Chapter 99 - 99

The owl hid in the dark, watching everything indifferently.

A large number of high-temperature armor-piercing rounds bombarded the Transformers, sending a constant stream of metal fragments and shattered scrap flying everywhere. Under these high-temperature armor-piercing rounds, only Optimus Prime and Arcee, protected by Donnie's reckless fire, could protect themselves.

The other Transformers looked miserable, with the worst ones having been torn to pieces and pierced like a sieve.

Fortunately, due to the strong electromagnetic influence on the ground, the positioning of these missiles was problematic, and only a few of them could hit the target accurately. Most of them missed the target or were dodged by the Transformers in time.

Donny controlled them to fire specifically at the missile silos hidden in various places. The closer ones were, the more they should be destroyed first, because these missile silos had relatively higher accuracy due to the distance, and posed a greater threat to the Transformers.

"What a shame, Bruce. You wouldn't dare use high-temperature armor-piercing rounds to directly target this area. Your armor is too delicate, and this high-temperature area would melt the delicate parts within. Since you're using adamantium and vibranium for your shell, you lack the thermal insulation of ceramics, and your various joints simply can't withstand such high temperatures."

Arcee drew out two longswords—they were nearly two meters long, true longswords. Because she was the smallest, her steps were also the lightest, allowing her to move quickly within this electromagnet.

With two quick runs, Arcee aimed her sword at the Iron Man from a distance and launched it fiercely. Arcee possessed a force of ten tons, and with her full force, the sword was more formidable than any armor-piercing projectile. The terrifying kinetic energy directly severed one of the Iron Man's arms.

The steel arm fell with a sound, and dazzling sparks were emitted from the interface. The complex circuits in the partition could be vaguely seen.

Downey took the opportunity to rush over, his hands turned into hand knives, and fiercely destroyed the opponent's legs. Sparks flew everywhere, and it seemed that the Iron Man could not stand up.

"How cunning! Even at this moment, they still didn't forget to send out a remote-controlled armor..."

Donnie muttered to himself. Just when it came into contact with the armor, he discovered that it was hollow... But it didn't matter now. He still had many cards that he hadn't used.

Even though the exoskeleton armor uses a lot of vibranium and adamantium, the joints and delicate parts inside are not. Tony can also use fire to penetrate them. Even if he cannot activate the armor, it is not difficult to destroy half of it.

What's more, his Optimus Prime and Arcee are energy outputs, and they have core modules embedded in them by Donny, but they have been pretending to be grandsons and cheating others.

All to bring out the Court of Owls,

He had to get the Dionysus Factor, otherwise this trip to Gotham would have been meaningless, and he would have been on the opposite side of Batman for no reason. This time, the Anti-Downey Armor was dismantled and packed up by Downey. Maybe the next time they meet, Anti-Downey Armor No. 2 and Anti-Downey Armor No. 3 will also appear.

Unless he kills Batman single-handedly.

The sparking steel armor, its limbs damaged, collapsed to the ground somewhat limply. Donnie's fire energy instantly permeated it, attempting to activate its internal components, leaving it completely defenseless.

Arcee also slowly stood beside Donnie, just in case. Speaking of which, Donnie had thought Bruce might have some sort of bomb planted in this, but surprisingly, there wasn't one. This didn't quite fit with Batman's image of nine out of ten tricks being underhanded...

Then, with a soft sound, the armor's chest split open, spewing a stream of acid at Arcee. The acid coated Arcee's body, producing a series of tingling hisses. With a thud, Arcee, seemingly suffering heavy losses, collapsed to the ground helplessly.

"That's right, this is Bruce's style... If he sets up a bomb, it will be a failure, and I will activate it instantly." Donnie murmured.

The electromagnetic field suddenly ceased, and the lights of Gotham City came back on. The bombing of the numerous missile silos also ceased. Looking around, the area was in ruins, littered with metal debris and ash from the explosion, while in some places, the temperature remained astonishingly high.

A bloated figure rushed out from the corner and punched Donnie hard on the back.

This time it was Batman himself, struggling to put on a bulky suit of armor and wearing electronic contact lenses in his eyes. This was the latest product of Wayne Enterprises, and he also used it to control the anti-Downey armor.

"You are very smart, Bruce. If you dare to carry electronic equipment on your body, you are simply seeking death." Donnie stood up as if nothing had happened. He looked at the bloated armor and did not sense any energy circuits.

"This armor of mine is purely powered by my body. You can't control something without an energy circuit! Come back with me, Harvey can't die!" Batman strode over and raised his fist to hit Downey again, but was easily caught.

"Bruce, Harvey can't save this city. This city is in more trouble than you know. Besides, Harvey himself has problems too. He's not as bright as you think..."

Batman flicked his finger slightly, as if sending a signal, and a huge building rose in the distance. Alfred sat inside and pressed a button, and a range of ultrasonic waves spread towards Donny and Bruce.

A sudden feeling of slight dizziness and nausea spread over Donnie's body.

"Ultrasonic weapons? Bruce, you've really put a lot of thought into this. Anyone else would have been defeated by your endless stream of attacks long ago. Unfortunately, this thing doesn't have such a significant effect on me right now. My health indicators are higher than you think."

Donny gritted his teeth and used his other hand to tear off Batman's mask. Without the protection of the mask made of special material, the strong ultrasonic waves made Bruce unable to hold back and he knelt on the ground and vomited.

Alfred was horrified when he saw this scene. He hurriedly turned off the ultrasonic weapon and rushed out the door with a gun.

Donnie held Bruce down and punched him in the face one punch after another. His punches were so heavy that each one left a mark on Bruce's face.

"You've resorted to so many methods to deal with me. Do you think Harvey can save Gotham? Who do you think he is, a god? You're putting all the pressure on him. Sooner or later, he'll collapse!" Donny grabbed Bruce and yelled at him, "You're pinning your hopes on the Knights of Justice. You believe Harvey can save Gotham, but how much do you know about Harvey?! How much do you know about the dark side of Harvey's heart?!"

Donnie threw one last punch, sending Bruce flying. Bruce's entire face was covered in bruises, which mixed with the falling rain.

"I have to do this... There are some things only I can do. If even Batman backs down... Who else will do it? In Gotham City, Batman is the symbol of courage... Gotham can do without Bruce, but it must have Batman..." Bruce trembled, and the heavy armor made every movement he made feel powerless.

He had failed. All the intensive preparations, precise calculations, complex plans, and enormous investment had all gone to waste. Unless he threw all his weapons at this point and bombarded all the missile silos, destroying both him and Donnie... but judging by the situation, Optimus Prime wasn't afraid of such missiles at all, so in the end, it would still be futile...

He got up and raised his fists stubbornly: "Come back with me, Harvey can't die. He is the dawn of legality. I won't be wrong..."

"I'm not going! That guy Harvey is not as righteous as he appears!" Tony answered unhappily, picking and choosing, gathering the remains of the anti-Donny armor together.

"You have to go. I have a hostage... Donny! You have to come back with me, or I'll kill them!" Bruce gasped. "This is my last resort. You have to come back with me! Since you can make civilians fight the gangs, why don't you dare take risks when you're so strong?"
