Chapter 217 Does the Eternal Race have a Super Beast?

Lucas didn’t continue staying in the room. He strolled out to digest his food and, by the way, regularly gathered for a meal with his little buddies.

A private room in a small bar in the town.

Scott had already made contact with Hank and was currently dead drunk. In front of a few scoundrel friends, he showed off the shrinking and expanding minor functions of his combat suit, eliciting a burst of exclamations.

Lucas sat on the booth seating, timely offering a few compliments that made Scott float on air.

Taking a sip of beer, Lucas finally remembered Tony.

Counting the time, it had been a long time since he greeted Iron Man. Why hadn’t this guy mailed over the promised combat suit figurine yet? And the Pym Particles... Wasn’t that old man Hank worried about his wife?

Lucas casually split off a mental avatar, crossed most of the U.S., and arrived out of thin air in Stark’s top-secret laboratory.

In the center of the laboratory, Tony was sweating profusely, surrounding a fully transparent nano-polymer model as he performed the final calculations.

He had long since thoroughly mastered the space-folding technology left behind by Lucas, and at this moment he was scratching his ears and cheeks, attempting to integrate the space technology with the latest nano combat suit, so that he could create an even more powerful combat suit.

Tony was a perfectionist.

Although his own palladium poisoning was completely cured by Lucas, he kept dragging his feet on giving Lucas a combat suit simply because if he was going to build one, he wanted to build the best.

After all, this wasn’t handing the combat suit over to the U.S. government.

Hum!

The void rippled slightly, and Lucas’s figure condensed out of thin air, appearing right behind Tony.

"Hero Stark, still busy?"

"Holy shit!!"

Tony was startled by this sudden voice, shivering all over. The screwdriver in his hand flew out, and he almost jumped up, subconsciously clamping his legs together tightly.

Lucas looked at his comical reaction and teased, "Oh ho! What’s going on, little bro, were you scared back in?"

Tony turned around, and after seeing clearly that it was Lucas, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fack! Do you know that suddenly startling a great genius of this century will cause how many hundred-billion-worth inspirations to drain away? Be careful or I’ll just casually toss some industrial garbage and perfunctorily deal with you!"

Lucas let out a noncommittal chuckle.

Genius scientist?

Captain America back then mocked Tony on the aircraft carrier, saying that once Iron Man took off his combat suit, he was nothing.

That would be fine.

What was most outrageous was that in Marvel’s later movies, even some inexplicable sleepwalking woman could run over and mock Stark’s intelligence.

By comparison, Captain America didn’t have as many points to roast.

"Alright, I won’t scare you anymore. If our genius inventor gets scared limp, Pepper will still have to serve you shit and piss for the rest of her life, completely wasting a beauty!"

Lucas crossed his arms.

Tony was left speechless with dark lines all over his face.

"But looking at your posture, it seems you’re adding quite a lot of heavy ingredients into the combat suit!" Lucas casually pulled over a swivel chair and sat there spinning it around.

With his current ability, descending upon a single Universe made him both omnipotent and omniscient. With just a glance, he could comprehend all the truths of the Universe.

But Lucas chose to actively seal off his omnipotent permissions. At the multiverse level, knowledge itself was a heavy curse.

He certainly didn’t want to live such a boring life. By then, in case he turned into a eunuch without desires, what difference would that make from being castrated?

Tony bent down to pick up the screwdriver, a look of fanatical and confident light emitting from his eyes:

"That’s right! I am trying to perfectly integrate the space-folding technology with my latest nano-polymer material! Once successful, this combat suit will possess infinite self-healing capabilities, as well as miniature different-space storage!"

"In other words, infinite repairs and infinite firepower! I can even put a large particle collider inside!"

Speaking of this, Tony stopped the work in his hands and looked at Lucas with a somewhat complicated expression:

"That’s right, previously such a huge catastrophe broke out in Sokovia, and the entire city was almost smashed into the Earth’s surface by Ultron. Why didn’t you make a single move?"

That battle could almost compare to the Battle of New York.

He had thought Lucas would intervene, but until after the battle, Lucas never showed up.

"Isn’t that kid Pietro getting hot and heavy with you guys?" Lucas rocked the chair. "With that kid around, do I still need to make a move?"

During the Sokovia period.

Quicksilver Pietro joined the Avengers with his sub-lightspeed sprinting ability. As a combat-experienced Speedster, he didn’t have the tradition of sacrificing himself to the heavens in this Universe.

Isn’t this tricky enough?

Pietro’s performance capability—reversing time every minute—was completely effortless.

Guarding the Earth’s timeline currently was Strange, and over on Strange’s side, it was certainly impossible to control Pietro from toying with the timeline. In terms of seniority, Pietro had entered the door more than a decade earlier.

In Lucas’s view, holding a Speedster in hand meant standing in an undefeated position.

Tony spread his hands: "Fine then, it seems that even an Earth-destroying level disaster doesn’t count as much of a big crisis in your eyes."

"Earth is not that easy to be destroyed." Lucas grinned broadly. "If Ultron really dared to smash Sokovia onto the Earth’s surface, there would be monsters popping out everywhere. At that time, those people definitely wouldn’t be able to sit still and would directly physically transcend Ultron!"

Tony had a bewildered look on his face.

He had no idea what Lucas was talking about.

But Lucas didn’t reveal it.

What he was talking about were the Celestials, as well as the Celestials’ thugs.

Those people had come to Earth long before humans were born. Their civilization was highly developed, and even the growth rate of humans was secretly assisted by this group of people.

Once the number of lives was sufficient, they could be sacrificed to the Celestial at Earth’s core.

Directly awakening the big boss.

By then, Earth would be like a broken eggshell, crack! It would explode on the spot.

If Ultron smashed a meteorite down and the Celestial was born before fully developing, then this kid wouldn’t be as majestic as in the hypothetical scenarios; instead, he would get beaten to a pulp by the Celestials.

Mentioning the Celestials, Lucas’s eyes grew slightly cold, and a certain face suddenly surfaced in his mind.

There was a black fatty in the Eternal. This guy knelt in the ruins wailing to the heavens during the Hiroshima Little Boy birth incident back then.

Lucas remembered it vividly!

Likes to cry, huh!

Times were really different nowadays; a rat acting as a bridesmaid for a cat, an evil super beast actually daring to disguise itself as a certain scientist? Find a chance and conveniently chop up that super beast!

According to a certain big shot of the Light, creatures like super beasts had no sense of pain.

Therefore, even if chopped into thousands of segments, they wouldn’t feel a shred of pain.

The more Lucas thought about it, the angrier he got. No way, I’m going to go deal with him right now!

"I’m going to slay a cs, you stay right here and don’t move around!"

Dropping these words, Lucas didn’t even open a portal and vanished from the swivel chair out of thin air.

Tony raised an eyebrow, too lazy to even turn his head to look.

He picked up the high-precision laser welding gun by himself and debugged the nano-crystals in front of him.
