As the smoke dispersed, a small, delicate-looking boy appeared where it had been. He wore clothes far too big for his tiny body.
"This time he turned into a kid?"
On the other side, Otto had once again transformed into a woman. Looking at her soft, feminine body, she let out a sigh of relief—knowing the incident was over for now.
"Abnormal... abnormal... unable to compute... unable to comprehend..."
FAIZ stared at the now-female Otto, clearly entering a crash state. Its programming logic simply couldn't understand how a human could change their own gender.
"Come on, let's head to the lab and… optimize your system."
Lady Otto shook her head helplessly and left with FAIZ, departing from this troublesome place.
Meanwhile, little Tony was surrounded by a group of people.
"I was this handsome as a kid?"
Stark beamed with amusement.
"Maria, come quick!"
Howard was already taking pictures with his phone, sending them to his wife.
"You didn't look this annoying when you were little," Killian joked, reaching out to poke little Tony's cheek.
"Enough, you jerks! Watch out or I'll lose it!" little Tony threatened in his babyish voice.
"Go ahead, let me see you lose it," Killian laughed even harder, giving Tony's forehead a flick, which left a red mark.
"Ugh…"
Tony's eyes started to water.
Everyone froze. No way…
"Uwaaahhh!!"
Tony plopped down and burst into loud, dramatic sobs.
"Hey, hey! I was just joking!"
Killian panicked.
"Killian, you bullied a child," Howard said, not missing a beat as he continued taking photos.
"Stop filming and comfort him! You're his dad!"
Killian flailed in frustration, trying to soothe little Tony.
"I don't know how. Maria always handled this stuff when he was little."
"Stark!"
"I don't either! Pepper always calmed him down, and Morgan's never this difficult."
"Goddamn it, you two are useless! Call them here—both of them! Dammit, Tony, where's all that pride of yours now?"
Killian felt like his ears were about to explode.
Doctor Zola walked over and began scanning little Tony's body.
"Good news: this time the energy was minimal. He'll recover in a day at most.
Bad news: unlike last time, this energy sealed Tony's memories. He's basically a real little kid now."
"F***, I can't take even one more minute of this. Someone else take over!"
Killian shouted, overwhelmed.
Everyone backed off, unwilling to get involved.
Eventually, Maria and Pepper arrived and took little Tony away in their arms.
"Finally, peace. I swear, I'm never having kids," Killian muttered, realizing that this half hour had been more exhausting than a full day of experiments.
The next day, Tony was back.
Killian cautiously approached and asked, "Tony, do you remember what happened yesterday?"
"What happened? Keno brought a bunch of lanterns, and I teased him about it, so he knocked me out. Such a petty guy. Still, that nap was fantastic," Tony said naturally.
He didn't mention that, for some reason, he'd woken up in Pepper's arms.
"Good, that's a relief," Killian sighed with visible relief.
"Weird guy," Tony muttered, confused by Killian's obvious relief.
All the countries of the world had now merged into the Earth Federation.
However, during the transitional phase, numerous disturbances arose across different regions. But these were swiftly quelled by mutant units and military forces. Most of the troublemakers were stubborn individuals unwilling to give up their old positions of power and wealth.
Once the unrest was dealt with, Earth officially entered the interstellar age.
The primary objective became terraforming the Moon and Mars in preparation for colonization.
The Earth Federation began pooling resources, focusing entirely on building a space fleet. Once a complete fleet was assembled, they planned to launch into deep space.
Simultaneously, the Nine Realms Interconnection Project was officially initiated.
Banner and the others had been studying intensely during this period and were making excellent progress.
The teleportation gate was complete.
Aside from being immobile, it had no real drawbacks. As for energy? With a solar sphere, there was no shortage.
Earth lacked many things—but energy was no longer one of them.
Keno issued commands to the other realms, intending to establish teleportation gates in each of them to promote full interconnectivity among the Nine Realms.
Soon, he received responses—two mocked him, three agreed, and one left him on "read."
(Helheim belonged to Hela. At this time, the Dark Elves were pretending to be dead.)
Among the Nine Realms, some harbored malicious intentions. Learning that Asgard had a new king—one who was still a mortal with a short lifespan—some saw an opportunity to exploit.
They were very wrong.
That very day, the Bifrost opened in seven beams of rainbow light, descending upon every realm except Earth and Asgard:
Jotunheim: Home of the Frost Giants.
Svartalfheim: Home of the Dark Elves.
Muspelheim: Home of the Fire Giants.
Each suffered a brutal purge—by Asgard's army, Earth's magic-tech weaponized forces, and even demon legions.
It was a bloody warning to all the realms.
This massacre lasted for seven straight days.
The result: Frost Giants, Dark Elves, and Fire Giants were all but exterminated—only a few stragglers scattered in other realms survived. They were now on the brink of extinction.
Meanwhile, construction of the Nine Realms teleportation network proceeded smoothly.
After witnessing this campaign, the remaining realms understood the ruthlessness of the new King of Asgard. Even Odin had never waged such a large-scale slaughter. He conquered—he didn't wipe out.
The rest of the realms quickly prepared lavish gifts and rushed to Asgard to pay their respects.
There, they met the legendary new God King—a young, gentle-looking man who seemed utterly incompatible with the genocide he had orchestrated.
Keno didn't try to intimidate them. Instead, he remained courteous throughout the reception, accepting toasts with a warm smile.
He even patiently explained the benefits of inter-realm connectivity, exciting everyone present. Many could barely contain their enthusiasm.
It was clearly a win-win situation for all involved—only a fool would oppose it.
From there, everything progressed smoothly.
Back on Earth, the new energy system officially launched. New materials and technologies began to emerge like mushrooms after a rainstorm, with fresh developments happening daily.
Everything was progressing in an orderly and unstoppable fashion.
Earth – Night
"Honey, hurry up! It's about to start!" White Queen urged Logan, who was driving.
"I can't make the cars move faster!" Logan replied helplessly, staring at the gridlocked traffic ahead.
They weren't the only ones racing toward the same destination.
All over the streets, crowds and vehicles surged forward, drawn to a place of immense attraction.
"We're going to miss the best seats! Tonight isn't just the Illusion Choir—it's also the Succubus Dance Troupe, and both troop leaders are performing!"
White Queen clasped her hands to her chest, visibly thrilled.
Whether due to marriage or regaining her youth, she had let go of her former scheming ways—and had even become a fangirl.
Quote of the Chapter:"Mercy is a virtue of the strong, but when survival is at stake, even gods may choose annihilation."
