It was that huge—you didn’t assign anyone to keep watch on it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The captain fought it for a long time. According to his report, the monster wasn’t aggressive—it seemed like nothing more than a signal. He didn’t even see how it disappeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let your guard down,” Sheler said. “Their so-called Bat God’s power has descended. This monster might just be an appetizer. After all, if you’re planning an invasion, you don’t put your biggest weapon up front.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Hill said gravely. “Director Nick has also concluded it’s merely an offensive marker—and it’s fulfilled every role of a battle horn. Now that night has fallen, the vampires hiding throughout New York have begun moving. When darkness fully sets in, we’ll face a brutal battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson glanced at his watch and said to Stark, “How many of these UV generators can you produce within three hours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At most twenty,” JARVIS replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stark Industries’ production lines are operating at full capacity, with less than ten percent redundancy remaining—but due to speed limitations, no more than twenty units can be produced before nightfall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Completely insufficient,” Coulson said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does S.H.I.E.L.D. have no stockpiled weapons against vampires at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course we do,” Hill stepped forward, placing a hand on the machine. “But they’re all individual gear—UV flashlights, silver bullets, that sort of thing. Look at how many vampires are in New York now—I have no idea where they all came from…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So your problem is lack of area-denial firepower?” Sheler asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the core issue,” Coulson sat down in a chair, placed one hand on the desk, and pressed his forehead. “A well-trained agent, fully armed with all vampire-suppressing gear, can ignore physical and magical disparities and handle one to three vampires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the problem is, the number of agents is far too small compared to the number of vampires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Police can handle at most one vampire. Civilians? Forget it—even ten of them can’t defeat one. Once vampires launch organized group attacks, the numerical gap multiplies tenfold or more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have two distinct forms—human and bat. Each form excels at different tasks. Once they begin coordinated strategic offensives, human defenses won’t hold for more than an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about heavy firepower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hill also pressed her forehead. “Actually, that’s the biggest problem. You know, many moderate vampires have ties with high-ranking congress members. The moderates claim they had no knowledge of what happened, insist their vampires didn’t participate in this invasion, and strongly protest human use of indiscriminate heavy firepower against vampires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can understand some politicians’ decisions—if humans truly unleash missiles and other heavy weapons, we’ll push the moderate vampires into desperation. They’ll join the invasion themselves, triggering an all-out war between the two races.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many moderate vampires live among humans, holding important roles—some are even married to humans. If a full-scale war erupts, social stability will collapse. No one wants that outcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark, angry, said, “So we just take hits without fighting back? Why can’t they sort out their own internal issues? We just need one answer: do we fight or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bet the moderates told you they’re actively negotiating to ease tensions—but I can tell you plainly: most of them are waiting for the so-called Bat God to descend. Once vampires gain the upper hand, they’ll immediately switch sides, declaring they’re true believers of the Bat God, born to rule humanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ambition always swells with power. These so-called moderates are merely waiting for one side to gain absolute dominance—they’re fence-sitters. If humans gain advantage and the Bat God makes no move, they’ll claim to be ambassadors of racial harmony. But if the Bat God truly descends and brings humanity’s doom, they’ll immediately crawl at its feet, proclaiming themselves devout followers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson sighed, spreading his hands. “Everyone understands this—that’s our current dilemma.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’ve forgotten—you still have one card left. Don’t tell me Director Nick hasn’t traced that vanished network line in New York to its destination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson opened his mouth hesitantly. “You mean… diverting the threat eastward? But isn’t that too risky? We know almost nothing about that faction…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s your decision to make,” Sheler said, then turned to Stark. “Stop fixating on your mass-production device—can’t you think differently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark said, “Got another genius idea? Spill it—I loved that smoke bomb of yours last time…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ultimately, the problem is that your agents’ individual combat power is weak and their numbers are insufficient. Why not manufacture some agents to use?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two other agents exchanged strange glances, but Stark perked up. “You mean… unmanned mechs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Don’t you still have many mechs sitting in storage? Equip them with individual gear—UV flashlights, silver bullets—can’t you install those? Send them to fight the vampires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“JARVIS’s intelligence database lacks logic for fighting these monsters, but I can deploy a vanguard unit of mechs to collect combat data and begin optimization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can think even bigger. Stop fixating on humanoid mechs or yourself charging into battle. You don’t even need to design or produce them yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheler walked near the lab bench and said, “You could design an autonomous intelligent hive, then deploy multiple such hives across New York according to a set pattern.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each hive could automatically produce different types of mechanical constructs based on your logic—light reconnaissance drones, ground mechanical units, mobile UV lamps, biological-response units to disrupt vampire movement, and so on…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once these machines are deployed, each one records its enemy’s movement patterns and its own combat effectiveness, then transmits the data back to the hive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The hive can then reconfigure its production based on that information. All hives feed their data into JARVIS’s intelligence database, giving you the broadest, most precise, and clearest battlefield network possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you won’t need to wear that iron shell to eliminate monsters—you can sit in Stark Tower’s lab, controlling everything, becoming the true master of machinery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson and Hill stared, stunned, a chill running down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the concept wasn’t particularly advanced—it was just basic information warfare. But once applied to Stark’s high-end mechanical constructs, the entire scenario became wildly sci-fi, even unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine several massive hives scattered across New York, endlessly spewing out countless mechanical constructs, each with its own intelligence. After reaching the battlefield, they not only inflict effective damage but, upon defeat, transmit all collected data back to the hive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hives possess incredibly advanced computational systems, using data from failed units to eliminate their flaws and enhance their strengths in the next production cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could specialize different combat units and coordinate tactics. The steel tide unleashed by multiple hives would drown the entire city, annihilating all enemies—steel skeletons piercing fortifications, gears and bearings devouring everything—while Stark, seated in his lab, controlled it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—something felt off. Coulson shivered. “I think… vampires aren’t that strong. Maybe we should save this tactic for later…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Stark’s eyes gleamed. He paced in place, clenching his fists. “I’ve been considering lightweight combat systems. You know—my mechs cost too much. Once damaged, repairs take too long. I’ve always wanted a mech that’s cheap, easy to repair, and can be deployed in massive numbers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But such mechs have a flaw: lower cost means weaker processors, unable to handle complex commands. Their functions are reduced, less versatile—they can’t react quickly to diverse enemies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if I switch targets, I have to upgrade them entirely—adding new functions, which costs nearly as much time and money as building high-end mechs. It’s not cost-effective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. This hive idea is brilliant. Why should I fix each mech one by one? Why not build an intelligent production line that lets them produce and repair themselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And as you said—if they can collect data, analyze, optimize, and improve autonomously, wouldn’t that be far faster than me personally upgrading them after every battle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We could optimize directly on the battlefield, producing first-gen, second-gen, third-gen adaptive mechs tailored to exploit enemy weaknesses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And we don’t need to stick to humanoid forms. Humans are bipedal—unstable by nature. Even if mechs fly, they consume more energy. Why not give them more legs? Right… yes—the Spider-Man kid is a perfect example!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spider-Man sticks to walls. My mechs can too. I could even give them eight legs, and let them spin silk to climb skyscrapers effortlessly. As for defense…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me think—I could design a mechanical troop transport ship, granting them high mobility, even hover and flight capabilities…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the production line builds these transport ships, the mechs can fold and stow inside, then be deployed at maximum speed to the battlefield…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark grew more excited, envisioning numerous animal-inspired mech designs and countless concepts for hives and troop transports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Stark even imagined modifying Stark Tower itself—turning its summit into a foldable orbital hive that, upon alien invasion, could rapidly rise and deploy, instantly entering mass-production mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coulson and Hill stood side by side. Coulson patted his colleague’s shoulder, whispering shakily, “Call Nick right now! Vampires aren’t the main problem anymore—if S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t resolve this quickly, the tech devil Stark will rule Earth…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the High Heavens\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking? Twenty minutes ago, I recorded Stark’s speech and sent it to Nick…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what did he say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the congressmen even finished watching, they unanimously approved the human counteroffensive plan against vampires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“New York and surrounding cities are under immediate lockdown. All response units are on combat alert. We’re ordered to resolve this full-scale invasion within three days—no room for Stark to interfere.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1680,"2026-06-20T16:39:12.484Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","02ff738aa80c64371295d1be553c751f47517d8cadcfb48dfff064b57899ce48","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-126","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-124",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
