woods in silence.
Finally, Luke said, "You're pretty close to Phantom?"
Walter was stumped for a moment. "It's alright."
Luke said, "You're not someone who likes to make contact with people."
Only then did Walter realize that his attitude toward Phantom was a little strange; he didn't seem to be wary of him.
Luke said, "Maybe it's because both your abilities come from the Mind Gem, and it's easy for you to feel close to him."
Walter wasn't sure. "Is that so?"
Actually, she felt that Phantom was a little … naive.
He was very clever, but he was not, like most people, interspersed with so many strong and bad hopes.
Luke stopped and looked up at the starry sky. After a long time, he said, "Fine, it's actually because of your ability."
Walter was confused. "What?"
Luke said, "In this world, you're not the only one who can sense other people's thoughts. Some people have this ability when they're kids, and that's why they get autism. You only got it when you were an adult, but you didn't want to interact with too many people. That's not good. "
Thinking for a moment, Walter nodded slowly. "What about you?"
Everybody on both sides knew that Big Dipper had a powerful mental ability.
Luke chuckled. "I've killed a lot of people. They've been murderers, human traffickers, drug dealers, hydras, terrorists. Every single one of them has a mind that's countless times more disgusting than an ordinary person's. But I'm still me. Do you know why? "
Walter's mouth opened, and she finally remembered the question.
Sometimes, the answer was right there. You just couldn't see it because you subconsciously didn't want to think about it.
Gazing at her, Luke raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, giving the little witch a mental resistance.
She instantly calmed down.
Luke said, "Because I'm me, and they're them."
Walter nodded, deep in thought.
Luke turned around and continued walking forward. "Humans are born to eat, drink, and poop. In order to live, in order to live a better life, they have to use all kinds of methods to fight for resources. We can hate those crimes, but we can't refuse to communicate with people because of that. "
Walter, who was following behind him, subconsciously nodded.
Luke suddenly changed the topic. "If a man walking across the street stares at your chest, would you feel disgusted?"
Stumped for a moment, Walter blushed. "Well … a little?"
Luke chuckled. "Then, would you be happy if they all turned into gentlemen who didn't look around and didn't have any thoughts about you?"
Unless they were all robots, how could that be possible? Muttering inwardly, Walter answered honestly, "I don't think so."
Luke asked, "What if someone you like doesn't even look at you?"
Walter: "…"
