Marvel: I Trade Devil Fruits for Power

Dismantle!

Rebuild!

With Logan's help, Tony's villa was reduced to a complete mess.

When it came to raw destructive power, Tony without his armor was nothing compared to Logan.

Logan.

A true… tool man.

Every day, countless ordered items were delivered to the villa.

Afterward, they were all transformed into experimental equipment in the basement.

After spending a considerable amount of time, the place was finally fully remodeled.

Tony looked at the massive new element fabrication device before him, his face full of excitement.

"Next is the critical moment—whether this will succeed or not."

Tony eagerly switched on the experiment.

"Bzz~~"

"Bzz~~"

A powerful electric current surged through the entire machine.

A highly accelerated electron beam began to be slowly adjusted in angle by Tony.

"Ssshhh~~~"

"Ssshhh~~~"

Wherever the electron beam passed, everything was destroyed.

"Bzz~~~"

At last, the beam converged on the elemental collection ring at the center of the device.

The intense energy caused the ring to shine with a dazzling brilliance.

"Bzz~~~"

In a flash of light, Tony shut off the beam.

At that moment, a triangular elemental ring appeared before them.

Stable.

Radiant.

"Mr. Stark, congratulations. You have created a new element."

JARVIS's mechanical voice sounded.

Tony placed the triangular new element energy ring into the Arc Reactor.

"Begin testing the effects of the new element."

"Yes, sir."

JARVIS took over the subsequent data collection.

This time, Tony wasn't in a rush to replace his current Arc Reactor with the new one.

Because… he still had time.

"Qin, can this new element really cure palladium poisoning?"

At this moment, Tony actually felt a bit uneasy.

He had put in a lot of effort—if this failed, it would be a serious blow.

"Whether it works or not, we'll know after the tests are done.

But don't worry. This is a gift your father left for you. You should trust that it will work."

Qin Xiao offered a brief reassurance.

In truth, if Tony were a bit more reckless, he would've already replaced the reactor with one powered by the new element.

Natasha watched everything in front of her with astonishment.

Tony had really created a new element?

Right under her nose.

She had been reporting Tony's daily progress to Nick Fury.

In her first report, she had also mentioned that she herself had adapted to a Devil Fruit.

However, this time she hadn't obtained the name of the Devil Fruit.

Now, after so many days of reconstruction, they had truly succeeded in creating a new element!

Natasha clearly understood the significance of this.

Especially since this element could serve as the energy source for an Arc Reactor.

This would trigger a global reshuffling of energy systems.

It would also cause a considerable shock in both the fields of chemistry and physics.

Most importantly, Tony had created this new element with the help of this "Eastern Demon Envoy."

That would only deepen Tony's trust in him.

And that would make many things more troublesome.

Looks like tonight's report to Nick Fury would have a lot more content.

"Tony, you can continue your experiments at your own pace. I'm heading to New Mexico. If anything comes up, come find me there."

Qin Xiao said his goodbye directly.

"What are you going there for?"

"Do you remember what I mentioned some time ago? A hammer falling from the sky. The location is there—I'm going to check it out in advance."

Qin Xiao didn't hide it. In fact, he said it on purpose.

He wanted this information to reach Nick Fury through the Black Widow.

He even wanted to attract more S.H.I.E.L.D. agents there.

He was curious to see if any of them would be suitable for Devil Fruits.

"Alright, got it. I suppose you don't need me to give you a ride.

Once the test results for the new element come out, if everything looks good, I might head over too.

I want to see what's so important that it caught your attention."

Tony was now extremely curious about whatever might appear there.

"Sure. I'll be waiting."

After speaking, Qin Xiao raised his hand and opened a portal.

A somewhat desolate small town appeared on the other side.

"Logan, let's go."

The two of them stepped through the portal.

As it disappeared, Tony's attention returned to the new element.

Natasha, standing to the side, felt a bit awkward.

No one was paying attention to her.

…

"Qin, what are we doing next?"

Logan looked at the desolate town, completely unsure why Qin Xiao had come here.

"Next? We wait."

The two checked into a motel.

Time passed.

"Boom~~~"

In the distant wasteland, immense power suddenly gathered between heaven and earth.

"Boom~"

A flash of light streaked across, and the world returned to calm.

Inside the motel, Qin Xiao's lips curled into a smile.

"Looks like the wait wasn't in vain. Logan, time to get to work."
