Doctor Strange: Who Changed the Script?

The Hulk's physique is impressive enough!

And then what happened?

His right hand has atrophied, and he'll never be able to hold a mouse again. Considering he's single, this is a devastating blow.

The Snap with Six Infinity Stones would cause permanent damage to the body, potentially leading to death. Russell wasn't sure if his Hui Tailang Tattoo and restorative items could heal it, so he decided to avoid trouble and repeatedly stated that he wouldn't the Snap.

I've practiced, but I haven't learned it!

The Avengers were speechless upon hearing this, but no one said anything more. It was understandable that Russell, who came from another universe, was unwilling to help.

"Let me do it!" At this critical moment, Dr. Banner did not hesitate and felt that he had to do something.

Having seen Thanos's crippled arm, he knew his fate Thanos. But then again, it was just an arm. Maybe Natasha would take pity on him, her compassion overflowing, and then he could...

"Bruce, let me do it! I am Thor, the strongest Avengers. I can use lightning to counter the energy contained in the gauntlet." Thor patted his chest. Resurrecting Loki with his own hands was of great significance, and even if it cost him his life, he would never regret it.

"No, lightning can't counter the Infinity Gauntlet. Its main radiation is gamma rays, and I am a product of gamma rays." Dr. Banner chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Guys, it's all destiny. I was born for this."

Despite their wavering, the Avengers knew that Dr. Banner was the most suitable candidate, despite his insistence.

Finally, Banner donned the mechanical Infinity Gauntlet, and amidst agonizing screams, the nerves in his arm died, corroding him into a withered tree. With unwavering willpower, he used his nearly crippled right hand to snap his the Snap for redemption.

With a sharp crack, Banner collapsed to the ground, disoriented, and the Avengers began to administer first aid.

The world seemed unchanged, but Russell sensed something amiss. An invisible force emanated from the gem, quickly exceeding the range of his Magic Power perception, affecting the entire universe and subtly altering everything.

While the Infinity Stones are generally not very powerful in actual combat— Thor, who collected all six, still lost to Thor in a Thanos and was nearly killed by an axe—they can determine the fate of half of all life in the universe.

That makes absolutely no sense!

"Move aside, you're standing too close together. Spread out so the patient can breathe some fresh air." Russell pushed aside Natasha, who was blocking his way, squatted down next to Dr. Banner, and raised his hand to release holy light to heal him.

The effect was immediate; Banner felt a cool sensation on his arm, which had felt like it had been scorched by fire, and his contorted expression gradually relaxed.

Russell frowned slightly. The damage caused by the gem seemed irreversible. The Holy Light could heal the symptoms, making Banner's arm look exactly the same as before. But it couldn't cure the root cause. His arm was now crippled, making it difficult to clench his fist and exert force, and it might even ache on cloudy or rainy days.

"How is it? Is healed?" The Avengers hurriedly asked when they saw Russell stand up with a frown.

"The situation is very serious, and there's nothing I can do but help alleviate his pain," Russell said truthfully without hiding anything.

"Is there really no way?" Steve couldn't help but ask. The other Avengers all looked on with anticipation, not wanting Banner to be seriously injured and crippled.

"Drink more hot water, it might help."

Yes, drinking more hot water is never a bad thing!

Ring ring ring~~~ Ring ring ring~~~~

The phone on the table rang, and Jarvis notified Stark that it was his wife Pepper Potts, calling.

A private phone call certainly can't be made in public, so Stark obediently picked up the phone and started showering everyone with affection, but his expression quickly froze, then turned into ecstasy, and he threw the phone away like a madman.

"It's a success; the dead have all been brought back to life."

Stark grabbed Steve's shoulders, his face flushed with excitement. Perhaps he was too excited to express himself, so he gave Steve a big kiss on the cheek.

kiss

The sound was crisp and clear, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

The hall was silent for three seconds. In the past, the Avengers would have joked around, but now they were desperately searching for communication tools to contact the relatives and friends they had lost five years ago.

Seeing that the group almost came to blows over a cell phone, Stark quickly told Jarvis to turn on the communication so that everyone could contact the outside world.

In an instant, the gloom dissipated, and laughter mingled with tears in the hall.

Hawkeye called his wife, sobbing uncontrollably. The conversation quickly turned awkward as he whispered a vow to her that he hadn't seen Natasha in the past five years.

Not even once!

Russell frowned as he watched all this. He had long wondered how someone who had died five years ago could be resurrected.

For example, is the resurrection location concentrated in a certain area, or at each individual's death location?

If they were to be resurrected on the spot, wouldn't those who went out to sea or traveled by plane five years ago be in a terrible situation?

Even worse, many people died on a vacant lot back then, and five years later a skyscraper was built on it. Will they be resurrected in the concrete?

I died without knowing anything, then came back to life without knowing anything, and then... died again!

Furthermore, how will this suddenly resurrected half of the population cope with the new world?

It's like the older brother died, and the younger brother and sister-in-law depended on each other for survival, supported each other, developed feelings for each other over time, registered their marriage, and had a child. Then the older brother came back.

How can I explain this so that we don't start a fight, and how will we live our lives afterward?

For example, a wife, grieving the loss of her husband and burdened by financial hardship, stood guard under a streetlamp every night, barely clothed. Five years later, she returned home exhausted, only to find her missing husband sitting on the sofa, watching television and drinking beer...

What expression should she use?

A forced smile?

This is even more tragic than Waterloo Bridge!

Russell's thinking is quite jumpy, while the Avengers didn't think that far ahead. They only knew that their long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, completely disregarding whether the entire universe could withstand it.

"A bunch of irresponsible bastards, only caring about their own pleasure, completely disregarding whether others can stand it or not..."

Buzzing!

Just as Russell was muttering to himself, a large swath of golden-red light shone through the windows of the villa. Outside the Stark Mansion, a teleportation portal opened, and one after another, the Avengers, full of bravado and high spirits, strode out.

Uh, the natives of Wakanda even started chanting.

Five years later, the fallen heroes are ready to fight!

"Guys, let's go welcome these latecomers; they're way too late."

Stark chuckled, and the Avengers in the hall laughed along, all heading outside. Russell followed; he was there to see what the spectacle was like, knowing their expressions would be quite interesting upon learning Thanos was dead.

It was indeed quite a spectacle; a certain mage wearing a red cloak was completely dumbfounded.

"This... this, who the hell changed the script?!"
