8. Hole card [38/40]

Between the rolling thunder, the icy torrential rain crashed against the broken ground.

The dark wind was still blowing in the ground, which was filled with large pits and cracks, and the shattered stones of the building had collapsed.

Merlin has used his magic to bind the land so that the war that breaks out here will not affect the outside world.

And in this dark and magical place, shadows spread in the rain, perfect for Batman to hide.

"Bioassays!"

The Super Mark Warframe hovers above the shattered bridge that has been torn apart by a third of the thunder.

Tony's combat search with his Warframe completely failed to capture Batman's hideout, and the gloomy man was stripped of his symbiote, but he didn't get any better at it.

But Tony has more at his disposal.

A blue curtain of light shot out from Super Mark's wrist, like a halo radiating outward, spreading outward in a scattered manner, enveloping the land in a rapid manner.

In the internal projection of the Super Mark Warframe, all the life still on this battlefield has been scanned.

The Hydra agents who lay in the ruins, the poor people who had lost their lives to Merlin's initial assault.

Those guys are all Hydra, but they are supposed to be decent agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tony didn't know about Hydra's rise to power, and of course, in his current state, he wouldn't believe Merlin if he told him.

This is also a big reason why Tony thinks Merlin has gone completely crazy.

The deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had begun to attack his own people coldly, and he was no longer the hero Tony remembered who would try to protect his own people at all times.

Look at the battle between him and Thor in the air, the scattered thunderbolts crashing above the Trident Building.

There was also the explosion of the black magic evolution, and in just a few minutes, the entire building was already bombarded and destroyed.

There are a lot of agents on duty in that building!

Merlin didn't care about their lives...

By this time, he had become no different from those super criminals.

But what Tony couldn't figure out was that the always old-fashioned Captain America Steve. How could Rogers follow Merlin to fool around?

Is that steel-willed man also controlled by his mind?

"The end of biotesting... Batman was not found. ”

The AI in Tony's armor reported the results in a calm tone, which made Tony come back to his senses in surprise.

"Didn't find out? How can it be? ”

Iron Man looked at the shattered bridge in front of him, and he saw Batman rushing towards him.

The symbiote suit on his body has been dispelled by the sound waves and flames from before, and he has turned back into a normal person...

But how can it not be searched?

"Maybe it's a distraction..."

Tony's mind raced, and he remembered the time when Batman attacked him with a batrang with a small EMP impact, and that guy seemed to use some high-tech as well.

If his artistic Bat Suit had a screen-scanned module in it, then...

"Search again!"

Tony, circling in the air so as not to be locked on, said to the newly set Combat AI:

"Let me see the projection."

"Huh"

On the projection in front of Tony's eyes, red dots are marked one after another, representing the life signals searched by the artificial intelligence.

Tony stared at the projection, he didn't pay attention to the red dots, he was looking at the data coming back from the bioscan.

Soon, a strange data point appeared in Tony's eyes.

Behind a boulder on the edge of the bridge, there was no life signal there, but nothing else either.

In the echo of the biological scan, there was nothing...

"Found you!"

A cold glint flashed in Tony's eyes.

As a hero who fights with intelligence and technology, this data anomaly means something more in his eyes.

Biological signals can be masked and camouflaged, but at the data level, there will always be deviations from normal results.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, that anomaly is not worth paying attention to.

But for Tony, the anomalous data that feeds back already informs him of his opponent's location.

"Edith, you're still not smart enough."

The Iron Man quietly changed the direction of his flight, pretending to approach the anomalous boulder as if nothing happened, and he complained:

"If it was Jarvis, it would definitely notice this..."

"Looks like I'm going to have to upgrade you again, and if I can find Merlin's AI Icarus data template, maybe I'll be able to get a combat system similar to Jarvis's."

"There's so much good stuff on that guy..."

Tony complained about his newly developed combat artificial intelligence,

He sped abruptly, streaked a brilliant trail through the dark curtain, and landed behind the obscured boulder.

He raised his arms, and the weapon module on his arm flipped out.

In the beating of the data parts, the visually striking composite guns spread across his arms, as if he were carrying two simplified heavy cannons of destruction.

Several missile launchers also popped out of his shoulders.

He wants to use lethal force to deter Batman from hiding here, so that he can give up resistance.

That's right, that guy may have been brainwashed by Merlin and became cruel.

But Tony thinks he's a superhero, and he still has a bottom line.

It's a pity that in front of his eyes, there is no Batman.

In the shadows behind the boulder, there was only a black instrument glowing with a blue point of light, like some kind of jamming device in operation.

Invisible waves of data emanated from the device, spreading in all directions.

When he saw that thing, Tony's face in the Super Mark armor changed drastically.

He knew it.

This is Lex. Luther's tech company has designed large data jammers specifically for a possible rebellion in an ever-increasing number of intelligent machines.

This thing can interfere with the data of most signal monitors.

Best of all, it simulates very different data results and sends them back to the monitor in the form of echoes.

The original purpose of this thing was to help innocents evade the scans of the rebel sapient machines, as a way to save mass casualties.

But now, it's being used to interfere with Super Mark's life signal detection.

This means...

"Shet!"

Tony cursed, and he slammed into the air.

The range of action of this jammer is about 200 meters.

This means that most of the data sent back by his two life signal scans just now was wrong!

That Batman is hiding in the camouflage of this data, maybe he's right behind him right now...

"Bang"

A punch cut through the darkness and slammed into Tony's waist.

In the spark that jumped from the friction of steel, the iron man who had just taken off was beaten and fluttered outward.

His calves were grabbed, and Batman, who sprang out of the shadows below, clasped Tony's calves with both hands.

With the crash of the machinery, Tony was thrown to the ground along with the Super Mark Armor.

"Boom"

Like a war hammer that has been picked up, Tony's head was slammed into the boulder scattered behind him in the whirlwind, shattering the stone.

Batman also put on a steel suit at some point.

A bat-shaped steel suit.

On the cuirass there are also special energy rings beating.

The icy raindrops smashed on the strange bat-shaped helmet of the suit, causing the light in the eyes of the helmet to dance in the rain.

To Tony's critical eye, Batman's Iron suit is like the worst imitation of the Super Mark Suit.

This thing's defense looks amazing, and its power and power are quite strong.

But it sacrifices agility for this, and it doesn't have a flying device.

"Boom"

Tony's thrusters in his feet are impaled by blades that pop out of Batman's armor's arms, and in the explosion of firelight, Tony's upward power to fly is destroyed.

Super Mark immediately activated the thrusters behind him.

But Batman waved his hand, and two sharp batarang stabbed into Tony's back, piercing the propulsion system with precision.

"Bang"

Tony was thrown to the ground, where he was half-kneeling with his arms raised, parrying Batman's mechanical punches.

The power of this suit is barely within the range that Super Mark can withstand.

The defense of the Super Mark, which was upgraded again after the Battle of the Phoenix, has also been increased.

"Melee modifier!"

Tony shouted, and the melee assist system was immediately activated on the projection in front of him.

An energy cannon erupts from his chest, knocking Batman back.

When the aura of the energy cannon dissipated, the red-gold Super Mark had already rushed up and smashed his fist into Batman who was unsteady under his feet in front of him.

The latter dodged the blow and threw punches to Tony.

After a few seconds, the Iron Man, who had been punched several times, staggered back, looked at the melee support module still working on the projection, and asked:

"Edith, is the data wrong? Why can't I hit him? ”

"The target's melee skills are far superior to yours, and Edith doesn't recommend hand-to-hand combat with him."

The battle said a word with artificial intelligence, and then manipulated the warframe to turn his head and dodge Batman's heavy punch.

But the fist that grazed Tony's head swung sideways the next moment, like a swinging war hammer, striking Tony in the face.

"Knort"

The sound of metal clashing was like Huang Zhong Da Lu, and in the midst of the shock, the iron man was knocked to the ground.

Tony tries to get back up, but is knocked out by a punch from Batman,

What approached was a continuous hand-to-hand beating, and he also fell into the dilemma that Superman had just been.

He tries to fight back, but every punch he throws in the panic is easily dodged by Batman.

The boxer-like guy surrounded him, throwing a lightning punch or kick to shatter Iron Man's defenses, and then seize the holes in the defenses to strike back.

Tony was beaten and dizzy, and with Super Mark's defense and protection, he didn't really get hurt.

But the embarrassment and embarrassment reflected in the system data still make the iron man feel angry, but there is nothing to be done.

He felt like he was taking a martial arts class.

His "trainer" was teaching him what it meant to fight in a way that destroyed his faith!

"Are you dancing?"

"Always unsteady, right?"

"I like to hide in armor and be a hero, huh?"

Batman's ridicule also reached Tony's ears from time to time, constantly stirring up negative emotions in his heart and making him more agitated.

Impatience means recklessness, and recklessness exposes more weaknesses.

"Bang"

Super Mark crossed his arms and barely blocked the batsuit's punch combo.

Tony's breathing was heavy as he looked at the sign on the projection that the thruster had been repaired.

The next moment, in the jet of plasma flames, Super Mark soared into the sky.

On the ground, he's no match for this guy.

But as long as he distances himself, he believes that with Super Mark's firepower, he can definitely take out this guy easily.

But just as he was flying more than ten meters, Batman flipped a button on the batsuit.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Three sticky bombs left behind the Supermark explode, shattering the newly repaired propulsion system.

The violent shock rose behind Tony's back.

Caught off guard, the burst of fire threw him to the ground again.

"Bang"

The Iron Man slammed into the ground in an embarrassed manner, and the impact of the impact on the ground knocked the ground beneath him into a splash of bricks and stones.

In front of his eyes, Bruce looked at Tony, who was on fire, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"I've heard that Merlin has been training you in all sorts of tactics, and he's got the best martial artist, Steve, who has a lot of combat experience. Rogers is here to train you..."

"It's a pity that you don't look like a good student."

"Wow"

Super Mark's fire extinguishing system activated, and the gas sprayed extinguished the flames left behind by the explosion behind him, and as the smoke rose, Tony climbed up with his badly injured suit.

"I'm just fighting in a smarter way..."

Tony looked at Batman in front of him and said:

"And I'm prepared for any situation... Sorry, Batman, this wasn't meant for you! ”

"Bang"

Several clashing crumbling sounds rang out in the Trident building behind the two, and four flames rushed like arrows into the battlefield where Batman and Iron Man fought.

Tony turned on his last resort.

4 units of different models of SuperMark, which were barely assembled in a short time, entered the autonomous combat mode.

The moment they landed, they cooperated with the attack on Batman, and in the precise manipulation of artificial intelligence, these four armors were like a whole, forcing Batman to constantly retreat.

Seeing Batman being entangled, Tony's hands immediately clasped together.

The enhanced version of the Heavy Cannon of Destruction, which had previously shattered the power of the Phoenix, was erected, and in the energy of the Ark Reactor, Tony quickly completed the lock-on aiming.

"Boom"

Beams of scorching light shot out from the tip of Iron Man's arm, engulfing Batman and the four armors that bound him in unison.

After a few seconds, the light faded.

Several barely assembled Super Mark suits were shattered, and at the end of a scorching, smoke-emitting trench, Batman's suit was shattered.

Even Batman himself was knocked to the ground in Iron Man's Jedi counterattack.

The armor protected him in the final moments, but he was still wounded.

The black bat armor on his body was also shattered, and under the torn battle intent, Batman's arms were also covered with dried blood stains.

He lay in the shreds of his suit, his body emitting gunsmoke as if he had been roasted.

Extremely miserable.

Tony stood up, and in the flames burning around him, he walked up to Batman, who looked at the badly wounded Dark Knight at his feet.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"It works well..."

"It's just a bit extravagant... But, I won. ”

He bent down and tried to lift Batman off the ground.

But the moment his steel fingers touched Bruce's collar, Bruce suddenly opened his eyes.

He coughed a few times and said to the iron man in front of him:

"I'm sorry too."

"Huh?"

In Batman's hoarse voice, more than ten meters behind the two, a low and wild engine sound suddenly broke out.

The Batmobile, parked by the bridge, seemed to have a life of its own, howling through the darkness and crashing into Tony, who was about to grab Bruce.

The car's black shell flipped over, just like the other Cybertrons had when they were transformed.

Under Tony's surprised gaze, Bruce's car quickly transforms in a dizzying process.

A Cybertron with a Bathelmet stood behind Bruce.

It lowered its head and looked at Iron Man indifferently.

Tony turned and ran, but the next moment, a heavy steel giant punch struck from behind, blasting Tony into the canvas along with Super Mark.

"It's not for you..."

Bruce struggled to his feet, his cloak torn, as the Batmobile's shape-shifting robot continued to beat Tony.

He looked up at the other side of the bridge, where the thunder was still rolling.

"Merlin... You've built a great team... I admit I underestimated them. ”

Batman wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and he said:

"I'm sorry."

"All I can do is help you get here..."
