Chapter 532: The Correct Way to Use the Softening Spell (Second Update)

"You've really outdone yourself this time!"

Jerry rubbed his forehead.

Given Quill's relentless chatter, which rivaled that of Spider-Man, it was likely that everyone in the meeting room now knew what had happened.

Sure enough, the large meeting room suddenly erupted in thunderous laughter. This included the original Avengers team, led by Tony and Steve, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. team.

"Peter, the world is a dangerous place. Remember to talk less in the future!"

With a smile, Jerry patted Peter on the shoulder and secretly cast a softening spell on him. Then, he led the somewhat bewildered Thor towards the meeting room.

Peter's hair stood on end.

"Something about Witch just feels really scary!"

At that moment, Peter had no idea that over the next month, he would find himself in an awkward situation that would require a secret trip to the hospital.

"Ha ha ha ha—oh, it's Jerry!"

The people in the meeting room, who had been laughing at a video, quickly shut it off and put on serious expressions, as if they hadn't been the ones laughing just moments ago.

Jerry really wanted to cast a memory wipe on everyone and erase their memories.

But he decided against it. After all, they had already been laughed at, and casting an Obliviate spell wouldn't change anything. If someone's memory returned, he would just be laughed at again.

However, he felt that a certain chatty gossip needed a bit of punishment.

"Softening Spell!"

Jerry waved his hand and cast another softening spell at Quill, but this time, the effect would last for a year.

For the next year, Quill's romantic life would be completely non-existent.

"Cough, cough, since everyone is here, let's get started!"

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Tony quickly shifted the focus to the main topic.

They were all afraid that Jerry might cast an Obliviate on them, just as he had with Steve and the others. The few of them had only remembered what had happened after seeing the footage from the security cameras.

Jerry waved his hand and sat down, looking dejected.

Tony, now serious, continued:

"Recently, you've all seen on TV that the media is pushing a narrative. They claim that while we, the Avengers, prevent disasters, we also create them. While saving lives, we also harm others.

The Avengers need to be regulated, overseen by the entire world, to prevent these disasters from happening."

Hearing Tony's words, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, since the Avengers' inception, they have been protecting the world's safety, fighting against threats that ordinary people could never stand up to.

But the Avengers are not gods. In preventing disasters, they can't always save everyone, so there are often casualties.

However, without their efforts, the number of casualties would be much higher. These media narratives clearly seemed off.

"Tony, continue!"

Steve could tell that Tony wasn't finished.

Tony hesitated for a moment before pulling out a stack of papers.

"A few days ago, UN officials approached me with this!"

Everyone looked up at the stack of papers, which bore the title "Superhero Regulation Agreement."

"This is a treaty signed by 117 countries of the United Nations. To be precise, eighty countries agreed, and thirty-seven opposed, but the majority ruled, and here we are with this agreement."

Tony explained.

"In a situation like this, our country would definitely be the first to agree. The politicians have probably been unhappy with our actions for a long time."

Sam snorted in response.

He knew his country better than anyone. A powerful entity like the Avengers, which couldn't be controlled, would naturally make the higher-ups uneasy.

"Sam, you're actually wrong this time. From what I understand, when this agreement was first proposed, the Secretary of State and others did indeed express their immediate approval. However, what surprised me was that the newly appointed President strongly overruled all opposition and, unexpectedly, cast the deciding vote against it."

Tony shrugged, a hint of confusion on his face.

The others present were equally surprised, as this went against their country's usual behavior.

Only Jerry knew the reason: the current President was the former Vice President, and his daughter had been cured by Jerry. Naturally, he wouldn't move against the Avengers.

"None of this matters. The real question is, should we sign this agreement?"

Tony scanned the room, his expression turning serious.

"The United Nations has issued a notice: anyone who doesn't sign the agreement must retire forcibly, or they will be arrested as criminals. Only those who agree to be monitored by all governments worldwide will be allowed to carry out missions under the supervision of the regulators."

As Tony finished, the meeting room erupted into chaos.

The group ultimately split into two factions. One was the staunch opposition, led by Steve, whose reasoning was straightforward. Just like the previous S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers were currently pure, taking on missions without any ulterior motives, rushing to save the world whenever a disaster struck. Once they signed the agreement, the decisions on where to go, what to do, and how to act would no longer be theirs but would be dictated by the United Nations' regulators. If these regulators had issues, the Avengers' future actions could be unpredictable.

The other faction was in favor, also divided into two subgroups. The first, including Tony, Vision, and Rhodey, fully agreed, believing that placing a constraint on the Avengers could prevent future arrogance and potential disasters. The second, represented by Black Widow, believed in a surface-level compromise. Many Avengers had families, and they couldn't stand up to all the governments. Later, once they gained enough trust, they could revert to their current state.

"Jerry, what do you think?"

After the heated debate, all eyes turned to Jerry.

As the most powerful member of the Avengers, Jerry's decision was crucial. No one else could match his strength.

"What? Oh, why don't we just kill everyone who proposed this agreement? If they're all dead, there won't be an agreement, and we won't have to decide whether to sign it or not. Problem solved at the source, simple as that."

Jerry was sitting there, completely disinterested in the argument. Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with Aisha's request for him to fall in love with himself.

A government made up of ordinary people wanting to regulate him? They must be living too long and looking for a quick death.
