Rhodey was trapped inside War Machine, unable to control himself. The only thing he could do was warn Spider-Man: "Careful, data shows missiles are about to launch."
"Understood, Mr. Rhodey."
Spider-Man immediately used his web to stick to an iron cover, forcefully flinging it at the incoming missiles. With a boom, the missiles exploded. Rhodey said with satisfaction, "Good job, kid. Careful, the machine gun is activating."
Spider-Man, while firing web fluid to jam War Machine's machine gun, complained, "Why does this feel like cheating?"
"Barbarian, your trap was really good. I lost three hairs."
"Tony Stark, you're the dirtiest, most disgusting bug I've ever seen..."
The battle between Iron Man and Ivan was extremely fierce—uh, referring to their curses. The two fought while cursing at each other, from the grievances of the previous generation to the hatred of this generation. Tony's sharp tongue and Ivan's vulgarity were both master-level.
To be honest, Tony was a bit depressed. Why did he have to understand Russian? If he didn't understand, many words could be automatically filtered out.
Iron Monger punched Wade flying, then urgently shouted to Ivan through internal communication: "Obadiah, we can't go on like this. S.H.I.E.L.D. is behind Iron Man. Time is on his side."
"Obadiah, fly up."
Ivan snorted coldly, abandoned his opponent, and flew upwards. Iron Man was about to give chase when War Machine abandoned Spider-Man and embraced him again from behind. Tony cursed, "Again?"
At the same time, the remaining several drone suits all raised their right fists. Immediately after, their fists detached from their bodies like cannonballs, trailing chains that wrapped around Psylocke and the X-Men.
"Careful, something's strange."
Psylocke backhanded a blade, severing the chain, and shouted to the others. No one dared to be slow, all dodging the drone suits' chains, but Colossus, Wade, and Cyclops were a little slow to react and got entangled by the chains.
Immediately after, the Arc Reactor on the chests of War Machine and all the drone suits simultaneously lit up red, as if a bomb was counting down, even the damaged drone suits were no exception.
Tony's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Careful, those Arc Reactors will explode very soon."
While speaking, Tony broke free from War Machine's restraint and had Jarvis fully crack War Machine's system—before, Tony had placed a small device, a miniature cracker, on War Machine.
War Machine, under Ivan's control, frantically lunged at Tony. Rhodey said with a wry smile, "Tony, don't worry about me, just run."
Tony shouted, "What are you talking about? You haven't repaid the money you owe me, how can you die?"
Rhodey rolled his eyes and said, "I think I'd rather die. Besides, I owe money to your family's bank, not your money. To be precise, that's called a loan."
"You tampered with the Arc Reactor?"
Obadiah flew into the sky and asked Ivan, full of doubt, "Don't tell me the Arc Reactor on Iron Monger will also explode?"
"Don't mind the details, those who mind the details are idiots."
Ivan, while shooting at Tony in the sky, shouted, "What we should do now is stop them from escaping."
"Aren't those who don't mind the details the idiots?"
Obadiah cursed. If he wasn't mistaken, the batch of Arc Reactors given to the organization also had problems. This Ivan guy was definitely a bastard.
Despite his curses, Obadiah didn't lose his temper at this moment. He raised his gun and frantically strafed the X-Men.
"Jean, you go first."
Cyclops, while using his laser to destroy the chains, shouted. Jean naturally wouldn't abandon Cyclops and used her telekinesis to throw the drone suit wreckage on the ground far away.
"Psylocke, help Colossus. I'll take you guys out of here."
Storm's eyes rolled back, and strong winds rose around her, even deflecting bullets.
"I don't need your help."
Psylocke rushed over and severed the chain in front of Colossus with a single slash. Then, she forcefully threw her katana towards a distant building. A purple energy rope was attached to the back of the katana, and as the rope retracted, she quickly flew into the sky.
"So cool."
Spider-Man praised, landing beside Wade and shouting, "I'll save you."
Wade lay on the ground, striking a rather sexy... uh, disgusting pose, and said, "My brother in matching outfits, you go on ahead. Don't worry about me."
"Matching outfits?"
Spider-Man's face darkened a bit. He stepped forward and grabbed Wade, preparing to forcibly take him away, but was kicked away by Wade.
Then, Wade cursed, "Hurry up and scram! I want to collect the Stark Industries's pension! Ms. Pepper is super generous, even Iron Man is living off her."
Iron Man's face also darkened a bit. This was the worst I've ever been slandered.
"Spider-Man, don't mind Wade. He won't die. His healing factor is super unscientific, he can't die no matter what."
Colossus shouted. At the same time, he, Cyclops, and Jean all flew into the sky, enveloped by the strong winds.
"Go on, I'm popular, I won't die. But you, be careful of being replaced, Spider-Man isn't the only one, my matching outfit buddy."
Wade chuckled. Spider-Man scratched his head, turned, and shot a web to escape into the distance.
At this moment, War Machine's system was finally cracked by Iron Man. He controlled War Machine to disassemble, and he himself pulled Rhodey into the sky. Ivan and Obadiah cursed and fled into the distance.
"An unexpected gain."
Andrew smiled, pulling the warehouse staff and surrounding civilians into an illusion—the warehouse's location was relatively remote, so the number of people wasn't too many, only a few thousand.
These people had discovered the battle there early on, and most chose to sign contracts. Andrew teleported a batch of robots over and quickly fled with the contractors.
The next second, boom, boom... thirty drone suits plus one War Machine simultaneously exploded. Flames and black smoke shot into the sky, the entire world shook, Hammer Industries' warehouse was instantly leveled, and surrounding buildings were swept away by the air blast.
Iron Man and the X-Men didn't fly far enough and were all blown away by the air blast. Fortunately, no one died, at most they were injured.
What, Wade? Of course he didn't die. When he flew up, he even yawned in the air, thinking about what gift to buy his wife.
"A bunch of tough-lifed bugs."
Ivan scanned and cursed unhappily. He was about to continue bothering Iron Man when Obadiah stopped him and said, "Go to Manhattan. We have allies there. We'll deal with Iron Man there."
"Let's go."
Ivan hesitated, then flew rapidly towards Manhattan with Obadiah. Tony placed Rhodey on the rooftop, gave a few instructions, and then chased after them. Those two guys had to die.
"Take me with you, you can't fight both of them alone."
Psylocke wrapped Tony's leg with an energy rope and shouted. Tony was a bit moved, but at that moment, Psylocke added, "It doesn't matter if you die, the crucial thing is, it will prevent me from getting paid."
Tony rolled his eyes. Give me back my move!
It's worth mentioning that Psylocke's psionic energy could protect her, so she wasn't afraid of the head-on strong winds.
