Tony's Enhancement and the Death God's Dagger

Just as Charlotte and Ginny were communicating, a roaring sound of flying overhead came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw Tony standing before them in his Iron Man Armor.

With Tony's skillful maneuvering, they quickly landed on the grass nearby.

After landing, Tony patted the Arc Reactor on his chest, and the armor automatically opened the next second. Tony stepped out, while the Iron Man Armor remained in place.

Tony approached Charlotte and chuckled, "Dude, looks like I've come at the perfect time. You guys are having a party, huh?"

Charlotte patted Tony on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The party's just started, you've picked a great time."

Tony glanced at Ginny and Tsunade beside Charlotte, put his arm around Charlotte's shoulder, and said to them, "Sorry, I need to borrow your men for a bit. It won't be long."

After saying that, Tony pulled Charlotte out to the Beverage Area. Tony grabbed a glass of whiskey, took a sip, and said, "Dude, didn't I just take you out of that hellhole?"

Charlotte looked at Tony and shook her head, saying, "Tony, what brings you here today?"

Charlotte knew that Tony wouldn't have come without a reason; there must be something he wanted to say.

Tony looked at Charlotte, paused for a moment, and then said after a few seconds, "I heard you sell a Physical Enhancement Serum similar to the Super Soldier Serum?"

Upon hearing Tony mention the Physical Enhancement Serum, Charlotte looked at him with some surprise, not expecting that Tony, Iron Man, would also be interested in this stuff.

"Yes, it is for sale. S.H.I.E.L.D.. bought a copy from me."

"What, you, Iron Man, are interested in this stuff?"

Tony looked at Charlotte and said, "I'm interested in anything that can enhance my strength."

Charlotte thought for a moment and realized that Tony might have learned from the war in the Magic World that when energy is depleted and ammunition is used up, war ultimately comes down to a contest of physical strength and melee weapons.

"Ten of the new energy sources you develop will be enough to take it away."

Upon hearing Charlotte's price, Tony immediately pulled a box from his suit pocket, inside which were 10 New Element.

Looking at what Tony casually pulled out, Charlotte asked in surprise, "How did you guess the price?"

Tony laughed and said, "Feel!"

Actually, Tony had the same box in his other pocket.

Charlotte took out the Physical Enhancement Serum directly from her Storage Space and handed it to Tony.

"Dude, your storage capacity is truly enviable."

Charlotte smiled and said, "I believe you will be able to develop similar technology in the future."

Tony, holding the potion, looked at Charlotte and asked, "How do you use this? Is it injected or..."

"It's for oral use. You can drink it directly, then rest overnight, and you'll be able to adapt to your new self."

Tony, holding the Physical Enhancement Serum in his hand, chuckled, "This is truly a very convenient method."

"Do you sell this here openly?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "You can't buy it with money. There are very few people who can provide what I need."

"However, S.H.I.E.L.D.. is one."

Then, as if she had thought of something, Charlotte said, "You could consider upgrading the metal in your Mark Armor."

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. came over last time to try and sell me their Adamantium and Secondary Adamantium, saying they have excellent performance. You could buy some for yourself."

Upon hearing Charlotte mention metal, Tony cursed, "Shit, these guys actually got their hands on top-secret military materials."

Tony was familiar with this material, but the reason it wasn't used in his Mark Series was that the military simply wouldn't sell it. He hadn't expected that S.H.I.E.L.D.. also had this metal.

Thinking of the shield his father had once forged, which contained a mixture of Vibranium and Adamantium.

Charlotte shrugged and chuckled, "I don't know how they got their hands on it, but I heard it's priced at $100,000 per gram. Considering the weight of your Mark Series armor, the cost for one suit of armor must be quite high."

"They're robbing us, how could it be $100,000 a gram?"

If we were to proceed at that price, his Mark Series would weigh anywhere from tens to hundreds of kilograms. Even with his wealth, he couldn't possibly manufacture just a few suits of armor.

Charlotte laughed, "They're practically robbing us! You know, even robbing a bank isn't as fast as this."

Tony glanced at the Physical Enhancement Serum in his hand, then at the Mark Armor lying not far away, and said, "I won't disturb your banquet any longer. I need to try and acquire a batch of Adamantium from S.H.I.E.L.D..."

After speaking, Tony walked towards his Mark Armor, quickly put it on, activated it, and flew off into the distance.

As Tony took off and left, Charlotte heard Ginny's voice beside her. "That guy's gone?"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

The two then walked towards the center of the banquet, and Charlotte glanced at where Tsunade was.

At this moment, Tsunade gathered Orochimaru together, and it was unclear what they were talking about.

Orochimaru glanced at the gathering in front of him and said with a smile, "Do you think that idiot Jiraiya will get along well with that guy Tony after he comes?"

"I've heard Tony's a total Playboy, which is totally Jiraiya's type."

Upon hearing Orochimaru mention Jiraiya, Tsunade nodded and said, "After that guy came here, he probably thought this place was paradise."

Imagining Jiraiya and Tony hanging out together with their arms around each other, Tsunade shook her head and continued, "That's not exactly a well-behaved guy."

Orochimaru smiled but did not speak.

On the other side.

Jane was outside a morgue when the staff members nearby came over after discussing something.

"Miss Jane."

Jane looked at the morgue door, her eyes vacant, and said nothing.

"Miss Jane, do you think you're capable of doing this?"

Hearing the other person call her name a second time, Jane finally snapped out of her daze, "Excuse me, what?"

"We need your help to identify the body."

There were five bodies in the morgue at that moment, all of them placed in body bags and neatly arranged in the room.

Suddenly one of the corpses sat up, saw that it was stuffed into a bag, and immediately began to struggle violently.

This person was none other than Nick, who died in the plane crash.

Nick struggled to open the bag, sat on the morgue table panting, and looked around at his surroundings with a blank expression.

Suddenly he noticed a name tag tied to his toe. He lifted his foot and took it off, and it read 'Anonymous'.

Nick put down the nameplate and suddenly felt someone beside him. He turned around and saw Vail, whom he had killed. He was so startled that he jumped off the morgue and knocked over the tool rack next to him.

Nick assumed a defensive stance, looked at his opponent, and said, "Vail."

Vail: "Hey, buddy!"

Hearing his comrade greet him, Nick said, "You scared me to death!"

"We need to talk, Nick."

Nick glanced around and then asked, "What happened?"

Vail said expressionlessly, "You know what happened."

After thinking for a moment, Nick asked in surprise, "Am I dead?"

Vail looked at Nick and said:

"Die?"

"No."

"But you would wish you were dead."

Hearing Vail's words, Nick was somewhat taken aback, trying to recall their meaning.

At that moment, the morgue door opened, and two staff members led Jane in, saying as they walked:

"Please come this way."

The three who had just entered were stunned to see Nick standing there, and Jane exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh my God! Nick."

Nick turned around and saw the person who had come in, calling out her name: "Jane."

He then turned to look at Vail, but found that Vail had disappeared and he saw his own naked body instead.

"Oh!"

Nick gasped, immediately covering his face with his hands and crouching back, hiding behind the morgue, shouting:

"What happened?"

Where am I?

Who's responsible for this?

A staff member who entered raised his hand and said, "I'm in charge here."

After explaining his identity and the situation, Nick put on his clothes and left the morgue with Jane.

······

On the other side.

The search and rescue operation for the aircraft and the search for debris continued at this time.

"Base, Search and Rescue Team One calling."

"This place looks like the remains of a wreck, scattered throughout the woods within a 4-kilometer radius."

"Proceed to Aylesford Wharf immediately and await orders."

At this moment, the search and rescue team arrived at the scene. A staff member looked at the scene before him and said, "The dock is damaged. It looks like a part from an airplane wing, and there's also a turbine."

"A few miles from the main crash site, over."

"Repeat, Search and Rescue Team One, received."

Two members of the search and rescue team entered the woods and began to examine the scene.

One of the search and rescue team members, holding a searchlight, quickly made a discovery. "A body has been found. No obvious signs of life. Standby."

"Casualty assessment, death confirmed."

"Please dispatch paramedics to the scene. Over."

At that moment, a voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Received, Search and Rescue Team One."

"Rescue workers are on the scene."

Another search and rescuer headed deeper into the woods and soon arrived at the location of the original Egypt Stone Coffin.

The Egypt Stone Coffin had already been removed, leaving only a withered corpse, surrounded by a large number of Crow.

Upon seeing the body, the search and rescue team shooed away the Crow with their hands, then approached it. Since it was already night, the search and rescue team shone their lights on the withered corpse and moved closer themselves.

"My God, what is this?"

After glancing at it a few times and not understanding what it was, he turned and shouted in the direction of another search and rescue worker, "Hey! You'd better come in and take a look..."

The moment he turned to speak, the withered stone on the ground suddenly moved, reached out a palm, grabbed him, and instantly sucked him dry.

The other person's shouts also attracted another search and rescue worker.

"Alan, what's wrong?"

"Alan?"

As the second rescuer approached, he immediately followed in the footsteps of the first, being grabbed and sucked dry until he was a dried-up corpse.

With the help of the two rescuers replenishing her blood and energy, Ahmanet, who had long since dried up, regained some flesh and blood and regained her ability to move.

"Stand up!"

With a whisper from Ahmanet, the two search and rescue team members he had drained rose to their feet like zombies and became her subordinates.

Unbeknownst to Ahmanet, a Shadow Clone of Itachi Uchiha stood atop a treetop, observing everything that was happening in the forest.

"So this is why I sensed the Genjutsu fluctuations back then?"

······

On the other side.

Jane took Nick to a bar, and she was also very curious about Nick's change.

At that moment, a news report was playing on the bar's television, "A U. S. military aircraft crashed in Sari tonight, narrowly missing Waverley Abbey."

Jane looked at Nick, who was drinking heavily, and asked incredulously, "How did you escape from the plane?"

"You're completely unharmed."

Nick held the bar in both hands, clearly bewildered and completely unaware of what had happened to him.

Nick didn't know how to answer the question and continued to gulp down his drink.

Jane looked at the other person and said, "Thank you!"

Nick asked, puzzled, "Why?"

You saved my life.

Nick picked up a new glass filled with wine, then looked at Jane and said, "You'll do the same for me."

After saying that, he continued to pour the wine into his mouth.

Just as Nick put down his glass, Vail reappeared before him, calling his name.

Nick closed his eyes, thinking it was his imagination.

At this moment, Jane spoke up, "Nick, I think you should know something about this."

"You know, I'm working with a group of archaeologists."

Nick nodded and said, "I know, um."

"We've drawn a conclusion that an Egypt princess was intentionally erased from history books."

"We've been looking for something called the ' Dagger of Set '."

"It was a ceremonial dagger with a huge Gem on its handle; Set was the Egypt Death God of death."

"Legend has it that when the dagger and the Gem are combined, it will grant Set supernatural power."

"I believe he must be hiding here, in Europe, stolen by the Crusaders centuries ago."

"I found its reference in a Crusader's manuscript, which hinted that the dagger had been broken and the Gem was buried somewhere in the United Kingdom with the knight."

"A huge Crusader Tomb was recently discovered in London, and we are pretty sure the Gem are there."

"That tomb is the clue we found to Ahmanet."
