"See? I knew it would be like this!"
Tony Stark immediately shrugged at everyone around him, wearing a smug expression as he showed off.
"Oh, give it a rest, Stark. That was Peter's choice, not yours!" Thor mercilessly exposed Tony Stark.
Everyone could see it clearly—if Tony Stark hadn't stepped in to take the risk for Peter Parker, he definitely wouldn't have made that choice himself.
[Congratulations to contestant Tony Stark for obtaining the reward: one pill of NZT-48.][The reward has been issued. Please check it.]
As the system's voice fell, a transparent pill that looked utterly ordinary appeared in Tony Stark's hand.
There was no doubt—it was NZT-48.
"Holy crap, something like this actually exists in the world?"
Even Tony Stark couldn't help but be shocked after organizing the information about NZT-48 that had been implanted into his mind.
He was seriously stimulated.
There was no other reason—NZT-48 was simply absurdly overpowered.
After the initial shock, however, a bright light burst forth from Tony Stark's eyes. This godlike drug felt as if it had been tailor-made for him.
"So this is NZT-48?"
Thor leaned in and glanced at the small pill in Tony Stark's hand, clearly intrigued."It looks completely ordinary, nothing special at all. But your expression tells me this thing is anything but simple."
"It's just a small pill?" Peter Parker asked excitedly from the side."Mr. Stark, what exactly does this pill do?"
"It's a drug that comprehensively boosts brain efficiency," Tony Stark explained briefly."Taking just one pill fully unlocks brain potential and increases brain utilization across the board."
"Wow, this pill really suits Stark," Scott Lang shrugged and commented.
"Stark, to what extent can this drug develop the brain?"Doctor Strange asked from the hospital bed with curiosity."I imagine it must be incredible."
"That's right," Tony Stark nodded.
"In another parallel universe, there was a down-and-out writer named Eddie—so broke he could barely afford food or rent."
"But through a stroke of luck, he accidentally took one pill of NZT-48. And guess what happened?"
"He could easily recall books he casually flipped through over a decade ago just to impress girls."
"He only needed to listen to someone talk for a few minutes to rapidly master a language completely unfamiliar to him."
"A skill he'd never touched before—like playing the piano—from zero to mastery, took him just three days."
"When he got surrounded and beaten by street thugs, scenes from movies he'd watched automatically flashed through his mind, guiding his body on how to counterattack. Without any training, he effortlessly knocked them all down."
"Chemistry, finance, medicine… Any field of knowledge presented zero barriers to him. Knowledge was like cards dropped on the ground—he only had to bend down and pick them up."
"Now tell me—do you understand what kind of drug NZT-48 really is?"
Tony Stark introduced it with his usual faintly flirtatious smugness.
"Holy crap!"
Peter Parker shouted first, eyes wide open."Mr. Stark, this drug is insane! It's practically a divine medicine!"
Not only Peter Parker—everyone else was equally stunned by NZT-48.
No one had imagined that such a tiny pill could develop the human brain to such an extent.
If even a washed-up writer could reach such an unbelievable level, then what about Tony Stark—who was already far more intelligent than the average person?
They didn't even dare to imagine it.
Perhaps Tony Stark, after taking NZT-48, truly would become a god.
Maybe even the entire universe wouldn't be able to contain his steps.
In the future, he might even break through dimensional barriers like Infinite Ultron—who knows?
"But unfortunately…"
Tony Stark suddenly changed the subject, his voice carrying a hint of regret."The effects of NZT-48 only last for one day."
That meant Tony Stark could only be a "super-brain" for a single day.
"Yep. That's exactly the system's style," Doctor Strange said calmly.
The system might let you cheat—but it would never let you cheat too hard. There were always limits.
Even so, even just one day was more than enough for Tony Stark to extract tremendous value from this pill.
"Additionally, the drug has some side effects—it can cause fatigue and addiction,"Tony Stark added."But with only one pill, those side effects are negligible."
[Answer completed. Beginning playback of answer analysis!]
The system's prompt sounded again, and corresponding footage appeared on the big screen.
The first thing everyone saw was a peaceful lakeside cabin.
Tony Stark walked out of the house, hands in his pockets, and went straight to a small tent in the yard.
"Lunch time, Maguna! Morgan H. Stark, do you want to eat lunch?"Tony Stark called out while sitting on a small stool.
Morgan Stark?
The Tony Stark watching the screen froze slightly.Judging by the name—was that his daughter?
Soon, a little girl wearing an Iron Man helmet crawled out of the tent.
She extended her hand toward Tony Stark."Define lunch, or prepare to be eliminated."
"Alright, you shouldn't be wearing that," Tony Stark said gently."That was your mom's anniversary gift. Are you hungry? I can wrap a grasshopper in lettuce for you."
"No."
"Isn't that what you wanted? And how did you even find this?"
"In the garage."
"Really? Were you deliberately looking for it?"
"No."
After teasing his daughter for a while, Tony Stark picked up Morgan and prepared to head back inside.
At that moment, he noticed three figures standing outside his house.
Captain America, Black Widow, and Scott Lang.
Clearly, after Scott Lang sought out Captain America for help, the two of them had come together to find Tony Stark.
Naturally, Tony Stark received his old friends, and Scott Lang explained the idea of time travel.
"We know how crazy this sounds,"Scott Lang said after finishing.
"Tony, after everything we've been through… is anything really impossible anymore?"Captain America added.
"Quantum fluctuation reaching the Planck scale and invoking the Deutsch proposition,"Tony Stark replied immediately, professional as ever."Can we agree on that? Simply put—you can't come back here."
"I came back!" Scott Lang interjected.
"No, that was coincidence. A one-in-a-billion cosmic fluke,"Tony Stark waved it off."And now you want to perform what did you call it?"
"Time heist!"
"That's right—time heist. How did we never think of that? Because it's ridiculous. It's a daydream."
"The Infinity Stones exist in the past. We can go back, get them, snap our fingers, and bring everyone back."
"Or make things worse, right?"
…
It was clear that Captain America, Black Widow, and the others had placed great hope in Tony Stark.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they tried, they failed to convince him.
In the end, they left in defeat.
But everyone watching knew—this wasn't the end.
Whether they returned again to persuade him, or Tony Stark changed his own mind, or something else happened—
Ultimately, Tony Stark still defied his original resolve and invented the time-space GPS.
Deep down, he simply couldn't ignore a method that could save half the universe.
The scene on the screen changed.
In the kitchen, Tony Stark was washing dishes and tidying up.
After finishing, he unconsciously walked to a cabinet and picked up a photo frame.
In the frame was a picture of Tony Stark and Peter Parker together.
"Mr. Stark! That's me! That's a photo of us together!"Peter Parker shouted excitedly."This is amazing!"
He immediately looked at Tony Stark with shining eyes."Mr. Stark, after this quiz, can we—"
"Depends on my mood, kid,"Tony Stark replied proudly, though he had already agreed internally.
On the screen—
Tony Stark stared at the photo frame, his expression complex, lost in thought.
Peter Parker's death was something he could never truly let go of.
Finally, his gaze hardened.
"I've got a small inspiration,""I want to see if it works. So before shutting down tonight, I'll run one more simulation."
"This time—reversing it using a Möbius strip model."
As he spoke, he began constructing the model.
"Reversing in progress!"FRIDAY responded.
"Alright, decompose the particle eigenvalues spectrally. This may take some time,"Tony Stark continued.
"Please wait."
"Even if it fails, it's fine. I'm just—"
"Model rendering complete. Modeling successful!"
Tony Stark froze.
Time travel… was actually possible!
This segment clearly showed how Tony Stark overcame one of the greatest obstacles of time travel—step by step.
Pure academic dominance.
Möbius strips, spectral decomposition—without Banner present, no one watching understood a single word.
All they knew was this:
Tony Stark succeeded.
How he did it didn't matter.All they needed to do was shout "666."
On screen—
Tony Stark staggered and collapsed into his chair."Shit!"
"Shit!"
Another voice echoed—it was Morgan Stark, who had somehow appeared nearby.
"Why are you up, little one?"Tony Stark asked affectionately.
"Shit!"
"No, we can't say that word. Only Mommy can say it. She invented it."
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Because I still have important business to do!"
After chatting, Tony Stark carried Morgan to bed and tucked her in.
"Tell me a story,"Morgan pleaded, like any child.
"Once upon a time… Maguna went to bed. The end."
Everyone watching felt speechless.
Only Tony Stark could tell a bedtime story like that.
Even Morgan couldn't help but complain:"That story was terrible."
"Hey, that's your favorite story,"Tony Stark argued.
"I love you three thousand!"
"Wow, three thousand—that's a lot,"Tony Stark said happily as he left.
Outside the room, Pepper was reading.
Tony Stark boasted,"Even though it's not a competition, she loves me three thousand. You're probably around six to nine hundred."
Pepper laughed.
"What are you reading?"Tony asked absentmindedly.
"A book about weight gain."
"Any new tricks?"
"Interesting science…"
"I've got it!"Tony Stark suddenly interrupted her, serious-faced.
"Are we even talking about the same thing?"Pepper asked, confused.
"Time travel!"Tony Stark said firmly.
