Marvel: Little Genius - Chapter: 413 (Patreon)

Word had spread like wildfire, and Mark's decision to leave a backup of his soul and the imminent resurrection had become common knowledge, if not worldwide, at least among the Avengers, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, and the warriors of Wakanda.

Captain led a group of superheroes to the top-floor laboratory of the Mark Research Center, eagerly anticipating the final outcome of this experiment. Wong and Mordo represented all the mystic sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, while Okoye represented the entire Wakandan kingdom. Both sides had traveled from afar to witness this moment.

It had been a long time since this group of superheroes had come together after parting ways five years ago. They reunited as old friends, but there was no sense of estrangement or awkwardness in the atmosphere.

However, they didn't rush into catching up or discussing recent events. Instead, they all focused their attention on the experiment being conducted by Tony and Baymax. In fact, the onlookers were even more nervous than Tony and Baymax, who were directly involved in the operation.

Outside the laboratory, Ant-Man Scott approached with a large box, without bothering to exchange greetings with his old friends. He squeezed through the crowd and handed the box to Baymax.

"All the quantum realm energy I collected is in this box. I don't know if it's enough for you, but I couldn't stand the mental torture of being in the quantum realm any longer!"

With these words, Ant-Man exited the central area where Tony and Baymax were conducting the experiment and joined Captain and the others. Indeed, despite his preparation, the quantum realm was still a harrowing experience for him.

Baymax looked at Scott, who had already collapsed on the floor, thanked him, and then returned his focus to the preparation and calibration of the experiment.

...

"Mr. Stark, I'm almost done with the preparations on my end. How's the progress on your side?"

"My end is still in the process of manufacturing the Vibranium nanospheres and nanometal particles. It will take some time to complete. However, I'm confident about creating the exoskeleton for Mark. You can proceed with the soul transformation into an intelligent life form. I believe I can finish building the exoskeleton while Mark's soul fully recovers."

In his own field of expertise, Tony was quite confident. He made this promise to Baymax without any hesitation and immediately changed the entire experiment procedure to start the official test.

In fact, once Mark's soul completed its transformation into an intelligent life form, even if Tony's exoskeleton construction didn't go as planned, Mark could stay within Earth's magical network for a while, a rare opportunity to live with Baymax.

"Alright, I'll start the experiment on my end first. First step—activating the soul backup left by the owner!"

Baymax opened the large box Scott had given him, neatly lined with nine special metal containers. Despite their inconspicuous appearance, these small objects were genuine high-tech products.

Through compression and negative pressure technology, they could store a significant amount of quantum realm energy, making them small in size but big in energy.

To ensure the purity of the quantum realm energy stored in the containers, a superconducting electromagnetic coil was arranged around the container walls, forming a stable force field to prevent the quantum realm energy particles from directly contacting the metal interior of the containers.

Looking at the nine containers inside the box, if Scott filled them all, there would certainly be enough energy for this experiment.

The quantum realm energy was then extracted from the containers and transported into the transmission device. The first step, activating Mark's soul will, was about to begin.

Hiss! The device started, and the quantum realm energy was transported to the loading platform through the pipeline with an electromagnetic force field, similar to the previous step of verifying the existence of a backup in the soul medium carrier.

However, the following operation was different. This time, the quantum realm energy wouldn't directly act on the medium carrier but would affect the soul backup left by Mark inside it. To do this effectively, they needed some other cutting-edge technologies.

Around the energy shield of the loading platform, Baymax arranged four antenna-like devices, positioned at the front, back, left, and right sides.

These antenna-like devices were actually large-scale biochemical gas dispensers invented by HYDRA, with their core functional structure being the nano-energy wave generator.

If the quantum realm energy was the arrow, and the soul backup in the medium carrier was the target, then the nano-energy wave generator was the longbow capable of aiming and releasing the arrow accurately.

Baymax adjusted the strength of the nano-energy waves in the four coordinates to precisely guide the quantum realm energy, increasing the probability of it accurately affecting the target areas.

However, the entire reaction process occurred in the microcosm, so the only direct sensation the people on-site could experience was the humming of various machines in the laboratory. There were no earth-shattering or ghostly reactions whatsoever.

The only ones in the room who could perceive the changes in this process were Mordo and Wong. They had already projected their souls as soon as the experiment began because to carefully observe Mark's soul backup, they needed to enter the astral world to see with soul vision.

While projecting their souls, Mordo and Wong were amazed by the truly astonishing scene that unfolded during the experiment. In their eyes, the astral world initially had only faint glimmers when the experiment started. However, as time passed, with the continuous consumption of quantum realm energy, the light in the astral world became increasingly dazzling until it converged into a virtual figure!

This figure was very familiar to both of them, the Sanctum Guardian they had fought alongside and deeply respected—Mark Stark.

"This is Mark's soul! They've actually succeeded in activating Mark's soul backup!" Wong exclaimed as he watched the scene before him, hugging Mordo's soul with excitement and shaking him.

Mordo was also surprised by what he saw but felt that Mark's actions were a sacrilege against the natural order, stirring up an inexplicable emotion within him. He quietly buried this emotion deep in his soul and did not respond to Wong's excitement and enthusiasm. Instead, he continued to frown and silently observed what happened next.

As the quantum realm energy continued to be injected, the initially ethereal soul shadow began to solidify. In fact, in terms of soul strength, it had already surpassed Wong and Mordo, who were observing nearby. However, even so, Mark's soul still did not wake up.

His soul was exceptionally powerful, having undergone multiple technological enhancements and learned magic. To fully activate the soul backup left by Mark required a tremendous amount of quantum realm energy.

Fortunately, the capacity of the quantum realm energy collected by Scott this time was just enough. Just as the quantum realm energy in the transporter was about to run out, Wong and Mordo saw Mark's soul backup finally open his eyes.

However, now a question arose: was this backup truly Mark?
