I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 34 Hank and Ivan join forces, Russell's strategy

"Ivan Vanko, son of Anton Vanko, do you still want revenge against Tony Stark?"

Dr. Pym's voice rang in Ivan Vanko's ears.

Ivan Vanko was no ordinary prisoner; the crimes he committed were insignificant compared to the benefits he amassed.

Arc Reactor and its Miniaturization Technology!

As long as Ivan Vanko is willing to hand over these two technologies, or is willing to accept the olive branches extended by various forces and work for them.

He would immediately go from being a prisoner to a guest of honor.

There's only one person in this cell, and there's no loudspeaker, so where's the sound coming from?

Ivan Vanko was slightly surprised to hear Dr. Pym's voice.

He then remained calm and simply nodded casually.

Dr. Pym's problem is the reason he's still here.

Various factions coveted him and his technology, but no one was willing to support him in seeking revenge against the Starks.

The real revenge!

“We have a common goal—Tony Stark.”

Dr. Pym's voice continued to come through.

Unfortunately, none of us are a match for him.

Ivan Vanko raised an eyebrow and parted his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Then he closed his eyes again, but his fists clenched involuntarily.

My skills are no worse than his; it's just that he lacks martial ethics.

Defeat me with a sneak attack, with magic.

"But we can join forces."

Ivan Vanko sat down against the wall and said softly, "What do you have?"

“Pym Particles.” Dr. Pym’s voice was filled with pride.

"What is that, and what is it used for?" Ivan Vanko pressed.

"It can enlarge unmanned armor and weapons," Dr. Pym explained.

“Ha, then why don’t I just build a big one?” Ivan Vanko scoffed.

"Just build one big one, how big?" Dr. Pym asked himself, answering his own question, "Five meters, twenty meters, or one hundred meters?"

Then he continued, "But what about the materials? What materials do you plan to use?"

Ivan Vanko remained silent.

Armor is not a sculpture; it cannot be enlarged simply by piling up stones.

Making armor move and fight involves a very complex set of disciplines.

Circuit design, motors, motion control...

For a battle suit that is tens or even hundreds of meters tall, materials are an unavoidable issue.

Seeing Ivan Vanko fall silent, Dr. Pym smiled with satisfaction and continued:

"Pym particles can solve this problem. They don't simply enlarge or shrink objects; they involve a variety of unknown and mysterious reactions."

“Can I see it?” Ivan Vanko asked.

He had already been persuaded, but still wanted to confirm.

“This won’t do,” Dr. Pym said meaningfully. “You have to get out of here first.”

The implication is that if you want to see my Pym Particles, you'll have to prove your abilities first.

"Your Pym Particles had better be as magical as you say."

Ivan Vanko made a harsh statement, then got up and walked towards the cell door.

dong dong dong~

"Mr. Ivan Vanko, is there anything I can help you with?"

Soon, the guard's voice rang out from outside the door.

“Tell Justin Hammer that I have agreed to his terms.”

In the mirror space, the Ancient One and Russell witnessed firsthand Dr. Pym persuading Ivan Vanko.

They could hear each other's inner thoughts clearly through telepathy.

Russell stroked his chin.

Pym Particles + Armor ≈ Mech

Russell once dreamed of owning a mecha, and he even saw one during the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse event.

Penny Parker's Spider Robot.

But that one is too small!

Hopefully, the mech that Dr. Pym and Ivan Vanko jointly created will be 100 meters tall.

In that case... hehe.

"Russell," the Ancient One called out to Russell, who was lost in thought, "Get ready to get to work."

After using the Time Stone to peer into the past and learning that Mephisto's intention was to bring Tony and Russell to the Quantum Realm, the Ancient One and Russell decided to play along.

Gu Yi went to the quantum realm to select a battlefield and set up a magic array.

Russell targeted Dr. Pym, inscribing a portal spell onto his shrunken Pym Particles.

The Pym Particle is used, triggering a teleportation to a designated coordinate when Tony is shrunk to a subatomic scale...

Of course, all of this has one prerequisite.

That is, Dr. Pym and Ivan Vanko defeat Tony.

The two of them working together should be able to manage...

While waiting for Justin Hammer, Dr. Pym dreamed about the future.

Defeat Tony, send him to the Quantum Realm, and exchange him for your daughter from Mephisto.

If Mephisto can resurrect Hope, can he find Janet in the quantum realm?

If... could I trade Russell for Janet... Russell?

Dr. Pym suddenly shivered, shook his head, and snapped out of his daze.

Soon, a prisoner who looked, was tall, and dressed very much like Ivan Vanko was brought to the cell.

Afterwards, Ivan escaped from prison and was taken away by Justin Hammer's men...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tony has been very busy these past few days.

Although Tony has solved the palladium poisoning problem and no longer urgently needs new elements as raw materials to power the Arc Reactor.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D. still returned Tony's father Howard Stark's belongings to him.

Tony also successfully discovered new elements, which greatly improved the power supply efficiency of the Arc Reactor.

Then, the testing and configuration of the combat suits began.

On the other side, in Queens, New York, at the Hammer Arms Factory.

Dr. Pym asked, "How's the unmanned armor you've built using Justin Hammer's resources coming along?"

In the past few days, he has frequently sneaked into Hammer's arms factory to inquire about Ivan Vanko's progress and to cooperate with Ivan Vanko's research.

A few days later, he couldn't wait to see his daughter.

"very good."

Ivan Vanko answered.

"I have gained control of the Hammer Industries suit."

Furthermore, the mechs that can grow to gigantic sizes using Pym Particles... are also ready.

After listening to what Ivan Vanko had to say, Dr. Pym said eagerly:

“Then let’s act now, defeat Tony Stark, and send him to the Quantum Realm.”

Ivan Vanko shook his head:

"Defeating Tony Stark is easy, but how do we stop him from escaping?"

"Escape? How can he escape?" Dr. Pym wondered.

"Didn't you know he knows a teleportation spell? With this spell, you can jump through space."

Ivan Vanko countered with a question, and then continued.

“If he didn’t know magic, I could defeat him without your help.”

Dr. Pym remained silent; this information was not in his intelligence.

Ivan Vanko smiled dismissively: "Don't worry. The opportunity will come tomorrow."

Iron Man, aren't you supposed to protect everyone?

So, would you choose to fight to the death or run away?

There must be a way to stop Iron Man from escaping.

It's just that this method was not easy for Dr. Pym, an American, to come up with.
