"If you can't think of a good reason, then you're screwed, you know? Nick Fury. "
The capable golden-red armor broke the window and descended from the skylight. Tonny Stark, wrapped in this armor, told Nick bluntly that the security system here was actually designed by him, and only he could break in with weapons. Nick secretly remembered this in his heart and made up his mind to find someone to modify it next time before installing the system.
Tonny glanced around the room, his gaze lingering on the familiar faces for a moment before he moved his eyes away. His helmet popped open, revealing Tonny's face full of displeasure. "There are so many people here, why must it be me? I don't think there's anything more important than saving those who were injured in the attack. "
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has sent people to rescue the injured, and where are the rescue robots from Skynet! The crisis here is no less than there, we are fighting for the survival of humanity. Time is very important to us now, Tonny! We need you. "
Nick's words were very sincere. Now every minute and every second was urgent. More than half of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scientific research power was concentrated, but the progress was still slow. Now they could only count on Tonny's talent.
"Of course you need me. When everyone is powerless, who else can you count on but me?" Tonny smiled proudly. "Now can you tell me, what made S.H.I.E.L.D. so helpless?"
"Let me see, what is this?" Tonny pushed away Nick who was blocking him and looked in surprise at the simple stone tablet placed in the center of the laboratory. The irregular tablet was inscribed with obscure words in ancient characters, which seemed mysterious and strange to Tonny. "Lemurian words! This thing actually exists, you should find an archaeologist, not me. "
If he hadn't seen something similar in Howard Stark's relics, Tonny would have had a hard time recognizing this ancient relic from the lost ancient civilization of Lemuria. This sunken continent was once located in the South Pacific Ocean, between North America and Australia. Its history and existence were a mystery. Other than knowing that it was a civilization that existed at the same time as Atlantis, humans knew almost nothing about it.
A relic suspected to be in the Lemurian language was found here. This was an important discovery for the civilization of the world.
"This is the Monument of Death!"
Pimm stood in front of the stone tablet and explained to Stark: "A divine artifact from the ancient civilization of Lemuria. We believe that the Lemurians were a technologically advanced and powerful civilization that fought many wars with the Atlantean civilization. However, both civilizations have a common enemy, the Apocalypse. "
"The Apocalypse was very powerful. After putting up a strong resistance, the two hostile civilizations were destroyed together. Most of the traces they left in this world had been erased from the earth by the disaster of the Apocalypse. There are only a few things left that cannot be destroyed, and this stone tablet is one of the most important pieces. "
In the last century, the stone tablet was moved away from the palace of the Emperor of China by the European army. After nearly thirty years of wandering, it finally fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. It had been stored in the research facility of the prehistoric civilization. From there, researchers discovered a large amount of super-technology that current science could not understand, and finally became the evidence that confirmed the existence of the Lemurian civilization.
However, because the technology was too advanced, it could not be used, so it had been sealed in the warehouse of the research facility. Until the Inhumans' translation of the obelisk mentioned this mysterious stone tablet and called it the 'Monument of Death'.
"It is indeed very mysterious. The technology contained in it should not be accessible to humans now … For things that you do not understand, you should be cautious when approaching it, or it will bring disaster. Of course. I'm excluded. "Tonny focused on studying the stone tablet and nodded.
"But why is it related to the survival of humanity?"
Nick looked at Tonny with his single eye for a while, and said cautiously: "Because the culprit that caused the destruction of the Lemurian civilization. It has reappeared! "
Tonny turned to look at him, and said with certainty: "Skynet!"
"In the records of another prehistoric obelisk, Skynet was indeed one of them, but the 'Apocalypse' was far more terrifying than we imagined. Lemuria, Atlantis, and even the ancient civilizations that disappeared in the river of time were all destroyed because of it. Earth is very fragile, and human civilization is in danger … "
"You hope to find the power of the Lemurian civilization to fight against the 'Apocalypse'?" Tonny asked doubtfully.
"Yes, according to the obelisk. Atlantis and Lemuria joined forces at the final moment of destruction. Together, they searched for the power to fight against the 'Apocalypse', and successfully sealed 'Death'. They recorded the key information of 'Death' on the 'Monument of Death'. They recorded the power to fight against the 'Apocalypse' on the 'Monument of Life and Time', and then went to meet destruction! "
"Compared to the powerful ancient civilizations, humans had nothing. But now, the prophesied time of the 'Apocalypse' is approaching, and 'Skynet' first came to this world, and chose Doom as the human form. The nonhumans warned us that we would be like the countless civilizations destroyed by the 'Apocalypse', ushering in the end. "
Apart from survival, we have nothing else!
That was the belief of the nonhumans in despair. They had experienced too many disasters that destroyed civilizations, and at first, they could still persevere and start anew, creating a new civilization. But after time and time of despair, the nonhumans chose to go into exile. Abandoning civilization, abandoning legacies, and surviving as a race, preserving the spark after the 'Apocalypse'.
"I'll give it a try!" Tonny was shocked by the news he heard, and he showed a rare hesitation: "This obelisk's technology is completely different from ours, I'm not completely confident, but I can only try. Nick, help me find Lil 'Pepper! "
Nick nodded silently, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Bruce and the rest are deciphering the obelisk, there is a lot of important information there. Tonny, let me tell you some of the deciphered information first. "Pim brought Tonny to the center of the obelisk.
"The ancient civilization and the Apocalypse came from the same universe as us. Tens of billions of years ago, the 'Apocalypse' and the first ancient civilization came to this world, and then there was a war that lasted for billions of years. In the end, the first ancient civilization and the indigenous civilizations of the Milky Way perished together, and the Apocalypse waited for the second ancient civilization to come. "
"Second, in order to escape the 'Apocalypse', the ancient civilization followed the footsteps of the first ancient civilization and came to this universe, but due to the subtle difference between the two universes, there was a gap of tens of billions of years. When they arrived on Earth a hundred million years ago, they only came into contact with the ruins of the first ancient civilization. "
"On top of the ruins, they worked with the remnants of the first ancient civilization to create an even more glorious civilization, and the brilliant light of civilization illuminated the entire Milky Way, until the 'Apocalypse' came again. The Age of Destruction came! In the end, our ancestors were separated into the Nine Worlds by the 'Apocalypse', and the ancient civilization only left behind Atlantis, Lemuria, Gendaya, and the Mu Continent. "
"The obelisk is very important to us. The Obelisk of Death and the Obelisk of Time and Life record the power of Atlantis and Lemuria to fight against the Apocalypse, passed down from the first ancient civilization, and developed to the extreme."
"The energy and life from the universe that was born in the Apocalypse!"
"Is there any clearer information?" Tonny spread his hands. "This is all vague history!"
"Our deciphering of the obelisk is still in the vague stage," Pim said helplessly. "According to some more vague information, the power we are looking for is a combination of energy and life. It has about the positive and negative energy of a million stars, and the ultimate life form. It comes from a project of the ancient civilization called 'Sentinel'."
Looking at the obscure words on the obelisk, Tonny said with emotion, "What we are looking for, is the Sentinel?"
"The Sentinel is very dangerous now. According to speculation, its complete information is divided into two parts. One part records its energy and soul, and the great miracle of sealing 'death', which is recorded on the Obelisk of Death. The other part represents the Sentinel's life equation, which is recorded on the 'Obelisk of Time and Life', and its whereabouts are unknown."
