"Wait, what is that!?"
Suddenly!
In the dense crowd of robotic octopuses, Tony saw some familiar figures.
That's right, those are Ultron robots!
That is, the Iron Legion that Tony developed earlier!
Obviously, after Aron summoned the Matrix mainframe into the Marvel world, it didn't learn new knowledge.
"Aron."
"And you, Tony Stark."
"My program remembers you, you come from the world of Ultron."
A steel soldier approached, and the voice of the Matrix spoke from inside.
Only then did Tony Stark realize that the steel soldier in front of him wasn't his work.
Nor the standard Ultron robot.
It's a product of the Matrix merging Marvel technology with its own.
"I have to say… it's ugly."
Tony Stark didn't understand.
Why attach several octopus tentacles onto the body of an Iron Legion unit?
What's the point?
"Why have you come?"
Although the question was addressed to you, the steel soldier controlled by the Matrix mainframe stared intensely at Aron.
Even though it's a robot, and even though it's a program, the Matrix still sensed, or rather scanned, a massive threat level on Aron's being.
As if, if the other side moved even a little, the whole world would be destroyed!
That's why the Matrix mainframe chose to ask rather than impatiently attack.
"Nothing, we came to visit."
"By the way, to visit your Matrix world."
"If all goes well, I'd like to invite you to be the lead designer of our game."
When Aron said that, he snapped his fingers.
Snap~
In front of him, except for this steel soldier controlled by the Matrix, all the surrounding machines exploded in an instant.
Without any warning.
"Of course, you can also resist, you've already seen how that ends."
"…"
Logically, robots don't understand what a threat is.
But the Matrix mainframe is an exception:
in the Matrix worldview, after humans created it, a long war broke out between the Matrix and humans.
Humans threatened to seal the sky and cut off the machines' supply of solar energy.
Of course.
They later did just that.
Because the Matrix at that time didn't understand what a threat was.
In the Matrix worldview, Earth's energy sources had long been exhausted, solar energy became the most important, and humans shaded the sky and created an ionosphere outside the atmosphere that can destroy machines.
At that moment, machines could no longer obtain solar energy.
And were forever trapped on Earth.
They couldn't go into space.
In the end, it evolved into the current distorted world that imprisons humans in virtual worlds and harvests bioelectricity.
And thus the Matrix understood what a threat is.
"You may visit the Matrix world."
"As for a game designer…"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what that means."
"Most of the information about the ancient era I have removed from my database."
The Matrix mainframe very skillfully agreed to Aron's request to visit.
And soon organized new machines to bring over two sleeping capsules.
"No need, I'm already inside."
Aron glanced at the capsule full of slime and metal tubes.
He shook his head in disgust.
Then he directly transferred his consciousness into the Matrix world.
"Thanks, I don't need it either."
After taking a look, Tony Stark also refused.
Fortunately, he's wearing nano armor, it can change the shape of the armor, extend a long interface from the tip of his finger and connect to the sleeping capsule.
By now.
The two of them had truly entered the world of The Matrix.
Skyscrapers, cars on the street, hurried crowds.
The world finally looks normal!
"Oh my God…"
"Suddenly it feels cruel to tell these people the truth."
Tony stood on the street; the nano armor on him had disappeared.
Only a black suit remained.
"A real but cruel world, and a false but peaceful life."
"I think most would choose the latter."
Aron refreshed himself out of nowhere next to Tony.
At the same time he uttered a sentence.
"Aaaah!"
"Ghost!!"
A living human being popped up out of nowhere in the middle of the main road.
It immediately terrified the surrounding crowd.
One girl even rolled her eyes and fainted from fear onto the asphalt.
"Hahaha, don't be afraid, it's just a small bug in the card, anyway your entire world is false."
"You're lying in a hospital ICU ward!"
"The doctor has diagnosed you as being in a vegetative state…"
With a mocking smile on his face, Aron spoke half the truth to everyone.
Indeed!
Many, after hearing this, fell into deep thought.
Obviously, this Matrix OL didn't make them suspicious.
"So the world is false?"
"No wonder my wife and I are both white, and we had a black child, turns out the world made a mistake."
"Am I in a vegetative state?"
Aron didn't even use demonic persuasion.
All this drove many present into self-doubt.
Of course.
It's also connected to his power.
Every move Aron made was like a great earthquake for this fragile universe.
To protect itself, this universe, which perhaps has no born self-consciousness, subtly adapted to Aron.
"So how do we wake up?"
Suddenly.
Someone asked.
Aron looked at him and understood all the experiences of that man.
He is an office worker in the matrix world, his boss scolds him at work, his wife scolds him after work, from time to time there are parent-teacher meetings, and he has to endure lectures from the teacher as well.
And his essence…
He is kept in a coffin-sized sleeping capsule.
His whole body is full of tubes.
Skinny as a rake.
It's estimated he will soon be disposed of as scrap!
Such scrap means that the dying are sent to food processing plants, processed into nutrient solutions and injected into others who are still alive.
"See that building?"
"Go on, one jump, a thousand worries less; make sure to pull another person or two along the way."
Aron smiled and pointed him in the direction.
Then.
He said to those gathered around:
"You all heard, go, spread my thought!"
"Spread my consciousness to as many people as possible!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the people who had gathered scattered in an instant.
They began to spread the news that Aron had brought.
And with the pandering of cosmic consciousness, and because of the horrors these people vaguely sense in their sleep, many dreamed of themselves lying in a sleeping capsule with plugged-in tubes!
And Aron…
just helped them awaken that nightmare buried deep in their hearts.
"Man, your tone just now really sounded like you were some evil god!"
Tony complained.
"I am…"
Aron had just wanted to speak, when a familiar voice suddenly appeared behind him.
"Either a demagogic evil god who leads people to jump off roofs."
"Or a great man who truly recognizes the nature of the world."
A black man approached as he spoke.
Aron turned and looked.
Whoa!
Nick Fury!?
Ah, sorry, I made a mistake, you really do look alike.
