Chapter 202 Intertwined Fates: Challenges of Parallel Universes

In Tony Stark's luxurious villa, Pepper Potts' face was full of confusion and displeasure. She stared at Tony sternly, obviously dissatisfied with the two female guests who suddenly appeared in her home. Although one of the women did not meet Tony's usual taste and the other was just a young girl, Pepper still demanded a reasonable explanation.

Tony stood in front of Pepper, his expression seemed a little helpless, but at the same time with a hint of tenderness. He reached out and gently grasped Pepper's hand, trying to comfort her in his own way.

"Pepper, dear, I know this may seem a little strange, but I assure you that the arrival of these two ladies is definitely not what you think." Tony's voice was full of sincerity and patience.

Pepper's expression remained serious, but she didn't pull her hand away, obviously willing to listen to Tony's explanation.

Tony took a deep breath and began to introduce: "This is Carol Danvers, a very outstanding superhero. She was unfortunately injured while carrying out an important mission, and I just helped her recover out of kindness." Tony pointed to Carol who was sitting on the sofa, looking a little restrained.

Carol nodded slightly and gave Pepper a polite smile, as if to confirm Tony's words.

Tony continued to explain: "As for the other young girl, her name is Rui Rui Williams, she is a very promising young scientist and inventor. I met her at a technology conference, and she was very interested in some of my work, so I invited her to come here to exchange ideas and learn."

Rarity stood aside, looking excited but also a little nervous. She looked at Tony, who was winking at her, and timidly said to Pepper, "Yes, Ms. Potts. Mr. Stark is very interested in my science project, and he suggested that I come here to learn some advanced technology."

As Pepper listened to Tony's explanation and Rarity's words, her expression gradually softened. She looked at Tony with a glimmer of understanding and trust in her eyes.

"Okay, Tony, I believe you. But next time something like this happens, I hope you can tell me in advance." Although Pepper's tone was still serious, she no longer had the anger she had before.

Tony breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face. "Of course, Pepper. I promise to let you know next time."

Tony turned to Carol and Rarity and gave them an encouraging look, telling them to relax. Then he turned to Pepper and said, "I'm really glad they're here. I believe that their presence will not only help me, but will be a huge asset to the entire Stark Industries."

Pepper nodded. There was no more displeasure on her face. Instead, she showed understanding and support for Tony. She turned to Carol and Rarity and smiled, "Well, welcome to Stark Villa. I hope your arrival can bring us new inspiration and progress."

Carol and Rarity both smiled gratefully, knowing that they had Pepper's acceptance and support.

The scene gradually became harmonious, and Tony and Pepper sat down with Carol and Rarity.

However, as soon as Tony Stark sat down, Pepper Potts asked nervously, her eyes full of worry and uneasiness: "Tony, is there anything else you are hiding from me? You know I don't like being kept in the dark."

Tony looked into Pepper's eyes, knowing that her worry and uneasiness were not unreasonable. He took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Pepper, I... need to tell you something." Tony's voice was a little heavy, and his eyes flashed with seriousness and determination.

Pepper's expression became even more tense, and she clenched her hands, waiting for Tony's next words.

Tony continued, "I'm going to help Carol and Rarity go to their parallel universe. There's a huge crisis there. Baron Mordo and Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, are trying to rule that world."

"Parallel Universe!!!"

Pepper showed a shocked expression on his face: "You want to go to a parallel universe? Tony, do you know the dangers there?" Although the term parallel universe is very "illusory", when Tony said this word, there is no need to doubt it. The Lord of Hell is known to be a difficult existence to deal with.

Tony nodded, his expression becoming more determined: "I know, Pepper. But I can't just stand by and watch. Carol and Rarity need my help, and we can't let evil forces like that succeed."

Pepper's eyes were full of worry, but at the same time there was a hint of admiration: "Tony, you are always like this, never backing down in the face of danger. But you have to keep yourself safe, too. I don't want to lose you."

Tony smiled and replied, "A doctor and I plan to use the multi-dimensional teleportation technology we have developed. This technology can ensure that we can enter and leave parallel universes safely. I will not take unnecessary risks."

Multi-dimensional teleportation technology.

This term plus technology.

Pepper's heart was filled with worry and...was she capable of doing this now?

Carol and Ruirui stood up, their faces full of gratitude and trust. Carol said: "Mr. Stark, with you here, we will definitely be able to complete this task."

Rarity nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mr. Stark. With your help, we will be able to defeat those evil guys."

Pepper looked at Tony, her expression gradually filled with support: "Tony, I believe in you. You can always make the right choice. But please be careful."

Tony's face lit up with a gentle smile, "Thank you, Pepper. I will. But I have a lot of things to prepare before I leave. I'll make sure everything is arranged."

Pepper nodded gently. Although she was still worried, her trust in Tony was unquestionable. She knew that no matter what kind of challenge he faced, Tony would always find a way to solve the problem.

Tony stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Well, we have a lot of work to do. Let's start preparing for our new mission."

Everyone nodded and stood up together, ready to face the upcoming challenge.

Inside the Umbrella Corporation, Zhan Ji Ling Ma and Kreutz stood in a high-tech laboratory. Their eyes were focused on a huge nutrient tank, in which lay Kreutz's research results - "Power of the Gods".

Kreutz turned to Zhan Ji Ling Ma, his eyes flashing with crazy excitement: "Zhan Ji, this time I plan to bring the 'Power of the Gods' with Tony Stark to the parallel universe. This will be a great opportunity to test its true combat effectiveness."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma nodded slightly, his expression full of calmness and calculation: "Indeed, this is a good opportunity. But we must ensure the stability of 'Power of the Gods'. We cannot let any unknown factors affect this mission."

Kreutz approached the nutrient chamber, his fingers gently sliding across the glass panel, as if communicating with the creature he had created: "Don't worry, I have tested and adjusted it countless times. It not only has great strength and endurance, but also has a self-repairing ability that I specially designed. On any battlefield, the 'Power of the Gods' will be an invincible opponent."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma quietly observed the creatures in the nutrient chamber. His voice was low: "I hope so. We can't make a mistake in front of Tony Stark. He is a key ally, but also a variable that cannot be ignored."

Kreutz turned his head, a hint of ambition flashing in his eyes: "I understand. 'Power of the Gods' will prove our strength and the research results of Umbrella Corporation. This mission is not only a test, but also an opportunity to demonstrate our technology and strength."

The two stood in the laboratory, surrounded by various high-tech equipment and instruments. Their conversation was full of ambition and plans for the future. In their eyes, the "Power of the Gods" was not just a biological experiment, but also the key to their gradual demonstration of the strength of the Umbrella Corporation to the world.

Zhan Ji Lingma's voice sounded firm and serious. He continued to tell Kreutz about Nathan Hawke's intentions: "Boss's meaning is very clear. He will not directly interfere in this operation, but he has not restricted our actions. If we can win this parallel universe trip, the resources and opportunities there will be very beneficial to Hawke Group."

Kreutz's eyes flashed with excitement. He knew what this meant: "This is a huge opportunity. The resources and technologies in the parallel universe may be far beyond our current understanding. If we can master them, Hawke Group's scientific research capabilities will take a qualitative leap forward."

Zhan Ji Lingma walked to the center of the laboratory, his eyes staring deeply at the nutrition chamber of "Power of the Gods": "We cannot underestimate the risks of this mission. The environment and opponents in the parallel universe may be completely beyond our expectations. "Power of the Gods" needs to demonstrate its strength under extreme conditions."

Kreutz nodded in agreement: "I understand. I will ensure that the 'Power of the Gods' remains in optimal condition under any circumstances. I will not let any accidents affect the success of this operation."

Just then, with a click, the door opened.

The two looked over.

The voice of the electric man suddenly sounded, breaking the originally calm atmosphere. His figure appeared in the sight of Zhan Ji Ling Ma and Kreutz, with a firm and unquestionable determination.

"I'll go too." Electric Man's voice was calm but full of determination, and his eyes flashed with an unstoppable will.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma and Kreutz looked at each other. They could both feel the weight of Electric Man's words. Zhan Ji Ling Ma's brows slightly frowned, and his voice was low and serious: "Are you sure?"

The electric man nodded, and a weak electric current surrounded his body, showing his strength. "There is a guy I must defeat." His eyes seemed to travel through time and space, looking towards the unknown world.
