Chapter 10: How about a burger, or are you still riding the Jeep?Watching Tony stall in mid-air before falling.
Ah~~~
Lucifer sighed, then flew down, grabbing the armor parts on Tony's back and slowly descending.
If he had fallen from a height of several hundred meters.
Even if Tony were lucky, he'd be dead for sure.
Recovering from the state of terror, until his feet touched the soft desert sand.
Tony's legs gave way, and he knelt directly in the sand.
After a brief pause.
Tony removed the remaining Mark I parts from his body.
Then, gasping for breath, he said, 'Thanks, angel, what's your name? I'll treat you to my favorite burger someday.'
.....
Who saved you for a burger?
After another pause, Tony changed from kneeling to sitting.
Then, swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva from thirst, he glanced at Lucifer standing beside him and asked:
'How did you get so handsome? Are all angels that good-looking?'
Flattery will get you everywhere.
Hearing Tony speak the truth.
Lucifer looked at Tony, nodded slightly, and said, 'That's right, no one can compare to an angel.'
Upon hearing this, Tony.
First nodded in agreement.
Then suddenly asked, 'Do you have any water? I'm dying of thirst, although I have some reserves in my bladder, but I don't recommend using it directly.'
.....
Hearing Tony's typical remark.
Lucifer looked in a certain direction and said, 'In a few minutes, the transport helicopter will arrive. The military wouldn't be unaware of such a large explosion.'
Hearing that someone was coming to rescue him in the vast desert.
Tony immediately looked in the direction Lucifer was staring.
But due to his poor eyesight, he couldn't see anything.
Shielding himself from the scorching sun, Tony decided to wait.
He was willing to trust the angel's words.
A few minutes later.
Sure enough, a transport helicopter came flying over with a loud roar.
Confirming it was Tony's military friend, Colonel Rhodes.
'Alright, I'm off, see you in the US.'
Lucifer left with a word and flew away directly.
Ptooey! Ptooey~ Ptooey~
Spitting out the sand kicked up by Lucifer's wings.
Tony shouted at the already disappeared Lucifer, 'Where do we meet!? You didn't even tell me where you live yet!?'
Where does he live? If Lucifer heard Tony's words, he'd ask himself the same question.
He doesn't even have a home.
Where could he live?
But Lucifer was already preparing.
The Eye of Insight could have other uses.
For example, the information-gathering ability of the Eye of Insight + his own body's brain with unbeatable learning capabilities.
That would be like a computer, no, even more powerful than a computer's learning ability.
Scan, record, learn.
What in modern technology couldn't be learned?
Back to Tony.
As the transport helicopter slowly landed in front of Tony.
Colonel Rhodes rushed out the moment the hatch opened, half-kneeling in front of Tony to check on him.
'How are you! Are you injured!?'
'I'm fine, Rhodes.' Tony placed a hand on Rhodes' shoulder: 'An angel saved me, otherwise, what you'd see now would be a pile of minced meat.'
Saying this, Tony pointed to the sky, mimicking the crash posture with his hands, making a whooshing sound with his mouth.
Rhodes furrowed his brow, reaching out to touch Tony's head.
Has this kid gone crazy?
Smack!
A slap knocked Rhodes' hand away.
Tony got up, his expression slightly serious: 'Time to go back, there's a lot to deal with.'
Sensing Tony's seriousness.
Rhodes also confirmed his brain was fine.
'Let's go, still want to ride your own Jeep?'
'Get lost!'
.....
Scene shifts back to Lucifer.
Half an hour later.
Lucifer had flown from Afghanistan to the skies above New York.
Then he retracted his wings, found a large library, and walked in.
Picking up a few books at random.
Lucifer found a seat and sat down.
Although he didn't need books, using the Eye of Insight could collect all the library's materials.
But learning everything takes time, so keeping up appearances was necessary.
Time passed for several hours.
The large library grew more and more crowded.
Lucifer noticed that other seats were occupied, but only his six-person table remained empty.
Don't they want to sit with me?
No, not that.
They all felt unworthy to sit with Lucifer.
If this were on the street, someone would probably come over to chat.
But in this library, the people here were evidently polite, knowing not to bother others.
Closing the book in his hands.
Lucifer returned the books.
Now, the entire library's materials had been collected by his Eye of Insight.
If it weren't for learning too slowly, the Eye of Insight could have analyzed the materials in an instant.
No need to analyze and learn simultaneously.
Perhaps in the future, an angel civilization database could be created.
That would be much more convenient.
But if others knew Lucifer's current thoughts, they'd probably be furious.
Learning an entire library in a few hours, what more do you want!?
Meanwhile, Tony had returned home.
And announced a press conference at Stark Tower in two days.
This was already quite urgent, as some of his wounds hadn't healed yet."
