'Extorting' a Dinsional Lord?
Tony had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "phisto?"
Tony rembered.
A few months ago, the Avengers assembled for the first ti and went to the Quantum Realm to rescue Lucas.
However, they stumbled upon Lucas, two Ancient Ones, and phisto playing cards and conducting a transaction.
Lucas nodded, confirming Tony's guess. "That ti in the Quantum Realm, I earned two billion units of energy from phisto."
Hearing this number, Tony couldn't help but sigh. "Lucas, if you want to earn a lot of energy, it seems you still need to focus on Dinsional Lords."
Lucas nodded, he thought so too.
It was a simple mathematical calculation.
2 billion ÷ 30,000 / day ≈ 66,667 days ≈ 183 years
The energy extorted from one Dinsional Lord was equivalent to Lucas's effort for 183 years. This didn't even account for the stable annual inco afterward.
After marveling, Tony asked again, "Lucas, aren't you afraid of things going wrong?"
Earning energy from Dinsional Lords was indeed high-reward, but also high-risk.
Lucas smiled confidently. "No matter how many Dinsional Lords there are, they are no match for ."
Tony said, "Not just that, there's also the problem of dinsional energy corrosion."
"Don't worry, that won't be a problem at all. Tony, have you forgotten my special energy?"
When Lucas's special energy was ntioned, Tony imdiately connected two things.
"So, Lucas, you can convert ordinary dinsional energy into your special, harmless energy?"
"Exactly." Lucas nodded.
"What's the ratio?"
"1:1."
"Earning a price difference through energy exchange is a way to acquire energy." Tony mused.
"But the energy transmission problem is not easy to solve." Lucas said helplessly.
Tony explained, "No, Lucas, you don't understand business. Energy has no shelf life, so this problem doesn't need to be solved at all."
"Think of your special energy as a commodity. You can find distributors to help you sell it. That way, you can also earn energy from sorcerers and other deities."
Lucas's eyes lit up.
The dazzling bright light instantly made Tony and Steve unable to open their eyes.
"Tony, this is indeed a good idea." Lucas nodded with satisfaction.
It was indeed correct to ask a professional for business advice. He now had another thod to accumulate energy.
Once this sales channel was opened, the energy he could earn would probably not be less than what he extorted from Dinsional Lords.
Wait!
After extorting them, Dinsional Lords could also beco his distributors. The two were not in conflict.
For now, in the initial energy accumulation phase, he could only 'trouble' the Dinsional Lords.
With his mind open, Lucas also thought of sothing.
That was to emulate Galactus and cultivate agents to help him find Dinsional Lords suitable for extortion.
"Jarvis, get a wet wipe."
Tony covered his eyes, took the wet wipe Jarvis handed him, wiped his eyes, and then complained to Lucas, "Hey, Lucas, what's going on with your eyes? They suddenly beca like a flashbang."
Lucas explained earnestly, "That's called 'eyes lighting up.'"
"It ans suddenly understanding a truth or thinking of sothing new, having a new way to solve a problem.
"I'm complinting you, Tony."
"Shit!" Tony couldn't help but curse.
"Lucas, you'd better stop complinting Stark. I don't think he'll like this kind of praise."
On the other side, Steve also received a wet wipe from Jarvis. He placed the wipe over his eyes, rubbed them, and felt a little better.
Ever since Steve underwent the Super Soldier Serum injection experint, his physical abilities had greatly improved. Even looking directly at the sun was not a problem.
Being blinded by a strong light...
This was the first ti.
It could only be said that Lucas was too inhuman.
At this mont, Steve's idealized view of Lucas shattered.
Lucas's proactive actions against the cosmic bully Dark Order had once made him feel that Lucas was a person of great kindness and love, caring for all cosmic beings.
"Steve?"
Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice sounded.
"Is that you, Steve? Also, where is this?"
Bucky had awakened!
Ignoring the lingering stinging in his eyes, Steve removed the wet wipe from his eyes, opened them, and looked at Bucky.
"Bucky, it's ."
Steve got up and gave Bucky a strong bear hug. Then, he quietly asked Bucky about what happened after he fell off the cliff.
While the two were reminiscing, Tony also opened his eyes and looked at Bucky. His eyes flickered with a hint of danger.
After a brief mont of excitent, Steve rembered the important matter and asked worriedly, "Bucky, do you rember what you did in 1991?"
"I…"
Bucky opened his mouth, then closed it.
He had noticed Tony's gaze from the sofa.
In an instant, countless mory fragnts flooded in, helping him clarify the sequence of events.
"I know what I did. I'm sorry, Stark." Bucky lowered his head guiltily, his voice low.
"I know I hurt you, but I hope you know I'm truly sorry."
"You have no right to say sorry." Tony's voice was flat and cold.
This wasn't what he wanted to hear.
"You're right, I don't deserve to live." Bucky's body relaxed, completely without resistance, seemingly wishing for death.
"Bucky, that's not true. The person who did those things wasn't you. It was all HYDRA's fault." Seeing this, Steve quickly defended Bucky.
"I can speak for myself, Steve."
Bucky slowly raised his head, looked at Tony. "I did those things, and I take responsibility. But I truly am sorry."
Tony's tone was still flat, but a little less cold.
"Steve is right, it was HYDRA's fault. Sergeant Barnes, I don't need your apology.
"I just need you to tell who ordered you to assassinate my parents, Howard Stark and Maria Stark."
After careful thought, Bucky replied, "I don't know his na. I only know that others called him Colonel."
Tony continued to ask, "A HYDRA Colonel operating undercover in the forr Soviet Union? You should rember what he looked like, right?"
Bucky nodded. "I rember."
"Good, then describe him. Jarvis, based on his description, draw a sketch and perform a search."
"He was a…"
As Bucky spoke, a sketch of a middle-aged Russian man appeared on the screen.
"Jarvis, deduce his current appearance."
Tony continued to instruct Jarvis to deduce the Colonel's current appearance based on what he looked like over twenty years ago.
Bucky reminded, "In my mory, this Colonel's appearance hasn't changed. He must have also been injected with a special genetic serum."
"Jarvis…"
