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 is called magic by the mages of Kamar-Taj is actually the power of the cosmic demon gods, and the power of the cosmic demon gods is actually the cosmic source energy they can utilize.
And the divine power possessed by the gods of Asgard is actually another way of utilizing cosmic source energy. The reason this race is superior is that they are born with the ability to utilize the most primal energy of the universe.
The energy that humans can use is actually just the most superficial manifestation of cosmic source energy, and humans must also rely on tools.
Whether one can utilize cosmic source energy doesn't actually depend on the physical body; the physical body only determines how much energy can be stored. Just like the Ancient One when she was "licking the package," the more powerful her physical body, the more energy she could store.
The key to utilizing cosmic source energy actually lies 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 first thunderbolt in the universe is just like every Aesir, born with the ability to reach primal energy, or in other words, she is actually a descendant of the god race.
Although she looks very much like Loki, that might be because the first thing she saw when she hatched was Loki in mid-air. And if we look at the principle, she should be an Aesir, because what reignited her soul fire was actually Thor's divine power, and Thor is a pure Aesir.
After listening to Schiller's explanation, Stark widened his eyes, looked at the little girl, and said, "So, she is still an Aesir, and at the same time, she can use an Arc Reactor?"
Before Schiller could answer, Stark rattled off like a machine gun, "That is to say, she is born with divine power, but at the same time, she can use the energy of an Arc Reactor. How are these two powers 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 reached the level of divine power?"
"Are these energies from the same source? Or is it that suppression at the level occurs due to the difference in status?"
Stark's spirit of research burned fiercely, and his eyes looking at the little girl were glowing.
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 shuttled between the two, and Schiller just watched this scene, which was like *The Lion King*, quietly from the side.
"Possessing human technological power and the physique and divine power of an 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. Schiller knew that in both Latin and Greek, Helen meant torch and light.
"So, you've decided to adopt her?" Schiller asked again.
This time, Stark's attitude was different from before. He placed Helen on the desktop, 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." 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 be harmed."
Stark turned his head back again, lowered his head to look Helen in the eye, and said, "I haven't been a father, but at least I know one most basic principle: don't be biased when treating children. And this principle, the whole of Asgard doesn't understand."
"They might not not understand, they just don't care." Schiller reached out and touched Helen's hair, saying, "The reason Asgard has fallen into today's predicament has a lot to do with their education."
"And..." Stark hesitated and said, "Ragnarok will definitely come. At that time, what the future of Asgard will be, no one knows. I can't knowingly push a child onto a path to death."
Stark took a deep breath, leaned over, and supported Helen's shoulders. Helen was much quieter than Aisha, perhaps because she was younger and her mobility wasn't strong enough. When she stood on the table, she didn't mean to run 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 eye and said, "Alright, little one, this is your first time coming to this world, and it's also my first time being a father. Let's wish for a happy cooperation."
Helen blinked, opened 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 should we do about these sharp teeth?"
"Born with them, she's too young for correction. Go to S. H. I. E. L. D. and find a dentist with a trustworthy moral character, and get a diagnosis for dental deformity." Schiller 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 bit of a 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 character... Nick... lifelong treatment plan... reimbursement items... kickback... baptism..."
"These sharp spikes on the body... alright, you don't need to say anymore. An orthopedist with a tested moral character, 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, just like transporting some contraband.
Not until he arrived at the laboratory he was most familiar with and closed the door did Stark let out a breath 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 heard such a human-like "um??" in Jarvis's tone.
Suddenly, a sound came from the laboratory next door, and soon, Jarvis, who had entered the body of that super robot, walked in directly from outside the door.
This was also the first time Stark saw such an obvious look of shock on a robot's face, but afterward, 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 on the way has been hacked. You can erase all the images left on the road when you just came over at any time to prevent rumors and criticism about the young lady's background."
"High-risk newspaper offices, news media, and well-known commentator accounts have been hacked. We can control public opinion at any time to prevent the spread of certain rumors unfavorable to you and the young lady..."
"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, listen to me, the matter is like this..."
Stark spent a long time talking, finally convincing Jarvis to believe that this wasn't a child born to him and Loki, but a child born to him and Loki.
Jarvis squatted down, staring at Helen's face. He tilted his head, and the eyes on the robot's face flashed twice, then said, "The young lady's teeth?... The dental orthodontist has been booked. If you need it, they will come to the door for diagnosis and treatment in an hour."
"Three large donation records can be used for priority treatment at Presbyterian Hospital. Currently, there are 3 high-end wards remaining in the ophthalmology department and 12 in the orthopedics department. Appointment information is pending transmission..."
"Wait a minute!" Stark stretched out his hand and said, "Don't book at 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 storming out of the Sanctum Sanctorum, holding a long spear, and rushing toward Stark Tower.
Originally, after listening to Schiller's words, he went straight to 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 very long.
But unfortunately, every Sorcerer Supreme has cheating props. 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 very beautiful, but she wasn't his type either. Strange recently had some thoughts of getting back together with his ex-girlfriend and was indulging in the rekindling of old love. Hearing that Loki was in love, he pointed Thor toward a clear path.
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 who did it, 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 very 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 indeed stronger than Strange and smarter than Strange. The problem was, Thor, who had stayed on Earth for so long, didn't he know how rotten Tony Stark's reputation was in this regard?
If this rotten person dared to deceive his sister... Thor was about to explode 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 change back into a male god. But what if Stark was also indiscriminate about gender...
Thor really felt his head buzzing.
Thor didn't come this time to experience life, so he flew directly and flew outside the Stark Tower building in just a few seconds.
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 putting her on the laboratory table, with a robot operating instruments on the side.
Just as the instruments were adjusted and Stark picked up the little girl and put 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.
