Chapter: 231

"Master Mark, thank you for bestowing me with magical energy, activating the magic array and runes within me. I can feel the constant flow of magic entering my power source, providing me with immense power!"

Engaging in conversation with Mark was the counterfeit Destroyer he had created. To allow it to freely move within the Sanctum, Mark also added a Pym Particle control device, enabling it to control its own size.

After infusing it with magic and awakening its consciousness, it gained the ability to autonomously control the various functional modules within its body, making dialogue possible.

However, it wasn't completely free to control everything on its own. Mark implemented several restrictions in the runes. Firstly, it couldn't defy Mark's commands, which was the highest priority setting ensuring Mark's absolute control, preventing a situation like Tony's creation, Ultron, turning against its creator.

Secondly, Mark designated the primary task of the counterfeit Destroyer, under the condition of not violating his orders, to guard the New York Sanctum and protect its magical core from enemy destruction.

As for the last point, to avoid alarming ordinary people in the physical world, Mark limited its activities to within the confines of the Sanctum unless specific circumstances required it to venture out. In such cases, it needed to enter the mirror dimension and remain hidden from regular individuals, unless commanded by Mark.

"Alright, it's a great success! Come, follow me. This is where you will carry out your future missions. Come and take a look."

Seeing that the counterfeit Destroyer could now move freely and had successfully activated all the functional modules within its body, Mark waved at it, indicating that it should follow him from the production room to the other end of the teleportation gate—the New York Sanctum.

"Now that you have successfully gained your own consciousness, I should give you a name. I can't simply call you the counterfeit Destroyer. You deserve a name that matches the cool design I made for you, and it should be no less impressive than the Destroyer. What should I call you..."

"Oh well, I guess I can't come up with a good name, given my poor talent for naming. I'm too lazy to think, so let's just copy! Yes, that will do. Your name shall be [Terminator]. It sounds great and exudes a commanding presence."

"As for the New York Sanctum, I entrust its guardianship to you from now on. Just like the name I gave you, put an end to any wicked individual who intends to destroy the magical core."

"Don't worry, Master Mark! I will faithfully execute this mission and live up to your expectations."

The self-consciousness of the Terminator was born from Mark's magical will. As a result, a part of its personality closely resembled Mark, in that once it set a goal, it would steadfastly pursue its completion.

"For now, I won't close off the teleportation gates between the lab and the New York Sanctum. In the coming months, I will closely observe your performance. If I deem that you are capable of fulfilling the responsibility I've entrusted you with, then you and Baymax will be solely responsible for safeguarding the New York Sanctum, except in the case of a major crisis that threatens its safety. However, if I believe you haven't met my expectations, then I will rebuild you, and your consciousness will be wiped and reinfused."

"So, I hope you can perform well and earn my absolute trust."

At the same time, while the Terminator began its long probation period, unknown stories were unfolding in the universe.

...

Since the Battle of New York, where Baymax carried a nuclear bomb through the space portal and destroyed the Chitauri fleet, more than two years had passed.

Due to the exceptional protective capabilities of the armor designed by Mark and the fact that Baymax was at a relatively safe distance from the explosion center, it didn't suffer any damage. The high-strength graphene fibers contained the gas inside, preventing it from bursting in the vacuum environment, and all other functions continued to operate smoothly.

During these two years of drifting in space, Baymax aimlessly relied on inertia, collecting detailed data about the surrounding cosmic space whenever possible. It had developed this habit while being by Mark's side. It hoped that if there was a chance to return to Mark someday, it could provide him with this data, which might contain something he needed.

However, perhaps due to unfortunate luck, Baymax hadn't encountered any particularly unique cosmic phenomena, rare materials, or other extraterrestrial civilizations and lifeforms.

To make matters worse, despite conserving its energy as much as possible, Baymax's energy was running out. It had to avoid constant debris attacks in space and maintain data collection on the environment. Since it wasn't equipped with solar cells during its design, the only way to replenish its energy was to find a nearby planet and create a battery using available materials and chemical agents stored within Baymax itself.

This plan seemed feasible, but executing it was far from simple. Generating sufficient current and voltage was a major problem, not to mention the uncertainty of finding suitable materials on the planet it was about to land on.

However, at that moment, the data collection system within Baymax sensed the presence of an energy entity on the closest planet, which contained immense energy. Moreover, the energy fluctuations were remarkably similar to a piece of data recorded in its database—"That is...!"
