It had been a full month since the Annihilation Zerg invaded New York. Many major events had happened during this period, but they all returned to peace in the end.
The busiest person in this period of time must be Fever. Just cleaning up the mess for the president made him exhausted.
In view of the various magical operations that President Beyer had done during the war, he was sent to the Federation Supreme Court without any accident and was permanently deprived of his political identity as a criminal. Only then did the angry people subside.
The anger of the people subsided with the trial. The large-scale demonstration ended, and all the countries in the US returned to normal. New York was also rebuilt bit by bit under the funding of the government.
Everything seemed to have returned to the past, but the people who were familiar with the inside story knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. Bayer was just a prop that was pushed out to calm the anger of the people.
According to the report that S. H. I. E. L. D. submitted afterward, it was very easy to distinguish. President Bayer's behavior habits at that time suddenly became another one. In other words, the murderer who really made the nuclear bomb launch was still at large!
Moreover, Fury seriously suspected that there was a force behind the shooting and self-explosion incident, the purpose was to subvert the US regime.
When it came to national security issues, the FBI and S. H. I. E. L. D. worked together. The two organizations almost came out in full force, like mad dogs day and night, capturing all the personnel involved.
Thanks to the two organizations going crazy, Hell's Kitchen was quiet a lot during this period of time. The gangs hid like they disappeared. For a time, the crime rate of the entire New York fell sharply. It made people have an illusion that they had really returned to the peaceful era.
Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Lod.
Seireitei was like a pure land isolated from the world, allowing the outside world to be full of storms and thunder, and no one dared to disturb him.
However, there was a special guest today, the president of Stark Group, Tony Stark.
In fact, Lod was not surprised at all that Tony would come to find him. It could even be said that he expected it.
After all, after seeing Soul Society's strength with his own eyes, if Tony could still sit peacefully, either he had a big heart or a hole in his brain, it was obvious that he did not occupy either of them.
Even if he thought about it with his butt, he knew that Tony was probably afraid.
He had no other choice, so he wanted to find him to solve the problem of his unregistered household.
Lod crossed his legs and leisurely sat on the sofa. He said with a smile, "Why didn't you go find your little pepper to kiss? Why did you come to me?"
"I..."
Tony's eyelids twitched slightly. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He seemed to be thinking about how to open his mouth. After all, he had never done something like begging someone in his life.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I still have to go out later." Lod waved his hand and said, "I promised Nemu last time that I would take her to the amusement park when I'm done."
"Uh. Actually, I haven't been there for a long time. Why don't we go together?" Tony's face turned red and he said after holding it in for a long time.
After saying this, he felt ashamed. A person who was close to thirty years old actually wanted to go to the amusement park. If others knew about this, he would lose all his face.
"Are you sick?"
Lod looked at him as if he was crazy and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't go around with me. If an old man in his thirties or forties goes to the amusement park, others will think that you are a pervert."
"..."
Tony was expressionless. After looking at Lod, he silently complained in his heart, "You are an old man in his 200s, yet you still have the nerve to call me a pervert?"
"Actually, it was Frank who suggested me to come." Tony took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. He said bluntly, "He said that you have a way to help me become stronger, so I came to find you, hoping that you can train me."
"Aren't you very powerful yourself?" Lod raised his eyebrows and said, "your zanpakuto has developed well. I have seen it all. There is no need for me to train."
"Yes, but I found that it is far from enough to escape from those captains with just these methods. I must become stronger!" Tony said with a serious face.
"You may have misunderstood me."
Lod laughed and shook his head. "I am not as powerful as you think. If you want to find me and help you become stronger than the captain, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"No, you are wrong, Lod."
Tony changed his usual mischievous smile and said solemnly, "I don't ask you to train me into a captain because I know it's unrealistic. I just want to learn the basics about death god from you."
"If you want to learn the basics, can Frank teach you too?" Lod stood up from the sofa and said with a faint smile, "Why do you have to go so far to come and find me?"
"Because you are stronger than Frank!"
Tony showed his white teeth and smiled. "Everyone thinks I am a genius. I don't need a teacher to teach me and I can be self-taught. But in fact, they have neglected one thing. My father, Howard Stark, is my teacher!"
Lod smiled and asked, "So?"
"So... I deeply understand one thing." Tony took a deep breath and paused for a moment. "No matter what kind of genius he is, it is impossible for him to explore the unknown field alone. An outstanding and powerful teacher is the beacon that leads him to the right path."
"death god. Spiritual power. These are all fields that I am completely unfamiliar with. Therefore, any known modern science and experience can not provide me with any help."
"During the New York War, I saw the battles of the captains. To be honest, I was very afraid because I found that my armor and preparations were like a toy in front of you."
"So I realized that the gap between me and death god is not the so-called Spiritual Power, but the gap between experience and technology. I need to learn the basic theories of your death god."
"Your steps, sword techniques, and even Kido, these Frank can't teach me, and the only person who can teach me these things right now is you!"
Tony said in one breath, and then carefully looked at Lod, nervously waiting for the final result.
After a moment of silence, the corners of Lod's lips curled up slightly. He smiled and said, "Not bad, very few people can clearly understand the importance of foundation to death god. You are much smarter than Frank."
"So that's how it is." When Tony heard this, his eyes lit up with surprise.
"Mm ---I promise you."
Lod smiled and said, "But you have to be mentally prepared. I won't show mercy. If you die, don't blame me."
"Uh."
Tony hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the teasing look in Lod's eyes, his desire to win rose again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, since I said it, I definitely won't go back on my word. If there's anything, just come at me!"
Lod smiled without saying a word.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to bury Hōgyoku in Tony's body, but now he didn't have to worry about it anymore, and he directly came to pick him up.
