After Feini left, Gu Yi closed her deep, piercing eyes and let out a soft sigh. Due to Feini's special circumstances, she could no longer accurately predict her own destiny as she had before.
So, she began to use another method to try and free herself. On one hand, she followed her original trajectory, waiting for the future Supreme Master. On the other hand, she felt that Feini's growth was almost complete and decided to let him try to resist the dimensional invasion.
Coincidentally, Pantha was a good choice, with considerable strength but not too much danger.
As for Feini, the matter of the black panther goddess Pantha had also given him a sense of urgency, making him even more determined to extract his sixth skill.
Although he was also aware that Gu Yi would not put him in a situation where he would be sent to his death, he still felt some unease and wanted to improve his strength as much as possible.
After so much effort, he was only one step away from his sixth extraction, and he expected to be able to extract it by the end of the month at the latest.
After more than four months of renovation, the Stark Tower had been rebuilt and once again became a landmark building in the Manhattan area.
As a result, Tony was ready to formally invite Banner to join his company.
"I've reserved a special laboratory for you on the top floor."
Tony looked at the hesitant Banner and extended an enthusiastic invitation: "And there are accompanying entertainment facilities, a restaurant, and a rest area. Nothing you can think of is unavailable."
"But, Tony, you know that I could lose control at any time. I'm like an unstable bomb."
Banner smiled wryly.
The more Tony treated him kindly, the more he felt he couldn't accept it, fearing he would harm Tony.
Although he had been living peacefully with the Hulk during this time, even enjoying the most peaceful and harmonious period in history, he couldn't guarantee it would always be this way.
If something unexpected happened and he failed to control his emotions, the mere appearance of the Hulk could bring irreversible consequences to the Stark Corporation.
"Don't worry, with that kid around, what's there to fear?"
Tony glanced at Feini, who was idly standing by, and continued: "Besides, we have a trump card. You should have some confidence in yourself."
"Wait, I think I heard something about a trump card!?"
Feini curiously intervened, asking Tony: "Has the anti-Hulk research been successful? Has it been tested?"
"I don't mind helping you test it!"
In order to obtain his sixth skill as soon as possible, Feini didn't want to miss any opportunity. So, after just a few days, he came to find Banner again, asking him to let the Hulk out to fight.
"It's almost ready, just a little technical issue left to resolve."
Tony looked at Feini, whose 'anti-Feini armor' had been under research, but it was always lagging behind Feini's progress.
Especially after recently learning about Feini's 'Devil's Bind' and its 'physical resistance,' Tony was eager to take the armor off Feini and study it to understand how it worked.
"Oh, that's done. Remember to notify me as soon as possible."
Feini let out a disappointed sigh and urged the hesitant Banner: "Just agree, I've talked to the Hulk. As long as it's not unavoidable, he'll try not to appear."
Banner looked at Feini without saying a word, knowing that Feini wasn't lying. After all, he also shared some of the Hulk's memories.
When he first learned that the Hulk had been defeated, he couldn't believe it. Although he hated the Hulk, in his heart, the Hulk was almost an invincible existence, and he had never thought that someone could defeat him.
It wasn't until he experienced it a few more times that he accepted the fact that the Hulk could be defeated. At the same time, he gained more confidence in Feini, the young and incredibly powerful magician.
He believed that Feini would resolve the issue between him and the Hulk and give him a peaceful life.
"I'll bother you again in the future, then."
In the end, Banner agreed to Tony's invitation, although he was mostly thinking about continuing to live a peaceful life.
Seeing Banner agree, Tony was delighted and raised an eyebrow. He then looked at Feini, who had helped with the conversation, and asked: "To celebrate the doctor's joining, I'm planning to host a party in a few days. Would you like to come?"
"No need to go to such trouble!"
Feini hadn't responded before Banner spoke up from the side, as he had always avoided crowded places since having the Hulk and didn't dare to attend a party.
"You wouldn't want me to wear the armor to the party, would you?"
Feini shrugged and shook his head in refusal.
Seeing the two men being so unenthusiastic, Tony rolled his eyes and didn't insist further. He sat down on the sofa and asked Feini: "How come you've been thinking about fighting these days?"
Upon hearing Tony's question, Feini let out a sigh and replied: "I accidentally offended a goddess, and she might bring trouble. So, I need to boost my strength as soon as possible."
"A goddess!?"
Tony's expression turned serious, and he continued to ask: "Is it one of the Asgardians you mentioned earlier?"
"No, it's a different goddess. I don't know what kind of being she is."
Feini shook his head, honestly saying that he didn't know anything about the black panther goddess Pantha. In his past life, there was no storyline about her, so he was being extra cautious when facing this unknown enemy.
"How did you offend this goddess?"
Tony looked at Feini, unable to help but think about the time they first met. It was unlikely that Feini had gone to someone's house and been discovered, just like him, right?
Tony didn't know that the situation was indeed what he had thought.
Feini opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain, and let out a sigh. He waved his hand and said: "It was just a small incident. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Although he didn't understand Pantha well, he had been thinking about ways to deal with her.
The Earth was his territory, and Gu Yi had let him handle it himself. This meant that he couldn't rely on Gu Yi and Kama Taiji's power, but it didn't mean he couldn't use the help of others, like the Hulk, Iron Man, S.H.I.E.L.D., or even HYDRA.
If Feini were to be pushed to the limit, he wouldn't mind involving HYDRA to deal with the black panther goddess.
Most importantly, Pantha shouldn't be completely reckless. In Feini's view, Wakanda was an important existence to her.
If she dared to cause trouble and couldn't be defeated, Feini would use the destruction of Wakanda as a threat.
He himself might not be able to do it, but with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA, it wouldn't be a problem.
Feini didn't believe that this mother leopard would really dare to go against him. In his opinion, Pantha's strength was probably not as great as Dormammu's. If Dormammu couldn't cause any trouble, then what about her, a mere leopard?
"From what you said, it seems like a female goddess?"
Banner also curiously joined in, asking: "Could it be that you did something to her?"
Tony suddenly showed a surprised expression, mixed with a little envy and jealousy. He had been with many women and now had a perfect girlfriend, but he was still curious about what it would be like to be with a goddess.
"Is she pretty? Does she have a good figure? Since she's a goddess, is she very old?"
Listening to Banner and Tony's questions, Feini was dumbfounded. What could he do to a mother leopard!?
And how could you distinguish whether a leopard was beautiful or not!?
What standard could be used to measure its figure!?
As for age, it was definitely not young!
