infinite hero

But Sid didn't feel the landslide at all.He just stood there and watched as Williams, who brought him in, disappeared without a trace within ten seconds, and then the ground became overgrown with weeds exactly like the surrounding ones.

It's not wise to touch anything when you don't know anything.Sid silently crossed Williams in his heart, and re-examined the surrounding area where the plants were too dense.It seemed that he had fallen on the edge of a low tropical rainforest, or wetland; for he began to notice that the trunks of the trees not far away were covered with moss, and that certain colorful animals-such as tree frogs- It is jumping among the branches and leaves, occasionally making strange sounds.

Sid is well aware that none of this is true, but that realization doesn't get him out.So he started walking in the direction of the buildings above the treetops, wondering what that suspicious sound was—

It doesn't need Williams' soul anymore?Was the river an illusion it showed Williams in the first place, or was it meant for Williams to bring others in?The more delicious soul is probably himself, right?And how did the illusions around here form?

But these questions remain unresolved for the time being.Sid walked along the muddy and winding path among the bushes, and after half an hour, he saw the outline of a building exposed among the branches and leaves.He didn't encounter any large predators, but his otherwise neat clothes were covered in mud spots and stains.

It was useless to be surprised at this time, Sid stopped and listened to the sounds outside the forest.Buildings mean people, no matter how those buildings look like they transported him back to some ancient time—

Because when he saw the square tops of those trapezoidal buildings, he expected them to be flat-topped pyramids!And what he saw proved that they really were—

What appeared before him seemed to be a square.Some stones are piled together in the middle, and the wooden frame is crooked, which seems to be the place for the bonfire; the side is empty and messy, and footprints can still be seen in some places; there are some collapsed wooden sheds around, maybe people lived place.

However, none of these are as eye-catching as the pyramids.They are all made of stone, with sloping frontal steps leading up to the top.There are stone chambers on it, which are likely to be sacrificial temples, and the gate seems to be ajar.

But there is no sound.Whether it is the sound of logging, knocking stones or discussing, there is no sound at all.The glorious days of the village before him seemed lost to history, and now it stood silent in the silence of death.

Sid couldn't make up his mind, this place was so weird.But he is stuck here now, and it is impossible to be stuck here forever.

"Come in quickly... Believe me, I can give you whatever you want..."

The magical whisper sounded again, and Sid suddenly looked around. "Who are you?"

But the other party didn't seem to hear his question. "Don't be nervous, come in... There are no monsters waiting for you in front of you... Everything will be very comfortable, as long as I get your soul... After all these years, I have waited..."

Sid finally came to his senses.He seems to be caught in a one-way link: He can hear the other person's thoughts, but the other person doesn't know it.Because no liar will say "I'm a liar" and the other party said it with bad intentions from the beginning.

So how the hell do we get out of this place?

Sid was a little grumpy.He had to take a few deep breaths before taking the first step towards the square.The green light must be caused by that voice, or something behind that voice, as long as it is resolved...

At the same time, Tony was standing outside the collapsed cave, staring blankly.

"...about a dozen tourists were buried inside. Sir, we will do our best to search and rescue, please..."

Tony couldn't hear a word of the staff's persuasion.All he knew now was that Sid was still inside, and he couldn't blast away the falling rubble to find him! "...Why the sudden earthquake?" He gritted his teeth and asked.

The staff was stunned for a moment, and then he heard an electronic British voice reply: "I'm afraid it's not an earthquake, sir."

"...What?" Everyone who heard this was shocked.

"There hasn't been any major frictional movement of the plates over the past hour," Jarvis said, "and in fact, the center of the quake is at the surface... less than three kilometers southeast of here."

Tony stopped talking nonsense and immediately activated the flight thrusters.ground?That's basically a human reason... Which god damn guy is it? !

Three kilometers is a matter of minutes for Mark Armor, so Tony quickly caught the target - a basin between mountains, normal; a silver sledgehammer in the middle, a bit weird; there is a circle of impact craters on the side...

Well, who's okay to litter? !

His goal was so big that the busy people below discovered his existence almost immediately.

"Why are you here, Mr. Stark?" The person who shouted this was Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Since Coulson is Fury's right-hand man, he once helped Fury give Tony a few words. It's okay once it shows up.

"I should ask you that," Tony said while pushing away the visor, allowing himself to be suspended at a height where he could look down on the opponent without losing sight of his face. "What is that?" He pointed to the impact Hammer in the center of the pit.

Coulson frowned slightly.This matter should not have been discovered by Tony—you must know that Tony's curiosity is beyond the limit, and he has to figure out why everything is unknown—so the situation is particularly embarrassing now. "If only I knew." He spread his hands.

But Coulson was wrong. Tony wasn't interested in studying the hammer right now—at least until he got Sid out of it.So he stared at the hammer, and quickly looked back: "Who is responsible for this?"

"Huh?" Coulson almost lost track of his train of thought.Is it his illusion that Iron Man seems to be seeking revenge? "What happened to you?"

"Earthquake!" Tony said angrily, flying several inches higher. "The cave below has collapsed!"

Coulson finally understood why Tony was here. "Is there someone in the cave?" He made a guess effortlessly, "Who?" Who could make the CEO of Stark Industries, whose eyes were above the top, angrily question him?

As for Sid, he's gone round the modest square and found nothing of value except for a broken Aztec calendar stone (with a Helios mark in the center, which he'd seen in a museum) .Now he knew it was an Aztec site, but he still didn't know how to get out.

After thinking for a few seconds, Sid finally made up his mind to climb the largest pyramid in the center.He had a hunch that the truth was in it.

The steps of the pyramid are very high.Even though Sid has always paid attention to exercise, he still panted slightly after climbing up.He rested for a while, and then walked to the half-hidden stone gate.He didn't even need to push it away, he knew there must be what he was looking for—

A green light leaked through the crack of the door, and the coaxing voice became clearer.He took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

A whole green place appeared in his field of vision.The walls are thick, with no windows, only continuous carvings.The ground is empty, and there is something like an altar in the center, on which are several stone basins of different sizes, as well as stone pestles.On the top of the stone basin, an oval prolate sphere with no visible texture is floating there, emitting a soft green light.

...What the hell is this?

Sid firmly believed that this thing could not be Aztec - it was too abrupt and weird - what could levitate in the air without any support?

"Come here, come closer... Let me take a good look at you... Ah, this fragrance, I can't help but make me want to move..."

Sid sniffed reflexively to make sure he didn't smell anything.The smell is indeed there, but it is a bloody stench so strong that it almost makes people cover their noses.This made him twitch his brows, and looked at it more carefully.Then he discovered that the stone basin and stone pestle he had seen before were all illusions—they were actually made of human bones!It's a human skull and calf bone!

Although he did not think he was timid, the hairs on Sid's back still stood up.He realized that the closer he was to that green light source, the greater the disorienting effect of the illusion.

With this caution, Sid approached much slower.Step by step he approached, paying careful attention to the top of his head and the soles of his feet; and when he finally got close enough, he found that he saw something else in the prolate oval sphere—

Still green fields and clear skies.It's just that there are no trapezoidal buildings in the distance this time, but taller trees.There might be something beyond the trees, but he couldn't see clearly.

...What the hell is this?Sid was a little apprehensive.If he gets closer, will he go to a new world again?

Isn't the place where he is in an illusion?

Sid was startled and didn't dare to get any closer.But the voice seemed dissatisfied with his pause: "Come here... just a little bit... It has been here for 5000 years, and I have been waiting here for 3000 years... I thought I would have to wait endlessly, but obviously I'm lucky... I'm going to leave here, I'm going to be the master of the universe..."

Sid didn't hear what happened next.He passed out from a blow to the back of his head.
