Chapter 51 Stark’s Super Powers

"Jarvis, have Miss Pepper come to see me."

Pepper received the news and came to Tony Stark's studio.

"What's wrong? You suddenly asked me to come over."

Tony Stark felt refreshed, but he still looked carefree: "Pepper, you will never guess what I discovered!"

Little Pepper said helplessly: "Why, you finally found out how much Stark Industries' stock price has dropped during this period?"

"Hahaha! What's that!"

Tony was mysterious and placed a mobile phone on the workbench between the two of them.

"Are you ready? What you see next will be something you will never forget!"

As if to show off, Tony's finger glowed slightly and clicked on the phone.

What happened next made Pepper couldn't believe her eyes.

After receiving the energy transmitted by Tony, the phone began to deform as if it had life and turned into a living creature.

Mechanical structure, biological appearance.

Like a mechanical spider.

It moved restlessly on the workbench. When it rushed to Pepper, Little Pepper screamed and backed away unconsciously.

She was filled with fear of something that could not be explained by science.

"Oh! Don't be so scared! Don't you think it's cute?"

Tony looked at the mechanical spider transformed from the mobile phone with a kind of loving eyes that he had never seen before.

"This is a miracle!" Stark said excitedly, "I don't know what happened, but I have such an ability as soon as I wake up!"

Yes, upon waking up.

Tony Stark's memory still lingers on the night before the investiture ceremony, and he has no idea what happened after that.

He only knew that he had just slept. Several days had passed. He tried his best to investigate, but there was no trace of his activities during that time. It was as if he had been sleeping the whole time.

Even the surveillance videos in the studio have been deleted.

But he didn't have time to think about the weirdness in it. A change originating from his body attracted all his attention.

He has superpowers.

"I have done several experiments." Tony said to Pepper, "Mechanical products, as long as they are mechanical products, I can give them life and turn them into a state similar to half machine and half living thing!
"This is amazing, I have to do more research to unravel the secret of this ability!"

Tony was extremely excited. At this time, he seemed to have discovered a brand new toy and was enjoying it to the fullest.

But Pepper didn't look happy.

She just forced a smile and said, "That's great. You can enjoy this ability and make your life better!"

"No, no, no, Pepper, you don't understand!"

Stark was so excited that he was speechless.

"How can I still be an ordinary rich man with such ability now? This ability gives me another chance to realize my dream!"

"Before, I thought that without the steel armor, I could do nothing, but it's different now. I can defend the entire world by myself!"

Tony seemed to be going crazy and kept repeating: "Yes, yes! I can protect the entire world. I will create a group of mechanical armies and let them maintain world peace!"

"Okay, okay!" Pepper tried her best to hide her inner sadness and cooperated with Stark's performance.

"I listen to you, as long as you are happy!"

When Pepper left Stark Manor, a man was leaning against the wall.

It's Lorraine.

"How about it? As I said, even if his memory of this period is not restored, he will still repeat his previous choices and take the same path."

Pepper shook his head and said, "Let's take another look. I really don't want to see Tony lying on the hospital bed again!"

"That's up to you, if you can accept Mr. Stark's anger afterwards."

Lorraine shrugged and said no more.He could understand how Pepper was feeling now.

She had no experience with Tony Stark and couldn't understand why Tony had changed so much.

If Pepper couldn't figure it out, he thought life would be like before.

That will only get further and further away from Stark.

A few days later, Stark called Pepper to his studio again.

This time, he was no longer as excited as before, but was extremely depressed.

"Pepper, I failed."

Pepper took Tony into her arms and said softly: "If you fail, you fail. Isn't this normal? Tony, what problem did you encounter this time?"

Tony remained silent and just opened the warehouse in the studio.

It was full of abandoned machine wreckage, and each one looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

"The robots I converted are extremely aggressive and it is impossible to protect others." Tony said lonely: "I have tried many times to change this situation, but they have failed. I can only Destroy them.”

Pepper whispered: "It's okay Tony, maybe you just haven't fully mastered this power yet."

"No!" Tony looked at Pepper, his eyes full of despair.

"Don't you think this is ridiculous? I created them and then destroyed them. It's like a parent killing his own child!
"This makes me feel extremely uneasy inside. What kind of existence am I now? Should I continue to use this power?"

"Hey! Listen!" Pepper kept comforting, "Tony, you are a genius, you will definitely be able to figure out a way to solve this problem!"

But at this time, Tony Stark couldn't listen to these words at all.

"I can't solve it! I've tried many times, but no matter how hard I try, all I create in the end are monsters!

"Pepper, let me ask you, if all I create are a group of demons, then who am I? The father of demons?"

Little Pepper gently shook his head and said: "How is it possible? You have always had a warm heart. How could you be a monster!"

"A warm heart?"

Stark sneered, took Pepper's hand and put it on his chest.

"Did you feel anything?"

Pepper managed a smile: "I feel your heartbeat."

"You are lying to me!"

Stark was furious, "How can you feel my heartbeat? I have no heartbeat at all now! Not only that, I no longer need the Ark Reactor! This is what sustains my life, but I don't need it anymore!"

"What's going on with my body? Pepper, you must know, right?"

He finally discovered that his body had changed so much that it would be strange not to notice it.

Little Pepper shed tears: "So what? At least you are still alive, so that's good!"

"Strange, why do you keep emphasizing that I am still alive?" Stark suddenly asked, "Is this the price for me to obtain this ability?"

He grabbed Pepper's shoulders and asked hysterically: "Tell me Pepper, what happened to me? What happened in the past few days when I lost my memory!"

Pepper burst into tears: "Stop asking, stop asking!"

Stark tried his best to suppress his loss of control and kept his tone as calm as possible.

"If you don't tell me, I'll never be happy. Is that what you want?"

Pepper was still crying, she was completely confused.

"Tell me, Pepper!"

"Lorraine, it's Lorraine!"

Pepper finally couldn't bear the pressure and told the truth.

"Go to him, he can give you all the answers!"
