Chapter 2117

~12 min read 2,273 words

Silk chose to leave. Bruce didn't explain his inner journey to her, and Silk wasn't someone who was very good at comforting others, or rather, she needed to be quiet herself now, so she chose to walk into the depths of the thick fog without looking back.

Bruce slowly squatted down on the spot, feeling as if his internal organs had been hollowed out, his chest cavity compressed extremely inward, bringing a hollow pain.

"I told you that you should see a psychiatrist." Aisha sighed softly and said, "It would be great if Professor Schiller were here."

"Can he cure me?"

"He can make you have no time to let your imagination run wild at all."

Bruce sniffed. The previous anger and resentment had all vanished into thin air. Now he only felt empty and confused, not knowing what choice he should make.

According to the current situation, he actually has no ability, nor is it necessary, to reverse Spider-Man's death.

He doesn't know the rules of this mysterious Fog Realm at all, so he might not be able to find a way to encounter the Spider-Man of the past again.

And Spider-Man's death has nothing to do with him. Spider-Man died, and he can still obtain the superpowers he dreamed of.

So just doing nothing is fine.

Bruce closed his eyes and sighed. In the end, he still stood up and made his decision.

Bruce picked up Aisha and walked into the depths of the thick fog. He didn't know how far he walked, until he exhausted all his physical strength and had to sit by the side of the road to rest for a while.

Drowsiness surged up. When Bruce opened his eyes again, the thick fog had dissipated, and the climate had become warm again. He knew they had left the East Coast and returned to San Francisco.

The car they had driven before was parked by the side of the road. Aisha turned her head to look at Bruce and asked, "Are we still going to Osborn?"

Bruce shook his head and said, "No, we're going to the laboratory Spider-Man mentioned before to see where he went afterward."

The two got into the car. Aisha was still sitting in the passenger seat. Bruce asked while driving, "Do you have any speculations about the mysterious fog space? Anything is fine. Little Batman, everything depends on you now."

"I'm not Batman." Aisha hugged her arms and puffed out her cheeks, saying somewhat angrily, "My dad spent a lot of effort to stop being Batman."

"You are completely ungrateful for the blessings you have." After experiencing so many things, Aisha's speech was becoming more and more fluent. She said, "Some people have to pay a price you can't imagine to be an ordinary person."

"What's so good about being an ordinary person?"

"Being an ordinary person is great, you can't even imagine." Aisha snorted and said, "I can spend a whole day with Selina eating through all the snack streets in the East End. I can go to Professor Schiller's backyard to play with the hose and spray Merkel with water. I can even go to the Godfather's manor and chase the gang boss to bite him."

"Sounds completely not ordinary."

"But it's much better than that bunch of psychopathic Batmen." Aisha curled her lips and said, "The last time they played carefree was probably in their mother's womb."

Bruce felt he had been shot, because what Aisha said was really damn right.

In Bruce's impression, he really never had a time to play properly. Not to mention a whole day, even spending an hour playing with building blocks was to exercise his hands-on ability.

The Waynes' requirements for him were not low, but unfortunately, Bruce really didn't have much talent. The moments he could recall that he was most excited and full of expectation were before the last time he went to see a movie with his parents.

"Do you think I should give up?" Bruce asked.

"I see it's very hard for you to give up." Aisha pouted, her expression clearly saying "Don't ask such obvious questions."

Bruce finally laughed, and the car drove away against the morning light.

"The thick fog is not completely without rules." Aisha turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window and said, "At least for now, whether it's what we encountered or what others we met in the fog space encountered, they all accidentally entered the mysterious space during the process of high-speed driving or walking."

"Perhaps speed is a criterion, but it might be more occult. For example, when we are very eager to go somewhere, the thick fog will appear and pull us into the mysterious space."

"Then how does the thick fog know... well, since we've already traveled through time and space, what else is impossible?" Bruce sighed, considering it an acknowledgment of Aisha's statement.

"That is to say, if we want to enter the space in the thick fog again, we must be eager to go somewhere. But isn't that what we are doing now?" Bruce patted the steering wheel and said, "Why didn't the thick fog appear?"

"Time might also be a factor." Aisha thought and said, "From some legends, it can also be seen that early morning and night are high-incidence periods for mysterious events."

Bruce glanced at his watch. It was indeed not early anymore. No matter how much one procrastinates, one cannot shamelessly say that ten o'clock is early morning.

"Then we have to wait until tonight, we..."

Just as Bruce said this, he slowly opened his mouth wide, because he saw the long-lost Golden Gate Bridge, which appeared in his field of vision, explode.

Their car was driving toward the San Francisco city area. It was hard to avoid seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. Bruce was focused on driving, only looking at the scenery outside the window with his peripheral vision. Almost as soon as he saw the Golden Gate Bridge, this famous building in Hollywood film history exploded again, just like in the movies.

Bruce slammed on the accelerator, almost knocking himself bloody again. He hurriedly got out of the car and looked in that direction, and then discovered the mecha flying in the air.

"Stark, it's Stark." Bruce gritted his teeth and said, "Two Starks are fighting. I shouldn't have..."

When he said this, he couldn't continue. Although he did let Aisha release the consciousness of the Justice Iron Man with a bit of venting, essentially it was still to stop the evil Stark's plan.

Poisoning the water source in San Francisco is no small matter. Although at first it made people beautiful and strong, it also made people irritable, which would greatly increase the crime rate. Bruce's original intention was still to stop the White Can.

Of course, he also knew that if two Starks fought, it would likely evolve into a world war, so his next plan was to go to Osborn Group to contact Osborn.

Although Osborn might not be able to hold back two Iron Men, combined with Captain America and a group of other superheroes and the official forces of this universe, at least it could delay for a while.

But for some reason, the battle between the two of them was much more intense than imagined. The evil Stark actually sent out a mecha army and even blew up the Golden Gate Bridge. Isn't he openly declaring war on the world?

"Someone put a lot of pressure on him." Aisha said, "Otherwise his reaction wouldn't be so intense. Who could it be? Captain America?"

Soon they knew the answer, because one S. H. I. E. L. D. car after another drove past them, rushing to the scene of the incident at the fastest speed.

In the S. H. I. E. L. D. office, Nick stared gloomily at the footage of the Golden Gate Bridge being blown up. At this moment, his phone rang, and Captain America's voice came from the receiver.

"You're right, Nick. Sorry, I doubted you before. This Tony has gone completely crazy. I'm arriving at the accident site immediately. Please send a rescue team right away. I will continue to transmit the situation at the scene back to you."

"Thanks, Captain. The convoy is already on the way." Nick's voice was exceptionally low. He said, "Another batch of mechas will arrive to support soon. They also belong to Iron Man, but they are under the control of the hero Iron Man we are familiar with. Pay attention to distinguish them."

"Although I don't know what's going on, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Stark's face appeared on the computer in front of Nick.

"Code Eagle's Nest." Stark said first, "I just found some of the data he used to manufacture his armor. The data shows that he is afraid he used some mysterious biological materials. Osborn Group might know something about this."

"I will contact old Osborn." Nick didn't say anything else and hung up the communication directly. But before he could call Osborn, Osborn called him first.

"What the hell, Nick Fury, is Iron Man crazy? Is your Avengers finally out of control?" Osborn's state could almost be described as cursing. He said, "Targeting my medical experiment center in San Francisco isn't enough, does he want to destroy the whole of San Francisco?"

"Calm down." Nick said irritably. Of course he knew that the biological materials of the White Can's armor might be related to the Symbiote, so he went straight to the point and said, "Give us your research data on those mud-like alien creatures."

"In your dreams."

"Then just wait for the 6 billion dollars you invested in San Francisco to turn into ashes along with this city."

"You..."

Bruce turned the car around at the fastest speed and drove onto the road to the Golden Gate Bridge. Although it was past the morning rush hour, the traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge was still very heavy. Being bombed by the mecha, many cars fell into the water, and they had to go to rescue immediately.

Soon Bruce arrived at the scene. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Captain America leading a group of superheroes also heading toward the break in the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bruce just wanted to open his mouth to call him, but then remembered that time had been reset. At this moment, Captain America didn't know him at all.

He didn't waste any more words and immediately took Aisha to participate in the rescue team organized spontaneously by the public.

After the bridge collapsed, some cars fell directly down, and some lucky ones didn't make it onto the bridge and stopped at the edge of the bridge. This group of people rushed out of their cars and worked together to pull back the cars hanging on the edge of the bridge that were about to fall.

Bruce also participated, because he knew he didn't have the powerful power of a superhero, let alone the professional equipment of a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent, and couldn't participate in underwater rescue, but helping to pull cars and move the wounded was still possible.

Aisha originally wanted to follow his actions, but was soon stopped by others. They wouldn't let such a small girl get close to the break in the bridge, and Aisha didn't dare to turn back into the body of the Parallax, otherwise it would likely affect the rescue efficiency of the superheroes.

So Aisha could only watch Bruce's back as he rushed forward with slight anxiety.

The reason she was anxious was that although the disaster happened in an instant, the battle in mid-air hadn't ended yet. It could be clearly seen that the group of mechas overhead were controlled by two different Starks respectively.

The part controlled by the righteous Iron Man seemed to want to stop the part controlled by the evil Iron Man, not letting them go down to bomb the bridge, but obviously these mechas weren't born for this. Their interception effect was very limited, and missiles and fragments of scrapped mechas were constantly falling down, and the crowd was crying and fleeing.

The righteous Iron Man controlling the mechas looked around at the misery below, clenched his fists, stared at the mecha opposite, and said, "Stop, otherwise I will definitely make you look good!"

"You don't understand anything at all." The tone opposite was actually even more anxious than his, almost roaring in anger.

"Those ignorant agents touched things they shouldn't have touched. If it weren't for you insisting on interfering with me, I wouldn't do such a thing! Stop fighting me for control of the mechas!!"

"In your dreams, you actually want to use the mecha army I created to destroy the world. I can't let you succeed!"

White Can's voice sounded like it was about to collapse, "I never wanted to destroy the world, damn it. If you don't let me use the mecha army now, the universe will be destroyed!!!"

The righteous Iron Man opposite seemed a bit surprised. He didn't understand why this evil self would say such a thing, but he felt that this was very likely White Can's sweet talk. After all, it was this evil self who caused this disaster, and he had to do his best to reverse the bad consequences.

So he chose not to listen to what White Can said at all, closed the communication channel, and while controlling the mecha army to intercept the other party's mechas, he competed with the other party for control of weapons and mechas in the Stark Group's network.
