Chapter 2188
Tony distorted the reality, and after leaving a clone in the universe who couldn't tell the real from the fake, he quietly returned to the earth.
Two more times... extreme use of the power of the Reality and Mind Stones, which cost him something he didn't want to pay. And in the end, this was what he wanted most, which was time.
yes, time. Even though he hated Smith Zhou so much, he even said that he wanted to eat his flesh raw. But in his heart, there are still more important things to do than this.
He wants to restore the tragedies that happened in this world, he wants to save what he lost, and everything that he didn't have time to protect. It can be said that when he saw in his dream that all the tragedies had already happened and everything was irreparable, this had become the only motivation for him to collect all six infinite gems.
Revenge, that can be later. But he didn't want to delay this kind of thing in the slightest. Of course, he also knows that everything he wants to change and reverse is precisely the result of Smith Zhou's hard work and years of planning, so no matter what, he will not let himself use the power of the Infinity Stone to rewrite all of this.
Defeating him, since it is no longer feasible. Then leaving him aside and buying yourself a precious opportunity became the only feasible way.
I'm sorry Carol for saying that though. But this is also an option. After all, she is only one person, and it is only right and proper to sacrifice the few for the benefit of the many. And to some extent, Tony also has a reason for not taking her seriously.
He didn't believe that when Thanos attacked the earth with great fanfare, Carol would not have heard the wind. And since she didn't make any statement at that time, she chose to remain silent. So now, it's no wonder that she doesn't treat her as a person.
People, in the end, have to pay the price for their choices. And the current situation is nothing more than her repayment for what she owed in the past.
It was her luck to survive. And if she can't, then she has finally done a good deed and made a contribution to her hometown. Even if you can only be an unknown hero, it is better than being a traitor.
Thinking about it in his heart, Tony has slowly opened his right hand towards the earth under his feet. And on the back of his hand, six infinity gemstones began to complement each other, competing to bloom with dazzling light.
Huge energy began to surge, and it was obviously a huge burden for Tony himself to control the Infinity Stones so completely and thoroughly for the first time. For a moment, his body that was completely made of energy began to swell as if he had been blown out, and more like a 10,000-watt light bulb that was electrified, his whole body also began to emit a dazzling light.
The facial features became blurred, and the human figure began to be a little loose. No matter from which angle you look at it, it doesn't look like a safe thing. And Tony himself knows that in front of such a powerful enough force, the root of his existence is gradually falling apart like a sand sculpture hit by waves.
The loss of humanity began to intensify. If this continues, even if he can continue to exist in this state,
I'm afraid that there will only be a simple body left, and it will no longer be Tony Stark himself. According to the nature of creatures seeking to survive, he should stop immediately at this moment. But what he wants now is not to live alone, he obviously has other needs. Therefore, he didn't have any scruples about it at all, but raised his right hand high, trying his best to release the power of the infinite gem.
In an instant, the tangled light of the gemstones turned into a colorful rainbow, shooting straight into the sky. And when this rainbow light surrounded the entire earth like a huge mask, everyone in this world who noticed this change was immediately shocked.
Those who are capable of noticing all this are the strongest standing on the peak of human beings, and it is precisely because they have a perception ability that far surpasses that of human beings, that they can feel more and more from this colorful rainbow light. The stock is majestic and vast, like an endless source of power.
Under this kind of power, even the proud and reserved ones among them will inevitably feel like a firefly is better than a bright moon. As for Tony, who was in control of this power and had no way of understanding his intentions, they naturally felt a great awe.
People were panicked, but they didn't dare to offend him in any way at this time. This is the same as ordinary wild beasts seeing a real fire-breathing dragon, even though they are afraid of the flames and worry that the flames will burn themselves. But in the face of the power and terror of the giant dragon, they still had to instinctively put on an appearance of being at the mercy of life and death.
Power has always been an insurmountable moat. If you can't reach the same level, you naturally don't even have the qualifications to intervene.
Counting the entire planet right now, the only people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Tony and stand at the same level are Zhou Yi and Smith Zhou. And now that Zhou Yi has entered another newborn universe, Smith Zhou is probably the only one who can stop him.
Although it is said that Smith Zhou is still outside the earth at this moment, it is naturally impossible for such a huge power fluctuation of the Infinity Stone to hide from his eyes. He had already realized that he had fallen into Tony's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. And no matter what Tony wants to do at the moment, it won't be good news for him if he puts on such a big battle.
He felt somewhat annoyed, but at this moment, he could only grab the skull that was smelted from Carol's body, and while annihilating her soul, he turned around and ran towards the earth.
He tried his best, and his speed was already at its peak. But with the vastness of the universe, even if he has the speed of light, it is difficult to turn back in a short time to stop Tony's actions. He could only watch helplessly as Tony propped up a mask that seemed to carry infinite power, enveloping the entire earth. And when he bumped into it head-on, the power of the Infinity Gem immediately started to attack him like an irritated and provocative beast.
He is not weak, but facing the Infinity Gem that is at the apex of this universe and is also the most direct to the source, he still can't deal with it with a destructive attitude like he did with Tony and Carroll before. The Infinity Gem doesn't play any tactical response and skill collision with you. If you want to break his counterattack, you have to completely overwhelm it in pure strength. And if you want to suppress the Infinity Stone in this kind of power competition, it is no different from suppressing the order of the entire universe.
Although Smith Zhou was powerful, he was not so powerful. Facing the demonstration of Infinity Stones, he could only retreat slightly. It's not that he really doesn't have the power to fight, but under the premise that the earth is now surrounded by it, he really can't be sure, if he really lets go and fight the Infinity Stone, will the whole world be destroyed? The earth has suffered from the catastrophe.
You must know that for him, the current earth is equivalent to all his chassis and hopes. It's all gone to such a point that he doesn't want to see any mistakes in any case. So he could only stop, and then opened his mouth to Tony in an extremely sullen and unwilling tone.
"Very well, Tony Stark, you have completely set me up! If your plan is for this moment, then I have to admit, you have succeeded. But, what's the use of it? Do you still want to use Can this power threaten me? It’s useless. I can tell you clearly that the general trend is over. Even if you really kill Steve and destroy Hydra now, you can’t change anything.”
"Everything is doomed. Everything you do will be useless!"
"Useless work?" The buzzing voice trembled in the atmosphere, it was the aftermath echo caused by energy fluctuations, and it was the only way Tony could express his intentions now. Although at this moment, he has already weakened all the emotions of being a human being, and even said that he almost can't remember who he is. However, he always kept in mind his mission and what he was doing now.
He obviously couldn't agree with Smith Zhou's statement that everything he did was useless. Therefore, he replied to him in an extremely indifferent and calm tone.
"If you knew exactly what kind of power I have, you shouldn't be so sure, Smith Zhou. This is the power of the Infinity Gem, and what it represents is infinite possibilities... including twisting And the possibility of changing all these established facts.”
"I'm not going to let the world become what it is today. If it's what it is, then I have to reverse it, reverse the damn past, and give it a second chance, a new future !"
"This is what I will want and do, and it will definitely not be useless!"
Tony's answer made Smith Zhou's heart tremble. At this moment, he had already guessed what Tony's intention was.
He wants to reverse the past, he wants to change history. And this is not just as simple as saving those innocent people, more importantly, he will burn his hard work over the years.
Those who died because of his plan, those who were used as sacrifices by him. Their death will no longer mean anything. The blood that flowed into rivers piled up into mountains of bones. These facts that have happened and caused will seem to cease to exist. The world will return to the same old way, and all the changes he made will be gone.
He was cursed and resented by thousands of people in vain. Even though his hands were stained with blood, the dream that had been painstakingly planned for thousands of years was completely beaten back to its original form at the moment it was about to come true. This was a fact he couldn't accept or tolerate, so he immediately looked at Tony with scarlet eyes, and launched the most violent attack without saying a word.
He opened a certain restriction in his body, and the power of millions of stars was poured into his body through the invisible door in his body, transformed into powerful mana by him, and then directly cast it on Tony with the magical power of mediating good fortune .
He didn't dare to go straight to the madness of the infinite gems, because breaking the earth also meant the end of all his dreams. He could only use this roundabout method to attack Tony, hoping to stop or even destroy him before he actually caused all this. However, although mediating good fortune is the supreme supernatural power, it is the supreme method that can modify and distort reality. But when facing the Reality Gem that also has this kind of power, it is no longer so unsolvable and irresistible.
Above the fate, it cannot be constructed by the intuitive reality. The most intense collision occurred between Smith Zhou's supernatural power and the power of the Reality Gem. Ordinary people can't detect all of this at all, but those guys with powerful abilities and talents can perceive a special change through a unique perspective.
They can feel that the basic order between heaven and earth, the laws of operation of all things, is unconsciously distorted and destroyed in this collision. Some established things suddenly changed into others, and some real existences also began to exist interlaced with those false creations. There are absurd things appearing invisible, and things are born and destroyed all the time. This kind of power really makes them daunting.
Based on their knowledge, they can hardly imagine what kind of power it is to be able to do such a thing. And thinking that the competition between the two might be related to their own destiny, no matter how big-hearted these people are, they will inevitably start to get nervous.
Life and death are tied to other people's thoughts, and this kind of thing is not pleasant in any case. But the worst thing is that they can't even understand the difference between victory and defeat.
The level of this kind of confrontation is too high-end, and it has exceeded the scope of their cognition. And only Smith Zhou knew that he was at a disadvantage in this competition.
Although the supernatural power of mediating good fortune is not under the power of the Reality Gem, the current situation is that he is not just fighting against a Reality Gem. Under Tony's will, the power of the six gems has been entangled and linked together, and he is basically fighting against all the infinite gems.
This level has exceeded a certain limit, even if it is him, it is impossible to forcefully overwhelm the situation while controlling the situation. He can't be desperate, because if he is desperate and makes the whole earth go wrong, then in the end he loses all and everything.
He glanced at his head and tail, of course he seemed a little helpless. But right now, Tony doesn't care much about his actions, because he has already started his final plan.
The world becomes static at this moment. Then, like a river flowing backwards, it reversed along the river course and track that had already flowed.
