"Thor! Calm down! Listen to my explanation! Things aren't what you think!

!" Stark's roar echoed in the deep space of the universe, but Thor didn't listen to his explanation at all, just constantly attacking with thunder.

Judging from Thor's attack method, one could tell he had been angered to the point of dizziness. Actually, although Thor's combat style of always charging at the front was criticized by many, saying he didn't look like a successor and a monarch, it was undeniable that his strength was really strong, possessing excellent tactical intuition, which was why he could charge at the front every time without losing his life.

But now, this master of melee tactics had been angered to the point where he only knew how to throw wild punches. Normally speaking, the power of the God of Light, composed of thunder and fire, had many ways to be utilized, and to a certain extent, it also restrained Stark's machine swarm, because thunder was very easy to conduct between machines.

Actually, using a divine power cage to control Stark's forward speed while consuming the mechanical parts around him was the best tactical method, because Thor actually knew that Stark couldn't hold on for too long.

The peak of the single universe was a very awkward position for Stark. Above this position, one merges into one, no longer shackled by any energy, becoming a part of the universe's source, and thus no longer needing energy. Below this position, driving a human body and mechanical parts also didn't need too much energy.

However, at the level of the peak of the single universe, one must forcibly use magic energy to lift it up to maintain such powerful strength. But obviously, the magic energy in Stark's hands wasn't enough, so Thor fighting a war of attrition with him was the best way.

But now, the mindless Thor didn't attack the mechanical parts around Stark at all, just outputting one thick bolt of lightning after another at maximum power, striking at Stark's head, as if he wouldn't stop until he struck this scumbag to death.

"Warning, energy insufficient! Warning, energy insufficient! Sir, the current energy in the magic core can only maintain for another minute and a half. It is recommended to send a distress signal immediately!"

"No, can't ask for help!" Stark refused flatly. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I call them all over, wouldn't that be watching my joke?! Thor will definitely spread rumors about me. Loki and I are simply not..."

"Warning! Core energy output continues to decline... Some unnecessary protective measures have been removed, attack frequency is declining, continuing to decline... continuing to decline..."

"Remove all attack energy storage!" Stark made a decision of last resort. He said: "Concentrate all energy on defensive measures, otherwise I won't be able to withstand his thunder at all."

Dense thunder was still falling non-stop. Thor's divine power wasn't completely without consumption either. After his initial burst, with the consumption of divine power, he finally calmed down a little.

But this was even worse for Stark. As Thor regained his sanity, his tactics began to become cunning. He no longer used thunder to attack the entire protective shield evenly, but kept hitting one point. Stark, whose energy was already in an emergency, had warnings flashing continuously.

Suddenly, Stark heard Jarvis say, "Unknown energy source detected, magic energy is abundant, absorbing... Energy replenished to 60%, shield strength has been fully improved."

"Energy? Where did the energy come from?" Stark asked very puzzled. Jarvis continued to reply, "Environmental scanning... captured a portal about to open... 3, 2, 1..."

"Tony! Catch!" A portal opened, Strange flew out from it, and threw a crystal ball flickering with magic light to Stark.

Stark caught it subconsciously and asked, "How did you come here?? Also, I didn't even know when you started a part-time job delivering takeout!"

"Don't ask so much, Schiller asked me to come. Hurry up and absorb the energy, Thor won't let you off so easily."

"Oh!" Stark suddenly said to Strange, "Hurry up and help me explain! Things aren't what Thor thinks at all! That child isn't born to me and Loki, actually it's... well, it also counts, but it's not the kind of birth he thinks..."

"What? Loki? Child? You mean, you and Loki have a child?!

!" Strange asked loudly.

Before Stark could explain, "Crack," another bolt of lightning struck. Thor, who had just sobered up a little, was stimulated by this sentence again and continued to attack Stark.

The energy Stark had just absorbed hadn't been adjusted yet. He could only temporarily avoid the edge, so he started running again, Thor started chasing again, and the two started speeding in the universe again.

Stark felt somewhat guilty to some extent. After all, it was a fact that he stood Loki up. Even if that child was mostly the result of some outrageous plan Schiller had cooked up, but after all, he had already decided to adopt Helen, so it wasn't good to really make a move on Thor.

So, he was running while fighting, not lingering in battle, dodging if he could, intending to rely on the magic energy from Strange's attack to exhaust Thor until he was drained. Once Thor had no strength, he would naturally listen to his explanation.

But as he ran, other things in the universe suffered. Whether it was celestial bodies or demon gods, as long as they were bumped into by these two universe-wrecking parties, they would either get a big slap or be wiped out directly.

However, unlike the last membership gift event, this time there wasn't that group of abyss-mouthed cosmic demon gods following behind to eat. Instead, it was a strange combination of the Ancient One, Strange, and Mephisto, holding sacks and loading them behind.

Originally, the deposit business didn't intend to pull this old goat Mephisto. This was the internal business of the Sanctum Sanctorum, but coincidentally, Thor and Stark's fight was bumped into by Mephisto, so he could only be given a share.

Mephisto helped the Sanctum Sanctorum pick up these deposits, and the Sanctum Sanctorum gave him relatively better interest rate conditions, plus some financial products. Mephisto didn't care about this interest, the key was, being able to fleece the Sanctum Sanctorum was a demon achievement for him.

Just before, the broadcast of the Sanctum Sanctorum had already spread to every member client. Once they heard that they could store membership gifts? And not only was there no fee, but they were also given interest for free? Then they definitely had to store it!

Although they needed to digest it and couldn't eat it temporarily, there would always be a day when they were hungry. Who would think that reserve food was too much?

The way the Sanctum Sanctorum distributed membership gifts this time was to first pick up all the corpses of the demon gods affected by Stark and Thor, then distribute them according to the proportion each had eaten last time, pay them into personal accounts, and then start calculating interest.

In the early stages, this business really looked like it had all advantages and no disadvantages. Not only would they not miss membership gifts, but they could also get interest for free. Even some demon gods with flexible brains were already consulting about putting some of the remaining energy they hadn't had time to digest into the Sanctum Sanctorum for storage.

Especially after hearing that the larger the deposit amount, the better the interest rate, many demon gods had this intention.

Currently, the credit of the Sanctum Sanctorum was relatively good, and these things were originally money falling from the sky. Even if they were gone, they wouldn't lose anything themselves, but instead had become much stronger because of the energy they had already absorbed.

Therefore, many demon gods were willing to take out a small part of their energy to test. If it was really as the Sanctum Sanctorum said, and the interest increased, wouldn't they be able to have more energy in the future?

Perhaps, anyone who knows about the banking industry should know that, simply put, the reason why banks are willing to provide interest for clients' money stored there is actually because concentrating this money can play a greater role.

Encouraging savings or lending depends on market conditions. If they want to encourage consumption, they will give more preferential treatment in lending. And if they hope to absorb more deposits, they will have more preferential conditions in savings.

The relationship between banks and the market is inseparable, and if the Sanctum Sanctorum can really become the bank with the most credit and the most clients in the universe, it can have a huge impact on the cosmic market.

And at the same time, human civilization, which has absorbed huge savings funds, can also use this part of the stored funds to develop itself, and this is also the ultimate goal of Schiller's plan.

"Invincible Village Master"

First, using Doomsday, Stark, Loki, and the thunder on the hammer to create a child. The fact that the Arc Reactor would appear directly on Helen was indeed beyond Schiller's expectations. But even if the Arc Reactor hadn't appeared on Helen, Schiller had ways to make Thor or other people of the Asgardian god system think that there was something between Stark and Loki.

This actually wasn't difficult, because these two already communicated too frequently. It was easy to spread gossip. As for the child, Schiller was confident in persuading Stark to adopt her. And in this way, it was inevitable that Thor would fight with Stark.

Seeing that this wave of membership gifts had been collected, Schiller directly directed Strange to mediate the fight. And the best way to mediate was to bring Helen over. No matter how angry Thor was, seeing the child, he definitely wouldn't be able to make a move.

Of course, Helen's hatching also had Schiller's share. Schiller definitely wouldn't take such a small child to face the two demon gods at the peak of the single universe in the universe directly.

So, Schiller first turned into gray mist and brought Helen to the high altitude of Earth. Helen wasn't afraid at all. When it was higher and the oxygen was thin, Schiller had already started to control the gray mist to provide oxygen for Helen, but Helen immediately evolved the ability to survive in an oxygen-deficient environment.

And further up, after entering space, Helen simply didn't breathe. And just like Doomsday in the original work, she could absorb the energy of the sun and was completely unafraid of the sun's radioactivity and heat.

In this way, Schiller was slightly relieved. He removed the restrictions of the gray mist. At first, Helen, who was floating in space, was a bit confused, but soon, she could control her body in space.

Immediately following, she stayed in place for a while, and suddenly started flying in space. The radiance of divine power covered her body. Obviously, Helen had evolved the ability to use divine power as a driving force to roam in the universe.

Seeing this, Schiller knew that there was no need for any adaptive training. Throwing Helen into the battlefield of Thor and Stark and letting her stay for a few dozen minutes, she might be able to pin these two people who had run out of energy and beat them up.

Seeing this situation, Schiller picked up Helen and called Strange. After a while, a portal opened above his head. Schiller flew in and descended not far from the battlefield of Stark and Thor.

At this time, the battle between the two had reached the final stage, and neither had much energy left. But before, Stark had obtained supplies from Strange, so now his energy was actually more than Thor's.

Thor, who had attacked mindlessly before, had wasted too much divine power. By now, his blue bar was basically empty. But fortunately, Thor himself was also a berserker. It didn't matter if he had no blue, just go up and throw punches.

Stark, however, hadn't been angered to the point of losing his mind. He didn't intend to engage in close-quarters combat with Thor, so he dodged while using the energy beams from his palms to block Thor's actions, intending to wait until his energy was completely exhausted before explaining to him.

Helen, who had been picked up by Strange and was being held, tilted her head and watched the battlefield intently. Strange was chatting with Schiller and didn't notice that the little one in his arms actually revealed a thoughtful expression that was extremely inconsistent with her age.

"The harvest this time is more than last time, but the quality isn't as good as last time. After experiencing so many crises, those with a bit of brains know how to hide. It seems that business will be hard to do in the future." Strange sighed and said.

"No need to worry. The reduction in the number of demon gods is a good thing for the entire universe, and even more so for humanity. No matter which aspect, we don't lose. The worst case is just that the business can't be expanded."

"That's easy to say, but I think... Ah! Helen! Helen! Come back!

!" Strange screamed, because Helen jumped out of his arms directly.

Strange waved his cloak and hurriedly wanted to chase after her. However, this little one was fast. Strange squinted his eyes and found that Helen wasn't running, but teleporting directly.

I saw a flash of divine power, and Helen appeared directly in the center of the battlefield. Stark saw her figure and shouted, "Helen?? How did you... Leave here!

!"

Suddenly, Stark froze. He saw that in the dark cosmic space, a small figure struck the most classic pose of Iron Man—

The Arc Reactor suddenly lit up. She stretched out a hand, and an energy beam erupted from her palm, the brilliance pouring out, incomparably brilliant.
