I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 298 Information Across Time and Space

As Otto finished speaking, Tony raised an eyebrow, already having some guesses in his mind.

The fact that these keywords can be linked together means that the contents of this USB drive are related to his father, Howard Stark.

Although Tony now knows that Obadiah, who instigated the conflict between him and his father, was a fake who had been replaced by the Skrulls.

But during that period, the imposter's attempts to sow discord were undoubtedly successful. The interactions between this genius father and son often ended in a bitter argument and a bitter breakup.

Therefore, fearing that the USB drive contained nothing but his father's scolding, Tony, feeling somewhat guilty upon learning the truth, did not immediately reach for it.

It wasn't until he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Obadiah that he received a slight nod of support from the other party.

Tony then took a deep breath, took the USB drive, and plugged it into the computer.

Then, with a few clicks of the mouse, as the screen changed, a younger version of Howard Stark, who looked almost the same age as Tony Stark, appeared on the computer screen.

"Tony, Riley was right before he left... You're still young, and at that age when you're full of youthful vigor. Once you're swayed by others, no matter how much I say, you won't listen. So I've decided to record this and leave it for you when you grow up."

"First of all, I built this architectural model of the exhibition as a gift for you. One day you will discover that it is not only a stage to showcase people's scientific minds, but also the culmination of my life's work."

"This is the key to unlocking a new era, though I am unable to manufacture it due to the limitations of my current time. But I believe that one day you will be able to solve the mystery I left behind and discover this treasure. At that time, you will possess the power to change the world."

"Finally...you might not believe it, but I must emphasize this point."

"My greatest creation, from beginning to end, is you, Tony, my most beloved child."

As the video played, Howard Stark's voice began to echo throughout the office.

That was a familiar voice that Tony himself had almost forgotten.

At the end, the deep love from his father made Tony's breath catch in his throat.

He never imagined that his father, who was always busy with work, made things difficult for him, and seemed particularly strict and cold, would send him a greeting that transcended time and space in this way.

Otto, who had remained silent throughout, reached into his briefcase again after the video finished playing. After rummaging around for a bit, he pulled out a new type of reactor, similar in shape to Tony's arc reactor, but with almost no heat radiation, and handed it to Tony.

"This is……"

Based on his father's words, Tony had already guessed what was going on.

But when Tony saw the gift his father left behind, truly appearing before his eyes, even he, who prided himself on having seen it all, couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his voice.

"Riley asked me to give this to you. He solved the mystery your father left behind before you did... Also, he told you not to blame him for ruining the surprise your father left behind. After all, the new element your father discovered can solve the palladium poisoning problem associated with the reactor you're currently using. It was preparation work done in advance to save your life."

"...Those two old guys just love to pull off big things behind my back..."

Looking at the new reactor before him, its construction and energy stability made Tony's current Arc Reactor seem like an unfinished, half-finished product. This clearly demonstrated the immense effort poured into its development.

Riley: Of course! After all, this is the last reactor that you, in a parallel universe, poured your life's blood into developing!

Tony remained silent for a long time, constantly stroking and playing with the new version of the reactor in his hands.

Turning back, I continued to slide the mouse and opened the extra blueprint for the new element on the USB drive, along with the entire decryption process.

Finally, Tony slowly exhaled, a complex smile appearing on his face, and muttered to himself.

"I never imagined that even after nearly twenty years, you would still be trying to teach me new things..."

"Thanks, Dad, Riley..."
