Chapter 58: The Miami Big Three
Meanwhile.
On the war-torn street.
Behind an abandoned half-brick wall.
HYDRA's assassination squad was tightly crouched here.
The squad was led by Captain James, along with two capable subordinates Wade and Bosh, as well as several other fully armed killers.
They were dodging the dust filling the sky and the stray bullets flying over from time to time.
At this moment, the mood of these killers could be said to be very angry, yet also filled with helplessness.
Originally, according to the initial plan.
Over at S.H.I.E.L.D., there were only Nick Fury and Coulson, and they were trapped on this street.
Under the cross-suppression of heavy firepower, James visually estimated.
They would definitely be able to finish the task quickly within five minutes and turn the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director into a hornet's nest!
James had already fantasized about it.
How generous the reward he would receive once the mission ended.
Perhaps a massive amount of money, perhaps an elevation in status, or possibly being bestowed with a mysterious serum that strengthens the body!
However, God seemed determined not to let them have their wish!
Just when they confirmed that the enemy no longer had the ability to effectively counterattack and prepared to charge over en masse for the harvest.
A damned monster appeared inexplicably!
As soon as this guy appeared, it didn't care who was who at all.
It directly went around destroying this street belonging to the gang!
Lasers bombarded everywhere as if they didn't cost a penny!
Facing a steel monster that human power simply could not contend with.
He had no choice but to issue an order to cease the attack, leading his subordinates to hurriedly look for cover to hide.
At this time.
Through the gaps in the brick wall, James intently observed the rampaging demon armor in the distance.
His expression was gloomy, and he did not say a single word.
The moment he thought about how they, the Miami assassination Big Three, could be so stifled.
Anger welled up inside him.
Team member Wade, who was squatting beside him, was a middle-aged man with large cheeks.
Wade slapped his thigh hard and complained angrily.
"Damn it! Captain! Where on earth did this guy pop out from?!"
"Could this be a secret weapon secretly developed by S.H.I.E.L.D.?! Knowing that their Director is in danger, were they specially sent out to save the day?"
On the other side, team member Bosh also chimed in and nodded, his face full of anxiety.
"It's definitely like this! Otherwise, why would this guy specifically run toward this street?!"
Bosh gripped his weapon, his palms covered in sweat.
"Damn it! If we fail to complete the mission today and let Nick Fury run away, when we go back, we'll definitely be severely punished by the higher-ups again! You know how terrifying those punishments are."
Listening to his subordinates' complaints, James still didn't speak.
But in his heart, he was actually also guessing whether this was truly S.H.I.E.L.D.'s handiwork.
After all, everything happened far too coincidentally!
Moreover, possessing such destructive power and a technology so tough that even armor-piercing bullets couldn't pierce it.
Aside from S.H.I.E.L.D., which held countless black technologies, James truly couldn't think of anyone else who could pull this off.
As for the U.S. Military?
James sneered with utter disdain.
That's completely impossible!
Just relying on that group of trash generals in the Pentagon who only knew how to embezzle Military funds?
Just relying on an incompetent government that couldn't even win against an agricultural nation?
Could one expect them to pull off a cross-era project?
That is simply wishful thinking!
James took a deep breath, suppressing the irritability in his heart.
He turned his head, looked at his subordinate team members, and ordered in a low voice.
"All of you shut up! Stop thinking about so much useless stuff first!"
"No matter who sent that monster, our goal is only one, and that is Nick Fury!"
A fierce intent to kill flashed across James's eyes.
"Keep your eyes peeled on this! Later, if the monster shifts its attention or S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel dare to show their heads, find the right opportunity to immediately open fire and take down Nick Fury for me! Do you understand?!"
"Understood!"
The team members responded in unison in low voices.
...
On the other side.
Beside the black Chevrolet in the center of the street.
Nick Fury and Coulson, squatting behind the car door, couldn't help poking their heads out to look at the demon armor flying mid-air.
Their current situation was extremely awkward.
Neither advancing nor retreating was viable.
They didn't know what this suddenly popped-up big guy was trying to do, nor did they know whether it was enemy or friend.
Furthermore, what gave Nick Fury an even bigger headache was.
A crowd had already gathered at the street corner not far ahead.
They were those daring news media reporters, as well as the Los Angeles Military.
Because of the appearance of the demon armor, the surrounding neighborhood had long descended into chaos.
Some citizens who had originally been too terrified to move by the recent shootout no longer hid, so as not to be swept by the demon armor's lasers.
They screamed and ran out of the buildings one after another, hurriedly fleeing in all directions down the surrounding streets.
But what made Nick Fury feel angry and speechless was.
Among the fleeing crowd, there were actually some death-defying citizens mixed in!
These people seemed to find it very exciting because it was their first time seeing something straight out of movies in reality.
Therefore, instead of running away, they actually held their mobile phones and closely followed right behind the demon armor.
In the end, they filmed it all the way onto this street!
As an Agent, what one feared most when executing a mission was encountering crowds!
After all, a crowd meant trouble, meaning uncontrollable variables.
And even more so, it meant their identities could be exposed at any moment.
Nick Fury believed that HYDRA's killers definitely thought the same way.
After all, as an organization that couldn't see the light of day, HYDRA didn't want to expose their existence to the world even more than S.H.I.E.L.D. did.
Thinking of this, Nick sighed somewhat helplessly.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something to Coulson and discuss the evacuation route.
Right at this moment!
Coulson's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted, pointing at the demon armor in mid-air.
"Director! Look quickly! What is he trying to do?!"
Nick Fury was slightly stunned, looking up along the direction of the finger.
The next second.
He was instantly shocked into dumbfounding, his single eye almost popping out of its socket!
"Motherfucker! Coulson! Get in the car fast!!!"
In mid-air.
The demon armor suddenly raised its arm, and a blinding light lit up at its center!
Not only that, several miniature missile launchers also popped out with clacking sounds from its back barbs!
And the direction these weapons were aimed at, coincidentally or not, was precisely the street where they were located!
More accurately, it was aimed at the area where they and HYDRA were located!
There was no time to waste words!
Coulson also reacted.
He simply couldn't care whether standing up would get him headshot by a HYDRA bullet!
If hit by a bullet, there might still be a chance of rescue, but if blasted head-on by a missile, absolutely not even ashes would be left behind!
"Chapter 59: Aren't We Like Humans?"
The two immediately stood up, yanked open the car door, and dived into the carriage!
"Bang!"
The car door was slammed shut tightly.
The next second!
"Boom!!!"
The demon armor ruthlessly fired two energy beams downward!
Immediately after, swish, swish, swish!
Several micro-missiles trailing tail flames also roared out from its back, covering this street!
Of course.
The reporters and Military soldiers located at the street corner only dared to watch from afar, not daring to approach at all.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
The deafening explosions instantly exploded in a chain on the remote street!
Huge fireballs rose into the air, and the Impact mixed with a large amount of gravel and debris spread all around!
In the blink of an eye, the street was surrounded by a sea of fire and thick smoke.
The scene was grand and shocking, just like the arrival of the end of the World.
For a moment.
After seeing this shocking scene, audiences across the World covered their mouths one after another.
They were powerless to help and could only feel a deep sorrow for the people of Los Angeles.
"Oh God! So terrifying!"
"This monster is simply too detestable! Los Angeles has been destroyed beyond recognition by it!"
"Could it be that no one can stop it?!"
The bullet comments and reviews on the internet rolled wildly, all filled with sounds of despair and prayers.
And at the scene.
After the demon armor poured out a wave of firepower, the thruster flames weakened.
Its massive body directly descended from mid-air.
With a loud boom, it heavily landed on the pockmarked street!
For a moment, the earth trembled, and dust and smoke rose everywhere!
At the same time.
The demon armor raised its ferocious head and let out a roar toward the sky!
"Roar!!!"
The roar had strong penetration and full oppression, making everyone around who heard it shiver and feel weak in the legs.
Of course, this realistic roar was naturally the audio called out by Jarvis from the movie sound effect library.
He felt that since the gentlemen gave him the task of playing the villain,
then to perfectly play a super major villain, he naturally had to polish the details.
Now, he had successfully caused chaos and attracted the eyes of the World.
Next, he just needed to follow the plan and wait for Tony and Luca to make a dazzling appearance and defeat him.
However, Jarvis felt there should be another scene.
After all, as a villain, he must definitely not be instantly killed by the heroes just like that!
He must first be knocked down, then stubbornly stand up again, then be knocked down again, and finally fall down after a fierce bitter battle!
Only with ups and downs in the plot could it set off the glorious and great hero images of the two gentlemen!
...
On the other side.
The central area of the explosion.
The Chevrolet had already been overturned to the ground by the Impact, belly up.
The surface of the car body was burned pitch black, and the glass had all shattered into tiny pieces.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Accompanied by a burst of coughing,
Nick Fury and Coulson crawled out of the car window with difficulty.
The current appearance of the two could be said to be extremely disheveled.
Their suits turned into ragged strips of cloth, their faces were covered in black ash and bloodstains, and their hair was partially scorched.
Although the specially made Chevrolet could indeed be explosion-proof and bulletproof,
however, it didn't protect against missiles!
Fortunately, the car was sturdy enough to offset most of the power.
Therefore, they only suffered some concussion injuries and skin trauma, with no fatal danger.
As for the HYDRA killer?
Under the indiscriminate firepower coverage, it was estimated that even intact bones couldn't be found now.
Coulson spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, covering his faintly aching chest and looking at Nick to inquire with concern.
"Director, how are you?"
Nick Fury did not speak.
Instead, he coldly stared at the demon armor roaring at the sky not far away.
Subsequently, he answered gritting his teeth.
"I'm fine!"
"No matter who sent this damned monster! Later when the Howling Commandos arrive, make them tear the monster into a pile of scrap metal for me!"
Coulson nodded, indicating understanding.
Just at this moment.
"Da da da da da!"
A series of dazzling sparks suddenly burst out from the body of the demon armor.
It was subjected to intensive bullet attacks.
Nick Fury and Coulson turned their heads to look.
They found that the Los Angeles Military people finally plucked up their courage and approached.
The leader was a middle-aged White Military officer with a fierce face.
He was loudly directing the soldiers to carry out meaningless firepower suppression on the demon armor.
Subsequently, he brought a few soldiers and hurried in front of Nick Fury and Coulson.
The officer frowned.
Looking up and down at these two dust-covered fellows, he asked in a stiff tone.
"How are the two of you? Are you still alive?"
"Also, who the hell are you?! Why did you appear in the central area of the engagement?!"
Nick and Coulson:???
Aren't we like living humans?!
Nick was pissed to the point of laughing.
He was already holding a bellyful of anger because of being inexplicably bombed.
Now seeing an officer whose Military rank was lower than his own by God knows how many levels actually dare to speak to him in the tone of interrogating a prisoner,
Nick Fury suddenly flew into a rage, pointing at the officer's nose and roaring.
"Dammit! Are you blind? Can't you see we are government people?!"
"FBI! Federal Bureau of Investigation!"
Nick Fury directly reported his undercover identity, and then said in an unquestionable tone.
"I now order you to immediately have the soldiers concentrate firepower to attack the monster! Attract its attention!"
"My support personnel will arrive soon! Now, immediately send people to cover our retreat to a safe place!"
This order could be described as utterly ungracious and unreasonable.
The officer was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression full of confusion.
Looking at Nick Fury's pitch-black face,
a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart.
Is this guy ordering me?!
A damned nigger actually dares to use this tone to command a noble U.S. Military officer?!
And still dares to boldly impersonate the FBI?!
The White Military officer sneered, and directly drew his gun to aim at Nick Fury's head.
Then he turned his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him.
"Did you all not hear?!"
"Quickly grab these two suspicious Terrorists for me! Cuff them!"
"Sneakingly appearing here, they are definitely in cahoots with the monster! Take them back for strict interrogation!"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed up like wolves and tigers to prepare to do so!
Nick Fury and Coulson were even more dumbfounded among the dumbfounded.
They never expected that they didn't die in the hands of HYDRA, nor did they die under the monster's missiles.
Instead, they were going to be arrested as Terrorists by the national army?!
This was simply the height of absurdity!
The two immediately shouted in rebuttal.
"Stop! Are you crazy?!" Coulson shouted loudly.
"We really are the FBI! Senior agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation! We have identification!"
The White Military officer sneered, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"Identification? Go to hell and show your identification to the devil!"
"Whether you are Terrorists or not, can I not recognize it?! You damned cotton picker, don't think about fooling me!"
Nick Fury:...
He was speechless.
Feeling his blood pressure soaring.
If the situation wasn't special right now, he really wanted to blow this racist idiot's brains out with a single shot!
Chapter 60 My Friend, You Are the True Hero
Just as both sides were at a stalemate, and the soldiers were preparing to forcibly put handcuffs on Nick Fury.
"Boom!"
The demon armor in the distance seemed to have been annoyed by the bullets of the Military.
It directly raised its huge leg and stomped fiercely against the ground!
A powerful shockwave instantly swept over!
The attacking soldiers and that officer were instantly blown away.
The scene plunged into chaos for a moment.
At this moment.
The fearless news reporters had also taken advantage of the chaos to approach the vicinity.
The high-definition cameras in their hands had long since broadcasted the arrogant behavior of the demon armor to the entire World!
Under these circumstances.
Seeing the rows of fallen soldiers and the invincible monster resembling a demon god.
Audiences all over the World fell into deep despair once again.
Is the monster truly invincible?
Is Los Angeles really going to be destroyed today?!
Just when everyone was feeling despair.
Suddenly!
A sudden change occurred!
"Hum!!!"
Two blue-white pillars of energy, like divine punishment, descended from the pitch-black night sky!
"Boom!!!"
The energy fiercely struck the swaggering demon armor!
The arrogant monster stumbled and retreated several steps backward!
A large pit was burned into its shoulder, emitting thick white smoke, and the metal at the edges was almost melted into molten iron!
Before everyone could recover from the sudden change.
The next second!
"Bang! Bang!"
Two blue energy beams descended from the sky once again, fiercely bombarding the chest of the monster!
The demon armor was repelled once again, its soles plowing two deep gullies on the road!
Everyone stood frozen in place.
Whether it was the fallen soldiers, the despairing citizens, or those reporters.
They all raised their heads and looked toward the pitch-black sky.
The reporters were so excited that they trembled all over, hurriedly zooming their cameras to the maximum focal length and aiming at the sky.
They saw that above the night sky reddened by firelight.
Two figures had appeared at some unknown time!
One of them was wearing a gold and red armor.
Dazzling blue flames spewed from the soles of the armor, allowing him to hover steadily in mid-air.
The style of the other person was completely different.
He wore a sleek, all-black armor.
Behind him, the black cloak fluttered in the wind.
"Whoosh!!"
Without pausing, the two of them dove straight down from high altitude!
The speed of Lucas Stark was so fast that it dragged out a sonic boom cloud.
He flew in front of the demon armor almost instantly.
Then he turned around and kicked fiercely into the chest of the opponent!
"Bang!"
With a loud crash!
The demon armor was kicked so high by Lucas Stark that its feet left the ground!
At the same time.
Tony Stark also followed closely behind.
He raised his right hand, and a dazzling light instantly lit up on his palm.
"Boom!"
A repulsor blast bombarded the demon armor hanging in mid-air!
Suffering consecutive hits while flying backward, its huge body lost balance and flew directly into an abandoned two-story building!
"Rumble!"
The small building collapsed instantly, burying the demon armor tightly underneath.
For a moment, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air!
Having done all this.
Lucas Stark and Tony Stark tacitly opened their arms and slowly descended from the air.
Until they landed on the ground.
Only then did everyone finally see the appearance of the two life-savers through the dissipating smoke and dust.
Lucas Stark slightly raised his chin, revealing a charming smile, and spoke in a reassuring tone.
"Everyone, do not panic!"
"We are here! The ugly monster will never hurt you again!"
Tony Stark, standing aside, also disengaged his mask.
With a click, the faceplate automatically popped open, revealing his smiling face.
"That is right, Iron Man is here! With us here, Los Angeles is already safe."
The scene fell silent for a few seconds.
Afterward.
A reporter suddenly jumped up in excitement, pointing at the two of them and roaring loudly.
"Oh God!!!"
"It is Lucas Stark! And Tony Stark!!!"
"It is the Stark Brothers! They are superheroes! They defeated the invincible monster!!!"
The shout of this reporter awakened everyone.
The surrounding citizens and soldiers instantly recovered from their shock!
"Oh goodness! It really is them!"
"Long live Stark! Long live Iron Man!"
"Thank you for saving us!"
Deafening cheers and screams erupted from the crowd!
Everyone waved their hands and shouted the names of Lucas Stark and Tony Stark.
The joy of surviving a catastrophe and the worship of the heroes reached their peak!
The reporters who had previously hidden in the distance also became excited.
This is big news!!
How could they still care about fear? They immediately swarmed over.
A large number of microphones were handed in front of the two, and countless cameras aimed at them.
The camera flashes kept flickering, permanently recording this historical moment.
Lucas Stark maintained his smile.
He walked straight to the White officer who had climbed up from the ground covered in dirt.
This officer naturally knew the two famous Starks.
Furthermore, his gaze toward Lucas Stark was filled with awe and gratitude.
The officer did not care about dusting himself off, quickly stood at attention, and saluted Lucas Stark.
"Mr. Stark! Thank you so much!"
"You are superheroes! Not only did you save our lives, but you also saved Los Angeles! You saved all the citizens!"
Mutual flattery makes things easier.
Logically speaking, an ordinary person would be floating on clouds by this time.
But Lucas Stark shook his head very modestly.
He reached out his hand, pointing at the officer, pointing at the surrounding people, pointing at the broken streets.
At the same time, his gaze also became sincere and filled with just the right amount of emotion.
"No, I am just an ordinary person."
"And you, my friend. You are the true heroes!"
"We just did what we ought to do."
Lucas Stark turned his head, glanced around, and spoke with a grief-stricken expression.
"Those who truly faced danger and used their flesh and blood to block in front of the citizens are all of you!"
"You are the ones this country needs!"
For a moment, everyone froze, and the viewers in front of the televisions also froze.
"No!"
"Is this right?!"
"What a noble character this is!"
"Fuck! We used to always call him a playboy!"
"We deserve to die!"
Likewise.
This scene was also broadcasted word for word to the entire World by high-definition cameras!
Everyone saw this deeply touching scene.
For a moment.
Audiences all over the World shed tears of emotion for the noble character and broad mind of Lucas Stark.
Sob sob.
Lucas Stark is such a good person, his kindness can never be fully repaid!!
Chapter 61: I Am Iron Man (Double Chapter in One)
The white Officer stood in place, his mind still unable to process what had just happened.
He clearly hadn't done anything at all!
Along the way, he and his soldiers hadn't managed to stop the monster at all.
Bullets hitting the monster's body were basically completely useless.
Even just a few minutes ago, he had been blown away by the shockwave of the monster stomping on the ground.
But now!
This super-rich tycoon worth hundreds of billions, this superhero who had just kicked the monster flying with a single blow!
Was actually saying in front of the media that he was the real hero!
At that moment, the Officer's eyes turned red.
An impulse to die for one who truly appreciated him instantly surged into his heart.
He felt that even if he were asked to block bullets for Luca right now, he absolutely wouldn't hesitate for a second!
Thinking of this.
The Officer trembled all over with excitement and stammered out a question.
"You… Are you Mr. Lucas Stark? What… What is going on here? How should I address you? Mr. Tony said he is Iron Man, then what about you?"
The Officer's question voiced the innermost thoughts of everyone present.
This was also the question that all viewers in front of their televisions wanted to ask the most!
You must know that Luca and Tony had just escaped back from Afghanistan a couple of days ago!
How could this notorious womanizer suddenly become someone with a Superpower after just a short day or two?!
Could it be that they were kidnapped and modified by aliens in Afghanistan?
The reporters' eyes turned red with excitement.
They desperately pushed their microphones forward, and the cameras locked tightly onto Luca and Tony.
This was a heaven-shaking big news story!
It was definitely a super big news story far greater than a monster destroying the city!
A scumbag who only knew how to party and hook up with beauties every day suddenly transformed into a superhero who saved the city?
What a huge contrast! What an incredible thing!
Facing the flashes and microphones shoved into their faces.
Luca remained calm and composed, smiling slightly.
"Can't this face of mine represent who I am?"
"That's right, everyone. I am Lucas Stark. Genuine and authentic, definitely not a clone or a fake."
Luca spread his hands and made a modest posture.
"As for how you ask to address me? Honestly, fancy codenames are just empty fame."
"I am still that Lucas Stark who likes to drink, likes to drive sports cars, and likes to have dinner with beautiful ladies."
Luca paused for a moment.
Everyone also quietly waited for the answer.
Afterwards, he looked at the camera and spoke in a sincere tone.
"I am not a high-and-mighty hero, nor am I an almighty god."
"I am just an ordinary person who doesn't want to see everyone fall into trouble and doesn't want to see a beautiful city destroyed!"
"I am still everyone's Lucas Stark, not changed at all."
Luca's words made people feel very comfortable, but it left the reporters feeling unsatisfied.
Not only did he cleverly avoid the question of the source of his abilities, but he also conveniently established a persona for himself that was approachable, great, yet grounded.
Sure enough.
Deafening cheers erupted at the scene once again!
"Luca! Luca!"
"You are our savior!"
But soon, it was unknown who took the lead in shouting a sentence from the crowd.
"Superman! He is Superman!"
Following closely, this title quickly spread out.
"Superman! Superman! Superman!"
Citizens and soldiers shouted in unison, wave after wave of sound soaring straight into the clouds.
Everyone spontaneously gave Luca a resounding nickname—Superman!
At the very outer edge of the reporter crowd.
Peter Parker and the fat reporter stood on tiptoes, trying hard to look inside.
Because they ran slowly, they didn't grab a good spot at all.
Hearing the people around shouting Superman, the fat reporter couldn't help curling his lips.
"Tch, what Superman. Lucas Stark is a thorough American, and usually so arrogant and domineering."
Touching his chin, he said with a straight face.
"I think he should be called Homelander! How domineering does that name sound!"
Peter, standing aside, was momentarily stunned.
He turned his head and gave the fat reporter a look like he was an idiot.
Homelander?
How did that name sound like a major villain?
However, seeing Luca and Tony enjoying the cheers of the masses.
A bit of yearning suddenly surged in Peter's heart.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
He couldn't help daydreaming.
If one day, I also put on a suit, stood in a position attracting all eyes, and became a superhero who saved the city.
Then what nickname should I have?
Spider-Boy? Spider-Man? Or Amazing Spider?
Peter thought happily, but suddenly, he turned his head to look into the distance.
Only because just now, his spider-sense suddenly gave a sharp sting.
Under his vision far exceeding ordinary people, he saw that some unusual people seemed to have arrived in the distance.
Peter understood that he couldn't continue observing anymore.
He had to make a move!
But looking at his clothes, he hesitated a bit.
In his urgency, he observed his surroundings.
Then, he saw someone sneaking around wearing a black hood in the distance.
Being stunned for a moment, Peter smiled.
...
At the center of the crowd ahead.
Luca enjoyed the cheers of the crowd, then raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the crowd to quiet down.
The scene quickly became quiet, and everyone looked at him eagerly.
Luca looked at Tony beside him and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"Alright, everyone. I think Tony definitely has a lot of things to say to you."
"Come on, let everyone hear your high opinions. Just say a few words."
Tony proudly raised his chin and casually joked.
"Shut up, you, I don't need you to make space on the stage for me. Wherever I go, that is the center of the stage."
Although he said that verbally, Tony still looked forward with a smile.
As soon as the reporters saw that Tony was willing to accept interviews, they immediately raised a large number of questions.
"Mr. Tony Stark! May I ask if this suit of yours is the latest product of Stark Industries?"
"Mr. Tony Stark! Regarding the accidental death of Obadiah Stane, do you have anything to say?"
"Mr. Tony! Currently, the weapons department of Stark Industries has stopped all Military orders. Then may I ask what business the company plans to do in the future to maintain operations?"
Facing these sharp questions.
The smile on Tony's face gradually faded, replaced by a serious and solemn expression.
"Regarding Obadiah..."
"I feel very sad. He has always been an uncle I deeply respect, and an old comrade-in-arms of my father. But I really didn't expect that he would suddenly leave me. May God protect his soul."
Tony shook his head, seeming not wanting to linger on this topic for long.
"As for the company's future business development, we have made comprehensive arrangements. Stark Industries will be dedicated to the development of clean energy and high-tech civilian use."
"In these couple of days, we will arrange an official press conference, and everyone will naturally know by then."
After answering regular questions.
Tony paused for a moment.
Then looking at the flashing lens, his gaze became firm.
"Someone just asked me why my codename is Iron Man?"
"I think this question does not need too much explanation."
"Because..."
Tony took a deep breath and said word by word to the camera.
"I am Iron Man!"
As soon as these words came out.
The scene first fell into silence.
Afterwards!
"Boom!"
The scene exploded!
Enthusiastic cheers instantly erupted!
"Iron Man! Iron Man!"
"Superman and Iron Man! You are the guardian deities of Los Angeles!"
The masses frantically shouted these two names.
Luca and Tony stood in the center of the crowd, continuously nodding and smiling, interacting with the people around them.
This scene, through television broadcast, moved countless viewers around the World.
However.
Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
"Roar!!!"
On the other side, in the collapsed ruins.
Suddenly came a deafening roar!
"Rumble!"
Countless brick and stone fragments were blown away by huge force!
In the sky-filling smoke and dust.
The huge demon armor actually stood up again!
Although the armor on its body was somewhat damaged, sparks were still sputtering from its chest and shoulders.
But a pair of eyes emitting red light was still filled with the desire for destruction!
It took heavy steps, walking out of the smoke and dust step by step.
Seeing this scene.
The cheers at the scene came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone's faces turned pale, looking in terror at Luca and Tony.
"Oh god! The monster is not dead yet!"
"It stood up again!"
"What should we do?!"
Luca immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of the crowd, and loudly appeased them.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! With us here!"
Tony also raised his hands, his palm repulsors beginning to charge, emitting dazzling light.
"That's right! With us here, no one can hurt you!"
Just when the two were ready to make a move again to beat this actor into scrap metal.
Suddenly!
"Awooo!!!"
At the end of the distant street, a heart-stopping wolf howl suddenly came!
The sound was extremely shrill, just like a call from hell.
Everyone was stunned, turning their heads one after another to look in the direction the sound came from.
Next second.
Everyone gasped, feeling a burst of scalp tingling!
Under the dim streetlights, a group of terrifying-looking monsters appeared!
That's right! Just a group of real monsters!
Walking at the very front were two werewolves covered in black hair and growing sharp fangs!
Their eyes emitted a bloodthirsty green light in the darkness.
Next to the werewolf was a woman wearing revealing clothes, with a face pale as paper and two sharp teeth growing in her mouth.
Looking further back.
There was also a mummy wrapped in bandages all over, exuding a putrid aura!
A monkey wearing a suit and holding a strange weapon!
A monster over two meters tall, looking a bit like that Hulk who appeared in New York a few months ago!
A Chimpanzee beating its chest!
At the very back of the team, there was also a monster with tentacles, looking just like a monster that ran out of Cthulhu mythos!
This scene scared the crowd at the scene and the audience in front of the TV silly!
"Ah!!!"
"Monsters! Monsters again!"
"Oh God! Is today the end of the World?! How come so many monsters appeared again!"
The crowd fell into panic again, everyone desperately shrinking back.
Luca and Tony, standing at the very front, also had a bewildered look.
Tony looked up and down at this group of weird-looking guys, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Quietly leaning close to Luca's side, he asked in a low voice.
"Hey, Luca. Have you ever heard any information about these monsters? Is this running out from which movie crew?"
Luca was also full of question marks, shaking his head with a bewildered face.
"I don't know either! I swear I've never seen these damn things!"
Suddenly.
Luca had a flash of inspiration, suddenly remembering the conversation he had just heard.
"Wait! Could it be... Is this what the black braised egg just said called Howling Commandos?"
Hearing this name, Tony frowned.
"Howling Commandos? Sounds like a rock band."
But at this moment, it was obviously not the time to care about names.
Seeing those monsters continuously approaching, the surrounding citizens were already so scared that a stampede was about to happen.
Luca immediately turned around and began to evacuate the crowd.
"Don't panic, everyone! Maintain order! Step back!"
"Reporters, step back over there, it's very dangerous here!"
Afterward, Luca looked at the white Officer and sternly ordered.
"Officer! Immediately organize soldiers to establish a defense line! Protect everyone well! Absolutely cannot let the monsters get close to them!"
The Officer snapped out of it as if waking from a dream, immediately standing at attention and saluting.
"Understood! Mr. Superman! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Just when the Officer was about to turn around to command the soldiers.
"Wait a minute!"
A deep voice suddenly came from the side.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
I saw Nick Fury and Coulson walking over supporting each other.
Nick stared at the white Officer and ordered in an unquestionable manner.
"Soldier, take your army to evacuate the crowd! Seal off this place!"
Nick Fury pointed at the group of monsters in the distance.
"Don't be afraid, that is my team!"
Hearing these words.
Luca's brow furrowed.
Those monsters really were his team!
Moreover.
It was one thing that this guy wasn't blown to death, but he dared to come out and act cool?
Luca looked Nick Fury up and down.
Then turned his head to look at the white Officer, asking with a face full of confusion as if pretending not to know.
"Mr. Officer, who is this guy who looks like a homeless person?"
"He actually said those disgusting monsters are his team?"
The Officer just wanted to open his mouth to explain what had happened just now.
But Nick Fury crudely interrupted him.
"That's right, that team is here to support me."
"Also, Starks. Los Angeles is very grateful for your performance just now."
"But, no matter how you two became what you are now. I hope that after this matter is over, you can give me a reasonable explanation!"
Luca and Tony glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.
Smiling very happily, and also very disdainfully.
"Wow, Tony, did you hear that? This black braised egg that crawled out of who knows which sewer is actually asking us for an explanation?"
Tony also mercilessly started to roast.
"Having lived so long, it's the first time I've heard someone dare to speak to Stark in this tone."
"Who does he think he is? The U.S. President? Even if it's the President, he has to make an appointment to see me."
Tony looked up and down at Nick Fury's tattered appearance.
"Buddy, you'd better go buy a decent set of clothes first, and then come talk to me about explanation."
Nick Fury was so angered by the two brothers' double act that he almost vomited blood.
He gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring his anger.
But others wouldn't give him the chance.
Luca put away his smile, stared into Nick's eyes, and confirmed once again.
"Are you sure those monsters over there that look like shit are your team?"
Nick Fury let out a cold snort.
"I won't say it a second time. They are under my command."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Luca smacked his lips, then nodded seriously.
Next second!
Luca took a step back, pointed at Nick Fury's nose, and shouted at the top of his lungs!
"What?!!!"
"You actually dare to hire these monsters to kill humans?!"
"You insane black braised egg! How dare you betray the human camp! You have committed crimes against humanity!!!"
After shouting this sentence.
Luca immediately turned his head to look at the white Officer, ordering sternly in tone.
"Damn it! Mr. Officer! What are you still standing there for?!"
"Please immediately arrest this dangerous terrorist! He is actually in cahoots with those monsters! He wants to destroy Los Angeles!"
Chapter 62: Justice League, Assemble!
The white officer was already extremely dissatisfied with Nick Fury's arrogant attitude.
Now, with Luca's accusation, there was simply no need for evidence.
A sudden chill ran through his heart.
He hadn't expected that this guy actually summoned these monsters!
This fellow was definitely an anti-human lunatic!
With a solemn expression, the officer drew his handgun and shouted to the soldiers,
"Attention, everyone! Take down these two anti-human Terrorists for me!"
The soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, directly pinning Nick Fury and Coulson to the ground.
"Click! Click!"
Cold handcuffs were quickly locked onto both men's wrists.
Nick Fury was simply about to be driven crazy with anger!
As the dignified Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was actually arrested as an anti-human criminal?!
"Let me go! You bunch of idiots! I am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Nick Fury struggled desperately, still wanting to resist.
However, several cold firearms were pressed directly against his head.
"Shut up! You anti-human bastard! Behave yourself! Move again and I'll blow your brains out!" the soldier warned viciously.
Facing the pitch-black muzzle, Nick Fury could only shut his mouth with grievance.
He was hauled to his feet by two soldiers, staring dead at the two people standing aside watching the show.
"You will regret this, Stark!"
Faced with Nick Fury's threat,
Luca and Tony immediately put on looks of righteous indignation and rebuked loudly,
"Shut up, you human traitor!"
"Let's see how arrogant you can be once you face a military tribunal!"
Soon, the S.H.I.E.L.D. duo was dragged away by the soldiers.
After dealing with Nick Fury's little interlude,
only Luca and Tony were left on the scene.
Of course,
what they were facing was the demon armor controlled by their good teammate Jarvis, as well as the rapidly approaching monster army in the distance.
Luca stretched his neck, making crisp cracking sounds.
"Bro, monsters are really coming now. How about it? Are you scared?"
Tony lowered his faceplate, and the repulsors in his palms lit up once again.
"What kind of joke is that? Would I be scared?"
"I am Tony Stark! A genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist!"
"There is nothing in this World that can scare me! Never!"
Luca laughed out loud.
"Good! Then bring it on!"
"Let the whole World see the first collaboration between Superman and Iron Man!"
Just as the two brothers were preparing for a big fight,
"Whoosh!!"
a white web suddenly descended from the sky, sticking to a nearby streetlamp pole.
Immediately following that,
a graceful figure wearing a pink, white, and black tricolor uniform swung over from high altitude.
She completed a beautiful backflip in mid-air and landed steadily near Luca and Tony.
The two turned their heads to look,
and were instantly stunned for a moment.
"Hey, Luca. Who is this lady in uniform? Your new girlfriend?"
Luca shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was also very innocent.
"How would I know? I swear I've never seen her before. But her figure is indeed not bad."
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Gwen Stacy, who had just arrived.
Before Gwen could even speak,
"Whoosh!"
another web shot over.
Following closely, a figure swung over in a rather comical posture.
"Ahhh! Move aside, move aside!"
Accompanied by a burst of exclamation,
this figure crashed directly onto the ground, rolled twice, and then climbed up in a disheveled manner.
Tony, Luca, Gwen:???
The three of them looked over simultaneously.
They saw that this was a man wearing a shirt and jeans.
The most absurd part was that this guy was still wearing a black mask on his head!
Two holes were casually cut into the mask to reveal his eyes!
He looked just like a robber who had just run out after robbing a bank!
"Good grief, who is this guy again? Has Los Angeles's security gotten so bad that even robbers have to come join the fun?"
A row of question marks popped up in the minds of the three simultaneously.
Damn it, who the hell is this guy?!
That's right.
This was Peter Parker.
Poor Parker had just awakened his abilities not long ago and didn't even have a decent suit.
Peter patted the dust off himself and stood there somewhat awkwardly.
Just at this moment,
both Gwen and Peter suddenly shuddered all over at the same time!
Their miraculous Spider-Sense emitted a strong resonance simultaneously!
The two quickly turned their heads, staring intently at each other.
They understood that they both possessed the exact same ability!
Full of surprise, Gwen pointed at Peter and blurted out,
"You have those abilities too? Were you also bitten by a spider?"
Peter was also very surprised.
But his personality was quite shy, and he scratched his mask somewhat sheepishly.
"Uh... yeah. I just awakened not long ago either. I haven't had time to make a nice-looking suit yet."
Where there is drama, there are bound to be spectators.
Seeing two strange fellows recognizing each other, Luca and Tony immediately looked at each other in dismay.
Tony couldn't help but complain,
"What kind of day is this today? Is Halloween coming early? How come as soon as we show up, so many freaks suddenly pop out?!"
Hearing Tony's words, Gwen immediately retorted without showing any weakness,
"Mister, please watch your language."
"You two aren't the only ones protecting the city!"
Peter also weakly raised his hand from the side and chimed in,
"That's right, I'm here to help too."
The two exchanged glances once more.
Luca furrowed his brows slightly.
He could sense that both of them were emitting unusual fluctuations.
It seemed there were still many secrets in this World that they didn't know about.
Besides his mutated self, there were actually other Superpower beings in existence.
Just as Luca was thinking,
Tony spoke up, interrupting his train of thought.
"Fine, fine."
"Regardless of who you are, and whether you're wearing spandex or a robber's mask—"
Tony raised both hands, aiming his repulsors at the approaching monster army ahead.
"Since everyone wants to be a hero, then..."
"Gentlemen, ladies, is the Justice League ready for its first battle?"
Hearing this name,
Luca was somewhat speechless.
"Justice League?! Tony, when did you come up with that nickname?!"
"Do you think this is a comic book? We don't even have the Flash! Can a Justice League without the Flash still be called the Justice League?"
"At least have Batman, right?"
Tony gave a proud, haughty snort.
"That's not important, Luca. A great team must have a codename when fighting, right? I think Justice League sounds great."
Luca smiled; what else could he say?
He really didn't want to argue with this naming-handicapped older brother anymore.
The four of them stared intently ahead once more.
Those monsters were already close at hand, and the demon armor roared once again.
Luca took a deep breath, his eyes already transformed into a state emitting white and blue light.
"Fine! Since you insist on calling it that name!"
"Then freaks, get ready!"
"Justice League! Assemble!!!"
Chapter 63: Taste the iron fist of the Stark Family!
On the other side of the street.
The terrifying monsters gathered together, seemingly communicating with each other about something.
They were the secret trump cards in the words of Nick Fury.
Howling Commandos.
At this moment, these monsters' feelings could be said to be very dumbfounded and somewhat at a loss.
Because just now, they had witnessed an incredible scene.
Would you believe it?
Their highest-ranking Officer, Director Nick Fury and Agent Coulson, had an accident.
They were actually pinned to the ground and handcuffed by a group of United States soldiers, and then forcibly dragged away like a dead dog!
And the person who issued the arrest order was the World-famous playboy.
Lucas Stark!
Fuck! What kind of business is this?!
Why would the World's richest man have people arrest the head Agent?
Could it be that Nick Fury hit on Luca's woman behind the scenes?!
The Vampire Woman frowned with her pale brow, revealing sharp fangs.
What the hell?
Didn't the Director ask us to deal with that mecha monster?
How did the Director himself get arrested by the army instead?
Could Lucas Stark be the leader of HYDRA?
The werewolf covered in black hair irritably paced back and forth on the spot.
Screw it!
Whoever arrested the Director is our enemy!
Snatch the Director back!
Frankenstein blankly looked ahead.
With his not-so-bright brain, he simply couldn't process such complex intelligence.
Just when the monsters didn't know whether they should rush up to save people.
The demon armor in the ruins suddenly moved.
As an artificial intelligence with logical thinking,
Jarvis analyzed the current situation within 0.01 seconds.
He understood that this group of monsters must be reinforcements sent by S.H.I.E.L.D..
Now, because of Mr. Luca's operation, the monsters already regarded Mr. Luca as an enemy.
Since the gentlemen wanted to act, as a thoughtful smart butler, he naturally had to help the gentlemen burn this fire even brighter!
Therefore, the eyes of the demon armor flashed.
"Poor creatures in the dark."
"Haven't you figured it out yet? It was those guys ahead who claim to be heroes that had your Officer arrested!"
"They are the real villains, attempting to destroy your organization."
The monsters looked at each other, their expressions even more dumbfounded.
The mummy scratched its bandages, its eyes full of confusion.
What on earth is this situation?
The order we received was clearly to defeat this mecha monster and protect the Director!
How come now, this enemy that was supposed to be eliminated is kindly helping us analyze the situation?
Are villains nowadays so warm-hearted?
Although they were monsters and looked a bit scary, they weren't bad guys!
They were also S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents with official status and salaries!
But!
The situation on the battlefield changed in a split second, leaving no time for them to slowly think.
Accompanied by Luca's roar calling for assembly,
the battle had already begun!
"Boom!"
Luca turned into a blur, and his speed instantly broke the sound barrier!
"Bang!"
A huge sonic boom cloud exploded in place!
He had already rushed towards the Frankenstein at the very front of the monsters!!
Luca felt that this monster was several meters tall and looked like it had some weight to it.
On the other side.
Seeing that the enemy had launched a charge,
the monsters couldn't care about thinking so much anymore.
The Vampire Woman let out a sharp hiss and commanded loudly,
"Assemble! Rescue the Director! Attack!"
"Roar!!!"
The two werewolves let out long howls to the sky, on all fours, rushing towards Luca like black lightning.
Assassin Monkey raised its dual guns and let out a weird cry.
The Chimpanzee beat its chest, and the Cthulhu Monster waved its tentacles.
The monsters successively displayed berserk combat stances!
The distance between both sides rapidly closed!
"Taste the iron fist of the Stark Family, big guy!"
Luca instantly appeared in front of Frankenstein.
Facing the monster whose size was a circle larger than his own, Luca expressionlessly swung his right fist directly.
"Boom!"
The fist fiercely smashed into Frankenstein's chest!
Frankenstein's iron-hard body was simply vulnerable.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.
Before Frankenstein could react to what had happened, he had already flown backward!
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, he crashed through several buildings consecutively and finally embedded himself in a wall, fainting.
One-punch KO!
Seeing this scene, the reporters broadcasting live with cameras in the distance were even more shocked.
God!
That was a monster several meters tall!
Was actually knocked flying by Lucas Stark with a single punch?!
Just how great was his strength?!
Is the legendary Captain America this strong?!
Luca withdrew his fist and shook his head.
"Too weak, simply vulnerable. Did your leaders raise just a bunch of trash like this?"
Just at this moment,
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two agile werewolves waved their claws, fiercely grabbing towards Luca's neck from left and right!
The werewolves' speed was extremely fast, and their claws were incomparably sharp!
But Luca was unhurried,
only slightly turning his head, as dazzling white-blue light lit up in his eyes!
"Sizz!!"
The scorching energy beam burst out!
The next second, two beams swept across the bodies of the two werewolves.
"Awooo!!"
The werewolves let out miserable screams.
Their self-healing ability seemed to have failed as well.
The white-blue beam instantly burned through their fur and muscles, knocking them flying.
Finally, they heavily fell to the ground, smoke billowing from their entire bodies.
Obviously, they had lost their combat effectiveness.
"Good job, Luca! But this move looks a bit like an eye disease!"
In mid-air, Tony's teasing voice came over.
Tony was currently hovering flexibly above the monsters' heads,
from time to time raising his hands, continuously firing his palm repulsors.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The energy hit the mummy, blasting it back repeatedly, and the bandages on its body were almost set on fire.
"Damn it! The smell on this guy is even worse than moldy pizza!"
Tony complained while opening his shoulder micro-missile launcher.
"Go to hell, Halloween rejects!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Several micro-missiles dragging smoke trails flew towards the Chimpanzee.
The Chimpanzee roared, casually pulling up a streetlight pole to blow up the micro-missiles mid-air!!
"Rumble!"
The fire of the explosion illuminated the night sky.
Seeing this, Luca immediately became amused and mocked,
"Tony! Did you learn your aim from a nursing home?! You can't even hit a monkey!"
"Your armor looks just like a flying tomato, aside from glowing, it's completely useless!"
Hearing Luca's taunts, Tony was unhappy.
"Shut up, you humanoid walking light bulb!"
"I am conducting tactical containment! Do you understand what tactics are? You brute who only knows how to use brute force!"
Tony retorted while completing a beautiful roll in the air, dodging the tentacles lashed over by the Cthulhu Monster.
"Jarvis! Lock onto that ugly thing with octopus legs!"
Chapter 64: Showing Off? I'll Make You Fly!
On the other side.
Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy had also joined the battle.
Gwen's movements were highly agile, like an elf dancing in the dark night.
"Whoosh!"
A strand of spider silk shot from her wrist, quickly adhering to the wall of the nearby building.
Gwen swung hard, her body flipping in mid-air, flying directly over Hit-Monkey's head.
"Hey! Little monkey! Your sword looks pretty dangerous!"
Gwen chuckled, wrapping her legs around Hit-Monkey's neck, and then gave it a hard twist!
"Bang!"
Hit-Monkey was slammed heavily onto the ground by her scissor kick, smashing a large crater.
Right after, Gwen repeatedly shot spider silk from both hands, wrapping the monkey tightly into a bundle.
"One down!"
Gwen clapped her hands.
On the other side, Peter's fighting style appeared somewhat clumsy and comical.
He had only recently awakened his abilities and couldn't fully control his strength yet.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Peter swung wildly on his spider silk in mid-air, shouting and screaming while dodging the Vampire Woman's attacks.
The Vampire Woman was extremely fast, turning into black afterimages as she constantly darted around Peter.
Her sharp nails came close to tearing Peter's clothes several times.
"Ma'am! Please calm down! I really don't want to hurt you!"
Peter dodged clumsily, still trying to appeal to her with words.
The Vampire Woman sneered, her eyes suddenly turning blood-red.
This was her ability, a form of mental hypnosis.
"Look into my eyes, boy. Be a good boy and become my blood food."
Logically speaking, with Spider-Man's willpower, he shouldn't be controlled.
But because Peter lacked experience, he fell for it immediately.
He only felt a wave of dizziness in his brain, and his movements instantly slowed down.
Just as the Vampire Woman smiled arrogantly, preparing to knock Peter out.
"Bang!"
A white-blue energy beam suddenly struck the Vampire Woman's shoulder, instantly blasting her away!
Peter snapped back to his senses and turned to look.
He saw Luca standing not far away, making a finger-gun gesture.
The energy beam just now had actually been fired from his fingertip!
Luca raised an eyebrow at Peter.
"Hey, mask boy, don't just stare into a woman's eyes on the battlefield, especially one wearing too much foundation."
Seeing Peter's admiring gaze.
Luca felt secretly pleased.
Look at that!
How great is this ability!
This level of coolness could absolutely charm thousands of girls!
Peter also shouted excitedly.
"Thank you, Mr. Superman! That move just now was so cool!"
The Vampire Woman climbed up from the ground, clutching her shoulder and looking at Luca with a face full of terror.
What kind of monster was this guy?!
His attacks were practically the bane of Vampires!
The Vampire Woman gritted her teeth, knowing she was absolutely no match for Luca.
In her desperation.
She quickly shouted at the Cthulhu Monster in the distance.
"Stop him!"
The Cthulhu Monster roared, swinging over a dozen tentacles to smash down at Luca!
Each of these tentacles carried several tons of force.
If an ordinary person were hit, they would definitely be blown to pieces.
But facing this overwhelming attack.
Luca not only didn't dodge, but instead laughed with excitement.
"Bring it on!"
"Boom!"
Luca soared into the sky, rushing straight towards those tentacles!
Then he reached out both hands and grabbed one of the tentacles.
"Trying to act cool? I'll make you fly!"
In the next second!
Luca swung the massive Cthulhu Monster into the air by its tentacle.
"Oh my God!"
The reporters in the distance frantically pressed their shutters, trembling with excitement.
This scene was too visually shocking!
A human standing 1.9 meters tall was actually swinging a mountain-sized monster around like a toy?!
"Go to hell, you ugly freak!"
Luca spun twice in mid-air and then let go.
"Whoosh!!!"
The Cthulhu Monster traced a parabolic arc through the air.
Coincidentally, it crashed straight toward the demon armor standing in the ruins, watching the show!
"Boom!"
The demon armor was hit dead-on by the sudden attack.
The two monsters instantly rolled into a heap, collapsing a large section of nearby buildings.
Inside Tony's mask, Jarvis's helpless voice came through.
"Sir, although I am only an artificial intelligence, I must remind you that Mr. Luca's actions just now were very impolite. The repair costs for this armor are quite high."
Tony laughed out loud, looking completely nonchalant.
"Don't sweat the details, Jarvis! Luca is just helping you add a bit of realistic battle damage! Keep playing your villain!"
At this moment.
The situation on the battlefield had already turned completely one-sided.
The Howling Commandos had absolutely no power to fight back in front of them.
Frankensteins Monster was knocked out, the Werewolf was charred, the Mummy was in a wretched state, Hit-Monkey was tied up like a zongzi, and the Cthulhu Monster went without saying.
The remaining Vampire Woman and Chimpanzee were also retreating steadily under the joint attack of Tony and Gwen.
Tony hovered in mid-air, observing the situation, and then bragged proudly.
"Do you see that, Luca? This is the power of teamwork!"
"Under the tactical command of the great Iron Man, the monsters are simply defenseless!"
Luca landed on the ground, mercilessly deflating his ego.
"Come on, Tony. If I hadn't taken down the biggest guy, you'd still be playing hide-and-seek with them in the sky."
"Besides, you fired so many missiles just now, and yet you didn't manage to blow up a single one."
"I strongly suggest you disband your weapons research and development department when we get back. It's a complete waste of my money."
Tony laughed from sheer exasperation.
"What do you know! I'm controlling my firepower to avoid unnecessary casualties! Do you think everyone is a destructive brute like you?!"
The two brothers bickered on the battlefield as if no one else was around.
This scene left Gwen and Peter, who were standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.
The corner of Gwen's mouth twitched slightly.
Are these two guys really the superheroes who just saved the city?
Why do they seem like kids fighting over toys in a kindergarten?
However, although they verbally disdained each other.
Gwen could feel that the tacit understanding and care between these two brothers couldn't be hidden.
Compared to the old-school Tony, Gwen appreciated Luca more, whose sense of power was maxed out.
Of course, the truth is... strength aside, that face is really handsome!
Cough, cough!
Is this the value of having two Starks?!
Gwen thought of Howard Stark's legendary life.
And now, there are two such Starks in this World!!
Chapter 65: The Anti-Luca Armor Must Be Put on the Agenda
...
Everyone knows.
Normally, the U.S. Military is invisible, only appearing after the battle is over.
Sure enough.
The sound of sirens and the roar of armored vehicles came from the distance.
A large number of Los Angeles Police and Military reinforcements finally arrived at the scene.
Looking closely, it was indeed the white officer who had been moved by Luca earlier, leading a group of fully armed soldiers as they rushed over.
This wasn't because they were being lazy.
Luca was a genuine American, after all!
Since they were all Americans, was there any difference between Luca fighting for them and them fighting themselves?
That's right, no difference at all.
Looking at it another way.
Luca equals Superman, and I equal Luca.
This way, I am also Superman!!
The white officer thought to himself, unable to help but nod in satisfaction.
However, when they saw the defeated monsters scattered all over the ground, as well as the unharmed Luca and the others,
the soldiers stopped in their tracks, their eyes filled with deep awe and admiration.
The white officer quickly walked up to Luca and excitedly gave a Military salute.
"Mr. Superman! Mr. Iron Man! And these two... mysterious heroes!"
"You have saved Los Angeles once again! You defeated these terrifying monsters!"
"On behalf of the Military and all the citizens, I pay you our highest respects!"
As the officer finished speaking,
the citizens and reporters who had been hiding in the distance also surged forward.
"Superman! Iron Man!"
"Justice League! Justice League!"
Deafening cheers echoed through the streets once again.
Luca stood in the center of the crowd, enjoying the moment of being the center of attention.
He slightly raised his chin, a charming smile on his face.
Very good, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Oh, Nick Fury, Nick Fury.
As long as I stand on the moral high ground, as long as I become a hero to all of humanity,
you can forget about ever using rules to kidnap me!
With this thought, Luca smiled and glanced at Tony and the other two, who were also enjoying the cheers.
"Justice League, huh?"
"Sounds pretty good."
In this wonderful moment, everyone was immersed in joy.
But as fate would have it, something unexpected was about to happen.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Suddenly!
Rumble!!
A violent shaking of the earth came from the ruins in the distance!
The cheering citizens and soldiers instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked in terror toward the direction of the sound.
There, right where the monsters had just gathered.
Only then did they notice that a colossus was still standing there.
"Roar!!!"
A deafening roar suddenly exploded!
Immediately after,
Bang!
a figure radiating pure pressure stepped out from the darkness.
Only then did everyone see the true face of this monster.
It was nearly three meters tall and entirely green.
Its exaggerated muscles bulged one by one, sending shivers down people's spines.
Its ears flared outward like a pair of wings.
Even stranger, it had long black hair.
A few sharp bone spurs also grew from its body!
This appearance bore a striking resemblance to the Hulk and Abomination who had run amok on the streets of New York a few months ago!
However, its body was slightly smaller than the real Abomination.
It looked like a scaled-down version, or rather, an underage version—a Teenage Abomination!
"Oh my God! What on earth is that?!"
"It's the monster that appeared in New York before! How did it get to Los Angeles?!"
The crowd fell into a panic once again, and the soldiers retreated in fear, their guns trembling in their hands.
While it was true they were soldiers of the nation, the government didn't pay them enough to risk their lives!
There was really no need to risk their lives.
In mid-air,
Tony observed the monster, raising an eyebrow.
"Wow, Luca."
"Looks like your move from earlier has already expired?"
"Didn't you say you'd take down the biggest guy with one punch? What, was your soft fist actually just giving him a full-body massage?"
"And how did you miss one? That doesn't seem like a detail Superman would overlook, tsk tsk."
Luca's face instantly darkened.
Looking at the 'Teenage Abomination' beating its chest, he was also speechless.
'Damn it, did my showboating actually backfire?'
Although he thought this in his heart,
on the surface, he still maintained a calm and composed expression.
Rolling his eyes at Tony, Luca retorted loudly,
"Shut up, Tony!"
"Since this guy who looks like a moldy Hulk still wants to play, I'll play with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Luca's eyes grew sharp, and a powerful battle intent erupted from him.
At this moment,
the Teenage Abomination had also locked its gaze firmly onto Luca.
Damn it, his companions were defeated by this guy!
The Director was also captured!
He had to take revenge!
"Roar!"
The Teenage Abomination roared, its thick legs pushing off the ground!
Boom!
The ground collapsed into a deep pit, and he charged toward Luca with unstoppable momentum!
With every step he took, the street trembled!
Luca smiled slightly, bending his legs slightly and adopting a fighting stance.
By now, the Teenage Abomination had already rushed in front of him, swinging its fist toward his head.
Luca had no intention of defending; instead, he swung his right fist and met it head-on!
Bang!!!
One large and one small fist collided violently!
A loud bang instantly exploded on the street!
A visible shockwave rapidly spread in all directions!
"Oh my God!"
The reporters in the distance held onto solid objects tightly, barely managing not to be blown away.
But the scene before them already had them too excited to sleep.
Lucas Stark had actually blocked the monster's full-force blow in a contest of strength!
Moreover, although the ground beneath his feet had shattered, he remained completely motionless.
"Is this all the strength you have, big guy?"
Luca was also somewhat surprised.
He looked so strong, but this was all he had?!
He had thought it would be a tough battle and had even prepared himself to get hurt.
But looking at it now...
Luca couldn't help but shake his head, showing a look of disdain.
"It seems you're not only ugly, but also a useless weakling who hasn't eaten!"
Hearing Luca's mockery, the Teenage Abomination was completely infuriated.
It roared again, quickly raising its other hand to reveal bone spurs, and then stabbed viciously toward Luca!
If this hit connected solidly, even an armored vehicle would be pierced through instantly!
But Luca's reaction speed had long since surpassed that of ordinary superpowered individuals.
He slightly sidestepped, easily dodging the fatal blow.
Immediately after, Luca turned defense into offense.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
His fists turned into countless afterimages, pouring down all over the Teenage Abomination's body like a torrential rain!!
The monster itself was also utterly bewildered.
Since accidentally turning into this appearance two months ago, except for the real Abomination,
he had never met an opponent who could beat him so easily that he couldn't even fight back.
"Roar... Ow!"
The Teenage Abomination was beaten back repeatedly, letting out painful wails from its mouth.
It tried to fight back, but Luca's speed was simply too fast; it couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
On a car roof in the distance,
Gwen clicked her tongue in secret upon seeing this scene.
"Uh, Mask Boy? Are you sure he's really human?"
"Stark's strength seems to be even greater than ours! He's simply more of a monster than the monsters!"
Peter was also dazed as he watched, nodding somewhat blankly.
"Mr. Stark's physical strength indeed looks incredibly powerful. As for us..."
Peter looked down at his hands, feeling a bit lost in his heart.
Having awakened his abilities for the first time, he had also tested his own strength.
He believed that no matter who awakened their abilities, they would have the illusion of being invincible.
But this time, he saw someone far more powerful than himself.
To say he wasn't disappointed would be a lie, but it only strengthened his determination to protect the World!
With great power comes great responsibility!
Thinking this, he also looked at Luca with burning eyes.
He believed that Mr. Luca must think so too!!
Gwen silently observed the situation on the battlefield.
Her thoughts were somewhat different from Peter's.

"The Anti-Luca Armor must be put on the agenda!"
