Another possibility is that Iron Man and the Hulk collaborated to design and create artificial intelligence by studying Loki's Mind Scepter.

Now, Zhuge Cong felt that it was probably Scorpion who was behind this, turning himself into a mechanical body and then flying high in the sky to speak to the group of superheroes below.

"I am a consciousness of flesh and blood, not limited by flesh and blood. I have been sublimated into a completely new life, renamed Ultron, and from now on, I will stand at the top."

Zhuge Cong thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more likely; this amazing idea was hard to shake off his mind.

Do you think Scorpion will be the villain?

Kazuma Sato stroked his chin, looking thoughtful, and said, "Judging from his previous attitude towards Orochimaru's human experiments, Sasori probably did a lot of human experiments in his research on mechanization, otherwise he wouldn't have been avoiding Zhuge Cong."

"If Scorpion becomes a villain, then Cong can officially set up a sign that says 'Villain Crash Course Institution'."

Hachiman Hikigaya said from the side.

"Oh, really? Then you'll have to be a villain too."

Zhuge Cong turned his head expressionlessly to look at Hachiman Hikigaya and said.

"I probably can't show my face in this state. I'll have to be careful from now on; human experimentation is taboo."

"I can't stay here any longer, let's find somewhere else."

[Scorpion casually picked up a lab coat and walked out of the lab. After Scorpion left, the old-fashioned computer began its self-destruct countdown.]

【300...299...298...297...296...】

297: Sakuta Azusagawa: Mai-senpai, you're mistaken.

[After dressing, Scorpion was shocked by what he saw as he stepped out of the lab. His lab wasn't in the middle of nowhere; on the contrary, it was an underground facility located within the city. Scorpion tried to pull his white lab coat tighter to hide his mechanical limbs, but it was to no avail. The lab coat was too small to cover his entire body.]

[But Scorpion doesn't care. If he's not fully covered, so be it. The exposed parts of his legs will just be mistaken for prosthetics for disabled people, as long as his upper body isn't seen.]

[After leaving the laboratory, Scorpion was completely stunned. The city was no longer the bustling and peaceful place it once was; it was now filled with the marks of war. Scorpion's hearing, enhanced by his modifications, allowed him to hear cheers, cries of pain, and sobs all around him.]

[Many fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars could be seen on the road. Firefighters, police officers, and large numbers of medical personnel were busy everywhere. Scorpion didn't know what kind of villain could cause such destruction. In Scorpion's memory, only that crazed green behemoth could do this.]

[Then Scorpion guessed who the culprits were, because they had already attracted Scorpion's attention: the strangely armored, oddly shaped figures lying on the ground, and the enormous creature collapsed within the building.]

[Scorpion really wanted to grab a passerby and ask them what had happened during the time he was undergoing modifications, but that would seem strange. After all, it would be a lie to say he didn't know about something of this scale and scope. So Scorpion changed his approach and simply checked on his phone.]

"Is this thing an alien?"

"This thing."

[Scorpion glanced at the alien corpse lying on the ground. The moment he turned on his phone, he saw all sorts of news articles, all about the invaders. He quickly browsed several of the top headlines, getting a general idea of ​​what had happened during the surgery. Wanting to keep an alien corpse for further study, he dragged the Chitauri corpse to a nearby manhole cover, mimicking Dr. Imamura Kohei's escape route.]

What attracted Scorpion most about the Chitauri wasn't their equipment or the mysteries of their extraterrestrial life forms, but rather the chain attached to the back of their heads. In the video Scorpion watched, there was a scene where the entire Chitauri collectively logged off.

The moment the chains, which had been glowing with pale blue and purple light, dimmed, the Chitauri and the Leviathans in the sky were instantly paralyzed. Scorpion felt that this thing might contain the field he most wanted to study: consciousness.

"Go ahead and apply for World Heritage status. I've already thought of the content for the application. How about 'The Sewers: Escape Routes During the Debate'?"

Kitahara Iori looked at Imamura Kohei with a smug expression and said that, instead of making Imamura Kohei furious as she had expected, Kitahara Iori's words made Imamura Kohei show an expression that said, "The master's strategy is several versions ahead of yours."

"Ha, that's all you've seen, you shallow fellow."

"Why did Scorpion learn my escape route? It's because my escape route is very practical. As for you, hmph, you're shallow and all you do is laugh like an idiot."

Kohei Imamura's words caused Iori Kitahara's smile to gradually disappear. According to the law of conservation of smiles, a smile does not disappear but will only transfer to another person's face. For example, Iori Kitahara's smile has now transferred to Kohei Imamura's face.

"You're proud to go into the sewers?"

"No one else learned it?"

"Aren't you proud?"

"Didn't you learn it?"

"Aren't you proud?"

"Didn't you learn it?"

Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei were locked in a stalemate, and their tone became increasingly harsh.

"Damn it, you ugly octopus, today I'm going to tear off one of your octopus tentacles, you're the nemesis of a magical girl warrior."

As Kohei Imamura spoke, he began to transform into a lizard, instantly growing to a height of 2.5 meters. It was fortunate that Kohei Imamura and his friends in the diving club usually didn't wear much clothing, otherwise the cell phone with Kohei Imamura's wife's image on it would have been torn apart during this transformation.

"Come on then, who's afraid of you? You green-skinned orc from the sewers, a reptile whose brain is only interested in reproduction."

As Kitahara Iori spoke, the mechanical arm that had been retracted on her back extended out, and the mechanical claws collided with each other, making a crisp clicking sound.

Then Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei started fighting each other.

The members of the diving club were used to the daily brawls between Kohei Imamura and Iori Kitahara. After all, the two of them would fight but never really kill each other. At most, Kohei Imamura would tear off two or three of Iori Kitahara's mechanical tentacles, and Iori Kitahara would perform an amputation on Kohei Imamura. In any case, such damage was nothing to either of them.

Kohei Imamura can heal himself, and Iori Hirokihara can repair himself.

[Scorpion's behavior undoubtedly attracted the attention of others. After all, it's impossible for someone wearing a lab coat with prosthetic limbs that weren't covered up to drag an alien corpse around not to be eye-catching.]

[But Scorpion paid no heed to their gazes, continuing with his important task, dragging the Chitauri's corpse towards the sewers. This act of carrying it allowed Scorpion to once again experience the benefits of mechanical ascension. In the past, he would never have been able to drag it, as the weight of the Chitauri itself combined with the weight of his equipment was quite substantial. However, after the modifications, dragging the Chitauri's corpse was a simple matter for him.]

"Sir, sir, wait a minute, you can't drag that thing."

Scorpion's actions also attracted the attention of the official post-war cleanup and management department. These alien corpses and equipment were extremely valuable; how could they allow a seemingly "crazy" guy to take them away, not even one?

The words of the so-called Post-War Debris Management Bureau were like water off a duck's back to Scorpion. He continued dragging the Chitauri corpses, oblivious to their ignoring him. They spoke again, but this time their tone lacked the patience of the first.

"Sir! Sir! You need to stop. If you keep dragging your things, we'll have to take stronger measures against you."

Faced with Scorpion's continued indifference, the leader addressed those around him.

"Take this guy aside."

Two burly men walked towards Scorpion. Such physiques would frighten most ordinary people, but Scorpion ignored them, continuing to drag the Chitauri's corpse. He then lifted the sewer manhole cover. Seeing Scorpion's actions, the supervisor immediately shouted.

"Stop him!"

The two guys went from walking to running, after all, they hadn't expected Scorpion to lift the manhole cover and try to throw the Chitauri's corpse down the drain. But they were too late. The modified Scorpion's strength was beyond the realm of normal humans. He lifted the manhole cover as easily as picking up a coin and kicked the Chitauri's corpse down the drain.

[Only then did those guys notice that the scorpion's legs weren't made of flesh and blood.]

[Scorpion glanced indifferently at the group of guys before jumping into the sewers. He then hoisted the Chitauri's corpse onto his shoulder and ran off quickly. Scorpion mentally counted down the seconds; in a dozen seconds, it would explode, attracting Zhuge Cong and the others. Then, he truly wouldn't be able to escape.]

The two guys could only stare at the sewer opening, perplexed. It wasn't that they were unwilling to jump in, but even if they did, they weren't guaranteed to find Scorpion; after all, the city's sewer system was incredibly complex.

"Never mind, it's just one. There are so many left. Oh, and if anyone tries to drag it away again, just stop them. Understand?"

[The manager watched Scorpion leave with the Chitauri corpse and said, "Actually, it wasn't just Scorpion; quite a few other daring guys were also sneaking around stealing Chitauri corpses." Then, a huge explosion rang out, and because he was in a bad position, the shockwave from the blast sent him and his men flying.]

The explosion at Scorpion's underground laboratory also drew the attention of the city's inhabitants. After all, this was a very sensitive matter; the Chitauri had just completed their invasion, and the sudden massive explosion in the city had once again heightened the tension among the already tense population.

Scorpion, inside the sewers, also heard the massive explosion and even felt the tremors beneath his feet. This was exactly what Scorpion wanted; the explosion would draw everyone's attention, preventing anyone from noticing him. Of course, if the explosion wasn't thorough enough, it would reveal his location. However, the laboratory wasn't large, and Scorpion felt that such a powerful explosion should be enough to completely destroy it.

The light screen gradually dimmed as Scorpion carried the corpse of the Chitauri.

"Clap clap clap."

As the light screen disappeared, Sato Kazuma clapped for Zhuge Cong. Although Sato Kazuma didn't say anything, Zhuge Cong felt that Sato Kazuma had said a lot.

"All that's missing is Hachiman."

Sato Kazuma spoke to Zhuge Cong and Hikigaya Hachiman in a very emotional tone, accompanied by a strange look in his eyes, as if he were looking at something he had recorded and grown up little by little.

His fists hardened, and Zhuge Cong felt an unbearable itch to fight. Sato Kazuma in front of him was the perfect target. Zhuge Cong's gaze towards Sato Kazuma gradually became dangerous, and Sato Kazuma also sensed Zhuge Cong's increasingly dangerous gaze. He knew that if he brought up the topic again, it wouldn't be surprising if Zhuge Cong hit him.

"By the way, what do you guys think the next Easter egg will be like? Will it feature me again?"

Kazuma Sato abruptly changed the subject, successfully preventing Zhuge Cong from attacking him. At that moment, Zhuge Cong felt like he was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors from One Piece. Kaido was there to power up Luffy and level him up, while he was there to power up the villains and nurture their followers. Oh, right, Kaido isn't one of the Four Emperors anymore, which is perfect, since he's no longer the leader of the Iron Alliance; the Iron Alliance is empty now.

"I don't think you'll appear again. I feel like we might show you some Easter eggs related to the Hulk and Thor."

"After all, the light screens for Hulk and Thor hadn't even been shown yet when it jumped, so I feel like it might be the light screens for Thor and Hulk."

Hachiman Hikigaya spoke up, and his words carried some weight, though not much. After all, the pattern of the Easter eggs appearing on the light screen was unpredictable, even more difficult than figuring out how to win the lottery.

------------

"This Scorpion seems likely to be a major villain, especially given his current mastery of human mechanical modification technology, plus the Chitauri corpses he stole."

"It's like mixing two very strong chemicals together, and then something even more terrifying is born."

Sakurajima Mai said to Azusagawa Sakuta, who was standing next to her, and Azusagawa Sakuta, upon hearing Sakurajima Mai's words, thought that combining two dangerous things would create something even more dangerous. Suddenly, something popped into his head: a carving diagram that Zhuge Cong had shown him online.

"I don't think what Mai-senpai said is quite right."

"Ok?"

Mai Sakurajima tilted her head in confusion as she listened to Sakuta Azusagawa's words, wondering what he would say next.

"Look at chlorine and sodium, these two things are so dangerous, but when they are combined, they are not an even more dangerous thing, but a harmless thing, salt."

Sakuta Azusagawa said in a serious tone, and Mai Sakurajima felt that what Sakuta Azusagawa said made some sense. Chlorine plus sodium produces sodium chloride, and sodium chloride is the main component of table salt.

"Nonsense, and that was just a metaphor. Besides, don't you think Scorpion will become the main villain?"

298: The Superpowered Being Created by the Mind Scepter

"And I remember you and Iron Man Zhuge Cong had a good relationship, didn't you? Aren't you worried?"

Sakurajima Mai looked at Azusagawa Sakuta and said something. Azusagawa Sakuta smiled and said something after hearing Sakurajima Mai's words.
