Chapter 181 Hela's Dimension
Hearing Finney's words, Tony was stunned for a moment before reacting, asking blankly, "A spaceship?"
"Yes!"
Finney looked at the dumbfounded Tony and asked suspiciously, "You don't actually know how to build one, do you?"
"Just a spaceship!"
Tony was annoyed when it came to matters of ability. Before the Battle of New York, he wasn't sure he could build a spaceship, after all, technological breakthroughs aren't something that happen overnight.
But with the reference of Chitauri spacecraft and other technologies, he was much more confident. A large part of the reason he had been able to design new armor so frantically during this period was because of the inspiration he received from alien technology.
However, Tony wasn't sure if Finney was serious or just joking, so he asked again with a serious expression, "Are you really not kidding?"
"Do you know where I was for the past six months?"
Finney sighed, pulling out a photo of Vormir he'd taken on his phone. "I was teleported by the Tesseract to a planet on the edge of the universe, and it took me a lot of effort to get back!"
Tony looked at the photo on his phone with surprise. He believed Finney wouldn't photoshop it to fool him, but he couldn't help asking,
"Where is this? Is there oxygen? What's the gravity and soil like? How's the ecosystem? Are there any living things? Is it possible to immigrate here?"
"This place is deserted, there's nothing there, and it has an owner who doesn't like being disturbed,"
Finney waved his hand, explaining Tony's questions.
"I didn't expect you'd already done interstellar travel!"
Tony looked at Finney, a slightly strange glint in his eyes. He inexplicably didn't want to fall behind Finney, so he pondered for a moment and said, "A spaceship should be possible to build, but I think we'll need a map first."
"A map!"
Finney pondered for a moment, then looked up and replied, "Leave that to me. You focus on building the spaceship first!"
"I feel like I'm crazy to be messing around like this with you!"
Tony patted his cheek lightly. He'd only talked to Finney for a short while, and suddenly they were talking about building a spaceship to explore the universe.
However, the pressure in his heart suddenly lessened considerably. Having someone willing to help him during his period of confusion made him feel incredibly warm.
"Also, do you really know the enemy's location?"
Tony's expression turned serious again. He hadn't forgotten that his initial motivation for doing all this was to protect Earth and its people from harm.
"While I don't know the exact location, there must be someone in the universe who knows,"
Finney replied. Thanos was quite famous in the universe, so finding him shouldn't be too difficult. Tony nodded, not asking any further questions. Since the decision had been made, he would simply carry it out. Besides, he always adhered to one principle:
Do it first, then worry about the consequences !
"Wait for my good news."
With a goal in mind, Tony's eyes lit up. After saying a few words to Finney, he immediately instructed J.a.r.v.i.s, "J.a.r.v.i.s, create a file on the 'Stark Revenge,' and while you're at it, collect blueprints for various spaceships."
"Yes, sir!"
J.a.r.v.i.s obediently followed the order. However, Finney frowned, stopping Tony, who seemed ready to get down to business, and advised, "You should go and rest first. This matter isn't that urgent."
"At the very least, give me some time to find the star map!"
"Also, I'm not Jarvis. If you don't listen to me, I'll call Pepper!"
Although dissatisfied with Finney's threat, Tony ultimately yielded and listened to his advice. The frantic work of the past few days had indeed left him extremely exhausted.
After Tony went to rest, Finney also left the villa with the small arc reactor, while pondering how to obtain the star map.
After much thought, Finney finally realized that it seemed the only hope of obtaining it was from Asgard.
"Should I contact them?"
Finney hesitated. Although Odin had recently shown him goodwill, it was probably only out of respect for the Ancient One, and it likely contained a hint of apology.
After all, Loki was in the wrong first, leading the invasion of Earth.
So, the matter with Loki was now completely settled, and he couldn't guess what Asgard's attitude would be if he went there.
Although they would eventually have to make contact in the future because of the Reality Stone, Finney hoped to do so when he was stronger.
Based on his understanding, Odin was an extremely proud man.
This was evident in Thor and Loki; their initial arrogance was inherited from Odin. Loki's disdain for Earthlings was largely due to Odin's influence.
Thor's inability to meet his Earth girlfriend was also because of Odin's obstruction.
However, while Odin looked down on Earthlings, he didn't arbitrarily despise them and respected capable humans, unlike Loki who completely disregarded Earth.
Therefore, to communicate with Asgardians, one must earn their recognition of one's strength before being entitled to equal dialogue.
Loki had already experienced this; although Thor 'admitted defeat,' he was likely resentful. As for Odin, Finney couldn't guess his attitude.
While his strength could easily defeat Loki, it was insignificant to Odin, as he wasn't Odin's biological son. Only if he could easily defeat the awakened Thor and Hela would Odin truly take him seriously.
However, thinking of Hela, Finney recalled something he had recently discovered.
As his mastery of space grew stronger, so did his perception of dimensions. This led him to explore the first dimension he had encountered while practicing his spells.
After all, aside from the mother leopard, this was the only dimension he could explore.
And since the mother leopard's dimensional control was too strong, he might be discovered and captured if he tried to explore it. Therefore, after much hesitation, he chose this sealed dimension.
Moreover, he was only exploring and didn't intend to open it, so the danger wasn't that high.
After some perception, and combining it with what the Ancient One had said, he suddenly seemed to realize who was sealed inside. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Odin's daughter, Hela.
This result surprised Finney. He didn't go to the Ancient One to confirm, but he felt the probability was over 70%.
Thinking back to how he had once opened Hela's sealed dimension, Finney felt extremely fortunate that she hadn't noticed and had taken the opportunity to escape; otherwise, it would have been a huge problem.
After discovering that Hela was sealed within this dimension, Finney became even more cautious during his exploration, fearing he might accidentally release her. The
Space Stone can interfere with anything related to space, so releasing Hela wouldn't be impossible for Finney if he wanted to.
