Sorcerer Supreme Tony Stark from Another Universe

"Besides the Infinity Stones, there's the issue of energy. Theoretically, the Infinity Stones possess Infinity energy, but they only work within their own universe. So, the energy sources are basically obtained through technological means. The most typical example is Iron Man Tony Stark's Arc Reactor. There should be other places as well. Those aliens who want to power such a large spaceship must have made significant progress in energy technology."

Meikyō squinted, leaned back in the lounge chair in the yard, basking in the spring sun, and silently made plans in her mind.

Iron Man's Arc Reactor is actually very powerful, so powerful that it makes one wonder if Marvel's writers accidentally killed Joule.

Because that thing has a power output of three billion joules per second!

This is equivalent to 3 billion watts, while the Three Gorges Dam's maximum power is 22.5 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to 22.5 billion watts.

In other words, a First Hokage Arc Reactor, about the size of seven and a half palms, could achieve the power output of the Three Gorges Dam...

Of course, the accounts cannot be calculated that way.

The First Hokage Arc Reactor could only last for fifteen minutes at full power output, which is why early Iron Man would easily run out of power when operating at full capacity. This problem was not solved until the advent of the Second Hokage Arc Reactor.

Even so, this is still outrageous.

Even more outrageous is that such a powerful reactor has been miniaturized to the size of a palm.

Fortunately, Meikyō wanted something outrageous, because the gravity training facility in the One-Punch Man World had an even more outrageous power consumption. Under the guidance of a top-tier Psychic Power master like Tatsumaki, the power output reached a million kilowatts.

If we build a reactor like the super-large Arc Reactor on Stark Tower, which is equivalent to several ordinary miniaturized Arc Reactors, it should be enough to meet our needs and last for a period of time.

But then another problem arose.

How am I supposed to build this Arc Reactor?

Should we use hypnosis to attack Iron Man directly?

It's not impossible, but we must plan carefully and do it secretly. We can't let what we did to Iron Man cause unexpected events at the timeline.

In any other world, such an action would be fine; one could simply use Genjutsu and hypnosis. But the problem is that this is Marvel, and that person is Tony Stark, the chosen one of the Marvel Universe from 2008 to 2018. Most of the important time-space nodes during these ten years are related to this person.

This kind of time-space node is probably like in most universes, Peter Parker will become Spider-Man, Ben Parker will die, and there will be the saying "with great power comes great responsibility". Just like in the DC universe, the one who becomes Batman will basically be Bruce's parents will definitely die in that alley.

If you were the chosen one from another world, it wouldn't matter, but the Marvel universe is too complex. Those powerful figures who serve as background characters may not have a high profile, but they are real. If they were to affect these time-space nodes and disrupt the plans of those beings, even the Meikyō wouldn't know what would happen.

By learning from a great sorcerer like the Ancient One, who had studied time and dimensions for hundreds of years, the Meikyō gradually came to understand many of the appearances and taboos behind the Multiverse. Otherwise, if the Sorcerer Supreme throughout history had all possessed the Time Stone and had not abided by the taboos, but instead used their understanding of the timeline to tamper with history, the timeline would have long since become a complete mess.

In that case, the Eternity and Infinity of this Multiverse will surely target you and use all sorts of methods, both imaginable and unimaginable, to manipulate you, because what you did disrupted their work.

If they cannot guarantee that the Multiverse they are responsible for is not affected by mysterious imbalances, then they should be in trouble with the Living Tribunal.

It is precisely because of this that the Ancient One, a Sorcerer Supreme, was able to connect with Eternity.

The Sorcerer Supreme is the Vishanti's representative in this dimension, and following Eternity means entering the system and having a formal position.

Meikyō didn't know if taking action against Tony Stark would alert these big shots, but even if the possibility was small, he had to be extremely careful.

"Hiss! This is really difficult! This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal, it's really hard to handle. I should first go to Master the Ancient One to borrow the Time Stone and see which time period will have the least impact on the future. I should also see when to contact the Mind Stone and then use the Mirror God Eye to take a good look at how the power of the Time Stone works."

Having made up his mind, Meikyō decided to get up and go find the Ancient One.

Just then, Wang pushed open the door and walked in.

"Wang? I remember it shouldn't be the rebate period yet..."

"Master Meikyō, the Sorcerer Supreme requests your presence. She insists that you wear the Sling Ring."

The king clasped his hands together, bowed to the Meikyō, and said...

Is it absolutely necessary to wear Sling Ring?

Meikyō followed Wang curiously to where the Ancient One was.

"Meikyō, come in, Wang. Today, besides Sichuan food, we're going to the Black Label Burger Shop at Minetta Tavern in Manhattan, New York City. We'll order a cheeseburger and fries, and an ice- Karaku."

The Ancient One's voice came through the door.

Wang nodded to indicate that he understood, and immediately opened a portal to New York.

The Ancient One's diet is very diverse, including both Chinese and Western food, and she occasionally indulges in some traditional nostalgic dishes. However, most of her food is from this era, since modern food tastes better than any other time.

However, Meikyō knew that the hamburgers and fries were for another customer.

Inside the room, Meikyō sensed a powerful aura besides that of the Ancient One.

"Master the Ancient One, who is our guest today...?"

Meikyō was dumbfounded when Gate of Opening.

"Tony Stark?"

Anyone could recognize this face with its slightly arrogant mustache at a glance.

However, Tony Stark's appearance was somewhat peculiar. Although he was wearing mechanical armor, it was not the classic gold and red color scheme, but a mix of blue and gold, exuding a strong magical aura. He also wore a Cloak of Magic on his back.

"Oh, of course it's me, but not the one you know. I'm Tony Stark from another universe. Hello, Master Meikyō. Although I've never heard of you in my universe."

Tony's hand-mounted device glowed, and with a couple of clicks, he removed it and shook hands with Meikyō.

"Um... Hello, Mr. Stark."

Meikyō never expected that just moments ago she was talking about Tony Stark, and now Tony Stark himself would come knocking on her door.

Even Tony Stark from other universes.

It seems that those things were indeed prepared for this Stark, who, like Tony Stark Stark this world, likes cheeseburgers.

"In Stark's universe, another version of me, a male version of myself, chose Stark as his successor as the Sorcerer Supreme, a Sorcerer Supreme was far superior to me."

The Ancient One reached out and used the Time Stone to fill the three teacups in front of her with tea.

"Oh, the Ancient One, I protected the Earth of my world with a protective shield made of magic and steel. I think you can also come into contact with more modern knowledge. These things, combined with magic, can have a multiplied effect. Also, I prefer Karaku to tea, Coca-Cola."

Stark proudly demonstrated his universe to the two of them using Genjutsu.

He deployed hundreds of magical satellites in that world, which, upon activation, could be integrated into the magic arrays of the three holy sites on Earth to enhance their power, enabling both defense and counterattacks.

"I am an ancient relic, hundreds of years old. Although I have been trying very hard to learn about the new era, it is not easy to keep up with you young people. Perhaps you would be better off offering these suggestions to the next Sorcerer Supreme of our universe. I plan to retire soon."

The Ancient One smiled and shook his head.

Just kidding, how many people can be as talented as Tony Stark in both magic and technology, reaching the pinnacle of human potential in both fields simultaneously?

Not everyone is Doom.

"Oh, I know, I knew it. So it seems that the Sorcerer Supreme who will succeed you in this universe will also follow the same path as me? I can give you some pointers, but as you know, every Stark is an absolute genius, and pointers to geniuses don't come cheap. You'll have to pay a small fee."

Tony Stark winked at Meikyō.

The Ancient One picked up the conversation and said to Meikyō:

"Every Sorcerer Supreme is an agent chosen by Vishanti in their respective universe. We are aware of each other's existence and regularly use Astral Projection to travel to Vishanti's realm to communicate. I heard that you need a source of energy that can reliably release millions of kilowatts, so I found Stark, who is the Sorcerer Supreme in another universe. Perhaps he can give you what you want, but you must also follow the principle of equivalent exchange and give Stark the same, or even more, reward."

"Thank you, the Ancient One, and Mr. Stark."

Meikyō expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"I just want you to take over the position of Sorcerer Supreme as soon as possible so I can retire sooner."

The Ancient One smiled and said.

"Alright, no need for words of thanks. Someone as outstanding as me always receives a lot of thanks. How about we get down to business?"

Stark snapped his fingers as if performing a magic trick, and the space in front of him rippled, revealing two small Arc Reactors glowing with a beautiful blue light.

"This is the First Hokage Arc Reactor, which can provide 300,000 joules of energy per second for 15 minutes and costs $1.6 million. The other one is the Second Hokage Arc Reactor, which uses isotopes of the target element to make a reactor that can provide 500,000 joules of energy per second and lasts for 12 times longer than the First Hokage reactor. The equipment for making the isotopes costs $230 million. The cost of the isotopes needed for each standard-sized Arc Reactor is $300,000. All together, it's not very expensive."

This isn't very expensive for you, is it?

"However, I am not short of money. Money is just a number to me. Besides, money from your universe might be considered counterfeit when it gets to us. So I have another plan."

Stark stroked his mustache and chuckled.

"I would like to hear the details."

"I heard that you will only serve as the Sorcerer Supreme in this universe for a maximum of five or six years?"

At this moment, the Ancient One interjected, "According to the timeline of this universe, Strange will enter Kamar-Taj in February 2016 and become the Sorcerer Supreme in July 2017."

"OK, so that means you'll only be the Sorcerer Supreme for a maximum of five years. That's great."

Stark continued with a smile:

"Two types of reactors, two different solutions."

"The first option is that I will give you the manufacturing method of the First Hokage Arc Reactor, along with all the supporting facilities. However, you must come to my universe five years later and succeed me as the Sorcerer Supreme of that universe until you choose the next Sorcerer Supreme."

The Ancient One put down his teacup, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, but he didn't speak immediately.

"The second option is to provide you with the manufacturing method for the Second Hokage Arc Reactor, along with the necessary facilities. However, you must come with me to the Dark Dimension to destroy Dormammu's Fardeen body. While this won't kill him, it will be enough to plunge this Multiverse- level Dimensional Demon God into a period of silence for over a hundred years, preventing him from extending his reach into other dimensions."

The Ancient One finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Stark, this price has nothing to do with equivalent exchange."

"I know, I know, so I will give other things in return. If it is the second condition, I can give you anything you want, anything I can give. Even the first one, I can help you in the next five years, whether it is to help you make a weapon that combines magic and technology, or something else."

Tony Stark said in a deep voice.

"Why?"

Meikyō looked at Stark and said.

"Why what?"

"Why are you looking for Dormammu? You've left your own spacetime, the Time Stone has lost its power, and to fight Dormammu in Dormammu's universe, you need a powerful being of the same level across the Multiverse. Otherwise, even the Sorcerer Supreme would face certain death. So why are you looking for me?"

Meikyō voiced his doubts.

Stark was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and released a magical projection in his palm.

"In my universe, the current timeline is 2020. In my universe, Pepper Potts and I got married in 2017 and gave birth to Morgan in 2018. Thanos landed while Pepper Potts was pregnant."

As Stark spoke, the magical projection extracted images from Stark's memories and played them in front of the Meikyō and the Ancient One.

"Two years ago, Dormammu descended with Thanos. They colluded, and because of the Time Stone, I prepared for it long ago. Together with the Avengers, we defeated Thanos and prevented Dormammu's arrival. But Pepper, I created a suit of armor that saved her life at a crucial moment, but her body was also corrupted by Dormammu's Dark Energy. Although I healed Pepper, my daughter, Morgan, was corrupted by Dormammu's power when she was still a backup plan..."
