🕑 Added 2024-01-12 18:43:40 +0000 UTC
At this moment, Tony was flying in the air with the Iron Soldiers, dodging attacks while retaliating. Although Ivan's Iron Soldiers were numerous, they couldn't effectively intercept Tony due to the difference in speed.
"Sir, the Iron Soldiers that left attacked Charles Agency."
"Give me Charles Doyle's phone."
"The phone cannot connect!"
"Damn it."
Seeing that his Iron Soldiers were unable to effectively attack Tony, Ivan immediately chose to stop about a dozen of them and land on the ground to launch indiscriminate attacks on the escaping crowd.
At this moment, a child wearing a helmet similar to Iron Man's gestured an attacking motion towards one of the Iron Soldiers that had landed in front of him.
Just as the Iron Soldier was about to attack the child, Tony descended from the sky and obliterated the combat armor with a palm blast.
"Well done, little one."
After saying this, Tony took off again, heading in the direction away from the World Expo.
Ivan, seeing that his remote-controlled soldiers was still unable to deal with Tony, decided to set all programs to automatic attack mode. He then prepared to wear the Whiplash Mark II suit; he wanted to personally deal with Tony Stark.
…
On the other side-
Charles turned around to look at the debris and severed limbs in the ruins. These were his subordinates, the guard envoys, and the staff of the office.
The remaining ninja had all been dispatched for missions and weren't in the office, but the losses were still painful. The agency had just been renovated less than six months ago.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a collapsed pile of ruins exploded, and Tsunade's figure rose into the sky, jumping onto a half-fallen Iron Soldier.
A powerful downward strike, and the Iron Soldier exploded in mid-air, turning into a large fireball. Using this recoil, Tsunade attacked another Iron Soldier nearby.
Charles looked at the unconscious Shizune in his arms and immediately withdrew her from the battlefield, bringing her into the system space. He then joined the counterattack.
With the appearance and counterattacks of the two, the Iron Soldiers' automatic targeting system also locked onto them. The Gatling machine guns on their shoulders began to spin rapidly, unleashing countless bullets like a dense metal storm towards the two.
With their proficient substitution jutsu, the metal storm did not harm them. However, the surrounding buildings suffered greatly as bullets pierced through roofs, walls, glass, and even some cars parked on the street were directly blown up.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Dozens of Charles Doyles suddenly appeared in the field. All the shadow clones looked at each other.
"Go!"
Dozens of Charles immediately jumped into the air, each holding a Rasengan in their palms.
Originally, Charles planned to use lightning to directly destroy them in the sky, but fearing a Thor power bank phenomenon, he switched to an element-neutral Rasengan.
The sudden appearance of so many shadow clones also provided an opportunity for the Iron Soldiers. They immediately activated their missile launchers and prepared to fire at the clones.
"Boom!"
Indiscriminate attacks ensued, and some of the shadow clones that were closer to the explosions were destroyed. However, the others reached the Iron Soldiers and smashed their Rasengan toward the head.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
One after another, the Rasengan hit the heads of the Iron Soldiers. In an instant, these unmanned Iron Soldiers had their heads blown up, falling from the sky in disarray.
Charles's move directly eliminated half of the airborne Iron Soldiers. Tsunade was not to be outdone; with all her firepower, each punch destroyed one Iron Soldier.
With the cooperation of the two, in just a few minutes, all the Iron Soldiers sent for the mission were scrapped on the spot.
At this point, Charles and Tsunade stood side by side. Tsunade looked at the ruins in front of her, stomped the ground fiercely, and a long crack appeared beneath her feet.
The earth trembled.
Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "My experimental data!"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Charles, who was already furious, felt his blood boiling even more.
"Let's go, let's go for revenge."
Charles immediately cast a spell, summoning a giant Iron Eagle. He jumped onto it, and Tsunade followed suit.
The Iron Eagle spread its wings and took off towards the direction of the exposition. Charles took out a phone from his storage space, dialing Tony's number directly.
At this time, Iron Man had just finished rebooting Rhodey’s armor, and he heard J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice.
"Sir, there's an incoming call from an unknown number."
"Connect!"
"Tony, where are you?"
"Send me your location!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Tony laughed. "Haha, buddy, I knew you'd be fine!"
"I'll resolve things here soon. Don't worry about me."
"Tony, this is not just a personal grudge between you and him. This jerk bombed my agency and my lab. I have unfinished business with him. Quickly give me your current address."
Hearing that Charles was genuinely angry, Tony didn't delay.
"OK, OK, I'll send you the address immediately!"
"J.A.R.V.I.S., send this location to Charles Doyle!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Charles received the coordinates from J.A.R.V.I.S., confirmed the location, and immediately had the Iron Eagle change its direction, flying towards the target.
…
Triskelion Tower-
With Charles and Tsunade's counterattack, the alarm in the Chakra Monitoring Room immediately sounded.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
A large amount of Chakra energy reactions was detected and the area was Forrest Hills, 71st Avenue.
Several members in the monitoring room shouted, "Quick, quick, quickly report to Director Fury!"
"Retrieve satellite and nearby surveillance, we need to know what happened there."
…
On the other side-
Happy escorted Natasha to Hammer Industries. The two stormed into the factory, only to find it empty. Ivan had already equipped himself with the Whiplash Mark II and was heading towards Tony.
At this moment, Tony, looking at the still lying Rhodey, reached out and knocked on his faceplate.
"Rhodey, wake up quickly. The enemies are coming."
Tony opened Rhodey's face mask, and Rhodey, looking at Iron Man in a weak voice, said, "You can take back the Iron Armor."
Tony smiled and pulled Rhodey up, then asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks!"
"Listen, I'm sorry. I should have trusted you more."
"It's my fault for causing trouble for you, forget it."
"Yes, you were wrong. I just wanted to apologize."
While the two were talking, Tony started his mocking mode again, mocking Rhodey for having baby toys all over him. Rhodey retorted, claiming that it made him a tough character.
Just as the two were bantering, Ivan's army of steel arrived at the scene. As steel soldiers landed one after another, the two immediately stopped arguing and prepared for battle.
"Dadadada!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The steel soldiers opened fire immediately, using hand cannons, Gatling guns, and missiles.
Whether it was the difference in materials between the two sides or Hammer Industries' habit of cutting corners, Tony's palm cannons hit one after another, while the bullets hitting Tony could only scratch the paint and couldn't even trigger the self-repair system.
Just as the two sides were in a difficult and evenly matched battle, Charles and Tsunade, riding a steel giant eagle, arrived at the scene. Watching the battlefield below, Charles and Tsunade exchanged glances, then jumped down from the steel giant eagle.
"Boom!"
The two fighting steel soldiers were instantly blown up by them.
"Wow, our reinforcements are here."
Seeing Charles and Tsunade, Tony put away the special move he had just prepared and started using regular attacks to eliminate the steel soldiers.
Meanwhile, Rhodey, witnessing the rapid destruction of the steel soldiers by Charles and Tsunade, exclaimed, "Heavens, is this their strength?"
"Yes, very powerful."
Charles approached one of the steel soldiers, tore off its arm, and slapped its head with a single palm, while Tsunade punched another one, instantly blasting it.
Tony smirked, saying, "This is the real tough guy."
Rhodey mumbled, "Yeah, they are the tough ones!"
Soon, all the thirty-plus steel soldiers at the scene were directly destroyed by Charles and Tsunade, leaving the area completely clear.
"Tony, where's Ivan?"
"Haven't seen him."
At this moment, Natasha at Hammer Industries warned Tony, "Be careful, there's a steel soldier coming, and this one looks different, with an exceptionally high energy index."
Receiving Natasha's warning, Tony was about to inform Charles when an explosion sounded from the sky. Ivan, accelerating on Whiplash II, rushed to the scene.
As Ivan landed on the ground, he immediately opened his helmet. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the four people at the scene and felt somewhat surprised.
"Charles, why are you here?"
Seeing that something was wrong at the scene, Ivan immediately put on his mask again.
Charles pointed at Ivan and said to Tsunade, "This guy, he blew up the office!"
Tsunade looked at Ivan in armor, and with one step, she appeared in front of him.
Seeing Tsunade clenching her right fist, a massive surge of blue chakra, like a substantial entity, enveloped her fist and struck towards Ivan's abdomen.
"Dang!"
A huge metallic collision sounded as Ivan's Whiplash II was instantly sent flying, rolling on the ground and creating a deep trench.
Rhodey, observing Charles and Tony coming to a halt, walked over to Tony and asked, "Aren't we going to intervene?"
Tony shook his head and replied, "Let's see first. It seems we might not need to step in."
Ivan, stabilized himself by jetting flames from his feet. He had used the best materials to construct Whiplash II, creating a robust and excessively thick suit.
This prevented the suit from being rendered useless by Tsunade's punch, although a deep indentation was left on the armor.
As Ivan steadied himself, he immediately swung out his weapons, two plasma-infused whips, and lashed them towards Tsunade.
However, Ivan's swinging speed was significantly slower than Tsunade's movements. Each whip strike missed, and Tsunade reached Ivan in no time, delivering a punch to the armor.
"Boom!"
As Tsunade's fist connected, a crack appeared on Whiplash II's arm. Warnings flashed on Ivan's control panel.
"Warning, right shoulder damaged, signal lost."
But Tsunade did not hold back; she struck again at the same spot. One punch, two punches, three punches, and with a cracking sound, Whiplash II's right arm was completely broken.
"Ah!"
Ivan cried out in pain from the cockpit. His arm, along with the suit, was severed, and blood began to flow from the armored portion.
Ivan attempted a counterattack with his remaining arm, but Tsunade swiftly evaded. She then aimed her palm at the joint of the remaining arm and swung it upward.
During the previous exchange, Tsunade had learned the suit's tolerance to force. She transformed her palm into a blade using her monstrous strength and released a surge of chakra, cutting off Ivan's remaining arm.
"Ah~!"
Ivan lost both arms, and in pain, he cried out again. Unable to stabilize himself, he fell to the ground.
Observing this, Tony was astonished. This woman was formidable, not only in medical skills but also in combat.
"Charles, how did Ivan provoke her?"
Watching Ivan on the ground, Charles showed no sympathy. He then looked at Tony and said softly, "He blew up Tsunade's medical lab, containing her recent developments and important data."
Hearing Charles's explanation, Tony shrugged, completely unaware of Ivan's thought process. Why pick a fight with all of them at once?
Approaching Ivan, Tsunade stepped on his faceplate and crushed it. Looking at the unfamiliar face inside, she said angrily, "Why did you blow up my lab!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Ivan coughed up blood, then looked at everyone and said, "Since I can't live, none of you will have it easy!"
Tsunade, however, reacted swiftly. She directly stomped on Ivan's chest, instantly crushing the reactor in his chest, and blowing up his suit.
"Boom!"
Whiplash II was directly blown up, creating a massive crater in the ground. Ivan, lying in it, had turned into a pile of flesh.
Seeing this, Tony was speechless. This woman was quick to act, intervening the moment she sensed something was wrong, preventing Ivan from having a chance to self-destruct or detonate all the steel soldiers.
