"Idiot!"
Facing Ivan Vanko's provocation, Tony broke his composure with just two simple words:
"Do you think doing this will work on me?"
"You're just like your father, who only knew how to ride others' coattails; you're just eating the Stark family's leftovers!"
"The palladium reactor you're using was phased out by me months ago."
"The new element reactor I use now has energy conversion and storage efficiency dozens of times that of palladium. You moron, even if you charge your reactor until it explodes, you could never drain me dry!"
Tony mocked Ivan Vanko with a relaxed expression.
Hearing Tony say he had already completed the upgrade to the new element reactor, Ivan Vanko's expression couldn't help but change.
An unprecedented thought welled up in his mind.
His father had never proposed the concept of a new element reactor, always saying that palladium was the best material.
But now, Tony Stark, whom he viewed as a thief, said he had developed a new element...
Could it be that his father had been lying to him all along? Was his father the real thief?
These chaotic and complex thoughts flashed through Ivan Vanko's mind for only a second before he immediately snuffed them out.
Because he knew he had no way back!
If he wanted to be the best scientist, Tony had to die.
If the second-place wants to surpass the first-place, the most efficient way is never to surpass them through hard study, but to directly ensure the first-place can never take an exam again!
At this thought, Ivan suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and sneered:
"Unluckily for you, I do indeed have a group of good tools around me who won't let go even if they're charged until they explode!"
Hearing this, Tony and Natasha's expressions both changed.
The two subconsciously looked at the Red Room female Agents surrounding them, wielding Whiplash that bound them.
The light from the arc reactors on their chests was now visibly becoming blinding, and the armor on their arms began to smoke and deform due to the excessive energy absorption.
But they... still held onto the whips tightly, refusing to let go!
Boom!
The mechanical armor on a young female Agent's arm exploded, and metal fragments embedded themselves into her flesh.
Her arm became a bloody mess from the explosion, yet her eyes remained hollow and expressionless, her hands gripping the whip as if they were welded shut.
"Fuck!"
Now, it was Tony's turn to lose his composure.
Although he was a playboy, he had no perverted hobbies and couldn't stand seeing beautiful, charming girls die miserably before him like tools.
"Peter!"
He couldn't help but shout at Peter, "Stop fucking watching the show! Use your invincible superpowers to do something!"
Not far away, Peter, who was leisurely knocking out the female Agents rushing at him, looked back, then withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly:
"Small problem. Natasha can handle this situation."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Tony's face turned ashen.
"She can barely protect herself right now, how is she supposed to..."
Crackle! Crackle!
Before Tony could finish, he heard bursts of ear-piercing electrical crackling from nearby.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw that Natasha's Battle Suit had somehow suddenly restored its power system, and she had actually snapped all the whips coiled around her, instantly regaining her freedom.
Seeing this, Tony couldn't help but be stunned:
"Wait, how did you do that? I don't remember installing such a feature on that Battle Suit!"
Natasha glanced back at him, suddenly opened her faceplate, and gave him a slight smile:
"Who said my movements depend on a power system?"
Tony:???
He was a bit confused at first, but then he quickly realized the meaning behind Black Widow's words.
He watched as Black Widow retracted the black-and-gold battle suit after opening her faceplate. Then, a layer of blue-white substance, like slime, enveloped her, forming another tight-fitting suit.
Facing a Red Room female Agent in an Iron Man Suit rushing at her, Natasha used a redirection technique, actually grabbing the opponent's arm and throwing her—Iron Man Suit and all—straight out!
That was an Iron Man Suit; even if it was made of light metal, the person and the suit together weighed at least five or six hundred pounds.
And she just threw her like that!
Only then did Tony finally realize.
There was no special power system; she had just been using the thousand-pound suit as mere armor, using her terrifying physical strength to drive the suit instead!
Fine, fine, so out of the three of us, I'm the only normal person, huh.
Just as Tony was complaining in his mind, the next second, he saw another incredible sight.
Natasha, having retracted her suit, let out a low growl like a Beast from her throat, followed by a series of popping sounds from her bones.
Amidst the continuous popping, her figure suddenly expanded to over two meters tall.
Her short hair, a gradient of fiery red to icy blue, grew wildly until it reached her waist. A pair of white wolf ears pricked up from her hair. A snowy, fluffy tail extended from the base of her spine, swaying gently in the cold wind.
Silver-white fur spread across the backs of her hands, forearms, and both sides of her cheeks.
Her pupils turned from green to icy blue slits.
Okuchi no Makami: Half-Beast Form!
Cold air erupted from Natasha's body, and thick ice immediately formed under her feet, spreading in all directions at extreme speed.
At the same time, Peter turned the little broken watch on his wrist, and his body began to change rapidly as well.
Ice-blue patterns slowly covered his entire body, and his eyes changed from their original deep brown to scarlet.
Frost Giant Form!
Peter, now a Frost Giant, shared a look with Natasha from a distance.
Immediately after, Peter opened his hands, and two visible whirlwinds condensed in his palms.
The moment he threw the whirlwinds, Natasha leaped high in perfect synchronization and exhaled a cloud of breath.
The breath froze the rapidly merging whirlwinds, instantly forming a frost tornado of exaggerated proportions in the spacious underground area.
Wherever the tornado passed, the temperature plummeted instantly.
The Red Room female Agents, numb like machines, only needed to be grazed by the tornado for their bodies to be quickly frozen, completely losing their ability to move.
Seeing this unforgettable scene, Tony was completely dumbfounded.
Amazing, they even have a combined ultimate technique!
Practicing a combined ultimate technique in secret without telling me, huh?
On the other side, the hideous smile on Ivan's face froze.
Seeing the terrifying storm, he decisively tried to snap the whips in his hands and cranked his thrusters to the maximum to escape.
But before he could take off, a cold snort came from beside him:
"Hmph, trying to run!"
It was Tony, who had successfully restored his power system after the other female Agents were frozen. He grabbed the whips Ivan had used to bind him and, with his superior power system, threw Ivan Vanko directly into the frost tornado.
He watched as Ivan Vanko was quickly frozen, then fell to the ground and shattered into a floor full of blood-red ice crystals.
Tony couldn't help but whistle in satisfaction.
The three of us are truly amazing.jpg!
