Strange opened his mouth wide and stepped forward and said: "This...how can you still take it off? Is it an entity? Isn't it a halo made of energy?"
Schiller handed him the aperture smoothly, but Scranqi didn't dare to take it. He took a closer look and found that the aperture was indeed tangible. The light around the aperture was very rich, but in the center part,
Instead, the light weakened, like a ring light strip.
Stark took the aperture from Schiller's hand. He weighed it in his hand and found that it was not heavy. It weighed about the same as vibranium of the same size.
There is no texture to the touch, as if the temperature and roughness are exactly the same as the surface of the finger. Although it is holding something, it seems like there is nothing.
"What is this? What did you use to make it?" said the aperture that Stark checked repeatedly: "Its properties are somewhat magical, and the material does not seem to be any known metal..."
Schiller cleared his throat and said:
"Just a few days ago, I offered a sacrifice to God that he was very satisfied with, and asked me to visit heaven, but unfortunately, he rejected me."
"At this time, I could only retreat to the next best thing, hoping to receive God's blessing, but He refused again. Of course, I was unwilling to ask for more from the greatest and most merciful Savior, so I got an angel.
identity of."
Schiller snapped his fingers, and the aperture returned to his head. Stark didn't see how it moved at all, and he didn't even feel when it disappeared from his hand.
Schiller took the aperture off his head again and said: "Obviously, I am now a glorious angel, and my status is not low, similar to the seven archangels. God praises me very much.
Therefore, this halo is also special..."
Stark and Strange stood there, staring at Schiller in exactly the same posture, that is, holding their arms, leaning back, with an expression on their faces: "Did he not take his medicine this morning?"
.
"If you don't want to tell the truth, you can just shut up and don't make up such stories." Strange shook his head and said, "If people like you can go to heaven, I will burn the Bible when I get back."
"I didn't go to heaven." Schiller said, turning the aperture with his finger: "I just obtained the residence in heaven and this aperture."
Stark was more pragmatic. He looked at Schiller and said, "Okay, that tall tale aside, what can this halo do?"
"It can light up!"
After speaking, Schiller showed it to Stark and Strange.
He held the halo, and after a pause, soft light filled the entire laboratory, making the place brighter.
The aperture is not a light source. The light is not generated around the aperture, but appears evenly throughout the room, making it look very bright.
"What else?" Stark asked next.
"Uh... it can zoom in and out." After saying that, Schiller showed it again. He held the aperture. In an instant, the aperture became the size of a hula hoop, and then it became as big as half a room.
high.
Then, the aperture began to shrink again, until it was too small to be seen. Schiller continued: "And, I can take it back anywhere, just a thought, and it will come back to my head."
"Very good, any more?" Strange then asked.
"Hmm..." Schiller thought for dozens of seconds before saying, "Maybe, it's very hard."
"Please, is this the angel halo you are talking about that God gave you? Apart from being a light bulb, able to zoom in and out, anti-theft and very hard, does it have no other functions?" Stark looked at Schiller with wide eyes.
asked.
"Isn't it? Don't tell me that you spent a lot of effort to get this? Normally, shouldn't this kind of thing have some functions such as holy light spells and blessings?"
After Strange finished speaking, he walked up directly. Schiller took the aperture off his head and handed it to Strange.
Strange studied it and found that this aperture really had no other function. He used magic energy to activate it, but this thing was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy was filled in, there was no reaction, and the energy put into it was also unresponsive.
Can't take it out.
As for the attributes of holy light, healing, and blessing, they all have none. No matter how hard you try, it will just stay there quietly.
Stark and Strange looked at the aperture, both speechless. Stark shook his head and said: "This is the most useless thing that has appeared on you so far, really."
Strange nodded with deep understanding.
In their view, everything that appears on Schiller is necessary. The symbiote gray mist provides him with extremely powerful maneuverability and can prevent many dangers. The umbrella is made of very magical materials.
It can be used as a weapon and can defend against long-range attacks.
Only this halo has no use other than these basic abilities, and it looks really abrupt.
However, Schiller seemed to like this aperture very much.
Strange shook his head, unable to understand the madman's thoughts at all. As for the story Schiller told, neither Strange nor Stark took it seriously. When Schiller didn't want to tell the truth, he would
Making up all kinds of outrageous stories is their consensus.
"Okay, let's test the functions you mentioned." Stark took the aperture and said.
At this moment, Bruce Banner walked in, turned around and closed the door, and said: Tony, the data you want may not be available until next week... Oh, you are all here, what are you doing here?
Also, why do we need to turn on so many lights in the laboratory?"
Banner looked around the entire laboratory. It was much brighter than usual. He smiled and said: "I hope my laboratory can have such conditions. One of the ceiling lights in my laboratory is broken, and it hasn't happened yet."
Fix it."
"It's okay, Dr. Banner, I'll fix it for you later." Schiller turned around and said. Stark snorted, rolled his eyes, and said, "You don't think that just because you can twist a light bulb, you can do it."
Fix the overhead light in the lab?"
Schiller glanced at him sideways and said nothing. Banner walked up, pointed at the aperture in Stark's hand and said, "What is this? Is it your new invention?"
"It's the result of this psychiatrist's delusion... Forget it, Bruce, you came just in time, let's test what properties this strange aperture has."
When the two physics geniuses got together, Strange and Schiller were no longer allowed to speak. Soon, they launched a series of experiments and successfully tested the special features of this aperture.
The first is the first function, which is to emit light. Stark discovered that the light from this aperture does not follow physical properties and cannot be refracted, but it can appear anywhere.
This kind of light has no light source, but will suddenly light up within a range of about 50 meters. It is a bit like raising the brightness of a picture, and all objects within the field of view will become brighter.
No building can block it. Within the range covered by the light, there are no shadows and everything is bright.
There is nothing to say about the second function of zooming in and out, except that the speed of zooming in and out is very slow and cannot be used as a weapon through rapid expansion.
The weight will change with enlargement and reduction, but there is no way to detect the density. At the same time, the limit of reduction exceeds the microscopic limit that humans can observe, so it is impossible to judge how small it can be reduced.
As for the return function, as Strange said, it is just an anti-theft function. No matter where the aperture is, Schiller can recall it at any time, ignoring space and the environment, but the place of return is on his head.
.
In this regard, Stark also conducted other tests and found that the aperture could only stay above Schiller's head. Even if anyone else got the aperture, the aperture would not automatically float above their heads. Only Schiller could do this.
can do it.
The most critical thing is the hardness. Currently, all the known metals owned by Stark Laboratory cannot shake it.
Vibranium, Edman alloy, molten steel and other rare and expensive metals have not been found to have higher hardness performance after collision tests.
Stark fixed the aperture to a machine, which held the aperture from the inside and began to rotate at high speed.
The aperture slowly approached a piece of Edman metal, and then cut through it like butter.
Schiller nodded with satisfaction and said, "At least, it can be used as a knife, right?"
Stark and Banner shook their heads together and sighed. Schiller looked at them, and Banner explained: "We have more efficient ways to cut similar metals, and there is an urgent need to improve efficiency today.
, if there is no way to mass-produce this material, it is meaningless.”
Schiller sighed and said, "Well, it seems that's it."
"Wait, can't it be taken out and used as a weapon?" Strange asked.
"That's the weird thing about it. In some aspects, it doesn't follow the laws of physics at all, but in some aspects, it follows the laws of physics too much." Stark took off the aperture and threw it away.
The aperture fell to the ground and made a "clang" sound. After shaking on the ground for a few times, it stopped there. Stark said: "Look, how much damage it can produce mainly depends on the force of throwing it.
"
"During flight, it has no acceleration of its own. Even if we can provide it with acceleration, why should we do that? The harder the warhead, the better..."
"Simply put, this is a brick harder than anything else." Banner summed it up very succinctly.
After confirmation by multiple experts, there is indeed nothing too special about this aperture. Schiller guessed that these attributes may only be caused by certain religious images and the act of crossing the world.
When the group was about to disperse, Schiller turned to Banner and said, "Let's go, Dr. Banner. I'm still more concerned about your laboratory ceiling light. Of course, I'm also concerned about your mental state. Your other personality is fine."
?"
"I was just about to talk to you about this. He has undergone some changes recently. I don't know how to describe it..."
"It's okay, let's go to your laboratory and talk slowly."
Schiller and Banner drove to Banner's laboratory. As soon as they entered the laboratory, Schiller discovered that the lights here were indeed dim, and one of the overhead lights fixed on the ceiling did not light up.
Schiller turned into gray mist and flew up, began to repair the ceiling lamp, and at the same time asked Banner about his mental condition. However, when Schiller turned into gray mist, the aperture still floated above his head, and he had not yet fully adapted to his head.
There is a halo on top.
Schiller controlled the gray mist to move upwards. The mist did not cause any damage to the ceiling, but the very hard halo was directly embedded in the ceiling.
With a "click", Schiller knocked a hole in the ceiling. At the same time, the ceiling lamp he was repairing above his head and the three lights around him were instantly extinguished.
Looking at the darker laboratory, Schiller rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Banner, your lamp may... but it doesn't matter..."
As he spoke, he reached out, took off the halo of light above his head, gave it to Banner, and then said: "Since it was this halo that broke your lamp, let it provide the lighting tonight."
As he spoke, Schiller snapped his fingers, and instantly, the laboratory became extremely bright.
After Schiller walked out of the room, Banner looked at the aperture and shook his head in confusion.
