Chapter 290: Armor Concept

"The identities of the object of last night's clash between Mr. Bullock and Miss Maximov have been confirmed."

Shirley showed the two photos on a floating screen in front of Michael. In the photo on the left, the girl with green hair and a snow-white complexion is pictured wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, and strappy black leather boots. In the photo on the right, there is a muscular strong man with a resolute expression and a bulging body, which belongs to the type that is very difficult to mess with at first glance.

"Lorna Dane, mutant, has the ability to control magnetism. The exact upper limit is unknown, but based on yesterday's battle with Miss Maximov, its maximum output strength should not be comparable to that of the Scarlet Witch. John Prodestar, the ability is super strength, super stamina, invulnerable skin, and special perception. Both of them are included in the list of Heavenly Sword's special abilities, and they are the leaders of a small mutant underground organization. According to Agent Skysword's observations, the two should have been looking for more mutants to join their group. ”

As Shirley explains, Michael gradually recalls the subject, especially about Lorna Dane, a mutant codenamed Polaris. Both of them seem to be important characters in the American drama "Gifted", although Michael has not actually watched this American drama, but he has also learned about it through related posts on the Internet forum. Polaris' true identity is the daughter of a powerful mutant "Magneto" who has long since disappeared, and she has inherited her father's superpower to control magnetism, and has great potential. Her current performance is clearly far from her limit, and as time goes on, she may be able to reverse the magnetic poles of planets with her bare hands, just like her father.

Finally, there is the female mutant who appeared for a split second before Lorna left the scene, using the superpower of spatial movement to abruptly transfer her away.

"Clarice Ferguson, has the ability to cut through space and teleport. According to information provided by the Skysword agents of the Mexican branch, she is believed to have joined Lorna Dane's mutant group as well. ”

Codenamed "Flicker", Clarice is not currently powerful, but she is also a mutant with a lot of potential. If her abilities are further developed in the future, her variant abilities will be a nightmare for enemies, whether used as an attack or defense.

"The location of the underground organization has also been confirmed. They were hiding carefully, and the Sentinel Secret Service had yet to discover their headquarters, but the address had been under the watchful eye of the Heavenly Sword. Shirley asked, "Would you like to do it yourself?" ”

"No, I don't. Just keep an eye on them and stay where they are. Michael said.

With Skysword's intelligence network invulnerable, and now that Ultron is on global surveillance, it's certainly impossible for Michael not to know about mutants in this world. If he wanted to do it, this little group of Lorna would have been done long ago. The reason why he let it go is because what this group of mutants have done so far is just huddle together to keep warm, and no one has the idea that "labor and management will destroy mankind and dominate the world". Moreover, with the disappearance of the X-Men and the Brotherhood, the era of mutants as a hot topic has long passed, and the remaining mutants are no longer a real threat worth noting. Only if they decide to declare all-out war one day in the future, they will be greeted by a devastating blow from the Heavenly Sword.

But for now, Michael doesn't have the need or energy to care about mutants.

A mysterious man from nowhere is lurking in a corner of the world. He took the Destroyer's mech with him, and possibly the dead Ultron program hidden inside the mech. His strength is completely unknown, and his motives and intentions are unclear. But there's a good chance that this guy won't be a friend.

This forced Michael to speed things up. After further discussions with Doctor Strange about the application of the Infinity Primordial, Michael's set of armor driven by the Realistic Primogem finally had a rough design idea. After a full week of sleepless work, he finally completed the general design schematic of the armor and began to prepare for the computer simulation test stage.

The entire structure of this armor is specially designed to adapt to the energy of the real rough stone, and its structural principle is completely in accordance with the operation mode of the original stone. The armor was developed using recently perfected nanotechnology, and the material is still made of vibranium shell. Although the materials alone may not be comparable to the current Divine Domain armor, the Realistic Primordial Stone, which is an energy core, can fully make up for this shortcoming.

The armor should be expected to be at least 60 to 70 percent of the power of the Primogem, and combined with the spells that Michael and Strange have worked on, it should also be able to use the Primogem's unique reality-modifying horror abilities. But on the other hand, without the primogem drive, all the functions of this armor will be completely paralyzed, and there will be no other energy source to replace it.

In a sense, this armor and the Infinity Gauntlet are something similar - a device developed specifically to harness the power of the Infinity Primordial.

Michael has been studying with Doctor Strange for so long, and he has indeed successfully used spells to bring out the special abilities of the Reality Primordial. The power was incredible, using the rough stones to turn apples into bubbles and tables into marshmallows. The nature of the Reality Primordial is even more incredible than that of the Temporal Primordial in Stranger's hand, and it seems to be able to convert any two physically unrelated things into one another.

But this power also has its limits. I don't know if it's because the spells they developed are not yet perfect or because the reality of the original stone under this worldview is like this, and the reality modified by using the power of the original stone is only temporary and cannot be maintained for a long time. The apples they turned into bubbles returned to their original form after a few minutes, as did the table that turned into marshmallows. And they can't use this special ability to directly damage or obliterate living creatures. For example, the Primogem can restrain an enemy, or even deform the opponent's body (as Thanos did to Mantis Girl in Avengers 3), but even then the opponent will not be killed directly. The only way to directly damage an enemy is to use a physical attack by extracting the energy contained in the primordial stone.

"The model is ready, sir." Shirley said, "Would you like to test it now?" ”

"Let's get started."

"Okay." Realistic Armor's first simulation test begins, and rough stone data is being imported. Shirley said, pausing, "It is estimated that the first round of simulations will take about six hours to complete. With less than an hour left before your dinner appointment with Miss Maximov, you may be ready to go. ”

Michael raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"You promised to spend more time going out with her." Shirley chuckled, "Speaking of which, why did you say yes at the time?" ”

Michael leaned back in his chair and looked away intently.

“...... I do not know. ”
