Capítulo 277: Chapter 277

"This Infinity Stone… is it really that dangerous?"

Tony and the others were shocked.

This revelation was completely unexpected. Did it mean they couldn't use the Power Stone at all?

The White-Clad Hero could seemingly wield the Power Stone effortlessly, but if any of them tried, it would mean certain death?

They hadn't even considered this possibility!

At first, they assumed that anyone could use the Power Stone and gain terrifying strength from it…

Suddenly Barton, muttered, "Could it be that the true strength all along was just the White-Clad Hero?"

"The Power Stone couldn't be touched by even the non-human Sentinel robots, but the White-Clad Hero, with a body of flesh and blood, can wield it without any harm…"

Hearing Barton's words, they realized the implications.

How powerful must the White-Clad Hero's body be to endure the Power Stone unscathed?

It was mind-boggling to think of his physical strength.

"That clears things up. With such a limitation, it makes sense," Tony, acknowledged. "No wonder there's such a terrifying stone—it comes with a hefty drawback."

"The White-Clad Hero can use it, but he's clearly an exception."

This new understanding made the stone's power seem more reasonable, and its danger more manageable.

As they continued discussing, the phone on the table picked up their words, allowing Nick Fury at S.H.I.E.L.D. to hear every detail.

"So that's how it is?"

Fury sighed in frustration.

It seemed his initial ambitions for the stone were just wishful thinking.

"A mortal can't use it, then…" Fury's eyes showed a hint of apprehension.

Thanks to Thor, they had learned the truth, but the other factions were still caught between shock and confusion.

At the secret military base...

"How can this be?"

General Howell, Commander Aleksandro, and Dr. Bolivar were dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, they had been dreaming about how they would study and use the Power Stone after obtaining it. Now…

They couldn't believe it.

The Sentinel had merely grasped the stone—how did it suddenly explode?

Dr. Bolivar, still shocked, guessed, "Could it be that the Sentinel couldn't withstand the stone's power?"

Commander Aleksandro and the other officers were taken aback.

Reflecting on it, they realized Dr. Bolivar's theory made sense.

But if even the non-human body of the Sentinel couldn't handle it…

Yet the White-Clad Hero could?

They were stunned.

Among other factions...

Apart from Dr. Bolivar, other intelligent minds analyzed the Sentinel's explosion and arrived at a similar conclusion. Even many of the billions watching from different countries began to piece it together.

Back at the scene...

The purple explosion's residual energy gradually dissipated.

In its place remained only Syd, hovering midair, holding the glowing Power Stone.

With a slight gesture, the Power Stone floated back into his hand. Under the gaze of countless factions and billions of people, he held it effortlessly.

The purple glow flickered, energy waves spreading, yet despite the Infinity Stone's overwhelming power, his body remained unscathed.

At that moment, the White-Clad Hero, dressed in white, floated in the sky, gripping the stone, exuding an aura as if he were a god or demon.

It was as though this Infinity Stone rightfully belonged to him, that only he was worthy to use it, while others lacked the qualification…

Silence and disbelief filled the hearts of countless onlookers.

Ignoring their reactions, Syd held the Power Stone, and his figure blurred as he entered an optical camouflage state, disappearing from the sight of all factions and billions of people.

The military's grand capture operation had ended in utter failure.

While it was uncertain what other plans the military had, for now, they posed no threat to him.

Of course, Syd didn't believe this would be the end of the matter.

He was certain that the military still had a large number of Sentinels at their disposal…

At that moment, within the secret military base...

Several generals were engaged in a heated discussion with some members of Congress, debating whether to send more Sentinels to stall the White-Clad Hero, then drop a nuclear bomb on him!

Regardless of civilian casualties or the sacrifices required, they just wanted to eliminate the "threat" of the White-Clad Hero.

However, the proposal was immediately rejected by three congressmen.

"We're not at that stage yet. Let's wait and see."

"Dropping a nuke on the city would have far-reaching consequences and would be difficult to explain. Unless absolutely necessary, let's avoid that…"

Though the generals could understand the congressmen's conservative stance, they couldn't help feeling frustrated.

But with no one to share the fallout of a nuclear strike, they could only acquiesce for now. None of them wanted to face the public backlash of such a decision.

Of course, this was only temporary; the possibility of a nuclear strike hadn't been ruled out.

As for when to actually use it—that would depend on future developments…

As the generals and congressmen continued their debate, citizens everywhere began to vent their frustration on Irina.

People flooded the comments section of her live broadcast website with their thoughts.

"Irina, didn't you say the military was fully prepared this time? That even Omega mutants like the White-Clad Hero and the Messiah would be punished? What's happening now?"

"Irina, you liar! You deceived us again!"

"You're useless!"

Feeling humiliated by Irina's overblown promises, the public took out their frustrations on her. Though they knew it wasn't exactly her fault, they needed a scapegoat.

On the broadcast stage...

Reading the flood of comments, Irina's face turned grim as she endured the onslaught of online abuse.

While citizens lashed out at Irina, Syd, meanwhile, was deep in thought.

Thanks to the Power Stone, he hadn't had to reveal much of his true strength in this battle.

He considered his next steps, planning to locate the military's main base and deliver a decisive blow.

As for the President and other officials, after some thought, he decided against taking action.

Pushing them too far might lead them to a desperate decision, like resorting to nuclear weapons.

Although Venom's danger-sensing ability provided some protection, it had already been blocked once before, leaving him unaware of an approaching threat.

Capítulo 278: Chapter 278

Syd didn't believe that the military was entirely out of options.

Without the advantage of a danger-sensing ability, if the military suddenly detonated a nuclear bomb, even he would find it challenging and dangerous.

He wasn't sure if his current strength would be enough to withstand a nuclear explosion.

At Stark Tower...

Watching his brother disappear, Thor's face relaxed into a smile, feeling relieved.

Then, he started to feel a bit smug.

See, how could the methods of these Midgardians ever pose a threat to Asgardian gods!

They simply weren't a match for Asgard's might.

Naturally, Tony Stark and the others noticed Thor's expression, reading his pride in the subtle curve of his mouth.

But they had to admit, the White-Clad Hero was indeed powerful. More intimidating still was the Power Stone he wielded.

With the Power Stone, the White-Clad Hero seemed even more terrifying!

If it were just the White-Clad Hero himself, there might still be a way to deal with him. Now, though...

After a bit of discussion, the group finally calmed down from the recent events and moved on to other topics.

At that point, they began talking about Thor's hammer.

"No, I'm definitely not lying to you!" Thor said, taking a swig of his drink.

"Oh, so anyone worthy of lifting this hammer gains its power?" Barton, joked. "Sounds like you're bluffing."

"Why don't you give it a try?" Thor invited with a grin. "Go on!"

"Really?"

"Alright, let's do it." Barton stood up and walked over to the table, eyeing Thor's hammer.

As he prepared to give it a try, someone teased him.

"Barton, don't worry if you can't lift it. We won't hold it against you."

Barton, unimpressed, reached out and placed his hand on the hammer, giving it his best effort.

But no matter how hard he tried, the hammer didn't budge.

"How are you doing this?" Barton asked Thor awkwardly, suspecting a trick.

Encouraged by Barton, Tony also stepped up to try his hand.

"If I lift it, do I get to rule Asgard?" Tony asked.

"Yes, of course," Thor shrugged.

Unfortunately, after several attempts, even with his armor on, Tony couldn't lift it.

Then, War Machine, Dr. Banner, and Captain America each gave it a shot, but none could lift the hammer.

Dr. Banner then turned to Natasha and said, "Natasha, why don't you give it a try?"

Natasha laughed, shaking her head, "Oh, no, that's not my thing."

With her declining, the others didn't press her further.

"There must be some trick."

"It has to be rigged somehow," Barton and the others muttered.

"Is there a mechanism, like a password?" Tony speculated. "Maybe it only responds to your fingerprint?"

Thor laughed and stood up, "That's an interesting theory, but I have a simpler way to prove it."

Extending his right hand, he effortlessly lifted the hammer and commented, "It's because you're unworthy."

"And I wasn't lying; you forget, my brother, the White-Clad Hero, lifted Mjolnir as well."

"Though I still don't know how he did it."

Hearing this, Tony and the others recalled the time when the White-Clad Hero wielded Mjolnir.

"When he used the hammer, he looked even more formidable than you, Thor," Tony admitted. "I'm starting to believe you."

However, he was also a bit skeptical, "Are you sure it's not just a privilege for Asgardian royalty?"

"I'm not lying," Thor insisted, shaking his head.

Then Tony mused, "So, that means your brother could inherit Asgard's throne too?"

Thor hesitated, nodding slowly, "He has the qualifications, even if he couldn't lift the hammer."

Hearing this, Tony and the others felt a tinge of regret, but their admiration for the White-Clad Hero only grew.

As they continued their conversation, Captain America suddenly asked, "How's the AI project going? I heard you're working on artificial intelligence?"

Tony nodded, "Banner and I are indeed working on it. We're calling it Ultron."

"But without the Mind Stone, Jarvis can't process the dense data fast enough, so we're a bit behind."

Barton and the others looked surprised.

Captain America frowned, "Ultron?"

"Why are you developing something like that?" Barton and the others looked at Tony.

Tony fell silent, then explained, "I've been feeling powerless. We need to put armor around the world. This fragile blue planet needs protection!"

"With Ultron, we can accomplish so much. For instance, I could integrate it with my Iron Legion…"

As he spoke, Tony's mind drifted back to scenes from recent battles.

He recalled the invasion of the Chitauri army—the terror and helplessness he felt still lingered in his mind, haunting him at night.

Besides the Chitauri army, there was another nightmare: the White-Clad Hero in the Battle of New York, with his overwhelming power that left Tony feeling helpless and vulnerable.

If one day, the White-Clad Hero or the Messiah lost control…

He couldn't bear to imagine the outcome.

Thus, he wanted to create Ultron to protect humanity, to safeguard Earth from alien threats and terrifying beings like the White-Clad Hero.

Hearing Tony's explanation, the others exchanged uneasy glances.

"Alright, I have some work to get back to," Tony said, excusing himself.

"I'll join you," Dr. Banner added.

The two headed to another lab.

After a bit of conversation, they got back to their joint research.

As time passed, Ultron, the artificial intelligence, was quickly taking shape.
