"So what? What's the point of you telling me all this nonsense?"
"I'm just a regular soldier, I don't understand any of your superstitious nonsense."
I need you as a bridge.
The Ancient One put away the Time Stone, her tone extremely sincere.
"I hope you can invite Luca Stark and Tony Stark to Kamar-Taj. I'd like to speak with them."
"Although Luca is ruthless, the power he possesses is the best weapon against those demons. If we can guide him to use that power to protect the Earth..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Steve impatiently interrupted the Ancient One.
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and then crushed it out forcefully.
"Bald lady, you'd better put away your idea of saving all living beings."
"I know Luca better than you do."
"He's a scumbag whose mind is only filled with money, throwing lavish parties, and playing around with women."
"This kind of person has no bottom line. If anyone touches his interests, he'll laugh and rip out their guts and shove them down their throat."
At this point, as if remembering something, Steve let out a cold snort.
"You expect an immoral bastard to save the world? You might as well expect a pig to lay golden eggs."
"Everyone's protecting New York now, but that's only because his company and his women are New York. You're talking to someone like that about protecting the multiverse? He'll only ask how much money he can make on this deal."
The Ancient One remained silent for a moment.
She knew Luca's personality, of course, which was also a headache for him.
"I know this is difficult," said the Ancient One.
"But when facing the Dark God who destroys everything, we need someone even more unreasonable than the God."
Steve glanced at the Ancient One silently, and after a moment of silence, he stood up.
"Alright. Since you're so eager to see him, I can pass on a message for you."
"But I'm only responsible for relaying messages. If that kid comes and takes a fancy to something here, and then tears this place down, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Of course, thank you very much, Mr. Steve."
Ten minutes later.
Stark Industries Building, New York, United States.
The sound of heavy rock music echoed in the laboratory.
Tony stood intently in front of a workbench.
Wearing Luca's bio-suit last time gave him great stimulation and inspiration.
After returning to the lab, he locked himself away and worked day and night on research and development.
Although it's impossible to create nanotech armor in a short time, he has already made amazing breakthroughs thanks to his unparalleled talent.
" Luca! Stop drinking and come over here to see the real scientific wonders!"
Tony shouted excitedly towards the lab's rest area.
Luca, carrying a glass of red wine, slowly walked over.
"Let me see what kind of junk our genius has produced in the past twenty-four hours, besides getting two dark circles under his eyes."
Tony ignored Luca's sharp tongue.
Instead, he turned around and raised his left hand in front of Luca.
He wore a silver wristband.
This wristband looks very heavy, with fine textures all over its surface.
"Your suit is certainly convenient. But I, Tony Stark, will never rely on alien junk."
As he spoke, Tony confidently raised his chin.
"This is a preliminary model of a memory metal folded storage matrix. I used a magnetic field constraint algorithm to rearrange and compress the structure of the battle armor."
Tony extended his right hand and gently pressed a red button on the wristband.
"Open your eyes and look carefully."
Buzz!
The silver wristbands instantly burst into a dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, rows of tiny scales welled up from within, like liquid!
These scales spread and combined rapidly along Tony's forearm.
In less than two seconds, a red and gold two-tone gauntlet covering Tony's left hand and half of his forearm appeared out of thin air!
A white light shone from the palm of the gauntlet; it was a small pulse cannon.
"How about it?"
Tony waved his arm triumphantly.
"Although it's not yet possible to retract the entire suit of armor, the current algorithm can only accommodate the mass of one arm."
"But once I crack the logic of the arrangement, the full coverage of the nanotech armor is only a matter of time!"
A hint of admiration flashed in Luca's eyes when he saw the armor in Tony's hand.
As expected of Tony.
To compress the mecha to this extent with just one day of research is an astonishing feat.
However, despite his thoughts, Luca certainly wouldn't give Tony a friendly look on the surface.
"We're definitely on the right track, Tony."
Luca took a sip of his iced Americano and raised an eyebrow.
"But this speed is still too slow. By the time you finish building your full-body nanotech armor, I reckon you'll already be ruling the galaxy. What you have is at best a magician's toy glove."
You don't know anything!
Tony was so angry he gritted his teeth.
"Science requires rigorous calculation! Do you think everyone can become stronger by sunbathing and absorbing alien bugs like you? That's cheating!"
Just as the two brothers were playfully teasing each other as usual.
"Gentlemen, we have a guest."
JARVIS's voice echoed in the laboratory.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ring of dazzling golden sparks suddenly lit up the laboratory.
The portal opened, and Steve and Wang walked out one after the other.
"This broken-down door is such a terrible experience; I'd rather take a slow, old-fashioned train."
Steve exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Luca and Tony.
"Gentlemen, please put your toys aside for now. A bald nun wants to see you."
"A bald nun?" Tony was taken aback.
"That's the leader of Kamar-Taj, called the Sorcerer Supreme."
Steve flicked his cigarette ash, his tone calm.
"She asked me to tell you two to come to the temple on the snow mountain for a cup of tea."
"She said that because of the mess you two bastards made, you've turned Earth's timeline into a complete mess, and now a group of monsters called demons are coming to wreak havoc."
Upon hearing this...
Luca and Tony exchanged a glance, both becoming excited.
Tony was the most excited.
Magic? Kamar-Taj?
If we could get close to the Sorcerer Supreme and analyze the energy frequency and spatial magic algorithms within her, wouldn't the spatial storage problem of the nanotech armor be easily solved?!
Isn't this an untapped treasure trove of science?
Luca shared a similar idea.
Since Kamar-Taj possesses a cross-dimensional energy network, it can even manipulate time.
If Stark Industries ' reactors could be connected to this network, then Stark Industries could become the largest energy supplier in the entire universe!
"Very well, since it's an invitation from the master, how can we, as good citizens of New York, refuse?"
However, just to be on the safe side, Luca still had a thought.
Beneath the skin, a black bio-suit instantly emerged, transforming into a set of black armor.
Not only is he strikingly handsome, but he also exudes an undeniable aura of dominance.
Tony immediately pressed the switch on the workbench, and a portable Mark Armor quickly covered his entire body.
"Let's go, buddy. Let's talk about a big deal."
"If possible, we'll buy the snow-capped mountain and turn it into a Stark Industries ski resort."
Steve rolled his eyes in exasperation.
He had no doubt that these two guys could take the tickets to paradise and list them on the stock exchange to make a fortune.
A few minutes later.
Luca and Tony stepped through the portal side by side.
A cold, icy wind swept over me.
The two arrived at the ancient courtyard of Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One stood in the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, watching them with a smile.
"Welcome to Kamar-Taj, Mr. Stark. Luca Stark, Mr. Stark. Tony Stark."
Ancient One nodded slightly, her tone full of the tolerance of an elder.
"I have been waiting for you two for quite some time. We need to have an in-depth discussion about the future of this world, and the variables inherent in you..."
The Ancient One hadn't finished speaking.
Luca stepped forward, interrupting her.
"Stop with all that fancy talk about the future, Master."
"My employees told me that you have access to infinite energy channels connecting to the multiverse. It's a great technology, but you're failing to monetize it effectively."
"Name your price, Sorcerer Supreme."
Luca announced arrogantly, displaying his wealth and power.
" Stark Industries wants to acquire all of Kamar-Taj's energy extraction rights. Alternatively, we could discuss a joint venture listing."
"If you sign here, I guarantee every monk here can drive Ferrari."
