Phineas watched Tony Stark on TV, earnestly declaring, "I am Iron Man," as he calmly sipped an iced cola. With Skye around, the refrigerator at home always inexplicably had more things in it.
"He just admitted it?"
Skye, holding her laptop, looked at Phineas with surprise. She had noticed Phineas in the video when it went viral online, as she had also experienced 'Possession of the Evil Spirit'.
So last night, Phineas, who was already asleep, was woken up to give a brief explanation. Therefore, Skye was one of the few who knew the whole truth.
"So what if he admitted it? No one dares to mess with him."
Phineas shrugged, saying indifferently, "He's Tony Stark, the genius who develops weapons, a billionaire. His admission just adds another layer to his halo."
"Did he really build that armor himself?"
Looking at Tony Stark repeatedly playing on TV, along with edited combat footage, Skye couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yeah, this is the second generation. It'll probably be updated soon."
Phineas also looked at Tony on TV, with anticipation. Although the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj had plenty of experience, after grinding for so long, it was time for a change of pace.
"What about your 'Possession of the Evil Spirit'? Can you build another one?"
Skye, still longing for the feeling of flight, looked at him pitifully.
"Sorry, that was the only one."
Phineas glanced sideways and said. In fact, when he became stronger in the future, he might be able to give 'Possession of the Evil Spirit' to Skye, but he was currently as weak as an insect, unable to even protect himself. How could he lend his most important gear for grinding experience to someone else?
"Hmph!"
Skye snorted indignantly, turned her head, and focused on the TV again, converting her frustration into appetite as she ate potato chips and drank cola.
"Eat less. You haven't been exercising lately!"
Although Skye had tried hard to exercise after experiencing 'Possession of the Evil Spirit' some time ago, that period had passed, and her lazy nature had returned at some point. The contents of the refrigerator were proof of this.
"Hmph, it's just one armor. What's the point of me exercising?"
Skye was still thinking about 'Possession of the Evil Spirit', indirectly expressing her unhappiness.
"Don't say that. Exercising is always good." Phineas understood Skye's meaning, so he went along with her thoughts and said with a grin, "What if one day I change my mind and give you 'Possession of the Evil Spirit', but you can't equip it? Wouldn't that be a shame!?"
"You'd give it to me?"
Skye looked at Phineas suspiciously. Ever since she experienced flying last time, she had pestered him several times wanting to experience it again, but Phineas had never agreed.
"Of course!"
Phineas answered without hesitation. If he really didn't need 'Possession of the Evil Spirit' anymore, Skye would definitely be the first choice. Her vibration ability could give her powerful offensive capabilities, and 'Possession of the Evil Spirit' would perfectly complement her defense.
Of course, all this was based on the premise that he would become strong enough not to need 'Possession of the Evil Spirit' anymore, at least to the point where he could easily defeat the Hulk and Thor.
Although Phineas's personality was always bad and he liked to tease her, she could still distinguish between sincerity and jokes in some of his words.
"Okay, I'll exercise diligently."
Skye became full of anticipation again. She didn't know when Phineas would 'change his mind', but since he said so, she believed it would happen someday.
Tony's official announcement as Iron Man didn't have much impact on Phineas's life. Because Tony kept it a secret, S.H.I.E.L.D. still didn't know his identity.
The next morning, on the vibrant campus.
"Morning, Phineas."
"Good morning, Halsey."
Many classmates greeted Phineas, the vast majority of whom were female. After all, his appearance, enhanced by the 'Golden Great Derivation Technique', was enough to attract these young girls brimming with youthful hormones.
Phineas didn't ignore them either, politely smiling and returning the greeting to everyone who greeted him.
"Phineas, I'm having a party this week. Want to come?"
At this moment, a girl with shoulder-length golden curly hair walked over and brightly invited Phineas. Phineas encountered this situation often.
Normally, Phineas would occasionally attend to relax. Although he always refused those who wanted to take advantage of him later that night.
However, considering the two dangerous events he might face soon, Phineas hesitated before shaking his head and replying, "Sorry, Dandy, I have some things to do this weekend and probably won't have time."
"Okay, that's a shame."
Dandy said with disappointment. She was also one of the girls who was attracted to Phineas, and she was quite patient. Phineas had promised to attend a party before, so this refusal didn't make her think too much.
"You're always welcome to come if you have time!"
Dandy winked at Phineas with a smile, then turned and left with a sway of her graceful figure, leaving Phineas shaking his head helplessly.
He could naturally see Dandy's intentions, but he had no plans to get a girlfriend yet.
Sorcerers only need their hands. Opening a portal is so slow, and they still dare to get a girlfriend!?
According to his memories from his previous life, after Iron Man appeared, two more dangerous events followed. The first was Thor's banishment to Earth. This was actually fine, as it was an Asgardian family matter, a dispute over the throne between the third princess and the second prince, which had no significant impact on Earth for the time being.
The other one was more troublesome and happened in New York.
The Hulk, also known as Dr. Banner, was also about to make his debut soon. If he didn't interfere, the Abomination might appear along with him.
Phineas was actually a bit intimidated by the Abomination. With his current strength, his only advantage against the Abomination was flight.
In terms of strength, speed, and recovery, he was likely temporarily inferior to the Abomination. With the Abomination's leaping ability of tens of meters, his aerial advantage wouldn't be of much use.
If he flew a hundred meters into the sky, Abomination wouldn't be able to hit him, but he wouldn't be able to hit Abomination either.
As for preventing Abomination's appearance in advance, that was also quite difficult. Firstly, he didn't know where the professor who made the serum with Banner was. As for using the 'Compass' to search, the cost of sacrifice was too great for him to bear.
The 'Jack Sparrow Compass' points to the place one's heart desires. This desire must be the place one most wants to go, not just a casual thought. Back then, he truly single-mindedly wanted to find the Ancient One. It was only when he thought of Kamar-Taj that he successfully found the New York Sanctum.
Therefore, to find the professor's location, he had to wholeheartedly want to go to the School to see him.
Feeney couldn't bring himself to single-mindedly want to see a man. He had tried this when looking for Tony before, but unfortunately failed. And that was when Tony wasn't particularly ugly.
Feeney wasn't so great as to sacrifice himself for a mere Abomination. Moreover, even if Abomination was born, Hulk would still be there. At worst, he could just go help out.
He could add buffs for Hulk, feed him, and send him equipment from the sidelines. He didn't believe they couldn't defeat Abomination.
