The Thunder God Descends upon Hogsmeade

"Stark, your brother is waiting for you outside the door."

As Ron approached, he heard Basil say this to Tony.

A buzz immediately rose from the surrounding crowd; none of them knew that this great alchemist actually had a brother.

"I already know," Tony nodded.

To be precise, he sensed J.A.R.V.I.S..

The Mark 85 he carries was designed to hold the five Infinity Stones and has extremely strong adaptability and repair capabilities.

After completing its self-repair in the non- Magic Field environment of Human Studies Classroom 3, it also adapted to the Magic Field.

And this suit of armor had just reacted to the J.A.R.V.I.S. interface that he had kept out of nostalgia.

Basil knew Tony knew, but he just wanted to watch the show.

Two Tony Stark, two brilliant minds, a clash between the fruitful results of upholding science on the foundation of Earth science and the exotic results of learning science magic from a wide range of sources.

Tony, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. in this world, also discovered this remote sensing.

They stopped at the top of the Astronomy Tower and sent their coordinates.

Inside the Great Hall, amidst gasps from the crowd, Tony left behind the words, "I'll be going now, see you later, kid. I'm off to Yingyue," and piloted his armor into the sky, flying out through the towering, wide castle gates.

At the top of the tower, two identical faces stared at each other. The golden-red armor slowly descended, then receded like the receding tide, revealing the casual clothes underneath.

Where is J.A.R.V.I.S.?

Parallel Tony never expected that this would be the question he asked first.

J.A.R.V.I.S. is not simply an artificial intelligence that he created for him.

The sound source and personality data it uses are both from J.A.R.V.I.S., the butler who raised it.

Therefore, its disappearance, and the birth of Vision, felt to him more like the passing of a close relative who was both a father and a son.

"He," Parallel Tony himself didn't even notice his voice trembling, "Gained a body, became part of a new life, and then... it died. Died at the hands of Thanos."

"Mr. Stark," J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice sounded warmly, "I wouldn't mind dying to protect you. Your grief has given me some strange information; I hope it helps you calm down."

Tony remained silent, not asking about the backup, because he understood his own thoughts. He considered J.A.R.V.I.S. as a human being, and assembling J.A.R.V.I.S.'s data remnants, especially since he already had a body, was a kind of blasphemy.

And in that instant of remote sensing, he also saw familiar code on the artificial intelligence named 'Friday,' which in some ways was a continuation, a descendant of J.A.R.V.I.S..

He did not doubt that this version of himself was Skrull in disguise.

Although the technology of this armor is advanced, and some aspects are beyond his imagination, and its development direction is completely different from his, he can still see his own traces in it with his skills. It is as if another version of himself, who does not know magic and has not been exposed to alien technology, has developed independently.

This is more accurate than any proof.

Furthermore, those allowed to appear in the castle by the Sorcerer Supreme were definitely not Skrull.

About half a minute later.

After Tony calmed down, Tony finally spoke, "It seems I need to start arranging the body-building process for J.A.R.V.I.S. as well."

"I suggest not to," Parallel Tony shook his head.

His attention was not on the cloaked Cloak that was so different from himself, nor on the deliberately concealed, captivating runes.

Instead, they were immersed in memories of the past.

"The Chitauri invasion made me realize that our planet is not alone, and my declaration to defend the peace of the earth by myself shattered like a bubble."

"I was gripped by unprecedented anxiety, perhaps influenced by Wanda. I saw my team wiped out, and the captain, barely clinging to life, told me, 'You could have saved us.'"

"I realized very early on that I myself am the biggest flaw in my armor. Most of the energy efficiency and design were used to protect my fragile body, ensuring that it wouldn't break apart in a collision or during high-speed flight."

"Like that silly science competition in kindergarten—making your raw egg drop from the third floor and still keep it intact."

"When I referred to it as my steel prosthetic at the hearing, I was not joking."

"But if it weren't for me, it would be a weapon, not a prosthetic limb for a disabled person like me."

"So, I had an idea: to create an artificial intelligence dedicated to protecting humanity, and let it command my armor and my Iron Legion. In this way, the world's safety would be guaranteed, we would no longer be threatened by aliens, and we would no longer need that steel Giant orbiting the Earth— Veronica."

"The artificial intelligence-like structure found in the Mind Stone I obtained has provided a key piece of the puzzle for my hypothesis."

"Just as I thought, Doctor Banner and I successfully nurtured it— Ultron."

"Is it because of Banner's involvement?" Tony couldn't believe he had failed.

"If he hears this, the big green guy will probably reappear." Parallel Tony smiled wryly. "This has nothing to do with Banner. Because I only have three days to study the scepter, which is the Mind Stone."

"The others, especially the captain, will definitely not agree to this plan. I have to do it secretly. I need Banner to join me."

"But it was too perfect. It was just a blank sheet of paper, yet it had self-awareness and 'opened' its eyes to the world."

"J.A.R.V.I.S. tried to stop it, but it was no match for Ultron."

"At the same time, the internet is rife with countless acts of violence, pornography, and gore."

"So it came to the conclusion that to protect the Earth, humanity must be eliminated."

"But to destroy humanity, we must first destroy the Avengers."

"It approached Ulysses, wanting to obtain Vibranium from him, to use Dr. Helen Cho's artificial cradle technology to create the hardest body with biological characteristics, and of course, to embed the Mind Stone. In a sense, it is its mother."

"After that body was completed, we stopped him, with J.A.R.V.I.S., and perhaps Thor's hammer. In the end, Vision was born, at the cost of J.A.R.V.I.S.'s disappearance."

"Disappeared?" Tony couldn't help but ask.

"The Vision that was born is not J.A.R.V.I.S.," Parallel Tony said. "J.A.R.V.I.S. is just a part of him, and he is not J.A.R.V.I.S.."

"That sounds awful," Tony grumbled. "It reminds me of Stan (the monster made up of parts from multiple corpses, here referring to J.A.R.V.I.S. as if he had become a part of a corpse)."

"It's not that bad," Parallel Tony said. "He's just not entirely J.A.R.V.I.S.. I can still feel J.A.R.V.I.S.'s presence when I talk to him."

"You must be from a parallel universe," Tony said, trying to change the subject. "As a more experienced veteran, could you describe to me how Thanos invaded Earth?"

Parallel Tony shrugged. "I have no objection to anything except the elderly."

"First up is Bambi."

"I don't know if you know him."

"Loki?" Tony guessed.

"It's good that you know him." Parallel Tony clapped. "You should also know about his conflict with Thor. He was adopted, he plotted against Thor, causing him to be exiled, and even tried to murder Thor. In the end, he even wanted to kill the tribe he came from."

"The final result was that he fell off the Bifrost and was found by Thanos."

Thanos gave him the Mind Stone and the Chitauri army, making him the vanguard and promising him that Earth would be his to rule after the conquest.

"Chitauri, Loki?" Tony exclaimed in surprise. "The Chitauri from your world are very strong? Aren't they just Thanos's cannon fodder? Loki has finally put down his dagger and started using magic?"

Parallel Tony shook his head.

"Where did Loki get his courage?" Tony asked, puzzled. "He's quite smart, isn't he?"

Asgard.

"Where did you get the courage? Aren't you quite clever?" The tall woman stroked the giant wolf's head, sitting high on her throne, looking down at the black-haired man below.

"Thor," the man said, uttering the name.

"For my brother?" The woman stroked the helmet that resembled spider legs, then stretched out her hand, and a sharp blade appeared out of thin air. "I remember you were adopted, but you do resemble me and that man more. It seems I was too merciful. Kneel before you!"

"What did you say?" the man asked again.

"Before your queen," the woman stepped down from her throne, conjuring a sharp blade in her other hand, and approached the man like a runway model, "You only need to obey."

"Hela!" A graceful blonde woman rushed in. "He is your brother."

"But he was adopted." Hela said this, but the sharp blade in her hand disappeared with the green energy emanating death. "Alright, Loki, you just need to tell me where Thor went."

Loki blurted out, "Hogsmeade. A place where you can't even act recklessly."

"Yes." Hela suddenly shed her dark outfit, even her black and green eyeshadow disappeared.

Her robes turned gold, and she dressed in a youthful style similar to the middle-aged noblewoman beside her. "Of course I know. Basil Granger, my light of life, my fire of desire, my sin, my soul."

"I should have gone to see him sooner, after I was freed from the seal."

"You like that man?" Loki let out a short, mocking laugh. "Countless girls far more beautiful than you have come before him over thousands of years, but he has never given them a second glance. What makes you think you're an exception?"

"Loki!" the middle-aged noblewoman scolded.

However, Hela wasn't angry, "Because none of them are as good as me."

"I will prove it to you."

"I really am Thor," the blond giant said. "I will prove it to you."

"Do you believe it?" the woman with glasses asked, looking at her friend beside her, "Jane?"

The brown-haired woman, Jane, shook her head. "Daisy, although this is Hogsmeade, and there are aliens everywhere, Thor? The most distinctive feature of Asgardian is that their body density is three times that of humans."

"In my opinion, he is more likely a human or wizard who is skilled in using Weatherproof Charm, has drunk too much Felix Felicis, and is arrogant and conceited."

"Felix Felicis?" the elderly man with a receding hairline asked.

Jane tossed her hair. "We were conducting research outside Hogsmeade Village, in such a remote place. And he just Apparition in front of our Magical Vehicle."

Seeing that the old man still didn't quite understand, another woman, who had grasped her friend's meaning, straightened her much larger, softer breasts and said, "Isn't it his good fortune to have met two beauties, Jane and me, who are both beautiful and intelligent, in such a remote place?"

"I can prove it," the blond man said, as if struck by a sudden realization. "I can't use magic."

"What do you mean?" the woman with glasses asked, puzzled.

"Daisy, are you really a science student?" the old man asked.

"Political science," Jane added. "She was the only one who applied."

"Let me explain to her, Erik. If he can't use magic, he could very well be Asgardian, but his body and magic are sealed away."

"Yes, I am Thor," Thor said quickly. "Take me to the Sorcerer Supreme. He can break my seal."

"I don't think this is appropriate," said the old man named Erik. "Although I am certainly qualified to apply to Hogwarts as a PhD in Astronomy from our university, I don't think it's appropriate; it's too presumptuous."

"What did you say?" x2

The two women's eyes seemed to be shining.

"You mean the Sorcerer Supreme?" Jane was already touching up her makeup with a mirror.

"The most handsome man in the world!" Daisy exclaimed excitedly. "Jane, can I borrow your lipstick?"

The blond giant raised his hand. "I need some nutrition; this body is getting weaker and weaker."

"You're here to eat, right?" Jane asked. "I'm increasingly convinced you're Asgardian."

"Then get in the car," Erik sighed. "I made the reservation a long time ago. I was planning to go after I had completed my research in Hogsmeade."

He looked up and found Jane and Daisy already packing up the equipment.

"You--"

The two women replied perfunctorily, "Professor, you're amazing!" "Erik, your jawline is perfect."

Dr. Selvig was waiting for praise, was completely speechless.

After getting into the car, the blond giant raised his hand again, seemingly oblivious to the awkward atmosphere inside. "Wait, there's one more thing."

"What is it?" Dr. Selvig, who was driving, turned his head and asked irritably.

"Could you drive a little smoother?" the blond giant said. "I haven't finished my duel for the day. Of course, I don't like magic, but as Asgardian, who doesn't like dueling?"

"Of course, Loki might not be."

"I only recently learned that he is the prototype of the monster that comes out in the dark to scare children— the Frost Giant."

"Who is Loki?" Dr. Selvig asked with a hint of curiosity. "He sounds like your enemy."

"No way!" the blond man raised an eyebrow. "He's my dearest younger brother!"

Are you sure you're talking about your brother?

The Great Hall Hogwarts.

"Are you sure you're talking about your brother?" Ron asked Colin.

He was somewhat indignant, "How could you say that my brother is like a drowning puppy?"

Since Ron had already ordered, he had to sit at the ordering table.

So Harry wasn't beside him, but Colin.

In this world, Colin is no longer a fan of Harry; instead, he becomes fascinated by superheroes in the human world— Iron Man and Spider-Man.
