Tony Stark turned his head and used the [Beyond Visual Range System] to look in the direction of the Human Torch.
After zooming in, he realized that the mouthy, bootleg "Captain America" was already grabbed by several Fire Lizard warriors, who were dragging him by the head like a chick towards the oil tanker.
"Damn it, this useless idiot is really making things worse!"
Tony Stark was almost angered to death. Nick Fury's judgment was getting worse and worse. It was one thing for the Human Torch not to help, but now he had become a burden.
What to do?
Even contacting [.] now would be useless; they couldn't get here in time.
So… should the rescue operation continue or stop?
The answer was definitely yes!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all this way today.
After making up his mind, Tony Stark asked in a deep voice, "[Jarvis], calculate the probability of successfully rescuing the President."
"Sir, the current success rate is about 9%…"
[Jarvis]'s answer made the corner of Tony Stark's mouth twitch violently.
What's going on? My success rate acting alone is less than 10%? That's way too low, isn't it?
[Jarvis], are you looking down on me?
But even Tony Stark had to admit that the question of how to successfully rescue President Matthew Ellis without harming him had become an unsolvable problem.
Even though he considered himself to have a genius-level intellect, he couldn't come up with a reasonable solution in a short amount of time!
"Tsk tsk, everyone, look who's here?"
At this moment, Aldrich Killian's figure suddenly appeared on the bridge above the "execution platform," looking up at the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] hovering in mid-air, and said triumphantly in a sarcastic tone:
"Isn't this the famous [Iron Man] Tony Stark? Welcome to your grand arrival!"
"Oh? Are you a fan of mine?"
Tony Stark retorted without showing any weakness, "Do you need me to leave an autograph on your face? That way, your ugly face should become more valuable, right?"
"It seems your foul-mouthed habit hasn't changed a bit."
A trace of anger flashed in Aldrich Killian's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it, pursed his lips, and pretended to be indifferent, saying:
"Presumably, you've already forgotten that we actually met once before… If you could have shown even a little bit of respect to me back then, I'm afraid there wouldn't be this situation today."
"But from a certain point of view, I still have to thank you…"
Aldrich Killian slowly opened his arms and continued with a look of intoxication, "Because if you hadn't stood me up that night, there wouldn't be the powerful and perfect me of today!!"
"Uh, I have to say, your narcissism is even worse than mine…" Tony Stark interrupted coldly, threatening:
"Aldrich Killian, I've already uploaded your personal information to the [.] network. If you dare to harm the President, even if you manage to escape today, you will have nowhere to hide in the future, so I advise you to stop immediately."
"Oh oh, it looks like you finally remembered my name?"
Aldrich Killian looked at the other party with the eyes of an idiot, then raised his finger and pointed to his face, saying:
"It's absolutely impossible to stop, because as long as I want, I can change to a new face and appear in the public eye at any time…
Moreover, I've been waiting for this moment of revenge for nearly 15 years… Do you know how I've been living these years?"
"Oh, sorry, just interrupting."
Tony Stark joked somewhat inappropriately, "I actually didn't remember your name at all. Just now, [Jarvis] retrieved your identity information through the facial comparison system… Uh, now you can continue."
Awkward!
Even a group of Fire Lizard warriors turned their heads to look at their boss with sympathy.
"You…"
Aldrich Killian's face had become increasingly gloomy, and he roared at Tony Stark in mid-air:
"Don't you want to rescue the President? Okay, I can give you a chance now… As long as you can defeat me before the public execution time ends, I'll let you leave!"
Hearing this, Tony Stark asked uncertainly, "Are you saying… you want to have a one-on-one duel with me?"
"That's right."
Aldrich Killian nodded noncommittally, then raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, and smiled evilly:
"Let me see how many minutes you have left… Oh, it seems there are still 9 minutes, although the time is quite ample, but you better decide quickly."
"Needless to say, of course I choose… to agree!!"
As soon as the words fell, Tony Stark had already controlled the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] to swoop down and land in front of Aldrich Killian.
Without the slightest hesitation, one person and one armor simultaneously punched towards each other.
Bang—
Between the collision of fists, Aldrich Killian's arm was directly twisted and fractured, obviously inferior in strength, but what was surprising was that the hand armor of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] also peeled off in large pieces.
"No way, how can this guy be so hard?"
Tony Stark was shocked in his heart, but he sarcastically said without mercy: "It seems that the victory has been decided… If you admit defeat now, maybe you can live the rest of your life in prison."
Aldrich Killian flicked his arm, and the fractured part was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye with the blessing of the [Extremis Virus]'s self-healing ability.
"It's a pity that I didn't manage to capture Pepper together as I wished…"
Aldrich Killian spread his hands unscrupulously, deliberately provoking: "Originally, I planned to use her as a trophy and publicly execute her with President Ellis."
"You… you're courting death!"
Tony Stark's face changed suddenly, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, because what he hated most in his life was someone threatening him with the safety of his family.
Bang bang bang—
The [Arc Pulse Cannon] in the palm, and the [Rapid-Fire Shotgun] on the armor's shoulders, swept towards Aldrich Killian's vital points.
But the latter's figure was as swift and agile as a monkey, successfully dodging all the attacks by jumping left and right and rolling on the spot.
His fiery red hands tightly grasped the hand armor of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor], and then yanked it outwards, unexpectedly tearing off that extremely solid armor.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
WTF???
"This is possible?"
Tony Stark was shocked when he saw this. He knew that the material he used to build the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] was high-hardness [gold-titanium alloy].
Although its hardness is not as good as [Adamantium Alloy] and [Vibranium], it is much higher than other metals currently known on Earth.
But even so, it was still as vulnerable as paper in the face of Aldrich Killian's offensive.
Moreover, what was even more fatal was that the opponent's close combat skills were obviously much higher than his… It could even be said that the two were not in the same league at all.
If he can't find the opponent's weakness and kill him with one blow, I am afraid that the situation will develop in a direction that is unfavorable to him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really disappointing!"
Aldrich Killian didn't rush to launch a new round of offensive, but looked at the other party with a playful look, like a cat playing with a mouse, and sarcastically said:
"Stark, are you going to hide your head in your little tortoise shell like a little turtle… When will you be able to come out and fight me like a man?"
"I am [Iron Man], [Iron Man] is me!"
Tony Stark snorted coldly, raised his right arm and fired several anesthetic bullets, but they were all instantly vaporized by Aldrich Killian using high temperature.
Swish—
Aldrich Killian used his hand as a claw, and tore off a large piece of armor from the waist of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] with swift movements, barely revealing the body of Tony Stark inside.
"Stark, has anyone ever told you that you are actually weak and vulnerable?"
Aldrich Killian firmly grasped the left arm of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor], and then used his hand as a knife, and a hand knife directly cut off the entire left arm of the armor.
Under the high temperature blessing of the [Extremis Virus], the gold-titanium alloy armor was no different from paper.
Fortunately, Tony Stark reacted quickly at the critical moment. After discovering the opponent's intention, his left arm decisively separated from the armor, which barely avoided the disaster.
However, the armor on his body had become dilapidated in less than two minutes after the start of the war.
"How about it, Stark, do you realize the gap between us now?"
Aldrich Killian said triumphantly like a winner: "If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, maybe I will let Pepper go after killing you…"
"Bastard, stay away from my woman."
Tony Stark seemed to be angered by the other party's words, and he ignored his own safety and waved his right arm to smash towards the other party, but the next second, the right arm wrapped in armor was firmly grasped by Aldrich Killian.
The scorching high temperature was transmitted to the armor along the opponent's palm, and soon formed a red hot area on the right arm armor, and [Jarvis] also began to frantically warn Tony Stark at this time.
And Aldrich Killian didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill the other party, as if he wanted to tease him on purpose, and ridiculed with a wicked smile:
"To be honest, Stark, you really don't deserve Pepper, and I… can make her more perfect."
"So, don't worry, after you die, I will take good care of her for you… Maybe this time next year, the two of us will have a lovely child… What do you think the name should be?"
This guy is clearly trying to kill people's hearts!
"Wait, wait, calm down, you're right, I really don't deserve her."
Tony Stark suddenly opened his mask, put on a look of deciding to compromise, and looked at the other party very seriously, and said:
"But one thing you are wrong, she is more perfect than you… and she will never have children with you, because… she is my woman!!"
Almost at the same time as the words fell, two miniature [Freeze Cannons] popped out from the shoulders of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor].
Two streams of extremely low temperature liquid nitrogen sprayed towards Aldrich Killian's head.
Although Aldrich Killian reacted quickly and dodged a stream of nitrogen coming towards him, his entire left half of his body was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture by another stream of liquid nitrogen.
[Freeze Cannon] is a new technology that Tony Stark specially added when building the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] after being "exploded" by Kamazoz.
However, because the [High Frequency Chainsaw Sword] was developed later, this function has not been used in combat.
Buzzing—
Before Aldrich Killian could react, Tony Stark had already ejected a short sword-shaped chainsaw weapon with a length of about 50 centimeters and sharp staggered L-shaped serrations from the armor's right arm, and slashed towards Aldrich Killian's head.
The sharp serrations on the edge of the [Chainsaw Sword] began to vibrate at high frequency in a very small range back and forth under the driving of the internal mechanism.
Previously, when dealing with the demonized Blade Warrior, it easily tore the opponent's hard skin, and the actual combat effect was super good, so it is now used by Tony Stark as a trump card!
It's just that he ultimately ignored a fatal problem…
"Do you really think that this little thing can deal with me?"
A look of ferocity flashed in Aldrich Killian's eyes, and he immediately raised his right hand to block, and the palm flashing with red light was directly split in half the moment it grasped the blade.
Tony Stark was overjoyed when he saw this, but who would have thought that the good times would not last long, the scorching high temperature quickly melted the blade of the chainsaw sword into a pool of molten iron, and Aldrich Killian's left half of his body that was frozen by liquid nitrogen also thawed and recovered.
Aldrich Killian tore off the mask and most of the helmet of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] at once, looked at Tony Stark with a stunned expression, and was about to open his mouth and say something in a victorious posture, but he didn't want the armor on the other party to suddenly crack open, and directly put it on him before he could react.
After successfully escaping, Tony Stark immediately ordered: "[Jarvis], help me take that bastard into the sky, and then blow up [Mark 43] together!"
"Okay, sir."
Without the slightest hesitation, the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] directly soared into the sky, and then exploded with a "boom".
The whole process was completed in a few short seconds, it can be said to be done in one go!
