Marvel's Great Old Ones

Stark squatted in front of Ethan's body, raised his head, and the genius inventor spirit that had denounced Fang Qiu in the United States returned to him.

"You said Ethan is not dead, so why do I believe you can save him? Are you threatening me now?" Stark stared into Li Xiu's eyes.

"Uh--that's because I am the only one who can save him now." Li Xiu blinked and complained crazily in his heart.

Why did Woolly Stark ask so many questions? According to the development of the time-travel novel, wouldn't he have asked me about my conditions in a hurry, and then bowed to my domineering spirit?

"What do you want?" Stark asked after a long silence.

Since this yellow man dared to speak, he must have mastered something.

"Uh..." Li Xiu hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

What he wants is the Ark Reactor on Stark and the new element Ark Reactor behind it. But it seems a bit out of character to speak like this.

"I want you to help me make that thing on your chest."

Li Xiu bent down and pointed at the small blue circle of light on Stark's chest.

"This, a palladium metal reactor?" Stark tapped something on his chest.

"Uh-huh, I also need to upgrade it in the future." Li Xiu folded his hands and nodded.

Stark looked at Ethan, hesitant in his heart.

The thing on his chest is not some gadget, it is a nuclear fusion reactor, a technological product that is at least thirty years ahead of this era.

It is no exaggeration to say that throwing this thing out is tantamount to detonating an atomic bomb in the current world situation and bringing about a technological revolution.

However, revolution is always indispensable for various conspiracies and bloody battles. Although Stark is not an absolutely good person, he at least has a bottom line.

How could he possibly want to bring suffering to innocent people because of his own arrogance?

"What, you don't want to save your friend? You know, he saved your life just now." Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that he is not that important in your heart."

"Were you here before, before anything happened to us?" Stark caught another question in Li Xiu's words.

Damn it! Li Xiu murmured in his heart, why did he talk so much?

"The man named Nick Fury called you here just to take advantage of the situation to grab something?"

Stark pinched the corner of Ethan's clothes hard. He had decided to give up. Not to mention the importance of the reactor, he said that he was not sure whether that guy could save Ethan.

Damn it, it’s just an Ark reactor, why is it his turn to have so many things to do? Li Xiu is going crazy!

Forget it, it's not just this nuclear fusion reactor.

Use the Osborne Group's power first, go slow, and then grab those alien power furnaces.

I still don’t believe it, I can’t even find an energy source, so isn’t there still a space gem?

"Let me tell you straight, I arrived a long time ago, so what? I don't have the obligation to ensure your safety. Anyway, you are fine."

"That reactor is for my own use. It is used to absorb energy. There is no such mess as organization, fighting, or research as you think."

"The last sentence, do you want to save the one who screamed? He only has an hour at most. I am the only one who can save him now."

Li Xiu immediately broke the pot and threw it away. His brain was still not suitable for such a thing, and it would suit him more to act roughly.

"You..." Seeing Li Xiu's sudden outburst, Stark began to believe it in his heart. After all, if there was really any conspiracy, he wouldn't send some strange guy. However, what should be guaranteed should still be guaranteed.

"I can agree to your conditions, but I need you to wake him up first and promise to rescue us both."

"You promised!"

"Yeah, but each reactor can only have one at most." Stark added.

"Three." Li Xiu held out three fingers with a serious look.

"Okay, but the total output power must be monitored by me." Stark calculated the effects of the upgraded reactor on his chest and nodded in agreement.

According to his calculations, no matter how the nuclear fusion reactor is upgraded, its power will not be outrageous enough to support a war.

After the negotiation was over, Li Xiu stepped forward and raised his hand to aim at Ethan's body.

Can Li Xiu save the dead now? Of course it's impossible. Turning a dead man into a monster is more or less the same, but it's important to not be able to trick Tony Stark.

Since we can’t save the dead, we can save the living. Ethan is not dead at all!

After Ethan was shot and fell to the ground, Li Xiu's organization invaded his body.

First, it makes it comatose through lack of oxygen, and then restrains the activities of its internal organs to make it appear dead. The Shoggoth is used to transport energy to ensure survival.

The blood vessels on Li Xiu's arms were squirming one after another, and small things were shuttled through them. On the surface of the skin, countless hair-like tentacles pierced directly into Ethan's body.

Ethan's body lying on the ground twitched strangely, and those hair-like tentacles shuttled between blood vessels and wounds.

puff!

Several noises came from Ethan's body, and bullets were squeezed out along the blood.

At the wound, black threads were interwoven and intertwined to sew up the crack. As for the missing tissue, some black material was used to replace it.

In invisible parts of the body, subtle restraints were untied, and Ethan's brain gradually woke up. However, Li Xiu still restricted Ethan's awakening.

"Why hasn't he come alive yet?"

Seeing Ethan's body become complete, Stark still had hope, but Ethan still didn't wake up, and he turned around angrily to question.

Li Xiu's eyes rolled around, and his hand suddenly shook, and a reddish-brown transparent pill suddenly appeared, "He still needs to swallow this pill."

"Then hurry up."

"Uh, well, this," Li Xiu scratched his head and said, "If this stimulates the brain to wake up, otherwise he will still die. But in his condition, if he wants to take the medicine, someone needs to feed him by mouth."

"What!" Stark lost his composure and asked hesitantly in a low voice, "Hello?"

"Then I'd rather not have that thing." Li Xiu pinched his hands tightly behind his back.

Fortunately, the body of the Shoggoth is controlled by the mind and not by nerve signals. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold back his laughter now.

"You don't want me to feed you, do you?" Stark pointed at himself.

"It depends on you whether you still want to save him. Due to the preservation of the materials used in this medicine, the only way is to feed it by mouth." Li Xiu clasped his hands behind his back, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Looking back and forth at Yao and Ethan's body, thinking that Ethan died to save himself, Stark closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and gave up.

"Bring the medicine..."

Seeing Stark leaning over to kiss him, Li Xiu shook his little hand and let go of Ethan's restriction.

"Huh? Where is this? Is this paradise?" Ethan opened his eyes in a daze, and all the wounds on his body had disappeared.

Before he could realize what was going on, Ethan's vision suddenly went dark, and a soft feeling came from his mouth.

Hell, this soft feeling was also accompanied by the feeling of something being pierced in the mouth. There was also a wet, foul-smelling thing that was pried toward the inside of his mouth.

"Well!"

Ethan, who was in a daze, instantly opened his eyes wide and his eyes were about to burst. There are still such gangsters in this fucking paradise!

Before Stark, who had a resigned expression and his eyes closed, could react, there was a violent struggle under his body and he was hit several times.

"What's going on!" Stark quickly turned over and stood up, and saw Ethan lying on the ground with a look of astonishment on his face.

I treat you as a friend, but you actually want to sleep with me, while I'm still hot!

"Ethan, hey, Ethan, listen to me explain..." Stark raised his hand in panic to explain, but he didn't know that his appearance made him look more like a hungry pervert.

"You...don't come over, just stand there!"

Seeing the arrogant Stark and his feeble explanation, Ethan was as frightened as a rabbit and rolled over quickly and got up from the ground.

"Okay, okay, I'll stand here. Calm down first and listen to me tell you slowly." Stark looked like a man explaining to his girlfriend who wanted to break up.

Calm down. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was pressed and kissed by a grown man. You made me so calm!

Ethan quietly moved a few steps back. Although his expression had calmed down, he still looked wary.

He didn't even know whether he was alive or dead now. Based on his injuries, he should have died long ago.

Touching the healed wounds on his body, the pain has long since disappeared. This made Ethan's look at Stark even more subtle.

I'll take my life, there really are gangsters in heaven who don't even let men go!

Stark ignored Li Xiu who was watching the show and stood there with an old face to explain.

Just now, he was completely disgraced. It was really sloppy.

……

"So, you did this to save me?"

Even if Stark explains everything, Ethan, who had always looked at Tony Stark with a look of reverence, is still doubtful in his eyes.

After all, how could there be medicine in this world that was taken in such a ridiculous way? All the injuries on his body had disappeared.

"I -" Stark was so depressed that he wanted to vomit, staring at Li Xiu with a murderous gaze. If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, he would have killed him.

"Okay, okay, now that Ethan has been revived, we are ready to go to the military search line and wait for rescue."

Li Xiu raised his head to Cthulhu, clapped his hands and said nonchalantly, without any consciousness of being the instigator.

In the secret place at the corner of his clothes, a tentacle quietly took back the cell phone that was recording the video.

During this time, the military has been thinking of ways to search for Stark's traces, and has divided patrol helicopter routes around this desert, and there is one not far from here.

Ethan and Tony Stark looked at each other awkwardly and said nothing. They just silently followed the bouncing Li Xiu and walked toward the sand dunes in the distance...
