Galaxy, Sirius (a name suggested by a friend).
This is a life-supporting planet, but it currently lacks intelligent life, and it is relatively close to the Solar System.
Zhang Zheng arrived here because the Infinity Gauntlet had given him a surprise.
During his time in the Denor Galaxy, Zhang Zheng had used the full power of the Infinity Stones to familiarize himself with their abilities. While fully utilizing the Mind Stone, Zhang Zheng awakened his own Sentinel psychic power, allowing him to establish communication with the Mind Stone. Through this communication, Zhang Zheng discovered the "memories of Thanos and Vision" stored within the Mind Stone.
With the powerful psychic energy from Thanos and Vision's knowledge, Zhang Zheng had an idea: to create an Iron Legion to deal with the alien minions he might encounter in the future. Yes, minions.
In Zhang Zheng's view, anyone who isn't a god is just a minion.
The data from Vision contained all the technological knowledge recorded on Earth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, primarily the technology of Iron Man, as he was the evolved form of JARVIS. Thanos's data, on the other hand, included knowledge far beyond Earth's technology. Combining these two sources, Zhang Zheng wasn't sure what kind of combat power his Iron Legion would unleash.
Moreover, Thanos provided not just technological knowledge but also "excellent combat awareness, top-notch cosmic military experience, and most importantly, understanding and application of the Infinity Gauntlet." This was the greatest gain from the experience.
On a cleared area of Sirius, Zhang Zheng was using the Reality Stone to create a large-scale armory. The Reality Stone has the advantage of being able to manifest physical objects as long as the relevant knowledge is understood.
Currently, the knowledge from Thanos and Vision was Zhang Zheng's strongest support. Looking at the armory, Zhang Zheng knew he still needed an artificial intelligence to manage it.
Zhang Zheng then developed an artificial intelligence system based on the Mind Stone.
"From now on, you'll be called Skynet," Zhang Zheng said, transferring all of Vision's data and Thanos's space battleship technology to it, and also creating a body for Skynet.
"Master, Skynet is ready to serve you," the robot in front of Zhang Zheng suddenly spoke.
Hearing Skynet's voice, Zhang Zheng frowned and said, "Can you change the voice? It's too jarring. Yes, jarring. It might be due to the body or the system's imperfection. Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable hearing Skynet's voice."
"Sorry, Master. The current body has some issues, and... the configuration is lagging behind," Skynet replied, with a completely emotionless, matter-of-fact tone.
"Hmm, well, this is my own fault; I have to take responsibility," Zhang Zheng said, rubbing his forehead.
Then Zhang Zheng seemed to remember something and said to Skynet, "I need you to develop on your own here. I need you to manufacture the first batch of Iron Legion. The quantity and quality don't need to be too high—Model Mark 7 will do. How long will it take to complete 1,000 suits?"
"Although the equipment here is complete, Master, this is an undeveloped planet. All materials need to be collected by ourselves. At our current working speed, it will take at least a year," Skynet answered.
"If the raw materials are sufficient, how long will it take?" Zhang Zheng asked.
"If the raw materials are sufficient, the time will be greatly reduced. It will take about 3 months to complete 1,000 suits that can be put into combat," Skynet calculated.
Hearing Skynet's response, Zhang Zheng felt a bit helpless. He just wanted to take it easy, but it seemed difficult.
"If I manufacture 100 construction robots, how much will the speed improve?" Zhang Zheng asked.
Zhang Zheng considered creating them himself, but it would be too mentally taxing, and he wasn't a patient person. Especially with something as intricate as the Iron Man suits, he didn't have the patience for it.
"If the raw materials are sufficient, it will still take at least two months. Master, the suits need to be calibrated. Our production capacity is limited," Skynet replied in its mechanical voice.
"Two months," Zhang Zheng thought about the upcoming Tianhe Battle and calculated the time in his mind. "I hope it will be on time." Zhang Zheng thought, "Thinking about how the Tianhe minions will react to the Iron Man suits."
He felt a bit excited, imagining that with 1,000 Iron Man suits, the minions might be severely beaten if they faced the suits without using nuclear weapons.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng said to Skynet, "I will manufacture 100 construction robots for you. After that, you can continue to develop on this planet. I'm leaving now."
Zhang Zheng then materialized the items Skynet needed and, without staying longer on Sirius, activated the Rainbow Bridge to return to the Super God Academy.
Earth, Super God Academy, Training Ground.
The members of the Brave Army were standing in a row, listening to Della organize the structure.
"Your goddess Reina, the squad leader of the Brave Army," Della proudly said, patting her chest.
"Oh, squad leader? I'm still a five-star general," Liu Chuang interrupted habitually, without realizing he was provoking trouble.
"Liu Chuang, step forward," Della, noticing the others snickering, said with a slightly flushed face and a stern expression.
"Fine, I'll step forward," Liu Chuang muttered as he stepped out of line. Since everyone was more familiar with each other than in the original, Liu Chuang wasn't afraid that Della would really punish him.
"Qiangwei will be the acting squad leader when I'm not here. If you see Ge Xiaolun looking at Qiangwei, Della wasn't happy.
"Still looking? I heard you, Ge Xiaolun, want to live with Qiangwei, right?" Della said, adding with a tease, "If you like her, just say so."
Della felt that Ge Xiaolun had no taste, always looking at Qiangwei instead of appreciating her, and was somewhat displeased. She cursed inwardly, thinking Ge Xiaolun was blind.
Haha... Hearing Della's teasing, the Brave Army members couldn't help but laugh.
Ge Xiaolun, embarrassed by the laughter, scratched his head and laughed along.
Seeing Ge Xiaolun's silly laugh, Della decided to ignore him. She continued talking about the origins of the Super God Academy. Just as she was mentioning the principal, she suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at the sky.
At that moment, Ge Xiaolun seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky as well. Seeing Della and Ge Xiaolun looking up, everyone followed suit.
"Something is coming; everyone be careful," Della suddenly warned.
As soon as Della's voice fell, the clouds in the sky began to roll, creating a scene as if the heavens were collapsing.
Everyone became tense upon seeing this.
Suddenly, a seven-colored beam of light pierced through the clouds and shot straight down to the Brave Army's training ground.
Seeing this, Liu Chuang and the other males gripped their weapons and positioned themselves to protect the females, preparing for battle. Della took out the Dawn Shield and moved to the front.
"Oh, everyone's here," the seven-colored light faded, and Zhang Zheng leisurely greeted the Brave Army members.
"Zhang Zheng, Brother Zheng," seeing it was Zhang Zheng, the Brave Army members relaxed their defenses and greeted him with surprise.
