He had been perfectly fine in his dormitory, looking at himself in the mirror, when the mirror had somehow turned black and, perhaps out of jealousy over his handsome appearance, swallowed him whole.
He had then arrived in a bizarre space, where he had finally encountered a red figure that looked somewhat human.
That figure had created an exit, and Sean had followed him through it.
And now he had arrived in the Marvel world?
Or was this merely the world of Iron Man?
Sean felt like his brain wasn’t working fast enough.
Everything had happened far too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he had gone from his dormitory through a tunnel and followed a red…
Holy crap!
That red figure wasn’t just some random person.
It was one of Marvel’s two greatest mouthpieces, Deadpool, Wade Wilson!
He was one of the most broken characters in Marvel.
He had slaughtered characters from the Marvel Universe and even other famous works.
He had broken the fourth wall and even chatted with Marvel’s writers.
Could that strange space just now have been the fourth wall?
That was impossible.
The reality Deadpool could break through was merely Earth-1218.
It had absolutely nothing to do with the real world, and the Marvel writers there couldn’t possibly have a conversation about life with Deadpool.
After letting his thoughts run wild for a while, Sean finally came back to his senses.
Tony was still talking with that voice, which should be JARVIS, discussing the wonderful intricacies of the English language.
Feeling as though his existence had been completely ignored, Sean immediately decided to remind them that he was still there.
“Heh heh, buddy, there’s still someone else here. ”
Tony and JARVIS’s conversation was interrupted by Sean.Tony finally remembered that there was a bald Asian man beside him, and he still didn’t know whether anything had actually happened between them.
He quickly told JARVIS to translate.
“Hey! Baldy, answer me quickly. After I got drunk last night, did I do anything with you?!”
“No, no, no! I only got here just now. We didn’t touch each other at all! Not even a little! And don’t call me Baldy!”
“Just now?
I sobered up ages ago.
If I’m not mistaken, this is my house.
This should be my room, and the place you’re standing on should be my bed.
Understand?
My bed!
Unless you can give me a proper explanation, I can accuse you of attempted rape.
”
Hearing that nothing had happened between him and Sean, Tony’s tense nerves relaxed.
He let out a breath and cautiously watched the bald Asian man who had suddenly appeared in his room.
His legs were tense, and his right hand was slightly raised, ready to order JARVIS to attack or flee backwards at any moment.
Tony had already been attacked by assassins sent by his business rivals several times.
He had long since developed the habit of being prepared to run for his life.
JARVIS had also secretly informed Tony’s bodyguard, Hogan.
“Actually, I was on a plane, and then the plane had an accident. I accidentally… ”
Seeing Tony’s expression that clearly said,
“Are you messing with me?” and noticing him slowly moving towards the bedroom door, Sean knew that this sort of excuse wouldn’t fool the genius-level Iron Man.
He had no choice but to bluff him again, mixing half-truths with lies.
“Fine, I’ll tell you the truth.
Actually, I’m not from this world.
That’s right, I’m not from this world.
I’m not some alien life-form from outside Earth, either.
I’m from a parallel universe.
You know what that means, right?
There’s also an Earth in our world.
It’s basically the same as this one, except some things are different.
”
Some things?
That was putting it mildly.
This entire world was fictional, and some places had even been copied directly from locations on Earth.
But Sean didn’t dare say that aloud.He could clearly sense that this world was real, and the Iron Man standing in front of him was flesh and blood.
Besides, if he suddenly told someone that they were a comic-book character, wouldn’t that drive them completely insane?
Deadpool was an exception.
Well, that guy was already a little mentally ill.
Come to think of it, when Deadpool slaughtered his way through the Marvel Universe, Professor X had looked into Deadpool’s mind and discovered that he was a comic-book character.
Unable to handle the truth, Professor X had suffered a mental breakdown and ended up brain-dead and in a vegetative state.
Would that happen here too…?
Sean really could let his imagination run wild at any time.
He paid no attention to Tony’s astonished expression.
“Parallel universe? What can you use to prove that? And how did you get here? What did you come here for?”
Tony was only half-convinced by Sean.
This person had suddenly appeared inside his room without leaving behind the slightest trace of damage.
According to JARVIS, during the period when Sean Shan appeared, JARVIS had actually been completely blocked.
JARVIS wasn’t merely a computer.
It was a super-intelligent program capable of independently transferring itself to any digital terminal.
During the period of Sean Shan’s appearance, a strange magnetic field had appeared inside Tony’s room.
Everything, including the surveillance systems and even JARVIS, had been completely cut off.
There wasn’t even a record of how Sean had appeared.
That was why Tony believed Sean’s explanation to some extent.
If travelling through space really affected magnetic fields, then his theory wasn’t impossible.
“Hmm? I can’t prove it, but I can explain how I got here. In my world, I went through extremely terrifying training. Through incredible perseverance, I developed godlike strength, broke through the limits of the entire world, and became the strongest person alive. ”
“Unfortunately, the will of the world wouldn’t allow me to exist. My world’s overall level of power was relatively low, and its technology wasn’t nearly as advanced as this place. Thereweren’t many creatures on other planets that could even evolve to the level of humans, let alone beings that surpassed humanity. ”
“So I was sucked into an infinite black hole. I used all my strength to tear open space and came here. You can test my strength if you want. ”
Using all the experience he had accumulated from reading countless novels and relying on skin thicker than a city wall, Sean fabricated a half-true story.
And surprisingly, aside from the parts where he had exaggerated his training and shamelessly praised himself hundreds of times over, the rest wasn’t far from the truth.
He really had accidentally broken through the human limiter, and the will of the universe really had rejected his existence.
Tony would have to be an idiot to believe such an exaggerated, shameless story completely.
Nevertheless, he ordered JARVIS to withdraw the attack command and told Hogan to stand down.
Judging from Sean’s current appearance, he didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking.
And his story couldn’t simply be dismissed as complete nonsense.
At the very least, there was no way to explain his sudden appearance or why JARVIS had been completely blocked.
“Come with me to the basement. I’m a little interested in this so-called parallel universe now. ”
Tony wanted to take Sean to the basement where he tested small-scale weapons.
He wanted to see whether this so-called strongest man from another world was actually the real deal or just a complete lunatic.
“No need. We can just go outside to the seaside. Heh heh. ”
As for Tony’s proposed test, Sean had already guessed what it would involve.
Tony would probably bring out some of the tougher materials in this world and have him hit them.
At most, he might even bring out a piece of Adamantium.
But none of those things could possibly withstand a single punch from Sean.
He had already thought of a much better way to prove his strength.
A confident smile appeared on his face.
