Chapter 114 - Veronica Armor (Happy Holidays)

The first encounter with Iron Man took place in the ruins of District 13, across the ocean!Clad in the Mark VI armor.

He had since gone through the Iron Tyrant and the Scourge, solved the threat of palladium poisoning—Tony Stark had seemingly reached the pinnacle of his life.

Even the returning Demon Emperor was not worth his attention!Yet he nearly collapsed on the spot.

Then came the Battle of New York.

During the incidental recovery of mystical sigils, he happened upon Tony Stark wearing a new suit of armor, confronting the advancing Chitauri forces.

By then, he had already mastered enchantment technology to some degree.

The armor's overall performance had improved dramatically!However, it was still some way from being a true "Anti-Sovereign Armor."

Their next indirect encounter occurred at the public trial for the Ark Reactor infringement case!

Mark 42, the Vagabond Armor, crashed the federal court!Cradling Pepper Potts, he made a grand exit!

"…The damage from the enchanted bomb still aches to this day,"

Shen Du remarked with an amused expression.

Midtown Financial Tower.

Underground cavern.

The countdown of a Stark Industries enchanted bomb reached zero. The miniature mushroom cloud's tidal energy surged outward, scorching everything around!Even fully equipped, Shen Du felt a tingling burn on his scalp!His nerve endings screamed continuously!

Fortunately, the magical sigils activated, instantly healing Shen Du's injuries and removing external negative effects.

Yet his memory didn't fade with time—it became sharper, more vivid!Overall, it proved that Tony Stark had made remarkable progress.

He had thoroughly studied enchantment technology!Fully mastering it.

A series of enchanted firearms, devices, and weapons.Their power was not to be underestimated!

"Hmm?!"

"Iron Man actually intruded into Genosha?"

"Does he want to die?"

The Sovereign Mansion.

A solemn fortress built into the mountains.

A broad-shouldered, white-haired elder squinted slightly, eyes fixed on a floating figure in the distance, lips curled into a smirk, ready to strike.

He was about to use his magnetic control to crush the uninvited Avengers leader from afar!

At that moment…

Beep beep.Beep beep.

The control center's large screen suddenly emitted an urgent alert.

A video window forcibly popped up.

The one-eyed director, calm but authoritative, spoke:

"Magneto, I suggest you stop your little moves.""Tony Stark is not here to cause trouble, but to rescue Genosha!""The Demon Emperor Sovereign and his two hot-headed brothers are Stark's true targets!"

Nick Fury?

Magneto and Mystique exchanged looks, sensing something unusual.

The situation in Genosha was always under the watch of the National Strategic Defense & Logistics Department?!As soon as he raised his hand, the video window cut in—without a trace of delay!

A sense of foreboding surged.

How much information had Nick Fury eavesdropped on?!

"As compensation, I will negotiate with the UN and national organizations to secure Genosha's legal status.""I hope you can successfully restrain the mutant villains flocking to Genosha."

Ding!The real-time communication ended.

Clean and tidy!

Even the great Magneto fell silent.

"Nick Fury…""Why not a mutant ally?"

After a long pause, Magneto sighed:

"He could be."

Mystique smiled.

"…You mean?"

"Exactly.""Reasonable."

Magneto suddenly understood.

If Nick Fury could be converted into a mutant ally, it would bring enormous benefits to the mutant faction!However, the device for this transformation was still in development.

And his aged body couldn't sustain such high energy consumption.

"A genius scientist.""Right in front of us."

Mystique pointed to the sky.

A metallic figure stood tall!Immediately, her surface shimmered like scales, transforming dramatically.

A pristine white women's suit, neatly tied blonde hair, long straight legs, and a stunning, sexy face.

Pepper Potts!Tony Stark's destined lady.

"Raven.""I'm counting on you.""The era of mutants will inevitably arrive!"

Magneto clenched his fist tightly.

His gaze shifted to the distance.

A massive Iron Legion stretched in formation, palms and feet jetting dazzling flames, traveling at 15 Mach per second!Rushing to Genosha!

This was Stark's long-planned family party!

Nearly forty enchanted armors lined up.Varied designs, magnificent and special, suitable for extreme environments and complex scenarios.

Some could even orbit near-Earth paths or traverse molten lava flows from volcanic eruptions.

All armors were engraved with magical runes.

Capable of withstanding high-energy attacks.

Remotely synchronized via J.A.R.V.I.S.

Of course…In the future, the ultimate AI Ultron would emerge.

Responsibility would gradually be transferred to Ultron.

"Hope to resolve this quickly.""My ultimate AI only has the foundational logic built."

A mechanical synthesis sound emanated.

At the horizon, large flying pods descended, separating into modular components mid-air.They attached to the lead enchanted armor arriving at Genosha!

Fully encased!

Armed to the teeth!Complex modular structure, exquisite craftsmanship, independent AI and operating systems—even Ant-Man would get lost inside!

To compensate for close combat weakness and prevent Hulk from going rogue.

To possess the strength to topple the Demon Emperor Sovereign.

All reasons led Tony Stark to develop the large-scale Veronica Armor!

It contained numerous deployable modules.Modules could be installed individually.Equipped with battle damage support, allowing parts to be replaced anytime to maintain peak combat performance.

The rare materials used for the outer shell cost Stark Industries a fortune.Infused with trace Adamantium, greatly enhancing defense and durability.

Unlike the original design, due to the threat of the Demon Emperor, the Veronica Armor appeared more imposing and awe-inspiring.

Nearly five meters tall!Engraved with Eastern hieroglyphs filled with boundless magic, reducing damage from dark sorcery!

"Wow.""Unleashing ultimate on debut?""Seems Stark has learned his lesson."

Shen Du watched with an amused smile.

The Veronica Armor, or more accurately, the Anti-Sovereign Armor, stunned the entire scene!

Cruise City.

Mutant elites standing on the deck, with international dignitaries gasping in awe.

The Talos couple raised their arms, cheering.

"Meow~"

A sleek orange cat leapt beside them, opening its jaws wide!Countless tentacles erupted, swinging like hooks.

Incoming lightning spears were snatched by the tentacles and swallowed whole, leaving a belch in the cat's belly!

"What the—?"

The towering, lightning-wielding demon widened its eyes in shock.An orange cat… had swallowed its thunder spear?!

Could it be a divine beast raised in Genosha?

Due to the Veronica Armor stealing the spotlight, Gugu went unnoticed.

Of course…Shen Du saw everything clearly.

"Soul-Eating Beast!"

A highly dangerous alien!Captain Marvel Carol Danvers' pet…

"Has she returned?"

Buzz!Before reaction, a dazzling crimson energy erupted!

A delicate figure soared toward Tony Stark!

The chaotic power capable of reshaping reality surged, shaking the void and cracking dimensions.

Unleashing terrifying power against the Veronica Armor-clad Iron Man!

"Wanda!"

Phoenix tried to stop her.

Yet the Scarlet Witch could not forget her childhood trauma.Her entire family was destroyed.

Missiles from above obliterated all happiness.Another missile landed within fifty centimeters but failed to detonate.

She would always remember the graffiti on the missiles:

Stark Industries!Tony Stark's family!

"Huh?""A beautiful lady attacking me?""J.A.R.V.I.S., did I provoke her?"

The mechanical voice replied emotionlessly:"Sir, you may need to consult your security chief."

Tony realized he was at fault.

Quickly apologizing:"Ma'am, whatever past grievances we had, please don't stop me from subduing the demon, okay?"

"Stark!""You should taste the pain of losing loved ones!"

Wanda's face showed grief.Buzz!Unprecedented crimson energy poured down like a storm.

Before reaching Tony, it was intercepted by Mark 23 Shadow Armor!

Shadow Armor.Silver and desert camouflage.Multi-layer insulation, functional in extreme temperatures.

All family party armors specialized in a certain field, representing Stark's ambition and expectations.

Trying different approaches, accumulating experience, until developing the true invincible armor!

"Sir.""Mark 23 is showing instability. The lady's energy may have a special magnetic field, interfering with operational systems."

J.A.R.V.I.S. warned.

Magnetic field?

"Ignore her.""Track the location of the three-headed demon."

Stark raised his head:"Looks like I've found a demon."

About five meters tall, clad in golden holy armor, bulky and blue-skinned, with a hippo-like ferocious face.Standing amidst forked lightning clouds, a demonic god!

Exuding extreme danger.Frightening all who looked upon him.

Mutant villains in Genosha realized the severity.A lightning-controlling monster was beyond their ability to confront!

Chaos reversed instantly.Grotesque mutants on motorcycles fled in panic.

"Notify the Sovereign!""Enemy attack!""Assault squad, provide support!"

The shrill-voiced punk roared into the comms.

But it fell on deaf ears!

Elite mutants and Magneto at the mansion pretended not to see, leveraging the demon's hand to solve Genosha's rising threat.

"Annoying… but smart choice," Stark whispered.

The Veronica Armor charged directly at the demon amidst the lightning storm!

The two figures were nearly equal in size.Muscular, imposing, metallic surface shining brilliantly.

Whoosh!Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The stunned lightning demon barely recovered, only to see multiple enchanted armors engraved with runes releasing half-foot diameter pulse beams!

Compared to the Eternals' ocular attack, it was trivial.

Yet the green pulse beams, imbued with righteous magic, could deal massive damage to dark beings!

"Divine Warrior?!"

The demon was stunned.

Familiar yet strange enchanted armor resembled the divine armaments forged by Lan Caihe!

Ancient demons dreaded the Divine Warriors—they wielded spells to banish them forever!

With the right talisman, demons could be sealed in hell, unable to harm reality again.

"Then why didn't they act?""Has the ancient civilization lost the spells?"

Talos looked puzzled.

"The spells are held by the Divine Warrior family.""No one else has the authority to command their descendants."

The Monkey King sighed.

The Divine family was like regional emperors in China.For thousands of years, no wealthy family's influence matched theirs.

Heirs were only promoted with their support.

Their power once surpassed the throne!Even the emperor's laws could not bind their descendants.

Of course, over time, the feudal order collapsed.China's structure was reshuffled.

The families that had sealed the Sovereign—the Dragon-Slaying and the Blood Witch families, descendants of Master Ma—took their share.

Next were the founding nobles, governors of provinces.Private organizations for awakened beings, ancient cults worshiping dark gods…

The return of ancient demons was not necessarily bad for the declining Divine family.After all, they controlled the spells to banish ancient demons.

"Wait for the right opportunity?""Fisherman profits?"

Talos pondered.

No wonder the three-headed demon emerged, and China took no immediate action.

"Yes.""Thus, authorities seek alternative methods to subdue demons."

The elegant woman of Eastern descent explained clearly.

Crack!

A dazzling lightning strike suddenly hit the ground, as if piercing clouds and the abyss, like a heavenly pillar.

It smashed multiple approaching enchanted armors.

Wild currents shorted internal circuits.The armors froze for a moment, then recovered and charged again!

"Huh?""Seems there's another demon on the ground?""Excavator Beast?"

Stark feigned calm.

The enchanted armors split into multiple routes, charging at Scarlet Witch, Zhong Su, and the Ground Leviathan.

The family party had officially begun!

"Time to get moving."

Removing his glasses, the tall Eastern youth loosened his stance.

Dark energy spread across the land like a solid substance, forming spiraling tornadoes.

Magical smoke expanded, nearly covering the entire beach!

Dark.Ominous.Chilling mist rose.

Even the previously roaring beast was silenced, front hooves covering its head, trembling.

Even the king of beasts had to bow!
