Chapter 130 Bertrand Russell in Poverty
With Tony and Steve working together, little Bucky was easily taken care of.
"Tony, how did you become so amazing?"
On the vehicle transporting Bucky and the other Winter Soldier back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Steve asked curiously.
Tony wasn't wearing his suit during the recent battle.
He fought bare-handed the entire time, and together with him, he captured Bucky.
This was completely unexpected by Steve.
Tony said in a serious tone:
"Every day, I do 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, and 100 squats, plus a 10-kilometer run."
"Believe me, Steve, if you just keep going, you'll experience a qualitative change."
Steve's face darkened; he naturally didn't believe Tony's nonsense.
Since using the gene serum, he transformed from a weak boy with congenital deficiencies into a super soldier, and he became a fitness fanatic.
His daily training volume is many times higher than this, but I haven't seen any qualitative change in him.
After a while, Tony added:
"Of course, we'll also need a little other help, like magical energy."
Steve shook his head helplessly, no longer listening to Tony's nonsense, and looked at Bucky with concern.
After the battle, Tony explained to him in detail Bucky's current situation.
"Tony, do you think Bucky can recover?"
"of course can."
Tony replied to Steve without hesitation and explained.
"Even a soul that has become confused and disoriented after entering hell can recover if it is properly nurtured. Let alone a mere brainwashing."
Steve nodded, relieved.
Hell and such were a bit too advanced a topic for him.
But Tony understood what he meant—Bucky could recover.
"Furthermore, I need him to tell me, after he regains his memory, who ordered him to kill my parents."
Tony's voice suddenly rang out again, making Steve's heart jump once more.
"Bucky killed Tony's parents?!"
Steve's voice was filled with disbelief.
He looked at Tony, who was sitting calmly beside him, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"I know you want to ask what happened."
“In 1991, Pakistan attacked my parents and staged it as a car accident.”
“I also know that you want to say that Bucky was being controlled and had no choice in the matter, and that it wasn’t his intention.”
Tony asked and answered his own question.
Steve nodded:
"Tony, your father Howard, Bucky, and I were all friends and comrades during World War II."
“If Bucky had been sober at that time, he would never have hurt your parents.”
Tony shook his head.
For Steve, World War II had just been held a little over a year prior, so the bond of camaraderie was naturally deep.
But for Bucky and Howard, the war had ended forty or fifty years before the incident.
After such a long period of no contact, it's questionable how much of the camaraderie from back then remains.
“Steve, I assure you. I will not harm him until Sergeant Barnes recovers.”
"But if he was conscious when he killed my parents when he woke up, don't blame me."
Tony's voice was flat.
He is very calm now.
Faced with the composed Tony, Steve couldn't find any reason to refute him.
Tony's seaside villa in California.
"Tony, do you want my help to quickly restore Sergeant Barnes?"
The speaker was Bertrand Russell.
At this point, two hours had passed since Steve and Tony captured Bucky.
The two, unable to wait any longer, took Bucky away and returned to Tony's residence. Originally, Tony intended to nurture Bucky's soul with his own mental energy.
But coincidentally, Russell, who had just returned from the Blood Dimension, came looking for Tony as soon as he heard that Tony had finished his work temporarily.
then
"No, Russell. If you help Barnes recover, I can save time and get to the debugging of the cloning equipment sooner."
Ultimately, you'll be the one who benefits.
Tony corrected Russell's statement.
Theoretically speaking, this was a division of labor and cooperation, not Russell helping him.
"Okay, no problem."
Russell didn't care about such minor details.
Russell flicked his finger, and a burst of shimmering white energy shot out, entering Bucky's body and quickly purifying his soul.
Although Russell is now an energy pauper again.
However, we can still get a few units of attribute points.
During this trip to the Blood Dimension, he extracted 20 billion units of energy and forced the Blood God to sign a series of unilateral equal treaties.
One of these measures was to donate tens of millions of units of energy each year as a gift to maintain a friendly relationship with Russell.
This number is less than Russell expected.
But after the Blood God's explanation, Russell roughly understood.
The primary energy source of the Hell dimension, and also the incidental energy within the soul.
This refers to the energy absorbed during the first stage of the Russell panel.
Most of the dead souls wander within the universe, heading towards the underworld constructed by the deity they worship.
Only souls without faith, guided by nature, will travel to hell through some mysterious transit point.
The number of hell dimensions far exceeds that of the real universe.
Typically, a hell dimension can only contain the souls of a few or a dozen planets.
This is why countless hell lords have tried to invade the real dimension through dimensional nodes.
Then they make a fortune, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
For example, a handsome guy in a dark dimension.
While waiting for Bucky to regain his senses, Russell had a sudden thought and opened the attribute panel.
【Attribute Points:】
[Divine Body: 1803]
Well, achieving a divine body is still a long way off; we need to work even harder to earn energy.
Speaking of earning energy, Russell happened to have a business tycoon by his side.
"Tony, how do I earn energy?"
"Hmm, what do you mean?"
Tony was puzzled.
"Isn't energy something that mages draw from the multiverse day after day, year after year, and then accumulate?"
"Or, borrowing from magical entities in outer dimensions."
“Tony, did you earn this huge Stark Industries empire by working for others?” Russell gave an example.
"Russell, the business model of ordinary people is logically different from the business model of mages and magical entities."
"Tell me first how you collect energy now."
"Analyze specific problems in specific ways."
After hearing Russell's analogy, Tony also became interested.
Of course, I'm not interested in earning money, but in earning energy.
"Yes, there are several ways."
"The most important thing is to find a dimensional demon god, and then find a way to extort money from him."
"A typical time it can earn several hundred million units of energy."
"The secondary method is to convert physical energy in the universe into magical energy."
"Or absorb the incidental energy from the dead souls."
"This method can typically collect tens of thousands of units of energy per day."
