Black Book

Chapter 519 Responsibilities
In the messy battlefield, James Roddy swallowed dryly, staring at the terrifying giant snake swaying and wriggling behind the black-clothed boy. He did not dare to look away. He approached his friend stiffly and tremblingly, and asked in fear in a voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"Tony, what is that?"

"I do not know either."

Although this was the second time he had seen this thing, Tony Stark still felt creepy when facing the hideous monster.

What’s even more terrifying is that he can’t understand, nor does he dare to understand what the giant snake represents.

Tony Stark realized that when he studied and understood the essence beneath the evil surface, he would be contaminated and assimilated without realizing it...

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you...

Tony Stark suddenly realized the truth and looked away, no longer looking directly at the terrifying monster.

However, at this moment, his wandering eyes fell on the wreckage of the blown-up mechas, and he found that the reactors on their chests were flashing red light rhythmically.

Drop drop drop...

The slow beeping gradually became rapid and sharp. Tony Stark's pupils slowly contracted, and he felt a chill rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head.

Dead Hand System!

Once the main body signal is lost, it will explode automatically!

He understood something instantly, and the shattered golden and red battle suit spewed out violent flames and shot up into the sky like a rocket.

"These things are going to explode! Run!"

Tony became extremely anxious when he thought of the wreckage of these mechas scattered all over the park. He activated his energy without hesitation, drawing a sharp arc trail in the sky.

"Pepper!"

On the other side, Pepper was helping to evacuate the crowd in an orderly manner, and suddenly noticed that the wreckage of a machine not far away seemed to be flashing red light.

But before she could react, a figure fell from the sky, holding her and flying straight into the sky.

boom!
A huge fireball expanded on the ground. Zhu Haomiao, who was immersed in the delicious aftertaste, was shocked all over. He looked around at the rolling and expanding flames and shock waves, and blinked in confusion.

What happened?
A few centimeters outside the body's surface, a layer of transparent protective qi became visible to the naked eye under the impact, like the surface of a lake ruffled by a breeze, causing tiny ripples.

Bathed in the shock wave and high temperature that was enough to destroy steel, Zhu Haomiao put away his Dharma image, strolled leisurely, and walked out of the explosion range slowly.

[Gluttony] Devour Essence

[All attributes] +60 (30×200%)

The higher the heavenly position, the more abundant the 'food'!
Plus, I am familiar with the plot and can accurately find these villains who are rich in [Destiny]...

Tsk... I can't finish it. I can't finish it at all...

Smacking his lips, savoring the wonderful taste, Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips in satisfaction.

Looking around the devastated park, the young man in black drew a brilliant circle of fire and stepped onto the rooftop a few kilometers away.

As soon as his toes touched the ground, he heard a fierce argument.

"I've had enough, Tony. I'm quitting! I quit!"

"Why?"

"Every time I open my eyes, I worry about you killing yourself and the company. Do you know how much pressure I'm under?"

“But I feel like I did a pretty good job!”

"Look at how many people died in the explosions around you?!"

"........."

…………

Originally he was watching the two people quarreling with relish, but as he saw them getting closer and closer, and finally kissing each other, the smile on Zhu Haomiao's face gradually solidified, and then disappeared bit by bit.

Damn it, when you die, one of you will be buried in the North Pole and the other in the South Pole!

I told you to show your affection! However, the two people who were eating passionately did not notice the black-clothed boy who blended into the dim background. After a long time, they slowly separated.

"Tony, this is so strange..."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few times."

"No, I was thinking of what Mr. Zhu once said!"

Pushing away Tony who came closer again, Pepper blushed and glared at him coquettishly.

"He said you might find a new element, and you did!"

"Looking back now, it seems like he had foreseen today's outcome and was just laughing at us worrying about nothing!"

Hearing this, Tony Stark also pulled himself out of his amusing mood and recalled all the previous signs.

It seems that, just as Pepper said, that person seemed to be overlooking the world from a God's perspective throughout the whole process, observing the long river of time with a detached attitude, and only at the most critical moment would he personally intervene to guide fate in the direction he wanted...

Just like today, he suddenly appeared without any warning!
"So, he is really not an omniscient and omnipotent god?"

Listening to Pepper's dreamy murmurs, Tony Stark was speechless and felt confused.

This existence that is suspected to be able to see through time and fate is, in a sense, beyond the understanding of mortals.

"Not."

But at this moment, a familiar whisper came from the corner, which frightened the two of them.

"I just said it casually, it just happened by accident, please don't over-interpret it."

In the dark corner, a young man who blended into the background slowly walked out and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Zhu."

"Mr. Zhu."

The two of them greeted each other politely and glanced at each other awkwardly.

Luckily I didn't say anything bad about him...

Tony Stark immediately came back to his senses, his expression became serious, and he thanked him solemnly.

"Zhu, thank you for saving my life again."

"Haha, no need to thank me, we just each get what we need."

Afterwards, Zhu Haomiao looked him up and down with a half-smile and changed the subject.

"By the way, how did you suddenly come up with the idea to save a little boy just now?"

He was clearly being chased and running away, but in the midst of a fierce life-and-death battle, he was able to accurately capture the accident that happened in the distance. The unreasonableness of this was too obvious...

You know, there were at least eight hundred innocent people who died in the park today, but Tony ignored his own safety and happened to save the future Spider-Man. This strong sense of fate made Zhu Haomiao want to do some research.

However, Tony Stark looked confused.

"Ah? I just noticed that the kid was in danger and saved him..."

As Tony spoke, his voice became lower and lower. He vaguely noticed the subtle abnormality and his expression gradually became solemn.

"Is there something wrong with that child?"

"Haha, he's just a silly little brat, what's the problem?"

Seeing the young man in black shrugging his shoulders casually, Tony Stark couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That's right, it's just a coincidence...

I just felt compassion when I saw that kid wearing an Iron Man mask and being identified as myself by the enemy AI...

If he died because of his worship of me, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life!

This is my responsibility!
