"Sir," Doctor Banner said, taking off his glasses, which fell to the ground and transformed into a mechanical dog that ran away into the distance, "This is not a good idea."

Doctor Banner's body began to turn green and grow taller.

The bulging muscles tore the shirt, but the underwear remained intact.

Finally, a 100-meter-tall green Giant appeared on the spot, "Hulk!"

The entire sky seemed to darken, leaving only the heavy breathing of the Giant.

Everyone in Tarot Village instinctively took a step back.

Dijiang feigned death.

The Qilin leaped into the water.

The Nine-Tailed Fox uses its tail to cover its eyes and body.

The fierce Suanni sat down properly and transformed into a docile kitten, almost wagging its tail.

Even Doctor Banner from a parallel universe would be astonished to see the Hulk is hundreds of meters tall.

However, this is not because the people of Tarot Village are cowardly.

Because Ta Lo, which is practiced by everyone, and these Pinduoduo-branded mythical beasts have very sensitive senses.

The sound of that enormous heartbeat was like millions of drums beating at the same time.

They could clearly sense that the Giant before them was not created by magic, but was a real creature made of flesh and bones.

That would be terrible.

Because of the existence of the Duel Arena, the Ta Lo in this universe is not as illiterate as it seems. The four thousand years of history is no longer just a verbal introduction, but has truly been materialized.

Because they are more enthusiastic about martial arts, they focus more on disciplines related to martial arts, such as biology and ergonomics.

According to the square- Cosmic Cube law, when the size of an object increases proportionally, its surface area increases squarely and its volume increases Cosmic Cube.

When an animal grows proportionally in size, its skin surface area (which relates to heat dissipation efficiency) and bone cross-sectional area (which relates to bone support capacity) increase quadratically.

At the cellular level, there is no difference in magnitude.

A mosquito's weight is only a fraction of that of a human, but its individual cells are not much smaller than a human's.

Because regardless of body size, mosquitoes and humans experience the same fundamental forces such as gravity and Lorentz force.

This directly results in mosquito and human cells being on the same order of magnitude in size.

Humans are N times larger than mosquitoes because humans have N times more cells than mosquitoes, not because the same number of cells are magnified N times.

Humans are large and have many cells, which limits their ability to cope with various problems, such as gravity and blood supply.

The same applies to the Giant before us.

The largest blue whale on Earth is only 33 meters long. Moreover, it cannot support its huge body with its own bones and muscles alone. It can only stay in the water for a long time and rely on the buoyancy of the water to support itself. If it is put on the ground, it will not suffocate, but it will die from internal bleeding due to the pressure of its weight on its internal organs.

The Giant in front of us is 100 meters tall.

He would then need to overcome various problems brought about by his height and physique: how the skeleton supports the body, impact resistance, blood supply, how the flesh and blood adhere to the skeleton without falling off, how to react quickly, heat dissipation, and so on.

First, consider how the skeleton supports the body. At such a height, the weight must be close to 100,000 tons, even if it is estimated at the very least. Yet, the Giant in front of us still has normal human proportions, which means that the cross-sectional area of the leg bones has only increased by 10,000 times, while the load per unit cross-sectional area is 100 times that of the original.

Considering the stress on bones, even carbon nanotube composite materials, the hardest titanium alloys are still too brittle for making bones.

Secondly, there is the ability to withstand impact.

Ants can survive falling from a height of 100 meters not because they are hard, but because they are small and light enough.

The same principle applies to how a three-year-old child can fall and be fine, while an adult often suffers a head injury and bleeding.

With twice the height, eight times the weight, and twice the center of gravity, the total gravitational potential energy is 16 times, while the landing contact area is only 4 times that.

This is also why adult elephants and giraffes are prone to death when they fall.

Next comes the blood supply.

Giraffes are only 4 to 6 meters tall, but their blood pressure is three times that of humans. They have also evolved structures such as jugular vein valves to prevent backflow and very tight and strong leg skin, but they still try to avoid bending their heads down to drink water.

The Giant before them was a hundred meters tall, and the blood flowing through his body was incredibly smooth, without any stagnation.

Then comes the attachment of flesh and blood.

It must be a material with strong interaction forces. The surface is not a single, solid piece as it appears, but rather arranged on the body surface like chainmail to ensure a relatively flexible body. Inside, it must form various intricate and densely packed supports to ensure stability during movement.

And rapid response, and heat dissipation.

This would require abandoning the carbon-based cellular structure, and the reaction system could also use nerves, but even the densest nerves would cause delays.

It must be an 'electrical wire', because electromagnetic fields travel at the speed of light in space, which allows him to flexibly control his body.

If this is the case, blood supply, rapid response, and heat dissipation will not be problems.

But the Giant in front of us is clearly a carbon-based life form.

And it stands firmly on the ground without collapsing.

This is simply...

Could it be that he has Biokinetic Field like Superman in the human world comics?

This was completely beyond their common sense. Even dragons rely on the Dragon Power, so what was this green Giant all about?

So, as Doctor Strange emerged from the Hulk's large hand, looking down at them, a middle-aged woman in a blue jacket with braided pigtails quickly leaped out, shouting, "Guang Bo!"

She first pretended to stop them, and after the old man, known as Guang Bo, bowed and stepped back, she asked kindly, "I am Ying Nan, the current Ta Lo Guardian. May I ask what brings you here?"

"We must kill the darkness behind the stone gate," Doctor Strange said, spreading his hands and then casting the Agamotto's Ring, a spell that can be used as a shield and to amplify other spells as an opening move. "I am the Sorcerer Supreme."

The crowd instantly erupted into chaos. Protecting that stone gate was a duty and mission ingrained in their bones since childhood.

For a moment, they forgot their fear.

Some of the older men would draw their bows directly, the arrowheads flashing red.

"Stop!" Ying Nan shouted immediately. "He's from Kamar-Taj, this is their mission."

As the guardian of the Ta Lo, she also knew about Kamar-Taj.

Seeing the crowd obediently disperse, Doctor Strange nodded in satisfaction.

In the future he envisioned, without Tony and his friends' trash talk directly initiating battles, only the Hulk could effectively deter them, preventing chaos and casualties.

Although he didn't understand why Ant-Man, who also had an enlarged body, couldn't do it, that didn't stop him from following the clues.

After all, this is why Ying Nan, the only one who knows about Kamar-Taj, would appear and be rational enough to listen to him.

Only then did he have the opportunity to reveal his identity.

In most of the future, during the inevitable resistance war, the people of Tarot Village suffered heavy casualties. When he revealed his identity, Ying Nan pretended not to hear him and directly summoned the dragon, going mad as if he wanted to perish together with it.

However, Doctor Strange was so happy because it proved the Prophecy to be true.

As long as we follow his plan.

However, a boy who is also a creation of the Sorcerer Supreme, the boy he cannot see, has begun to disrupt the entire chessboard.

"Harry is in the White House!" Ron exclaimed in surprise.

If it were the original him, he definitely wouldn't know what the White House was.

But with Peter Parker, his roommate from Queens New York, he knew what the White House meant.

Parallel Captain America didn't think there was anything wrong with telling the child.

Wizards are not entirely considered creations of the Sorcerer Supreme.

There is a cloned brain in Doctor Strange's prophecy at the Hogsmeade Kamar-Taj office that also takes the wizarding world into account.

Everything was within Doctor Strange's expectations. If he really shouldn't have said it, Doctor Strange would have warned him in advance or prevented them from returning to Hogwarts.

His other self, Peggy Bucky, is on Earth. People from the same universe as him are working in the Forbidden Forest, and he happens to be on a break, which makes this lonely old man feel a bit lonely.

Also, he understood the feelings Ron conveyed to Harry in his words, just as he did with Bucky.

Most importantly, Ron's surname Weasley, and he has impeccable lineage. Even though he has only recently arrived in this universe, he knows about the Weasley family. Furthermore, Ron himself is simple-minded, like a blank sheet of paper, and can be easily seen through.

"It's no big deal," Parallel Captain America said. "The Earth is empty right now, even the city of Atlantis in the Deep is deserted."

"Tony said it seems to be related to some concept, symbolic magic."

"But if that's the case, why not choose the architecture of the four ancient civilizations?"

"I still can't get used to things that are superstitious or mystical."

"Even if I could do it right now."

"Is it alchemy?" Ron asked excitedly. "I heard he's called Iron Man. Did he also make a set of Professor Stark's armor for Harry?"

His eyes were full of longing. When watching live broadcasts of the Starry World, he was fascinated by the various cool mechs.

"Tony has considered it," Parallel Captain America said with a smile, "But the materials for the Space Manipulator are also difficult to gather, making it hard to build two sets. Tony also doesn't have time to convert ordinary materials."

"So."

"Is it magic?" Ron asked. "Kamar-Taj? Is it the Dimensional Mirror? The Agamotto's Ring? The Winds of Watoomb? The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak? The Serpent's Eye of Ekron? The Shield of the Seraphim? The Lightning of Bostath? The Ancient One's Body of Hoggoth? Or the Crimson Bow of Vishanti?"

If there's one thing that interests him most in this universe besides the armor, it's the cool spells of Kamar-Taj.

If it weren't for the need to borrow the power of the Dimensional Demon God and to support himself by understanding calculation and transformation, he would have learned it long ago.

Parallel Captain America hesitated for a moment, but continued, "The Space Stone, the crystallized power that Tony extracted by deciphering magic with it."

"The Space Stone." Ron was somewhat disappointed.

He was rather bored with the Six Infinity Stones.

After all, he was born and raised in the magical world, and he had seen magic and tools that could control space and manipulate time.

The existence of the ghost and the Transfiguration further dispelled his enchantment of the six gems.

Seeing Ron's calm reaction, Captain America lowered his guard slightly.

"Is this the embodiment of the underworld of this universe?" Doctor Banner had already returned to his original form, and the clothes he was wearing were created by his own Transfiguration. Looking at the giant beast that was bound by scarlet chains covered with dense runes that seemed to have grown out of the void, he said, "It's like a dragon, like in our culture."

If Ron were there, he would be astonished; this was indeed the "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" he had mentioned, also known as the "Crimson Belt of Cyttorak."

Cyttorak, on the other hand, is the lord of the Crimson Cosmos and the most powerful demon in the Multiverse. In the comics, he was once even described as stronger than the Living Tribunal.

Doctor Strange in this universe undoubtedly brought this magic to its extreme, with the chains originating directly from the Crimson Cosmos, rather than passing through his frail body and being used like a melee mage.

This is almost equivalent to Cyttorak himself descending into the material world and creating chains with his own energy. Naturally, these are the behemoths manifested in the Tarot Dimension's underworld, from which there is no way to break free.

Now, the gate made of Dragon Scales has been opened.

The countless offspring of the giant beasts that flew out provided a feast for the Suanni living near the water.

They were transformed into butterflies by the Transfiguration veil that Doctor Strange placed on the lake's surface. Most of them fell into the lake and were eaten by the dragon at the bottom. A few that escaped to the shore fell into the gaping maws of the Suanni.

Doctor Banner glanced at the white dragon. "Since they're both dragons, it would be more appropriate to change the Ta Lo to Dragon Kingdom."

"[The Crimson Bow of Vishanti]!"

Upon hearing the sound, Doctor Banner turned around and saw the sword of fire and light soaring into the sky, and complained, "Why did you have to shout out the name of the move?"

Doctor Strange, his entire body enveloped in a lightsaber and his hands clasped together above his head, said, "This makes it more ceremonial."

He turned his head and said to the giant dragon with two L-shaped horns on the side of its mouth, "It's time to go." He then swung his arms down with swords of fire and light.

Representing White Magic, the Vishanti, the orthodox source of magic in Kamar-Taj, the perfect combination of the energies of these three deities forming a sword of fire and light, is naturally something that the dragons of the yin aspect of the Tarot Dimension cannot contend with.

The dragon was split in two, and together with its offspring, it turned into smoke.

The villagers on the shore seemed to hear a mournful cry, an inexplicable sadness.

But soon, this sorrow was overshadowed by the joy of seeing the giants die and their beginnings of rejuvenation.

"I'm young again!" The speaker was the old man who had been called Guang Bo just moments before, but now he looked like a young man again. "Don't call me Guang Bo anymore, call me Guang Bo."

"What's the difference?" Doctor Banner, who understood Dragon Country but not much, complained.

"One is his name, and the other is his name plus the abbreviation of his uncle," said Doctor Strange, who reappeared on the shore.

"Thank you," Ying Nan, now a sixteen-year-old girl, said with a happy expression, "Revered Sorcerer Supreme."

Inside a battleship tens of light-years away from Earth.

"Sir, another message has come from Number One."

The tall figure in the shadows swept the area, then the Soul Stone gleamed in its left eye socket. "Oh, the Space Stone. I think I know what they're planning. But first, they need to figure out which one of me is who I am."
