Chapter 18: The Lizardman and the Octopus Robotic Arm
Landau is sure that he can solve Otto's affairs and prevent Otto from going to the fate of Doctor Octopus.
The question is, if the web of fate on Otto's body is unraveled, who will bear this fate?
Walking to the lounge area, looking down on the familiar and unfamiliar New York with his hands behind his back, Landau heard the sound of high heels coming from behind him.
Without having to turn around, Landau could know who was coming.
Tony definitely told Potts about himself, and in the entire Stark Building, the only one who was interested in him and dared to approach him was the Black Widow who lurked here to investigate.
"Dr. Landau, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Landau turned around, elegantly took the Pu'er tea handed by Natasha, bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, and said apologetically: "Natasha, I'm sorry. ”
Seeing the black widow smiling politely, Landau explained: "In the past, I traveled to the Soviet Union. I was moved by their ideals and beliefs, and I helped them dismantle some of the secret services, while leaving some gifts. ”
"My name was Plato Edgadovich."
Just by name, Natasha's smile froze on her face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what you were talking about." Natasha struggled to keep the smile on her face and made an excuse to leave.
Turning into the pantry, Natasha could not control the soaring adrenaline, and could only keep exhaling and inhaling.
Plato Edgardovich, a name that has cast a shadow on all agents, a name that should never be known, the Red House declares him the first Headmaster.
How could it be, how could there really be a 0th principal!
Natasha's fear was creeping in, and years of experience as an agent had taught her that Landau was definitely not just talking.
Dr. Landau, the man who suddenly appeared next to Obadiah and now has a profound influence on Tony, is telling the truth!
"Urgent information, Dr. Landau is most likely a mutant with an unknown survival time!"
Nick Fury was silent for a moment, choosing to let Natasha continue her investigation.
In the blink of an eye, a few weeks passed, and Osborne's exhibition tour finally took place.
"Tony, I remember it was only Stark Messe back then." Landau stood on the veranda and sighed at Tony, who was walking in.
"Uh-huh." Tony had just gotten rid of the annoying socialization and escaped from the ballroom to the balcony.
"However, I remember that it was I who strongly suggested the fair, and you, like your father, were reluctant to participate in such social activities."
The crowd below erupted in cheers, and a star took the stage on a float to catch a glimpse of it.
Landau pointed to the charismatic star and said, "Tony, the thing that you are most similar to Howard is that you are obviously very resistant to interpersonal interactions, but you enjoy the feeling of being a fan very much. ”
As soon as Tony, who was ridiculed, turned around, he heard one after another screams and roars, and hurriedly turned around.
Landau bowed his head, and in the chaotic crowd, many people were beginning to be transformed into lizardmen.
"It's a lizardman, and he wants to convert all humans into his people." Landau clapped his palms on the guardrail, bringing the parade into the mirror dimension.
Landau landed on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, the raging lizardman was instantly tied hand and foot, with a cross looming behind his back.
Believers who prayed unintentionally, Landau observed that none of the humans on the periphery had been transformed, and the closer they got to the float, the more lizardmen there were.
From the pillar of light rising, from the bottom of the rollover float, Landau saw the timing mechanism.
There is no doubt that the lizardfolk have infiltrated New York and have begun their own plan to transform humans.
Looking around, the number of people who have switched from humans to lizardmen is gradually increasing, and Landau can only bind these people to the Holy Light Cross.
The portal glowing with blue flames opens, and Ghost Knight Tony flies in.
Tony flew in the air, the reagent tank behind him spraying a green liquid, drenching everyone present before landing beside Landau.
"Connors said that the lizardmen should convert all humans into lizardmen, and equip them with antidotes in advance."
Landau watched the lizardmen tied to the air lift their transformations one by one, waved his hand to lift their restrictions, and wondered, "The lizardmen are not here, what are they doing to create these riots?" ”
Another float suddenly began to spray gas outward, and the people it came into contact with quickly turned into lizardmen, which were more slender than before, and more suitable for lizardmen.
Landau cast a spell seal with both hands, covering the float and the transformed person, and said in a deep voice, "I'm in charge of here, and you go out to find the traces of the lizardmen." ”
Tony flies through the streets of New York and instructs Jarvis to look for the lizardmen in New York.
Jarvis takes over all the cameras in New York City and quickly finds the lizardman's whereabouts.
Tony looked at the video that Jarvis fed back, and there were now four more mechanical arms behind the slender lizardman, and complained, "You have to call it the octopus lizardman, right?" ”
"Sir, based on the route, the destination of the chapter lizard you are searching for is the Stark Tower."
Ordering Stark Industries to evacuate, Tony flew up to the Venomer and shot him in the head with a palm cannon.
The smoke cleared, and the mechanical arm behind the lizardman helped him block the blow.
"It seems that I underestimated Dr. Otto's experimental tools." Tony moves away from the chapter lizardman and fires from a small turret on his shoulder.
The chapter lizard climbed up quickly, but the heat seeking missile did not hit the building, but turned extremely fast and chased after the chapter lizardman.
Tony sees the lizardman stop moving, but his own missile flies straight up through the lizardman, and finally explodes in the air.
"Boom, are you full of poop in this tin jar?" The chapter lizard taunted Tony mercilessly, "Heat track down a lizard, your elementary school teacher will cry when he hears it." ”
The chapter lizard climbed to the top floor, the mechanical arm behind him pulling up the chassis, and he picked up the top signal tower with both hands and threw it at Tony.
Tony didn't need to avoid it at all, he simply fired two palm cannons, and the things that were thrown directly were smashed into pieces.
The crowd watching below noticed that debris had fallen overhead, and immediately screamed and hid inside the building.
A cobwebs catch the falling shards, and Peter arrives late in his new suit.
Seeing that Tony and the chapter lizards were shooting at each other, and more debris fell, Peter hurriedly rescued the people who had no time to hide, and flew towards the roof of the building with spider silk.
As soon as Peter landed, a boulder hit him head-on, and he subconsciously jumped up to dodge, and saw the boulder smashing towards the opposite office building in mid-air, and hurriedly sprayed out a spider web to catch the boulder.
The power of the boulder could not be stopped by a cobweb, and Peter in mid-air had nowhere to borrow his strength, and was carried by the boulder towards the office building.
Tony smashes the boulder with a palm shot, relieving Peter's embarrassment.
Looking at Peter swinging back to the roof, Tony admonished, "Don't fight him. ”
"I know that hand-to-hand combat is the stupidest thing to do." Peter responded, and then fired a cobweb at the lizardman.
Tony and Peter pulled out of their positions and kept harassing the chapter lizards while exchanging information in the channel.
Knowing that the riots at the Osborne Exhibition had subsided, Tony looked at the lizard model in front of him and said, "Do you remember what Landau said?" The control center of the robotic arm! ”
Peter immediately understood what Tony meant, and with a blow of spider silk, he fixed the lizardman's feet, and was about to rush forward with a fist.
The chapter lizard man didn't have time to pull out the cobwebs, and he was impatient for a long time, and now he just wanted to tear up the little insects that threw themselves into the web.
Tony seized the opportunity and fired a palm cannon through the Lizardman's defenses, hitting him in the back of the head, destroying the control center of the mechanical arm.
The chapter lizard man broke out with a sharp roar, holding his head, and the mechanical arm on his body unconsciously whipped around, and several large holes appeared on the roof of the building in an instant.
There were more and more big holes, and finally the floor collapsed, and the chapter lizard man fell.
Tony flew above the entrance of the cave, and the figure of the chapter lizard man had long since disappeared.
"Not here!" Tony reminded Peter.
Peter stood on the roof, and a terrifying feeling welled up in his heart, and he immediately jumped into the air, swinging to the other side with the help of spider silk.
Looking back, a mechanical claw was retracting from the hole.
Unlike Dr. Otto, who eventually became inseparable from the robotic arm, without the control center, the lizardmen used the robotic arm more calmly.
Initiating the scan, Tony discovers that the chapter lizardmen have escaped, and immediately returns to the Stark Mansion with Peter.
Landau raised his wine glass, saluted the two who returned, and teased: "Otto, look who this is, the great hero who just saved New York." ”
Otto stared at the screen, watching the lizardmen's footage repeatedly, and responded, "What two big heroes. ”
Tony looked proud when he took off his helmet, and Peter, who took off his hood, was a little shy.
"I, Tony Stark, deserve to be a hero."
Peter clutched the new hood in his hand, and lowered his head to look into Landau's eyes, "I... I just saw that Mr. Stark was in danger, so I just..."
Landau stretched out his hand to beckon Peter to sit down, and said softly, "Peter, I saw that you restrained yourself and didn't rush forward to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, this is a good start." ”
"Remember, the best battle plan is always not to fight."
Pointing to Tony, who had taken off his armor and was walking towards the bar, he said, "Peter, look Tony, what he just said was all from the heart, and Tony firmly believes that he should work for world peace and the safety of New York." ”
"So I want to ask you, what do you want to be a superhero for?"
Peter looked at Landau blankly, his eyes unconsciously turned to Tony at the bar, and hesitated: "I also have talent and ability, and I also want to work hard for New York and the world." ”
"No, that's not what your heart wants." Landau shook his head and said calmly: "Tony is the dictator of Stark Industries, the monopolist of new energy, and he has a status and wealth that you can't believe. But Tony has also experienced pain that you can't imagine.
He chose this path to atone for his past and to regain his life. ”
"Peter, ask yourself, what exactly do you want, what kind of person do you want to be?"
