Chapter 385: Accident, Final Rescue
"What?" Tony was taken aback when he heard this. Then he raised his head and stared at the captain. "What the hell is going on here?"
"Listen, Tony. Pepe is not in New York at all right now. She is conducting a company inspection, and she is now in Los Angeles. So everything Loki shows you is fake, and everything is an illusion created by him!"
"How is this possible?" He took a closer look at the image of Loki who was always staring at him with a smirk, but didn't say a word, and Pepe beside him who was lying on the ground and only knew how to tremble. There was an almost crazy look in Tony's eyes. "These are all fake?"
"What do you think?" Loki, who had been watching Tony's performance without cutting off the communication at all, showed an incomprehensible smile. "You must know that it's not me who needs you to stop most now, and whether it's true or not, won't you judge by yourself?"
"Captain?" Tony looked at Captain America with difficulty, hoping to get the most honest news. But this time the captain did not disappoint him.
He made a call directly with his internal communication, and through their Avengers internal communication device, Tony soon heard a familiar voice.
"Hello, this is Pepe Potts, may I ask who you are?"
"Pepe?" Hearing this voice, Tony couldn't help the great fluctuation in his heart, and made a voice almost trembling.
"Tony, what's wrong with you? Your voice sounds so weird!"
Pepe heard Tony's voice and felt that he was abnormal now. She asked quickly, but Tony gave her such an answer.
"I'm just checking to see if you've rested. Well, the signal here is not very good. I'll contact you tomorrow."
Signaling the captain to hang up the communication, Tony's face immediately turned into the deepest sullenness. He didn't dare to reveal his truest feelings to Pepe. But he didn't hide anything from Loki.
He had developed a hatred for him, and of the deepest kind. but. Before that, he had to figure out some things.
"How on earth did you do it, why can't I contact Pepe. Also, how do you know Pepe exists?"
"It's really a simple question to see your heart, Tony Stark. Your heart is just like your person, there is no obstruction at all. Besides, why can't you contact your little girlfriend? This is terrible It's really interesting, what makes you think I don't even have this little trick. Do you really think I'm the kind of old-fashioned person who doesn't understand anything?"
Loki nonchalantly said something that made Tony very angry.
And hearing his words, Tony's mood was so excited that he couldn't help it. He just sprayed a mouthful of blood on the visor.
"Oh. You are really fragile, Tony Stark. But that's it, thank you for letting me enjoy a wonderful farce. I look forward to meeting you next time, if there is a next time for us! "
Seeing Tony vomit blood, Loki smiled even brighter. He cut off contact with Tony, and left Tony here to fend for himself.
He could see clearly and hear clearly. Tony this guy has worked his life to the limit. For a mortal to have such willpower, it was obviously beyond his expectations. However, when all the beliefs that supported him collapsed, would he still have the ability to sustain it?
On this point, Loki is very pessimistic.
Also not optimistic about Tony's status quo is the captain and the others. After all, everyone has noticed Tony's performance just now, and his mental state is obviously very abnormal.
"Tony, are you okay?"
The captain asked worriedly. But he couldn't step forward to help him at all. Because the temperature on Tony's body was too high at this time. It's so high that it's simply inaccessible.
"Ah..." Tony didn't speak. Instead, he let out a painful howl that didn't sound like a human voice.
Having lost the support of his beliefs, he finally felt the pain in his body. And this pain. In an instant, he was tortured to death.
"Jarvis, stop the power furnace. Stop the damn power furnace!"
"Sir, the power furnace is overloaded. The nano-metals have invaded the power furnace. We can't stop the self-saturated absorption of the nano-metals. Now it's too late to stop the power furnace."
"Damn it!"
Tony cursed, and wanted to manually untie the Mark 4 on his body, but the metal parts that had completed nano-activation had completely changed their appearance.
He couldn't open this piece of armor whose basic structure had deviated from his design, so he could only continue to endure the pain of getting stronger and stronger.
At this time, others also discovered that something was wrong with Tony. Strictly speaking, it was the armor on him that was very wrong.
Starting from the power furnace of Mark 4, almost every part and every metal particle on his body became more dazzling. The roiling heat wave and the tangled flames erupted together, coupled with that special light, it looked as if it was about to blow up, and it was not safe at all.
Human beings have had countless technological accidents, so no one will be surprised if it happens again now.
"Tony, turn off your power furnace. It looks like it's going to explode!"
"I can't close it, it's out of control. Damn, get out of here, hurry. I don't even know what the hell is going to happen to it now!"
"Damn it!"
When the captain heard this, he immediately wanted to rush forward. But the increasingly intense heat on Tony made it impossible for him to take a step forward. Even the reinforced concrete under his feet began to melt, and the captain's body naturally couldn't bear such a temperature no matter what.
"Can't you do something?"
He yelled, hoping Tony would figure something out on his own. But Tony is now helpless. The speed of self-evolution of nano-metals is too fast, and with sufficient energy supply, they have become something beyond Tony's expectations. And these things are exactly what he is researching, but has not yet produced results.
If it was in the laboratory, he might be happy to see this change. But on himself, he could only treat it with the most desperate mood.
Hulk's attack destroyed many key things, and these key things made him unable to stop everything that happened on the Mark 4 generation. And if this evolution continues, it can be estimated that it will definitely be a tragedy.
"There is no other way, the power furnace is completely out of control. Captain, you go away. If you stay with me, I think we may be finished together!"
"We can't leave you here at this time, Wanda, is there anything you can do?"
Glancing at the power furnace that was too hot to look directly at, Wanda gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand. The mist spread towards Tony, but before it touched the power furnace on his body, it was completely turned into nothingness.
"No, I can't do it. The energy of the Ark reactor is too powerful, and it is impossible for me to distort such a powerful energy."
After some hard work, Wanda gave this sentence. And this is tantamount to snuffing out Tony's last hope. He reluctantly stood up and said to the captain and the others.
"Don't waste your energy, there is no time. Once the power furnace is reversely overloaded, then everything is over. I developed the Ark Reactor, and I know exactly how powerful it is. Wait until the last moment, it It can directly turn this city into ruins. And now, that moment is not far away!"
"Tony!"
"Let me do the last thing I can. I will wait for the last moment in space and try my best to reduce the loss here. This is my compensation for everything I have caused. !Also, Captain. Help me tell Natasha, don't let her tell Pepe what happened here. Make up a reason for me!"
As he spoke, he braced his body and flew towards the sky. The captain wanted to stop him, but was immediately stopped by the heat on his body. He could only watch Tony rise into the air like this, and then disappear before his eyes little by little.
"Damn, damn bastard!"
Before the war even started, he lost a teammate. And also a teammate with a very special identity. This immediately filled the captain's heart with anger and frustration. This was the first time he felt hopeless. In this war that he didn't know how to proceed, he found that he could not see the hope of victory at all.
Tony was gone forever. So who's next? With an opponent as cunning as Loki, how effective can their small, disjointed team be? To be honest, he had no hope at all right now.
Captain America is a special beacon, and he stands for many things. This is true whether people admit it or not. And now, his frustration is spreading it to his teammates. Each of them fell into a dark mood.
They are no longer optimistic about the future. And this battle is the same.
The sound of sirens is getting closer, the Avengers can't stay here any longer. They have to leave if they don't want to go to court. But now, no one brings it up because everyone is enveloped in suffocating silence.
Until someone saw a strange scene.
"what is that?"
Hawkeye, with the sharpest eyes, noticed the vision from the sky. A fiery red spot with a long tail flew towards their position. It looked like a meteor, but how could a meteor fall at this time, and it was still coming towards them?
"Be careful, maybe it's an enemy!"
Years of experience made the captain immediately return to a state of nervous combat readiness. He shouted at his teammates, and then directly raised his shield. And just as he finished speaking, that fiery red spot of light had already appeared in front of them.
That was Tony, or rather Tony being held. A figure grabbed him and flew from outside the sky, and landed directly in front of them. Looking at this person, the captain immediately walked to the front, erected his shield and assumed a defensive posture.
"Who are you, let me go!" (to be continued ~^~)
