People in American comics start abstracting from template capabilities

California - 10880 Marbury, Breck Shores, San Diego

This is a sea-view villa built on a mountain, covering an area of ​​1,021 square meters. The overall structure is divided into two floors, including a helipad, a freshwater swimming pool, a private tennis court and many other luxurious facilities.

The owner of the villa, Tony Stark, is located in the three underground floors of the villa, lying on an ergonomic chair in a somewhat embarrassed state.

Several azure holographic projections surrounded him, and dense data streams and analysis charts were also beating continuously.

The rich voice of intelligent butler Jarvis echoed throughout the laboratory,

〈Sir, you have been working non-stop for more than 48 hours〉

〈Considering your health, I suggest you stop working immediately and eat and sleep normally〉

If anyone familiar with it saw Tony Stark's appearance at this moment, they would definitely scream:

His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were dark and thick, his cheeks were thin, and his red eyes were bloodshot.

His fingers trembled slightly, Tony raised the corners of his mouth and spoke softly, as if if he applied more force, he would completely lose his strength and collapse to the ground.

"Jar...Jarvis,"

"Continue injecting me with concentrated nutrients and amphetamine compounds!"

According to the underlying program logic, Jarvis, as an artificial intelligence, cannot refuse the instructions given by Tony Stark.

So, under the control of Jarvis, the robotic arm standing quietly aside began to move.

〈Injecting in progress...〉

Watching the light yellow liquid in the transparent glass tube being slowly pushed into his body,

Tony Stark closed his eyes for the first time in a long time, his vision fell into darkness, but he could hear his beating heart and subtle breathing.

It seems that I can feel it. Those chemical substances are accompanied by the blood in the veins and continue to spread to the limbs and bones...

This silent and noisy world has pressed the pause button at this moment,

〔"does it worth?"〕

"Yeah...is all this I've done really worth it?"

Tony Stark murmured to himself, as if he was not aware of the strange whispers coming from his ears.

I just feel that the memory fragments in my mind keep flashing back, and the clock turns back...

"It's useless! It's useless! It's all useless!"

Angrily throwing a series of steel suit blueprints he had previously designed into the data recycling bin, Tony Stark collapsed and scratched his already messy hair.

"In the face of that kind of monster, these are just toys!"

"More firepower? A bigger machine?"

Since the last time, after witnessing the glimpse of the "behemoth", Tony Stark has fallen into deep anxiety and a mental state that can be called crazy.

Increasingly irritable temper and indifference to things around him,

Tony Stark, who is still sane, had to choose to temporarily stay away from his cherished Pepper Potts to avoid causing greater harm.

"We don't even know who the enemy is..."

"What exactly is on the other side of the hole?"

A deep sense of powerlessness swept through Tony Stark's heart. At this moment, he clearly realized that human power has its limits.

No matter how talented I am, I can't break through the limitations of the times and achieve major breakthroughs in science and technology.

The future of humanity is dark.

"I can't do anything..."

Perhaps, even Tony Stark himself didn't realize:

His mentality gradually began to sink, and a large amount of negative emotions and energy filled his mind.

Gradually, an inexplicable sleepiness that transcended the material level swept over him, and the amphetamine compound, which had a strong stimulating effect, also lost its effect at this moment.

With an increasingly desperate mental state and an exhausted body, Tony Stark's consciousness gradually sank into darkness...

…

Feeling the noisy sound in his ears, Tony Stark opened his eyes drowsily,

For some reason, he felt a burst of pain in his limbs, as well as waves of trance and blockage.

It was as if someone had inserted a sharp knife into the brain and stirred it up. His thinking seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, becoming stiff and not as agile and quick as before.

Just when Tony was still wondering whether his physical function was impaired due to his drug abuse,

A familiar voice came to my ears,

"you're awake?"

"Nick Fury?!"

Tony Stark turned his head in surprise and looked at the figure slowly walking in the distance.

The familiar black braised egg bald head, the only difference is,

At this moment, Nick Fury is wearing a silver-gray fabric costume with a metallic luster. It has a simple and elegant appearance. There are two light blue lines on the side, which looks full of technology.

Perhaps he was a little surprised by Tony Stark's sudden voice. Nick Fury narrowed his eyes and looked at Tony's face for a while, then said in a deep voice:

"Recovering body functions so quickly?"

"Yes, you are the best among this batch of Tony Starks."

"?"

Tony: (ω｀)

"What are you talking about? Nick, today is not April Fools' Day!"

But Nick Fury had a accustomed expression and spoke indifferently,

"You are the 7251st Tony Stark who has said this to me today."

"What's the meaning?"

Tony Stark asked doubtfully, while his eyes kept looking at the surrounding environment.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that he was not lying in the underground laboratory of the mansion at this moment, but was instead located in a place similar to a "cliff".

The surrounding environment is relatively dark, perhaps underground or in another closed environment.

It's just that the "rock formations" here are very strange, with complicated "patterns" carved on the surface.

Like a combination of circuit etching and DNA gene base pairing patterns, a faint light shines through the lines.

But the Nick Fury in front of him didn't seem to have much patience, and waved his hand irritably,

"You just need to remember that the [defective products] accidentally captured by the [Claws of Tindalos] like us are the truly lucky ones."

"We don't need to be [SEED]!"

"Otherwise, it will be like the one over there."

Looking in the direction Nick Fury raised his hand and pointed,

Later, Tony saw an unforgettable scene in his life, which was no less shocking than the "shocking glimpse" before:

Metal pillars that block out the sky and the sun stand on the ground as if they connect the sky and the earth. These living "tree-shaped" buildings take the main trunk as the center, continuously extend outwards, and split into "branches".

But what hangs under the "branches" are budding, bright red egg-shaped translucent creations, and the human figure curled up inside can be vaguely seen.

Multiple strip-shaped metal tentacles extending from the "branches" wrap the "egg" in a structural form like ribs protecting internal organs.

But what shocked Tony Stark the most was that he saw many familiar faces in those oval translucent creations: Natasha, Phil Coulson, whom he had only met a few times, Rhodes , Nick Fury, even himself...

There are more unfamiliar faces.

Tony Stark was stunned;

"What is this!? Clone Wars?"

"Tony, that's not funny, I've heard it so many times."

Suddenly, just when Tony was about to continue asking Nick Fury some questions,

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that one of the "fruits" in this "giant metal jungle" was moving, and the amplitude was getting bigger and bigger.

"Puff——"

Then, he saw a pair of naked arms breaking open from the "egg", and a moist and white face full of panic was revealed, along with the limbs fluttering randomly.

Tony's heart sank to the bottom, because that was a face he could see every day - himself.

A large amount of light red solution flows out from the damaged "egg\

,""Zizzizi——"

Immediately afterwards, Tony heard a harsh buzzing sound from far to near, and looked towards the source of the sound:

It was a "polyhedron" with a faint blue arc flashing on its surface, consisting of multiple huge pieces of flesh and blood that looked like brain tissue mixed with a large number of metal components. It was connected to its surface by numerous fine cables like a dense forest.

At the same time, groups of multi-legged mechanical octopus-shaped "floating machines" were wandering around the "polyhedron", and multiple servo arms were also twisting.

"what is that?"

Silently looking at Tony Stark, whose expression was constantly changing, Nick Fury, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke,

"The "fruit farmer" in charge of the area we are in is surrounded by [servitors]."

"So what happens next?"

After a brief moment of silence, Nick Fury spoke quietly:

“What do you do when you see a ripe fruit on one of your fruit trees?”

Faced with Nick Fury's sudden question, Tony answered subconsciously, but was quickly stunned.

"Of course it's picking..."

Then, Tony Stark saw:

Two mechanical octopus-like [Servants] broke away from the huge "group" and came to the "self".

Skillfully raising the metal tentacles, the ends of the tentacles cracked and emitted a blazing red light.

He rotated around the top of "his" head and raised another metal tentacle.

Like opening a can, he opened Tony Stark's skull.

The remaining slender tentacles penetrated it, stirring constantly, searching for something, and finally seemed to take out some kind of crystalline substance.

The entire "craniotomy" process was very short and quick, and it was over without giving "Tony Stark" much time to resist, and he lost his life.

"Wardfake!"

Even though Tony Stark's mentality has matured a lot after experiencing so many exciting events,

But witnessing with his own eyes the whole process of "himself" having his head opened and the contents removed still made him utter a curse word, making him feel so sick that he almost vomited it out.

Reaching out and patting Tony Stark on the back, Nick Fury spoke in a deep voice,

"You will get used to it, but you must first get familiar with your future working environment with me."

"Work? What work?"

"Mining."

"ah?"

(●—●)

Following Nick Fury, Tony quickly came to the metal buildings surrounding a giant crater as deep as a lunar crater.

As the metal door in front of them slowly opened, Nick Fury and Tony Stark walked in one after another.

Walk through the intricate metal corridors and ride on the orbital lifting platform.

Tony finally reaches the bottom of the pit, where he sees many of the same familiar faces.

But Tony, who had already learned some "truths", restrained his desire to ask questions.

Although I can't tell whether this is a nightmare or if I really traveled through time and space and came to this desperate world,

But now it seems that the only thing he can believe is the first "acquaintance" he saw when he came to this world - Nick Fury.

“What did you mean by mining work?”

The two of them walked side by side, Tony turned and asked,

"Literally, we eliminated [defective products/bad seeds] will have to dig and mine [energy amethyst] in this mining area."

"?"

"What is [Energy Amethyst]? It sounds like some kind of alien mineral? Similar to coal?"

"Also, the technology here is so advanced, why do we still need manual labor?"

Facing the confused Tony, Nick Fury said indifferently,

"You can understand it as the bad taste of "that adult"."

"That adult? Who is it?!"

Just when Tony asked in confusion, Nick Fury, who had always shown a very calm and unfazed look, suddenly looked frightened.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Tony's mouth and pulled him to the corner. He turned his head left and right in surprise, as if he was worried that Tony's words just now would provoke something.

"Don't talk, don't think, don't think!"

“He is everywhere, and when you recite His name, He can feel it!”

"If He really responds and crosses dimensions to come here, it will break the balance and we may all die!"

"No! That is a result more terrifying than death!"

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you!"

"(You Know Who)!"

Looking at Nick Fury who looked extremely nervous, as if he would tear him alive if he said one more word,

Tony swallowed and hid his curiosity in his heart.

"Be grateful, Tony!"

"In your opinion, these jobs are meaningless, but the reward for labor is enough to keep us [defective products] alive!"

After giving Tony a series of serious words, Nick Fury took him to the edge of the mining area.

There, a figure wearing the same uniform as Nick Fury was immersed in using the mechanical device in his hand.

From the piled rubble, a dark purple crystal was dug out.

"ah!"

But the sudden scream attracted Tony's attention, and he looked over.

But he saw a [Servant] similar in appearance to the one before suspended in mid-air. Its scarlet mechanical eyes were coldly scanning the crowd below.

Waving the metal tentacles, it seemed as if he was waving a long whip, severely lashing the kneeling figure below.

"Nick Fury?"

As if it brought back some not-so-good memories, Nick Fury, standing next to Tony, looked embarrassed.

"Let's go somewhere else for a walk first."

At this moment, a cold mechanical synthesized sound rang in my ears,

\u003cEnd of work\u003e

"You're lucky you don't have to work on your first day here."

Shrugging, Nick Fury took Tony to the dining area.

But it's just an area filled with a large number of metal tables and chairs in an extremely wide space.

The two sat face to face on the metal seat. Nick Fury handed Tony a "long piece" that was as dark as his skin color and spoke silently,

"Eat."

After taking the "cube", Tony Stark was full of questions and had no intention of eating.

But I was still curious about this weird-looking thing called "food" in my hand, so I raised my head and asked:

"What is this? Protein blocks? Compressed biscuits or something like that?"

Tony took a tentative bite, but it felt dry and tasted extremely weird, but he still endured the discomfort, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"Why does it taste so bad?"

But Nick Fury, who had always maintained a serious face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly,

"Corpse starch."

"?"

"vomit--"

Hearing Nick Fury's words, Tony almost spit out his stomach juices, but it didn't help.

Looking at Nick Fury who was still slowly chewing on the lump made of "corpse starch", Tony spoke in disbelief,

"How do you manage to eat it?"

"Otherwise? What else do you think you can eat?"

"The corpse used as the raw material could not have fallen from that "tree"..."

"uh-huh."

"vomit--"

Looking at Tony who was vomiting in front of him, Nick Fury smiled for a long time, as if this was a glimmer of fun in his boring life, so much so that he could still joke,

"Don't worry, it's good to have corpses. After all, they use [carbon chain recombination and reduction technology], so basically anything can be used as raw materials."

But soon, he stopped laughing.

Because Tony Stark, who couldn't stop vomiting, just collapsed on the table, motionless.

"?"

When Nick Fury stepped forward and raised his hand to check Tony's pulse and eye focus, he was shocked to find:

"died!?"

"Fuck Fuck!"

…

His consciousness fell into chaos again, and he struggled to open his eyes, but Tony Stark found that he was in a new place again.

This is a dark and chaotic space where nothing can be seen, an unusually "empty" space, as if time has lost its meaning here.

But soon, Tony saw a blue "flame" appear out of thin air in the darkness.

This "flame" that beats like a living thing gradually begins to fill and spread,

It was even said that Tony saw some colorful "feathers", constantly twisting and trembling eyeballs, ferocious beaks, weird scaly claws,

Finally, it transformed into a tall human form with all the above characteristics. The twisted horns formed a "crown".

"Since you can see the future, why don't you worship?"

But Tony could feel that the faceless face, no, or a face that was constantly changing, was "watching" him.

"Who are you!?"

Tony asked cautiously,

"I?"

"I have many names, but people all call me the God of Hope and Wisdom, the wise man who holds the power of destiny, the Lord of all changes..."

"Tony Stark, you are an interesting human being, but this is not our first meeting, and it will definitely not be our last meeting..."

Frowning deeply, Tony hesitated.

"It seems you forgot?"

"Then let me help you remember it well..."

Afterwards, Tony felt that there were some familiar yet unfamiliar memories in his mind.

"I...I need more knowledge. Human power is limited..."

"I can give you some gifts, but I need to see your future, or in other words, I want you to see your future..."

Then, "I" stuck my head into the twisted flames, and my consciousness fell into darkness again.

"Is this what happened before I woke up for the first time?"

Tony Stark trembled to himself in disbelief,

"Tony, wake up—"

There seemed to be a familiar shout in my ears. It seemed to be the voice of Pepper Pepper?

Everything in front of him began to gradually become blurry, but the "flame" in front of him allowed Tony to clearly hear:

"Tony Stark, you are going to die in the most miserable way possible."

"you……"

Before Tony could continue to speak, the noise coming from his ears and the strong smell of disinfectant penetrated his nostrils, causing his vision to sink into darkness again.

When the light returned to sight, what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling.

And Pepper Potts, who looked anxious and panicked,

When Tony opened his eyes, she looked relieved.

"Tony, you're finally awake."

"The doctor said you were in a coma due to overexertion and mental stress..."

Tony murmured to himself, his eyes dark and unclear,

"So, it's all a dream?"

"What dream? What happened to you Tony?"

But Tony pushed Pepper aside and pulled off the hanging needle on the back of his hand.

"I haven't woken up from my dream yet! Let me out! Let me out!"

Soon, Tony rolled off the hospital bed, stood up staggeringly, and rushed out of the ward door.

But he soon encountered a blockage. Tony Stark, who looked crazy, looked at the bodyguards in black who were approaching him, and kept shouting and screaming,

He also smashed the glass of the fire extinguisher inside the fire hydrant, took it out, and waved it around.

"You are all fake! You are all fake! Hahahaha, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy!!!"

Finally, in Pepper Pepper's almost collapsed eyes, Tony Stark was pinned down by a group of bodyguards, unable to move.

With a crazy look on his face, clear tears kept streaming down his face from his eyes, Tony Stark roared hysterically,

"I can't tell the difference! I really can't tell the difference!!!"

…

"Mr. Stark may just be too nervous and has not yet recovered from that anxious state. His brain is in a chaotic state and cannot distinguish between reality and dreams. Although this kind of case is quite rare here, We can recommend new treatment options…”

"Thank you very much. Please, doctors, please save him, no matter what the cost!"

No one noticed that a faint blue flashed across Tony Stark's pupils...
