A Zanpakutō at the beginning of Meiman

Chapter 257 I Love You

I am... Iron Man!

Saving the defenseless is a responsibility I must shoulder, and this is the belief entrusted to me by Ethan.

With the last ounce of faith, Tony held the bomb in his arms and chose to use his body to protect those unarmed people.

He will die.

Regarding this point, Tony is very clear in his heart, but he doesn't regret it, and even has a little bit of relief, maybe this is his fate!

This life saved by others will eventually be paid for saving others.

In fact.

From the first day he wore the Mark Armor, he had already prepared himself. One day in the future, he might sacrifice his life for something.

only...

What he didn't expect was that this day came too early and too suddenly, and he didn't even have time to tell Potts that he really loved her.

If it wasn't for the bomb and it was too close to the fleeing crowd, he would never have chosen to use such a method to prevent the bomb from exploding.

But unfortunately, he had no time to think, and had to make a decision within seconds.

According to Jarvis' analysis, the range of the explosion will spread to 20 meters around, and strong corrosive chemicals were detected inside.

Once the bomb goes off...

Its power will melt dozens of people into a pool of blood in an instant, including Pepper Potts.

He didn't want to see such a tragedy happen.

Pepper Potts is the only woman in his life who is willing to give his true love and give his life for it.

In those short seconds, Tony wanted to say a lot, but in the end he couldn't say it. He just cast a farewell and reluctant look at Potts through the steel mask.

Potts seemed to have a tacit understanding, feeling Tony's affectionate and reluctant eyes under the steel mask.

"No - Tony!!!"

Pepper Potts' pupils constricted violently, and he let out a desperate scream.

Rumbling--

The violent explosion sounded like thunder, and accompanied by a strong green light, it submerged the golden-red mecha like a salary bearer, setting off a huge wave of air.

Whoosh whoosh—

The black tiles of the main booth were shattered inch by inch, engulfed by this wave of air, and wanted to explode in all directions, like bullets hitting the air with whining noise.

Many people were hit by the flying gravel because they couldn't dodge in time, and a few blood holes appeared in their bodies instantly. They fell to the ground clutching their wounds and screamed.

The chemical substances gave off a pungent and strong corrosive smell, mixed with a strong smell of gunpowder, and dust lifted by the air waves, permeating the entire air, blocking everyone's sight.

Little Pepper Potts was lucky. Although he was very close to the center of the explosion, he was not seriously injured. He was only sent flying a few meters by the air wave, and his limbs were a little torn.

"Tony! Tony, where are you? Tony, answer me quickly!" Potts' eyes were red, and he stumbled into the smoke and dust, looking for the man like crazy.

The high heels that got in the way were thrown off a long time ago, and even the expensive dress worth one hundred thousand dollars was torn apart by Potts without hesitation, and he ran barefoot on the ground full of gravel.

"Tony!"

"Answer me, Tony, where are you?"

"Please...please, Tony, please don't worry."

There was thick smoke and dust all around, and the visibility was no more than one meter. However, even in such a harsh environment, Potts still did not give up searching.

The soles of the feet were scratched by the scattered gravel, leaving bright red footprints. Potts' hair was disheveled, and his dress was torn to pieces. He looked like a lunatic without the slightest demeanor of the Stark Group CEO.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Potts finally stopped. She saw a familiar golden red from the thick smoke.

"Tony!"

Potts was overjoyed immediately, pushed away the smoke and dust in front of him, got through the gaps in the collapsed ruins, stepped on the ground full of sharp rocks, and rushed there regardless of his demeanor.

however.

When Potts approached Tony, the happy expression on his face gradually disappeared.

Even though it was night and the temperature in summer was not too low, she could still clearly feel that her limbs and even her heart were cooling down bit by bit.

Tony buried his head deeply, knelt on the ground with his knees on the ground, his arms were staggered, and he held the bomb in his arms.

And that familiar golden-red mecha seemed to be picked up from a garbage dump, leaving only pieces of tattered armor that were deeply embedded in the man's flesh and blood.

blood...

A large amount of blood splashed around the man, and he suppressed the destructive power of the bomb to a minimum by holding him in this way.

"To...Tony..." Potts' mind went blank, only his instinctive reaction remained, and he approached the man a little bit with his frozen limbs.

come closer.

Potts finally couldn't bear it anymore, subconsciously covered his mouth, tears gushed out of his eyes like a bank, and his heart was throbbing like a spasm.

Withstanding the impact of the bomb at zero distance, the mecha that was supposed to protect Tony was shattered and deeply embedded in the body, and almost half of his body became bloody.

The energy lamp that symbolized Tony's life also became flickering at this moment, as if to herald to her that the life of the man in front of her was about to come to an end.

"No...no!" Potts burst into grief, hugging Tony and crying loudly: "Tony, please, don't leave me, wake up quickly, okay?!"

"Po... ts..."

Tony opened his eyes, looked at the blurred figure in front of him, and forced a smile on the corners of his chapped, hematomatous lips: "It's...ok...you...you're fine... …”

"No, no, no... Tony, don't die, please, don't die!" Potts cried bitterly while hugging Tony, begging him not to die.

Potts, who has never had any faith, is praying for a miracle at this time.

"God, Jesus, Christ, I beg you, please save him..." Potts hugged Tony tightly, feeling the man's weaker and weaker breathing, tears soaked Full cheek: "He is a good man, he saved many lives, please save him, no matter who it is... Please..."

"I love you......"

When Tony's consciousness gradually became darker, his dry lips squirmed slightly, and he said this sentence in Pepper Potts' ear.

pat...  

The hand fell down feebly.

Tony closed his eyes and his heart stopped completely.

There is no doubt that he died.

"Do not!!!"

Potts was sobbing, holding Tony and crying loudly, feeling as if his heart had been torn in half at this moment.

This was the first time that Tony Stark said the words "I love you" to her personally, but it was also the last time.

The self-centered, cocky playboy who gave his life to protect the defenseless!

...

...

...

Tony Stark is dead.

But what died was only the 'body', and he reappeared beside him in the form of a 'soul'.

"I... am I already dead?"

Tony, who appeared in the form of a soul, looked at the familiar environment around him in a daze, and Potts who was crying bitterly while hugging his... dead body.
