About a few hours ago, Schiller and the others were still in the Holy of Holies, studying Stark's ascension.

"I think that no matter how thorough the preparation is, we can't rule out the possibility of accidents, and we better think of the worst first." Strange said.

"The worst possible outcome? It's nothing more than a failure to upgrade, right? Natasha said, with a flick of her finger.

Strange shook his head and said in an accentuated tone, "The worst outcome is that the promotion is successful, and it will always be successful, and Tony becomes a demon god, which means that humanity will lose him forever."

"I don't understand, human and demon god forms are destined to exist only one?" Connors asked, pushing his glasses.

Strange sighed, then nodded and said, "Man is a social creature, because of various needs, he needs to rely on others, and he has feelings with others, so he has built this society. ”

"However, the demon gods can use the energy of the universe source infinitely, they are perfect creatures in a sense, and they are no longer limited by physical ability, which means that they no longer need society."

"At the same time. The change in the structure of life will make them rely more on energy than matter, which will lead to a change in the way of thinking, very few demon gods can maintain the vitality of their birth, and every demon god and his dimension will eventually go to eternal laziness. ”

"To give you an example, maybe you've heard me mention that the group of star spirits on the edge of the eternal realm, they have a normal society, they can communicate and help each other, perhaps, you think it's a perfect life form, but in fact, the number of star spirits is getting smaller and smaller, they are starting to become less and less concerned about their companions, and their living range is becoming more and more dispersed."

"In the end, they will become like the lord of the crimson dimension, they don't care about everything, only the pursuit of power, which can make them a little interested, and in the end, they don't even care about power and energy, and as the energy is exhausted, they will die."

"This is the fate of the Universe Demon God, although this process will be very long, a powerful Dimensional Demon God like the Lord of the Crimson Dimension may not perish until the universe dies, but everything has an end, and this universe is fair."

Strange looked a little sad when he said these things, saying: "The occult is like this, when something is born, his fate is already predestined, and whatever his fate is, the end must not escape destruction and death." ”

"In other words, once Tony does succeed in ascending, he is no longer a member of the human race, right?" Connors asked.

"Maybe at first, he could still maintain a human mentality, but as the feelings were gradually weakened, he became more and more indifferent."

"The earth does not allow these demon gods to stay, because of this, as they gradually evolve and become more and more powerful, they will become more and more indifferent, no longer take any life to heart, and they will not feel that there is a community of destiny with him, and in the end, all he can bring is destruction." Strange replied.

"No, I'm not going to accept that happening." Stark said firmly, "Even if I give up all my strength, I must remain human, and I am proud of my race." ”

Every time this question was raised, Stark's answer was always extra firm, even though the Demon God might have a near-infinite lifespan, Stark was still proud of the short-lived human species.

Schiller thought for a moment, and then said, "Since you have successfully given up once before, can you also give up this time?" ”

"Maybe, but there's still a risk." Strange said, "In Kama Taj's research, the cause of the demon god has not been determined......

"Nothing is risk-free." Stark interrupted, "I've always been tired of overusing uncontrolled power, but that doesn't mean we're choking and trying nothing, and that's not going to make progress. ”

"I'm just reminding you of the possible risks, and as for what to do, it's up to you to do it."

"I'm going up there and have a look." Stark made up his mind, saying, "At least focus on Peter, if those troubles really come from outside the universe, they will put him in great danger." ”

Stark frowned, anyone could see his concern.

Strange patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you decide to do this, we'd better go to Kama Taj, and if something happens, the archmages will be able to deal with it in time." ”

"Isn't Kama Taj not allowed to enter anyone other than a mage?" Schiller asked.

"When is that old yellow calendar?" Strange said in amazement, and then, he said, "Now, Kama Taj is a large-scale comprehensive magical research center that integrates research, communication, and learning, and now, there are not only Kama Taj mages here, but also strange people from all over the world who have mastered the power of the occult......

"Everyone will exchange and learn here, raise the power of magic and technology to a higher level, and we will reward all occultists with the power they have previously obtained, and encourage all occultists to complete the occult history of the earth, discover new technologies from ancient texts, and extrapolate the future direction from the current level of technology......"

At the sound of his words, several people stepped into the portal, and what appeared in front of them was no longer the antique Kama Taj Hall.

All the brazier columns were removed, except for the wooden structure and the drapery hanging from the walls, and in the rest of the place were placed one table after another, on which were placed a number of orbs of light.

Trunk reached out and took one, and said, "The latest research results are stored here, and if anyone can improve their skills on top of that, then they can get the power in this crystal ball......"

Schiller saw that the mages around him were discussing different crystal balls.

Among them, there are those wearing suits, some wearing ancient costumes, some holding guns, some with swords, some with huge pets, and even those with tentacles on their backs, Strange saw the eyes of several people, and he explained: "Don't worry, all the people who can enter here have been tested by the Earth Magic Defense Network, and the demon gods they have contracted are all our members, and no one will mess around." ”

Passing through the lobby, there are palaces one after another, which seem to have been transformed into dormitories, and the square surrounded by buildings on three sides is very lively at this time.

Mephisto snorted and said, "Look at my agent, his beautiful skull, hard to find in hell, and the motorcycle, oh, I think, the motorcycle is a failure, I still prefer the horse of my predecessor......"

Mordo still stood beside him with a cold face, he raised his staff and said, "All stand back, the third round is about to start, and you will not be responsible for accidental injuries......"

"Again, the energy that can be used by the players on both sides is fixed, and the demon god behind it is the same, anyone who dares to violate the rules will be responsible for the consequences......" Mo Du read from the script with an expressionless face.

"Wait a minute! The one over there! You project too much power, and if you say you, it's you, that demon god......"

Mordo gave an order, and the archmage found the body of the demon god along the phantom, and chopped it up in two clicks, and Mephisto gloated on the side and said: "Let you disobey the rules and become melon seeds, give me some ......"

"Is this really okay?" Stark looked at the chaos and said, "Why do I think there's something wrong?" ”

"That's your delusion." Strange pushed Stark inside, and through the palace and the plaza, he came to a round-roofed building that appeared to be a research center.

In the center of the entire circular canopy, there is a huge energy source, emitting a soft light, and many mages are busy around that ball of light, Strange turned to Stark and introduced, "This is the energy we have accumulated so far, most of which is used to increase the strength of the Earth's defense network, and a small part is used for research. ”

"Watching your ascension process is a very valuable experience for Kama Taj, so we can reimburse the amount of magical energy it takes, if someone is selfless, ......of course, if someone is selfless."

"Reimbursement? How do I get reimbursed? Schiller's eyes lit up, Strange rolled his eyes, and said, "Don't think about it, we are reimbursement, there is no room for maneuver, take your abacus back......"

Schiller "cut", and then he and the other mages stepped away, and Strange and Stark stood in front of the ball of light.

After Strange fully charged Stark's magic core, he said: "Pay attention to stay awake, once you feel yourself breaking through the cosmic barrier, immediately focus on what you want to see, after reading it, don't stop, come back immediately, the whole process should be as short as possible, if you stay too long, no one knows what will happen......"

Stark nodded, signaling that he understood, and so, he inserted the core into the chest of his steel suit, and in an instant, a magnificent pillar of magic light shot straight into the sky, and the huge iron demon god phantom flashed for a moment, and then disappeared into a starry sky.

From the magical vision, being able to see more things, Stark's figure gradually became illusory, and many points of light lit up in his body, and then disappeared into the deep space of the universe.

From Stark's point of view, he first reached the extreme wall of the monolithic universe, and then, with the blessing of abundant energy, his wisdom broke through the barrier of the monolithic universe, and when he came to the universe, he regained that multi-line vision, and he could see different things on different timelines at the same time.

Stark concentrated his mind and focused his vision on Peter Parker, and soon, he saw many figures of Peter Parker in the universe swinging in front of him, most of them Peter, with a hint of depression between their eyebrows, far less sunny than the Peter of this universe that Stark knew.

Following Peter Parker's story, he saw the Morun family, a base independent of the multiverse, the whole looked like a Gothic castle, but the exterior was scarlet, and there were some wriggling shadows wrapped around the building, which looked evil and terrifying.

Stark looked more intently into the castle, and he saw that many members of the Moron family, dressed as vampires, were gathering in the hall of the castle, their hands on their shoulders, their heads bowed and whispering, and the voices of prayer grew louder and louder.

Just when Stark wanted to hear what they were praying for, suddenly, everyone was stunned, and the patriarch of the family led by him showed a very puzzled expression.

But soon, they lowered their heads again and began to pray, and as the prayers grew louder and louder, Starq saw the golden power of faith spread out of their bodies, gradually converging into a line and projecting into the distance.

In the dark, Stark heard their thoughts:

"Focus...... More focused...... More Faith ...... We need to control the totem of the newborn...... She will bring us greater strength......"

"The totem responded to us...... It's almost a success...... It's almost a success......"

As the prayers grew louder and louder, Stark looked into the distance, and he saw that at the end of the golden thread, in the distant starry sky, a very bright light lit up......

The triple aura illuminated the universe, Stark's mind raced, and in the middle of the galaxy, he heard an ethereal voice that came with the stars:

"When the universe comes to an end, and all things come to an end, I will sprout out of destruction, and I will bring new life to all that is to be destroyed, and I will destroy all that is destined to be destroyed, and then I will ...... Destroy fate. ”

"My name...... Adlaide Edward Helen Stark. ”
