Iron Man's Wild Idea

Skrulls.

They had already infiltrated Earth as early as the 1990s!

This alien race possesses an innate ability to shapeshift, enabling them to replicate the appearance of others and perform genetic and iris-level alterations.

Even short-term memories can be copied.

With modern technology, it's almost impossible to distinguish them, but he had long been aware of the Skrulls threat. Since he couldn't stop the Skrulls, he could only cooperate with them!

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

However.

Resources and living space are limited on any planet.

Earth doesn't even have the capability to leave the Solar System, so how could it possibly fulfill this promise?

His relationship with General Skrull and Talos was extremely close; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them revolutionary partners.

As long as Talos is alive, the Skrulls will not get out of control; what trouble could they possibly cause?

But...

Chen Ji brought up this past event and deliberately pointed out the consequences, which made him feel complicated and his face was filled with gloom.

Could it be that the Skrulls will eventually attack Earth?!

"That's right."

"Nobody's a fool, Fury."

" Among the Skrulls, there are radicals and conservatives. Sooner or later, when the discontent accumulates to a certain point, it will be like a volcanic eruption, and everything will be out of control."

"What If...? a third world war were to break out, it would certainly be the Skrulls' doing."

Chen Ji's tone was flat.

Every word and action exuded an air of Omniscience, offering neither explanation nor deliberate mystification.

If the Ancient One were here, he would surely discover that Chen... is actually imitating me?!

"The Third World War..."

"Fury."

"You actually cooperated with aliens."

"Does anyone else know about this?"

Steve Rogers's gaze darkened.

World War II caused unprecedented disaster and destruction, and the wounds have yet to heal.

If World War III were to break out, with advancements in technology and military weaponry, the post-war population would likely be reduced to less than one in a hundred!

"Only my trusted confidante Maria Hill knows."

Nick Fury gave a wry smile.

His little secret has been completely exposed by Chen Ji!

Even though he Immeasurable Depths, he still felt a little guilty in front of Chen Ji!

Where are the Skrulls?

"Since Chen possesses teleportation abilities, wouldn't it be a win-win situation if he could teleport the Skrulls away?"

Tony Stark's eyes darted around.

Upon hearing this statement...

Steve Rogers and Nick Fury couldn't help but gleam in their eyes!

Especially Nick Fury, who lacked the ability to keep his promises and was unable to find a new home.

But...

This Acting Sorcerer Supreme can definitely do it!

That being said...

"Fury, are you content without the Skrulls' help?"

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

"Even your partner Talos cannot control the will and thoughts of every Skrulls."

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

Chen Ji shrugged.

Even if Chen Ji were willing to lend a helping hand, the Skrulls would only think it was Nick Fury's trap!

The 'chain of suspicion' is rooted deep within the Mind Stone of every living being.

That's human nature!

Who can defy human nature?

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

"I'll talk to Talos."

Nick Fury was shocked.

List...

They even knew about Talos's existence!

This stirred up a storm of emotions within him.

He immediately made the best decision of his life: he absolutely could not offend Chen Ji; on the contrary, he had to cling to Chen Ji's coattails!

We will give our all to protect the safety of the Sorcerer Sanctum!

"Huh."

"Etc."

Greenwich Village...

"It seems I've received a proposal from Midtown Circle Financial Company, who intends to buy all the land on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village and develop 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 had heard of it.

However, he didn't take it to heart. Although Midtown Circle Financial Company had a huge market value and size, it didn't have any real businesses under its name, so it wasn't even within his scope of consideration.

But it involves Bleecker Street...

It's easy to imagine that there must be something else going on behind the scenes!

"Midtown Circle Financial Company?"

"Tsk."

"I see."

"This is important intelligence, Fury."

"Consider it a favor I owe you."

Chen Ji nodded slightly.

Midtown Circle Financial Company.

Hell's Kitchen, located in Manhattan's West Side!

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

From a business perspective, Midtown Circle Financial Company's intention to purchase the Bleecker Street site is entirely understandable!

However.

Midtown Circle Financial Company is not a legitimate company at all; its founder is Alexandra, the finger of the Hand!

This infamous Japanese assassin group.

They secretly worship a Primordial Demon.

[Beast]!

Undoubtedly, Chen Ji's fears have come true: Midtown Circle Financial Company is attempting to raze the New York Sanctum to the ground through commercial activities!

And all of this...

Kamar-Taj was completely unaware!

Without Nick Fury's revelation, Chen Ji would likely have been kept in the dark, and by the time he tried to obstruct the plan, it might already be a done deal!

"List."

"I will use my power to stop Midtown Circle Financial Company's plans, please rest assured."

"The New York Sanctum will absolutely not suffer any mishaps."

Nick Fury straightened his back and finally entered his area of expertise.

With his friendship with the Secretary-General of the Security Council, none of this is a problem.

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

"The Three Sanctums are located on key Leyline Nodes of Earth, forming a cyclical whole capable of intercepting the invasion of Dimension Lord."

"Behind Midtown Circle Financial Company lies a Primordial Demon."

"I advise you not to provoke this company rashly."

Chen Ji repeatedly gave instructions.

This instantly made everyone realize the seriousness of the problem!

Turn out to be...

Midtown Circle Financial Company, does it worship a demon?!

"Dimension Lord?"

Is the parallel universe theory also true?

"Will Dimension Lord invade Earth sooner or later?"

Tony Stark's eyes flickered.

He vaguely understood the crisis that Chen Ji had mentioned!

It's probably related to the Dimension Lord!

So, how exactly can we protect our planet and keep it away from danger?

In the blink of an eye.

Tony Stark had a wildly imaginative idea.

He wants to clothe the Earth in a layer of Iron Man Armor!

'Earth Armor Project'!

Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts, having long since fallen behind the crowd, simply stepped aside and began directing the cleaning staff to clear away the plates.

But Chen Ji shook his head and replied, "The parallel universe theory is true, but the Dimension Lord do not come from parallel universes. You can think of the universe as a layered cake, with countless dimensions forming a whole."

"In short, Dimension Lord possess immense power, enough to shake the entire reality and easily destroy all civilizations; they are no different from the rules themselves."

"Alright."

"Further discussion is pointless."

"Tony, what are your thoughts on the Energy Ring?"

Chen Ji's eyes were filled with anticipation.

[The Cursed by Knowledge] will surely be able to turn his ideas into reality!

"Call."

"Since the Energy Ring is a magical weapon, we must first overcome three major challenges: materials, energy, and programming."

"The materials must possess magical properties, be durable, and not be damaged in battle; otherwise, it will be meaningless."

"Energy, the power source of magical weapons, is easy to solve. I have already developed a pure new energy source using my father's legacy."

"In simple terms, a program is the interaction between soldiers and magical weapons. We certainly can't expect every soldier to study Secret Art Magic before going into battle, can we?"

Tony for a moment, then began to speak in detail.

It must be said that the three problems he mentioned were all very insightful and to the point!

He was an arms expert, and even if Stark Industries shut down its weapons development department, that wouldn't change that fact.

Therefore, by considering the realization of the Energy Ring from the perspective of modern weaponry, a conclusion can be quickly reached.

"Good."

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

Chen Ji nodded.

He was right about this [Cursed by Knowledge]!

In an instant, he understood the key aspects of the Energy Ring!

This points to a reasonable direction for research!

"What materials is this Sling Ring made of?"

"It does not appear to be any known metal."

Stark looked doubtful.

Could this be made of Vibranium?

"Based on my understanding, its materials should originate from the Ta Lo Secret Realm."

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

"By engraving a spatial magic array within it during the smelting and forging process, using ancient techniques, one can obtain such a perfectly formed Sling Ring."

Chen Ji smiled.

He doesn't need to start from scratch.

Instead, based on the foundation of the Sling Ring, Energy Ring was created!

This greatly reduces the difficulty of the research. However, he has no clue how to make the Sling Ring offensive. It seems he will have to start with Rune Script!

Arcane magic arrays originated from Rune Script.

Rune Script.

It is, in fact, the genuine source code of the universe.

Each Rune possesses multiple meanings and can unleash unparalleled power.

Furthermore, he had already mastered the Power Rune, allowing him to draw energy from the Power Stone at any time.

If he could fuse the Power Rune and the Sling Ring... his envisioned Energy Ring could very well become a reality!

As the Acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, he should contribute his share, both morally and logically, given that the overall quality of Kamar-Taj varies greatly.

Ordinary Guardian Mage make up half the number, the remaining 40% are apprentice disciples, and only 10% are Mystic Arts Master!

What If...? the aid of the Entry System, it would take him anywhere from a year and a half to ten years to become Mystic Arts Master!

However.

Even Mystic Arts Master cannot withstand the passage of time; some are severely injured in battle and are forced to retreat to the sidelines.

For example, Master Hamir served as the logistics manager for Kamar-Taj.

This is completely incomparable to the Asgardians; they are not even in the same league.

Once the Energy Ring are successfully researched, Guardian Mage will possess one, granting them Energy Ring power Mystic Arts Master, causing a massive increase in the overall strength of Kamar-Taj!

In this way, even if Kaecilius and Baron Mordo rebel, the Ancient One wouldn't need to intervene personally; the Guardian Mage could quell the situation!

"Ta Lo Secret Realm? Magical Metal?"

"There's even magic metal here?"

Tony's eyes gleamed.

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

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

"Where is the Ta Lo Secret Realm?"

"I've never heard of this name before."

Nick Fury asked blankly.

During his conversations with Chen, he kept encountering hidden knowledge and unfamiliar vocabulary, which made him feel uncomfortable and intellectually crushed.

"Secret realms exist all over the world, just like a house always has hidden corners."

"This space was also created by the Earth's Ley Lines."

"Entering or exiting this space is only possible through specific methods and channels."

"In short, I will be responsible for preparing the magical materials and enchanting the Sling Ring, while you, Mr. Stark, only need to do the work for me."

As for the compensation...

"You will not only receive an Energy Ring, but also a large amount of magical metal."

Chen Ji quoted a price with a smile on his face.

Quietly awaiting Tony Stark's reply.

If Tony chooses to refuse...

So, he could also look for other partners. After all, there are Super Genius in the Marvel Universe, and he himself is Super Genius!

[Super Genius] (Purple): You possess extraordinary intelligence, unparalleled creativity, and remarkable talent that leads the world. You are a true Super Genius!
