Chapter 31: TS VIII
Tony looked at Dave, still processing the explanation. "How exactly will it enhance me?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Dave took a moment before responding. "It'll keep enhancing your body with demonic energy," he said, his voice calm but serious.
Tony raised an eyebrow. "Demonic energy?" he repeated, skepticism creeping into his tone.
"Yeah, this," Dave replied, raising his hand. A crimson fog-like aura appeared in his palm, swirling ominously.
Tony recoiled slightly, eyeing the crimson fog with suspicion. "You know, that looks sinister, and I'm not really keen on having that inside me," he remarked, eyeing it warily.
Dave chuckled, shaking his head. "You're misunderstanding. If I directly poured it into you, yeah, you'd probably end up a puppet with no emotions, controlled by the power," he explained. "But the armor doesn't work like that. It will enhance your body temporarily with the energy, reinforcing your strength and durability, then retract it once it's done. Think of it like breaking your body down and rebuilding it—only faster and stronger each time."
Tony nodded slowly, still wrapping his mind around the concept. "So it's like... controlled destruction and reconstruction, enhancing me bit by bit."
"Exactly," Dave affirmed.
"What else it could do?" Tony then asked.
"Its ever-evolving," Dave explained, "so, for example, if you build a new piece of tech or weapon, the armor will absorb it, fuse with it, and enhance itself."
Tony raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "So, if I give it something like lasers, it'll absorb that, and I can use them?"
