Chapter 463 Destiny favors the brave
Stark Industries transformed.
In other words, it was forced to transform.
Because there is no more war in the world.
Stark Industries was engaged in arms production, which became energy and medical.
There are the most advanced medical facilities in the world here, but Pepper Potts, the leader of this company, is not happy.
Roman Day's words echoed in her mind, and she rubbed the ring and murmured to herself, "Is that a dream?"
Looking at his photo, next to him was Tony.
"It's getting harder and harder for me to tell, Tony."
In this eternal sleep world, everyone falls into a sweet dream.
Only Pepper, the world in her memory is not like this.
It's a beautiful place, with everything I've ever dreamed of.
But there is no one, the man who loves and loves herself.
I have tried to come out on my own, but it was a cruel process.
She met Eric, got to know him personally, and was gradually attracted by Eric's humor.
But I can always see the shadow of Tony in Eric.
That's why she acted so strangely when Roman Day asked that question.
She didn't know whether she loved Tony or Eric.
The conflicting feeling brought her to the point of collapse.
The feeling was uncomfortable, and Pepper placed the ring against her forehead.
The cold touch kept her from falling into a dream.
"Tell me what you want from me, Neville."
There were three men in her life.
One is the former Tony Stark.
One is Eric Stevens, whose future is uncertain.
There is another one, and the most special one.
Neville Longbottom.
A wizard.
An existence that is so powerful that it makes people despair.
Pepper Potts replaces Tony as the new Iron Man.
The power technology brought to her made her once feel that she could resist the era of magic laws.
Until that day, I met Longbottom's lion.
Powerful and substantial.
Neville just waved his weapon and it was enough to shatter everything.
Including Pepper's life.
But Neville Longbottom said something to Pepper, who was countless times weaker than her.
"Kill me. Use my life to warn against this era that should not exist. Use my blood to bring clarity to my king."
"With my spirit and hope in the long wait."
"Over to you, Potts."
He looked at Pepper as if looking at another person.
"Only you can."
After saying that, the most powerful star under the Witch King used his own life to light the torch to correct all wrongs.
Until that eternal sleep comes.
When Pepper's thoughts came to this, she looked up again.
"why me?"
The answer is like a feather hiding behind the curtain, but the blurry figure cannot be caught.
"Pepper?"
Eric came here and stood behind the door, talking through it.
"Sorry, I didn't expect this." Eric said softly, "I thought you were prepared."
He didn't actually say it, he already had a ring ready in his pocket.
The exiled man felt the warmth from the stronger woman.
"It's not your fault, Eric, it's me, I just don't understand." Pepper said, "Why am I here?"
Eric chuckled and said, "Maybe you are a brave man looking for new adventures."
"Destiny always favors the brave, Pepper." Eric's tenderness is only shown to those he loves, "No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."
Listening to this speech that would make any woman's heart beat, Pepper was also deeply moved, "Eric..."
Just as she was about to open the door, she saw a figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window out of the corner of her eye.
"what!"
"Pepper!"
Eric heard the scream and he opened the door anxiously and went in.
I saw Little Pepper lying on the ground, staring in one direction.
He looked along the direction, and a man with a young face appeared here.
"Who are you!" Eric stepped forward to protect Pepper and said cautiously, "I will call the police."
John looked at Pepper's unfamiliar eyes and couldn't help but ask: "You don't know me?"
"You are..." Images flashed in Pepper's mind.
Nine Rings, Stars, Age of Magical Law.
The originator of it all, the King of the Stars.
"Witch King."
Pepper stared at John, "It's you!"
She raised her hand, and the scattered steel armor parts flying towards her like decorations on the room table.
Eric was also stunned, and saw the armor parts being combined into a set of blue and silver armor on Pepper.
The visor fell, and Pepper's hateful voice sounded.
"Helena!"
"Miss Pepper."
"Enable kill mode!"
"Kill mode on."
Laser blades pop out from both arms of the armor.
"I still don't know what I did to make you so disgusted." John touched his chin, "Did I kill Tony Stark?"
The laser blade grazed John's hair.
What followed was a violent attack.
John dodged quickly and reached out to touch his cuffs.
Well, he doesn't have a wand.
Hide behind a sofa, which is cut open.
He grabbed the TV and threw it out. It was not his home anyway.
Pepper was carried away by anger and kept attacking John.
She never slowed down.
The luxurious top-floor room soon became a scene that made the demolition team shed tears.
The only good places were those under Eric's feet.
Eric had never seen Pepper act so crazy.
This made him like it...even more!
Pepper's visor popped open, and she roared like a lioness, "Are you kidding me?"
John breathed heavily and almost didn't spit it out.
Weren't you chasing me the whole time?
"Pause."
No magic was used, as John was hiding from his eternal sleeper.
He waved his hand and said, "Tell me first, what exactly did I do?"
"Isn't it enough that you, the Witch King, have dragged the whole world into eternal sleep?"
"Then did I kill Stark?" When John heard this, that's it?
Pepper still doesn't know who Tony's murderer was, so she can't answer.
John exhaled heavily, "Since it's not the case, you don't have to do anything to me."
"Or is there a possibility that the person you are talking about is not me?"
"What are you talking about?" Pepper was confused by John's words.
Even if the Witch King turned into ashes, she would still recognize him.
"Have you ever heard of parallel universes?"
John said something incomprehensible.
After that, it was a two-and-a-half-hour science popularization.
As a strong woman, she later became a female scientist involved in the technology industry.
Little Pepper said, I understand, maybe?
Eric sat on a rickety chair and said, "You mean, you are not the Witch King, you are the Witch King of another parallel universe."
"Right." John thought for a moment and said.
Eric asked: "Who am I in your universe?"
When he asked about this, his expression showed a trace of hesitation.
It seems that he is afraid that Pepper will know about his past.
John replied decisively, "I don't know you."
Eric: "..." Well, I'm just being sentimental.
Pepper crossed her arms and said, "How did you get here?"
"Because eternal sleep also appears in my universe."
John spread his hands and said: "It seems that the reason appeared in me, so I came here through the dream of the eternal sleeper."
"The reason why I'm looking for you is because you are an acquaintance in Eternal Sleep."
"Acquaintance?" Little Pepper looked a little weird, "In your universe, I'm very familiar with you?"
"It doesn't count." John thought for a while and said, "I am your competitive company."
"That……"
"You are the CEO."
John's answer made Pepper's expression darken. Is Tony there not there too?
"Tony Stark became a consultant to the Avengers after he gave the company to you."
Does this mean that Tony is still alive?
Just as Pepper was about to show excitement, she saw Eric next to her.
The fire in my heart suddenly went out.
Even if Tony is alive, how should he face Tony now?
How to face Eric?
The deceased is gone, and he is not the Tony of his own universe.
Pepper looked gloomy.
John was curious about her.
After John's observation, it seems that everyone who enters eternal sleep will blend in here.
Only Pepper is different from the others.
His eyes moved to the ring on Little Pepper's finger, and his expression moved slightly.
"Where did you get the ring?"
Nine Rings?
As its creator, John seemed to understand something.
Pepper said: "This is Longbottom's lion... gave it to me."
"for you?"
John touched his chin, "That doesn't make sense."
The ring he gave to Neville, would he give it to someone else?
After communicating with Pepper, John also understood the origin of eternal sleep.
But he never thought that in a world where he was not around, the stars would fall into civil strife.
John would lose the most important part of his existence.
It seems to be a curse that spreads across every world.
As his parallel universe self, John seemed to know what the Witch King had lost.
friendship.
There is nothing more sinister than letting the Witch-King see the stars shatter.
Cruel as a blooming flower covered with maggots.
When something like this happened, the Witch King lost control.
Choice has dragged the whole world into a dream from which it will never wake up.
