After holding back for so long, Tony finally waited for his moment to fight back. Iron Man's armor was firing at full power, destroying all remaining energy projections of the robot. He rushed all the way to 451, the concussive blast cannon on his left arm destroyed the defensive shield on 451's body, and the repulsion cannon in his right palm hit the red heart and blasted the robot away.

Michael stepped aside and stopped shooting, letting Tony enjoy his few seconds of counter-killing.

SCP-451 is still trying to fight back with features that are clearly not designed for combat use, but to little avail. The repulsion cannon blew up the deck of the Hu on his chest, revealing a large number of broken circuits. A fiery red cutting laser slashed off the robot's arm like a wielding lightsaber, and the silver arm was tossed aside by inertia, and arcs crackled at the fracture.

451 tried to pull away, and he spewed blue energy from the soles of his feet to pull him up, but the metal knife severed his right foot along with the thruster in the same instant. The robot lost its balance and its body was planted in a half-circle in the air. Iron Man threw out his palms together, and two powerful repulsion cannons blasted him seven or eight meters into the air, slamming into the inner wall of the cabin, and all parts of his body were seriously damaged. Now let alone fighting, it is almost impossible for this robot to move even half a meter.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time." Tony stepped on the robot's mangled body, the repulsion cannon aimed at his iron head, "Maybe I should blast your thing open and see what's in there." ”

"Stark." Michael grabbed his wrist, "Almost, we still have questions." ”

The Rommulon machine had ordered a bounty hunter to bring Michael here from a distance of millions of light-years. If Michael remembered correctly, he was pretty sure he and this guy had never met. Or rather, they don't even have the slightest intersection at all.

But 451 wanted him by name, and he had to know why.

Convinced that 451 was completely incapacitated and the hacking component was completely paralyzed, Michael recast the spell to reactivate the armor and the ossicles in Shirley's body. A few seconds later, Shirley re-established a connection with them on the main server on Earth, and the blue-haired girl opened her bright eyes and quickly looked around to get information about the scene.

Sweeping her gaze over 451, which was already in a semi-scrapped state, Shirley showed a look of understanding and turned to Michael: "So, it looks like you've solved the problem, sir?" ”

"Sort of, just figured out the parts that need to be done." Michael said lightly, "But we still have some questions to ask." ”

"Understood." Shirley nodded thoughtfully, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, I may have done something I shouldn't have done before, you won't ......"

Michael looked at her seriously: "Of course I'm angry, very angry. This proves that your design is still flawed, and I've decided to dispose of your console in a scrap plant as soon as I return to Earth. ”

Shirley grinned, "Sir, you know I can read all of your physical readings through the armor, right?" I know when you're lying. ”

Michael shrugged: "Okay, that might mean I won't scrap you yet." But next time, I'll consider selling you to Stark. ”

Tony let out an "ah" and became instantly interested: "Really? How much do you offer now. ”

He knew that Shirley was probably the most powerful artificial intelligence on the planet, and Tony, who was also a software engineer, was quite interested in her system. If Michael's price was acceptable, he would have bought it.

Shirley glanced at Tony, blinked, seemed to think for a moment, and then lowered her head and admitted her mistake to her master: "Okay, I was wrong sir." If there's a next time I'll throw myself in the recycle bin, just don't sell me to him, okay? ”

Tony was upset. What does that mean? Does it mean that it is better to scrap it than to follow me?

Tony thought that he wasn't too old at this time, and his charm shouldn't be discounted too much, why did he even despise himself now?

"Don't be discouraged, sir." Friday cheered up the boss in time, "You're still quite charming." ”

"Thanks, Friday." Tony said depressedly, "But why do I still feel like I can't lift my energy?" ”

"We can go back and talk about AI slowly," Michael said of termination, looking down at 451, which was no longer a threat at all, "Now, it's time to talk." The rules are simple, we ask questions, you answer. ”

But before the robot could speak, Tony Stark spoke for him: "Uh...... In fact, I know what this robot wants to do. ”

Everyone's eyes shifted to Stark: "Oh? ”

"Well, like I said, this robot is a lunatic...... But he is indeed a capable madman. He has an almost pathological paranoia about the earth, and he believes that humanity has potential that is underestimated by anyone in the universe, so he feels that humanity should take on the key to achieving cosmic peace in the future. ”

Wanda raised her eyebrows: "What...... Sounds decent? ”

"yes, except that I'm the one he's chosen to keep the peace." Tony muttered, "He's an unreasonable lunatic. He plans to create a cosmic avenger, just as the Avengers maintain peace on Earth, and he hopes that there will be a being who can maintain cosmic peace. And I was the one he chose, he said that this was my destiny, the person I was destined to become, and Iron Man was born for this. ”

"That's interesting." Michael looked down at the 451 robot, "That's quite an ambition, even for a machine created by a super race. Assuming that Stark is willing to cooperate with you and do what you say, he definitely doesn't have the ability to manage the entire universe. ”

He paused, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Unless you find 'that'." Michael said, "'Godslayer,' do you know where it is? ”

It's an easy association to make. "Maintaining the peace of the whole universe" is not a trivial matter, and the most important basis for the implementation of this model is absolute power, a force that no one in the universe can compete with and has to fear. Just like Iron Man did when he was first born on Earth.

451 is the last machine left by the Rommulons, and the "Godslayer" is the ultimate legend left behind by the Rommulons, so this is an easy association to make.

"You've heard of this?" Tony looked at him in amazement.

"yes." Michael turned to him, "So you've heard that, too." ”

"It's more than that." Tony gave a strange look under his mask, "Actually...... I've sat in it and driven. ”
