Afghanistan, in a secret base, has never been so lively now, with gunfires being made.

"Come on, it's time for us to leave." Tony Stark, in war armor, said to Ethan, who was lying on the sandbag after cleaning the last enemy in the cave.

While talking, he tried hard not to look at the holes that were gurgling blood on Ethan's body.

In order to buy Tony for the time to start the armor, Ethan's life is about to disappear, but they don't have time to deal with the wound now. Moreover, the most primitive version of armor on Tony Stark is not enough to support him in doing the delicate work of bandaging the wound.

"no..."

Because of excessive bleeding, Ethan is now in his dying state and speaks weakly.

"Go away! We agreed first, Tony Stark will not break his trust!" Tony's tone was quick. In fact, he knew in his heart that there were countless KB members outside. Even if he brought Ethan with him, he would not be able to leave without ensuring Ethan's safety.

“The situation is changing, Stark…”

"No, you have to go back to visit your family, get up!"

"My family is dead, I'll visit them now." Ethan closed his eyes, "It's okay, I can do this... it's okay..."

"Thank you for saving me." Tony accepted the irreversible reality.

"Don't let me down, don't make fearless sacrifices..." Ethan's voice gradually disappeared.

Looking at Ethan, whose chest was no longer moving, Tony put down his armor's helmet and turned around and walked outside.

When Tony left the cave, he suddenly became filled with a purple and golden light.

"It's such a touching scene, isn't it? Gu Yi." Ding Hao walked out of the side and said softly.

"You're right." Gu Yi faced Ethan, took off his hood and saluted slightly. Ethan was the first guide on Tony Stark's heroic path.

"I can feel that the strong desire for survival in his soul is that between life and death, he can still make rational decisions, which is a noble quality that most humans cannot possess." Ding Hao raised his hand slightly at Ethan, and the golden light like clouds and mist dragged Ethan up.

Gu Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

"Don't worry, I will abide by the rules, but I'm going to give him a choice, too." Ding Hao hooked his hand and triggered Ethan's remaining soul, "Now, tell me your wish."

"I want to be alive..." A faint fluctuation came from the spiritual body.

"In the name of the God of Lamp, your wish is about to come true."

With Ding Hao's words, all the wounds on Ethan's body healed in an instant. Except for the fact that the soul and consciousness did not return, he could be considered to have come alive.

Immediately afterwards, Ethan fell down, merged into the soil, and sank into the underground more than ten meters below. Here, Ding Hao weaved a beautiful dream, a beautiful dream based on Ethan's imagination.

In this beautiful dream, the world is extremely peaceful, and Ethan's family did not lose their lives due to war. Their whole family lived in a small town called Migula, where Ethan was born.

"I asked his incomplete soul, which represents his survival instinct. He wants to live." Ding Hao clapped his hands, and all the psychedelic scenes around him dissipated, then turned his head and spoke to Gu Yi.

"Now I'm asking about his consciousness, which represents his reason. If he makes the same decision, he will return to this world in another form. If not, he will always sleep in a dream until the planet is destroyed."

"How will his reason respond?" Gu Yi continued to ask, she could not see the final result of Ethan in the future, and the people sheltered by the Lamp God will be separated from the conventional timeline.

"See if he is out of the dream." Ding Hao shrugged, "This dream is far better than what is simulated by electronic signals. It is true, and reality is more cruel and unreasonable than what he has seen."

Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She would not underestimate the people whom the Lamp God liked. Such people must have bright spots, but if there are bright spots, it is not so easy to wake up when sleeping in the dreams compiled by the Lamp God.

By the time Ethan wakes up, this important node should have ended long ago.

After all, Tony Stark has now left this demon cave, wandering in the vast desert, waiting for rescue.

Soon, the members of SHIELD who locked his position and the military members were dispatched and began to take him home.

A day later, in a house on the edge of Hell's Kitchen, Frank was stacked with a pile of drawings and documents, and he was setting up a battle plan to break through the Hands and the Jin-Gang defense line.

There are many points to consider in this combat plan. For example, after the assault is over, many teammates may become enemies in an instant, how to face and solve this problem.

The situation in Hell Kitchen is very complicated now. Frank had long discovered that not only his side was staring at this place, but once he smelt a familiar smell when he was exploring the terrain like this.

That was a trace of the military's special forces team's early operation. The military intervened in this matter for some reason.

"Can't you change a target?" Johnson next to him couldn't help but speak.

"No, guess how many people are staring at us now. Once we move, they won't believe that I'm going to change the target."

Frank paused, looked up at the TV, and the press conference held by Tony Stark was replayed. At the press conference, Tony Stark announced that the weapon manufacturing part of Stark Company would be closed as soon as possible.

"And, I don't have much time. If the task chain is broken, I don't have the confidence to complete the final task. This is the hope I can seize and I will not give up."

Johnson turned to look at the TV screen, "Do you know? The results of these divination tell me that if you persist, you will be much worse than that guy."

Johnson refers to Tony Stark who made a sudden decision.

"He's just his brain is blown up now, but at least he's back alive, and you may die there forever."

"I know, I thank you very much, Johnson, but I'm not you." Frank continued to sort out the information in front of him. "I don't have the ability to divine, and I won't believe in divination. Otherwise, one day, if I want to go out, I might have to call you in advance and ask you to tell me which leg to step first."

Johnson swallowed the rest of the dissuasion words. Indeed, Frank was right. If all his life was chosen by divination results, he really didn't know whether it was correct or sad.

Hey? Wait? Did he scold me around the bush!
