The Godslayer, the most perfect weapon ever crafted by a long-extinct race, is said to be easy to destroy even gods. But with the passing of the race that created it, the ultimate weapon became a mere legend, something that could not even be proven to be real. Countless centuries have passed, and successive explorers from various top civilizations have tried to find out the whereabouts of this armor, but nothing has been heard from them.

Until now, Tony Stark has personally admitted in front of several people that he once sat in the cockpit of the Godslayer.

When Tony said this with a strange expression, Michael did suspect for a moment that he had misheard.

"What did you say?"

"I said the 'Godslayer,'" Tony repeated, "and I used to sit in the cockpit and touch the steering wheel...... If that helmet could be considered a steering wheel. But to be precise, I didn't drive it, because it didn't move at all. ”

Michael frowned. This isn't just any Iron Man suit, they're talking about a weapon that is rumored to have ended the age of the gods, though it can't be proven. He glanced at 451, who was slumped next to him, and the robot didn't react, and it seemed that what Tony said was indeed true.

At this point, 451 slowly raised his head.

"I've explained the ins and outs of the matter to Mr. Stark." 451 said, "But I don't mind re-explaining it from the beginning. It's about the birth of Mr. Stark, the origin of Iron Man...... It's also about his family. ”

Wanda cast a surprised glance at Tony, who just crossed his arms and didn't react, as if he had accepted the facts.

"Let me start at the beginning." 451 struggled to prop himself up, leaned against the wall, and said, "Actually, I have known Mr. Stark's parents for a long time, and I knew Howard Stark and Maria Stark long before he was born. To be precise, they should have found me.

In fact, as a recording robot, my system had some unknown failure at that time. According to the original design of the Rommulians, the recording robot will have its memory emptied after a certain period of time, its memories will be reset, and all data will be uploaded into the Rommulon database. But I ...... There were some glitches. I couldn't clear my memory, and there was a conflict in the internal system, which caused an external failure. So I had to crash-land on the planet closest to me at the time...... That is, on Earth.

It was Howard and Maria Stark who helped me at the time. ”

Listening to the robot tell the story, it was as if watching the dusty pages of a book be slowly revealed. An ancient mystery is gradually emerging, and a truth hidden by time is being revealed.

"At that time, the Starks were struggling with fertility." 451 continued, "Even though Howard Stark was one of the most wealthy and powerful people in your world at the time, it wasn't enough to help solve the biggest problem you faced. Howard Stark tried whatever he could think of, asking for help from the best experts and investing a lot of money in developing some cutting-edge technology...... But nothing was gained.

In your human parlance, it's as if they were cursed, and they weren't destined to have children of their own. But it seems to me that this is actually some kind of arrangement in the dark, because their time has not yet come. The Howards Starks raised children who were destined to change the world—not just theirs, but all of them. ”

The story is getting closer to the truth, and the connection between it and Tony Stark is beginning to become apparent. Wanda couldn't see Tony's expression through the helmet, but she could feel the emotion—she could feel Tony getting anxious, just like anyone would become when they heard their supposed self-worth denied.

"Maybe you've already guessed it...... Yes, the last and most crucial part of the story, I appeared. "I solved the problem for them, and I gave the Starks the children they wanted." It was a deal – I told them I needed to create a genius, a hero, someone who could lead Earth into a new era and make a big difference to the universe.

I know it's a huge stack of chips and anyone needs to think about it. Because that means that their child will be different from birth, he is destined to carry a heavier burden than anyone else, and one day he must accept his destiny and become the person he must become. Not every parent will be ruthless in making such a choice for their children.

But I knew Howard Stark would, because he had a hero in his bones — I could see that. The couple discussed this for a long time, but in the end, as I expected, agreed to the conditions. So using the technology of the Rommulon people, I have created the most extraordinary human baby ever created - he will have an extraordinary intelligence, he will have an unprecedented affinity for computer engineering and mechanics, and he will undoubtedly become the best of the human race. And more importantly, the kid is destined to have a natural preference for exoskeleton armor in the future, and he will definitely design excellent armor that is ahead of his time, because this is the person I want him to become. ”

"I see." Listening to the robot at this point, Michael has already guessed eighty percent of what is happening. He looked down at 451 and asked slowly, "So, you found the exact location of the set of 'Godslayers' left behind by your master, but you couldn't make it move, did you?" Again, I'm guessing, the key you're missing is the driver, right? You need to have a driver who can make that suit of armor move. ”

451 did not deny it, and at this point it did seem pointless to deny it. He nodded mechanically, "Exactly. I'm the last person in the universe to know where the Godslayer is, but I've been able to get this armor to move after years of searching almost every world in the universe. As you can imagine, a set of armor like the 'Godslayer' is of course extremely demanding on the driver. It not only requires the driver to have superb reflexes and driving skills, but also has strict requirements for the driver's own spirit and body.

I've searched almost every galaxy over the years, but none of them fit the bill. That's why I decided to create a driver who fits the criteria myself. ”

"And that person is Tony Stark," Michael nodded, "and you want to say that's what Iron Man really means." ”

"No, that's what I thought, Black Knight." 451 looked at him and said meaningfully, "But now, I've changed my mind. Now I think that person should be you, or rather...... I think there's a good chance you're the real son of Mr. and Mrs. Stark. ”
