With Killian's death, terrorist attacks never occurred again. Tony later learned from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s in-depth investigation that the evildoer was not the Mandarin but Killian, a dog-like scientist.
Of course, the person who destroyed Kilian was the even more terrifying Mandarin, which made people completely confused as to whether he was happy or sad.
Tony's condition is very bad. He feels even scarier than when he was about to die from palladium poisoning. At least at that time, he knew why he would die and when he would die. But now Tony has no idea who will die in the hands of the earth.
An evil villain or an alien military force?
He didn't know, he didn't know anything, he could only continue to blindly develop the steel suit. Until that day, Duran suddenly appeared in the most rigorous workshop of the Stark Building.
After Stark moved the steel suit here, no one had come to visit yet. In the production workshop of the steel suit, Duran just appeared, and Stark was so frightened that he immediately put on the suit.
"This is private property." Stark said to Duran: "And you have no reservation." As he said that, all the weapons on the Mark 42 were pointed at Duran.
Duran looked at the production line in the workshop and said leisurely: "Mr. Stark, if I want to kill someone, you will be dead when you see me." "I'm not here to fight this time.
, I’m not trying to instill chaos into you, I’m just telling you a few words from my heart.”
Seeing that Dulan was so confident, Tony was afraid of what Dulan might do next: "Want to chat with me? My fees are very high."
"I know you have been very anxious recently. You are afraid of the powerful enemies hidden in the deep universe. You are also afraid that evil criminals like us will threaten the people you care about. You are afraid that one day you will die in battle."
"What's going on? Have you changed your career to be a psychological counselor?" Tony would not admit that Duran had tricked him. He continued to target him. As long as Duran made any representative action, he would kill Duran immediately.
"I know you are confused, and I can tell you: I will not kill you until you superheroes grow up." "Actually, I understand the importance of order better than you do. Only with order can chaos be tolerated.
Take it out. This world cannot only have order or chaos. When the world is controlled by the cage of order, all behaviors are allowed; when the world is controlled by the power of chaos, everything is nothing." All things.
Everything is empty, everything is allowed.
I have to say that Duran's words made Tony change his mind: "You don't want to completely push order, just because you need order to support your concept of chaos? To be honest, I have to change my view of you, you
Not a madman, but a complete bastard, the most asshole I have ever seen." "Not only did you regard order as the enemy, you also deceived your own subordinates. You promoted chaos so hard, but in the end you said you would not use it.
Chaos will be carried out to the end, and I think those who follow you will be very sad when they hear this."
"So I am only telling you this." Duran said: "Now that you know my true philosophy, you should also put down your anxiety. You and I are not complete enemies. We can also cooperate. For example, I
I can help you overcome your fear now.”
Tony said that this joke is not funny. Cooperating with the masked man? Isn’t this asking for death?
"No need, I am a billionaire and can hire the best psychiatrist in the world."
"But it's not as good as me." Dulan smiled: "Actually, you don't have to worry. As a superhero, you just need to build a scale early on, and put the weight of innocent people and the weight of your relatives and friends on both sides. As a hero, sometimes
You have to make a choice: save the suffering people who have nothing to do with you, or save your loved ones who are closely related to you. You see, your problem is actually that simple. Of course, it will be difficult to implement, and I understand it."
It has to be said that the masked man really relies on his mouth to eat, and Tony also discovered the root of the problem. In fact, when his ability is limited and he can only make a choice, he doesn't know whether to follow his heart or his conscience.
Deep down in his heart, Tony naturally only wants to save the people he cares about, but his conscience can't bear it. If he listens to his conscience and saves those who have nothing to do with him, the threshold in his heart will stop him.
Tony was so anxious because he was faced with a dilemma and chose the most difficult rescue method, but was unable to do so.
The question is simple, but the answer goes straight to the soul.
"Don't make it sound like you know it, you're just a criminal." Tony's words became excited when he was told the central issue.
"Why are you so serious? We are just solving the problem." Duran said: "Relax, there are many ways to solve this problem. You just need to admit that you need help. Whether it is your teammates, Avengers, or your enemies.
Mask Association will lend a helping hand."
It's so funny, the Mask Society actually said they wanted to help, Tony said, is this April Fool's Day?
But Dulan is serious: "Didn't you already master the Extremis virus? I can teach you how to develop the Extremis armor. This is a repairable bio-metal, its strength is not weaker than vibranium, and it can also generate its own energy.
, it will be a new set of powerful and environmentally friendly steel suits. The Extremis Armor will be stronger than all your previous armors, and it can also be used as a base to develop other targeted armors, such as Anti-Hulk, Anti-Thor, and Anti-Thor.
Magneto, you can rebel against anyone you want anyway."
"It's tempting, but I don't think you have such ability."
"So do you know who I am? And how well do you know my abilities?" Duran asked.
"I know that you appeared during World War II. It can be inferred that you have lived for a long time, but what? Living a long time does not mean that you know more. We know that you are not an ordinary person, and you gave the Mandarin
Is the ring also a collection of your long life?" Tony said, but combining the Extremis virus with armor is a good idea, he can try it.
But Tony was wrong, because those ten rings were made by Duran himself.
"You don't understand me enough, you all do." Duran said: "I won't force you to accept my help, but I want you to know that I will help you if you need it." "Thank you, Jarvis, I
gone."
Jarvis responded: "Walk slowly, sir." It was as if Duran was his master.
Tony gasped. Jarvis was his personal electronic butler. When did he and the masked man reach an agreement? It seems that Jarvis opened the door for the masked man, but he shouldn't think about this now. He must not let the masked man do it again.
Escaped. Catch him and throw him into SHIELD's special prison.
But the armor controlled by Jarvis restarted the Mark 42 Prodigal Son. When Tony saw things again, Duran was gone.
"At least now it seems that we know too little about Duran." Tony knew that Duran was definitely a technological genius that did not belong to him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to hack into Jarvis.
But what is this feeling of peace of mind about? Tony found that he was less anxious. Could it be that he was also affected by the masked man?
A terrible person. Tony said that this masked man is really terrible. Whether it is order or chaos, it is just his way of playing with the world. It is simply unreasonable for such a person to live for such a long time.
