Chapter 113: Tony
"Your brain circuits can be really unexpected." Tony shook his head helplessly.
"I'm scared, Lee, I feel the fear!"
Although Tony tried to speak in a calm tone, Li Mo heard a tremor in his voice.
"Captain, do you want to tow you back now?" Amir asked abruptly over the intercom.
"We'll stay a little longer, and you guys go and see if there's any oil and water in the vicinity." After Li Mo gave an order, the McQueen quickly flew into the distance.
"Tony, we're going home, Thanos is scary, but... Belch... At least not looking for trouble for now. Li Mo scratched his head and didn't know what to say.
"Tentacle monster, what kind of person do I think I am?" Tony asked, looking ahead.
"Great inventor, playboy, poisonous tongue expert, megalomaniac..."
"That was before!"
"The guy who the cover girl of Playboy magazine all year?"
"Actually, there was a month... Shut up! Can you be serious? β
"Okay Tony, I know what you're trying to say." Li Mo shook his head, "There will always be all kinds of things happening in this world, just be worthy of your heart." β
"I can't do it." Tony shook his head and muttered with a little reminiscence, "After escaping Afghanistan, the psychiatrist diagnosed me with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I disagreed and made a small sarcasm at him, but then I discovered my own anomaly. β
"I had to drink all night to get to sleep, and I felt safe in my steel armor. On the surface, I was actually scared all the time. After becoming Iron Man, my fear deepened, and I was more afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect what I wanted to protect than I was about dying. And this fear exploded in full swing during the Battle of New York. The Iron Armor I've always prided myself on didn't help me take control. β
"Do you know how desperate I was when I rushed at the Zetarians with a nuclear bomb?" Tony's fists clenched.
"Okay Tony, it's all over." Li Mo's expression also became serious, and he said comfortingly: "You don't have to take everything on, after returning to Earth, we will have a good time playing crazy for a few days, it's not a big deal." β
"I used to think the same way, but I found myself unable to do it." Tony had a look of pain on his face, "After this space trip, I have learned more knowledge and felt more fear. β
He pointed to the ruins of the city in front of him, "To be honest, this terrible sight in front of me made me feel a deeper fear. No matter how powerful a civilization is, in the deep universe, it will be extinguished like a small spark without paying attention. β
"Human civilization is too fragile compared to other extraterrestrial civilizations."
"Where do we go in the future?"
"How do you deal with a bigger crisis?"
"How can we protect ourselves?"
"The more I know, the more scared I get!"
Looking at Tony in pain in front of him, Li Mo shook his head helplessly: "I used to envy your super high IQ and knowledge, but now I don't have it at all." I don't know if this knowledge is a blessing or a curse from heaven. β
Then, neither of them spoke, quietly looking at the post-apocalyptic ruins in front of them.
A thunderstorm in the distant clouds suddenly woke up the two, Tony slowly stood up, looked around, and his expression gradually became resolute, "Tentacle monster, there is something that needs your cooperation." β
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Li Mo replied.
"I know you planned to sneak back to Earth quietly, but I want us to show up in the open, and better let the world know that we've come back from the universe." Tony said earnestly.
"Why? Do you know the virtues of those government agencies..."Li Mo asked suspiciously.
"I know, so I'm sorry. If something goes wrong, I'll face it with you. Tony said solemnly: "If we go back quietly, many things will continue to be hidden by the government and organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. β
"My previous thoughts, like S.H.I.E.L.D., were to hide everything from the people in order to protect them and let them live happily and ignorantly. But I feel that some things need to change, fear comes from the unknown, and human beings need to open their eyes and re-understand the universe. β
"We are not a powerful advanced civilization, we are a weak group in the universe. Did you know that the Zetarians are not the first, we have already suffered an invasion in the nineties, and luckily there was a powerful hero at that time. β
"I used to be arrogant and thought I could handle everything, but this scene in front of me alerted me. Superheroes are not omnipotent, only by uniting the wisdom of all mankind can we survive and thrive in this universe. β
"I don't want to admit it, but I'm in my 40s, and my body functions will gradually deteriorate. My movements will be sluggish, and my mind will gradually become less flexible. I hope to spread some knowledge slowly. I believe that when I grow old, there will be more young people stronger than me who will stand up and defend our planet! β
In the apocalyptic ruins of Titan, Tony Stark's voice was extremely firm, and Li Mo seemed to have reacquainted himself with this tsundere guy, so that the scene in front of him was still clearly imprinted in his mind many years later.
"Wow." Li Mo swallowed his saliva, "The way you speak so seriously is really a bit unaccustomed to me, why don't you sign me first!" β
"Can you be serious?" Tony is a little helpless, is this guy sent by God to punish him?
"Okay." Li Mo's expression also became serious, "Tony, what kind of person do you think I am?" β
"I like to pretend to be a ghost, cheeky, vulgar, and talkative..."
"That was before!"
"3PO, no, Oscar's man?"
βshitοΌ Can you talk properly? β
"Okay, tentacle monsters." Tony smiled, "Whatever you are, all I know is that you're my friend, a friend who is willing to cross most of the galaxy to save me, and that's enough." β
"Ok, count yourself smart. I'm not really interested in your great thoughts, but as a friend, I'll definitely support you. Li Mo shrugged.
"I do have a lot of faults, and I don't like to get into trouble, but it would be a mistake to think I'm scared."
"You just have to do it, those people and organizations who are spying on my stuff can come if they want, and I'll let them know."
"Lao Tzu is a mixed universe!"
β¦β¦
The McQueen broke through Titan's atmosphere and headed for Earth quickly.
Li Mo sat on the captain's seat, waving and playing with the Psychic Scepter, and said to Cora: "Don't worry, I have already mastered how to use this thing, and as many people as they come, they will become our subordinates." β
Just now, Cora's Quantum Celestial News received another reminder letter from Sovereign, and the people who came to review her had already started on their way, asking her to find a place to meet, which scared Cora a lot.
Li Mo had already planned for this matter, and said to Cora: "Tell them to wait for us in Asgard, with the Space Gem, the Rainbow Bridge must have been repaired by this time, and with my relationship with Thor, we can go back and forth in minutes." β
Tony looked at the Mind Scepter in Li Mo's hand and couldn't help frowning: "According to what you said, it should be inlaid with a Mind Gem." You and I have described so many dangers, but are you sure you can take care of it? Isn't Thanos collecting it? β
"I know." Li Mo reluctantly glanced at the Mind Scepter, "But I haven't found anything abnormal at the moment, and this thing is really easy to use." It is needed against the Sovereigns. Rest assured, if anything is wrong, I will immediately take it to Kama Taj as an apprenticeship to the Ancient One. β
"You just have to know what you know." Tony shrugged.
Yes, the Spiritual Scepter had already arrived in Li Mo's hands. With his character, how could he let go of the things that were easy to take. As for whether Ultron and Vision will appear, who cares about him...
Soon, the aqua-blue earth appeared in front of everyone's eyes, like a beautiful blue gem hanging in the starry sky. The sun was on her oblique side, and because there was no atmosphere to block it, the sun's light did not spread from the middle to the sides as it did on Earth, but concentrated into a blinding white bright spot.
"Captain Li Mo, the planetary probe has detected a city on the far side of the moon that is isolated by an energy shield." McQueen's voice suddenly rang out.
"I know that there are accounts of the Inhuman city of Atthilan, Asgard. There is no need to disturb them. Li Mo shrugged.
"Of course." Tony agreed, "Let's wait until they're willing to reach us." β
The McQueen did not become invisible this time, and appeared in extraterrestrial space with a swagger. Soon, they were spotted by several space observatories.
In the aftermath of the Battle of New York, governments quickly raised their vigilance, quickly deployed their troops, and began gathering information.
The International Space Station (ISS) passed just below the McQueen, and the astronauts frantically filmed the McQueen in horror, and then sent the picture information back to Earth.
At this time, just eight months after the end of the Battle of New York, the McQueen's formidable combat capabilities remained in the classified files of various intelligence agencies.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Chief Nick. Fury was also the first to get the news. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently in a state of constant dismemberment, he still has his own sources.
Soon, he was notified to begin being questioned by the World Security Council.
"Is this the ship?" A council member asked.
Nick. Fury looked at it for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If this is not a standard spaceship, yes, this is the spaceship of the tentacle man Li Mo." β
"And what is your assessment of its danger?" Another council member asked.
"Danger? Its defense and attack power are extremely strong, and judging by the performance of the Battle of New York, the armed forces on Earth pose no threat to it at all. It's not dangerous, though, because it's the superhero Li Mo's spaceship. Nick Fury replied.
"No, we meanβ" Another council member was about to speak when Nick Fury interrupted him.
"I know what you mean, but the only thing I care about is that our hero is home." Nick Fury said expressionlessly.
"Also, a friendly reminder to you." Nick Fury had a strange smile on his face.
"Don't mess with Li Mo!"
