Since returning from the Schiller to the Marvel world, he noticed that the egg had started to show some changes. For example, the "thumping" heartbeat became more pronounced, and he could sense some emotions from the egg through his mind-reading ability. The egg also made a "gurgling" sound from within.

Schiller initially thought that the egg was about to hatch, so he had been thinking about how to handle it to maximize his gains.

However, after observing for a few days, Schiller realized that something was off. The heartbeat continued, and the eggshell kept making noise, but there was no sign of it hatching.

Moreover, as the vitality inside the egg grew stronger, Schiller could feel the emotions of the life inside more clearly. It was the cruel and insane emotions unique to Destruction Day, almost ready to spread out.

Although he didn't know why Destruction Day from the DCSpace had turned into an egg, since he knew that Destruction Day might be inside, Schiller had to be prepared and deal with this monster.

Destruction Day was difficult to kill, or rather, in the DC world, it was very hard to be killed.

Just like how the serial killer Jason in the Friday the 13th world was almost immortal, it wasn't because they were truly invincible, but because of the power of Space. In this Space, they were set to be immortal.

In the Marvel world, the fourth wall concept was always present, so it could be understood that the screenwriter arranged for the Death of that Space not to include Destruction Day, so naturally, he couldn't die.

However, just because that Space's Death didn't include Destruction Day didn't mean that this Space couldn't. In the DC world, Destruction Day had an immortal setting, but when he came to Marvel with Schiller, that setting no longer applied.

Especially since he clashed with Ultron, who also had a similar setting of being resilient and not dying, not only did he not die, but he also evolved to become stronger, causing more trouble for the protagonist team. The two of them had almost identical settings, but as a local player, Ultron's position was definitely higher.

If we were to consider popularity, when two villains with the same setting appeared in one Space, basically, whoever had higher popularity would be the one who couldn't die. And now, with Destruction Day coming to Marvel, at most, it was equivalent to a crossover issue, while Ultron was a well-known villain who frequently appeared in the main world of comics. It goes without saying who had higher popularity.

This was also Schiller's plan to deal with Destruction Day by leveraging the Marvel Space.

And dealing with it required technique. If he let it out, then a fight would be inevitable. He would have to choose the battlefield, the opponent, and the method of death to ensure sufficient gains.

In Schiller's style, this would be an incredibly vast and complicated plan, with dozens of subplots, twists and turns, and finally achieving the ultimate goal.

Originally, Schiller planned to do it this way, but now he had a more efficient, higher-yielding method.

First, he called out Grey Mist, then he took out the umbrella with the Curse Spirit, and then he had Grey Mist infiltrate the eggshell with the Curse Spirit inside the umbrella.

In simpler terms, Grey Mist acted as an injection syringe, and the Curse Spirit acted as an insecticide. He directly injected a high concentration of insecticide into the egg, weakening the life activity of Destruction Day inside...

Previously, Schiller had experimented with the effectiveness of the Curse Spirit on Black Panther T'Challa. This Curse Spirit, which shared the same bloodline as Constantine, seemed to possess a unique and deadly curse. Even the Panther God Bast was helpless against it.

Moreover, based on the cursed Black Panther's experience, this curse was attached to the soul, leaving no visible scars on the outside but killing the soul from within. This was very much in line with Constantine's style.

Grey Mist acted as the injection syringe, directly injecting the Curse Spirit into the body of Destruction Day inside the egg, causing the heartbeat and emotions of Destruction Day inside the egg to decrease to the minimum.

However, even a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. After the initial powerful effect, both sides seemed to be in a stalemate. Destruction Day inside the egg maintained minimal activity, and no matter how much Curse Spirit attacked, it was not completely killed.

At this point, Schiller pulled out another trump card, which was the essence of Hydra's Soul energy that he had fed to Curse Spirit before.

By selling Hydra's Soul to Mephisto, he received the essence of Soul energy as an intermediary reward. When Schiller fed this to Curse Spirit before, Curse Spirit seemed to really enjoy it. And now, when he needed Curse Spirit to do the job, Schiller naturally wouldn't skimp on the food.

Grey Mist transmitted this energy to Curse Spirit until it was full, and at this point, Curse Spirit became stronger and stronger. He began to use the power of that powerful curse to gradually erode the soul of Destruction Day.

Curse Spirit needed time to absorb the energy and time to completely eliminate the last trace of Destruction Day's soul. However, Schiller had entered the world of the ring with his physical body, so in the real world, he was in a missing state. Therefore, he couldn't wait here for Curse Spirit to finish the job.

He left a part of Grey Mist to monitor the situation here and then left the world of the ring, returning to the real world.

At this time, Ultron found him, leading Schiller to the basement of the Sanatorium. There, he saw that a mechanical bed had been assembled, along with a pile of devices that Schiller couldn't understand.

In the center of the room stood a combat suit that looked exactly like the Iron Man combat suit, except it was much larger than Iron Man's.

Just as Schiller requested, all four limbs have normal structural components, but the chest to the abdomen is empty, and some soft collision materials are placed there, seemingly prepared for something.

"Very good, not bad. Can it be used now?" Schiller looked at the forged steel combat suit and asked.

"No, there is still one very crucial thing that hasn't been done." Ultron walked to the front of the combat suit and pointed to the shell on its chest, saying, "Sir, there should be a power source here."

"But I don't need it to fly, it's not flying with me, I'm flying with it."

"No, what I mean is that Mr. Stark's Iron Man combat suit has special light effects, especially the Ark Reactor on the chest, which has almost become the symbol of Iron Man."

"According to the results of online media, 60% of New York citizens can recognize the light effects of the reactor at night. If you want to fake it, it's hard to avoid this point."

"Can't you disguise it with a different light?" Schiller asked.

Ultron shook his head and said, "That's not just any light, it's a special light that comes with a special power source. Using a different light might be able to disguise it, but it won't look very convincing and may reveal flaws."

Schiller took a deep breath, feeling a bit troubled, and asked, "So, do I have to find a light bulb for it?"

"Well, if you insist on calling it that, you can." Ultron clearly didn't agree with Schiller calling the high-tech Ark Reactor a light bulb.

"Forget it, I'll wait." After saying that, Schiller left the underground area and drove to Stark Tower.

When he entered the laboratory in Stark Tower, Stark was as usual, tinkering with a pile of parts that Schiller couldn't understand in front of the lab table.

"Do you need something?" Stark asked without even looking up.

"Of course, it's like this. My new Sanatorium's lobby is missing a brand new light bulb..."

"So what?" Taking advantage of the pause, Stark picked up a glass of water and took a sip.

"Can you give me one of your Ark Reactors?"

"Ha!" Stark sprayed the water out and hurriedly moved the parts that got splashed with water.

Stark stared at Schiller, opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Schiller's confident expression, he suddenly couldn't argue.

"In your opinion, anything that needs power and can light up is called a light bulb, right?" Stark posed a soul-searching question.

Little did he know, Schiller shook his head and said, "In my opinion, even things that don't need power and can't light up can also be called light bulbs."

Stark snorted and said, "That's like you calling yourself an ordinary person, isn't it?"

Saying that, he walked towards a wall and pressed a few times. A door opened on the wall, revealing a pitch-black interior. Stark walked in and came out less than a minute later, holding a shiny Ark Reactor in his hand.

He threw it to Schiller and said, "It's not the latest model, but it's good enough to be a light bulb. Remember to renew my membership for another two years so I can enjoy the lobby with the Ark Reactor as a light bulb."

"Aren't you afraid I'll use it for something bad?" Schiller asked.

Stark snorted again, looked Schiller up and down, and said, "It would be strange if you can use it for something other than a light bulb!"

After saying that, he walked back to the lab table and continued with his own work. Schiller walked out with the Ark Reactor, muttering to himself, "If that's the case, then I'll have to give it a try."

Back in the underground area of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller threw the Ark Reactor to Ultron. Ultron hurriedly caught it and looked at it as if it were a treasure. Then, with a regretful expression, he inserted it into the chest of the fake steel combat suit.

And thus, a lifelike fake steel combat suit was completed.

Or rather, this is actually a real steel combat suit, because the key to the steel combat suit is the Ark Reactor in the chest, and at this moment, although the reactor is not connected to the entire combat suit, it is still very bright.

Schiller patted the fake combat suit with satisfaction, and at this moment, Grey Mist sent him a message that Curse Spirit's job was done, and the Soul of destruction inside the egg had completely dissipated...

Schiller took the egg out of the ring world and stuffed it into the body of the fake steel combat suit. Then, he closed the shell and used Grey Mist to lift the entire steel combat suit, floating in the air above New York.

It was late at night, and the light from the Ark Reactor was brighter than any light coming through the windows. In mid-air, Schiller controlled the flying steel combat suit while taking out his telephone and calling Lady Loki, saying:

"Lady Loki! Stark says you're a fool! A prankster god who got stood up that day! He wants to spread your foolishness all over Earth!"

"Stark!"

"!"

"!"

With Lady Loki's roar, in a moment, the light of the Bifrost descended upon the sky above New York, and the mad Lady Loki appeared in the sky above New York.

She scanned the night sky of New York and saw only one point in the center, a super bright light bulb. Without even looking, she knew it was the light from the Ark Reactor of the steel combat suit, shining like the brightest star in the night sky.

"Kacha!"

A tremendously huge thunderbolt fell from the clouds, carrying a light that could illuminate the entire space, fiercely striking the steel combat suit in mid-air.

Inside Stark's laboratory, Stark was startled by the light of the thunderbolt. He looked confusedly up and glanced outside the window, not noticing anything unusual. Then he shook his head and continued to focus on his experiment.

The next day at noon, just as Stark got out of bed, he received a telephone call from Schiller. Schiller said to him, "I have prepared a birthday gift for you, come and get it."

"Don't give me that, my birthday is in the summer."

Just as Stark was about to hang up the telephone, Schiller continued, "Do you think I would prepare a boring explosive for you? No, I have prepared a real surprise for you. You better come and see it quickly..."

Stark covered his forehead, took a deep breath, and had a bad feeling. So he quickly put on his clothes and piloted the combat suit to Arkham Sanatorium.

Schiller warmly welcomed Stark in his office and said, "I forgot that you had a birthday party in the summer, but at that time, I was on vacation, so I prepared a birthday gift for you..."

"...What is it?" Stark crossed his arms and squinted his eyes.

Schiller bent down and, from the side of the desk blocked by a cabinet, brought out a... little girl.

Schiller held the little girl's armpits with both hands, lifted her up, just like holding a pet dog, and showed her to Stark, then said, "This is the gift. How about it? Do you like it?"

Stark showed an incredibly shocked expression because he saw that the little girl's chest had a reactor identical to his own.

What's even more terrifying is that the little girl Schiller was holding resembled Lady Loki at least eighty percent.
