"Omnic Mind... I didn't expect the criteria to be so strict."
Initially, when looking at the System item description, Luca had thought about relying on the Mind Stone to 'deceive' the item's judgment and try using the prayer beads himself.
However, after actual testing, not only could Luca not use it.
Even among his many mechanical creations, only the Aurantius Haro, Baymax, and Vision—these three 'original' System creations whose minds were nearly indistinguishable from real humans—could use this item.
Others, even 'Erha' (the White Haro), the earliest creation that had been upgraded countless times, couldn't control the [Orbs].
What made Luca feel between laughter and tears was that when he placed the Aurantius Haro in the Boxer Gundam's pilot seat to act as the AI control core...
The Orbs didn't judge the entire Boxer Gundam as a single entity. Instead, they continued to float around the Aurantius Haro inside the cockpit.
Even the self-invincibility state from activating the 'Ultimate' was only applied to the Aurantius Haro inside the cockpit.
But Haro, the little thing, already had the System-certified 'Invincible Defense' and was inside the layers of protection of the Boxer Gundam. Was there any need to give it another layer of time-limited invincibility shield?
In the end, the invincible Aurantius Haro had no use for this thing. Baymax had fully transitioned to research and logistics and rarely went out.
So, this freshly baked [Orb of Harmony/Discord] naturally fell into the hands of Mini-Vision, as expected.
Of course, these were just the results of basic testing. Luca wouldn't slack off on further disassembly, attempting to reverse-engineer and replicate them later.
Hmm, coincidently, Mini-Vision seems to have talent in this area too. Plus his ability to change density and phase through matter.
Maybe I can ask him to assist me later and conduct research in this area together.
Luca calculated in his mind.
Speak of the devil.
Just as he was thinking this, at the entrance of the testing ground.
Vision, dressed in a black children's suit, with nine mechanical prayer beads floating around his neck, a red face, and a blue gem-like chip embedded in his forehead...
Was floating in mid-air, controlling his body to enter a phased state, passing directly through the gate and appearing in front of Luca.
However...
Clatter clatter~ Rumble rumble~
From outside the gate came the sound of a series of metal objects falling to the ground and rolling.
Vision, who was just about to say something to Luca, looked down at himself in confusion.
Only then did he realize that the ring of prayer beads floating around his neck didn't phase through the gate with him. Instead, they hit the door panel directly and fell outside.
At this moment, Vision and Luca stared at each other, both stunned on the spot.
Finally, Luca spoke first, somewhat helplessly.
"What are you doing... Did you forget that you don't have the ability to simulate objects anymore?"
"Hmm?"
"This suit you're wearing is just an ordinary suit bought from outside, right?! Clothes can phase, but prayer beads can't?"
Hearing Luca's words, Vision tugged at his children's suit awkwardly, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
His phasing ability seemed like a byproduct of modifying his own density, but in reality, compared to scientific technology, it was more appropriate to call it a superpower granted by the Mind Stone.
Sometimes, even he didn't know where the boundaries of this ability lay.
Unable to explain clearly right now, he could only hook his finger, controlling the nine prayer beads to push open the gate and fly back around his neck.
At the same time, he didn't forget to take out a phone from his pocket and hand it to Luca.
"Mr. Stark is looking for you. He has called twice."
Looking at the phone Vision handed over, Luca didn't take it immediately. Instead, the speechless look in his eyes deepened.
"So, the phone can phase through the door too, just not the prayer beads, right?"
Shaking his head slightly, Luca took the phone from Vision, not forgetting to instruct him.
"Go back and practice more. If it really doesn't work, next time you phase, just stuff the beads in your pocket..."
Turning on the phone and ignoring the silly Vision who seemed ready to take the prayer beads to bang against the wall, Luca dialed Tony Stark directly.
"What? Gwen is going back?"
"Mm... okay... I'll be there..."
A week later.
New York, inside the Stark Mansion.
A long-awaited Avengers gathering. Even War Machine Rhodes, who had been promoted repeatedly within the military recently and was extremely busy, didn't miss this gathering.
All this was because Gwen had finally made up her mind to return to her original world.
Everyone came to this banquet today to bid farewell to this girl who had fought alongside them countless times and made significant contributions to this world.
Although she was a visitor from another world, in terms of involvement with the Avengers, Gwen was much more involved than Luca, who always stayed on the periphery.
Plus, due to her personality, she maintained very good relationships with everyone.
Although it was a banquet with many people, the mood of the true Avengers members, including Gwen herself, wasn't very high. At most, they maintained smiles on the surface, saying things like congratulations on the girl returning to her hometown soon.
At this moment, Pepper, Natasha, and Hill were gathered around Gwen, comforting the low-spirited girl.
The other men naturally kept their distance consciously.
Luca, holding a glass of orange juice, came to the bar and greeted Hawkeye Clint and Dr. Banner, who were chatting idly.
"Clint, how's that bow I gave you working out?"
Luca just started the conversation casually to make small talk. Who knew that upon hearing this, Clint would suddenly have a constipated expression on his face.
"What? Not good? If you have any suggestions for modification, I can adjust it."
"Uh... that won't be necessary... it's just that usually, we archers might not use weapons with such high power..."
As he said this, Hawkeye recalled the time he was forced to use the '6-second charge arrow' against a villain from another world. Even though he was behind solid cover, the shockwave from the explosion shattered the cover and sent him flying.
That unlucky villain and his large group of green monster minions were turned directly into flying ash.
Even now, Hawkeye didn't know whether he should be grateful or terrified.
Of course, if he knew the power of the arrows shot by Luca, this 'archer,' he probably wouldn't worry about these trivial matters.
However, seeing that Clint indeed didn't want to say more, Luca didn't press for 'user feedback.'
Instead, he changed the topic and asked.
"By the way, why didn't I see Thor here this time? What has he been busy with lately?"
