But after thinking about it, he decided against it. It wasn't that he was embarrassed to steal Tony Stark's Pepper.
More than that, Pepper simply didn't fit Michael's aesthetic. Tony Stark had no idea how many thoughts had raced through Michael's mind in that short moment.
He even considered stealing Pepper.
Fortunately, Tony Stark didn't know, and Michael would never tell him that he wasn't interested in that face...
"In that case, I'll be going first!"
"Admiral Rupert, I will contact you to make arrangements as soon as possible!"
"Stay in touch. I'll notify you when the Green Monster causes chaos in New York!"
Clink. The soft clinking of two wine glasses symbolized the slow unfurling of the Marvel curtain.
If the appearance of Iron Man represented the opening of the Marvel World,
Then the appearance of the Hulk marked the official start of the show!
"Oh, and remember to return the way you came!"
"I don't want a large group of reporters, Agents, and such surrounding this estate later."
"White, remember to show Mr. Tony the way."
Putting down his wine glass, Michael's lips curled into a smile as he watched Tony Stark already inside the Mark IV, the suit rapidly closing around him, and he teased.
"Yes, sir!"
"Route planned. Mr. Tony, please proceed in the direction of the projected arrows!"
White's voice immediately rang out, and at the same time, a series of virtual directional arrows were projected in the room, guiding Iron Man's path.
"Fuck!"
"I'm going to blow up this damned estate sooner or later!"
"I am the famous, beloved Iron Man!"
"Not some rat that can't be seen and can only scurry around underground!"
Hearing Michael's taunt and seeing White's actions, Tony Stark immediately flew into a rage.
What a damned idea! Someone actually didn't want any association with the famous Iron Man! Fuck!
Controlling his suit, he made an internationally recognized gesture towards Michael, and the Mark IV immediately activated, flying away along the virtual arrows.
"Tsk."
Michael grinned at Tony's childishness, completely unfazed.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
Using his super hearing, he heard Tony Stark's curses.
Using his super vision, he 'saw' with his own eyes that Tony Stark, the Iron Man, could only move forward in the 'narrow' spiral tunnel, unable to even turn around.
Only then did Michael smile and deactivate these two superpowers.
Super vision was fine; he could control what he saw and how he saw it as he pleased.
But super hearing was a real pain. Michael, who hadn't fully mastered its control, would have all sorts of chaotic sounds drilling into his ears if he didn't actively deactivate this superpower.
Even hiding a thousand meters underground was useless; this ability was simply abnormal!
There was no other way; Michael could only activate this ability when needed and had to keep super hearing off normally.
The reason was that Michael had been training on Venus before. Although there were also some noisy sounds on Venus, how could those sounds compare to the entire Earth?
How many people were on Venus? What creatures were on Venus?
Therefore, after a period of training on Venus, Michael adapted and mastered all other abilities, but only super hearing held him back.
Of course, if he really wanted to train and master this ability, Michael only needed to keep it on.
With his strong physical fitness and the assistance of his super brainpower, mastering this ability wouldn't be too difficult.
The only cost would be a buzzing in his head for a few days!
And that's it? Get lost! Michael stated, 'I'm not here to be a superhero, what do I need super hearing for? To eavesdrop?'
An ability that wasn't very useful and would be uncomfortable to master, why bother mastering it!
Just thinking about the countless sounds constantly buzzing in his head, Michael wanted nothing to do with this ability!
Michael even wanted to remove this ability.
But then he thought that it had cost energy, so he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
"White."
"I'm going out. Bring a car over."
After staying on Venus, a place where not even a bird existed, for three days, Michael felt an urgent impulse to mingle with people.
"Yes, sir!"
"Which vehicle would you like to take, sir?"
White's voice immediately rang out, asking Michael.
White's main body was still in his Space Station residence on Venus.
The reason White could appear in the estate was naturally because Michael had materialized a pair of quantum communication devices, one placed in the Venus Space Station, and the other, of course, in the underground server array of this estate.
The larger and more intelligent an estate, even just a Villa, couldn't do without a corresponding server computing and processing center.
The estate under Michael's feet naturally had an even larger array!
As for power consumption? Come on, people who can afford this kind of estate wouldn't lack that bit of electricity bill...
"Hmm..."
"Let's take that knight xv."
Michael pondered for a moment. The estate was quite large; he couldn't possibly walk everywhere, nor could he teleport everywhere.
"Yes, sir."
"The knight xv has been started. It will arrive at the gate by the time you reach it."
"Alright!"
Michael nodded, stood up, and walked towards the stairs.
Although the knight xv had undergone extensive modifications when Michael materialized it, Michael hadn't thought about making it fly at the time.
In fact, after taking over the estate yesterday, Michael had made major changes to the entire estate!
Having the mutated gem was great; he only needed to provide 'a little' energy, and the entire estate transformed into exactly what Michael wanted.
In the estate's massive garage, all the cars Michael was interested in were materialized by him.
Michael didn't care whether these sports cars, off-road vehicles, combat vehicles, or armored vehicles had been produced in this World.
Not only the knight xv, but even the batmobile from the World, Michael materialized one!
It's just that the batmobile was too conspicuous and dazzling, so Michael thought about it and decided against it.
The knight xv was already very noticeable; driving out a batmobile would surely attract everyone's attention...
Boom, boom, boom. The huge engine roar grew from distant to near.
Just as Michael stepped out the main door, the knight xv, with an unstoppable charge, rushed to his side.
Screech...! With a sudden stop, the knight xv parked steadily beside Michael.
Click. The driver's side door opened in response.
Bang! Michael lightly leaped in, got in, and closed the door.
"Switch to manual driving!"
He whispered, and the steering wheel, clutch, brake, accelerator, gearbox, and so on slowly popped out.
The seat automatically adjusted to Michael's sitting posture, and in a moment, the adjustment was complete.
"Smart technology is... great!" Michael exclaimed.
Before he transmigrated, Michael had bought a small, beat-up car, but he clearly hadn't enjoyed such advanced intelligence!
"Serving you is Taibai's most fundamental job!"
"Your positive feedback is the best affirmation for Taibai!"
Taibai's voice echoed in the car, bringing a smile to Michael's face.
Speaking of which, Michael had initially considered upgrading Taibai to a higher level of intelligence, even transforming it into a sentient AI similar to Vision.
However, after thinking about Ultron, Michael abandoned that idea.
Taibai's current level of intelligence was actually... the best; it could handle most problems for him, such as keeping the entire manor in perfect order, without him having to worry about it suddenly wanting to destroy the World or causing other trouble.
Although, in Michael's opinion, Ultron's birth was very likely due to Thanos meddling with the Mind Stone behind the scenes.
After all, the Mind Stone had been in Thanos's hands for many years, and as Thanos was Skyfather Level in his normal state, Michael didn't believe Thanos wouldn't have tampered with the Mind Stone.
But this only further highlighted Tony Stark's tragedy, didn't it?
"Give me directions to... the Group headquarters!"
"Yes, sir!"
Rumble rumble rumble!
"Let's go!"
Pressing the accelerator to the floor, the knight xv immediately shot forward!
