Chapter 22: Tony, War Is Coming
Late at night.
Avengers base.
Ronan sat on the roof of the base, feeling the wind that belonged to the night.
Above his head, the stars were surrounded and the moon hung high.
Such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere could not calm Ronan's restless heart.
No, to be exact, his apprehensive heart.
After meeting the ancient one of this world, Ronan returned to the Avengers base and has been on the roof until now.
The excitement of learning to mirror the dimension has long since vanished.
"Teacher, teacher..."
"You're really going to put a burden on me."
Ronan looked at the sky with a wry smile on his face, he had been recalling what the ancient one had said.
What does it mean to follow your heart?
No matter what rules are, they can't bind me.
He never imagined that he, a character who came to play soy sauce, would unexpectedly encounter so many situations.
Whether it's the stranger of Vormir, or the ancient one who has long since "died" in this world.
They all bring Ronan some unexpected "surprises".
Of course, whether it was a surprise or a fright, no one knows.
In Ronan's impression, as the Supreme Mage, the Ancient One, as she expressed, has always adhered to the rules of the Supreme Mage.
It does not participate in the wars of humans on Earth, and does not affect the movement of any time stream.
Even at the time of the alien invasion, as long as there was no danger of destruction on Earth, she never appeared.
The ancient one, who strictly abides by the rules, and Strange, who does what he wants, can be called very different.
Compared with the ancient one, Ronan's impression of Strange is simply so rotten that it can't be worse.
If we say, there is a desperate and bold side to Strange's character.
This was shown when he first became a Supreme Mage.
However, when Peter Parker of this universe approached him and wanted him to cast an amnesia spell, Strange actually agreed!
You know, five years have passed between the time he became the Supreme Mage and the time Peter Parker asked him for help!
That's five years.
It's enough for a beginner rookie to become a mature and steady mage.
Not to mention, he is also a Supreme Mage.
Even so, he still helped Peter Parker cast the spell "Amnesia Charm".
The Amnesia Charm is a spell that is extremely dangerous and seriously disturbs the course of history and the human mind, even if Ronan has never been exposed to it, he knows that it is very likely to be a forbidden magic spell.
Could it be that Strange is really out of his mind?
Or did he also "follow" his heart?
Ronan doesn't know.
But what he can be sure of is that things are definitely not as simple as he seems.
Especially after connecting this series together, Ronan is even more sure that something must have happened in the middle that he didn't know.
The only person who may know is the ancient one.
But as we all know, the Ancient One was also a riddler.
Normally, he would just guess the mind of a riddler, but now there are so many riddlers.
It's either a hooded man who disguises his identity, or Kang the Conqueror with a harmless face but a strong face.
Even the pattern on Ronan's left hand is a mystery.
Is this playing with me?
Thinking of this, Ronan looked up at the sky and gave a middle finger to the sky.
"It's a good superhero movie, and you made it a suspense movie for me."
"I even got the popcorn ready, and you asked me to guess the riddle?"
"Fuck you uncle!"
Ronan spat hard at the sky, not knowing who he was targeting.
But in line with the principle of "escaping shameful but extremely useful", Ronan didn't want to think about it anymore.
Isn't it fragrant to watch live with popcorn?
Why bother to guess this and that.
Anyway, in any case, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
Bother with these Riddlers, he Ronan is the one!
At this moment, Ronan's mood was also much more relaxed.
Again, if the matter is related to him, then he will settle everything step by step.
If it has nothing to do with him, it depends on his mood.
As for what the hell is on the minds of others, Ronan doesn't care!
I don't want to guess either!
"I didn't expect you to be here."
"Do you mages have any special habits?"
Just as Ronan was further consolidating his Dao Heart, Tony Stark flew up from below.
Being able to fly around in a suit at night is something that only Tony Stark can do.
"I have quite a few special fetishes, but they don't include flying around in the middle of the night in armor."
Ronan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain.
Tony Stark is a guy who always has the primary purpose of attracting other people's attention.
This has been the case since the very beginning.
Even until the last scene, you still have to learn from Thanos and say the phrase "I am Iron Man".
"It's all fathers, isn't it good to be mature and stable?"
Thinking of that last scene, Ronan's eyes couldn't wait to roll to the sky.
Although it was shocking, I wanted to complain even more.
"Huh?"
"Did you know I have a daughter?"
Tony Stark landed beside Ronan, and the steel suit slowly faded, revealing his body.
Judging by his outfit, it seems that he has just come out of the laboratory.
"Not only do I know you have a daughter, but I also know that her name is Morgan, and she is a very sweet little girl."
Looking at Tony Stark's slightly proud eyes, Ronan tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Tsundere old man!
Didn't you think about your daughter when you snapped your fingers?
"I almost forgot that you, like Strange, can see the past and the future."
"But you're boring enough, too."
"The unknown is more interesting, isn't it?"
According to Tony Stark's character, he is clearly not interested in this kind of thing.
In a way, such people live at ease.
"So, you didn't come to me so late to discuss such a philosophical question with me, did you?"
Ronan looked into Tony Stark's eyes with a smile on his face.
Because on his face, Ronan saw a hint of apprehension and unease.
I'm afraid that he is not as free and easy about the unknown future as he says.
"That..."
"I know you wizards... Mages and the like are good at divination. ”
"Although I know that those things are basically fake."
"However, this is not the case with others."
"There's always an indescribable atmosphere in the team."
"You know, they're not as strong as I am."
Tony Stark shrugged his shoulders and said something that didn't make sense.
Ronan, however, understood what he meant.
"So..."
"You came to me to do some divination about the future?"
Ronan retracted the smile on his face.
"No, no, no, not the future."
"I just want to ask you to calculate whether we can succeed in what we have done."
"After all, no one wants to face the slightly pessimistic atmosphere in the team."
Tony Stark shook his head repeatedly, trying to make a gesture that had nothing to do with him.
It's just that his missed heartbeat betrayed him.
Ronan slowly turned his head and looked at the unreachable night sky.
The breeze swept across his face, his hair constantly swaying, obscuring Ronan's vision from time to time.
At this moment, Tony Stark felt a trace of feeling from Ronan's body that he had never felt before.
He... It looks like it's the same as before...
It's completely different!
"Tony, war... It's coming. ”
