"This framework is not compatible..."

Old castle, inside an empty laboratory.

Tony controlled the nanoparticle-wrapped palm to connect to the space-time belt in front of him for repair.

Countless nanoscale particle robots poured into the damaged part of the belt at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the belt left by Cable before his death did not change because of this, and it still lay there quietly without any reaction.

.

"The level of technology contained inside the belt is one level higher than the nanoparticles you use. No, it is several levels. We cannot use old technology to be compatible with new technology, just like mobile phones cannot be compatible with artificial intelligence."

While connecting the line to the improvised device created by himself and Tony, Banner took off his glasses and looked at the belt that was motionless in front of him and said.

The nanoparticles filled the damaged parts of the belt, but apparently they only made it look better. In fact, the damage inside the device was still not repaired.

Hearing that the nanoparticles he had recently developed were called backward technology, Tony on the side couldn't help but raise some eyebrows.

"I need a specialized scanning device to analyze the internal principles of the belt, especially the part about space-time transmission, which requires a lot of energy. How can it reduce such a huge energy to the size of a belt."

Rubbing his eyes, Banner tiredly retracted his gaze from his belt and turned to Tony and replied: "There are mutants affected by the crazy factor everywhere here, and there are not even a few normal people in the castle.

existence, and we don’t understand this world at all, even though this city is also called New York.”

Seeing this, Colin didn't say much and quickly brought the topic back to Tony's need for his help.

"Colin, it turns out you are here, and I just happened to..."

This was not a difficult thing for Colin, until he turned on the ability of [super vision] and saw another Tony Stark in the laboratory of the castle.

Facing the question from 'Tony Stark', Colin stepped back slightly and gave up his position to Tony on the other side, while replying in a relaxed tone.

"I forgot something in the room. I have to go back and get it."

Stopping and deliberately making an unexpected sound, Colin said with a surprised expression.

Under the guidance of the voice, Dr. Dark Strange subconsciously pronounced Strange, the name that originally belonged to him, and then a magical power emitting a purple enchanting light instantly enveloped his body.

At the same time, countless indescribable knowledge also poured into the entire brain of Dr. Dark Strange with the advent of power.

"I plan to go outside the shelter, and I hope you can accompany me."

There is also a "Tony Stark" in the counter-world, but the "Tony Stark" who suddenly appeared in front of us obviously holds some kind of ulterior secret.

"Strange."

"What's going on, here again?!"

Obviously, the other party has reacted and understood the purpose of Colin's action just now.

"Is it about research equipment?"

"What kind of equipment is needed?"

Although he already had the answer in his mind, Colin did not expose the other party's disguise in person. Instead, he thought of cooperating and pretending to be apologetic.

"...Strange...Strange...Strange..."

In most cases, they will not easily leave the shelter to avoid breaking away from Wade's protection and falling into a deeper level of madness. Only a few determined mutants have taken on the task of going out. After all, except for a few like

Darwin is a mutant who relies on the ability of survival of the fittest to survive without eating.

Of course, if there is just one more "Tony Stark", there is nothing too surprising.

"You know, it's not an easy thing to find a working experimental equipment in this world."

Hearing that Colin had seen through his disguise from the very beginning, 'Tony Stark' seemed even more confused.

The voice seemed to have some kind of special magic power, constantly calling for Dr. Dark Strange to respond.

Tony's answer was smooth and smooth, with no flaws visible. If Colin had not confirmed through [super vision] that there was another Tony who was with Banner in the laboratory, he might have been deceived by the other party. Again.

Or, if it were any other member of the Avengers, they would have been deceived by the situation in front of them and mistakenly thought that what appeared in front of them was the real Tony Stark.

Banner was obviously convinced by Tony's statement. He turned his head and glanced at the belt inside the device.

Withdrawing his gaze from the laboratory, Colin continued to look at the 'Tony Stark' in front of him.

Shaking his head, Tony frowned and replied, obviously the repair of the belt was not going well.

Just as his countdown ended, Tony's somewhat unexpected voice happened to come from the other side.

In the past few days, although Banner, Tony and others devoted most of their energy to studying the belt, they also roughly figured out the situation in the shelter.

…

In the castle, Colin had just returned from the real world to the world of mutants when he saw Tony.

"So, when did you find out?"

"I thought you would have been working on that belt in the lab..."

There is no doubt that in terms of appearance alone, the Tony in front of him is almost the same as the Tony in the laboratory, both in appearance and voice.

"Obviously, the situation is not simple."

"3...2...1..."

As Nightcrawler Wagner revealed, the mutants in this world are eroded by the madness factor, and even the rational ones in the asylum are no exception.

"Even if what you said is correct, if you want to decipher the internal principles of the belt, you need sufficiently sophisticated equipment. This is a device that only professional research institutions have."

"We must understand the level of technology behind the belt. Once this advanced technology is broken through by us, it means that we no longer need to try our luck aimlessly as before."

"Um?!"

"I'll go with you. It's not a long way anyway."

From here, you can see that the 'Tony Stark' in front of you is not the real Tony.

But even so, if things go on like this, Banner is not sure that he can persist for too long.

"I thought of a way."

In response to Tony's question, 'Tony Stark' did not make any response. Instead, he looked at Colin in front of him and asked expressionlessly.

Therefore, compared to other mutants, Nightcrawler is also one of the few mutants among the Avengers who can speak.

The question seemed to have come back to the original place, but at this moment, Tony said as if he had thought of something.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Colin followed the guidance of 'Tony Stark' and began to walk in the direction outside the shelter.

Except for the nagging Wade, most of the mutants in the shelter seemed a bit taciturn. According to Nightcrawler, this was because most of their energy was used to resist the interference of the madness factor.

Tony nodded and replied: "There are not many complete equipments in the shelter. I need more."

So far, everything seemed to be fine. Tony approached Colin and hoped that he could go out with him to find professional equipment for studying belts.

But under the gaze of [Super Vision], I can clearly see that the other party's head is leaning on the White Queen's arms while watching a vulgar DVD movie, without any sense of being behind the scenes.

The intermittent murmurs in his ears sounded again, causing the dark Doctor Strange, who was originally immersed in the magical world, to frown subconsciously.

Tony was obviously used to meeting another 'Tony Stark'. After all, the anti-world incident had only ended not long ago, but Tony still showed enough respect for himself who appeared quietly in the castle.

alert.

"sorry to bother you."

After staying in such a depressing environment for a long time, even the Avengers couldn't help but become a little impatient.

Pressing the nano-storage device on his chest, a battle suit instantly formed to wrap him up. Tony looked at himself in front of him and frowned and asked.

This made it possible to see mutants everywhere in the entire castle, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The vast majority of mutants in the shelter still need to eat, so agile mutants like Nightcrawler have become the first choice for expeditions.

Released his hands on the belt, Tony pressed the memory on his chest to release the nanoparticles to form a helmet on his head, scanned the belt in front of him several times, frowned and said.

For this guy who suddenly appeared, Colin's first thought was Wade or Apocalypse in the shelter.

Thinking silently in his heart, Colin pretended not to know and continued to cooperate with the "Tony Stark" performance in front of him.

Stopping and turning to look at Colin behind him, the look in Tony Stark's eyes changed slightly, and then he took the initiative to ask.

…

Tony: "Don't forget, the belt was activated that time."

"This is……"

In fact, the Hulk in Banner's body has rushed out several times in the past few days. Fortunately, he was aware of it and did not make a big mistake.

"No, your disguise is perfect. It's just a pity that I happen to have limited this ability."

"That's right."

On the other side of the castle, the dark Doctor Strange closed his eyes tightly and meditated.

And there seems to be new movement in the laboratory on the other side that [Super Vision] is paying attention to.

"In the beginning."

"What?"

After all, if he were the real Iron Man, he would have already known after the previous battle with Colin that if he really wanted to go back to something, it would only take a blink of an eye, and going back together would be a waste of time.
To be continued...
