He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

The talisman in his hand began to wriggle.

Tony didn't give her a chance to build up her power, raising his palm cannon to unleash it.

But then Thorin raised his right hand at the same time.

In the palm of his hand, an eye opened, gleaming with an eerie light.

Tony suddenly felt dazed.

Suddenly, time reversed, and he returned to the past.

At that time, he was just a child.

At that time, his parents were still alive.

Tony's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Is it a hallucination?"

Tony looked at the familiar room and his parents packing their things to leave, and long-buried memories surfaced one by one.

This can't be a hallucination.

If it were a hallucination, it couldn't be this realistic, even recreating details that one had forgotten.

"Tony, we're going out for a bit. Remember to go to bed early!" His mother's words brought Tony back to his senses, and more memories flooded his mind.

He glanced at the calendar on the wall, then turned sharply and shouted, "Don't go! There are assassins lying in ambush on the road!"

After saying that, Tony was stunned.

Why did I just blurt it out?

What should I say if they ask me about it later?

Edward and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment, Edward Stark asked, "Tony, how did you know?"

"I, I... Anyway, I just know!"

Tony, worried that his parents might misunderstand him as a lie to get them to stay with him a little longer because he was lonely, became increasingly anxious and agitated as he spoke, pleading, "Believe me, please, I've experienced the future!"

Edward and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment once again.

They saw hesitation and concern for their son in each other's eyes.

Finally, Edward squatted down, revealing a doting smile, "Okay, we won't go tonight, we'll stay here with you."

Tony could tell from his parents' expressions that they still misunderstood, but he didn't care.

Whether it's a misunderstanding or a belief.

All he needs to do is save his father.

Then, fate took another turn.

His parents are still alive, and life has reached a turning point, which will make things more perfect.

However, reality is far crueler than ideals.

Tony had high hopes, but the reality was quite different from what he imagined.

Edwards loved Tony very much, but they were always busy with work and couldn't find the time to spend with him.

Tony tried several times to use his talents to help his parents, but his intelligence seemed somewhat lacking in front of his father.

Edward already possessed many of his ideas, concepts, and even mature technologies, but was unable to manufacture them due to the limitations of the era.

Even far surpassing Tony.

Edward was also very strict with Tony.

Although Tony consistently delivers results that defy common sense, he never receives praise; instead, he is told that it's "not enough."

At that moment, Tony finally remembered.

They have always loved each other, but the family atmosphere is far from harmonious, even to the point of being at odds.

Tony felt inferior and insignificant because his father was too busy, too strict, and too great.

He had already started to rebel before he lost his parents, and he wished they were both dead.

That way, no one will care about you.

But he only felt grief and regret after his parents actually passed away.

His friend had fantasized more than once that if his parents were still alive, he would have a complete childhood like other children and live a wonderful life loved by his parents.

But that's just wishful thinking.

After experiencing firsthand what it's like to live a full life with both parents alive, Tony finally understood a crucial truth.

Only what is lost is truly precious.

He realized he was simply yearning for something he no longer had; his family could never have a good life... With a father who surpassed him in every aspect of talent and achievement and who couldn't even acknowledge him, Tony gradually lost interest in his research.

Once Tony realized this, he began smoking, drinking, using drugs, gambling, inviting beautiful women to throw outrageous parties, and living a life of debauchery.

Iron Man Tony Stark is dead.

Yes, but it was playboy Tony.

"Tony!"

"Tony!"

"Tony!"

In his drunken stupor, Tony suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out.

who is it?

Who's calling me?

"Don't blame me, Tony!"

What's it to you?

The thought had barely formed in Tony's mind when he felt a sharp pain in his cheek and was sent flying.

The surrounding environment was shattered like glass.

He returned to reality... to fight Accardo on the vast plains of Romania.

In front of him stood Tsunayoshi, who was in a punching stance.

Suddenly, Tony understood everything.

He still fell into the enemy's trap and was under their illusion.

In the illusion, he made up for the regrets in his life, but he had even greater regrets, and even his will began to wane.

He didn't know what would happen to him if Tsuna hadn't woken him up... Perhaps he would never wake up, or perhaps he would fall into the same state of delusion as himself in the illusion.

But thankfully, he woke up.

I was woken up by someone hitting me.

He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Chapter 218 The Vast Sky Cloak That Stains and Devours Everything

Tony gave Tsuna a grateful look and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"It's terrible."

Tsuna looked to one side with a serious expression.

Tony looked over and saw Alucard standing in the distance, now back in human form, accompanied by Walter, Thorin, the Monster Legion Commander, the Dark Knight Legion Commander, and a man in a white suit with long blond hair.

Although I had never met him before, the fact that he was now standing beside Alucard, fawning over a group of experts, suggests that he was no ordinary person.

"That guy is very fast."

Seeing Tony scrutinizing the blond-haired man, Genos said gravely, "His name is Luke Valentine. He seems to have some kind of sudden acceleration ability; he's very fast and agile."

"That's not the point. The gunfire outside has stopped."

Tony raised the crucial question.

Tsuna and Genos fell silent immediately.

On the battlefield, when the sound of gunfire ceases, it signifies the end of the war.

Judging from the scene, the vampires lost.

They were the only ones left in the entire war.

Accardo looked at them calmly and said, "The vampire army in Romania is all dead. My army is spreading throughout Romania to find all the surviving vampires... You have lost."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Their goal is to protect vampires and prevent them from being slaughtered.

But now, the vampires have been slaughtered.

Looking at the endless army of undead surrounding him, a faint sadness welled up in his heart.

He had no connection with vampires, so naturally he wouldn't develop any strange feelings for failing to save them.

However, he failed once again.

He seems to be constantly failing.

Although he has always been a winner in life in the eyes of outsiders, he himself feels that he has always been a failure and has always lived in anxiety and fear of the future.

He built his first Mark armor in the harsh environment of a terrorist stronghold in the Middle East, and eventually escaped.

However, he was unable to save his benefactor and friend.

He returned to Stark Industries, shut down the weapons division, and prepared to suppress nuclear weapons as Iron Man in order to maintain world peace.

However, he was betrayed by the uncle he trusted most.
