Transformation Powers Are So Cool
Tony was somewhat surprised to hear Loki say that the Precognitor’s bandages were inscribed with magic, and he looked at the Precognitor.
"Come to think of it, I’ve never seen what you look like, Precognitor."
Tony spoke with some interest.
But it was normal that he could not tell. What he specialized in was technology, not magic.
Loki was different. He mainly relied on magic in battle.
"The bandages covering the Precognitor’s body seal away most of his precognitive abilities."
"They are only removed when he encounters grave danger."
"If he removes those bandages, it means some great danger is about to descend."
"So rather than wanting to see his true appearance, I advise you to pray that day never comes."
Seeing that Tony was curious as well, Renoli spoke up.
Tony’s heart chilled at those words, and he no longer wanted to see it.
"And this beautiful blonde lady is Lacey."
Tony then continued with the introductions.
"Hello, Thor. I’ve heard stories about your Asgard ever since I was little."
"I never expected to meet the real Thor today."
"You really are as handsome as the legends say."
Lacey was dressed boldly and revealingly. When Tony introduced her, she revealed a charming, warm smile.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"May I ask, Miss Lacey, what is your superpower?"
Thor was very pleased by Lacey’s flattering words. His movements became even more gentlemanly and polite, and after lightly shaking her hand, he promptly withdrew his own.
"I’m different from them. What I have isn’t a superpower, so even if you asked me, I wouldn’t know how to answer."
Lacey’s smile remained unchanged.
"But you can fly."
Thor found Lacey’s words rather unbelievable.
"I can fly, but that isn’t a superpower."
"As for what kind of power it is, it would be troublesome to explain. We can talk about it another time if there’s a chance."
"Though it’s hard to explain, rest assured—I’ll kill all the enemies."
Lacey said with a smile.
"…All right, all right."
Seeing this stunning woman named Lacey smile as she spoke such ruthlessly merciless words, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Thor’s forehead.
"Now it’s my turn to introduce everyone."
"This is Steve Rogers, codenamed Captain America. You could say he’s a superhuman."
Thor did not press further. Instead, he acted as the intermediary and continued the introductions.
He understood Tony’s intentions. Tony had introduced them to him first.
That was because Tony knew that, in these people’s eyes, Earth belonged to Asgard’s territory.
So naturally, Tony introduced him to them rather than someone like Nick Fury.
After glancing at Steve, Lacey immediately identified him as genetically enhanced and fell into thought.
However, she did not ask why such genetic enhancement serum had not been widely distributed.
Tony had said that Earth had not yet entered the interstellar age. And not entering the interstellar age meant nations would wage wars over limited resources.
Such genetic enhancement serum definitely could not be made universally available to all humanity.
Every member of Xandar’s species had undergone genetic modification. They lived longer and were naturally stronger.
But even with everyone possessing better physical abilities, there were still ordinary people.
"Hello, everyone."
Facing the four people Tony had brought, Steve felt somewhat nervous and greeted them rather stiffly.
"Don’t be so nervous. We came here to help, not to cause trouble."
Kyle laughed heartily.
On Void Island, he encountered all kinds of people who came to pay their respects, because any one of them might join the Void.
As long as they joined the Void Cult, they would all be brethren. Thus, Kyle had never looked down on any of them.
"Then thank you in advance for your help."
Hearing Kyle’s words, Steve’s nervousness eased considerably, and he spoke.
"Leave it to me."
Kyle patted his solid chest and laughed.
"This is Banner. He is also a superpowered individual. His ability is transformation."
"And after transforming, he becomes extremely powerful."
Seeing Kyle’s demeanor, Thor felt more at ease and continued the introductions.
Renoli looked at Banner, who did not give off even the slightest aura of a strong person, and he already knew who the candidate Tony wanted to recruit was.
With the ability to transform, if Banner joined the Void as well, his starting point would be far higher than that of countless others.
He would have an easier time becoming one of the Void Cult’s top powerhouses.
"A transformation-type superpower? That truly is an extraordinary ability."
"I hope we can fight side by side."
Therefore, Renoli looked at Banner and smiled.
"Thank you, but I’m still not skilled enough at using my ability."
"It may cause some trouble when the time comes, so please forgive me."
Banner was somewhat flattered that Renoli praised him without any reservation upon hearing about his ability, and he spoke.
"It’s fine. Most transformation-type superpowers cannot be properly controlled at first."
"But once they are mastered, they become incredibly powerful."
"So just take it slowly. Most importantly, you need to accept the power within you."
Seeing Banner’s lack of confidence, Renoli’s eyes flickered as he spoke.
He had fought many powerful opponents, so he naturally understood some of the traits of transformation-type abilities.
Among the many early traits of transformation abilities, the most obvious was resistance toward the power within oneself.
Because the stronger one became after transforming, the more likely one was to lose control and go berserk in the beginning.
For ordinary people, that might be a bad thing, but for experienced superpowered individuals, it was absolutely a good thing.
Whether one’s power was strong enough determined whether one could possess greater strength and a higher ceiling than other superpowers.
If this Banner was truly powerful after transforming, then he was indeed an excellent candidate worth advising to seek an audience with Lord Kassadin and see whether he could receive a blessing.
"All right, I’ll give it a try."
Hearing Renoli’s attitude toward him and his guidance, Banner roughly understood why Tony had said his mindset was problematic.
Meanwhile, Thor did not concern himself with Renoli and Banner, and continued introducing Black Widow and Hawkeye.
Only at the end did Thor introduce his younger brother, Loki.
"Now that everyone knows each other, let’s leave it at that for now."
"I’ll go entertain my friends first."
Once everyone had been introduced, Tony spoke.
"See you all in a few days."
Hearing that Tony was going to entertain them, Lacey knew they were going to have a lavish meal, and she smiled as she waved.
Then, the group left together with Tony.
