Chapter 66: Lan Xingyu is Angry
It was already summer vacation. Lan Xingyu continued his shut-in lifestyle. Every day, he would play games, watch anime, and pet Amber. If he felt like moving, he'd take Panda out to play, living a very carefree life.
With Icarus's help lately, Sister Potts's workload had become much lighter.
Icarus truly lived up to being an artificial intelligence enhanced by the Immortal Grandfather. Now, she was exactly like a girl who enjoyed peace and quiet. Perhaps because Sister Potts was the first person to hug her and make her feel warmth, her level of attachment to Sister Potts was second only to Lan Xingyu.
Furthermore, Icarus was highly capable; Sister Potts's schedule was arranged perfectly by her. Combined with her work efficiency, Sister Potts now had time to come back and cook every day.
Because Icarus was constantly connected to the network, any information Sister Potts wanted on her competitors was just a sentence away. Negotiations, which used to be the most exhausting part, had now become simple.
However, after Sister Potts and the others returned in the evening, Icarus liked to sit beside Lan Xingyu, watching him play games while stroking her sphere.
Lan Xingyu had invited Icarus to play with him, but she was more interested in her spherical toy. That one time Lan Xingyu invited her, her head kept turning back and forth between the keyboard and the sphere in her arms. That conflicted little expression was truly super cute.
Seeing Icarus with that expression, Lan Xingyu didn't force her. When she realized she didn't have to choose and happily hugged her spherical toy, her expression made Lan Xingyu feel even more smitten by her cuteness.
Lan Xingyu was curious; he originally thought Icarus watched him play every day because she wanted to play too. But now it seemed that wasn't the case. When Lan Xingyu asked Icarus why, she just gave him a pure smile and didn't say a word.
Lan Xingyu didn't want to force Icarus, so he didn't ask further. He wasn't worried about Icarus turning into something like Skynet from Terminator.
After all, products from the Immortal were bound to be high-quality. Moreover, Lan Xingyu always held the highest authority over Icarus. Otherwise, what did you think that Imprinting was for?
This evening, as Lan Xingyu was playing games at home as usual, an urgent ringing came from the door. Jarvis reported, "Sir, Officer Stacy seems to have an urgent matter and is looking for you."
"Let him in," Tony said. He was just about to head to the lab anyway.
As it turned out, the first piece of news George Stacy brought in caused Lan Xingyu to explode.
"Tony, please help me, Gwen is missing!" Gwen's father said urgently.
Just as he was about to explain the circumstances, he felt an invisible pressure weigh down on him.
With a flash of golden light, Lan Xingyu had already appeared before his eyes. Before he could react, he saw Lan Xingyu ask him, "Gwen is missing? Since when!"
Lan Xingyu was very angry now, extremely angry. Who was it! Who dared to harm the person he had already internally decided was his closest?
By now, Officer Stacy was so frightened by Lan Xingyu's Aura that he couldn't even react. He simply nodded.
Tony noticed something was wrong with Lan Xingyu and hurriedly said, "Xingyu! Calm down first..."
"Calm down my foot! Icarus, enter combat mode! Occupy the global network and electronic devices! Find Gwen for me at the fastest speed possible!"
"Understood, Master!" At that moment, Icarus's eyes turned red, her clothes shifted back into combat mode, and the wings on her back unfurled. She began her operation!
Tony and the others were stunned by Icarus's instantaneous transformation, while Officer Stacy was completely shocked. Who could tell him what was happening? Why did a child make it impossible for him to stand, and why did a girl suddenly turn into an angel?
Before they could react, Icarus spoke: "Global network and electronic devices have been compromised. Beginning Search!"
Tony was dumbfounded upon hearing this. How many seconds had it been? The global network was compromised? He instinctively called for Jarvis, but Jarvis did not respond.
Of course, if Tony was just shocked, then S.H.I.E.L.D. was already in total chaos. Nick Fury was panicking because, in a single instant, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s servers and communication equipment had all been compromised, including the Helicarrier in the sky. And the person who compromised them seemed to be looking for something.
But S.H.I.E.L.D. had so many secrets that he was panicking, yet their network security staff had no solutions at all—even physical ones.
Naturally, another place was also in a panic: Wakanda. They prided themselves on having the strongest technology on the planet, yet today everything suddenly went out of control! Their technical staff were being ground into the dirt by Icarus. They had no way to stop it. The old king was panicking too! If Wakanda and S.H.I.E.L.D. were panicking, there was no need to mention other countries.
While Icarus was searching for Gwen through the network and global surveillance cameras, Amber said, "Master, you can just use Search magic!"
Hearing Amber's words, Lan Xingyu slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten this?
Then, for the first time, Lan Xingyu used his full power. A wave of energy centered on Earth rippled out into the Universe. It carried the pressure of Lan Xingyu's Conqueror's Haki. He showed some restraint on Earth, but in places where Earth wouldn't be affected, Lan Xingyu was completely unscrupulous.
Consequently, it wasn't just the powers on Earth that panicked; the major powers in the Universe began to panic as well. Thanos, sitting on his throne and about to check on the Asgardian he had rescued, felt a surge of pressure weigh down on him, forcing him directly onto one knee.
He was shocked. Who was it! Who possessed such terrifying power? Such a grand force was something even he had never seen! When he looked up, he saw that his Black Order and his daughters had all fainted.
The same scene played out in the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire.
In Asgard, Odin also opened his eyes. Within Asgard, Lan Xingyu naturally exercised control, but Odin still felt Lan Xingyu's strength and anger! What force could possibly make Xingyu this angry? But Xingyu really was incredible! Looking at the situation, he had become much stronger again!
That's right, with this outburst, Lan Xingyu's strength had already reached the Peak of a single Universe.
But Lan Xingyu didn't care about any of that, nor did he care about the dilemmas of those cosmic powers. He wanted to expand the Search range as much as possible, fearing that something like what happened to Star-Lord or Captain Marvel might have happened to Gwen.
However, without waiting for the Search range to reach its limit, Lan Xingyu activated the magic 'Search' to look for Gwen Stacy.
To Lan Xingyu's relief, Gwen was still on Earth, so he stopped the expansion of the magic.
The various powers in the Universe suddenly found that the pressure weighing them down had vanished, and they finally began to slowly recover.
Lan Xingyu said to Icarus, "Icarus, no need to look anymore, I found her. Let's go. Amber, come along."
As Lan Xingyu spoke, he raised his hand and opened a Teleportation Gate. Regardless of the fact that Officer Stacy was still there, he led the way inside. Icarus and Amber immediately followed.
By now, Officer Stacy was so astonished he didn't know what to say. Before he could digest the previous shocks, the cat here had actually spoken. Even if the speaking was set aside, what was that thing on Lan Xingyu's hand that looked like a magic circle from a game?
Seeing that things had already reached this point, Tony didn't bother trying to stop Lan Xingyu. Instead, he went over to Gwen's father, Officer Stacy, to help guide him through the shock.
Tony estimated that after today, this officer's worldview would likely be shattered into pieces.
