After Ivan sent out his energy clones, he returned to Skull Island and researched for some time. He planned to release the energy clones one last time. Once the clones were destroyed, this farce would end.
He went to a private underground laboratory on Skull Island alone. He looked at a huge glass dish over one meter high containing a silver liquid-like substance and smiled as he softly said, "Armor!"
The silver liquid moved as if it had life, flew out of the glass tank, and fell on Ivan's head, wrapping him in it and constantly changing.
Soon, an Iron Man-like figure appeared. They might have mistakenly referred to it as Iron Man if anyone was there. However, this armor was very different from Iron Man's suit. The head looked like a dragon's head with a roaring mouth.
Two pointed cones were extended backward on the shoulders, and the spine had a row of bone spurs of different lengths, forming an arch that extended to the waist. The elbows and knees also had bone spur protection, making it clear this armor was built for combat, resembling a ferocious beast.
The armor was also covered with dense lines, which appeared extremely mysterious. Anyone with some knowledge would recognize this as a set of nano-biological battle armor when they saw the liquid form before the armor. If magnified thousands of times, you would find that the armor was composed of tiny robots.
These robots resembled spiders, with crystals inlaid on their backs and countless nano-robots arranged regularly. The crystals behind them formed mysterious runes, continuously combining to create a large and small rune magic circle.
Ivan made this armor by re-melting the wreckage of the Destroyer. He used magic methods to refine it. The runes were optimized with the help of Red Queen.
This armor was superior to the Destroyer, greatly enhancing Ivan's strength. If he had this armor when fighting Thanos and Darkseid, he could have defeated them without summoning the phantom of his future self.
Ivan gently stroked the armor on his body, feeling the cold metal touch, and felt a little proud. He began to look forward to meeting Darkseid and Thanos again, hoping for another good fight.
While Ivan was happy, an accident suddenly interrupted his good mood. A strong, almost palpable malice suddenly appeared and fell on Ivan. He was caught off guard, and his body shook involuntarily, nearly falling. The malice came in waves, making Ivan feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, the leaders of various countries on Earth were making video calls to criticize Ivan, and the leaders of each country stood up to make the final judgment.
"Guilty!" "Guilty!" "Guilty!"...
Every time a sentence of agreement was uttered, the malice on Ivan increased.
"Damn, what's going on? Such strong malice. Did I do something outrageous?"
When he was about to investigate, Red Queen suddenly appeared, telling him about a communication request. Ivan would not have paid attention if it were someone else, but the caller was Eli, and it was an emergency call. Ivan connected immediately; his good daughter was the most important thing.
Soon, Eli's voice came from the other side, "Dad, it's not good. All the world leaders have judged you simultaneously and announced you are evil. You're in trouble. Although Gaia is blocking it, for now, I'm temporarily blocking Alaya. If this continues, I'm afraid Alaya and Gaia will eventually fight."
Ivan's face showed surprise.
"So that's what happened. No wonder there's such strong malice directed at me. But it's strange; they knew how to deal with me this way. Even if all the country's leaders speak on behalf of their people, they need a medium to pass it on to Alaya. What is it? This is a genius idea. I want to meet the person who came up with this idea and have a good chat."
Ivan didn't know that among the many national leaders on the video call, the figure of Mage Gu Yi was faintly visible in a mirror behind one of them. Mage Gu Yi held a ball of light and used magic to channel the consciousness of many national leaders to Alaya.
Eli was very dissatisfied with Ivan's attitude and said, "Dad, what time do you think it is now? You still have time to praise the enemy. Hurry up and find a way. I'm exhausted from helping Gaia suppress Alaya. I am using up too much energy every moment. I can't keep this up."
Ivan waved his hand indifferently.
"Okay, things are not as serious as you think. It is very easy to resolve this crisis. Those national leaders tried me on behalf of their countries, but this is a form of deception. The people of Earth don't even know they are being represented. Alaya is reacting because he lacks his thoughts and consciousness and cannot judge. Once I intervene and expose the real situation, Alaya will understand that it's not the consciousness of all humans driving him but a few selfish national leaders. He will stop."
Ivan's indifferent attitude made Eli even more furious.
"Then do it quickly! Are you enjoying watching me suffer?"
"Well, I won't do it right away. I planned needed to leave Earth for a while. I could make a scene to make others think I was kicked off Earth, which can reduce others' jealousy."
Eli's eyes lit up when she heard this. "It's a good idea, but isn't it a bit embarrassing for you to be driven away like this? Won't people laugh at you?"
"Reputation isn't worth much. If I lose it, I lose it. If someone dares to laugh at me, I can teach them a lesson if I like them or kill them if I don't."
Eli almost choked on her saliva. Her father was always so surprising, and his unreliable nature made people laugh and cry. "Your reputation is yours, do whatever you want."
"Okay, it's decided. I'll leave right away. Tell Chris and the others for me."
Ivan cut off the call with Eli, immediately packed some items into a backpack with a traceless extension spell, and went to another room to open a wormhole. Suddenly, he thought of something, his face showing a gloomy smile. Following the same malicious exploration, his spiritual power spread, and he felt the scene change. His spirit entered a unique space of consciousness where the consciousness projections of various country leaders also appeared. They all looked around in shock at the unique space filled with countless light spots, each representing a thought they could feel when touching them.
"Bless my son to be safe," "Let me win a million-dollar jackpot," "I want to live," "Let my daughter recover," ...
Numerous thoughts like these flashed in their minds. Initially, they had the idea of giving it a try. Many country leaders agreed to join this trial only under the threat of the great powers led by the United States. However, when they said "Guilty," they were instantly pulled into this space. A strange force made them understand this world's principles and feel Alaya's boundless power, showing them the mysterious side of this world and giving them some special ideas.
Since Alaya is an aggregate of human consciousness and will protect humans forever, in the future, when the Earth encounters a crisis, such as the previous Kryptonian invasion, could they also use Alaya's power to fight aliens?
Unfortunately, the leaders did not know that their ability to borrow Alaya's power to enter this consciousness space was entirely due to the Ancient One's secret help. Their plan would have failed without the Ancient One's willpower connected to Alaya.
When Ivan appeared, all the national leaders stepped back in fear. Ivan had deliberately transformed his consciousness projection to be more than ten meters tall, wearing a ferocious black dragon mask.
"I didn't expect you to be able to do this. Well, you won! But even if you win, I will make it challenging for you. I know your goal is to get benefits from me, but unfortunately, I won't leave a trace. Now, I'm about to leave Earth. Unfortunately, your calculations have failed. Goodbye."
After saying this, Ivan ignored the leaders' reactions and disappeared, leaving them looking at each other in dismay. This was completely different from what they expected. Their goal was to obtain alien technology, advanced equipment, and a superhuman serum, but they didn't expect him to leave Earth. All their calculations were in vain.
The leaders found themselves in chaos, blaming each other and nearly fighting. They felt dizzy, and when they opened their eyes, they had returned to the real world. They forcibly suppressed their restlessness and talked again to see if they could recover their losses.
Meanwhile, Ivan directly turned on the Gate on Skull Island, connected it to the Space Walker, opened the space door, and walked straight in.
