[Comprehensive British and American] Super British can't save the world

Tony was stunned, but he couldn't figure it out even more. "There are fewer people who know Kronos than Kronos. How can there be his temple?"

"It's really strange." Alicia pondered, "My ancient Greek is not bad, but the text on it... I can't read it."

"I'm not very good at ancient languages, but I don't think this is a 'normal' temple in the traditional sense." Not a normal thing. "Can you describe what's in here?"

"A very, very, very huge statue of Chronos, the point is not 'huge', but he's golden."

"Gold? Pure gold? How high?"

"Uh... this height is probably about the same height as your Stark Tower."

Even the well-informed Tony Stark was taken aback: "So tall!" This means that the height of the temple is at least as high as Stark Tower, and this statue can be said to be quite amazing.

"So the temple is huge?"

"Indeed, it is very tall, but relatively speaking, it is relatively narrow. It is roughly equivalent to a rectangular stone box in the Stark Tower, but the length and width are a little more bold."

"Interesting." Tony pondered for a moment, "The human body does not need such a tall statue at all. Although the bigger the statue is, the more it can express the worship of believers, but it is really rare that it is so huge that the face of the statue cannot be seen at all. Describe it."

"The architectural structure of the Parthenon, the walls and floors are all marble with patterns, and there are reliefs on both sides—"

"New temple, or weathered?" The question hardly needs an answer, as the smooth marble floor underfoot says it all.

“So new it looks like it was built yesterday.”

Tony thought for a moment, "——can you detect the illusion?"

"Phantom?" Alicia replied without thinking, "Absolutely not. You can't see it now, and the phantom is useless to you."

"Did you feel something was wrong?"

She smiled, "Nowhere is right. Now there is no magnetic field here, and I can't take you flying."

This is not good news.

Alicia looked around, "I think there must be some strange and important place here. Our enemy—no matter who he is, brought us to this place, it must not be for us to see the largest statue in human history of."

"I think he wants you, I'm just collateral damage."

She laughed again, "Tony, I thought you wouldn't be so stupid!"

"Hey!" Don't accept it!Brother has always been a genius, okay?

"Aren't you curious? Is there something that needs me and you to solve?"

Tony pondered: She's right, if only Alicia is needed to solve the problem, no one will take the trouble to bring in a second person, and the evil villain will not do such a thing.So here comes the question: what needs her immortal body and his brilliant mind to solve?

He was still thinking, when he heard a voice, something approaching rapidly from far to near, and Alicia cursed in a low voice.

A few drops of warm liquid splashed onto his face, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it before realizing: it was blood, Alicia's blood.

"Ellie!" he exclaimed.

"I am fine."

"What is it?"

"An arrow."

"Where did you hurt?"

"Left shoulder." She grabbed the arrow shaft with her right hand and pulled out the arrow.

That position should have been aimed at his heart.

He reached out and tried to feel, "Be careful." He touched her hair.

"I'm fine, but maybe, the temple won't let us stand here and do nothing. Damn it! I need to know exactly what to do in order to take action, right? Whoa, whoa—" she was not finished , there was a vibration under the feet, and as far as the line of sight was concerned, the floor moved staggered in the form of a grid, and the size of each grid was about one foot (about 1.8 meters) in ancient Greece.

The bodies of the two shook with the vibration of the floor, and Tony subconsciously hugged her tightly, but his center of gravity was still unstable and he almost fell.

Some floors caved in, some moved back and forth, side to side, and after 1 minute, the floors redistributed and stopped.

"What happened?" Tony was deeply troubled at this moment that he couldn't see.

"The floor is moving, and there are no floors in some places. It probably means that we need to keep walking, and we can't always stand on this floor. Are you feeling better? Let me help you, let's take a few steps to see."

Tony felt uncomfortable, but agreed anyway.Still with his arms on her shoulders, she bears at least half of his weight.

"Or what precious treasures do you want to get from here? Isn't it like this in all temples? What treasures will believers or priests dedicate to their gods." Walk forward carefully and walk to another floor. "You really don't have to worry about crushing me, just imagine me as an adult woman about your age."

"Sorry, that's impossible. You probably don't quite know how I feel about women—"

"I know, Pepper told me a little bit."

—Damn it!Why would Pepper tell her this kind of thing?

He felt even more uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Pepper is just explaining to me why you're not married yet."

Uh, it's still weird, okay?

"She said, you are afraid of marriage, afraid of commitment, afraid of developing a stable relationship with a certain woman. Before you get it, you are a perfect lover, sweet talk, flowers and wine; Afraid of being loved by someone."

Tony nearly had a heart attack.

Fortunately, you can still deceive yourself: Anyway, you can't see the expression on her face, so just pretend it's not an important matter.Pepper really knew him all too well.

"You have to know that the world of adults is very complicated." He still couldn't help treating her as a child. "It's not as simple as one plus one equals two. Sometimes it's because you haven't found the right person."

"Is Pepper the 'right man'?"

"That's between me and her, Ellie, why are you talking to Pepper about that?"

"Because some people say that I am your daughter, so people probably think that you are old enough to become a father."

Really heartbroken.

Cough, this logical relationship is not very strict, but this is probably the way she thinks about problems.

Tony didn't even want to explain to her the truth that "a man's 40 is the golden age".

The floor began to move back and forth, left and right again, and there were a few more pieces of the sunken floor.

Alicia stopped, "Now, there is a place with no floor next to it. I don't know how to go. Could it be that I just went wrong?"

"Is there no hint?" asked hopelessly.

"No."

"Describe the reliefs on the walls on both sides. What are they? Maybe you will get a hint."

The wall on the left is about the creation legend of Chronos, which is relatively easy to understand and the narrative is very clear; the wall on the right is about a chaotic battle, in which Chronos with three heads fought against many enemies.

"It is said that Kronos' wife is Ananke, the goddess of inevitability. Is there Ananke here?"

"I can't tell which one is Anan Ke."

"Interesting, it seems the builders of the temple intended to erase Ananke. Now, go east two floors."

Alicia supported Tony and walked eastward, "Patriarchy wants to destroy matriarchy?"

"Or, Ananke's power actually surpassed Chronos, but in the end Chronos won the victory and won the highest honor, so the traces or existence of Ananke must be erased."

"It's quite understandable, 'History is written by the victors'."

"Correct."

The floor started moving back and forth and side to side again, and they stopped.

After the floor was still, Alicia took a closer look, "No floor disappeared this time, it seems that you are going in the right direction."

Tony smiled rarely, "Now, move forward one floor."

They moved slowly across the floor of the great temple.

Tony gradually felt something was wrong: after drinking her blood, not only was he no longer thirsty, he was not too hungry either.The pain relief effect is probably the psychological effect at the beginning. After the wound is opened, it still hurts.But they couldn't stop, they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

However, it is impossible for a seriously injured person to keep walking for a long time. When Alicia noticed that he was covered in cold sweat, he was about to collapse.

"You'd better rest for a while." She helped him sit down, "Let me see your wound."

He was wearing a hospital gown, tied at the back.He untied the tie, took off his shirt, and then untied the gauze.

"The wound is open, but the stitches are not broken." She roughly pressed the dirty gauze on the wound on his chest, "Lie down."

Tony lay down, "What are you going to do? I don't think you have any superpowers to heal wounds, do you?"

"I don't have that kind of super power." She replied seriously: "But I can try it." Stretching out her finger and swipe in the air, the crack was exposed, and she reached out and took out a quick-drying glue, "Doctors in the field do this. It is used by emergency doctors sometimes, and quick-drying glue is a good substitute if you don’t have any suitable tools at hand.”

Carefully apply glue to the wound, kneading carefully.

"Probably can resist for a few hours, as long as you are careful, don't make any big moves or fall again."

If it wasn't really painful, Tony would have laughed. "You still have quick-drying glue with you?"

"You don't need to know where the glue came from."

Having said that, Tony thought, "Is it your 'void' space crack?" About her mysterious superpower, he didn't even tell Bruce Banner, only he and Pepper know for now, oh, and Asimov knew it too.

Probably an ability to "tear space" without causing turbulence in time and space. He is too busy, so he should really study her ability earlier.
