Chapter 1868: Iron Tank Clanging (3)

The Superior Iron Man followed Shiler back to the room on the spaceship. As a special guest, he owned an entire suite, and also the huge viewing window unique to this sightseeing spaceship.

The reason why the summit was chosen to be held here was because the Ring Star Nebula was visible to the naked eye, which was a very beautiful nebula close to a perfect circle, and it was also a rare sight in the vast universe.

Through the huge shuttle-shaped floor-to-ceiling window, one could see a brilliant nebula flashing with gorgeous light in the darkness, composed of countless stars and colorful air currents, forming an incomparably magnificent landscape.

When Shiler entered the room for the first time, he was also shocked by this amazing beauty. The nebula emitted various different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, thick and light, winding and entangled, mysterious and brilliant.

Shiler stood in front of the window and watched the nebula, seemingly deeply trapped in a kind of quiet depth. The Superior Iron Man didn't speak, just played with the ornaments on the coffee table by himself.

After a while, Shiler came back to his senses. He seemed to feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, so he turned and walked to the other side of the room, but the Superior Iron Man took the initiative to speak: "This is really beautiful, isn't it? What did you see in such scenery?"

Shiler's footsteps paused, but he shook his head slightly and said: "It's not the first time I've seen it, what insights can I have."

"Beauty does not weaken its charm because of the number of times it is watched." The Superior Iron Man's tone finally didn't have that kind of free smile, but appeared very serious. He said: "It must have left a very deep impression on you, making you recall every insight every time you watch it like this."

The Superior Iron Man walked to the single sofa beside the viewing window. He pointed his finger at the chair opposite, and then said: "I am also a guest from afar, don't you intend to accompany me to chat?"

"You shouldn't have come here." Shiler turned to look at the Superior Iron Man and said: "You should go back to your universe and do what you should do."

"There is nothing I should do, just like there is nothing you must go against your heart to deal with now." The Superior Iron Man rested his elbow on one side of the armrest, leaned his body in this direction, looked at Shiler and said: "I can see that pulling yourself out of this kind of beauty and shock is a very difficult thing for you, and people can't always make difficult decisions."

"You just called people who can't make difficult decisions idiots, saying they deserve to be harvested." Shiler mocked.

"You reversed the causal relationship, I think." The Superior Iron Man shook his head and said: "Because they are idiots, they can't make the decision to give up enjoyment. Since you have always made this kind of decision, it shows that you have stronger willpower than them."

Sure enough, the Superior Iron Man saw Shiler press his arm tightly against his body again, while the other side touched under his nose, which was a performance of feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Sit down, doctor, or we can sit here silently and watch this eternally rotating nebula project contempt for any self-proclaimed magnificent things into infinite time. The world is like this, the existence of some people is a slander to others."

The Superior Iron Man could clearly see that Shiler's fingers trembled slightly when he heard the last sentence.

Shiler walked over and sat down, and the two sat opposite each other on one side of the huge viewing window.

There were no lights in the room, it was pitch black, only the faint light projected by the nebula outside the window, casting the figures of the two into silhouettes, much smaller than the most ethereal star dust in the huge nebula, but the shadows were pulled very long, like sand and stones under the moonlight.

"How long have you not done psychological treatment for others?"

"I just..."

"You know that's not it." The Superior Iron Man shook his head and said: "Aliens are not our kind."

"But they also have emotions, they also... are no different from us."

"Is this how you convince yourself?" The Superior Iron Man straightened his body, then crossed his hands on his legs and said: "From a certain moment, you felt that you lost the ability to resolve negative emotions for others, until a certain moment, you realized that you were gradually losing the ability to perceive others' emotions."

"But this is not the ability required as a psychologist." Shiler denied it and said: "Empathy and sympathy are certainly important, but this job doesn't work like this. It's not that we empathize with patients and then comfort them. We also rely on knowledge and theory and rich experience, or we mainly rely on this."

"But the gradual passing and defeat still make you feel painful, you understand what has flowed away, but you have no way at all."

"It's just that I haven't been able to focus on this aspect recently." Shiler snorted coldly and said: "For the cosmic destruction that you wouldn't feel worried about at all."

"Do you think your talent is a disaster?"

"Why ask this?"

"Let me guess." The Superior Iron Man stretched out a hand and spread his fingers, then said: "To some extent, you can foresee the future, or at least have a premonition beyond the ordinary perspective, not just aimed at the crisis in front of you, but also able to see the disaster coming in the future."

"But this is less of a talent and more of a curse. Ignorance is the greatest happiness humans can possess. If you don't know, you don't have to be responsible for it. But if you know, you always feel that you are to blame."

"If that were the case, I should be a hero."

"You certainly can't." The Superior Iron Man shook his head and said: "You don't want to turn this into your responsibility at all. If you are not a hero, you have room to escape, you don't have to try your best, and you can convince yourself when you fail to turn the tide, so that you don't have to feel guilty."

"You have a talent for being a psychologist."

"But you said this doesn't rely on talent."

Shiler looked at the Superior Iron Man silently, and the Superior Iron Man said: "When you came to find me, you chose not to show your face, but this is understandable. After all, we two are not familiar, you don't want to tell me the whole truth, contact is naturally the less the better, this can prevent me from getting to the bottom of it."

"But what surprises me most is that you are actually mixed in a pile of aliens now, instead of actively preparing for war with your hero friends on Earth, preparing to fight against the coming disaster."

Stark moved his elbows closer, leaned forward and stared at Shiler's eyes and asked: "Tell me, why not?"

Shiler turned to look at the nebula outside the window.

"I should have thought of it." The Superior Iron Man said: "True friends won't mind going through fire and water for you, and you should also be clear about this point. If you talk about everything with everyone, then the situation should be like what I said, you are united, instead of you being alone. Answer me, Dr. Shiler, have you never told anyone what you have seen?"

"This makes no sense." Shiler turned his head back to look at the Superior Iron Man and said: "If someone runs over and tells you one day that the world is going to be destroyed and we should prepare early, would you believe it?"

"If I didn't believe it, would I still be here?"

"But what if nothing happens after that?"

The Superior Iron Man frowned slightly and said: "Isn't your prophecy completely accurate?"

"There is no completely accurate prophecy in this world, only the content of the prophecy can be changed. Early warning is meaningful, otherwise I wouldn't say anything."

The Superior Iron Man thought for a moment and understood Shiler's meaning. Shiler told others the content of the prophecy, they prepared early, avoided the disaster in the prophecy, so it showed that the prophecy was not completely accurate. But if they knew in advance, prepared well, and used various methods but still couldn't change the result of the prophecy, then Shiler had no need to tell others the result of the prophecy at all, because this was bound to happen, and no matter how hard they tried, it was useless.

Since Shiler meant he had said it, it showed that the disaster in the prophecy could be avoided.

But these were not the point. The point was that the Superior Iron Man confirmed that Shiler did know what would happen in the future. This was an extremely amazing talent.

"I certainly know, as long as a similar situation happens once, it will greatly hurt your feelings with those close to you. This is a difficult choice." The Superior Iron Man said, and then he asked again: "Before you told me, did you think I would believe it?"

Shiler finally revealed the most complex expression since today, and then shook his head.

The Superior Iron Man laughed low, looked at Shiler with eyes full of smiles and said: "How ironic, your hero friends no longer believe you, feeling that you are just alarmist, while an evil criminal you want to use believes your words without hesitation and has made efforts for this."

"Then why would you believe it?" Shiler asked.

"Because I am smart enough."

"But Iron Man..."

"No, I don't mean IQ." The Superior Iron Man shook his head and said: "I know what I was like in the past. Iron Man understood almost everything in this universe, but he didn't understand human hearts. This is a privilege belonging to lunatics."

The eyes of this crazy Iron Man appeared with warm pink and cold blue polarized light in the faint light emitted by the nebula, brilliant like a pearl in a dark room.

"When you start to think about things outside those formulas and theorems, you will naturally come to a conclusion that makes you crazy, and then you will suddenly understand things that the hero Iron Man can never understand, which is human emotion."

"The former me was like a huge signal receiver. I felt the complex emotions of people and gave back equally surging emotions. And when I learned to watch with cold eyes, I could naturally see more things than others."

"What did you see in me?"

"A kind of despair."

The Superior Iron Man saw something in Shiler's eyes collapse instantly, like a fragile mirror shattering, and then the light of the nebula outside the window shone in, but it couldn't shine into the bottomless abyss.

"Knowing but being powerless is the most desperate thing in the world." Shiler said: "That's why I said you shouldn't have appeared here. You clearly believed it and had the ability to change it, but you chose to give up, and the result still won't change."

"I also said, the motivation that drives me to save the universe will not be kindness." The Superior Iron Man's eyes shone with moist light, as if he had returned to when he was still a hero, so sensitive and moving.

"Then what would it be?" Shiler asked.

The Superior Iron Man heard the rustling sound of the prey stepping lightly on the snow beside the trap, but he could also hear the sound of the vigilant sniffing blowing away the falling snow, so he lowered his eyes and said.

"I honestly say, I think I should give you a powerful counterattack. You found me among countless Iron Men in thousands of universes, because I have the talent of Iron Man, but have no bottom line."

"I can indeed do more things than Iron Man, but it doesn't mean I want to do it for the universe. If I pay more than your hero friend Iron Man, it's only because I think I can also see the talent and bottom line that match me in you among the thousands of universes—can I?"

Shiler looked at him in disbelief and asked: "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why me?"

"In short, it won't be because you have never been chosen."

Shiler closed his eyes hard.

The Superior Iron Man said in his heart: "Hooked."

Shiler said in his heart: "Hooked." ===== CHAPTER 1869 =====
