Marvel: Devour to Evolve From Naruto

-----

-----

The world spun around him.

In the next instant, Ron found himself in an unfamiliar place.

It looked like a wilderness.

The sun hung high in the sky.

Beneath his feet was grass.

Lush forests stretched out in the distance.

He could see a few figures moving around.

His sudden appearance caught their attention.

They started approaching him.

That was all the information he had.

Ron couldn't determine which world this was.

But since there were people here, he could ask.

Of course, he didn't let his guard down.

He quickly checked—

He could return to his personal space at any time.

Instantly, he felt relieved.

As long as he could go back anytime, he was absolutely safe.

As the figures got closer, Ron frowned.

Refugees?

Ancient times?

What kind of world was this? What kind of power could he gain here?

Was it some kind of martial arts world?

Nine Yang Divine Skill? Great Heaven Shift?

The refugees walked up to him.

Seeing Ron's outfit, their faces showed obvious fear.

They didn't even dare to look him in the eyes.

But then, they exchanged glances.

Scanning the area.

...

Realizing Ron was alone.

Their fear quickly turned into hostility.

Ron took note of all this.

It was his first time traveling to another world, so he lacked experience.

He should've brought a couple of "Truths" with him—preferably the kind made of metal and

filled with bullets.

But since he could go back anytime, there was no real problem.

He decided to gather some information first.

"Where is this?" he asked.

.... The silence filled tha place for a while ...

"....."

One of them, seemingly the leader, stared at him greedily.

He rattled off a long string of words.

Ron didn't understand a single one.

But the language felt oddly familiar.

He just couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Language barrier.

Looked like he needed a translator.

And maybe a nice, big "Truth" to help with negotiations.

Ron glanced at the refugees eyeing him up and down.

Then he disappeared.

Back to his personal space.

A moment later, he reappeared in the villa.

"Ron!"

Before he could react, a loud voice rang out.

A figure lunged at him.

Ron quickly took two steps back.

"Where did you just go?!"

"Did someone take you?!"

Tony rushed up to him, his face filled with urgency.

"..."

After a brief pause, Tony stared at him in shock.

"You're saying... you suddenly awakened superpowers?"

"Like a mutant?"

"Your ability is... traveling to another world?"

He studied Ron closely, trying to see if he was being controlled.

But no matter how he looked, everything seemed normal.

Ron nodded.

"Yeah."

"I just went to another world."

"I met some people there."

"They wanted to hurt me, so I came back."

A cold glint flashed in Tony's eyes.

"They tried to hurt you?"

"Can your ability take me with you?"

"I'll handle them for you!"

Tony was a superhero, but he wasn't soft-hearted.

Just look at when he first became Iron Man—

He went to the Middle East and took out a ton of terrorists to avenge Yinsen.

Without hesitation.

Now, someone had threatened Ron's life.

As far as Tony was concerned, that was a death sentence.

Ron shook his head.

"Nope."

"Maybe in the future, but not right now."

He had tried just now. It wasn't possible.

Tony fell into deep thought.

"Alright, wait here. I'll get you something for self-defense."

With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Into the lab.

"Jarvis, did you detect anything unusual?"

"Sir, everything is normal. No issues detected."

Tony let out a sigh of relief.

He loved his little brother, but only Ron.

If someone had taken Ron away, replaced him, or controlled him—

He wouldn't hesitate to deploy the Iron Legion.

Or call in the Avengers.

But since Ron was fine—

That meant what he said was true?

He really traveled to another world?

****!

A new world!

A world that belonged solely to Ron!

That meant an entire world's worth of resources!

If others found out and wanted in, Ron could become the spark that ignites World War III!

No way—

No one else could ever know!

Good thing he had already sent the twins away after Ron vanished.

Now, it was just the two of them in the villa.

"Jarvis, bring me the custom suit I made for Ron."

"My little brother needs some extra firepower."

Half an hour later—

"This... this is what you call 'self-defense'?"

Ron stared at the Iron Man suit assembling itself with a 'clack clack clack.'

Speechless, yet undeniably excited.

Damn!

An Iron Man suit!

What man wouldn't want this?

In ancient times, just one of these could wipe out an entire kingdom!

Seeing the excitement on Ron's face, Tony couldn't help but smirk proudly.

"Ron, I modified this suit for you."

"In case you end up somewhere Jarvis can't access, I installed an independent AI."

"I also programmed it to only respond to your voice."

"You're the only one who can control it."

"Now go get your revenge. Never show mercy to those who try to hurt you."
