Iron Man is a weapon. "That's my biggest nightmare, and it's probably a reality that's long gone." No matter how much I deny it, no matter what I do, I can't change the established reality. ”

He lowered his head and scratched at his neatly groomed hair wearily.

Michael looked at him indifferently for a moment, then said lightly, "Maybe." But I also have a little bit of my own opinion about the three nightmares you mentioned. You're so arrogant, Stark, so arrogant that it's almost in your bones, and you don't even realize it. ”

"Huh?" Tony was stunned and looked at him suspiciously, a little confused.

"You may have subconsciously missed one of your nightmares. A nightmare that may be the most terrifying thing for you, but that you subconsciously ignore," says Michael, "Your fourth nightmare—a brand new Iron Man armor that can crush any previous version of it, is born, and the problem is ...... You are not the one who created it. ”

Tony was subconsciously stunned, he opened his mouth, didn't say a word for a long time, and then closed his mouth again.

yes, why does he think that Iron Man is his prerogative?

Even if it weren't him, it would be someone else, maybe ten or fifty years from now, sooner or later someone will develop a similar technology. But at that point, will that person use the technology for superhero careers like he did? Or will he (or she) decide to make a lot of money with this technology and not care about its impact on the world?

Or worse, the technology will be in the possession of some unscrupulous people. On the bright side, there may just be another ordinary supervillain in the world. On the worse side, there might be one more conqueror and careerist in the world – and it's hard for Tony himself to imagine what it would be like if he wanted to conquer the world on a whim one day.

"Anyone could invent Iron Man technology, and that person gets the privilege of giving meaning to that technology. It can be a murder weapon, it can be a war machine. But at best, it can also be a guardian. Michael said lightly, "Or, let's just say that...... Ask those who have been saved by you, who have been saved by Iron Man, and those who yearn for you and worship you, and ask them all...... See if they care, Iron Man was just born out of a bunch of lies? ”

Tony closed his eyes.

yes, since when did he start caring about this kind of thing?

He's Iron Man, and everything he does is his own choice, and that's enough. No one can define his life, not even Hou Yinsen himself crawling out of the grave.

Iron Man isn't a weapon, just as it's never just a set of armor. It's not just about technology, it's about the person wearing that armor.

Thinking of this, Tony suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly again.

It's funny to be confused by such an obvious thing. For a moment, he even really thought about giving up everything. The irony is that the person who leads him to the right answer is a terrorist, at least by definition.

And he didn't even know who the Black Knight was now.

“...... Thank you. Tony said seriously, "Although this does not affect the current antagonistic relationship between you and me, from a personal point of view, I owe you this time." ”

Michael was noncommittal. He never paid attention to their so-called "antagonistic relationship", and said it purely because he admired Tony for the person he couldn't become—a hero, nothing more.

"That biomagnetic device," Michael continued calmly, "I can help you get it out." ”

"No need." Tony shook his head. Although he instinctively trusted the Black Knight, reason told him that it was not a wise choice to let this dangerous guy who had never even seen his real face touch his head.

Michael only mentioned it casually, and since the other party refused him, he was not reluctant, but only reminded: "Then it's up to you, Mr. Stark." But I still have to warn that there are probably few people in the world who have the ability to remove it except me. Believe it or not, Aegis can't do it, and neither can your own technology. After all these years, it has become ingrained in your brain like a weed, and the consequences of forcible operation will tear out half of your brain. ”

"But I have a desperate ......"

"Yes, I haven't forgotten, I know you're in a desperate situation." "But you have to know that desperation is not a panacea. It heals most wounds, but only if it's based on the modification of a nerve region in the brain. In other words, in order to have a self-healing effect in a desperate situation, it is necessary to have a healthy brain. If you do this surgery, your desperate system will be scrapped as well. ”

"Well, thanks for the reminder. But you just killed the kid - no blame, but that means the receiver has lost its source, right? Theoretically, it's scrapped. ”

"Only a transmitter that can emit a specific signal can activate this device, so yes, it is logically out of function. In addition, if you do your research, I believe it will not be difficult for you to find a technical means to permanently block it. Michael said, pausing, "If you're not going to take this thing off." ”

"Keep it, keep it." Tony sneered with a look of remembrance, "Anyway, that's all Ginmori left me, so it's a souvenir." ”

He shook his head and said, "So, can I go now?" ”

"Of course, I said you can leave whenever you want."

Michael said, taking a step back and raising his hand in a circle. Flying sparks sliced through the circular spell portal in space, and Stark's lab at the other end of the door.

Tony's face twitched. He admits that for a moment he really thought that if he was asked to leave the base like this, he would be able to find out the address of this place by saying anything...... But sure enough, he still thought too much. Hand rub any door to find out?

"For your own sake, I still have to warn you," Michael said before Tony left, "and while a desperate situation can heal most of your wounds, it can't immediately restore your paralyzing and tired nervous system. If you want to go back to the trouble of the Manchurians, it's best to wait until you recover a little. ”

Tony paused for a moment.

"Thanks, I'll remember."

With that, he disappeared to the other end of the portal.

The next moment after Tony left, Shirley's voice rang out, "So do you think he'll be obedient?" ”

"If he does, he's not Stark." Michael said indifferently, "But that's fine." Let's see how it goes. ”
