Chapter 4694

~11 min read 2,134 words

Amidst the dust-filled mountains, in front of a laboratory gate hidden in a valley, several superheroes were lined up. The smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the atmosphere became even more scorching.

Until a blue and white figure slowly descended over the battlefield. Stark's nano-suit had gone through several iterations; it didn't look like a heavy iron shell at all, but was thinner and more form-fitting. He had long since discarded the faceplate, instead using a holographic projection of data streams to cover his face, while the rest of his body was semi-wrapped in silver metal head armor, looking very different from the other Iron Men.

Therefore, when he descended onto the battlefield, the local Iron Man didn't recognize him for a moment. The various forces watching the situation here through monitoring equipment also didn't know who he was. It wasn't until he retracted the data stream faceplate, revealing Tony Stark's face.

Everyone's expression turned ugly.

Originally, the appearance of a second Iron Man on Earth was already mind-boggling, and now another one had come. One Iron Man was enough to give them a headache, and now there were three. All the forces wished this world was a large game of Candy Crush, so they could quickly eliminate these three unlucky things!

However, the good news was that these three Iron Men didn't seem to respect each other. They didn't join forces, but fought on their own. The first two each brought an Avengers team, and the last one seemed to be fighting alone, but seemed to possess more powerful technology than them.

Soon, all parties discovered that the technological level of the blue and white Iron Man who arrived last was probably far beyond the first two. Because he didn't do any operations at all, countless mechanical weapons emerged from the air.

In fact, they didn't emerge; they first turned into holographic projections like data streams, and then slowly wove into substance. If someone like Reed, who could observe the structure of the universe, were present, he would definitely run away very quickly, because this means of creating objects by directly editing the universe's code was very close to creation. Provoking such an opponent was not a wise move.

But unfortunately, because the technological level of everyone present was not high enough to correctly observe the universe, they all thought Stark used some kind of portal to conjure those robots. So not only did they not run, they all raised their weapons to face the enemy.

The first to act were the Thors from both sides, because according to previous experience, Lei Shen's lightning was very effective against Iron Man's mechanical creations. From a physical law perspective, such intense current could definitely paralyze most electronic components instantly. Both Thors raised their hammers, and the light of lightning flashed in the valley.

The mechanical army suddenly turned back into a data stream form, which made them immune to mundane forces. Blue light sped toward the battlefield, and after appearing in the correct position, condensed into a material state. Instantly, dense artillery fire covered the entire battlefield.

Just as Strange had quietly dominated almost the entire industry, so many years had passed, and Stark certainly hadn't been idle. On the road to exploring the truth of the universe, he didn't walk any slower than Reed, and compared to Reed spending most of his time causing trouble, Stark used this time to upgrade his equipment, perfectly combining cosmic structural mechanics and mechanical engineering to create an "Information Flow Combat System."

Simply put, when not in use, these things were just information codes stored in the armor, without substance. And once needed, the code could be converted into matter at any time, and could also be converted at any time during the battle.

When encountering attacks he didn't want to take, he converted into data stream code to dodge; when needing to launch a silent surprise attack, he could also convert into code to advance; and once he needed to appear to attack, he could immediately transform into material equipment to unfold firepower coverage; and after the strike was completed, he could still turn into code to return to the armor and use code compilation to reload.

In general, this was still technology based on the theory of "information and matter conversion" that Reed had always wanted to use for all mankind, but it was much safer when used on machines, not involving ethical issues, and achieving an effect like a creator descending.

The Avengers below didn't expect him to have such a move and were blown away on the spot. However, they were also skilled, and both Captain Americas immediately realized that they must attack Stark's main body. With two "whoosh" sounds, two shields flew toward Stark with unstoppable force.

Stark pulled away instantly. His armor wasn't just capable of releasing information equipment; its performance was also very superior. He flexibly pulled up in the air to dodge the shields, and more mechanical equipment appeared behind him.

This time, it wasn't just drones for bombing; there were two mother nests producing ground self-propelled armor. The mother nests didn't need to land; they hovered in the air, continuously dropping mechs downward. Most of the mechs were Iron Man armors from past versions.

"What the hell!" The local Iron Man looked up at those mechs. Besides the gold and red color scheme, there were blue and white, purple and gold, red and blue, and gold and silver color schemes. Instantly, hundreds of differently colored Iron Men appeared on the field, and they all opened their hand cannons at the same time.

"Dodge!" Captain America shouted, "Get out of the way!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Another round of heavy bombing. The Avengers each found cover, but Stark took advantage of the moment they couldn't maintain their formation, a smooth maneuver, passing through the Avengers and layers of vegetation like a butterfly through flowers, and flew into the laboratory.

"Stop him! Stop him quickly!"

No one present didn't want to stop him; the problem was they couldn't. The local Doctor Strange had already used magic to attack those mechs, but once these mechs converted into information form, Doctor Strange had no way to deal with them, and magic couldn't attack code either. Later, those mechs surrounded them, and to protect his teammates, Doctor Strange couldn't pursue Stark.

Watching the mechs surround them closer and closer, two "Hulk!!!" sounds rang out almost simultaneously. The Hulk leaped out from the crowd, smashing toward the mechs, but was still flexibly dodged.

The Hulk wanted to jump onto the mother nest and smash it, but he jumped up, and the mother nest flashed and disappeared as an information stream. The Hulk fell heavily to the ground, still a bit dazed when he got up, looking up at the empty sky, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Others were struggling to resist the mechs and the mechanical army; only two Spider-Men, taking advantage of the chaos, sneaked to the door of the laboratory.

"Hey, which one are you?" The local Spider-Man said.

"I'm from the main universe." The main universe Spider-Man said, "Which one are you?"

The other Spider-Man looked left and right sneakily, took out his phone, and showed the main universe Spider-Man his Spider-APP page.

"Oh, I remember you, you're the guy who uses the anniversary avatar frame. You shared that apple pie recipe last week, and it even hit the trending list, right?"

"That's right." The local Spider-Man nodded, "Let's add each other as friends."

After saying this, they scanned each other's codes to add friends and sneaked into the laboratory door together. As soon as the door closed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"My god, you have no idea how crazy they are!"

"I'm telling you, they are simply crazy!"

Both spoke in unison, looked at each other, and let out a scream.

"No way, you guys are like that too?"

"Could it be that your Avengers are also..."

The local Spider-Man sighed first and said, "You don't know, Mr. Stark, in order to get the peripheral defense technology of the Red Orchid factory, actually contacted the Royal Guard of the Shi'ar Empire, wanting to get the cracking method from them. Simply seeking skin from a tiger!"

"Don't mention it, the Iron Man in my universe is the same, almost let Doctor Strange go to the Shi'ar Empire to get technology, luckily it didn't happen. They are simply crazy!"

"I don't know what to do either." The local Spider-Man said, "If we don't let the Stark Group get the factory, then it won't be a good result if the US government and military get it! Whoever gets that factory will use it to hit others, right?"

The main universe Spider-Man was also worried; he scratched his head and said, "Currently, it seems better to let the Iron Man of your universe have it; at least he won't use this thing to destroy the Earth."

"Could it be that your universe wants to..."

"The main purpose of the main universe Iron Man controlling the Red Orchid factory is to use the Mother Mold to threaten you and the mutants. It's called mediation, but it's actually wanting to make you subject to the control of the main universe."

"What?!" The local Spider-Man said, somewhat shocked, "How can they do this!"

"It was the mutants who took the initiative to ask for help." The main universe Spider-Man sighed and said, "They have a legitimate reason, and it's justified."

"I said we should help the mutants." The local Spider-Man frowned and said, "But Captain America and the S. H. I. E. L. D. director both felt it wasn't necessary. When the mutant squad was wiped out before, I had a bad premonition. I didn't expect them to drag the multiverse into it. That Iron Man with a different color is also from another universe, right?"

"That's from the central universe, haven't you seen him?"

"Oh, it's him, I haven't seen him wear armor." The local Spider-Man shook his head and said, "He doesn't seem to wear armor often. I thought all Iron Men had the same color scheme."

"What do you plan to do?" The main universe Spider-Man asked.

"I don't think it's a good idea to let our Iron Man get the Red Orchid factory. Those who worry about him using this thing to hit others will go crazy and encircle him. They might trigger a world war!"

Speaking of this, the local universe Spider-Man suddenly paused for a moment, then said, "Then how about letting the Iron Man of the central universe control it? He won't mess around, and he's strong enough that no one can do anything to him."

The main universe Spider-Man shook his head and said, "The problem is that the central universe doesn't practice interventionism. The Iron Man of the central universe isn't here to rule the Earth either."

"Then why did he join the battle just now?" The local Spider-Man asked, somewhat confused.

The main universe Spider-Man shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but they probably have some other arrangements. He doesn't need the factory's technology, nor does he need deterrence. I think it's probably very difficult for you to get him to take over the Red Orchid factory."

"I have to find a way to persuade him." The local Spider-Man said, "Only if he controls the factory and shows sufficiently powerful strength can he calm this terrible storm. Apart from this, there is no other way."

"Then you can try." The main universe Spider-Man said, "Although I don't think there's much hope... oh, he's there."

The main universe Spider-Man looked at Stark, who was standing in the center of the laboratory. The laboratory director and several researchers were confronting him with guns. The two Spider-Men stopped, not daring to go in, worried about stimulating those researchers.

They weren't afraid that bullets could hurt the Iron Man of the central universe, but the laboratory area wasn't large, and ricocheting stray bullets were very likely to hurt themselves. It was best not to appear rashly.

"Don't you understand yet? You have already been abandoned." Stark sighed and said, "If no one betrayed us, how could we have found this place?"

"Then we will never hand over the control of the Red Orchid factory to you! You bunch of cross-dressing lunatics!" The director held the gun and said excitedly, "Don't think about getting any technical data from me!"

"Unfortunately, what I need is not technical data. Schiller." Stark turned back and shouted. A portal appeared behind him, and Magneto walked out.

"Please." Stark said to the researchers, "Believe me, the result of walking out the front door will definitely not be better than accepting the mutants' invitation."
