"You're using a DoS attack to overload and shut down those Drone Mechs? That's too slow. I'll tell you what to do, you just execute."
Qingshui glanced at the computer, then spoke to Black Widow.
Black Widow hesitated for a few seconds, but then followed Qingshui's instructions and began to operate.
As a top agent, she was proficient in hacking, but not first-rate. She mostly relied on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technical support, which was sufficient for most scenarios.
Meanwhile, Qingshui had accumulated a great deal of knowledge over time. While he still lagged behind top-tier computer talents like Cisco, his overall technical expertise was approaching a first-rate level.
Two minutes later.
Rhodes's Iron Suit successfully rebooted, all Drone Mechs disconnected, and Tony successfully connected to the computer's network via J.A.R.V.I.S.
"Thank you very much, Agent Romanoff."
Tony's mustachioed face soon appeared on the computer screen.
"Don't thank me entirely. You should also thank your business partner."
Natasha angled the camera to show Qingshui.
"Oh! You're…"
"Clearwater. Don't guess. My suit's operating method is different from yours."
Qingshui snapped his fingers, and the Chakra Threads automatically manipulated Electrolight, splitting it down the middle from the front to reveal Qingshui's body in a suit.
"I know. Earlier, I didn't detect any energy radiation near an Arc Reactor from you. By the way, nice tech. But I don't think I'll have time to chat with you guys right now. Also, can you fly over and lend a hand, pal? I'll owe you one. Your suit can fly, right?"
Tony watched a new suit descend from the distant sky, muttering.
"Mmm-hmm, a Stark favor? Do you want it?"
Natasha turned to Qingshui and asked.
She wanted to try talking more, to extract more information from Qingshui.
"Oh, actually, there's something I wanted to ask him."
Qingshui remembered the Decay Equation that Connors had been unable to solve for ten years.
This was already an extremely difficult mathematical problem. For an average scholar, even a first-rate mathematician, it might be impossible to solve in a lifetime.
However, Tony Stark might actually have a chance.
His intelligence should be in the top tier of the entire Marvel Universe. He was a genius inventor whose technology surpassed his era, and there was a significant gap between him and Connors.
Actually, Lex Luthor and Batman could probably also solve it, but those two were deep schemers, each more cunning than the last, and Qingshui was afraid they might cause trouble.
And he had no reason to ask them for help.
As for Tony Stark, he also had a touch of that persecution complex common among smart people; he could build a bunch of anti-this-and-that suits, but his abilities were more reflected in scientific creation than in scheming and plotting.
One minute later.
A nocturnal, closed ecological park in Manhattan.
A metal missile fell weakly to the ground, its tail flame extinguished by the stream below.
"I'm guessing this ex-wife of yours is a Hammer product?"
Tony, inside his gold and red Iron Suit, frowned and complained.
"Yes."
Rhodes, realizing he'd been set up, said helplessly.
"Looks like we're in big trouble now. Can you do that thing you did to the other Drone Mechs again?"
Rhodes dodged Whiplash's electric whip while asking Stark.
"Oh, I don't think so. That super-high-temperature laser is one-time use. After it's used, the lens melts from the heat and can't be used again. But don't worry, we'll have reinforcements soon."
"Reinforcements? How soon? Can he handle it?"
"I don't know."
The two chatty suit wearers quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Rhodes's suit, apart from the energy cannons in its palms, used weapons from Hammer Industries, so its attack capability was predictable.
And Tony's suit had already used up most of its high-damage capabilities to deal with the Drone Mechs and Rhodes's Iron Suit earlier, so he couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack for a while.
Fortunately, the outer shells of both suits were made of titanium alloy, and Whiplash's electric whip also couldn't break their defense. Ultimately, he could only use his two whips to bind the heads of the two suits.
"Hey! Clearwater, aren't you here yet? If you don't come, I'm going to end this fight!"
Tony couldn't help but shout into the radio channel.
"I'm here. You look pretty beat up."
In mid-air, a dazzling Electrolight streaked across the dark night sky, arriving above the ecological park.
Whiplash looked up at the sky.
How could he not notice such a striking movement?
It seemed he had Tony and Rhodes trapped with his electric whips, but conversely, he was also pinned in place by the latter two, unable to escape.
Before Tony could even suggest his planned counter-wave tactic, Qingshui aimed downwards and fired a Freezing Ray.
Ivan had nowhere to hide.
The frigid ray hit its target, and the crackling sound of ice freezing rang out. Within seconds, under the continuous cooling of the Freezing Ray, Ivan and the Whiplash he was piloting were quickly frozen into a massive block of ice.
The frost also spread along the whips, crystallizing onto Rhodes's and Tony's Iron Suits.
Tony was still fine, but Rhodes was shivering inside his suit.
"Tony, I think next time you need to add a heating system inside your armor."
"Oh, right, I do have a heating system loaded into my armor, and the exterior paint is an anti-icing coating. I actually discovered this problem when testing it on your armor, but normally, as long as your flight altitude is below 24,000 meters, this problem shouldn't occur."
Rhodes: ...
"Add it for me next time too."
Meanwhile, at Hammer Industries Tower.
Black Widow silently noted some of the abilities displayed by Qingshui's armor and said, "Guys, you need to hurry. I just found a program Ivan left behind. If his armor fails to transmit his heartbeat signal, all the armors' Arc Reactors will self-destruct after one minute."
Tony and Rhodes quickly turned to look at Ivan on the ground.
"This one won't; it's already frozen inside."
Qingshui shook his head.
"I think it's better not to gamble, after all, you can't see what's going on in there."
Rhodes spread his hands.
Tony had already taken off to pick up Pepper at the Hammer Expo Center.
One minute later.
On a tall building outside the Hammer Expo Center.
As Tony flew up to the rooftop, carrying Pepper in a princess carry, the Expo Center also exploded.
After the explosion subsided, a reporter and a photographer returned to the scene, searching for a camera left behind in the ruins.
"Dude, I think we've got a big scoop!"
The photographer excitedly told his companion after checking the camera.
