"Did it work?"
Looking down at the Black Cat frozen solid with the ground, Iron Man Suit hovered in the air with its engine braking. Tony Stark, inside, let out a sigh of relief, but then his pupils quickly constricted.
Crack!!
The thick layer of ice covering the Black Cat's body suddenly erupted with deep, interwoven cracks, which then caused the surrounding icy ground to shatter. A black beastly figure violently leaped skyward!
"Again!"
Tony Stark gritted his teeth, raised his right hand, and once again sprayed out a large cloud of gas.
The next moment, he was sent flying by the Composite Xinian!
Iron Man, under the powerful Impact and inertia, moved at an extremely high speed, plummeting diagonally towards a city area behind him!
He was in the air.
Iron Man instinctively raised his left arm, and a strategic device that emerged from his wrist suddenly shot out a beam of high-temperature Fire!
The Fire ignited the high-density gas in the air ahead, and instantly, an even more terrifying fireball enveloped the Black Cat!
If refrigeration was useless, then high-temperature scorching it was!
...Bang!!
Watching Iron Man crash heavily onto the hard road nearby, sparking a trail of Fire across the ground, the remaining four members of the X Task Force stood silently.
Iron Man, covered in battle damage, climbed up from the ground. He glanced at the X Task Force members beside him, then reactivated his armor's engines and flew back towards the battle... Above the ruins of Jotunheim, Fire still blazed fiercely, like a giant fireball. A melted-looking figure plummeted to the ground from within it.
Iron Man flew to fifty meters above the battle, looking down, he could see the Black Cat's body. A layer of its dark surface seemed to have melted, dark, stringy goo flowing downwards.
"This time, did the attack really work?" Tony Stark murmured to himself, an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart.
On the ground.
The Composite Xinian's eyes suddenly opened wide, his pupils turning a colorless White. The Symbiote's dark goo on his body seemed to be boiling, or perhaps it was Black Fire burning fiercely!
Due to excessive use of the Three-in-one's extraordinary abilities, the difficult-to-maintain humanity finally crossed the line, stepping into the dark, bottomless abyss. A tangible aura of dark evil rose from his body!
If it were an ordinary Symbiote, it would have clearly suffered heavy injuries under the high-temperature Fire just now.
However, the Symbiote version of Xi Nian was not affected by the Symbiote's weaknesses such as Fire or ultrasonic waves. Of course, the Symbiote Venom dormant within him probably got caught in the crossfire just now... The Three-in-one state couldn't be maintained for too long, but at this moment, it welcomed its true form—
Since it was out of control, there was no need to restrain its heart and strength, but rather to indulge even more recklessly!
The Black Cat, like the most evil villain, looked up, its White, empty eyes fixed on Iron Man in the sky. The black goo that had been burning and melting from his body and falling to the ground suddenly transformed into countless sharp, terrifying dark Tentacles, piercing through the air at high speed, densely shooting towards Iron Man, who was suspended in mid-air!
Iron Man was startled at the sight. At the highest power of all engines, the Hulkbuster Armor moved like a White lightning bolt, quickly dodging the initial three or four dark Tentacles!
But the ensuing Tentacles far exceeded two digits, and they continuously branched out in the middle, increasing in number geometrically!
Those were tens of thousands of Tentacles!!
Iron Man had originally intended to try and dodge quickly, but seeing this despair-inducing scene, he could only fly forward at full speed, away from the Tentacles. However, at a hundred meters in the air, he was caught by the Tentacles, and the Hulkbuster Armor was tightly bound by the dark Tentacles!
"This is bad," Tony Stark muttered helplessly, and then he and the Hulkbuster Armor were pulled down!
Boom!
Pulled by the Composite Xinian's Tentacles, Iron Man plummeted from a hundred meters in the air, smashing into the ruins of the research facility, sending debris and scrap metal flying in all directions!
Dust settled.
Iron Man was half-buried in the ruins, the Hulkbuster Armor covered in scrapes and cracks. A corner of the Iron Man mask was shattered, revealing Stark's bearded face.
"Did I lose again?" Stark murmured to himself, the energy arc reactor on his chest and the light in his eyes dimming.
At this moment, the artificial intelligence Jarvis's voice urgently rang in his ear: "Don't give up, sir!"
"Of course I can't give up. I am—Iron Man! How could I possibly fall here!" Stark's eyes regained their light, and he finally reignited his fighting spirit, declaring in a deep voice: "Jarvis, activate backup device number two!"
Accompanying his words.
Above Kodomatis Island Nation, tens of thousands of meters high, beyond Earth's outer space!
A small satellite with the Stark Industries LOGO quietly hovered there. Just then, two square Iron Man objects, gold and red in color, separated from the small satellite. The Iron Man objects, one in front of the other, with self-contained engines at their tails, plummeted rapidly towards the ground below!
They quickly passed through the atmosphere, equipped with precise positioning capabilities.
One of the square Iron Man objects began to disintegrate and separate in the air, continuing its accelerated descent!
Clang!!
One of the scattered Iron Man parts, shaped like an Iron Man pillar, landed on the ground in front of the out-of-control Composite Xinian, embedding itself more than half a meter deep into the Earth, blocking his path.
At the same time, several other Iron Man pillars embedded themselves in the ground beside him, encircling Xi Nian, who was in the form of the Black Cat.
The last thick Iron Man cover descended, automatically locking into place by integrating with the Iron Man pillars below!
As for the other square Iron Man object, it shot directly towards Iron Man in the ruins!
Poof!
The Black Cat's dark Talons pierced through the Iron Man cover, and with his superhuman strength, he forcibly tore open a huge opening and broke out!
And with the Iron Man cover buying time, above the ruins, Iron Man stood up again, fully recovered.
Furthermore, he had transformed into a different armor appearance—
It was two to three meters tall, appearing burly and thick, painted in a gold and red base color!
The Hulkbuster Armor made its debut!
Tony Stark, now in the Hulkbuster Armor, took a large stride forward. His overall movements were slightly sluggish and heavy, but full of power, as he swung a large Iron Man fist towards the Black Cat in front of him!
To the Composite Xinian, this was far too slow, and he could easily dodge from different angles.
However, in his out-of-control state, he was unreasonable.
Xi Nian grinned ferociously, and similarly raised his dark cat claws, which had swollen several times in size, and threw a punch!
Fist against fist.
When the Hulkbuster Armor's Iron Man fist and Xi Nian's swollen, strengthened dark fist collided.
It was as if a high-explosive grenade had detonated on the spot, the surrounding air exploded, and a huge Impact and airwave swept outwards!
Tony Stark's eyes widened in astonishment, but under the astonishing force transmitted from the fist, the Hulkbuster Armor he controlled couldn't help but take a step back.
Even the Hulkbuster Armor, in a direct clash of its most powerful melee strength, still lost by a tiny bit!
One must know. The Hulkbuster Armor was a heavyweight armor designed to contend with the Hulk!
Before Tony Stark could react.
The Black Cat quickly pounced onto the Hulkbuster Armor, opening its mouth and biting wildly. The armor's outer shell, layered countless times, immediately cracked. Inch by inch, the brand-new Iron Man shell was crushed by sharp, keen teeth, and its components rolled into the black hole within the Black Cat's throat!
Toys, all toys... Iron Man completely lost his composure, his mental state exploding.
Two anti-armor strategic weapons were destroyed in a row, leading Stark at this moment to question science!
