The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

When dusk came, the heavy smog fell gently on the skyline, covering the originally gorgeous sunset with a layer of mystery. When the light shone through the fog into the ward, Stark was against the light, and behind him A hazy halo spread out.

Schiller stood on the other side of the bed, Connors came over with an injection, the two discussed the data in a low voice, Schiller turned to look at Obadiah who was lying on the hospital bed, and then looked at the sitting Stark on the opposite side.

He bowed his head, his brown eyes sunk in the shadows of his eyelashes, like a sun in a cage.

Stark propped his elbows on his knees, then covered his mouth with his hands, his body movements indicating that he didn't want to speak now, but his voice still flowed through his fingers, with a hoarse razor edge.

...I saw a lot of things, the past and the future, I saw a lot of me, different life trajectories from them.

The tone of his first few words rose slightly: Maybe you won't believe it, but I understand all the truths and all the secrets.

The breath he exhaled through his nose landed on his hands, and when Stark lowered his eyes, he could clearly see the change of this breath.

Maybe it was only a short moment, but that moment was endless to me, and I saw everything I wanted to see.

He moved one hand, raised the first few fingers, and then put them back: I saw Howard.

There was something strangely magical about the fringe of Stark's voice as clouds swept across the skyline, dimming the light abruptly.

In the hazy mist intertwined with the setting sun and smog, Stark walked into a lively exposition site, and he saw that the man whose image in his memory was somewhat blurred was standing next to a hovering car, introducing his great invention.

Stark left with the flow of people, and after going out through the back door of the expo, he stepped into the dimly lit laboratory. The man was holding a shield and was having a good conversation with Steve.

After the lights in the laboratory went out, there was a violent shaking, a sharp brake sound, and a violent explosion...

The fragments stagnated, the sparks condensed, and all time went backwards. In the laboratory, Stark picked up a photo frame with his hand, which contained a photo of Howard and Obadiah. At that time, they were still very young.

When the lights in the laboratory came on and young Obadiah walked in, Howard hugged him warmly, and the two of them talked about those great inventions all night.

The genius ideas in it reached Stark's ears, and he was intoxicated, not because of how powerful those ideas were, but because he had never had a friendship like these two people, never had such a soul mate, To be able to talk to him all night long.

After the violent brakes and explosions, Obadiah's figure began to lose weight, and more and more white hair appeared on his head. Stark saw that after he hung up a phone call, he began to lose weight. Trembling, like pride, like guilt, like crazy.

Stark stood in this laboratory, Howard walked in front of him and waved to Obadiah, Steve was adjusting the handle of the shield, after a while, Pepper walked in while talking on the phone, Schiller sat Screw the light bulb in front of the bench.

Peter walked in with a steaming breakfast in his hand, the floor of the laboratory trembled violently, a huge lizard monster jumped in, and in an instant, he turned into a gentle Dr. Connors. Connors stretched out his hand, and an injection was handed to him. In front of Stark.

Stark looked up, Connors and Schiller were watching him, Connors' hand crossed Obadiah's hospital bed, and placed the injection in front of him.

Not surprisingly, he will wake up after the last course of treatment. Schiller continued: In addition, his life span may be extended, and his mind and body will become younger.

Schiller looked at Stark's expression and said, You should be in deep doubt now, because when you learned the news, you found yourself unhappy.

You are thinking about why this is, and you suddenly find that you are not as magnanimous as you have shown, and you may also wonder whether there is really a family relationship between you and Obadiah, or is it all because of a The person you don't want to mention...

Don't use mind reading to me. Stark looked up at Schiller. For the first time, Schiller didn't refute him, because he understood that Stark is no longer simply the Iron Man in this universe.

When he was upgraded to the only moment, many things were different.

Perhaps the energy consumption of the magic reactor prevented this moment from lasting too long, but fundamentally speaking, the Stark in front of him has already understood all the truth.

Stark looked at Obadiah silently, and neither Connors nor Schiller spoke.

When this genius cursed by knowledge sees through all the truths of the universe, he will no longer be trapped by those trivial emotions, and will no longer be knocked down by the surging emotional waves.

Because of this, he will be able to clearly make every judgment that affects his life, and be ready to be responsible for it, without anyone needing to remind him again.

After the clouds drifted away and the light came in again, Stark stood up, leaned over and pulled the quilt on Obadiah, and said to Connors, Let's proceed to the last stage of treatment.

Schiller didn't say anything, he pressed a button, the doctor and nurse came in, Stark left the ward against the crowd, Schiller also walked out, and the two stood by the door.

Stark asks him: You're the One too, right? You already know all of this, you know how it happened and how it's going to develop in the future, that's what every One can do...

Schiller glanced at Stark and said, At that moment, you should be able to choose to be the only one, so that the energy of the magic reactor will no longer have any shackles on you.

The only is the only, they will no longer rely on any energy to maintain their personality, but why didn't you do that?

Stark suddenly smiled and said to Schiller: You want me to do that, don't you? You gave me a battery that allows me to break through these barriers and stand on a higher level...

Perhaps you think that no one can withstand this kind of temptation, ascend to the highest level in an instant, see through all the truth, and feel that everything is under control. As long as you give an affirmative answer, you can become an eternal god.

You influenced Strange, the Supreme Sorcerer, Asgard and Odin, and the Cosmic Demon God, so that I could make the right choice at that moment and become the incarnation of the universe. the only one.

So you should be very disappointed now. I wasted this opportunity and turned back into a mortal again...

My psychology is not bad, right?

Stark turned his head to look at Schiller. Behind the two of them was the door filled with sunset light. It was like a picture frame, turning the figures of the two into silhouettes. The orange-red background was brighter than any painter. The colors on the palette are vibrant, almost overflowing the canvas, onto the walls and floor.

You are indeed somewhat beyond my expectations. Schiller lowered his head, but his tone was very calm, he said, But someone taught me a truth long before you.

Arrogance is a deadly poison. Whether it is a god or a man, when he thinks he has the ability to change all situations, affect the fate of all people, and manipulate everyone like pawns, he is not far from death.

This kind of arrogance will devour all humanity, make people lose their most precious wisdom and emotions, and become the externalization of rules and order. Believe it or not, I never thought of doing this.

I'm a normal person and always have been.

Actually, I don't know what I think. Stark looked up, some light passed through his hair, making his eyes shine brightly, those chain-like shadows seemed to be completely far away from him went.

Probably you won't believe it either, but when I learn that I can be the only one in countless universes, become one with all the other Is, and make all the Starks my avatars and projections, before I know it all when……

Stark looked down. It was as if he was still standing on the top of a towering mountain, surrounded by cold winds, and the sky full of stars behind him. This was an indescribable and unspeakable space. He saw that all the universes were trampled under his feet.

Several shadows are running towards him, and they are about to merge into one, becoming a unique existence in the universe, without so many fates, memories and histories.

But in the next second, Stark opened his arms, and then jumped down without hesitation. Those shadows chased after him, but were blocked by the barrier of the single universe.

...I refuse this promotion.

Is it difficult? Stark asked himself and answered, No, it's not difficult at all. There is nothing worth hesitating about.

No matter how many difficulties those emotions and wisdom bring me, it is not a reason for me to abandon them. No matter how ugly human nature is, it is still a part of me, not a scum that needs to be eliminated.

A perfect and lonely god will never be nobler than a vulgar and boisterous man.

You are indeed a hero. Schiller's voice sounded: Because there is only one kind of heroism in this world, and that is to still love it after recognizing the truth of life.

When his ending sound fell, the clouds suddenly dissipated. At this time, the brilliant orange-red background in the frame darkened, like cooling steel, and the figures of the two slowly sank into the darkness.

Drip-drip-

The ear-piercing machine beeped from the ward, and after a while of noise, someone shouted: He's awake! He's awake!
