The inevitable cost of using magic would eventually be too much for The Ancient One to bear. Once she could no longer withstand the price of her pacts with the demon gods, she would be doomed.
Therefore, she had always relied on close combat to deal with enemies, using magic sparingly and only elemental magic that required no pacts.
But now, it seemed the problem that had plagued The Ancient One might be resolved.
"What is the Void Engine?" Tony Stark couldn't wait to ask. His mind was filled with so much new knowledge that even he, as a scientist, was astonished.
"The Void Engine comes from a universe called the Super God Universe. It functions like a computer, modifying the universe through a kind of coding. The higher the user's knowledge and coding ability, the more they can analyze all things in the world, performing feats beyond human understanding—such as distorting matter, spatial teleportation, altering others' perceptions, and more. It holds infinite possibilities."
Hearing this explanation from the screen, Tony Stark's eyes widened. The ability to modify the world was terrifying.
Then he couldn't help but show a look of joy. As a top-tier scientist, he was quick to accept these extraordinary concepts.
Using knowledge and understanding to code and reshape reality—it was a reward tailor-made for him!
Tony was confident he was the best scientist and programmer in the world. With this, his wildest ideas could become reality!
"Maybe I can create a plasma cannon, giant machines, and even the technology from Doraemon's world."
Tony couldn't help but imagine.
"CPH4 is a special drug from another universe. When ingested, it can unlock 30% of the brain's potential, granting abilities beyond human limits. Normally, taking this drug risks bodily collapse, but the reward version eliminates these side effects."
After hearing the explanation about CPH4, Natasha was astonished. Was this a drug that could grant superpowers?
"What! Unlocking 30% of the brain's potential—how is that possible?"
Tony Stark immediately exclaimed in shock, and even The Ancient One was a bit unsettled.
"Even the most renowned Einstein only unlocked 10% of his brain. Unlocking 30% would make someone beyond a genius—no longer human!"
As a scientist, Tony Stark understood the significance of brain development.
Most people could only unlock about 5%, but this drug could unlock 30%. That was terrifying.
What would a human with 30% brain capacity be like?
Natasha, hearing Tony's words, couldn't help but take a deep breath. NZT-48 indeed sounded incredibly powerful.
If she took it, what would happen?
Natasha hesitated, worried she might become something inhuman.
But thinking of the terrifying evil god and the various horrifying containment objects, she felt immense fear.
She had believed herself to be a top-tier agent capable of handling most crises.
But after witnessing the power of those terrifying containment objects, she realized how insignificant she was. The feeling of death being so close, with no resistance, was terrifying.
"I'm going for it."
Natasha took a deep breath and without hesitation, consumed the NZT-48.
The Ancient One and Tony were too late to stop her, watching helplessly as she swallowed the drug, unsure what would happen next.
"Ahhh!!"
The next second, Natasha clutched her head in pain, squatting down and eventually falling to the ground, trembling all over and sweating profusely as if her body was burning from the inside.
"Hey! Are you okay?"
Seeing Natasha in pain, Tony rushed forward, concerned, wanting to help but unsure how.
"Let's try the Void Engine. Is this how it's activated?"
Tony followed the knowledge in his mind, quickly mastering the Void Engine.
"Inputting host data, Tony Stark. Activating Void Engine."
"Currently loading gene warrior system, dark dimension system, micro wormhole algorithm, high-level cosmic calculations…"
"Frame count 8…"
"Starting to analyze the target, Natasha Romanoff."
"20% analyzed… 40%… 70%… 100%…"
"The target is currently undergoing accelerated brain development. Over 200 billion brain neurons are activating, evolving."
"What! Evolving! Is that the result of 30% brain capacity?"
Hearing the Void Engine's report, Tony was amazed. He was very curious about what Natasha would become.
"Ahhh…"
After a while, Natasha stopped shaking, panting heavily.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Tony asked worriedly.
The next second, Natasha's body suddenly sprang up like a puppet, jumping to an incredible height before landing lightly.
Tony and The Ancient One were both stunned.
Natasha looked at Tony and The Ancient One, then suddenly said, "Stark, the blood vessels in your brain are constantly pulsing. You haven't slept for over 72 hours, have you? If you don't sleep soon, those vessels might burst."
"What?"
Tony was taken aback. Even JARVIS had warned him about this, but he had dismissed it, thinking he had too much to do to sleep.
But how did Natasha know?
Then Natasha turned to The Ancient One: "Your body has more severe issues than I imagined. Poor sleep quality, severe stomach problems, and some other private issues I won't mention."
The Ancient One's eyes changed. Did Natasha see through all her backlash problems?
"Did you awaken some superpower?"
The Ancient One asked.
"No. I feel like my senses are greatly enhanced, and my brain processes information extremely fast. Just by observing surface details, I can uncover deeper truths."
As Natasha spoke, her body suddenly wavered like sand.
Tony rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
But when he looked again, Natasha's body was breaking down into sand-like particles, then recombining, finally taking the form of Tony Stark.
