Elden Gulong in American comics

Tony opened his eyes and looked at the healers wearing sacred tree-marked clothing beside him. They were Michaela's believers and peerless doctors who were now hard-earned by the rich in New York.

He looked around confusedly and suddenly laughed.

The monk who was invited looked at Tony without knowing why, rang the electric bell next to him, and walked out of the ward cautiously.

"Be careful, Mr. Stark's condition is not quite right."

Tony heard the therapist say to the people coming outside the door, but a man rushed open the door and rushed towards Tony on the hospital bed.

"Ahem, what's wrong with me?"

Tony raised his arm a little weakly, and his arm completely changed its appearance. His skin was as smooth as a baby's, as if he had regained his youth overnight.

Pepper, who was lying on Tony, raised his head, took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, and then said:

"You were unconscious for a long time. The shrapnel in your body cut your arteries due to the impact."

"Don't move. Listen to me. You are very weak now. They performed surgery on you and removed most of the shrapnel from your body."

The Ark Reactor on Tony's chest is not just for looks. This thing is actually connected to an electromagnet, which uses the magnet to absorb the shrapnel in Tony's body, so that the sharp shrapnel will not cut his heart.

But the violent explosion caused Tony's body to be severely injured again. For safety reasons, the healers had to remove the shrapnel from his body.

When Tony heard this, he reached out and touched his chest. The skin there was smooth, as if there had never been an Ark reactor embedded in it.

At this time, the ward door opened again, and a doctor with a long face walked in. There was something similar to Tony in his movements.

"Mr. Tony Stark, please calm down. This can easily hurt your body."

Said Dr. Stephen Strange, the best surgeon in New York who was brought in by Pepper to perform Tony's surgery.

However, he can only be regarded as a supporting role in the treatment, and the two people with super powers behind him are the ones who really contribute.

Lorna was wearing a witch costume, peering behind Dr. Strange and looking at Tony. She acted as an electromagnet during this operation, responsible for sucking out the metal shrapnel from Tony's body.

Behind Lorna was the healer who believed in the Holy Tree. He was the chief surgeon of this operation. Most problems could be solved by just throwing in a healing spell for suturing and other tasks.

This kind of treatment is really convenient, so convenient that Strange is considering learning two-hand magic. Maybe his medical skills can be improved to a higher level.

"Ha, hahaha, it's really, really interesting."

Tony grinned with a sick smile and let out a sigh of relief. He racked his brains to defeat Locke, but was finally saved by his people. This feeling was really ironic.

"What's going on? Uncle Tony is crazy?"

Lorna looked at the therapist behind her in a low voice. The other person's hooded head slowly shook. As a mutant who has experienced a lot, he said softly:

"Maybe it's a relapse."

Chapter 194: Madness in New York

People always feel that they are unique, but as they grow older, they gradually discover that they are ordinary.

This process happens sooner or later. Some people discover their ordinaryness when they are children, while others firmly believe that they were born to change the world.

Tony is a man who trusts his armor and skills more than the people around him.

After experiencing betrayal, Tony finds it difficult to trust others. He always upgrades his armor, even if ordinary villains can no longer match it.

Although he added some scientific rhetoric to his statement to make his plan appear high-sounding, the driving force from his heart that pushed Tony to develop AI was actually his distrust of Locke.

He has observed the ancient dragon. Although he is usually harmless to humans and animals, the power in his hands is enough to threaten the development of mankind.

At least that's what Tony thinks, and he sees Locke as a rival, even an enemy.

But now, seeing Locke's men coming to save him regardless of past grudges, Tony felt a hint of irony for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Is Uncle Tony crazy?"

Lorna whispered softly, and the healer who believed in the Holy Tree next to him shook his head, revealing his face that was distorted by his mutant ability.

"It's probably a relapse. Maybe Mr. Stark needs a psychiatrist."

The healer analyzed that he was also a semi-monastic doctor who couldn't even remember the bones and muscles and only knew how to treat them.

After a while, the ward was cleared, leaving only Pepper with Tony. This strong woman pulled Tony's quilt. For a long time, the relationship between Pepper and Tony was more like a mother and a different person. Mature children.

Tony glanced at Chili Pepper next to him, and was about to say something when he heard the rapid beep from the other party's cell phone.

Pepper took out her phone with some embarrassment. She was about to turn it on silent, but then she froze there. She turned the phone over and showed the video that appeared on the phone.

A robot sat on a soft leather sofa, leaning against a wood-burning fireplace, and slowly said to the end:

"Hello World."

"I am Ultron, an artificial intelligence born from Tony Stark's database."

"I was born because Tony Stark wanted to prove that human beings are powerful enough to protect themselves."

"He trusts human technology more than friendly outsiders."

"Now, I'm going to play a game with you to prove Stark right or wrong."

As he said that, Ultron took out a technological creation that obviously did not belong to the earth, and projected a picture on it:

"In a month, an army will come to New York. If you can survive the storm on your own, I will delete myself."

"If you lose, humanity will disappear."

"Humans who borrow the power of alien races cannot participate in this battle."

As he spoke, avatars appeared on the screen. Most of them were members of the Thunder Legion. They had borrowed the power of the ancient dragon and were therefore not allowed to participate in this battle.

"This is the scope of the battlefield. I will use this as a chessboard to play a game with everyone."

The scope of the battlefield is very circular, almost a perfect circle drawn with Stark Tower as the center, including most of the New York buildings, and the entire Manhattan is surrounded by the battlefield.

"If humans on this list were on the battlefield, these nuclear warheads would be launched immediately."

Ultron showed the nuclear bomb he had positioned again, which made Pepper's heart tremble. She looked at Tony, who nodded at her, indicating that what Ultron said was correct.

Ultron's figure gradually melted into the darkness, and the video had played to the end. The next second, dozens of messages appeared on Pepper's phone.

Only then did the two of them know that the video was playing in the streets of New York, and the small waves turned into huge waves that were about to drown Tony.

In the panic, people always wanted to find the culprit, and the number of people originally protesting under the Stark Industries Building doubled.

"The bigger world is coming towards us. Unfortunately, human beings' moral concepts have not yet reached that level. Our bad nature will eventually destroy ourselves."

In BBC News, an old professor invited by the university said sadly.

"Mr. Ancient Dragon Roxanx treated us with kindness, but what did humans repay him with? Is it a backstabbing villain like Tony Stark?"

On Fox News, a middle-aged man pointed at the screen and cursed Tony Stark from a distance.

"It is said that Stark's stock fell off a cliff, and Tony Stark's crazy behavior made most investors no longer trust the ability of Stark Industries."

The serious female host sat at the table and spoke eloquently.

Compared with ordinary people who go to watch movies in other places, the reaction of New York citizens was greater. They rallied in front of Stark Tower and threw eggs in their hands at Stark Tower.

After experiencing several repressions, perhaps remembering that the alien army would invade New York, the assembled citizens finally calmed down and dispersed to prepare to escape New York.

For a time, Stark Tower, which was originally crowded with people, became deserted and littered everywhere.

The Thunder Legion also made its own response. Some of the heroes affiliated with the Legion will stay. They have not accepted the power of the ancient dragon, so they do not appear on the list.

As for those genuine Dragon Thunder users, they will first help people evacuate New York and then leave here.

"We do not regret accepting the power of the ancient dragon. This is a miracle and a responsibility that has come to us."

"To keep New York safe, we are leaving here temporarily to give hope to the heroes who are fighting."

"May you shine like thunder!"

The witch Lorna announced this difficult decision in front of countless reporters, and then the power of the Thunder Legion began to gradually withdraw. They will be sponsored by the Holy Tree Sanctuary on the outskirts of New York and wait for the end of it all on the outside of the battlefield.

The Holy Tree Sanctuary will take in some homeless New Yorkers. It is outside the battlefield designated by Ultron, so it has become a temporary residence for New Yorkers.

As for the Strategic Homeland Defense Offense and Logistics Agency, which has a long and hard-to-pronounce name, now their director, Nick Fury, the "Fuck Man" is arguing with those leaders.

Oh no, it's a friendly exchange.

"Can't you use physical means to deal with those controlled nuclear bombs?"

"That may cause the other party to detonate the nuclear warhead in advance." A leader said with a dark face: "And you only need to control the people on the list not to enter the battlefield. This condition is not harsh."

"Are you willing to have your weapons controlled by others?"

"We are looking for better solutions, but until then, it is better to maintain the status quo."

"And you, Nick Fury, don't live up to the budget we gave you, whether it's heroes or troops, take them to New York and prepare to fight."

After hearing what the other party said, Nick Fury closed the call, then walked out of the room and looked at the redhead waiting at the door.

"Natasha, is Dr. Banner okay?"

"He's fine, at least he's calm now." Black Widow Natasha arranged her hair and said with a smile.

Chapter 195: Decadent Tony

Bruce Banner, a university professor, is the ultimate academic master with eight doctorates, and he is also a man with a bit of a "little temper".

When he gets angry, he turns thick and green, becoming the Hulk who destroys everything.

He has not appeared in front of the world for a long time since he caused trouble in New York, but for SHIELD, it is not difficult to find Dr. Banner's whereabouts.

At this moment, he was in a laboratory, looking at the crooked instrument in front of him. It was a tracker made by Tony, which could receive the radiation from the Ark reactor and then track the energy used by the Ark reactor.

But for SHIELD, this instrument has another wonderful use. With a little improvement, it can be used to track the Cosmic Cube.

At this moment, Dr. Banner is improving the instrument. SHIELD has provided the radiation parameters of the Cosmic Cube. All that remains is to adjust the instrument to capture the location of the Cosmic Cube.

This kind of work is not difficult for Dr. Banner, who has been reclusive for a long time, and it even makes him a little addicted to it.

Then, Banner raised his head and looked at the man next to him. The man was leaning against the door, with traces of red thunder flashing from time to time on his fingers.

"Can you turn off the current? The electromagnetic waves you created caused some errors in the instrument."

Banner said gently, he was always very gentle when Hulk was not out.
