Shuri's Dilemma: The Mind Stone and Vibranium!

Wakanda, Golden City, Royal Genetics Laboratory.

This place and the bloody battlefield outside, drowned in gunfire and roars, seemed like two separate worlds. There was no smoke in the air, only the low hum of running instruments and a faint scent of ozone mixed with disinfectant.

Yet the atmosphere here was grimmer than in any corner of the front lines.

Shuri, the genius princess who was Wakanda's greatest pride, was biting her lip, fine beads of sweat covering her forehead. Her hands became a dazzling series of afterimages across the holographic console as countless complex data streams and three-dimensional structural diagrams unfolded before her, rotated, and were rejected.

Before her lay Vision, a "man" built from vibranium who was, in theory, nearly perfect. What she faced now was the ultimate technical challenge, one no one on Earth—or even in the entire universe—had ever solved.

"No, still no!" Shuri tugged irritably at her dreadlocks and muttered a curse.

Her holographic scans revealed that the Mind Stone's integration with Vision went far beyond anything anyone had imagined.

It was not simply embedded in him, nor was it merely supplying energy. Like a living creature, this yellow Infinity Stone had extended its energy tendrils deep into every vibranium atom in Vision's body.

"Any attempt to sever their connections from the outside would be like removing a living person's brain without anesthesia." Shuri pushed a set of simulation data toward Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, who stood restlessly beside her. Her voice was filled with helplessness.
