Chapter 668: A New God Appears in the Universe (Part 1)

"I think we still have to think long-term." At this time, Connors suddenly said: "What is the so-called upgrading principle? How safe is it? Are there any accidents? These are all issues that need to be considered. I don't agree with rash attempts without any safety guarantees..."

"Although I have always disagreed with your overly conservative experimental ideas, this is indeed a problem." Stark said while thinking: "The last upgrade was more like a coincidence than a precise experiment. Can this coincidence be replicated? What kind of anomalies will appear after replication? Is this anomaly dangerous? We can't conclude now."

Just as Schiller was about to speak, Strange said: "Indeed, although you It is often said that mysticism is a guessing game, but I must tell you that we also have relevant safety regulations. Everything related to demons and magic must be handled with extreme caution. The human soul is very fragile. Once it is corrupted by power, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"From the perspective of SHIELD, we must also ensure Stark's safety." Natasha said: "His wisdom is not replicable. It has important strategic significance for human civilization. If his safety cannot be guaranteed 100%, it is better not to do it."

"Okay, then, let's study how to deal with this artificial upgrade to ensure safety to the greatest extent and achieve the goal at the same time?" Schiller also said.

Just then, Peter suddenly said: "That... Can I leave? I have classes in the afternoon."

"Go, go." Several people waved, and Stark said to him: "The car is parked downstairs, pay attention to safety on the road."

Although he said so, after Peter left, he still reminded Jarvis to always pay attention to Peter's situation, and if there is anything abnormal, others can arrive at the scene in time.

After Peter left, he went to New York University to attend classes. Although Stark's transformation into a demon god was very important, he couldn't skip classes right after the start of the semester.

After the afternoon class, Peter found that he had nowhere to go. Gwen was busy with internship, Pikachu was not in the clinic, and Stark and Connors were busy with the upgrade experiment. Peter thought about it and decided to go to the laboratory in Stark Building first to finish the experiment in the previous stage.

As soon as Peter entered Stark Building, he saw a small figure running towards him.

"Helen? Didn't Miss Pepper say you went to dance class? The class is over?" Peter asked.

Before Helen answered, Pepper came in. She covered her forehead and said helplessly, "This little girl learned a whole set of Swan Lake movements in one class. The dance teacher said that I should send her to the Russian ballet company to receive more professional education, but she doesn't have the professional ability to teach such a talented dancer."

Peter's eyes widened. He picked up Helen. Helen smiled at him. Peter said in surprise, "Oh, your teeth?"

Helen's teeth have become normal human teeth. Except for the two small canine teeth that are still a little sharper than ordinary people, she looks no different from ordinary human children.

Moreover, the pair of scary vertical pupils disappeared, replaced by brown eyes exactly like Stark's.

"Because I have to be the same as others." Helen said, "Otherwise, they will look at me with strange eyes."

"Has your language become so fluent?" Peter picked up Helen with some surprise and looked at her and said.

Then, he weighed the little girl in his arms and said, "Is it my illusion? Why does she seem to have become a lot heavier?"

"It's not your illusion." Pepper replied, "Stark told me that according to his research results, Helen's growth rate is about six times that of normal humans."

"Oh my God, won't she grow up soon?" Peter said with his mouth wide open.

"I can control my growth rate myself. If I don't want to grow up, I will always stay like this." Helen smiled with some pride.

"It's amazing. There are really many things in this world that are beyond my cognition." Peter exclaimed.

Then, he put Helen down. Helen blinked in confusion and asked, "Peter, why are you glowing?"

"Glowing? I don't... Oh, you mean the power of faith they are talking about? I don't know what's going on, but Mr. Stark and others said..." Peter explained.

Helen nodded, not quite understanding, and then followed Pepper away.

When Peter entered the laboratory and began to prepare for the experiment, Helen ran in.

"Is the door of the laboratory not closed tightly? It will be troublesome if it leaks!" Peter immediately walked to the door to check if he forgot to close it.

Helen jumped onto the table and said, "Your door is closed. I came in by teleportation."

"Oh, I forgot that you can do magic, but who taught you to teleport?"

"My mother... maybe my father... now it's my father." Helen explained.

Peter didn't quite understand, but suddenly, he realized it and asked, "Are you talking about Loki?"

"Yes, Loki Odinson."

"But..." Peter showed a very complicated expression, and said, "Isn't Mr. Stark your father?"

"Oh, yes, he is also my father, what's wrong?" Helen said confidently.

Peter opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, Helen continued: "Actually, Thor Odinson is also my father."

"So..." Helen used her still chubby fingers to flexibly snap her fingers, and with a few "swoosh" sounds, three layers of halos appeared behind Helen.

Peter was stunned. At this moment, Helen asked, "What's the matter with the strange golden light on your body?"

"Well, I don't quite understand, but Mr. Strange said..."

Peter briefly explained to Helen what the power of faith was, and told her what happened during the Bat Incident. Helen thought for a while and said, "This must be related to the Morlun family they mentioned... By the way, have you ever tried to use this power actively?"

Looking at the little Helen in front of him acting like an adult, Peter found it very interesting. He picked Helen up and said, "The last time I saw you, you couldn't even speak."

Helen shook her head and said, "Learning a language is not difficult. Magic is a little more difficult, but it's okay. I feel that the most difficult thing is...emotion."

"Emotion? Do I have to learn emotions?" Peter was a little confused.

Helen didn't say anything else, but the expression on her face was complicated and inconsistent with her age. There was confusion, doubt and desire in it.

Soon, the two began to study the energy in Peter. Peter stood in front of the experimental table and said, "Dr. Strange said that this might be the culprit for my recent overexcitement, but I haven't found any other effect besides making me more excited."

"It must have an effect, otherwise, it wouldn't make your body change like this... I think you can try to use this power." Helen suggested.

"I don't trust this kind of power from unknown sources." Peter frowned and seemed a little hesitant.

Helen stood on the experimental table in front of Peter, thinking for a while, then she stretched out a hand and pressed it on Peter's shoulder. Peter was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was doing.

A glimmer of golden light visible to the naked eye lit up on Helen's hand, until it spread all over Helen's body. Peter seemed to realize what she was doing, and he said, "Helen, stop! This power may be dangerous, and you are too young..."

Before Peter finished speaking, the golden light on Helen's body disappeared, and the halo behind her became brighter.

Peter looked at Helen with amazement and asked, "Can you extract this power?"

"Yes, I can also transform them into magical energy that I can use..." Helen rolled her eyes, and Peter found that at that moment, Helen's expression was very similar to Loki's, and they were simply carved from the same mold.

Thinking about Helen's complicated background, Peter felt that he should not be too entangled in the reason for Helen's birth. Thinking about it too much, it would be easy to break his worldview.

Helen thought for a moment, then said, "If I can use this energy, it means that you can certainly use it, but maybe because you haven't learned magic, you don't know how to use it... How about this, I teach you magic, how about that?" Helen looked at Peter, who stared at her and said, "I can try to learn, but I'm not sure if I can learn it."

"We can try it first." Helen said, "Close your eyes, start meditating, and be sure to concentrate and weave a pattern in your mind, the outside of which is a circle..."

Peter did as she said, and after a while, he found that a human figure appeared in his vision, which seemed to be his own figure.

"That's your soul, see? If you keep this state and control the figure you see to leave your body, you can do soul wandering... But it's better not to do this, it will consume a lot of soul strength and make people feel very tired."

"Is this all Mr. Loki... Miss... or Mr.? Did he tell you?" Peter asked out loud.

"Yes." Helen replied, and then she continued: "Okay, next, focus your attention on your soul and start observing if there is anything unusual..."

"Abnormal?" Peter concentrated his attention and tried hard to observe, and then he found that a faint golden thread surrounded his soul. Without Helen's reminder, Peter's consciousness began to follow this golden thread.

He felt as if he had passed through a barrier, and vaguely, he saw a group of black shadows crossing the sky.

When he was about to concentrate and take a closer look, the terrifying black tide submerged him. Peter was awakened and broke into a cold sweat. Helen moved her short legs and ran to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water for Peter, handed it to him, and said: "Did you see something terrible?"

Peter nodded with lingering fear, but Helen said: "It's okay, this is normal. When you communicate with some mysterious power, the images you see are not necessarily positive. Can you remember what you saw?"

Although Peter didn't want to recall the scene just now, he still tried to think, and then said: "I saw a group of black shadows... Not human, a bit like some kind of animal..."

"Animals?" Helen said: "I don't know much about animals. What kind of animal on Earth do you think it is more like?"

Peter thought very hard and said seriously: "Bats... They are bats."
