Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 1017 - 806: The Correct Way to Switch Sides_2

In order to avoid destruction, he even chose to live a long life of isolation from the world.

As for Doctor Pym, it was even worse for him.

Due to prolonged use of Pym Particles, his body had begun to deteriorate, forcing him to minimize their usage as much as possible. Because of this, Ant-Man has long faded from the spotlight and is no longer active.

Whether it’s Banner or Pym, both are experts in their respective fields. Although their overall capabilities might fall short of Tony’s, they possess expertise in areas that even Tony can’t compare to.

They each have their own pride.

If it were anyone else offering them such a promise, they would surely scoff. But this mage before them? He had once performed techniques in Hell’s Kitchen that were nearly divine! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

If it’s him making such a promise, especially one involving magic, it indeed seemed highly plausible.

Moreover, the notion he proposed—that magic and science ultimately converge on the pursuit of the universe’s truths—was something they both found convincing.

"Alright, it’s not like I have anything better to do."

"I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to talk..."

Tao Yu had perfectly grasped their Achilles’ heels, and the two agreed without much hesitation.

Soon after, he and Tony moved into the experimental chamber aboard the space airship to begin some academic discussions.

Initially, Captain America planned to join in, hoping to reassure Doctor Pym by sharing about how Tao Yu had previously helped treat him.

But as soon as he entered and heard them spouting incomprehensible jargon, his head began to spin, and he quickly exited the room, overwhelmed...

——

"Oh, are all mages as learned as you? I’m starting to think that a so-called mage is simply a wise man who has mastered more knowledge..."

Pym stared at Tao Yu, who was attempting to replicate the Pym Particles, and a trace of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.

Although the replication failed, all the steps, theories, and principles had been fully grasped without a doubt—Tao Yu had entirely understood his thought process!

"It seems my practical skills are lacking. Perhaps Tony could manage this."

Tao Yu looked at the failed particle extraction experiment before him but did not show much disappointment.

After all, Pym Particles are unique artifacts within the Marvel World. If they were so easily replicated, that would be the real oddity.

However, Tony is this world’s Chosen One. If he were to master the relevant knowledge, perhaps he could actually fabricate it.

"Ha! Of course, it comes down to me. But these particles truly are incredible—they can interact with the Quantum Domain. It’s extraordinary."

With Tony’s pride, even he couldn’t help but show a sliver of admiration for Doctor Pym after delving into the wonders of Pym Particles.

"Hmph, naturally. Even your father was full of praise back then."

Pym, always proud and reserved, now felt a sense of satisfaction from Tony’s compliments.

"Oh, give me a break. Sure, you’ve accomplished a thing or two, but you’re still way behind compared to me."

Tony, as usual, refused to back down when speaking.

His father was already gone, and knowing now that he’d been murdered, Tony harbored deep grudges that he would never let go of.

The two then engaged in another round of sarcastic banter.

"Anyway, time’s running out. The Zirita fleet is expected to enter the Earth-Moon System today. We should start preparing."

Tao Yu clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention, and then turned to Banner.

"Dr. Banner, how about it? Do you feel anything yet?"

Tao Yu looked back at Banner, who now stared at him with gratitude and said,

"Oh, thank you, Master Jack. I think the method you suggested truly works. As long as I reduce my resistance to Hulk, we can coexist. Your meditation techniques have also been helpful."

"Glad to hear that."

Tao Yu nodded slightly.

Although the Zirita army was formidable, Tao Yu was confident he could march straight through and crush them if needed.

Yet, things obtained too easily are rarely cherished. If he did everything perfectly himself, any oversight or failure might instead be blamed on him.

Sometimes, people don’t appreciate warnings to avoid pitfalls ahead, but if they fall in and you pull them out, gratitude is guaranteed.

Now, the Earth needed to experience the Zirita’s strength firsthand—to understand the very concept of a star-faring civilization...

...

As the Zirita fleet drew closer,

images of their ships began appearing on the official websites of major space agencies and were widely rebroadcast by many.

A tense atmosphere of impending doom loomed over the globe.

Prices for food, medicines, and other goods skyrocketed, as everyone braced themselves for the forthcoming day.

"In three hours, the Zirita fleet will enter the Earth-Moon System. We will first attempt communication and dialogue. If diplomacy fails, for Earth’s safety, we will resort to military action to repel them. Please, do not panic."

The UN Secretary-General delivered this message in a globally broadcast speech that same day.

Countless people tuned in, anxious to see how Earth planned to respond.

But midway through the live broadcast, the screen suddenly cut to static. Moments later, the image shifted to a pitch-black space.

In this space stood a throne. As the camera drew closer and the shadows receded, the figure of Loki upon the throne came into view.

"People of Midgard, allow me to introduce myself. I am your future ruler, the King of the New World—Lord Loki."
