Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

As Kurohane's loud shout echoed impressively, his eyes caught sight of the metal figure in front of him, and he immediately felt a bit awkward.

"Tony?! Why are you here?" Kurohane truly hadn't expected that the person appearing before him at this moment would be our very own Iron Man, Tony Stark! Tony was clad in his flashy gold and red Iron Man suit, his hands busy tinkering with the spaceship's control panel. A part of his suit was connected to the console, as if he was stealing some files!

Hearing Kurohane's exclamation, Tony turned his head reflexively. Seeing it was Kurohane, he immediately opened his mask, revealing his neatly trimmed classic beard! "Kurohane?! You've been gone for almost a week! I didn't expect to find you here?!" Tony's hands didn't stop moving; he was still operating the console in front of him. Kurohane, on the other hand, immediately put away his weapon and approached the busy Tony Stark.

"How did you find this alien spaceship?" Kurohane asked curiously.

"I put a tracker on you, and after the Obadiah incident that day," Tony explained, "I found that your tracker actually appeared in low Earth orbit, and then through the tracker's movement data, I calculated your trajectory in 30 seconds. Simple math, right?"

At that moment, Tony also finished what he was doing and pulled something that looked like a flash drive from the operation interface. He carefully stored it inside his armor, then joyfully embraced Kurohane. "My friend Kurohane, you truly are my lucky star! You actually made me witness this alien technology! With this data, Stark Industries will become the most advanced group on Earth in no time!"

Kurohane: (???)

Is it because of me? Why is Tony's way of doing things becoming more and more like Young Master Wayne?!

"Tony, this is theft!" Kurohane thought about it but still didn't pull out his gun. After all, their positions were different. He could even shoot and kill Skrulls, so what's the harm in getting some Skrull tech data?! "However, these alien invaders are not protected by Earth's law. Excellent! If possible, can you give me a more advanced Iron Man suit?"

"Hahaha, I knew you weren't a rigid person!" Tony was very pleased with Kurohane's current reaction. When he rescued himself from the Ten Rings' base, Kurohane was the most ruthless person he had ever seen, and his attitude towards enemies was: better to kill the wrong person than to let them go. So, as long as he was dealing with enemies, he could do anything!

After Nick Fury realized that Kurohane had breached the control room, he didn't hear any gunshots. Instead, there was the sound of cheerful laughter and chatter? And this laughter sounded very familiar! Carefully, he poked his head through the doorway and saw Kurohane and Tony hugging!

"Tony Stark?! Why are you here?!" Fury exclaimed.

"I came to find proof that our S.H.I.E.L.D. Director was betraying Earth, and now I'm honored to tell you, I found it!" Tony put his mask back on, then pointed the palm repulsor in his suit at Nick Fury. "Now the entire Earth needs an explanation! How could you conspire with aliens to invade Earth?!"

Nick Fury: (Eyes wide, dumbfounded)

Bastard! How could Tony, who used to be a playboy, become like Kurohane?!

However, Kurohane pressed Tony's arm and said softly, "Tony, Nick Fury is just a brainless idiot, merely being played by aliens. He didn't actively want to bring the Skrulls back to Earth. That should be Captain Marvel's problem. He isn't controlling these Skrulls, or perhaps he's very busy right now?"

Then Kurohane recounted the story of Captain Marvel to Tony, deliberately excluding Nick Fury from the incident. However, during Kurohane's narration, one thing piqued Tony's interest!

"What is this Cosmic Cube you mentioned? The one my father saved from the Arctic Ocean? It sounds like a massive energy source! Can it be used to develop energy for flying machines?" Countless little stars immediately appeared in Tony's eyes. The speed of light engine sounded amazing just by hearing about it. And that Carol, she seemed to have absorbed all the energy of the speed of light engine, and then she leaped and became a superhero. If I make a speed of light engine, I guess my combat power definitely won't be weaker than that Captain Marvel!

Kurohane, on the other hand, wasn't thinking about the speed of light engine, but about the Space Stone. He wasn't worried about how to become stronger in the future. Anyway, with the system, he could slowly get rewards. But for weapons like the Space Stone, instead of letting Tony snap his fingers to save the world, it would be better for him to fight Thanos after mastering the Space Stone!

However, the Cosmic Cube still needs to be handed over to Nick for now, at least until after the Battle of New York. Otherwise, the Mind Stone will always be in Thanos's hands. After Loki brings the scepter to Earth, he will be able to find a way to obtain two Infinity Stones. After the Battle of New York, he will go to England again. Then he will obtain the Reality Stone and will have three Infinity Stones in his hands. Adding the Time Stone in the Ancient One's hands, his side will at least have a 4 vs 2 situation. I'm at an advantage! Only the Infinity Gauntlet is missing.

I need to find a way to learn magic, or go to Asgard, let me try to find a Dwarf King who can make an Infinity Gauntlet or something. As for materials... I'm sure the black slaves digging mines in Wakanda have plenty of vibranium resources. Come to think of it, my trip to Wakanda also needs to be put on the agenda!

Nick Fury touched Tony's armor very curiously. Tony's update speed was too fast. Kurohane was in a coma for a week, and this kid actually updated his armor so he could fly out of Earth?!

"So Tony, you're just relying on this suit and a spaceship that's in stealth mode?" Fury asked in amazement.

"This suit can handle low Earth orbit flight. However, to ensure flight power, this suit doesn't have any weapon systems installed. As for how I found this stealth spaceship, the tracker didn't fail. I just made a hole in the spaceship and got inside, then quickly stormed the spaceship's system. Honestly, this spaceship's level of technology in electronic warfare isn't very good, it's like a Castration version!" Tony looked at Nick Fury very proudly.

However, he was only happy for less than a few seconds before being interrupted by Kurohane. "Then did you find any traces of others?"

"Others?!" Tony frowned, looking confused.
