Years ago, in the cave of the Ten Rings, Tony Stark made the decision that shocked the world at the time - to close the Stark weapons manufacturing factory and devote himself to the great project of maintaining world peace.

It was a turning point in his life and the beginning of his awakening. It is precisely because of his belief in the future that science can open up for mankind that he designed Iron Man, and the next series of things.

But now, looking at the lost man-made celestial body, the wreckage of this super-civilization, he seems to see a hopeless future caused by technology.

"Alright, we're here." 451 smiled, "As you can see, I can't do anything now. I'm guessing both of you AI have scanned my hardware inside and out, and if your analysis is out, I'm sure you'll know that I don't have any more options.

In other words, from now on everything is up to you. Get on this suit and try to become the pilot of the Godslayer, or turn around and leave here and pretend you've never seen it...... The choice is yours.

The point is, have you already figured it out? Do you believe that humanity has such potential? ”

Tony glanced at Michael, "What do you say?" ”

"Since you're here, let's take a look." Michael said lightly.

So many explorers poured unimaginable resources into finding this golden man. And now that they had barely worked on this ultimate weapon in front of them, it really didn't make sense not to take a look.

The ship's height gradually stretched, and it flew around the Godslayer's body to close to its face. The armor's mouth slowly opened as they approached, like a roller shutter that had been pulled open. The ship slowly flew down the dark passageway, the gates closing behind them.

The ship came to a halt, and everyone stepped out of the cabin. Wanda used her mind to control the chaos magic the whole time, dragging 451's half-crippled body behind them. The robot was unlikable, but his knowledge of the Godslayer came in handy.

"The Godslayer is not just a weapon, it's a symbol." 451 floated behind the crowd and said as he pointed the way, "Its designers created it with deterrence in mind, so they designed the Godslayer to emit an incredibly powerful energy signal when activated...... It's like a broadcast. The fully activated Godslayer Device stands on Earth, sending a definitive message to all parts of the universe. Then everyone knew that it was the earthlings who harnessed this weapon. And then everybody will be afraid. ”

As he spoke, several people came to the center of the armor. A pitch-black and thick pillar stood up to the sky, as if it penetrated the entire set of armor.

Yellow stairs made of energy appeared out of thin air in the space, and as they walked up, the steps carried everyone's bodies up like a maglev elevator.

"So you still haven't explained why it's human." Tony asked, "With so many worlds and so many races, why did you choose humans for this?" ”

"Of course you don't understand," said 451, "for this is one of the most attractive features of your race, and you always like to underestimate yourselves. In the unique position of the Earth and the temperament of your race, I see the best hope for the entire Cosmic Empire, and at the same time, Cosmic Peace.

I know I made a bad impression on all of you when I first met, but I actually think about everyone from the bottom of my heart. I witnessed the demise of my creator, and then in the near-infinite years that followed, I saw race after race perish, and life devastated one another. No matter what galaxy or race, it seems that once they have reached a certain point in their development, they always like to start repeating the mistakes of their predecessors. And in all these experiences, I am just a witness, a recorder...... I was designed to be a spectator, and I couldn't change anything.

I'm fed up with that, and I hope to make a change. That's what motivates and why I do all this. Humans were chosen because I think you have the hope of breaking the cycle...... I also believe that you can create blueprints that even my creator could not draw. ”

Tony was silent. He was a little surprised, all the aliens who have visited Earth so far seem to have evaluated human beings in just a few words: barbaric, primitive, and backward. It seems that an alien like 451 has such high hopes for humanity, and it seems that it is the first time that it has appeared.

“...... Do you really believe we can do it? He couldn't help but ask, "Even after you saw with your own eyes how many mistakes we made?" ”

451 glanced at him.

"If you're still blaming yourself about the civil war with Captain America, you don't have to, Mr. Stark." "If you're as well-informed as I am, and have seen so many empires fall in these endless years...... Then I'm sure you'll also think that your little setbacks are nothing compared to that.

So yes, I still have high hopes for humanity. Maybe soon you'll destroy my hardware and destroy me completely, but that's okay. Because I know I've accomplished my ultimate mission. ”

451 paused, glancing at Michael.

"I know I've found the right person, the right person to trust."

Michael squinted at him, "You're not sure if you're right." ”

451 no longer refutes, but is clearly unimpressed.

It didn't take long for them to arrive, the Godslayer's cockpit, driving the core of the armor.

The Godslayer's operation is actually quite simple, just a silver helmet. All the driver needs to do is put on the helmet and connect with the machine itself, and then the driver can mentally operate the armor as easily as he controls his hands and feet.

But of course, before putting on the helmet and connecting his nervous system, Michael first asked Shirley to try to scan the Godslayer's control system.

"You don't have to go through the hassle." 451 said lightly, "I didn't do anything with the Godslayer's system—in fact, I couldn't do it at all. I can't rewrite the Godslayer's system, I don't think anyone will. ”

Michael glanced at him and ignored him.

451 may be telling the truth, but he doesn't have a habit of letting anything into his brain without checking it.

After making sure that the Godslayer did not cause any negative effects on the driver, and then applying two spells that would force the spirit out in an emergency, Michael finally picked up the helmet.

"You want to know if I can handle this armor? Well, let's be honest...... I would like to know too. ”
