[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Chapter 105

At the moment when the last light of the flame disappeared under the blue sky, a figure fell straight from the eye-catching fireworks.

Tony Stark maintained a stunned and shocked look, like a god whose wings had been broken, falling from the sky toward the world.

Below him, the turbulent sea roared and smashed itself on the hideous rocks of Evil Island.

"No—Ruby!" Jason took a step on the batwing, standing on the edge of the cabin, looking in disbelief at the void burning through the raging fire.

"...No." Bruce looked at everything in front of him through the screen, and he slammed his iron fist on the operation panel, making a muffled sound, "Damn it!"

"Where's little Ruby?" Dick suddenly stood up and shouted, "Bruce, what's going on!?"

—Is this your plan?

They were about to lose everything just now, and they had never panicked, but now they have bottomed out, turned around, and the white pot was successfully shot down by them, but instead they felt a suffocating sense of despair.

They won.

They lost.

Steve watched what was happening outside the window and closed his eyes in pain.

It was the second time he had seen Ruby burned before him.

The second time.

"No, it's impossible." Peter felt his voice trembling, "Impossible!"

It all happened so fast.

The time between Constantine pulling out his metal lighter and the symbiote armor being completely destroyed is but a blink of an eye.

Clark was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously rushed towards the falling white tank, grabbed his collar, and picked him up to prevent his flesh and blood from falling directly to death.

He grabbed Tony Stark and flew back to the top floor of the New Stark Building, and threw the man in a suit and leather shoes with a dead face on the lawn.

At this moment, the weapon system restarted, and the hidden muzzle in the building aimed at Clark.

The light of green kryptonite began to flicker faintly, but it did not launch an attack for a long time.

Clark punched the ground next to Tony's ear as if venting his anger, making a big hole, and gravel flew everywhere.

"Look what you've done!!" he yelled.

Tony Stark raised his empty dark eyes and looked at the Kryptonian in front of him. He knew that the other party could easily kill him, a mortal with flesh and blood, just by moving his hands.

And he can easily turn on the Kryptonite weapon and kill this Kryptonian with a body of steel.

However, all of this is meaningless after Ruby's death.

The tug-of-war between AI Tony's system and his system is still going on. The code of the system has been completely messed up under this level of melee. Unless the two of them reach a settlement, neither of them can use any function in the system. .

Constantine fell from the sky and stood firmly on the top floor of the new Stark Tower, and the batwing also successfully landed on the tarmac.

Jason jumped off the batwing, his eyes were terribly fierce, as if his sanity had been completely stripped from him at this moment, he took out his gun without hesitation, and pointed it at the wounds around his body. Scattered flames in the floating Constantine.

"I killed you, you murderer—!"

"Oh!"

The moment the gun spewed out flames, the batarang hit the gun body precisely, and the direction of the bullet's ejection deviated extremely slightly, rubbing Constantine's arm and hitting the void behind him.

Constantine didn't seem to feel any pain, he didn't move, he didn't even look at Jason, even though the bullet grazed his arm, spattering scarlet blood on the ground.

"He's not the enemy, Jason!" Dick held down Jason who was trying to fire the second shot. His hand holding the gun was bruised, and his hand, which had never trembled in any desperate situation, was trembling at this moment. up.

"Mr. Stark!" Peter ran to Clark at the fastest speed, looked at Tony Stark who was pinned to the ground by him: "Please, get back to normal, let Ruby come back—!"

She can be resurrected, as long as Tony Stark is willing--

"...it can't be done." Tony said, his voice was low and hoarse, "The system has completely collapsed."

Bruce frowned. He tried to connect to the signal of AI Tony, but found that there was only a busy tone from the other side, and he couldn't be connected at all.

"There's no need to connect to him anymore." Tony looked at Bruce blankly, "The data war between us had already made the system's architecture crumbling. Now that the main body of the system is dead, the whole system has collapsed, and his data is estimated to have collapsed." Disordered."

Clark looked at Constantine who was standing aside. He was silent for a while before he said, "Can you reverse him?"

Constantine's eyes, which had been looking at the void, moved slightly.

He seemed to be thinking a bit stagnant, and he said after a long while: "...Yes."

However, it is no longer a question of whether to reverse or not. Even if it is reversed, Ruby may not be able to come back.

"Anyway..." Clark wearily loosened his grip on Tony Stark, "Let's end this."

……

Tony felt like he had been through one long nightmare.

He walked on the edge of the abyss, surrounded by endless, gnawing darkness, and climbed step by step on decaying steps, completely ignoring the piled up bones behind him.

He felt that this road was too dark, so he snatched a luminous pearl, held it in his palm, and asked her to illuminate the upward climbing road.

That luminous pearl was too bright and warm, almost dispelling the squeezed darkness and coldness.

He knows that she doesn't belong here, she shouldn't be here, but he loves beautiful, fragile and warm things so much that he can only hold the night pearl in his hand tightly, like a drowning man grabbing driftwood , refused to let go, and would never allow others to snatch her away.

He clearly knew how fragile and fragile this luminous pearl was, yet he still pinched her so hard.

As a result, she was completely shattered, and countless tiny fragments pierced into his palm, bloody and bloody.

Until this moment, he didn't know why he was so greedy for her temperature.

Because he was missing something.

The warm heart that was beating in his chest.

He longed for her, to be close to her, to have her, to have her to fill the emptiness and coldness in his heart.

But he who lost his warm heart is so arrogant, selfish, indifferent and cruel.

But when he finally found his warm heart, he could only look at the fragments all over the place, and he could no longer put back the beautiful and bright night pearl.

Only the boundless darkness and the bones under his feet were left, like a dark tide, pouring towards him endlessly, until he was completely engulfed in the bone-piercing ice cold.

There is no more peace.

……

"...What the hell did I do?" He looked dazed, his mind buzzing.

Looking at his former companions in front of him, he took a step back, almost unable to stand still.

He just felt numb all over his body, as if he had lost consciousness, and the genius's brain seemed to be rusted, unable to move at all.He seems to be separated from the world by a thick layer of frosted glass. He can't see or hear anything clearly, except for the sound of his heart beating in his chest.

He remembered everything that happened in the past.

In the past few months, he acted like a madman, unscrupulously showing his best side and worst side in front of Ruby, doting on her, controlling her, and treating her as his own private property. Everything she did was almost pushing her to the brink of despair and madness.

How can he do such a thing?He is a monster!

And now, she was dead, burned to ashes right in front of him, and he knew that it had nothing to do with Constantine who set the fire, it was his own responsibility.

He is the murderer, he is the murderer.

——If he had known that he would turn into such a monster, he might as well have installed a self-explosion device on himself eight years ago, so that the AI ​​could directly blow up this monster after he turned bad!

"It's not too late to make up for it, Tony Stark! You can rebuild the system, can't you?" Bruce stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "If you can crack it, you can also program it !"

Tony's mind was buzzing, and God knows how strong his willpower was to pull himself out of the situation and force himself to calm down and think about it.

You must be calm, Tony Stark - he said to himself, you must be calm!

"...This system crosses the field of computers, and intersects with biology, nerves, and energy disciplines." Tony said, "It is much more complicated than Ultron, and..."

He froze suddenly.

Bruce frowned: "And what?"

There was a trance look on Tony Stark's face.

Because at this moment, his own voice appeared in his mind.

"Listen, the white me." AI Tony said to Tony through the system, "As a sequela of our hacking each other, my code has intersected with this symbiote system, and now the only way to save Ruby , is our will to fuse so that our knowledge of the system is integrated—the only way to restore the system."

"Will fusion..." Tony murmured, "We are one person."

The next second, he closed his eyes, and opened them after a while. At that moment, there seemed to be a blue light flashing in his caramel-colored pupils.

"...I know what to do." He said softly.

……

A month later.

……

Ruby opened her eyes.

She yawned, turned lazily, and her jelly-like body trembled slightly.

"Morning, system." She said casually.

"Morning." The system said.

Ruby: "...?"

Her mind went blank for a moment.

She suddenly widened her big ruby-colored eyes, her soft body rolled over, and she was stupefied: "...you, are you alive?"

System: "... When did I die? Why do you speak such unlucky words!"

Ruby couldn't believe it: "But you were not given by the white can... Wait, so it's not you who lived, but I who died?"

That's why she saw the system that had been deleted by that bastard Bai Ke?

System: "...What snake skin are you talking about?"

Ruby was confused.

She looked around and realized that she seemed to be lying on a lawn.

She turned her head to look behind her.

It was a majestic active volcano, thick smoke rising from the hot magma, billowing towards the blue sky.

Ruby was slightly taken aback.

This seems to be where it all started.

She...is she reborn or time-traveled?

She quickly took a look at her energy balance, and was surprised to find that a terrifying astronomical figure was filled in that column:

Energy: 99999

Ruby was dumbfounded.

Ruby: ...it's over, damn it, what the hell is this, am I in heaven now?

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but she accidentally inhaled a large mouthful of volcanic ash, which made tears almost flow down her cheeks. She quickly activated her adaptive skills and moved her short legs to leave this place. volcano.

"I think...ahem..." she said, "I think I need an explanation."

system:"……"

Ruby: "Don't tell me I'm really born again!"

System: "Think beautifully."

Ruby: "...so what's going on!"

The system sighed.

It told Ruby the ins and outs of the matter.

Ruby listened to its explanation quietly, and summed it up with her extremely clever little brain:

First of all, after being critically hit by Constantine's magic, the white pot merged with AI Tony and restored to the former Iron Man Tony Stark.

Then, he spent a month restoring all the data in the system, and stuffed a lot of energy into it by the way.

Finally, he ceded all control of the system and let the system decide where Ruby would go after recovery.

System: "Damn it, I'm out of my mind to let you stay with those dangerous people!"

...in fact, it automatically teleported to the position where the signal officially started on the first connection after the reboot.Initialization, it is necessary to initialize enough "initial".

Ruby: "...have you become more irritable?"

System: "Is there?"

Ruby: "Speaking of which, didn't you have a backup? Why did Tony restore you?"

System: "Because he memorized all my program codes back then, he spent one night writing me down again, and he also copied all the restored system memory programs for me... Tsk, second-hand memory."

Ruby: "......"

Ah... I really don't understand the world of geniuses...

So the system has become grumpy, is it because Tony smuggled private goods into its program...?

"Are they all okay?" Ruby hesitated and asked softly.

"...That's it." The system said indifferently, "They all know that you have come back to life, but they don't know where you are now."

"Then, doesn't Tony know?" Ruby was a little curious.

"I don't know." The system said, "Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't dare to come to see you..."

Ruby: "..."

She laughed helplessly.

Then, she fell into a long silence, as if thinking about something.

The system didn't bother her either. For a moment, the only sound left by their sides was the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind.

"Since they all know that I'm still alive..." After a while, she said, "then I won't rush to find them."

"...I thought you would be eager to find them." The system said.

"Yeah." Ruby was a little melancholy, "but... you know, sometimes people just want to escape for no reason... I just died once, and I still want to relax and adjust my mentality first. Besides, this is For the first time, I was truly free."

She slowly activated the transfiguration skill, and turned back into her original girlish appearance.

"It's still more convenient to move like this." She said, "So... After saving the world, shouldn't I take a long vacation for myself?"

System: "Of course."

Ruby laughed.

It seemed that she hadn't smiled so happily for a long time, and her steps became faster and faster, and finally she ran, like a young deer in the mountains and forests, shuttled briskly.

Her little white leather boots made a crisp sound on the fallen leaves, and the chirping of birds followed her figure. She ran along the direction of the gurgling stream until the stream converged into a river, pouring down from the cliff , turned into a surging waterfall.

She stood on the stone at the end of the river, looked at the rushing waterfall under her feet, and looked up at the blue sky.

A group of snow-white egrets soared into the sky, flapping their wings and flying towards the distance.

"This is the world I saved..." She stood in the mist and opened her hands, "It's so beautiful."

"No one will disturb you to appreciate all this in the future," the system said.

Ruby smiled and said, "Yeah...but it's too boring to appreciate alone."

She leaped and fell from the cliff along with the waterfall, and fell into the clear lake.

"I still have a lot of unfinished business." She said, "Start today and finish one by one."
