Extra Story - Thanos of the Future Chapter (1)

titan star.

On the vast and distant alien planet, Tony leaned on the ruins with a numb expression.

Not long ago, he teamed up with Doctor Strange and members of the Guardians of the Galaxy to ambush Thanos here.

However, this battle ended in a disastrous defeat.

Tony even watched helplessly as Little Spider and the chubby Dragonfly, two half-sized superheroes, dissipated in front of him.

He was the one who allowed the two to participate in the ambush, and now he can't bring them back to Earth.

On Tony's body, the Mark60 built with the fire source as the carrier is constantly absorbing the surrounding alien spaceship wreckage, and is carrying out self-repair work in an orderly manner. A large number of metal mechanical remains were transformed by the power of the fire source, and became part of the battle suit according to the program set inside Mark60.

At the same time, Mark60's medical system also started emergency first aid treatment for Tony's injuries.

With a layer of medical-grade nano-bandage wrapped around the wound, Tony's pale complexion eased somewhat.

Supporting his scarred body, he stood up using the endoskeleton device of Mark60.

Trembling, Tony came to the place where the little spider disappeared, and picked up a broken mechanical device from the ruins.

Silk catapult.

This is the little spider who was knocked down in the battle with Thanos just now, and it is for this reason that he did not dissipate with him.

"..."

Clenching the broken spider silk catapult tightly in his hand, Tony's numb eyes flashed a trace of undetectable fluctuations.

However, the fluctuating emotions in his heart have not yet emerged.

On the empty and silent Titan star, a huge pink old-fashioned wooden door appeared out of thin air.

"Look here, I am Mr. Mission Must Da!"

However, the person who came out of [Any Door] was not anyone from the SC Foundation that Tony was familiar with.

"【Mr. Mission Must Achieve】?!"

What came out of the [Any Door] of the SC Foundation was actually [Mr. Mission Must Achieve] summoned through the [Response Box].

Witnessing the scene in front of him, even Tony, who was devastated, couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"The moment has finally come..."

Compared to Tony's surprise at the moment.

The face of [Mr. Mission Must Da] who appeared in [Any Door] was full of madness.

It rushed in front of Tony, and his blue face was filled with mixed and frantic emotions.

"It's too painful, all of this is suffering for a missionary must reach, why, why should a missionary must be tortured like this, I want to disappear, I want to leave this world, but I can't do it, because I have to complete the Ph.D. The task assigned, no, all of this is simply a disaster, every minute and every second of existence in this world is a painful torture for the mission to reach..."

Before completing the mission, [Mr. Mission Must Reach] cannot disappear.

Recalling the content about "Mr. Mission Must Achieve" in his mind, Tony's expression under the steel mask changed a bit.

But [Mr. Mission Must Da] in front of him stuffed the things in his hands into his hands without hesitation, and at the same time, the expression on his face also showed a look of relief.

"Oh, I've done my job, I can disappear."

Accompanied by excited cheers, [Mr. Mission Must Da] in front of Tony turned into a cloud of blue smoke and dissipated.

[Mr. Mission Must Da] The way of disappearing is somewhat similar to that of Little Spider and others, but the unobvious reaction is completely different.

"..."

Looking away from the position where [Mr. Mission Must Reach] disappeared, Tony lowered his head.

[Mr. Mission Must Achieve] The things stuffed into his hands before disappearing were a bottle of medicine jar without any label and a simple LCD screen device.

"...Zi...Zi..."

Under Tony's gaze, the originally pitch-black screen suddenly flickered with patterns like snowflakes,

Immediately afterwards, the stern face of the doctor appeared on the screen.

"Tony Stark."

"PhD!"

Looking at the figure appearing on the screen, even though Tony Center had expected it, the expression under the steel mask still couldn't help but dignified.

Captain Marvel discovered the ability to predict the future from Umbrella. The boy once said that the doctor has seen the future he needs.

However, even when the earth-shattering battle between Jiuyou and Penglai was fought, Tony did not see the figure of the doctor appearing in it again.

It is not that Tony has tried to find the trace of the doctor. However, even with the help of Professor Charles, a member of the Illuminati, he cannot find the location of the doctor. According to Charles, the doctor seems to have a special device that can isolate him. With spiritual power, even he couldn't lock the opponent through the device.

Faced with such a result, although Tony was full of doubts, he still had to accept it.

In the subsequent events, the doctor seems to have completely lost track.

Until now.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Tony restrained his thoughts, and refocused his attention on the screen in his hand.

On the screen, the expression on the doctor's face was calm.

His gaze was deep and mysterious, as if looking at Tony on Titan from a distance through the picture on the screen.

"...When you see this picture, it proves that the future has already happened..."

In the picture, the doctor's voice has no ups and downs.

He raised his hand and stretched slightly to the left, and Jin Bing's huge body appeared on the screen immediately. He took out a bucket of steaming ramen from the mechanical inner compartment on his chest and put it in the doctor's hand. Pass the chopsticks apart.

After receiving the ramen sent by Jin Bing, he took a mouthful of it on his own.

In the video, the doctor ate ramen while continuing to speak in an indistinct voice.

"...And I have probably turned into ashes like most people. To be honest, I don't object to this ending. I have been struggling to complete my own experiments for decades, but it's a pity , the more I know, the more I understand that many things are lost and cannot be retrieved, even if I have already mastered the method of 'regret', unfortunately, it has been too long since I lost it, so at a certain point, I started Ask yourself how unlikely this is the right decision, maybe it's just my self-deception, because I don't want to die alone, but this is exactly the way I want to die—alone."

On the screen, the doctor expounded a thought full of philosophical thinking in a deep tone.

If you ignore the bucket of instant noodles in his hand.

"Huh~huh~"

He swallowed the last mouthful of noodles in the bucket, and drank another mouthful of noodle soup.

Only then did the doctor on the screen take the handkerchief that Jin Bing handed over and wiped his mouth, while continuing to speak with a stern expression on his face.

"Although I can't bring back that 'regret' past, you still have a chance, Tony Stark. The medicine bottle given to you by [Mr. Today’s Regret Medicine] is an abnormal pill, swallowing this pill can allow your consciousness to travel back in time to the day before everything happened.”

"Then, find the sc foundation and tell them all about it, the only opportunity I found through screening."

On the screen, the doctor looked at the camera and spoke his plan calmly.

"..."

But at the end, the doctor's calm face finally showed a slight change, and he was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Also, if possible, I hope you can... wake up... and tell her... I'm sorry, and I love her after everything is over."

"...Zi...Zi..."

After explaining everything, the screen in Tony's hand made a noise of electric current and fell into the darkness.

Looking at the Mark60 reflected in the black screen, Tony set his sights on the medicine bottle.

"If everything the Doctor says is true."

Open the vial and pour out the only pill inside.

Tony looked at the unattractive pill, and the words that the doctor said came to mind.

"【Today's Regret Medicine】."

In my mind, various ideas collided fiercely.

At this moment, Tony's eyes in the Mark60 helmet swept over the spider silk catapult left by the little spider.

"..."

Looking at this dilapidated spider silk catapult, the last trace of hesitation in Tony's heart was suppressed.

The mask on the Mark60 helmet opened, revealing Tony's face covered with scars.

...

Earth, Avengers Tower.

"Jarvis, tell me what time it is today!"

Waking up from the long past, Tony opened his eyes, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar rooms around him, tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted.

"...15:65...Sir, your emotions seem to be agitated, and your heartbeat is a little faster, do you need me to scan you..."

The voice of the artificial intelligence butler Jarvis sounded, and said with concern at the same time.

"unnecessary."

Take a deep breath and control your excitement.

Jarvis's answer has proved that the [Today's Regret Medicine] left by the doctor has really worked, and he has indeed returned to the past with the help of the pill.

"Jarvis, no matter what method you use, I need to contact the SC Foundation immediately."

On Titan, the plan provided by the doctor has been vividly remembered, and Tony knows that there is no time to waste when Thanos comes to Earth.

The Mark60 on his body quickly wrapped him up.

"Yes sir."

Regarding the order issued by Tony, Jarvis did not hesitate or delay.

However, in the end, he had to be reminded.

"Mr. Stark, I need to remind you that Miss Pepper's appointment with you is just two hours away."

"..."

Jarvis' reminder made Tony pause in the Mark 60, but he quickly restrained everything and said in silence.

"Say sorry for me and Pepper, and tell him I'll be back, I promise."

...

"Tony?!"

With the help of Jarvis, through a previous contact record, Tony got in touch with the member of the SC Foundation who has the deepest relationship with the Avengers—[Dragon Uncle].

On the video screen of the mobile phone, the first thing that appeared in front of Tony was the iconic big nose of [Dragon Uncle], as well as some roaring sounds.

"You call me so suddenly..."

In the shaking video screen, [Uncle Long] is talking on the phone, but the scenery behind him keeps changing rapidly, which indicates that the actual situation of the phone call at this moment is not suitable.

If there is time, Tony can wait until [Uncle Long] is in danger and then make a call. Unfortunately, there is not much time left for him, so Tony has to make a call to [Uncle Long] who is moving. explain.

"Dragon, I need your help!"

"Ah... what... help, I may not have time right now... bad luck bad luck..."

During the violently shaking video call, [Uncle Long]'s voice was intermittent and extremely incoherent.

"In twenty-four hours, no, there may only be twenty hours left in the future, the earth will suffer a fatal blow, a guy named Thanos will come to the earth, collect all the infinite gems and end the universe Lots of life."

Without any excuses, Tony told [Uncle Long] word by word what he knew about the future.

"Thanos! Infinity Stones! End the Universe!"

Every message Tony gave was shocking enough.

In the video, [Uncle Long]'s tone is like three high-pitched tones, one after another.

"Wait for me, I will solve the matter here immediately."

The iconic big nose occupies one-third of the screen of the video, [Uncle Long] hurriedly put down his hand, and said something to Tony over here.

"hiss……"

"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky, please be quiet..."

The next moment, in the video, Tony only saw the faint white light flickering and the sharp roaring and roaring.

A few minutes later, [Uncle Long]'s panting face reappeared in the video.

"Are you sure everything you've said is true and you're not fooling me, Tony?"

Said with a bit of doubt in his tone.

"If possible, I hope everything is fake, but unfortunately, it's not."

To this, Tony replied firmly.

"..."

Hearing Tony's answer, [Uncle Long] in the video was silent for more than ten seconds, and then asked with difficulty.

"Since this is a picture of the future, how did you know it so clearly?"

"Have you ever heard of [Today's Regret Medicine], Dragon."

Without the slightest concealment, Tony asked [Uncle Long] in the video.

"【Today's Regret Medicine】!"

Hearing the name that came out of Tony's mouth, [Uncle Long]'s face in the video showed a surprised expression.

However, soon he seemed to realize that all this might really be the future that Tony had seen.

"I see!"

Taking a deep breath, without any further hesitation and hesitation, the expression on [Uncle Long]'s face turned firm.

Said to Tony in the video.

"I'll pass everything on to the sc foundation."
