Chapter 490: Tony's Mental Pressure

"Is Iron Man Tony Stark, or is Iron Man as long as he wears the Iron suit?" Sitting on the sofa, Tony raised his head and looked at Lin Rui and asked seriously.

The reason why Tony thinks this way is also because the impact of the Killian attack on him today is relatively large. Before this, Tony had never encountered any danger or predicament because of the strength of the Iron Suit. After all, the Iron Suit is already the world's top armament. However, what happened just now made Tony clearly realize that if he didn't have the Iron Suit, he would be a very fragile ordinary person who could destroy him.

In the original plot, Tony also developed a mental illness due to his dependence on the steel suit, and would fall into a very delicate state of panic when he lost the steel suit. In addition, the bullet fragment in Tony's chest has not been removed because it is too close to the heart, which will always put some pressure on Tony. Therefore, after today's steel suit was controlled by the enemy, Tony's pent-up emotions suddenly exploded. Just now, it was because of the excitement after the war that Tony didn't think too much, and now that the live broadcast is over, Tony's feelings in his heart completely exploded.

"Huh?" Hearing Tony's words, Lin Rui, who originally thought that Tony didn't fight back immediately because he didn't care about Killian, suddenly became more serious.

Call~

"Tony, why do you think that?" Squatting down in front of Tony, Lin Rui asked softly. At this time, Lin Rui had also noticed the changes in Tony's psychology.

"Isn't it? Tony Stark without the Iron Suit is just an ordinary person, and I can't even guarantee my own safety in the same situation as I just had. Actually, I probably can't afford to be called Iron Man at all. Looking at the young man in front of him, Tony replied seriously.

"Mr. Stark, that's not the case! You're Iron Man! Iron Man is you!" Peter said with some excitement when he heard Tony's words. As a person who admires Tony very much, Peter doesn't think that other people are Iron Man when they wear Iron suits, there is only one Iron Man, and that is Tony Stark.

"Peter, I'm Iron Man, but Iron Man doesn't have to be me. Hearing Peter's excited words, Tony said with a smile.

"Mr. Stark, Peter is right. Iron Man is you, and there will only be you. What do other people mean even if they wear Iron suits? Do we think they're Iron Man? If it's not Tony Stark, then there's no Iron Man. Iron Man represents much more than an Iron Suit, and its meaning is not something that can be expressed by an emotionless armor. Since Iron Man appeared, you have done so many things, these are your qualifications to take the title of Iron Man!" Sensing that Tony's emotions were indeed a little problematic, Lin Rui said with a serious face.

It is true that many people can wear the Iron Suit, but its significance is not in the armor itself, but in who wears it. Ever since Tony created the Iron Suit, he has been fighting terrorists and saving innocent civilians. A lot of the time, Tony is in a steel suit and travels through a lot of dangerous places. This Tony is what Iron Man looks like, and it is also the reason why Iron Man can become the hottest superhero today.

Without Tony, the Iron Suit would be nothing more than an advanced piece of armor, and it might have become a weapon for the U.S. military's armed forces. And because of Tony's existence, he withstood the huge pressure of the U.S. military, held the ownership of the steel suit tightly in his own hands, and he took on the responsibility of protecting innocent civilians in the United States and even the world. Such a Tony can be called Iron Man, far from being expressed by a steel suit.

"Really, but I can't even protect myself without the Iron Suit. Hearing Lin Rui's words, Tony was in a better mood, but he was still a little unconfident.

"And this thing on my chest, although it looks beautiful, I don't want to wear it all the time. If, without it, the shrapnel in my heart would have killed me soon. As he spoke, Tony pointed to the miniature ark reactor on his chest.

"Hmm!?This, haven't you already recovered?Can't you still take this ark reactor?" Hearing Tony's last words, Lin Rui, who was already a little relaxed, suddenly became nervous again.

Lin Rui, who was no longer familiar with the original plot, had already forgotten about this situation, and he thought that Tony had fully recovered after drinking the elf holy spring he had given. In fact, the Elven Sacred Spring last time only allowed Tony to recover from palladium poisoning. As for the shrapnel in Tony's heart, the Elven Fountain didn't have the power to make them disappear.

These days, Tony is completely reliant on the miniature ark reactor in his chest to stay alive. Although theoretically as long as the Ark Reactor is always there, Tony's life will not be in danger, but there is such a time bomb in his chest all the time, and no one will be very relieved.

"The shrapnel in the heart has always been there, but with the Ark Reactor, they don't move. Seeing Lin Rui's surprised expression, Tony explained.

"Isn't there a doctor who can take it out?" Hearing Tony's explanation, Lin Rui asked with a frown.

This kind of thing, the general treatment method is really useless, whether it is the gene therapy potion or the magic healing items in Lin Rui's hand, it is to let the body recover on its own. But Tony's case is that there is a foreign body in the body, and if it can't be removed, the body will be useless even if it is treated.

"A lot of doctors have checked and they don't have a complete confidence in removing the shrapnel. And there was the Ark Reactor, and they all advised me to keep it as it was. Seeing that Lin Rui was very concerned about his situation, Tony was no longer as depressed as he was just now. Moreover, Lin Rui and Peter were very supportive of Tony, and the thoughts in his heart slowly dissipated.

"Jackson, do you have a way?" Peter had also been listening, and asked Lin Rui worriedly when he heard this.

"Method...... I'm not a doctor either, so I can't judge. Hearing Peter's words, Lin Rui shook his head.

"But, Tony, do you know Steve Strange?" Lin Rui first denied that he had a way, and then suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes to look at Tony and then asked.

"Steve Strange? Who is this? I seem to have an impression, but I don't know. Hearing the name that suddenly popped out of Lin Rui's mouth, Tony replied after thinking about it. Hearing the name Steve Strange, Tony did have some familiarity, where he should have seen it, but certainly not the one he knew.

"Sir, Steve Strange is a very good neurosurgeon and he is also the youngest genius doctor to appear in The Lancet. When Tony wondered who this Steve Strange was, Jarvis answered his doubts in a timely manner.

"Genius neurosurgeon?Jackson, you don't want to say that this genius doctor can help me get the shrapnel out of my heart, right?" Hearing Jarvis's words, Tony's eyes flashed and he asked Lin Rui.

Tony's problem was the shrenchnel in his heart, not a nerve injury, and he didn't think a genius neurologist could help him.

"How do you know if you don't try it? This Dr. Strange is very interested in some difficult diseases, and his medical skills are very good, and there may be a way to help you. Lin Rui doesn't know where the doctor who operated on Tony later in the original plot is now, but he knows Strange, who will become Doctor Strange in the future. Doctor Strange was a very famous and gifted neurosurgeon before he became Doctor Strange, and he was very interested in all kinds of incurable diseases.

"Well, I'll go and try it with him, just trust you. Looking at Lin Rui's serious appearance, Tony nodded and said.

"Are you still worried about whether you can take on the responsibility of Iron Man?" Seeing that Tony's mood had almost recovered, Lin Rui asked with a smile.

"Troubled, how could I be troubled, I'm Iron Man!" After the encouragement of Lin Rui and Peter, and the expectation that his heart would fully recover, Tony had now put aside that thought.

"Haha! I still want to see the weak side of Iron Man Tony Stark" Seeing Tony's current appearance, Lin Rui laughed and joked.

"Now, let's fight back against the Killians!"
