"Damn it! Allen sent me back without even saying goodbye again."
Looking at the familiar room and furnishings around him, Tony Stark could not help complaining.
It felt as awful as being an unwelcome guest forcibly thrown out by the host.
Especially for someone like him—a billionaire, superhero, and genius scientist—who had once been warmly welcomed wherever he went, with countless reporters lining up to interview him.
Unfortunately, all those halos were not worth a sheet of toilet paper in front of Allen.
"All right, stop complaining. Compared to those Demon Gods from other dimensions who want to destroy Earth all day long, he is already quite friendly. At the very least, he is willing to speak with us on relatively equal terms," Doctor Banner said, taking the initiative to defend Allen.

You must know that when Europeans led the world in technology and military power during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they launched a frenzied wave of colonization, brutally slaughtering and genociding the indigenous peoples of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas.
By the same logic, when the Vikings of the frigid northern lands possessed the most advanced seafaring technology and military strength of their era, they too carried out a mad campaign of plunder across Europe, with some even successfully establishing colonial states of their own.
One only had to look at how many ancient European noble and royal families possessed Viking bloodlines to get a glimpse of it.
