Chapter 243: Upside Down Heaven
Fury has reached a point where his body and life are at risk.
The assassins came extremely fiercely, and reinforcements kept coming here.
Fury's eyes lit up instantly. He recognized those people who came. They were all family members of .!
"It's my turn!"
He was suddenly alert and took out a machine gun from the back seat, ready to work together with the group of agents to kill all the assassins.
The reinforcements were getting closer.
Fury opened the car door, lifted his windbreaker, raised a machine gun, walked out of the car with great enthusiasm, ready to kill.
Then he heard excited shouts in the distance.
"Nick Fury's there!"
"Don't let him get away!"
“This is all my credit!”
Some even took out their guns and were ready to shoot without further ado.
Seeing this, Fury's expression did not change at all. He returned to the car without hesitation and closed the door. The whole action process was smooth and flowing, just like rewinding.
After confirming that the car door was closed, his expression finally changed.
"It's over!!!"
Fury clenched his fists tightly, "These beasts, how could they all betray me!"
SHIELD treats them well, and this is how they repay it?
No, Fury will never die here!
He still has one last resort!
The next second, Fury took out a magic book from the Owl School from his arms. Without having time to write, he shouted directly at the cover.
"Master Katoom! Save me!"
……
In Stark Manor, Tony Stark has just finished interviewing Pepper Potts.
Pepper still had work to do, so she didn't stay long.
After the interview just now, Tony was relieved. Pepper had no relative named Howard Potts, so there was no possibility that he and her were related by blood.
Just then, Jarvis' voice sounded in his ears.
"Sir, the program has been cracked."
"Ok?"
Tony was stunned for a moment, then realized that Jarvis was talking about the data he copied back from the Eastern European manor.
There is a complex encryption system on it, and I brought it back and gave it to Jarvis.
"let me see."
Tony clicked on the holographic image, and the encrypted data appeared before him.
He browsed slowly, and as more and more secrets were revealed, Tony's expression became more solemn.
"and many more!"
By the end, Tony couldn't believe his eyes.
"What is this!"
In Baron Strucker's information, the name of a certain organization appears repeatedly - Hydra.
And in Hydra's plan, two names have been mentioned.
Slub and Mtuka.
For some reason, Tony instantly thought of Bruce and Katoom.
These two pairs of names are completely opposite.
Tony widened his eyes and continued to browse the information, wanting to see what secrets were involved behind these two names.
However, it was too late. At this moment, something strange happened.
"Warning! Warning!"
Jarvis' voice suddenly became extremely anxious, with the noise of electricity mixed in his voice.
Tony reacted very quickly. He immediately pressed the button on his watch. A mechanical owl flew over and turned into countless nanoparticles, which were attached to Stark's body.
The blood-edged suit was activated, and blue light appeared in Iron Man's eyes.
But the next second, the blue was covered by red.
"warn……"
Jarvis' voice slowly faded away.
Then, a voice that sounded slightly crazy sounded in Tony's ears.
"Tony Stark, born 1970," the voice said.
"who are you?"
Tony couldn't move at this time, he was completely trapped in the battle suit.
The voice took control of the Iron Man suit with almost no resistance.
"Who am I? Even if I tell you, you probably haven't heard of me."
Suddenly, a holographic face made up of flashing green lines appeared in front of Tony.
The face was fat, bald, and looked a little funny.
"My name is Arnim Zola," the face said, "a man the world has forgotten."
"No, I know who you are."
Unexpectedly, Tony recognized him, "You were a member of Hydra during World War II, and you died many years ago."
"Dead? Yes, that's right."
Dr. Zora's holographic face yawned, "But the death of the body is another kind of rebirth for me.
"In 1972, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Science could no longer save my body, but my mind was worth saving. It was stored in a -foot-long database."
"You're worthy?" Tony raised his eyebrows and said, "My father didn't even keep his brain."
"You mean Howard Stark?" Zora sneered, "He's not a genius, just a businessman."
"Take that back!" Tony's tone became extremely cold.
"Don't be so serious." Dr. Zola said nonchalantly, "Howard is no good, and neither are you. You call yourself a genius, but you are actually just a frog in a well. You have never seen the real sky in your life."
"you!"
Tony was really offended and wanted to curse directly, but at this time, Dr. Zola interrupted him.
"You don't believe me even if I tell you." Zora shook his head and said, "How about this, I'll show you what a true genius is."
At this moment, the world in Tony's eyes changed. The original material world turned into a green data stream, composed entirely of zeros and ones.
Tony stood in it, his battle suit had disappeared, and he was free again.
The ground in front of him bulged up and took the shape of a short and fat human figure, which was Dr. Zora.
"Welcome to my world."
Dr. Zola said, “A world that I have been completely in control of and have been building since 1946.”
1946 is a very special year, as it was the second year after the end of World War II and the year when the computer was invented.
"In this world, I have been carrying out a special plan."
Zora stretched out his hand and waved it casually. The data flow instantly became disordered, and countless 0s and 1s began to converge together.
They formed a human shape, which slowly became real.
A third person has emerged from this green data world.
Tony's pupils contracted. How could he not recognize this person?
His father, Howard Stark!
When Howard appeared, he was obviously a little confused about the situation and was looking around. It was not until he saw Tony and Zola that his expression suddenly became serious.
"Zola?"
He mentioned the man's name. Once upon a time, they were diametrically opposed enemies.
Then, Howard asked in a deep voice: "Potts, why are you with Zora?"
Tony didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Zora nudged Tony with his elbow and said, "Look, your father, whom you have always regarded as an idol, is just a toy that I can easily create."
Toy?
This word completely touched Tony's sore spot. He suddenly jumped up, threw Dr. Zola to the ground, grabbed his short and thick neck, and exerted all his strength.
"Don't insult my father!" Tony said hysterically.
His eyes were red at this moment, like a wild beast out of control.
Zora was pinched tightly by him, but she didn't panic at all. She just sighed softly, and her body turned into a data stream, slipped away from Tony's hands, and then reunited somewhere else.
On the other side, Howard stood there in a daze. He heard Tony's roar just now.
"Father?"
Howard stared at Tony's face carefully, and gradually, this face began to overlap with a young face in his memory.
"You're Tony?"
He woke up as if from a dream, "You are Tony!"
Howard came to Tony, helped him up, and repeatedly confirmed his identity, but he was still confused.
"But why do you look exactly like Potts?"
Tony himself doesn't know the answer.
But Dr. Zola knew, and he laughed and said, "Because Tony is Potts, and Potts is Tony!"
"What?" The one who was most surprised by this sentence was Tony himself.
"I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows this truth."
Dr. Zora smiled and sighed, "In 1970, two years before I died, someone found me and told me an algorithm that was enough to create a new world!
"I have preserved my mind until now, just for this moment!"
at this time?
Tony had no idea what the other person was talking about, but he would soon find out.
"Ugh!!!"
A sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and Tony was wrapped in pain. He fell to the ground, and his chest involuntarily protruded, as if something was about to come out.
No, not like!
At the wound on Tony's chest where the Ark reactor was installed, a digitized hand stretched out from his body.
Then the shoulders, the torso, the head...
Tony watched helplessly as a person emerged from his chest intact and stood in front of him. It was a boy with pale skin and countless sutures on his body.
"So slow."
The boy shook his hands and said expressionlessly, "Do you know how long I have been waiting?"
"Mr. Srubb." Zora smiled broadly, "We finally meet again. You don't know how happy I am!"
"What about me? Aren't you happy to see me?"
Suddenly, a sharp voice was heard.
Sruba opened his chest and saw an owl's face sewn on his chest.
"Mr. Mtuka!" Zora's apologetic smile deepened. "Of course I'm glad to see you again!"
“How happy?” Mtuka asked.
"Third and fourth floors are so happy," Zora said.
Tony stared at everything in front of him, totally unable to understand.
But the combination of the little boy and the owl still reminded him of something.
"It's you!" He stretched out his trembling finger and pointed at the zombie boy. Suddenly he realized, "The figure I saw in the Middle East is you!"
"It seems you are not too stupid."
The zombie boy Slub sneered, "Then the time I wasted with you before was more or less meaningful."
"What the hell is going on?" Tony was completely confused.
"It's normal that you don't understand." Slub shook his head, "But I have no obligation to explain it to you."
Now, it's time to wrap up everything.
Srubb opened his hands, and the entire data world immediately began to boil.
The green data streams took on human shapes, like violent ghosts, and kept rushing towards Tony. Howard stood in front of him, trying to delay the child for a moment, but it was no use.
Tony was controlled by those data ghosts and was sinking deeper and deeper into this data world, just like sinking into a swamp.
"Good night, Mr. Stark...and others."
Srube turned around and slowly walked out of this data world.
"Now, we just need the last piece of the puzzle."
……
"what?"
The sudden sensation made Katum raise his head.
"What's wrong?" Bruce couldn't help but ask.
"I seemed to sense those two guys, but only for a moment, and now they are gone again."
Katum was referring to the two zombies.
Owl had already made arrangements so that it could track through the implanted personality.
But since coming to the Marvel Universe, they seemed to have disappeared and their existence could not be sensed at all.
If Tony hadn't said he had seen it, Katum would have thought they hadn't come to the Marvel world.
Bruce realized something was wrong. Why did they show up at this time? Hydra had just issued a wanted notice for Fury and Tony.
It's really hard not to think about it.
"Bruce, what are you doing?"
At this time, Wanda, who was walking in front, turned around, frowned and urged Bruce not to dawdle.
She kept watching Batboy's movements, as if she was worried that the boy might run away at any time.
Pietro just stood by and watched the fun. There was still tension between Wanda and Bruce, but it was much better than before.
"You blame me just because I walk slower?" Bruce said to Wanda, "No wonder Pietro always secretly complains about you."
Pietro: ?
"I didn't!" Before Wanda's gaze moved over, Pietro quickly raised his hands and explained himself loudly.
"I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Wanda snorted lightly, not dwelling on the topic too much.
They have arrived near Stark Tower. The streets are still crowded with people, and there are a few familiar faces walking in the crowd. They are Hydra agents from ., who have already begun to prepare for action.
"We have to hurry up," Wanda whispered, "or else someone else will get there first."
"Don't worry, they can't steal it." Bruce said casually.
He knew better than anyone that Tony was not in Stark Tower at all.
"How can you be so sure..."
Wanda also found that Bruce was a little too relaxed. She was about to ask him in detail, but at this moment, the originally calm sky underwent an unexpected change.
"what is that!"
Someone on the street was pointing at the sky and shouting, and the people around him looked up and exclamations immediately rang out one after another.
Even Bruce was stunned.
In the sky above, the original blue sky and white clouds disappeared without a trace, replaced by the phantom of an upside-down city.
The city is huge, covering the entire New York.
The shadow kept getting closer, and it seemed that it would collide with New York in the next moment.
"This is……"
For some reason, when Bruce saw the panoramic view of the city in the sky, he felt a familiar feeling in his heart. He must have seen this city before.
"The world of the dead." Katum answered in his ear, "We went there yesterday."
Pietro and Wanda were stunned at this time. They had never seen such a scene before. They tried to explain it away by saying it was a mirage, but they couldn't even convince themselves.
nourish - nourish - nourish -
A strange electric sound rang in the ears of several children, and then a big green hand made up of 0s and 1s appeared out of thin air and grabbed Bruce and the others.
Bruce was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled the two people beside him and dodged to the side, avoiding the big hand.
The data hand struck empty air, and without any pause, it immediately changed direction and grabbed again.
"I feel it again!" Katum suddenly shouted, "Those two guys are causing trouble!"
At this moment, the owl did not hesitate at all and suddenly crashed into the data stream. The tangible big hand shattered, and 0s and 1s poured all over the ground, bouncing on the ground like marbles and quickly disappeared.
When Katum flew back onto his shoulder, Bruce couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"
"Just give it a try."
Katum shook his feathers, and countless tiny blue arcs shuttled through them. "I think the electric current should have some interference effect on something like data."
Is that right?
If the electric current can work, then I don't have to worry at all.
Bruce flicked his hand, and the Supreme Wand appeared in his hand, with sparks flashing at the tip, ready.
"coming soon."
Katoom whispered in Bruce's ear.
Sure enough, in the next second, the city in the sky suddenly dropped and merged with the real New York in an instant.
The people who were walking in panic on the street suddenly stopped.
They didn't move at all, and even their expressions retained the fear from just now, like a frozen frame in a movie.
Bruce looked back and found that Wanda and Pietro were also in this strange state.
"Static force?" Bruce first thought of this possibility, but quickly rejected it.
This is the Marvel world. We can’t even use the speed force, let alone the stasis force?
He suddenly felt something in his heart and turned around, then saw a little boy who looked exactly like him standing in the middle of the crowd, looking at him calmly.
The moment their eyes met, an inexplicable sense of familiarity emerged in Bruce's heart.
It seems like this kind of eye contact has happened many times.
When is it
Bruce tried hard to think about where he had made eye contact with this person.
The boy walked through the crowd, approached, and finally stopped not far from Bruce.
"Finally I see you, Bruce Wayne."
The little zombie smiled and said, "I have always been looking forward to a meeting like this, instead of having a thick barrier between us like before."
"I want to see you, too." Bruce had regained his composure by now. "What's your name?"
"Srub Enwe." said the little zombie.
"That's an easy name to remember."
Bruce looked around, everything was frozen, "You did all this?"
"Is it okay?"
Srubb seemed to be waiting for Bruce's approval. "I put a lot of thought into it in order to stand before you in an upright manner."
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly refuted him: "It's not 'I', it's 'we'!"
"Who's talking?" Bruce asked.
Slub smiled and pulled open his clothes, revealing the face of a zombie owl.
The other party was chattering non-stop, blaming Slub: "We all worked hard together, but you always take the credit for yourself!"
Bruce was a little confused by this bizarre scene.
"How did you become like this?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Just a small attempt."
Srubb deadpanned, "If you and Katum can become one, then so can we."
"I see." Bruce said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the Supreme Wand, and the wand returned to the shape of a hammer handle.
Countless pieces of the hammer flew out from Katum's feathers and were pieced together on the handle. Thor's hammer became complete again.
"Actually, I still have a lot of questions for you."
Bruce said, "But now is clearly not the time."
