American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

After a long silence, Otto Kahn gave a four-fold reason.

But from his tone, Giorgio could vaguely sense Otto Kahn's attitude.

By leading the restructuring of Paramount, Otto Kahn effectively gained absolute control over the entire company.

"I really hope to achieve good results."

Although he had already prepared the answer in his mind, Xu Fu still looked at him expectantly.

"Of course, Mr. Xu Fu, I will try my best to convey your ideas to all members of the restructuring team."

Otto Kahn returned the same smile.

...

The mutant world, inside a creepy old castle.

During this period, Xu Fu focused on acquiring film studios in the world of Positive World.

After meeting with Otto Kahn, he instructed Royne Disney to contact other Hollywood film studios, and Fox proved to be the most aggressive in the acquisition, which was certainly largely due to Fox's current situation.

A few years earlier, two years before the Great Depression of 1927, William Fox, the head of Fox, bought the stock of his old rival Marcus Rowan after the death of Rowan. Rowan owned more than 200 movie theaters and was the parent company of MGM.

However, MGM's CEO, Louis Meyer, was enraged by the acquisition and retaliated swiftly, using his political influence to force the Justice Department to launch an antitrust investigation into Fox Studios.

Unfortunately, William Fox himself was injured in a car accident during the process, and the subsequent Great Depression wiped out most of his wealth.

The Fox film empire began to fall apart, and William Fox himself was even imprisoned for debt.

Today, Fox Film Corporation is in dire financial straits, and William Fox has lost control of the company. In fact, when 20th Century Studios later acquired Fox Film Corporation, William Fox was essentially an outsider.

A company named after a surname ended up becoming someone else's dowry. Anyone would be disappointed in that situation, wouldn't they?

According to information obtained by Luo Yin, William Fox had only recently been released from prison, and the sudden Great Depression had shattered his original ambitious plans. Now, William Fox only wanted to get out of prison as soon as possible. Clearly, the Great Depression had a profound impact on him; after all, he himself was a product of the Depression and the existence of prison.

It is said that William Fox himself had considered leaving the film industry.

After learning part of William Fox's story from Luo Yin, Xu Fu became interested and wanted to learn more about him.

While Fox Film Corporation isn't as large as Paramount, it still owns a significant number of theaters, making it a viable option.

Of course, the meeting with William Fox required Luo Yin to make contact, and Xu Fu himself took this opportunity to return to the mutant world.

Whether it's due to the ratio between the two dimensions or the increase in the number of Time Gem fragments, the flow of time in the mutated world is slower than in the previous anti-world. Xu Fu experienced so much in the real world, but only three days passed in the mutated world.

Meanwhile, Tony, the Avengers, and their team are working to repair the damaged belt. Given the futuristic technology of the Electric Belt, even a genius like Tony cannot complete the task in a short time, especially since the entire mutant world is in a state of madness and chaos due to Apocalypse's death.

Even a rational person like Nightcrawler had to retreat to a mental hospital to prevent his brain from being overexposed to factors of mental derangement.

The inability to locate a large amount of research equipment and specialized materials undoubtedly slowed Tony and Banner's recovery process considerably.

Chapter 925 Lurker

"This framework is incompatible with..."

An ancient castle, inside which are empty laboratories.

Tony manipulated his nanoparticle-covered palm to access the Time Belt in front of him for repair.

Countless nanoscale robotic particles rushed into the damaged part of the belt at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the belt left by the cable before its death remained unchanged, lying there quietly without any reaction.

"The technology contained in the belt is one, no, several levels higher than the nanoparticles you're using. We can't use old technology to be compatible with new technology, just like a mobile phone can't be compatible with artificial intelligence."

Banner walked to the side and connected wires to himself and Tony in the makeshift setup he had set up. He took off his glasses, looked at the belt in front of him, and made no move.

The nanoparticles filled the damaged parts of the belt, but this only restored it to its original state; in reality, the destruction inside the device was not yet complete.

Upon hearing that his own nanoparticles were being called outdated technology, Tony raised an eyebrow.

"I need a specialized scanning device to analyze the internal structure of the belt, especially the part that requires a lot of energy for spacetime transfer, and how it compresses such a large amount of energy into the size of the belt."

Releasing his hands from his belt, Tony pressed the memory on his chest, releasing nanoparticles that formed a helmet on his head. He frowned and scanned the belt in front of him several times.

Although the Mark 50 is also equipped with an infrared scanning device, this function is not difficult, after all, this suit was not designed for research in the first place.

"You know, finding usable experimental equipment in this world is not an easy task."

Rubbing his eyes, Banner wearily looked away from the eyes that were resting on his belt and turned his head back to Tony: "There are mutants everywhere here affected by the psychopathic factor. There aren't even many overly intelligent creatures in the castle. We know absolutely nothing about this world, even though the city shares the same name as New York."

Over the past few days, Banner, Tony, and the others have devoted most of their energy to exploring the belt, while also figuring out what has been happening in the Vault.

As Nightcrawler Wagner discovered, mutants in this world are all affected by factors of mental disorder, and even the rational ones in the Sanctuary are no exception.

In an effort to eliminate factors contributing to mental instability, the mutants in the mental hospital tried various methods.

Most of the time, they would not leave the shelter, lest they leave Oed's protection and fall into deeper madness. After all, only a few strong-willed mutants would risk going out. Apart from a few mutants like Darwin, they relied on their strongest abilities to survive without food.

Most mutants in the shelter still need food, so fast mutants like Nightcrawler are the preferred choice for adventurers who want to roam free.

This is why Daredevil is one of the few mutants in the Avengers who can communicate.

Apart from the incessantly talkative Wade, most of the mutants in the asylum seemed rather taciturn, which Nightcrawler said was because they spent most of their energy fighting off the interference of the "madness factor."

Therefore, mutants can be seen everywhere in the castle, but the atmosphere is unusually oppressive.

In such a depressing environment, even the Avengers couldn't help but become a little impatient.

In the past few days, even the Hulk inside Banner has lost his temper several times, but fortunately he discovered it and it didn't cause a big mistake.

Even so, Banner wasn't sure how much longer he could hold on.

"We must figure out our technological level. If we break through such advanced technology, it means we will no longer have to wander aimlessly and take risks like before."

"This is the best."

As you can see, the belt was so badly damaged that we probably couldn't repair it at all.

Unlike Tony, perhaps it was the Hulk that made Banner think things should be as bad as possible; after all, no one can remain overly optimistic with a person inside them who is always ready to explode in anger.

Tony: "Don't forget that time the belt was activated."

The flag-raising ceremony was "only halfway done."

Tony: "Even if it's only half activated, it means it's not completely damaged; we just haven't figured out how it works yet."

Tony's argument clearly convinced him, and Banner turned to look at the belt inside the device.

"Even if what you say is correct, deciphering the principle behind the belt would require a rather complex device, which only specialized research institutions possess."

"No, we may not need overly complex scanning equipment."

The question seemed to have come full circle, but just then, Tony seemed to remember something and said, "I'd like to know, what do you think?"

I have an idea.

"what?"

Seeing Tony suddenly become excited, Banner asked with some confusion.

"Xu Fu, Xu Fu!"

...

“...Strange...strange...strange...strange...strange...strange…”

On the other side of the castle, Doctor Strange was meditating with his eyes closed.

The intermittent muttering sound rang in his ears again, causing Doctor Strange, who was engrossed in his thoughts, to unconsciously frown.

Doctor Strange wasn't bothered by the noises in the Antiworld; he'd heard them once before in Maria, but back then they were like the muffled sound of a lake, sometimes near, sometimes far, like a radio receiving interference. Now they seemed to be getting clearer.

“Remember my name... Strange... Call me... Strange.…”

The voice seemed to possess some kind of special magic, calling upon Doctor Strange to respond.

"That's strange."

Guided by the voice, Dark Strange subconsciously uttered his own strange name. Immediately afterward, a magical power radiating purple magic light enveloped his body, and countless indescribable knowledge rushed into Dark Strange's brain.

"This is..."

...

"Xu Fu, this is exactly where I need your help."

In an ancient castle, Xu Fu, who had just returned to the mutant world from the supernatural world, saw Tony.

"I thought you'd stay in the lab researching belts forever..."

Looking at Tony standing in front of him, Xu Fu said casually.

"Clearly, the situation is not simple."

Chapter 926 is not difficult

Tony shook his head and frowned: clearly, there was a problem with the belt repair.

"So, what do you want from me?"

Seeing this, Xu Fu didn't say a word and quickly changed the subject to Tony needing his help.

I need to go outside the shelter; I hope you can come with me.

"Is this related to research equipment?"
