Ch: 16-21
Chapter 16 Chapter 16
The Engineer's face was full of pride. As the Allies' ace land combat equipment against the Soviet Union, the Apocalypse's mass production was limited precisely because of its high cost.
"The price is reasonable. Initiate mass production immediately, with an initial batch of three hundred sets."
Wang Haoyu suddenly turned to two Female Soldiers dressed in custom uniforms: "I hear there are indigenous resistance forces on this Planet?"
"Reporting, Commander! With the expansion of our Base, our control zone has extended to the resource collection boundary."
"Yesterday, several Time-Space Mining Vehicles were attacked. Reconnaissance confirmed it was done by a primitive tribe that had just entered the Stone Age."
In the eyes of the Red Alert Legion, these un-civilized humanoids were no different from wild Beasts. Just as ancient slaves were not considered citizens, they were merely resource obstacles to be dealt with.
"Execute the eviction plan, and simultaneously capture samples for research to explore their maximum utilization rate."
After a brief thought, Wang Haoyu made a decision regarding the fate of these primitives.
In his eyes, if these primitives had any value for use,
or could be trained into Tyrant Warriors,
he would immediately abandon the resources of the Marvel Universe!
No hesitation needed!
There was no need to accuse Wang Haoyu of being cold-blooded and ruthless,
in his opinion, primitives could not even be called human.
This was indeed the case.
Since he could treat the creatures of the Marvel Universe as experimental subjects,
why would he care about domesticating these primitives into controllable biochemical weapons?
"Understood, Officer!"
The two sisters, understanding Wang Haoyu's unspoken meaning, turned and began to deploy.
After handling all matters,
Wang Haoyu went directly to another location.
As the construction and recruitment plans continued to advance,
Red Alert Planet had been divided into multiple functional urban areas.
The Control Base Area was the core of the entire region,
with various research facilities distributed around it.
The other areas were:
the Production Recruitment Area, Barracks Area, Resource Area, and Vehicle Area.
The Biochemical Base was isolated on a nearby island.
At this moment, Wang Haoyu's goal was clear—
the Vehicle Area.
"Extract!"
He unhesitatingly took out
the Eighty-First Order Allspark Cube.
Looking at the neatly arranged
Multipurpose Infantry Vehicles,
Helicopter Hangars,
Invader Fighter Hangars, and other equipment before him,
Wang Haoyu felt an infinite surge of ambition.
If all this equipment could be transformed into Transformers,
what immense combat power would he possess!
"Is my thunderstorm still being kept?"
Wang Haoyu suddenly remembered his
almost scrapped exclusive vehicle.
Although it was accidentally damaged,
after repairs by Red Alert Planet... "It has been fully repaired!"
"Send it over immediately!"
With the combined efforts of the Co-Brilliance Soldiers,
the thunderstorm soon appeared before him.
Wang Haoyu drew a cluster of energy sparks from the Allspark,
and injected them into the interior of the war vehicle.
With the clicking sound of machinery operating,
the transformation sequence officially began.
---
Alice, Xu Mu, and the others immediately stepped forward upon hearing these sounds, shielding Wang Haoyu completely!
With a violent tremor, lightning and storm intertwined, and a five-meter-tall Transformer suddenly appeared before Wang Haoyu!
Its entire body gleamed with metallic luster, blue and gold intertwined, and its mechanical structure was full of power, making Wang Haoyu's blood boil!
"Silicon-based lifeform—thunderstorm, greetings, Leader!" After completing its transformation, thunderstorm knelt on one knee, respectfully saluting Wang Haoyu.
"So cool!"
Witnessing the birth of this Transformer, Wang Haoyu suddenly felt an urge to disassemble and study it, but then he reined it in—after all, it was his former vehicle, and directly dismantling it would be inappropriate.
"Very good!"
Wang Haoyu looked at the thunderstorm's appearance with satisfaction. What man hasn't dreamed of owning a Transformer? And now, he not only owned one, but he would also assemble a Transformers Legion! Thinking of the red alert vehicles after being modified by the Allspark, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but feel his heart surge—this legion might only be second to the Co-Brilliance Soldiers enhanced by ability crystals!
"Thank you for your approval, Leader!" thunderstorm looked up, and an impassioned request came from its loudspeaker: "Leader, may I continue to follow you? I have been reborn! I am willing to defend your glory with my life!"
This vow seemed to carry the obsession of the Ivan Vanko incident, but Wang Haoyu clearly felt its boiling loyalty.
"Granted. From today onwards, you return to my command, and will still be my exclusive vehicle."
Wang Haoyu nodded in agreement. thunderstorm was overjoyed, instantly transforming back into a blue and gold sports car, waiting faithfully by his side like a loyal guard.
"By the way, have these vehicles been modified?"
The Engineer Wang Haoyu suddenly pulled over the Female Soldier next to him and sternly questioned her.
If modified armored vehicles undergo Allspark conversion, their efficiency far exceeds that of unmodified ordinary models!
"Reporting, Commander! These steel Beasts have all been fully upgraded with the cutting-edge technology of the Marvel Universe!"
"All combat platforms, including the new infantry fighting vehicles, have undergone performance enhancements! The stealth fighters and attack helicopters in the hangar have also completed modern modifications, only the Time-Space Mining Vehicles have not yet been altered due to a lack of reference samples!"
As the Female Soldier stood upright and reported, the military emblem on her chest gleamed under the lights.
"Very good, immediately synchronize the modification blueprints to all production workshops. From now on, all equipment rolled off the line must adopt the new standards!"
Wang Haoyu's gaze remained fixed on the steel behemoths, completely disregarding the valiant Female Soldier before him.
In his eyes, these War Machines, soon to gain life, were far more attractive than any charming face.
As the Allspark energy matrix activated, the entire hangar shook violently.
Mechanical lifeforms ranging from five to ten meters in height successively awakened, the friction of metal joints sounding like thunderous roars. These newborn Cybertronian warriors marched with clanging steps, kneeling in unison before Wang Haoyu.
"Steel Infantry Legion!"
"All-Terrain Combat Vehicle Squadron!"
"Aerial Assault Helicopter Fleet!"
"Stealth Fighter Combat Wing!"
"Greetings to the Creator!"
Deafening electronic synthetic sounds echoed throughout the Base, a sound wave comparable to ten-thousand-ton audio equipment, making eardrums ache.
Wang Haoyu surveyed his mechanical army with satisfaction: "Effective immediately, the Transformerscombat sequence is formally established!"
"Combat units of all types are formed into an army, adopting the modern military structure of red alert."
"Commanders of all types will jointly form the Legion Council, collectively exercising the authority of Deputy Commanders. Are there any questions?"
Adopting a mature military management system was clearly the most efficient choice.
"Understood, Supreme Commander!"
A unified response came from the steel torrent, and hundreds of optical sensors simultaneously flashed crimson light.
They were essentially mechanical soldiers born for combat!
"You all will move to a different stationed location later."
Wang Haoyu waved his hand, signaling the hundreds of Transformers to leave the Vehicle Area. These mechanical bodies were not suitable for staying here; there was already friction between different troop types, and vehicles were no exception.
Infantry were mocked as bumpkins, air forces were nicknamed little sparrows, and the navy was called sea turtles.
Even after transforming into Transformers, they inherently continued this "tradition." Rather than being annoyed, it was better to just send them all out!
"Understood, Commander!"
The Transformers, receiving the order, quickly reverted to vehicle form and successively drove out of the area, preparing to find new station.
"As for the Time-Space Mining Vehicles..."
Wang Haoyu considered for a moment, then decided to activate all of them with the Allspark. However, the energy consumed by over three hundred mining vehicles equipped with Time-Space technology far exceeded expectations, being ten times that of ordinary Transformers!
The Allspark Cube, originally charged to the eighty-first order, visibly decreased in energy.
"Dismiss."
He waved his hand again, dismissing the assembled Time-Space Mining Vehicles. If the previous Transformers were combat units, these mining vehicles were thoroughly logistical troops—and armed mining vehicles were logistical units that could fight back.
"Later, disassemble a few Time-Space Mining Vehicles and focus on researching teleportation technology. Even if we lose one or two mining areas, it doesn't matter."
Ever since meeting the Sorcerer Ancient One, Wang Haoyu had felt a sense of urgency. The Loki invasion incident was like a ticking clock, reminding him that Thanos was about to arrive.
He had to strengthen his forces before Loki's invasion, both to demonstrate Umbrella's strength to the World and to show its prowess in the Universe.
Upon returning to the Hive Base, Wang Haoyu immediately immersed himself in new project development. Meanwhile, Mary Jane's carefully orchestrated "chance encounters" at headquarters all failed without exception.
(
Natasha, who had wanted to talk to Wang Haoyu a few days ago, also got the cold shoulder.
A month had passed in the blink of an eye.
This outing was due to an invitation from Tony Stark.
"Why did you call me here?"
Wang Haoyu, driving his modified arctic silver fox sports car, looked at Tony in confusion. The two began drag racing on the bustling highway.
In this month, Wang Haoyu had developed many tech-magic equipments. It was the birth of these equipments that gradually put Xu Mu Five and Alice at ease about him. Xu Mu and the others were now permanent residents at Umbrella headquarters, while Alice served as the group's Security Minister, overseeing the security forces of all global branches. If she wished, she could summon nearly ten thousand ability users at any time.
But these were not the main points.
The main point was that Tony said he wanted to show Wang Haoyu something new?
Wait, the current situation confused me—what kind of scene haven't I seen yet? With curiosity, Wang Haoyu followed Tony to a secluded building.
Seeing the emblem at the entrance, Wang Haoyu suddenly understood.
He was indeed here to "see the World."
"So what exactly are we doing here?" After getting out of the car, Wang Haoyu followed Tony inside. Their sports cars automatically drove to the parking lot, requiring no concern.
"Let's just say, although I really dislike this organization, they can get some rare materials," Tonyexplained hesitantly.
"You hate it, but you still come?" Wang Haoyu observed the busy lobby. This place seemed like a neglected government office, but in reality, people came and went constantly. After all, this was the place global criminals most wanted to destroy—S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
"Haven't you been developing equipment?" Tony, exposed, turned his head away, his voice drifting as he changed the subject.
"Alright, let's go!"
A glint of excitement flashed in Wang Haoyu's eyes.
One must know, the Marvel Universe contained countless rare metals, all of which were treasures he had yet to discover!
Even more exaggerated, this World was practically cheating, completely scrambling his familiar periodic table of elements!
What an outrageous World!
"Welcome, both of you, to the Strategic Homeland Defense..."
Before Coulson could finish, Wang Haoyu impatiently waved his hand.
"Alright, stop reciting your tongue-twisting full name, isn't it just S.H.I.E.L.D.? Get to the point."
While dealing with him, he secretly observed this mysterious organization.
In fact, long ago, Wang Haoyu had arranged for many people to infiltrate various places around the globe.
Among the key organizations they focused on, HYDRA was the first. That organization had tried to take revenge on him back then, and he hadn't forgotten!
Chapter 17
Although HYDRA was tightly organized and its branches had no contact with each other, Wang Haoyustill followed the clues to locate three strongholds and continuously inserted personnel into them.
He paid special attention to the HYDRA forces lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
Wang Haoyu never worried about whether he could infiltrate them, but rather how to completely dismantle their foundation.
The time was not yet ripe, as HYDRA was still hiding under the guise of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Next was S.H.I.E.L.D. itself.
As the most hated organization among global intelligence agencies, the number of double Agents, or even multiple Agents, was countless, and informants planted by rivals were everywhere.
Finally came the other U.S. agencies, with the Council being a key focus.
He was a person who always returned an offense, and once he made an enemy, he would be permanently guarded.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Hearing this name, Coulson was visibly stunned.
"Isn't that what your acronym stands for?"
Wang Haoyu casually rolled his eyes, but his gaze suddenly stopped on a familiar figure—the Agent he had planted in S.H.I.E.L.D., who had now risen to a middle-management position.
Thinking of the complicated situation inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Wang Haoyu couldn't help but smile wryly and rub his forehead. Nick Fury, I truly admire that your organization can still expand its Bases globally and build several Helicarriers under these circumstances!
"Indeed, the agency's name is too lengthy. I should suggest to the Director that we change it to something simpler." Coulson said, leading the two men into the Director's office.
"A pleasure to meet you, Nick Fury." The bald Director was the first to extend his hand in greeting.
"Wang Haoyu." He smiled and shook the man's hand, inwardly maintaining his guard.
"Tell me, why did you call me here?" Catching sight of Tony leisurely drinking coffee nearby, Wang Haoyu cut straight to the chase.
"Professor Wang, as a top medical expert, I would like to ask: How can a person who has been frozen for decades be made to adapt to this new era?" Nick Fury leaned back in his chair, waiting for the answer with interest.
Captain America is about to wake up? Wang Haoyu's thoughts churned. This meant the Loki invasion event was approaching. But the combat power of his operation teams was still far from enough... Wait, shouldn't Thor appear first according to the timeline? Where did that guy go? Did he miss Thor while in seclusion? That Magic Puppet was truly tempting!
"Ahem!" Tony lightly nudged his distracted companion.
"Two options," Wang Haoyu replied, regaining focus. "The first is to arrange specialized personnel for gradual guidance. It's time-consuming but safe. The second—if their relatives are still alive, let them participate in the awakening process. Although it means facing the cruelty of separation by death, it is the fastest way to achieve results."
"As for the third point, it's actually simple. Punch him a few times, then forcibly introduce him to this World."
Wang Haoyu shrugged casually as he spoke.
Tony, standing nearby, heard these three methods, and his expression instantly became strange.
Solve problems with fists?
Are you sure you won't get severely beaten up by that bald guy instead?
"Director, who exactly is this guy?"
Unable to stand it, Tony simply turned around and questioned Nick Fury directly.
"You are both familiar with this person. It's him!"
Nick Fury threw out a file. When Tony saw the photo and data, he nearly spat out the coffee in his mouth.
"Seriously?!"
After all, this was a legendary figure from World War II, a household hero!
Steve Rogers, the famous Captain America!
"Hey, look at those glutes～"
Wang Haoyu took the file, deliberately showing Tony Captain America's iconic butt line.
Honestly, that curve really made one want to smack it to test the elasticity.
"It's certainly good."
Even Tony, who had seen countless people, nodded, admitting that Captain America's backside was indeed quite shapely.
Nick Fury's forehead immediately developed a dark line as he listened to their ridiculous conversation.
"Officer, I have an urgent situation to report!"
Coulson suddenly walked in and handed a document to Nick Fury.
Nick Fury's brow furrowed tighter as he read the document.
A mysteriously appearing hammer?
"What big event happened? It can't be an alien attack, can it? If it is, I need to pack my bags and run."
Wang Haoyu rubbed his chin, seriously recalling the Marvel timeline.
Something must be wrong.
The plot about Hammer Bro should clearly be before Captain Tight-Ass!
Why did I receive absolutely no related news?
Ever since mastering Technological Magic, Wang Haoyu had become carefree.
He was no longer as cautious as before, needing Alice and others for personal protection.
Now he completely let loose, acting entirely on impulse—although that impulse didn't last long.
After all, the threat of Thanos was still hanging over his head.
What was more aggravating was that Thanos reportedly had five even more terrifying guys behind him. What the hell!
Lightning tore through the sky, and a divine hammer wreathed in thunder crashed down on a Mexican village, turning half of it into ruins.
Nick Fury sipped his coffee and recounted the incident in a light tone.
"It seems both geniuses are very interested in this?" The One-Eyed Director narrowed his eyes mischievously.
Wang Haoyu rotated the metal ring on his wrist, his eyes burning with eagerness. This Energy Bracelet, which he had personally crafted, was currently heating up slightly in his palm. He turned to look at Iron Man beside him: "Want to go take a look?"
Tony Stark caressed the blue-glowing Arc Reactor on his chest; a similar bracelet on his wrist emitted a cold, technological glow. This genius, who had always advocated for pure technology, rarely showed interest in mysterious power: "A hammer containing the power of thunder... it's certainly worth studying."
Since meeting Wang Haoyu, Tony's laboratory had added a dedicated research section for Magic Technology. Although he still outwardly adhered to the philosophy of "battle armor supremacy," he secretly collected many Magic Classics. Whenever Wang Haoyu suggested adding Spell Formulas to the Iron Man Suit, Tony would sternly refuse: "Technology and magic are like parallel lines; there's no need to force them to intersect."
Wang Haoyu merely smiled at this—this stubborn inventor was just worried about his masterpiece being overshadowed.
When S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quinjet landed in the Mexican desert, a ten-meter diameter impact crater was clearly visible in the rising dust. Tony looked at the ancient-looking hammer at the bottom of the pit, and a string of analysis data flashed across his lenses: "You call this a hammer? I'd believe it's a strategic weapon."
Wang Haoyu had lightly leaped into the pit, with faint golden Detection Ripples condensing at his fingertips. Agent Coulson behind him looked at the two mad scientists and sighed helplessly. Especially Professor Wang—he could have shone brightly on the Nobel Prize Stage, yet he was obsessed with using test tubes and equations to decipher the secrets of magic. What was even more terrifying was that he had actually succeeded.
This is truly annoying!
"Taihu, initiate scanning procedure!"
Wang Haoyu tapped his Smart Glasses, curiously awaiting the system feedback.
In an instant, sets of data unfolded in Wang Haoyu's vision.
The Taihu System was his first R&D achievement—an intelligent assistant designed specifically for scientific research, thanks to the technology he learned from fellow Engineers.
"Understood, Master!"
A sweet, girlish voice sounded in his ear.
Sure enough, mature women couldn't be relied upon; innocent and lovely young girls were his favorites!
"You brought the Taihu System out?"
Tony, also crouching by the pit, looked surprised.
How much Black Technology did this guy have on him?
"I carry it with me in case of emergencies. Is there a problem?"
This statement felt like a slap, hitting Tony hard across the face.
He was the legitimate research expert, wasn't he? What was a Half-Baked Magician doing trying to steal the spotlight?
"Whatever makes you happy!"
After being repeatedly provoked by Wang Haoyu, Tony made up his mind: he would put Jarvis into a Portable Device when he got back!
"Master, preliminary detection shows that the metal composition is mostly unrecorded matter, containing powerful energy internally, and is in an unstable state."
Taihu reported the scanning results in a clear voice.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Haoyu stood up, dusted himself off, and left the large pit.
"That's it?"
"No luck. We can't use this thing."
As Wang Haoyu shook his head, a commotion came from afar—
"Report! A lunatic is breaking into the site, claiming the item is his. Security can barely hold him back!"
They saw over a dozen strong men restraining a disheveled man.
Wang Haoyu's eyes lit up: The living embodiment of Thor Himself!
He began calculating: if he could extract Thor's Genes and mass-produce Lightning Warriors... Hiss—why was this idea becoming increasingly tempting?
"I suggest you let him in. That hammer might actually be his."
Wang Haoyu tried to dissuade Coulson from blocking him, but it was just a suggestion. He knew he had no real authority within S.H.I.E.L.D., nor did he possess extraordinary combat power.
"Understood?"
Coulson seemed to accept Wang Haoyu's suggestion, nodding readily and letting the man in.
"Father King, I'm coming back now!"
Thor Odinson mumbled, placing his hand on Mjolnir, wanting to lift the hammer to prove himself to Odin.
Crackle!
The hammer released powerful lightning, striking Thor and leaving him dizzy. Seeing this, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents quickly retreated.
"What's going on?"
Tony almost called for his battle armor; the sight was truly unexpected.
"That should be Mjolnir, and this guy is most likely Thor."
Wang Haoyu secretly calculated how to persuade Hammer Bro to cause some trouble.
"Thor? magic was surprising enough, don't tell me even gods are real?"
Tony was doubting his life, his worldview completely refreshed.
"They certainly exist. But how should I put it? If you went to a Primitive Civilization, you could also be a God of Iron. Similarly, they were revered as gods back then because of their great power."
Wang Haoyu explained, while Coulson listened quietly nearby.
"Back then?"
"Yes. Now, Earth has a true Big Shot holding things down and driving them away. Otherwise, we'd end up like the neighbors next to Rabbit Country, where even the Right to Station Troops is controlled. Understand?"
Saying this, Wang Haoyu walked toward the collapsed Thor.
"I see..."
Tony looked thoughtfully toward the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his sunglasses. If gods were this pathetic, he wouldn't mind telling them all to get lost. Thor? It looks like he needs to develop an Anti-Thor Armor set.
While pondering, Tony followed Wang Haoyu over to Thor.
"Bro, you still alive?"
Wang Haoyu gently nudged the grounded Thor with his toe.
Okay, already according to
The sound of electricity buzzed, and energy readings broke the threshold. Thor weakly turned his face, his pupils reflecting Wang Haoyu's figure before immediately looking away, forcing out an airy sound through his nose. An ant-like Blue Star Person.
Tony's Iris Recognition System clearly captured this detail, and his pupils slightly contracted beneath the carbon fiber frame. So-called god? The assessment score for them in his database was lowered by another 17%.
"Might as well give him a full physical."
Wang Haoyu snapped his fingers, and five Men in Black Suits immediately completed the transportation work. Three hours later, he walked out of the laboratory, caressing a Centrifuge Tubecontaining dark golden liquid, the suspended matter inside emitting a strange iridescence under the light.
"It took 273 minutes just to extract the Hemolytic Component?" Tony's Smart Glasses flashed blue light, and a nanoscale scan was analyzing the molecular formula on the test tube label.
Chapter 18.
"Let me supplement my personal file." Wang Haoyu stored the test tube in the Liquid Nitrogen Cabinet. The fingerprint lock emitted a "beep" authentication sound. "I have seven Dr. degrees, the most practical of which is Cancer Cell Mutation Research—which, of course, includes Biological Weapon Development."
A wave of air suddenly exploded from the distant meteorite crater. The bronze body of the Magic Puppet was grinding the asphalt road into a honeycomb pattern. Tony's wristwatch instantly unfolded into Nano Battle Armor, while Wang Haoyu stuffed a certain blonde female researcher into a Bulletproof Off-road Vehicle and sat on the hood, cracking pumpkin seeds.
When Mjolnir's Impact wave shattered all the car windows after breaking the sound barrier, Wang Haoyu's Particle Counter suddenly issued a sharp alarm. He squinted, watching the residual energy shadow of Thor being taken away by the Bifrost Bridge. The Tactical Tablet automatically marked five Asgardian life signals—all moving toward the center of New York City.
As for what Wang Haoyu was going to do, that had nothing to do with him!
Right now, his entire focus was on studying this Magic Puppet. It was said to be the local tyrant's Treasure Used to Guard the Home.
Wang Haoyu immediately snatched the research rights.
"Professor Wang, how about we let S.H.I.E.L.D. take this over?" Coulson suggested weakly.
"You guys? Can you even research it?" Wang Haoyu rolled his eyes. He thought to himself that if he gave it to them, HYDRA would probably steal it clean in the blink of an eye.
"Our bureau still has professional talent..." Under the deterrence of the scientific equipment, Coulsonspoke without confidence.
When it came to magic research, besides the lineage of the Sorcerer Ancient One, Wang Haoyu was the most proficient. Moreover, his Scientific Magic was unique and could be fully explained using modern science.
"Lend it to me for a while, and I'll give you a report when I'm done." Wang Haoyu called Nick Furydirectly and easily obtained the item. The promise of one research report made the Director obediently hand over the research rights.
Soon, this Magic Puppet was sent into the laboratory at the Umbrella Tower.
After seeing the various Black Technology developed by Wang Haoyu, Tony also dove into his workshop, vowing to create some decent inventions. In front of Wang Haoyu, this genius always felt like an ordinary person.
Look at the scope of Wang Haoyu's involvement: from medicine and biology to occultism, and then to artificial intelligence and mechanical engineering, and now he is delving into energetics. His comprehensive development was astonishing.
"Jarvis, do you need an assistant?" Suddenly thinking of Wang Haoyu's system name assistant, Tonyhad a sudden inspiration.
"Sir, what do you mean?" The butler program was momentarily confused. Was he finding a helper for it, or indirectly adding personnel for himself?
"Nothing much, I just think it's time to cultivate different types of assistants." As he spoke, Tony already had an idea: first, develop a Combat-Type Intelligent Assistant. Jarvis was a very competent personal butler, but now a more professional combat support system was needed.
Tony really needed to find a dedicated combat helper.
"What exactly is the principle behind this magic circuit?"
Wang Haoyu, having disassembled the gigantic Magic Puppet, was a bit confused.
As expected of the treasured item of the God King Odin, the dense Magic Patterns alone were enough to warrant research for quite some time, let alone fully replicating them.
"You brought back Odin's War Puppet?"
Just as Wang Haoyu was deep in thought, that voice, both familiar and unfamiliar, sounded in his ear again.
Wang Haoyu sighed helplessly.
The owner of this voice was precisely Earth's current most powerful Guardian—Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi.
"My Lord, can we negotiate? Next time you come to see me, please use the front door. I'll grant you maximum clearance!"
Wang Haoyu said with a bitter face to the bald female Sorcerer in the golden yellow robe standing before him.
"Alright, I will use the front door next time."
The Sorcerer Ancient One realized her sudden visit was somewhat abrupt and nodded gently in agreement.
"Would you like something to drink?"
Although they were in the laboratory at the Umbrella Tower, Wang Haoyu's equipment here was quite complete.
"Plain boiled water is fine, thank you."
Ancient One sat down calmly, quietly watching Wang Haoyu prepare the drink.
"Please drink."
Wang Haoyu handed the plain boiled water to Ancient One, while he brewed a cup of high-quality Maojian tea for himself.
"My Lord, what guidance do you have for visiting this time?"
After calming down, Wang Haoyu asked straightforwardly.
In the Marvel Universe, unless you can break through dimensional limitations or become powerful enough to control the laws of time and space, you will always be inferior. There are countless beings stronger than you. What Wang Haoyu found most incomprehensible was why so many big figures in the Universe were eyeing this inconspicuous Planet.
"Nothing much, I just saw that you were somewhat confused about Odin's Divine Magic Circuitry, so I came to take a look."
Ancient One gently sipped the plain boiled water and explained with a smile.
"It's not exactly confusion. Whether it's magic, Divine Technique, or technological energy, the essence never deviates from a few core elements—energy transmission path, conversion mechanism, and release method."
As for the difficult-to-understand parts, perhaps it's just unfamiliarity with the power system of Divine Magic!
Wang Haoyu gently shook his head, pointing out his current confusion straightforwardly.
After all, he had truly never encountered the energy form of Divine Magic.
In the Scientific Magic system, are there any spells among the 108,000 that possess astonishing power?
Of course there are. Leaving aside everything else, there are hundreds, even thousands, of Scientific Magic spells capable of Star-destroying Level power alone!
But the problem is, none of these Star-destroying Level Scientific Magic spells can be controlled by the current Wang Haoyu.
Tracing the root cause, there are two main points: the cost of casting, and the limitations of his own ability.
"Odin's Divine Power is not some mysterious force. If explained using your scientific theory, it is like the progressive purification of matter."
"The process goes from smelting iron ore into iron ingots, refining it into high-quality steel, and finally sublimating it into Transcendent Iron Essence."
"Essentially, this is the ultimate compression and transformation of energy, allowing it to achieve power that is hard to match."
The Sorcerer Ancient One used simple and easy-to-understand metaphors to explain everything to Wang Haoyu.
This explanation brought Wang Haoyu to a sudden realization—the core lay in the compression and qualitative change of energy!
If that was the case, this Magic Puppet was indeed a rare treasure.
"Thank you for the guidance."
Often, it wasn't true ignorance, but getting stuck in a fixed mindset. The Sorcerer Ancient One's advice made Wang Haoyu instantly understand the key to dealing with the Magic Puppet.
It was very simple: first complete the necessary research, then put it into practice!
"It's nothing."
The Sorcerer Ancient One smiled faintly, then stood up and disappeared from the laboratory.
"These experts act so mysteriously."
Wang Haoyu curled his lip and returned to work. After several days of disassembly and analysis, he returned the remnants of the War Magic Puppet, along with the hastily written research notes (which were actually worthless), to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Two months later, the Red Alert Planet had been completely renewed.
Unlike Earth, the Red Alert Planet only had 60% ocean coverage, making water resources relatively scarce.
(
This Planet was left with only land!
The difference was that this Red Alert Planet actually had thirteen continents!
At this time, the Co-Brilliance faction led by Wang Haoyu had begun to gradually take control of one of the continents!
Inside the Co-Brilliance Control Base—
Time passed.
Wang Haoyu could finally recruit the long-awaited hero from the barracks!
"Conscript Tanya!"
The moment the order was given, the Control Base's conscription program immediately activated!
In an instant—
This Allies hero, Tanya, who cost the production capacity of ten barracks and 100 million resources, made a dashing appearance!
"Yo, Commander! You're quite handsome!"
Agent Tanya, with her flowing blonde hair and tight battle suit, laughed and leaned close to Wang Haoyu, completely unlike the respectful demeanor of other soldiers, instead teasing him without restraint.
Wang Haoyu's face instantly darkened—
As expected of the rumored Tanya!
She had repeatedly defied Allies orders, treated solo incursions onto the battlefield as routine, and could be called the female version of Captain America, perhaps even better!
"Welcome aboard, Tanya."
Wang Haoyu smiled, suppressing his displeasure. Personality issues didn't matter; as long as she could strengthen the Co-Brilliance faction, these things were tolerable.
"Commander, what mission are you planning to send me on? Rescuing an Engineer? Or assassinating a General?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Haoyu felt a headache coming on—
She truly was a fanatic warmonger!
"Right now, I need you to train new recruits. I don't have time to lead the team myself. These two are your assistants."
Wang Haoyu quickly presented two Customized Female Soldiers, then turned and left, heading straight for the Biochemical Base.
The development of the vengeance goddess finally had a breakthrough!
"What's up with the Commander? Do you guys know?"
Tanya, who had just emerged from the barracks, was still unfamiliar with the current state of Co-Brilliance and looked at her two assistants in confusion.
In Tanya's view, Wang Haoyu was just a lucky Commander.
The two Customized Female Soldiers, Zhang Ya and Zhang Yu, stepped forward to report: "Reporting, General. The Officer has other important duties. We will assist with the management of the Co-Brilliance Base going forward."
They were not nobodies. The sisters were born of the same mother, one named Zhang Ya, the other named Zhang Yu.
"Oh? Tell me about the combat units under your Commander." Tanya carelessly fiddled with the silver ** at her waist, her tone flippant. She thought, why should she care about mere military power?
"Understood, General!" Zhang Ya respectfully began her report.
But as she listened, Tanya's expression gradually froze. She even wondered if she was hallucinating.
"Wait, you said Co-Brilliance Soldiers have all awakened Supernatural Abilities?"
"Yes, General."
"Even the manufactured vehicles have gained life?"
"Yes, General."
"The Special Forces are even equipped with dual sets of battle armor for aerial combat training?"
"Yes, General."
"Damn it! Has this World gone crazy?" Tanya was completely bewildered. How did the Co-Brilliancefaction's tech tree get so twisted? Was this still the style the Allies should have?!
"General, you'll understand once you see it yourself." Zhang Ya suppressed a smile and led the life-doubting Tanya away to broaden her horizons.
Meanwhile, Wang Haoyu stepped into the Biochemical Base. A radiant Bucky excitedly stepped forward to greet him: "BOSS!"
The current Bucky had been completely reborn. His mechanical arm, modified by Co-BrillianceEngineers, had combat power that rivaled the Hulk. Its ** strength completely crushed his old friend Captain America—now, he could rub Captain ** into the ground.
"I have a new mission for you."
"Please instruct, BOSS!" Fighting spirit burned fiercely in the eyes of Bucky, the Gatekeeper.
["Turn around. I'm sending you back to your old den. No matter what means you use, gather up all those scum and degenerates for me and build an armed force that only obeys your command. I'll give you whatever you need—there is only one condition."
"But from now on, you are completely severed from Umbrella, and you will have nothing to do with me, understood?"
Wang Haoyu narrowed his eyes, quietly watching the excited Bucky before him.
"Understood, Boss!"
Bucky quickly nodded in comprehension. Incorporating those desperadoes, keeping them inactive normally, they would be the sharp knife clearing obstacles for Umbrella at critical moments.
"Good that you understand. Go prepare. You can ask Wang Yuyan to allocate some resources—remember, this is the first and last time you will receive support."
Chapter 19
Wang Haoyu said no more and walked straight toward the depths of the Bio-Engineering Base. This decision had a deeper meaning: some dirty work had to be done by others, and more importantly... when Captain America, the embodiment of justice, saw Bucky leading thugs rampant and unrestrained, could he still easily say, "I forgive you"?
"Boss!"
Dr. Lizard and Doctor Octopus greeted him simultaneously, their eyes shining with fanaticism. For the former, this Bio-Island was a dream laboratory; the latter treated Wang Haoyu, who did no research himself, as a god.
"Tell me about the progress."
"The Licker is simply a perfect creation! After integrating my Lizard Gene, all indices have significantly improved." Dr. Lizard eagerly waved his clipboard. "Although more test subjects are needed, I guarantee I will present an enhanced model that satisfies you!"
No problem.
"I agree!" Wang Haoyu readily consented to Dr. Lizard's request.
Resources were now abundant, a far cry from the shortage months ago. After Zhang Ya and Zhang Yuled the Superpowered Co-Brilliance Troops to sweep nearly a hundred Primitive Tribes, experimental materials piled up like mountains on the Bio-Island.
Those people from the Marvel Universe had been eliminated by Wang Haoyu—primitive, strong bodies were the best carriers for bio-experiments. Lack of intelligence didn't matter, as long as their physical qualities were outstanding.
Against this backdrop, the Zhang Ya sisters, having received tacit approval, even started "farming" Primitives... "Leader, the Tyrants' strength increased greatly after the upgrade, but the Bio-Chips cannot handle the load," Doctor Octopus reported, swinging his Mechanical Tentacles. This scientist, who gained opportunity through developing Prosthetics, deeply valued the chance Wang Haoyu gave him.
Although installing Octopus Tentacles doubled the Tyrants' power, it overloaded the control system—it was like trying to play a game on a 2G network; of course, it would crash.
"Can't the existing chips be used?"
"Yes, Leader." These Mechanical Tentacles connected to the spine required extra computing resources, worsening the burden on the already overwhelmed Bio-Chips.
"What is the modification progress?"
"Over thirty units are complete, and nearly three hundred are awaiting modification." Wang Haoyuwaved his hand and ordered, "Continue installing the tentacles. Put them all into stasis once finished. I will solve the chip problem."
Walking into the laboratory, Wang Haoyu was still most concerned about the "vengeance goddess" project. Although he possessed professional knowledge, he could only remain silent regarding this core project handled by over ten Bio-Experts—after all, he hadn't followed every experimental detail.
"Commander!" A subordinate rushed over to ask for instructions, "Who are we dealing with this time?"
Tanya's eyes flashed with excitement as she grabbed Wang Haoyu, who was about to leave the Red Alert Planet, and began questioning him.
After seeing the data presented by Zhang Ya and Zhang Yu,
Tanya was trembling with excitement.
Superpowered Special Forces, Cavalry Power Armor Troops, and the Transforming Mechanical Legion!
Just thinking about these three elite units made her heart beat uncontrollably faster.
"Who are we fighting now? You should organize the troops first; the battle is coming soon!"
"Oh, right, I'm giving you partial command authority."
Wang Haoyu thoughtfully granted Tanya most of the Base construction permissions.
He really didn't have time to stay on this Planet any longer.
Recently, Council City always gave him a feeling that a storm was brewing.
"He just left?"
Watching Wang Haoyu's quickly departing back, Tanya slumped her shoulders in disappointment.
Having such powerful military strength yet being unable to immediately deploy it to the battlefield,
was maddening.
"General!"
It wasn't until Wang Haoyu handed over control of the Co-Brilliance Base that Zhang Ya and Zhang Yutruly acknowledged Tanya's Commander status.
After all, a General without real authority was just an empty title.
"Action immediately."
"You previously reported that the Commander transferred ten thousand Superpowered Warriors?"
"Yes, General!" Zhang Yu confirmed, opening her Portable Terminal.
"Although they are strong fighters, I imagine they can only be used for Planet defense..."
"It seems the combat level over there is not low."
Tanya pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered the recruitment of thirty thousand more soldiers.
Nearly twenty thousand troops were currently assembled on the Red Alert Planet,
but launching an offensive on this continent, which was larger than Earth,
would clearly stretch their forces thin.
"Expand the Vehicle Factory!"
Tanya simultaneously initiated the construction plan for hundreds of factories, though she wasn't sure how long the specific construction period would take.
"Accelerate the production of destroyers, Anti-Air Cruisers, and the Submarine Fleet!"
Facing naval units that cost tens of millions, Tanya never worried about resource consumption.
Currently, three thousand Transformers version chrono miners were equipped, and there were over five hundred Mining Fields scattered across the continent.
"Is this... an Aircraft Carrier?"
When Tanya pulled up the construction interface, her fingers suddenly trembled.
God witnesses! This was actually a Co-Brilliance Class Aircraft Carrier! Like those freakish Co-Brilliance Troopers, it was a War Machine from another dimension entirely. If the Allies' Aircraft Carriers were light cavalry, and the Polar Bear Aircraft Carriers were heavy warriors, then the Co-Brilliance Aircraft Carrier was simply a mobile Steel Fortress.
"One billion per ship? Interesting."
Tanya's mouth twitched, but she unhesitatingly selected six Aircraft Carriers for construction.
"Time to go 'greet' the Legion Commanders!"
She swiftly grabbed her twin pistols and darted out of the Command Post.
—Umbrella Tower Top Floor—
"Is the plan really feasible?"
Wang Haoyu watched the White Engineer beside him, deep suspicion etched between his brows.
"Commander, please rest assured, this is exactly my area of expertise! Although cross-Planet chrono teleportation has not yet been practiced, that's precisely why it's worth trying, isn't it?"
The Engineer's eyes behind his lenses shone with fanaticism.
Watching his excited state, Wang Haoyu suddenly felt the urge to cover his face.
What was this unreliable premonition... Building a large Interstellar Chrono Teleportation Device—that was the top-secret project currently underway on the top floor.
"Start the test."
Wang Haoyu finally nodded in compromise. He calculated silently: If Forum City were invaded by the Third Princess, conventional portals could not support large-scale troop deployment. Furthermore... who could refuse the ** of carrying an "anywhere door" with them? When enemies watch you activate mass-production mode, they should understand what a Dimensionality Reduction Strike is—unless they can pull out an Interstellar Battleship to counter it.
Otherwise, you're just slightly stronger than them. They can pull you back at any time!
Don't underestimate the ruthlessness of these hooligans; they have an entire nation backing them.
"Good!"
The Engineer replied to Wang Haoyu and immediately started the testing procedure.
The energy used this time was High-Density Compressed Energy brought from the Red Alert Planet.
Although the Red Alert Planet's Technology Tree was somewhat skewed, it was gradually normalizing after passing through the Marvel Universe.
As the Engineer operated the controls, the Chrono Teleportation Device began to emit a faint, pale blue light.
==============
Crackle! Crackle!
Like an unstable signal, the device finally stopped running.
"It seems to be a signal issue."
Wang Haoyu, who had been observing for a long time, rubbed his temples.
Comparing the Star Map showed that the Red Alert Planet was ridiculously far away.
Trying to build large-scale spatial teleportation equipment relying on Red Alert Technology combined with scattered Marvel Black Technology?
It was truly wishful thinking.
"That's right. If only we had a dozen Signal Relay Stations," the Engineer nodded regretfully to Wang Haoyu.
"Relay Stations? We haven't even flown out of the Red Alert Planet yet!" Wang Haoyu couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea.
Although the infrastructure on the Red Alert Planet had started to take shape,
and they had even launched two or three Satellites into orbit... ultimately, there were only two or three!
The manufacturing of Satellites required billions of Resource Units!
The research and development costs for cutting-edge technologies like Lightning Storm and Iron Curtain were even more astonishing, often costing nearly ten billion Resource Units! A single activation consumed such vast resources; he truly didn't know how many chrono miners would be needed to cover this massive expenditure.
The cost of a Magic Energy Well was even more staggering—a single Magic Energy Well required three billion resources, and each Satellite cost up to ten billion!
When Wang Haoyu learned of this astronomical figure, he almost wanted to cry. Although he didn't know the actual cost for military powers to manufacture Satellites, he truly had to pay ten billion Resource Units for them.
"What if we combine Scientific Magic with chrono teleportation technology?" Wang Haoyu, who was contemplating how the Transformers Legion and the Tyrant Legion would fight the Chitauri Army, suddenly proposed this bold idea.
Although Wang Haoyu only had one Chrono Teleportation Engineer under his command, this did not affect his innovative enthusiasm. The two immediately began experimenting. Wang Haoyu displayed the Teleportation Array Diagram obtained from the knowledge vault via holographic projection—it was a Scientific Magic Array based on a Hexagram.
"The data shows there are many types of magic circles suitable for interstellar teleportation, but due to material restrictions, we can only implement this type for now," Wang Haoyu explained. To realize a teleportation system using the Umbrella Tower as the Array Core, multiple surrounding buildings would need to be acquired.
"Yu Yan!" Wang Haoyu immediately contacted the Umbrella Chief Executive Officer. "I'll send you a document shortly. Make sure to acquire all the buildings and companies listed on it."
"Young Master, under what pretext should we proceed?"
"Group Expansion. Split up all the departments and institutions that can be integrated!"
"Understood, Young Master!"
Just as Wang Haoyu hung up the phone, his capable Research Assistant, Taihu, suddenly sent a message: "Sir, the Reception reports that Sorcerer Ancient One is visiting!"
"Sorcerer Ancient One? Is he spying on me?" Wang Haoyu's face darkened, and he ordered his subordinate to grant entry.
Soon, a Co-Brilliance Soldier escorted Sorcerer Ancient One to the laboratory.
"You always show up on time. Are you keeping an eye on me?" Looking at the other party's smiling expression, Wang Haoyu felt inexplicably irritated. Whenever he encountered a magic problem, this Sorcerer always showed up uninvited.
"I observe the Timeline, I am not specifically focused on you," Sorcerer Ancient One calmly explained. After all, the timing was indeed coincidental.
"Say whatever you like. What guidance do you have for me this time?" Wang Haoyu said helplessly. He knew the other party possessed the power of the Time Stone. It was rumored that Ancient One used the Gem's energy to resist the invasion of Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension.
"I am here to witness the possibility of Mortals," Sorcerer Ancient One said slowly, sitting down on a Bamboo Chair.
"The possibility of Mortals?"
"That's right. Magic Teleportation Arrays do exist, but Mortals find them difficult to control. The primary condition for activating a Teleportation Array is possessing Magic Power within the body, and you lack this talent."
"This is only the principle for internal Planet teleportation. If you want to construct a Cross-Star DomainArray, as far as I know, no one on Earth besides me can achieve it right now." Sorcerer Ancient Oneshook her head slightly.
"Why can't Cross-Star Domain Teleportation be achieved?" Wang Haoyu pressed.
This World was full of variables yet fraught with danger, no wonder Transmigrators avoided it.
This was a passage about the Marvel Universe.
If it were the movie version of the Marvel Universe, one could barely survive, at least until the Avengersdefeated that Purple Big Guy!
But if it was the comic book version?
That was utterly absurd!
In the comics, every character had their own exclusive Parallel Universe, and each Parallel Universe had countless branches. It was no exaggeration to say that even incorporating the Oriental Mythology System and bringing out the entire Heavenly Court into the Marvel Universe would not be surprising.
That was the comic book setting.
Wang Haoyu absolutely couldn't believe he was in the Comic Book Marvel version!
"Because of the Energy Law!"
Chapter 20, Chapter 20
"The conservation of energy is an iron law! To gain, one must pay; to pay, one must receive a return!"
"The study of magic largely depends on innate talent and the energy drifting between heaven and earth!"
"Unfortunately, this kind of energy is becoming increasingly scarce today, and those who can become mages are few and far between!"
"That's why I am looking forward to seeing if you can create the miracle of mortals cultivating magic?"
Sorcerer Ancient One watched Wang Haoyu with a calm expression, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
"We shall wait and see!"
After hearing these words, Wang Haoyu gradually calmed down.
Achieving a mage's miracle with a mortal body?
Is it an Interstellar Teleportation Array?
If that's the case, can Odin's Bifrost Bridge be considered some kind of God-level Magic Teleportation Array?
If so, the Black Technology principle behind the Bifrost Bridge makes sense:
Target positioning, information simulation guidance, spatial contraction traction, activation of the teleportation array, and precise delivery.
This is the function of the Enhanced Bifrost Bridge!
Completely focused, Wang Haoyu didn't notice Sorcerer Ancient One beside him, drawing the magic circle diagram alone on the Virtual Panel.
Just then, the door gently chimed, and a Golden magic Array Pattern appeared in Sorcerer Ancient One's palm.
Wang Yuyan, who had quietly entered the room, saw Wang Haoyu focused on designing the magic circle. She placed an invitation on the coffee table and quietly left, never noticing the second visitor in the room.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
"What? You guys are forming a Super Boys Club like this?"
Tony, who had been summoned again, looked bewildered.
Why should I care if they form a club?
"It's the Avengers, not some club!"
Steve Rogers, awakened from the ice, scrutinized the man before him with cold eyes.
He hated this guy.
That indifferent attitude toward everything made him the epitome of a selfish person.
"Enough, I'm not interested in your Super Boys Club or your League of Heroes!"
Tony Stark was only thinking about competing with Wang Haoyu in technology and had absolutely no interest in these trivial matters.
"Stop!" The Captain suddenly roared, "You, who possess extraordinary power and are called a hero by the citizens, can you bear to watch them suffer harm?"
He sounded like a grieving saint, his voice making the glass buzz.
Clearly possessing divine power and enjoying the respect of thousands.
Yet only caring about his own petty affairs.
Does a person like this deserve to be called a hero?
"Your new orator? Not bad." Tony turned his head, glanced at Fury scratching his bald head, and casually tossed out a banknote. "Here's a dollar for you."
"You bastard!"
Watching the retreating figure, Steve clenched his fist.
The selfish scoundrel never considered the feelings of others, always acting on his own whims.
If this were on the battlefield, people like him would deserve a bullet.
As an old relic who had been elevated to a god-like status during World War II, the Captain completely failed to understand this style of behavior.
"Calm down, Captain." Fury sighed. "He's just one of the candidates. These are all your potential teammates."
He truly didn't know how to explain things to the Old Popsicle, who was still living in a bubble of dedication and sacrifice.
That kind of thinking was fine for the military.
But for Transcendents? It meant nothing.
"Black Widow... Natasha?"
Steve suppressed his anger and opened the file.
After all, protecting this city couldn't be done by him alone.
Inside the speeding battle armor, Tony curled his lip.
Be a World Hero?
Heh, whoever wants that false reputation can have it.
Tony had no enthusiasm for anything at the moment!
He heard Wang Haoyu was researching Magic Golems?
This thought made Tony slam down the sports car accelerator!
"Jarvis, contact Wang Haoyu immediately!"
Tony, having made up his mind, immediately ordered the Intelligent Butler to establish communication.
"Yes, sir."
The Electronic Butler, always present like a shadow, quickly connected the dedicated line.
"Sir, an access request from Jarvis has been detected."
Wang Haoyu, who was concentrating on drawing the magic circle diagram, suddenly heard the prompt tone from the Intelligent Assistant, "system name."
Although "system name" was only a Scientific Research Assistance System, it still possessed specific permissions.
"Connect it."
Wang Haoyu put down his drawing pen and looked around. The elusive Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi was already gone.
Wang Haoyu was already used to this—the Sorcerer always liked to disappear in the most annoying way.
"What is it, Jarvis?"
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Stark is looking for you."
"Hey Wang Haoyu, where are you right now?" Tony shouted into the communicator while speeding through heavy traffic.
"Umbrella Tower. Something up?"
Wang Haoyu felt suspicious; this Tsundere contacting him proactively never meant anything good.
He secretly wondered what Tony's true intention was this time.
"Let's talk in person! I'll be there soon!"
Before he finished speaking, Tony sharply turned the steering wheel, tires screeching sparks as he sped toward the destination.
"I'll wait for you in the office."
Wang Haoyu, putting down the drawing pen, noticed the documents on the coffee table.
"Are these Acquisition Progress Reports?"
Flipping through the dense merger and acquisition documents, Wang Haoyu nodded in satisfaction.
The ten thousand Superpowered Agents dispatched earlier had indeed achieved remarkable results.
Adhering to the principle, "We will not attack unless attacked,"
The Umbrella Group thus dominated the pharmaceutical field,
Leaving its competitors far behind.
Wang Haoyu put down the acquisition documents for several high-rise buildings and began pondering another issue.
Although the Superpowered Soldiers were considered cannon fodder, their potential should not be underestimated.
Just as described in Urban Supernatural Novels, true experts are often tempered on the edge of life and death.
The same is true for veterans on the battlefield—as long as they survive, they are bound to be stronger than recruits, especially Superpowered Warriors whose strength can increase exponentially!
"It seems I need to find time to research techniques for treating external injuries within Scientific Magic." He mused inwardly.
Just then, Tony walked in smiling, tossing his car keys onto the coffee table.
"Wang Haoyu, you look great lately!" He turned to Wang Yuyan and said, "Get me a cup of the finest Longjing Tea."
Wang Haoyu glanced at him: "It's rare for you to have time to visit. Speak, what is it? You never visit unless you need something."
He felt helpless about Tony treating the Umbrella Group like his own home. The guy acted seriously outside, but here he was as casual as if he were at Stark Industries.
"Did you receive an invitation?" Tony asked, taking a sip of tea.
"What invitation?" Wang Haoyu was confused.
"The invitation to the Super Boys Club," Tony replied with a straight face.
"Super Boys Club?" Wang Haoyu's mouth twitched. "Who came up with that name?"
It made him want to punch the founder.
"Nick Fury," Tony answered casually, leaning back on the sofa.
"So... why are you asking if I received an invitation?" Wang Haoyu was speechless.
Super Boys Club? That must be the Avengers. Since the Avengers have appeared, the Aerospace Carrier isn't far off... and once the Aerospace Carrier shows up, it means the arrival of the Third Princessisn't far either.
Wang Haoyu, whose thoughts were drifting further and further away, had long since forgotten about the strange invitation.
"Did the Agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. contact you? I remember your file was on their recruitment list!"
Tony asked Wang Haoyu with a look of curiosity.
After all, Nick Fury's archives did contain Wang Haoyu's relevant information.
"I really don't know about that. Right now, I don't even know where I'm going to show up next, let alone what they're doing."
"Maybe the invitation is at the Villa, or maybe it's right here in this office."
Wang Haoyu started searching on the office desk while speaking.
"Look, it really was on the desk. But I rarely come to this office."
He shrugged and picked up the invitation from S.H.I.E.L.D.
"But I'm very curious, why would they invite me? I'm just an ordinary Professor of Oncology."
Seeing Wang Haoyu being so modest, Tony suddenly felt the urge to punch him.
But Tony knew clearly that if they actually fought, he probably wouldn't be a match.
"You're a Doctor. If I'm not mistaken, they probably want you to serve as the Team Doctor."
"Coupled with your Magic Technology Equipment, which is no worse than mine, that's enough to draw S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention."
"In fact, even S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents are green with envy over your equipment."
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. I heard that influenced by you, those few researchers in S.H.I.E.L.D. who have a bit of magic foundation are all working overtime to develop Magic Equipment."
Tony suddenly remembered something and added with a smile.
"What a bunch of pitiful guys!"
Thinking about these people who knew a little magic being exploited by S.H.I.E.L.D. like this,
A slight look of worry appeared on Wang Haoyu's face.
However, his bright smile showed no trace of actual concern.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Wang Haoyu's expression, Tony couldn't help but burst out laughing.
They say happiness is always built upon the suffering of others; the fun between men is sometimes this strange and simple.
"What are your plans?"
After laughing, Tony pointed at the invitation and asked.
"No ideas for now. But I speculate it's because the situation is becoming increasingly severe."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to assemble a Special Force to combat criminal organizations, rogue villains, or deal with alien gods and invaders."
Wang Haoyu shook his head lightly, directly pointing out the fundamental internal problems of the Avengers.
These contradictions were already fully evident in the Movie Version of the Avengers.
"Is that so?"
Tony fell into deep thought upon hearing this. During his time at S.H.I.E.L.D., he really hadn't deeply considered these issues—it was all the fault of that idealist Steve constantly promoting the "with great power comes great responsibility" rhetoric.
If he hadn't been bothered by that argument, he could have at least finished his coffee before leaving.
"Wang Haoyu, do aliens really exist?"
After a long silence, Tony suddenly looked up and asked. Do extraterrestrial lives truly exist? If they do, what level of technology have they reached? This was the problem that kept him up at night.
"Even legendary gods have appeared; can aliens still be just imagination? Maybe they have long been lurking among us—aren't those self-proclaimed gods the best example?"
"The Universe is vast and boundless. No one can definitively say what kind of power, technology, or civilization it holds."
"Perhaps some race truly can move mountains and fill seas with a snap of their fingers, just as myths describe;"
"Perhaps some civilization has developed fleets that traverse the star seas and are coveting the entire Universe;"
"And it's even possible that a civilization has pushed magic to its peak, capable of annihilating a thousand warships with the power of a single person."
"Everything is possible. No one can give a definite answer."
Wang Haoyu did not answer directly. After all, Thor and his people were living, breathing alien immigrants.
"Indeed... the Universe is too big. So, when you asked me for battle armor back then, was it to guard against alien invasion?"
Tony suddenly connected the dots.
"That's right. I'm afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying meaninglessly."
"Who understands the true strength of alien civilizations? You don't know, I don't know, and the UN Security Council P5 doesn't know either."
"We mortals don't possess the power of a Mythical Bloodline like Thor's."
"Our only weapon is wisdom. Since that is the case, we should use our wisdom to forge our own shields."
Chapter 21 Chapter 21
"My Technology Magic combined with your battle armor! Listen, this is our real trump card!"
"Alien invasion might be far away, or it might be right around the corner—it could happen tomorrow!"
"I just don't want to die clueless!"
Wang Haoyu faced the question directly, without any concealment.
He clung to life, so he built armies day and night;
He feared death, so he frantically pushed forward taboo research—
Biochemical experiments, genetic modification, moral shackles had long been cast aside. He had to grasp the reins of destiny and become the player who controlled life and death!
"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to worry about interstellar civilizations."
Tony rubbed his chin with a bitter smile.
How were the forces of the Universe arranged? He knew nothing.
Don't imagine space is a fairy tale playground—
The Dark Forest Law has been ever-present since the birth of life.
"Then get stronger! Squeeze your brain and create weapons that subvert cognition." Wang Haoyupatted Tony's shoulder,
"Only strength can cope with the interstellar crisis that could descend at any time."
If there was anyone in the World who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Wang Haoyu, it was Tony.
Both geniuses, wielding the scepter of technology,
They refused to bow to so-called powerhouses—
Destiny should only be in their own hands!
"No wonder the lights in your laboratory never go out." Tony suddenly turned around as he got up,
"By the way, what do you think of that 'Super Boy Club'?"
Wang Haoyu casually turned a wrench:
"Let's wait and see. S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing this, perhaps to defend against aliens, or perhaps to suppress rioters... it doesn't matter."
He suddenly grinned,
"If we're not satisfied, we can always build our own—you have a knowledge vault, I have a team; you have capital, I can burn money. Our own toys are always handier than others', right?"
Behind the two business magnates were vast corporate empires. With strong financial support, there was no field they couldn't enter!
"That makes sense, let's observe the situation first."
Tony shrugged indifferently and strode out of Wang Haoyu's office.
"Oh, and remember to have your group's CEO, Wang Yuyan, come to Stark Industries to find Pepper. I need to sign several important project agreements to deepen our cooperation."
Before leaving, Tony threw this last remark to Wang Haoyu.
"This guy..."
Looking at Tony's departing back, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but laugh wryly.
This was clearly an attempt to completely tie him to the same boat. However, Wang Haoyu didn't reject this form of alliance.
Half a month later.
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
Standing on the deck, Wang Haoyu looked with interest at the behemoth beneath his feet—it was more accurately described as a "Sky-Carrier" rather than an Aircraft Carrier. After all, in the Marvel Universe, this giant vessel possessed the ability to fly.
Thinking of this, Wang Haoyu suddenly felt a competitive urge.
It seemed the Aircraft Carrier of the Red Alert Base also needed to be upgraded to a Sky-Carrier model soon, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
"Why exactly were we summoned to this ship?"
Dr. Banner, looking bewildered, stood on the deck, gazing at Tony and Wang Haoyu beside him, puzzled.
For this so-called "Avengers Initiative," S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, by some unknown means, managed to persuade General Ross to stop pursuing Banner. In exchange, Banner needed to seriously consider joining this superhero team.
"Who knows, maybe they're taking us to a deserted island for a secret execution." Wang Haoyu, in high spirits, joked, pointing at himself, Tony, and Banner, "After all, the three of us are indeed 'problem individuals.'"
A medical Professor obsessed with business, an unruly genius billionaire, plus a scientist who could transform into the Hulk at any moment—they were indeed the standard "trouble trio."
"If that's the case, I'll have to prepare an escape plan in advance. Don't worry, I'll collect your bodies after I'm safe."
Tony retorted Wang Haoyu's joke without hesitation. After all, mutual teasing was their way of interacting.
"Mr. Wang, your assessment of us puts me in a bit of a difficult position."
Coulson sighed softly, walking slowly from behind. He had clearly heard every word Wang Haoyu said.
"Hahaha!"
The three Drs. exchanged glances and burst into knowing laughter. At that moment, only laughter could diffuse the awkward atmosphere.
"Where are we going next?" Tony asked Coulson with interest.
"Please prepare yourselves, Officer. The Avengers are about to hold their first meeting."
Coulson nodded slightly and turned to leave. His task was merely to convey the meeting notification.
As the Agent left, the deck crew began to evacuate quickly.
"What in the World is going on?" Dr. Banner looked at the busy crowd, feeling vaguely uneasy. Tonystroked his chin, speculating, "Judging by how the equipment is being reinforced, the Aircraft Carriermight be submerging."
"This is bad. The one inside me doesn't like enclosed spaces." Banner's brows were tightly furrowed. The Hulk's aversion to claustrophobic environments worried him.
"Or perhaps it's going to ascend?" Wang Haoyu listened to the continuous broadcast, a playful smile on his face. The integration of anti-gravity and magnetic levitation technology into this behemoth was indeed a marvel of black technology.
Such core technology must also be mastered by Co-Brilliance's Engineers. Wang Haoyu secretly planned to assign new projects to the three thousand laboratory members on Red Alert Planet—those tech fanatics couldn't be left idle.
Boom—!
The sea surface suddenly churned violently, and four sets of anti-gravity propellers roared open from the sides of the ship, stirring up monstrous waves.
"It really might be going up into the sky!"
"Pray there are no accidents in mid-air!"
Witnessing the four anti-gravity rotors slowly unfold, Dr. Banner involuntarily recoiled.
Compared to the dark and oppressive underwater World, he preferred to stay on this shaky flying platform.
The moment the rotors fully extended, whistling air currents directly slammed into the three of them!
"Let's go inside and avoid the wind."
Wang Haoyu silently pressed his wrist, and a light-blue screen projected from his LCD bracelet—this was a new type of Technology Magic equipment he had converted from the knowledge vault. Although the stored spells were currently limited, it was more than enough to block the fierce wind.
"If we stay any longer, we'll be blown away."
Tony stared at the shimmering bracelet, a thorn in his heart. What happened to being a peerless genius? How could this guy always pull out new gadgets?
Dr. Banner pretended not to notice the two vying, and was the first to turn around: "Let's go back inside the cabin."
"You really don't want one?"
Wang Haoyu deliberately shook the bracelet. Tony turned his face away and snorted, "Not interested!" but his mouth couldn't help but twitch. This technique of blending magic and technology was truly... too unfair!
——————
A hidden laboratory somewhere
"What's the progress?"
Loki, clad in golden armor, spun his scepter. The controlled researcher shook his head: "Missing a key element, unable to activate the device."
Loki couldn't help but feel a hint of powerlessness regarding Earthling technology.
The difficulty of tearing through the spatial barrier far exceeded his expectations. He turned his head and glanced at Hawkeye Clint Barton, who was organizing his equipment.
"I have a lead, but I need to know where else this element can be found."
Barton's decisive style was quite appreciated by the Third Princess Loki.
"It's in their company's laboratory, they have this element, before—"
Before the Dr. could finish, Clint had already inspected his compound bow and loaded the special arrows.
Knowing the location was enough, why ask more?
"I need backup."
Barton looked up directly at Loki, his tone grave.
"You'll get what you want." Loki curled into a wicked smile, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.
My dear brother, just watch, I am Asgard's most suitable King!
Soon, Loki Barton's plan was carried out extensively in a certain country, attracting attention.
Everything went as Barton expected; S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly intervened and captured Loki.
With Tony Stark and Wang Haoyu unable to respond to commands, and Dr. Banner's power out of control, Nick Fury dispatched Natasha and Captain Steve, piloting the latest model of the Quinjet, easily escorting Loki back.
The smooth capture made everyone on the Aircraft Carrier feel suspicious.
And while Loki was acting conspicuously, Barton had quietly obtained the target element.
"There's something that needs to be reported."
Seeing everyone assembled, Nick Fury picked up a file and began to speak.
Wang Haoyu casually sipped tea, Tony chewed on cookies and zoned out, Natasha was dejected because her comrade was controlled, Dr. Banner fiddled with a model toy, Thor came to Earth to bring his brother back, and Steve had a grim expression towards everyone.
Facing this group of problematic members, Fury was helpless. After all, these were the Avengersmembers he had personally selected—including, of course, the controlled Clint Barton.
"Two days ago, a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. Base was attacked, and the cosmic treasure 'Tesseract' was ** by an unknown individual who claimed to be a god."
"What's worse, he also abducted my best Agent and a top Dr."
"This guy calls himself a god, and claims to be Loki. The God of Mischief."
"This person is being held on our ship. Now the question is what to do with him!"
Nick Fury said this while slapping the file on the table.
"A god? Isn't he just a thief!"
Tony made no secret of his disdain for the so-called extraterrestrial god.
He truly couldn't understand why the Director would bring such a person into the team.
Pure nonsense!
"He's not a thief, he's my brother! You Earthlings have no right to judge Asgardian royalty. It should be decided by my father, Odin!"
Thor Odinson furiously swung his hammer.
In his eyes, even if Loki made a mistake, he could only be taken back to Asgard for trial. Who were these Earthlings?
"But he stole the Tesseract and abducted two of our elite Agents!"
Captain America Steve also got angry.
Such sneaky behavior, in his opinion, deserved severe punishment.
"What did you say?!"
Thor's veins bulged, and his hammer was about to smash down.
"Everyone calm down!"
Dr. Banner quickly tried to mediate.
Tony ate cookies as if it had nothing to do with him, Natasha looked worried, Nick Fury's face grew darker and darker... the entire room was full of tension.
"If he hears that, it'll surely infuriate him!"
Tony Stark, who always admired Banner, rolled his eyes at Captain America.
Selfless sacrifice? Sorry, Tony wasn't buying it.
"Look at yourself," Thor Odinson and Captain America were arguing fiercely, then Thor turned and sneered at the pale-faced Banner, "They can't even tolerate a monster like you!"
Do you really think those people will accept you? Wishful thinking!
"This is going to go wrong!" Wang Haoyu quickly grabbed the file and scanned it, immediately feeling a huge headache—Thor and Captain America were taking turns stabbing Banner in the heart.
"The one inside me says..." Banner's Adam's apple bobbed, his gloomy gaze sweeping back and forth between the two, "Your words make him very angry."
"Oh no!"
