In the endless universe, Ron wandered freely, enjoying the feeling of controlling everything.
At this point, about a month had passed since Tony Stark's Daily Cheese opened.
During this past month, Ron did nothing but immerse himself in his universe, watching its changes.
And after this period of Ron's efforts, the area he fully controlled in his distorted universe was already close to one ten-thousandth the size of the solar system.
In this region, Ron was an omnipotent god, the master of everything.
There are three ways to calculate the size of the solar system. Ron used the method that defines the solar system by the Sun's gravitational boundary. This calculation yields a size of approximately 150,000 to 230,000 AU (astronomical units). Taking the average of 190,000 AU, that's roughly equivalent to a length of 3 light-years.
AU is a commonly used unit in astronomy, also known as an astronomical unit, frequently used to measure distances between celestial bodies. 1 AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun, approximately 150 million kilometers long.
The one ten-thousandth of the solar system that Ron controlled was roughly 1.9 astronomical units in length, which is about twice the distance from Earth to the Sun, or twenty-two thousand times the diameter of Earth.
This sounds very large, doesn't it? But in reality, this distance, let alone in the vast universe, is just a speck of dust in the Milky Way where the solar system is located, practically invisible.
However, this short distance took Ron such a long time to accelerate the distance he originally controlled, which was the size of Earth, using that space to gradually engulf the surrounding space until it finally developed to this extent.
In this space, Ron had already used the acceleration function of the time dimension to speed up this space to the point where celestial bodies were about to form.
If Ron continued to accelerate this space, perhaps very soon it would have various celestial bodies, nebulae, star clusters, and other objects, forming a galaxy that was as small as can be.
So Ron didn't stop; he kept accelerating things in this space, wanting to see what it would eventually evolve into.
As the area Ron controlled began to expand, Ron's strength in the Marvel Fusion World also increased significantly. He could now materialize some simple life consciousnesses.
For example, materializing a Transformer formed from a low-level Allspark, and so on... With a thought, Ron suddenly withdrew from his universe and returned to his original location in the Marvel Fusion World.
This was because Ron's mental perception in the Marvel world detected Jessica heading towards his office and would open his office door and come in to find him in approximately thirty-six seconds.
For the past two months, Ron had spent most of his time at the Marvel News Agency, busy reporting strange news every day, hardly attending school or going to Oscorp Industries.
Peter and Jessica, however, had a tough time during this period. They were either out completing missions for the Guardians Alliance or working as reporters at the Marvel News Agency, secretly investigating things, and so on—they were extremely busy.
Ron waited for a moment, and sure enough, thirty-six seconds later, his office door opened, and Jessica walked in.
"Boss, I've found out what you asked me to investigate. Those mutants who suddenly popped up causing trouble recently seem to be organized. Although I don't know what their organization is called or how many there are, this is definitely a big conspiracy, Boss!"
Jessica looked very excited. She walked over, chugged a glass of water on Ron's desk, and then spoke.
Ron took the cup Jessica had just finished drinking from, recycled it, then materialized another cup of water, took a calm sip, and said,
"Hmm, good. You're in such a hurry to see me, are you hoping I'll investigate this with you?"
"Uh..." Ron's directness in guessing her thoughts made Jessica a little embarrassed, but she was thick-skinned and immediately said,
"Boss, you know, while my abilities aren't weak, there are so many mutants. How can I handle it alone? What if I can't beat them and get killed? Then, Boss, your Guardians Alliance would be missing its most important member!"
"Oh? You can be killed? I know you've been practicing your speed all this time. Your speed is almost faster than a car now, isn't it? Just some mutants, even if you can't beat them, you can still outrun them!"
Ron put down the half-full glass of water and joked without ceremony.
Jessica didn't back down and immediately retorted, "Boss, I'm just worried they might have fast mutants too! You never know with these things..."
"Alright, no need to explain. Tell me in detail what you found out." Ron smiled, finding Jessica, this cunning fellow, impossible to deal with.
"Alright, Boss!" Jessica happily responded, then explained what she had investigated.
"Here's the thing: a few days ago, there was a mutant who could phase through walls robbing a bank, right? I followed your instructions, Boss, and didn't intervene directly. Instead, I followed him to his hideout and discovered that he was actually instructed to rob the bank by someone else, and the person who ordered the wall-phasing mutant to rob was also a mutant. That's why I'm so sure this is definitely a big conspiracy, Boss. That's the whole story."
"Hmm, did you take photos?" Ron nodded and asked.
"All taken, Boss. Should we report this at the Marvel News Agency too?" Jessica patted her backpack, which contained a high-resolution camera that would never attract attention when taking pictures, given to her by Ron for news photography.
Ron said very assertively, "Report it. Mutants have been getting more and more out of hand lately. If we don't report these things, how will more ordinary humans realize that mutants are harming society?"
"Okay, I'll go now." Jessica responded, handed the photos to the news publishing department, and turned the matter into a news story for the Marvel News Agency, which was then released.
Over these past two months, the mutant community, which had been dormant, kept surfacing, with news of mutant crimes appearing frequently. This once again drew the attention of ordinary humans to mutants, creating many people who harbored animosity towards them.
After analyzing the situation, Ron had a rough idea of who was behind these incidents, but he had no intention of calming things down. Instead, he added fuel to the fire, escalating the conflict between humans and mutants.
Just as he had told Professor X and Magneto at the X-Mansion, there would eventually be a clear outcome between mutants and ordinary humans. Perhaps very soon, that outcome would emerge.
Ron hadn't forgotten how Professor X had unhesitatingly sold his information to Nick Fury. Did Professor X really think he was easy to bully?
