Christine noticed Susan's pale face and sat down beside her, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. It's just that Dr. Reed has met someone he can talk to, isn't it? Look how happy he is now. I think he would rather stay in the lab than say some insincere things to others here."

Susan sighed and said, "Even so, he can't completely ignore other people's feelings. Didn't you see just now? Victor was going to introduce Reed to some friends, but Reed left after saying only a few words."

Christine said, "Hehe, actually Adam sometimes does that too, and he rarely goes to parties anymore since we met." As she spoke, she pulled Susan aside and started whispering some secrets between women.

Meanwhile, Victor glanced at Reed, who was talking to Adam, and a shadow crossed his eyes. He then sighed, put on a fake smile, and went to Adam and Dr. Reed's side.

"Hey Adam, Reed, what are you two talking about? You seem to be having a great time. Would you mind if I listened in?"

Reed frowned slightly after being interrupted, but because he was not good with words, he shook his head and said, "Let's talk about some experimental issues. You know that Mr. Adam's advice has been very helpful to me in some aspects."

I've been studying for the cybersecurity officer certification exam these past few days, it's so difficult! It's keeping me so busy that I don't have time to think about anything else, and my writing skills have gotten quite rusty.

Chapter 234 Something Still Happened

Because of Victor's arrival, the communication between Adam and Dr. Reed was forced to stop. Of course, Adam could also see that this was because Victor had discovered Dr. Reed's true talent. Although he still didn't think much of Dr. Reed, at the very least, he didn't want Adam to get involved until Dr. Reed could recoup his investment and achieve his goals.

"Don't worry, since you invested in Dr. Reed first, I won't interfere anymore. I think I still have that much credibility."

Victor gave an awkward smile and said, "You're overthinking it, Adam. I just saw you two having a great time chatting and couldn't resist coming over."

Adam shrugged and said, "You made a very good move this time, Victor. Dr. Reed is a real genius. If his experiment succeeds this time, you may have the opportunity to join 'their' list."

Victor shifted excitedly upon hearing this, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Adam. I believe this is a very good investment, and I truly admire Dr. Reed and his team."

eads (all-around salesperson).

Adam found it amusing, thinking to himself, "You only admire Susan, don't you?" But he didn't say it aloud, since it was their own business and Adam had no right to interfere.

We chatted like this for a while, exchanging only a few words, and the party passed by uneventfully.

Time slipped by unnoticed. During this time, besides taking turns protecting New York City, Adam and Christine, along with Christine and Athena, researched how to combine magic and technology. Adam, while having Peter Parker and Harry Osborn continue searching for clues, also made time each day to further improve the Watchtower space station. Meanwhile, Dr. Reed, along with a few members of his team and Victor, left Earth to conduct experiments on cosmic rays in outer space.

Everything proceeded normally until one day Harry Osborne suddenly approached Adam and said that a project invested in by the Osborne Group was about to enter the experimental phase.

Adam, holding the invitation in his hand, said, "Dr. Otto's experiment has finally begun?" He then looked at Harry Osborn, who had personally delivered the invitation.

Harry smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. This is the first investment I've made since taking over the company, so I invited you to come and take a look."

Adam patted the invitation in his hand and said, "To be honest! You can only fool Peter with this kind of nonsense."

He didn't believe Harry would actually let him go because of something like this. After all, from his interactions with Adam, he knew that Harry Osborne was much more mature than the average young man. He wouldn't do something so boastful.

“Alright, you win.” Harry Osborn shrugged. “You’ve heard about the experiment before. Although I paid for a custom-made robotic arm for the doctor using adamantium alloy to ensure its quality, I still have some concerns. And Dr. Otto is too confident in this experiment, planning to conduct it directly in the city, so I had to ask you to come.”

After hearing this, Adam said, "Alright, your experiment is indeed very dangerous, but if it succeeds, humanity will have a new energy source. It will be a groundbreaking experiment, so it's not a problem to go and take a look."

Harry Osborne said happily, "Okay. See you tomorrow then. I have to go back now; I have some things to take care of."

Adam waved goodbye and said, "Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow." Harry Osborne left satisfied after hearing this.

The next day, Adam arrived at the experimental site right on time. In the spacious laboratory, he saw Dr. Otto and his wife conducting their experiments, along with some reporters and government officials—after all, this experiment needed publicity to let more people know it was a groundbreaking experiment.

Upon seeing Adam, Dr. Otto's wife gently tugged at her husband's sleeve. Dr. Otto turned and smiled, "Oh, it seems everyone is here. My testing is complete, and we can begin the experiment."

Harry clapped his hands and said, "Well, I think everyone knows this one, Dr. Otto, one of the most famous scientists in the field of new energy. Now let's invite him to give us a brief introduction."

After listening, Dr. Otto waved his hand slightly, signaling the others to stop clapping, and said, "I call my experiment the artificial sun. It is an experiment that transcends time..." Perhaps because his dream was about to come true, Dr. Otto couldn't help but explain his experiment to the guests who came to watch.

"Doctor, excuse me, but conducting such a dangerous experiment in the city seems inappropriate. And you yourself said it's an artificial sun; wouldn't the heat it emits affect the experiment?" Peter Parker, who loved scientific research, had been listening intently to Dr. Otto's explanation. After hearing the experimental procedures, he couldn't help but ask his question.

eads (A tiger in the late Ming Dynasty).

Dr. Otto looked at Peter Parker with great appreciation, pointed to a spot in the middle covered by a white sheet, and said, “Good question. It’s obvious you’re a good student. Everyone, take a look at this. This is the equipment designed to help me conduct dangerous experiments—mechanical arms with independent intelligence. They are fully capable of assisting me in my experiments. I must thank Mr. Harry Osborn for specially remaking this equipment for my safety and the safety of my experiments. Moreover, to protect my nerves from interference from the mechanical arm’s intelligent system, an inhibition system was specially installed here to ensure that I am controlling the machine, not the other way around. Thank you again, Mr. Harry Osborn.”

Harry Osborne, holding a glass of wine, chuckled, "Doesn't this show how much I admire and respect the doctor's talent? After this experiment succeeds, I think the Nobel Prize is practically guaranteed."

Dr. Otto smiled slightly and said, "It's too early to say." But judging from his confident appearance, he clearly believed that the experiment, which had undergone millions of meticulous calculations, would not go wrong.

At this moment, Dr. Otto's wife, having completed the final preparations, came out and said, "Alright, the experiment can begin. Um, a reminder to all the ladies present: please remove and store your jewelry, as magnetic disturbances may occur during the experiment."

Dr. Otto walked to the three-meter-tall robotic arm, stepped onto the auxiliary equipment, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Now is the moment to witness a miracle!" As he spoke, he completed the installation of the robotic arm and demonstrated his control to the people below with a few simple movements.

Harry turned to Adam and asked, "What do you think? This robotic arm, while still largely based on Dr. Otto's design, also incorporates some of the latest technologies from Osborn Corporation."

After listening, Adam asked, "Apart from the fact that the suppression program is not perfect, it's alright."

Harry shrugged after hearing this and said, "I also wanted to make it more perfect, but unfortunately the function of the inhibition system is to suppress the signals transmitted from the robotic arm to the human brain, and with the current technology, it can only be installed in that location."

At this moment, Dr. Otto arrived in front of the machine, used a robotic arm to hold a tritium element and began the experiment. Soon, the tritium element began to undergo nuclear fusion under energy irradiation. In less than a few seconds, a very small artificial sun appeared on the machine and continued to grow until it became a small sphere with a diameter of about one meter before it stopped growing.

Meanwhile, in the distant outer space, a space research spacecraft reached its designated orbit. Inside the spacecraft, Dr. Reed was looking at the instruments in front of him, his expression growing increasingly serious. After all, conducting experiments in outer space was considered a dangerous undertaking, and no one knew what unexpected events might occur.

Susan glanced at the instruments and said, "Reed, there's only one minute left before the solar flare erupts. We have to hurry."

After hearing this, Dr. Reed said, "Don't rush. Although this is a relatively safe place, we still need to take some protective measures."

Victor, somewhat annoyed, said, "Hey, Dr. Reed, you need to be careful. If we miss this opportunity, I only have so much money left for you to invest. So we absolutely have to succeed!"

Dr. Reed was also getting angry. This man had repeatedly tried to sabotage his relationship with Susan, and now he wanted to interfere in his work. This was completely unlike how he had acted when the contract was signed.

"You need to know Victor too! I'm responsible for the safety of the entire team!" (To be continued)

Chapter 235 Complete Chaos

Two experiments in different locations began. At the scheduled time, the solar flare erupted as predicted. A peculiar ripple followed the flare through Dr. Reed's experimental spaceship. Almost instantly, everyone was stunned by this strange ripple. However, the ripple seemed unsatisfied with its work and continued forward, arriving above Earth in the blink of an eye, silently entering American airspace.

Inside Dr. Otto's experimental building, Dr. Otto looked at the gradually stabilizing artificial sun and couldn't help but smile with a hint of pride. He then smiled at his wife, who had always silently supported him, and prepared to announce his success!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should feel honored to witness the arrival of a new era." Before the doctor could finish speaking, a sudden change stunned everyone.

"Oh my God, Adam, what's wrong with you?" Harry Osborn exclaimed anxiously. Everyone turned around and saw Adam Stark lying on the ground, covered in cold sweat.

This left everyone in disbelief. What had happened to turn America's most powerful superhero into this state? Could it be that this artificial sun had special rays that they were unaware of?

Peter Parker immediately asked Dr. Otto, "Doctor, does this artificial sun have various rays similar to those of the real sun?"

Dr. Otto was somewhat angry and said coldly, "How could that be! I said this is pollution-free, the purest energy. It is only called an artificial sun because its appearance resembles the sun. It does not emit any radiation that is harmful to the human body."

However, an unexpected event occurred at that moment. The artificial sun, which had been operating very quietly, suddenly erupted with a flare like a real sun. It struck the doctor, who had turned around to speak to the people below, and sent him flying. Afterward, the entire artificial sun became extremely volatile, generating a powerful gravitational pull that drew all objects in the laboratory towards it.

Everyone panicked. Was this supposed to be a safe experiment? Ignoring Peter Parker and Harry Osborn's warnings, they started running around. Because Harry Osborn stayed behind to look after Adam, Peter Parker ran out, put on his suit, and ran back in, preparing to forcibly shut down the artificial sun.

The experimental site was a mess. Harry Osborn carried Adam on his back and started running out. After all, he didn't have any superpowers. Most of his power came from various technological products. If there was an explosion here, he wouldn't be able to protect himself and Adam.

The only people at the experimental site were Dr. Otto, who appeared to be unconscious, and his wife, who was trying to stop the experiment. She knew very well that if the experimental site exploded, no one would invest in Dr. Otto anymore, and it would bring them significant financial losses and potential criminal charges. After all, it was Dr. Otto himself who had refused to locate the experimental site in the suburbs.

She kept working hard, but unfortunately, once the tritium element was activated, it couldn't be stopped by ordinary methods. The only way was to completely cut off the power to disable it. However, as a woman, she couldn't possibly complete this operation in a short time. But she couldn't do nothing either, so she tried her best to see if she could cut off the power through the system.

Just then, Spider-Man arrived; he should have been here much earlier. Unfortunately, the fleeing crowds created considerable obstacles for him.

When he went inside, he saw Dr. Otto's wife operating a computer, while on the other side was an artificial sun that was constantly moving erratically. Spider-Man then asked loudly, "Madam, how do I stop this thing?"

Dr. Otto's wife was delighted upon seeing this and said, "Right now, the only way to stop the energy output is through physical isolation, specifically those cables over there. I've already set it up; you just need to unplug them."

Spider-Man replied, "Understood, I'll go right now!" He then leaped several times to avoid the flying metal fragments and arrived at the cable, ready to pull it out and stop the experiment.

"It can't stop. I won't allow it! This is my dream!" After a roar, Dr. Otto, who had somehow woken up, stared at Spider-Man with a ferocious expression, used his mechanical arm to force Spider-Man away, and slowly walked towards the artificial sun.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Otto's wife shouted, "Otto, stop! We failed this time, but we can try again. Don't be foolish!" She then immediately stepped forward to stop Dr. Otto.

Spider-Man also tried to dissuade him, saying, "Doctor, this experiment must be stopped, or it will explode. Wasn't your original intention to bring happiness to humanity? Have you forgotten your original intention?"

Dr. Otto appeared somewhat frantic, his mechanical arm constantly attempting to control the artificial sun, saying, "This is my original intention. I haven't forgotten. I can completely control this energy. You simply don't understand!" He then continued repeating his actions.

Ten minutes passed slowly, and the artificial sun's riots intensified, almost to the point of explosion. Spider-Man felt he couldn't wait any longer, so he sent out several webs to entangle a nearby cabinet, then threw it at Dr. Otto to distract him and pull the cable.

Dr. Otto didn't even glance at it—no, his entire attention was focused on the artificial sun. A robotic arm automatically sprang into action, cleaving the cabinet Spider-Man had thrown into pieces, then suddenly extended and retracted, its blades striking Spider-Man. Spider-Man, with his spider-sense, was naturally immune to the attack, dodging the robotic arm's strike with a few leaps, but he couldn't unplug the cables.

"Ah!!!" Just then, a pitiful cry of pain rang out, attracting the attention of Spider-Man and Dr. Otto. The two saw that Dr. Otto's wife was lying on the ground covered in blood, with a very sharp wooden stick stuck in her chest. It seemed to have come from the cabinet that had just been cleaved by the mechanical arm.

"Oh no!!!" Dr. Otto no longer cared about the experiment. He practically ran over on all eight legs, hugged his wife, and kept calling out, "Darling, no, don't leave me, open your eyes, darling, I haven't bought you your favorite dress yet, wake up!" He shouted like a madman.

Spider-Man was heartbroken when he saw this, but he knew this was not the time to be sad. So he immediately ran to the cables and pulled them out with all his might. This action also caught the attention of Dr. Otto. Having just lost his lover and seeing his experiment fail, he felt that the whole world was filled with darkness.

"No!" Dr. Otto roared, reaching out his mechanical arm to grab the artificial sun. Unfortunately, due to the loss of energy, the artificial sun exploded like a balloon punctured by a needle. Although the explosion was small, it still caused the physically weak Dr. Otto to fall into a coma again.

Half of the laboratory had collapsed, but because the explosion was not very powerful, it did not affect the surrounding area. Dr. Otto lay quietly on the ground, holding his dead wife in his arms. Thanks to the protection of the mechanical arm at the last moment, Dr. Otto only fainted and was not injured.

Suddenly, a few coughs echoed through the completely silent laboratory. Then, a hand abruptly reached out from the rubble, alerting a man who had risen from beneath the debris. Yes, it was Spider-Man, who had just pulled the cable and been thrown back by the force of the explosion. He shook his head, glanced at the deceased Mrs. Doctor and the unconscious Dr. Otto, sighed softly, and left.

Shortly after Spider-Man left, the New York Police Department arrived at the scene and immediately moved Dr. Otto and his wife away. They then arranged for others to handle the aftermath. Of course, all of this was unrelated to Spider-Man, who had just left, as he was now rushing to the Justice League's base to find out about Adam Stark's situation.

Adam's sudden unconsciousness surprised and terrified him, so after dealing with Dr. Otto, he immediately returned to the base. Adam was already lying in a nutrient tank at the base, while Christine watched Athena's actions with great anxiety.

"What happened to Adam? When will he wake up? And why isn't Harry here?" Spider-Man asked anxiously.

"Stop arguing!" Athena said coldly, calmly proceeding with her instructions: "We don't know the cause of his coma yet, but his data is perfectly normal. We'll discuss other matters after he wakes up. Harry has already gone back; his first experiment has run into such a big problem, and he needs to handle some troublesome matters. You can also go back; news of Adam's coma has already spread. Who knows which guys will try to take advantage of the situation? You need to keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing trouble. I'll let you know once Adam is alright."

Chapter 236 Is Superman Dead?

After hearing this, Spider-Man said, "Okay, I'll hold off those guys for now. Sigh, one wave after another. Seriously, it's been so long since I've had a date. √╪" After grumbling for a bit, Spider-Man left the base. After all, just as Athena said, this was the time that would truly test him.

Christine glanced at Spider-Man's retreating figure and asked, "Is he capable? Perhaps I could lend a hand too."

Athena shook her head and said, "He can handle it alone, so don't make things worse. Your mind is too confused right now, and you can't unleash your full strength. If you get injured, your master will be sad." After saying that, she continued to stare at the data in front of her and analyze it.

"How is he?" Christine couldn't refute Athena's question, so she asked what she most wanted to know.

Athena frowned and said, "He's not in mortal danger, but he hasn't woken up, which is very strange. Also, his energy loss is extremely high. It seems we need to go to your love nest. The energy supply here can't keep up with the rate of consumption."

"You mentioned the Temple of the Sun? That's right, there's plenty of the Sun God's power there, which should be able to help Adam recover." Christine was only blinded by the news of Adam's unconsciousness, and after Athena's reminder, she also thought of her hometown.

Athena nodded and said, "That's right. The most suitable way would have been to go to the watchtower and be directly exposed to the sun, but I'm worried that the current master can't withstand such intense sunlight. So I think the special energy in the Temple of the Sun, which has been converted from the power of the Sun God, should be helpful to the master's body."

Christine asked, "Shall we leave now?"

Athena nodded and said, "That's right, the sooner the better. Wait, let me finish. We need to continue checking on the master's condition before we go there, so you need to teleport all the equipment in this house to the Temple of the Sun."

Christine, who was about to use the teleportation spell, paused for a moment, then said, "But there are restrictions inside the temple, so we can't use any technological products. Oh. I've heard my father say that this is the last vestige of dignity for the gods."

Athena pursed her lips and said, "What hypocritical gods! Oh well, I'll figure something out. Of course, I'll need your help too. Perhaps we can try to modify these instruments."

Christine nodded and said, "It seems your research is progressing quite well. What can I do for you?"

Athena smiled and said, "I need your magic."
