Master of the Marvel Universe

Saiki Kusuo suddenly spoke.

Just as he opened his mouth, Tony pushed the door open and walked in.

"Happy housewarming, He. But to see your 'super-profitable project,' I turned down several contract-signing meetings worth over a hundred million." Tony mimicked Shen He's tone with exaggerated gestures, then noticed the virtual helmet on the carpet. "This ugly thing isn't the project you mentioned, is it? Some kind of sleep aid for old people?"

"Why not try it yourself?" Shen He grinned mischievously.

"Fine... Was this brought over by one of your colleagues too?"

Tony began to sense that something was off. He picked up the helmet and examined it for quite a while, only finding that its interior was covered in metal and seemed to contain quite a few signal sensors.

"It looks like a microwave."

Tony had hit upon the true nature of the helmet in a single sentence. He glanced at Saiki beside him, then cautiously put it on.

With Saiki Kusuo here, nothing dangerous should happen. He also trusted that Shen He would not harm him.

"Connection initiated."

As Shen He switched on the machine, a gentle female voice sounded. Tony felt every other sound instantly cut off, and his vision went completely dark. Then a rainbow halo appeared at the center of his sight, and his entire body seemed to be abruptly sucked into it and hurled forward. Before he could cry out, the rainbow light faded, revealing an entire world before him.

"My God..."

Even Tony could not help murmuring at that moment.

A vast grassland stretched endlessly across the world. Under the gentle breeze, the green grass swayed in rippling waves. The sky was blue, and to the west, huge clouds had been dyed golden. He floated in midair above this world, without a body, yet with the sensation of truly being there.

The virtual window before him precisely told him where he was.

A virtual world made of data.

Shen He watched Tony lying on the sofa with slight nervousness. He suddenly regretted letting Tony try it so casually. What if there was no exit button inside?

Fortunately, Tony exited the virtual world before Saiki Kusuo's Time Reversal ability expired.

"What exactly is the principle behind this? Vision, touch, even the sensation of gravity..."

Tony still wore a stunned expression after exiting. Medicine was not his specialty, but that did not stop him from understanding just how incredible the technology inside such a tiny device was.

"How did it feel?" Shen He shook his shoulders twice.

"He, I only have one thought right now." Tony looked at Shen He with a complicated expression. "You bastard are actually about to become richer than me."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shen He could not help bursting into laughter. Opportunities to see Tony make an expression like that were rare.

Hope for Shiki's Awakening

"What exactly is Chaldea?" Tony stared at the helmet in his hands. "Although its default language settings are Japanese, I can guarantee that absolutely no organization or scientist in Japan could create something like this. It is not even a prototype. It is a finished product ready to be sold."

That included the Mirage mech from last time. Even its energy source looked like it was not a product of this world.

"Didn't I tell you? Most of the time, we only observe—observe more than one world." Shen He paused before continuing. "But occasionally, like now, we intervene directly to prevent an unfavorable future. Look at this thing. Both you and I are certain that it will change your world, and what I need now is change—and to ensure that it moves in a good direction."

"I agree with that." Tony nodded with deep feeling. "People like us, who have the ability to change the world, do have a responsibility to make sure that change makes it better rather than worse."

Although he had always made weapons before, what he had wanted was to use them to protect peace, including his current Iron Man armor.
