Chapter 1750 Norman Arrives
At the edge of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, in an absolute abyss beyond the reach of sunlight, cold and high pressure reign supreme. This place is not desolate, but rather harbors the oldest and most powerful secrets of the Earth.

At this moment, a primal, chilling rage is awakening in this eternal darkness.

"Roar--!!!"

The silent roar was not transmitted through sound waves, but rather a terrifying pressure originating from the atomic core and resonating directly at the soul level.

Its target is clear and singular: Connors, the being who once shared some ancient bloodline with it and whom it detested as a homologous entity.

Devour it, absorb its power and core, and become the unique and invincible ultimate Titan!

The steel fortress that stood in its path, shimmering with a faint artificial light—"Neptune's Eye of Insight"—became the first stumbling block on its path of revenge.

Those tiny, fragile humans within the fortress who dared to spy on and control the Titan's power were, in its perception, nothing more than insignificant dust, or... an appetizer.

The colossal body of the beast "Osborn"—whose silhouette, refracted by the shimmering biomes of the deep sea, resembled a moving mountain range—began to silently adjust its orientation.

The behemoths do not roar—in the deep sea, sound is an ineffective weapon.

It relies on the surging power generated by the biological furnace inside its body.

Powerful muscle groups drive limbs covered with a special, streamlined carapace. Meanwhile, special glands at the base of its dorsal fin secrete nanoscale hydrophobic substances, forming a continuously renewing supercavitary membrane around its body.

This membrane greatly reduces friction with seawater, allowing this behemoth, weighing tens of thousands of tons, to silently burrow into the deep sea at an almost "ghostly speed" that is disproportionate to its size, leaving behind only a trail of fleeting, enormous cavitation eddies.

It was launched, its target the distant underwater base that represented humanity's cutting-edge technology and arrogance.

Wherever it goes, the deep-sea ecosystem collapses instantly.

Ancient hagfish, bioluminescent squid, and even enormous deep-sea giant squid all fled frantically in the face of overwhelming fear stemming from their life instincts.

The water seemed to become viscous and sluggish due to the force field it emitted, which combined biological radiation fields with the pressure of apex predators, as if space itself was frozen under its majesty.

Meanwhile, deep within this fortress of human ingenuity and industrial achievement, this fortress-like base is a nested spherical structure, deeply embedded in the seabed rock layers, each layer representing a different level of protection and function.

Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner are standing on the observation platform of "Poseidon's Eye," the most central and heavily guarded area of ​​the entire base.

This is the place where you can face "Connors" directly.

The design of the entire underwater base represents the pinnacle of human engineering, with each layer building upon the previous one to create a barrier against extreme environments.
1. Outermost layer: Deep-sea barrier - composed of several meters thick ultra-high strength titanium-ceramic composite armor and Hastelloy frame, with the surface covered with active piezoelectric anechoic tiles to counteract deep-sea pressure and absorb sonar detection at specific frequencies.

Equipped with a high-power searchlight array, multi-band sonar, electromagnetic pulse detectors, and physical defenses (such as high-pressure water jets and retractable rams). Internally, it contains massive ballast tanks and interfaces for external life support systems, responsible for balancing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the base and supporting the activities of personnel on the outer perimeter.

2. Observation Layer: Eye of Neptune - includes the main control center, living area, life support system and remote observation array.

The enormous multi-layered composite observation window is made of high-strength diamond and sapphire composite material and is equipped with state-of-the-art optical sensors and energy filters.

This is the base's "brain" and "eyes".

3. Isolation Layer: The Wall of Sighs - an absolutely clean and highly isolated transitional space.

Entry into this level requires a rigorous airtight, watertight, and multi-stage particle purification process.

Air, water, and even any possible molecular-level contaminants are thoroughly filtered and removed to ensure environmental stability in the core internal area and prevent any external interference from affecting the precise monitoring and instrument readings of "Connors".

It consists of alternating layers of depleted uranium alloy plates (providing extremely high-density shielding against gamma rays and neutrons), boronized concrete (absorbing thermal neutrons), high-purity lead (shielding gamma rays), and a special nanoscale molecular sieve filter layer.

The interior maintains an extremely high positive pressure and ultra-clean environment (Class 100 or higher), with air filtered through multiple layers of HEPA and ULPA filters and mixed with inert gases. All materials entering this area must undergo rigorous decontamination and disinfection procedures.

This place houses the base's most sophisticated instruments: gene sequencers, mass spectrometers, and high-energy particle accelerator miniature terminals for analyzing Connors biological samples; miniature neutron detector arrays and high-purity germanium gamma spectrometers for monitoring internal nuclear reactions; and gravitational wave interferometers and space curvature detectors for studying the "Changwei" force field.

4. Core Layer: Eye of Poseidon - Located at the deepest part of the base, directly facing "Connors".

There is no traditional observation window here; instead, indirect observation is achieved through multiple energy field constraints and a remote high-dimensional sensor array.

Space itself is stabilized by a powerful force field.

At this moment, in the center of the core constraint field of the "Eye of Poseidon," the massive shell of "Connors" is radiating a destructive light that is impossible to look at directly.

It was forcibly "frozen" in a critical state by "Chang Wei" using multiple, incomprehensible methods:
Molecular motion-locking field: A powerful field that warps local spacetime, greatly suppressing the thermal motion of the atoms and molecules that make up Connors' body, forcibly "pausing" the violent nuclear reaction process inside it at the last moment before the explosion.

Multiple energy/gravitational confinement fields: Powerful graviton beams and energy barriers act like an invisible cocoon, firmly binding the violent energy released by the Connors core—deadly gamma rays, high-energy neutron streams, and incandescent plasma—within a tiny space near its surface, preventing its spread.

Space fold barrier: Using space technology that is not yet fully understood, microscopic space folds were created around Connors to divert some of the outward radiated energy into higher-dimensional space or deflect its path, greatly weakening the radiation intensity.

Even so, the multi-layered composite filter layer (composed of high-density lead-tungsten alloy, boron-containing polyethylene neutron absorber plate, and liquid scintillator detector/shielding layer) that Tony Stark subsequently built to cover the confinement field still withstood enormous pressure.

The surface of the filter layer shimmered with an ominous blue-purple light—a phenomenon caused by Cherenkov radiation produced by slowed-down high-energy particles in the medium.
