I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 113 New-Style Church

"Tony, I cut my finger. Can you use your magic to heal it?"

Tony, who had just arrived at the director's office, turned pale instantly at those words.

Natasha was pointing a finger at Tony, and a small wound was faintly visible.

"If you're not worried about divine punishment, I can let you try it."

Although Tony doesn't believe in the Son of God, he respects him, after all, as the god who saved New York from the clutches of evil.

The divine magic He bestowed should be used for more valuable purposes, not to treat such a small wound on the woman in front of him!

"Why would I be afraid? The question is, do you dare to use it?"

Natasha winked at Tony and then raised her slender fingers again, signaling Tony to hurry up and treat her hand.

Tony's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with a hint of teasing.

He gently shook his head, walked up to Natasha, and deliberately slowed his movements, as if performing a solemn ceremony. In reality, he simply blew a breath onto her wound and said mysteriously, "Look, this is my 'divine magic,' instantly healing without leaving a trace."

Natasha's eyes widened, she looked at her fingers with feigned surprise, then burst out laughing. She knew Tony was joking. "Oh, Tony, you're a real comedian. But if this really is divine magic, then I'll have to consider coming to you for 'treatment' a few times a day."

Tony shrugged, a hint of smugness in his smile.

"Then I'm afraid my 'divine power' will be exhausted. After all, I'm not a real god."

However, if you really need any help, whether scientific or practical, I'm happy to assist you.

"So, Tony, what are you here for?"

Xia Ling's voice rang out at this moment. He stood up from behind his desk, his gaze shifting between Tony and Natasha with a hint of amusement.

Is he getting carried away by flirting with Natasha in front of him after just a few days as archbishop?

"Oh, Director Xia, that's exactly what I was going to tell you."

Tony dropped his joking expression and became serious.

"Regarding the church construction, I have some new ideas and details that I need to discuss with you."

"Church construction? Everything's already been agreed upon, is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Xia Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly surprised by Tony's sudden change of topic, but then he showed interest.

"Indeed, Director Xia, our previous concept was based on a balance between tradition and the sacred, but after careful consideration, I believe we can go a step further and build the church into a unique space that integrates technology and faith."

Tony's eyes gleamed with excitement; he knew his idea would be an unprecedented undertaking.

"Imagine a church that not only retains a solemn altar, exquisite murals, and melodious bells, but also incorporates the latest technological elements."

For example, virtual reality technology can be used to recreate classic scenes from the Bible, allowing believers to experience those sacred moments firsthand; or intelligent guided tour systems can be set up to tailor tour routes and learning content to each individual's faith background and interests.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, but she was immediately drawn to Tony's idea.

"Tony, your idea is really bold. Combining technology with the church is fantastic. Yahweh also needs to keep up with the times."

His ability to create multiple copies of himself proves this point. Excellent, Tony. This will likely attract more young people and tech enthusiasts to the church, allowing them to experience the power of faith.

"Not only that."

Tony continued.

"I also plan to set up a science and technology education center in the church, inviting scientists, engineers and believers to exchange ideas and explore how science and technology can better serve society and promote the progress of human spiritual civilization."

In this way, the church is no longer an isolated entity separate from the secular world, but becomes a bridge connecting different fields and different ideas.

O Supreme Holy Son, heretics have already emerged on their own. Bishop Tony Stark is one, and so is your Desolate King!

Natasha was dumbfounded. Were they really talking about building a church? It sounded completely unrelated.

"Director, Tony, are you... are you creating a new paradigm for the fusion of religion and technology?"

Natasha's voice trembled slightly. She considered herself not a traditional person and was adept at using her charms; those who fell for her schemes all said it was good.

But today, Natasha suddenly realized that she might actually be a traditional person.

She simply couldn't accept this kind of church.

"You could say that Tony, as a bishop of the Holy Son and a believer of the Pantheon, is able to combine these two aspects, which sounds quite interesting."

"Look, even His Majesty the Desolate King has said so. How dare I, a mere bishop, disobey?"

Seeing the two of them working together so harmoniously, a complex emotion flashed in Natasha's eyes.

"I...I don't know how to put it, but this idea is truly unprecedented, and you could even say it's revolutionary."

Natasha stopped and looked directly at Tony and Xia Ling.

"But so many of my colleagues have become priests, so we still need to seriously consider this. Otherwise, if the Son of God were to strike us with lightning, there would be no one to work at S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Let Thor catch it when it strikes. He's the God of Thunder, so taking a bolt of lightning shouldn't be a problem for him."

Tony joked that it was a good thing Thor wasn't here, otherwise Iron Man would have had to try out what Thor's hammer tasted like.

"Don't worry, Natasha, the Holy Son isn't that petty. No one from S.H.I.E.L.D. will die."

Xia Ling smiled and comforted Natasha, finding this side of Natasha quite novel.

"Alright then, you are the Desolate King personally appointed by the Holy Son, and also the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., everything will be based on you."

Natasha sighed helplessly. After all, she was just a lowly secretary, and her voice carried little weight.

"Speaking of which, where did Coulson go? And why is Natasha handling business in your office?"

Tony finally realized something was wrong. Coulson, who had always been Xia Ling's loyal follower, was nowhere to be seen, which made Tony, who had always seen the two of them together, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Colson is the governor after all, and he still has to handle affairs in the state government. I can't let him handle my affairs anymore."

We can't just exploit people to the point of exhaustion; we have to fish in a sustainable way.

"Therefore, I specifically appointed Natasha as my secretary to assist me in handling affairs."

"When there's work to be done, the secretary will handle it; when there's nothing to do, hehe."

The two men exchanged a knowing smile.
