A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 204 Encirclement

Forge a sword similar to Sargeras' Gorsh'rach or Surtur's Twilight Blade.

This sounds like a fantasy.

Because these two weapons, besides being famous and powerful, are also...

The most important point is that they are big enough.

After all, the owners of both weapons were colossal creatures.

The fact that these two weapons could "explode a planet" is not only due to the strength of their owners, but also to the high quality of the weapons themselves.

Their enormous size is also one of the reasons.

For a creature as insignificant as humans, let alone the issue of the quality of the weapons they create.

The sheer size of these two weapons presents a huge challenge.

However, a problem doesn't mean it's unsolvable.

Even Neltharion, the Black Dragonflight King in World of Warcraft, could have goblins craft him a full set of source plate armor.

Why couldn't Levi have Tony's mechanical army help him forge a weapon like that?

As for the issue of weapon grade, it can be completely resolved by using materials and inlaying.

The main material is vibranium—Wakanda has a vibranium mine that's almost an entire mountain range in size, which is more than enough for Levi to forge a divine weapon. The problem is how to get the Wakandans to contribute it.

And if they're going to embed it, aren't they just looking for the power gem?

As for why they didn't just use the Power Stone to destroy the planet, instead of going through all the trouble of forging this weapon...

This is because Li Wei felt that destroying a star with just the Power Gem would probably not be so easy.

Because in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, the scenes shown to Star-Lord and his crew by the Collector only showed the Celestials using the Power Stone to cause devastating damage to the surface of a planet, but the planet itself was not destroyed.

Moreover, even a normal person would probably be unable to withstand the power of the Power Stone to achieve that level.

If only there were a weapon big enough to pierce deep into a planet and inject the power of the Power Gem into its interior... tsk tsk.

And without a Power Gem.

The Space Stone, Reality Stone, and Time Stone are also options.

He even inlaid all the gems—the Infinity Gauntlet might be able to, but Levi didn't believe that such a weapon couldn't withstand the power of all the gems.

Hmm, with a weapon like this, who the hell would dare to mess with him?

Thanos is nothing! He even dares to slaughter the gods like pigs.

"...Let's not even talk about how you forged such a weapon. Even if you did, how would you use it with your small frame?" Tony obviously didn't take Levi's words seriously and immediately mocked him.

"Theoretically, it's impossible, but what if we had a suit of Iron Man suit big enough?" Levi said, looking at Tony.

Tony's smile froze instantly.

Then he thought of the Hulkbuster armor—when he first met Bruce Banner, Levi had mentioned the idea of ​​the Hulkbuster armor to him, and he had indeed put it on the agenda.

However, due to various reasons, it has been delayed in being put into action.

After all, with Bruce Banner living in the Wildlands and Levi having some ability to limit the Hulk, the need for the Hulkbuster armor was not urgent, and it was too expensive.

So Tony simply didn't go and build the actual object.

The initial design of the Hulkbuster armor, although it is actually only one size larger than the Hulk, is 11 feet (3.35 meters).

But who says the Hulkbuster armor can't be expanded further?

"Now that you mention it, it does sound a bit like a super-sized humanoid mecha," Tony said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "So your idea is to use vibranium?"

Normally, Tony wouldn't be interested in super-large humanoid mechs.

It's not that it's impossible.

However, under normal circumstances, the larger the humanoid mecha is, the greater the pressure on the legs, joints, and other parts, which places extremely high demands on the materials.

Moreover, it's not very agile in terms of movement, and it's completely different from the Iron Man suit.

To put it simply, the Iron Man suit is just a full-body powered exoskeleton.

This is why the Iron Man suit is so slender, while the Hulkbuster armor looks so round and chubby.

Keep in mind that the Hulkbuster armor is only a little over a meter taller than the Iron Man suit.

However, if this mech were made entirely of vibranium... things would be much simpler.

"That's right, but it's just a hypothesis after all. After all, you know that vibranium is in the hands of Wakanda and Taroken," Levi sighed.

"That's true, it's too early to say anything now," Tony said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Wakanda and Taroken... Regardless of whether we build weapons and mechs or not, it's time to find an opportunity to talk to them after we return to Earth.

If vibranium could be used in many of the technologies they purchased this time, it would greatly improve efficiency and quality.

However, the amount of vibranium consumed is quite large.

The quantity provided by Ulysses Crow alone is no longer sufficient.

As for Antarctic vibranium, its properties are quite different from vibranium, and the two cannot replace each other in scientific research.

Just as Tony and Levi were chatting and dreaming about the future, the lights inside the spaceship suddenly turned red.

Then came the piercing alarm.

The two exchanged a glance and hurriedly ran towards the cockpit.

It also connected the cockpit to communications.

"What happened, Skye!" Levi asked, Skye being the driver on duty at the time.

"We're surrounded! They have so many ships!" Skye's voice sounded somewhat panicked.

Ultimately, she's just a young girl who's barely come of age and hasn't experienced any major events, nor has she participated in any previous operations against S.H.I.E.L.D.

Skye's panic made Levi frown slightly.

Surrounded? Probably raiders from somewhere. How many ships could they be?

However, when they arrived at the cockpit and saw the dense array of spaceships outside the porthole, Li Wei realized that he had misunderstood the little girl.

Even Levi and Tony felt a chill run down their spines at the sheer number of spaceships.

The alliance members all had good eyesight. Although they couldn't count the exact number, they could tell at a glance that the other side had at least a thousand.

The spacecraft's intelligent statistics provide an even more precise figure.

Exactly one thousand.

"We just left Xandar's star system and they surrounded us. They've obviously been waiting for us here for a long time," Skye said nervously.

"Sovelin..." Levi sighed helplessly upon seeing these spaceships.

Indeed, the shape of the spaceships surrounding them was very familiar to Levi; it was the Sovereign fleet that nearly cornered Star-Lord and his crew in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

"What? They're Sovereigns?" The others didn't recognize their origins, and were shocked upon hearing Li Wei's words. Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Shanna.

Because they have absolutely no connection with Sovelin.

The only one who can connect with the other is Shanna, who was once captured by the other's creator, the Supreme Evolution, and used for human experiments.

It's highly unlikely that the fact that the other party surrounded them out of nowhere had nothing to do with Shanna.

But when exactly were they targeted?

"Sanna must have been targeted back in Xandar," Levi sighed.

While they were in Xandar, all they thought about was not attracting the attention of the Xandar people.

Later, feeling slighted, he became more assertive and acted more ostentatiously.

However, they overlooked the possibility that Shanna might be noticed.

"It's all my fault... Just hand me over." Shanna gave a helpless look.

"Are you kidding me? While our alliance may not want trouble, we're never afraid of it either. If we just hand you over like this, what kind of superhero team are we?" Hearing Xander's words, Tony scoffed first, expressing his disagreement, then looked at Levi and asked, "What do you think?"
