There is still no clue to Hulk's whereabouts, and General Ross does seem completely unaware. The only remaining possibility is that someone hacked into his base from the outside, tampered with the data of the prison system and turned off the gamma field.

But if that's going to happen, then that person must be pretty powerful. At least Tony knew he couldn't. It's not hard to break through the firewalls of military facilities, and it may be a little tricky to go there without leaving any data fingerprints in the process, but it's not impossible. But tampering with military data without leaving a trace, or even remotely controlling a gamma generator with top-notch security measures? That's simply not possible.

In fact, he believed that there were only a handful of people in the world who could do this, and it just so happened that Tony knew that there was a guy who could do it, and that guy was still at large.

Ultron, the demon he created with his own hands.

If it had been as he had originally envisioned, Ultron would indeed be a super-AI capable of doing this – or more. Ultron can easily break any firewall in the world, hack any organization and any organization. Ultron is invincible in the data world, and no firewall in the network can block it, and it is naturally not a problem to hack into a military base.

If that's the case, then it's his responsibility again - Tony always feels that as long as Ultron is still at large, everything he does should be counted on his head.

By surprise, he once again picked up the syringe of the Desperate Virus that had been debugged not long ago, and stood at the experimental table in his laboratory for a long time, his expression flickering.

If all goes well, the new Desperate Virus will give him powers beyond those of humans. He will gain great reflexes and self-healing abilities, and based on this foundation, he will be able to control armor that he could not control in the past.

One of the reasons why Iron Man's armor is difficult to upgrade and improve is the limitation of earth technology, and another important reason is the driver.

At the end of the day, Tony Stark is just a human after all. As a human, his stamina and reflexes have limits, and he is even a little too sluggish for the enemies Iron Man has to face. And when interacting with the armor system in actual combat, the computer must first capture his brain waves, and then translate the radio waves into machine instructions and then input them to the armor to achieve various operations. Although this is a cutting-edge technology within a cutting-edge technology, it is still a bit sluggish in actual combat.

So with the help of the Desperate Virus, Tony has an extremely bold, even crazy, idea.

After these days of retreat in the lab, Tony has completed a completely new set of Warframe developments. This Iron Man suit truly transcends the limits of the current generation of human technology, and even for Tony Stark, it is already a creation that breaks through his own limits. It's equipped with the best weapons and incredibly powerful. Because it has a huge technical performance span compared to previous models of the Iron Man suit, Tony named it "Genesis".

But the biggest flaw in this suit of armor lies in the driver.

It was so good and powerful that Tony's own reflexes were completely out of control, and the burden of operating the suit was simply beyond the reach of an ordinary body. So that's where the desperate virus is needed. Tony's idea is to use the power of desperation to truly "merge" this new suit with his own physical body, helping him become a real Iron Man from the inside out.

And the risk, as mentioned before, is the Desperate Virus itself. Although the 2.0 version of the Desperate Situation is better, its effect is also more intense. If the subject's body fails to support the column during the remodeling process and collapses, he will be greeted not with strengthening, but with death.

"What's that, Tony?"

Just as he was still hesitating about the dose of the Desperate Virus, a questioning voice came from behind him. Tony recovered from his wandering state, and when he turned around, he saw Rogers standing at the door of the lab, frowning at the syringe in his hand.

"Nothing." Displeased, Tony handed the syringe to one of the lab's robotic arms and told it to put away the Desperate Virus. He said a little stiffly, "If you keep disturbing my private time like this, then I will have to consider confiscating your access to the lab." ”

"I know that expression. It doesn't look like 'nothing'. Rogers didn't give up, "What are you going to inject yourself into, Tony?" ”

"It's just a little bit of a doping-like thing." Tony wasn't interested in dwelling on him. He mumbled a word, then walked over to the Iron Man armor that was on standby and slipped in, as if trying to borrow his armor to avoid face-to-face with the captain.

Rogers stared at him for a moment, then said, "If you're trying to use some strange drug to gain power, that's unwise, Tony. Excessive pursuit of power will not lead to good results, this is the conclusion I have come to after seeing countless vivid examples. You don't have to ......."

"The power of the person who says this comes from a small vial of magical serum." Tony interrupted rudely, "Alright, you're my friend, Captain. But I don't have to report to you for everything. That's the end of it, and I don't want to talk about it anymore – that's all. I know what I'm doing, I'm a genius, remember? I've got my own measure. ”

"Sometimes geniuses need to be reminded, Tony. I have to ......"

"Wait." Tony interrupted him with a wave of his hand, frowning, "Wait a minute, there's something a little ...... Odd. ”

The Armor's energy spectrum detection module automatically popped up the alarm, and the readings in the interface showed that the concentration of gamma radiation in the air was gradually rising, and the green energy gauge representing the concentration was rapidly rising.

It soared extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the green energy gauge broke through the cordon in one go. The built-in computer gives a warning that "the radiation is seriously exceeded", and then the Iron Man armor activates a fully enclosed mode to block the penetration of radiation.

"What's the situation?" Tony was stunned, "Jarvis, scan the radiation source." ”

Bang dang. He heard the crunch of metal hitting the ground.

Tony looked back in disbelief to see Rogers half-kneeling on the ground in agony. He tried to reach for the lab table, but he didn't pay attention to the force and pushed the lab table parallel to the plane, crashing into the wall.

"Captain?!"

There was no answer, just a moan that seemed to be mixed with pain and anger. He watched in amazement as Captain America's body swelled, his skin turned green, his fingertips grew sharp claws, and his whole person turned into a monster that was very similar to Hulk's painting style in the blink of an eye!

He turned his head and locked onto Iron Man with his eyes that had turned green and were filled with pure rage.

"Roar!!
