Back at Stark Tower, Tony slumped on the sofa, his fingers trembling slightly.
As a top scientist, he knew all too well what this meant.
Breaking through the atmosphere and withstanding the high temperatures of re-entry are areas that human technology has not yet reached.
"Are you really Superman?" Tony's voice was dry.
Xiao Han's eyes became deep: "I think so, you can call me Superman."
"Like in the comics? Kryptonians? Powers given by the yellow sun?" Tony subconsciously began to analyze.
Xiao Han smiled slightly: "Almost. But my story is much more complicated."
Tony suddenly grasped the point: "Wait, why did you say the transaction was for shares of Stark Industries? With your ability, you can definitely..."
"Because I don't want to rule the world, Tony." Xiao Han interrupted him.
"I need a legal identity and a platform to operate. And you are the most suitable person."
"15% of the shares means you never have to worry about being kidnapped, assassinated, or threatened in any way."
Tony was silent for a long time. Finally, he raised his head, and there was no longer arrogance in his eyes, but a complicated look.
"make a deal."
For the next half hour, Tony asked questions like a hungry student.
Xiao Han patiently answered some of the questions and cleverly avoided others.
"So you can hear the sounds of the entire earth? See things behind the walls?" Tony suddenly thought of something and his face became strange.
"Then you are..."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in other people's privacy." Xiao Han said helplessly.
Tony walked to the bar, poured himself a drink, and drank it all in one gulp. The alcohol calmed him down a little.
"15% of the shares..." he muttered to himself, "The board will go crazy."
"You can say I'm a representative of an offshore fund," Xiao Han suggested, "or simply say this is your personal decision."
Tony suddenly flashed his signature sly smile. "How about this? First, you help me solve a small problem to prove your sincerity?"
Xiao Han had anticipated this, but he wasn't going to do it himself: "The reactor in your chest is poisoning you."
Tony subconsciously touched the Ark reactor on his chest: "Yes. But I tried the entire periodic table."
"The expo model your father left behind," Xiao Han said softly, "holds the answer."
Tony looked up suddenly, with shock in his eyes: "How do you know..."
"Trust me, go check the model." Xiao Han stood up. "I'll come back at this time tomorrow. We'll discuss the shares in detail then."
Before Tony could respond, Xiao Han's figure had disappeared into the night sky, leaving only the gently swaying curtains.
Tony stood there for a long time, then suddenly said to the empty room, "Jarvis, retrieve all the information about the 1974 Stark Expo."
"It's ready, sir," the AI responded. "Shall I contact Miss Pepper now?"
Tony shook his head, revealing an excited expression he hadn't seen in a long time. "No, get the car ready for me first. I need to go to the warehouse."
Just as Tony drove to the warehouse, the alarm was sounded at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
Nick Fury stared at the figure breaking through the atmosphere in the satellite footage, a dangerous light flashing in his one eye.
"Find him," Fury said to Black Widow on the other side of the screen. "Before anyone else does."
And in a dark conference room, Alexander Pierce was watching the same scene.
"Project Winter Soldier is temporarily suspended," he ordered into the phone. "We need to reassess this guy's threat level."
In the night sky, Xiao Han was suspended above the clouds, his super hearing capturing every conversation related to him on Earth.
He knew he had caused a stir, but that was exactly what he wanted.
"The game begins." He said softly, and his figure merged into the dazzling starry sky.
Flying further away, towards the sun.
Chapter 6 Son of the Sun
Xiao Han broke through the Earth's atmosphere, and his black combat uniform fluttered silently in the vacuum.
He looked back at the blue planet that was gradually moving away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Stark Industries' satellite..."
A flickering light appeared in his field of vision. Xiao Han adjusted his posture and burst out at super speed in an instant, leaving a faint light in the dark space.
A few seconds later, he was hovering next to a silver-gray satellite.
The satellite's surface is printed with the eye-catching STARKINDUSTRIES logo, and its solar panels sparkle in the starlight.
Xiao Han grinned, raised two fingers towards the satellite surveillance camera and made a V-sign.
"Leave it as a souvenir."
Xiao Han turned around and looked at the huge fireball in the center of the solar system.
"Now, let's go see the real sun."
His body leaned forward slightly, and the bio-force field formed a layer of golden halo on his body surface.
The next moment, Xiao Han turned into a stream of light and flew towards the sun at an astonishing speed.
As the distance shortens, the sun gradually changes from a small point of light in the field of vision to a blazing fireball that occupies the entire field of vision.
Even with Xiao Han's current body of steel, he began to feel the rapid rise in temperature.
"System, analyze my current energy absorption efficiency."
[Ding! Detected that the host is absorbing yellow solar radiation, energy reserves are increasing... Current efficiency: 137%]
Xiao Han raised his brows.
When he was on Earth, his energy absorption efficiency was only 100% at most, but now it has exceeded the upper limit.
It seems that close contact with the sun can indeed bring about a qualitative leap.
When he was still one million kilometers away from the surface of the sun, Xiao Han stopped.
Even he felt the immense heat at that moment, his skin turning red like metal being heated on a stove.
"Not close enough." Xiao Han gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
500,000 kilometers... 300,000 kilometers... 100,000 kilometers...
The temperature has risen to unimaginable levels.
Xiao Han's skin began to show a strange golden luster, as if he was adapting to this extreme environment.
[Energy absorption efficiency exceeds critical value: 500%...700%...1000%...]
The system's prompt sound kept ringing in Xiao Han's mind, but he could no longer pay attention to it.
All attention is focused on resisting the most violent energy source in the universe.
When he was only 10,000 kilometers away from the surface of the sun, Xiao Han finally stopped.
This distance is an absolute death zone for human technology, but for him, it is the best breeding ground for evolution.
"It's here." Xiao Han opened his arms and let the sun's plasma storm wash over his whole body.
Every cell in his body was cheering and greedily absorbing this almost unlimited energy.
[Energy Reserve: 300%...500%...1000%...]
The numbers continued to soar, and Xiao Han felt an unprecedented power surging in his body.
His eyes turned pure gold, the temperature of his heat vision skyrocketed, and the range of his bio-field expanded by more than tenfold.
"That's not enough, I want to go in." Xiao Han made a crazy decision.
He took a deep breath, even though there was no air in space.
Then, like a diver, it dived into the surface of the sun.
In an instant, the world became pure light and heat.
The environment inside the sun is beyond human imagination. The temperature is as high as 1500 million degrees Celsius and the pressure is 2500 billion times that of the earth's surface.
Here, hydrogen nuclei fuse into helium under extreme conditions, releasing immeasurable amounts of energy.
Xiao Han felt like he had fallen into a golden ocean, surrounded by boiling plasma.
Tiny cracks began to appear on his skin, but they were instantly repaired by the new energy.
[Warning! The host's body is undergoing fundamental reorganization]
[Man of Steel is evolving...1%...5%...15%...]
It's so comfortable, so comfortable that it's hard to describe! It's like being in a hot spring.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Han was completely immersed in the process of evolution.
His cell structure is reorganizing, the atomic arrangement is optimizing, and the energy channels are expanding.
[Iron Man Evolution Completion: 100%]
[New ability unlocked: Material Reorganization (Basic)]
the other side
The lights in the Stark Industries laboratory have been on for 30 hours.
Tony Stark stood in front of the workbench, the dark circles under his eyes showing that he hadn't rested for a long time.
Three holographic projectors operated simultaneously, displaying two completely different armor designs.
"Adjust the curvature of the chestplate another half a degree," Tony said to the air, running his finger across the hologram.
"Remove all facial obstructions. I want his expression to be clearly seen."
The robotic arm immediately executed the command, adjusting the details of the pure black armor suspended in the center.
There was no reflection on the surface of the armor, as if it could absorb all the light around it. Only a simple golden S-shaped emblem on the chest broke the pure darkness.
"Sir, you've been working for over 30 hours straight," Jarvis reminded him. "This is Miss Potts's 12th warning."
Tony took a sip of his espresso. "Tell her to wait until I finish this artwork."
He ran his hand over the surface of the armor. "What were the results of the alloy replacement layer test?"
"Compatibility with Mr. Xiao's biofield is 99.2%," Jarvis replied.
"But its defense is only 15% of that of the Mark 3."
Tony grinned. "That's enough. Even the heat can't kill that guy anyway. This armor is purely for appearance."
He took two steps back to admire his work. “The color black is worthy of Superman’s temperament. It is powerful, mysterious, and unstoppable.”
"Sir, according to analysis, Mr. Xiao's defenses don't seem to require armor. We build armor, but he may not need it."
"Jarvis, you don't understand. This is a man's happiness." Tony glanced at the armor and murmured.
"He gave us a welcome gift, so we have to give him a little surprise."
Deep in the Sun
When the system prompt sound finally sounded, Xiao Han opened his eyes.
He was surprised to find that he could see things normally inside the sun.
The violent plasmas now looked like gentle streams in his eyes, and he could clearly distinguish the trajectory of each energy flow.
“Is this the sun’s perspective?”
Xiao Han stretched out his hand and gently touched a vortex of energy.
What shocked him was that the high-temperature plasma actually changed its flow direction according to his will.
[Matter Reorganization Ability allows the host to influence the state of matter at the atomic level. Current scope of application: non-living matter. Volume limit: 100 cubic meters.]
Xiao Han smiled.
This ability is simply incredible. Although there are still limitations now, in time, he may even be able to create things out of thin air.
