Chapter: 128

Upon hearing Mark's analysis, everyone's attention focused on Banner.

Through the information previously provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., everyone except Thor knew the disastrous consequences of Banner's anger.

Moreover, they were currently thousands of meters in the air, so the Hulk didn't even need to defeat them one by one.

All he had to do was cause chaos aboard the Helicarrier, and this marvel of human aerospace engineering would immediately become their deathbed.

Feeling awkward as he became the center of attention, Dr. Banner changed the subject. "I don't think we should be solely focused on Loki. He's a madman, and we can't judge his psychology based on normal human behavior.

Besides, I've examined the flight system designed by Mark, and I can confidently say that there is no risk of falling unless the carrier is literally split in half.

We should think more about the mechanical aspects. Loki diverted our attention and sent Barton to steal iridium. Why would they steal iridium?"

"Iridium can be used as a stabilizer," Mark and Tony answered simultaneously.

However, upon seeing the threatening gaze from Tony, Mark shrugged his shoulders and decided to let his old man take the spotlight.

Tony nodded in satisfaction and continued, "It can prevent the portal from collapsing on itself like when Loki arrived previously. It also allows Loki to expand the portal as he pleases and keep it open for a long time.

Now, what they lack is the energy to activate the Tesseract—a certain form of high-density energy."

"High-density energy. It sounds like they have only one option on Earth unless they can find a second Tesseract—the Arc Reactor.

Congratulations, old man, the world's first self-sustaining clean energy building is about to become history."

Knowing the direction of the events, Mark decided to offer some help to the Avengers and revealed Loki's ultimate goal.

"Well, perhaps Dr. Selvig has come up with a method for stabilizing quantum tunneling. They don't need to heat the Tesseract to 120,000,000 Kelvin to surpass the Coulomb barrier...

Well, damn it! Stark Tower contains twelve percent of Pepper's hard work!" Tony said with a pained expression.

"Regardless, Tony, if you want to save your tower, the immediate priority is to help Dr. Banner find the Tesseract as soon as possible."

"Let's get to work, Dr. Banner. And you, Mark, come over here. That tower is a symbol of the Stark family in New York. We can't let it be destroyed like this."

"Sigh! You're just too proud. You know very well that I haven't delved deep into gamma radiation." Mark sighed in resignation, reluctantly following along and assisting the two bosses.

...

"The gamma readings and Dr. Selvig's report on the Tesseract are identical."

Inside the laboratory, Dr. Banner was examining the scepter confiscated from Loki, while Tony, with divided attention, assisted Banner and kept chatting with him.

Captain, who was conducting his patrol, happened to witness this scene. He had objections to Tony's casual attitude, and Tony was unhappy with Steve always acting like the leader of the group. The two of them started arguing.

But soon, the topic shifted to S.H.I.E.L.D. Both Tony and Banner suspected that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true purpose in studying the Tesseract was not just to achieve unlimited energy. In order to investigate the truth, Tony secretly hacked into the helicarrier's database.

Captain, who had a strict sense of discipline, naturally disapproved of Tony's arbitrary behavior and disobedience. He sarcastically remarked again.

"How's it going, Baymax?" Mark, who had been watching on the side, communicated with Baymax through the nanobots in his body.

Knowing well that the Mind Stone was embedded in Loki's scepter, Mark wouldn't miss this opportunity to collect data.

"Master, as you suspected, the scepter I was instructed to analyze has been continuously emitting mental waves, influencing the thoughts and ideas of the entire helicarrier's personnel...

I have transmitted the wave frequencies to the nanobots, and you can activate the shielding function to avoid being affected.

In addition, I detected fluctuations of magical energy. I believe the scepter emits mental waves through the use of runic spells."

"Can you scan the specific patterns?"

"I have saved the data to your private database."

"Well done, Baymax. By the way, has there been a detailed analysis of these mental wave frequencies?

Do they affect the region of the brain responsible for specific emotions in humans? Can they cause deeper levels of influence, even altering memories?"

"Master, based on the current data, only four types of wave frequencies have been identified, each capable of inducing anger, irritability, sadness, and depression in humans."

"Is there a way to determine which frequency is more likely to calm people down? We need to find a way to prevent Loki from executing his plan with the Hulk."

"I have already created a new task in the background for you. It is estimated to take 15 minutes and 6 seconds to complete the analysis simulation."

"After completion, send the results to me."

Ending his secret conversation with Baymax, Mark looked at the two older generations before him, arguing about the true purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research on the Tesseract. He couldn't help but feel that these old folks were unreliable, and he had to rely on himself.

"Well, if you want to know the truth, I can find it for you. But Dad, you should really upgrade J.A.R.V.I.S. properly. My Baymax managed to breach the defense system of the Helicarrier in just three minutes."

Upon hearing Mark speak up, all three of them looked at him, their expressions conveying the message—hurry up and show us!

Even Captain Steve, with his upright demeanor, leaned in. Mark rolled his eyes and had Baymax open the confidential file, displaying it on the monitor for them to see.
