Just as Scott Lang said, the Ice-Blue Dirge was an ice-firing gun. With several deep, muffled bangs, a few ice rounds were launched.
But—just like always—they instantly melted upon hitting the pure-white floor of the system space.
No one could tell how powerful they really were.
"This really is an ice-freezing gun… the real deal," T'Challa said, slightly surprised as he examined the Ice-Blue Dirge. "This is my first time seeing a weapon designed like this."
"Lang," Thor asked curiously, "how strong is this thing supposed to be? The rounds look too big. There's no way they can penetrate a human body, right?"
He wasn't wrong. The rounds fired by the Ice-Blue Dirge were much larger than anyone expected and didn't look like normal bullets at all.
They weren't even sharp. In a sense, the "round" was more like a blunt-impact projectile—
—not something meant to pierce.
"Obviously, the bullets definitely can't penetrate a human body," Tony Stark said with certainty. "But… getting hit by one will definitely ruin your day."
"So this gun can't kill?" Strange frowned slightly.
A gun that couldn't kill was basically a useless weapon.
"You're half-right. This gun can't kill—no, no, let me correct that. It can kill, just not in the way you're imagining."
Scott Lang first nodded, then immediately shook his head, giving everyone an explanation.
"The actual mechanism is freezing. The projectile is just the delivery method—it's not a bullet in the normal sense."
"When the ice round hits someone, it doesn't rely on blunt force. It instantly releases freezing energy onto the target."
"Magical, right? But it's true—it's awesome! This gun can freeze a person into an ice sculpture!"
"So yeah, it won't kill you outright. But if you fire a few more shots? It can freeze someone to death."
After Scott explained it, everyone finally understood what kind of weapon the Ice-Blue Dirge really was.
Honestly—everyone was very satisfied.
It didn't kill, but it could immobilize.
Perfect.
"I love this reward. This gun is literally made for me!" Scott said excitedly.
With this gun, wouldn't future missions be smooth sailing for him?
Even if he were caught, a couple of shots would freeze the problem away, and he could walk out casually. Too convenient.
No, no—he was just imagining things. He would definitely never do anything sneaky ever again.
Scott violently shook his head to fling away the intrusive thoughts, then took out his enlarge-shrink laser gun, shrank the Ice-Blue Dirge, and slipped it into his pocket.
Perfect.
[Answer complete. Beginning playback of the answer explanation!]
With the system's prompt, a new video began to play.
The night scenery appeared. A business van was parked quietly by the roadside.
A man wearing a cleaning company uniform opened the door, stepped in, and sat in the passenger seat.
He turned to the back and said, "We're ready."
"Wish me luck."
Scott Lang, already wearing the Ant-Man suit, opened the back door, instantly shrank, and dove into a sewer drain—vanishing.
"Scott? Dave?"
In front of the screen,
Scott Lang blinked in disbelief.
These two guys were here too?
Before being dragged into the quiz system, he'd actually been teaming up with these two to rob some rich old guy.
And in the future, he'd apparently still be working with them to infiltrate Klaus Tech—a super-level mission?
They really did become a golden trio.
Onscreen—
In the dark, filthy drainage tunnel, Scott stood on a "raft" formed entirely by tightly clustered ants, drifting forward with the flow.
Everyone watching clicked their tongues in amazement.
They never expected Scott Lang would one day control ants.
Not just that—control them this effectively.
In the previous video, when he infiltrated the Avengers Facility to steal the prototype device, he'd also flown in on ants.
Ants were doing half his job for him.
Using this absolutely insane method, Scott followed the drainage line, infiltrated Klaus Tech's water system, and finally burst out from a faucet.
Silent. Perfect.
"I never imagined someone could infiltrate like this," T'Challa exclaimed.
This method was unstoppable. No defense system was designed to detect… ants.
Soon afterward, rustling noises echoed. Countless ants entered through faucets, drains, and vents.
Then they moved through ventilation ducts and gathered in a data server room.
Under Scott's control, waves of ants crawled into every gap in every server, covering them completely.
Then—
The electronic components many ants carried lit up.
Crackle—!
A massive electric surge overwhelmed every machine. All data servers were instantly destroyed.
One word: savage.
Two words: absolutely savage.
It completely redefined "infiltration."
After eliminating the servers, Scott flew on Antony through several routes until reaching a narrow pipe opening.
"Reached the final position," he reported through comms.
He glanced down the pipe and saw a lattice of laser beams.
Obviously, Klaus Tech had prepared this laser grid specifically to counter Ant-Man. Only a laser net could stop something as small as an ant.
With the help of his two unreliable teammates, the lasers were disabled just in time.
Scott slipped through and entered a micro vault.
Inside, a yellow suit rested quietly on a display stand.
As expected, it was identical to the Ant-Man suit—just yellow.
Wings on the back.
A full wasp aesthetic.
This was, without a doubt, the Wasp Suit.
Scott prepared to steal it, but at the critical moment, the display retracted!
The suit was pulled into a hidden chamber.
Scott completely missed it.
And the laser grid reactivated, trapping him inside.
"Hello there, little guy."
A voice sounded as a large face appeared outside the transparent vault.
A bald man tapped on the vault mockingly.
Klaus, of course.
As the quiz system had said, Scott had walked straight into Klaus's trap. Klaus had been aware of this infiltration for a long time.
"So this is Klaus?" Scott muttered from the audience. "He definitely looks like a villain."
The older quiz veterans also had zero goodwill toward him.
Kicking out your own mentor… yeah, that'll do it.
"I always suspected you hid the suit somewhere."
Klaus spoke with smug confidence toward Hank Pym.
"So tell me—who's the new Ant-Man?"
"Who is the one the teacher I once respected trusts more than me?"
"Scott Lang!"
Klaus even displayed Scott's photo on the monitor. "A warrior who challenged his company… and lost his wife and daughter. The perfect candidate. Well chosen, Hank."
"He disappeared after escaping prison without a trace. Simply vanished!"
"He's broke… but today, he's delivered the Ant-Man suit right into my hands."
From these words, everyone understood perfectly: Klaus had been watching Scott from the very beginning.
Even Hank Pym.
Everyone had been in his web from the start.
He had planned everything from the moment Hank met Scott.
His schemes ran deep—very deep.
"What the hell—?" Scott froze in front of the screen. A chill crawled down his spine. "Klaus investigated me this thoroughly? When did he start watching me?"
Even though this hadn't happened yet, Scott felt deeply uncomfortable.
This was nightmare fuel.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Inside the micro vault, Scott punched the walls desperately.
Pointless.
The sound was hollow.
"Hank, don't do this," Pym said tiredly, "If you sell the suit to these people, the world will fall apart."
"I already sold it. At double the price—thanks to you."
Klaus sneered. "Breaking into the Avengers Facility isn't easy. Fortunately, news spreads quickly."
Clearly, he was referring to Scott's previous infiltration shown in the earlier video.
"I'll sell them the suit, but I'm keeping the particles. The suit doesn't run on diesel—they'll have to keep coming back to me."
His calculations were truly impeccable.
"Darren, turn back now. It's not too late."
"It's too late. Far too late."
Klaus nodded to several suited guards.
Clack!
Clack!
Guns were drawn and aimed at Hank Pym.
"Told you—this guy is absolutely not a good person. Good people don't casually point guns at someone's face," Scott complained.
Onscreen—
Hope Pym, seeing her father threatened, immediately snatched a gun from a guard and aimed at Klaus.
But more guards drew their weapons, aiming at both her and Hank.
The tension skyrocketed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Scott, trapped in the vault, panicked and thrashed uselessly. The vault shook, but nothing happened.
Then—his brain finally switched on. He gave up brute force and pulled two blue discs from his suit—
—the enlarge discs.
He flicked them at the glass vault wall.
Crash!
The supposedly indestructible vault shattered instantly.
Scott burst out.
Naturally, a fight broke out. Scott and the Pym father-daughter duo teamed up against Klaus and his men.
With Scott's help, they defeated the "villains."
Klaus fled with his bodyguards in a panic.
The image froze.
Honestly, this "movie segment" was fantastic.
Using sewers and drainage systems to infiltrate was something none of the quiz participants had ever imagined. It was fresh, clever, and impressive.
"Now I finally understand why Scott Lang is called Ant-Man," Thor said, patting Scott's shoulder. "Not just because he shrinks—because he can control ants!"
Everyone agreed—controlling ants was genuinely fascinating.
No one ever imagined such tiny creatures could be so useful.
In both previous videos, ants played a critical role in Scott's missions.
They weren't just his mounts—they even saved him at the last moment.
During the fight with Klaus, Scott was briefly held at gunpoint.
But a swarm of ants crawled onto Klaus's hand, biting madly, forcing him to drop the gun.
Absolutely brilliant.
"I really didn't expect Lang to have this kind of ability," Tony admitted, genuinely impressed. "How did you even do it?"
"I have no idea!" Scott said helplessly. "I can't control ants at all right now. This is just as weird for me as it is for you."
"I believe Hank Pym taught Lang," T'Challa said. "Think about the footage—at the end, the ants stopped Kla—"
(And the scene continues.)
