Chapter 1063
When this abnormal power fluctuation swept across the sky over the entire Earth, except for Loki and Strange, Thor, who was eating at Eddie's place, also discovered the abnormality for the first time. He stood up with a "whoosh," rushed to the window, and looked out.
At this time, Venom also rushed out of Eddie's body and came to the window, looking out at the glass. But in fact, Eddie's eyes couldn't see any abnormality and could only judge what happened on a higher-dimensional level based on the information transmitted by Venom's symbiote factor.
Soon, Eddie stepped back two paces, picked up his mobile phone, lowered his head, and dialed. But a busy signal came, and no one answered. He made a few more calls, but there was still no answer. Therefore, he put down the phone and said: "Iron Man might have had an accident."
Shiler, who had been sitting in front of the dining table somewhat sluggishly, suddenly gripped his table knife tightly. He shook his head vigorously and said: "Jarvis... find Jarvis!"
【The novel app that has been running stably for many years, the source-switching app that everyone is using, huanyuanapp.】
"I called, it's no use." Eddie sighed and said: "Unless he abandoned the contact method he gave me before..."
Thor wiped his mouth, took out his mobile phone, and said: "Stark Tower gave Asgard an official dedicated line. This number will not be abandoned..."
After speaking, Thor dialed with his large hand on the phone with some difficulty, but what came from the other end of the phone was still a busy signal. Eddie shook his head and said: "It seems that Jarvis also had an accident."
One of Shiler's hands, which was on the table, stretched out a finger and pointed to the phone across the table. Eddie followed his movement and picked up his phone. Shiler told him: "Emergency dial, press '3', find Ultron."
Not long after, Ultron's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Jarvis has completely lost contact. The 24 communication lines we interchanged and the communication lines of more than 140 laboratories he is responsible for are all silent. Sir, Jarvis might have had an accident."
"What the hell?! Tony and Jarvis had an accident together?" Eddie held the phone, frowned, and said. Thor shook his head and said: "It is very likely that Jarvis had an accident, leading to Tony having an accident. Didn't you notice the anger contained in this power of Tony's?"
"But, how could Jarvis have an accident?" Eddie said very puzzledly: "He is the most powerful intelligent life in this world. As long as the human network still exists, it is impossible for him to have an accident."
"Send me... send me to Stark Tower..." Shiler said somewhat stumblingly: "Send me there immediately!"
Eddie discovered that Shiler seemed to have sobered up a lot. He hesitated for a moment, but still said to Thor: "Let's go, go to Stark Tower. We have to go see what on earth is going on?"
The two brought Shiler to Stark Tower. Because there was no control from Jarvis, at this time, there were no security measures inside the tower, and the three of them arrived very smoothly at the laboratory where Stark usually was.
Then they saw Loki and Strange worrying about a computer, and behind them was Stark's corpse lying on the laboratory bench.
"Oh, God, you guys really came at just the right time!" Loki said sarcastically: "Any later, and we would have successfully saved the world."
Seeing Stark's corpse, the three reacted differently. Eddie was very shocked, feeling it was incredible, and didn't know why things had developed to this point.
Thor could see through the flesh that Stark's soul was gone, and it didn't look like an ordinary death, so he guessed that Stark might be using death to do something else.
And Shiler was also stunned there. He was a combination of the two's emotions. Reason told him that Stark hadn't died; after all, such a huge Iron Demon God was now outside the universe. But even so, facing the scene of Iron Man's death directly still brought enough impact.
This was the first time Shiler had faced the scene of a real superhero's death without any preparation.
It was in reality, not in the panels of a comic book; it was facing his corpse directly, not hearing the news; it was outside his plan, not planned by him.
Hearing the news of death and facing the scene of death directly are completely different. Many people, when hearing the news of death for the first time, might feel very sad, cry bitterly, and be unable to control their emotions.
But if facing the corpse of a deceased relative or friend directly, some people would appear very numb, unable to cry at all.
This is because the shock of this separation of life and death has already covered up the sadness. The impact of reality causes the inner sadness to be unable to surface. After the brain is filled with various messy thoughts, they don't even know how to cry.
Most of the plans Shiler formulated to kill superheroes and let them go to heaven were not carried out by himself. He just made the plans, put them there, waited for the plans to be executed, and listened to the news of success.
The only Stark he faced directly had changed his magic core, and his soul left his body to follow Shiler to heaven, rather than being killed directly by Shiler.
Shiler discovered that when he saw Stark's corpse, what popped into his mind wasn't the images in the comic book, but the scenes of them getting along in reality, as if the Tony Stark in front of him and the Iron Man he knew in the comic book were two completely different people.
At this time, Loki's voice broke his contemplation: "Seriously, you guys would be better off not coming. Can you understand computers better than us?"
After speaking, he picked up an electric wire. At this time, Strange pressed the button next to it, and electric sparks emerged from the center of the wire. Loki screamed, his arm convulsed, and he threw the wire away.
"Damn it! My magic doesn't work! Is it really only possible to reverse time? But what if some other influence is produced..." Strange muttered to himself in a low voice, somewhat troubled.
Because the experience of this Strange was completely different from the Sorcerer Supreme in the comic book, he didn't pass the test of the Ancient One before becoming the Sorcerer Supreme. Moreover, when he became the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One hadn't completely abdicated and was happily picking up trash in the universe.
When the Sanctum Sanctorum distributed member gifts, Strange faced the Ancient One's powerful strength directly many times and therefore felt his own deficiencies in magic. Until now, his power was still far from being comparable to the Ancient One, and his understanding and control of magic were even further apart.
The Ancient One stayed by Strange's side for a longer time and taught him more. The Strange in this universe inherited the Ancient One's character of being rough but detailed and firmly remembered her teaching that "those who play with time will eventually be deeply trapped in the quagmire of time."
This led to Strange being more cautious about the few pieces of equipment left by the Ancient One, especially the Time Stone, the Eye of Agamotto. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't use it if he didn't have to, and would use it as little as possible. If he had to use it, it was also to reset the time of small characters with less impact, and he would never touch important figures.
Strange stood up with the Time Stone in his hand and sighed: "If you don't have any better methods, I'm going to try to reverse time now to let Jarvis return to normal. He absolutely cannot disappear."
Strange glanced out the window and said: "Death won't let Stark leave so easily. We can't gamble that he can rush back in time to fix Jarvis. And once Jarvis has an accident, the solar system development plan will be in big trouble."
He raised his head slightly, looked at the sun hanging high over New York, and said: "All construction projects of the Mercury base are under Jarvis's control. The real-time calculation of interstellar transport routes in the solar system is also his work. Even the few spaceships humans have have his intelligent assistance. Otherwise, relying on human scientists to calculate routes using primitive methods, we wouldn't even be able to sail the ships."
Thor put his hands on his hips and said somewhat helplessly: "You humans entrust your fate to an intelligent life, aren't you afraid it will malfunction?"
Strange shook his head and said: "You reversed the causal relationship. It's not because Jarvis is strong that he took on so many jobs, but precisely because humans in the development stage pursued efficiency and speed too much that they had to use intelligent life to process the massive data that humans couldn't process."
"Precisely because of humanity's endless pursuit of efficiency, the things Jarvis controls have become more and more, and he has also become stronger and stronger."
Strange turned back again, looked at Jarvis's mechanical body parked there, and said: "Jarvis sacrificed himself to give Tony an anchor, and now, we must pull him back to ensure this golden pair continues to contribute to human development."
After speaking, Loki and Strange turned their heads together to look at Shiler. Loki also took the initiative to walk forward, put his arm around Shiler's shoulder, and said to him: "I feel very sorry for your encounter during this period, but in fact, everything is under Tony's control. You won't be in any danger. We all hope to be able to treat you and make you feel better."
Shiler slowly pushed away Loki's hand, but turned to look at him and said: "You did it, I'm not joking."
After speaking, he walked to the front of Jarvis's body and looked up at this tall mechanical body. But in fact, everyone present, including him, except for being able to see that this thing had crashed, couldn't see anything else.
They didn't even have knowledge in hardware, let alone software. Any problem produced by an intelligent life of Jarvis's level was beyond the understanding scope of this group of people, let alone repairing it.
"Now it seems that reversing time is the best method." Strange frowned and said: "Although we can't figure out the principle, as long as we let him return to the initial state, it should be no problem."
But Shiler thought of another thing. He turned to look at Thor and said: "Does Asgard have an Infinity Stone?"
Thor was stunned for a moment. He said somewhat puzzledly: "Infinity Stone? What is that? Asgard has quite a few gems..."
Loki slapped his forehead, thought of what he saw above the universe, and reminded Thor: "It's the Aether, which you inlaid on your crown before. Did you forget?"
Thor suddenly realized, then took out his crown out of thin air and held it in his hand. Except for Loki, the other few people were seeing Thor's crown for the first time, so they all gathered around.
That was a crown with a very Asgardian style, inheriting the consistent Nordic style. There were nine spikes on the ring-shaped crown, the middle one being the highest. The two next to it were shorter, while the two next to those protruded, but overall it was high in the middle and low on both sides.
On the highest spike, a glowing red gem was inlaid, while on the other spikes, several gems were inlaid, all shining, seemingly representing different meanings.
Thor introduced: "This is the Crown of All Nations I created after succeeding to the throne. It contains Asgard and the other Nine Realms, as well as unique metals from other civilization dimensions in the Nine Realms, including Vibranium representing Midgard."
Strange cast his gaze on the most important gem on the crown and took out the Eye of Agamotto.
At this time, Strange and Thor were both certain that these two gems were the same type of item.
"Asgard has always kept the Aether, but we have never utilized this gem. The All-Father stored it in the warehouse of the Immortal Palace... Yes, it's the warehouse where the Destroyer was kept before."
When Thor said this, Strange widened his eyes and said: "You actually put such a powerful item in a warehouse with this level of security??!!!"
Subsequently, he looked at Loki even more shocked and said: "And you actually chose to steal the Destroyer instead of stealing this gem??!!!"
