Time seemed to stop.

The fire from the gun barrel, the head that was hit after being hit by the bullet.

The muzzle of the gun was pressed against the temple, and the wound barely bled.

She fell.

The expected bullet was squeezed out of the wound or other things did not happen, the bullet hole was not big, and the area around the wound was surprisingly clean.

He couldn't move, he could only watch as she closed her eyes and fell on the carpet lifelessly.

He was shocked.

The fact that Clint suddenly shot at Alicia was already extremely weird, but Alicia died like this, which surprised him even more: Someone who can't even be killed by a nuclear explosion will be mere One bullet kills.

Clint laid her flat, cut open the upper body of the dress skirt with a knife, took out a chest opener and a chest knife, cut her ribs, opened the chest cavity, and carefully took out her heart.

A lot of blood flowed out, soaking the carpet.

Clint held her heart with his hands covered in her blood, turned his head and gave Tony Stark a weird and smug smile.

her heart.

It was beating regularly, boom, boom, he seemed to be able to hear the powerful heartbeat.

His heart ached like he couldn't breathe.

Clint walked to the wooden box, and pressed a few times on the top cover of the box with his bloodstained left hand.

With a slight "click", the wooden box rang.

Clint pushed open the top cover, and put the heart held in his right hand into the wooden box.

The heartbeat is getting louder and louder, it is really a sound that can be heard by the ears.

Boom, boom, boom.

A few minutes later, a person stood up in the wooden box.

The reason why Tony and Alicia did not regard this wooden box as a coffin is because it is three times the size of a normal coffin, and it has no pattern. It is just a black wooden box nailed into a rectangle. wooden box.

Now it seems that it is a large-sized coffin.

The clothes on the man were already torn, and with the movement of his figure, they quickly shattered into pieces and fell into the wooden box.

Brilliant blond hair that was as long as the legs, shining like gold.

Stretching out his arm, supporting Clint's shoulder, he stepped out of the wooden box, turned around, walked in front of Tony with only one step, and raised his hand to touch his cheek.

Tony couldn't help but want to hug her - he didn't even think about how he could move again.

Lying on the floor was Alicia's body without a heart, and the woman with long golden hair in front of her was also Alicia.

No, rather, the grown-up version of Alicia.

It looks like she is about 20 years old, her body has developed into a woman, with perfectly shaped breasts, slender and powerful long legs, wasp waist and buttocks, delicate collarbones and round and lovely shoulders, the point is, she is completely naked .

Tony thought he should look away from her, but the truth was, he couldn't look away.

Clint wipes his hands, fetches the whole outfit, and puts it on for her.

First the lace bodice, then the silk blouse, the silk petticoat and the skirt of printed silk.

After getting dressed, she turned to look at Alicia on the floor.

Clint squatted down, removed the chest opener, closed her sternum, wrapped a thin blanket around her naked upper body, picked her up, put her in the wooden box, and closed the top.

The blond Alicia kept looking at Clint.

After finishing all this, Clint came to her side again, lowered his head, "Master, welcome to the 21st century."

The blond Alicia said something that no one understood.

Then she raised her hands again and pressed Clint's head.

Clint had a pained look on his face.

About 2 minutes later, she let go, and Clint knelt down at her feet in pain.

She turned to look at Tony, smiling, "Tony Stark."

Even the voice is like Alicia.

"Is her name Alicia? Strack thinks she's my reincarnation."

"Strack?" Tony looked at Clint in surprise, no, that wasn't Clint, it was Strack, and he recovered his face.

Strack laughed despite the pain on his face.

The next second, he was stepped on his chest by the blond Alicia, "Without my permission, you can't talk, laugh, or act at will."

"Yes Master."

The blood-soaked carpet was gone, and a new, clean carpet had been laid.

Blonde Alicia sat on the couch, Tony sat across from her.

"My previous name was Ananke, or you can call me Alicia if you like."

"Goddess Ananke?" Tony was not surprised: it might make sense in this way.Alicia is the reincarnation of Ananke, so her immortality and other super powers are taken for granted. Her heart can resurrect Ananke, and when Ananke is resurrected, Alicia can only die.

Ananke is Alicia, Alicia is Ananke, the body is not important.

But no matter what, the heartache is still unbearable: the Alicia who knows nothing about her origin is his Alicia.

Blonde Alicia, or Ananke, he had to treat her differently from his Alicia.

"It's so sad!" Ananke sighed: "Not many people know Chronos now, and even fewer people know me. What is it called? 'Twilight of the Gods'? Or 'Fall of God'?"

"Maybe it's 'American Gods,'" Tony said absently.

"Have all the gods arrived in the New World?" She chuckled. "Arrogant Americans! Do you know why Strucker resurrected me?"

"I don't know." If you don't know, you don't know, there's nothing wrong with it. "I heard that Hydra was established to retrieve a mutant with extraordinary abilities from a different dimension."

Ananke laughed, "What mutants! You should know that there were no mutants in the time when I existed, and besides, Strucker is not that stupid! He has already regarded me as his master, and he will not want a small and pathetic mutant Man is his master."

"What about you?" Tony couldn't help asking: "Kronos almost erased your existence, and no one in the future will know who you are, what you have done, and how amazing you are. Isn't that also sad? ?"

"You are wrong. 'Existence' cannot be erased. Of course, Chronos is my husband who betrayed me. I will not make the same mistake again. Now, on this earth, I am the only god, The only eternal existence." She smiled charmingly, "I only need to snap my fingers, and the world you know will no longer exist, and your pride, your past, and your life will be completely changed. Do you want Change?"

"No thanks, I think the world is pretty good now." Tony refused.

"Don't you want to see your parents again?" Ananke threw out the temptation very happily, "You can't imagine my ability, I will resurrect your parents, you can have the opportunity to repair the father-son relationship with your father, and Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy your mother's love again?"

God!This temptation is too attractive!

Tony Stark simply couldn't say no.

But he managed to maintain a little reason, and asked with difficulty: "Then what? What price will I have to pay?" There is nothing that does not require a price, and he understands this truth.

Ananke's smile was as sweet as honey, "For you personally, there is no need to pay the price."

"Why? Why me?"

"Because I want to, and I can do it."

Tony was really moved.When his parents died in a car accident, he was just a 21-year-old reckless young man. He never thought that his parents would be gone forever. He has always regretted that he didn't tell his father "I love you", and he has been heartbroken that he can no longer follow him. Mothers decorate the Christmas tree together.

God is probably like this. He does things according to his mood, and he only cares about "I like it".This kind of thinking is actually very close to those dangerous murderers: I am willing, I can.Studies of serial killers have shown that most serial killers kill because "I can do it" and there is no need to kill.

God does not care about the lives of mortals, because mortals are insignificant and insignificant.

Anan Ke would ask him "Would you like it", which is also quite strange.

But then, he understood that it didn't matter whether he agreed or not, she was just asking casually.

The power of a god only needs a snap of fingers.

There were two more people in the living room below, and one of them was looking up at the loft sofa in the middle, "Tony! You didn't tell us you had guests."

It was the familiar voice that had sounded in his dreams countless times.

Tony almost jumped up.

He couldn't believe it, watching Maria Stark walking up the stairs, and Howard Stark slowly following behind his wife.

He stood up nervously, then glanced at Ananke.

"Mother." After many years, he was finally able to see her again.

Maria smiled, "Dear, this is Alicia you said last time, isn't it?"

Ananke stood up and held out her hand, "Hi Maria, I'm Alicia, Tony's fiancée."

Maria was surprised and delighted, "You—you're engaged! Congratulations, Tony! You should have told me sooner."

Howard smiled very warmly, and reached out to shake her hand, "Hello Alicia, welcome to our home."

Maria was in high spirits, "Are you going to hold an engagement banquet? I have to see what venues can be used for the banquet. Tony didn't tell us much. I don't know what flowers and colors you like. Do you have a favorite hotel? ?"

Tony was taken aback. "We—Alicia and I are not engaged."

Maria stared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Were you drunk again last night? Look, this is the engagement ring your father gave me back then." She took Anan Ke's left hand and showed him the sapphire on Anan Ke's left hand Ring, "I gave you this ring a long time ago, and I've always hoped to see the girl wearing it sooner. I'm so happy!"

Tony stared at the sapphire ring: it was indeed his mother's relic, the ring Howard used to propose.

He was already messed up: seeing his parents who had been dead for so many years, of course, messed up his heart, his brain.On the one hand, he was excited, and felt extremely happy to be able to enjoy family happiness again; on the other hand, he knew that this was unnatural, so he was very painful. Ananke gave him a temptation that he could not refuse and could not give up, and he could not say "" I don't want this kind of world."

Nothing has changed, no, it has, he is no longer an orphan.

Mariah and Howard never seemed to leave, and it was no surprise that Tony was 21 instead of 43.

"He might be drunk," Ananke glanced at him with a smile, "I know he's joking, how can I forget the proposal?"

Tony wanted to say: No, I didn't propose.

But he wisely didn't say it.

Maria is very happy, full of the excitement of a future mother-in-law who is about to get busy; Howard has an expression of "my son finally knows what responsibility is" on his face, which is very "my family has just grown up". .

He was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to treat his "fiancée". It seemed that Ananke was "playing" a good-fiancée, and the other party was—well, whether it was "resurrection" or "creation", he really couldn't figure it out. clear.The night was too exciting for him, he lost his Alicia, but Ananke looked like her, sounded like her, walked like her, but wasn't her, and he couldn't figure out what he was going to do. What to do.

He is confused and joyful, happy and worried.

There seemed to be something wrong in this world, but what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.

Outside the glass wall, the sky was bright, and he subconsciously turned his head to look out: there are many buildings around, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Rockefeller Center, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in the distance—wait, the Twin Towers?

He thought he was dazzled, so he looked carefully: it was indeed the Twin Towers.

"WTF" in his head: what happened?

Looking again, the surrounding steel jungle seems to be a bit different from before. The roofs of some buildings have changed their signboards, and some buildings built later have changed their appearance.

--This is how the same thing?

He wondered.

The elevator door opened, and Pepper stepped out of the elevator, "Mr. Stark, you have a meeting at 8:10 today, and you have a conference call with the Secretary of Defense at [-] o'clock."

"Pepper?" Another surprise.No, wait, how did she become his personal assistant again?

"You have thirty minutes to change. Double espresso?" She went to the coffee machine and opened the can of beans.

He didn't have time to think about Pepper; Maria was talking to him about the engagement party and asking when he was free.

"I always have time, you just make a time and I'll be there." He was absent-minded.

At 8:[-], he went downstairs for a meeting.

The conference room is still on the original floor, the original size, and the original staff; the Stark Industries logo has not changed, but the interior decoration style has changed slightly.

Party A at the meeting was Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries, and Party B was Norman Osborn, CEO of Osborne Industries. The topic was the ratio of military weapons orders next year.

Tony thinks this is simply impossible: Stark Industries has withdrawn from the ranks of traditional weapons bidding, and now the cooperation projects with the Pentagon are all high-tech products; besides, it is the years when Stark Industries was a weapons contractor, Osborn The industry is not qualified to sit down with Stark Industries to discuss the quota ratio at all, okay?Stark Industries eats meat, and Osborn Industries can only pick up a few broken bones to gnaw on.

He strained his nerves, trying to figure out what had happened: Ananke had given him back his parents and changed the world, but in what ways?

After the meeting he went back to the top floor.

Maria and Howard had already left. Ananke came down from the intermediate platform and stood in the living room. Two tailors were tailoring for her. Strucker stood aside in his World War II Gestapo uniform.

Tony stared at him for a moment, puzzled.

Anan Ke waved to him, "Darling, I want to make some skirts, your skirts are very nice, I like them very much."

"You can make as many dresses as you want." The words came out without a second thought.

"And jewelry. I don't know why, but carbon crystals are so popular! How strange!"

"Master, I will make all the jewelry stores in New York send their best diamonds for you to choose from." Strack respectfully.

"Let Tony take a look first, Tony must have a good eye."

"As ordered."

"Okay, you go down first. Think about what you want, I can satisfy your wishes, but not unlimited."

"Of order, Master." Strack bowed and took his leave.

Coming up from Tony again, Ananke didn't even look at Strack.

Tony thought, this is the sorrow of a guy who needs others. Although he reborn Ananke, Ananke saw that he was just a small mortal, no higher than dust.

And me?He thought again, I also asked her, didn't I?She made up for the greatest regret of my life, and I have since become a miserable creature under her control.

His desire to see his parents again overwhelmed everything, but he couldn't really tell if that was a good thing.

Perhaps, because this matter violates the laws of nature.The dead are already at rest, why bring them back to life?Will they remember the car accident?Or, the car accident never happened?But he does remember how miserable he was at 21, and how sad the funeral was.

He didn't even dare to ask Maria if she remembered being in a car accident.

"They don't remember the car accident," Ananke walked in front of him, carefully watching the expression on his face, "They don't remember the death. In their memory, they have always lived a good life. Now, are you satisfied?" It seems a bit Surprised, "Are you crying? For what? For Maria? You seem to have a better relationship with Maria. This is not surprising. Since the concept of husband and wife, parents and children in human society, father and son have always been in a competitive relationship. Son Growing up means that your father is old and dying. Everyone is afraid of death, and the more people own private property, the more afraid of death. Tony, are you afraid of death?"

Tony wiped his tears with his hand, "You mean, my parents survived, and the price is that I will die soon?"

"Oh, darling, why do you think that!" she smiled. "I don't want you to die, and no one can make you die except me."

Her lips were cold, soft, but icy, with a hint of orange blossom sweetness.

Her kisses were also rather cold and emotionless, just lips touching each other without passion.

The two hugged each other strangely and restrainedly, and kissed for a while.

There was no unexpected thunder to shake the ground, and I was not excited at all.

"Are you thinking about Alicia?" Her lips parted, and she looked at him thoughtfully. "Isn't it nice that you understand that she is me? If she stays a girl, you can't kiss her, and you can't talk to her." She fucks. I'm Alicia when I grow up, we look the same, we have the same DNA sequence, you don't have to fight about it. I'm her, she's me."

But that's still not the same.

"No, you're not her."

"Whatever." She waved her hand, "Okay, it's time for you to go to the meeting. Let's have lunch together at noon, and then you will accompany me on a tour in the afternoon, this time from New York to Washington, DC, for 3 days."

"Watching what?" Tony was puzzled.

"Darling, you need to remediate the history of World War II and after World War II. Asimov, starting from 1945, give him remedial history events."

"Yes, master."

History goes like this.

In 1964, China also successfully tested the first atomic bomb;
