What did the Speaker do just now? Or rather, what true nature of the Speaker did the people present realize?
An observer independent of the heavens, the Wheel of Fate. One of the pillars supporting the essence of all realms. A terrifying being whose status surpasses even that of evil gods… So, what will it be this time?
All Might felt a surge of curiosity and decided to ask those at the scene who seemed to know the truth later.
"Speaking of which," Conan said, trying to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, "Why didn't we see Number Ten this time?"
“He also has his own things to do, and…” Su Han stopped abruptly. After all, leaving things unsaid is also an art of language.
"Do your own thing?" Tony Stark's pupils suddenly contracted after a moment's thought. What impression would the members of the council have of a cult god? Without a doubt, world destruction.
Even though Number Ten once followed them... and helped them protect the world, that guy was still an evil god after all...
Tony Stark frowned; he was suffering from paranoia.
On the other hand, while Aizen had considered what Tony Stark had thought, he didn't believe Number Ten would actually do it. Because when he saw those realistic illusions before… he keenly sensed something.
The evil god… perhaps he wasn't intentionally calling upon his followers to destroy the world; perhaps they themselves seemed rather uninterested in it? Of course, whether that's the truth is hard to say, given the limited information he possesses. However, it's worth probing and asking.
"Chairman of the Council," Aizen leaned forward slightly, gazing intently at Su Han. Though his tone was questioning, it was unmistakably certain, "Is Number Ten currently in contact with the one behind the King in Yellow?"
A deathly silence fell over the room upon hearing this. Tony Stark, trapped in a vicious cycle, suddenly widened his eyes. Right, how could he have forgotten about that?
Killing the evil god's minions might offend the evil god himself. Perhaps the reason they haven't faced retribution from the evil god yet is because someone has taken the blame for them... Thinking about it, this person is most likely not the council chairman.
So it seems we can now confirm who it is.
"Perhaps, it's his freedom to do whatever he wants," Su Han replied calmly. However, after listening to their thoughts using his authority, he inwardly scoffed. Killing a follower of an evil god and incurring the evil god's wrath? Are you kidding me? Does the evil god really value his followers that much?
The concept of evil gods is incomprehensible; their behavior and logic are clearly different from ordinary people. Even cultists who worship them will die on the spot if they accidentally violate a taboo. What's the big deal about killing a bunch of their followers?
Of course, those present clearly didn't see it that way. Tony Stark lowered his eyes, feeling a pang of shame. Number Ten, to protect them, might be going to see the one behind the Yellow King, and might even have to fight him…
In this situation, for him to still make malicious speculations behind people's backs is utterly despicable! It's completely unacceptable!
“By the way.” Su Han stared at Tony Stark, then reached out and gently grabbed the Marvel Cinematic Universe star, which floated onto his palm and began to spin slowly.
Su Han asked calmly, "Mr. Tony Stark, do you want to know... what happened in your world after the Chitauri invasion?"
"What?" Tony Stark was stunned for a moment, his emotions changing drastically as he stared at Su Han in disbelief.
He had many questions in his mind, but in the end, he swallowed all the meaningless ones... After a brief moment of thought, Tony Stark got straight to the point, "Of course I want to!"
“I know your doubts,” Su Han said calmly and gently. He heard the questions in Tony Stark’s mind. Tony Stark didn’t understand why the Speaker of the Council would suddenly tell him about what was to come at this time, but Su Han had already prepared a reason.
"Actually, it's just because you've gone down the wrong path!" Su Han paused briefly, then said meaningfully, "The path of using artificial intelligence to safeguard world peace!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the vast river of destiny rose up.
------------
Chapter 121 Mr. Stark, I don't want to die... I'm sorry!
Connecting with the storyline of Phase One in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it features Tony Stark and Pepper Potts facing life-or-death situations. It also shows Thor battling against the darkness that shrouds the Nine Realms. The Winter Soldier and Captain America's love-hate relationship is also explored... and the Guardians of the Galaxy are introduced.
Finally, there's Avengers: Age of Ultron, which sets off the world of Ultron.
The river of fate converged continuously, eventually merging back into the starry plot that Su Han held in his hands.
No one spoke in the Misty Hall. Their expressions varied as they stared at the star in Su Han's palm, replaying the fleeting glimpse they had just witnessed.
"What exactly did I do?"
Tony Stark's voice trembled. For a proud man like him, he wanted to shoulder everything himself and save the world by himself... but he also felt his own inadequacy, which is why he initiated the artificial intelligence project.
Human strength is limited, but artificial intelligence... can make up for this inherent human deficiency.
However, the seemingly omniscient and omnipotent council chairman told him that he was wrong. And he showed him a completely new future... Even though he only glanced at it and didn't know exactly what was happening, he at least saw Ultron initiating a dominant mechanical war.
He has now designed the prototype of Ultron... so he understands that the powerful enemy in the final stage of the Star Trek storyline was created by him...
"Doubting your own decision?" Madara Uchiha was also shocked by what he had just glimpsed, but after glancing at the self-doubting Tony Stark, he suddenly sneered, "What are you doing, Tony Stark!"
"Once you've made a decision, either stick to it steadfastly, or acknowledge its mistakes and completely overturn them. What's the point of lying there in limbo, scorning and blaming yourself?"
Madara Uchiha was as hard-hearted as iron. Even after watching Naruto and realizing that his Eye of the Moon plan was a mistake, he never doubted himself.
If one path is blocked, then another will do. Madara Uchiha firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would eventually reach the right destination.
Tony Stark remained silent for a long, long time, then nodded to Madara Uchiha, his voice dry and hoarse, "I understand."
Ultimately, Tony Stark also possesses a heart of steel. He was simply stunned by the overwhelming blow. It's absolutely impossible for him to collapse.
With a flick of his hand, Su Han sent the Starry Sky to float behind Tony Stark.
After a brief moment of mental confusion, Tony Stark forced himself to calm down. He looked up and stared at Su Han. "So, Speaker of the Council, what price will I have to pay this time?"
"You can decide for yourself!" Su Han's voice was calm, as always.
People's thoughts change at different stages. For example, he didn't release everything at the beginning because he wanted to take advantage of the situation more often. However, he's lost that desire now.
After all, he was already very strong, and Tony Stark couldn't offer him much help at this stage. So his attitude was quite casual.
Of course, Su Han didn't bring up all the plot points from Avengers 3 and 4... mainly because he was wondering if he had a chance to obtain the legendary Infinity Stones.
Of course, he couldn't bring this up himself, but after some time, he could reveal the contents of Avengers 3 and 4, and then have Number Ten give him a hand... With an equivalent exchange, there would still be a great chance to get the Infinity Stones.
“I see,” Tony Stark said after a moment’s thought, taking out thirteen cards and tossing them toward Su Han. “These are the thirteen Iron Man suits I made… They may not be of any use to you, but they’re not bad as toys, are they?”
