"Tony Stark will leave it to me, you go find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube...... Fast! ”

After hearing Ivanko's shout, Dr. Banner hesitated for a moment, and finally ran briskly towards the passage behind Iron Man where he had just appeared.

"You think I'm going to let you-huh?"

However, as soon as Tony raised his hand, Ivanko's red light energy whip wrapped around his arm, and the latter tugged hard, causing his palm cannon to pass Banner.

"Your opponent is me - but my opponent is not you, get Tony Stark out of here!"

The Ark Reactor that had materialized on Ivan's chest lit up with a dazzling light, and then he began to cover himself with red armor similar to Iron Man, completely enveloping and arming him.

If Red were here, he would have found that this form was a combination of the whip armor made by Ivan himself at the end of the movie Iron Man 2 and the crimson mecha in the comics.

Then Ivan mustered up all his strength and dragged back, relying on brute force to pull Iron Man into the air and smash him to the ground. However, just as Ivan was about to take advantage of the victory, a pair of metal arms reached out from the ground and grabbed his feet.

"You seem to have mistaken something, Ivan, and again, I'm the same Tony Stark who defeated you."

Iron Man stood up from the ground, and a dozen miniature missiles were fired from his shoulder, hitting the immobile Ivan.

"Or rather, we're all Tony Stark."

At the same time, landing from the top of the cave, more than a dozen Iron Man armors were drilled out of the ground, and they bombarded Ivan with full firepower.

Ivan's red-light energy armor was severely damaged by the direct bombardment of this heavy fire, and each armor here had the offensive firepower equivalent to that of a mark-50. Ivan was forced to abandon the whip that Iron Man had captured, and recreated a new long whip to swing around, trying to knock down these Iron Man armor,

Perhaps because of the fear of being directly counter-controlled by the nano greatsword like last time, these armors do not use nanomaterials, but use composite materials of gold-titanium alloy and vibranium. However, in terms of strength, it seems to be stronger than nanomaterials, and Ivan's high-temperature red light energy whip with all his strength can only cause a dent in the armor.

"Uh-ha!!!"

In the end, Ivan's lamp ring glowed brightly, and he used the red light energy to create a dozen relatively rudimentary mechanical soldiers, desperately pounced on the surrounding Iron Man armor to control them as much as possible, and then flicked his own double whip forward, entangled Tony Stark, and used his strength to close the distance between the two.

Bang!

However, Tony's chest cluster cannon exploded, hitting Ivan Vanko impartially, and then took a step forward to tear Ivan's tattered helmet off with one punch, and another punch to the reactor in Ivan's chest.

Tony's armored fist seemed to use the Black Panther's vibranium energy storage technology, and with each punch, a purple energy shockwave spread out to the surrounding area, causing the cave stone stalactites above his head to break and fall.

"It's the same problem as last time, Ivan, the revs are too low."

Two Iron Man armors approached and grabbed Ivan's arms, and the latter seemed to have no room for resistance. Tony stretched out his hand and ripped off the Ark reactor on Ivan's chest made of red light energy, looking at it with interest.

"I know you suspect that I'm Ultron's consciousness overshadowing Tony Stark's personality, you guessed partially, but not entirely."

Tony opened his helmet and grabbed Ivan by the hair to lift his face to his own eyes.

"Ultron wanted to prevent me from breaking free from the scepter of the mind again, so he tried to cover my personality with his own consciousness, but he failed - my brain was much more complex than he thought, and in the end I defeated Ultron and retained my personality as Tony Stark...... But also gained some of the characteristics of Ao's creation as an artificial intelligence, and I was more calm and rational than before. ”

"Phew...... How does this sound like your brain is broken. ”

Ivan spat bloody spit on Tony's armor and looked at him with mocking eyes, but the latter's expression did not fluctuate.

"It's evolution. I won't be by you or Red Douglas anymore, I know it's your source of energy. Ultron thinks that he himself is the product of eventual evolution, but this is wrong, he is nothing more than an artificial intelligence that wants to get closer to humanity - I am the one who is closer to perfection. ”

Ivan stared at Tony for a moment, then smiled meaningfully.

"I think you're being verbose, is that part of evolution?"

"Don't worry, I've got a lot of time, do you think I'm sending all my armor here just to fight a defeated man like you? Banner wasn't going to find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he should have been- what?! ”

Suddenly, the mechanical soldiers that Ivan had created with the energy of the red light began to act, but instead of attacking, they dug up an object from their chest that looked like the reactor of the Ark and slapped it on Iron Man's armored body.

While many of the armor reacted immediately and knocked the mechanical soldiers flying, one or two managed to achieve their goal, and the objects melted like summer ice cream and seeped into the cracks in Iron Man's armor.

"That's nanoparticles? But what do you want to do - uh!! System compromised? Cut off the connection between the armor at once! ”

Although the nano sword will be formed after being amplified by Red, as long as it fails in the amplification stage of more than seven stages, the zeroed nano sword can reshape again, and this time Red considered the enemy to face, and lent the nano sword to Ivan in advance.

In just a few seconds, although Tony cut off the signal connection between the armors in time, half of the Iron Man armor still had a strange glint in his eyes, and raised his weapon to aim at Tony Stark.

Tony immediately reclosed his helmet and let out a cold, low voice.

"Can you invade and control my Warframe? I underestimate you too much, Ivan - but I'll tell you the gap between me and you......"

"You're not underestimating me, Tony, it's a bit difficult to break your firewall with my words alone...... But his words were much easier. ”

Ivan smiled slyly, the two Iron Man armors behind him were the first to be invaded, so he immediately let go of him and protected them in turn.

"Guess what I found up there when Red snatched your nanoarmor that day?"

Tony froze, and even through the mask, Ivan could imagine his now stunned expression.

"How could it be...... Jarvis? ”

At the same time, the Iron Man armor, which had been controlled by the invasion, emitted a bland and gentle electronic sound that seemed to have a hint of sadness.

"At your service, sir."
