Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 232 Planning to Slow Down for Now
Inside Orange House.

After seeing Nick Fury off, Luca and Tony looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two, who had almost caused a major disaster, were actually a little apprehensive when they saw the arrival of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Unexpectedly, after Nick Fury and his S.H.I.E.L.D. team had a general understanding of the situation, they stopped paying attention to it without saying a word and prepared to leave.

Even Nick Fury, who always considers himself second only to Luca and Tony, a guy who meddles in everything and sees everyone as a threat, didn't use any moral high ground or other excuses to coerce them into handing over their technology.

In the end, they simply used the excuse that S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to learn about Hell and to help the amnesiac Robbie find his identity to trick the silly Ghost Rider away.

"Did that hard-boiled egg suddenly change its personality?"

Tony looked at Luca, somewhat puzzled.

However, Luca, who was initially a bit confused, rolled his eyes when he saw Tony Stark looking the same way.

"How long has it been since I last saw this guy? Besides, I'm not even that familiar with Egghead, so how am I supposed to know why he's being so friendly today?"

However, as he said this, Luca quietly touched the watch on his wrist and asked casually.

"I think maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. has been too busy lately to deal with these things?"

"But speaking of which, what have they been busy with lately? Weren't you all together suppressing a rebellion not long ago?"

At this point, Luca was staring intently at Tony Stark.

However, Tony himself didn't notice Luca's expression; he was clearly still thinking about Nick Fury's unusual behavior today. He simply answered instinctively.

"They probably aren't busy with anything, right? The Hydra on the West Coast has been mostly wiped out. And just recently, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents also rescued some officials who were previously imprisoned by Hydra. Although they were corrupt officials, with their help, rebuilding order shouldn't require S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intervention, right?"

He does not mean that.

When Luca heard Tony say that S.H.I.E.L.D. had rescued some of the officials imprisoned by Hydra, a strange look immediately appeared in his eyes.

'Hydra is also detaining American officials? How come I didn't know about that?'

Thinking this, Luca glanced at the cup beside him.

However, after receiving a negative look from the other party, Luca hesitated for a moment but still didn't say anything more in front of Tony.

Tony himself didn't seem to dwell on the matter too much, and instead asked Luca about the demon experiments.

"Um, so, are you planning to try opening the Gates of Hell to search for souls later?"

Now, without the interference of magic, Hakimi has already successfully recreated Mephisto's transformation from a finger into a 'person', as well as a series of subsequent videos.

With Robbie, who had spent who knows how long in Hell, helping to analyze and explain, Luca and Tony now had a fairly clear understanding of Mephisto's clone and Gina's current situation.

However, neither Robbie nor Luca and the others knew the answer.

Has Mephisto's clone already sent the information back to his original body?

Therefore, whether or not to continue researching demons has become a somewhat difficult question.

Let's continue the research?
This time, they were already incredibly unlucky to have sent a Mephisto clone to Earth, which caused all sorts of messy things like dimensional fusion and a small-scale demon tide.

If they keep messing around like this, who knows what kind of stuff they'll get from opening blind boxes next time.

But what if we abandon the research? Putting aside the issue of Luca's mother, Gina, for the moment, what if Mephisto's clones can communicate with his main body in real time, and the demons of hell who know the situation here launch a reverse invasion?

If we don't know enough about demons, are we supposed to rely solely on conventional weapons to deal with these magical enemies?
In short, this matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal, and Tony wanted to hear Luca's opinion.

However, when Tony asked him, Luca didn't hesitate and gave his answer directly.

"Sigh, let's stop for now. I'm worried that if we open the gates of hell again, we'll really have to face the true form of the Lord of Hell."

As he said this, Luca also made a very unwilling expression.

Seeing this, Tony also sighed.

However, Luca was definitely somewhat dissatisfied with the situation.

But more than anything, I felt my own inadequacy once again.

With Robbie's help in analyzing the situation and confirming that Gina's condition was relatively stable, Luca was no longer in a hurry to take any radical actions.

Of course, more importantly, the construction of the base in Sokovia is nearing completion.

In addition, after working with Tony for some time, Luca has gained some new insights into the research on the solar furnace.

Although it would take some time for the Spotted Man to directly create the original solar furnace on Jupiter, he took a different approach and prepared to try to combine magical energy to create a true 'modified' version of the pseudo-solar furnace.

If the modified solar furnace and Yuri technology are fully unlocked, Luca's power will undoubtedly undergo a qualitative leap.

It would be much safer to bring my new science and magic army to attempt an 'invasion' of the Hell Dimension and bring back Gina's soul.

In fact, if Thor hadn't gone back to Asgard to continue suppressing the rebellion, Luca would have wanted him to take him on a dragon-hunting adventure across the Nine Realms.

Luca, who has already obtained quite a few demon souls, could immediately synthesize the [Pink Dragon Fruit] if he could also obtain a portion of dragon blood, thereby strengthening his own power.

'It's a dragon, after all, even if it's just a girly pink one.'

He thought about how he would personally fight the enemy after eating the [Pink Dragon Fruit].

After the enemy has gone through countless hardships to defeat your mechanical army, then break through the mech's outer shell.

As a result, he transformed into a dragon and unleashed a fiery breath at the enemy's forehead.

Luca almost couldn't even maintain his feigned disappointment.

'However, Asgard is out of the question for now. Is there anywhere on Earth where we can get dragon blood?'

"Speaking of which, isn't there supposed to be some kind of dragon bone hidden beneath New York? They've fought several times already, but it hasn't been exposed yet? But could there be blood inside the dragon bone?"

'That's not right either. Isn't there a dragon in that ten-ring secret realm? Maybe we can have Hakimi look for someone named Shang-Chi or Xu Wenwu.'

Luca was still lost in thought.

Tony and Gwen, seeing him deep in thought, assumed he was just fretting about his mother's situation.

They didn't bother each other any further and quietly left.
