Chapter 760: The Place Where Gods Reside (First Update)
Chapter 760: The Place Where Gods Reside (First Update)
"Really, it's gone!"
Peter walked to the spot where the nuclear experiment machine used to be, looking at the empty ground and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
He had always thought that magic was just a deception, but now he felt that perhaps it wasn't all a lie.
"Everything is over, I'm sorry, Harry. I've turned your investment into a bubble and made you a laughingstock."
Otto stared at the spot where the experiment equipment had disappeared, then collapsed onto the ground. The octo-arms on his back seemed to sense his despondency and drooped as well.
"Doctor, this can't all be your fault. Is there really no hope at all?"
Harry stepped forward, though equally disheartened, he still clung to a glimmer of hope.
Initially, he was furious with Otto for stubbornly pushing forward with the experiment despite the problems, but at the last moment, Otto's self-sacrifice to ensure their safe retreat had softened his heart.
Still, deep down, he wanted to know if the artificial sun was truly impossible.
Money was not an issue for him; he invested in Otto's artificial sun project not for profit but to make the Osborn Group renowned worldwide, even remembered by all of humanity.
It was his late father's lifelong dream.
The experiment had indeed failed, but he had seen the nuclear energy stabilize after Otto's adjustments. The explosion only occurred because the machine couldn't handle the load.
Would a stronger metal make it possible?
Otto looked up at Harry and shook his head. He knew what Harry was thinking, but as a physics expert, how could he not have considered it?
"It's impossible. I underestimated the energy intensity produced by nuclear fusion. Even if I could stabilize the nuclear energy, there is no metal on Earth that can contain it.
So, the artificial sun project is destined to fail, and all my efforts will be in vain."
"I think you don't need to be so pessimistic. Although we can't create an artificial sun, the octo-arms you created, Mr. Otto, are a great invention. They can significantly improve worker efficiency in manufacturing and benefit all of humanity."
Jerry, standing nearby, pointed to the octo-arms on Otto's back and smiled.
He didn't tell Dr. Otto about the vibranium that could contain the nuclear energy, instead steering their thoughts toward the practical applications of the octo-arms.
While the octo-arms were formidable in urban close combat, they weren't as destructive in modern warfare. Even if the military got their hands on them, the damage wouldn't be significant.
But the artificial sun was different. If Jerry provided the vibranium and Dr. Octopus managed to create the artificial sun, the benefits to civilian life would be immense.
However, if the military developed it into a weapon, it could lead to the destruction of the entire planet within a few years, which was not what Jerry wanted.
Sure enough, after Jerry's words, the despondent Harry's eyes immediately turned to the octo-arms on Otto's back.
For him, whether or not the artificial sun was created didn't matter; what mattered was advancing the Osborn Group.
Since the artificial sun project had failed and he would soon be a laughingstock because of this experiment, he might as well promote the octo-arms.
During the entire experiment, the octo-arms indeed played a significant role.
Promoting them in the future, whether in civilian factories, scientific labs, or national armies, would likely generate interest in the octo-arms, providing a new avenue for development.
Just as Harry was about to have a serious discussion with Dr. Otto about the future collaboration on the octo-arms, a large number of police cars and fire trucks appeared below the building.
"Jerry, thank you so much for today. If you ever need any help, feel free to contact me."
At the base of the building, after dealing with all the miscellaneous matters, Harry shook hands with Jerry and handed him a business card.
If it weren't for Jerry's miraculous magic, the entire experiment building would have been destroyed, so Harry was truly grateful to Jerry.
"Don't mention it. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now!"
Jerry took the card, waved to Peter and Harry, and then left.
Peter, who was secretly testing his strength, quickly waved and said he would definitely come to see Jerry's magic show when he had the chance.
Ever since last night, when he saw his beloved Mary Jane kissing a strange man and getting into the man's car, the heartbroken Peter noticed that something seemed to be wrong with his body.
First, his web-slinging became unreliable, and sometimes he even felt a fear of heights. His vision also fluctuated, and last night, he had to take the elevator down because of a sudden bout of acrophobia.
So he suspected that when Jerry grabbed his arm and he couldn't pull away, it might be because his super strength had also become unreliable.
After saying goodbye to Harry and Peter, Jerry instantly teleported into an ambulance.
"Nice to see you again, Dr. Otto!"
"It's you, Mr. Carmen. Thank you for saving my wife, but why are you here!"
Sitting in the ambulance, Otto looked at the suddenly appearing Jerry with a startled expression.
While suppressing the nuclear explosion, his body had been cut by flying metal and glass, so after everything was over, he had removed the octo-arms and gotten into the ambulance with his wife.
Jerry's sudden appearance in the ambulance genuinely startled him.
"I have something I want to discuss with you."
Jerry snapped his fingers, and the three of them instantly disappeared from the ambulance.
In the Ring Universe, on Ego Planet.
Otto and his wife Rose stood frozen, watching the Fire Dragons and Thunderbird flying in the sky, the Giants standing over ten thousand meters tall in the distance, and the breathtaking, paradise-like environment around them.
"No, no, this must be an illusion. Everything is fake. Wake up! Wake up!"
Otto slapped his face hard, muttering to himself.
As a scientist, the sight before him was so mind-boggling that he couldn't help but think someone had injected him with a hallucinogenic drug, causing him to hallucinate.
Seeing his state, Rose quickly reached out and grabbed Otto, comforting him:
"Otto, this isn't an illusion. Perhaps we have arrived at the place where the Gods reside."
