On the other side, Solus rolled twice before landing. Although he looked a bit disheveled, he wasn't harmed in the slightest.
Looking at Tony, who was already wearing his Iron Man Suit, Solus asked, "Iron Man?"
Inside the suit, Tony raised an eyebrow. "It seems you've met other Iron Men in other parallel Universes."
Solus said coldly, "Not only have I met other Iron Men, I've also killed them, and more than one."
"That's because you haven't met me yet."
Responding to Solus along with Tony's voice was a small missile.
Solus dodged sideways, easily avoiding it. Catching a glimpse of the missile not returning to track him, he scoffed, "It seems you are even worse than the ones I killed."
"Is that so?"
The Iron Man Suit's shoulder opened, firing a dozen missiles in succession.
Solus dodged, avoiding each one. At the same time, he quickly rushed towards Tony.
Tony's Iron Man Suit's fist conjured Rings of Raggadorr, meeting Soros.
As for why he didn't choose to fly into the sky to kite, only he knew the answer.
Soon, Tony, wearing the Iron Man Suit, engaged in close-quarters combat with Solus. As expected, Solus easily suppressed Tony, gaining the advantage.
After more than a dozen rounds of engagement, Solus, while Tony was barely parrying his offensive, kicked his waist, sending Tony flying.
Taking advantage of Tony flying out and being unstable, Solus followed up with another fierce assault.
This Iron Man's close-combat and reaction capabilities were better than those he had encountered before. But the weapons equipped on the suit were too poor, the missiles fired didn't even have automatic tracking capabilities.
Seeing Tony being suppressed, Wanda and Pietro couldn't help but want to go help.
Pietro summoned the Vishanti Holy Sword, holding the long sword, and charged forward.
In an instant, time and space around Pietro twisted, and the flow of time slowed down. In a flash, he launched dozens of attacks against Solus with the Vishanti Holy Sword in his hand.
But it could only scratch the surface, unable to truly tear through muscle and bone, causing substantial damage. The physical gap between Pietro and Soros was too great.
Whoosh...
Pietro stopped and returned to Wanda's side.
Looking at Solus, whose skin was scratched but healed quickly before blood could even spill, Pietro was full of disbelief.
Seeing Pietro return without success, Wanda gathered energy in her hands, preparing to act.
Solus looked at Pietro, mocking, "I was careless just now, I didn't dodge. But don't think being fast makes you invincible, weakling."
"Your attacks are so feeble, are you trying to tickle me?"
Upon hearing this, Pietro, in a fit of rage, got angry for a moment.
Lucas held Pietro back, saying meaningfully, "Trust Tony."
Pietro and Wanda looked at Lucas, puzzled. They saw clearly that Tony was at a disadvantage just now, being suppressed by Solus and barely able to parry.
How, in Lucas's words, did it sound as if Tony had the advantage?
Lucas didn't explain, but instead pulled the two back a bit, signaling to clear the space for Tony and Solus.
Although Pietro and Wanda were puzzled, they still chose to trust Lucas out of their trust and respect for him, leaving the battlefield.
As for Solus, he did not have that trust and respect for Lucas.
While secretly vigilant in his heart, he mocked, "Trust Tony? I believe he'll die very soon. Then it'll be your turn."
Although Pietro's attack didn't cause substantial damage to Solus, it still bought Tony some time.
Tony used this opening to control his Iron Man Suit and regain balance.
Inside the suit, Tony's expression subtly changed when he heard Lucas's words.
'How did Lucas discover my plan? But it's normal, his perception range is terrifyingly far to begin with.'
With his thoughts settled, Tony focused his mind on the battle at hand.
Solus was indeed a formidable opponent. His strength, close-range speed, and reactions were all superior to his, even with the assistance of the Iron Man Suit.
But he still had a trump card.
A trump card that could decide the outcome with one blow.
"Sir, the probe launched just now successfully detected the meteor in Earth's near-space orbit."
Inside the Iron Man Suit, Jarvis's voice rang out.
Tony's lips curled into a smile. "Jarvis, calculate the coordinates in real-time."
"Yes, sir."
On the main battlefield, Tony had already re-engaged with Solus.
Just as Solus was continuously attacking the Iron Man Suit, Tony was waiting for an opportunity to send Solus to meet his great-grandmother.
Soon, this opportunity appeared.
Tony manipulated the Iron Man Suit, suddenly unleashing an energy shockwave that repelled the caught-off-guard Soros.
Crimson Bands of Cyttorak!
A crimson chain seized the opportunity to bind Solus.
Before Solus could react, Tony manipulated the Iron Man Suit and shot into the sky.
No matter how strong Solus was, his mass was only about a hundred kilograms. Under the laws of physics, he was carried into the sky by Tony, losing his footing.
Images of Ikonn!
Iron Man duplicates were created, circling Solus in the sky. They summoned crimson chains, binding Solus.
Solus used the crimson chains for leverage, struggling with all his might. With his superior strength, he continuously broke free from the crimson chains. But it would take time to completely escape.
Even if he escaped, it would take time for him to free-fall to the ground.
This amount of time was enough.
Inside the Iron Man Suit, Tony, for the first time since the battle officially began, spoke to Solus, "I told you, you hadn't met me before."
Before Solus could respond, a huge portal appeared in front of Tony.
On the other side of the portal was a rapidly approaching meteor.
The portal was aimed at Soros.
This was the fusion of technology and magic!
