Stark Industries headquarters building in New York.
It had been just over a week since the Battle of New York, and many streets were still undergoing repairs. However, the Stark Tower had already completed its post-war restoration and now stood in the heart of the city, looking completely new.
at this time.
The top floor of the Stark headquarters building is both the office of Tony Stark, the Iron Man who is in charge of Stark Industries, and his personal workbench.
Now.
The playboy Stark was wearing a black T-shirt and casual trousers that were easy to move around in. He was sitting on a chair, clicking and sliding at the three-dimensional virtual projection screen. His face with sexy stubble looked solemn and serious as he debugged the parameters of a certain project.
He was so immersed in the ultra-black technology of machinery and intelligence that he was completely unaware of the mature woman in a white hip-hugging suit walking out of the elevator behind him.
Until the woman walked over and placed a cup of fragrant hot coffee on the table: "Boss, have something to drink first."
"Thanks."
Hearing the call from his personal secretary, Stark finally woke up from his dream and took a sip of the hot coffee.
"Tony." Pepper Potts, looking at Stark's slightly haggard face, even changed the way she addressed him, and said in a soft voice with a hint of warmth, "You've been working for seven or eight days straight since the war. It's time to have a good rest."
"I'm fine." Stark gulped down half a cup of coffee, his gaze returned to the virtual screen, and he said with excitement and energy, "Recently, with Dr. Banner here, our development of steel armor has been going very smoothly!"
"Especially the anti-type armor. We have now preliminarily completed the construction of two major series of models!" Stark opened his hands excitedly.
"Okay, okay." Pepper rolled her eyes at Stark, knowing that it was his nature. As the saying goes, 'sleeping models come and go, but the steel suit remains forever'!
But that's also why he is Iron Man.
"You, the boss who is getting rid of the problem, just continue working on your armor. There are still a lot of things in the company that need my attention." Pepper sighed helplessly, stepped elegantly in her high heels, and walked towards the elevator on the top floor.
And just when the elevator door where Pepper was closed.
In the top floor lobby, the voice of the artificial intelligence Jarvis suddenly rang out: "Sir, our satellite has detected the appearance of something suspected to be a 'Black Flash'!"
Stark was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "Where?"
Jarvis immediately switched the virtual projection to a three-dimensional image of a world map. A target, marked as a black dot, could be clearly seen moving in the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean, near South America.
Satellite data indicates the black dot's movement speed is Mach 2 to 3?!
"Is it on the plane?" Stark asked doubtfully. After all, no ship could reach this speed.
Jarvis responded, "Obviously not. The other party should be acting alone."
"Okay." Stark shrugged. Even though this was highly unreasonable, the existence of Black Flash itself was unreasonable.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Analyze and determine through the movement trajectory data where it wants to go?"
"Okay, sir." Jarvis executed the order, and within two seconds, an arrow appeared on the virtual projection, quickly pointing to a sea area in front of the target black spot.
There is an island.
"Codomatis?" Stark muttered the island nation's name aloud, pondering, "I remember it was a small island nation. What's so special about it that it actually caught the attention of Black Flash?"
The artificial intelligence, Jarvis, gathered information online and quickly obtained the intelligence Stark sought. He then condensed it into a concise response: "Just last week, an armed rebellion broke out in Codomatis. The entire Herrera family, who had previously been in power, was killed. General Silvio Luna now controls the island nation."
"That's all?" Stark frowned. He didn't think that the armed rebellion of an island country alone would attract the attention of that terrifying existence.
Jarvis said, "Sir, some intelligence information has been encrypted by high-level US officials. Do you want to decrypt it?"
"Crack it." Stark gave the order without hesitation.
About three seconds.
Artificial Intelligence Jarvis: "It's Project Starfish!"
"There's a local research institute called Jotunheim on Codomatis. For thirty years, they've been conducting the Starfish Project, which studies alien species. This project could potentially pose a significant threat to the world."
"Also, Amanda Waller, a high-ranking US government official, is currently organizing a special team, codenamed 'Task Force X,' composed mostly of serious criminals from Gotham City. They are heading to the island nation of Codomatis to eliminate all hidden dangers of the Starfish Project."
…
After listening to the AI Jarvis's story, Stark couldn't help but shake his head. "Using a group of serious criminals to eliminate the world's potential crisis? That really sounds like something those high-ranking American officials would do."
There is naturally no problem in using supernatural beings to combat supernatural hidden dangers, but the nature of the matter changes when using criminals.
However, Stark didn't care about these things, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the actions of the American high-level officials. His target was the Black Flash, who he had encountered once before!
Stark, watching the black spot target approaching the island nation, didn't think too much and quickly issued an order to Jarvis: "Jarvis, call up the number one anti-series armor - anti-black flash model!"
Jarvis: "Sir, at this point, that type of armor is just data parameters and an experimental model. There's no complete product that can be used in combat."
Stark frowned slightly, but said in a deep voice without giving up: "Make it now, rush it, and prepare it for me as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
Atlantic Ocean.
It was night time here, and the sea was pitch black under the cover of darkness.
The waves swept and rolled in the darkness, and the night breeze gently blew across the sea, making it seem very calm.
At this time.
A water arrow swept across the sea like a black lightning, breaking the calmness of the sea as soon as it appeared!
The speed of the black lightning was so fast that it easily broke the sound barrier. The air exploded wherever it passed, and a noticeable storm condensed around it, raising a burst of exciting waves on both sides!
With a whoosh sound.
In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the sea a hundred meters away. In the center of the black lightning, a pair of beast eyes like burning blue flames were swaying!
It is like Xinian in the form of a black kitten, three in one!
The four cat paws were like helicopter propellers, running fast with traces of afterimages, allowing him to stay above the sea.
It ran for countless miles like a perpetual motion machine.
Ahead of Xiqian, a huge island finally appeared across the sea.
It continued to cross the coastal waters without slowing down and arrived at the coast of the island.
A trace of bloodthirstiness suddenly flashed in the eyes of the three-in-one Xinian's beast, but the moment he stepped onto the coast of the island, he sensed the cold murderous aura on this land!
