Chapter 1047: Astonishing the Worldly People (Twenty-Four)_1

Elsewhere, Stark found Shiller in the corridor of the Holy Sanctuary. Shiller's appearance was intact, but Stark narrowed his eyes. He stood at the corner of the corridor and lightly pressed a button on his watch.

At this time, JARVIS, who was engrossed in Shiller's story about his intellectual duel with the Goddess of Death, coughed lightly, "Sorry, Doctor Shiller. Mr. Howard, who has just returned, wants to see the latest model of the Battle Armor. I need to go over to him first. If you could, please come to the Stark Building in a few days, and we will talk in detail…"

Shiller seemed in a good mood, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go ahead, I'll come over for a drink another day..."

JARVIS, controlling the latest Iron Armor, walked towards the corner. After Stark had entered the Battlesuit, JARVIS sent him the recording of Shiller's storytelling.

In the beginning, Stark was engrossed, until he heard Shiller speak about going to find the Goddess of Death with his own arm. He couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked. So he asked JARVIS, "Are you sure he's not talking nonsense???"

"Sir, regardless of whether Doctor Shiller is talking nonsense, this shows that his mental status is definitely not very good. If he didn't go looking for the Goddess of Death with his own arm, then it indicates that he may have had an illusion. If he did so, the injury to his soul could be even more severe…"

"Modify it to use the Magic Energy Core!" Stark decisively ordered.

JARVIS replaced the core of the Mech with a magic energy core, but didn't immediately elevate himself. Instead, he located Loki, who was still in a daze, and said to him, "We need to make a trip to Asgard, then elevate above the cosmos. I want to look forward at the timeline."

Loki nodded and said, "But I have to bring Helen first, my mother is going crazy without seeing her granddaughter."

"It's her granddaughter." Stark said, and commanded JARVIS to bring Helen. After a while, Helen was brought over by the Mech. Before she left, she'd been holding a book. Once she landed, she adjusted her glasses and said, "…What's the matter?"

Stark didn't look at her, but at the book in her hand first. He was surprised to find it was a book on cosmodynamics, or in simple terms, how to build a rocket engine.

Immediately, Stark thought of a more troubling issue, so he turned to Loki and asked, "My parents have resurrected. Now, the question is, how am I going to explain Helen to them?"

"Hmm…" Loki hesitated for a while, "I can be in a female form initially, but in this case, how will you explain Pepper to them? You cannot say we are divorced, and you found someone new!"

"No, no, no, that's not an option!" Stark immediately denied, "My mother will go crazy. She will say I am an irresponsible husband and father!"

Stark held his head, feeling his brain buzzing. He knew that the issue of Helen's origin would explode sooner or later. Loki contemplated for a while, then suggested, "How about push it to Shiller? It was originally his doing anyway."

"Please, he is not like you. He is a man, isn't that even more absurd?"

"Who said so?" Loki rolled his eyes, "There are so many personalities in his Tower of Thought, who knows if there is a female personality? Besides, he's essentially a fog, isn't it up to him for his gender?"

Stark sighed deeply, "Just now, Maria was glad for me finding such a good friend. If I tell her it's a romance, she will be even more ecstatic!"

Stark shook his head, "Let's not talk about this. First off, let's figure out the price Shiller paid to resurrect my parents…"

The two took the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard, delivering Helen to Frigga first before elevating themselves above the cosmos. Loki helped Stark conceal the fluctuations from that moment, and Stark looked forward along the timeline.

And then, he saw the scene of Shiller taking his own arm to find the Goddess of Death.

After coming down from the cosmos, Stark held his head again, "Either Shiller or I must be crazy! I am not hallucinating, am I???"

Loki looked at him. Stark said, "Shiller really cut off a part of his soul, used it to exchange for my parents' resurrection, and according to the energy fluctuation of that part, it was a powerful energy."

Stark frowned and said, "…Why would it be like this?"

Loki hesitated for a moment. From the perspective of an observer, he thought of Shiller's earlier psychotherapy on him. So he asked, "Did you mention anything to him during your discussion?"

Stark thought for a while. He couldn't remember exactly what he had said. From a logic deduction, he was sure he must have mentioned several things – money, masculinity, and his relationship with his father.

Then, as if remembering something, Stark mumbled to himself, "Don't tell me I…"
