Chapter 129: Iron Man’s Brainstorm

The Skrulls

As early as the 1990s, the Skrulls had already been lurking on Earth!

This alien race possesses the innate ability to shapeshift, allowing them to copy the appearance of others and transform at both the genetic and iris levels. They can even replicate short-term memories.

Modern technology makes it almost impossible to distinguish them, and he has long been aware of the threat posed by the Skrulls. Since he cannot stop them, he can only cooperate with them.

To gain the Skrulls' trust, he also promised to find them a new home.

However,

The resources and living space of any planet are limited.

Earth does not have the ability to leave the solar system, so how can it possibly fulfill this promise?

He has an extremely close relationship with General Skrull and Talos; it is no exaggeration to say that they are revolutionary partners.

As long as Talos is alive, the Skrulls will not get out of control. What kind of trouble can they cause?

However…

Orion mentioned this past event and deliberately pointed out the consequences, which made him feel conflicted, and his face was full of gloom.

Could it be that the Skrulls will attack Earth sooner or later?

"That's right."

"No one is stupid, Fury."

"There are radicals and conservatives among the Skrulls. Sooner or later, when dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain level, it will be like a volcanic eruption, and everything will be out of control."

"If there is a real possibility of a Third World War, it will be the work of the Skrulls."

Orion's tone was flat.

Every word and action exuded the mystery of omniscience, without any explanation or pretense.

If the Ancient One were here, she would definitely find out that 'Orion… was actually imitating me?'.

"The Third World War…"

"Fury."

"You actually cooperated with aliens."

"Who else knows about this?"

Steve Rogers' eyes darkened.

The Second World War caused unprecedented disaster and destruction, and the wounds have not healed to this day.

If World War III breaks out, with the advancement of technology and military weapons, I'm afraid that only one in a hundred people will survive.

"Only my confidant, Maria Hill, knows."

Nick Fury smiled wryly.

His little secret was revealed by Orion!

Even though Orion was unfathomable, Fury still felt a little guilty in front of him!

"Where are the Skrulls?"

"Since Orion has the ability to teleport, wouldn't it be a win-win for everyone if he teleports the Skrulls away?"

Tony Stark's eyes lit up.

As soon as these words were spoken,

Both Steve Rogers and Nick Fury couldn't help but have sparkling eyes!

Especially Nick Fury, who doesn't have the ability to fulfill his promise and find a new home.

But…

This acting Supreme Mage can definitely do it!

"That being said…"

"Excuse me, Fury, are you willing to live without the help of the Skrulls?"

"If the Skrulls have no intention of leaving Earth, is it necessary to resort to violence?"

"Even your companion Talos cannot control the will and thoughts of every Skrull."

"It's better to prepare yourself mentally as soon as possible."

Orion shrugged.

Even if Orion is willing to lend a helping hand, the Skrulls will only think that this is a trap set by Nick Fury!

The 'chain of suspicion' is deeply rooted in every living being.

That's human nature!

Who can fight human nature?

If all problems could be easily solved, there would be no world wars at all.

"I'll talk to Talos."

Nick Fury was one again shocked.

Orion…He actually knew about Talos's existence!

This made him feel very emotional.

He immediately made the most correct decision of his life. He must not offend Orion. On the contrary, he had to cling to Orion!

Give everything he has to protect the safety of the Sorcerer Temple.

"Huh."

"Greenwich Village…"

"It seems that I have received a proposal from Midtown Circle Financial Corporation, which intends to buy all the land on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village and turn it into another Times Square."

"As a brand new landmark building in New York."

Nick Fury suddenly remembered.

This is one of the recent news events in New York!

Even Tony Stark has heard of it.

However, he did not take it seriously. Although Midtown Circle Financial Corporation had a huge market value and size, it did not have any real industries under its name and was not within his consideration at all.

But when it comes to Bleecker Street…

It is conceivable that there must be something else behind this!

"Central City Circle Financial Company?"

"Tsk."

"I see."

"This is important information, Fury."

"I owe you a favor."

Orion nodded slightly.

Midtown Circle Financial Corporation.

Located in Hell's Kitchen on the West Side of Manhattan!

The distance between Greenwich Village and Hell's Kitchen is only three or five blocks.

From a business perspective, it is completely understandable that Midtown Circle Financial Company intends to purchase the Bleecker Street land!

However,

Midtown Circle Financial Company is not a legitimate company at all. It was founded by Alexandra, the leader of the Hand!

This notorious Japanese assassin group.

Secretly worships a dimensional demon [Beast].

There is no doubt that Orion's worries have come true. The Midtown Circle Financial Company attempted to raze the New York Temple to the ground through commercial activities!

And About all this…Kamar-Taj was totally unaware!

If Nick Fury hadn't revealed it, Orion would have remained in the dark. By the time he wanted to thwart the plan, it might have already been accomplished!

"Orion."

"I will use my power to stop the plan of Central City Circle Financial Company. Please rest assured."

"Nothing can go wrong at the New York Temple."

Nick Fury straightened his back and finally reached the area where he was good at.

Thanks to his friendship with the Secretary-General of the Security Council, nothing was a problem at all.

"The importance of the Sorcerer Temple is self-evident."

"The three holy temples are located on key spiritual vein nodes of the Earth, forming a circular whole that can intercept the invasion of the dimensional lords."

"Behind the Central City Circle Financial Company, there is actually a primitive dimension lord."

"I suggest you don't rashly provoke this company."

Orion reminded again and again.

Instantly, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem!

It turned out that… Midtown Financial Company believes in a demon lord?!

"Dimension Lord?"

"Is the parallel universe theory true?"

"Will the Dimension Lords invade Earth sooner or later?"

Tony Stark's eyes flickered.

He vaguely understood the crisis that Orion mentioned!

It might be related to the Dimension Lord!

So, how can we protect the Earth and stay away from danger?

In a flash,

A brilliant idea flashed through Tony Stark's mind.

He wants to put a layer of steel armor on the Earth!

'Earth Armor Plan'.

Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts, who had long been unable to keep up with the pace of the crowd, simply walked aside and began to direct the cleaning staff to clear the plates.

But Orion shook his head and replied, "The parallel universe theory is true, but the Dimension Lords are not from parallel universes. You can imagine the universe as a thousand-layer cake, with countless dimensions forming a whole."

"In short, the Dimension Lords all possess enormous power, enough to shake the entire reality and easily destroy all civilizations. They are tantamount to the rules themselves."

"Alright."

"There is no point in talking any more."

"Tony, what do you think of the power ring?"

Orion's eyes were filled with anticipation.

[The One Cursed by Knowledge] will surely make his ideas come true!

"Huh."

"The energy ring is a magical weapon, so first of all, we have to overcome three difficulties: materials, energy, and procedures."

"The materials must have magical properties and be durable. They cannot be damaged in battle. Otherwise, it will be meaningless."

"Energy is the power source of magic weapons. This is easy to solve. I have developed a new type of pure energy through my father's legacy."

"In simple terms, the procedure is the interaction between soldiers and magic weapons. We certainly can't ask every soldier to study esoteric magic before going into battle, right?"

Tony thought for a moment and then explained.

I have to say that the three problems he mentioned all hit the nail on the head!

He is an arms expert, and even if Stark Industries shut down its weapons research and development department, it cannot change this fact.

Therefore, if we think about the realization of energy rings from the perspective of modern weapons, we can quickly come to a conclusion.

"Good."

"That's what I'm concerned about."

Orion nodded.

He was indeed not mistaken about this [Person Cursed by Knowledge]!

Instantly, he helped him sort out the key aspects of the energy ring and pointed out a reasonable research direction!

"What material is this sling ring made of?"

"It doesn't appear to be any known metal."

Stark looked suspiciously.

Could it be made of vibranium?

"According to my understanding, its material should be produced in the Ta Lo hidden Realm."

"The Ta Lo Realm is rich in a kind of magical metal."

"During the smelting and forging process, the spatial magic array is engraved inside. Through ancient techniques, a natural sling ring like this can be obtained."

Orion smiled.

He didn't need to start from scratch.

Instead, based on the foundation of the sling ring, an energy ring was created!

This greatly reduced the difficulty of the research. However, he had no idea how to make the sling ring have the ability to attack. It seemed that he had to start with the runes!

The mystic magic array originated from the runes.

Runes

It is the authentic source code of the universe.

Each rune has multiple meanings and can also unleash unparalleled power.

Moreover, he had already mastered the rune of power and could draw energy from the power gem anytime and anywhere.

If he could combine the power rune and the sling ring, the energy ring he envisioned would most likely become a reality!

As the acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, it is reasonable for him to contribute his part. The overall level of Kamar-Taj is also mixed.

Ordinary guardian sorcerers account for 50% of the total number; the remaining 40% are apprentices, and only 10% are masters of the mystic arts! Without the assistance of the entry system, becoming a master of the mystic arts would take at least a year and a half, and at most ten to eight years!

However, even masters of the mystic arts cannot resist the passage of time, and if they are seriously injured in battle, they will have to retreat to the second line.

For example, Master Hamill plays a logistical role in Kamar-Taj.

This is completely different from the Asgardians; they are not even on the same level.

Once the research on the energy ring is successful, each guardian sorcerer will have an energy ring and will possess the magical power of a master of the mystic arts, which will make Kamar-Taj's overall strength soar!

In this way, even if Casillas and Baron Mordo rebel, there will be no need for the Ancient One to take action personally; the guardian sorcerers can handle the situation.

"Ta Lo Hidden Realm? Magic Metal?"

"Magic metal actually exists?"

Tony's eyes sparkled.

If he could collect a large amount of magic metal, wouldn't he be able to create magical armor?

Even his Earth Armor Plan could be put on the agenda?

"Where is the Ta Lo Hidden Realm?"

"I've never heard of that name," Nick Fury said blankly.

During conversations with Orion, hidden knowledge and unknown terms frequently appeared, which made him feel uncomfortable and as though he was being outmatched intellectually.

"Hidden Realm exist all over the world; just like houses, there are always unknown corners."

"This is also a space created by the Earth's spiritual veins."

"It is only possible to enter and exit this space through specific means and channels."

"Anyway, I will be responsible for the preparation of magic materials and the enchantment of the sling ring, and you, Mr. Stark, will only need to do the work for me."

"As for the reward…"

"Not only will you get a power ring, but you'll also receive a large amount of magic metal."

Orion quoted a price with a smile on his face, quietly waiting for Tony Stark's reply.

If Tony chooses to refuse…

Then, Orion can also look for other partners. After all, there are many super geniuses in the Marvel universe, and he himself is also a super genius!

[Super Genius] (Purple): You have superior wisdom, unparalleled creativity, and extraordinary talents that lead the world. You are a true super genius!
