"Stark?"

Eric was at a loss.

It doesn't look like Iron Man armor and gives him a completely different feeling. But he hadn't heard of anyone else on Earth other than Stark with such advanced exoskeleton technology.

"No, but you'll soon wish I was."

"Interesting."

The corners of Eric's mouth hooked, and he stepped forward with a big grin.

"Even Iron Man, I've got it"

He kicked his footsteps, and accelerated sharply, and his body was like a leaping fire dragon churning.

Let's see how many catties and taels you can have in this iron shell?"

Boom!

With an explosion-like roar, the desperate warrior flew upside down, and half of his face was transformed by the terrifying strange force. He rolled and flew far away, the heat of his body burning a burning black trail on the ground.

"Huh?"

Shen You frowned slightly.

I saw that Eric, who was blown away by him, actually shook his body and supported it again, and the broken body tissues were repairing rapidly. But it's not just tinkering, it looks more like it's mutating.

The skin, which had looked nearly transparent due to the heat, had been replaced with some kind of strange rock-black tissue, which was firmly covered in the surface of its body. The craggy flesh and skin were covered with bone spurs, and the backs of his hands were covered with sharp bone spurs, and his eyes seemed to have turned into some kind of fierce beast.

"You guys. . . What exactly was done? Shen You frowned.

This is definitely not what the original desperate virus should have done.

Desperate modifications modify untapped parts of the human brain, enhancing the ability to repair and forcing the body to regrow stronger organs. But it's still human at heart.

But this body has clearly left the category of the human body, and has begun to become some other species.

"We've created the ultimate creature, the new strongest individual combat weapon!"

Eric shouted and flew up.

"Instead of fancy useless armor like you!"

He was still moving extremely fast, turning into a flaming afterimage and flying towards him. But Shen You stood motionless, but his eyes saw accurately, and he easily saw through and predicted the trajectory of the other party's movement.

His right palm jerked out, and his five fingers slammed into the throat of the swooping shadow. Eric's movements suddenly stopped stiffly, and the energy in his body seemed to be forcibly cut off along with his breathing, and his whole body was unable to exert his strength.

To his horror even more, Eric soon felt a burning sensation.

From the palm of the steel, the hot touch, accompanied by a sharp stinging pain, seemed to be a thousand spikes stirring nerves.

Do you feel hot?

You must know that he is a desperate soldier, his body temperature casually breaks several thousand degrees, and a high-temperature explosive barrel that explodes at every turn. And after the desperate situation was escalated, even if he was in the center of the 5,000-degree energy explosion, he could quickly recover to an unscathed state

How could he feel hot like this?

And this armor, and the people in this armor, how can he withstand such temperatures?

"You think you're hot."

Shen You said lightly, and the core of the mobile display frame suddenly turned from blue to red. Red flame-like energy enveloped the armor's entire body, releasing it from his palm.

"But you don't know anything about real heat."

Shen You said, adding fuel to the fire again.

"First of all, let's learn to get used to the temperature of 'anger'."

Red light of rage.

The ultra-high temperature that is far beyond the desperate situation, and the super erosive force beyond the temperature. The flames of rage enveloped Eric's body in an instant, scorching through his flesh and melting his bones, causing the disintegrating skeleton to shake and let out a terrible scream.

"No, there's nothing that can surpass you why. How could it be."

Eric had collapsed to the ground, his shocking skeleton charred black, but Red Flame was still clinging to him, refusing to let him go.

"My temperature, I will never be given by the heat, uh, ah, ah!!"

Seconds later, Eric Severn was completely melted, and even his ashes were incinerated and gone, along with the desperate situation they were proud of.

It turns out that even a desperate situation known for its high temperatures is obviously not as good as the angry temperatures.

Shen You then shifted his gaze to Iron Man, who had already turned off the fire on the side.

For a moment, Tony felt as if he was dead.

He returned to the cave where he had been, to the doctor who had given him a second life.

It's still the cave, the lab table full of scraps and worn-out equipment. Yin Sen sat across from him, staring at him in the dim light.

"So you managed to get out." The doctor whispered, "Get out of hell, this cage." ”

"Yes." Tony nodded.

"You said your previous life was a joke, and you want to be different in the future."

"I said it." He said.

"Then," Dr. Insen turned, as if to look into his soul through his eyes, "did you do it?" ”

Tony was silent.

This time there was a long silence, as if lost in thought.

I don't know."

The lights went out, and darkness engulfed the entire cavern. Tony felt the emptiness beneath his feet, and he seemed to be in free fall, ending in endless nothingness.

For the first time in his life, he wanted to do something meaningful.

People call him the scientist of the future, the man who plans and creates the future for the world. But one day when he looked back, he found that this was not the case at all. All he left behind was pain and destruction, and he had been lost in sycophants and empty praise.

Just one time, he tried to do something right, but it seemed like a failure.

In the endless darkness, the voice of the program host seemed to ring in his ears, and even the image seemed to overlap with Yin Sen in the cave.

"Iron Man is the ultimate weapon."

The voice said.

"It's the final version of all the killers you've ever designed to fuse."

"At the end of the day, you didn't make any changes."

Perhaps.

He suddenly felt so tired, as if he was even more tired than when he was trapped in a cave, maybe he never managed to escape from the cave at all.

He closed his eyes and let his body fall into nothingness.

That's the end of it.

Let all the mistakes follow you.

But there was another voice, as if coming from the far side of darkness.

"Why did you create Iron Man?"

Tony thought instinctively.

"For. Create the future. ”

"So in your eyes, when you design and complete it with your own hands, what you envision and expect in your heart is the ultimate weapon?"

"It's not."

Tony replied instinctively, suddenly feeling a little rejuvenated for no apparent reason.

Then he seemed to hear a very soft laugh.

"Then it looks like you already know the answer."

Suddenly, he felt as if he wasn't so cold and not so tired. He opened his eyes slightly, as if to see that the darkness was being dispelled.

For a moment, he seemed to see Dr. Yin Sen again in a trance, but this time he smiled and nodded to him in the warm glow of the spring sun.

"Insen."

He tried to reach out, but the image quickly faded.

The dazzling and warm light tore through the hellish darkness. For no reason, he felt as if he was regained in strength, and even the exhaustion of his body was swept away.

When he opened his eyes, he seemed to see. Giant.

The giant, bathed in radiance, was stretching out his big hand to him.
