Marvel's genius inventor? I'll make a wish-granting dragon with my own hands.

If one day, a cute little girl knocks on your door, claims to be your future wife, and offers you three houses and a dowry of 3000 million yuan.

Would you choose to believe it?

When Tony Stark heard Banner recount that there were people in the world who could manipulate time, he felt a surge of emotions, finding it utterly absurd and laughable.

It's a ridiculous line that you might not even be able to fool a 60-year-old woman with.

But when he heard Banner say that he could resurrect people who had been dead for more than ten years, he was shocked.

The mockery on his face vanished instantly.

Instead, my heart suddenly stopped, as if it were stuck there.

Tony wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was quite intelligent. All sorts of doubts from the past instantly ran through his mind and kept resurfacing before his eyes.

Despite claiming to be Howard, the father of the clone, he left no record in the family and did not leave a clone for his beloved wife Maria.

Despite claiming to be a clone, he knew everything about his cause of death, including that he was killed by an assassin and that the assassin took his things—details that even his son didn't know.

Howard kept assuring him that he would definitely be able to revive Maria, but he never explained any progress or plans to him.

If the other party truly possesses a clone of their mother, and it's because their technology has stalled, then they will definitely need to recruit various biological talents to form a research team.

If the other party doesn't have a clone of the mother, it means the mother is truly dead. What kind of science and technology could truly bring a dead person back to life?

Where does Howard get his confidence?

Tony brainstormed, and an extremely bold guess flashed through his mind, making him realize something.

He frowned and asked, "Jarvis, is the old man on good terms with this Agent Luo? How much interaction do they have, and what do they usually talk about?"

"Sorry, sir, at Mr. Howard's request, this is his personal privacy, and I cannot disclose these matters to you."

"!"

Tony grew impatient, waving his hand and emphasizing, "I am your master!"

"Sir, I am obeying your orders."

Jarvis is a top-tier intelligent life form with intelligence comparable to that of humans. He abides by the rules set by Tony, but also provides some information to the other party: "The relationship between Mr. Howard and Mr. Russell is not that bad."

Not being bad means being good.

There's a secret between Russell and Howard.

And it was the secret of resurrecting his mother.

Tony sat on the sofa, waiting quietly for Russell to get up for the first time in his life. Usually, it was others who waited for him.

He was in a state of utter confusion.

He hoped that time could be manipulated so that his mother could be resurrected.

But we also hope that time is not to be trifled with. This is the bottom line for a scientific genius. It's just that Howard was deceived. It's reasonable for someone from the old era, an old man nearing eighty, to fall into a scam of the new era.

"good afternoon!"

Russell carried the cat that was running around and snuggling against his bed for warmth as he came downstairs, glancing at Tony and Banner sitting in the living room.

His senses are extremely sharp.

When the other party arrived near the villa silently, they had already noticed their presence, but Russell did not step in to stop Tony and Banner's conversation.

Even if it involves some of his secrets.

Firstly, because...

From the very beginning, Russell had designated Tony as the guardian of the Dragon Balls. To win over such a super genius and tycoon, it was natural to demonstrate some strength and mystery.

Secondly, because...

After he made his wish with Shenron yesterday, Shenron transformed into a giant Dragon Ball and scattered to various places. It is extremely difficult to collect them all, and he needs someone to help him.

Furthermore, Russell also encountered the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, and found the path to learning magic.

Both of these paths require Tony's help.

Let Tony research a device that can traverse space, so that he can use the Space Stone to search for the Dragon Balls in the vast universe.

Let Tony study magic.

And then they modified these magical techniques.

Being a sorcerer in the Marvel Universe is not easy. It's not that magic is extremely difficult, but rather that this universe lacks magical power. All sorcerers obtain their energy from the magical gods of Vishanti.

In other words.

All the power of the mages is borrowed.

They are all super debtors, and each time they borrow a small amount, they are extremely careful when using it, and they even wish they could fight each other with their bare hands, becoming melee mages.

Especially the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, can be described as the king of debts among kings of debts.

Compared to the Ancient One, the so-called new generation of Ultraman next door is as green as a lamb, and their debts are extremely troublesome.

"How do I pay off the debt?"

"Just kill the creditors!"

Dormammu of the Dark Dimension: ...

Dormammu: Ancient One! How could you be so selfish?!

Russell didn't want to become a debt king; he wanted to use the energy within him, or something like an arc reactor, to serve as the energy source for his magic.

This requires genius research.

If Tony could become the Sorcerer Supreme and create the Supreme Magic Armor in other universes, these things should be a piece of cake for him.

So he didn't hide himself.

Waiting patiently for Tony's question.

Tony Stark was clearly getting impatient and pressed him directly, "What exactly is your relationship with my father, Howard? Don't tell me you're my ridiculous half-brother!"

"No, it's not that bad. It's just that I needed him, so I dug up his grave and brought him back to life."

Tony had already guessed it.

But when I heard this sentence...

His face still couldn't hide his disbelief.

Banner, who was eavesdropping nearby, gasped in horror. To bring the dead back to life, and someone who had been dead for over a decade at that—how terrifying!

"How did you do that?"

Russell stretched out his palm, and in that palm, the power of the gems hidden within him was re-condensed. The Time Stone and the Reality Stone floated there, shimmering with light. "The universe is vast and boundless. Over the long years, some strange treasures have been born, possessing incredible divine power. And resurrecting the dead is just a very simple operation."

Just two broken stones.

Does that mean it violates physics?

Tony didn't believe him. "Where did you get that from?"

This is a secret.

Only the most handsome, richest, and smartest person in the world knows the origin of these two gems.

Russell shrugged. "One day, I met a bald immortal dressed in yellow robes. He said I had the potential to be a supreme being and would save the universe in the future, so he gave it to me."

"Shouldn't it be an old man with a white beard?"

Tony said with a sneer, "Although the plots written by those third-rate online novelists aren't even half as exciting as my life, they can definitely help you sleep. I know a thing or two about that."

Russell's story is so unbelievable.

The more he talks, the more he sounds like a liar.

How could time manipulation possibly exist in the scientific world!

How could there possibly be a resurrection?

How could there possibly be a bald, yellow-robed immortal!

This must be a scam. If all of this were true, then Tony Stark's children would never have any spiritual roots!

Just as Tony's sharp eyes were about to expose Russell's despicable trickery in one fell swoop, he saw Russell smile slightly and then snap his fingers.

The red Reality Gem shimmered.

With a stunned expression, Tony watched as his expensively crafted Iron Man armor detached, transforming him into...

Miniature figurines?

Tony: !

Tony: Physics no longer exists!
