Shadow of the Beautiful World

The white light that filled the horizon illuminates from Tony Stark's eyes.

It's like a lifetime, no, many lifetimes.

He saw a lot of things in that light, about Merlin, about other people, about everyone, about the stars, and about beyond the stars.

Just like a traveler who has entered the treasure house of infinite knowledge, Tony greedily wants to remember all those pictures.

But that is clearly impossible.

Human memory is always limited, and even the highest wisdom among humans cannot memorize so much knowledge.

In the next moment, Tony opened his eyes suddenly.

He felt a pair of warm arms hugging from in front of him, still exuding the familiar smell of perfume.

Tony saw the ceiling.

The futuristic black and white ceiling is his favorite style. If he remembers correctly, he filled his villa with such decorations.

"Ok?"

The chaotic memory left Tony a little at a loss, as well as that strange and familiar feeling.

Immediately afterwards, an unbearable impulse was released, and then it was a piece of comfort, and Tony seemed to have the chaotic knowledge and memories before his eyes.

Of course this is just an illusion.

Miss Poz, who was lying next to Tony, was puffing up something, very dissatisfied.

The latter raised his head, covered his mouth, glared at Tony angrily, then turned around, picked up the tissue, and wiped his mouth.

She stood up straight, turned her back to Tony, put on her underwear, and whispered:

"I am going to Melbourne for a meeting today, and I may not be back in the evening. Don't forget to pick up Hope. Her school has arranged to visit the New York Museum today."

"Melbourne? Hope? Visit?"

Tony sat on the bed like a fool, repeating Miss Poz's words blankly.

This made the latter turn his head in confusion.

She felt that her husband had been acting abnormally since he woke up today.

Poz is very worried about Tony's mental state. After all, this guy has been studying some very strange things recently.

"Are you too tired?"

Miss Poz sat on the side of the bed tenderly and said to Tony:

"Do you want me to hire a psychiatrist for you?"

"Or, in a few days, let's take Hope with us on vacation? Cybertron has recently held the Mechanical Goddess Celebration. It is said to be very lively, and Hope also wants to go there."

"Wait, wait, I'm a bit messy."

Tony stretched out his hand and interrupted Miss Poz. He rubbed his forehead and combed his memories.

Very strange.

In Tony's mind, there are two memory lines at the same time, and it took him a few minutes to straighten out the relationship between the two.

The previous memory line stopped at the moment when he snapped his fingers in the light of the melting furnace of the universe, and he was overwhelmed by the endless light.

And in the second memory line, there was no incident of the arrival of the outside **** at all, and it came here peacefully all the way.

The most important thing is that there is no "Merlin" in the second timeline!

"What month is today?"

Tony raised his head and stared at Miss Poz. It was probably a memory recovery that caused Tony to return to the state of fighting blood on the battlefield of the stars. The bravery exuding from him made Miss Poz tremble with fear.

It's like a cat frightened.

She looked at Tony, who was in a big change, and she whispered:

"Today is, July 17, 2013..."

"2013? Has one year passed?"

Tony murmured to himself, his state made Miss Poz even more worried. She felt that it was really necessary to send Tony to a psychiatrist, or simply invite a wizard over.

Well, it's better to invite Dr. Strange.

He is both a wizard and a psychiatric surgeon, and Tony has a good relationship with the doctor.

"Uh, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just... I slept a little fuzzy and dreamed of some weird things."

Tony quickly noticed Poz's expression, he immediately calmed his wife and promised to pick up his daughter on time today.

Although Tony recovered his memory, he felt that he had never had a daughter...

After sending Poz away, Tony quickly came to the basement. Fortunately, he didn't seem to change the shape of the basement in the past 8 years, and even the position of his handy instruments did not change.

It's just that the technology has advanced a lot, making Tony feel at a loss for a while.

But he is a smart man after all, and he soon mastered this technology that was at least 20 years more advanced than in 2012.

"Inquire!"

Tony looked at the beating blue light curtain in front of him. He tried to calm himself down. He said:

"Raven!"

"Huh"

The first entry that appeared on the light curtain was a photo of a raven, a black bird.

Of course not this!

Tony quickly reviewed the information collected on the Internet, and his face became gloomy as he looked at it.

"Query, Merlin Riley!"

Tony threw another keyword.

This time I found a lot of information, but they were all guys with the same name and surname, and there was no slight thin face with the gentle smile that Tony remembered.

"No?"

Tony narrowed his eyes.

He felt that things had become a little more subtle now.

"There are Icarus, S.H.I.E.L.D., Sons of Hell, Ms. Carol, Aunt May, and even Riwen, Lorna, and Laura have three girls, but there is no Merlin..."

Tony rubbed his forehead and said:

"Without this most critical link, you can still be connected... Cut, who are you lie to!"

A smile appeared on Iron Man's face.

He was basically sure that Merlin should still be in this world, but in a strange way, he concealed his existence.

The "Ryley family" connected by the data stream is the best evidence.

If Merlin did not exist, the lives of these people would basically be impossible to overlap.

But judging from Miss Poz's previous reaction, she should have never heard of the name Merlin Riley.

What is going on here?

Everything exudes an abnormal feeling, which makes Tony fall into a lot of rethinking, but he has not forgotten the work he has to do, he has to pick up his daughter.

Little Hope...

Tony changed his clothes, and the image of a terrible little girl kept in his mind.

That is his daughter. Hope was born in 2008 and she is 5 years old this year.

But in fact, in the old memory line, until 2012, when the outer **** descended, Miss Poz was just pregnant.

In other words, the timeline has changed slightly, probably because Tony is the one who snapped his fingers, and the Infinite Gems distort his personal time.

Except for him, the entire world should have been reshaped back to the 2012 scene.

But because Tony, the butterfly that runs through the two timelines, **** its wings slightly, this new world has been changed a lot.

or...

This change has nothing to do with him, but the result of another force.

With this kind of philosophical question, Tony got on a private jet to New York, and he felt relieved that everything had changed, except for Harpy.

That fat bodyguard is still his best friend in this new timeline.

"Wow"

The silver Audi concept sports car parked on the street in front of the New York Museum, and Tony, wearing brown sunglasses, opened the door.

Holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, he drank with a straw while watching the bustling scenery on the street.

He is waiting for the end of his daughter's visit, probably less than 7 minutes.

"Hand over your wallet!"

A faint humming sounded into Tony's ears, and Iron Man turned his head and saw that in a dark alley not far from the museum, a few young people were surrounding a thin guy.

Ha, New York!

Even in the new world, this is a place where demons dance around.

Tony didn't intend to be nosy, but when he saw those young people who used malicious intentions, an unprovoked anger broke out in his heart.

"boom"

Tony threw the milk tea in his hand into the trash can, looked around, and then strode towards the dark alley.

"Hand over your wallet, bastard! Wouldn't it be better to let yourself be beaten?"

The airy street gangster threatened the thin student. He wielded a knife in his hand. The threat of this thing was far greater than its practicality.

Seeing that the thin student didn't intend to give in, a fierce light appeared in the eyes of this little bastard, and he had to use a knife to stab it.

"Snapped"

The little bastard's wrist was easily clasped by the metal hand armor, and then, a huge force struck, and the little **** easily hit the ground.

Tony, dressed in a steel suit, looked at the young people who were crying under his feet, and he said with an urn:

"You waste your precious life and allow yourself to degenerate into unworthy of mercy!"

"You have failed this new world! Everything you enjoy now is not something you were born to deserve, bastards!"

Tony's emotional explosion originated from the bottom of his heart.

This cannot be faked.

He stretched out his hand, lifted the panicked **** in the air, and slammed it against the wall, he yelled:

"If you don't learn to cherish your life anymore, then you don't need to own it..."

"Leave the resources to someone who is more worthwhile, don't let me see you on this street, go back to school, understand?"

Several punks were terrified.

They didn't expect that just grabbing some money would attract a superhero like Iron Man to step in.

They were so scared by the extremely violent Iron Man today, they didn't dare to resist, and they had to run away in despair.

Tony watched the gangsters lower their heads and leave. He took a deep breath. The intense emotions came and went quickly.

Tony put the battle suit back into the nano storage bracelet on his wrist, and he patted his cheek.

Obviously, my own mind is still stuck on the battlefield in the center of the universe, which is not good...

The anger of the old world cannot be brought into the new world.

This is a blasphemy for those victims.

"Why are you so irritable today? Tony."

As Tony was reviewing himself, a familiar voice rang behind him.

Tony turned his head in surprise, and saw an old man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, leaning on crutches, with white hair and spirits, looking at him with a smile.

Despite the dense wrinkles on his face, Tony still saw the familiar soul in those bright eyes.

"Steve!"

With sincere joy on Tony’s face, he took a few steps forward and held Steve’s wrist. He said:

"You...you really came back."

"what?"

Steve was a little overwhelmed by Tony's weird greeting. He gave Tony a weird look. He said:

"I never left, okay?"

"For more than a year, I have been living in Carter Manor, and my retirement life is very happy. I just made a batch of wine a few days ago, and I will ask you and Thor to taste it when it's finished. Don't come! "

"Tor...where is he now?"

Tony remembered the scene when the doomed Rune King fell. He shook his head and threw those sad memories into his mind. He asked:

"Is he still in New Asgard?"

"Did you drink too much today?"

Steve replied with dissatisfaction:

"New Asgard went back to the stars half a year ago, and the Asgardians rebuilt their kingdom on the site of God's Domain."

"Although there are still some Asgardians who choose to stay on Earth, there is no place in this world called New Asgard."

"As for Thor, isn't he always in Manhattan?"

"I just married Jane and Sif three months ago. The three of them live in harmony. I heard that he is about to have a baby."

"Alright alright."

The information revealed by Steve made Tony a little big head.

There was a mistake in his previous estimation. The world has not changed on the surface, and there have been too many internal changes.

Tony adjusted his thoughts, he looked around, lowered his voice, and said to Steve:

"Merlin, he..."

"Merlin?"

Hearing Tony mentioning the name, Steve blinked suspiciously. He said:

"Who is that?"

"Uh, I mean, Star Wars..."

"Damn it, Tony, you are absolutely abnormal today, have you forgotten? We all signed a non-disclosure agreement for the incident that happened last year, so you can't just say it!"

Steve interrupted Tony immediately, he lowered his voice and said:

"Even if you snap your fingers and save everyone back, it doesn't mean you have more freedom to take the top secret incident out and talk about it everywhere!"

"Alright alright."

Tony was a little confused by this series of unconventional messages.

He was about to ask Steve what happened last year, and then he saw a group of children pouring out of the New York Museum, and old Steve immediately put on a smile and waved at one of the beautiful little girls.

"father!"

The little girl hopped over to Steve, looked at Tony again, and greeted him politely:

"Hello, Uncle Tony, are you here to pick Hope? She's over there, look!"

Tony followed Sharon's fingers.

Sure enough, at the entrance of the museum, there was a child who was somewhat similar to him looking around. When he saw the child, Tony felt an indescribable tenderness in his heart.

He instinctively stepped forward and walked towards the child. Behind him, Steve carried his daughter on his back. He said to Tony:

"Tony, in 3 days, don't forget the big day, Doum and Wanda's wedding, you must not be late, you are the host."

Tony could no longer hear Steve's cry.

His heart and attention were all on his unfamiliar and familiar daughter. He walked up to Hope and knelt down. He looked at his daughter, and Hope Stark looked at his father.

She thought her father was a little strange today.

"I'll take you to eat pizza, okay?"

Tony held back for a long time before uttering these words, and the result immediately attracted Hope's cheers. She held her father's arm and screamed:

"Go to Mick's restaurant! I want to eat seafood pizza! Eat two!"

"Okay, eat two."

Tony happily put his daughter around his neck and turned to his sports car.

But when he turned his head, the time of the whole world stopped at this moment.

Except that Tony and Hope were able to move, everything stopped, even the movement of atoms in the air stopped.

Tony saw that the familiar figure was sitting in the co-pilot of his sports car.

Merlin was holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, he looked back lazily, holding a straw, looking at Tony.

This guy has eyes like the reflection of stars.

He said to Tony:

"Hi, buddy... long time no see."

"I heard, are you looking for me?"
