"Around twenty thousand or so!?"
Fini, of course, hadn't explicitly kept count while killing, so he only gave a rough estimate. Even so, Tony was visibly shaken.
"You were gone for a little over five months, and you killed twenty thousand aliens!?" Tony asked, his voice laced with shock and disbelief.
"Is there a problem with that?"
Tony stared blankly at Fini, whose expression remained entirely normal. After a worried sigh, Tony said, "I have a professional team of private doctors. Do you need me to have them check you out for any psychological issues!?"
"I'm not that fragile!"
Fini rolled his eyes. Honestly, if he had to talk about how he felt, he didn't really feel much. After all, those people had intended to kill him in the first place; he had simply killed them instead.
He was only worried that if things continued like this, he might lose his reverence for life and resort to slaughter to solve everything.
"It's not a question of fragility!"
Tony frowned. He didn't know how Fini had managed to kill so many aliens, but he felt that this situation could very likely affect Fini's personality.
"Don't worry, if I need help, I'll come to you!"
Fini knew Tony was just looking out for him, but he wasn't so bored that he needed to see a therapist. Thus, he changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I'm confident now that I can remove the shrapnel from your chest. Do you want some help?"
Tony, who had been planning to keep lecturing him, froze upon hearing this. "How are you going to get them out?"
"Anyway, I can get them out, that's all!"
Fini didn't offer a lengthy explanation, merely asking, "It'll be over very quickly. We can do it right here and now."
Hearing such unreliable words from Fini, a wave of suspicion flashed through Tony's eyes, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel immensely curious. "Is it dangerous?"
"Ninety-nine point nine percent safe, I'd say!"
Fini left that point one percent just in case of an accident.
Tony's curiosity grew even stronger, and he asked once more, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Seeing Tony stubbornly demanding an explanation, Fini sighed and began to unseal the Tyrant's Eye:
"Reality, burst! Mind, shatter! Vanish from this world!"
Golden light erupted from Fini's right eye. Before Tony's startled gaze, the surrounding dimension began to shift, and the scene transformed instantly.
"You have a new ability again?"
Looking at the drastically altered surroundings, Tony couldn't help but ask. He suddenly had the illusion that Fini's power level changed faster than he could update his armor.
"Yeah, you've got to gain something from a trip out, right?"
Fini replied with a smile, then said with a show-off expression, "Welcome to my world!"
Tony's expression turned slightly displeased. He had previously thought that cracking the magical jewelry would deal a blow to Fini, but in the blink of an eye, he was the one taking a hit.
However, this wasn't the first or second time he had been humbled by Fini. He quickly recovered, surveyed the surrounding space, and asked, "This is your world? Are we no longer on Earth?"
"You could say we're still on Earth, but this dimension belongs to me!"
Fini thought about it and explained. Activating the Tyrant's Eye on Earth was a special case; it integrated the power of the Earth dimension, so he couldn't really say they had left Earth entirely.
"Your dimension!?"
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tony carefully observed the surrounding environment, already plotting in his mind how he should update the 'Anti-Fini Armor' when he got back to counter this move.
"Everything here is under my control!"
Flexing in front of Tony brought a massive sense of accomplishment, so Fini decided to try something he had previously wanted to demonstrate to the marinated egg--Nick Fury. "Have you read the Bible?"
"What?"
Tony blanked, failing to react. But when he saw Fini's next move, he understood the meaning of those words instantly.
Under Fini's control, the space transformed into a chaotic, pitch-black scene. Everything around them vanished, leaving only a vast expanse of seawater on the ground. As the two floated above the water, Fini's voice slowly echoed throughout the space:
"I say, let there be light!"
Along with Fini's words, a golden light suddenly manifested, flooding the entire space.
"I say, let there be darkness!"
The light receded, and night enveloped them. Day and night alternated, mirroring God's creation of the world on the first day.
At this moment, Tony completely forgot about how to redesign the 'Anti-Fini Armor.' He watched the scene play out, his mouth hanging wide open in utter dumbfoundedness.
Fini did not stop his movements, continuing to recite:
"I say, let there be land, and let there be sky!"
The seawater vanished instantly. Solid earth appeared beneath their feet, and a bright blue sky emerged overhead.
"I say, let there be mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees!"
Since the size of the space was highly limited, Fini didn't go too overboard. The things he created were actually neither large nor numerous, but even so, it was still an incredibly spectacular sight.
"I say, let there be the sun, the moon, and the stars!"
A sun appeared in the sky, rising from the east and setting in the west. Then the moon emerged, accompanied by a scattering of starlight. Day contrasted with night, and the sun and moon alternated.
"I say, let there be animals!"
Rabbits, squirrels, and other small animals suddenly popped up from the grass on the ground. A few fish leaped out of the clear river, and several bird chirps echoed from the sky.
But at the very end, Fini didn't create humanity like God did. Instead, he suddenly appeared right in front of Tony and said with a grin, "I say, it's time to wake up! Stop spacing out. So, how about it? Pretty awesome, right!?"
Hearing Fini's voice, Tony, who had been staring at everything with a gaping mouth, snapped back to reality. The look he directed at Fini was filled with absolute disbelief.
Next, he rubbed his eyes as if trying to force himself to calm down. Then, with a hint of panic, he said, "Alright, you got me. This is all alien technology, right? Holographic projection technology!? Scene construction technology!?"
"Or maybe your magic is misleading my visual system, and I'm actually just imagining all of this myself, right?"
Seeing Tony's refusal to believe his eyes, Fini was somewhat speechless. He patted Tony on the shoulder and said, "Accept reality. These are all real. I created them!"
Tony froze in place, falling into a prolonged silence. The previous incident of reversing time had already shocked him beyond measure. How much time had passed since then? Fini was actually starting to create worlds now.
"Are you really human?"
Hearing Tony's question, Fini sighed and answered, "Maybe not in here, but once I leave this world, I am still human!"
"Then what about here?" Tony pressed.
"A Dimension Lord, a Demon God, or something like that. Actually, there's no problem calling me human either, it's just that I won't die of old age, I won't get sick, and my abilities are a bit stronger."
"..."
Tony looked at this newly born 'world' once again, at a loss for words. Suddenly, he felt that his 'Anti-Fini Armor' might never see the day of completion.
Seeing Tony looking deeply defeated, Fini couldn't help but feel amused deep down. On the surface, however, he offered words of comfort: "Alright, alright, I just got a little stronger, is that face really necessary?"
"You've stopped being human, and you call this getting 'a little stronger'!?" Tony blurted out a complaint. Although Fini had been powerful before, at the very least, Tony could see a glimmer of hope in catching up. It wasn't anything like this exaggerated nonsense.
At the very least, Tony couldn't fathom what kind of armor he would have to build to accomplish what Fini had just done.
"You're the one who stopped being human!" Fini shot back, thoroughly amused. He didn't continue the discussion on the matter and asked, "Do you need me to help you take the shrapnel out now?"
Since he could even create a world, removing a few pieces of shrapnel from a body was a walk in the park for Fini!
