Tony Stark once never believed in fate, nor did he believe that someone like him could have a destined "old enemy".

He believes that fate is in his own hands, and he is convinced that his life so far has been built by himself. But just recently, he had been slightly shaken.

Lord Man and Hou Yinsen's son joined forces to force him to believe that Iron Man was not his own creation...... At least that's not all. He once believed that Iron Man was an image cast on a lie, a deception, a mistake, all of which made everything he fought for the rest of his life suddenly become a joke.

In retrospect, Tony thinks he must have had a head show to believe the, and thankfully someone stepped up in time to help him come to his senses (though he was a little upset that he owed the man recognition for it) and made him re-realize.

"You're disgusting to me, Stark!" Master Man stepped on the reactor on his chest and roared loudly, "If I hadn't ordered your life to be spared, you would have been a ghost under your dear Uncle Obadai by now!" And if I hadn't ordered you to be robbed in that cave, you wouldn't have had such a great creation as Iron Man in your life! ”

The force under his feet increased, and the armor plate he stepped on "clicked", and the arc-shaped reactor let out a mournful sound that seemed to be on the verge of shattering.

"I gave you this opportunity!" Lord Man howled like madness, "What are you still doing without me?" Drinking, gambling, movie stardom? You're not at all different from those dandies who drink too much! ”

“...... yes," Tony said with difficulty, managing to recover the repulsive energy circuits that had been briefly interrupted. He raised his right hand towards Lord Man, "You also thoughtfully sent a piece of shrapnel to my heart, which almost made me half paralyzed." ”

The repulsive laser was fired, and the man leaned back, but he still didn't completely avoid it. The beam struck his pointed jaw, sending him back with a somersault and a tumbling ground.

Tony gasped twice and calmed his breath. He stood up, pointed his repulsion cannon at Lord Man, and said, "You are just another evil careerist, another name that is about to be added to the list of super criminals defeated by Iron Man. When I defeat you, the name Man-sama will be insignificant, and there is nothing special about it. And me? It doesn't matter what kind of person I become, I chose my own path, I chose to be Iron Man. Ginsen may have provided me with the opportunity and motivation, and may have helped me tremendously in the process...... But that's about it. It was me who became Iron Man, and I have nothing to do with Ginmori...... Of course, it has nothing to do with you. ”

The man-man's figure twisted and jumped up like a spring. He tore off the robe on his upper body, and his body was like a swimming water snake close to him. His fingers lit up, and his fists were wrapped in a vast burst of colored flames. Tony's house reactor is running at full power, and the repulsive energy is fed into the gauntlet, and the force field is conjured up around the armor. The heavy fist of red gold blasted out, like a golden electric fan tearing through space, and it collided with the fist of the man.

The forces collided, and the three reactors operated at full power, and the repulsive energy and the power of the Ring clashed fiercely, forming a rotating energy storm. The turbulence danced like the blades of a laser, and the flesh of the man as solid as steel was cut and broken, and red blood splattered out of the wound. Iron Man's armor was also constantly hit by turbulence, and the monitor popped up with collision and damage alarms.

"Is that the pretty thing you used to fool yourself, Stark?" Master Man raised his voice, "You're a hero in your bones?" Do you want to deny all the blood on your hands over the years? Delusions don't change who you are, Stark. It is impossible for people to change, and anyone who is alive must eventually accept himself! And you, you're a murderer at heart, and you're destined to create something that takes your life. Think of Dr. Hou Yinsen's hometown! You've seen that town with your own eyes, you've seen the flames of war burning there. Tell me, whose name is written on the missile weapons that destroyed the homes of the villagers and destroyed the children's skins? ”

At the same time as Lord Man roared, a certain magic ring in his hand seemed to be activated. A strange light lit up in the middle of the battle, bypassing the armor defenses in a strange way and directly invading Iron Man's system...... The target is Tony's brain.

In that instant, the image was displayed in Tony's mind as if it were a real-time projection. The images in the depths of his memory were pulled out by an invisible force and replaced in his mind as clearly as an old movie. He saw Hou Yinsen covered in blood, and saw him close his eyes in satisfaction and entrust his last hope to himself. Then he saw the town in Ginmori's hometown, the bullets that were raging in the flames of war, the smoke that blackened the town, and the children with broken legs crawling on the ground. He also saw only half of the missile shell left on the ground, with Stark's name clearly written on it.

He knew that this was a picture that Lord Manchu had forced him to see with some special ability, intending to disturb his mind. But at the same time, he also knew that it was all true—that he had seen and experienced it with his own eyes.

"Look at this, look at all of this!" Lord Man roared, and another punch struck. This time it hit Tony's left chest plate directly, causing his armor to dent in and spark out.

"Looking at these people, can you still say that you are different from me?" He confronted this, and his fist wrapped in light swung out more quickly, yelling frantically, "You think everything you've done has made you a hero? No! You haven't changed anything at all. Why do you think Dr. Hou Yinsen put that chip on you? Because he never trusted you, because he knew you would go back to your old job! Look at the present, look at the suit you're wearing...... You keep saying you'll never touch a weapon again, but you've single-handedly created the most perfect weapon of your life! ”

Syllable!

The palm of steel caught his heavy punch. The power of the Ring shattered the armor shell into shape, and the repulsive cannon outlet in the palm of his hand seemed to be burned. Tony caught the punch anyway, and his jet boots sank into the floor and slipped back, but he was still gritty to hold on.

The armor of steel raised its head, and the helmet eyes stared straight at the man. In an instant, a gaze as sharp as a knife and extremely tenacious penetrated into the heart of the man through the electronic vision sensor.

"Perhaps. If the Iron Man armor is not on me, but on you, it may indeed be the worst invention ever...... But! ”

With a flick of his palm, he swung the man's fist to the side. The reactor in front of his chest had already been charged, and the beam of light was like an artillery bombardment, hitting the adult's chest and blasting him far away.

"Iron Man was never a piece of equipment, a piece of armor, a bastard." He said coldly, "Iron Man is me, whether you are convinced or not, this is the person I am destined to become." ”
