"Tony Stark, who is fully protected by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Military, cannot be touched."
"But Ivan Vanko can be abducted and brainwashed to endlessly produce First-generation Arc Reactors!"
In fact, Michael really wanted to kidnap Tony Stark and have him make brand new Arc Reactors for him every day.
Even, making isotope-Kryptonite Arc Reactors, which are Tesseract shells, every day—that's the real deal.
Michael even suspected whether Kryptonite, this isotope of the Tesseract shell, had already gained the ability to link with the Space Stone, otherwise how could it have such powerful endurance?
Michael even suspected that as long as it wasn't used at excessively high power for a short time, with the Space Stone secretly providing energy, could the Kryptonite Arc Reactor operate permanently?
..."Although the energy of the First-generation Arc Reactor made with palladium is still limited, it is definitely enough for early development!"
"At least, compared to scavenging corpses, the First-generation Arc Reactor is at least ten, even a hundred times more powerful!"
"Perhaps, I could also infiltrate HYDRA?"
"Anyway, they'll all be overthrown by S.H.I.E.L.D. in the end, and even if S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't overthrow them, the Avengers will finish the job. Might as well let me take their resources for upgrades."
"There's also Wakanda; it seems they developed Vibranium into a new energy source? Perhaps I can try to absorb a wave?"
"Oh, right, the Inhumans' temple—the Kree's Underground City—it seems to have Terrigen Crystals inside? Can that stuff be absorbed?"
"Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, was forged from a dying star, wasn't it? Tsk tsk, a star, how vast is that energy? I just don't know if it can be directly absorbed?"
"Hehehe~~~ If Mjolnir were absorbed, I wonder if Thor could still complete an evolution?"
"I just don't know if there's Odin's divine consciousness inside the hammer?"
Staring blankly out the window, Michael was silently muttering and scheming in his mind.
"Oh, right, I've been transmigrated for almost a day now, and I still haven't checked out the situation in this World."
After Michael deliberated for a while, he came back to his senses. Looking at the remaining 9 points of energy, he didn't know what he could do with them. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't thoroughly understood this World yet, so he quickly retrieved the high-end Huawei laptop he had previously materialized to search for information.
When Michael was searching for housing to complete his identity, he hadn't checked the news section. Now was a good time to look.
"Captain America Museum?"
"Hmm, as expected."
"Osborn Industries Group, wait, let me take a closer look~"
"Norman Osborn's son, Harry Osborn, let me see, twelve years old?"
"Huh? Only twelve years old?"
"What the heck?"
"Middle School?"
"Just started junior high?"
"Hiss~~~"
"So, judging by the timeline, is it the Holland version?"
"But there's Osborn Industries, so is the Spider-Man here a composite type?"
"The Amazing Spider-Man and the Holland version merged?"
"Hmm~~"
"I'll try to make contact when I get the chance."
"Should I turn Peter Parker into Spider-Man in advance?"
"That Spider-Sense is also a very powerful ability. If I copy it and strengthen it, it would definitely be an incredible skill!"
"Uh… never mind, let's deal with Ivan Vanko first."
"Spider-Man is Marvel's favored son; copying his abilities would definitely consume a lot of energy."
"Hmm, let's look at other things."
"I wonder if this is a Movie Universe or a comic Universe."
"Let's see if there's any information about Mutants."
"Hmm, let me think, what was the name of that school in X-Men?"
Michael frowned and scratched his head.
"Oh, right, was it 'Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters'? I think that's it, right?"
"Let me check."
Michael's hands rapidly tapped on the laptop's built-in keyboard.
"Huh?"
"None?"
"What was the address again?"
"Let me think, let me think, think hard…"
"Oh, right, Westchester County, New York State."
"Specific address?"
"Wow, I really don't know that!"
Michael scratched his head again, looking a bit awkward.
"Forget it, what can I find by searching like this!"
"It's better to search directly by name, or directly by super-powered events."
"As long as Mutants exist, there will definitely be traces that can't be covered up!"
"Professor X Charles Francis Xavier, none?"
"Magneto's real name – Max Eisenhardt, none? Alias – Erik Lehnsherr, also none?"
"Wolverine Logan Howlett, none?"
"Storm Ororo Munroe, none?"
"Deadpool Wade Wilson, also none?"
"Mystique Raven Darkhölme, also none?"
"Then, the Sentinel program? Still none?"
"Then, William Stryker? Also none?"
"Last one, Trask Industries?"
"Still none?"
"None of these? That means this World isn't a comic Universe, right?"
Rubbing his temples, Michael's expression became much more relaxed.
Compared to the Marvel comic Universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is much safer… [This book will not feature Mutants, it's purely the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This chapter serves as an explanation. It's a public chapter, so don't mind the extra words~]
[X-Men: Dark Phoenix is coming out in two days. Looking at the trailer, the special effects are good. Author-Jun plans to check it out. Anyone else going? [smile]]
