I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Banner nodded seriously after hearing this.

"At this stage, an excellent space battleship is a deadly weapon on any planet."

"While Asgards should rely more on their own strength to solve problems, the destructive power of technology is not insignificant."

"Your Asgard was invaded by the Dark Elves, and you suffered a crushing defeat right from the start."

"It's because the technology of Asgard is far inferior to that of the Dark Elves."

"Speaking of dark elves, do you still have those mysterious hand grenades like the dark elves in Asgard?"

"One of those mysterious grenades is worth 25 million, and there are only ten available."

Seeing that Thor seemed to think it was expensive, Tony started analyzing it seriously, and then he also got his eye on the kind of grenade used by the Dark Elves.

To be honest, he had been eyeing the Black Hole Grenade for a long time, but it was an Asgardian trophy.

He wouldn't openly ask Asgard for it without a proper reason.

But things are different now. Thor wants to buy his technology, but thinks it's too expensive, so he'll just offer a black hole grenade as payment.

The production cost of a single black hole grenade certainly couldn't be as high as 25 million; the high price is due to the technology it represents.

Tony thought it was worth it to spend 250 million to get a chance to do research.

"Those grenades are black hole grenades; we Asgard have indeed collected some..."

Thor wanted to say that the black hole grenade was a product of the Dark Elves' technology and sorcery, and that it was impossible to replicate.

"Okay, we'll get you ten when we get back."

"You've helped us Asgard upgrade ten spaceships; you can't go back on your word."

When Loki saw that his foolish brother was about to bring up the issue of the black hole grenade, he interrupted Thor and said with a smile.

"How could I possibly go back on my word?"

"After I finish dealing with things on Earth, you can pay me first, and then I'll have your Asgardian soldiers send you to the Void Island in a warship."

"I will let you know once I have completed the modifications."

Tony smiled with delight when he saw Loki agree so readily.

"..."

Thor wanted to tell Tony about the potential problems with the Black Hole Grenade, but Loki nudged him with his elbow, signaling him to be quiet, so he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Loki certainly knew how powerful the Black Hole Grenade was; anyone who had seen it would agree that it was formidable.

After Asgard finished dealing with some post-war matters, they immediately began their research.

However, the conclusion reached after various tests and studies is that...

To create a black hole grenade, technology is only a secondary auxiliary tool, serving as a compression container. The main production process requires specific witchcraft to enchant and compress the material in order to create a black hole grenade.

The black hole grenade can be described as a super high-tech weapon of mass destruction, but the Dark Elves are extinct, which means that the technology to make this unique weapon has been lost.

Tony wanted to use the black hole grenade for research, and one grenade was worth 25 million. Loki certainly didn't mind making this deal with Tony.

Even if Tony does manage to figure it out, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Asgard.

Because of their relationship with Tony, Asgard and the Cult of the Hollows were considered friends.

Even if the alliance doesn't lead to deeper cooperation, as long as it ensures that the Void God Cult won't attack the Nine Realms, that's fine.

As for where the Void Cult will use the Black Hole Grenade, what does that have to do with Loki? He's just assisting Thor and protecting Asgard and the Nine Realms.

Tony was extremely happy because the deal he had negotiated might allow him to acquire the technological advancements of the Dark Elves.

After chatting for a while...

Thor pulled Loki away.

Tony and Banner sat together, having discovered another piece of cutting-edge technology to research, and were also envisioning the future.

Thor pulled Loki into another room.

"Loki, Tony has been so good to us, it's not right for us to take advantage of him like this."

"You also know that black hole grenades cannot be replicated."

,

"Although Tony is very rich, you should also know that 250 million universe coins is not a small amount."

Thor whispered to Loki.

Tony thoroughly entertained them during their trip to Void Island.

Moreover, through Tony's reminders and suggestions, Thor became aware of his past laziness.

They hadn't received anything in return yet, and now they've already tricked Tony, which Thor can't live with his conscience.

"How can you say it's a scam?"

"It was Tony who suggested that one of them could be worth 25 million."

"Just because Asgard can't figure it out doesn't mean it can't be replicated. If they succeed, they'll be in luck."

"And Tony is very smart, unlike you who thinks and acts in a straightforward manner."

"A limited edition of ten, which is 250 million cosmic dollars, is the cost of failure that Tony has already set aside and can accept. Even if he doesn't succeed in developing it, he won't be too heartbroken."

"If they figure it out, Tony will make a fortune."

Seeing that Thor seemed to be having some lingering remorse, Loki explained the situation.

"He hasn't even done the research yet, and he's already predetermined failure?"

Thor listened to Loki's words and said thoughtfully.

"Nonsense, research and invention are never something you can just do because you want to."

"Predicting failure before doing anything can prevent people from experiencing such a huge psychological letdown."

“Tony is much younger than you and me, but his research experience is far beyond what you and I can match.”

Loki rolled his eyes at these words and said with a hint of helplessness.

※※※※※※※

Tony and Banner are also talking.

"Given Loki's personality, he wouldn't be willing to give away ten so easily."

"It seems that Asgard has not made any progress in their research, or has concluded that they cannot replicate it."

Banner looked at Tony and spoke.

"Of course I know. Given Loki's cunning nature, it's definitely not a good thing that he'd give it away so easily."

"Even if I can't replicate the black hole grenade, it would be enough if I could get some inspiration from it."

"The more knowledge and weapons I possess, the stronger my battle armor will become."

"And if it is actually successfully developed, then Earth will have a powerful weapon."

Upon hearing this, Tony swirled the wine in his glass and said with a smile.

"Judging from your expression just now, I thought you were certain you would succeed in the research and that you only needed to anticipate the failure."

Banner paused for a moment after hearing Tony's words, then laughed.

"I know I'm a genius, but even if I am a genius, it doesn't mean that I can research and develop any technology that comes into my hands."

"The key purpose of obtaining a sample of the black hole grenade is to study its manufacturing principle."

"As long as you understand the principle, even if you don't completely copy it, it's enough to make some similar grenades that aren't as terrifying."

"Compared to other civilizations in the universe, human civilization is still at its starting point."

"Although our horizons have broadened considerably, they are still not broad enough."

"So everything has to be done step by step."

Tony had an incredibly clear plan for his future.

The black hole grenade serves as a medium through which they can access new technologies.

Then he will seize the opportunity immediately, even if he may not get the result he wants afterward, as long as the experience of failure can broaden his horizons and knowledge.

Tony was never afraid of failure in his research. What he feared was a meaningless failure that did not allow him to improve.

The Black Hole Grenade is a product of the Dark Elves' wisdom. Although the Dark Elves were wiped out, they were no match for Asgard.

But there is no doubt that the Dark Elves' technology was far more advanced than that of Asgard.

For human civilization on Earth, and even for him, this technology was ahead of its time.

The ability to compress the terrifying suction of a black hole into a tiny hand grenade is simply unheard of.

Therefore, having the opportunity to conduct research is an incredibly valuable opportunity.

Chapter 328 The Dark Side of Humanity

Banner saw that Tony had something to say, so he didn't say anything more.

His personality is quite different from Tony's, but essentially they are both scientists who pursue technology.

With the opportunity to research black hole grenades right in front of him, he naturally wanted to seize it.

If it weren't for Asgard, it wouldn't be available for sale directly.

Banner even considered using his own savings to buy a few Black Hole Grenades from Asgard.

After the previous battle on Xandar, when Lord Kassadin rewarded Kyle, he also gave him a reward of 200 million.

So Banner's personal savings can't compare to Tony's, but he's not penniless anymore; he can still come up with 100 million cosmic coins.

"After I get back, I'll first investigate the situation with Hydra."

"You can go and have some fun when you get back."

Tony then looked at Banner and spoke.

"I'll be staying in New York. Just call me if you need any help."
