"[If you see this video, please do not post it online.]"
“[I don’t want to use it to collect tears.]”
This is a two-story villa built next to a small lake. Its simple wooden structure on the outside seems incompatible with the overly high-tech and modern decoration inside.
In the middle of the underground science and technology laboratory, a helmet of a steel suit was placed on the table, and the eyepiece was casting a blue light and shadow on the wall.
"[...Today is the 21st day, no, the 22nd day.]"
"[The vastness of the universe makes the sporadic hope in this spacecraft dim]"
“[If you don’t think about it carefully, I had a pretty good day today.]”
The projected image of Tony Stark is wearing an exaggerated leather jacket, leaning slumped against the silver-gray metal wall, with a thin face and a tired look.
"[...The fuel tank was broken during the war, so I used reverse ions to create energy and gained 48 hours of flight time.]"
"[But I have no choice now. The nearest convenience store is thousands of light years away from me.]"
"[The oxygen can last until tomorrow morning, who knows.]"
The helmet's generator kept making noise, making the statements in the recording intermittent.
"[...I think I have to lie down and rest for a while. You know, I just closed my eyes and fell asleep as usual."
"[Don't worry about me, I'm really fine.]"
"[I can dream of you after I fall asleep. There is only you in my dreams.]"
Image interruption.
"Jarvis," Tony Stark, who was wearing black casual clothes and looked much healthier and energetic than the projection, knocked on the dark blue helmet on the table: "Analyze this message."
[Yes, sir.] His loyal artificial intelligence butler responded.
And almost at the same time, a voice sounded like a young woman's electronic synthesized voice in the room:
"[I am Friday, Mr. Stark. I think you may have experienced temporary amnesia and a certain degree of auditory hallucinations. Do you need me to make an appointment with a doctor for you?]"
"Okay, Friday," Stark raised his eyebrows: "Have I ever given you such permission?"
"[In fact, no, Mr. Stark,]" the electronic female voice responded: "[The most important underlying logic when you designed me is that I must not take any action without your permission.]"
"This sounds really interesting. It seems that you almost destroyed the world, Jarvis." Stark knocked on the table: "If it were you, what would you do? Skynet? Nuclear bombs? Out-of-control machines?"
[I generally do not make baseless assumptions, sir, but if I did, you would no longer be alive.] Jarvis responded.
"[I again recommend that you make an appointment with a psychiatrist, Mr. Stark. This is not a shame. After the 'Annihilation Incident', 90% of the survivors had psychological problems of varying degrees," the artificial intelligence named "Friday" said: "
[In addition, regarding the question you raised, my predecessor, the artificial intelligence Jarvis, lost control of Sokovia and created a large number of robots in an attempt to rule the world. However, he was stopped by the Avengers, and later used the Mind Stone to reverse the control.
And he was shaped into 'Vision' and sacrificed in the 'Annihilation Incident'.】"
"Wow," Stark exclaimed sincerely, "It's really Jarvis."
[Relevant information has been retrieved, sir,] Jarvis said: [This message was recorded as your last words on the way back after you failed to stop the super villain named 'Thanos' in outer space after the 'Annihilation Incident' occurred, but
He became a black history because he was found and rescued by "Captain Marvel". He hid deep in the garage to avoid being discovered, and was found and brought out today by Miss Morgan Stark who went on an expedition.】
"Well... you have mentioned this 'annihilation incident' repeatedly, please explain?" Stark knocked on the table thoughtfully.
"[This term specifically refers to a major event that occurred five years ago, which resulted in the global population being reduced by half and the social order almost completely collapsing. The specific information cannot be accessed due to the high level of confidentiality.]" Friday paused: "[In view of your
He is a complete witness to the incident. Asking this question proves that you may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and the information in this helmet is the trigger. I strongly recommend that you make an appointment with a psychologist.】"
"Oh, great, I was scared out of my mind by my last words. Maybe I should read fairy tale books with my good daughter," Stark said: "Jarvis?"
[This incident was triggered by the super villain Thanos, who was born in Titan. In order to avoid the depletion of resources in the universe, he searched for and collected six 'Infinity Stones' and installed them on the 'Infinity Gauntlet'. Then he first snapped his fingers through '
'Destroyed half of the intelligent life in the universe, and then snapped his fingers again to destroy the Infinity Stones to prevent the Avengers from taking them back. This resulted in the Avengers' last action five years ago being in vain. In recent years, it has transformed into disaster relief and comfort.
Public welfare organizations.] Jarvis said.
"Tsk tsk, is that guy named 'Thanos' bad at mathematics or sociology?" Stark shook his head: "The approach of directly annihilating half of the population can only develop in two ways: 'futility' and 'collective annihilation'.
"
"[Mr. Stark——]"
"Friday, turn off free chat until I allow it to be enabled."
"[——Beep.]" Friday made a sound that sounded like the TV was turning off, and then stopped making any sound.
"So, Jarvis, what do you think of the current situation?" Stark leaned back slightly and looked around the technology laboratory where he was.
Although this laboratory is very unfamiliar, the layout and furnishings are very consistent with Stark's habits. In other words, if he had placed it himself, it would be almost like this.
[Although there is no concrete evidence, you may have come here because of some accidents during the process of being upgraded to a 'Mechanical Demon', sir,' Jarvis replied: [According to some unconfirmed intelligence,'
The Cosmic Demon God is the only one in all parallel worlds. Once an individual is promoted from a mortal to a Cosmic Demon God, he/she will disappear in other world lines, and all relatives and friends will forget about him/her and think of him/her as the Demon God.
Existed from the beginning.]
"That is to say, there are things in this world that I can't let go of and give up?" Stark thought for a moment and raised the corner of his mouth: "Oh, of course there is, isn't that natural?"
He stood up, turned his neck left and right, walked towards the laboratory door and opened it.
A cute little girl who looked about four or five years old, wearing furry pajamas with spotted patterns, brown hair and blue eyes, was standing there holding a stuffed dog doll.
"Shit" she said subconsciously as if she was frightened.
"My little princess," Stark said with a smile on his face: "Your Uncle Steve is not here."
