Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 289 Magic Generator, Tony's Doomed End (Third Update)

From the projection perspective.

As far as the eye can see, the scorched red earth is covered with terrifying demons of all shapes and sizes, stretching as far as the eye can see.

What's even more terrifying is that these countless demons, gathered together, did not fight or struggle, but instead dispersed in groups in a very 'harmonious' manner.

It's important to know that in most legends and stories, demons represent chaos and disorder.

Often, when they appear, the first to start fighting and killing are their own 'kinsmen'.

But at this moment, the demons in the projection were so quiet that it made one wonder if Vision had forgotten to turn on his recording equipment when he recorded this video.

But the next moment, everyone realized that the silence was just an illusion.

When Vision appeared through the winch barrier, the golden aura accompanying his holy form immediately activated the demons closest to the portal.

A cacophony of roars and howls erupted as countless demons surged toward the 'camera' like a tidal wave.

Claws, flames, acid, and even teeth.

In other words, Vision himself was in an invincible state; otherwise, it would be hard for anyone to imagine who would be able to withstand such an overwhelming offensive.

However, even with the invincible Vision activated, he could only fire two laser beams from above before retreating in despair, unable to break through the tidal wave of demons.

However, at this moment, everyone also understood why Vision had said earlier that 'that winch is a one-way defense'.

Thanks to the special structure of those scarlet teeth, the winch, which was incredibly sharp when it entered, did not cause any damage when it returned.

Even the massive horde of demons following Vision could easily navigate the winch and enter the Gates of Hell.

The scene abruptly ends there.

After that, everyone knows that Vision returned through the Gates of Hell.

"Gudong~"

Someone swallowed loudly in the quiet laboratory.

"Those ones."

Captain America had originally intended to say a few words to ease the tension, as the scene was too oppressive.

However, when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become somewhat hoarse.

After a moment of silence, Steve finally spoke again.

"Those demons don't seem to have any intention of entering the portal willingly. Perhaps there are some restrictions?"

Actually, even Steve himself didn't quite believe what he said.

Although previously only one or two demons would appear every now and then, the final wave brought out by Vision had no restrictions whatsoever.

If it weren't for the intervention of the crowd, who knows how many more demons would have stormed into Earth.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Rod, who was standing next to him, immediately retorted.

"If they really can't come over, are these guys having a team-building activity over there?"

"Perhaps they want to line up and breathe some of Earth's air."

Harry then told a lame joke, but no one in the room laughed out loud.

Fortunately, the three of them chatting back and forth eased the originally oppressive atmosphere a little.

Just then, Clint, who had been staring at the virtual projection, suddenly looked at Vision and asked with a serious expression.

"Can I rewind and zoom in on the image?"

Vision glanced at Luca upon hearing this, then nodded to Klint to confirm. "Yes, Mr. Barton."

"About 2 seconds, um, a little closer, zoom in on this position!"

Hawkeye gestured and pointed, indicating to Vision to zoom in on a scene he had just passed through the Crimson Wrench.

However, upon seeing the magnified image, the atmosphere, which had just eased, immediately became tense again.

"This looks like a generator? Are they performing a ritual to a generator?"

Dr. Banner said this with great hesitation.

There's no other reason than that the strange thing surrounded by demons in the scene at this moment is far too far-fetched to be called a generator.

Its shape was incredibly distorted, composed purely of flesh and bones, and surrounded by flickering flames and eerie red light.

Add to that the blood-stained patterns on the ground that resembled a cult ritual, and it's more believable that it's a demonic altar than a generator.

However, when Luca and Tony saw what it was, their expressions changed drastically!
"Magic Electricity Conversion Device!"

"Magic Generator!!"

Luca and the other man exclaimed in surprise at the same time, and although they were talking about different things by different names, they were actually talking about the same thing.

It was a device that the two of them had created during their previous joint research, in order to make it easier to replace the 'magical artifact' with the Ark Reactor, that converted 'electrical energy into magical power'.

However, the machine projected on the screen had a much more bizarre design than the original they had made. If the two of them hadn't been the designers and manufacturers themselves, they might not have been able to recognize it.

What Tony didn't know was that Luca later took this to show the King of the New York Sanctum.

Thinking about this device that can generate 'magic', could it give the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj another source of power, so they no longer need to borrow from those ridiculously expensive dimensional demons?

Well, of course, Luca was also thinking of taking the opportunity to get some better stuff for himself and start some new business.

Unfortunately, although Luca and Tony call the power derived from this thing 'magic,' it is essentially 'hell dimension energy,' and it is not 'conversion' but rather 'extraction.'

Kamar-Taj is a relatively legitimate organization. Powers like the 'Dark Dimension' and 'Hell Dimension' are probably only used casually by the Ancient One within Kamar-Taj.

This is not just a rule, but also a concern that mages who lack the necessary abilities might be corrupted by the evil represented by this power.

Therefore, Luca's idea of ​​'reselling magic' naturally fell through.

but
'The Hell Dimension itself already possesses Hell Energy, so why would they need to convert it using electrical energy?'

Upon realizing this, Luca's pupils instantly contracted.

'No! They're performing a reverse conversion, using magic to generate a stable electric current!'

"What needs electricity?!"

Luca immediately turned to look at Tony Stark.

However, he discovered that Tony, who had also noticed the device, was now nervously biting his nails.

"Tony! Do you know something?!"

Due to his intense emotions, Luca's shout was almost a roar.

The loud noise brought Tony back to his senses, but his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and his voice was filled with regret and bitterness.

"Those blood-red patterns are not from a ritual, but rather a stabilizing circuit for reverse spatial fluctuations."

"The positive spatial fluctuation stabilization loop was originally intended to smooth out spatial rifts on Earth."

"If it's the other way around, they might be trying to exploit weaknesses in space to open countless gates to hell on Earth."
