"Tony, Tony, Tony!"
A loud shout yanked Future Tony back from his endless thoughts.
He snapped back to reality and realized that everyone in the conference room was staring at him.
"What were you thinking? We've called your name so many times to wake you up."
Tony looked speechless.
"Am I going to get dementia in the future?"
"I was thinking about why our world doesn't have a Demon King."
Immediately, Future Tony spoke about everything that had happened in their world, leaving no details hidden.
The world had gone through many dangerous crises, each one bringing irreplaceable damage.
"Arming the world with artificial intelligence... this is definitely my style."
Tony stroked his chin, musing.
"You don't have mutants in your world?"
Charles quietly asked.
"I joined Hydra with Wanda and died under a bullet? That's way too slow, right?"
Pietro furrowed his brow.
"I fell in love with a robot you created? Am I insane in that world?"
Wanda's eyes widened, and her voice was filled with disbelief.
"Hydra in our world is already shattered." Pierce spoke slowly.
"You killed Hulk?"
Doctor Banner's gaze fixed on the Green Hulk.
"No, I just merged with Hulk."
The Green Hulk explained.
"What happened to Hulk's consciousness?"
"…"
"It disappeared. It hasn't shown up since then. So I really want to know, how did you two separate? I really don't want to keep this monstrous form."
After a long silence, Green Hulk finally expressed his feelings.
No matter how much he comforted himself, the appearance that was so different from normal people was always a symbol of failure in his heart.
"Roar! Hulk is not a monster!"
Hulk got angry, his body swelling up as he transformed.
He was no longer a mentally confused child.
The word "monster" was undoubtedly a grave insult to him.
"Hulk, calm down!"
Bronnski immediately transformed as well and easily restrained Hulk.
After going through countless battles in hell, he had adjusted a strengthening serum with Doctor Banner, which increased his physical strength.
Before Hulk's anger reached a certain level, Bronnski's strength was even greater than Hulk's.
"Humph!"
Hulk understood that this wasn't the place for fighting. He suppressed his anger and returned to his human form.
Facing Doctor Banner's expectant gaze, Doctor Banner knew that his future would likely resemble Green Hulk's.
"You can ask the Demon King."
After thinking for a while, Doctor Banner suggested.
Hearing this, Green Hulk immediately turned his gaze to Kuno, eager as he spoke.
"Demon King, please help me. I am also willing to serve you like Doctor Zola."
"Please lend us the gems. We desperately need them to save our world."
Future Tony quickly added.
Future Captain America and Ant-Man also nodded, their eyes filled with hope.
"Don't rush. I can lend you the gems. Helping you turn back into human form is also not impossible, but what will you offer in exchange?"
Kuno's gaze swept across the group, speaking slowly.
He wasn't going to help Tony from another universe for free.
"We are willing to become your subordinates."
Future Tony was the first to speak up. He quickly realized that this Demon King seemed to enjoy making deals.
And the only thing they could offer him right now was their own abilities.
"To be honest, among all of you, the only one I'm interested in is you, Tony Stark."
Captain America, Banner, and Ant-Man had already been accounted for.
Tony, though, had the potential value.
Kuno's hand appeared holding the Space, Mind, and Soul stones.
"But your value isn't enough for me to lend you all the stones."
"Bare-handed?"
Future Tony couldn't help but exclaim.
After all, each stone contained incredibly strong energy radiation, and even the lightest touch would instantly turn a regular person to ashes.
In some ways, this Demon King's physical strength was even stronger than vibranium.
"Three Infinity Stones."
Future Captain America stared intensely at the stones in Kuno's hands.
"Wait, that's four."
Kuno then shouted toward the ceiling, "Sorcerer, may I borrow the Time Stone?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a mysterious portal appeared in Kuno's palm, and a stone glowing with green light floated down, landing steadily on top of the other three stones.
"No way, he just got it so easily?"
Tony had just learned the immense power of the stones from Future Tony.
The Time Stone was now in the hands of the Supreme Sorcerer, and even under the immense pressure from Thanos, the Sorcerer had almost lost his life but never gave up the Time Stone.
(At this point, they still thought it was Strange.)
"Power of time."
Doctor Banner's eyes flashed with longing but quickly disappeared.
"Greed is not always good."
"What do you want?"
Future Tony asked, suppressing his anxiety and uncertainty. His voice was hoarse.
"The other two stones' ownership, the right to snap my fingers, and I want to go to your world."
"You agree to these three conditions, and I'll lend you the stones to snap your fingers."
Kuno extended three fingers slowly.
"We don't have extra Pym Particles. But we can all sign a contract with you and send over all the stones when the time comes."
Future Captain America's gaze was firm, his voice sincere.
Kuno smiled slightly, showing a meaningful expression.
"I have other ways to get there, no need for Pym Particles."
With that one sentence, he completely blocked off any chances of delay or evasion.
Green Hulk and Ant-Man fell silent.
Green Hulk had no room to argue, given that he needed Kuno's help.
Ant-Man knew that in this situation, he had no say in the matter, so saying anything would be pointless.
The three of them silently turned their gaze to Future Tony, who had become the key figure in deciding how this matter would unfold.
"…"
Future Tony's mind was in turmoil.
The other two stones were fine.
But the right to snap fingers and going to another world were too dangerous.
Although the Demon King in this world was a hero,
No one could guarantee that he wouldn't grow greedy after being tempted by another world.
Especially one who had just taken control of this world.
For a while, Tony found himself in a dilemma.
It wasn't even five minutes after saving the world, and now the Demon King could invade.
After a long time thinking, Tony slowly spoke.
"Can I have some time to think about it?"
"Of course. Actually, you have another option: you can go to another parallel universe and find other stones."
Kuno suggested.
