The mechanical craze in Marvel

At the same time, it was calculated what the cost would be to remove this curse.

Nolan spoke calmly, fully aware that the situation he was in was far from simple, and that any solution would inevitably come at a price. He was prepared for this.

The Queen then immediately began to conduct a full-body examination on him. Although technological methods and magical methods are different, the Queen was not only using technological methods. After so much time, Nolan Locke's transformation of the Queen had resulted in a Queen who now possessed a completely different personality from before.

While she hasn't yet reached the level of a fully intelligent life form, the Red Queen possesses a knowledge base that other super artificial intelligences simply cannot match. Her calculations naturally combine technology and magic to arrive at the final result.

This investigation was extremely complex and took a lot of time, but after Nolan Locke waited for a while, the Red Queen still gave the corresponding answer.

"I'm sorry, sir, we haven't found a way to break the curse in our current database. Perhaps we could try some other methods to see if we can resolve the curse. For example, we could find the creator of the curse and ask him to delete it."

At the same time, you can search for the corresponding magical databases on Earth and look for the information stored inside.

"Sir, would you like me to upload this information about the curse to the entire Locke Technology database?"

"Upload it."

Nolan Locke answered.

The current database is insufficient, but there are bound to be other places in the universe that know about similar curses and may have solutions. By uploading the data to the entire universe database, other civilizations may be able to find ways to break the curse.

This is also an excellent solution for him.

Even so, after hearing the Red Queen's answer, Nolan Locke knew that the situation he was facing was extremely serious. He realized that the Red Queen was probably incapable of solving the problem. Therefore, he could only have some hope for the solution, but could not place all his hopes on the Cosmic Database.

Perhaps I should really consider how to cause trouble for Morpheus.

Although Mephisto exists within a dimension, he believes that dimensions are not entirely harmonious worlds. He needs to be well-prepared to go find Mephisto, as Mephisto might not even have a chance to react.

Now, he needs some allies.

……

Chapter 380 Preparation

Dimensions are not places that can be invaded. Nolan Locke was well aware of the dangers within dimensions, so he had no intention of easily venturing into them. However, since entering dimensions was now a matter for generations of patients, he had to be fully prepared.

Under these circumstances, it must find enough allies and gather enough intelligence to understand the specific information within the dimensions before it can decide when and how to enter the dimensions to find Mephisto and destroy him.

Mephisto's existence is very mysterious, but Nolan Locke knows very well that Mephisto has appeared countless times in Earth's history, each time having a certain impact on history, and even some world wars are related to Mephisto's existence.

Some wars are started because of Mephisto's existence. After all, although Mephisto can influence the Earth to a certain extent, he cannot completely enter the Earth. However, he has a very disgusting pleasure: he likes to manipulate people's hearts and control human nature.

Under these circumstances, he orchestrated countless wars and used contracts to corrupt and degrade countless people—something he was very proud of. He never used his power to flaunt his authority on Earth, but instead stood behind the scenes, using his schemes and tricks to plunge the world into chaos. Therefore, Nolan Locke believed that as long as he could find this information about Mephisto on Earth...

Therefore, it's highly likely that we'll be able to find Mephisto's weakness. After all, Mephisto has left far too many traces on Earth; even if he wanted to completely eliminate them, it would be impossible.

Therefore, Nolan Locke immediately mobilized all his manpower to search for information about Mephisto everywhere, looking for all the information about Mephisto in history. As long as he could find this information about Mephisto, he would eventually be able to win this war.

As long as victory in this war is achieved, then everything else will be much easier. While Nolan Locke went out to talk, the others were also busy. Stephen Strange was still searching for information about the curse released by Mephistopheles.

However, the news from all sides was not very good, because this curse was an extremely rare and powerful one. Not only did it appear infrequently, but its effects were also extremely strong. As far as they knew, no one who had ever been cursed had ever survived.

Each time Stephen Strange received this news, his face turned extremely grim, because it meant that their hope of saving Nolan Locke had dwindled once again. If they used unconventional methods to save Nolan Locke, it would inevitably lead to a significant loss of Nolan Locke's own strength.

For him, these were things that were absolutely unacceptable, but now these things were beyond his control, so he could only hope for a miracle while waiting for Nolan Locke's decision.

If Nolan Locke truly intends to venture into the dimensional rift and take action against Mephisto, then as the Sorcerer Supreme, he will likely have to contribute to the matter. However, it won't be easy for him to do so, for a very simple reason.

Entering a dimensional rift is an extremely dangerous thing. If it is discovered that he has left Earth, it will be extremely dangerous for the entire Earth, and may very well lead to other dimensional lords attacking Earth at that time.

This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate, so he must make sufficient preparations to leave Earth and Granlock Financial. However, the specifics of how to proceed depend on Nolan Locke. As for himself, there is absolutely nothing to hesitate about.

After all, the current situation is too obvious; there is simply no way to break the curse.

As for Nolan Locke, he had indeed made final preparations. He had decided that since he could not find a way to break the organization elsewhere, he could only enter the dimensional rift. Although the dimensional rift was dangerous enough, as long as he found a powerful enough ally, it should not be too dangerous. The only thing to be careful about was not being discovered by other dimensional lords.

If it were just dealing with Mephisto alone, then this wouldn't be difficult at all. All he had to do was catch Mephisto off guard, and Mephisto wouldn't even have time to react before being killed. Only under such circumstances could they safely evacuate from the dimension; otherwise, they would inevitably face enormous trouble.

The first person he sought was Hela. Hela possessed immense power and was the woman he trusted most, so her participation was inevitable. However, besides the ocean, he also planned to visit Wanda. Wanda's chaotic magic was also extremely powerful; among the many superheroes on Earth, Wanda was undoubtedly among the strongest.

Moreover, Wanda's strength isn't just currently formidable; her potential is also immeasurably immense. If faced with any danger, Wanda might be able to unleash power beyond what is possible with ordinary strength, allowing them to escape peril.

These two were naturally the easiest helpers to find, and he was confident that neither of them would refuse his request. However, finding other helpers besides these two was not so simple. For example, he knew very well that Stephen Strange would never leave Earth easily.

Although he believed Stephen Strange was willing to help him resolve this key issue, he wasn't sure if Stephen Strange would actually do so. Under these circumstances, he could only consider what Stephen Strange would do next, and how Earth should be protected if Stephen Strange were to leave Earth.

Besides Stephen Strange, Nolan Locke also wanted to invite Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, with whom he had a very bad relationship.

Although there is indeed a lot of conflict between Carol and Nolan Locke, Nolan Locke also has a complicated and complicated relationship with Carol Danvers in another universe, which means that Nolan Locke does not actually have too much hatred for Carol Danvers in this world.

Nolan Locke simply had a certain impatience that made him dislike him. Under these circumstances, Carol Danvers, with his formidable strength, would definitely be a good helper in the dimensional war, since Carol Danvers possessed the energy of the Space Stone.

The Space Stone's energy is limitless; it exists throughout the entire universe without any restrictions. If its energy were unleashed, it could even defeat Bophastow single-handedly.

Perhaps Carol Danvers' strength is slightly inferior to that of Hena, but the difference is not significant. It's just that their power manifests in different ways. If possible, they might be able to use the combined effect of Carol Danvers' space gem energy and the magical portal to perform a simple transfer.

Of course, this is the ideal combat state, but he also knows that such a combat state is very difficult to achieve. So for now, he just wants to find these allies first, and then carry out the next step of the war. After he found Hela, Hela was not surprised at all by Nolan Locke's words. She had already prepared to enter the dimension, so she nodded and agreed to Nolan Locke's approach without any hesitation. The situation on Wanda's side was the same.

When Wanda heard that Nolan Locke planned to enter the dimensional rift to find Mephisto and find a solution to the curse, he agreed without hesitation. However, Pietro, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and said with some dissatisfaction:

“Mr. Locke, I believe I can also get involved in this matter. I am quite confident in my abilities, and I believe I can help you. Even in the dimensional rift, I don’t think I will be a burden.”

Nolan Locke nodded, then spoke:

"Of course I am very clear about your strength. The movement speed you possess is the most powerful in this world. Even in front of Mephisto, he would not be able to find your trace, or at least not intercept you. However, even so, it is very difficult to exert your abilities in the dimensional rift. Under such circumstances, you may not be able to exert even half of your power, so this is too dangerous for you."

If something like this happens again, I promise I'll find you first.

Hearing Nolan Locke's words, Pietro's face was filled with resentment. He never expected that he would be excluded from this battle with his power. However, although it was a bit unexpected, he also realized the reality. Indeed, for him, Earth was the place where he could most easily use his superpowers. He didn't understand the situation in the dimensional rift, and he didn't even know whether that place was a dark place or a series of existing planets.

Even if it has hormones, it cannot exert enough power in many environments.

Then Nolan Locke continued speaking to Pietro:

"Although you can't be involved in this matter, I hope you can help me protect the entire Earth. The crisis the Earth is facing right now is too serious. Without you, I'm very worried about what will happen to the Earth in the future."

Nolan Locke's face showed a hint of helplessness. He knew very well that although most of the troubles on Earth had been resolved, there were still many troubles to be dealt with. However, with the current strength of the Avengers, it would be difficult to maintain the entire Earth.

It's not something that can be done easily at all. Under these circumstances, they can only rely on a strong person like Pietro. However, Pietro's limitations are too great. Although Pietro's speed is extremely fast, due to this extremely strong limitation, he cannot exert enough power in many situations.

Against enemies with high attack and defense, he could still be effective. However, against beings like Thanos, who are fast, strong, and incredibly defensive, Pietroso's power would be extremely weak, even less than some ordinary mechanical cannons. But in such a situation, the entire Earth would likely face a great crisis. Therefore, Nolan Locke didn't look down on Pietroso's power.

If it were a different, more specific situation.

Even for Nolan Locke, dealing with the criticism was not an easy task. This is not an exaggeration. Although Dolan Locke's speed and strength are extremely powerful, Pietro's speed is just too fast. He even has a terrifying speed that can make the earth spin around once, which gives him extremely powerful destructive power and an extremely terrifying margin for error.

In many ways, even Wanda and Pitt are no match for him. At least in this respect, although Wanda is powerful, she doesn't have any good management skills. But with Pietro around, it's like having a battlefield medic who can save his teammates from the war in any situation.

Placing teammates in a safe place is really not important in the context of the war. However, it is too difficult to unleash Pietro's power in this rift, so Nolan Locke did not have this idea.

Pietro nodded to Nolan Locke, then spoke:

"Don't worry, I know how serious this is. I will protect my entire Earth. I will not allow any crisis to occur on Earth before you return. No matter what enemies there are, I will eliminate all those damned enemies and will never let them harm the entire Earth."

Hearing Pietro's assurance, Nolan Locke breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this was too demanding for the fish skin, but he had no other choice; Earth was, after all, their territory.

If something happens to Earth, then Nolan Locke's headquarters will also be destroyed. For Nolan Locke, this is an absolutely unacceptable thing, and only Piedrozan can prevent it from happening.

"In that case, I'll trouble you."

……

Chapter 381 Tony Stark Armor

Pietro nodded.

"I will protect the Earth with my life, and I will never allow any problems to occur to the Earth before I die."

He had made such preparations, and he had spoken his mind completely.

It was Nolan Locke back then; if it weren't for Nolan Locke, then he and Wanda would have been dead long ago.

Now it's time for him to show Mr. Moranlock through his actions that Mr. Nolanlock did not do anything wrong.

Nolan Locke didn't say anything more. There was no point in continuing now. Since he couldn't take Pietro away, saying anything more would only add to the sadness.

Just as he was about to leave Avengers Tower, Tony Stark suddenly burst in.

“Black Nolan Locke, I’ve heard some things. It seems you’re planning to go into a dimension to solve some problems, but I don’t think I’ve heard you come looking for me. Are you planning to leave me on Earth?”

Nolan Locke looked at Tony Stark as he approached, a hint of helplessness on his face, and then spoke to Tunesta:

"I'm sorry, but I really don't intend to take you away this time. There's nothing I can do. This matter has now exceeded my control. The situation in the dimensional space is extremely complex, and I don't know what kind of enemies might appear there. So I hope you can stay on Earth and protect it."

With your intelligence and the combined strength of others, protecting Earth should be no problem. Even if we encounter some danger, you can provide backup. In that case, I hope you will stay on Earth and not recklessly enter the dimensional rift with me.

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Tony Stark's face showed deep dissatisfaction.

"Lolock, I won't listen to you. Who do you think you are? I'm Tony Stark, the most talented super-poor guy on Earth. I'm Iron Man. How could I possibly listen to you just because of a word you say? So you'd better abandon all your ideas now. I'm definitely going to enter the dimensional rift for this battle. No matter what you want to do, you can't stop it from happening. So you'd better invite me to avoid any conflict between us."

Hearing Tony Stark's words, Nolan Locke's face also showed a helpless expression. He felt that letting Brother Todis stay was indeed a good choice.

After all, Tony Stark's strength is still somewhat lacking. Entering the peak of the dimension is definitely not something he can easily do. The danger of entering the dimensional rift is something Tony Stark would probably find difficult to handle. However, Tony Stark's current attitude leaves him somewhat helpless.

Looking at Nolan Locke's expression, Tony knew what Nolan Locke was thinking, but he was the strongest super genius on Earth.

Scottoni Stark wore a smug look on his face, then spoke to Granlock:

"It seems you have some doubts about the mystery of my genius. In that case, I'll show you what a true genius like Tony Stark is. Even you probably can't compare to me!"

Tony Stark's undisguised smugness surprised Nolan Locke. He hadn't expected Tony Stark to seem to have achieved something, though he wasn't sure what exactly. But since Tony Stark was so confident, he didn't mind seeing what Tony Stark had accomplished, since Tony Stark's ideas seemed to have surpassed his own.

Nolan Locke's current armor is nothing more than the Mjolnir armor, which is powerful and possesses extremely superior performance. Under these circumstances, Nolan Locke believes that Tony Stark will not be able to surpass him in this aspect for a very long time.

If we add the technology of his own third-generation super soldier, the gap between the two would be magnified to an enormous degree. Tony Stark would never compare his third-generation super soldier body to his own. But even so, if it could be compared to Thor's Hammer armor or even surpass Thor's Hammer, then it would be a remarkable advancement.

Tony Stark brought Nolan Locke directly to his experiment. During this time, Tony Stark had been researching a new war machine. He had long admired Nolan Locke's powerful research abilities, even to the point of having lost the will to compete with him. However, as time went on, his competitive spirit was reignited; he believed he was definitely not the weak one.

He believed that his strength could surpass Nolan Locke, so he challenged Locke once again. Based on his previous armor technology and some observations of Nolan Locke's Thor's Hammer armor, he had a new idea. He then directly processed this idea and began to create a new improved version of the Thor's Hammer armor, Tai Sui. The Thor's Hammer armor had some similarities, but this was definitely a super armor that he personally created.

Moreover, all the materials used in its construction are made of certified materials. Except in some special environments where it cannot exert much power, in most cases, the power it can exert is terrifying to an extreme degree. Nolan Locke followed Tony Stark into his laboratory and saw the armor in front of him. The armor in front of him was three meters tall, surpassing the armor he usually used. Obviously, this was a pure combat armor.

This armor was designed entirely for war, discarding all unnecessary routine patrol-like components.

Previously, Tony Stark's regular armor possessed various capabilities, such as the portable Mark armor, whose biggest advantage was its portability. It could be activated at any time and exert a certain combat capability. However, such armor would inevitably limit its most powerful aspect, which was its terrifying firepower.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to exert too much power. However, real battle armor made of different materials and combinations will also have different combat capabilities due to these different structures.

Take, for example, the Hulkbuster armor, a terrifying example. Combined with Tony Stark's research capabilities, the armor he created was enough to fight the Hulk in a short time, and even suppress him for a short period with various equipment. This is his research ability. Now, stimulated by Nolan Locke, he has developed an even more powerful armor. Without hesitation, Tony Stark entered the armor and said:

"I removed some functions from the previous suit of armor for various conveniences, but this suit of armor was created purely for war. I spent countless hours on this suit of armor, and at the same time, I used all my research and development efforts over the years. The entire Stark Industries' resources were dedicated to this suit of armor."

Under these circumstances, I spent a great deal of time creating him. He is the absolute king of vitality, and also the absolute king of war. No armor can compare to him. Even your Thor Zone armor is meaningless in front of him and cannot play any role at all.
