Chapter 121: The Power of Love
Over the African continent, Iron Man is heading at full speed.
Before Belle left the United States for Romania, she told all the information she knew about Wakanda, including the president.
Even though the debriefing was top secret, Tony Stark, the de facto leader of the Avengers, knew about it.
There are no impermeable walls in this world.
So, this time, he came prepared.
As the former world's No. 1 arms tycoon and the sole maker of the Iron Man Armor, Tony Stark has always represented the most advanced productivity in the weapons industry.
Although he doesn't have vibranium, with his top IQ, rich experience in weapon development, and amazing technical accumulation, the set of armor he is wearing now has been armed enough to break through a small country.
He wasn't going to war with Wakanda, but he was determined to get rid of whatever files stood between him and the Winter Soldier, whether it was a man or a god.
And Wakanda, under Belle's "friendly request", has provided all resources and technology except for the army, just to save the life of the Winter Soldier.
The confrontation between the two sides began before Iron Man arrived in Wakanda.
Princess Suri took matters into her own hands to take Wakanda's lead, breaking through Tony Stark's secret communication lines and connecting Belle and Iron Man.
Beyond the canopy of Wakanda, Belle was suspended alone at an altitude of fifteen thousand meters, dutifully guarded by the "Absolute Realm", shielding her from heat, lack of oxygen, drafts, and ultraviolet rays from all external factors that could harm her fragile body.
This is the stratosphere, the lower limit is seven to ten kilometers from the ground, and the upper limit is fifty kilometers from the ground, because the air flow here is mainly advection, there is no upper and lower air flow, and the air visibility is high, there are few impurities, low noise, and there are no birds, which is the best flight altitude for long-distance aircraft to carry out cruise flights.
Wakanda's satellites have already discovered Iron Man, and after Su Rui's calculations, Belle's current position is just in the way of Iron Man's progress.
"Mr. Stark, I know you can hear me, and I know you've spotted me," Belle said, "Can you slow down a little, Mach two hits the Absolute Realm, I'm not sure how I'm doing, but you're sure you're not even a slag." ”
Most of the time, Iron Man is not a brute force, but today, he will not budge because of this threat.
"Little girl, if you don't get out of the way, it won't be me who will hit you first, but ten Jericho missiles."
Su Rui was listening to the conversation between the two, and the moment Iron Man finished talking about the missile, she immediately detected ten targets flying at high speed.
"He's serious, Belle," Su Rui said anxiously, "Get out of the way!" ”
"Don't worry, even if there are ten nuclear bombs, I won't die." "I'm going to disappear from the radar for a while, not I'm dead, I'll reappear after a while." ”
After saying that, she calmly launched the "Complete Stealth" and entered the inner world.
She was still in place, but everything around her seemed a little blurry, all black and white.
She doesn't believe that Iron Man will actually kill him, but she is sure that Tony Stark will carefully study the weaknesses of each Avengers member, and then develop tactics or weapons in a targeted manner.
In terms of Iron Man's combat effectiveness, among all the Avengers, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Falcon, and Captain America can hardly be considered a threat, so they are not Tony's focus.
War Machine Roddy is his best friend, and Spider-Man Peter Parker has always respected him as a father, not to mention that the armor of these two people itself was made by him, so it is not a big problem.
He thought hard about how to deal with those who were stronger than him if the situation got out of hand, such as Thor, Hulk, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Belle.
No one knows exactly how many weapons he developed in secret, but the Hulk-resistant armor "Veronica" he developed with Dr. Banner did shine and successfully suppressed the rampaging Hulk in South Africa, avoiding an even greater catastrophe.
And the sonic emitter equipped for the war machine is a weapon to restrain the Scarlet Witch. The activation of chaos magic requires a decision to concentrate, and under the interference of super sonic waves, Wanda has a splitting headache and is unable to fight at all.
But he has never had a good idea of what Belle can do, because Belle's ability exceeds his comprehension, and he has made rapid progress, and the telepathic shielding series of jewels he has developed with great difficulty have only been updated for two generations and can no longer be maintained.
So now, he can only take some more radical methods.
It was with this in mind that he launched ten improved miniature Jericho missiles, which did not do much damage but had a strong impact.
The Absolute Realm protects Belle from harm, but it does not guarantee that she will not be displaced by the shockwave.
Ten missiles have been carefully calculated, from different angles, different distances exploded one after another, the powerful shock wave is enough to limit Belle for at least twenty seconds, at the speed of Iron Man's Mach two, it has already flown out at least thirteen kilometers, even with the "space jump", it is impossible to move so far in a short period of time.
He brought far more than ten such miniature "Jericho missiles".
Moreover, what Su Rui detected was only a pair of remote-controlled battle armor, and the armor that Tony Stark himself was in had turned on a stealth mode that was more advanced than that of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quint fighter, and quietly approached the giant canopy shield in Wakanda.
Even with Belle, Peter, and Captain America planning together, they still underestimate Tony Stark, not only his determination, but also his skill and intelligence.
Those who can lead the Avengers do not rely on blood, but on both wisdom and bravery.
In a short period of time, Stark's stealth technology has advanced to the point where Wakanda's satellites and radars cannot see through it.
Obviously in a state where he should be carried away by the obsession of revenge, Iron Man still maintained rational thinking, he formulated tactics in a targeted manner, and only used a decoy to attract everyone's attention.
At least Captain America, Peter, and Su Rui were all deceived. They were shocked by Iron Man's decisiveness, and Captain America was even about to rush out, if he really sacrificed Belle to save Bucky's life, he would definitely not be able to accept it.
"Don't worry, captain," said Peter, "she says it's all right, and it's going to be all right." ”
Aside from Belle herself, Peter is the one who knows the most about "complete stealth", and he believes that Belle doesn't keep her word for it, and that she can survive even if there are ten nuclear bombs.
"But looking at this posture, Mr. Stark is bound to win, I'm afraid Belle can't really stop him, we may have to be ready."
"I know," the captain said to Peter thoughtfully, "if there is a real war for a while, you don't have to make a move, I know that Tony is important to you, and I will not embarrass you." ”
They were busy flexing their minds, but Belle saw everything in the air.
Belle failed to correctly predict Iron Man's determination and skills, and Tony Stark underestimated Belle's strength.
He didn't know anything about the "inner world", and all the abilities obtained by using the energy of the "inner world" were only seen by Peter and Helen and a few others.
So Iron Man thought that the Jericho missile could restrain Belle, but he didn't expect that she hid in another world, observed Tony Stark's location from a higher dimension, and then rushed over as fast as she could.
During this time, the Iron Man Warframe has completed a preliminary scan and analysis of the Wakanda defensive walls.
"Sir, the strength of the defensive wall is not particularly high, and if you brute-force it, you can enter it in fifteen seconds at most, but this will definitely attract the attention of the other party," said the artificial intelligence Friday, "According to the scan results, the range of the defensive wall is limited to above the ground, and you can choose to dive in from underground." ”
"Then let's do it." Stark said, "Is the signal on the Winter Soldier confirmed?" ”
"Sir, the DNA scanner we got from Hydra scientist Dr. Zola is not mature, and since this wall of defense can shield satellite signals, our satellites can't locate the Winter Soldier."
"Damn," Tony scolded, "if Project Ultron had worked out then, it wouldn't be so troublesome now." ”
"Personally, I'm in favor of Ultron's plan, but if you're going to use global forces to serve yourself, I'll be the first to kill you."
Belle suddenly appears behind Iron Man and complains about Project Ultron by the way. Ever since she mastered "Total Stealth", she's been hooked on the sensation of scaring people.
This time, though, she was destined to be disappointed.
"If you could use your abilities in more meaningful ways, I wouldn't have to worry about it so much." Stark said, "This is my private matter, don't meddle in it." ”
"Your private business?" Belle asked rhetorically, "Iron Man's invasion of Wakanda is not a private matter, at best, this is a serious diplomatic incident, and at worst, this is the trigger for war." ”
"I'm just here to catch a murderer, a murderer that the police and the military can't deal with." Stark said, "If you still have a little sense of responsibility as an Avenger, even if you don't help me, you shouldn't stop me." ”
"Come on," Belle said impatiently, "I'm not fooling you, and you don't have to talk about this uselessness to me, Mr. Stark, I know what you've been through, and I just want to tell you that if you do kill him, you'll not only end your hatred, but you'll spend the rest of your life in regret and self-blame." ”
"That bastard killed my mom!" Stark gritted his teeth and said, "What about the rest of his life?" Is there a trace of regret and self-blame? ”
"Sir, I'm not trying to persuade you to give up hatred, it's just that you have a lot more important than hatred." "We all need you, and the world needs you. Even if you can kill the Winter Soldier, the charge of starting a war in Wakanda would be enough to sentence you to life in prison! What about the Avengers? There is no Iron Man in this world anymore, can you imagine what will happen? Even if you don't care about that, what about Pepper? ”
Hearing Pepper's name, Iron Man finally hesitated.
But Friday, very ignorant of the times, suddenly said at this time:
"Sir, a DNA signal suspected to be James Buchanan Barnes has been detected, and he is with Captain Rogers and has just left the range of the defensive wall."
"Pepper will understand me."
Iron Man put this sentence aside, suddenly activated the thruster, and shouted at Belle: "If you chase after it again, it won't be as simple as a Jericho missile." ”
"Damn," Belle scolded, "the AI really can't be trusted." ”
Ignoring Iron Man's threat, she used both "Absolute Domain" and "Space Folding" and chased after him without hesitation.
Seeing Belle suddenly stop in front of him, Iron Man didn't spare his hand, and when he raised his hand, he saw a red laser, he once used this powerful laser to cut off dozens of battle armors in an instant, even if it was Belle, she couldn't dare to solve it, no matter what, she had to dodge.
Once again, he underestimated Belle, and the red laser passed through her body as if through a phantom, causing no damage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Belle also came up with a killer idea:
"Even if you don't think about Pepper, you can't ignore the baby in her belly, right?"
