American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Chapter 164 The Mage Iron Man

"If I have to personally deal with even a petty thief, then what's the point of my men?"

Lynn said earnestly.

"Delegating your responsibilities reasonably does not mean you are slacking off."

"You should know that this is also a good opportunity for the mages under your command to grow."

"After all, how can they quickly grow to the point of being able to stand on their own without experiencing all sorts of battles?"

Strange nodded repeatedly.

Lynn was very satisfied to see that Strange seemed to understand his consciousness.

"So you must remember, no matter what happens, you must never take matters into your own hands."

"Because now you represent more than just yourself."

"You also represent all the mages on Earth!"

"The rich legacy that the Ancient One left you propels you forward while also putting pressure on you."

"You must demonstrate a more assertive attitude and greater strength than the Ancient One in order to keep those petty villains in check."

"So promise me, unless it's absolutely necessary or in a particularly urgent situation, never do it yourself."

"Just trust me, you won't go wrong. After all, I have far more experience than you in how to be the leader of a force."

Strange nodded emphatically.

After taking Lynn's advice, Strange decisively handed over the troublesome matters he was dealing with to his subordinates.

I don't know if it was because Casillas started to hide himself, or because doing so was indeed effective.

In short, even after Strange learned to delegate, various troubles continued to emerge in different places.

But the mages under his command handled all these troublesome matters perfectly.

Strange then realized that Lynn was absolutely right.

In fact, the accidents, large and small, that have occurred in various places may sound terrifying.

But the mages under his command were fully capable of handling it, so he didn't need to do it himself.

Although he had fewer tasks and Strange was much more relaxed, he remained tense and never let his guard down.

Because he knew that Casillas wouldn't attack Kamar-Taj without a reason.

Now that he has succeeded, he must be plotting something.

It's not a good thing that we haven't received any news about Casilla for so long.

This means that Casillas has grand ambitions and needs such a long time to prepare; who knows what he's up to?

In contrast, Lynn did not pay much attention to Strange's affairs.

After all, Casillas was just a minor character to Lynn.

No matter what he plans to do, even if he manages to bring Dormammu over, with the Time Stone in hand, Lynn believes that Strange will be able to easily send them back to where Lynn is now, with all his attention focused on Jessica.

Although there is still some time before the official election, those who want to run for president at this point in time...

They have already started building momentum for themselves.

Theoretically, with Stark Industries as its backer, Jessica's chances of running for office shouldn't be too high.

At least Lynn herself doesn't need to get involved in this matter anymore.

But for some reason, Lynn always felt uneasy.

It was as if something would happen if he didn't watch over it.

With his strength reaching Lynn's level, his intuition could, in a sense, be used as a prophecy.

Although the accuracy may not be particularly high, it is absolutely not something Lynn can afford to ignore.

Therefore, in order to ensure Jessica's campaign goes smoothly, Lynn will be meeting with Jessica frequently recently.

When Jessica officially began campaigning for her presidential election, she discovered that things were not as simple as they seemed.

First, her rallies turned into riots and disturbances.

Although security personnel intervened in time and no one died, several people were still injured.

This is a huge blow to Jessica's image.

Without a doubt, the person who did this must be Jessica's rival.

But when Little Chili sent people to investigate, they found nothing.

Everything happened so naturally, as if the riot was just a simple accident.

If that were all, Lynn wouldn't have any suspicions.

But when riots occur one after another, this is definitely not normal!

Lynn spent a lot of time on Jessica, which drew the ire of other members of the Illuminati.

Rather than referring to other members of the Illuminati, it specifically refers to the women connected with Lynn.

Especially Hella.

She was very unhappy with Lynn's behavior of abandoning her and revolving around another woman all day long.

In order to appease Hela, Lynn had no choice but to seek help from Stark.

Don't get me wrong, Lynn didn't want Stark to teach him how to pick up girls.

Instead, she wanted to ask Stark to create a weapon that could protect Jessica's life.

This weapon doesn't need to be too powerful; it just needs to ensure Jessica's survival in a crisis.

Once Lynn receives the signal, he will immediately come to Jessica's side and take her to a safe place.

In fact, Lynn had already placed a spell on Jessica to ensure her safety.

However, considering that Cassandra was also watching from the sidelines, Lynn still felt that doing so was not safe.

That's why they approached Stark.

Let's also check how Stark's research is going.

When Lynn arrived at Stark Tower, he found that Stark was not home.

I learned from Jarvis that Stark is currently conducting his research in a warehouse in the suburbs.

Lynn had no choice but to change his destination and head towards the warehouse where Stark was.

Upon arriving at the base, Lynn discovered that Stark was disheveled and his eyes were completely black.

"How long has it been since you last slept?"

Lynn looked at Stark with a somewhat exaggerated expression.

Stark is in very bad shape right now; it looks like he could die at any moment.

"Lynn, you'll never guess what I've discovered!"

"This is absolutely a groundbreaking and groundbreaking invention!"

Upon seeing Lynn's arrival, Stark excitedly pulled Lynn aside and chattered on and on.

"Stop. I'm not interested in what you call a groundbreaking invention right now."

Lynn said with a cold face.

"What you should be doing right now is not telling me about your great inventions, but taking a break."

"Look at the way you are now, I really suspect you're about to faint."

"How long has it been since you had a proper rest?"

Stark scratched his messy head.

"Three days, four days, five days? I'm not sure."

"Jarvis, when was the last time I took a break?"

"Sir, according to my system report, it has been 37 hours, 34 minutes and 54 seconds since your last rest."

"Last time you rested, you only rested for an hour!"

Lynn stopped Stark, who was about to say something, and said, "Go to sleep right now!"

Stark was cursing and preparing to fight back when Lynn gave him a look, and Stark felt a wave of dizziness.

He then leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, stretched out his legs, and fainted.

"Thank you, sir. If it weren't for your arrival, I really don't know how much longer he would have had to endure it."

Jarvis's electronic voice filled the room.

Lynn waved his hand.

"These are things I should do."

Stark slept for a full six hours.

For a normal person, this sleep would probably last for a whole day and night.

However, Stark fell asleep under the influence of Lynn's magic.

So even though he only slept for 6 hours, it was enough for Stark to recover his energy.

Six hours later, Stark rubbed his lower back and slowly stood up.

"My goodness, I slept like a log!"

Why does my whole body hurt so much? Did someone beat me up while I was sleeping?

Lynn cleared his throat but did not answer Stark's question.

He's not Pepper Potts, so naturally he wouldn't find a comfortable sleeping position for Stark.

I slept in that position for a full 6 hours, and the aches and pains all over my body were just the appetizer.

In fact, if it weren't for Lynn's magic, Stark, with his heightened spirit, probably wouldn't have been able to fall asleep at all. Heaven knows how many stimulants he took to maintain his energy.

"You have the nerve to say that? If I hadn't arrived in time, you'd probably be dead in this dilapidated warehouse, and nobody would even know!"

"this---"

Stark smiled faintly.

"But all I'm saying is, please don't ever use your damn magic on me again."

Stark smiled slightly.

"However, your magic may no longer work on me in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean? Did you manage to control the divine energy?"

Stark was smug.

"More or less."

"Remember Ultron? I drew a lot of inspiration from his Mind Stone."

"With my great wisdom and endless innovation, I finally managed to create this nano-armor."

As Stark spoke, he lightly tapped his chest.

In the blink of an eye, countless nanoparticles, like a tidal wave, covered Stark's entire body.

A classic yet muscular Mark armor appeared before Lynn.

The reactor on the chest of this nano-armor is no longer just the triangular arc reactor created by Stark.

The reactor was also surrounded by a pale blue energy halo.

Lynn recognized at a glance that the light blue energy, the energy of the halo, came from the bead that Lynn had given to Shitak.

Lynn leaned forward curiously and gently tapped Stark's chest.

"How did you do that? Did you merge these two energies into one?"

Stark looked at Lynn with a strange expression.

"I didn't expect you to have such a sharp eye."

"That's right, I disassembled the bead you gave me and perfectly fused it into my reactor."

"So my nanoarmor now possesses two types of energy simultaneously."

"Most importantly, I discovered that this divine energy also seems to have the ability to create matter."

"Creating matter? Creating something from nothing?"

Lynn frowned.

"The power of the gods is indeed strong enough, but I don't recall the power of the gods having such heaven-defying abilities."

"Strictly speaking, it is not about creating matter out of thin air."

Stark smiled and began to explain to Lynn.

Creating something from nothing is something only the power of creation can accomplish.

No matter how powerful the divine energy is, if the rank is not high enough, it is completely impossible to achieve this.

"I drew a lot of inspiration from the story of the god you told me."

Lynn thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

How did Ego gradually grow from an energy core into a planet?

The answer is simple: over the long course of time, Igor has been absorbing asteroids and meteorites floating in the universe.

He captured these substances and then transformed them into his own shell.

Stark's so-called creation of matter also utilizes this principle.

There are a large number of gas molecules in the air, and these molecules can be transformed into various kinds of substances through divine energy.

For example, Stark can easily convert carbon dioxide and moisture contained in the air into proteins.

Similarly, if various metallic elements exist in the surrounding environment, Stark can extract these metallic atoms and synthesize the substances he wants.

Relying on technology, Stark would absolutely not be able to do this easily.

However, with the existence of divine energy, which is similar to magical ability, it is not so difficult to achieve this.

Therefore, as long as the environment is suitable, Stark has no need to worry about the consumption of nanoparticles on his nanoarmor.

It can infinitely absorb all kinds of atoms from the surrounding environment to mass-produce nanoparticles for itself!

In addition, relying on this almost non-existent ability to create something from nothing, Stark can also use many methods in battle that are far beyond the enemy's expectations.

Stark, however, showed Lynn only the tip of the iceberg.

With a wave of his hand, countless spears made of solidified metal appeared around him.

With a flick of the finger, these spears shot out at lightning speed, piercing through several targets before still having considerable force remaining.

In addition, spells like Earth Spikes and Swamp Spells are also readily available to him.

Lynn's eyes lit up.

He quickly realized that Stark's current combat abilities stemmed entirely from the knowledge he possessed.

The deeper his understanding of this world and the more magical knowledge he possesses, the stronger his combat abilities will become.

Stark has now completely transformed into a mage.

However, unlike traditional mages, Stark also possesses an artificial intelligence as his assistant.

Artificial intelligence's thinking methods and speed are far superior to those of ordinary organisms.

With the help of artificial intelligence, Stark has almost limitless possibilities!

Often, he doesn't even need to do it himself; he is a spell model created by Jarvis, and he will automatically use the most appropriate magic for Stark at the right time.

"Not bad, is this what you've accomplished recently?"

Lynn looked at Stark's new armor with great interest, marveling at it.

"If that were all, it wouldn't have taken me so much time!"

Stark was somewhat proud, but after a moment he became somewhat disheartened.

Under Stark's guidance, Lynn finally saw what Stark had been busy with these past few days.

"You actually want to create a life?"

Lynn gasped.

What appeared before Lynn was the body of a human woman.

However, the components of this body are extremely complex.

At just one glance, Lynn could see basic biological elements, vibranium, and even some nanoparticles!

Deep within these specific locations, there seem to be traces of Infinity Stones and divine energy hidden!

Even though he had hardly read any magic books, Stark had mastered the most forbidden rituals in magic through his own research.

Create life!

If Stark had simply wanted to use artificial intelligence to create a body that could move freely, Lynn wouldn't have been so shocked.

Just like Ultron.

Without the Mind Stone, Ultron would ultimately be nothing more than an ordinary mechanical life form controlled by artificial intelligence.

Although he resembles a real life form in many ways, the most fundamental difference between him and a real life form is that Ultron has no soul.

However, after acquiring the Mind Stone, Ultron gained a true soul under its influence.

Only then can Ultron be considered a true life form.

The elements used in the life form that Stark has created are far too complex. Even Lynn cannot tell in a short time what Stark has injected into this body.

"You're absolutely insane!"

Lynn stared at Stark in disbelief.

"You said we need to strengthen the Earth's ability to withstand external risks."

"I was thinking, what could be more useful than a cyber life form that can span the entire global network?"

"So I used Friday as a template for wisdom, and with a little help from fan fiction, I finally created this mechanical life."

"You can call him Friday."

At this point, Stark seemed somewhat troubled.

"Even though I've done everything I could, I still feel like Friday is missing something that truly feels alive."

"Although he is now able to eat and drink like a normal human being, and has his own emotions and desires."

"But I can sense that these behaviors are merely the programs I've set up, not what a real life, a real soul, should possess."

Linn was silent.

He knew that Stark had immense potential, and that Stark would unleash unimaginable wisdom once he saw more of the world.

But Lynn didn't realize that he had pushed Stark too hard, perhaps too much.

If things continue like this, Stark might soon grow into a being akin to a creator god.
