Even though he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Tony Stark knew clearly that he had already lost.
The Anti-Magic armor he had researched for over a hundred days and nights was actually this fragile.
A depressed Tony instructed:
"Jarvis, notify Fury. I can't beat him."
[Sir, look out!]
A blinding beam of red light shot towards him.
At this combat distance of just a few dozen meters.
Tony Stark had absolutely no time to react. Even though the AI Jarvis immediately took forced control of the armor to execute an evasive maneuver...
It was still grazed by the red light.
The Disarming Charm took effect.
The entire Anti-Magic armor automatically disassembled, the various metal components clattering to the floor with a series of clanks and clangs.
Tony Stark, stripped of his armor's protection and reduced back to an ordinary human, stood frozen in place, completely at a loss for what to do.
At the same time, the pale-blue energy shielding layer vanished as well.
Harvey followed up with a Stunning Spell, knocking Tony Stark unconscious.
Luke, Jessica, and the others standing nearby were dumbfounded. The illustrious name of Iron Man was known to everyone; they never expected Wanda's boyfriend to be able to defeat even Iron Man so easily.
Harvey looked up and saw the shocked expressions on Luke and the others' faces, but he didn't care.
He turned his gaze to Natasha.
"Get the fuck out. Don't ever provoke us again!"
Natasha was also incredibly shocked in her heart. She didn't expect Tony Stark to be defeated in a single encounter.
She didn't think it was because Tony was too weak; it was clearly because the enemy was simply too strong.
But on the surface, she remained calm and composed, trying to stall for time.
"Mr. Harvey, are you really going to go to war against S.H.I.E.L.D.? I advise you to realize the error of your ways and turn back. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true strength is not something you can fight against alone..."
Harvey despised S.H.I.E.L.D. from the bottom of his heart.
It's just the Snake Shield Bureau, why should he be afraid?
Heh.
"Sectumsempra!"
He couldn't be bothered to waste any more words. He continuously cast several Sectumsempra curses, slicing all the twenty-plus S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had stormed the first floor of the building clean in half at the waist.
"Splat! Splat! Splat!"
In an instant, intestines, fresh blood, and internal organs spilled all over the floor. The bloody, cruel scene made even Luke and the others unable to bear looking at it.
Jessica couldn't help but complain: "That's too cruel. Even if the government folks aren't exactly good people, you didn't have to take their lives, did you?"
Hearing this, Harvey turned his gaze to Jessica. Is this woman brain-dead?
I step in to help her out, and as a result, I get complained at?
Although Luke was simple-minded, he knew the principle that when facing someone whose fists are bigger than yours, you absolutely must not provoke them lightly.
He pulled his girlfriend back and whispered a warning: "Don't get yourself killed. The strong don't need reasons for what they do!"
Matt was much calmer. Although he also felt that this kind of indiscriminate killing of innocents was vile, he understood the principle of self-preservation even better.
If they were innocent poor people, he might have risked everything to stand up for them.
But as for these S.H.I.E.L.D. guys, having had conflicts with them in his early years, he had absolutely zero goodwill towards the domineering and overbearing S.H.I.E.L.D.
Naturally, he wasn't going to stick his neck out for these guys either.
However, Wanda couldn't stand watching it and spoke up to advise him.
"Darling, let them go. Don't kill anyone else."
She only wanted Harvey to chase these annoying flies from S.H.I.E.L.D. away; she didn't want him to take their lives.
Harvey sneered. He could ignore the opinions of Luke and the others, but he still had to explain himself somewhat to his own woman.
"I'm not bloodthirsty. These people have all harmed innocent lives. Saying they deserve to die is putting it lightly."
"I see," Wanda said in sudden realization.
She had 100% trust in Harvey. After all, there was no need to specifically fabricate a lie to coax her over such a trivial matter.
At this point, the only person left standing on the opposite side was the Black Widow.
The reason she was able to survive was naturally not because she was strong, but because Harvey deliberately spared her life.
Harvey wouldn't easily kill off the main protagonists of this world; after all, a cosmic incursion or a timeline collapse was still a very potent deterrent.
Besides, the Black Widow hadn't provoked him. Killing some Snake Shield Bureau small fry to drive these people away was enough.
He wasn't a brainless villain who enjoyed causing innocent slaughter.
Although killing is the simplest way to solve a problem, the subsequent troubles might be even greater.
Therefore, seeing the Black Widow standing frozen in place with an ugly expression, Harvey said in an icy tone: "What? You want to die here too? Get the fuck out of here!"
The Black Widow knew the disparity in strength was too vast. Even though the tragic deaths of her comrades planted seeds of resentment in her heart...
She didn't even dare to utter a harsh threat, only able to turn and leave silently with heavy steps.
Once the Rand Building returned to silence and everyone calmed down, a thick stench of blood assaulted their noses.
Harvey casually cast 'Scourgify'.
The floor covered in dismembered corpses and blood vanished completely.
The spotlessly clean floor shone as if it had just been waxed.
Having dealt with S.H.I.E.L.D., Harvey, hiding his achievements and fame, was just about to open a portal to take Wanda home.
When a guy wearing a red-and-black skin-tight combat suit, a full-face mask, and two signature katanas on his back, exuding a wild and unrestrained aura...
Walked into the building, followed by a giant standing two meters and thirty centimeters tall, his entire muscular body radiating a silver-gray metallic sheen.
As this big guy walked, every step produced a heavy, dull thud. Combined with his massive physique, it felt as if a moving fortress was walking towards them.
These two were Deadpool and Colossus from the X-Men.
At this moment, Deadpool seemed to be in a very good mood. Skipping forward like a little girl on a field trip, he said in a light, cheerful tone:
"I knew I was going to strike it rich today! One mission and I'm making a cool two million bucks."
"But this bounty doesn't even come close to matching the household name of the X-Men!"
"Big guy, next mission we gotta talk to the Professor about raising the X-Men's asking price. That Black Egghead clearly isn't a good bird, we should fleece him hard..."
Deadpool kept running his mouth while looking around.
When he saw Wanda, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but whistle.
"Oh oh oh~ This chick is absolutely banging! The northern hemisphere is even packing a pair of meatballs the size of watermelons. Blonde, big boobs, she's got it all. Just wonder if she's a freak in the sheets!"
"Hey gorgeous, wanna grab a drink later? I am the illustrious Lord Deadpool!"
"I'm willing to waste a precious night to give you a thoroughly satisfying high-five..."
Being scanned by Deadpool's unbridled gaze made Wanda's hair stand on end. With a dark expression, she asked, "Where did this foul-mouthed freak come from?"
Colossus hurriedly reached out a steel arm the size of a palm-leaf fan, pushing the constantly blabbering Deadpool behind him.
"Listen, Wade. We are here on a mission, not to pick up girls."
Immediately following that, he looked towards Harvey opposite them.
"Hey, you over there. Are you the sorcerer named Harvey?"
At this moment, Harvey's mind was in total chaos, his thoughts spinning wildly; he had absolutely no desire to respond.
He never expected to see the X-Men in this world.
Isn't this the motherfucking Marvel Cinematic Universe?
How did the X-Men crash the party?
This isn't scientific! And it isn't magical either!
