Chapter 178 - Chapter 177: Determined Tony Stark

Tony believed Lan Luo's words, while Banner only believed about seventy percent of them, as some of it was quite fantastical.

Lan Luo entered Banner and Tony's lab and said, "So you two are almost there, just missing the Life Cradle Technology?"

Tony and Banner exchanged a proud glance, happy to show Lan Luo their research achievements.

"While it's somewhat unbelievable, that's the truth," Tony said with a touch of arrogance.

Lan Luo didn't say much, directly pulling out a giant humanoid metal box from his ring: "Here's what you need."

Tony instructed Jarvis to connect the power interface while telling Lan Luo, "It's almost time to witness a miracle."

"Don't say I didn't warn you, from a timeline perspective, your research almost wiped out Earth," Lan Luo said, amused, looking at the two.

The smiles on their faces instantly froze. Tony then asked, "Why? Didn't we give it commands to protect humanity?"

"Because all the chaos is caused by humans. High-level AI destroying entire planets is not uncommon in the universe." Lan Luo's words left the two speechless.

Banner then spoke, "Tony, maybe we should postpone the research. I also feel like something isn't right."

Tony, with some self-confidence, said, "I still prefer to trust myself. Banner, isn't this our shared research?"

Both looked at Lan Luo simultaneously, who could only say helplessly, "You need to be prepared to face a common enemy. Theoretically, what you create is immortal. It can survive through networks, and it can gain life through Life Cradle Technology. It will have few rivals on Earth."

Tony saw Banner still hesitating and continued, "We are mad scientists. We can use our research to protect Earth."

Seeing Dr. Banner nod, Tony finally relaxed. Without Dr. Banner's help, he couldn't have researched so quickly.

Lan Luo didn't pay attention to their conversation. He had already said what needed to be said. If he couldn't stop them, he could just have Daji turn its intelligent system into her subordinate on the network. Daji is a super AI that has absorbed the technology of many planets, and she also has the power of five Infinity Energy Gems.

Whether in terms of AI superiority or combat power, Daji could crush Ultron. What's wrong with having one more subordinate? She might even go find a vibranium body for herself.

Tony saw Lan Luo in a daze and reassured him, "My father has some records of the adamantium you mentioned. To fulfill my promise to you, I've had Jarvis look for Law's whereabouts."

"My father's notes record that Wolverine's superpowers were obtained through genetic modification and bone surgery. His genes were injected with a special alloy (like adamantium), altering his bone and muscle structure, thereby gaining superhuman strength, speed, and self-healing ability. This modification process is accompanied by intense pain, requiring dozens of needles to inject the alloy. Without self-healing ability, an ordinary person cannot withstand it."

"Genetic modification: Through special genetic technology, the alloy is integrated into the skeletal system, enhancing physical properties. Surgical implantation: Precise surgery is used to inject the alloy into the bones, forming an indestructible alloy body. This process requires enduring dozens of needle injections; without self-healing ability, ordinary people would die from the unbearable pain."

Dr. Banner listened to Tony's explanation with some distaste, which reminded him of his own past after being captured; the situations were not good.

Lan Luo went straight to the point: "Do you have the data from the genetic modification and surgical implantation at that time?"

For Lan Luo now, what he needed most was that self-healing factor and the alloy. As long as he got one of them, he could create a large number of subordinates. Then, through the contract, his power would become even stronger. Now his gaze was also cast upon the demon gods of the Dark Dimension.

If he wanted to make a huge improvement again, he could only collect the collections and countless years of accumulation of those demon gods. Dormammu would be a good choice.

Tony said somewhat awkwardly, "William Stryker was the one who conducted the experiments back then, and for some unknown reason, the remaining data was destroyed in the lab."

Lan Luo was also a little helpless after hearing that: "Then do you have the time and location of their research?" He wanted to use the power of the time stone to go back in time to analyze adamantium and extract some of Wolverine's self-healing factor blood.

If possible, he would extract more mutant blood. As long as he had mutant blood and the Devil Fruit's ability to replicate, he could quickly gain those people's abilities. And Ann also needed someone to follow up; the Aether was Lan Luo's last puzzle piece.

Now his chaos magic was also constantly improving, especially after studying the darkhold, but the magic in those divine books seemed powerful, but the cost was equally high, so Lan Luo rarely used dark magic. Lan Luo smelled a causal relationship in those divine books, and a feeling told him that if he extensively used the magic on the darkhold, he might lose someone important to him in this world.

This was the quantum entanglement Lan Luo developed after obtaining electromagnetism and the quantum realm, allowing him to see simple intertwined lines, but Lan Luo could not yet control this state.

If one day Lan Luo could fully control this state, he would no longer need to act; he would only need to impose causality on others, and the enemy might die in various accidents. But for now, Lan Luo could only utilize the rule power of the Lucky Fruit.

Tony then said, "I do have information on that. I can have Jarvis send you a copy."

Banner, on the side, didn't know what to say, only that this guy was too fierce; if he couldn't find the data, he would just cross time to find it himself.

Tony then spoke, "Lan Luo, if you go back in time, can you save my parents?"

Lan Luo shook his head and said, "Tony, I think you should know about the time paradox. If I did that, the timeline would collapse. Not only would it not save your parents, but it would also bring you endless trouble, especially since your current strength cannot escape the methods of the Time Variance Authority."

Tony shrugged and said, "Alright, I just wanted to try."

At this point, Lan Luo and Banner both looked at him speechlessly, which made Tony a little embarrassed.

"Alright, let's begin," Tony said, interrupting the conversation, wanting to create the super AI sooner.

Dr. Banner then returned to his computer, while Lan Luo unlocked the electromagnetic barrier and watched the two of them slowly merge the two artificial intelligences.
