"That 'doctor.'"
Thor spoke up at this point, having also noticed something. "We can confirm now that the 'doctor' mentioned in the Civil War footage is this Colonel Zemo."
"Obviously."
Black Widow added, "After Rogers and Bucky fell into the water, they evaded the Task Force's pursuit."
"Then, Rogers learned about the other five super soldiers from Bucky, so they planned to steal a plane at the airport to stop Zemo from using them."
"We all know what happened after that..."
"Stark and the others started the Civil War to stop Rogers and his team, but after a battle, Rogers and Bucky still reached that base," Thor continued, supplementing Black Widow's words.
"But the 'doctor' didn't revive the other five super soldiers, as everyone feared. Instead, the 'doctor' killed those five super soldiers."
"Waiting for everyone there was a deadly video."
Everything, from beginning to end, was now connected.
[Question: The superheroes fought Ultron on the highway to seize Vision's body. Who ultimately snatched Vision?]
[A, Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff]
[B, Captain America, Steve Rogers]
[C, Iron Man, Tony Stark]
[D, Hulk]
[Friendly Reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive a Body Attribute Enhancement Card; Those who answer incorrectly will have a random attribute deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, and possessions...]
At this moment, a new question appeared, capturing everyone's attention.
Previously, in the footage related to Vision's creation, it showed that Vision was the body Ultron built for himself, but it was later taken by the Avengers.
However, the exact process of how it was taken was unclear to everyone.
This question would reveal the relevant information.
"Who took Vision? Captain America should be ruled out, right?"
Thor glanced at the big screen and finally settled on option B, "He was stopping Stark from researching Vision at the time."
"So if Rogers took Vision, he probably wouldn't hand Vision over to Stark, right?"
Thor's assessment was the most intuitive and natural one, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Is it possible that Captain America didn't know Stark was going to research this so-called Vision?" Star-Lord, who had been listening for a while, joined in. "Did he find out later, and that's why he tried to stop it?"
After seeing Thor's Thor Clone, Strange's Seal of the Sling Ring, and Captain America's Moon Walk, Star-Lord finally changed his attitude towards the quiz system.
He decided to try to participate.
After all, as of now, the few people who had participated in the quiz hadn't encountered any problems, and on the contrary, had gained benefits.
Although Star-Lord couldn't be one hundred percent certain that those benefits really came from the system's rewards or if everyone was pretending, but at the very least...
There was no harm, right? If it was real, wouldn't he regret missing out? "Mr. Star-Lord makes a good point."
Black Widow immediately nodded. "We've all seen the footage. Stark only discussed it privately with Dr. Banner. After persuading Dr. Banner, he began the experiment, just like when he created Ultron."
"Even so, I don't think it would be me." After some thought, Captain Rogers still held to that opinion.
"Maybe I'm old-fashioned and stubborn. I've always opposed researching powers beyond our control."
"And before that, Stark created Ultron, which caused everyone a lot of trouble."
"Even if Stark had declared he wouldn't study Vision, I still wouldn't have handed Vision over to him."
With the painful lesson of Ultron, it made perfect sense that Captain Rogers wouldn't give Vision to Stark.
It made logical sense.
No one raised any objections, so option B was eliminated without any debate.
"Great!"
Star-Lord was in a good mood, having successfully contributed on his first try.
He glanced at the other options and continued, "What about the other choices?"
"We all know what Ultron is capable of. He's not just one person, he has an Iron Legion."
Captain America spoke in a low voice to everyone, "So the battle described in the question could be a war between the Avengers and an Iron Legion."
This kind of war could have a myriad of possibilities; anything could happen.
Without knowing any details about the war, it was impossible to make any effective judgment.
"Iron Legion?"
Strange couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Was this guy named Ultron another tech mogul?
"As powerful as Tony Stark?"
"That's right, the Iron Legion." Natasha briefly explained Ultron to Strange.
But she only gave a brief explanation, not going into too much detail.
"An intelligent robot that wants to destroy humanity?"
Strange was stunned, his brain not quite able to process it all.
Half an hour ago, he was a highly educated, brilliant doctor, but in the last thirty minutes, he'd been hit with so much information that shattered his worldview.
He couldn't digest it all so quickly.
"What about Hulk?"
Thor pointed at option D. "If Hulk is the 'Angry Hulk' version, then he can't be the answer. Is there a way for us to tell?"
Thor's words made a lot of sense, and since he brought it up, everyone at the scene began to ponder.
"I think we can rule out Hulk," Tony Stark said first, addressing everyone.
His tone was quite certain, indicating he'd connected some concrete clues.
"Right, Hulk should still be the angry version of himself."
Black Widow also nodded, having thought of something, "We all know how Ultron was born. Thinking back to when the Avengers attacked that Hydra base to seize the scepter, Thor, what do you think?"
Even if Thor's mind was slow, being reminded to this extent by Black Widow, he immediately reacted, "That's right, we can rule out Hulk!"
"Although the footage didn't show the outcome, it did show Stark had already entered the Strucker base. Captain also went into the base to look for the scepter, so the scepter must have fallen into the hands of the Avengers."
"Then, Stark used the scepter to create Ultron. That's definitely how things went!"
There was indeed no doubt about it, as Stark and Dr. Banner were discussing topics like "why Strucker is so creative" while studying the scepter.
And also mentioned seeing some very advanced robots inside the Strucker base.
Stark and the others immediately began studying Ultron after seizing the scepter from the Strucker base; there was no doubt about it.
"And when we attacked the Strucker base, Hulk still couldn't control his anger; we even needed to sing him lullabies!"
"Even when Natasha went to sing him a lullaby, Hulk was still smashing a tank!"
Hulk's state was thus confirmed.
He was indeed the angry version of the Hulk back then.
In that state, Hulk wouldn't understand anything about seizing things; he'd only smash them.
Of course, the time of the Hydra base's capture and the time Ultron created Vision's body were not exactly the same.
The time between these two events was very short, not long at all.
Especially considering Ultron's creation. Stark and the others returned to New York from Sokovia in a Quinjet, and then created Ultron within three days.
Next, Ultron defected, went to Klaw and stole Vibranium, then printed Vision's body.
During this time, Hulk became able to completely control his anger. While it wasn't entirely impossible, the likelihood was ultimately not very high.
So, overall, Hulk could indeed be ruled out.
Everyone at the scene couldn't help but feel a little excited. Having eliminated two options in a row meant they'd conquered a large part of the problem.
As long as they could filter out one more option, the answer would be revealed.
Even if they couldn't filter out another option, they'd still have a 50% chance of guessing correctly.
"Natasha? Stark?"
Rogers glanced at the two options and made a comparison. Then, he made his decision. "If I have to choose between the two, I'd choose Natasha."
"Natasha?"
Strange was a little surprised. He thought Captain America would choose Stark. "Mr. Steve, between the two of them, Iron Man is obviously stronger, right?"
"If they were tasked with stealing something from Vision, wouldn't Iron Man be the more likely candidate?"
"Doctor, you're right. Iron Man is indeed stronger." Captain America agreed, but then his tone changed. "But because of this, I'll choose Natasha for this question."
"So, you mean the answer to this question is to choose the weaker one?" Star-Lord was also a little confused by Captain America's words.
"Yes, for this question, you do have to choose the weaker one." Captain America nodded in agreement.
After that.
Without waiting for them to ask further, Captain America offered an explanation.
"Ultron is a powerful robot, and he's not alone. He has the Iron Legion at his command, everyone..."
"If you were to take Vision from a force like that, how would you assign the tasks?"
With that, Strange and Star-Lord began to understand.
Iron Man, with his superior strength, would naturally be best suited to fight the Ultron army head-on, to hold back the main force of the Iron Legion.
Someone like Black Widow, an ordinary human agent, couldn't fly, wasn't bulletproof, and couldn't even take a punch from an Iron Soldier. The Avengers had no reason to send her into direct combat.
It made no sense.
So what Black Widow was doing must have been to seize Vision while the Iron Legion was being held back!
"Captain's right," Rogers agreed.
Black Widow nodded as well, "Let those monsters deal with the monsters. Ordinary people like Barton and me can only perform this kind of 'sneaky' mission."
"It's not just that," Captain America added, "There's one thing we can't ignore: Ultron can fly, and the Iron Legion under Ultron can also fly! That means..."
"That means even if we snatch Vision, they'll fly over and chase us!"
Thor, very rarely, managed to interject, "So for Stark, his mission not only includes frontline combat but should also include covering the retreat!"
After all, besides Thor and Iron Man, no one else among the Avengers at this time could fly.
In this situation, what if the Ultron Legion pursued them?
It could only be left to Tony Stark or Thor.
Or even just Tony Stark.
After all, although Thor could fly, he couldn't truly fly in the same way as Tony Stark, who could pull off all sorts of acrobatic moves in the air.
When it came to flying, Thor's maneuverability was far inferior to Iron Man's.
Facing the pursuing Ultron army, they really had to rely on Iron Man.
"That's right, if I were the commander of this operation, I would definitely assign the tasks in this way."
Captain Rogers nodded in agreement with Thor, "Even if the commander at that time wasn't me, but Nick Fury, or anyone else, I believe the operation plan would definitely be like this."
Captain Rogers spoke very confidently, because this was a logical operation plan, and anyone with combat experience would do the same.
"I see!"
Strange nodded heavily, suddenly enlightened.
After Captain America and the others explained everything, he finally understood completely.
Star-Lord on the side was the same, no longer having any doubts.
Not only them, but no one else raised any objections either. Having analyzed the question this far, everyone had reached a consensus:
The answer was A, Black Widow.
Next, they began to discuss who should answer the question.
After a brief discussion, the slot fell to Black Widow.
The body attribute enhancement card, as a reward, had already been distributed. Everyone knew what this reward was, and therefore understood that it would be more effective if given to Black Widow.
Many of Black Widow's skills couldn't reach their full potential due to the limitations of her physical body.
Giving this body attribute enhancement card to Black Widow was definitely putting it to good use.
