Anthony was unprecedentedly nervous, and his hand that was holding the gun was trembling. Even though he had always prided himself on being a courageous person, he had never seen a single person who could so easily deal with a dozen gang members armed with automatic weapons.
Even his old butler, Peter Parker, who he had always thought was the strongest person in the world. Even though he didn't like how Peter was strict with him, Anthony had always thought that Peter was the strongest person in the world.
However, the person in front of him had completely overturned his impression of a person's strength. A dozen experienced Flying Fire Gang members had been completely taken down in a short span of ten seconds. Furthermore, there seemed to be no chance of survival. How could Anthony not be nervous?
Now that Li Jie was walking towards him step by step, it was impossible for Anthony not to be nervous.
His hand that was holding the AK-47 was trembling slightly, because this steel killing machine didn't give him any sense of security at all. He could only hold the gun and threaten Li Jie, "Don't move! Otherwise, I'll shoot! "
Li Jie's expression frowned, as if he had eaten something bad. He pointed at the Flying Fire Gang members on the ground and said to Anthony, "Do you think that thing in your hand is useful?"
"Err …" Anthony couldn't answer this question. Even the Iron Man MK4 robot that he had invented couldn't win against this person in front of him. (Actually, your MK4 can't even beat hooligans!)
Li Jie didn't care about Anthony's constipated expression. He continued to walk towards Anthony, "I just want to ask one question. Did you create that thing that called itself Iron Man?"
Li Jie wanted to confirm if this guy was this world's Iron Man.
"What do you want?" Anthony suddenly became nervous. He fired a shot at Li Jie's feet to intimidate him. He was indeed frightened by Li Jie.
With a bang, a hole appeared on the asphalt roadside, and a few pieces of gravel flew out, almost hitting Li Jie. Anthony, on the other hand, retreated step by step with his gun in hand, trying to keep a safe distance from Li Jie.
Li Jie, on the other hand, wasn't annoyed. He could tell that Anthony originally wanted to help, but Li Jie's performance had exceeded his expectations. Now Anthony looked a little frightened.
Li Jie had no choice but to raise his hand and stop moving forward to show that he had no ill intentions towards Anthony. "Look, I'm not carrying any weapons, and I mean you no harm."
Anthony was still retreating. "No weapons? Your fists are enough. "
Li Jie: "… You do have a point."
Just when the confrontation between the two seemed to be a little stiff, Li Jie suddenly felt a sound of breaking wind behind him, and something flew behind him.
Without any thinking, Li Jie dodged the hidden weapon flying behind him. Of course, it was not accurate to describe it as a hidden weapon. This was because when Li Jie dodged, he could clearly see what was flying at him from behind. It was a white spider silk.
He often saw this thing because there was a guy with a high IQ but low EQ by his side who used spider silk to play swings in New York City every day.
Just as Li Jie dodged the spider silk, a black figure fell from the sky, swinging the spider silk at a very fast speed. The moment Li Jie dodged, he had already swung to Anthony's side, and then directly grabbed his waist, and then relied on inertia and the spider silk to escape in an instant.
Li Jie did not chase after the figure because there was no need. He was now basically sure that this young man was probably this world's Iron Man, and needless to say, the one swinging the spider silk must be the Spider-man.
Although he did not know how these two met, he was sure that there should be superheroes in this world … right?
But Li Jie still had a little doubt. The black figure that flashed by just now, if he was not mistaken, seemed to be the figure of a woman? Could it be that the Spider-man in this world is a woman?
… …
The cold night wind blew on Anthony's face. Anthony, who was still a little frightened before, now calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he did not have to deal with that terrible guy.
But then he felt a sense of anger because he knew who saved him. The two of them had known each other for nearly ten years.
In various ways, Anthony did not want her to see him make a fool of himself, and now it was obvious that his performance just now was very embarrassing. Another Iron Man robot was destroyed, and his performance just now must have been very lame or timid. This was not what he wanted to show.
"Put me down, May!" Anthony patted the Spider-man who was holding his waist and flying him in the air, or more accurately called the Spider-man: May Parker.
This was the child born from the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane, and it inherited its father's spider genes, with the same ability to secrete spider silk, spider senses, and super strength sensitivity and activity.
May Parker's dress was different from the Spider-man of the main world. In the Atrium dimension, the Spider-man Peter Parker wore a bright red and blue uniform. Even in the dark, such a dress was dazzling.
But Mae Parker was dressed in a very, very low-key, brownish-black leather suit, without any Spiderman logo (including spider web decorations and spider marks), and the same tight mask. This kind of dress was the best way to hide herself in the dark.
This world was not so peaceful.
And May followed Anthony to protect his safety in secret was also proposed by her father, Peter Parker. May was very attentive to this little friend who grew up with her.
Although May and her father, Peter, were not optimistic about the Iron Man project, May rarely said anything against or ridiculed it like Peter. Most of the time, she just made sure that the young man who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth would not kill himself during the experiment.
For example, this time, May saw Li Jie's fighting style and was scared into a cold sweat. She could also deal with ordinary gang members, but it would not be so easy and violent.
So this time, she did not listen to Anthony's words and put him down. Instead, she flew all the way to the Stark Industries building and did not put him down until they reached the office on the top floor.
In the office, a middle-aged man about fifty years old was sitting in an office chair, waiting for Anthony's return.
"Failed again, didn't you?" Peter Parker asked Anthony without looking up.
Anthony, who had just recovered from the previous shock, did not look very good. He said stubbornly, "It's just that some places need to be improved …"
"How much money do you need?" Peter Parker interrupted him.
"Really?" Anthony looked at Peter Parker.
Peter said again, "I mean how much money do you need? Your allowance for this month has been exceeded, and you have been paid two months' salary in advance. I've already given you two months' salary in advance. Your current position is only the chief scientist of the Stark Corporation, but that doesn't mean you can spend money endlessly. "
Anthony stiffened his neck and looked at Peter. He wanted to argue. But May Parker, who came back with Anthony, had taken off her hood, and her pretty red hair, and her pretty face, so much like Mary Jane's, could be seen.
She stood between the two people who might argue and changed the topic. "I think if you want to argue, you can wait for a while. An unusual person came to New York City tonight, Father. I don't know if he's dangerous to us or even here to deal with you. There are already many people in the company who are dissatisfied with you. "
At this time, Anthony also remembered the terrible scene he had just seen. Li Jie was too strong. What if he really dealt with Peter? Anthony did not dare to imagine this scene.
Although he often quarreled with Peter Parker, it was more like a rebellious child who did not obey his parents' discipline and thus resisted. But from the bottom of his heart, after ten years, Peter Parker had become his family and elder. Whether it was Peter or May, he would not be at ease if something happened to them.
So Anthony also forgot the unhappiness just now and immediately said, "Yes, a very powerful person. Should we prepare, Uncle Parker?"
The two of them told each other everything they had seen that night. Peter Parker leaned back in his chair in silence.
… …
Li Jie did not care about Anthony and May who had gone far away. Instead, he walked to another quiet street and opened the Guardian's Pendant.
The inside of the pendant was engraved with complicated magic circles, which made people dizzy at a glance. There were also all kinds of small gear parts, which operated precisely like the most sophisticated mechanical watch.
The two most important readings were the dimension of space and the latitude of time.
In a way, space was time, and the larger the space, the longer the time. When space tended to be infinite, so did time. And vice versa.
The main Midgardian dimension was the widest of dimensions. Its space was close to infinity, and so was its time. However, the smaller dimensions that were torn apart when they intersected with the main dimension were different. Some dimensions had very small universes, and the smaller the universe, the less time.
The concept of time itself was invented by humans, and was not an inherent property of the universe.
That was why the concept of time in the main world and the smaller dimensions differed, and the speed at which time flowed was also different. On the other hand, the Guardian's Pendant could separately record the time and space of the main world, as well as the time and space of the three smaller dimensions.
For example, the world that Li Jie had named [Earth No. 1]. Through the swing of atomic frequencies, it could be calculated that there was a time difference of twelve times between this world and Midgardian.
For every twenty-four Earth hours passed in the Midgardian dimension, it would take two hundred and eighty-eight Earth hours on Earth No. 1. Even if Li Jie stayed here for thirty-six days, it would only be three days on Earth.
Li Jie stroked his chin. If that was the case, he could spend some time in this world to farm a wave of reputation. Perhaps this world could help him, and he could help this world in return?
As for the fact that his time passed faster than Earth's and hence accelerated aging, Li Jie did not mind. With the help of the Guardian's Pendant, he only needed to expend a certain amount of energy each day to activate the pendant's spell formation and cover his body, allowing the biological atomic clock in his body to run according to the pace of the main world and not the time of this dimension.
In the end, Li Jie who came from the Midgardian dimension and the humans of Earth No. 1 looked identical in appearance, but they were in fact two different species. At the very least, Li Jie's lifespan here was twelve times longer than the people of this world.
Li Jie smiled after he made his decision.
