"Hey Aaron, lend a hand!"
Tony's eyes lit up when he saw Aaron.
Ivan, a man of few words but fierce action, heard this halfway and looked over.
His lips twitched, and his left electric whip swung heavily, tearing a gully in the ground.
"I wouldn't recommend that, you'll regret it."
Aaron instantly predicted Ivan's next thought through his facial expressions and hand movements.
Upon hearing this, Ivan's lips curved into a sneer.
The arc light on his chest glowed brightly, and his right whip burst with electricity, tearing through the air with a whooshing sound as he leveraged his exoskeleton.
Aaron didn't look away, but his left hand lightning-fast grabbed the electric whip, which was capable of tearing through steel.
The lightning still crackled, seemingly telling its owner: I didn't hold back, I did my best.
Ivan was quite surprised.
Watching Aaron remain unharmed despite the continuous damage from the high-temperature lightning, the bamboo skewer in his mouth unconsciously fell out.
"Aaron, I knew you could do it!"
Tony's face lit up with joy, equally surprised by Aaron's performance.
He thought Aaron would fly into the sky, he didn't expect him to be able to hold the electric whip with one hand and remain unharmed.
Ivan said, "Gibberish…"
Aaron tilted his head. "Speak human."
"Why are you helping Tony ?"
Aaron's face was full of question marks. "I already warned you not to make a move. I'm just a passing Kamen Rider."
With that, he disregarded Ivan's thoughts, gave a gentle pull, and the latter flew into the air, landing in front of Aaron after a perfect arc.
Ivan's face paled with shock, and he quickly manipulated the electric whip in his right hand.
"Careful, this thing supplies at least three billion joules of energy per second. You'd better..."
Just as Tony was about to warn him, Aaron grabbed the electric whip again with one hand.
As Ivan increased the energy output, Aaron's entire body flickered with electric arcs, but quickly returned to normal.
Moreover, Aaron's mental state was noticeably better. It was as if the terrifying, nuclear power plant-like energy was a huge tonic for him.
"What were you just saying?"
Aaron looked over, and Tony's lips twitched. "Nothing."
Aaron ignored Tony. Under Ivan's shocked gaze, his eyes erupted with scorching hot rays, cutting the electric whip and exoskeleton, and placing them in Felicia's hand.
Then, under his control, his heat vision performed high-precision "surgery" on Ivan. He extended his right hand and removed the crude arc reactor.
"The power of the sun, all in my hands?"
Aaron copied Doctor Octopus.
Tony, who had walked over, glanced at it. "The technology is impressive, but the per-second cycle efficiency is a bit low. It probably only produces two billion joules per second."
"Hmm, using impact energy to concentrate ionized plasma channels is a good idea, but it's effective, not efficient. It can only be considered a decent knockoff."
A hint of doubt and surprise flashed in Tony's eyes, but his expression remained disdainful.
"Can I have this thing?"
Aaron squinted at him. "Do you think that's possible? It's my trophy."
"But this is absolutely a shameful knockoff, theft." Tony argued.
Ivan retorted, "You're the knockoff! Your whole family are shameful thieves and butchers!"
Tony could understand "butcher," but "thieves"?
Is he an idiot?
"Buddy, you're under arrest now. Come back with me and explain how you got these designs." Tony kicked him.
He was still a little scared, he almost really died this time.
"Sorry, he's my captive."
Aaron ignored Tony's astonished expression. The moment he put the arc reactor into his bag, he swallowed it with his right palm.
[Solar Core: A miniature sun has been born within your body, constantly releasing light energy to strengthen every cell in your body. If you can further strengthen it, even more significant changes may occur.]
Solar Core? A little sun?
Aaron was stunned. He suddenly had a bold idea.
Could he implant a sun in every single cell?
Every cell, with a separate sun for reinforcement.
How many cells are in the human body?
At least tens of trillions, right?
And that's just for an ordinary person. For someone extraordinary like him, a hundred trillion might not be out of the question?
Then his strength would skyrocket.
Aaron licked the corner of his lips, looking at the high-hanging sun in the sky.
He was tempted by this bold idea. However, the next instant, he dismissed the idea.
The idea was good, but he had to consider his current physical condition.
Although he could continuously grow stronger by absorbing sunlight, his body was still too weak compared to the sun's energy.
Trillions of suns...
Even if they were just little suns, releasing their power simultaneously would probably make him explode in an instant.
Wait!
He had Super Regeneration. If he exploded on one side and instantly revived on the other due to ample energy, wouldn't that be exploiting a bug?
Thinking further, if he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, could he use this move to self-destruct with them?
But how could he ensure that he still had cell residue after self-destruction? Should he prepare some cells in advance and put them in a safe place?
No, I'm thinking about it wrong.
Aaron thought about it and temporarily dropped the idea.
He was more worried about wiping out the entire Solar System the moment he self-destructed.
Speaking of which...
With the primal furnace's capability, creating a trillion suns would probably be as easy as drinking water. It's me who's limiting its potential.
Indeed, I'm still too weak.
Aaron reflected deeply and decided to be a little more diligent recently.
But then again, he had only been in this world for less than a week.
Aaron sighed to himself, deciding to set a small goal first: Ten Solar Cores to start.
At this moment, Pepper and Happy arrived late.
Seeing the messy scene and Ivan, who had resigned himself to fate at Aaron's feet, Pepper quickly handed the briefcase to Tony.
The latter hurriedly pressed the button, and armor covered his entire body inch by inch, even making Aaron's eyes light up.
With the Mark V protection, Tony's tense heart instantly relaxed. Noticing Aaron's gaze, he suddenly blurted out, "I won."
"???"
Are you sick?
Aaron couldn't be bothered with Tony. He lifted Ivan with his left hand and held Felicia in his right arm. Under the shocked gazes of the three, he rose from the ground, defying gravity.
Tony thought, 'I lost again.'
'Wait! Something seems to have been left unsaid?'
"Hey, where's my anti-radiation medicine?!"
Looking at Aaron, who had already flown thousands of meters away, his black dot even disappearing, Tony was helpless and didn't expect an answer.
He planned to go back and figure something out. However, Aaron's voice drifted with the wind.
"Come see me tomorrow..."
"What the f*ck! You heard all that?"
"Mm."
"...Damn it, I feel terrible."
Tony was speechless.
