Chapter 282 The Power of My Thoughts by an American Comic Scientist
Mephisto's threat is quite terrifying for ordinary heroes, but for Rune, it's a false alarm, since he won't be living here for long.
Rune then explained the agreement to the heroes. None of the heroes present objected—after all, the purpose of the agreement was simply to protect Earth in a parallel universe, and it had already been drafted by Stark, with all the clauses quite clear.
There were no traps, but even so, Rune always felt that this agreement couldn't have been Stark's own idea.
Stark didn't want to waste his brainpower on this kind of thing.
After the meeting, Stark approached Rune.
"Just wondering, uh—" Tony scratched his head, "I have two friends who want to come along. What kind of payment do they need to make? Vibranium or something else?"
Rune thought about it carefully, and finally said, "How about designing a suit of armor for each of the three of us?"
"Alright, alright, so you only pick the expensive ones, huh?"
In the comics, Iron Man's arm armor alone cost a whopping $180 million, not including various patent fees and Tony's own research and development expenses. But compared to that pile of cosmic energy crystals, money is just a number.
"If you knew what those empires in the universe were willing to give up, you wouldn't say that," Rune replied with a smile.
"Alright, alright, I'll design a suit of armor for each of you, but you have to be involved, understand?" Stark pointed at Rune: "You and Raven obviously know magic, but I'm not the Sorcerer Supreme Stark you mentioned before, so if I want to design a suit of armor for the two of you, you'll need to be involved."
Rune nodded. That made sense.
Stark was relieved to see Rune nod. He had always wanted to build a magical armor set, but the mage he knew best was the Sorcerer Supreme, who was responsible for protecting the entire Earth. Strange had countless things to do every day, and even Tony, as childish as he was, knew not to disturb the mage. So this idea could only remain a dream.
Tony had indeed developed armor with protective runes to deal with magic-based villains before, but that thing was just an added layer of defense, not the real magical armor he envisioned.
Then, Stark fell into a daze. After learning that the world would be destroyed in sixty days, but that he could still be saved, he had some indescribable feelings. This world once supported a hero named Iron Man, but what if this hero wanted to abandon this world? Would he still be considered a hero of this world?
he does not know.
Stark said, "You know what, Rune, last night I suddenly wanted to go to Disneyland with Pepper. I suddenly realized that in all these years, I've never been there with her before."
"Not going to Avengers theme park?" Rune asked rhetorically, a question that made Stark laugh.
"We've been there before," he said. "Do you know how Chili reacted when I said that?"
Before Rune could guess, Stark said, "She said, 'Why not take a round-the-world trip?' I immediately thought of Jules Verne."
That book by Jules Verne.
"A round-the-world trip in eighty days?"
Stark nodded. "Yes, and I promised. I'm going to take pictures of all the famous landmarks and historical sites."
His voice grew softer and softer until it became a murmur to himself. Even before Iron Man lost this world, he had already begun to feel homesick.
When Rune saw Iron Man like this, he couldn't help but think of himself. Did he miss home?
He couldn't answer the question, but he could find something for Iron Man to do.
"Tony, you said you wanted to travel around the world, right?" Rune looked at Tony, who nodded.
"Alright, go and call on heroes from other countries to travel together."
"FXck, Rune, you're giving me quests at a time like this? You're really not human!"
Rune wasn't just going to wreak havoc on Tony; he also wreaked havoc on Beast and Banner, hoping they could find a way to quickly disinfect his planet, which was made up of a quarter of the cancerous Earth in the universe, and cover the entire planet with green plants to provide the other heroes who were about to move in with oxygen, as well as plenty of food and water.
"You really know how to give us a tough time—"
Banner looked at Rune: "But since you helped me appease Hulk and prevented him from causing a major disaster, I'll do my best."
The beast didn't say much, but patted Rune on the shoulder: "Leave it to us, we are one of the smartest people in the world."
Rune trusted them, of course, and even considered assigning the task to Reed, but considering Reed was married, he decided against it. As for whether it was inappropriate to only entrust the task to these two, well, let's just say that the scientists in the Marvel and DC universes can be roughly considered as the Greenskins in the Warhammer universe; their inventions and creations are all up to them. If all else fails, Rune has backup options.
Just then, Wolverine walked over with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Hey kid, Mephisto isn't someone to mess with."
"I know."
Logan looked Rune up and down: "You know that's good. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely control information behind the scenes, they probably can't control this kind of terrible news. I'll ask Professor X for you and see if he can help you erase the memories of those ordinary people."
"No need." Rune smiled at Logan, who also had a good impression of this Logan from another world: "I don't care about these things."
Rune then told Raven and Clark to follow Steve before opening a portal to Asgard.
This time, he remembered checking his own shadow and successfully pulling out the raven that had burrowed inside, trying to repeat its old trick.
"obedient."
Raven nodded sadly, then watched helplessly as Rune disappeared into the portal.
Upon seeing Rune, who had prevented the destruction of the universe, return, Odin laughed and personally descended from his throne to greet Rune, who returned the greeting.
"Well done," Odin said happily, his beard twitching as he looked at it, making Rune want to pluck a single one.
Before Rune could say anything, he took out a familiar little ball and handed it to Rune.
When Rune opened the small ball, there was more stuff inside than before.
"They went even crazier after they saw the other two Earths about to collide," Odin whispered. "Now the universe is in complete chaos, and even the Nova Corps can't stop it."
