As the central pillar continuously siphoned fusion energy from the Sun.
Beginning from the nearest five pillars, the energy spread outward.
A translucent, jade-like transformation appeared on the surface of each pillar.
Half an hour later.
All 128 pillars were lit up, their charging complete.
At this stage, if it were a Cybertronian robot, they could use quantum communication to input the spatial coordinates of the destination.
Then they could transport "objects" to the predetermined location.
But Tony Stark had not yet cracked quantum communication technology; fortunately, he found a loophole.
By forcibly damaging the central pillar, the transport array would activate its defense protocols.
It would automatically reverse the transport destination to protect the side sending the army.
Originally, the Cybertronian robots had input the coordinates for the Solar System.
So, after Tony Stark gathered energy and fired a laser beam at the central pillar...
The transport destination reversed.
According to the estimates of Stark and Dr. Banner, the planet Cybertron would be sent back to its original location.
Up until this moment, everything was proceeding according to Tony Stark's expectations.
After the central pillar was destroyed.
The entire array did not stop; it actually accelerated its siphoning of solar energy.
A beam of brilliant white spatial energy shot directly toward Mars' orbit.
After the spatial energy accurately struck Cybertron, it gradually formed a "shell" of blue light.
This was to protect Cybertron from the terrifying tearing forces generated during a space jump.
Five minutes later.
Cybertron officially entered the jump process. Within the field of view of cosmic optical telescopes.
The entire planet Cybertron vanished in the blink of an eye.
Tony Stark froze for a moment, only then realizing that the transport had been a success.
His face turned red with excitement behind his metal faceplate as he shouted toward the Avengers' space base.
"The plan is a success, nice!"
The Avengers, who had been anxiously waiting for the results in the space base, finally began to celebrate that they had once again saved the world.
"We did it... we actually did it!!"
"Great job! The super-genius Iron Man is truly reliable; let us welcome back the hero who saved the world..."
"Woo—hoo!"
"Stark, you really scared the life out of us."
The entire space base was submerged in a sea of cheers.
Only Nick Fury remained calm, staring at Dr. Banner as he asked, "Is the Sun alright?"
Dr. Banner's smile faded as he quickly scanned the holographic screens in front of him.
After reviewing the data from the solar-orbiting satellites, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "As of right now, there are no issues with the Sun."
"Losing a millionth of its energy is negligible to the Sun; our previous worries were unnecessary."
Hearing this, Nick Fury's eternally frozen face finally cracked into a slight smile.
"At the victory banquet later, everyone must drink until they're under the table!"
The group burst into cheers of uncontrollable joy once again.
After Cybertron vanished, Earth was no longer affected by the super-gravitational source; it stopped drifting from its orbit, and tectonic activity finally ceased.
The humans on Earth realized that the natural disasters which had lasted for days had suddenly stopped, and they understood that the Avengers' plan had truly succeeded.
People poured out of their shelters, shouting the names of the Avengers toward the leaden sky.
In this moment, the Avengers were gods in the hearts of all humanity; people wanted to enshrine these saviors.
The global celebration lasted for two days.
Carol Danvers brought back the ten starships from the Seed Project. Except for the Avengers' space base which intended to remain in orbit, all other ships landed on Earth.
People left the shelters and returned to their homes, rebuilding their residences amidst the ruins.
It could be foreseen that this period of reconstruction would be exhausting, but people had hope in their hearts; no one complained even if they had to carry bricks to rebuild their houses.
Various industries gradually recovered, and the surviving humans entered a state of recuperation.
Even Hydra had strangely fallen silent, aside from low-level members who were still recruiting and promoting the idea that Hydra was the true savior of the world.
Alexander Pierce and other high-ranking Hydra officials, along with the superhumans of the Revengers, had all vanished.
Nick Fury knew his old rival Pierce was surely brewing a larger conspiracy, and for the past two days, he had been sending agents to track the whereabouts of Hydra's leadership.
The confrontation between the Avengers and Hydra was far from over.
At the current stage, rescuing Steve Rogers and Thor became the Avengers' top priority.
April 2014.
The entire world was busy rebuilding homes, governments were re-established, and world order returned to normal with the help of the Avengers.
Harvey bid a reluctant farewell to the tender and soft Medusa and Crystal, taking his five women back to the New York estate.
This mother-daughter pair had been trained to be so obedient and submissive that he actually wanted to bring them back to Earth, if not for Hermione's steadfast refusal.
Unfortunately, when it came to women, Miss Know-It-All would always flip her lid with jealousy.
She could tolerate Harvey having flings outside, but she couldn't tolerate more and more beautiful women living in their home.
Even Mariko and Yukio were driven away by Hermione.
However, the ambitious Mariko happened to want to return to Japan to take control of the country amidst the chaos and turn the Yashida Group into something akin to the Samsung Group.
Therefore, Mariko and Yukio did not show much emotion when they left.
The New York northern suburbs estate.
After casting spells, the collapsed villa and the fissures on the lawn were all restored to their original state.
Back in their familiar home, Hermione, Cho Chang, and Wanda rarely accompanied Harvey in a several-day-long, shameless life of sleeping together in one large bed.
The world situation tended toward stability, and nothing major was happening in the Harry Potter world either.
Half a month passed.
Harvey began to ponder using the Uru metal he obtained from Asgard as the wood for a wand to create one that could perfectly unleash his strength.
As his power increased, the yew wand provided less and less amplification for his mana.
This wand, which had accompanied him for eight full years, had reached the time for its retirement.
"Uru metal as the wood and a Phoenix tail feather as the core; the resulting wand should be sufficient."
"It's a pity I didn't find a branch from the World Tree in Asgard; that should be the top-tier material for a wand."
Thinking of Asgard, Harvey couldn't help but associate it with the charming Goddess of Youth, Iden.
Tossing aside the stray thoughts, he took out a five-pound piece of Uru metal and a Phoenix feather obtained from Ta Lo.
He prepared to manufacture the new wand.
The melting point of Uru metal was extremely high; dwarves used neutron star furnaces to melt it.
Harvey didn't have those conditions, but he had his own methods.
He cast a magical shield over himself and unleashed the Micro-Fusion Sun, creating a miniature star with a temperature of 30 million degrees Celsius.
Using telekinesis, he controlled the ten-inch-long square bar of Uru metal, making it hover above the small sun to gradually be melted by the extreme heat.
Since the temperature of the small sun was still a bit lower than a neutron star furnace, the process of melting the Uru metal lasted for two days and nights.
