Chapter 588 Banner's Persuasion

"Maybe we should make a decision earlier, Banner. You and I, together with Noah, need to work together to prepare for future crises that may cause destruction to the Earth, to prevent the Earth from being blown to pieces like what we saw today." At the end, Tony recalled the scenes of today, and his breathing became a little rapid, but he did not fall into a daze like he did when he was talking to Nick Fury.

However, Banner also saw Tony's rapid breathing and the exchange in his eyes. He felt that Tony seemed a little anxious.

"Tony, are you too tired? What happened today is indeed a reminder to us that there are other beings in the universe that have ill intentions towards the Earth. But I don't think we need to be too anxious. Kamar-Taj is already repairing the protective shield that is said to have protected the Earth for thousands of years. The dimensional creatures we saw in the morning will not invade the Earth as easily as they did today. And those beings like the Celestials will no longer have an impact on the Earth due to Noah's efforts, so there shouldn't be any more accidents on Earth in the short term."

Banner noticed that Tony's mental state seemed a little anxious, so he slowly explained his thoughts.

"After we eliminate those abnormal races, the Earth will temporarily return to a safe situation."

"But... you're right, Banner." Tony wanted to say something, but after listening to what Banner said, he felt that the Earth would not encounter a situation like before for the time being. He seemed too anxious, which reminded Tony of what happened when he talked to Nick Fury on the phone at noon today.

Could it be that he really has anxiety disorder or PTSD? Tony couldn't help wondering.

"Banner, don't you feel anything after seeing that scene today?" Tony suddenly looked at Banner and asked.

"What? What scene are you referring to?" Banner was confused, not sure what Tony was referring to specifically.

"After the new god appeared, the earth was destroyed with a single blow. Human beings and all life on earth were reduced to ashes in an instant. It was a scene like hell." Tony recalled that he could only stay in the temple helplessly and watch the collapsed debris floating in the air outside. He began to feel an urgent sense of anxiety in his heart.

"Shock and fear, these were probably most of the emotions in my heart at the time. But fortunately, we were not destroyed in the end. We won, and the earth is still intact. This is the most important thing for me." Banner recalled that scene. He was also very shocked at the time. Hulk suddenly came out of the transformation state, and then the first time he turned back into a human, he saw the doomsday scene outside.

However, although he was shocked by the terrible scene at that time, he soon remembered that their temple had not been destroyed and the earth could still be restored. Reason dispelled the despair in his heart, and then things did as he thought, and they finally protected the earth.

"Indeed, we successfully defended the Earth. However, when I think of the scene at that time, I feel a sense of urgency and tension in my heart. As long as I close my eyes, that catastrophic scene will be played out repeatedly in my mind. That's why I want us to unite and prevent those disasters from happening again on Earth."

"Tony, I feel like you're not in good condition." At this time, Banner finally noticed that there was something wrong with Tony's tone and condition, and even his breathing became noticeably faster.

Banner frowned, with some concern in his eyes: "Tony, I noticed that you don't seem to be in good condition. Those memories and emotions are too heavy for you, and they are affecting your mental health. The sense of urgency and tension you mentioned, as well as the repeated performance of disaster scenes in your mind, are all typical symptoms of PTSD."

"I suggest you seek professional psychotherapy and let a professional help you deal with these emotions," Banner advised.

"What? Banner, I think I'm fine. I'm just worried about the future safety of the earth. Everyone's experience is similar to mine. Am I the only one with mental problems?" Tony waved his hand.

"Everyone's situation is different. I think it's because you have such a strong sense of responsibility that those powerful enemies and the crisis of the earth's destruction make you feel urgent, and you currently don't have the ability to deal with those crises, which makes you anxious. This emotion is like an invisible vortex, constantly dragging you into deeper worries." Banner expressed his understanding based on his own understanding of Tony and the situation he has observed so far.

"Tony, we don't need to be so anxious. We can slow down. There's a Chinese proverb that goes, 'When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.' We still have Noah, a tall man, right? Although we can't rely on Noah for everything, and each of us has our own responsibilities, at least we can take it slow and not be too impatient."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Tony's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he just felt that Banner's chattering in front of him made him even more confused, but he listened to most of it.

"In short, Tony, you need to see a psychiatrist. At the very least, go and talk more with your family." Banner patted Tony on the shoulder and said.

Tony nodded. Excluding other relatives of the Stark family, the only person who could be considered a family member at this moment was Pepper. However, he had never told Pepper about this.

"What are you two talking about here?" At this moment, Noah's voice suddenly came.

Noah saw Tony and Banner standing beside the corridor. They seemed to be discussing something while walking and then stopped. Because they were in the center of the corridor, they would not discuss issues in such a place, right?

Noah came here with Gwen. She heard that there was an e-sports room here, so she pulled Noah over. Lissandra was chatting with Pepper and several women from the Eternals on the other side.

After Noah and Gwen arrived at the e-sports room, they also saw Thor and his group. Noah looked at Thor who was playing the game and thought that Thor would not evolve into the fat Thor in advance, right? When watching the movie, Noah burst into laughter when he saw Thor in that situation, but then he thought it was a pity.
