Chapter 131: The Final Separation
At the time of the night approaching the early morning, Tony was debugging a new type of armor in the workshop in Stark Manor.
These two sets of armor were given as parting gifts by Tony, and he planned to let the Howards, who were leaving tomorrow, take them away.
Although Tony and his parents had a happy week, he never forgot what his parents would face after leaving.
"In this case, it should be fine." Tony looked at the debugged armor and picked up a cup of cold coffee on the table and drank it.
"Tony Stark."
Just as Tony was drinking coffee, a voice came from behind him.
Tony turned his head and looked over. The person who appeared in front of him was the Ancient One who had met him once in the dessert shop.
"Isn't this the Great Wizard? What are you doing here?" Tony greeted the Ancient One.
"I'm just here to remind you." Master Ancient One looked at the two armors beside Tony and said quietly: "These two mechanical creations do not conform to the era of your parents. You can't let them take them away."
"Why?" Tony concentrated and looked at Master Ancient One with some indignation.
"Su Heng said before that since my parents came to our current timeline, their original timeline has been separated from our timeline."
"In that case, the changes that occurred after they returned to that era will not affect our world at all."
Master Ancient One looked at the hysterical Tony and asked him quietly.
"Then do you want to guess, if there are any problems in the subsequent timelines of these two branches, who will solve them?"
""Tony was stunned.
"You don't think that if the timeline deviates, no one will deal with it, right?" Master Gu Yi continued, "If Su Heng doesn't take over, someone will come to correct the two worlds."
"You should know that they are not as easy to talk to as I am, and they only pursue results without asking about the process."
"If you don't want this mess to be so bad that Su Heng can't take it over, I advise you to give up your current idea."
"I know." Tony nodded silently.
"Well, I know it's okay." Master Gu Yi looked at the regret flashing in Tony's eyes, knowing that Tony did give up his idea, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the teleportation circle that appeared behind him.
"Wait!" Just as Master Gu Yi stepped into the teleportation circle, he suddenly heard Tony's shouting.
Master Gu Yi turned around.
"If I remember correctly, what you said just now is that my parents' era is not allowed to have technological products that do not belong to their era, right?"
Master Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and finally nodded: "Yes."
"Then if I use the science and technology of my father's era to make products, can they take them back?"
"Or in this case, the impact on that timeline will be smaller?"
"Interesting." Master Gu Yi looked at Tony, who suddenly became excited again, and a smile appeared on his face.
"If you want to think so, there is no problem."
Master Gu Yi knew that this was Tony's biggest concession.
For Tony, saving his parents' lives is the most important thing, since the modern technology armor cannot be taken back.
As long as he can save his parents' lives, Tony can make a technological product with the technology of the 1990s.
Although Master Gu Yi rarely communicated with Su Heng, in fact, Master Gu Yi paid a lot of attention to Su Heng.
Although the behavior of Master Gu Yi was to help Su Heng reduce the difficulty of dealing with the problems in the two timelines in the future, he did not tell Su Heng about it.
Because Master Gu Yi knew that if Su Heng really knew about it, that guy might instigate Tony to bring more modern technology products to the Howards.
As for what might happen in the future, it was never within Su Heng's psychological expectations.
After all, in another timeline, the future Master Gu Yi had already told his present self what Su Heng did in that timeline.
That was many times worse than what Su Heng did in this timeline.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that the future Master Gu Yi's methods of teaching the future Su Heng were too radical.
So in this timeline, Master Gu Yi would take a softer attitude towards Su Heng.
Master Gu Yi looked at Tony, who was enlightened and began to reassemble the armor. As he waved his hand, the teleportation circle gradually closed.
The next day, around noon, Tony looked at the Howards sitting in the car, and Rogers looked at Peggy Carter who was holding his arm.
"I hope the little gift I gave you can help you two get through this difficult time." Tony looked at the Howards with some concern.
"Don't worry, kid." Howard was not as pessimistic as Tony. He waved to Pepper behind Tony and said to Tony with a smile: "Since I can come to this world and see your growth, it means that you in that world can grow up to be the same person as you even without us."
"And I also saw my files in SHIELD during this period." Howard pointed to his head: "Don't forget, your father is also a top scientist. Before the crisis, I may not be able to help your mother through the difficulties."
On the other side, Peggy Carter touched Rogers' face with some distress.
"I'm sorry, Rogers, you still have to rely on yourself in the next few days."
"It's okay, Peggy." Rogers held Peggy Carter's hand: "At least I fulfilled the agreement between us."
"Rogers."
The two hugged each other tightly and told each other their last heartfelt words.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The bell at noon rang in everyone's ears.
"Goodbye, Rogers!"
"Goodbye, Tony!"
The Howards sat in the car they drove when they appeared, and Peggy Carter stood beside Rogers.
The figures of the three people and the car gradually became illusory when the bell rang, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tony looked at the Howards who disappeared, and the space that had been gradually filled up these days seemed to become empty again at this moment.
"Tony." Pepper noticed Tony's emotional changes, walked forward and gently held his hand.
"At least your regret has been resolved, right?"
On the clock tower at the top of New York's Times Square, Master Gu Yi looked at the time card that Su Heng had subdued in his hand.
"Very good power." Master Gu Yi praised in a low voice, then set his sights on a certain place in the distance, and then asked Su Heng.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be another similar card in this world, right?"
"Yeah." Su Heng stood on the top of the tower, gently turning the time card with his fingers, and answered Master Gu Yi's question: "There is another card that can reverse time and go back to the past."
"Hmm?" Master Gu Yi looked at Su Heng in confusion: "Isn't that the same power as the card you have now?"
"Yes, according to common sense"
Su Heng looked at the smile on the corner of the Time Card's mouth on the front of the Clow Card, took out the card he had captured before, and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
"According to common sense, the ability of the Time Card should not be so detailed for the target, and it should usually affect a certain area."
"But this time the Time Card can be so accurate that it can directly travel through time for a single person or object."
"I have a hunch that these Clow Cards of mine may be undergoing some changes that I don't know about."
As Su Heng said this, the Clow Cards that he had already subdued in his body trembled slightly at this moment.
The quiet dessert shop made Su Heng yawn loudly while sitting at the bar with nothing to do.
"Ying!"
But at this moment, Ganpai flew out of the bakery anxiously, pulling Su Heng's collar vigorously, as if he wanted to take him somewhere.
"What's wrong?" Su Heng looked at Ganpai's little face, which turned red because of pulling his collar, puzzled, and stood up puzzledly, and went to the bakery under Ganpai's guidance.
In the bakery, Ganpai pointed pitifully at the shelf where the raw materials were stored. At this time, the shelf was empty. Obviously, there was nothing that could be made into desserts.
"Ah." Su Heng patted his head and suddenly realized.
"I have been idle for too long. I even forgot to re-order the raw materials."
"But if I order online now," Su Heng took out his mobile phone and looked at the time it would take for the order to be delivered. Then he looked at Ganpai's pitiful eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, then let's go out and purchase the raw materials in person for the first time in a long time!"
"Ying!" Ganpai raised his little fist excitedly.
Ganpai sat on Su Heng's shoulder. After locking the door of the dessert shop, he went to the supermarket where he bought the raw materials for desserts for the first time in a long time.
"Speaking of which, I haven't walked this road for a long time."
Su Heng said to Ganpai on his shoulder.
Ganpai, whose figure was covered by the phantom card, nodded obediently.
Before Su Heng conquered Ganpai and obtained the dessert chef certificate, Su Heng had not yet rented the dessert shop outside Zhongcheng Middle School, and sold desserts entirely on a human-powered tricycle.
At that time, Su Heng could not afford online shopping at all, and could only walk to the raw material supermarket of the dessert shop to purchase raw materials like today.
"Thinking about it now, that time is actually quite memorable." Su Heng's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"Especially here." Su Heng looked at a nearby alley, and the figure of Jianpai suddenly appeared on his waist.
"Do you remember?" Su Heng gently touched the hilt of Jianpai, and said with a low smile: "You almost killed me at that time."
Perhaps out of nostalgia, Su Heng couldn't help but walk towards the alley again.
The sky, I don't know when it got dark.
Su Heng felt the sudden changes around him, and the emergence of the time card enveloped Su Heng, preventing this inexplicable change from affecting him.
"Oh?" Su Heng touched the hilt of the sword, watching the alley in front of him begin to change rapidly.
From day to night, and then to day again, from cloudy to snowy.
Finally, the changes in the alley began to slow down.
Back to a night that Su Heng was too familiar with.
"According to the Daily Bugle, there are signs that many homeless people have been slashed at night in New York."
"According to the reporter's investigation, these homeless people were sleeping in the alleys and were then slashed by an unknown mysterious man holding a sword."
"Now the New York police have taken over the case and warned many New Yorkers to try not to walk into the alleys at night in the near future. If you encounter an accident, please call the police in time. The police on duty at night will rush to the scene of the report as soon as possible."
As the hoarse report from the radio above the corridor came, Su Heng, who looked a little immature, was walking in an alley holding a thick Craw Grimoire.
This was the third day that he had accepted the financial assistance from Sheriff Stacy. Naturally, there would be no gain if he lived off his wealth.
Su Heng knew that if he didn't find a job to support himself quickly, he might face the embarrassment of the past few days again.
As for why Su Heng appeared in this alley.
That was exactly what the Daily Bugle reported before.
According to Su Heng's judgment, the guy who wounded people with a knife might be the incarnation of the Clow Card.
Su Heng knew that although he had little fighting power, he still wanted to try his luck. What if he could be like a certain first-generation cute king and the Clow Cards would come to pay homage?
Although he said so, Su Heng was actually very nervous.
After all, according to the description in the report, if it was really a Clow Card, it should be a Clow Card with extremely strong lethality.
If it was not a Clow Card, then Su Heng might really be in big trouble this time.
For a while, Su Heng actually began to regret his careless behavior.
"Maybe I should go back?" Su Heng stood in the alley, looking at the empty alley, and swallowed his saliva with some worry.
Wow——
But at this moment, a sound of metal scratching the wall sounded from behind Su Heng. The coldness made Su Heng stiffen his body, and the expression on his face was like crying and laughing.
