Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Without turning his head, the manager asked, "Is the matter settled?"

"Yes," the man in the black cloak answered crisply.

"Okay." The manager waved his hand, and the man in the black cloak disappeared from the spot.

In the instant before disappearing, the cloak fluttered in the wind, revealing an inconspicuous number one inside.

"Number Two."

After the man in the black cloak left, the administrator called out to the air in front of him.

The next second, a man in a black cloak appeared next to him.

The manager didn't say anything, but simply pointed a finger at him from a distance.

A message naturally appeared in Number Two's mind.

"Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Then let's go."

The second cloaked man disappeared without a sound.

The manager watched the cloaked man disappear and chuckled.

As I said before, whether or not to use dimensional gems is not up to you.

Trying to stall for time? Think you can't see through it?

Then I'll do as you wish, and add a little something extra, otherwise, there won't be enough time left.

The manager was smiling for a while, then suddenly stopped. His gaze, hidden behind the mask, shifted slightly, looking towards a spot about ten meters in front of him.

"Why are you here?"

The air in front of them gradually distorted, and a figure quietly emerged.

It has a distinct Mark suit style, except for the pure black paint job.

Furthermore, the lines are more muscular and technological, and the small energy device on the chest is gone, leaving people wondering what powers this suit.

The mask was removed, revealing a weathered face.

It wasn't the weariness of age, but the weariness of spirit, which was reflected on his face.

That face, which Lin Yi knew so well, was filled with exhaustion and seriousness.

If Lin Yi were here, he would realize that this was actually the Tony Stark he knew.

That's right, it was the first Tony Stark Lin Yi encountered after his transmigration, and the same Tony Stark who was originally supposed to be searching for powerful allies in various universes.

"Is our deal still valid?"

Tony spoke, his voice hoarse and also showing signs of fatigue.

"It's a promise, isn't it? I always keep my word, don't I?"

Tony paused for a moment, then uttered a few words: "I hope so..."

He came here at the request of the manager.

He was asked to stop the time loop.

Therefore, he understood that the manager's goal was about to be achieved, and he was about to lose all his influence.

However, he hadn't achieved his goal yet; he had to come and see for himself what was going on, since it involved that person...

"Don't worry, once it's completely over, you'll get what you want."

Tony didn't respond to him again. His mask closed again, and the Mark suit disappeared once more, vanishing into the void.

He couldn't remember how long he had been in this space; it seemed he had been here ever since Morgan disappeared.

So long that he almost forgot when Morgan disappeared.

In the endless void, Tony opened a communication channel and glanced at it briefly.

After hesitating for a very long time, Tony reached out and typed in the information.

IM: Suspend all plans and remain on standby.

The message received a response within seconds of being sent.

BW: What happened? Why are you standing still?

CA: Are you in trouble? Do you need help?

T: Where are you now?

IM: Don't ask any more questions. Our final plan is about to begin. Stay put and wait for the next instruction.

BW: I understand. I'll find an excuse to leave my current team.

CA: I understand. Be careful.

T: I understand.

H: Okay, Na, do you need me to come with you? It's safer with two people.

BW: No need, mind your own business.

……

Tony turned off the communication channel and remained lost in thought for a long time.

The anxiety in Tony's heart gradually fermented until he was sweating profusely.

Jarvis.

I'm here, sir.

"Is the manager...trustworthy?" Tony asked hesitantly.

This is your 17,728th inquiry. I think you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?

Forgive my bluntness, sir, but you have lost your former boldness. The passage of time may have caused you to lose much more.

Tony was stunned, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Yes, he has lost countless things.

Not only Morgan, but also his courage, his ambition, his adventurous spirit, and his boldness all gradually disappeared under the torment of time.

"Jarvis, what should I do...?"

Tony clutched his head in pain.

Even in the most painful moment, he did not cry.

Crying? That's a luxury for him now.

Sometimes, he even doubted which one was the real him.

Is it the one who is developing the Type III drug? Or is it yourself who has been trapped in the time dimension, experienced countless universes, and gained incredible abilities?

He couldn't tell which one was the real him anymore.

The loss of Morgan and the torment of a long period of time gradually made him lose trust in everything.

Even when Lin Yi's name appeared before him again, he still couldn't regain that trust.

After a few seconds of silence, Jarvis responded to Tony's question.

[Sir, remaining vigilant is a sign of safety, but I still believe Mr. Lin Yi is trustworthy, don't I?]

This wasn't the first time Jarvis had made such a suggestion to Tony.

For Jarvis, the dimension of time made his evolution even more thorough.

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi..."

Tony kept repeating the name.

The long passage of time has also blurred his memory; he can no longer recall the details of many things.

Sir, you need to make a choice.

[Based on current analysis, the probability of the manager fulfilling their promise is less than 10%. However, based on past information about Mr. Lin Yi, the probability that Mr. Lin Yi can help you is at least 90%, and the probability of successfully retrieving Morgan is also over 50%.]

[Sir, perhaps relearning to trust is difficult for you, but sometimes choices don't give you much time, and I think you've already experienced that deeply, haven't you?]

Tony nodded absently.

Indeed, how many wrong choices has he made over the years?

He truly didn't want to recall these painful memories.

Sir, do you remember something you once said to me?

Sometimes, you have to run before you can walk.

Now, I'm returning this message to you: perhaps before you learn to trust again, first learn to trust yourself!

The Jarvis of the past would never have given such clear advice on such important matters.

Tony was stunned again, stunned for a long, long time.

Jarvis remained silent.

Tony's eyes became vacant, filled with struggle, sadness, fear, and anxiety.

Finally, it gradually transformed into the steadfastness he once thought he had lost.

He slowly stood up, his movements so slow, yet so forceful.
