SUP Chapter 84: Restarting Marvel, New Creator?
Added 2025-08-12 07:56:30 +0000 UTCDarkness enveloped the entire control room. The flickering of the holographic projection came to an abrupt halt, with the final scene seemingly frozen there. Digital Tony didn't present what happened afterward.
But Ian couldn't care less about Marvel's history at the moment. He was coveting the abilities that the Sentry's blood might bring, and was truly using every trick in the book to pester Tony relentlessly.
"Just let me touch it once... Can you help me break open the Sentry's corpse? If you can't break it open, that's fine too. Let me touch his hemorrhoids, I bet he definitely has more than one hemorrhoid!"
"I can do anything you want afterward!" If Ian hadn't known that Digital Tony had no physical form, shameless as he was, he could even present himself in an octopus posture and hang onto Tony.
No helping it.
Who could refuse the Sentry's temptation?
Even the Omni-Man who had already made him envious wasn't as appealing as the Sentry! Of course, it would be best if he could also touch Omni-Man. Ian firmly believed that Homelander + Omni-Man + Sentry would definitely let him truly integrate into his family.
Perhaps he could even let his old father experience what it felt like to have his son chasing from behind while Superman flew ahead. He believed his old father would definitely be gratified that his child had finally grown up!
The filial son thought this way, his heart growing more eager.
"How about this, I'll have my good buddy, the Abyssal Demon Barrel, kowtow to you twice. If you think that's not enough, I can also ask my two brothers when I go back."
"They love me very much, and I love them too, so when they kowtow, I have to put a soft cushion down for them." He even learned to negotiate and set conditions like others.
"..."
Digital Tony's projection couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth upon seeing this scene. "Some Deadpool, plus some Peter Parker, would probably really like you."
He couldn't help but sigh.
"Deadpool and Peter aren't important to me. I just hope you can like me too... Of course, it can only be that purest kind of affection that adults have for children."
"You can't build some kind of shota island and capture me there." Ian used the tea-speak he'd learned from Madison, though after pausing for a moment, he still added emphasis.
His tone was slightly uneasy.
"?????"
Digital Tony looked at his own clothes. They weren't priest robes either. He couldn't quite understand Ian's thought process, and ultimately just sighed helplessly and spoke softly.
"This will take some time."
Obviously, Digital Tony had agreed to Ian's request.
"Praise the Omni-machine God Tony!"
Ian was overjoyed, sincerely expressing gratitude. Moreover, he had verified something from Tony's answer: it wasn't just the corpses of the Hulk and Homelander that were completely preserved. Perhaps others thought Ian's way of thinking was abnormal, but he had always just been very opinionated.
These opinions most of the time achieved win-win results. Look, Ian had won twice again, and could smoothly follow up with a question: "Where are all these corpses kept?"
Don't misunderstand, this wasn't a mouse wanting to drill into a rice jar, but some treasures really shouldn't be buried.
"That's a dimension beyond reality. Robert helped me complete the final link." Digital Tony looked at Ian warily, not revealing any hints.
Ian even suspected that his so-called "dimension beyond reality" was an attempt to fool him.
"Ah, is this the trust between humans and computers? What a day to truly understand the 'Omnic Crisis.'" Ian's crude provocation method, still in the beginner stage, naturally wouldn't succeed.
"I was once human too."
Digital Tony spoke expressionlessly. "As you saw, I foresaw early on that such things might happen, and when I confirmed it was inevitable..."
He paused slightly here. "I chose to upload my consciousness and abandon my soul. I believed only machines could remain unaffected in this disaster."
How to put it, truly worthy of being the wisdom pillar of the Marvel universe, fitting Ian's stereotypical impression of Iron Man.
"So were you affected in the end?" Ian was very curious about what happened after the scenes just presented. He looked at Digital Tony's complex expression and asked in a low voice.
"Just secretly tell me alone, I promise not to tell anyone outside." Ian's sneaky expression made Digital Tony fall silent for a long time.
After a moment, "You'll see Robert's corpse in two days. I'll allocate some computing power to get his body out." Digital Tony shook his head somewhat wearily.
A non-answer.
Ian nodded thoughtfully.
"Allocate computing power? So you also have limits, with most of your computing power guiding the Infinity Stones back to Earth?" He timely changed the topic and became confused.
Ian wasn't yet clear about AI Tony's capabilities.
"Guiding the Infinity Stones back to Earth is just a small matter." Digital Tony was also an honest person, still patiently answering the youth who was already tagged as [Annoying Pest] in his database.
"What my main computing power is doing, just like everyone you can see in this base, is stripping away each affected soul back to their original form."
"Gwen, Betty, and others can all be considered experimental tests I'm conducting."
"This is a massive project. Each merged soul needs the most precise calculations to correctly separate it into thousands and thousands of different individuals."
"Ultimately, these soul individuals will return to their original lives under my guidance." Tony succinctly summarized what he was doing.
Upon hearing this, Ian was somewhat astonished and drew a sharp breath. Even his imagination as a future well-known author hadn't dared to make associations in this direction.
"I thought Gwen and the others were rather special souls..." Ian secretly marveled. Perhaps Marvel's main theme was that Iron Man would ultimately become its savior?
No.
He was already more than just a savior.
This time Tony was even directly guest-starring as the Creator!
"You plan to restart the multiverse with the Infinity Stones. Can the Infinity Stones do such things?" Ian could naturally connect the information he'd obtained before with the current information.
If the other party wasn't lying, he might have completely understood the meaning of Digital Tony's existence.
"There's no need to achieve the goal all at once. We have infinite time, enough for us to restart infinite universes." Tony raised his hand in the dark holographic background.
"Regardless of whether we succeed, my existence is to make this attempt."
As his words fell, four brilliant stones appeared in his palm: the purple Power Stone, the blue Space Stone, the red Reality Stone, and the green Time Stone.
Only the Soul Stone and Mind Stone were missing.
