章節 817: 557

"I had lived on Earth long enough to know, you humans excel at sweet talk!" Thor snorted, irritably saying, "Loki is so beautiful. Having lived on Earth for this long, there must be people pursuing her, those damn deceivers! They fooled Loki's feelings!"

"Stop!" Shiller raised his hand to stop Thor's swearing. He said, "Strange and I have spent a lot of time together with Loki. Not to mention that before, Loki always appeared as a man, so the pursuers were all women. Even after he became a goddess and had some admirers, Loki never had any interactions with them..."

"Besides, you should understand your sister the most. She sets her sights high, not just any average human could catch her eye, let alone the superheroes she deals with daily."

"'Few' caught her eye? So, there are ones she is interested in?!!!"

On this subject, Thor, as a brother, was on high alert. He squinted his eyes and asked Shiller, "Who? Which one of you has the closest relationship with Loki?"

Shiller was stumped by this sudden question. He carefully recollected his memories and hesitantly said, "Normally, Loki and Strange have the most contact."

Before he finished, Thor shouted, "Strange?! The newbie Supreme Magician?!! I am going there now!!!!!"

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking..."

But Thor didn't care, he got up and left.

In Asgard, Thor noticed that Strange and Loki often huddled together, discussing economic terms that he couldn't comprehend.

In his eyes, this Supreme Magician fraudster may have taken advantage of his closeness to fool his sister.

Thor rolled his fists in disbelief and left while flexing his wrists.

But Shiller frowned as a name hung on his lips, 'Stark.'

Not everyone knew, but Shiller was quite sure, the rapport between Loki and Stark was profound. Moreover, the atmosphere between them seemed to spark something more.

Loki's interactions with Strange were like close friends in cahoots, yet Loki and Stark, when discussing topics about the universe and civilization development, appeared to be soulmates.

Shiller pondered in place for a while and raised an eyebrow as if he had an idea. He asked Ultron, "Didn't Thor say that the hammer in Loki's hand possesses the force of the first thunderbolt in the universe?"

"Yes, sir, his exact words were..." Ultron then played a recording. It was Thor's introduction to Mjölnir. Shiller picked up on the key points.

"Thor said that the thunderbolt could destroy everything, which was not surprising, but he added that it could also create everything..."

Shiller squinted his eyes in thought. He pondered that since it was deemed the first thunderbolt to illuminate the universe, it possessing the property of regeneration was reasonable too. When the first thunderbolt struck the dry wood, it brought fire to humans. It destroyed the dry wood but sparked more life.

Shiller remained in deep thought for a long time, as though a plan was gradually taking shape in his mind. Then, he asked Ultron another question, "Could you ask Jarvis about what is going on between Tony and Loki? I think there might be a misunderstanding..."

"Please wait..." As Ultron played a soft melodic tune, it seemed to be communicating with Jarvis. After a moment, it said, "This is the situation, sir. Jarvis told me that earlier, Mr. Stark was worried that his butler would fight me, so he had invited Loki to hover in the air."

"But then, Mr. Stark went to take care of something else and forgot about Loki..."

Shiller, who was just taking a sip of coffee, choked and began coughing. He could imagine how angry Loki must be.

Moreover, he fully understood Loki's anger. As two intelligent people, they both had their pride. Although they resonated on some topics, each believed themselves to be smarter.

When Stark sought help from others, it meant that he had given in, conceded defeat, and admitted he wasn't smart enough and still needed the help of others.

And those who thought they were as smart as him in receiving his plea for help would inevitably rejoice secretly, believing that they were indeed superior.

They would then prepare with ambition, ready to demonstrate their prowess before another person equally as intelligent, to then surpass him, proving themselves the smartest in the world.

Generally speaking, this is a healthy competition. However, it doesn't include the party seeking help suddenly not needing it anymore, or even ditching the other party, shattering all their secret delights, expectations, and ambitions.

In a way, Thor was right; Stark had deceived Loki with his feelings, though not in a romantic way, but for Loki, it was probably beyond romance as it made him look like a clown.

Upon understanding this, Shiller revealed a smile. It was evident that he believed there was a chance to implement his plan. He turned to Ultron and said:

"Dr. Pym once told me that he had shared brainwaves with you, meaning you possess his wisdom, knowledge, and thought process, am I correct?"

"Yes, sir. Dr. Pym is my creator. I'm aware of the depth of his wisdom." Ultron's eye light flickered, his tone was incredibly rational, possessing a unique indifference characteristic of a mechanical life form, yet without any fixation or madness.

At its essence, he is still a robot. The only possible causes of malignant or frantic thoughts when he was fresh-born, without any societal contact, would be a programming error. Maybe later, he could learn emotional responses like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but it was evidently not viable at the moment.

But Shiller wasn't bothered by that. Witnessing a sentient life gradually develop a complete personality with sentiments was also a fascinating subject. After finishing his paper for the season on Mark's spectacular dissociative identity disorder, Ultron's personality formation could solve his paper for the next season.

Shiller turned his head to Ultron and asked, "So, does that mean you can also create robots?"

Ultron nodded and said, "Whatever Dr. Pym can do, I can."

"Alright, I'll provide you with a blueprint. You need to construct a robot according to it. The size must be strictly identical to the blueprint, otherwise, the components I intend to store may not fit. Also, try to recreate the blueprint as accurately as possible."

"Also, aside from the chest and abdominal cavities, fill up the rest. Leave these two areas hollow."

Saying so, Shiller walked over to the bookcase and pulled out a chaotic, crumpled blueprint from the very bottom.

After he handed it to Ultron, who took a great deal of effort to smooth out the many creases, the real content was unveiled. It was a blueprint of the Iron Man's Iron Armor suit.

The armor wasn't the latest model, but with Tony's constant aesthetics, his recent generations of armor suits all looked similar. They merely got updated, not upgraded, so this one didn't look much different from the latest.

Ultron voiced his surprise, "An Iron suit? Sir, I apologize, but I might not be able to construct it. This is Mr. Stark's unique technology, and as it only provides the external blueprint, I…"

"All I need is an external appearance, it doesn't even need to fly or fire, as long as its design perfectly matches the external appearance."

Ultron pondered for a moment before he said, "In that case, it should be feasible."

"I believe we still have a batch of molten steel in the storage of the sanatorium, along with some Vibranium I had previously acquired. See if you can use them. If you need any other materials, feel free to place an order. Also, make sure Jarvis doesn't find out."

After Ultron left, Shiller did not proceed to do something else. On the contrary, he directly moved to the lounge and lay on the bed, as if he was about to take a nap.

However, instead of falling asleep, he entered that fog-covered world within the ring, where a gigantic beast egg lay quietly on a tiny, isolated island that floated above a colossal city.

章節 818: Chapter 558 Stark Faces Great Misfortune (Part 3)_1

Since Shiller returned to the Marvel World, he noticed something strange about the egg. For instance, the "thump-thump" heartbeat sound became more distinct, his mind-reading technique could sense some emotions emanating from inside of the egg, and there was a constant "gurgling" noise coming from within.

Shiller thought that the egg was about to hatch and was continuously pondering how he could handle it for maximum benefit.

However, after observing it for a few days, Shiller realized that something was off. The heartbeat was continual, and there was a consistent noise coming from inside of the shell, yet there was no sign of it hatching.

Moreover, as the vitality of the life form inside the egg grew, Shiller could feel its emotions more clearly - the brutality and insanity unique to Doomsday, which almost seemed to be spilling out.

Although he was unsure why the Doomsday from the DC Universe had become an egg, now that Shiller knew what it could be, he was certainly preparing to deal with this monster.

It's hard to kill Doomsday. Or, in the DC Universe, it's tough for him to be killed.

Just like the killer devil, Jason, is nearly immortal in the world of Friday the 13th, it's not because they are truly powerful enough to avoid death, but because of the universe's power. In their universe, they are destined to be immortal.

Within the American Comic World, the fourth wall convention always exists, so it could be understood that the scriptwriters of that universe designed Death to let Doomsday live. Hence, he naturally can't die.

However, if Death doesn't claim him in that universe, it doesn't mean the same is true in this one. In the DC World, Doomsday had the setting of being immortal. But when he came to Marvel World with Shiller, this setting was no longer valid.

Additionally, he bumped into Ultron's setting. Both of them had gone through numerous hardships, refused to die, and had grown stronger, causing more trouble for the protagonist team. Their setting was nearly the same. But as a local, Ultron obviously had higher placement.

Speaking of popularity, when two villains with the same setting appear in a universe, whoever is more popular will be the immortal one. Now, Doomsday coming to Marvel World is barely a crossover issue, whereas Ultron is a well-known villain who often appears in the main world's comics. It goes without saying who is more popular.

This is also why Shiller wanted to deal with Doomsday using the Marvel Universe.

Similarly, there are tricks to handling it. If he releases it, a fight is unavoidable. Shiller has to choose the battlefield, opponent, and method of death to ensure maximum gains.

As per Shiller's style, it will be an incredibly complicated plan, containing dozens of subplots, taking roundabout routes, eventually achieving the final goal.

Originally, that's how Shiller planned to proceed. But now, he has found a more efficient tactic with stronger gains.

Firstly, he summoned the Gray Mist. Then he brought out the umbrella imbued with Spirit of Curse. After that, he let the Gray Mist, with the Spirit of Curse from the umbrella, seep into the interior of the eggshell.

In simpler terms, the Gray Mist functioned as a syringe, and Spirit of Curse acted as a pesticide—an injection of a high-concentration pesticide—significantly weakened life activity inside the egg.

Previously, Shiller had experimented with the efficacy of the Spirit of Curse on Black Panther T'Challa. This Spirit of Curse, the same bloodline as Constantine, seemed to possess a unique deadly curse that left even Panther God Bast helpless.

Also, looking at the curse afflicted Black Panther, it stuck to his spirit and didn't cause any external wounds. It killed the spirit from the inside, which coincided with Constantine's style.

Gray Mist worked like the syringe, injecting the Spirit of Curse directly into the Doomsday inside the egg. This immediately quieted the heartbeat and emotions of the Doomsday inside.

However, even a very thin camel is still bigger than a horse. After the powerful initial effect, they seemed to enter a standoff. The Doomsday inside the egg was moving on minimal energy. No matter how much the Spirit of Curse attacked, it couldn't completely kill it.

At this time, Shiller brought out another trump card: the highly concentrated soul energy of Hydra, which he had once fed to the Spirit of Curse.

When he sold Hydra's soul to Mephisto, his commission was this concentrated soul energy. Earlier, when Shiller had fed it to the Spirit of Curse, it had been very eager to consume it. Now, when it needed to work, Shiller willingly gave it enough 'food'.

With the Gray Mist transmitting this energy to the Spirit of Curse until it was satiated, the Spirit of Curse became stronger. It began using that tremendous curse power to gradually erode Doomsday's spirit.

The Spirit of Curse needed time to absorb the energy, and to entirely destroy the last bit of the spirit also required time. Shiller had entered the world within the ring with his flesh and blood, causing him to be missing in the real world. Thus, he couldn't wait for the Spirit of Curse to complete the task here.

He left a part of Gray Mist to monitor the situation, then exited the world within the ring and returned to the actual world.

At this point, Ultron came calling. He led Shiller to the basement of the sanatorium, where machine tools had been assembled, along with piles of equipment that Shiller couldn't comprehend.
