Chapter 31: The Infinity Chamber Part 2
Stark's P.O.V

The glow of the Infinity Chamber surrounded me as I sat in the middle of its compressed space, feeling the air hum with a new level of energy.
The first test runs had been promising, but I knew the chamber could go further. Right now, we were looking at a controlled time dilation factor of around ten, maybe pushing twenty times under ideal conditions.
But the goal I had in mind? A day in the real world equating to a year in here—that was a different game altogether. To get there, I'd have to rethink the chamber's energy parameters.
I turned to M.A.R.V.E.L for a fresh diagnostic, watching as the algorithms ran through energy output simulations, potential resources, and projections for stability.
Starktonium had proven to be the breakthrough that got the chamber running in the first place, but even that had its limitations. The energy requirements were monstrous. I'd have to find a way to push it further without sacrificing control.
"M.A.R.V.E.L, bring up the analysis on alternative energy amplification methods," I instructed.
As the projections flickered across the screen, a new idea started forming. Stark Particles—the enhanced version of Pym Particles that I'd developed—might hold the answer.
Infused with Starktonium, they had properties beyond anything I'd encountered in traditional particles.
The idea was ambitious, maybe borderline crazy, but if I could adapt them to stabilize the chamber's core, they could support a higher time dilation ratio without burning through the energy reserves.
With a few quick adjustments, I modified the Stark Particles' configuration, reworking their bonding parameters and adjusting for quantum phase fluctuations.
I integrated a secondary layer of nanobots programmed to repair any structural disturbances caused by the accelerated time flow.
The chamber now had self-repair capabilities, a failsafe measure to sustain stability under extreme conditions.
Testing was the next step. I stepped back, triggering the chamber's systems, and let it hum to life.
Gradually, the time dilation factor rose: 12x… 15x… 18x… until it finally stabilized at 20 times real-time.
The chamber seemed to hold steady, though I could feel the weight of the power draw. For now, 20x was the limit—any further, and I'd be tempting fate.
But I knew this was just the beginning. With more refinement, more breakthroughs, the potential was there.
Satisfied, I shut down the chamber and took a breath, a slight buzz of exhilaration undercutting my usual pragmatism.
I now had a controlled space where time moved faster than outside, a place I could use to accelerate my plans and hone my abilities.
The applications for this were limitless. I could take years of learning and condense it into weeks, maybe even days, depending on the dilation.
And with the superhuman enhancements coursing through my veins, this wasn't just about intellect anymore; it was about pushing my body, my abilities, to their utmost.
The first thing that came to mind?
Martial arts training.
My reflexes, speed, and strength had all increased, but there was a difference between raw capability and refined skill.
I needed precision, control, something only disciplined practice could give me. This chamber could let me train in hours what would normally take years.
I closed the diagnostics, the quiet satisfaction of success settling in. As I glanced around the chamber, I could already envision the possibilities. This was only the start of what the Infinity Chamber could do.
And with that, I initiated the final command sequence. "M.A.R.V.E.L, log all current settings and parameters. Prepare for martial arts simulations. We're about to put this chamber through its paces."
