Chapter: 230

The enemies have all been defeated, and the next step is political maneuvering. This is not Mark's area of expertise, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

However, he knows that with Fury's cunning methods and his own father's assistance, this matter will definitely come to a successful conclusion. Even if Hydra is not completely eradicated this time, they will undoubtedly suffer a severe blow.

Turning off the surveillance footage from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, Mark reopened the Mirror Dimension and examined the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, within it.

Seemingly calm after the recent period of composure, the Winter Soldier knew he couldn't escape at the moment. He no longer appeared as deranged and instead stood silently.

Although the Winter Soldier seemed calm at the moment, Mark didn't doubt his intentions for a second. If he were to enter the Mirror Dimension, the Winter Soldier would undoubtedly strike at him with lightning speed. His current calmness was only to preserve energy and gather strength.

However, regardless of the Winter Soldier's calculations, power was the ultimate factor. For Mark, even if the Winter Soldier exerted all his strength, he couldn't match Mark. The problem Mark currently faced was how to deal with him.

"Well, regardless, I need to help him regain his memories, eliminate the brainwashing effects inflicted by Hydra. Otherwise, with his current state, I can't let my father and Captain see him."

Thinking this way, Mark completely disregarded the Winter Soldier's calculations. He opened the portal, retrieved an old-style virtual reality helmet from the storage room in the lab, and directly entered the Mirror Dimension.

Bang! As expected, the moment Mark arrived in front of the Winter Soldier, he launched a swift side kick directly at Mark's head.

Without any preparation, Mark, who had undergone numerous physical enhancements, surpassed the Winter Soldier in reaction speed and physical strength. With a casual lift of his left hand, Mark easily blocked the Winter Soldier's powerful and heavy leg.

Then, Mark took advantage of the situation, grabbing the Winter Soldier's ankle, disrupting his balance. After he fell to the ground, Mark swiftly moved closer, restraining the Winter Soldier's arm and pressing his knee firmly against his back.

Mark's strength surpassed the Winter Soldier by an immeasurable amount. Once he had completed the restraint, no matter how the Winter Soldier struggled, he couldn't escape Mark's control. Mark then placed the virtual reality helmet on the Winter Soldier's head and maximized its power output.

Under the influence of the neural interface device on the helmet, the Winter Soldier had no resistance power. His consciousness was directly taken over by the virtual reality server, losing control of his body.

Seeing the Winter Soldier's lack of response, Mark stood up from him and released him from the captivity of the Mirror Dimension.

"Baymax, Use the quantum field generator to scan his brain and develop a plan to restore his memories by eliminating the brainwashing influence through the neural interface device.

The prototype body I requested in the production room should be nearly completed. I'll leave him in the lab for you to complete the treatment. I'm going to open the portal to the production room underground."

"No problem, Master. I guarantee the completion of the task!"

Mark nodded in satisfaction and then connected the space between the Temple and the lab's production room.

The product he was preparing to create was not for anything else but to protect the New York Sanctum in his absence, ensuring it wouldn't be destroyed by invaders.

To achieve this, besides basic physical attack and defense capabilities, it also needed powerful magical attack and defense abilities.

To accomplish this, he relied on the manufacturing technology of artifacts. By using this technology, not only could precious Uru metal be conserved, but Mark could also infuse the spiritual will of his own into this protective object through magic, granting it higher intelligence.

After consolidating all of this, the final product obtained was the counterfeit Destroyer that Mark replicated based on Asgard's Destroyer.

The counterfeit Destroyer created by Mark combined the cutting-edge technologies in earthly scientific fields such as mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, artificial intelligence, as well as the achievements in magical fields like Kamar-Taj mystic arts, runic magic, dark runes, and all other magical endeavors. It was the ultimate creation.

By combining two different technological means, the counterfeit Destroyer created by Mark was not an inferior imitation, but rather surpassed the original Asgardian Destroyer in almost every aspect.

In terms of maneuverability, Mark installed a superconductive magnetic levitation anti-gravity engine in its body and added a set of thrusters on the back, enabling the counterfeit Destroyer to possess all-around combat capabilities on land, sea, and air.

In terms of attack methods, in addition to retaining the facial feature that emitted high-temperature beams like the original version, Mark designed multiple sets of floating cannon modules as auxiliary means for multi-point attacks.

Unlike before, these floating cannons no longer utilized the capabilities of the Arc reactor but instead drew their power from absorbing magic to function.

The emitted attacks transformed from plasma beams to magical energy cannons, and the energy shields transformed into magical shields, adapting to the special task of guarding the Sanctum.

The most significant change was in the use of materials. Because Uru metal had much lower tolerance for magical attacks compared to physical ones, although Mark had a sufficient amount of Uru metal at his disposal, he didn't use it as the primary material.

This time, Mark used the matrix metal and carbon composite material he had developed. The carbon composite material, enhanced by [strengthening] runic magic, provided perfect resistance against various physical damage.

As for the matrix metal, it was a brand-new material created by Mark through magical manipulation to defend against magical attacks.

Mark first selected the best-performing materials in various metal formulations as the foundation, then through quark-level precision manipulation, he formed a magical defense matrix with the metal atoms, and through countless atomic matrix connections, constructed an entirely new metal with unparalleled magical defense capabilities.

Now, in the production room, the entire original body of the counterfeit Destroyer has been manufactured and all assembly work has been completed.

Only one final step remained for this entity that could be called the strongest protector of the Sanctum—to have Mark infuse his refined magic into it, allowing this giant artifact to awaken its own consciousness.
