With the slightly warm TP9 Tactical Pistol gun muzzle pressing against his forehead, and the circle of the gun muzzle pressing against the skin between his eyebrows, Tony·Stark's anger calmed down a little.
But then he thought that he was not going to die soon, and his anger kept rising. He Tony·Stark had never experienced such a aggrieved moment in his life.
"Shoot! Kill me!" Tony·Stark stared at He-El fiercely.
He-El held TP9 Tactical Pistol calmly, and Tony·Stark's eyes clearly saw He-El's finger slowly pulling the trigger, pulling it back little by little.
Tony·Stark's pupils were trembling a little, he stiffened his neck, and felt a mouthful of saliva that he wanted to swallow down his throat, but at this moment, he gritted his teeth and held on, refusing to swallow the saliva.
'Click!'
He-El quickly pulled the trigger, and the sound of emptying sounded in the barrel.
Tony·Stark subconsciously closed his eyes, and his body trembled. He noticed the familiar empty sound, and then he lay down on the bar next to He-El with a sigh of relief. He grabbed a stick of vodka with both hands and poured it directly into his own mouth. It was so hot that he kept coughing and spitting out the drink.
"Sorry... cough cough... cough... cough cough cough..." Tony·Stark was choked and the veins in his neck swelled, tears burst out, and his whole face turned purple and blue. There was no doubt that he would be choked to death in the next moment.
After a long time, Tony·Stark choked until his throat became itchy and hoarse. Then he took a breath and wiped away his choked tears as if he was coming back to life. "I finally understand the beauty of life, especially when I have everything."
Just now he really thought He-El would shoot.
TP9 Tactical Pistol has 15+1 bullets. Tony·Stark was too nervous just now and did not pay attention to how many bullets He-El shot at his feet, but there were still about 12 or 3 bullets. At least there should be at least 2 or 3 bullets left in the TP9 Tactical Pistol gun.
Tony·Stark doesn't think that He-El's hand Shinsō will be missed.
"Go home when you wake up. I don't want to entertain you." He-El threw TP9 Tactical Pistol on the bar, glanced at the environment at the bar, found the microwave, poured a new glass of milk, and put it in the microwave.
Although he doesn't like Tony·Stark's dissolute, pretentious and narcissistic look, he has not yet reached the point where He-El wants to kill him.
"I don't want to go back. In fact, my recent behavior has made everyone uncomfortable. Before I came to you, my home was already a mess."
Tony·Stark tan leaned over the bar, turned on the faucet, took the water with his hand, and rinsed his drunken face hard.
"I don't know where to go. When I see you here, maybe I should say thank you and apologize to you.
You rescued me from a terrorist base and I blamed you, but you were right, it would have been better to just throw me in the desert and let me die like that."
After saying that, Tony·Stark had water droplets on his hair and brows, with a haggard and bitter smile on his face. He opened his arms and spread out his not strong body, allowing He-El to clearly see the black and blue veins spread all over his chest and spread to his collarbone.
A 'ding' sound.
The microwave has stopped.
He-El opened the microwave oven, and a rich milk aroma emanated from the microwave. He took out the porcelain cup filled with milk and pushed it on the bar. The porcelain cup slid towards Tony·Stark. The milk inside rippled with the aroma of milk and spread throughout the bar.
"You can only look like a person who can communicate if you don't look pretentious." He-El said expressionlessly. He took another cup, poured milk into it, put it in the microwave, and said slowly:
"Your Iron Man Armor should be able to store external energy. There is no need to use the reactor on the chest as the energy source to activate the armor. This can delay your palladium poisoning."
He-El glanced at Tony·Stark's chest and made suggestions.
Tony·Stark shook his head silently.
Of course, he can no longer use the reactor on his chest as energy to drive the steel armor. The external energy in the steel armor can also drive the steel armor. Just like War Machine who will appear later and fought with him at the party before, it is external energy.
It's just that he doesn't want to.
Tony·Stark is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-destructive tendencies, and a typical narcissist.
Narcissism is similar to self-confidence in many aspects, such as over-belief in one's own abilities, thinking that one can control life and everything, having a high or even unrealistic evaluation of oneself, having high expectations for the future, believing in oneself, and believing in the future.
However, once a person with excessive narcissism understands that failure is inevitable, he is likely to collapse or even self-destruct.
This is vividly reflected in the palladium poisoning incident.
He was poisoned by palladium due to the use of a reactor he designed. He believed that he could solve the problem perfectly. After trying all the arrangements and methods of today's elements, he realized that his chronic death was unavoidable. So he began to collapse, angered his favorite assistant Pepper·Pozzi, and gave the steel armor to Rhodey. At the same time, his wanton debauchery completely ruined the image of Iron Man.
It can be said that Tony's narcissism made him only have options to create more powerful products to solve the problem of palladium poisoning. There was no option to replace external energy, because palladium poisoning would kill him sooner or later. He knew, he understood, and he tried various methods to find no future, so he simply became decadent and self-destructed.
His character, because of his narcissism, self-confidence, and pretentiousness, determines that he causes things beyond his control to happen to him, which leads to collapse and despair, and he is more decadent and thorough than ordinary people.
Just like in <The Three-Body Problem>, many physicists felt desperate because they saw false physical phenomena, thinking that physics had no future and committed suicide.
He was also so decadent and confused that he had no sense of his future.
Another aspect is Tony's understanding of itself
Because Tony believes that the reactor on his chest is one of the symbols of his becoming Iron Man, and is a part of Iron Man.
He was afraid, afraid of losing the reactor, that he would no longer be Iron Man, no longer a good person, and become the same as before again.
Strictly speaking... he likes to be a superhero and become Iron Man!
It's not that you should give up on being Iron Man just because you want to survive for a while.
He-El obviously saw the character of Tony·Stark. After a 'ding' sound, he took out the hot milk from the microwave oven, took a warm sip of the milk with a strong milky flavor, and said slowly:
"Go back. Nick·Fury will find you soon, and you will be fine soon. If you break the glass in my house next time, I will break your legs."
