Chapter: 177

Mark opened the only carry-on suitcase he brought with him to Asgard this time. Inside the suitcase was a small black metal robot doll, Mark's favorite tool - Magneto.

As soon as the suitcase was opened, Magneto jumped out of it. It seemed that it had been pent up inside for too long. It first circled the entire room several times before leaping onto Mark's shoulder, awaiting his master's commands.

Mark gently tapped Magneto's head with his finger, as if reprimanding it for its mischievous behavior. Then he raised an eyebrow towards the suitcase, and Magneto immediately understood his thoughts. It leaped down from his shoulder, and its limbs, which were connected by a servo system through a magnetic axis, fell off one by one. It then replaced them with accessory modules equipped with holographic scanning lenses.

With the transformation of Magneto complete, it approached Jane and began scanning her body.

Although there was a more advanced quantum field generator nearby, on one hand, Mark had no idea how to use that thing. On the other hand, the medical officers from Asgard showed no intention of helping him, so Mark ignored them and resorted to his own methods to overcome difficulties.

Although he was not as technologically advanced as the other side, regardless of whether it was a big cat or a small cat, the one that catches the mouse is a good cat. Moreover, after Magneto completed the scan, no matter how advanced the technology was, Mark would bring it back to Earth for thorough research.

Soon, the data obtained by Magneto's scan was transmitted to the nanobots through a telepathic wave device and then relayed to Mark's visual nerves, displaying the information in front of him.

According to the data, Mark analyzed that the reason why the Aether were able to counterattack anyone with malicious intent who approached was because it constantly emitted energy pulses.

This energy pulse was a kind of information flow that sent its own information to this pulse creator - the Dark Elf Malekith.

At the same time, this energy pulse also served as a detection method. It could capture objects with energy fluctuations exceeding a certain range. When it determined a threat, it would instantly unleash the immense energy contained in the Reality Stone, driving the opponent away.

In this way, it was almost impossible to separate the two without alarming the Aether or protecting Jane from harm.

Moreover, among the six Infinity Stones, the Reality Stone was the only one that existed in a liquid state under normal circumstances. The Aether, which were at its core, completely inherited this characteristic. Therefore, Mark's idea of capturing it using his nanobots with minimal energy fluctuations within his body was also unachievable.

"If it's in liquid form, it's really troublesome. It's almost impossible to physically extract the Aether..." Mark murmured while stroking the stubble on his chin, his brow furrowed in thought.

"My father said that there are some substances in our universe that existed before the formation of the universe. They are called - the Infinity Stones. The Aether are the only ones among them that appear in a liquid state and constantly change." Hearing Mark's self-talk, Thor repeated what Odin had told him to Mark.

"Wait!" Mark suddenly seemed to have remembered something. He widened his eyes and looked up at Thor, lifting his head abruptly. "How could I forget about this method?"

Seeing Mark's joyful expression, Thor quickly placed both hands on his shoulders and eagerly asked, "What method?! Mark, have you figured out how to separate the Aether from Jane?"

"Well...," Mark nodded in response to Thor.

"When I was looking at the collected data of the Aether just now, I kept feeling familiar with the energy fluctuations it emitted, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. After what you just said, it reminded me that its energy fluctuations are exactly the same as Loki's scepter, and the Tesseract. In other words, the Aether, the gem on Loki's scepter, and the Tesseract are all Infinity Stones."

"That's right, I can confirm that. My father also told me the same. But how does this relate to helping separate the Aether from Jane's body?" Thor still couldn't understand and asked with confusion.

"Do you remember how I passed through the energy barrier formed by the Tesseract on the rooftop of Stark Tower and closed the portal?" Mark asked.

"Of course, it was through Loki's...," Thor paused halfway and stared at Mark with wide eyes.

"Are you saying... through the Tesseract, another Infinity Stone, there might be a way to safely separate the two?"

"That's right, the energy fluctuations among the Infinity Stones are the same, and they seem to possess a kind of mutual attraction. So, we can use the power of another Infinity Stone as bait to lure the Aether out of Jane's body safely. One important prerequisite for this plan has already been fulfilled—the Tesseract is currently in Asgard.

There's also another crucial point—I need to determine the optimal energy wavelength that can generate a strong enough attraction to the Aether. However, before that, you need to convince your father to lend me the Tesseract."
