Chapter 168 Unscientific Gravity

Inside Stark Tower.

Tony Stark is cautiously conducting research on the Extremis virus. Mutants, aliens, Hydra, and certain things he has seen before all give him a sense of urgency and an urgent desire to become stronger.

As an inventor, he knew what he was best at. The research on the Extremis virus was just an extension of the suit. Tony wanted to use the Extremis virus to perfectly enhance his body, and then in turn, enable the suit to do even more.

Besides his research on the Extremis virus, he is trying to make his armor portable, but unfortunately, things aren't going very smoothly. He is currently waiting to complete a technical exchange with Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards.

Yes, because of the various dangers threatening humanity on Earth, Reed approached Tony first, hoping to form a more secretive and smaller organization with him.

This organization will be composed of several of the smartest, richest, and most influential superheroes on Earth, in order to deal with the impending dangers facing the world.

Besides exchanging dangerous information, scientists who join this organization can also share certain technologies. This is not mandatory; they are free to choose whether or not to share technology. In fact, technologies that seem easy to some people can inspire others and save them a lot of time.

Upon hearing this, Tony immediately agreed and, along with Reed, put each other to a certain extent in a test. Both intelligent men were quite satisfied with each other's performance.

The organization's name was confirmed after Bruce Banner was invited to join by Tony; it was called—

Illuminati.

……

Rubbed his temples, Tony put down the test tube, cleaned up the experimental residue, and walked out of the lab. Jarvis's voice came at just the right moment:

"Sir, the gravity detection device has detected changes in the gravitational field around the Earth. However, based on the changes in the force field, the Earth itself has not been greatly affected. As for the reason for the change, it has not yet been found."

"Is that so? I understand."

Tony shrugged and kept swiping the screen in front of him. The image was on [The Great Source] Li Buying, with the Weaver and Lorna Dane, as well as several other names that the Weaver had mentioned.

According to intelligence, both [Giant Source] and [Weaver] belong to the same secret organization, and they are accompanied by a super hacker called [Hacker], who leads them under the guidance of [Prophet].

So far, the prophet has indeed foretold many things, including various great dangers.

But this did not reassure Tony and many others. On the contrary, it made them feel that the organization was very dangerous. If the secret organization consisted of only three people, the Weaver, the Hacker, and the Oracle, without any powerful forces, they would indeed be good helpers.

The weaver killing so many people wasn't a big deal. Although the higher-ups were nervous, they were still confident they could deal with the weaver. The problem was that, in addition to the three who hadn't shown much strength, there was now a [Giant Source] in the organization, which was troublesome.

The mere fact that he could turn an aircraft carrier into scrap metal with a wave of his hand was enough to attract a lot of attention. However, based on the research and speculation of many people, it is not hard to find that the one who fought the black phoenix in the sky and changed the gravitational field was also likely him.

The former is serious enough to warrant serious attention, capable of destroying a city, but the latter is capable of destroying an entire continent, which is more than just serious; it inspires fear.

Most importantly, the authorities failed to exploit Li Buying's weakness. With the help of the Oracle, the mutants timed their escape perfectly and took advantage of the chaos caused by the battle between Hydra and the authorities to announce the establishment of a nation on the island, something no one had expected.

The fact that he is of Chinese descent, suspected of being a mutant, and has only one adopted sister as a relative is enough for the government to be alarmed.

Mega-source, mega-source...

"Jarvis, bring up the gravity map. What is the extent of this particular gravitational force?"

Tony didn't have much ill will towards Li Buying due to his influence in the Weavers, but Li Buying was simply too powerful, especially since her ability could cause problems with Earth's force field, which made the superheroes wary.

While Tony was drinking coffee, Jarvis revealed a statistic that astonished him: "According to calculations and inferences, this special gravitational field, though weak, can affect Neptune from Earth."

……

At the same time, Li Buying was trying to learn similar techniques of using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.

A week has passed since Li Buying came from outer space. Tonight, the night sky is exceptionally bright. He sits on the rooftop, gazing up at the universe. He raises his hands, his ten fingers slightly spread, and a wave that is imperceptible to ordinary people radiates outward from his body.

These fluctuations are subtle and subtle, making them difficult to detect. More importantly, they are very similar to the Earth's gravitational field on the surface. Without the aid of instruments, even some powerful individuals would find it difficult to realize that this is happening.

Through the diffusion of gravity, Li Buying sensed the various overlapping force fields in the universe. Gravity itself is weak among the four fundamental forces, but it strengthens as objects grow larger, and may even multiply with the increase of force fields.

If an object has a large enough mass and enough overlap, its gravity can surpass the forces it carries. A black hole is the most extreme example of this.

These overlapping force fields constitute the current celestial motions, making the universe what it is today.

With her ten outstretched fingers connected to different gravitational fields, Li Buying sensed a cluster of tiny meteorites rapidly passing by Earth. Her fingertips twitched slightly as if being pulled by spider silk, and the dense web woven by gravity spread and rippled, growing stronger as it moved away.

A cluster of meteorites in space was suddenly pulled away by gravitational fluctuations and began to change course, falling straight toward Earth. They disappeared into the atmosphere, without even being seen as meteors.

Opening his eyes, Li Buying got up and patted his pants, a hint of joy on his face. He had always used single force fields or similar static force fields in an overlapping manner, never thinking of overlapping forces. Now it seemed that he could do something he originally intended to do with fewer resources.

As he stood up, Jean Grey, who had been standing to his side unnoticed, asked with a look of surprise, "Magi North, what were you just doing?"

"I'm just using my ability, which conforms to but doesn't quite conform to the laws of physics, to conduct some experiments," Li Buying said casually. It seemed that at least Jean Grey had sensed the change and extension of gravity.

His superpower is indeed strange. It becomes stronger when it conforms to the laws of physics in certain aspects, but it can still be used even when it does not conform to the laws of physics. It is somewhat like the "Reality Bending" mentioned by a certain foundation.
