Chapter 565

Stark, who had once become the Iron Demon God, understood that the radiance on the little girl's hands could be called magic, or it could be called divine power, or in fact, its essence was the source energy of the universe.

What the mages of Kamar-Taj called magic was actually the power of the cosmic demon gods, and the power of the cosmic demon gods was actually the cosmic source energy they could utilize.

And the divine power possessed by the gods of Asgard was actually another way of utilizing cosmic source energy. The reason this race was superior was that they were born capable of utilizing the most primal energy of the universe.

The energy sources that humans could use were actually just the most superficial manifestation of cosmic source energy, and humans also had to rely on tools.

Whether one could utilize cosmic source energy didn't actually depend on the physical body; the physical body only determined how much energy could be stored. Just like the Ancient One when she was "licking the bag," the stronger her physical body, the more energy she could store.

The key to utilizing cosmic source energy actually lay in the soul. One must possess a soul with special properties to be able to touch the most primal energy.

And the soul born from the rebirth power of the universe's first bolt of thunder was just like every member of the Aesir race; she was born capable of touching the source energy, or rather, she was actually a descendant of the god race.

Although she looked very much like Loki, that might be because the first thing she saw when she hatched was Loki in mid-air. And if viewed from the principle, she should be an Aesir, because what reignited her soul flame was actually Thor's divine power, and Thor was a pure Aesir.

After listening to Shiler's explanation, Stark widened his eyes, looked at the little girl, and said, "So, she is still an Aesir, and at the same time can use the Arc Reactor?"

Before Shiler could answer, Stark rattled off like a machine gun, "That is to say, she is born with divine power, but at the same time can use the energy of the Arc Reactor. How are these two types of power compatible? What methods does she use to utilize these two types of energy respectively?"

"Can divine power feed back into the Arc Reactor? Or is it that the energy produced by the Arc Reactor has actually touched the level of divine power?"

"Are these energies from the same source? Or is there a suppression in levels due to the difference in status?"

Stark's soul of research burned fiercely, and his eyes were glowing as he looked at the little girl.

Suddenly, he walked over, picked up the little girl, straightened his arms, and then lifted her high.

The little girl was backlit, while Stark was facing the sunlight. The light rays wove between the two, and Shiler watched this scene, which was like "The Lion King," quietly from the side.

"Possessing human technological power and the physique and divine power of the Aesir, while also possessing my intelligence, she will be the most brilliant light of humanity!"

"I will call her Helen... Helen Stark!"

When Stark said this, a kind of radiance was also flashing in his eyes. His brown eyes were like the coastline at dusk. Shiler knew that in both Latin and Greek, Helen meant torch and light.

"So, you've decided to adopt her?" Shiler asked again.

This time, Stark's attitude was different from before. He placed Helen on the tabletop, but his hands didn't pull back; instead, he kept supporting her.

He pursed his lips, seemingly thinking about something, and said, "Education is very important for a child. If the other choice wasn't Asgard, then I might be more willing to hand the child over to the other party."

"But if the only other choice is Asgard, then I'd better do it myself." Stark turned his head, sighed, and said, "If her talent is so powerful, yet she doesn't receive a good education, or rather, if that kind of education in Asgard teaches her to be a lunatic who only knows war and destruction, then in the end, it's still Earth that will suffer."

Stark turned his head back, lowered his head to meet Helen's eyes, and said, "I've never been a father, but at least I know one most basic principle: one shouldn't be biased when treating children. And this principle, the whole of Asgard doesn't understand."

"They might not be ignorant of it, just indifferent." Shiler reached out and touched Helen's hair, saying, "Asgard falling into today's predicament has a lot to do with their education."

"And..." Stark hesitated and said, "Ragnarok is bound to come. When that time comes, what the future of Asgard will be, no one knows. I can't knowingly push a child onto a dead end."

Stark took a deep breath, leaned down, and supported Helen's shoulders. Helen was much quieter than Aisha, perhaps because she was younger and her mobility wasn't strong enough. Standing on the table, she had no intention of running away. If it were Aisha, if you didn't catch her for two seconds, she would already be in Manhattan by now.

He looked Helen straight in the eyes and said, "Fine, little one, this is your first time coming to this world, and it's my first time being a father. Let's wish us a happy cooperation."

Helen blinked, grinned with her mouth full of sharp teeth, and smiled at him. Stark shivered from her smile. He reached out, pointed at those sharp teeth, and said, "... Let's not talk about anything else for now, she's going to go to school in the future, what about these sharp teeth?"

"Natural. She's too young for correction. Go to S. H. I. E. L. D. and find a dentist with a tested moral level, and get a diagnosis for dental deformity." Shiler sat back in his original position, writing medical records without lifting his head, and said, "Nick will issue her a lifelong correction plan and then happily add it to the reimbursement items."

"However, a tycoon like you shouldn't care about that little kickback, so I'll keep it for you. Remember to call me for the baptism."

"Um... then what about the eyes?"

"Heterochromia... S. H. I. E. L. D.... an ophthalmologist with a tested moral level... Nick... lifelong treatment plan... reimbursement items... kickback... baptism..."

"These sharp spikes on the body... fine, you don't need to say it. An orthopedist with a tested moral level, I'll call you for the baptism."

In the end, Stark still took Helen away. For some reason, on the way back to his laboratory in Stark Tower, he always had a feeling of sneaking around, as if he were transporting some contraband.

Not until he arrived at the laboratory he was most familiar with and closed the door did Stark exhale and finally relax.

Suddenly, the lights in the laboratory turned on, and Jarvis's welcome sound rang out as usual: "Welcome back, sir. Your 32 pending projects are ready, and the progress is... um????"

Stark swore that this was the first time he had heard such a human-like "Um??" in Jarvis's tone.

Suddenly, a sound came from the next laboratory, and soon, Jarvis, who had entered the body of that super robot, walked in directly from outside the door.

Stark was also seeing such an obvious expression of shock on a robot's face for the first time, but subsequently, he heard Jarvis say, "... Sir, have the legal issues been handled?"

"Uh, this actually isn't..."

"You don't need to explain to me." Jarvis beeped twice and then said, "Action route uploading... Upload complete. All surveillance equipment along the way has been hacked. I can erase all the footage you left on the road when you came over just now at any time to prevent the young lady's background from being rumored and criticized."

"High-risk newspapers, news media, and well-known commentator accounts have been hacked. I can perform public opinion control at any time to prevent certain rumors unfavorable to your and the young lady's reputation from spreading..."

"Sir, what is the young lady's name? How should I address her? I need to record it. Also, the next time Miss Loki comes here, should I address her as Madam?"

"No, you listen to me, the situation is like this..."

Stark spent a long time talking, finally convincing Jarvis to believe that this was not a child he and Loki had, but a child he and Loki had.

Jarvis squatted down and stared at Helen's face. He tilted his head, and the eyes on the robot's face flashed twice. Subsequently, he said, "The young lady's teeth?... The orthodontist has been booked. If you need it, they will come to diagnose and treat her in an hour."

"Three high-amount donation records can be used for priority treatment at the Presbyterian Hospital. Currently, there are 3 high-end wards remaining in the ophthalmology department and 12 high-end wards remaining in the orthopedics department. Appointment information is pending transmission..."

"Wait a minute!" Stark reached out and said, "Don't book at the Presbyterian Hospital. Find S. H. I. E. L. D. This child has a greedy godfather."

Just as Stark and Jarvis were squatting in front of Helen, studying the various abnormalities of her body, Thor was rushing out of the Sanctum Sanctorum in a rage, holding a long spear, and rushing toward Stark Tower.

Originally, after listening to Shiler, he had headed straight for the Sanctum Sanctorum, wanting to find trouble with Strange. And it was unlikely that Strange could beat Thor, after all, he hadn't been learning magic for long.

But unfortunately, every Sorcerer Supreme had cheating tools. After Strange shouted "Thor, listen to my explanation!" more than 500 times, Thor finally listened to his explanation.

Strange actually didn't intend to explain. He and Loki didn't have anything going on to begin with. He admitted that Loki, who had turned into a female, was beautiful, but she wasn't his type either. Strange had recently had some thoughts of reconciling with his ex-girlfriend and was immersed in rekindling old feelings. Hearing that Loki was in love, he pointed Thor toward a clear path.

Upon hearing that Tony Stark and his sister were known as soulmates and confidants, Thor almost bit his teeth to pieces.

Originally, he thought that if it really was the Sorcerer Supreme's doing, after he beat Strange up, if he really couldn't persuade Loki, it wouldn't be impossible for the two of them to barely make a pair.

Although Strange hadn't been learning magic for long and his strength wasn't strong enough, his brain was very useful, and he was considered reliable, and his potential was very strong, so he was barely a match for Loki.

But Stark, he was stronger than Strange and smarter than Strange. The problem was, having stayed on Earth for so long, didn't Thor know how rotten Tony Stark's reputation was in this regard?

If this rotten person dared to deceive his sister... Thor was almost exploding with anger just thinking about it. If Loki really had taken a fancy to Stark, the only solution Thor could think of was to pin her down and make her turn back into a male god. But what if Stark was also not picky about gender...

Thor really felt his head buzzing.

Thor didn't come this time to experience life, so he flew directly, and within a few seconds, he flew outside the Stark Tower building.

Just as he arrived outside the glass curtain wall and wanted to knock on the door, Thor saw Stark picking up a little girl and placing her on the laboratory table, with a robot operating the instruments on the side.

Just as the instrument was calibrated and Stark picked up the little girl and placed her on the instrument, the little girl happened to reveal her face to Thor.

Thor saw that the little girl in Stark's arms looked at least 80% like Loki.
