Marvel: The Silver-Haired Hacker and Her Mecha Fleet

Chapter 82 82: The Bermuda Host Tower and a Visit from the Sorcerer Supreme



The final bell rang at Midtown High. Mira slung her backpack over one shoulder and slipped away through the back alleys while Peter distracted the usual crowd of excited classmates and persistent reporters at the gate. A quick flick of her fingers opened a deep blue spatial rift at her apartment door. She stepped through, and the noise of New York vanished.

She emerged into the Mirror Sea.

The vast, mirror-smooth ocean reflected a digital night sky formed from flowing streams of data. Countless fragments of blue light drifted like stars, giving the space a cold, majestic Siren Empire aesthetic.

At the center of this hidden dimension stood an enormous black-metal tower, soaring over eight hundred meters into the sky. Vein-like energy channels pulsed across its surface with deep blue data streams, radiating immense power that made the surrounding space tremble.

This was Mira's personal Arbitration-class host tower—built in secret within a dimensional pocket in the Bermuda Triangle. After returning from Asgard, she and Compiler had worked nonstop, using knowledge stolen from the Royal Library to optimize its core architecture.

"Awesome!" Mira landed on the platform at the tower's base and spread her arms wide. A massive surge of computing power flooded into her core systems. She let out a satisfied sigh as long-restricted abilities finally broke free.

Her material reconstruction range now covered the entire Mirror Sea. Spatial teleportation could lock onto galactic coordinates with pinpoint accuracy. Even her most powerful attacks—Absolute Zero and Electromagnetic Annihilation—could be deployed without risking overload.

"The host tower core is stable," Compiler's voice announced. Her figure materialized beside Mira, pale golden eyes flickering with data. "Current release rate is 12%, with 88% redundancy. It can support full ability deployment and simultaneous control of up to one hundred thousand mass-produced units."

Compiler had worked through multiple all-nighters to make this possible. Mira grinned and reached out to ruffle the shorter girl's white hair.

"I told you it was worth it! Our Civil Engineering White-Hair is the best. I'll treat you to an extra chicken leg later!"

Compiler slapped her hand away with a flat expression, though a faint vein throbbed on her forehead. "Do not call me that again. Chicken legs provide no nutritional value to Siren bodies." Despite the complaint, she leaned slightly closer, quietly boosting the tower's redundancy a few more percentage points.

Mira was about to tease her further when Compiler suddenly froze.

"Warning. High-intensity spatial fluctuations detected at the Mirror Sea boundary. An unknown intruder has breached the defensive barrier—"

"Right next to us," Mira finished calmly. She pulled Compiler behind her protectively. A gentle but overwhelmingly powerful magical aura filled the air—distinct from Siren spatial magic, yet precise enough to pierce their dimensional defenses.

Only one person could manage that.

A glowing circle of golden sparks bloomed in front of them, revealing the familiar wooden halls of Kamar-Taj. The Ancient One stepped through, dressed in her signature yellow robes, brass Sling Ring glinting on her hand. She carried the same serene, knowing smile as always.

Her gaze swept across the towering structure with quiet admiration before settling on Mira, who was still shielding Compiler like a mother cat guarding her kitten.

Mira immediately put on an exaggerated scowl. "I knew it. You never visit without a reason, old fogey. Let's get one thing straight—this Civil Engineering White-Hair is mine. Don't even think about recruiting her. And I haven't blown anything up on Earth lately, so don't start with the Dormammu lecture."

The Ancient One chuckled softly at their defensive stances. "Relax. I have no intention of taking her from you."

She tilted her head, eyes sparkling with amusement. "I simply came to ask… did you enjoy your time in Asgard? King Odin went so far as to send a message through the World Tree. He wanted to know more about this 'Siren Observer from another universe.'"

Mira's mouth twitched. That old fox. Smiling to her face while quietly digging for information behind her back.

"He only said you are an honored friend of Asgard," the Ancient One continued, "and asked me to keep an eye on you. He was also quite curious about this 'Enemy X' your empire fears."

Mira didn't take the bait. The Leviathans were a core secret. She hugged Compiler tighter. "Alright, enough small talk. What do you actually want?"

The Sorcerer Supreme's smile deepened. "There is something. Your superior, Observer Zero, appears to have… dropped something in New York."

Mira blinked. "Dropped what?"

"It seems to be a 'Purifier' from your Experimental Agency. Her spatial coordinates were off. She arrived directly at the front steps of the New York Sanctum, nearly shattering the protective barriers."

Mira stared in disbelief. "…You're joking."

"I brought her inside for safety before S.H.I.E.L.D. could find her. She's currently resting. Come by the Sanctum whenever you're ready to retrieve her."

Mira rubbed her forehead, groaning. "That unreliable big-eyed schemer… How do you misplace someone by thirty thousand kilometers?!"

Compiler chimed in flatly, "Purifier's spatial calibration error rate averages 42%. This deviation is within normal parameters."

The Ancient One laughed lightly. "She's stable now. I used magic to help her recover. Take your time."

Mira forced a smile. "Thanks for the save, old fogey. I'll pick her up soon."

As the Sorcerer Supreme prepared to leave, she added one last gentle warning. "New York will grow turbulent soon. Hammer Industries, Osborn's experiments, and things hiding in the shadows are all stirring. Your presence has already shifted the timeline. Try not to break anything too important."

Mira gave her a confident thumbs-up. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

The Ancient One smiled knowingly. "If you ever wish to study magic, the doors of Kamar-Taj are always open." With that, she stepped through the golden portal and vanished.

Mira let out a long breath and slumped onto the platform. "Zero really screwed me over this time. Now I have to go face that old fogey again at the Sanctum."

Compiler looked down at her. "Purifier will reduce my workload by roughly 50%. I recommend retrieving her tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah." Mira sat up, a sly spark returning to her eyes. "I'll go…"

Deep blue data streams continued to flow peacefully across the Mirror Sea as the host tower hummed with power. The technological might of the Siren Empire was quietly taking root in this universe.
