Nano Tony sat on the ground, also staring at Captain Arica's firm backside and sighing:
"Exactly. Compared to Captain Arica, I've always felt that Steve should be called Captain Arica's Ass; it's much more fitting~"
Hearing this, Peter turned his head to look at Tony, who was tied up by his Silk but hadn't even tried to struggle. He tilted his head:
"Your appearance is disguised quite convincingly, but your personality isn't like Mr. Stark at all. Mr. Stark wouldn't give up so easily. If it were the real Mr. Stark, he would definitely fight to the end..."
Nano Tony was stunned for a mont, then stared fixedly at Peter in his spider suit, his eyes filled with extrely complex emotions:
"You're right. The Tony Stark of the past indeed wouldn't give up easily, but people change. Even Tony Stark can gradually beco unlike himself over ti..."
"But you are very much like the kid in my Universe—just as full of energy and making people feel that the future is full of hope. It was also because of him that I finally chose to take this risk one more ti..."
Hearing these sincere words, Peter felt a strange tug at his heartstrings.
Furthermore, from beginning to end, Peter hadn't felt a single shred of malice from this person who looked like an older version of Mr. Stark. Thus, as if possessed, he sat cross-legged in front of the man and asked curiously:
"So, are you really a future version of Mr. Stark from another Universe? Is that kid you just ntioned your son?"
"Son?" Nano Tony looked at Peter sitting in front of him. In a daze, he seed to see that Little Spider who, before crumbling into dust, was still in his arms saying 'I don't want to go,' and finally disappeared after leaving him with a'sorry'... Tony, who had always considered himself ntally strong, felt his eyes blur uncontrollably upon seeing a Little Spider sitting before him again, even if it was a Little Spider from another Universe. The guilt in his heart grew stronger:
"I'm sorry, kid. I dragged you into this, but in the end, I failed to protect you. I didn't fulfill the responsibility I should have carried. I'm sorry..."
Seeing this other Tony's expression of heartfelt sorrow, Peter's heart trembled. He had that sa familiar yet strange sense of déjà vu he felt when the Frost Giant Clan invaded and he was with Tony at the top of Stark Tower.
Except last ti it was Tony lying in his arms; this ti, it was as if he were the one in Tony's arms.
What is Spider-Man's strongest ability?
Is it the imnse strength second only to the Hulk?
Or the speed and reaction ti far exceeding Superman's?
Or perhaps that cockroach-like constitution that refuses to die?
No, none of those. Spider-Man's true strength is that mysterious Spider-Sense that has saved him countless tis!
Ryan trusted the inexplicable feelings his Spider-Sense occasionally gave him, and Peter was the sa!
Therefore, after a few seconds of silence, Peter resolutely reached out his hand toward the Mr. Stark in front of him.
His hand swept past, not to strike the man, but to slice through the Silk on Nano Tony's body.
"Huh?!"
Feeling the sense of restraint vanish, Nano Tony looked up at Peter in surprise.
He saw that Peter had already stood up. With his back to the sunlight, his whole body seemingly glowing, he extended a hand toward him.
"I believe you, Mr. Stark from another Universe. Let help you."
Looking at Peter's extended hand, Tony—who could never change his habit of resisting contact with strangers—felt no repulsion for the first ti toward soone he had just t. He resolutely reached out and grasped Peter's hand.
After standing up, a smile spread across Nano Tony's face:
"You trust a stranger you've just t like that? Aren't you afraid I'm just acting, that I'm actually an alien in disguise? From what I know, it seems Earth currently has..."
Tony got halfway through before suddenly thinking of sothing and abruptly stopping.
Facing Nano Tony's doubt, Peter acted exceptionally free and easy: "To be honest, I am afraid. But I'm afraid of making another mistake and causing trouble for my Cousin."
"But precisely because my Cousin is here, I have a margin for error. Trust , you definitely want my choice to believe in you to be the right one. Otherwise, what you'll have to face next won't be and my Universe's Mr. Stark, but..."
Halfway through, Peter followed Tony's lead and abruptly stopped the topic. As if sensing sothing, he turned around.
In Nano Tony's eyes, the warm sunlight radiating from Peter vanished at that mont, completely blocked by an even taller figure!
A tall figure, also wearing a spider suit but with a temperant Worlds apart from Peter's, had appeared behind Peter at so unknown point.
It was as if a guardian deity was standing behind Peter, or perhaps the mastermind pulling the strings of the puppet that was Peter!
The newcor just stood there, yet he brought a massive dual pressure—both ntal and physical—to Nano Tony!
The last ti Nano Tony had felt this way was when Thanos smashed an entire asteroid toward him... Ryan reached out and pulled Peter to the side, standing before Nano Tony. He looked down slightly at Nano Tony, who was more than half a head shorter than him, and said calmly:
"So, Tony Stark, tell , which Universe do you co from?"
Nano Tony stared intently at the man before him, whose pressure was even more terrifying than Thanos'. His breathing couldn't help but grow heavy: "You... who are you?"
He had a premonition that the reason this Universe was so different from his own was definitely inseparable from this fellow who didn't exist in his Universe!
Ryan Parker did not refuse to answer the question, stating frankly:
"? I have many identities. I am the leader of the Spider Family, the number one assassin of the underworld, the boss of Parker Industries, the King of the Frost Giant Clan... I am 'Spider Monarch' Ryan Parker!"
"Now, answer my question, Stark of the other World. Which Universe do you co from?"
Hearing this string of titles, Nano Tony was now completely certain: this person was the greatest variable in this Universe!
Thus, Nano Tony's expression beca serious as he gave a formal self-introduction:
"Hello, Mr. Parker. I am Tony Stark from another Universe, eleven years in the future. My Universe lost half its population due to a disaster that affected the entire cosmos. The reason we crossed the Quantum Realm to your Universe is to borrow so key treasures to save the half of our population that was lost..."
"As for what this crisis specifically is, in order not to affect the normal developnt of your Universe—and thus cause the disaster to happen early here or lead to an even greater crisis—I'm sorry, I cannot explain directly..."
