What's wrong with Superman's son wanting to be Superman?

Page 257

"From our conversations with you and from the information I have gathered about the world today, it is known that we are indeed in the future after you did something that reshaped the universe."

"Why the future? Because only in this way can the person who remains in the past, the one who should bear the name Tony Stark, continue to assist you in recreating all the multiverses."

"It's not what he told you, that his soul has disappeared. The one who possesses a soul is just lying. The truth is that before you create a multiverse, he can only leave himself and his existence in the past because he needs to preserve those souls that haven't had the chance to be reborn."

“The souls of other individuals in countless multiverses need a vessel to protect and carry them in order to have a chance to wait until you create a new universe large enough to accommodate those souls.”

"Only then, Tony, your Tony, will truly disappear from the world along with that past that has nothing left and is destined to be forgotten."

"This is a special way of changing cosmic eras."

"Howard needs my help so that you can complete your duty before Tony's existence begins to be erased by the ultimate length of time."

The new teacher, Tony, spoke like a thunderclap from a clear sky. His tone was serious, and his voice remained unchanged, but his last words struck Ian like a heavy hammer, deeply shaking his soul.

It's not just about gaining a new appreciation for Tony Stark's spirit of sacrifice.

There was also the shock of Howard Stark.

Howard Stark—a name that should only appear in history books and comics, but which doesn't have much screen time—was branding Ian's mind like a hot iron.

"The fact that Howard Stark would make so many arrangements clearly proves that after recording the video that the new Tony showed me, he has figured out the truth that even I, as the person involved, did not understand."

This is what caused Ian's emotions to churn, leaving him speechless.

In the Marvel Universe.

There are too many obsessions.

Odin paved the way for Thor's throne, the Ancient One stole darkness for Earth, Thanos destroyed half of all life to maintain balance... It seems the spotlight always focuses on those big shots.

however.

Some people may just be background characters in a story, or variations that appear in a parallel universe. They may not have many admirers, but they can still do things that many great figures cannot.

Howard Stark.

A mortal.

He actually wanted to use his wisdom and strategy to reverse Tony Stark's destined disappearance.

Howard didn't have the Gungnir, the Time Stone, or even the Super Serum. All he had was an aging body and a heart that disagreed with Tony Stark's decisions.

Perhaps Tony Stark's statement that his father was the greatest scientist was not merely out of personal sentiment, but because Howard Stark truly possessed that great quality.

With the perseverance and insight into the world that a scientist should have—in his unknown laboratory, he calculated again and again the possibility of saving his son.

Even though that son, strictly speaking, no longer belongs to this time and space.

Even if the probability of success is as slim as a speck of dust in the universe.

He must have deduced a possibility that even Tony, who transformed himself into an AI, deemed impossible. Only in this way would Howard begin his so-called scheme.

“This is truly… the craziest thing a mortal father could do.” After a moment of silence, Ian uttered a deeply complex sigh.

In this empty hall.

He offered his absolute respect with a sigh.

Chapter 133 Return to DC! Divine Power Surges!

Howard Stark.

As a character trapped in the "new Marvel story," he was able to break free of the story's framework and, through a recording of Tony Stark, gain insight into the truth of the world.

This is something even gods like Odin couldn't accomplish. It must be said that the most talented member of the Stark family might not actually be Tony Stark, who was chosen by "fate."

"What exactly did Howard glimpse through his time machine?" Ian couldn't help but ask again, as sunlight streamed through the blinds and shone between him and his new teacher, Tony.

Hear the words.

The holographic projection of the new teacher, Tony, flickered slightly in the data stream, and a complex expression, almost human-like, appeared on his face, which was constructed by sophisticated algorithms.

“Just like I said before,” Digital Tony’s voice carried the calmness characteristic of electronic tones, “I don’t know exactly what kind of machine Howard built.”

“But his diary does record some of his discoveries.” As the new teacher Tony spoke, the projection switched, and a holographic image of a yellowed paper diary spread out in the air.

The hasty penmanship was so strong it seemed to penetrate the paper, and some pages were even stained with coffee.

They put a lot of effort into it and were very focused.

of course.

Ian could only sense the writer's emotions while writing, but he couldn't guess the writer's mental state at the time. He couldn't even recognize a single letter of the writing.

It is not encrypted text.

It's just that it's too sloppy.

“Well, Howard would be a good doctor; his handwriting is perfect for writing prescriptions.” Ian noticed a corner of a page that had been repeatedly folded, covered with countless exclamation marks drawn in red pen.

Seeing that Ian could not decipher the handwriting.

New Tony spoke again, "He measured the limit of how long a universe can continue to exist and discovered that the actual length of time our universe has experienced does not match the length of time it should have experienced, with a large data error. This means that the scientifically determined history of the universe is not true."

Good guy.

Howard had indeed touched upon a little-known truth.

Ian looked amazed.

"So, the universe today is indeed still the only remaining doomsday universe, and the only thing that has changed is the fate of this universe?" He also understood the answer Howard had researched.

"Strictly speaking, what has changed is only the future of the past that you experienced. An extreme length of the universe has been artificially divided, and your Tony is stuck in that segment of the past that was cut off."

“And we, and everyone else, are in a future that has been carved out and whose history is being reordered.” The new Tony teacher corrected Ian’s speculation with a more rigorous statement.

Actually, the meanings are not much different.

"I see. It seems that the Infinity Stones, which have been hyped up to the skies, did not actually create a new universe. That makes sense, since all the gods and concepts were in a state of dimensional reduction at that time."

"Even if there really is a Nemesis representing the Infinity Stones, she must have already been reduced to a very weak form."

Ian’s voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. Combining his own understanding of the truth, he was able to verify that Howard Stark’s conclusion was actually more reasonable.

The universe has not restarted.

The Infinity Stones simply cut out a segment of the original universe from a 'future where nothing had ever happened,' and then wrote the current history on that blank space.

It's like tearing out the used parts of a notebook and rebinding it, leaving only the blank pages. Howard Stark, this brilliant scientist, noticed this rebinding trace, followed it to find the truth, and found the torn part.

nowadays.

What no one knows is how much of the future Howard Stark glimpsed, and why he was so determined to save his son, whom he should have never met.

"Is the limit of the universe that you just mentioned also related to the fact that my first teacher, Tony, could not return?" Ian's mind and brain were in a state of extreme activity at this moment.

He discovered a flaw in this explanation—if Tony truly existed in the past, then with the return of the last soul to the multiverse, Tony should have returned with that soul as well. Unless, for some reason, he and a portion of the remaining souls were unable to return.

Ian noticed the concept of "erased by the ultimate length of time" that the new Tony had mentioned before.

"With the progress of our history today, will the past be covered up?" He may be rough in many ways, but his insight into this area has always been quite keen.

In this regard.

A nod from the new stylist could be taken as approval.

"That's right, that's roughly it. In fact, according to scientifically measured history, our universe is still very young. But Howard discovered a different truth."

"Not only was the past false, but the future will be too."

The projection suddenly unfolded into a three-dimensional star map, with countless points of light forming a flowing river of time. At the end of the river, Ian saw an ever-expanding, fragmented darkness.

"As mentioned before, we are in the future of an old era, so the universe is actually nearing its end, but the written history is deceiving everyone."

"The reason why scientists cannot observe this is because someone keeps piecing together 'formatted blank pages' from the past into our future."

"This is how our time can continue to move forward safely—it's like constantly writing new data into a formatted hard drive to maintain the continuation of history."

The star map suddenly distorted.

It turned into a dizzying set of data models. Ian saw countless "blank" time fragments, stitched together like patches at the breaks in the river of time.

This was just an intuitive model presented by the new Tony teacher to make it easier for Ian to understand; he was clearly going overboard, as Ian's super brain had already figured things out for him.

He certainly understood what this force constantly piecing together the future behind the scenes was—Tony, the teacher trapped in the past, the figure carrying the burden for the entire multiverse.

Heroes never leave.

Tony Stark has always been there, using his immense power in a past unknown to anyone, to help fill the void in the future of a seemingly perfect universe.

It's hard to imagine that such a thing could be done.

What level of means and will is required?

That has become a true god.

But they belong to the kind of deities who are willing to wait for the ages of the universe.

"In other words, when the pieces of the past are not enough, my Tony teacher will format his own history and piece it into our universe's future?"

"The real reason why Teacher Tony can't be reincarnated is that his calculations show that no matter how fast I restart the multiverse, I can't do it before he's covered up?"

Ian reached out and touched the holographic images, his fingers tracing through fragments of virtual time. He couldn't describe his feelings at that moment, because he knew he certainly couldn't do such a thing.

Few people can do that.

Even Batman might not be able to.

That requires more than just the nobility of heroes.

There is also the unwavering will to endure endless years of solitude, ensuring that one is not swayed by this state. Ultimately, the giver will also know very well that their dedication is destined to be forgotten.

This is not a simple sacrifice.

This is true dedication.

In this regard.

Not only was Ian deeply affected, but the new Tony teacher also seemed to find it hard to understand. However, it was ultimately just strong artificial intelligence, and its ability to analyze human emotions had always been weak.

The new Tony teacher didn't let this kind of thing take up his computing power.

He heard what Ian said.

So he spoke up again to add to the discussion.
