Brooklyn, underground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Humid air blows along the vertical and horizontal pipes, and water droplets drip down at the pipe interfaces. The cool wind whispers like a woman's whisper, telling the secrets hidden deep in the darkness ahead.

Tony and Eric walked along one side of the wall, surrounded by deep darkness on all sides, as if there were countless demons waiting for them. Fortunately, both of them have night vision in their armor, and darkness is not a big problem, but the atmosphere is uncomfortably cold.

"Are you sure a mysterious villain would be hiding in this kind of place?" Eric looked around and said, "It's more like the hiding place I would pick when I'm desperate." ”

"Reverse positioning shows that the server terminal is here." "And it's not as simple as it seems. Despite being well hidden, my armor scanned for a heat source reaction in front of me, which must be quite a few. ”

After a few more steps, he stopped and began to look around slowly.

"If Jarvis wasn't mistaken — he rarely gets it — this would be what we're looking for."

At the same time as the words fell, Iron Man's right arm was raised, and a beam of repulsive light roared out from his palm, piercing the stone wall.

It turned out that the back of this floor was actually hollow, and this cannon directly penetrated into an incomparably open hemispherical building. The space about the size of two football fields is extremely empty, and the inner walls are surrounded by circular aisles.

"Looks like you've found the right one." Eric whispered.

Tony shouted, "Don't you turn on the lights to greet the guests when they come?" Izquirkil? ”

"Sir, the scan found no animate reaction inside." Jarvis reminded.

"Are you not at home?" Tony muttered.

As if in response to him, the moment his words fell, the white light suddenly lit up. The darkness was suddenly dispelled, and the entire space was occupied by incandescent light in an instant, making people dizzy.

Several projection devices attached to the inner wall were activated, and they turned slowly like electronic cameras, projecting a three-dimensional bald old man in the center, with a large white beard on his chin and a sly glint in his eyes.

Both recognized it at a glance as Obadiah Stan.

"Long time no see, Tony." The image spoke, even grinning, and the lingering evil and hatred that filled the smile was simply vivid.

After a pause, he added, "Oh, it's not long for you, but it's long enough for me." After all, the last time we met...... You killed me. ”

Tony could tell that it was indeed Obadi's voice.

"What are you playing, Izquikyl?" Tony asked, "Do you want to make me feel guilty about killing your father in this way?" ”

"You doubt my son, I think it must have been because I borrowed his name to keep something important." "But I can assure you that I am who I am." ”

"Impossible." Tony said bluntly, "I watched Obadiah die in front of me. ”

Or...... Maybe it's not him, it's just consciousness. Eric suddenly guessed, "Obadistein is indeed dead, but before that he backed up his memories and created this virtual personality." ”

This is not without precedent, and there are similar plot designs in movies and comics.

Tony said, "It's impossible, this old man doesn't have such skills." ”

Obadiah laughed, "Cocky as always, Tony, always feeling like he's ahead of his time. But the truth is, while you can't do it, someone does. Someone downloaded my consciousness and made me the person I am today. I admit that when I was defeated by you, I was unwilling to do so, and my resentment towards you has accumulated to an unprecedented level. But now, I must thank you - it is because you defeated me that I was freed from the rotten shell of humanity and gained eternal life. ”

"Eternal life? Are you referring to this state of being dead or alive? Eric exclaimed, "I don't care if you're crazy or not, I just need you to answer me one question - who made you like this?" Who robbed the Iron Overlord's armor? ”

Obadiah glanced at him and chuckled.

"It's okay to tell you, but ......"

The old man's projection of this face suddenly changed in style, like a scheming careerist turned into a hungry beast in an instant.

"That doesn't make sense anymore, because you're all going to be wiped out soon!"

Obadi's face vanished, and a circular crack opened in the center of the floor tiles reflecting white light, and the huge black armor stood on the platform and slowly rose, and it was the Iron Overlord. At this moment, the dazzling white light poured on the Iron Overlord's armor, and the two of them could see clearly, and it turned out that its appearance had also changed slightly. The forearms seem to be equipped with pipes to transport energy, and the thick waist and shoulders are equipped with parts that are distinctly different from the original.

"I've beaten you once," Iron Man shouted with his hands raised, "and one more time!" ”

The repulsive beam roared out, and the white beam of energy rushed towards him. However, just before the beam hit the target, the systems in the Iron Overlord's waist and shoulders activated as if they had automatically sensed danger. A vague layer of dark green shield formed in front of him, blocking the menacing repulsive beam.

"What?" Tony was surprised, "Jarvis, analyze that shield." ”

Obadiah laughed, "I'll admit you're creative about Iron Man, but you're too blind, Tony, and think you have the best technology in the world." But in fact, there are people who have a lot of advanced technology that you can't even think of, and I used their technology to upgrade my armor, and now my armor is better than yours in every way! ”

The Iron Overlord raised his huge fists, and the dark green energy quickly filled along the energy transmission tubes installed in his arms, and the black iron fists seemed to ignite dark flames.

It was like a stream of water pouring out, and the mighty energy rushed in with a high-pitched voice. Eric pounced sideways, and Tony also sprayed the engine in reverse, and the beam of light that shot into the stone wall where the two men came from like a python, leaving a two-person gap behind the flying dust.

The energy beam, which is also a technology that the original version of the Iron Overlord did not have, and it is very powerful.

"Energy can't be cracked, and I haven't seen anything like it." Jarvis feedback.

Tony's expression became solemn and he asked, "Who gave you a promotion, Obadi?" ”

There were no words, only a frenzied roar. The Iron Overlord took a big step, a deep pit on the sole of his foot, and lifted Gatling to sweep another shuttle armor-piercing bullet.
