Chapter 243: Upside-Down Heaven
Fury has reached the point of despair.
The assassins are coming with extraordinary force, and reinforcements are constantly coming here.
Fury's eyes lit up instantly. He knew the people who came. They were all SHIELD family members!
"It's my turn!"
He suddenly became energetic and took out a machine gun from the back seat, preparing to cooperate with the group of agents inside and outside to kill all the assassins.
Reinforcements were getting closer.
Fury opened the car door, lifted up his windbreaker, held up a machine gun, and stepped out of the car with great pride, ready to kill.
Then he heard excited shouts in the distance.
"Nick Fury is there!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"This is my credit!"
What's more, some of them have already pulled out their guns and are ready to shoot without saying any more nonsense.
Seeing this scene, Fury's expression did not change at all. He returned to the car without hesitation and closed the door. The whole action was as smooth as rewinding the tape.
After confirming that the car door was closed, his expression finally changed.
"It's over!!!"
Fury clenched his fists tightly, "How come these beasts all betrayed you!"
SHIELD treats them well, and this is how they repay them?
No, Fury will never die here!
He has one last resort!
The next second, Fury took out the magic book from the Owl School from his arms. He didn't have time to write, so he shouted directly at the cover.
"Master Katum! Save me!"
…
In Stark Manor, Tony Stark has just finished interviewing Pepper Potts.
Pepper still had a job and didn't stay long.
After the interview just now, Tony was relieved. Pepper had no relatives named Howard Potts, so he and she could not be related by blood.
At this moment, Jarvis's voice sounded in his ears.
"Sir, the program has been cracked."
"Um?"
Tony was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jarvis was talking about the data he copied from the Eastern European manor.
There was a complex encryption system on it. I brought it back and dumped it on Jarvis.
"let me see."
Tony clicked on the holographic image, and the encrypted data appeared in front of him.
He browsed slowly, and as more and more secrets were revealed, Tony's expression became more solemn.
"etc!"
By the end, Tony had an expression that couldn't believe his eyes.
"What is this!"
In Baron Strucker's information, the name of a certain organization appears repeatedly - Hydra.
In Hydra's plan, two names have been mentioned.
Slubu and Mutuka.
For some reason, Tony immediately thought of Bruce and Katum.
These two pairs of names are completely opposite.
Tony's eyes widened and he continued to browse the information, wanting to see what kind of secrets were involved behind these two names.
However, it was too late. At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Warning! Warning!"
Jarvis's voice suddenly became extremely anxious, and his voice was mixed with the noise of electricity.
Tony reacted extremely quickly. He immediately pressed the button on his watch, and a mechanical owl flew over, turned into countless nanoparticles, and attired itself on Stark.
The blood-bordered suit was activated, and Iron Man's eyes lit up with blue light.
But the next second, this blue was covered with red.
"warn……"
Jarvis's voice slowly died down.
Then, a slightly crazy-sounding voice sounded in Tony's ears.
"Tony Stark, born in 1970." The voice said.
"Who are you?"
Tony couldn't move at this time, he was completely trapped in the suit.
The voice barely encountered any obstacles before seizing control of the Iron Suit.
"Who am I? You probably haven't heard of me even if I told you."
Suddenly, a holographic face made of flashing green lines appeared in front of Tony.
The face was fat, bald and looked a little funny.
"My name is Arnim Zola," said the face, "a man who has been forgotten by the world."
"No, I know who you are."
Unexpectedly, Tony recognized him, "You were a member of Hydra during World War II and died many years ago."
"Dead? Yes, that's right."
Dr. Zola's big holographic face yawned, "But the death of the physical body is another new life for me.
"In 1972, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Science could no longer save my body, but my mind was worth saving. It is stored in a database two hundred thousand feet long."
"Are you worthy?" Tony raised an eyebrow and said, "My father didn't even save his brain."
"You mean Howard Stark, right?" Zola sneered, "He is not a genius, he is just a businessman."
"Take back what you said!" Tony's tone became extremely cold.
"Don't be so serious." Dr. Zola said casually, "Howard can't do it, and you are the same. You claim to be a genius, but in fact you are just a frog in the well. You have never seen the real sky in your life."
"you!"
Tony was really offended, and he wanted to yell, but at this time, Dr. Zola interrupted him.
"You don't believe me after I told you." Zola shook his head and said, "Well, let me show you what a true genius is."
At this moment, the world in Tony's eyes changed. The originally material world turned into a green data stream, all composed of zeros and ones.
Tony stood among them, the suit on his body had disappeared, and he was free again.
The ground in front of him bulged up and turned into a short, fat human form, which was Dr. Zola.
"Welcome to my world."
Dr. Zola said, "A world that is completely under my control and has been built since 1946."
1946 was a very special time. It was the year after the end of World War II and the year the computer was invented.
"In this world, I have been executing a special plan."
Zola stretched out her hand and waved it casually. The data flow was instantly disrupted, and countless 0s and 1s began to gather together.
They form a human form and slowly become real.
The third person in this green data world appears.
Tony's pupils shrank, how could he not recognize this person.
His father, Howard Stark!
When Howard appeared, he was obviously a little confused about the situation and was still looking around. It wasn't until he saw Tony and Zola that his face suddenly became serious.
"Zora?"
He named the man who, once upon a time, had been tit-for-tat enemies.
Then, Howard asked in a deep voice: "Potts, why are you with Zola?"
Tony didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Zola nudged Tony with her elbow: "Look, the father you have always regarded as your idol is just a toy that I can create at will."
Toy?
This word completely touched Tony's skin, and he suddenly became violent, throwing Dr. Zola to the ground, grabbing his short and thick neck, and exerting all his strength.
"Don't insult my father!" Tony said hysterically.
His eyes were red at this time, like an out-of-control beast.
Zola was pinched tightly by him, but she didn't panic at all. She just sighed softly, and her body turned into a stream of data, slipped away from Tony's hands, and then reunited somewhere else.
On the other side, Howard stood there blankly. He heard Tony's roar just now.
"Father?"
Howard stared at Tony's face carefully, and gradually, this face began to overlap with a certain young face in his memory.
"Are you Tony?"
He woke up as if from a dream, "You are Tony!"
Howard came to Tony, helped him up, and repeatedly confirmed the other person's identity, but he couldn't figure it out.
"But why do you look exactly like Potts?"
Tony himself didn't know the answer to this.
But Dr. Zola knew, and he laughed and said, "Because Tony is Potts, and Potts is Tony!"
"What?" The person who was most surprised by this sentence was Tony himself.
"I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows the truth."
Dr. Zola smiled and sighed, "In 1970, two years before my death, a man found me and told me an algorithm, which was enough to create a new world!
"I saved my mind until now just for this time!"
At this time?
Tony had no idea what the other person was talking about, but he would soon find out.
"Uhhh!!!"
A sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and Tony's whole body was wrapped in pain. He fell to the ground, and his chest rose up unconsciously, as if something was about to come out.
No, not like that!
At the wound on Tony's chest where the Ark Reactor was installed, a digitized hand stretched out from his body.
Then the shoulders, body, head...
Tony just watched helplessly as a person emerged completely from his chest and stood in front of him.
It was a boy with pale skin, with countless suture marks on his body.
"So slow."
The boy waved his hands and said expressionlessly, "Do you know how long I've been waiting?"
"Mr. Srubb." Zola said with a smile on her face, "We finally meet again, you don't know how happy I am!"
"What about me? Aren't you happy to see me?"
Suddenly, a sharp voice came out.
Slub opened his chest, and on his chest, an owl's face was stitched.
"Mr. Mutuka!" Zola's apologetic smile deepened, "Of course I'm very happy to see you again!"
"How happy are you?" Mutuka asked.
"Three or four floors are so happy," Zola said.
Tony stared at everything in front of him, completely unable to understand.
But the combination of the little boy and the owl still reminded him of something.
"It's you!" He stretched out his finger tremblingly, pointing at the zombie boy, and suddenly realized, "The figure I saw in the Middle East is you!"
"It seems you are not too stupid."
A sneer appeared at the corner of the zombie boy Srubu's mouth, "Then the time I wasted with you before is somewhat meaningful."
"What's going on?" Tony was completely confused.
"It's normal that you don't understand." Srubb shook his head, "But I have no obligation to explain to you."
Now, everything has come to an end.
Srubb opened his hand, and the entire data world immediately began to boil.
The green data flowed into human form, like violent ghosts of injustice, constantly rushing towards Tony. Howard stood in front of him, trying to delay the child for a moment, but it was ineffective.
Tony was caught by the data ghosts, like sinking into a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper in this data world.
"Good night, Mr. Stark... and others."
Thrube turned around and slowly walked out of this data world.
"Now, there is only one piece of the puzzle left."
...
"Huh?"
The sudden induction made Katum raise his head.
"What's wrong?" Bruce couldn't help asking.
"I seem to have sensed those two guys, only for a moment, and now they are gone again."
Katum was referring to the two zombies.
Owl had already made some moves and could track them through the implanted personality.
But since coming to the Marvel Universe, they seemed to have disappeared, and they could not sense their existence.
If Tony hadn't said that he had seen them, Katum would have thought that they had not come to the Marvel World.
Bruce realized that something was wrong. Why at this time? Hydra had just issued a wanted notice for Fury and Tony, and they appeared?
It's really hard not to make associations.
"Bruce, what are you doing?"
At this time, Wanda, who was walking in front, turned around and frowned, urging Bruce not to dawdle.
She kept staring at Batboy's movements, as if she was worried that the boy might run away at any time.
Pietro stood by and watched the fun. There was still some tension between Wanda and Bruce, but it was much better than before.
"You blame me because I walked slowly?" Bruce said to Wanda, "No wonder Pietro always complains about you secretly."
Pietro:?
"I didn't!" Before Wanda's eyes moved over, Pietro quickly raised his hands and explained loudly for himself.
"I don't think you dare."
Wanda snorted lightly, not dwelling on this topic too much.
They had already arrived near the Stark Building. The streets were still crowded. There were a few familiar faces walking through the crowd. They were Hydra agents from S.H.I.E.L.D., and they were already preparing to take action.
"We have to move faster." Wanda whispered, "otherwise we will be preempted by others."
"Don't worry, they can't." Bruce said casually.
He knew better than anyone that Tony was not in Stark Tower at all.
"How can you be so sure..."
Wanda also found that Bruce was a little too relaxed. She was about to ask in detail, but at this moment, the originally calm sky changed unexpectedly.
"What is that!"
Someone on the street pointed at the sky and shouted, and the people around raised their heads, and exclamations immediately sounded one after another.
Even Bruce was stunned.
In the sky above, the original blue sky and white clouds disappeared, replaced by an upside-down city phantom.
The city was huge, covering the entire New York.
The phantom kept approaching, as if it would collide with New York in the next moment.
"This is..."
For some reason, when Bruce saw the panoramic view of the city in the sky, a familiar feeling arose in his heart. He must have seen this city.
"The world of the dead." Katum answered in his ear, "We went there yesterday."
Pietro and Wanda were dumbfounded at this time. They had never seen such a scene before. They wanted to force a mirage to explain it, but they couldn't even convince themselves.
Zizizizizizi
A strange electric current sounded in the ears of several children, and then a green hand composed of 0s and 1s appeared out of thin air and grabbed Bruce and the others.
Bruce was quick-witted and pulled the two people around him to the side, avoiding the big hand.
The data hand missed without any pause, and immediately turned around and grabbed again.
"I feel it again!" Katum suddenly shouted, "It's those two guys who are doing it!"
At this moment, the owl did not hesitate at all, and suddenly crashed into the data stream. The tangible big hand shattered, and 0s and 1s poured all over the ground, bouncing on the ground like marbles, and soon disappeared.
When Katum flew back to his shoulder, Bruce couldn't help asking: "How did you do it?"
"Just try it."
Katum shook his feathers, and countless tiny blue arcs shuttled through them. "I think this kind of thing that is similar to data should have some interference effect with the current."
Is that so?
If the electric current can work, then he doesn't have to worry at all.
Bruce flicked his hand, and the Supreme Wand appeared in his hand, with sparks flashing on the tip of the wand, ready.
"It's coming."
Katum whispered in Bruce's ear.
Sure enough, in the next second, the city in the sky suddenly dropped and merged with the real New York in an instant.
The people walking in panic on the street suddenly stopped.
They didn't move, and even their expressions kept the fear just now, like a freeze frame in the movie.
Bruce looked back and found that Wanda and Pietro were also in this strange state.
"Hydration?" Bruce first thought of this possibility, but quickly rejected it.
This is the Marvel world, even the speed force can't be used, let alone hysteresis?
He suddenly felt something in his heart, turned around, and then saw a little boy who looked exactly like him, standing in the depths of the crowd, looking at him calmly.
The moment their eyes met, an inexplicable sense of familiarity emerged in Bruce's heart.
It seems that this kind of eye contact has happened many times.
When was it?
Bruce tried to think in his mind where he had looked at this person.
But the boy walked through the crowd, approached all the way, and finally stopped not far from Bruce.
"Finally I meet you, Bruce Wayne."
The little zombie smiled and said, "I have always looked forward to meeting like this, instead of being separated by a thick barrier like before."
"I want to see you too." Bruce had already regained his composure, "What do you call you?"
"Srubu Enwei," said the little zombie.
"This name is easy to remember."
Bruce looked around, everything came to a standstill, "Did you do all of this?"
"Is it okay?"
Srubb seemed to be waiting for Bruce's approval, "I put a lot of thought into being able to stand upright in front of you."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly refuted him in a loud voice: "It's not 'I', it's 'we'!"
"Who's talking?" Bruce asked.
Srubb smiled and opened the clothes on his chest, revealing the face of a zombie owl.
The other party was chattering non-stop at this time, blaming Srubb: "Obviously we worked together, but you always only take credit for yourself!"
Bruce couldn't understand such a weird scene.
"How did you become like this?" He couldn't help asking.
"It's just a small attempt."
Srubu said expressionlessly, "If you and Katum can become one, then so can we."
"That's it." Bruce said.
After he finished speaking, he waved the Supreme Wand, and the wand returned to the shape of the hammer handle.
Countless war hammer fragments flew out from Katum's feathers and were spliced to the hammer handle, making Thor's hammer complete again.
"Actually, I still have many questions to ask you."
"But now is clearly not the time," Bruce said.
