Chapter 246 - Chapter 246: Return to Earth

Outside the solar system, Sebastian used the combined power of the Space Stone and his Gravitational Authority to bring the vibranium planet back. He placed it near a planet outside the solar system. It became that planet's fifth satellite moon.

As for the consequences of this action on that planet's ecosystem, it was not Sebastian's concern. He only needed to make sure that the vibranium planet was safe and secure.

After setting up a magical teleportation beacon on the planet, Sebastian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He disappeared from the planet in a puff of black smoke. With a loud bang, Sebastian traveled through space several times. He finally returned to the lunar orbit outside Earth.

Looking at the three defense satellites named Zeus and Poseidon and Hades operating in the lunar orbit, as well as the increasingly large and complete T-shaped fortress castle on the moon, Sebastian did not immediately look for Tony and Reed.

Instead he returned directly to Earth first. He checked on the still-sleeping Alisha to make sure his mother was alright. He nodded to Vision who was secretly protecting Alisha with his invisibility. Then Sebastian returned to Hogwarts. The unusual situation in the Space Tower had awakened everyone there.

Appearing directly inside the Space Tower, Sebastian waved his wand. A phantom projection of Sebastian instantly appeared above Hogwarts Castle.

"Everyone it is all clear now. Go back to your rooms and get some sleep. If you skip class tomorrow morning and your teacher deducts your house points, I will not help you get them back."

Sebastian's words brought laughter from some of the students and teachers. But they quickly returned to their rooms. As Sebastian had said, most people had classes tomorrow morning. They did not want to be too tired and distracted during class.

After reassuring the students and teachers, Sebastian returned to inspect the Space Tower carefully.

It was undeniable that teleporting an entire planet was a significant drain on the Space Stone's power. While this level of consumption would not pose a problem for the Stone itself, as the physical medium through which the Stone's power was channeled, the Space Tower endured significant strain.

Upon careful inspection, Sebastian found signs of damage and aging in numerous areas of the tower. While this damage did not affect daily use yet, maintenance was necessary. Otherwise once the Tower completely failed, repairs would be a massive and difficult undertaking.

Just as Sebastian was retrieving materials to repair the Tower, Wanda arrived. She was dressed in pajamas and wearing a cape over them.

At Hogwarts besides Sebastian, only Wanda and Kaecilius were authorized to enter the Space Tower. However Kaecilius would not be there at this late hour. So the person who had come was obviously Wanda.

Without turning around, Sebastian continued repairing the damaged area. He said directly to Wanda. "Wanda how have you been recently? Have there been any unexpected events while I was gone?"

Listening to Sebastian's words, Wanda squatted down beside Sebastian. Without putting her weight on him, she just leaned slightly on Sebastian's shoulder. She said softly. "There is no big problem here. I just missed you very much."

Sebastian's hand movements paused for a moment. He turned his head and kissed Wanda's forehead gently. Then he said to her. "I am sorry. I did go away for a little too long this time. Some unexpected accidents happened. They delayed me for some time."

"So how was your harvest from the trip?"

"The harvest... was very rich and abundant. The universe is simply a treasure trove of materials. What I found this time is probably only one ten-millionth of all the materials in the universe. Yet it is enough for our Hogwarts to use for decades."

Hearing this surprising news, Wanda was also amazed. She asked. "There are so many things out there?"

"That is right. But there are many things that require detailed identification and study. It will take some time to put them to immediate use. Of course with the help of the Hogwarts teachers and students, and with the support of Stark Industries, I think it should not be too much of a problem."

Wanda nodded in understanding. She said nothing more. Instead she remained quietly beside him. She was watching him repair the Space Tower with care.

It was not until the dawn of the next morning that Sebastian's repairs were officially completed. Wanda yawned tiredly. She left the Space Tower. She showered and changed clothes. She had breakfast. Then she prepared for her morning classes.

Sebastian had now handed most of his teaching lessons to Wanda and Kaecilius. This freed himself from regular teaching duties.

After the Space Tower was fully repaired, Sebastian wasted no time. He notified Tony and Reed and the rest of the Illuminati members. Then he headed straight to the T-shaped fortress which was the Illuminati's headquarters on the moon.

Shortly after Sebastian arrived at the fortress, Tony arrived looking scruffy and unshaven. He hugged Sebastian warmly before pouring himself a large glass of wine. After gulping it down quickly, he finally regained some energy.

Looking at Tony's exhausted expression, Sebastian immediately asked with concern. "Tony what have you been doing these past days? It looks like your body is almost reaching its limit. If I did not know better, I would have thought you just came back from the universe instead of me."

After hearing Sebastian's words, Tony rubbed his face with both hands. Then he said to Sebastian. "There is no way I can compare with you anymore. You are becoming less and less like a normal human. Even if you said you were an enhanced superhuman, some people would believe it given your current physical fitness. I am afraid even Steve Rogers would not be able to match you in terms of physical fitness alone right?

As for me, I have been researching the issue of nanotech armor recently. About three or four days ago, I finally had a major breakthrough. So I seized the opportunity to study it continuously for a while without sleeping. I finally got working results. In the future even if I need to wear the Hulkbuster armor again, it will not be so troublesome to deploy."

"Nanotechnology armor? I am a little curious about what it looks like."

"It is a pity you cannot use it for yourself. Otherwise I could make you a nice battle suit as an auxiliary tool. You could just extend it when you need it. You could carry it on your body like a small piece of jewelry when not in use. It does not take up much space at all."

Listening to Tony's explanation, Sebastian shook his head. He said with a smile. "I really cannot use it now. Recently my strength has made a breakthrough improvement. Maybe in a while, seeing me will be like seeing a god."

Glancing at Sebastian, Tony said with a playful smirk. "Gods do not wave around with a little wooden stick like you do."

Shaking his head and laughing, Sebastian looked at Tony and said. "You guy. Your sarcastic personality really has not changed at all... But it is better this way. It is better if there is no change. This way we can continue to drink and chat as usual old friends."

"Drink? Can you actually drink now?"

"Yes I can. Drinking is no longer a big problem for me now. Alcohol does not affect me anymore at all!"

Author's Note: Sebastian has returned with a moon-sized planet full of vibranium! And Tony has perfected his nanotech armor. What adventures await the Illuminati next?
