Above New York City
Xiao Han hung suspended above the clouds, his super vision piercing through the atmosphere, locking onto an approaching stealth ship.
Its design was angular, its surface covered in some kind of optical camouflage, but it was useless against Xiao Han's X-ray vision.
"A Kree Empire reconnaissance ship?" he muttered to himself, his brow furrowed.
Just then, the ship's hatch suddenly opened, and a figure slowly flew out—a tall, humanoid creature completely covered in blue armor, with cold red eyes gleaming beneath its helmet.
"Interesting Earthling. I didn't expect there to be someone like you on Earth. Your body is quite unique. Come with me to the Kree Empire." The other's voice came through some kind of amplification device, mechanical and cold.
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes: "I'm sorry, Superman is not for sale."
The Kree Warrior seemed to freeze for a moment, then raised his arm, and an energy cannon instantly materialized: "Then, death."
Zzzt!
A high-energy particle beam tore through the air, directly aimed at Xiao Han's face!
Xiao Han didn't dodge, allowing the energy blast to strike his forehead.
Blinding light erupted, but the next second, his figure slowly emerged from the aftermath of the explosion, completely unharmed.
"Is that all you've got?" He sneered, his eyes suddenly flaring with intense red light.
The Kree Warrior obviously hadn't anticipated this, and the system within his armor went into a frenzy, blaring alarms.
He quickly retreated, simultaneously activating his full-body shield.
But it was already too late.
Zzzt! BOOM!!
Xiao Han's heat vision pierced the Kree Warrior's shield and armor like two crimson spears.
A massive hole was melted through his chest, and the life signs within the armor rapidly faded.
"Im...possible..." The Kree Warrior looked down at his shattered body, his voice faltering.
"Who...are...you..."
"Superman."
Xiao Han replied calmly, then looked up at the Kree ship that was retreating at high speed.
"Trying to run?"
His figure instantly broke the sound barrier, a streak of black lightning hurtling towards the spaceship.
The Kree spaceship's engines roared, trying to escape, but it was futile against Xiao Han's speed.
A heavy punch!
BOOM!!
The spaceship's hull crumpled like paper, and the entire vessel tumbled in space, sparks flying from the internal systems.
Xiao Han floated in front of the ship, arms crossed, coldly observing the panicked Kree inside the cockpit.
"Be more careful in your next life." His voice, transmitted through the vacuum, echoed directly in the Kree's mind.
"Earth is my territory."
The Kree Warrior died, and Xiao Han, through understanding and translating their language, learned that his objective was to obtain the Tesseract.
After reading, he raised his hand, and heat vision cut precisely, completely destroying the ship's engines.
The Kree ship lost power and began to fall towards Earth's atmosphere.
"Jarvis, track the landing point of that ship." Tony's voice suddenly came from the communicator; he had just arrived at the battlefield, his armor hovering not far away.
"We need this gift!"
Xiao Han nodded, watching the ship plummet towards the predetermined area in the Atlantic Ocean.
Then, he turned to Tony: "It seems the Kree Empire is very interested in the Tesseract."
"Is that so? Looks like the Armor Legion needs to be put on the agenda." Tony responded sarcastically.
"But how did they know where the gem is?"
Xiao Han pondered for a moment. "They probably noticed the spatial fluctuations earlier."
He looked at Tony. "We need to prepare ourselves. The Kree Empire won't give up so easily."
Tony's armor faceplate opened, revealing his serious expression. "So, we just pissed off an interstellar empire?"
"Pretty much," Xiao Han shrugged.
"Great." Tony rolled his eyes. "I knew hanging out with you wouldn't be good for me."
Xiao Han chuckled. "Regrets?"
"Ha!" Tony grinned, and his armor faceplate closed again. "Just kidding! This is way more exciting than developing clean energy!"
The two figures hovered above New York, the city lights below resembling a sea of stars.
The threat had already appeared, but at this moment, Xiao Han's eyes held only calm.
"Let's go, Tony." He turned and flew towards Stark Tower. "We still have work to do."
Tony matched his speed, the thrusters of his armor spitting out a blue flame.
"Like what?"
"Like…" Xiao Han's lips curved into a slight smile. "Equipping our armors with an Artificial Sun."
Tony's laughter echoed through the comms channel: "Ha! Now that's what I'm talking about!"
In the night sky, the two figures streaked across the heavens, heading towards Stark Tower.
The miniature prototype of the Artificial Sun hovered above the central experimental platform, emitting a soft golden glow.
Tony Stark stood before a holographic projection, his fingers rapidly swiping through the data streams, a frown etched on his brow.
"Energy output is stable, but the fluctuations in the containment field are still a problem," he muttered to himself, his fingertip lightly tapping a parameter on the projection.
Xiao Han stood to the side, his eyes faintly glowing gold. His super vision penetrated the reactor's casing, observing the plasma flow within.
"The magical resonance frequency of the Uru Metal needs to be adjusted by another 0.3%," he suddenly said, pointing to a node on the hologram.
Tony raised an eyebrow. "You can measure magic with your eyes?"
"Habit," Xiao Han shrugged.
Tony snorted, swiping his finger. The parameters adjusted immediately.
The energy curve on the projection smoothed out instantly, and the fluctuations in the containment field vanished without a trace.
"Perfect!" Tony grinned. "Jarvis, record these values. We'll use them directly next time."
"Recorded, sir," Jarvis replied.
"Excellent. Initiate fusion!"
Several hours later…
Tony whistled, crossing his arms over his chest as he surveyed the two suits of armor suspended in the center of the lab with satisfaction.
"Jarvis, activate demonstration mode."
The laboratory lights dimmed, and two sets of nano-armor slowly rotated in a soft blue glow.
One set was Tony's signature gold and red color scheme, the streamlined armor surface gleaming with metallic luster.
The Artificial Sun core on the chest emitted a faint golden glow, and energy veins flowed through the interior of the armor like blood vessels.
The other set was Xiao Han's exclusive armor, entirely black, with fine golden lines covering the surface, resembling ancient runes.
The "S" shaped emblem on the chest was also powered by an Artificial Sun, but the energy flowed in a more restrained manner.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Tony patted Xiao Han on the shoulder.
"You've added a bit of magic to both sets of armor, and yours... the resonance frequency of the Uru Metal perfectly matches your Bio-Field."
Xiao Han approached his armor and gently touched its surface.
The nano-material immediately flowed like water, automatically conforming to the contours of his fingers.
"Reaction speed is good," Xiao Han nodded slightly. "Energy conduction efficiency is also decent."
"Of course!" Tony raised his chin proudly.
"I've fused Vibranium into the nano-structure, and coupled with the magical properties of Uru Metal, this armor can theoretically withstand high-level energy impacts."
Xiao Han raised an eyebrow: "Theoretically?"
Tony shrugged: "Alright, in reality, it might still be a bit short, but at least it will keep you from damaging it while you're fighting enemies."
"The armor is just for show. When it comes to a real fight, the Bio-Field will protect the armor."
Tony: ...…
