Chapter 282 Tony Stark's Drifting Diary
Loneliness, depression, fear...
The desperate darkness of the universe spread out before his eyes like fate, making Tony feel breathless.
He was locked in a small aircraft with very little space available, almost like being stuffed in a coffin.
“It is indeed a coffin…”
He thought desperately and had difficulty breathing. The air was as thin as if he was next to a high-temperature furnace. Not only was it hot, but it also seemed to be accompanied by a large amount of sand and dust, blocking his nasal cavity.
But in fact, there was nothing in this small space. He just recalled that when he was still in the cave, the shadow of death was always looming over him. The huge universe was as depressing as a small cave.
He felt dizzy and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The lack of salt made his head heavier, but his body became light.
He recalled the girl's hateful eyes and the words she said not long ago in the Avengers Building.
"Swallowed by darkness, hiding in a small space in loneliness and fear, not knowing when death will come..."
Like now.
Trapped in this tiny flying device, then exiled into the infinite universe, he finally waited in despair for death to take his life.
The difference, of course, is that Tony knows exactly how long he can hold out.
Perhaps in order to allow him to continue to feel the suffocating fear and helplessness that death brings him, as well as the guilt and pain that the world is about to be destroyed because of him, Wanda and Quicksilver specially prepared several oxygen devices for him.
But even so, he would suffocate to death from lack of oxygen after five days.
"Even if we don't consider oxygen, I won't be able to hold on for long without water and food..."
He leaned against the metal plate. There was not enough space for him to sit up. But on the other hand, the small space made Tony feel relieved.
He tried his best to imagine this flying machine, which was as small as a coffin, as some kind of beautiful armor. This way, he felt much more at ease, and even his mind gradually became clear.
He thought of the past, of the miracles he had performed in that cave, but now he could do nothing.
At that time, at least there were terrorists who provided him with materials and tools, but now, there was nothing here and he even had difficulty bending his arms.
Tony looked through the glass into the universe; he was moving away from the solar system quickly.
Originally, he was hoping that once he was launched out of the Earth, someone from the Tiangong Space Station might come to rescue him.
But he was disappointed.
There was no movement from the space station.
"I'm afraid that place has already been occupied by Ultron?" he thought.
Ultron's absolute dominance in the cyber world came to his mind, and he also thought of Wanda, the woman who showed the superpower of being able to control other people's minds. Facing such an enemy, even if he was still on Earth, Tony didn't know how to win.
All of his armor is under Ultron's control. What can he do with his flesh and blood body?
Not to mention, the witch can also directly control him and make him a slave of Ultron.
If it was Bant, could he win?
Tony couldn't help but think about it.
If Bant were still on Earth, would he be a match for Ultron?
"Perhaps..."
"It seems that the witch was found by Bant. She won't attack Bant. Without her help, Ultron is alone. Maybe he can rely on his own ability to suppress Bant with a large number of iron soldiers in a short time, but Bant can definitely invent a program to terminate Ultron. If the two of us join forces, we can definitely invent an artificial intelligence that is more advanced than Ultron!"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Tony's eyes, but it was extinguished in an instant.
He shook his head in self-mockery, as if he felt for the first time how stupid he was.
"What's the use of talking about this now?"
"Bant left the Earth a long time ago. Even if he returns one day, Ultron will probably have gained real life by then, and be reborn from the steel cocoon."
Tony sighed and rested his forehead against the glass in front of him. Through the glass, he saw gray asteroids flashing past him quickly.
The spaceship was going very fast, but not fast enough.
He also fantasized that maybe he would be lucky enough to be discovered by some life form in the universe in the last few days of his life, or land on a planet where he could survive.
In this way, he would have the opportunity to find Bant, tell him Ultron's plan, and then return to Earth with Bant to make up for his mistakes.
Of course, mistakes cannot be made up for.
he thinks.
He became clear about this when he saw the hatred in Wanda and Quicksilver's eyes.
But he should have understood it earlier - when he saw the Winter Soldier kill his parents.
He did not let go of his hatred, nor did he have the right to ask others to let go of their hatred. No matter who launched the missile that killed her parents, he invented it and sold it. From the moment the missile was born, he knew that someone would die because of it, but he didn't care at that time.
In comparison, the Winter Soldier is a tool who knows nothing.
Because of this, Tony didn't hate Wanda and Quicksilver at all for wanting to kill him.
It's just that they were all deceived by Ultron.
After that day, when Tony was imprisoned in this "prison", Ultron probably felt that it was not satisfactory, so he found Tony and explained his plan in detail, that it was never intended to destroy superheroes, that would be of no help at all.
What it wants to destroy is all the intelligent life forms in the universe and create a world that is completely controlled by it!
As long as this is the case, not only the earth, but also the universe will no longer be in conflict, there will be no life and death, no sadness and grief, and of course, there will be no human beings themselves.
It wasn't until then that Tony realized what a terrible lunatic he had created.
The smarter the artificial intelligence is, and the more it has its own thoughts, the less likely it is to think from the perspective of others.
Tony wants to create a peaceful world for mankind, but Ultron believes that peace does not require humans. Peace from machines and inorganic matter is also peace.
Because it doesn't want to see disputes leading to death, killing all lives in advance seems to it to be a completely feasible solution.
Of course, it was hard for Tony to blame it, because there was precedent for this practice in America - in order to prevent others from committing suicide, the police shot them in the head first.
Don’t worry about whether the person is dead or not, just ask whether it was suicide or not!
Tony's thoughts were in a mess. He thought of this and then of Bant.
He felt that Bant was probably the last hope for Earth, but Ultron knew this better than he did.
When he foolishly thought that he was the only one protecting the earth, Ultron had already found a way to intensify the conflict between them and separate Bant and Tiangong from the earth. In a sense, it was his own stupidity that led to Bant's departure.
Tony recalled the time when he spoke harshly to Bant on the mothership, and it seemed like a long time ago now.
"It is well aware of Bant's danger... so it will be on guard against Bant's sudden return. Everyone will be under its control, even the Mind Stone... By then, it will have real life, and perhaps even Bant..."
The more Tony thought about it, the more desperate he felt.
Unless he can meet Bant in the vast universe, or find a way to pass the message to the other party so that Bant can prepare in advance, otherwise, if Ultron is unintentional, Bant may not be his opponent.
But this is destined to be impossible.
He had no idea where the Tiangong Association's headquarters was. At his current speed, it would be impossible for him to reach any planet with life in five days.
Boom!
He slammed his head against the glass.
"I'm such an idiot! A self-righteous fool! I destroyed the Earth!"
At this moment, Tony was filled with only regret. If time could be reversed, he would definitely travel back to the past and give that self-righteous self a severe beating!
Fuck the Ultron Global Defense Program!
Just let the whole world go!
Tony Stark, you deserve to die!
Tony cursed himself in despair.
He thought that everyone who was injured or even died because of Ultron was killed by him, and he was the one who really deserved to die.
But what's the use now?
He is almost dying.
"If I can see Bant again...if I can stop Ultron, I'll do anything!"
Tony thought about it and suddenly felt it was absurd and ridiculous that a person like him was now praying for a miracle.
However, the next moment, a distorted light suddenly appeared not far away.
His eyes widened instantly.
"Is that... a distorted universe? A wormhole?"
Tony recognized the object.
In an instant, his breathing became rapid.
Generally speaking, unknown wormholes in the universe obviously represent a huge danger, because no one knows whether the wormhole is stable or what the situation is on the other side of the channel.
If you rush in rashly, you may be torn apart by the wormhole, or you may end up in a completely unknown and dangerous place.
The universe is not a safe cradle!
But now, Tony seemed to see the last hope.
He began to bang against the cabin, trying to use his own strength to change the direction of the spacecraft and rush towards the wormhole that suddenly appeared.
According to his calculations, at the current speed of advancement, he would not be able to find the next planet with life even after hundreds of years, but an unknown wormhole might be able to help him.
What if there is a cosmic civilization on the other side of the wormhole?
What if they happened to have heard of Tiangong?
What if they happen to have a connection with Tiangong?
They might be able to find Bant, and they would have a chance to stop Ultron!
Although you know that this probability is even more unreliable than finding a needle in a haystack, he can only believe in miracles now.
After all, the worst-case scenario is death, right?
So why not give it a try? !
……
Sakaar.
Kaila raised her head and looked towards the sky.
The sky of Sakaar is usually gray. Due to the instability of space, there are many tunnels surrounding the planet. Various kinds of garbage fall from the tunnels all year round, bringing resources and technology to Sakaar, but also some environmental risks.
Once upon a time, the Saka people called them the Holy Gates.
But now, ever since a raccoon with a careless mouth came here, another nickname has slowly spread - the devil's dermatitis!
"You call it the Holy Gate? My god, these things are the devil's dermatitis! They poop out a bunch of stinky garbage all day long! Fortunately, your king is smart and led them to the satellite, otherwise this broken planet would never be good! Don't expect others to discharge good things into the sewer, unless you are a dung beetle!"
The first half of this sentence aroused dissatisfaction among many people, but the second half was recognized by the Saka people.
On the one hand, Rocket saw that he might be attacked, so he cunningly gave Bant a nudge and praised him for isolating the passage, which made the Sakaar people very impressed. On the other hand, he was telling the truth.
The environment on Sakaar is much better now because these channels have been isolated.
Moreover, advanced technology will not be born from a garbage dump after all. Bant brought a complete technology tree to Sakaar, which changed the originally deformed development of this planet and allowed many lower-class people to live a good life.
Nowadays, Sakaar is developing very well.
Of course, the harm left by the garbage has not been completely eliminated.
Many of these harmful substances have penetrated into the planet's bones like poison. If Bant had not awakened the Thunder of Sakaar and awakened the vitality of the planet, the planet would not be far from death.
At that time, Galactus will arrive and put an end to the life of the planet once and for all.
But now, most places on Sakaar are still full of vitality.
But today, the space channel will be opened briefly, and it will be opened on their own initiative - Kaila saw in the distant sky, a small aircraft appeared from the small wormhole like constipation, and then opened and closed with difficulty, and fell down like a shit egg.
"Looks like our shit has arrived."
Kaila smiled.
It's normal to have big stools and constipation.
She had already learned the plan from Wanda and knew what she was going to do with Tony Stark.
Ultron thought he could block the communications of the Celestial Beings through the quantum realm, but with Dr. Pym's current technology, he couldn't do that. It was just that they themselves did not receive Peter's signal.
"Give him a little pain, eh?"
On the side, Nebula, who is now an assistant, nodded and already had an idea in mind to deal with Stark.
"Let him go to the arena," Keila ordered. "I'll notify the chief of security to prevent the Earth branch from getting out of control."
