Silkaria, Pepper Industries, Castle Underground Laboratory.
"So you guys blew up my lab and told me a nightmare came true?!"
Tony covered his head with his hands. He felt a little dizzy, especially because the light on the top of the operating table dazzled him.
"Mr. Stark, your examination is not finished yet, please don't move yet."
The voice is very calm. The blond female doctor next to the operating table has an ID tag hanging on her body that says minimally invasive medicine. She is also a doctor.
If it was before.
Tony Stark would be happy to ask the other person's name.
But now it was obvious that he was not in the mood.
"I know myself, I check myself, let me get up."
Tony looked at Pepper.
Not only Pepper, but also some other people came after hearing the news.
"Sometimes I feel that life is pretty good. At least I still have so many friends."
"Pepper, Happy, Rhodes, and..."
Tony's eyes fell on Silver Sable, the woman who blew up his laboratory.
Wild warband.
To be honest, he had not had much contact with this war group since he came to Sirkaria for a while.
He focused more on this laboratory, and now the laboratory is gone.
What a... nightmare.
…
"It's good that you're awake, Pepper was worried about you."
Happy was originally at his place since he and Tony left New York.
It started in a sanatorium outside of New York.
after that.
Chaos began in New York, Tony stopped playing with the military, and Stark Industries withdrew completely.
certainly.
Now New York and even the entire state are gone, but that's not the point.
Since moving to Silkaria, Happy has his own villa.
There are also swimming pools, wine, and the girls of Silkaria.
Because of Tony's identity, because of Iron Man and the Steel Factory, everything about Stark is welcome here.
Naturally, Happy was included.
"Dude."
"It's time for you to lose weight. I feel like you've gained a lot of weight. How long has it been since we last met?!"
Tony said casually, glancing at the wine bottles piled up in the corner.
There was also the entire area behind the laboratory that was violently demolished.
Why!
It seems like he can no longer live in this place.
"It didn't take long actually. It's just that you've been keeping yourself in the laboratory lately."
"I mean, well... you almost got yourself killed!"
Happy recalled.
The last time Tony was so impulsive, he took him to challenge the Black Hand organization.
As a result... all disasters occurred.
It's even scarier now.
Tony Stark uploaded his brain to see the Ultimate Iron Man on the big screen.
Look again at the blue data brain graphic in the lab.
asphyxia.
The steel factory in Sirkaria really makes Happy feel suffocated.
Not just him, but also Rhodes.
"Didn't you arrange it for me?!"
"After New York is gone, General Ross is also gone. I came to Silkaria for emergency refuge, that's what I said."
"I can't go back anyway."
Rhodes' face was still dark. Pepper had contacted him before and wanted him to talk to Tony in the lab.
It was obvious that the conversation was not understood.
And now Tony, who is trapped in a certain thinking cycle, is trying to change something on his own.
Still very obvious.
A more terrifying war weapon than the Jericho missile invented in the past was born.
Iron Man Armor.
And the ultimate Iron Man who rules over all Iron Man armors, the crazy steel monster who wants to send all humans around the world into a world of 0 and 1!
…
"I seem to have done something wrong again."
It's hard to imagine Tony Stark saying that.
but……
Feeling the hole he had made on the back of his head, that chilly yet numb and painful feeling.
Maybe……
It was really impulsive to perform a craniotomy on my genius brain.
"very lucky."
"With Stark's genius, let's celebrate Mr. Stark's survival."
The doctor made a summary, then packed up and prepared to leave.
It is clear.
Tony didn't want to cooperate with the in-depth examination, and the things here were not something she could participate in.
"Praise for your good fortune, Mr. Stark."
These were the last words she left.
Lucky.
Yes, what a great word.
Tony lay on his back, looking at his friends and then focusing on Pepper.
"Tony, why are you so rash."
This was the first complete sentence Pepper said after Tony woke up.
"I'm very sorry."
"No, you don't need to apologize to me, or in other words, you have already told me before."
"I just want to tell you that there are more people out there who need you."
Pepper pointed at the door of the laboratory, although it was dark there and there was nothing except rocks shattered by explosives.
But Tony knew what she was going to say.
"Sirkaria is experiencing a disaster."
"Ultimate Iron Man used all the resources to create an Iron Man Legion to promote global war!"
"Now... the Iron Man has flown away, and everything in this country is gone."
Pepper stood up, turned and walked outside.
"We're in a lot of trouble."
"Little pepper..."
Tony got off the operating table with Happy's help. He subconsciously wanted to keep Pepper.
"Pepper."
"Actually, you don't need to be so anxious. My uncle has already dealt with the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. as prime minister."
"Maybe you should stay with him, I mean...Tony just woke up."
Silver caught up with Pepper in two steps and said with a little hesitation.
"No."
Pepper raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes slightly, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
But she quickly regained her composure.
"I have an extremely large resource budget to organize, covering all of Silkaria."
"besides……"
"Tony wakes up and informs Miss Whitney that I will go receive her."
Pepper seems to have regained the appearance of a professional CEO.
Every thing and every plan is carried out in an orderly manner.
But……
This made Silver feel a little weird.
"Forehead……"
"Everything is fine, I will let my people cooperate with you."
Silver scratched his hair, with a somewhat irritated expression on his face.
"So, your Mr. Stark..."
As women, or as best friends, Silver understood Pepper's decision.
"We're fucked."
Yes.
it's over.
Ever since Tony woke up safely, Pepper thought it was time to end.
The matter of the Ultimate Ironman was not something she had to consider.
This nightmare created by genius should be left to the genius to solve the problem on his own.
However.
Pepper has never loved a superhero who wants to save the world and plan the future of the world.
Moreover.
What he is doing now cannot be said to be a superhero.
It's just super troublesome.
Pepper loves Tony Stark, just the person he is.
But nothing.
This person is holding himself in the laboratory, even drilling a hole in his own brain, to do something for the "future".
Pepper felt like she couldn't bear it.
That being the case.
It is better to return to the previous relationship.
"I work for him, and he pays me wages, and the premise of all this is that we will not go bankrupt after this time."
"Bankruptcy?!"
Silver seemed to have heard a funny joke.
"Who doesn't know that Stark Group has countless money? Wow, the floor is paved with gold bricks!"
"That was before, and now...the wealth and resources of the entire Silkaria have all disappeared."
Pepper flipped through the documents in her hand, with an ugly expression on her face, and sighed.
"I'm afraid this vulnerability is ridiculously large, Silver."
Pepper looked at Silver Sable with a strange look.
She didn't know what to say...but it was the biggest possibility at the moment.
This country is finished.
Pepper knew that it meant little to her and Silver.
It involves war trends, rapid explosions, hiring and being hired, assassination and being assassinated.
Silver was familiar.
But if we talk about the country's progress, the situation in Silkaria, etc.
This woman, Silver Sable, is not at all meant to think about this.
At this moment.
Pepper just made a rough calculation, and she knew it was not just Pepper Industries in her name.
Even this country has reached a crisis situation of bankruptcy.
but……
Silver Sable doesn't understand. Doesn't the President of Sirkaria also understand? !
Are all the staff at Silkaria freeloaders? !
What about the think tank? !
What gave them such confidence? The whole nation's crazy support for the steel factory, which led to what it is today.
What about risk aversion? !
This is totally not what a normal country should do.
Yes.
Little Pepper couldn't understand why Silver Sable's uncle was so indifferent.
It brought the country to the brink of collapse.
"Why on earth?!"
Pepper and Silver left the underground laboratory, and Pepper was thinking all the way.
What is it that everyone is ignoring? !
…
Dimitri Fortunov, this is really a tongue-in-cheek name.
but……
This identity is very pleasing.
prince.
Belongs to the orthodox heir of the ancient dynasty of Latvinia next door.
"The genius in the laboratory has woken up, haha, the genius of mankind."
Dark room.
By the window, the cunning demon was drinking whiskey, and Naraku was getting more and more up to date.
This is Naraku's small territory, located in the back room of the room.
It's Sesshomaru's pet peeve, Suzu!
No……
This little girl is not the focus now, and even Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are not the focus now.
"The focus is on this country."
"It's a beautiful work of genius that takes a lot of people from disappointment to despair."
Naraku's praise.
The fog that permeates Silkaria, the great changes brought about by the Ultimate Iron Man.
From the enthusiasm of people facing the continuous flow of Iron Man armor flying out of the steel factory.
After all the iron men disappeared, that kind of confusion.
And the emptiness inside.
"It's so good, so delicious. This is simply the monsters' favorite snack."
"ha."
Naraku smiled.
He leaned against the window edge and looked at the human country from a distance.
The high-end whiskey in his hand was poured down like water.
Behind Naraku, there was a blond female doctor in the living room.
"Dear Mr. Prince, your routine inspection is over."
Familiar voice.
It was in the underground laboratory before, checking Tony Stark's physical condition.
Invited by Silver Sable, he is the best doctor in Silkaria and a doctor in the field of minimally invasive medicine.
And now.
She stood in front of Naraku, packing her medical box bit by bit.
Under the light outside the window, her eyes were slightly red.
no doubt.
A human being who has been controlled by a demon.
But for Naraku, she is not special, because there are already countless people in Silkaria controlled by demons.
For example.
Silver's uncle, Mr. Prime Minister of Sirkaria.
Now.
The blond female doctor brought Naraku the most intuitive first-hand information.
"Tony Stark."
"The most outstanding weapons manufacturer, he used his own brain to create another version of himself."
Naraku smiled.
He has already given a fragment of the Shikon Tama to Tony Stark.
He just waited.
He couldn't wait to see what the genius Tony could do.
if……
For such a guy to become a youkai, Naraku must be very satisfied.
"Gudongdong."
"The good food will be served last, but I'm a little greedy now."
Naraku drank wine.
It's like tasting everything in this country. The current Sirkaria is much better than before.
And the other side of the coastline.
His current disguise as a prince has not been accepted by the country of Latvinia.
"Doom the Dictator."
When it comes to Latvinia, the name is absolutely unavoidable.
"What exactly did you do with my four soul fragments? Even from such a distance, I can see the coquettish pink light."
In the sight of the demon.
Silkaria is being enveloped by a rising black aura.
And on the other side of the sea.
The neighboring country not far away from this country has a faint purple and pink light.
The Jade of Four Souls.
Some kind of instrument, some kind of power, amplified the power of the four soul jade fragments.
"This new world is so fun. I'm not in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry."
Naraku muttered in a low voice, but his speaking speed became faster and faster.
Snapped!
The whiskey bottle fell to the ground and exploded into pieces.
"Lakyo!"
"You have to wait for me in hell!!"
…
in the room.
Naraku's actions did not affect the female doctor at all. She was like a puppet. After packing her things, she stood silently.
"It should be today."
Naraku said as he stepped on the wool blanket and went to the wine cabinet nearby to get a new bottle of whiskey.
Bo.
Twist off the lid and pour it upside down as casually as watering flowers.
"Yes."
"Countess Karkov, the quarterly physical examination is today."
She was talking about Countess Katarina Karkov, the former ruler of Silkaria.
The past tyrants of this country belong to the present losers.
After being defeated by the wild battle group led by Silver Sable.
He has been under house arrest in a gorgeous manor, living like a prisoner.
"That's really a coincidence."
Naraku shook his head, he liked coincidences.
The cunning demon walked up to the female doctor and lifted her chin with one finger.
The red light in his pupils became more and more obvious, Naraku said slowly.
"You are to see the countess as usual, and then..."
"Tell her that you got a beautiful jewelry by chance."
In Naraku's hand, a gemstone glowing with pink light appeared.
"It's called the Four Souls Jade, and it's said that it can make all wishes come true."
"The Countess will love it!"
