Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

"Fuck!" Harry jumped up in fright at Strange appearing out of nowhere next to him.

"Couldn't you have given me a heads-up before you came?!"

Strange didn't have time to pay attention to him.

He was immersed in this unprecedented experience of power, his mind racing through all sorts of possibilities.

His surgeon's mindset led him to immediately think of the incredible applications of these abilities in the medical field—telekinesis? Wouldn't that mean tumors could be removed directly from a patient's body without surgery?

With that thought in mind, he made a cut in his chest cavity without thinking and took out his heart.

Looking at the heart that was still beating in his hand.

Strange's face was filled with a kind of intoxicated feeling, as if he were the creator.

Harry, standing to the side, was deathly pale.

This ability is too overpowered! He can take a person's heart with just one slash. Doesn't that mean that if he wants to, killing anyone is just a matter of thinking about it?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quietly move closer to Peter and suggest:

"Peter, are you sure you don't want to find some leverage against him beforehand?"

"This ability is too bizarre. If he wants to harm people, none of us except you can do anything about it!"

Hey, I can hear you!

Strange flashed behind Harry once again, and a small ornament on the coffee table fell onto the sofa.

“In this space, I can hear not only your voices, but also your heartbeats clearly.”

As Strange spoke, he suddenly slashed Harry with a knife.

"Fuck! Peter, help me!"

Harry was horrified when he saw his open chest cavity.

Although it doesn't hurt, no one would feel comfortable seeing their internal organs floating in mid-air.

“Don’t worry, I’m not as stingy as you think!” Strange clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, then made a small incision in Harry’s kidney.

The next second, a tiny crystal floated in his palm.

"What is this?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

“Your kidney stones,” Strange replied.

"Normally, this size would take half the life of an average person. But in other words, with this level of physical fitness and self-healing ability, how could you still develop kidney stones? Just how fancy are you playing around, kid!"

Harry blushed and could only stammer out:

"Mind your own business when it comes to rich kids!"

"Tch~" Strange curled his lip, then ignored Harry standing to the side. After hesitating for a moment, he placed the heart in his hand in front of Peter:

“Mr. Arbitrator, I think you should accept this.”

"Oh~!" Peter raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Strange had even mastered the trick of offering his heart without any instruction.

"Accepting my heart is tantamount to putting my life in your hands at all times."

Strange stated with a serious expression:

"It serves as both a deterrent and a constraint on me."

"As long as my heart is in your hands, whenever I have any impulsive thoughts, I will first think about whether doing so would cause you to crush my heart... This helps me to be a calm person enough."

Upon hearing this, Harry was stunned and began to look at Strange with new respect.

The fact that he could take the initiative to do this much is absolutely enough to demonstrate Strange's benevolent heart.

On the other side, Peter, upon hearing this, did not refuse. He took the heart and, with a flash, hid it in the alternate dimension.

"When you behave exactly like the rest of the Avengers, I will return it to you!"

Strange bowed respectfully to Peter:

Thank you for your understanding.

Chapter 422 Ultron

Seeing that Strange had gone this far, Peter simply gave him a matching weapon.

It was a two-handed greatsword that was entirely blue-green.

It was "The Wolf's Song of Martial Arts" that Peter bought from the store this month.

He originally intended to give the greatsword to Natasha as a gift.

But considering that Natasha already had the artifact dagger, he simply gave it to Strange to use.

It can just serve the same purpose as the "ghostly wailing" in Luo's hands.

Strange hesitated before taking the greatsword.

A stylish look is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

For a mature man, a straight wooden stick is enough to fascinate him, let alone a two-handed greatsword that is over two meters long and has an incredibly exquisite design.

But that's also the problem—the design is just too eye-catching.

Who would be a good person to carry a two-meter-long sword down the street?

"Sir, isn't this a bit too much? Besides, I don't know how to use a sword at all."

"It's enough to make it easy for you to cut. Of course, if you want to practice your sword skills, you can go to S.H.I.E.L.D., where professionals will teach you the relevant knowledge."

"As for storage..."

Peter hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"I'll ask a scientist named Pym Hank for some Pym particles in a while. Those things can compress it to the size of a pendant, then I won't have to worry about it being too conspicuous!"

Hearing Peter say this, Strange was completely relieved and accepted Peter's arrangement.

……

After sending Strange away, Peter dealt with some backlogged administrative tasks at Parker Technology—mainly signing documents.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the behind-the-scenes owner of Parker Technologies, he has to sign his name on various documents for a few days every month.

After finishing the documents, Peter hesitated for a moment and instead of going home immediately, he went to Stark Industries.

Since he was already out working today, he planned to finish all the work he needed to do in one go.

Then concentrate all your time on dates with Sif, Natasha, or Daisy.

Of course, if Wanda and Mantis also want to join in, he won't refuse...

In Stark Industries' top-level laboratory, Tony, unsurprisingly, was still working on designing a global defense system.

Since the Super Skrulls, also known as the Secret Wars, the Avengers have completely transformed from a superhero organization solely belonging to Amelia into a global superhero organization.

Considering that the crises we will face in the future will mostly be global.

The Avengers have now reached a deep strategic partnership with the United Nations to build defense lines around the world that are on par with those in New York.

Without the Space Stone, this would be a pipe dream.

However, with the Space Stone providing teleportation capabilities and near-infinite energy, the feasibility has been greatly enhanced.

It's also worth mentioning that Wakanda and Talokan took this opportunity to reveal the existence of vibranium to the world.

At Peter's behest, Black Panther T'Chaka and Aquaman Namor became unofficial members of the Avengers.

The three parties made a deal: the United Nations granted Wakanda and Talokan the power to defend themselves against any country attempting to illegally possess vibranium. In return, Black Panther and Aquaman would serve the Avengers, and both countries would provide a large amount of vibranium to build defensive lines around the world.

Win-win.

At least on the surface, it's a win-win situation.

As for the undercurrents beneath the surface... that's not something we need to worry about at this stage.

I had a brief chat with Tony about the progress of the global defense construction, and the situation was much more optimistic than Peter had imagined.

On the one hand, after seeing the alien army, all countries believed that the construction of these fortifications was imminent.

On the other hand, with Amelika's defensive fortifications as a prototype, the subsequent construction work was mostly basic and didn't require Tony's much attention.

"The only difficulty lies in Freddy's upgrade and permissions issues."

Tony, eating the cheeseburger Peter had brought him, mumbled something indistinctly:

"Freddy is more than capable of handling the defenses of Alika, but its current computing power is insufficient to handle the population scheduling of more than 200 countries and billions of people worldwide at the same time."

"I plan to merge Freddy and Jarvis to form a super AI director who can access the data systems of various countries and even temporarily take over the artificial intelligence of other countries, thereby achieving central coordination."

"But as you know, this involves information security issues, and most countries have strong opposition to it, so it's not easy to implement."

Listening to Tony's story, Peter suddenly remembered one of the bosses in the cinematic universe—Ultron.

In the MCU cinematic universe, Tony's obsession with artificial intelligence and the power of the Mind Stone ultimately gave birth to the AI ​​madman who nearly destroyed the world.

Thinking of this, Peter smiled silently.

Why even think about it?

The world's soul gems have all been sacrificed by him.

Without the Mind Stone, it is theoretically impossible for an artificial intelligence with self-awareness to be created.

Thinking of this, he said half-jokingly:

"If you actually manage to do this, then you'll have to give it a new name again."

Upon hearing this, Tony thought for a moment, then blurted out:

"Ultron".

So... is this the inertia of world lines converging?

“…That’s not a good name,” Peter couldn’t help but complain.

"How so?" Tony asked.

Peter really didn't know how to explain this to Tony, so he could only vaguely say:
