“That was a dimension beyond reality. Robert helped me complete the final step.” Digital Tony glanced warily at Ian, revealing nothing.
Ian even suspected that his so-called "beyond reality" dimension was just an attempt to fool himself.
"Sigh, is this what trust between humans and computers is like? I truly understand the 'Omnic Crisis' all too well." Ian's clumsy attempt at provocation, still in its early stages, was of course not going to succeed.
"I was once a human being too."
Digital Tony spoke expressionlessly, "Just as you can see, I foresaw this might happen a long time ago, and once I realized it was inevitable..."
He paused briefly here, "I chose to upload my consciousness, abandoning my soul—I believe that only machines can remain unaffected by this disaster."
how to say.
He truly lives up to his reputation as the brains of the Marvel Universe, fitting Ian's stereotypical image of Iron Man.
"So were you ultimately affected?" Ian was curious about what happened after the scene that had just been shown. He looked at the complex-looking numbers in front of him and asked Tony in a low voice.
"Just tell me secretly, I promise I won't tell anyone else." Ian's sly expression left Digital Tony speechless for a long time.
After a while.
“You’ll see Robert’s body in two days. I’ll allocate some computing power to retrieve it.” Digital Tony shook his head wearily.
No answer.
Ian nodded thoughtfully.
"Dividing computing power? So you also have a limit, right? Most of your computing power is used to guide the Infinity Stones back to Earth?" He changed the subject at the right time, and felt confused.
Ian was still not quite clear about the capabilities of AI Tony.
"Guiding the Infinity Stones back to Earth is a minor issue." Digital Tony, being an honest man, patiently answered the boy who had already been labeled "annoying" in his database.
"What my main computing power is doing, just like everyone you can see in this base, is stripping every affected soul back to its original form."
“Gwen, Betty, and others can all be seen as test experiments I conducted.”
"This is a massive undertaking. Each merged soul requires the most precise calculations to correctly separate it into millions of different individuals."
"Ultimately, these individual souls will all return to their original lives under my guidance," Tony succinctly summarized what he was doing.
Upon hearing this, Ian was also somewhat astonished and gasped. Even his imagination as a renowned author of futuristic fiction was not enough to make him dare to make such a connection.
"I thought Gwen and the others were some kind of special souls..." Ian clicked his tongue inwardly. Perhaps the main theme of Marvel is that Iron Man will eventually become its savior?
No.
He's more than just a savior now.
This time, Tony is even going to make a cameo appearance as the creator!
"You plan to reopen the multiverse using the Infinity Stones. Can the Infinity Stones really do that?" Ian was certainly able to connect the information he had previously obtained with the information he had now.
If the other party is not lying.
He may have finally come to a complete understanding of the significance of Digital Tony's existence.
“We don’t need to achieve our goal in one go. We have an infinite amount of time, enough for us to reopen an infinite number of universes.” Tony raised his hand against the dark holographic background.
"Whether it succeeds or not, my existence is for the purpose of making this attempt."
The words fell.
Four dazzling gems appeared in his palm—the purple Power Gem, the blue Space Gem, the red Reality Gem, and the green Time Gem.
The only missing pieces are the Soul Gem and the Mind Gem.
Chapter 85 Return, God-like Authority!
The brilliance of the Infinity Stones illuminated the surroundings.
I don't know why Digital Tony hasn't turned off the virtual projection.
"This isn't right? Why are there only four?"
Ian stared at the four gems in surprise, which contradicted the information he had heard that only the last gem was missing. However, after a moment's thought, Ian immediately looked up at the sky as if he had realized something.
This is wisdom at work.
But it didn't move completely.
Ian only saw the darkness projected virtually; he couldn't even see the ceiling of the base, let alone see the reflection of the planet devourer in his eyes.
"One of the gems is on the invincible Galactus, right... Even though he's dead, he still agreed to let me touch it. If you don't believe me, wait until I've touched it and then ask his corpse."
“I assure you my esteemed Uncle Galactus will not deny this.” Ian felt himself tainted by greed, one of the seven deadly sins, and Tony did not refute his assessment.
of course.
Digital Tony also offered no comment on Ian's necrophiliac request, stating, "Collecting all the Infinity Stones will be the time we verify whether we can succeed."
He stared at the floating Infinity Stones, seemingly unconcerned that it was all just a dream.
"They are so beautiful."
Ian's eyes widened in disbelief.
Upon seeing this, Digital Tony immediately caused the four Infinity Stones to float in front of Ian.
"Is it okay to touch this?"
Ian's fingertips touched the surface of the gemstone—cold and hard. The lack of the expected job gain made Ian feel slightly disappointed.
I didn't feel the surge of power either.
"Could it be that my immunity in this world also means I won't have the chance to use the Infinity Stones?" Ian sighed inwardly. He had previously guessed that Tony might want him to snap his fingers.
result?
Doesn't look like it?
"These gems are truly beautiful."
Digital Tony, upon seeing this scene, showed no change in expression whatsoever.
"They are the last Infinity Stones, and also the most powerful. The collapse of the multiverse also means that they are closer to their original form than ever before."
He simply spoke softly and explained to Ian.
"I know."
Ian nodded.
The story about the Infinity Stones originating from Nemesis is that she's one of the top 50 or even top 100 super-strong characters in Marvel. It's because Ian has heard this that he's now thinking about how to acquire a profession.
Must the gem be made to bleed?
still?
Ian frowned and activated his super intelligence.
at the same time.
Digital Tony stared at Ian, mimicking a surprised tone, "You're not even a little bit excited? The power that once represented omnipotence is now in your hands... in your mouth?!"
"No way! You actually put that in your mouth!?"
This time, Digital Tony's emotions were absolutely genuine.
He quickly raised his hand and pulled the Infinity Stones, and the four stones that Ian had already stuffed into his mouth broke through Ian's lips and flew out again.
"I actually just wanted to test my teeth and see if they were fit to be in my mouth." Ian wasn't telling the truth, which is perfectly normal.
He feared that Digital Tony wouldn't understand him.
sometimes.
Don't push your stomach too hard.
Who knows if the system is hidden inside?
"Can I have another bite?"
Undeterred, Ian tentatively glanced at the digital Tony.
This doesn't really have any impact on the world. He doesn't need to really digest and absorb the profession he acquires. After he empties his bowels and washes them, no one can tell that something is wrong.
The Infinity Stones might still be as brand new as if they were just made.
"..."
Digital Tony was speechless at Ian's suggestion and shook his head frantically.
To be honest, if he hadn't discovered that he didn't have the necessary permissions, he really wanted to allocate some computing power to make targeted predictions about Ian's behavior.
“I can grant you any other request, but this is absolutely not.” Digital Tony took the Infinity Stone directly and deactivated the surrounding dark projection—the hall where many researchers were busy reappeared, as if these people had no idea what conversation had taken place in the holographic projection.
"Ok."
Ian nodded with a hint of regret. He ultimately failed to find a successful way to transform the power of the Nemesis into a new profession and then make it great once again within himself.
Feeling depressed.
Ian grabbed a bag of snacks from a researcher's table and walked away. The researcher glanced at him, then protected his snack box, preventing Ian from successfully grabbing a second bag.
"You're wary of a good person like me?"
Sensing the researcher's wariness, the boy felt even more frustrated. He angrily threw down the Franklin he had already pulled out, only to find the researcher still staring at him with a helpless expression.
"Do you think I can still find a place to use money given how badly the world is in its current state?"
The researchers remain protective of their food.
"..."
This time, it was probably Ian's turn to be speechless.
"Perhaps you can use it to wipe your butt? Trust me, it's definitely better than paper; your butt will be full of guilt." Even a genius like him could only come up with such a flimsy excuse in the end.
"Is it possible that I don't need to wipe my butt at all because I'm using a disposable body?" The researcher stared at Ian with his big, bright eyes.
Eyes wide open.
After a while.
Speechless, Ian couldn't think of a response for a long time.
