Valkyrie of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 479 How to Kill Tony Stark

At night, the starry sky twinkles, but not a single star shines with the light of hope.

Above the Himalayas, solitary mountains still stand tall, peaks soaring into the clouds, filled with clouds and mist, but the once mysterious and solemn mountain body is dead now, and the cold wind blows through the mountains, making people feel desolate.

Zhan Liu stood on the top of the mountain, looking around, there were ruins everywhere.

The fire has been extinguished, but the prosperous scenes of Karma Taj, such as the flow of people, have disappeared.

The cloudy sky made everything seem more heavy, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

It took Zhan Liu a few hours to dig out all the remains of all the people. He dug out graves on the top of the mountain with his hands, and buried everyone in them one by one.

Pieces of tombstones were erected without names on them.

In fact, among the mages of Karma Taj, Zhan Liu only knew one mage king and one Strange, and had only dealt with them.

He basically has no friendship with these mages, not even a nodding acquaintance.But I don't know why, watching these sorcerers die tragically, Zhan Liu felt extremely depressed.

In fact, Zhan Liu is not a person who respects life very much. When confronting S.H.I.E.L.D., he never showed mercy. When attacking Hydra with Natalia, he killed people like chickens.

There were eight hundred people who died under his hands, and he never felt any nausea, vomiting or disgust in his heart.

But now the death of these mages has restored the empathy of ordinary people in his heart, becoming more like a "person", and closer to the "superhero", a characteristic product of this universe.

Everything is gradual and subtle.

Because he stayed in the Valkyrie world for some years, although he lost his memory, his body instinct still made him "disregard human life", and the rules of this universe and his destined destiny gradually pulled him back from the Valkyrie thinking to the human world.

Whether this situation is good or bad is really hard to say.

With the empathy of ordinary people, the feelings will naturally become richer, and it will be easier to resonate with the things encountered, and then it will be easier to recognize the original heart and achieve star breaking.

But after thinking and three views tend to be superheroes, they are more likely to be affected by fate, and it is more difficult to detach themselves.

After burying the entire Karma Taj, Zhan Liu left here with a heavy heart, and took the opportunity to return to the United States.

He was still thinking about Natalia who had turned into a bug, and was afraid that something would happen to Natalia, but fortunately, what appeared before his eyes again was still a beautiful woman in human form, not a big disgusting bug.

"Thank goodness, Natalia, it's great that you didn't!"

Zhan Liu and Natalia hugged each other tightly.

"I thought you were dead at first, and then I saw you turned into a big worm, commanding those zerg. I was really worried that after you became a worm, you would never come back."

"You're fine is the best news I've received in a while."

The two experienced life and death again, and their relationship has warmed up again. Natalia has been worried about Zhan Liu these days, and she is very excited to see that he is safe and sound.

She was much more proactive than Zhan Liu, and she stepped forward to kiss Zhan Liu's lips fiercely, practicing their vital capacity.

After the two were intimate, Natalia let go and said hesitantly:

"I don't know what happened."

"I only remember that I was shot to death by that steel warrior, and the memory after that became blurred. I don't even know how I changed back into a human form."

"However, I think it should be related to my super power, maybe it is similar to the ability of boss transformation, but I tried many times later, but I still couldn't change back to that appearance again."

"And I also found that my current body has become very fragile, far from being as strong as before, and the superpower of magnetic field control has also weakened a lot, it is weakened in all directions."

"I also tried to summon the group of cosmic bugs, but there was no response at all. Perhaps this is a skill that can only be used in Zerg form."

"The ability to control bugs has not weakened, but the bugs on the earth are too weak, and they are completely useless when fighting against powerful enemies."

"I don't know how long my current state of weakness will last, but it doesn't feel like it will be too short."

"I think, maybe I lost my memory before, and it was also caused by using Zerg Transformation."

Hearing the word "Iron Warrior", Zhan Liu couldn't help showing a bit of hatred and killing intent in his eyes.

"Tony Stark!"

"He is also a person who returned from the future. In order to prevent me from becoming the supreme mage, he has destroyed the entire Karma Taj, so that I cannot learn magic."

"And he seems to have another purpose. He didn't kill me. Instead, he gave me the entry-level ability to rotate the magnetic field again. He also said that he wanted me to break the star. I don't know what he is planning."

"He didn't kill you? Was it because he was worried that someone would use the time gem to resurrect you?" Natalia asked in surprise.

"I don't know either." Zhan Liu shook his head, "Probably not. I always feel like he is behind the scenes, manipulating something in the dark, and he treats me as a pawn."

"Damn it!" Zhan Liu angrily punched the table next to him to pieces.

Natalia patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "As long as we are alive, we have a chance to come back."

"Tony Stark is very strong. We couldn't beat him in his prime. If we want to kill him, I'm afraid we have to find another way."

"Since he is a person who returned from the future, if we kill the still weak Tony Stark, will this future enemy disappear out of thin air?"

Zhan Liu carefully recalled the plot of "Avengers 4", and compared Wolverine's operation in "X-Men: Days of Future Past", but he was not sure whether this method would work.

However, considering the random time travel plots in Marvel comics, Zhan Liu finally nodded and said:

"I'm not sure, but it's worth a try."

"Since you have become an enemy, you don't have to show mercy."

"The current Tony Stark, the Iron Armor should still be very weak and can be easily killed."

As soon as I said this, more than a dozen steel armors roared past in the sky next to them. Looking at the shape, it was clear that they were at least Mark 20 or above.

Zhan Liu and Natalia looked at each other and exclaimed, "Are you kidding me!"

"Is this guy Tony crazy, patrolling the skies over New York?"

The two turned on the TV, and on the screen, the news media were gathering in front of Stark Industries, eagerly interviewing the current chairman of the Stark Group board of directors, Obadiah.

"... Please rest assured that all investors, even without Tony Stark, Stark Industries is still the world's top arms manufacturer."

Obadiah was elated and talking to a bunch of microphones and cameras in front of him. He stretched out his fingers and nodded at the dozens of steel battle armors hovering above his head, and said proudly:
"We have military weapon research capabilities that far exceed those of any country in the world, as evidenced by these steel armors flying in the sky."

The real Mark 50 battle armor, Obadiah only produced one for himself, and the products he took out for the military were just some ordinary battle armor, but that alone has shocked the whole world.

"We have reached the latest weapons purchase contract with the U.S. military to produce this Obadiah-[-] steel armor as a necessary security guarantee for U.S. soldiers to maintain peace around the world, and to deal with the increasingly rampant super criminal activities in the country."

"The total contract amount reaches the level of [-] billion US dollars, and it is divided into three-year delivery."

"The first batch of products has been delivered and will be used in security activities in major cities in China. The vicious crimes caused by super criminals that happened in New York not long ago will not happen again, and the lives of the people will be further guaranteed..."

The two of them were too lazy to read the rest of the nonsense anymore, they could guess it all, it was all nonsense, none of it was true.

"This kind of technology is definitely not something that Obadiah can come up with. Only Tony Stark can do it, and it's not Tony Stark at this point in time."

"That is to say, Tony Stark from the future has partnered with the current Obadiah, and handed over his technology to the current Obadiah to use, and even gave up the right to name the battle armor. This is a bit out of Tony Stark's character..."

No matter how much Zhan Liu thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that there was something wrong, but he tried to break his head, but he didn't want to understand what the problem was.

"What about the Tony Stark in this world?" Natalia also felt very strange. "Information shows that there were two Tony Starks in the Stark Tower. One fled after being discovered, and the other was later found to be a counterfeit and was arrested."

"So where is Tony Stark really?"

Zhan Liu thought about it carefully, and said: "The one who was found to run away voluntarily must be a counterfeit, but the one who was caught as a counterfeit may not be a real counterfeit."

Natalia reacted quickly and immediately understood what Zhan Liu meant.

"You mean, the Tony Stark from the future conspired with the current Obadiah to capture the real Tony Stark as a counterfeit?"

"But it doesn't make sense!"

"He went back to the past and didn't contact his past self, but instead arrested his past self. What kind of show operation is this!"

Natalia shook her head, feeling that Zhan Liu's guess was wrong, but Zhan Liu had a different opinion on this.

"Arresting doesn't necessarily mean killing, maybe it's a kind of alternative protection."

Natalia shook her head, "Isn't giving him a Mark 50 steel armor the best protection? Why bother?"

"What if it's not protecting the Tony Stark of the past?"

"I've heard a theory about time and space travel, that is, if the same person at different time points meets, eventually time and space will erase the person who is later in time."

"That is to say, if Tony Stark from the future meets his present self, the one from the future will disappear in smoke."

"If this theory is correct, then in order to protect Tony Stark from the future, the two Tonys must never meet."

"But the problem is that Tony Stark is a very self-centered guy. He will never wrong his current self for the sake of his future self. It is impossible for him to stay at home all day and not go anywhere like he is in prison."

"Even being so proud, he may not even bother to use his future self's technology, but he may even want to compete with his future self."

"Similarly, Tony Stark from the future must also know what choice he would make in the past, so he simply cooperated with the ambitious Obadiah to force the palace together, and arrest the current Tony Stark first."

"Obadiah will definitely not refuse in order to obtain Tony's black technology in the future."

"That said, everything is satisfactorily explained."

Natalia suddenly realized, and thought about it several times, but found no obvious loopholes.

"Your guess is indeed plausible, but there is still a lack of evidence. It is pure speculation. What if you guess wrong?"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhan Liu spread his hands, "Anyway, it seems that Obadiah must be with the future Tony Stark, so he is the enemy."

"The enemy of your enemy is your friend."

"Even if the captured Tony Stark is not real, and definitely not our enemy, there will be nothing wrong with rescuing him."

"If we are lucky and guess right, then let him meet the future Tony Stark, and the laws of space and time will naturally solve the enemy for us."

While Zhan Liu and the others were planning how to kill Tony Stark, the proud Obadiah also had an unexpected visitor here.

"Illumination?"

"What it is?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. replacement?"

Norman Osborn who was sitting opposite smiled and shook his fingers, "No, no, Mr. Obadiah, SHIELD belongs to the whole world, but the Illuminati belongs to private individuals."

"All members of the Illuminati must have the power to change the world, extraordinary power!"

"Such as the unearthly forces that have created various crises in New York during this time."

"Remember that big green guy who fought your Iron Warriors?"

"His name is Bruce Banner, and he is a member of the Illuminati."

Obadiah's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.He knew very well that the person wearing the Mark 50 armor was definitely not his subordinate, and was probably the Tony Stark who escaped first, but he didn't say anything.

"And the Thunder werewolf who appeared that night, the black alien monster, and the Chinese captain who fought the alien swarm are all members of our Illuminati."

"Frankly speaking, if you didn't have the cross-age technology of Iron Armor, you wouldn't be qualified to know the name of the Illuminati at all."

After Norman Osborn finished speaking, he stood up and extended a hand of friendship to Obadiah.

"Now, I cordially invite you to become one of us, to decide the fate of the world together and guide the future direction of this planet."

"Then please tell me your decision, Mr. Obadiah."

Obadiah stared at Norman for a while, finally stood up, and held Norman's hand tightly.

"It's my pleasure, Mr Osborne!"
