Antarctica is big

"Should I just end it all?..." I pondered over it with a hand on my chin. Tevyat is unnaturally strong. It would've been acceptable if only a few individuals were strong, but the number seems to keep increasing every year.

Veritas is unable to decipher the essence of the 'vision'. Our previous hypothesis of vison being a purer form of energy seemed right until we were caught by Venti. When I asked him about it, the answer I got was just as bizarre as the problem.

"Ambition huh…" The reason behind their strength. A very simple yet hard thing to achieve when there are giant Hypostasis around you capable of decimating an entire city within seconds. Monsters like Hilichurls swarming the forests and ruins.

"I spent the whole year getting to this point, but ended up as a chess piece…"

"KHHH…KHHH…..KHHHHHHH!"

"Shut up." The noises made by Harleen who was kneeling between my legs brought me out of my reverie. I pulled on her hair to choke her after tying it around her neck but that only served to make her more excited.

"How's the serum?" I asked after pulling my dick out of her throat. Her reluctance to part with it made me want to fuck her senseless right there, but I restrained myself.

"Although my body is colder, I can sense better. I can see more colors than I used to." Harleen commented about the weakened lizard serum I injected with little enthusiasm as she kept glancing at my bulge.

She licked her lips with her tongue, which was now longer than my forearm and clung to my leg while resting her head on my lap.

"I can regenerate my limbs within a few hours so feel free to have your way with me master..." She took a dark turn in a jovial tone while looking at my eyes.

"No. Go away." Unfortunately, I had no time to play with her.

"Should I move to Antarctica?"

[May I ask why, sir?]

"It would be easier to stay away from prying eyes. I can also build a factory and bring in larger equipments."

[Should I prepare for the…. migration?]

"Please do."

I answered before sighing and getting out of the elevator. What greeted me was messy room with occasional sparks. Wires were torn from the pipes and causing a power loss. The mechanical arms were torn to pieces. Oil leaked out of the containers and a green chemical was evaporating on the floor most likely creating a toxic hazard.

"I need to control this." The rage I felt after getting back made me lose control. I wanted to blame the goblin serum for this but me and veritas both knew that wasn't the case.

An entire year worth of work and research proven useless in front of an archon. The portal created after scanning the Tesseract was foreign in that universe. It was like using a cannon to pierce a hole through paper.

The efficiency was too low. It was like using a steam engine invented in 1712. It works, yes, but the energy wasted is working like a beacon in Tevyat. I tried to go around that problem but that entailed abandoning the principle of the Tesseract entirely.

[It is possible to achieve 99% if we could do this in an environment with close to absolute zero temperature.]

"…In a black hole?"

[Yes, or perhaps in an environment with infinite heat.]

"Both of them seem impossible. Even Xandar hasn't reached it."

[Sir, I do not think we need to look inside our universe. While Xandar technology can increase the efficiency to 32%, we can look for upgrades in another universe.]

A type three civilization can extract energy from supermassive black holes. But it can also detect us. I don't think they'd be keen on sharing technology with us.

[Sir…]

"I know it's frustrating, but you need to be objective. Do you really think you can go against the computers from such a world?"

[…I shall look for ways to improve myself.]

"Good choice buddy. I'll do the same."

[The suit, sir?]

"It'll be similar to what Tony stark is building in that cave, but better…. way better."

The billionaire was apparently kidnapped by the Ten Rings through orders given by Obadiah Stane. The arc miniature arc reactor he had built was incomplete, but commendable considering he built it in a cave.

Right now he was blasting through his enemies after an emotional talk with Ho Yinsen. I felt bad for them, but this wasn't my fight.

[Then why do you keep inquiring about them sir?]

"They're interesting. Share his location with the FBI after he gets out of that place." I gave my last orders before going to work.

The new project, inspired by the armor Tony made. I will make an exoskeleton using nanotechnology compressed into my clothes. The capabilities included Flight, repulsors, lasers now with a better range, sound cannons and plasma emitters on my hands.

The last bit was made by referencing from light sabers, except it didn't just turn into a sword but everything I wanted it to be.

Even cameras fitted into the helmet would be capable of zooming 150X with clear details.

The only downside was the power consumption, with all the equipments turned on, I will only have 8 hours of free reign, before it shut down. I was planning on stealing tech from Xandar but opted to do this in a more legal way.

…Which is scavenging broken spaceships around the planets, engaged in war. This was the reason I started the migration, since I needed a spaceship to start my scavenging. It'll be pain in the ass to hide a spaceship bigger than a building... inside a building.
