He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

"The Mother Box is not just a weapon; it is also a tool for the expansion of the Apokolips civilization."

As he learned more, Cyborg's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Connect, transform, assimilate, and turn everything into an order that Darkseid can control."

"So Kant didn't just want to summon Darkseid; he also wanted the fragment to remember the planet's coordinates."

Natasha looked at the red lines pulsating around the fragment.

“That’s right.” Tony raised his hand, his fingertips moving rapidly in the air. “And we’re going to take it apart and replace it with a reverse road sign.”

"What does 'reverse road sign' mean?" Hal asked, straightening up with his cane on the green light. "Are you going to fight back?"

Tony's eyes were filled with fervor. "If it can bring Apokolips to me, it can also tell me how to shut down Apokolips's defense system."

Bruce's gaze sharpened. "You want to rebel against the Mother Box armor?"

Tony snapped his fingers. "Bingo, as a reward, you'll reimburse me for material costs from now on."

The temporary laboratory was set up at the deepest part of the bat cave.

The fragments of the Mother Box in Gotham Square were sealed in the center by six layers of energy shields.

Tony, Cyborg, and Bruce surrounded it, each with an increasingly grim expression.

Clark stood outside the energy shield, arms crossed, his thermal vision ready to be deployed at any moment.

Thor sat to the side, holding Mjolnir, his eyes filled with the frustration of wanting to smash it but not being allowed to.

"I must remind you again, this is a bat cave, not a bomb testing ground."

Bruce stared at Tony's hand; every time Tony got close to the danger button, his blood pressure would spike.

Tony didn't even look up. "Don't worry, I respect my clients' property. At most, I'll blow up a third of your cave."

"Tony."

"Okay, a quarter, no less than that."

Cyborg didn't engage in the verbal battle; his robotic arm disassembled into sixteen tiny data probes.

Each one hung on the outside of the fragment, and I dared not actually touch it.

The first batch of data exported from the fragments has filled half of the bat computer, and the image is divided into three layers.

Physical structure, spatial anchor points, consciousness protocol.

"What is this part?"

Bruce stared at the dark red model on the third floor that was constantly writhing.

"Domination Agreement." Cyborg's electronic eyes glowed slightly before he explained.

"It determines whether the object it comes into contact with has the will to resist, and then uses the mother box frequency to suppress its autonomous judgment. This logic is also used in Parademon modification."

Tony sneered, "So the core of Apokolips' technology is to turn everyone into obedient tools."

"Actually, his abilities are essentially the same as the Joker's."

"This is also why Darkseid suppresses all free civilizations."

Big Badar stood at the entrance of the passage, her voice somewhat muffled.

"To him, any world that does not obey will pollute his order."

"And you, do you still believe in that kind of order?" Diana stood beside her.

Big Badah looked at the lab table but did not answer immediately.

"I only knew that resisting would lead to death, but today I realized that not resisting will also result in being abandoned."

This statement silenced the laboratory for a moment.

"Welcome to the free world. Your starter pack is confusion and bills."

Tony looked up at her, and surprisingly, he didn't laugh at her.

Big Bada didn't understand his joke, and her expression remained stiff.

Bruce wasted no time. "Let's continue."

"The first step is to extract the spatial anchor points of the mother box fragment."

Tony placed a small Amadam resonator on the control panel.

"The second step is to rewrite its access control shell using spirit stone energy."

"The third step is to fit this shell into my armor."

Cyborg's mechanical eye flashed. "The third step is the most dangerous. The Mother Box fragments will identify you as the host and then attempt to modify your armor and body."

"It's worth a try." Tony tapped his breastplate. "I've been inhabited by symbiotes, black holes, chakra, and ancient spirit stones."

"There's also a bunch of ridiculous stuff that I'm too lazy to categorize myself."

Bruce added in a deep voice, "That's the problem. Your system is too complex. If the mother box finds any loophole, it will cause a chain reaction of contamination."

"So I need you to keep an eye on the outer isolation, Victor to keep an eye on the Mother Box language, and Jarvis to keep an eye on the Warframe core."

Tony paused for a moment, then continued.

Clark looked at Tony. "What should I do?"

Tony looked at the shard. "If my eyes turn red and I start praising Darkseid's greatness, you knock me out."

Thor immediately stood up. "I can do that too."

Tony pointed at him, "You're no good. I'm afraid you'll just add insult to injury."

Thor thought about it carefully, "It is indeed possible."

Bruce didn't laugh; he shut down all the non-essential systems in the Batcave.

Energy was switched to an independent power grid, and escape routes were opened one by one.

Tony finally started the fusion test.

The Yamadam resonance plate was attached to the energy shield, and red light flowed along the shield wall toward the mother box fragment, and the originally dark red patterns began to be pushed back by the red and gold light.

Simultaneously, the probes of the steel skeleton were inserted into the data layer, and sixteen blue rays wove together to form a net, locking the dominance protocol on the innermost side.

Jarvis's voice kept broadcasting, "Permission shell generation 17%, 29%, 43%..."

"Target resistance has increased, and spatial anchors are unusually active."

Suddenly, the fragments of the mother box emitted a sharp cry, and large sections of the stalactites at the top of the bat cave crumbled.

A ring of black squares rose from the ground, and each square was collapsing inward.

Bruce immediately activated the outer isolation wall. "Space collapse has begun, covering a range of three meters, and is expanding."

"Victor, hold back the Domination Agreement." Tony didn't stop.

"It's summoning Apokolips; it wants to reconnect this place to the teleportation channel."

His jaw was clenched, and the blue light emanating from his mechanical body was blindingly bright.

Clark's eyes flashed red. "Can I cut it off?"

"Don't cut it, the data will be lost." Tony's hands moved quickly. "Give me ten seconds."

The collapse area expanded to five meters, and the edge of the experimental table was torn apart.

The metal parts were pulverized before they even hit the ground. Bruce threw out four space stabilizers to stabilize the outer ring of the energy shield.

"You only have six seconds!" Bruce's voice was very low.

Tony, sweat beading on his forehead, persisted, "Are all rich people this good at bargaining?"

Suddenly, a black and red crack appeared as the fragment of the mother box was torn open, and countless overlapping whispers came from the depths of the crack.

Obedience, submission, unity, Darkseid.

When Big Badar heard these words, her body stiffened abruptly.

The veins on the back of her hand bulged, and she instinctively tried to find a weapon, her past training memories dredging up from her very bones.

"Look at me, don't look at that crack." Diana raised her hand and pressed it against her shoulder.

Big Badah was breathing heavily, but she did not kneel down to show submission.

Dark red patterns also crept onto Tony's armor, causing Jarvis to experience his first noticeable lag.

"Sir, the outer permissions have been compromised, and the mother box is attempting to write a dominance command."
