Thor and his companions came to a dead halt, not daring to take another step forward. Among them, Sif of the Warriors Three whispered, "He is a truly dangerous fellow."
The others nodded in unison, completely agreeing with her assessment.
Sensing their approach, Aurelius Viremont descended back to the ground. He then heard Thor speak: "I intend to depart. There are matters in the Realm that require my attention."
Aurelius Viremont nodded and smiled at Thor. "Give my regards to Loki, and tell him to hurry up and bring his 'delivery' to Earth soon!"
Aurelius Viremont knew exactly what Thor would face upon his return: the invasion of the Frost Giants, and the moment Thor would personally destroy the Bifrost to stop Loki from annihilating Jotunheim, leaving him unable to return to Earth immediately.
However, this also meant that Loki was about to fall into the abyss of the universe, where he would eventually meet Thanos. He would be gifted the Mind Scepter and sent back to Earth to plot the use of the Tesseract to open a portal for the Chitauri invasion.
The Mind Scepter was the "delivery" Aurelius Viremont had been looking forward to for a long time!
Though Thor didn't understand the meaning behind the words, he simply replied, "I will."
He then bid farewell to Jane Foster, promising her that he would return, before vanishing into the prismatic pillar of the Bifrost along with the Warriors Three.
Once the light of the Bifrost completely faded, Aurelius Viremont looked at Jane Foster. "Don't forget to come find me for that 'treatment'~"
With that, he took a step and vanished from their sight. He was going to find Tony to get a fresh supply of Arc Reactors, and afterward, he would return the military's "grand gift" in kind!
The military had sent him a mushroom cloud; it wasn't too much to give them a little "peace" in return, was it?
Leaving New Mexico, Aurelius Viremont flew at extreme speeds toward Tony Stark's seaside villa. Now that his energy absorption had reached Lv.4, he could use teleportation consecutively to move himself without fear of injury.
Furthermore, with Reverse Cursed Technique at Lv.2, his healing speed had increased significantly. He could now continuously heal the brain damage caused by long-term technique usage, allowing him to maintain the Limitless indefinitely.
Moreover, the Lv.3 Limitless had reached the stage where it could automatically distinguish threats. Objects that posed no danger would not be affected, while anything threatening would be kept out!
By evening, the seaside villa was brilliantly lit. The party hosted by the world's richest man, Tony Stark, was grand and decadent. A large number of hot women, wearing only a few scraps of fabric, were constantly showing off, trying to catch the protagonist's eye.
With lights, beauties, and alcohol intertwining, the entire villa was thick with the scent of hormones. At this moment, it was undoubtedly a paradise for any man.
In the center of the ballroom, Tony Stark was visibly drunk. He had just relieved himself inside his iron suit and gotten into an argument with Pepper. Afterward, he began using the suit's weapons to shoot at bottles thrown into the air by the invited ladies for entertainment.
Just then, a voice broke the raucous atmosphere!
Colonel Rhodey walked out wearing another set of iron armor and shouted at the crowd, "I'm only going to say this once: Get out!"
The banquet fell silent instantly. The heated atmosphere vanished as everyone looked toward Rhodey. Just as Rhodey thought everyone was about to leave, he realized something was wrong!
The reactions of the people in front of him were a bit too extreme—they looked as if they might die at any second. But he wasn't going to kill them!
Suddenly, Rhodey realized their eyes weren't on him, but behind him! The involuntary trembling and fear were directed at someone standing at his back!
Rhodey realized the truth, but before he could turn his head, a fair hand with well-defined fingers pressed down on his shoulder. This palm contained terrifying strength; even though he was wearing the iron armor, he was forced down by the sheer weight of the force, ending up on one knee just to resist the pressure!
The hard floor beneath his knee began to spider-web with cracks, unable to bear the immense weight. Only then did he hear a whisper from behind him, like the murmur of a demon:
"Colonel Rhodey, how can the party stop? You wouldn't want to make me angry, would you?"
Rhodey felt his body go stiff. He jerked his head around bit by bit and saw the handsome, white-haired man with azure eyes leaning over his shoulder, smiling at him—though that radiant smile was filled with extreme malice!
Colonel Rhodey immediately followed his heart: "I also think the party shouldn't end!"
The white-haired demon smiled with satisfaction. He walked forward to Tony Stark's side and shouted to the crowd of stunning women, "Don't stop! Keep the music playing and keep dancing!"
The women, their minds already blurred by alcohol, instantly discarded their fear and cheered loudly!
The lights flashed again, and the screams grew louder. Alongside the energy blasts from the iron armor, there were azure black holes and terrifying black-red singularities! Of course, the skills were under Aurelius Viremont's perfect control; they didn't cause a shred of damage to the surroundings.
Tonight was undoubtedly a wonderful night!
When Aurelius Viremont woke up, it was already the next morning. He got up and dressed, stepping over a dozen exposed, charming bodies either on the bed or scattered across the floor. He walked out of the room into the main hall of the villa.
Dealing with a dozen thirsty ladies at once was something even Aurelius Viremont, with his Reverse Cursed Technique, found a bit taxing on his constitution.
Upon entering the living room, he found Tony already waiting. A holographic display was projecting footage of the nuclear blast in New Mexico—and the white-haired man walking out from within it.
Hearing footsteps, Tony turned his head. When he saw the yawning Aurelius Viremont, his eyes were filled with absolute shock.
Seeing this, Aurelius Viremont teased, "What is it? Don't look at me like that. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal."
Tony, however, was in no mood for jokes. He looked at Aurelius Viremont incredulously and asked the question that had left him stunned: "You were really hit head-on by a nuke... and walked out completely unscathed?"
Aurelius Viremont looked at the projection and grinned. "Of course. It's quite simple."
"Simple? How did you do it?"
"Tony, don't be so surprised. Aside from me, there are many people who can do it—for example, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."
"The Sorcerer Supreme? Who is that?"
Just as Tony was about to ask more, a shower of sparks suddenly erupted in front of them. A circular portal of sputtering orange sparks slowly formed, and a kind-looking bald woman stepped through...
