It had to be said.
This was the first time he had observed his dead body from a bystander's point of view. His bloody appearance was completely unlike his usual demeanor, and there was even a trace of nausea.
It felt very strange...
Tony felt that there was always a strange feeling that he could not say. He opened his mouth, "The soul of a human, is it actually real"
As a super genius who graduated from MIT and had a doctorate, Tony always thought that the world was made of matter and scoffed at the so-called soul theory.
But...
Everything that happened today completely broke his view.
The soul really existed!
This meant that most of the current theories would be completely overturned!
Wait a minute...
Tony's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Since the soul is confirmed to be a substance that exists in reality, does that mean... the hell and heaven that the myths speak of also exists in reality?
Step step step..
A series of footsteps that were neither light nor heavy slowly came from the distance.
Tony turned around stiffly, his slightly trembling eyes looking towards the source of the voice.
It was... a person.
He wore a loose black robe and a white belt. He had short silver hair and deep blue eyes. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He exuded a refreshing aura.
"Tony Stark?"
Lod's deep eyes were extremely calm. It was as if they contained a gentle ocean as he spoke slowly.
"Yes... I am." Tony Stark took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, and asked a little nervously, "Who... who are you?"
"In the words of you humans..." Lod paused for a moment, then smiled. "death god, this word might make it easier for you to understand."
... death god?
Tony had some guesses in his heart.
However, after receiving Lod's reply, his heart was still in turmoil. He widened his eyes and said in shock, "You... you said you were death god?"
"Yes."
Lod nodded slightly and said, "I will guide your soul to Soul Society."
"Soul Society?" Hearing this unfamiliar word, Tony's face changed slightly. "Is this place you are talking about hell?"
"Of course not."
Lod shook his head and said, "Unlike the modern world, Soul Society is a leisure place, a place where all souls will go after they die."
Tony hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the crying Potts. He asked, "Can... can I not go?"
"No."
Lod shook his head again and said, "All souls after death can not stay in the Modern Realm without permission."
"This death god, can't you make an exception?" A hint of bitterness appeared on Tony's face. He clenched his fists and said, "I can't leave yet, at least not now."
Lod raised his eyebrows and looked past Tony to look at Potts. "It seems that you love this woman very much, but unfortunately, Soul Society's law does not allow the souls of mortals to stay in the modern world after death."
Unexpectedly, Tony shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "No, not only because of Potts, I have one more thing to do!"
Lod narrowed his eyes. "Are you referring to... the human in green armor?"
"That's right, it's him!"
Tony's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and said, "That madman is not dead yet. The people here will be in danger at any time, so I can't go with you!"
"Ha... Does it really matter?"
Lod chuckled and said lightly, "Don't forget that you are already dead. A newly born soul like you is not enough to affect the physical body of the real world, so it is better to give up."
"Impossible... I clearly..." Tony's face changed dramatically. He reached out to touch Potts, but the result was that he directly passed through her body.
"Look ---"
Lod crossed his arms in front of his chest and shook his head. "The soul that just died, Spiritual Power, is too weak. It can't affect the world at all. So even if you stay, you can't help the people here."
Tony slowly retracted his hand. After a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "death god, you just said that 'the person who just died can't affect the present world'. Does that mean that you can affect the present world?"
He was very smart, and he was a super genius. Just from a few words, he caught the key point that Lod revealed.
Lod smiled in his heart and pretended to be slightly surprised. He said, "Not bad, it seems that you are very smart. death god can indeed influence the modern world."
"death god, please... can you help them?" Tony's eyes revealed a trace of hope as he spoke with difficulty.
This was the first time he opened his mouth to ask for help, just for death god to help save these unarmed people.
Lod's eyes flashed as he met Tony's hopeful gaze. He shook his head mercilessly and said, "No, death god will not interfere in the disputes between humans."
Tony's eyes darkened and his lips opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back down in the end. There was only bitterness left on his lips.
Yeah...
The other party was death god. He had no obligation or position to save the lives of humans. It was death god's job to harvest souls!
"Mr. death god..."
Tony took a deep breath and said, "Please forgive me for refusing to go to Soul Society. I want to stay here. Even if I can't do anything, I will not leave here!"
"Is it meaningful?" Lod asked.
Tony frowned and did not quite understand what he meant. "What do you mean?"
Lod looked deeply at Tony and slowly said, "I'm asking you... you would rather sacrifice yourself than leave even after death. With such a strong obsession, is there any meaning to you?"
Tony opened his mouth, and his eyes alternated between bright and dark. Thousands of words eventually turned into a sigh. "I don't know if it is meaningful, but I... I just want to save these people. Even if I can't do anything, I don't want to leave like this."
"Interesting human..."
Lod smiled from the bottom of his heart. His eyes lit up, as if he had made up his mind. "If... I give you a chance, a chance to save them, but the price is that you will be bound for the rest of your life, and you may even die. Are you willing to do this?"
Hearing this, Tony's breathing suddenly became rapid, and without any hesitation, he said firmly, "I am willing!"
"Even if he is bound for the rest of his life? Even if he might die?"
"Yes!"
As he asked and answered, Lod and Tony looked at each other.
From this man's eyes, he saw an unwavering determination, as well as a determination that he would never give up no matter what!
"Since that's the case..."
Lod smiled calmly like a spring breeze and said, "Then become death god, Tony Stark!"
The next moment.
A long sword, whose entire body was suffused with a light blue brilliance, was caught off guard and pierced into Tony's chest!
"Survive."
"Then... turn into death god, Tony Stark!"
This was the last sound that entered Tony's ears, and then he felt like he was drowned by a storm!
