Darkness enveloped the entire control room, the flickering of the holographic projection
abruptly stopped, and the last image seemed to freeze there. Tony Digital did not show
what happened afterward.
However, Ian couldn't care less about the history of the Marvel Universe at this point.
He was eyeing the potential abilities that the Sentinel's blood might grant, and he really
did everything he could to relentlessly pursue Tony.
"Just touch it... Can you help me dissect the Sentinel's corpse? It's okay if you can't,
just let me touch his hemorrhoids, I bet he has more than one!"
"I'll do whatever you want afterward!" If Ian hadn't known that Digital Tony didn't
have a physical body, he would have shamelessly clung to Tony like an octopus.
no way.
Who can resist the temptation of a sentry?
Even the All‑Round Man, which he had previously envied, didn't smell as good as the
Sentry! Of course, it would be best if he could also get his hands on the All‑Round Man. Ian
firmly believed that Homelander + All‑Round Man + Sentry would definitely allow him to
truly integrate into the family.
Perhaps this will also allow his father to experience what it feels like to have his son
chasing after him while Superman flies ahead. I believe the father will be gratified that his
child has finally grown up!
The filial son thought to himself.
My longing grew stronger.
"How about this? I'll have my good friend, the Abyss Demon Barrel, kowtow to you
twice. If you still think that's not enough, I can ask my two older brothers when I get back."
"They love me very much, and I love them too, so I have to put a soft cushion under
their knees when they kowtow." He even started to negotiate and make deals like others.
"..."
The projection of Digital Tony couldn't help but twitch at the corner of its mouth upon
seeing this scene. "A part of Deadpool and a part of Peter Parker would probably like you."
He couldn't help but sigh.
"Deadpool and Peter are not important to me. I just hope you can like me too... Of
course, it can only be the purest kind of liking that an adult has for a child."
"We can't build some kind of island for young boys and drag me there." Ian used
the witty banter he'd learned from Madison, but after a brief pause, he added an
emphasis.
His tone suggested slight unease.
"?????"
Digital Tony looked at his clothes, which weren't priest's robes either. He couldn't
quite understand Ian's thought process, and in the end, he could only sigh helplessly and
speak softly.
"This will take some time."
It is clear.
Digital Tony agreed to Ian's request.
Praise be to Tony the Multiverse!
Ian was overjoyed and expressed his heartfelt gratitude. He also confirmed something
from Tony's answer: it wasn't just the Hulk and Homelander's bodies that were perfectly
preserved. Others might think Ian's way of thinking was abnormal, but he had always
simply been someone with his own ideas.
These ideas usually result in a win‑win situation, and sure enough, Ian won twice
more, even managing to ask, "Where are all these bodies placed?"
Don't get me wrong, this isn't about mice trying to sneak into a rice jar; it's about how
some treasures truly shouldn't be buried.
"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 human too," Digital Tony said 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
