Buzz!
As Obadiah started the self-destruct program.
The light of the arc reactor on the iron monger's chest instantly intensified, and visible arcs of blinding electricity crackled around the armor.
"Not good!"
Tony's expression in the distance changed drastically.
"Jarvis! Analyze the energy index!"
"Sir, the opponent's reactor has entered an overload state. The energy output is growing exponentially and is expected to reach the critical point in ten seconds, triggering a massive explosion!"
"The explosion is estimated to be sufficient to level everything within a five-kilometer radius!"
Jarvis's cold electronic voice caused Tony's heart to sink to the bottom.
This was the center of New York City!
Below the Stark Tower was the bustling Brooklyn neighborhood!
Even though they were currently a hundred meters in the air, the shockwave from the explosion would still cost the lives of countless innocent citizens!
"Damn it!"
Tony cursed, no longer content to just watch. He immediately controlled the mark iii and charged at full speed toward the "mobile bomb" that was about to explode.
"Obadiah! You lunatic!"
He tried to take the iron monger away from here, to a higher altitude to detonate it, in order to reduce the impact on the ground.
However, there simply wasn't enough time!
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The mechanical countdown from the iron monger armor sounded like the summons of the Shinigami.
"You can't stop me, Tony!"
Obadiah laughed maniacally in the cockpit: "Go to hell with me! Hahahaha!"
"Sir, it is recommended to evacuate immediately. The current distance cannot guarantee your safety!" Jarvis issued a final warning.
In Tony's mind, the image of Dr. Ethan carrying a submachine gun and charging forward to buy him time instinctively surfaced... He subconsciously gritted his teeth, a flash of determination in his eyes.
I can't retreat!
Right at this critical moment.
A hand lightly pressed on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Peter's lazy voice seemed to carry a calming magic.
Tony was stunned. He turned his head and saw Peter, who had appeared beside him at some unknown time.
"It's about to blow up! How is this not a big deal?!" Tony was nearly frantic with worry.
"Calm down,"
Peter patted his armor, signaling him to stay calm:
"Just watch me operate and that's it."
The next second.
Peter's figure vanished into thin air.
Soru!
Before Tony could even react, Peter had already appeared in front of the iron monger's cockpit.
The moment he noticed Peter, Obadiah's wild laughter stopped abruptly, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He only saw a blur before his eyes, and that demonic figure appeared right in front of him.
Peter didn't even bother to waste words with him.
He punched through the bulletproof glass of the cockpit, grabbed Obadiah by the collar, and hauled him out.
"Catch."
Tony subconsciously reached out to catch Obadiah, feeling utterly speechless in his heart.
With Obadiah removed from the cockpit, the iron monger, being unmanned, not only failed to move away from the city but instead began to plummet rapidly toward the ground.
Isn't this fucking making things worse!
While Tony's brow twitched as he heard the countdown reach "four, three, two."
He saw Peter suddenly reach out and press his hand against the scarred wreckage of the iron monger, which was flashing with light to the extreme.
When Peter touched the iron monger, the reactor's self-destruct countdown had also reached its final second.
"One!"
At this moment, Tony felt like he was about to pee himself.
Well, okay, he wasn't actually about to pee... but the expected world-ending explosion did not happen.
In its place was a strange ripple.
Under Tony's astonished gaze, the massive iron monger armor, along with the arc reactor that was about to explode, actually vanished into thin air.
It was just like... when Peter had confiscated his mark i!
[Detected sacrificeable Deep Blue item: "iron monger armor"]
[iron monger armor: A large mecha painstakingly built by Obadiah and installed with an arc reactor. The energy contained within is equivalent to a small nuclear power plant, possessing great lethality and energy development value.]
[Sacrifice can yield: 1000 points]
[Do you wish to sacrifice?]
"Sacrifice!"
That's right!
Facing the impending self-destruction of the iron monger, Peter did not choose to use his own Electro gene to forcibly absorb the remaining energy within.
After all, even Peter himself didn't know if his body could absorb all the electrical energy from the arc reactor.
That useless Electro could be blown apart by an excess of electricity!
Although Peter felt that because of his stronger physical fitness, he could certainly withstand more electricity.
But he didn't want to take that risk.
Instead of wasting that time and effort, it was better to just pull Obadiah out of the iron monger, let the iron monger become ownerless, and then directly sacrifice it!
Not only could he resolve the crisis, but he could also gain a large amount of sacrifice points—truly killing two birds with one stone!
On the other side, Tony and Obadiah stared blankly at Peter.
After a brief moment of daze, Obadiah went mad on the spot, laughing and crying in Tony's hands while muttering nonsensical things.
As for Tony, after swallowing hard, he couldn't help but ask:
"That iron monger..."
"You can understand it as being thrown into another space by me, so it won't have any impact on Earth," Peter gave an answer that Tony could more easily understand.
Hiss~
Tony instinctively took a sharp breath, and a conviction became increasingly firm in his heart:
In the future, he could offend anyone, but he must never offend Peter!
This guy was simply too terrifying!
If this kind of ability were used on a person, sending anyone he didn't like directly to another dimension... with such an overpowered ability, how could anyone play without it being nerfed?!
"Speaking of which, what do you plan to do with this guy?" Peter pointed at Obadiah.
Hearing this, Tony's face showed a conflicted expression. After a moment, he finally sighed and spoke to Obadiah:
"I will tell your wife and children that you died in a kidnapping, and I will take good care of them. So... farewell, Uncle Obadiah."
After saying this, Tony did not hesitate and snapped Obadiah's neck with a crack.
Seeing this, Peter couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, and then he spoke to Tony:
"I'll leave the Military and S.H.I.E.L.D. side to you to handle! Also, remember to help me ask the Military what their intention was in designing such a trap to lure me and Ghost-Spider here."
"If they can't give me a reasonable explanation, then I don't mind going to kill a few generals for fun."
Hearing this, Tony couldn't even focus on his sadness.
Because he knew that Peter absolutely meant what he said.
Although he wasn't clear yet on what this incident had to do with the Military.
But Tony was certain that if the Military dared to show their usual thuggish attitude, they were probably going to pay a heavy price this time!
