Dual-Core Space War Fortress

Dr. Zola was in need of Human Life Batteries right now. When someone came knocking to offer himself up, he naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately opened a small gate for Pierce, letting him in.

Originally, he had only planned to add a high-level Human Life Battery to the War Fortress. Who would have thought there would be an unexpected bonus?

Pierce was carrying the Space Stone!

After discovering this treasure, Dr. Zola immediately changed his plans. He swiftly modified the original fortress framework, added Pierce as a core, and changed the original single-core Zola War God configuration into the current dual-core setup.

It wasn’t that Dr. Zola didn’t want to keep the Space Stone all to himself and use it directly. The problem was that he was completely unfamiliar with the Space Stone and had no corresponding research data. He had no idea how to use it.

With no other choice, he could only borrow Pierce’s power to activate the Space Stone, then use the Human Life Battery to enhance its effects.

It had to be said that vitality really was a universal force. It was effective even with the Space Stone.

Originally, in Pierce’s hands, the knife and shield had only been thirty-odd centimeters in diameter. Now, they had expanded into an enormous shield spanning dozens of kilometers, completely enveloping the entire War Fortress and thoroughly keeping the enemy outside.

Although Tony and Captain America’s Combination Synchronization Mode was powerful, it still couldn’t surpass the authority of the Space Stone. They were completely helpless against this Space Shield.

Dr. Zola was now completely invincible, but when the Space Stone was used for defense, it couldn’t activate the Spatial Blade for offense. Therefore, he didn’t launch a counterattack. Instead, he began improving the new Space Fortress again while also conducting in-depth research on the Space Stone.

Pierce had the research data from Shuri and the others. However, because Pierce didn’t understand it, he couldn’t maximize the Space Stone’s effects. Unlike illiterate people such as Pierce, Dr. Zola was a genuine scientist.

After obtaining the Space Stone’s data from Pierce, Dr. Zola immediately began an in-depth study. He intended to understand the Space Stone’s capabilities more thoroughly, allowing the Space Fortress to launch attacks while defending.

Meanwhile, as Dr. Zola settled down to conduct his research, Peter also regrouped with Tony.

Peter was in no mood to speak. He ignored the two of them and focused solely on throwing himself against the fortress, attacking it furiously.

At first, his attacks had some effect on the Astral Energy outside the War Fortress. However, after Dr. Zola converted the fortress into a dual-core structure and the Space Shield unleashed its power, his attacks became no more effective than a tickle.

"Ah…" Peter screamed wildly, launching futile attacks against the Space Shield that radiated a dim blue light.

"Damn it!"

"Pierce, you useless piece of trash! Are you hiding in there like a turtle?"

"Get out here!"

Pierce wasn’t stupid. How could Peter’s taunts possibly affect him? He was now staying safely inside the fortress, operating its weapons systems to attack the three people outside.

Dr. Zola had put all his thoughts into research and opened the Dual-Core Space War Fortress’s authority to Pierce, leaving him responsible for combat and buying time.

The fortress’s current weapons were basically existing forms of advanced technology, which couldn’t do much against the three Magnetic Field Warriors outside. The weapons capable of truly threatening them would have to wait until Dr. Zola’s research produced results.

In any case, with the Space Stone in their hands, time was on Hydra’s side. Dr. Zola and Pierce weren’t anxious in the slightest.

Pierce also discovered that the fortress was extremely safe, so he once again began taunting them with confidence.

"Peter, I called you a stupid dog before. I have to apologize now."

"I’m sorry. I overestimated you!"

"You’re not a stupid dog. You’re even worse than a stupid dog!"

"After being tricked so many times, you still actually believe Nick Fury again!"

"If you had agreed to my terms from the beginning, I would have left immediately. None of what happened afterward would have happened, and your aunt wouldn’t have died."

"But you handed all the negotiating power to Nick Fury and let him negotiate with me."

"He’s a politician!"

"When he negotiates, of course he has to make sure it serves his own interests!"

"As for you?"

"You’re nothing more than a pawn. Who would care whether your interests were harmed?"

"Look, you’ve returned to the battlefield just as he wanted!"

"He’s already achieved his goal, and you were the one who volunteered to join the battle. He doesn’t even need to owe you a favor."

"Later, he’ll give you a sincere apology so he can keep using you next time!"

Peter was almost insane now, pounding the shield desperately without regard for anything else.

"Ah…"

"You bastards…"

"You’re all a bunch of bastards…"

"You all deserve to die!"

Tony and Steve also discovered that the fortress’s shield had been upgraded again, rendering their attacks useless.

With no other choice, they could only think of another method. The simplest way was to pull Peter into the formation as well and have the three of them synchronize together!

Peter’s mind had been burned red with hatred. When Tony told him that there was a way to become stronger, he immediately nodded in agreement without caring about the principles or the danger involved.

Thus, under Tony’s control, the Nano-worm swarm also successfully entered Peter’s body. It burrowed into his bone marrow and blood vessels, then connected to his brain and spinal nerves.

The first time was difficult, but the second time was familiar.

This was Tony’s second time operating the Combination Synchronization Mode. Although adding another person created many uncertainties, Tony’s realm was also considerably higher than before. With Steve and Tony working together wholeheartedly, they successfully completed the addition, and the final result was extremely successful.

After the synchronization was complete, the three exchanged their insights, understanding, and knowledge of Magnetic Field Rotation in an instant. With Peter’s addition and his new comprehension of the magnetic field, their synchronized realm smoothly broke through to the Ninety-Seven Heavens!

This was already the limit of ordinary Magnetic Field Warriors. Above it lay the Ultimate realm. Reaching it required not only a perfect physical body but also extremely demanding spiritual cultivation. If one couldn’t achieve a breakthrough in the heart and mind, one would be stuck at the Ninety-Seven Heavens, unable to advance even an inch.

The three closed their eyes and focused their minds, carefully experiencing their new realm of power and digesting it. Only after a long while did they open their eyes simultaneously and punch forward together.

"Three Powers United Drill!"

The three streams of punching force spiraled around one another and merged completely. Carrying their convictions and confidence, they erupted with overwhelming power and slammed heavily into the Space Shield.

However, this peerless technique, which had condensed the Magnetic Field Rotation Force of all three of them, failed to have any effect.

The Space Shield still didn’t even shake.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

The three could hardly believe their eyes.

This attack had condensed all their essence, energy, and spirit. It was a divine technique created from the combined martial essence of all three and represented the peak of their attack power. If even this move couldn’t break through the Dual-Core Space War Fortress before them, then none of their other attacks would have any effect either.

What they didn’t know was that although the fortress’s surface was completely undamaged and hadn’t moved at all, deep inside the fortress, several of the Magnetic Field Warriors serving as Human Life Batteries had been drained into dried corpses by that single attack. They were the kind that even Cellular Reconstruction couldn’t save.

Pierce could no longer sit still. He didn’t know that this move was already the strongest attack the three people outside possessed. He was worried that if the three of them launched another eighty or a hundred attacks, wouldn’t they drain the entire battery energy reserve?

He hurriedly sought Dr. Zola’s help.

Ever since witnessing the Combination Synchronization Mode, Dr. Zola had already begun a targeted research project, but it had made no progress. Now that he had the Space Stone, the project advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already found a way to deal with it.

Tony and the others had no other options. They could only study new tactics with one another through the synchronization mode while continuing to gather energy and attack. Suddenly, however, they saw a large number of strangely shaped cannons appear on the fortress’s surface.

Tony and the other two didn’t know what kind of new weapons these were and remained on guard. Suddenly, they felt the space around them tremble, then shatter apart. The three were startled and hurriedly circulated their Astral Energy to protect their bodies, resisting the damage caused by the spatial rupture.

However, this spatial rupture didn’t cause them any harm. But when the space around them recovered, they suddenly discovered that they were now hundreds of kilometers apart from one another. The Nano-worm swarm’s links hadn’t extended in time, causing their connection to be severed instantly.

The Combination Synchronization Mode had been broken!
