American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Why can the new currency easily replace real-world currencies and become the currency of choice for Midgard, the Nine Realms, and even the entire universe? Besides the energy characteristics it represents, the items it is linked to and can purchase are also crucial.

After all, if you want to buy something you want from a person or organization, and you can't use force, all you can do is barter according to their requirements or buy it with their designated currency.

Spells, lifespan, technology, products, equipment, dimensional materials.

The things that can be bought with the new currency are too tempting. No one can restrain themselves. Especially lifespan. As a short-lived race in the Nine Realms, humans' desire for lifespan and resistance to death are engraved in their genes, just like all other living beings.

And those freaks who don't care about their lives, and those who don't need to worry about their lifespan and health for the time being, can also use the new currency to buy items that suit their wishes.

Compared to what real-world currencies can buy, the new currency is almost beyond common sense. A single new currency on the black market is enough to fetch a sky-high price at auction. But it is basically available in name only.

Because the source of the new currency, besides Hephaestus, is only S.H.I.E.L.D., the countries behind the Council, and the major giant enterprises recognized by them that have the qualifications.

Only recently has the new currency begun to circulate in small quantities, and the number of new currencies on the black market has gradually increased, from rare to uncommon, and from uncommon to relatively common. Although the quantity in circulation is still scarce.

……

Stark Tower.

Avengers Base.

"What do you mean the future might require surgery on this planet?" Nick Fury and the others looked at Ina Sandra, who had returned with Pepper Potts, with surprise, seemingly shocked by some information she had mentioned.

They can understand surgery on humans and animals, but surgery on a planet? Are they serious?

Even human surgery has a probability of success and failure. Surgery on a planet sounds like demolition! Although humans can now be considered to have entered the interstellar era, the home planet still needs to be protected, right? Especially since this planet is a member of the Nine Realms. If something goes wrong, where should they move to?

"Why do you want to operate on the planet? Does that mean something is wrong with our planet?" Stark and Dr. Banner focused on another point. In their opinion, surgery is only performed when there is a problem. Luke wants to operate on this planet. Has he discovered some hidden disaster that they haven't discovered yet?

"Isn't this action a bit too big? I think the Council might have some objections. Although I don't think Luke necessarily cares about their objections," Captain Steve considered another aspect.

"According to Luke, this should be a good thing for the life residing on this planet. And as the main residents of this planet, humans will benefit even more," Ina said, already prepared to deal with and answer these questions. She knew that the people in front of her were the backbone of protecting this planet. It might be a little troublesome to do some major engineering without informing them.

Hephaestus doesn't care about these small troubles, but interpersonal relationships still need to be maintained. Besides, this isn't doing anything bad. Luke has never intended to hide anything from the beginning to the end.

"What does he want to do? Transform this planet into a mechanical planet?" Stark smiled and joked.

Then Stark saw the smile on Ina's face, and he couldn't help but panic. If this absurd thing happened to someone else, Stark and the others definitely wouldn't believe it at all. Even he can't do it for the time being.

But if the person operating this thing is Luke, then the trust level is really going to explode. After all, even Stark and Banner, who can access Luke's research, can't keep up with Luke's speed of technological updates. Or rather, they can't understand Luke's recent research.

Is he really going to transform this planet into a mechanical planet and transform humans into mechanical life?

Stark and the others know that Luke has had mechanical meme technology that can convert flesh and blood life into mechanical creatures for a long time. And Luke's technology is changing rapidly, updating and iterating extremely quickly in the data dimension. Who knows what stage he has updated this technology to now.

Although mechanical life is pretty good, Stark doesn't want to become a robot himself. He currently recognizes and likes his identity and feelings as a human being very much.

They had discussed similar issues before, but converting a portion of humans into other types of life without converting all of them would have a huge impact on the foundation and stability of the human race.

"This is a little too absurd." Although he knew that if Luke made up his mind, even if all of them opposed it, it might be useless, Dr. Banner still shook his head, unwilling to accept this acceptance.

But Nick's expression was still normal, or rather, he rarely showed micro-expressions to allow people to speculate on his psychology except in front of Luke and others and at unnecessary moments. He is too deeply tied to Luke and knows him very well, knowing that he won't really do anything too excessive to this planet and humans.

After all, there are all kinds of planets and civilizations in the starry sky, and the multiverse can also find humans and Earth. With his understanding of Luke, the other party doesn't need to experiment with some dangerous technologies in his own home.

"Are you here to give us a heads-up and let us have a mental preparation first?" Nick asked Ina softly.

"Yes, it's difficult to hide this kind of action from you. It wouldn't be good to notify you and ask you to cooperate when the plan is really implemented," Ina replied implicitly.

"What about Stephen Strange? Do those mages know?" Nick thought of another group of people.

Although Midgard's presence is still extremely strong in the eyes of some dimensional demon gods, neither Dormammu nor Mephisto, etc., are in the mood to break through the barrier and cause trouble on this planet and devour this world.

What a joke!

This can also be regarded as their base camp! Who would blow up their core territory for fun?

Even if there are other demon gods who want to invade Midgard one day, they probably haven't even thought of a way to break through the layers of enchantments reinforced by the mages, and they will have to face the righteous gang fights from those demon gods on the energy bank's shareholder seats.

Has the sense of security greatly increased?

This also allows Stephen Strange, the current Sorcerer Supreme, to have plenty of time to travel outside without worrying too much about the safety of Midgard. Because he knows that if something really happens to Midgard, and even Luke can't intervene, then his best outcome is to be buried with the planet.

"Of course, they, like you, will be among the first to know. Before I came, the Ancient One had already gone to discuss it with Doctor Stephen," Ina Sandra replied.

"Then let's listen to what Luke's 'surgery' is, what big plan it is," Stark spread his hands helplessly.

"This is related to a universe recently discovered by the Energy Bank. Currently, their attention is mostly on that universe. I heard that Loki has dispatched at least three Conqueror legions to that universe," Ina said.

"Is that new universe very powerful?" Hearing Ina's words, Stark and the others looked at her in surprise. They are not completely unaware of what the Energy Bank is doing. Although they are not very accepting of invading other worlds and conquering other worlds, they also understand that sometimes once you take the first step, many things are no longer controllable.

After all, their world is changing rapidly now, and even large-scale internal wars have completely disappeared. This is inseparable from Luke and the Energy Bank. The officials are busy trying to get on board, the giants are busy making money, and the development of interstellar and the exchange of civilizations have allowed many enterprises to emerge like mushrooms after the rain and develop rapidly.

The large number of jobs and money also make people in various countries busy, and they have no time to take care of anything other than making money. Even Stark and the others have some regrets about the changes in the past few decades.

Even Captain, who is as moral as Captain, can only default to this situation and not add to the chaos. All he can do is try not to pay attention to these news and information, and not delve into the inside story, etc. But even so, he knows that a certain violent organization managed by Loki, cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D., and under the Energy Bank, has conquered many opponents and other worlds under the leadership of Thor's sister, Hela.

But it sounds like the newly discovered world is not going smoothly?

"It depends on how you define it. That world is indeed a bit troublesome, but that's for later," Ina replied vaguely, and turned the topic back: "But Luke did get some ideas and inspiration from that universe.

Transforming the planet is one of his inspirations this time. Because he discovered and learned about an incredible planet in that universe. It is alive."

"Wait a minute, a living planet? I remember someone said something similar to me." Stark raised his eyebrows. He seemed to remember hearing something similar from someone.

"Peter Quill, the famous and infamous Star-Lord in the galaxy. I have heard his name in the universe. He formed a team called the Guardians of the Galaxy." Nick quickly thought of a troublesome character that made many civilized universes headache and numb.

"That's him! I've seen him in the data dimension. He told me that he saw a living planet." Stark pointed at Nick, confirming his words. "I thought he was making up a story at the time."

"Ego, Hephaestus's records have records of it, it is a long-lived living planet. But what he told me should not be the same species. The planet with life will on the other side is more like an unhatched egg. When it hatches out of the egg, their name for it is Titan," Ina thought about the information she scanned in Luke's laboratory.

"If you are interested in this information, you can search and query it yourself in the data dimension. You, especially Tony and Bruce, your permissions should be able to read this kind of confidential information."

Ina specifically pointed out Stark and Dr. Banner. These two people used their technology and knowledge to increase a lot of permissions in the data dimension. It can be said that there is very little information that they are not authorized to read. But they will not just read that information casually. After all, in the data dimension, reading knowledge and information costs money. They are not completely financially free yet, allowing them to browse the vast information regardless of expenses.

"Luke wants to transform such a planet. Of course, unlike the other party's final formation into a Titan, Luke's planned plan is to make Midgard a life planet with powerful energy, similar to Asgard and other worlds. In simple terms, it is to give a planet a soul, and this soul will carry some kind of powerful energy."

"What are the benefits? I know Luke must have his own intentions for doing this, but I need to know more so that I can cooperate with him to impress or fool those people on the Council," Nick asked cautiously.

"You don't need to waste your breath talking to them too much. You only need to tell them that after the transformation is successfully completed, if they can gain the recognition of that energy, they can live long enough, even tens of thousands of years without any problems." Ina directly gave an answer that Nick couldn't refuse. This answer is enough for Nick, the people on the Council, and the heads of other forces and organizations.

This is an answer they cannot refuse, and it is also a fatal blow, enough to make them put down all disputes and cooperate. Just like Ina said, only this condition is enough for those people.

"That energy is also a better energy source for the mages, more in line with their spells. In Luke's words, it is more gentle, more stable, and has fewer hidden dangers than psionic power." Ina said the second point. Nick and the others guessed that this answer was 100% prepared for the mages.

"If you can thoroughly study that energy, then your various Mark armors will no longer need to order high-dimensional energy packages from Hephaestus. You can collect and use those forces yourself. Hephaestus will not impose any restrictions on this energy as long as you do not over-extract it." Ina said this while looking at Tony Stark. Her words undoubtedly made Tony excited.

"As for the others, you can learn about them yourself. But if used well, this energy can play a huge role in promoting the entire human civilization. You have to make corresponding preparations."
