I Am the Lord of Hell

Black Widow Natasha wore camouflage, dark sunglasses, and a scarf wrapped tightly around her face and neck.

After all, this place was too hot, and with the sun beating down directly, it was easy to get sunburned.

Of course, she was even more afraid of getting tanned.

She chewed gum as she watched Li Wei with his eyes closed.

They had obviously come out to search for Tony Stark.

Yet as soon as they left the base, Li Wei had gone like this, as if he had fallen asleep.

And she could not even remind him, since Eve and 2B would not allow anyone near him.

Natasha had no choice but to fold her arms and watch Li Wei.

When Li Wei opened his eyes, she could not help complaining, "Were you meditating? I thought you actually had a way to find him."

Li Wei put on his sunglasses and said, "Of course I have a way. Don't you think it's more relaxing here?"

"This is the front line..."

Black Widow Natasha twitched the corner of her mouth.

Still, it really was easier for her.

She did not have to carry out missions. Her only assignment was protecting Li Wei.

The helicopter was so loud that she simply put on earmuffs.

Li Wei rested for a while, then had the helicopter continue deeper in as his telepathy spread outward.

The range of his telepathy could cover an area even larger than New York.

Even so, searching still took time.

But as long as there were people, Li Wei could sense them.

This kind of training also made his mental power grow stronger and stronger.

But he had not come here to wipe out bandits, so he had not brought the American military along.

Li Wei was quite leisurely about it. He would rest at the base for a day, then head out to search for a day.

Now that there was a partnership, the generals could not say much either.

Future Technology Company's products really were useful.

Especially the Griffin Combat Drone. It was absolutely revolutionary.

Previous drones could, at most, be used for reconnaissance.

And they were incredibly loud.

There were not even drones on the market yet. The American military used them exclusively.

But after Future Technology Company burst onto the scene, things became different.

"Huh."

Li Wei did not know how many times he had come out now. He had probably been at the base for over half a month.

This time, he finally found Tony Stark.

After so much time had passed, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been quietly preparing to give up.

They could not keep wasting so much time on Tony Stark.

The fact that they had searched this long had already been more than enough.

After so much time, many people even believed Tony Stark had been killed.

In response to that claim, Li Wei had deliberately put on a tragic performance on social media.

He declared that even if Tony Stark was dead, he would find his body and bring it back to America!

Unfortunately, after so much time, even Tony Stark no longer had much buzz around him.

This world was incredibly realistic. No matter who someone was, they would eventually be forgotten.

Except for Steve Rogers, Captain America, who was considered a symbol of the nation.

But that was because he had been turned into a godlike figure.

America needed a hero like him, so it kept promoting him.

Li Wei's psychic power spread directly over, instantly mapping out the entire base.

Just like in his memories, the base was located deep in the mountains, amid the desert.

The scenery here was almost exactly the same. After staring at it for too long, Li Wei felt like his eyes were going to develop problems.

If they had relied on people to search, it would have been very difficult.

Soon, Li Wei sensed Tony Stark.

At that moment, Tony Stark was hammering away at metal.

He was already building his Mark I according to the blueprints, and a miniature arc reactor had appeared in his chest.

Li Wei took a look with his senses and found that Tony Stark's health had improved too. Labor really did reform people.

"Tsk, tsk."

"Who's there?"

A voice suddenly appeared in Tony Stark's mind, startling him so badly that he nearly smashed his own hand with the hammer.

"Tony Stark, you don't even recognize me anymore?"

Li Wei directly pulled Tony Stark into a mental space.

The surroundings were an endless expanse of white, like heaven itself, as Li Wei's figure slowly appeared before Tony Stark.

"What's going on?"

Tony Stark looked around. The tools in his hands had disappeared.

He had even changed into a suit.

"Could it be..."

Faced with this situation, he could not help making a guess.

Li Wei nodded directly. "That's right. You're dead."

"This isn't heaven. It's hell, and you must repent for your life forever."

Li Wei's expression was utterly solemn.

Tony Stark... believed him.

Everything was too miraculous. The only thing he did not understand was, "Why you?"

"Because I am the Lord of Hell, specially sent to the human world to select sinful souls like yours."

Li Wei said sternly, "You're skilled in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. Who knows how many people have died because of your weapons."

"So that's how it is?"

Tony Stark said in a low voice, but then he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Tony Stark, you are guilty!"

Li Wei boomed.

But before Li Wei could turn into a "devil," Tony Stark lunged at him.

As a smart man, he had figured it out.

"I'm going to see who you really are!"

The moment he pounced, the illusion vanished.

"Tony, Tony!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Doctor Ethan looked at him worriedly.

"Nothing."

Back in reality, Tony Stark looked at the hammer in his hand and his surroundings, sighing inwardly. Just as he had thought.

Hallucinations. They were all hallucinations!

He had been dreaming constantly lately, and in those dreams, he would argue with Li Wei.

Now it was getting worse. He was actually hallucinating in broad daylight.

Still, his Iron Man suit was nearly finished. He needed to get out of here first!

Li Wei opened his eyes in the helicopter.

"That idiot actually didn't believe me?"

I should've said I was Qin Shi Huang.

He had gone by the Western mindset and claimed to be the Lord of Hell, yet Tony Stark had not believed him!

Smart people really were not easy to fool!

"Let's go back."

Li Wei said to the helicopter pilot.

The pilot did not ask questions and immediately turned around.

"What happened?"

Natasha, who had been idling around with nothing to do, immediately asked.

"I found him."

Li Wei said.

"???"

Natasha was instantly stunned. "What did you do to find him?"

"You wouldn't understand. Tony Stark and I have a psychic connection. Once I get close to him, I know."

Li Wei said with a perfectly serious expression.

But no one believed the truth in this world.

Sure enough, Black Widow Natasha merely rolled her eyes, assuming he had some technology he had not taken out.

"Are you sure?"

She confirmed.

"Of course, because... I am Batman!"

Li Wei deliberately said in a deep voice.

Natasha wanted to kick him, but she still believed him.

"You've been reading too many comics, haven't you?"

DC Comics existed in the Marvel Universe, so Natasha understood the reference.

Li Wei shook his head. If he had known, he would have made that Batman Suit and taken out the Superman Glasses too. He would have scared her to death!
