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 But when he came to Marvel World with Shiller, this setting was no longer valid.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.
At that moment, a battlesuit identical to the Iron Armor stood in the middle of the room, only much larger than Iron Man's Iron Armor.
Just as Schiller requested, all limbs had normal structural parts, but the chest to the abdominal cavity was empty. Some soft impact-resistant material had been installed, seemingly prepared to hold something.
"Impressive. Is it operable now?" Schiller examined the fake Iron Armor.
"No, there's still a crucial detail that needs to be taken care of." Ultron walked over to the front of the armor, pointing at the chest plate, saying, "There should be an energy source here."
"But I don't need it to fly, it's not it carrying me but I am carrying it."
"That's not what I mean, Mr. Stark's Iron Armor has distinctive light effects, especially the Ark Reactor on the chest, which has now become almost a symbol of Iron Man."
"According to online search results, 60% of New York City residents can recognize the night glow of the Reactor. If you're planning on faking it, you can't skip over this detail,"
"Can't you just use some other kind of light to disguise it?" Schiller asked.
Ultron shook his head: "That is not just light; it is an unique glow from a special energy source. Mimicking it with a regular light could work but it might easily give it away."
Schiller took a deep breath, somewhat troubled, asked, "So, I still need to find a light bulb for it?"
"Well, if you insist on phrasing it that way, I suppose so." Ultron clearly didn't agree with Schiller's reference to the high-tech Ark Reactor as a light bulb.
"Whatever then, wait here." After uttering those words, Schiller left the basement and dashed towards the Stark Building.
When he entered the Stark Building's lab, Stark was fiddling with a pile of incomprehensible parts as usual.
"What brings you here?" Stark asked without raising his head.
"Indeed, it's something. I need a shiny new bulb for my new sanatorium's hall…"
"So?" Stark took the opportunity to pick up a glass of water and took a sip.
"Could you give me one of your Ark Reactors?"
"Pft!" Stark spat out the water, then hurryingly moved the wet parts away.
Stark glared at Schiller, opened his mouth momentarily and stared at Schiller's defiant look, he suddenly found himself speechless.
"Is it that to you, anything that needs energy and emits light is called a light bulb?" Stark asked a probing question.
However, Schiller shook his head, said, "To me, even something that doesn't need energy or emit light can be called a light bulb."
Stark snorted, "So it's the same principle you call yourself an average citizen, right?"
Saying that, he walked towards one side wall and pressed a few buttons. A door opened on the wall with darkness shrouded inside. Stark stepped in and came out less than a minute later, holding a bright Ark Reactor in his hand.
He tossed it to Schiller, saying, "Not the latest model, but it should be enough as a light bulb. Remember to renew my membership for two more years so that I can also sit in the hall where the Ark Reactor serves as the light and enjoy it."
"Aren't you afraid of me messing around with it?" Schiller asked.
Stark snorted again, sizing up Schiller. "It would indeed get weird if you managed to use it for anything other than a light bulb!"
With that, he returned to his workbench to continue his own work, while Schiller walked out with the Ark Reactor, murmuring to himself:
"If you say so, I guess I have to give it a try."
Back in the underground of the Arkham Asylum, Schiller threw the Ark Reactor to Ultron. Ultron clumsily caught it, admired it as though it was a treasure, and then with regret, tucked it into the chest of a dummy Iron Man suit.
Just like that, the deceptive yet seemingly real Iron Man suit was made.
Or perhaps, it was indeed a genuine Iron Man suit. The importance of the suit lay in the Ark Reactor at its chest. At that moment, although the reactor was unconnected to the whole suit and was merely ornamental, it still shone brightly.
Feeling satisfied, Schiller patted the counterfeit suit. Right then, the Gray Mist informed him that the Spirit of Curse had completed its task; the soul of Doomsday within the egg had completely dissipated.
Schiller removed the egg from the World within the ring, and then he crammed it into the body of the pseudo Iron Man suit. Then, closing the shell and levitating the entire Iron Armor with the Gray Mist, he floated it to the sky above New York.
It was late at night. The light of the Ark Reactor was brighter than the light from any window. In mid-air, while Schiller controlled the flying Iron Armor, he took out his phone and called Loki, saying:
"Loki! Stark says you're a fool! A God of Mischief who's been pranked! He's going to make your gullible look from the other day go viral all over the Earth!!!"
"Stark!!!!!!!!!"
Accompanied by Loki's roar, the glow of the Rainbow Bridge descended to the New York sky in an instant. A furious Loki appeared overhead in New York City.
She scanned the entire night sky of New York City, only to see, right at the very center, an ultra-bright light bulb. One didn't even have to look to know that it was the bright glow of the Ark Reactor on the Iron Man Armor, like the brightest star in the night sky.
"Crack!!!!!!!!!"
A colossal thunderbolt fell from the clouds, carrying a light that could illuminate the entire cosmos, and struck the Iron Armor in mid-air fiercely.
In Stark's lab, Stark was startled by the light of the thunderbolt. He looked up in confusion, glanced out the window, and found no anomaly. Then, shrugging, he lowered his head and continued his experiment.
At noon the next day, a just-awakened Stark received a call from Schiller, who told him, "I have prepared a birthday gift for you. Please come and pick it up."
"Don't play dumb, my birthday is in the summer."
Just as Stark was about to hang up, Schiller continued, "Do you think I'd give you a boring explosive? No, I've got a real surprise for you; you'd better come over and see...."
Stark pressed his hand to his forehead, taking a deep breath. He had a bad premonition. Therefore, he quickly got dressed, put on his suit, and flew to Arkham Asylum.
Schiller warmly welcomed Stark in his office. He said, "I forgot you had a birthday party in the summer. At that time, I was on vacation, so I prepared a belated birthday gift for you...."
"...What is it?" Stark folded his arms, squinting his eyes.
Schiller bent over, from behind his desk, blocked by a cabinet, he brought out… a little girl.
Schiller lifted the girl by supporting her armpits, holding her up like a pet dog to show Stark, then said, "Here's the gift, what do you think? Do you like it?"
Stark had an incredibly shocked expression, because he saw that the girl had a reactor on her chest just like his.
What's even more terrifying was that this little girl, the one Schiller was holding, looked at least 80 percent like Loki.
