Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

After hearing the information brought by Scarface Strange, Tony touched his chin, feeling a little uncomfortable with his smooth chin.

"It's a good story; you and Lin Yi will definitely find it interesting to talk about."

"This isn't a story, Tony, this is reality." Scarface Strange's expression was serious.

"The Grandmaster holds a race survival competition throughout the universe, periodically capturing a few intelligent races and forcing them to use their home planet as a stake to participate."

"Okay, okay, I'm listening. The winner can choose other participating races and planets as prizes, as you already said." Tony rolled his eyes, and the more he listened, the more it sounded like a novel that Lin Yi used to be obsessed with.

Lin Yi spent five years in the forest, and reading novels was one of his few pastimes. Back then, he spent his days reading stories about various cosmic disasters and saving the world. Not content with just reading them himself, he would also drag Morgan into a farcical performance when he got into it.

What Scar Strange is saying now sounds almost identical to what Lin Yi and Morgan played back then.

Oh, I'm not talking about the specific plot, but rather how melodramatic it is!

“That’s true,” Scarface Strange added. “The galaxy wouldn’t have been noticed for at least a century, but our Tony and Hulk accidentally ended up on Sakaar, where the Grandmaster is, after the Ultron incident.”

"That's why Earth was forced to participate in this round of the Cosmic Race Survival Competition."

"Wait a minute," Tony interrupted, raising his hand. "Didn't you say before that the Hulk and I from that universe disappeared after the Ultron incident, but you didn't know where they went?"

"You're not telling the truth."

Scarface showed no embarrassment at being exposed: "It's normal that I didn't reveal this information before because I wasn't sure if I needed your help."

"Besides, I didn't lie; I only told part of the story!" Scarface emphasized this point.

"Therefore, I hope you can help us deal with the Grandmaster. As I just mentioned, the nanoparticle technology in the video is in exchange. Of course, if you need anything else, we can discuss it."

"The kind of nanotechnology that can be transformed into various weapons or even vehicles?" Tony's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was somewhat interested, but he still shook his head: "The research direction is very interesting, but for me, it's only a matter of time before it's realized."

Yes, he is confident, but he doesn't have the energy to research in this area right now, and it's not something he can really apply at this stage; it's more of an added bonus.

"Well, I've heard the story, it was great." Tony clapped. "Finally, I wish you victory."

I originally thought that the help Scar Strange needed wouldn't be a big problem, but it seems I was too naive. The Sorcerer Supreme has to cross the universe to ask for help, so how could the trouble be small?

It seems I'll have time to take a trip to the universe where Morgan used to be.

Thinking this, Tony stood up and walked outside, having no intention of helping Scar Strange at all. His own universe was chaotic enough; he didn't have the time or inclination.

"Tony!" Scarface Strange called out to him.

Tony stopped and turned around: "Is there anything else?"

Scarface's lips twitched. "Shouldn't we help each other?"

Tony understood what he meant. Lin Yi was someone Strange had brought to rescue him; otherwise, he would still be forging iron in Cassandra's lair.

but……

Tony nodded: "You're right. I can provide some technological assistance, and even support you with some automated MK suits, but we won't go to your universe, much less participate in any so-called racial survival competition."

"As you've seen, our universe is also in crisis, and I think you can understand that."

Tony didn't feel any guilt about refusing Scarface Strange. Back at Cassandra's base, it was Wade who agreed to find Lin Yi in exchange for a job, and Scarface Strange undeniably helped a lot. But that wasn't enough to make Tony and his teammates risk their lives to save another universe, especially when their own universe was in chaos.

Scarface Strange fell silent, but Tony didn't think he would give up.

Sure enough, Scarface Strange spoke again: "Excuse me, where is Lin Yi?"

Tony laughed. "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Yi is your real target, isn't he?"

If we're talking about the absolute top fighter on Earth right now, Tony thinks it's only Lin Yi. His unreasonable physique and the mysterious aura that seems to know a little bit about everything make it undeniable that just having him there gives you a strange sense of security.

"I don't think your offer is enough to sway Lin Yi, nor do I think you have anything to offer in exchange, but I can't make the decision for Lin Yi either."

"I can tell you that he's near the sun right now, or rather, on the surface of the sun."

"The sun... its surface?" Scarface thought he'd misheard. Was this the sun he was thinking of? Was that a place where people could live?

"That's right, if you're capable, you can go ask him now. Otherwise, you'll have to wait..." Tony thought for a moment, "...three weeks."

"He'll be back in three weeks, but don't get your hopes up too high, mage."

"By the way, I hope you have a pleasant three weeks here. If you need any technical or weaponry, feel free to ask me for anything I can provide. Of course, this also includes any problems you may have in your daily life."

After Tony finished speaking, he left immediately. He didn't believe Strange had the ability to go up to the sun.

Lin Yi is Lin Yi, there's only one.

After leaving the conference room, Tony went to the communications room first.

Over the course of a week, Earth steadily improved and stabilized. Humans, who had disappeared for five years, gradually returned to society.

In five years, the changes on Earth haven't exceeded our comprehension; electronic products have become more advanced, and prices differ somewhat from what we remember. These differences in lifestyle are not difficult to adapt to.

What's truly distressing is the impact these five years have had on interpersonal relationships.

Her younger siblings are now taller than her. The one she (or he) once vowed to spend her life with has already started a family with someone else.

The child who was just learning to speak when I left now hides behind his adoptive parents, casting unfamiliar glances at me. My son, now in middle school, is the "Brother Yezi" we see on the street again.

Some people wept bitterly, only to discover that their loved ones had already chosen to pass away because of their disappearance.

Some people disappear on their way to visit their parents, and when they return, both parents have passed away, leaving behind an eternal regret.

Five years have passed, and they have disappeared, but the world continues to turn, and life never stops. This is the most unacceptable thing.

But that's life; you can only move forward.

Regardless, the return of these people has injected new vitality into the planet, and it is believed that it will not be long before everything returns to its former prosperity.
