It's important to understand that the Avengers originally only had Tony Stark and Steve Rogers fighting against so many Official Agencies, which was quite a challenge. Now, with the addition of Martian Manhunter lurking in the shadows, their pressure is significantly reduced.

At this point, Martian Manhunter did not reveal his identity within the military, but Tony Stark believed that this alien, who could hide in Human Society, must be extraordinary. Since he possessed Mind Stone powers, he must have access to some military information!

With the addition of Martian Manhunter as an inside man, coupled with Robet's previous intimidation of those Official Agencies, Tony Stark, like Steve, felt that now might be an opportunity to legitimize the Avengers, especially given the previous Official Agencies's intrusion into Jarvis —there was still much that could be done!

Robet didn't concern himself with Tony Stark and his group's discussions and calculations on this matter. After all, Robet and Clark had already prepared to expose their identities, and the fact that they had managed to conceal them until now was quite impressive. This proved that Robet's initial cooperation with Tony Stark and his team was indeed the right decision. Since Tony Stark and his group had done a good job before, it would be best to leave these matters to them in the future...

After a delicious meal, the Avengers went to rest. The series of battles had left them quite exhausted, and of course, this fight also made them realize their shortcomings.

Not only because the Avengers expended a great deal of time and energy in their battle with Zeldar, but more importantly, because they discovered that they didn't seem to have much of an advantage when encountering other superhumans...

When they first awakened their abilities, the Avengers all thought they were special. Even after meeting Robet and forming a small team with Robet to improve together, the Avengers still felt that they were among the strongest in the world.

Especially since the Avengers debuted, most of the extraordinary events they have experienced have come from Inter-dimensional Space, and the enemies they have faced have been various inhuman beings such as Demon.

Under these circumstances, the Avengers naturally felt that there were few superhumans on Earth who could rival them; in a sense, they could even be considered protagonists themselves, thus deserving the title of superheroes...

However, this time Avengers and superhumans from Official Agencies took action, which was one of the very few times the Avengers actually fought against superhuman powerhouses. The result of the battle was not satisfactory to the Avengers. Apart from Johnny Storm and a few others, the other Avengers were even at a disadvantage in the battle!

This undoubtedly means that the so-called Avengers are not actually that powerful among superhumans, especially Avengers don't even include strong individuals like Blue Marvel...

Even though Blue Marvel couldn't withstand more than a few moves from the Wrath Robet, and didn't even have the strength to resist, and might have died at Robet's hands if it weren't for Martian Manhunter's pleas, Blue Marvel's strength was even greater than that of Kara, the strongest among them!

Such strength is enough to crush them. And most importantly, the Avengers don't know how many people like Blue Marvel exist. Even setting aside extraordinary individuals like Blue Marvel, the Avengers are still no match for those hideous monsters!

This undoubtedly puts pressure on the Avengers. Their initial pride has gradually faded, and coupled with the fact that their power has already reached a bottleneck and the pressure from Official Agencies, the Avengers are not very enthusiastic now.

The Avengers wanted to find a way to improve their strength during their rest, but they were clueless, which made the atmosphere at the Avengers Base somewhat gloomy.

Faced with this situation, Robet was also helpless, because he was not omnipotent. Even though he possessed a relatively large number of abilities, he still could not help each Avengers find their path to advancement.

Moreover, Robet is not some talkative protagonist from a shonen manga, like Naruto Uzumaki, who possesses the ability to talk his way out of trouble. After a passionate speech, he can reignite the Avengers' fighting spirit and help them find their direction.

Therefore, these matters can only be resolved by the Avengers themselves. Of course, Robet wasn't completely indifferent; after all, Robet tricked Martian Manhunter into coming over, right? As a master of Mind Stone abilities, helping to alleviate psychological stress should be basic practice, shouldn't it?

Even though Robet didn't know about the existence of the bald man in a wheelchair, Robet felt that Martian Manhunter could help the Avengers in this regard, and all he needed to do was take Kara away for a walk to clear her head.

"I'll leave this to you. If you can, you can help guide the Avengers. Besides, with your amazing ability to hide your identity, you must have seen quite a few supernatural powers. Perhaps you can also give them some guidance..." Robet, who was left with only Kara by his side at the end of the meal, glanced at Martian Manhunter and the others who had already stopped eating, and said this. He then took Kara's hand and disappeared in a flash.

"Doesn't he ever get tired?" Tony Stark muttered to himself, watching the direction Robet disappeared in. "Considering the battles he's been through, he's been through far more intense than we have. And he's already recovered after just one meal?"

"People are completely different from each other... Speaking of which, the tasks I've been assigned since joining the Avengers seem a bit too many!" Martian Manhunter slowly shook his head and said with a touch of emotion.

"The capable should do more! Saiyan are good at fighting, so let them fight. I am good at inventing, so let me invent. As for someone as versatile as you, you should also demonstrate your value. Otherwise, the Saiyan wouldn't have chosen to bring you into the Avengers!" Tony Stark said with a smile to Martian Manhunter.

Actually, Tony Stark was a little curious. He always considered himself the smartest man in the world, but if Martian Manhunter possessed Mind Stone abilities, then his mind would theoretically be incredibly powerful. Could Martian Manhunter help him research something he still couldn't figure out?

For example, there was research on Venom that was underway but was forced to stop due to the fluctuations in the battle between Robet and Kael...

Tony Stark could also see that Venom could be a great help in battle if it could truly unleash its power. Even though Venom's strength might not be that great, Venom unique abilities made its control and restraint in battle quite obvious.

Therefore, if possible, Tony Stark genuinely wanted Martian Manhunter to help with his research on Venom. As for whether this would increase Martian Manhunter's workload, Tony Stark didn't really care...

After all, just as Tony Stark said, the capable should do more. Besides, as one of the biggest capitalists in America, how could Tony Stark feel that he was exploiting people too much? This is exactly what he does best!

Therefore, after only a fleeting thought in his mind, Tony Stark immediately began to speak to Martian Manhunter. Upon hearing Tony Stark's words, Martian Manhunter's lips twitched slightly; for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Martian Manhunter hadn't expected to be so valued so soon after joining the Avengers. The ostracism and distrust he had anticipated didn't materialize at all. The tasks he needed to accomplish were far more extensive than he had imagined.

But what could Martian Manhunter do? He had no choice but to reluctantly agree. He couldn't very well join the Avengers today, only to leave after just one meal, could he?

If that's really the case, then neither Robet nor Clark will let Martian Manhunter go. Even if Martian Manhunter Martian Manhunter has the means to conceal himself, he doesn't believe he can hide from everyone.

Especially given that Robet still has contact with Kamar-Taj, Robet might actually be able to find him...

After reluctantly agreeing to another job, Martian Manhunter began his research with Tony Stark. Perhaps the only good thing about Tony Stark was that he not only exploited others, but he also exploited himself. While Martian Manhunter was working, Tony Stark was never idle.

In Martian Manhunter's eyes, he was, after all, a Martian, whose physique was far superior to that of an ordinary Earthling like Tony Stark. Martian Manhunter could see very clearly that Tony Stark's physical abilities were only at the level of an average person, and might not even be comparable to those who had truly undergone extensive training. It was impossible for Tony Stark to outlast him.

However, it was clear that Martian Manhunter underestimated Tony Stark. Tony Stark's mental strength and stamina far exceeded his expectations. Even Venom was struggling to withstand the two's repeated experiments, yet Tony Stark still showed no sign of resting.

Martian Manhunter had to admit that Tony Stark's success wasn't solely due to his status; he had indeed underestimated Tony Stark before because of Tony Stark past as a playboy...

Meanwhile, Robet took Kara away from the Avengers Base. Instead of sending Kara back to school, he took Kara around to relax.

For Robet, one or two protracted battles were not enough to cause him too much mental fatigue, but it was different for Kara. Even though Kara had trained with Robet for a long time and was even able to spar with Robet, Kara had not truly transformed into a female warrior.

Furthermore, Kara suffered a setback in this battle, marking the first time Kara had been defeated by Earthling, especially when teaming up with a formidable opponent like Hellboy.

Of course, this is all predicated on the assumption that Blue Marvel is indeed Earthling. However, judging from Blue Marvel's appearance, Robet might not have as much human blood as Black Nick Fury, but he definitely has Earthling blood in him. Therefore, Lanqi should also be a Mutant, not an alien like Robert or Kara...

"Robet, am I a little too weak?" Kara, who was shopping, had been silent for a long time before suddenly looking at Robet and asking.

"How could that be? Your strength is already quite good. This time, it was because your opponent's ability was a bit peculiar, and you hadn't adapted to the power of gravity, otherwise you wouldn't have lost so easily..." If it were before, Robet would have definitely nodded and said that Kara's strength was weak and that she needed to train hard, but now their relationship was different, and Robet couldn't discourage Kara like that. Encouraging Kara to improve her strength was fine, but undermining Kara's confidence was not advisable.

In particular, Kara herself isn't very ambitious in terms of strength. If she really suffers a setback in this area, it's likely that Kara's strength will be difficult to improve in the future.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, Kara's slow progress is only relative to Robet and Clark. Compared to other Avengers, Kara's progress is not slow at all, and it is even faster than that of Pietro and Lorna, who have had extraordinary encounters.

As for why Kara and Clark, both Kryptonian, saw Clark's strength improve so quickly, that's simply due to their inherent abilities. Even within the same race, individual differences exist. Aren't Saiyan divided into various types of warriors? And isn't Goten Son's strength still difficult to match that of his brother and father?

Kara's loss to Blue Marvel this time wasn't because Kara didn't try hard enough. Even if Kara had tried, she might not have been able to adapt to Blue Marvel's control over gravity. Such sudden changes in state are indeed difficult for someone like Kara, who doesn't have much combat experience, to adjust to in time.

Robet was able to almost completely ignore Blue Marvel's gravity ability because, in the Dragon Ball World, Robet had used his special ability after making a wish with the Dragon Ball to train in Gravity Chamber for a long time, and he was already very familiar with various types of gravity.

"Am I spending too little time on cultivation?" Kara muttered to herself, pursing her lips.

"I've done the math. Actually, the speed at which you improve through cultivation is not as fast as the speed at which you improve by sunbathing for the same amount of time. Of course, if you just sunbathe, you'll improve your strength, but it's hard to improve your combat skills... Hmm?" Robet smiled and shook his head, looking at Kara as he spoke softly. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked towards the park lawn not far away.

In the park's lawn, a family of four was having a meal together. The middle-aged couple had both a son and a daughter, and they looked very happy and content.

However, behind this happiness and bliss, it seems there's an undercurrent brewing...
