Chapter 736: Danger, Thanos, Danger (Part 2)

Strange and Stark were both stunned on the spot.

Strange opened his mouth wide, walked up, and said, "This... how can this be taken off? Is it a physical object? Isn't it a halo made of energy?"

Shiler handed the halo to him. Strange didn't dare to take it. He leaned in to look and found that this halo really had a physical body. The light around the halo was very rich, but in the center part, the light actually weakened, just like a ring-shaped light strip.

Stark took the halo from Shiler's hand. He weighed it in his hand and found that it was not heavy. The weight was about the same as vibranium of the same size.

Touching it, there was no texture at all, as if the temperature and roughness were exactly the same as the surface of the finger. Although holding something, it felt like there was nothing at all.

"What is this? What did you use to build it?" Stark repeatedly examined the halo and said, "Its properties are a bit magical, and the material doesn't seem to be any known metal..."

Shiler cleared his throat and said:

"Just a few days ago, I offered a sacrifice to God that he was very satisfied with, and proposed to visit Heaven, but unfortunately, he refused me."

"At this time, I could only settle for the next best thing, hoping to get God's blessing, but he refused again. Of course, I am not willing to ask for more from the greatest and most merciful Savior, so I obtained the status of an angel."

Shiler snapped his fingers, and the halo returned to his head. Stark didn't see how it moved at all, and didn't even feel when it disappeared from his hand.

Shiler took the halo off his head again and said, "Obviously, I am now a glorious angel, and the status is not low, similar to the Seven Archangels. God praised me highly, so this halo is also special..."

Stark and Strange stood on the spot, both staring at Shiler in exactly the same posture, that is, hugging their arms, leaning back, with an expression of "Did he not take his medicine this morning" on their faces.

"If you don't want to tell the truth, you can just shut up, no need to make up such stories." Strange shook his head and said, "If someone like you could go to Heaven, I would burn the Bible when I go back."

"I didn't go to Heaven." Shiler spun the halo with his finger and said, "I just obtained the household registration of Heaven, and this halo."

Stark was more pragmatic. He looked at Shiler and said, "Okay, setting aside that absurd story, what can this halo do?"

"It can light up!"

After speaking, Shiler showed it to Stark and Strange.

He held the halo, paused for a moment, and soft light filled the entire laboratory, making it bright.

The halo was not a light source. The light was not generated with this halo as the center, but appeared evenly throughout the room, making it look very bright.

"Anything else?" Stark continued to ask.

"Uh... it can be enlarged and reduced." After speaking, Shiler showed it again. He held the halo, and instantly, the halo became the size of a hula hoop, and immediately after, it became half the height of the room.

Subsequently, the halo started to shrink again, until it was too small to be seen. Shiler continued, "And, I can take it back anywhere, just a thought, and it will return to my head."

"Very good, anything else?" Strange continued to ask.

"Hmm..." Shiler thought for dozens of seconds before saying, "Maybe, it is very hard."

"Come on, this is the angel halo you said God gave you? Except for being a light bulb, being able to enlarge and shrink, having anti-theft functions, and being very hard, there are no other functions?" Stark stared at Shiler and asked.

"No way? Don't tell me, this is something you got with great effort? Normally, shouldn't this kind of thing have some holy light technique, blessing, or something?"

After Strange finished speaking, he walked up directly. Shiler took the halo off his head and handed it to Stark and Strange.

Strange studied it and found that this halo really had no other use. He used magic energy to activate it, but this thing was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy was filled in, there was no reaction, and the energy put in could not be taken out.

As for any attributes like holy light, healing, or blessing, there were none at all. No matter how he tried, it would just stay there quietly.

Stark and Strange looked at this halo, both speechless. Stark shook his head and said, "This is the most useless thing that has appeared on you so far, really."

Strange nodded in deep agreement.

In their view, every thing that appeared on Shiler was necessary. The symbiote Gray Mist provided him with extremely powerful mobility and could prevent many dangers. That umbrella used a very magical material and could be used as a weapon and defend against long-range attacks.

Only this halo, except for these basic abilities, had no other use, which looked really abrupt.

However, Shiler seemed to like this halo very much.

Strange shook his head, completely unable to understand the thoughts of this madman. As for the story Shiler told, Strange and Stark didn't take it seriously. When Shiler didn't want to tell the truth, he would make up all kinds of outrageous stories. This was their consensus.

"Okay, then let's test the functions you mentioned." Stark took the halo and said.

Just then, Bruce Banner walked in. While turning to close the door, he said: "Tony, the data you want probably won't be available until next week... Oh, you are all here. What are you doing here? Also, why are there so many lights on in the laboratory?"

Banner looked around the entire laboratory. It was much brighter than usual. He smiled and said, "I hope my laboratory can also have such conditions. One of the ceiling lights in my laboratory is broken and hasn't been repaired yet."

"It doesn't matter, Dr. Banner, I'll help you fix it later." Shiler turned and said. Stark sneered, rolled his eyes, and said, "You don't think you can fix the ceiling light in the laboratory just because you can screw in a light bulb, do you?"

Shiler glanced at him sideways without speaking. Banner walked up and pointed to the halo in Stark's hand and said, "What is this? Is it a new invention you made?"

"It's the crystallization of this psychologist's delusion... Forget it, Bruce, you came just in time. Let's test what kind of attributes this strange halo has."

Two physics geniuses got together, and there was no room for Strange and Shiler to speak. Soon, they launched a series of experiments and successfully tested the special features of this halo.

First is the first function, which is light emission. Stark found that the light of this halo does not follow physical properties and cannot be refracted, but it can appear anywhere.

This kind of light has no light source, it just suddenly lights up within a range of about 50 meters, a bit like increasing the brightness of an image. All objects within the field of view will become bright.

No building can block it. Within the range covered by the light, there is no shadow, and all places are bright.

And the second function, enlargement and reduction, has nothing to say, it's just that the speed of enlargement and reduction is very slow and cannot be used as a weapon through rapid expansion.

The weight will change with enlargement and reduction, but there is no way to detect the density. At the same time, the limit of reduction exceeds the microscopic limit observable by humans, so it cannot be judged how small it can be reduced.

As for the return function, it is indeed as Strange said, this is just an anti-theft function. No matter where the halo is, Shiler can recall it at any time, ignoring space and environment, but the return location is on his head.

Regarding this, Stark also conducted other tests and found that this halo can only stay on top of Shiler's head. Even if anyone else gets the halo, the halo will not automatically float on their head. Only Shiler can do this.

And the most critical point is the hardness. Currently, all known metals owned by Stark's laboratory cannot shake it.

Rare and expensive metals such as vibranium, adamantium, and molten steel did not show higher hardness performance after collision tests.

Stark fixed the halo to a machine. The machine fixed the halo from the inside and then started to rotate at high speed.

The halo slowly approached a piece of adamantium metal and then cut it open like cutting butter.

Shiler nodded with satisfaction and said, "At least, it can also be used as a knife, right?"

Stark and Banner shook their heads together and sighed. Shiler looked at them, and Banner explained, "We have more efficient methods to cut similar metals, and in today's urgent need to improve efficiency, if this material cannot be mass-produced, it is meaningless."

Shiler sighed and said, "Okay, it seems that's it."

"Wait, can't it be taken out as a weapon?" Strange asked.

"This is its strange point. In some aspects, it does not follow physical laws at all, but in some aspects, it follows physical laws too much." Stark threw the halo out after taking it down.

The halo fell to the ground, making a "clanging" sound. After shaking a few times on the ground, it stopped there. Stark said, "Look, how much lethality it can produce mainly depends on the force thrown out."

"During the flight, it has no acceleration of its own. Even if we can provide it with an acceleration, why should we do this? A warhead is not the harder the better..."

"Simply put, this is a brick that is harder than anything else." Banner summarized very incisively.

After confirmation by multiple experts, this halo indeed has nothing too special. Shiler guessed that these attributes might just be generated by certain religious imagery and the act of crossing worlds.

When several people were about to break up, Shiler turned to Banner and said, "Let's go, Dr. Banner, I am still more concerned about your laboratory ceiling light, of course, also concerned about your mental state. Is your other personality okay?"

"I was just about to find you to talk about this. Recently, he has undergone some changes, and I don't know how to describe it..."

"It doesn't matter, let's go to your laboratory and talk slowly."

Shiler and Banner drove to Banner's laboratory. As soon as they walked into the laboratory, Shiler found that the light here was indeed a bit dim. One of the ceiling lights fixed on the ceiling was not on.

Shiler turned into gray mist and flew up to repair the ceiling light, while asking about Banner's mental state. However, in the state of gray mist, the halo still floated on his head, and he had not fully adapted to having a halo on his head.

Shiler controlled the gray mist to rush upward. The mist did not cause any damage to the ceiling, but the very hard halo was directly embedded in the ceiling.

With a "click," the ceiling was knocked out of a hole by Shiler. At the same time, the ceiling light he was repairing on his head and the three lights around him went out instantly.

Looking at the laboratory that became darker, Shiler, who fell down, rubbed his hands and said, "Sorry, Dr. Banner, your light might... but it doesn't matter..."

As he said, he reached out, took the halo off his head, stuffed it to Banner, and then said, "Since it was this halo that broke your light, let it be responsible for the lighting tonight."

As he said, Shiler snapped his fingers, and instantly, the laboratory became incomparably bright.

After Shiler walked out of the room, Banner looked at the halo and shook his head in confusion. ===== CHAPTER 737 =====
