"I created this small universe. For now, there's only one complete solar system, and it's fully arranged according to Earth's ecological environment."
Alaric explained as he guided the two of them around.
"You created it? Then aren't you the god of this universe!?" Tony exclaimed.
"Yes, in this small universe, I can do anything.
Not just here, I'm capable of everything beyond it too."
But Alaric didn't say that out loud, fearing Tony and Banner might think he was boasting.
"Magic really is incredible, but with your current power, I guess it's normal for you to create a small universe, isn't it?"
The more Tony talked, the less confident he sounded. He felt like this was still too unbelievable.
"How long did it take you to learn magic to reach this level?" Banner asked curiously.
"This level? When I first started coming into contact with magic."
Alaric recalled and said.
Tony, Banner: "???"
"You just started learning magic and you created a small universe like this? Are you messing with me?"
Tony looked at him suspiciously.
"That's a fact." Alaric shrugged.
"So how long have you been studying magic?"
"Probably… when I first met you, I had only been learning magic for a month."
"Then how can you be this powerful? Is it because your ability is just that good?" Tony was speechless.
He really couldn't come up with any other words to describe Alaric.
"Well, everyone says I have good talent."
Alaric nodded.
"Oh, okay. So, did you bring us here just to show off your small universe?"
Tony looked at the mountains in front of him, sighed, and said that you just can't compare with monsters.
"Of course not. I brought you here to show you this."
Alaric pointed ahead.
"The big mountain?" Tony frowned, confused.
"The length of this mountain range… why is it so long?" Banner was confused too.
"I'll take you up to have a look."
Alaric said, picked them both up, and flew high into the sky.
Looking from above, Tony and Banner could clearly see the entire "mountain" and were shocked and speechless.
"This…"
"What is this!?"
"A person? Or some kind of monster!?"
"Oh my God! What am I looking at!!"
Tony and Banner couldn't help but gasp at each other.
"This is a newly born god among the Celestials."
Tony: "A god?"
Banner: "A god!?"
Tony: "A god… what is that!?"
"The Celestial Group is one of the earliest races of life born in the cosmos. They are cosmic gods. They stand two thousand feet tall and wear armor all over their bodies. They were also the first beings to bring light into the universe."
Alaric explained.
"The first life to be born… cosmic gods!?"
When he heard that, Tony shuddered, and goosebumps appeared on his skin!
Banner was also extremely tense.
"This is that so-called Celestial divine clan!"
This was even more exaggerated than when they first heard about Odin!
They knew a bit about Odin's mythology, but this was the first time they'd heard about this so-called Celestial God Group!!
"And their strength… are they stronger than Odin?" Tony asked blankly.
"Definitely strong. When Odin was young, he gathered several powerful figures to drive them off Earth. Moreover, Odin relied on the Destroyer Armor and the full power of Asgard to defeat them."
"Even stronger than Odin!?"
Tony was shocked.
"Then the question is… why is such a powerful god's corpse here with you?"
"So you killed a Celestial?"
Tony figured that if it was Alaric, it wouldn't be strange if he had done something like that.
After all, Thor had said that Odin personally admitted Alaric's power had already surpassed his.
"This is a god that just awakened on Earth." said Alaric.
"On Earth? Is that the solution you mentioned earlier?" Tony responded.
"That's right."
"What solution? Are they enemies?" Banner was puzzled.
"Let me put it this way: the birth of a Celestial requires a planet with life energy to carry it and to absorb the energy of intelligent life. Once it fully awakens, that planet will no longer exist.
Understand?"
"So if this Celestial successfully awakens and you don't stop it, Earth will also be destroyed."
Tony nodded, showing he understood.
"That's right."
"So why are you telling us this?"
"The corpse of a Celestial is extremely powerful and worth your research and development. If you can rework it into a mecha, Earth will have an extremely powerful weapon."
When Alaric said that, Tony's eyes sparkled!
Huge mechas!?
Physical defense comparable to a god!?
This is simply the most powerful iron warrior!!
Tony felt that instead of creating the Iron Legion, it would be better to directly create the Iron War!!
It just so happened that his artificial intelligence was already developed.
If Ultron were fused with the body of a Celestial, wouldn't it be directly invincible!?
Tony had already sketched out a blueprint for the future in his mind.
If Alaric knew what Tony was thinking, he'd probably smack him.
At that moment, Alaric didn't know that Thor had handed over the Mind Scepter and the Tesseract to Tony.
The Age of Ultron, which wasn't expected to happen, now seemed to be back on track due to Odin's mistake.
"Well? Are you interested in researching it?" Alaric asked.
"Yes, yes! I'm very interested!" Tony replied excitedly.
Banner nodded as well.
As a science nerd, how could he not be drawn in?
"Alright, I'll leave you a portal. You can study it directly here without moving it out."
Alaric thought for a moment and said, because in the end, it would be difficult to find space for something this huge.
It's better to keep everything in the small universe and let Tony do as he pleases.
In any case, Alaric had great confidence in Tony's and Banner's abilities. They would surely know how to make the best use of this Celestial body.
As for how long it would take, Alaric didn't care. He didn't need it anyway.
"Alright, alright! But can't you let me open the portal myself? I'll need a lot of equipment later."
Tony made a request. After all, for a body of this size, the needed equipment would probably be considerable.
And when the time comes, Tony would also need to bring people to work.
So if Alaric leaves a fixed portal here, it would be very inconvenient to transport things or bring people.
"Sure, sure."
Alaric raised his hand and left a magic seal on Tony's hand, linking it to his magical energy.
"If you want to come back in, or go somewhere, or see someone, just picture the destination in your mind and you can open a portal."
"Really!?"
When he heard that, Tony immediately tried it.
In an instant, a portal appeared before Tony's eyes, and on the other side was Pepper Potts.
"…You really are incredible." Alaric was speechless.
"Tony?" Potts turned and looked at the three Tonys across from her, confused.
"I can use magic too!!"
Tony shouted happily!
