"Challenge me? He actually wants to challenge me."
Returning to Earth through the portal, Bai Ye stood on the chaotic street and let out an incredulous laugh. Setting a three-year duel appointment like that was… honestly pretty interesting.
Maybe… for Odin's sake, I should skip resting for an entire month, really train hard for thirty days? Boost my physical stats another thousandfold before the duel.
Bai Ye seriously considered it. It was his first formal duel challenge—and from a god like Odin—so he couldn't help being a bit earnest.
Even though the universe he was in leaned more toward the movie version, meaning Odin definitely wasn't on the comic-level of boxing with the Celestials…
Even a lion uses full strength to hunt a rabbit. Better to treat it seriously.
"That thing just now was the Bifrost?" Stark asked.
He was currently wearing the crude prototype Iron Man armor he'd just finished building and flown in with.
Because he'd recently become Planetary Executive, he hadn't had time to upgrade or improve his suits.
"Mm. If that bridge fires at full power, it can even blow up the entire Earth," Bai Ye answered, making Stark's heart skip a beat.
But with that kind of straight-line attack, all Bai Ye needed to do was redirect a portal. The Bifrost would nuke itself—nothing to worry about.
"I've realized a very serious problem," Stark said solemnly as he looked at Bai Ye. "Earth currently has no ability to defend itself. Without you, we're done."
"And then?" Bai Ye spread his hands. "You have me. I am Emperor—any enemy that comes, I defeat."
"But you can't show up every time. Like just now." Stark grew more serious. "And if everyone always relies on you, won't you be driven insane?"
There was also one thing Stark didn't say out loud: he didn't think Bai Ye could solve every problem.
Thanks to the chat group and what he'd heard from Kunishima Kana—someone from a modern world—he'd learned that his universe's events were not too different from those depicted in Marvel comics.
Thinking of all those comic events involving single-universe, multiverse, infinite-multiverse threats—events that casually destroyed universes—Stark felt that even Bai Ye might not be able to maintain control. Surviving would already be difficult.
Look at Asgard just now: even one careless Bifrost blast could destroy the Earth. If Bai Ye wasn't in Marvel at that moment and they launched a sneak attack… Earth would be gone.
So his desire for Earth to have independent defense ability became even stronger.
"You actually have a point." Bai Ye nodded in agreement. If people bothered him about everything, he really would go insane.
"How about this: I remember there's a guy hiding in Brazil named Bruce Banner."
"He's a decent tool—at least in this universe he's not bad. He can probably arm-wrestle that Thor from earlier."
"And the mutants should be strengthened too. In Africa there's a hidden high-tech nation called Wakanda. Yes, the same Wakanda you remember. Their tech is pretty good, and they've got tons of Vibranium."
"Magneto can control magnetism, right? Even if he can't do micro-level atomic precision yet, pulling ten thousand tons of Vibranium to smash someone shouldn't be a problem."
"If you specially craft Vibranium into layered, interlocking mortise-and-tenon structures, even Thanos would get hard-CC'd for days once he's locked inside a Vibranium cage."
"And I recall a guy named Jonathan Pym—your dad's mortal enemy. The one who invented Pym Particles that can scale things up or down in equal proportion."
"Enlarging increases strength; shrinking keeps strength unchanged. Physics no longer exists."
"Give Pym Particles to mutants, Hulk, whatever—go find him."
"Make Bruce Banner's Hulk enlarge using Pym Particles. If his original strength is tens of thousands of tons, multiplying that by millions of times… feels like one punch could destroy New York."
"Oh right, and SHIELD was working on the Sentry Program before they ran off. You can have your people pick that up."
"A 100-ton Sentry enlarged a million times becomes 100 million tons of strength. Good lord—even I would need to train seriously for twenty days just to catch up."
…
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye started speaking nonstop, leaving Stark utterly stunned.
Thanks to the universe they lived in—with its enormous worldview—Marvel was famous across the multiverse.
And unlike cultivation novels that required endless training, Marvel's power-ups came easy—mutations or tech advancements could produce absurd growth.
So those already impressive abilities or items, when combined, could achieve the effect of stepping on your own foot to ascend into the heavens—1 + 1 > 1,000,000.
With a little creativity, you'd realize these combinations were absolutely heaven-defying—practically breaking the rules.
Watching Bai Ye talk on and on, Stark was dumbfounded. He'd never imagined these things could be mixed and matched like this.
He'd heard of many of the things Bai Ye listed, more or less, but he'd simply never thought about using them that way.
Like martial artists hoarding techniques and never considering passing inner force to a chosen few—limited imagination limits strength.
"Jarvis! Record everything Bai Ye is saying. Don't miss a single word!" Stark shouted anxiously.
He was terrified that missing even one sentence might cripple humanity's future power growth.
Jarvis replied calmly, "Sir, please rest assured—I am already recording."
"For now, with your current abilities, you can acquire all of that. I won't say more. Go handle it yourself," Bai Ye said with a wave.
"But be careful with artificial intelligence. Don't mess around and accidentally create a rebellion—that'd be too ridiculous."
"With what I just mentioned, if anything spirals out of control, casualties will be counted in national population units at minimum."
Stark nodded seriously. He knew the weight behind Bai Ye's words.
He had originally just wanted to complain and urge Bai Ye to be more careful—but Bai Ye had ended up giving him a massive surprise.
"One more thing—when you get the Pym Particles, remember to give me a portion," Bai Ye added.
Even though he could barely stand firm using Dimensional Demon God energy in the Marvel Universe, once he left Marvel, he'd be knocked back to Level Four.
So some preparation was definitely necessary. Pym Particles were perfect—multiplying strength by a million times might just push him to Level Six… maybe?
