Chapter 2179
The worldwide torrential rain controlled by Ultron lasted for a whole day and night. And when the rainstorm stopped and the clouds dissipated, the entire sky seemed to become brighter than ever.
In the dark night, countless stars can be seen dotted in it. The second southern gate of Centaurus hangs high in the sky, and Canopus in the Carina is shining the most dazzling light in the Carina. And Sirius, the brightest of the stars, never seemed so bright as it was today, so that all the other stars began to appear dim.
However, even Sirius is not the most eye-catching one. A shooting star came from the depths of the Milky Way, and its magnificent light became more and more dazzling, so that it almost covered the entire sky in an instant.
This is definitely a spectacle in the history of astronomy. If this world is still normal, there will definitely be countless people who are amazed by such a scene. However, it is a pity that human beings are facing an extremely difficult test at this moment. All their thoughts can only be placed on survival, and they have no leisure to take care of other places.
Of course, not everyone is like that. For example, the gods entrenched on the earth at this moment, they are looking up at the shining star in the sky, and are shocked by the power it radiates.
When life has reached their level, the way of perception is no longer as simple as that of ordinary human beings who simply rely on seeing and hearing. What they perceive is the fluctuation of power, the kind of power that interferes with the trajectory of the world itself. What is certain is that the power represented by this meteor is undoubtedly powerful. The stars are involved by him, the space is shaken by him, the gods even perceive that the long river of time is disordered because of him, and the number of destiny begins to change because of it. Such a power seems to be beyond their imagination. .
What the hell is this? The gods felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and their hearts were full of vigilance. And even characters like Zhou Yi and Smith Zhou couldn't help but pay attention to Bet.
They also noticed the specialness of this star. It is even said that they have already noticed that this is not a star, but just the arrival of a powerful existence. Such an existence, at such a time, chooses to come to the earth, no matter from which angle you look at it, it will only be a bad person. Regardless of whether it was Zhou Yi, who no longer wanted to see more bloodshed and sacrifices, or Smith Zhou, whose plan for a thousand years was only a step away, they were all unwilling to see any spoilers entering at this time.
So they also looked at each other tacitly. One of them punched the meteor through the void with a punch that distorted the void, and the other directly released a destructive light that disintegrated everything in the direction of the meteor.
The two sides shot at the same time, and the power was so great that it could almost penetrate the real planet and shatter the stars. However, facing the meteor that suddenly flew from the depths of the starry sky, such an attack did not work. Even if he couldn't even make him stagnate for a little bit, he was already annihilated by the shining light around him and became invisible.
It was so powerful that Zhou Yi and the two were instantly moved. And before they came up with follow-up methods, the meteor's trajectory changed, and it flew towards the interior of the earth.
It is not appropriate to say that it is falling. Because after reaching a certain distance, everyone can clearly see that this is not a meteor, but a spaceship wrapped in brilliance. The speed of this spacecraft is naturally extremely fast, and it has penetrated from the periphery of the solar system to the interior of the earth in an instant. However, this does not seem to be the speed of the spaceship itself, but simply under the forcible lift of some force, it has such a rapidity.
It's very strange, but the spaceship itself can almost prove his identity as an extraterrestrial visitor. And for Smith Zhou, who claims to be the master of the earth, he doesn't welcome this unexpected guest at all.
Glancing at Zhou Yi, I saw confusion and indifference in his eyes. Smith Zhou didn't hesitate any longer, and stretched out his hand to the spaceship again.
The power of the five elements gathered in his hands, and using magic, he turned the five elements upside down, and the order of the elements that made up things collapsed in an instant. And this effect on the real thing should be like pulling out a crucial key in the card tower, this thing should be instantly annihilated. However, a certain powerful force isolated his spells, making his methods unable to work on this spaceship at all.
It landed smoothly and opened the hatch. And in the stunned eyes of both Smith Zhou and Zhou Yi, Tony Stark walked out of it slowly.
Although the image of Tony at this moment is different from what people have imagined in the past. But as friends and rivals for many years, Zhou Yi and the others recognized his identity immediately. And it was precisely because they recognized his identity that they were even more shocked by Tony's change at the moment.
At this moment, Tony, from a certain point of view, has already broken away from the category of biology. Because from his body, you can no longer see the slightest bit of biological characteristics. He no longer has the basic organizational structure of flesh and blood, bones, and even cells. At this moment, he is not so much a person, but a group of human-shaped flames, rays of light, and even a crystallization of pure energy.
Miraculous, even weird. This is not a normal situation, even if it is the sublimation of human beings to gods, it should not be so pure. This is already a bit too pure, and it even makes people start to doubt how he maintains himself in this change and maintains the consciousness of the person named Tony Stark.
Commonly speaking, shouldn't it be dissipated in the sublimation of energy? It's like a person jumping into the sun, shouldn't he just disappear into nothing?
This is of course puzzling. But Zhou Yi sensed a trace of familiar energy from Tony at this moment. That's the power of the Infinity Stones.
Power, soul, mind, space, time, reality, except for the self-gem that represents the Nemesis, the other infinity stones all appeared on Tony's body, and they were all embedded in the only glove in his right hand that had an entity.
There is no doubt that this is an unbelievable fact. Because as one of the strong men who used to hold these gems, Zhou Yi understands better than anyone else that the pickiness of infinite gems has gone berserk.
It is not a power that the weak can drive. Looking at the entire universe, there have always been very few people who can tame this gem with their own strength. And it is almost impossible to control the power of multiple or even all gems.
Unless someone is as strong as Thanos, ordinary people will only be turned into ashes by the violent power of the gems even if they hold them.
Zhou Yi knew Tony well. He knew very well that no matter what kind of adventures Tony had, he was only a human after all. And the limit of human beings is there, and it is definitely not a level that can resist the backlash of the infinite gem power. But now, he has mastered this power. This in itself could be considered a miracle.
Of course, this miracle also has a price. Tony's situation at the moment is undoubtedly the best proof. His reborn appearance is by no means a good thing, and even speaking, it is likely to be a symbol of surpassing the limit or even breaking the limit.
That's not a good thing, because it's like filling a jar that can only hold so much beyond its limit. The pressure on the tank itself is that great, and once the pressure it carries exceeds its limit, it is possible at any time that it will be broken by the pressure in the next second, and then fall apart.
Putting it on a jar will mean it breaks to pieces, but putting it on a human being will kill him instantly from the pressure without even a shred of redemption. Especially in Tony's current situation, Zhou Yi couldn't even imagine what it would be like when the inner pressure he was under exploded.
Zhou Yi has no time to think about where Tony found these six gems. All he can think about now is, what exactly is Tony relying on to persevere, to bear all this but not be wiped out by this power? This question was just born, and Zhou Yi already had an answer in his heart. And this answer made him ashamed, and he even felt ashamed to face this old friend.
At this moment, Tony may also perceive the existence of Zhou Yi, but now he has no intention of paying attention to Zhou Yi at all.
Just as Zhou Yi noticed, Tony at this moment has indeed reached the verge of exhaustion. Although his aptitude is indeed extraordinary, such aptitude is already stretched in front of two infinite gems, let alone the power of six gems gathered together.
It is very clear that that is indeed not the strength he can bear. So much so that when he forcibly glued the six pieces together, the power of the gems immediately ate back his body, turning his body into nothingness in an instant.
This is a fatal situation, because the rage of that power and the pain that penetrates into the soul are enough to completely wipe out any person from body to soul and even consciousness. For those who cannot bear the power of gemstones, there shouldn't be any flukes or exceptions in this situation. However, Tony found an opportunity from it, and then created a miracle.
He knew very well that his body could not bear the force. So he simply gave up his efforts to maintain his body.
Let the body be destroyed and turned into nothingness. And before that, he used the power of the gem itself to change the established ending.
Using the Reality Gem to modify the limitation that one's own existence must rely on this body to exist, and then using the Soul and Mind Gem to continuously maintain one's fragile consciousness and soul.
He told himself over and over again that he must not fall down at this time, and he still had things to do. And what this brought about was that his consciousness became stronger than ever under the influence of the gem, and his soul was also preserved under the influence of the soul gem.
Perhaps in terms of results, this is not perfect. But this more or less gave him the opportunity to control the infinite gems. And this opportunity is something that he can't give up no matter what. He tossed and turned countless times, and couldn't sleep at night, because he simply didn't have the strength to protect his wife and children, and everything he cherished. He could only watch helplessly, watching them being played with like dolls, watching them being betrayed, pained and killed step by step. In the final analysis, this is because he lacks strength.
If he has power, he can protect them from harm; if he has power, he can prevent all these bad things from happening; if he has power, he can reverse everything.
He has seen everything that happened in his dream with his own eyes, and he already knows that he has lost the most precious thing in his life. No matter how much he couldn't accept this reality, no matter how much pain he had, what he couldn't change was that everything had already happened, and he didn't have time to stop it.
remorse? Blame yourself? This is a matter of course. It's just that he doesn't have time to immerse himself in it now. There is still something he can do, and there is still a way he can redeem it. Therefore, after obtaining this power, he immediately flew towards the direction of the earth.
Time, space, and the power of the Infinity Stone allowed him to travel nearly infinite distances in a very short amount of time. And when he finally returned to the earth and re-stepped into what he thought was his homeland, an incomprehensible emotion still couldn't help flooding his consciousness.
It was hard for him to describe what it was like. There are too many fears, hesitation, and pains, making it impossible for him to distinguish. After all, he is no longer a complete existence, and many things that humans should have have inevitably been lost from him. But he always remembered that his wife was on this land, and so was his son.
"Maria Frank"
With the vibration of energy, this kind of sound that was close to a murmur, but seemed extremely stiff, came out from his body. When Tony stepped out, he had already crossed the boundary of space, and came straight to his home that had been reduced to ruins.
Under the ruined walls, his wife and son were buried. He understood this, so after closing his eyes in pain, he immediately stretched out his hand in front of him trembling.
The power of the Reality Gem restored those ruins to their original state in an instant, as if they had never been attacked at all, and the house became what he had dreamed of. It's just a pity that the power of the reality gem can only change matter, but it cannot restore the lost soul. And his wife and son all died under the curse of the gods, even if they had the power of the soul gem, it would not help at all.
This is a tragedy, as if you have infinite wealth, but the monstrous power cannot stop the passing of time and the passing of your lover. Although Tony has power at this moment, he can't bring his wife and children back to life. He could only watch helplessly as a woman exactly like his wife grinned at him like a female animal while protecting the body of her son behind her. And after he approached step by step, the woman immediately rushed towards him like a crazy beast.
The Maria clone with an alloy body is indeed powerful. But it is completely impossible to be Tony's opponent with the power of infinite gems. He just stretched out his hand a little, and he has already controlled the clone Maria. And looking at this woman who is exactly like his wife, Tony just said hoarsely.
"Are you still her"
The power of the Reality Gem caused the body of the clone Maria to begin to disintegrate, but this did not seem to cause her any pain. She was just confused, and with a pair of ignorant eyes, she gradually disappeared into the nothingness.
In a trance, Tony seemed to hear Maria calling to him. And this just made him close his eyes in pain, and then hugged his son's body into his arms forcefully.
He can't cry anymore, but that doesn't mean he won't be sad, won't be in pain. Facing Frank, recalling what he had seen in his dream about what he had done desperately, Tony could only touch his face over and over again, and then swore in a deep voice.
"Wait for me, Frank. I'll get you back. You, and Maria, I'll save you. Whatever it takes, I swear!"
