"Brotherhood member, Takashiro Joshiro, codenamed Quicksilver, possesses superhuman speed and terrifying physical abilities, capable of easily crushing armored vehicles."
"A member of the fraternity, Misa Kuroba, codenamed Fire Woman, possesses the superpower of controlling flames. She is also the older sister of the famous actress Yuzaki Nishimori."
"Brotherhood member, Nao Tomori, codename Mystique, her superpower is the ability to transform into anyone, hiss."
"Brotherhood member, Kirima Sho, codename Red Devil, superpower is teleportation."
"Brotherhood member, Yamashita Toru, codenamed Toadman, his superpower is the same as a toad's. Well, this guy's ability is probably the only one that's a bit mediocre here," Zhuge Cong said, looking at Toadman's abilities.
At Hoshinokai Academy, the group of four, including Yuu Otosaka, immediately attracted the attention of their classmates.
"Um, is there something on my face?"
Yuu Otosaka said, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at like that.
"I never imagined I'd become a mutant in the future. But what exactly is this so-called Brotherhood?"
Takashiro Takeshiro was somewhat curious.
"The name sounds like it belongs to a villainous organization."
Nao Tomori put it succinctly.
Ekoda High School.
"Hey, Kaito, I remember that girl is your relative, right?"
Nakamori Aoko tugged at Kuroba Kaito's sleeve and said.
"Yes, she's my cousin, I guess."
"If your cousin can become a mutant, can't you become one too?"
"Who knows?"
Kaito Kuroba still had some recollection of this older cousin.
Inside a basement, Kuroba Misa stared blankly at the description of herself and her two underlings on the light screen.
“I never thought we’d become mutants with Big Sister in the future. But why isn’t Big Sister the leader of this Brotherhood, but this guy named Yuu Otosaka?” said Sho Kirima, who had red hair.
"It doesn't matter, since I don't know anyway."
Misa Kuroba said nonchalantly.
"Jarvis, add an anti-Magneto armor to my secret plan," Zhuge Cong said after pondering for a moment while looking at Yuu Otosaka's file.
"Addition complete, sir. To defeat Magneto, we need armor made of a non-metallic material, and we also need some technological support. Currently, neither of these conditions can be met," Jarvis said after his analysis.
"Just add it first. Okay, now take a look at the information on this Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters."
"Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters has several teachers and nearly a hundred students. Tsk, they don't even know the exact number." Zhuge Cong clicked his tongue, looking at the list of names above.
"Otosaka Hayato, the principal of Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters, codenamed Professor X, has superpowers of telepathy and mind control. Holy crap!" Seeing Otosaka Hayato's superpowers broke Zhuge Cong's defenses once again.
Three hundred million in Aba, four hundred million in rescue
"These two brothers' superpowers are both incredibly powerful, one controls magnetic fields and the other controls minds. There's no way to defend against them. Forget it, let's move on to the next one."
"Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters teacher, Yuzaki Hoshizora, codename: Laser Eyes. Her superpower is shooting red beams of energy from her eyes—laser eyes, so cool! But my armor can do that too."
"Xavier's Academy of Geniuses teacher, Bear Ears, codename Beast, superpower is beast transformation. In beast form, his physical abilities are terrifying; he can easily leap over a 5-meter fence, his standing jump distance is six meters, his strength is enough to lift a heavy object, he has night vision, and strong regenerative abilities. How come this information is so detailed, even including data? Unlike the previous ones which only mentioned terrifying physical abilities." Zhuge Cong was somewhat puzzled as to why this mutant had all the data. Was this mutant subjected to human experimentation or something to warrant such detailed information?
"Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters teacher, Hina Amano, codenamed Storm Girl, her superpowers are weather control and a humanoid aura weapon."
"Xavier Academy of Geniuses teacher, former Bo, codenamed Colossus, has the superpower to transform all his body tissues into a steel-like substance, second only to adamantium and vibranium in hardness."
"What are Adamantium and Vibranium? I feel like such a country bumpkin." Zhuge Cong leaned back in his chair, somewhat questioning his existence. It was as if he was seeing this world for the first time, but he still had to see what he needed to see.
"Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters teacher, Ayumi Otosaka, codenamed 'Quake Girl,' possesses the superpower of powerful shockwaves, similar to the effects of seismic waves."
"Phew, I thought I was pretty impressive for creating this Iron Man armor, but it turns out I'm still so weak." Zhuge Cong leaned back in his chair. Ever since his kidnapping, he had felt insecure. Developing the armor served two purposes: maintaining peace and giving himself power to feel safe.
19: Orochimaru: Okay, now it's almost there.
In the student council of a certain university, Hayato Otosaka looked at his future self's information on the light screen, and then looked at his own information about beating his younger brother.
"Will Yu and I both become mutants in the future? It just feels like we don't get along at all."
"Maybe, we'll see."
"Your superpower is quite terrifying—mind control. No wonder Zhuge Cong in the light screen is so wary of you."
Kumami, who is Hayato Otosaka's best friend, said.
"There's no way around it. Perhaps anyone who knows about this superpower would be very wary of it, after all, being controlled by someone else's mind."
Hayato Otosaka smiled and said.
Do you think Zhuge Cong would create an anti-Professor X suit of armor?
"As for that, I don't know either. Of course, if it were me, I would definitely make something to prevent mind control."
"Does Jarvis have any more detailed information, such as the plans of their principal regarding the establishment of the Xavier Academy for gifted children?" Zhuge Cong inquired.
"No, sir. We couldn't find any information on this in our database."
"Okay, by the way, besides the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters and the Brotherhood, are there any other organizations or individuals involved?" Zhuge Cong continued to ask.
"There are several gentlemen, including the Spider-Man known as the 'Friendly Neighbor.' A review of the surveillance footage reveals they possess extraordinary physical abilities; they can easily lift a small car and shoot webs from their wrists," Jarvis said, pulling up the surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage shows a figure dressed in a red and blue bodysuit swinging through the air, shooting out spider webs.
"Sir, there's something I need to be aware of. This guy known as Spider-Man seems to have excellent hacking skills. My investigation revealed that most of the surveillance footage of him has been deleted," Jarvis told Zhuge Cong, providing a crucial piece of information.
"She seems like a kind-hearted person who doesn't want to reveal her true identity, right?"
"Yes, sir, his actions show that he is a kind-hearted person."
"Is that all?"
"That's all the information we've gathered so far, sir."
"This much is fine too. Ugh, this is a real headache." Zhuge Cong looked at the ceiling and then at the steel armor beside him, feeling that the silver-white armor was a bit monotonous.
"Jarvis, let's give the armor a color scheme, how about red and yellow?"
After Zhuge Cong finished speaking, Jarvis constructed the color-corrected model on the screen.
"That's good. I think I need to rest now. Goodnight, Jarvis."
"Good evening, sir. Just wanted to inform you that there is a charity gala being held in your name. Would you like to attend?"
"No, all I want to do right now is lie in my bed and wake up to find my Iron Man armor fully rendered." Zhuge Cong turned and went upstairs towards his bedroom.
Meanwhile, Scorpion, driving a luxury car, arrived at a research institute of the Zhuge Group, which was also Orochimaru's laboratory.
"Good evening, Sasori. I thought it was the boss," Orochimaru said as Sasori walked in, his eyes glued to the data on the screen in front of him.
"The boss knows about our human experimentation."
"Really? Just like I said, they don't blame us." Orochimaru wasn't very surprised, as if he had expected Zhuge Cong to discover their human experimentation, since the equipment and many materials were provided by the Zhuge Group, most importantly, the artificial intelligence.
"Yes, not at all. They just told us not to harm ordinary people." Scorpion walked over and looked at the screen in front of him; the red data on it was quickly approaching the threshold.
"How's the experiment going?" Sasori asked Orochimaru. His plan for mechanical ascension heavily relied on Orochimaru's breakthrough in biotechnology; once this technological breakthrough was achieved, he could officially begin research and development.
"Almost there." Orochimaru had barely finished speaking when the guy tied to the chair in the isolation room suddenly exploded.
"It's almost there. If the boss were willing to help, the progress would be much smoother," Orochimaru said with some regret.
"You could ask him, what if the boss agrees? No, wait, you'd better not ask him. He's obsessed with Iron Man armor lately, he's unlikely to get involved. But his secretary is quite capable at research, don't you remember?" Sasori suggested to Orochimaru.
"Ai Haibara, if possible." Orochimaru's eyes lit up as well.
"The red and yellow combination looks pretty good." The next morning, Sasori and Deidara came to find Zhuge Cong again.
"Of course, I personally chose these hair colors to match yours. Aren't you touched?" Zhuge Cong handed over two Coca-Cola glasses.
"Alright, this should be completely finished now," Deidara said, looking at the Iron Man armor, which even had its paint applied.
"That's right, it's finished. Now there's one more thing to do." Zhuge Cong said as he walked up to the top of the Garghanna, while Deidara and Sasori took a few steps back.
Soon, several robotic arms deployed, donning the steel armor onto Zhuge Cong.
"It gave me goosebumps."
Yuta Togashi felt his blood boil as he watched the steel armor being assembled. As a self-proclaimed chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he had almost zero resistance to things like mecha.
"You're not going to seek revenge, are you?" Scorpion asked, looking at Zhuge Cong who was now dressed in his Iron Man armor.
"You guessed right. I'm a very vengeful person, as you should know. I'm leaving." With that, Zhuge Cong flew out of the underground testing grounds.
"So what do we do now?" Deidara asked Sasori.
"I need to go back and continue developing my human mechanization. You...you haven't looked at your document yet, have you?" Scorpion said, as if he had sensed something.
"What document?"
Judging from Deidara's expression, Sasori knew he'd probably forgotten about him.
"Jarvis, investigate the Iron Alliance documents and retrieve the Deidara document," Sasori said helplessly.
"See for yourself, figure it out yourself, I'm leaving now." With that, Scorpion rode off on his newly bought electric scooter.
"Oh, my armor? I need to go back and tweak it properly." Deidara, looking at the steel armor on his body, excitedly hopped on his motorcycle and rode back to the lab.
