"Mr. Superman? Are you sure...you're not joking?"
Superman's appearance in front of him had already greatly surprised Dr. Pym.
And hearing him say these words in a low voice made Dr. Pym's expression even more shocked.
"Of course, I never joke."
Peter looked serious, without any intention of joking.
"But I don't have experience shrinking the energy device with Pym Particles yet..."
Dr. Pym wanted to tactfully refuse, of course, he wasn't lying either.
"Dr. Pym, I believe you can definitely succeed."
Suddenly, Peter's figure disappeared from in front of Dr. Pym, and the next second, his voice came from behind him.
"This...alright, please allow me to tidy up first."
Turning around and seeing Superman's imposing figure so close, Dr. Pym knew he probably couldn't refuse.
A few minutes later, Pym had tidied everything up, made sure to leave a message for his daughter, and took the Pym Particles he had made before going back to Peter.
He didn't think about using the Ant-Man suit to escape.
After all, with Superman's power, unless he hid directly in the quantum realm, there was no way he could escape Superman's pursuit.
"Mr. Superman, I'm ready, how do we leave next..."
Dr. Pym looked at Peter, waiting for his action.
"Just like this..."
Peter's mouth curved into a mysterious smile, then slowly raised his right hand.
The next second, a beam of cerulean energy shot out from the nanotech suit on his arm, leaving a cerulean energy cluster in the air.
Then the energy cluster flowed and spread like liquid to the surroundings, soon covering an energy screen as tall as a person and cerulean in color.
"Is this...magic?"
Dr. Pym's eyes were wide open, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
"Just an experimental technology, but don't worry, at least it's very safe now."
Peter smiled, then walked into the energy screen first to reassure Dr. Pym.
"This...is really unbelievable."
Seeing Peter's figure disappear into the cerulean energy screen with his own eyes, Dr. Pym couldn't help but curiously circle around the energy screen a few times. But still did not figure out what was the principle behind it.
Finally, he closed his eyes directly, like a prisoner going to his death, mustered his courage and strode into it.
...
"Dr. Pym, nice to meet you, I'm Reed Richards. Your Pym Particles really opened our eyes, didn't expect there to be such magical technology."
As Dr. Pym walked into the cerulean energy screen, before he could open his eyes, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice.
"You guys...what was that just now?"
Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes, and was shocked to find that the scene in front of him had changed tremendously.
It could be said that in the blink of an eye, he went from his home to a technologically advanced lab.
And over a dozen unfamiliar figures appeared in front of him.
"What you just experienced is a little invention of ours that we have tentatively named the teleportation portal."
Reed answered quite proudly.
That's right, this teleportation portal came from his hands.
After obtaining a large amount of vibranium and conducting some tests and research, he suddenly came up with the idea to thoroughly improve his previous teleportation portal concept.
Subsequently, under Peter's supervision, they opened a teleportation portal that could cross space for the first time.
"Teleportation portal? This is really unbelievable, it's simply God's magic..."
Dr. Pym walked under a huge arch-shaped device, and couldn't help but look back at the pale blue energy dissipating in the device, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Of course, this technology is still in the experimental stage now, and each activation requires an extremely large amount of energy."
To be honest, the current teleportation portal was forcibly opened under the power supply of massive energy.
First of all, this arch-shaped device is almost entirely made of vibranium.
Secondly, there are over a dozen arc reactors on the device providing power, and it needs to be continuously charged for nearly ten hours to store enough energy in the vibranium before it can be activated for less than a minute.
And each activation means over a dozen reactors need to replace the palladium elements inside.
"Massive energy?"
Dr. Pym couldn't help but walk around this huge arch-shaped device, and indeed saw over a dozen glowing reactors on its exterior.
"Not only that, right now this device can only set the coordinates on one side for teleportation, it can't achieve two-way teleportation, nor arbitrary teleportation."
"Hmm...like the town portal scrolls in some games..."
Reed generously introduced all the shortcomings of this teleportation portal, but even so, one could still see the strong sense of pride on his face.
"Town portal scroll? Unbelievable, unbelievable..."
Although as an outdated old man he didn't know what a town portal scroll was, he still successfully understood what Reed was saying.
"Oh yes, what about Mr. Superman who came early?"
After the astonishment, Dr. Pym finally remembered Peter.
"He probably went to retrieve that 'star' illuminating New York."
"You see, he's back already..."
Just as Reed was speaking, a familiar figure appeared in the corridor, single-handedly holding a star shining with brilliance.
...
Late night, in Tony Stark's villa.
"Jarvis, any news on that bio lab I had you investigate?"
Throwing the photos he had looked through over and over again on the table, Tony asked Jarvis.
"Sir, the company does have records of that bio lab being set up, and Ms. Potts was forced to take leave at that time."
"However, none of that lab's equipment was connected to the network, information was also stored on independent servers, so unfortunately, I'm unable to..."
"So that's all you can find out?"
Tony's face was getting darker.
Just after coming back, he discovered his personal secretary was forced to take leave. Furious at the time, he immediately revoked Pepper's forced leave without looking into it further.
Didn't expect the reason she was forced to take leave was actually because of this lab.
"Any other clues found in Obadiah's personal computer and phone?"
By now, Tony had started suspecting his father's business partner, his uncle.
Although previously he was very reluctant to do so.
"Sorry sir, Mr. Stane's computer has extremely robust security. Forced hacking may be detected by him."
"Looks like he hid everything flawlessly."
Seeing this method didn't work either, Tony's expression finally darkened completely.
"Since that's the case, I'll have to take action personally."
The next moment, Tony directly stood up from the sofa.
He took the nanoparticle container on the table, placed it on his chest, and tapped it twice lightly.
The next second, the nano suit swiftly covered his entire body in less than three seconds, the metal mask also slammed down, the glowing eyes giving people an inexplicable sense of fear.
Then, intense flames suddenly erupted under his feet, causing him to break free of gravity and float up.
The powerful thrust pushed him straight through the basement door into the vast sky.
Boom!
With an intense sonic boom, he in the armor instantly broke the sound barrier, flying towards that special bio lab.
"Hey, did you notice, that bright 'star' in the sky seems to be gone tonight?"
At the same time, many people were surprised to discover that the 'star' illuminating New York's night sky had suddenly vanished tonight.
And under the dark night sky, a slender figure in a black and white skintight costume also reappeared after days away.
Webs shot forth, the figure swung between high-rise buildings, speeding towards a lab in the suburbs of New York.
