Chapter 155: I'm Iron Man!
Although it was against Tony's promise, Jarvis, as his AI steward, faithfully carried out his orders, reactivating the blockaded military facility and launching a super-nuke from it to wipe out the Zetari spacefleet that had entered the solar system.
But there is a huge problem with this, that is, the nuclear bomb was not originally designed for space operations, and its range is far from enough to reach an alien fleet tens of thousands of kilometers away from Earth.
The portal over New York is no longer a two-way portal, so there is only one way to send this nuclear bomb out.
"Jarvis, get all the remaining energy into the thrusters."
The moment Tony gave this order, Jarvis reminded him, "Sir, you don't have enough energy to return to Earth. ”
Despite not hearing Tony talking to Jarvis inside the Iron Suit, the rest of the Avengers realized something was wrong with him.
Captain America asked him, "Stark, what are you going to do?" ”
They then saw a nuclear bomb launch from the Stark Industries military base near New York, heading straight into space, aiming at the Zetarian space fleet.
At this moment, everyone in the Avengers realized what Tony wanted to do.
"Tony, don't!"
Captain America just wanted to stop Tony from doing this, but he saw Tony looking at them and said in a firm tone:
"I ...... It is...... Iron Man! ”
This sentence is not so much to tell others as to warn oneself.
Now he is no longer the playboy of the game life he used to be, but a superhero who tries to carry the world on his shoulders!
Then, before the others could react, Tony activated the thrusters with all his might, and chased the nuclear bomb he had launched.
Qiao Lu didn't expect him to do this, this is really a nuclear bomb to be used, and a nuclear bomb is also necessary to make a nuclear bomb without a nuclear bomb!
But now that the nuclear bombs have been launched, it's too late to stop him.
Qiao Lu had no choice but to secretly contact the Wandering Earth Headquarters and said, "Luo Feng, there is a person on my side who is flying towards you. If he's still alive, please take care of him. ”
"I see." Luo Feng replied briefly, the Wandering Earth side is also making final preparations for battle.
High in the air, Tony finally catches up with the super nuclear bomb he has launched.
He carried the nuclear bomb on his back, and with the extra propulsion provided by the steel suit, he finally broke through the atmosphere with the nuclear bomb and rushed into space.
At this moment, everyone on the earth is paying attention to his actions, because in their opinion, Iron Man Tony, who rushed into space with a nuclear bomb, is undoubtedly the last hope of mankind.
He is the only one who has the ability to rush to the Zetari space fleet with a nuclear bomb, and take this strongest weapon of human civilization in the Marvel Universe to destroy this group of invaders in the solar system.
Although there is still little hope, he does evoke a little fire in people's hearts.
What if it works?
After passing through the atmosphere, Tony finally saw the massive fleet of the Zetarians with his own eyes.
The majestic Templar One sits right in the middle of the fleet, and its sheer size prevents Tony from even seeing the sun.
Hundreds of frigates and destroyers roamed it, each of which is a powerful weapon of war that human civilization cannot produce at the current industrial capacity.
It is no wonder that such a fleet appears near Earth, and even Tony, who rushes up with a determination to die, can't help but wonder if the nuclear bomb in his hand is powerful enough to destroy them.
But no matter what, he's going to make this last stand!
Because, he is Iron Man!
On Earth, Captain America, who saw the image of Tony rushing to the alien fleet in space through the news media, realized a terrible truth.
"He didn't slow down at all, so he wouldn't be able to come back!"
That's right, Tony used the last of his steel suit's energy to send the nuclear bomb to the Zetari fleet at the cost of his own gravitational pull away from the Earth's gravity, maintaining the speed at which he broke out of the Earth's atmosphere, and drifting through the universe forever.
In fact, after he broke away from the gravitational pull of the earth, the energy of the steel suit was on the verge of exhaustion.
Tony uses the last bit of electricity to call Pepper, but the Iron Suit runs out of energy before the call can be connected.
His hands also weakly released from the nuclear bomb, allowing the super nuclear bomb to continue to accelerate towards the Zetari fleet with the last fuel.
Tony, on the other hand, was trapped in a steel suit, floating alone in space, watching as the nuclear bomb he launched rushed towards the Zetari space fleet with the last hope.
It was the only thing he could do in the end.
The Super Nuke flew straight towards Templar One, and managed to detonate into a massive nuclear fireball that engulfed several starships, including Templar One.
He pinned his hopes on this final blow!
Everyone on Earth was as eagerly awaited as Tony to see Temple 1 completely shattered by a nuclear explosion and the Zetarian space fleet forced to retreat.
However, the reality is always cruel, and when the fireball formed by the nuclear explosion slowly subsided, the Temple One was still intact, and even the surrounding frigates and destroyers were not destroyed by the nuclear bomb.
Because this distance is too long, before the arrival of the super nuclear bomb, they have enough time to deploy the energy shield, and easily block the impact of this nuclear bomb that does not have much penetrating power.
In the final analysis, the fact that a nuclear bomb can be effective against starships is just human wishful thinking.
Essentially, what a nuclear bomb lacks is the penetrating power that can penetrate the energy shield, and failing to overcome this weakness and simply increasing the power of the explosion is just repeating the mistakes of the past.
Iron Man's last fight was also completely invalid.
Seeing this, Tony closed his eyes in despair.
He wasn't entirely unaware of this, but it was still so hard to accept when reality lay out so brutally.
By inertia, he was still flying at high speed towards the intact Zetari fleet, while Temple One, commanded by General Deathblade and Proxima Centauri in the Night, was still moving closer to Earth.
On Temple One, Proxima Centauri noticed Tony Stark, who had run out of energy and flew out of control, and asked the Dead Blade General for instructions:
"Is there a worm coming at us again, going to shoot him down?"
The Dead Blade General also noticed Tony's situation, shook his head disdainfully, and said:
"No need, let him be trapped in the armor and wait to die, desperately waiting in space to run out of oxygen and suffocate to death, that is the cruelest punishment for mankind."
This kind of despair is indeed more painful than any pain.
Especially after a painful defeat.
