The Collection of The End

——Marvel, 2014——

Hogwarts, top of the observatory.

On the other half of the rooftop, which is not accessible for normal teaching, stands a relatively large steel object with a hollow sphere structure that is constantly rotating. It is located on the solid disc structure in the middle of this "hollow sphere" and is inlaid with A cube that emits light blue light and is only as big as an ordinary person's fist.

At this time, the cube began to emit bright but not dazzling blue light. The blue light spread outward in a spherical shape, and a blazing white current flashed continuously on the surface. Finally, when the blue light ball almost filled the hollow spherical structure, it flashed for a moment. Suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, a gold and red steel suit appeared out of thin air in the middle of the spherical structure.

"Jarvis, how is the situation at the 'Teleport Terminal'?" Stark lifted the visor of the suit and looked around.

"Everything is normal, sir]" Jarvis's voice came from the helmet's earphones: "A total of 28 people attempted to hack this week, a decrease of 33 from last week."

"Hmph, if Stark's stuff can be hacked so easily, I might as well change my career to manufacturing agricultural machinery as soon as possible." Stark paused: "But what's the reason for such a reduction? I remember that I usually have at least There were a hundred people trying to do it."

"According to the analysis of the chat records on the Hogwarts school forum, the popularity of 'Flying Car' has surpassed that of 'The Mysterious Device of the Observatory' in the past two weeks, sir," Jarvis replied: "Because of the external With Xingren’s attribute blessing, you don’t have to worry about your device becoming obsolete.】”

"I'm not worried about that kind of thing at all," Stark looked at the Hogwarts campus: "How is Old Popsicle doing now?"

"There is no surveillance in the school doctor's office, sir. Miss Fisk visited Mr. Rogers before, but has been driven away by Mrs. Maria now," Jarvis replied: "She should be chatting with Mr. Rogers. Do you want to go over?" "

Stark looked a little moved, but still shook his head: "...No, forget it, if I go over now, the old popsicle will definitely take the opportunity to act like an elder and teach me a lesson with my mother - if my mother is here, Howard Woolen cloth?"

"According to the record 72 hours ago, the master did not leave after entering the 'Screaming Shack'. The voice record showed that he planned to make a 'steel arm that cannot be easily removed' for Mr. James Barnes."

"...Can the iron arm of the 'Iron Arm' be easily removed?"

"Not under normal circumstances, sir. What caused that effect was a kind of 'order destruction' magic called 'Fragmentation'. It can reverse the force that causes objects to gather. Any non-living object will immediately decompose into pieces after being affected. Parts,]" Jarvis paused and added: "The above information comes from the 'Damn Magic' database.]"

"You don't have to worry about this in a 'magic academy'...wait a minute," Stark frowned: "It will be in trouble if you get hit by those naughty kids who don't know the importance of it. Let's cancel the armor form first."

Tsk-tsk-kakaka.

The armor on Stark's body shrank from his body to the center like paper being folded or the sea receding, and finally gathered into a golden-red bracelet on his wrist.

"Actually, I've been under that spell, but it had no effect at all," Jarvis said through the headset left in Stark's ear: "If it's not that your armor is considered a whole, it's that I control it. The Warframe is a creature for the purpose of this magic.]"

"..." Stark was silent for a moment: "Anyway, let's go see what the old man is doing."

————

The "Screaming Shack" is neither a "scream" nor a "shack". It is located on the edge of the forest near Hogwarts and is used for the practice of the elective course "Research on the Comprehensive Application of Modern Technology and Superpowers" .

However, because this course does not have an exam, it is not as interesting as those superpower courses, and there are no ordinary points to get. Usually, it is almost in a state of neglect - even if there are birds, it has long been disturbed by the roar of machinery and the sound coming from time to time. The explosion scared them away.

Its iconic feature is a giant tree that grows in front of the "shed" and swings its branches even if there is no wind.

The name of this tree is "The Whomping Willow". Similarly, it cannot hit people and is not a willow. Apart from being huge enough, its only feature is that it can "talk", but it only says "I am Groot" over and over again. ".

But now, its branches that look like human arms are "holding" an old Ford car and throwing it around, as if a child has found a novel toy.

Howard Stark and James Barnes were working in vain under the tree, trying to get it to return their "masterpiece".

"Hey, Groot, you can't drive or even move, so don't worry about that flying car." Howard tried to reason with it.

"I am Groot]"

"Give it back to us, or I can't guarantee what we'll do." Bucky tried to threaten.

"I am Groot?]"

"...How about we make a new one?" Bucky looked at Howard.

"To put it lightly, I can't build it if you can?" Howard glanced at him angrily: "I don't know how to make that car start with magic as energy. Now I have to conduct reverse engineering research and analysis. OK."

"Like burning gasoline?" Bucky guessed.

"You're on to the point," Howard shook his head and nodded: "The most difficult thing to solve for flying cars is the power problem. If there is too much fuel, the thrust will be insufficient. If there is too little fuel, the endurance will be too short. I can't give every vehicle Are they all going to install an 'ark'? That way the cost would be beyond the 'civilian' level. The only thing that is theoretically feasible is magical energy, and the only successful experiment is currently being tossed around by a tree as a toy!"

Boom - The flying car started inexplicably, as if trying to escape from the clutches of the "Whomping Willow".

"I am Groot!]"

But it did absolutely nothing except make it more excited and squeeze the car harder.

Whoops!

The golden-red steel suit swept past, snatched the speeding car away from Groot's "hand", and then held it up and slowly landed in front of Howard and Bucky.

"I am Groot——" Groot furiously waved the branches randomly, but because the distance was not enough, there was nothing he could do with the steel suit.

"It seems that now is the age of young people, 'old' gentlemen." Iron Suit Stark said in a mocking tone.

The expected retorts and cynicism did not appear. Howard and Bucky's expressions were very consistent: wide-eyed, open-mouthed, staring straight behind Iron Man.

What... Stark tilted his head slightly with a bit of disdain, and then saw - the "Whomping Willow" "stands up", the roots below the ground gathered into two long legs, and was "looking down" viciously Own.

"I'm Groot!",
