Marvel: From Spider-Man to No Return

"You're not Iron Man? What do you mean?" Tony was most concerned about this topic.

Old Tony looked back at the projection on the wall with a bitter look on his face.

"They are all gone, leaving an Iron Man behind, what's the point?"

"Gone? Where did they go?"

Old Tony shuddered, "They... are dead."

"What?"

Tony and others were shocked.

"Is he dead?" Steve looked at the man in the Stars and Stripes uniform in the visual projection with complicated eyes.

Wanda also subconsciously looked at "herself" in the projection, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Why, in the other me, her smile is so forced...is it because Pietro is not here?"

"How did they die?" Yang Ming asked.

"They...died because of me, I killed them." Old Tony's cloudy eyes became darker and he did not continue.

Yang Ming didn't ask further questions. The other party would say it when he wanted to say it. A lot of time was wasted now and he had to act faster.

"Mr. Stark, we are here to rescue you, come with us," he said.

Old Tony looked at the projection and sighed: "I won't leave, you can leave. This time, I won't run away again."

Yang Ming frowned, "But we need your help."

Old Tony still refused to agree, "No, I don't think you need me, I'm just a coward."

"You are indeed a coward, Tony."

Suddenly, a sarcastic sound came from behind everyone, and a tall mechanical warrior walked into the passage. The blue light in his eyes was like two bright stars, and an inexplicable sense of oppression swept over everyone.

"Ultron!"

Yang Ming's eyebrows moved slightly. This guy actually came over in person. Has his problem been solved?

Behind him, the moment Tony saw the mechanical warrior, the scene from a year ago reappeared in his mind, and the fear in his heart began to spread.

Ultron ignored the defeated men in front of him. He slowly walked into the room and locked eyes with the elderly Tony.

"You are the weakest Tony I have ever seen. You are indeed not worthy of being Iron Man." His tone sounded like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.

Old Tony lowered his head bitterly and his figure became even more rickety.

"Yes, I don't deserve it."

As he spoke, he sat quietly on the chair with his back to everyone.

He stopped talking and just stared blankly at the group photo projected on the wall.

Ultron snorted coldly and turned to look at Yang Ming and others. His strong steel body exuded a sense of oppression.

"You have two choices now, surrender, or die!"

Yang Ming looked solemn, and the pressure coming from the other party made him a little bit intolerable.

"I think there should be a third option."

"Hmph, ridiculous human beings."

The blue light in Ultron's eyes suddenly swelled, and the smell of gunpowder in the air quickly spread. Steve and others' hearts were in their throats, and beads of sweat were already forming on their foreheads.

"Tick tock..."

As sweat dripped from Tony's cheeks to the ground, Ultron finally moved.

"Boom..."

The alloy floor beneath Ultron's feet suddenly dented, and instantly turned into a phantom that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. The next moment it appeared in front of Yang Ming's eyes.

"boom!!"

The air burst, and the spider sense had already warned him. Yang Ming only had time to dodge by an inch, and Ultron's steel fist had already landed on his chest.

"boom!!"

The room shook violently, and the wall behind Yang Ming cracked into a spider web shape. His body was deeply embedded in the wall, and he was immediately locked around the neck by Ultron.

"Spider-Man, you lose." Ultron said with a cruel smile.

"Yami!"

Tony and others exclaimed, the nano armor was quickly put on, the shield flew, and the scarlet energy quickly emerged.

"boom!!!"

Ultron turned around, his blue eyes suddenly fired two high-temperature rays, the shield rolled and flew upside down, the scarlet energy dissipated, and the room instantly turned into a battlefield. Tony, who was wearing a nano-armor, quickly protected the old Tony under the nano-shield.

.

"Kakaka..."

Rubbles continued to splash from the roof. Ultron looked at the vulnerable enemy and let out a disdainful laugh again.

"Human power is too weak."

"Really, but as a non-human being, you don't seem to be very strong."

At this time, Yang Ming, who was deep in the wall, suddenly spoke. Ultron turned around, the blue light in his eyes flickering, and then was drowned by the dazzling purple light.

"you......"

"What are you, you actually choked me, go to hell and throw yourself on the street!!!"

Yang Ming roared, and the purple energy roared, wrapping Ultron's steel body straight into the ceiling.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the entire building began to tremble, and it quickly spread to the surrounding ground.

"There's an earthquake, run quickly..."

"Oh my God, there's actually an earthquake in New York..."

"Run..."

"boom......."

The next moment, a purple beam of light burst out of the ground. Along with the roar and roar of the Man of Steel, rubble flew all over the sky, and the Ultron Building was penetrated by the purple beam of light.

Going down the terrifying hole, the rooms on the lowest floor have been reduced to ruins.

"Wow..."

The rubble from the ruins slid down, and Tony lifted the rubble above the nano-shield. The elderly Tony who was protected within it quickly stood up.

He looked at the trembling figure half-kneeling on the ground in the ruins, and his eyes locked on a fragment of a gem emitting purple light on the metal glove.

"That's...the Infinity Stone!"

At this moment, the emotions that had been accumulated for many years in the elderly Tony's heart finally burst out.

He knelt in the ruins with clenched fists, muddy tears dripping down his wrinkled cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Steve, Banner, Thor, Peter...it's my fault..."

He thumped the ground feebly, roared feebly, apologized feebly...

"Ahem, let's go quickly. Ultron has not disappeared. I can only do this."

Looking at the almost collapsed old Tony, Yang Ming slowly stood up, holding his painful chest and grinning, his arms shaking.

This time, even changing the suit cannot eliminate the side effects caused by the power stone.

"Yami, are you okay?" Tony quickly came over to help Yang Ming.

"Wow..."

The gravel slipped from the corner, and Steve and Wanda also stood up in disgrace.

"Yami..."

"Stop shouting, I can't die yet."

Yang Ming's face turned pale and he asked Steve to take old Tony and leave here quickly.

Not long after, several people emerged from the hole, and a large number of mechanical soldiers surrounded the place.

"Damn it, Ultron, this bitch, has the guts to fight in a duel!" Tony yelled.

Yang Ming's mouth twitched, "Can you beat me in a duel?"

"Yes, his vibranium body was destroyed by you."

"But I suspect he still has a spare vibranium body."

"Well, you'd better do it then!"

While the two were talking nonsense, mechanical soldiers quickly surrounded them, and Ultron's roar came from the mouths of these mechanical soldiers.

"Hand over the power gem and I can let you go!"

Yang Ming secretly cursed nonsense, and the purple light spread from his hand again, and the surrounding mechanical soldiers were suddenly startled.

No, it was Ultron who was startled.

"Damn it, you coward who can only use the power of gems!" Ultron yelled.

"No, people who use the power of gems are not cowards."

At some point, the elderly Tony's mood stabilized. He stumbled forward, took off his coat, and the reactor on his chest radiated light.

"Back then, I didn't have the courage to snap my fingers, so I became a coward.

And now, I don’t want to be a coward anymore.”

Elderly Tony took off the watch strap from his wrist and handed it to Yang Ming.

"There is something you want in here, young man, go ahead and leave the rest to me."

His cloudy eyes gradually brightened and he smiled.

"After all these years, it's time to get rid of it."

Yang Ming seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to do, and took a deep breath.

"You...actually I have a way to take you away."

Old Tony smiled and shook his head: "No, young man, you can't keep someone who wants to leave."

Yang Ming looked solemn: "I may now know where your guilt comes from, and I also know that you did nothing wrong.

I want to tell you that you have no obligation to face an enemy that you cannot win at all."

"But the war back then was obviously winnable."

"You know that's not what I meant."

"It's not important anymore."

Old Tony tapped the reactor on his chest, and the nanometal slowly spread throughout his body.

"I'll do it!" he said, extending his hand.

On the side, the expressions of Tony and others changed.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything stupid."

Old Tony took one last look at the three of them, as if he wanted to remember this scene forever.

"I think the meaning of my coming here has been achieved. I am very happy to see you."

His lips and teeth moved slightly, "So, please."

"Please, let me go."

"I can grow up with Morgan and grow old with Pepper. I have no regrets."

"I don't want to continue living with guilt and regret like this.

Every night, I dream about that battle.

I seized the last and only chance to win, but I hesitated.

The price of hesitation is failure.

I failed, but I survived and they died.

They died because of me. If it weren't for my hesitation and cowardice, they wouldn't have to die.

I believe if it were Steve, he would snap his fingers and save everyone without hesitation.

But without if, I lose the qualification to become Iron Man.

Regret and guilt torture me every night, making me more and more cowardly.

Later, Morgan had a happy life, Pepper also left, and the light in my life went out.

In this life, one must eventually reach the end of the journey..."

Nano-metal gradually covered his old face, and he finally became Iron Man again.

Everyone fell silent.

The mechanical soldiers were approaching step by step. Yang Ming stared at the Iron Man in front of him and finally stopped being entangled.

A smile appeared on his face, "The end of the journey, I understand. Goodbye, Tony."

The gem fragments were handed over to the other party, and Yang Ming put away his watch and slowly retreated behind the elderly Tony.

Looking at the purple gem in his palm, the nostalgia in the eyes of old Tony flashed away.

"I am...Iron Man!"

Holding the power stone tightly, old Tony announced his return, purple light poured into his body, and the violent power quickly destroyed his body.

"boom!!"

Half-kneeling and hitting the ground, a purple halo swept over all the mechanical soldiers present, and countless mechanical parts turned into fragments in mid-air...

"Goodbye, Tony..."

"No, Iron Man!"
