Chapter 311 Shocks Tony for a Whole Year
Tony knew he was probably not going to get better.
After learning that parallel universes truly exist, he watched hordes of Peter Parkers wandering around right under his nose every day, and he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if two versions of himself from different universes met.
The final conclusion was that it would never be as peaceful and tranquil as Peter Parker's life.
The clash between two brilliant yet rebellious minds is bound to lead the meeting to a disastrous outcome.
He had considered so many scenarios and made seven or eight contingency plans in his mind to ensure that he could refute his other self in such a situation.
But what no one expected was that their confrontation would skip the verbal sparring and instead begin and end directly in a physical manner.
Although they weren't locked in a dark room or had their entire Iron Man suit removed, the observation room inside the space carrier wasn't exactly a pleasant place.
This is essentially equivalent to being trapped in TuTu's trap.
Tony's earlier statement about a three-way trial was not an exaggeration at all, because there really were three people involved.
These three big shots are clearly not ordinary people, just by the aura they exude. Each one of them is a heavyweight.
There was a man with a face like a horse's, who claimed to be some kind of supreme sorcerer; a bald man in a wheelchair; and a cyborg version of himself.
"Say it!"
"I'll say it!"
Faced with another, uglier version of himself, Tony was speechless: "But at least you should start asking questions, right?"
"Also, you didn't do anything to that child, did you?"
Even in this situation, Tony was still concerned about Peter's safety:
"I'm warning you, if you dare do anything to that Spider-Boy, I'll—"
He and Spider-Man didn't come here to cause any trouble, so making things so tense is really making a mountain out of a molehill.
If Spider-Man were to have any mishaps, Tony would at least activate the Amozzo Core and unleash its full power to puncture a hole in the Helicarrier he was on!
Seeing that Tony was getting agitated, the Horse-faced Sorcerer Supreme waved his hand, and a portal swept across, revealing Spider-Man lying on the sofa, holding a game controller, in front of the four of them.
Peter Parker was a little stunned. After he was brought back, he wasn't thrown into some dark and gloomy dungeon. Instead, he was given unlimited iced cola and a young man with a Patrick Star decoration on his forehead to play with.
After the Sorcerer Supreme, Strange, explained why he had been summoned, Spider-Man raised the controller in his hand and pointed it at his playmate beside him:
"I'm fine, Mr. Stark. This is 'New Star,' and we're having a very pleasant conversation!"
With a whoosh, Doctor Strange cast a spell and sent Spider-Man and his companion back to the game room.
Before Peter could reconnect to the wireless controller, the new star quickly controlled his character Zangief and slapped Peter's Cammy to death.
Before Spider-Man could even cry foul, Nova started complaining about his earlier situation:
"Dude, I didn't expect you and Iron Man to be so close."
"Hey! Stop talking about Mr. Stark behind his back, that's not fair, that last round doesn't count!"
"This is so unfair!"
After confirming that Spider-Man was alright and being treated to good food, drinks, and entertainment, Tony became even more annoyed.
"That kid got an iced Coke and an XBO, what about me?"
Why is it that when it comes to him, there's nothing at all, and it turns into the FBI's interrogation procedures for criminals?
"Even the police know to give criminals a few donuts during interrogations!"
"Because everyone likes Spider-Man."
The speaker was the bald old man in the wheelchair. Although he had a kind face, Tony subconsciously felt that this immobile old man was the most creepy.
"I am Professor X, just call me Charles."
After saying this, Professor X pushed his wheelchair and turned to leave, seemingly unwilling to look at Tony even once more, leaving behind a final sentence:
"He wasn't lying, Iron Man."
This was clearly not said to Tony, but to another "Tony".
With Professor X's confirmation, Doctor Strange, who had been on guard to the side, also snapped his fingers, opening a portal to the Sanctum Sanctorum.
The Sorcerer Supreme is extremely busy and doesn't have much time to waste in this place, especially with someone like Iron Man.
Before leaving, Strange didn't forget to echo Professor X's earlier words:
"Yes, everyone likes Spider-Man—but nobody likes Tony Stark."
After Professor X and Doctor Strange left, only Tony Stark and Doctor Strange remained in the observation room.
After several minutes of silence, Tony finally lost the "Don't Speak" challenge to his cyborg self:
"Although I often offend people, dude, your interpersonal relationships are just too terrible."
The two who just left have completely proven this point. They looked at the cyborg Iron Man as if he were some kind of stinky dog shit, and their cooperation with him was purely out of a sense of duty.
"snort."
The cyborg Iron Man, who had already transformed himself beyond recognition, merely snorted coldly and did not refute this version of himself from a parallel universe.
Before we go any further, would you like to explain your outfit to me?
Tony gestured to his mechanical version of himself, then hesitated, saying, "You know what I mean~"
The cyborg Iron Man would never tolerate having the initiative in a conversation stolen, especially by another version of himself: "I'm the one asking you a question!"
Tony slapped his thigh in exasperation: "Then why don't you just ask!"
Why did he feel that this half-mechanical version of "himself" from another world had been inexplicably throwing tantrums ever since he met him?
It's no wonder Tony felt that way. If it were someone like Batman, he would have already figured out what kind of mood the cyborg Iron Man was going through, and could even give a whole psychological diagnosis report.
But Tony, who has had a smooth and successful life without ever suffering a major defeat, is the only one who cannot understand this complex emotion intertwined with regret and jealousy.
In this alternate world, Tony, controlling his mechanically supported, tattered body, surprisingly asks Spider-Man his first question:
"That child... you and Peter seem to get along quite well?"
"Not really, I haven't known Peter for very long!"
Only after Tony finished answering did he catch the unspoken meaning in the cyborg Tony's words: "What does 'not bad' mean?"
So Iron Man and Spider-Man in this parallel universe finally broke up?
The cyborg Tony nodded, confirming something: "So, you haven't had a 'civil war' yet."
"What does 'civil war' mean?" Completely bewildered, Tony realized he was starting to lose track of English. "Who fights whom in a civil war?"
"You, Iron Man, and Captain America's Civil War."
"What?!"
Compared to Spider-Man, Tony is even less familiar with Captain America. They haven't had any in-depth interactions yet, and their relationship is currently purely that of colleagues.
So much so that he could make up horrific jokes about the supposedly righteous and glorious captain behind his back without any psychological pressure:
"Why should I fight a civil war with that old popsicle?! Is he living a hundred years in the past and planning to revive slavery?"
The mere mention of the word "Civil War" triggered a kind of PTSD in Tony, and countless terrifying shadows of the past flashed through his eyes.
He lowered his head, his back to Tony, and muttered to himself, "So you didn't force Spider-Man to reveal his true identity behind the mask to the media? And you even caused his family to suffer cruel revenge?"
"Is what you're saying still English?"
Tony's CPU was already gradually overloaded and he could no longer keep up with the pace of the semi-mechanical Tony.
Unexpectedly, the memories in the cyborg Tony's mouth were still not over:
"Then you certainly didn't choose to prioritize the bigger picture, cover up the truth, and directly try to kill him when his loved ones were on the verge of death and came to you for help."
"ah?!"
Tony, who was sitting steadily in his chair, was so shocked by this 'story' that he almost fell to the floor on the spot.
What does it mean that Iron Man forced Spider-Man to reveal his identity and then chose to kill Spider-Man to cover up the truth?
These simple 26 letters of the English alphabet can actually be combined to form such niche phrases?
Dude, this isn't about whether or not you speak English!
Is what you're saying even human language?!
Just as the cyborg Iron Man was still lost in the past, a series of piercing alarms sounded from the space carrier serving as the command center.
Warning! Unauthorized space transfer detected!
The golden ring lit up, and Doctor Strange stepped through the portal again, appearing before the two Tonys.
He looked up at Tony, then nodded solemnly to the cyborg:
"It's confirmed, it's 'him' who's here."
