Chapter 85: Return, Super God Authority!
The glow of the Infinity Gems illuminated the surroundings.
It was also unclear why Digital Tony never turned off the virtual projection.
“This isn’t right? Why are there only four?”
Ian looked at the four Gems with surprise on his face, which didn’t match the information he had heard before that only the last Gem was missing. However, after thinking for a moment, Ian immediately seemed to realize something and looked up at the sky.
This was wisdom at work.
But not completely.
Ian only saw the darkness projected by the virtual projection, not even the base’s ceiling, let alone an image of Galactus’s body reflected in his eyes.
“One of the Gems is on the invincible Star Eater, right… He died, but He still promised to let me touch it. If you don’t believe me, ask His corpse after I finish touching it.”
“I assure you my respected Uncle Devourer won’t deny this.” Ian felt he had been infected by one of the seven deadly sins, greed, and Digital Tony didn’t refute his judgment.
Of course.
For Ian’s corpse-loving request, Digital Tony also gave no evaluation. “Collecting all the Infinity Gems is when we verify if we can succeed.”
He stared at the floating Infinity Gems, seemingly unconcerned that everything might just be a big dream.
“They are truly beautiful.”
Ian’s eyes went straight.
Seeing this, Digital Tony directly let the four Infinity Gems float in front of Ian.
“Can I touch them?”
Ian’s fingertips touched the surface of the Gem—icy cold, hard, without the expected profession acquisition, which made Ian feel a tiny bit disappointed.
He also didn’t feel any surge of power entering.
“Could it be that my immunity in this world also prevents me from using the Infinity Gems?” Ian sighed inwardly. He had previously guessed that Tony might want him to snap his fingers.
The result?
It seems not?
“These Gems are indeed very beautiful.”
Seeing this scene, Digital Tony showed no change in expression.
“They are the final Infinity Gems, and also the most powerful Infinity Gems. The collapse of the Multiverse also means they are unprecedentedly close to their original form.”
He just lightly explained to Ian.
“I know.”
Ian nodded.
The story about the Infinity Gems coming from the Goddess of Vengeance—saying she was one of the top fifty or top hundred super strong beings in Marvel. It was precisely because he had heard this that Ian was now pondering how to acquire a profession.
Make the Gems bleed?
Or?
Ian frowned and activated Super Intelligence.
At the same time.
Digital Tony stared at Ian, simulating a surprised tone. “You’re not even a little excited? The great power that once represented omnipotence is now being held in your… mouth?!”
“No! You can even put them in your mouth!?”
Now Digital Tony’s emotions were absolutely genuine.
He quickly raised his hand and summoned the Infinity Gems, so the four Gems that Ian had stuffed into his mouth broke through his lips and flew out.
“I just wanted to test my teeth, to see if they deserve to be in my mouth.” Ian didn’t tell the truth, but this was actually very normal.
He was afraid Digital Tony wouldn’t understand him.
Sometimes.
If you don’t force your stomach a bit.
Who would know if the System is hidden inside?
“Let me bite one more time?”
Undeterred, Ian tentatively looked at Digital Tony.
This actually wouldn’t affect this world at all. He didn’t need to truly digest and absorb to acquire the profession; after excreting and washing it, no one would notice anything wrong.
The Infinity Gems might even be as shiny and new as when they came out of the oven.
“…”
Faced with Ian’s proposal, Digital Tony was speechless and shook his head frantically.
To be honest, if he hadn’t discovered he lacked permissions in this area, he really wanted to allocate some computing power to specifically predict Ian’s behavior patterns.
“I can fulfill any other request of yours, but absolutely not this one.” Digital Tony directly took back the Infinity Gems and canceled the surrounding dark projection—the busy hall with many researchers reappeared, as if they were completely unaware of the conversation that had happened in the holographic projection.
“Alright.”
Ian nodded with slight regret. He still hadn’t found a successful method to form a new profession from the Goddess of Vengeance’s power and make it great on himself again.
With frustration in his heart.
Ian grabbed a bag of snacks from a researcher’s desk and walked away. The researcher glanced at him and protected his snack box, preventing Ian from successfully grabbing a second bag.
“You guard against a good person like me?”
The youth felt the other’s vigilance, and his mood became even more frustrated. He angrily threw down the Franklin he had already pulled out, only to see the researcher still staring at him helplessly.
“Do you think in Earth’s current ghastly appearance, I can still find a place to use money?”
The researcher still guarded his food.
“…”
This time it was Ian’s turn to be speechless.
“Maybe you can use it to wipe your butt? Trust me, it’s definitely more useful than paper, full of guilt.” Even a genius like him could only come up with such a reluctant excuse.
“Is it possible that my butt doesn’t need wiping at all because I’m using a daily disposable body?” The researcher glared at Ian with her big Kapalan eyes.
Big eyes stared at small eyes.
Moments later.
The speechless Ian couldn’t think of a response for a long time.
Fortunately, Digital Tony bailed him out.
“Greedy little brat, don’t make things difficult for Dr. Helen Zhao. Let’s talk—do you have any other requests?” Digital Tony gave Ian a good way out.
Ian pretended to be very busy and quickly ran back.
“It would be great if you could let me touch Sentry and Omni-Man.” Ian was also someone who knew contentment, so he quietly added another name to reach that level of contentment.
“Okay.”
Digital Tony seemed very straightforward.
“Your time is up.”
He spoke very abruptly.
Then he turned and signaled the researcher to hand back the box containing the Demon Head to Ian.
“Uh…”
Ian had just taken the box.
“Clang~~~~”
The returning bell sound immediately rang out.
Watching Ian’s body disappear from the base, Betty—who had been watching everything from the corner, the scientist Ian had first encountered—couldn’t help but walk over.
“Tony, he comes and goes like this mysteriously time after time, no one knows what purpose he has. We haven’t even figured out who he is or where he comes from.”
“This is really dangerous for us… especially at a time like this.” Betty showed worry on her face; for uncertain factors, she thought Tony should be on guard.
It’s not surprising that Betty was suspicious.
After all, this world shouldn’t have pure living people and Demons existing anymore.
“Miss Rose, I no longer possess Curiosity, so I don’t need to know where he comes from or what his purpose is for appearing and disappearing repeatedly.”
“I only need to try my best to fulfill his requests.” Digital Tony’s holographic projection returned to the screen, streams of data silently shuttling across his face.
“Why? What’s the situation between you and him? You didn’t even agree to let me analyze the Demon he brought…” Betty frowned with a puzzled gaze.
She knew Ian had high-level permissions for this base, but she didn’t expect the permissions to be this high—Tony’s sole goal should be to push the world toward reboot!
“I’m not the complete Tony Stark, so I can’t give you a definitive answer. You just need to know that in this Universe, that boy also has the highest permissions.”
The air seemed to freeze.
After a pause.
Tony spoke again.
“Higher than me, higher than you, higher than this base, higher than… everything.” Tony’s voice echoed in the empty hall, Betty’s face gradually turning pale.
Her face was full of extreme shock and horror.
The Savior’s words.
Made this scientist feel makes one shudder upon further thought.
