Chapter 441: Chapter 441
[The Void Engine's space-time algorithm has now been upgraded to the fourth generation, with the Big Bug Bridge data support completed.]
[Engine power source: Energy Spark]
[Second-generation Angel Gene additional functions: Dark Energy Reading, Steel Body, Fourth-Generation Space-Time Algorithm, Intermediate Matter Definition, Intermediate Concept Rewriting.]
[Fourth-Generation Space-Time Algorithm additional programs: Space-Time Engine, Micro-Wormhole Transport, Space-Time Traversal, Big Bug Bridge Construction.]
[Intermediate Matter Definition additional program: Energy Conservation Overturning.]
[Acquired new knowledge: Anti-Void, Celestial Computer Construction.]
Tony Stark sorted through the various functions of the upgraded Void Engine, unable to hold back a wide grin.
Just the new Angel Gene alone could further modify his body, making him a nearly unkillable existence in the world.
The algorithm had also become more advanced. Changing matter would become much easier—like how a program that once took over ten lines of code to run now only needed a few lines after an upgrade. That kind of efficiency boost wasn't just minor.
Micro-Wormhole Transport—once Tony Stark knew the coordinates, he could create a wormhole and instantly travel to that location.
This kind of space manipulation power made Tony Stark think of Doraemon's Anywhere Door.
"If I can fully understand it, I might just be able to replicate the Anywhere Door."
Tony Stark couldn't help but think excitedly, eager to dive into research.
After analyzing further, he found that Dark Energy Reading was an unknown energy form. So far, the function he could infer was that it could plant Dark Energy into anyone's mind, allowing for telepathic communication.
For now, Tony Stark wasn't keen on letting anyone into his brain, so he decided to hold off on this technology.
He continued researching other abilities.
What intrigued him the most was the Anti-Void technology and the Celestial Computer.
If the Void Engine was meant to modify everything that existed, the Anti-Void Engine was about creating something from nothing. It was a technology that defied causality and the law of conservation of matter.
Its potential far surpassed that of the Void Engine.
"This is kind of like the Phoenix Fragment that the Ancient One has... Reality-Altering Magic."
Tony Stark muttered to himself.
But to activate the Anti-Void technology, a Celestial Computer was required.
However, to create such a thing would consume the energy of an entire star.
That left Tony Stark dumbfounded—how could he possibly meet that kind of energy demand?
The Energy Spark simply wasn't enough.
"Come to think of it, I remember the Ancient One and Thanos mentioning that the Infinity Stones possess the universe's greatest power. They could definitely serve as an energy source... But where the hell do I find them?"
Tony Stark shook his head helplessly.
Then, he suddenly remembered the Cosmic Cube his father had once mentioned.
That thing was said to hold infinite energy.
Unfortunately, he had no idea where it had gone.
So Tony Stark had to let that idea go for now and focus on what he could currently do.
"Sir, Colonel Rhodes is here to see you."
Jarvis reported the matter.
"Alright, open the door and let him in."
As soon as Tony Stark spoke, the villa's front door opened.
Then, Rhodes—now transformed into Kamen Rider Psyga—flew right in, circling a few times in the living room before finally landing.
The whirlwind he stirred up made a mess of the entire room, sending objects flying everywhere.
Tony Stark's hair was a mess from the gusts.
"Hey, Rhodes! Can't you just walk?!"
Tony Stark immediately yelled in frustration.
He had to use the space-time algorithm to instantly restore the messy room back to normal.
"Sorry... And how did you do that?"
Rhodes, looking at the room he'd just trashed returning to its original state, couldn't help but feel amazed and curious.
"My Void Engine's power. Anyway, enough about that—let me analyze you quickly."
Tony Stark couldn't wait and immediately began using the Void Engine's power to analyze the Psyga armor.
[Analysis in progress: 10%, 20%, 30%...]
"Hey, did you know? That robot followed me back to base and actually demanded equal status with me, claiming it's thanks to him that I have my current standing. So he wants to be a colonel too. And the commander actually agreed."
"Now our Air Force has a robot colonel, and everyone still calls him the Patriot."
"If I didn't have this new gear, I probably wouldn't have much standing left."
Rhodes started complaining about his experiences in the Air Force.
Tony Stark couldn't help but laugh at that.
"What was your commander thinking, actually agreeing to that?"
"Well, a lot has been going on recently—bizarre creatures appearing out of nowhere, causing lots of casualties. Everyone's terrified and desperately wants stronger forces to protect themselves. And each branch of the military is scrambling to boost their own power. That's why my boss was so quick to agree."
"Oh, and I already told them the robot was your creation. So it won't be long before a bunch of people come knocking at your door."
Rhodes added casually.
"Hey! Do you have any idea how much trouble that's going to cause me?!"
Tony Stark yelled in frustration.
"What else could I say? How was I supposed to explain a random power suit suddenly becoming a robot?"
Rhodes shrugged, looking equally innocent.
Tony Stark could only hold his face in his hands, feeling a headache coming on.
He could already imagine it—by tomorrow, or maybe even in the middle of the night, he'd be bombarded with phone calls.
"Sir, I've been meaning to tell you... You've got several hundred missed calls."
Jarvis chimed in helpfully.
"Thanks. Just block them all."
Tony Stark rubbed his face in resignation.
All he wanted now was to focus on his research—he had no interest in dealing with politicians.
"Whatever. I need funding anyway. Besides, the Stark Group's finances have been looking rough lately, the stock price has been plummeting, and Pepper's been complaining. Maybe this could be an opportunity."
Tony Stark adjusted his mindset.
[Kamen Rider Psyga analysis complete. Photon Blood, Moon Metal, and other new material molecular structures, as well as application technologies, have been fully dissected.]
[Void Engine feedback incoming.]
"So, are you planning to replicate it? If so, I'd prefer if you could use a smartphone as the transformation device. I mean, who still carries around a flip phone in this day and age? It'd just look weird."
Rhodes pointed at his transformation phone and said.
"No problem."
Tony Stark nodded.
He had already obtained the relevant nanotechnology from the Psyga armor—replicating it was only a matter of time.
As for the transformation device, it could serve as a key-like function, which was even simpler.
"But I'm not planning to just create the armor. People might cause trouble, but robots won't."
Tony Stark suddenly added.
