Tony's words referred to none other than the Chitauri Leviathan, a formidable creature that had caused them immense trouble during the Battle of New York.
Due to Tony's quick actions, he managed to prevent Hydra from destroying the data, and he copied the remaining portion from their servers.
However, what shocked him even more was the various technologies and items inside the base. It was difficult to fathom what kind of power Hydra had utilized to secretly transport such a massive and conspicuous Leviathan to this location.
Besides the Leviathan and Loki's scepter, there were many advanced weapons and mysterious items, making it even more formidable than the previous S.H.I.E.L.D. facility.
Nevertheless, all of this was inconsequential to the Avengers' current mission. Tony looked at the scepter in his hand, his eyes shimmering with an unusual light. The sudden appearance of a vision in his mind made him reach a decision at this moment.
"Are we just letting him take it?" In the darkness, two individuals were observing Tony's actions from a hidden corner that he was unaware of.
"Let him be. I've shown him the illusion of his greatest fear. Obtaining the scepter is merely the beginning of his self-destruction!"
...
At Avengers Tower, after completing their mission, the Avengers used a nearby teleportation hub and returned through a space portal.
"Hurry, put Barton into the nutrient hibernation chamber!" Natasha anxiously urged the Iron Legion robots, having them place Hawkeye into the hibernation chamber for treatment.
"Don't worry, Natasha. Hawkeye has already been injected with super-concentrated nutrient fluid.
Although it didn't immediately heal him due to insufficient energy to activate its effect, now that we are back at our headquarters, he'll be fine," the caring Captain reassured her.
Meanwhile, Tony brought Bruce and Mark to the adjacent laboratory and began analyzing and researching the scepter. "Thor agreed to allow us to study it temporarily before he takes it back to Asgard."
"I suspect the two enhanced individuals who appeared in Sokovia were created by Strucker using the power of the scepter," Tony continued.
"By the way, Hill used the global facial recognition system to identify the two enhanced individuals. They are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, twin siblings, war orphans from Sokovia."
"Pietro possesses a super-strong metabolism and temperature control ability, allowing him to maintain high-speed movement for extended periods. He possesses speed and agility far beyond that of Captain's lightning suit."
"Wanda, the sister of Pietro, possesses the ability to interfere with neural transmission and has powerful telekinesis, allowing her to influence people's minds."
"So, in the limited few days of research time, we must make good use of it."
Inside the laboratory, Dr. Banner attentively listens to the latest information provided by Tony, while Mark concentrates on the Mind Stone above the scepter, occasionally furrowing his brow.
Seeing the Mind Stone again, Mark's actions go beyond conducting research with experimental instruments and various detection devices. Even receiving information with his Informational vision alone floods him with vast amounts of data.
This is also the reason why Mark furrows his brow; the mysteries contained within the Infinity Stone are too immense for his current brain capacity to handle.
Despite diverting the data through nanobots within his body and utilizing external servers for storage and computation, it still places a heavy burden on Mark's body.
"Hey, Mark, are you even listening to me?" Tony calls Mark's name multiple times, noticing that he remains fixated on the gem without responding. Tony walks over and pats his shoulder.
"I'm fine; I was just too focused. I apologize; I may not be able to help with this project. My body doesn't feel well, and I need to rest, I'm sorry."
"But I can offer you a research direction. The scepter and the gem on it are merely cover-ups. The real significance lies in the item hidden within the gem."
"It's like a computer capable of reprogramming a person's body and mind at will. If you can decipher the codes inside, I believe it will provide significant assistance in understanding it."
After speaking, Mark supports his temples and walks out of the laboratory, returning to his company through a space portal.
The use of his informational vision ability to analyze the Mind Stone resulted in Mark's brain accumulating a vast amount of knowledge and data that he couldn't immediately comprehend and process. This left him weak and experiencing headaches.
To recover, he must put his body into a state of hibernation, allowing all resources to focus on serving his brain and digesting and absorbing the information as quickly as possible.
According to Mark's estimation, it would take about two to three days, just in time before the birth of Ultron. For his future plans and Baymax's promotion, he must fully deal with the data that has been troubling him.
Confused by Mark's sudden change, Tony and Banner can only stay in place, watching Mark as he walks away, exchanging puzzled looks and unable to make sense of the situation.
"What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly feel unwell?" Dr. Banner looks at Tony with a perplexed expression, assuming that as Mark's father, Tony should be aware of the situation.
However, Tony proves to be a unique figure in his role as a father. "Um... I don't know either. Maybe he's been doing experiments in the lab for too long, and this mission's physical demands overwhelmed him."
Tony said uncertainly, "Let's not worry about him. His lab is filled with devices that can help him recover. Let's focus on how to study this scepter."
"J.A.R.V.I.S., have you got the results of the structural composition analysis?"
"The results are available, sir, and they align completely with Master Mark's suggestions. The scepter is of extraterrestrial origin, with some elements I cannot determine.
The gem on the scepter acts as a protective shield, guarding something of great power within, much like a computer, and I've been deciphering its code."
After hearing J.A.R.V.I.S.'s report, Tony becomes excited and turns to Banner, who stands beside him. "Bruce, you must help me this time. We need to collaborate as we did when creating Veronica, and achieve a great accomplishment together..."
