"Are you... really aliens?" Conan Edogawa asked cautiously.
"Huh?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment, looking around timidly. He then gradually came to his senses, recalling the strange scene from before, and swallowed hard.
He considered Tony Stark's words and everything that had just happened, realizing that even if he hadn't been captured by aliens, he was still involved in an anomaly. And not just any ordinary anomaly... the danger of such an event might not be less than being captured by aliens.
"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?" Tony Stark said helplessly, his fingers lightly stroking the back of the chair. "But this question also shows that you're a smart guy... only smart people think this much. Just like me."
"Mr. Stark, you are as narcissistic as ever." Huang Rong was speechless.
“Here’s what we’ll do,” Tony Stark said without speaking to Huang Rong. He reached out and tapped his forehead. “Imagine you should be able to extract those unusual abilities from your body.”
"Hmm?" Conan Edogawa hesitated for a moment, then pointed a finger at his forehead, trying his best to imagine what Tony Stark had said. Then, cards began to appear around his body.
“I knew it.” Tony Stark’s eyes lit up instantly. “By the way, you’re not some genius like me, are you? Creating a lot of cutting-edge technology? What does it say on your card?”
"This is!" Conan Edogawa's eyelids twitched as he looked at the names on the cards. "Top-notch detective skills, top-notch logical thinking ability... and this APTX-4869 antibody. Wait, what the heck is this omen of death?"
He could understand the detective and logical thinking in the beginning, but the later parts just seemed more and more mysterious.
“…As expected, your world is not simple either.” Tony Stark said thoughtfully. “APTX-4869 antibody, a drug? Hmm, after thinking about it, the most likely possibility is the drug you drank? Of course, there are other possibilities as well.”
“However, the omen of death is… um!” Tony Stark was stuck, after all, he had too little information to make a prediction.
After a moment's thought, he offered a suggestion: "These abilities were all developed by you; you should be able to sense their effects."
Tony Stark had also conjured cards before. He understood that when he touched these cards, he would naturally know the meaning they symbolized.
"...This APTX-4869 antibody is indeed the shrinking drug I took before." Conan Edogawa said seriously, "However, this antibody seems to be a little different from the original one. It seems that after taking it, people of any age can become six to twelve years old. And... there are no side effects."
After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Madara Uchiha's gaze sharpened. He was too old, so old that he could no longer properly exert his current strength.
At this moment, a special antibody appeared in front of him. As long as he swallowed it, he would be able to return to his childhood.
No side effects... What does that mean? It means he can possess such power and return to his childhood. If it weren't for the high-ranking Speaker of the Council, he would have already tried to bribe Conan into making an exchange.
Whitebeard was much calmer than Madara Uchiha, but he was also tapping his fingers on the back of the chair, clearly having other thoughts on his mind.
Su Han stared at Conan Edogawa with a strange expression. He hadn't expected that this would be extracted from Conan's body.
"The original shrinking potion, while it could shrink one's body, must have had significant side effects. It couldn't possibly reverse aging!"
Su Han's mind raced with thoughts. There were two possibilities for why Conan had extracted this.
One possibility is that Conan's protagonist aura caused the drug in his body to produce a mutated antibody, giving him the power to reverse aging... Another possibility is that it's an optimization function of the mist space.
In fact, Su Han felt the latter possibility was more likely. After all, the Devil Fruit he fused with didn't have those side effects.
"Truly remarkable," Huang Rong exclaimed. Of course, she was only amazed by the effects of this special drug's antibodies, and had no other thoughts. After all, she was still young, unlike Uchiha Madara, who utterly despised his aging body.
“…” Tony Stark remained silent for a long time before letting out a long breath to calm himself down. “Truly worthy of being the Council of the Gods, whose tentacles have spread to endless worlds. All sorts of strange and wonderful abilities and items can appear here.”
After a brief moment of reflection, Tony Stark continued, "And what about that omen of death later?"
"It seems like the places I go are more prone to deaths... Hmm?" Conan's expression froze, and he retorted, "What the hell is this? Although the image of the card being formed is incredible, how could I possibly have this kind of trait?"
"Don't you even have any self-awareness about whether you have this trait or not?" Su Han muttered to himself. He thought of the extremely high mortality rate in Detective Conan, and his expression became subtle.
Tony Stark's brow twitched, and his gaze towards Conan became strange. Of course, while he felt it was unlikely that the Misty Space would malfunction, he didn't discuss it further, continuing to guide Conan and explain the principles of the transaction.
Conan stared at the cards beside him, hesitated briefly, and then picked out Top-Tier Logical Thinking, Top-Tier Detective Skills, and APTX-4869 Antibody. He then tossed them toward Su Han.
Madara Uchiha gripped the back of the chair tightly, but after a few breaths, he let go, his face filled with despair. What could he do in this situation?
As the mist rose, Su Han put away several cards.
Su Han spoke calmly, as if everything were proceeding as usual, "Then, Edogawa Conan... your future begins."
With a deafening roar, a river of destiny appeared in the void.
From Shinichi Kudo solving numerous cases and becoming an incredible high school student, to spying on the Black Organization, shrinking down and entering Ran Mouri's house... thus beginning his legendary life as a "Death God Elementary School Student."
Death, solving the case, encountering death again, solving the case again... and so on, endlessly repeating.
But before anyone could see clearly, the dazzling river of fate suddenly converged. With a boom, it condensed into a star of the story, adorning the misty space.
The scene was completely silent.
------------
Chapter 84 He may be one of the pillars of existence in the endless world.
Tony Stark silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stared at Conan without saying a word.
Although he only glanced at it for a moment, he noticed that the proportion of various cases in the River of Fate was obviously abnormal... Moreover, this was not Conan actively seeking them out; it was more like wherever he went, he would die.
"The omen of death is truly terrifying." Huang Rong felt a chill run down her spine.
Madara Uchiha also felt a chill run down his spine, repeatedly scrutinizing Conan.
Although he is incredibly powerful, Conan's death omen... doesn't seem like he's being killed by force, but rather like he's using some kind of causal law...
Madara Uchiha suddenly began to worry about something. If he spent too much time with Conan, wouldn't he one day suffer a heart attack and die earlier than in the original timeline?
“I have to say,” Rukia Kuchiki, who had been very quiet and unassuming, suddenly spoke up, “that child… is perhaps more like a Grim Reaper than I am.”
"It was definitely an accident," Conan Edogawa said seriously. He was now completely certain that this space was real. His previous ability to conjure cards and sense their functions was already quite extraordinary…
The sheer scale of the scene where the plot's stars coalesced was unprecedented in Conan's life. Compared to the special effects movies Conan had ever seen, the scene of the River of Destiny coalescing into plot stars was utter garbage. It was too unrealistic.
