At night, the starry sky twinkles, but none of the stars shine with a glimmer of hope.

Lonely mountains still stand tall in the Himalayas, towering into the clouds, but the once mysterious and majestic mountains are now dead and silent, and the cold wind blows through the mountains, making people feel desolate.

Zhan Liu stood on the top of the mountain, looking around, and there were ruins everywhere.

The fire has been extinguished, but the once thriving and bustling scenes of Kama Taj and the flow of people are gone.

The cloudy sky makes everything seem even heavier, and the oppressive atmosphere is suffocating.

It took Zhan Liu several hours to dig up everyone's bodies, dig graves on the top of the mountain with his hands, and bury everyone in them one by one.

Tombstones were erected, and there were no names on them.

In fact, among these mages of Kama Taj, Zhan Liu only knew one mage king and one Strange, and only dealt with the two of them.

He basically had no friendship with these mages, not even nodding his head. But I don't know why, watching these mages die tragically, Zhan Liu's heart was so depressed that he couldn't do it.

In fact, Zhan Liu is not a person who respects life very much, and when he confronted S.H.I.E.L.D., he never showed mercy, and when he attacked Hydra with Natalia, he was even more murderous.

There were not a thousand but eight hundred dead at his hands, and he never felt any nausea, vomiting, or disgust in his heart.

But now the death of these mages has restored the same empathy in his heart as ordinary people, becoming more like a "person", and closer to the characteristic product of this universe, "superheroes".

Everything is subtle and gradual.

Because he has been in the Martial God World for some years, although he has lost his memory, his body's instinct still makes him "careless of human life", and the rules of this universe and his destined fate have gradually pulled him back to the human world from the Martial God mind.

Whether this situation is good or bad is really difficult to say.

With the empathy of ordinary people, feelings will naturally become richer, and it will be easier to resonate with the things encountered, and then it will be easier to recognize the original heart and achieve a broken star.

However, after thinking and three views are inclined to superheroes, they are more likely to be affected by fate, and the more difficult it is to detach.

After burying the entire Kama Taj, Zhan Liu left the place with a heavy heart and flew back to the United States.

He was still thinking about the insect Natalia, for fear that something would happen to Natalia, but fortunately, what appeared in front of him again was still a big beauty in the form of a human figure, not a disgusting big bug.

"Thank goodness Natalia, it's great that you're okay!"

Zhan Liu warmly hugged Natalia tightly.

"At first, I thought you were dead, and then I saw that you had become a big bug, commanding those zergs, and I was really worried that after you became a bug, you would never come back."

"You're okay, it's the best news I've ever received in this time."

The two have experienced life and death again, and their relationship has warmed up again, and Natalia has been worried about Zhan Liu these days, and she is also very excited to see him safe and sound.

She was much more active than Zhan Liu, she was as enthusiastic as fire, she stepped forward and kissed Zhan Liu's lips fiercely, and practiced the lung capacity of the two of them well.

After the two made love, Natalia let go of her hand and said hesitantly:

"I don't know what's going on."

"I only remember that I was killed by that Iron Warrior with one shot, and the memories that followed became more blurry, and I don't even know how I changed back into human form."

"But I think it has something to do with my superpowers, maybe something like a boss transformation, but I've tried many times since then, and I haven't been able to change back to that again."

"And I also found that my current body has become very fragile, far less powerful than before, and the superpower of magnetic field control is also a lot weaker, which is simply an all-round weakening."

"I also tried to summon that group of cosmic bugs, but there was no response at all, maybe this is a skill that can only be used by the Zerg form."

"The ability to control bugs has not weakened, but the bugs on the earth are too weak to play any role when fighting against strong enemies."

"I don't know how long I'm going to be in this weak state right now, but it shouldn't feel too short."

"I think maybe I lost my memory before, and it was also caused by using the Zerg transformation."

Hearing the word "Iron Warrior", Zhan Liu's eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of hatred and murderous intent.

"Tony Stark!"

"He is also the one who returned from the future, and in order to prevent me from becoming a Supreme Mage, he has destroyed the entire Kama Taj so that I will not be able to learn magic."

"And he seems to have another purpose, he didn't kill me, but instead gave me the ability to regain the ability to rotate the magnetic field, and said something like that he wanted me to break the star, and I don't know what he was planning."

"He didn't kill you? Is it because you're worried that someone will resurrect you with the Time Stone? Natalia asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Zhan Liu shook his head, "Probably not." It always felt like he was behind the scenes, controlling something in the dark, and I was treated as a pawn by him. ”

"Damn!" Zhan Liu angrily punched the table next to him to pieces.

Natalia patted him on the shoulder and reassured, "As long as we live, we have a chance to turn the tables around." ”

"Tony Stark is very strong, we couldn't beat him in his heyday, and if we want to take him down, I'm afraid we have to find another way."

"Since he is the one who returned from the future, if we kill Tony Stark, who is still weak, will we make this future enemy disappear out of thin air?"

Zhan Liu carefully recalled the plot of "Avengers 4", and compared Wolverine's operation in "X-Men: Future Past", and he couldn't figure out whether this method would work.

However, considering the plot of those random time travel in Marvel Comics, Zhan Liu finally nodded:

"I'm not sure either, but it's worth a try."

"Now that you have become an enemy, you don't have to show mercy."

"Now Tony Stark, the steel armor should still be very weak, and it can be easily killed."

As soon as he said this, there were more than a dozen steel armors whizzing through the sky next to him, and looking at the shape, it was clear that it was at least a version of Mark 20 or above.

Zhan Liu and Natalia glanced at each other and exclaimed, "What a joke! ”

"Is this Tony crazy patrolling the skies over New York?"

The two turned on the TV, only to see that the news media were gathering in front of Stark Industries, eagerly interviewing Obadiah, the current chairman of the board of directors of Stark Group.

“…… All investors can rest assured that even without Tony Stark, Stark Industries is still the world's top arms manufacturer. ”

Obadiah frowned and talked to the pile of microphones and cameras in front of him, he stretched out his finger, nodded to the dozens of steel armor circling and flying above his head, and said proudly:

"We have far more scientific research strength in military weapons than any country in the world, as evidenced by these steel armors flying in the sky."

The real Mark 50 armor, Obadiah only produced one for himself, and the products he took out for the military were just some ordinary armors, but just that, the whole world was shocked.

"We have reached a new arms purchase contract with the U.S. military to produce this Obadia I steel armor as a necessary security safeguard for U.S. soldiers to maintain peace around the world and to counter the growing super-criminal activity at home."

"The total contract amount reaches the level of 100 billion US dollars, and it is divided into three years for delivery."

"The first batch of products has been delivered, and will be used in law and order activities in major cities in the country, and the heinous crimes caused by this kind of supercriminals that happened in New York not long ago will not happen again, and the lives of the people will be further protected......

The two of them are too lazy to continue to watch the in the back, they can guess it, it's all, none of them are true.

"This kind of technology is definitely not something that Obadia can do, only Tony Stark can do, and it is not Tony Stark at this point in time."

"In other words, Tony Stark from the future has partnered with the current Obadiah, and handed over his technology to the current Obadiah to use, and even gave up the naming rights of the battle armor, which is a bit out of Tony Stark's character......"

Zhan Liu's figure out how to feel that something was wrong, there seemed to be something wrong, but he thought about it, and he didn't understand what the problem was.

"What about Tony Stark in this world?" Natalia also found it strange, "The intelligence shows that there were two Tony Stark in the Stark Building, one escaped after being discovered, and the other was later found to be an imposter and was arrested. ”

"So where is Tony Stark?"

Zhan Liu pondered carefully for a moment and said: "The one who was found to have fled voluntarily must be an impostor, but the one who was caught as an imposter may not be an impostor." ”

Natalia reacted quickly and immediately understood what Zhan Six meant.

"You mean, Tony Stark from the future conspired with Obadiah to arrest the real Tony Stark as an impostor?"

"But it doesn't make sense!"

"He went back to the past and didn't contact his past self, but grabbed his past self, what kind of sassy operation is this!"

Natalia shook her head, feeling that Zhan Liu's guess was wrong, but Zhan Liu had a different opinion on it.

"Arrest doesn't necessarily mean killing, maybe it's an alternative kind of protection."

Natalia shook her head, "Wouldn't giving him a Mark 50 Steel Armor be the best protection?" Why bother? ”

"What if this isn't protecting Tony Stark from the past?"

"I've heard of a theory about time travel, which is that if the same person meets at different points in time, the time and space will eventually erase the person who is later in time."

"In other words, if Tony Stark from the future meets his current self, the one from the future will disappear in the end."

"If this theory is correct, then in order to protect Tony Stark from the future, the two Tony must not be allowed to meet."

"But the problem is that Tony Stark is a very self-centered guy, and he will never grieve his current self for the sake of his future self, and he can't go anywhere at home like he is in prison."

"Even if he is proud, he may not disdain to use his own technology in the future, but he may want to compete with his future self."

"In the same way, Tony Stark from the future must also know what choices his past self will make, so he simply cooperates with the ambitious Obadia, joins forces to force the palace, and arrests the current Tony Stark first."

"Obadiah will definitely not refuse in order to obtain Tony's black technology in the future."

"In this way, everything is fully explained."

Natalia suddenly realized, thought about it several times, and found no obvious loopholes.

"Your guess is indeed reasonable, but there is still a lack of evidence, it is pure speculation, what if you guess wrong?"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhanliu spread his hands, "Anyway, Obadiah must be in the same league as the future Tony Stark now, then he is the enemy." ”

"The enemy of my enemy, that's my friend."

"Even if the captured Tony Stark is not real, he is definitely not our enemy, and there will be nothing wrong with rescuing him."

"If we're lucky and guess correctly, then let him meet with the future Tony Stark, and the laws of time and space will naturally solve the enemy for us."

While the two of them are plotting how to kill Tony Stark, the proud Obadiah also has an unexpected visitor.

"The Illuminati?"

"What's that?"

"A replacement for S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Norman Osborne, who was sitting across from him, smiled and shook his finger, "No, no, Mr. Obadiah, S.H.I.E.L.D. belongs to the whole world, but the Illuminati belongs only to private individuals. ”

"All members of the Illuminati must have the power to change the world, extraordinary power!"

"For example, the extraordinary forces that caused all kinds of crises in New York during this time."

"Remember that big green guy who fought your Iron Warriors?"

"His name is Bruce Banner, and he's from the Illuminati."

Obadiah's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak. He knew very well that the man wearing the Mark 50 armor was definitely not his subordinate, and it was probably Tony Stark, who had escaped first, but he didn't say anything.

"And the Thunder Werewolf that appeared that night, the black alien monster, and the Chinese captain who fought the alien swarm, are all from our Illuminati."

"Frankly, if it weren't for the fact that you possessed the epochal technology of the Steel Warframe, you wouldn't have been qualified to know the name of the Illuminati."

When Norman Osborne had finished speaking, he stood up and extended a hand of friendship to Obadiah.

"Now, I warmly invite you to be one of us, to decide the fate of the world together, and to guide the future direction of this planet."

"Tell me your decision, then, Mr. Obadia."

Obadiah looked at Norman for a moment, then finally stood up and took Norman's hand tightly.

"It is my pleasure, Mr. Osborne!"
