Chapter 14, Artificial Devil Fruit Imitation Tests
The magical works of science fiction instruments did not surprise the three of them. Over the past few decades, Vegapunk's laboratory has become something that even Lovett can't understand. This scene has long been commonplace.
Sitting on the soft boss chair, Lovett picked up the coffee handed by Pepper Pepper and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. Is your depression getting better, big baby?"
Aka almost couldn't hold back.
He could swear that the malice in the title Master was not as simple as it sounded!
But Tony didn't mind, and smiled sadly: "Probably, in fact, I don't think I have depression."
"I don't want you to think, I just want what I feel."
Tony: "???"
"Just kidding, don't mind."
Tony's whole body felt bad.
He looked at each other and asked, "So, Mr. Black Earl, why did you come to see me today?"
No one knew the terror of the man in front of them better than the Avengers who were in the center of the battlefield that day.
The Chitauri army seemed to be repelled by them, but in fact the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council knew that it was the Ancient One and the man in front of them who scared each other off.
Scare off an alien army?
It sounds like a fantasy.
Tony couldn't figure out, was there anything in him that could attract the other party's attention?
Mark series armor is definitely not an option.
Even he himself is not confident to this extent.
so……
"Yes, you guessed it right." At this time, Lovett saw directly into his soul and said with a smile.
"The only thing I like about you is your clever little brain."
"And the Stark Group in your hands can save me a lot of time."
As he spoke, Lovett raised his palm.
Hiss, hiss...
Lines of black mist flew from nowhere and condensed a few centimeters above the palms of the hands. The temperature in the villa dropped suddenly, making the two of them feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.
But Tony keenly noticed that Jarvis, as the artificial intelligence butler, did not increase the temperature of the air conditioner, indicating that the surrounding temperature was still normal in the monitoring instrument.
However, Jarvis still noticed something unusual about the two of them and asked: "Sir, your and Ms. Pepper's body temperatures are dropping and their blood flow rate is slowing down. Do you need emergency medical treatment?"
"No... no need." Tony gritted his teeth and held Pepper in his arms to help her warm her body.
"Just help us turn the temperature up a little."
"...I will monitor your physical condition at all times."
After saying that, Jarvis turned up the air conditioner temperature and stopped disturbing him.
Fortunately, just as Tony guessed, Lovett did not want to freeze their souls. After thousands of thick fogs gathered into one ball, their body temperature quickly returned to normal levels.
Tony pulled his collar: "Okay, Jarvis, you can lower the temperature."
"...I suggest you see a psychiatrist, sir."
"Shut up!"
After arguing with the computer in shame and anger, Tony curiously looked at the black light group slowly hovering like a nebula in Lovett's palm: "Uh, Your Excellency, the Black Earl, this is..."
"Artificial devil fruit imitation test product."
"Artificial...imitation...test object?" Tony was stunned for a moment.
Although I don’t know what a devil fruit is.
But the name sounds a bit completely fake!
However, Lovett didn't care and said: "Mr. Jarvis, I need a piece of fruit, no matter the type, just a complete one."
"Okay, Your Excellency."
Tony had already casually entered some codes into Jarvis before Lovett entered the door, and the latter immediately made a rational judgment.
Not long after, an apple was transported from the kitchen upstairs to the laboratory downstairs with the help of a robotic arm. Lovett raised his hand to lift it up, letting the bright red apple fall into his palm.
Then he put his hands together.
Whoosh!
The black light suddenly seemed to have found a way out and rushed towards the apple. After a while, it disappeared. When the black light was submerged, Lovett threw the apple on the coffee table and raised three fingers.
Then bend it back.
Bend it back again.
Finally returns to zero.
But the big movement that Tony expected did not occur. As the countdown ended, microwaves rippled on the surface of the apple like water ripples. Without wind or waves, circles of cloud patterns emerged from the microwaves and quickly solidified on the surface.
When I looked at it again, the apple no longer looked like an apple at all, and I would be laughed at by my uncles and aunts in my family as a weirdo.
The overlapping cloud patterns are close to each other, reminiscent of a mountainous terrain. The size is enlarged by about one-fifth and the luster is dim.
The Devil Fruit is the cell of a master, and the fruit factors are the basic particles that make up the cells. The basic particles originate from the laws mastered by that master, which is a condition that Lovett does not have.
He did not master the laws at all, nor did he create new laws.
To say there is, there are only three adjectives: distortion and destruction, plus darkness, which is the best thing.
The artificial Devil Fruit also does not change the origin of its birth, but disperses the fruit factors and injects them into too many fruits. The effectiveness is weakened and there is even a chance that it will not be able to form a complete individual in the host body.
Therefore, he does not have the conditions to make it.
But excluding the application of laws, creating fake devil fruit is not a problem for him.
On the contrary, because there is no application of laws involved, artificial Devil Fruit counterfeits are actually more realistic.
At least Lovett is sure that his rubber fruit will be burned by the thunder fruit!
"It looks... quite like a demon, that kind of red and ferocious flesh and blood mask."
When he met new things, the uneasiness and anxiety in Tony's eyes were significantly reduced, and he couldn't help but ask: "What effect does it have?"
"Gives the person who eats it superpowers, and uses his own life force to drive and water it. Of course, as rent, the soul will belong to me after death, and he will not go to heaven or hell."
The informative answer made Tony tighten his crotch instantly.
"What an evil fruit!"
"Is this the origin of 'Devil Fruit'?"
"That's right." Lovett smiled.
"So how about we play a game. Use your smart factory to help me cultivate this fruit, and you come up with ways to stop me from taking over the world. Of course, I won't do it myself. Your opponents are only those with abilities."
Tony was suddenly startled, and cold sweat soaked his back!
"Tony?!" Pepper immediately grabbed Tony's arm with an anxious look on his face.
Europeans and Americans are more willing to let go of their feelings, and Pepper's concern for Tony has never changed.
Even if their relationship is not confirmed at this time, they still have colleagues and friendship.
But Tony did not comfort her immediately. He forced himself to calm down and smiled reluctantly: "I don't understand... Mr. Black Earl, is there any point in doing this?"
This is a threat, for sure.
But of no value.
What good does it do him to allow himself to defeat an enemy of his own making?
"This is not a reward, big baby...but a deal." Lovett leaned back in his chair.
"If you put in the effort, you should be rewarded."
"Your fear and uneasiness stem from your own weakness. Your desire for power will make you lost and even lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. The same is true for those who take the initiative to eat them. They are greedy for power and their souls are muddy... You are
The same kind of people, defeat them, defeat your own inner demons."
"It's like a trial."
"And the earth is just one of my testing grounds."
The two of them suddenly felt numb as they understood each other's intentions.
