Chapter 361: Petrifying Magic, Absorbing Steel
Just as Thor was fighting with the Hulk and Cynthia, the daughter of the Red Skull, two streets away.
A steel suit painted in red and gold rushed back to Manhattan in time.
"Oh my God! What's going on here? ”
Tony Stark looked at the block at his feet, feeling horrified, and the cold hairs on his back stood on end.
It's so quiet.
Compared to the sensational explosion over there, there was no sound here, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
There are no living people on the streets, only lifelike stone sculptures standing everywhere.
There was a palpable panic and fear on their faces.
I seem to have seen some kind of monster, or a terrible sight!
"Jarvis, scan the entire street, connect the surveillance probes around it."
Tony Stark subconsciously lowered his voice.
In an extremely quiet environment, the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
"I don't know what's going on with S.H.I.E.L.D., those damn bastards have turned the world into a battlefield, chaos spreads, and fear grows."
Iron Man has just finished dealing with that riot in London.
A Heavenly Hammer Venerable attacked the Prime Minister's residence.
That guy can change the sky, trigger tornadoes and lightning thunderstorms, and is a tough super criminal.
Iron Man, Hawkeye and Ant-Man II, they took a lot of effort to barely repel each other.
After receiving a message from S.H.I.E.L.D. asking for help, Tony Stark leaves the job of cleaning up the battlefield to Hawkeye.
He hurriedly returned to North America and flew to Manhattan.
"Sir, three hundred meters away, a survivor was found."
Jarvis accessed all of Manhattan's surveillance cameras and spotted a middle-aged man hiding nearby.
He hid in a dark alley and curled up behind a garbage can.
"A strange catastrophe that swept through and turned everyone like this?"
Tony Stark made a preliminary judgment that his psychological quality and endurance have greatly improved as he has joined the Avengers over the years and dealt with all kinds of supercriminals.
Aliens, exotic gods, and even mysterious mages...... Etcetera.
Iron Man has encountered them all.
He scans his surroundings and is alert to enemies;
As he approached the alley, he was ready to get more news from the other side.
"Hello, I'm the Avengers, Iron Man, Tony Stark...... Dude, I think you see me on TV or on the news a lot, right? ”
Tony, who reported his home, used his humorous cells as always, trying to relieve the pressure of the other party.
"You need medical help, or ......"
The middle-aged man huddled in the corner of the wall waved his hands vigorously and said in a low voice: "Shhh Don't talk! ”
"You can't do anything, that's a monster!"
Iron Man could see the deep fear in the middle-aged man's eyes, he was like a terrified child, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
"Hey, I'm an Avenger, I can ......"
Boom!
A huge figure fell to the ground.
interrupted Iron Man's words of comfort.
"Tony Stark ......"
A gruff voice, like rusty metal rubbing.
Iron Man saw through his helmet and saw the uninvited guest clearly.
As the middle-aged man said, he is a monster.
Nearly three meters tall, its entire body glows with a shiny black hue of steel.
It is like a "swamp monster" that absorbs a lot of metal and glues it together.
The eyes glowed with a dull yellow glow, and he held a conspicuous square hammer in his right hand.
"Destruction!"
The Iron Geek let out a roar, and the hammer swung out a circle of dark green flames.
Like flames, it rose against the storm and filled the alley.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Iron Man hurriedly erected an alloy shield and prepared to resist the attack.
It's just that the faint green light flame did not touch himself, but wore a gold and red steel suit.
Click.
Iron Man turned his head sharply and saw that the middle-aged man had turned into a stone sculpture in an instant.
On his face, there was an incomparably deep look of fear.
"It turned out to be you."
Iron Man's voice was full of anger.
He raised his two mechanical arms and blasted beams of light from his palms, knocking the hammer-wielding monster into the air.
"Sir, I searched for relevant information from the S.H.I.E.L.D. database."
Jarvis's intelligent voice gives information in a timely manner to facilitate the battle later.
"His name is Carl Creel, and he used to be a boxer and later worked for Hydra."
"Codenamed 'Absorber', it is capable of altering the body's molecular structure and mimicking any material it comes into contact with."
Iron Man nodded, no wonder this guy was covered in metal.
Like the hard shell of a turtle, it has a strong defense.
"What about the hammer that petrifles people? Can you analyze any useful information? ”
The steel suit flew into the air, temporarily out of the battlefield.
"Can't scan, let alone detect."
Jarvis replied helplessly.
"Well, looks like I'm going to have to fight alone."
Iron Man pouted, he hated things that couldn't be explained and quantified by science.
Like, magic.
Roar!
"Destruction!"
The absorber held the Hammer of the Destroyer, screamed, and rushed into the air.
The strong bouncing force made him smash in front of Iron Man like a long-charged cannonball.
The hammer that was picked up brought up a strong sound of the wind, as if it was pumping the air!
Boom!
The steel suit of nano materials instantly condensed into an alloy square shield.
However, Tony Stark seemed to have underestimated the true strength of the Celestial Hammer Venerable, and the heavy force directly shattered the strong shield that was strong enough to withstand the artillery.
The steel suit was slammed into the ground like a bullet out of the chamber, whirling at great speed.
"Thirty percent of the suit is damaged, and the repair process is underway."
"A broken rib was detected, a large area of muscle contusion was detected, and a medical procedure is being initiated."
“……”
Sirens rang in the helmet of the steel suit and kept ringing in Tony Stark's ears.
"It's like being hit by a car—"
He had the idea.
"Destruction!"
That's all the weirdo seems to say.
He landed firmly on the ground and walked towards Iron Man.
With every step, the street shakes.
It's very oppressive!
"Do you want to know why I talk a lot of nonsense on the battlefield?"
Iron Man, who had a slight concussion, finally regained his consciousness.
Despite the pain all over his body, he struggled to get up.
The words came through the loudspeakers and far away.
"Sometimes I ask myself how when I meet an enemy, I become like that baby spider who likes to wear pajamas, like he can't stop talking and saying stupid things."
Iron Man's hands are put together, and the parts of the robotic arm bite together, forming a huge cannon barrel.
The Ark reactor in his chest was constantly recharged, making nearly ten cannon ports glow with white light.
"—because we're terrified, because we're afraid."
Iron Man grabbed the ground with his legs and smashed deep into the concrete pavement like a piledriver, which was to prevent himself from being swept away by the amazing recoil.
"That's right, superheroes are also afraid of death, afraid of being hurt, afraid of losing."
"Some people are scared by fear, but some people ...... They can turn fear into strength! ”
Rumble!
The high temperature that melts everything erupts in the air!
The absorber raised the Hammer of the Destroyer, and the terrifying divine power rippled in circles, blocking the terrifying energy cannon like a force field.
"By the way, I'll call it the 'Gustav Cannon', and it can raze half a city!"
Tony Stark still hasn't shut up.
He tried to hold his ground, but to little avail.
The energy cannon unleashed with all its might propelled the steel suit and kept moving backwards.
The ground dragged out a deep ravine, as if it had been plowed over.
It's also not easy to absorb people.
His "metal shell" is like ice cream in high temperatures, slowly melting.
As the two confronted each other, a void vortex suddenly opened.
Thor, the god of thunder carrying Mjolnir, and Loki.
They then appeared and rushed to the battlefield.
"Looks like you're in a little trouble, Stark!"
Thor said with a smirk, carrying Loki to the ground.
"You can't die just yet—unless you're going to stand aside and watch a show."
Iron Man struggled to squeeze the words out of his mouth.
"Don't worry, the earth is saved! I brought with me - the armies of the nine worlds! ”
Thor said happily.
He glanced at the Heavenly Hammer Venerable, a hint of disgust in his eyes.
The minions of the Great Serpent Kur are the enemies of Asgard!
"Let me take care of this guy."
Thor raised his hand and threw out Mjörnir.
The Thunder Warhammer pierced the atmosphere, emitting an electric current that struck the absorbing man who was barely supporting.
"Thor, don't let him ...... Hit your hammer! ”
Iron Man seemed to think of something, and said eagerly.
However, it was late.
