Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 238 Tony: Me, the One with Magic
"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

"Tony! Open the door! The community is bringing you warmth!"

Outside the Stark family villa, Luca, who had rushed over in a great hurry, was banging on the door.

"Jarvis, open the door! I've brought Tony some good food!"

However, Lucado didn't even need to shout; he hadn't even slammed the door a few times before the villa door opened automatically.

Luca walked in with practiced ease, and at the same time, Jarvis's voice rang in his ears.

"Mr. Orange, Mr. Stark is testing the mech in the underground laboratory."

As Jarvis spoke, he also projected a virtual arrow in front of Luca.

However, Luca simply waved his hand casually.

"Hey, there's no need for that. I'll go find Tony myself."

Given his familiarity with Tony, this wasn't the first time he'd visited this villa. Luca, carrying a food box, walked enthusiastically toward the underground laboratory.

However, upon arriving at the laboratory, Luca discovered that it had undergone significant changes compared to before.

On the left, there are still various old-model Mark armors displayed in the showcases. However, a large area in the center of the laboratory has been left empty, with a large number of complex symbols engraved on the ground.

Looking at the center of the area, which clearly resembled a magic circle, Tony Stark was intently engraving runes while holding a helmet visor from the Mark armor. Even Luca, who had been so enthusiastic just moments before, couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"No, Tony, what are you doing?"

Tony, who was carefully carving magical runes, didn't even look up, remaining focused, and simply answered with a few words.

"Luca, magic is so useful!!"

"I've been reading through a lot of ancient runic materials these past few days, and I'm preparing to enchant my mask with a mental shielding spell!"

"."

Hearing Tony's words, Luca, who was already speechless, was even more at a loss for words.

"No way! Get your facts straight! You're Tony Stark, Iron Man! A tech mogul! Don't go astray!"

Upon hearing this, Tony stopped what he was doing, looked up at the 'broken' Luca with some confusion, and said nonchalantly.

"You call me a big shot? You have a good eye. But magic is just one kind of science. Didn't you say that yourself?"

As he spoke, Tony raised his palm.

Immediately afterwards, a white light suddenly appeared in Tony's empty hand.

Although the white light flickered and looked as if it might go out at any moment, it was indeed a simple lighting magic spell.

"This this."

"It's very simple. It uses a plasma field to compress inert gas in the air and then electrocutes trace elements to stabilize the luminescence effect. It's not much different from a regular fluorescent tube."

"Even the power supply comes from this; the magic runes only serve as a kind of simple circuit board."

As he spoke, Tony dispelled the white light in his palm, tapped the arc reactor on his chest, and acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Seeing this, Luca straightened his jaw, which had almost dropped in astonishment, and asked with a hint of helplessness.

"In just two days, you've already miniaturized the device for converting electricity into magic, and even figured out the effects of so many new runes?"

Upon hearing this, Tony simply shrugged, as if to say something.

Is this difficult?

Luca could only shake his head helplessly and then asked another question.

"But didn't you say you were planning to take some time to research parallel world positioning and help Gwen find a way to go home?"

“Sigh, Spider-Sister said she wants to think about it some more, these kinds of things.” Seeing that Tony also looked quite helpless about this, Luca couldn’t help but shake his head.

It seems that Tony, like himself, doesn't intend to interfere with Gwen's own choices.

However, Luca quickly put these things out of his mind.

Remembering the purpose of his visit today, he chuckled to himself.

He picked up the food box and handed it to Tony.

"Hey, I found a really great burger place and came all the way here to bring you a taste."

Seeing this, Tony took the food box from Luca without hesitation.

His germaphobia only applies to unfamiliar strangers, but even so, he was still full of doubts when he looked at this food box.

"What, you need my help now? I've never seen you so eager before?"

Upon hearing this, Luca rolled his eyes at Tony and replied with obvious displeasure.

"How could you say that! Don't be ungrateful, I'm always happy to share good things!"

However, Luca's words only made things worse. Tony, who had already taken a hamburger out of the food box, paused, glanced at him with a dark expression, and muttered something under his breath.

"Last time I ate your last piece of sweet and sour pork, you almost tried to rip it out of my throat! And you were happy to share it?!"

Of course, even though he was muttering that, Tony's hands didn't stop moving.

He had been working day and night on experiments, and was indeed getting hungry.

The hamburger in his hand looked quite tempting, so he simply started eating it in big bites.

But before he could even take a few bites, Tony noticed that Luca was looking at him in an increasingly strange way.

'Did this kid put wasabi or chili in his burger? I couldn't taste it.'

However, Tony's gaze was strange, and Luca was equally puzzled.

"That shouldn't be the case! We should have gotten it in the very first bite!"

The hamburger wrapper was printed, designed, and packaged by Luca himself, and even the hamburger itself was 'assembled' by Luca himself.

It was all so that Tony could taste the 'treasure' in his very first bite.

How come I've eaten half of it and there's still no movement?
"You really are in the hamburger."

Upon hearing Luca's words, Tony immediately realized that he was indeed about to be pranked by the kid again.

However, before he could even finish speaking, he immediately felt his whole body getting hot, and his limbs became weak and sore.

"You little rascal! What did you put in your burger?"

"Hehe, this is good stuff, don't rush~"

"Sir, you."

Jarvis, sensing that something was amiss, was about to speak.

However, the next moment, a scene appeared in the laboratory that even made this artificial intelligence feel like it had shattered its worldview.

Tony, who had seemed to be poisoned, collapsed to the ground with his limbs weak and powerless, and his whole body began to shrink and become smaller.
No, it should be said that I've become younger!
The wrinkles on his face disappeared, the beard on his chin fell off, and the exposed skin became smoother and more delicate.

My whole being is becoming younger at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

However, the only drawback is...

This level of youth seems a bit too much!
