Your Damn Tenderness

With the Space Stone added to the Armor, Tony still has many functions to explore, while Xia Yu wants to test its attack power first.

Tony didn't stand on ceremony with Xia Yu and immediately transformed the Armor on his right hand into the shape of a wolf's head.

Inside the wolf's head were rings of sharp teeth, and between the upper and lower teeth flashed streaks of energy Flash, much like the saliva on the teeth of a hungry wolf.

With a slight charge, an energy blast shot out from the wolf's mouth.

Xia Yu did not use Aether as a defense, but stood still without dodging or avoiding, actually intending to take the blow with his bare body.

With his eyes half-closed, Xia Yu carefully sensed the energy blast.

Xia Yu was quite familiar with the energy of the Infinity Stones. As the Space Stone, its energy was not as violent as the Power Stone, nor as magical as the Mind Stone. Compared to its influence on the rules of space, it was actually more suitable for defense.

However, even considering only the Infinity Stones themselves, as energy weapons, each Infinity Stones is an incredibly powerful entity in the universe; the mere fact that it possesses limitless energy is already extremely impressive.

In theory, as long as your output materials can withstand the strain, you can adjust the size of the shells indefinitely to output whatever you want.

When Xia Yu built the Avengers Ship, he used Uru Metal as an energy output conduit, but its power was not satisfactory, especially after Xia Yu became increasingly powerful.

However, when combined with the Dwarves enchanting techniques, it's definitely not as simple as 1+1=2.

Xia Yu was about several hundred meters away from Tony at this moment. The moment the Energy Cannon was fired, it was almost at Xia Yu's chest.

"Bang!"

The moment the energy struck, Xia Yu completely withdrew all energy from his body, even suppressing his instinctive energy mobilization for defense.

Xia Yu was violently thrown dozens of meters away.

He slammed his Xia Yu hard onto a control panel behind him, leaving a small dent on the panel made of an unknown metal.

It has to be said that its power is quite impressive. Xia Yu had previously tested Tony's old Armor, and even with Xia Yu completely removing all of his body's defenses, the full output of Tony's chest reactor had roughly the same effect as before.

That's Tony's strongest ranged energy attack; after one, his chest needs a cooldown period before he can unleash the next attack.

"How many?"

Xia Yu stood up, dusted himself off, and asked Tony in the distance.

"It should be less than 10%, but we'll need to go all out to test it out; I'm not sure what its maximum is."

Tony was very satisfied with the condition of the Armor. Thanks to his ingenious design, he could even hurt Thor in close combat. However, it wasn't his preferred fighting style, and he lacked a powerful offensive stance.

In close combat, opponents rely on physical strength, while he relies on Armor and energy. Against someone like Thor Hulk who can fight you for an entire day, he simply can't outlast him.

Now that he has attained Godhood and resolved his physical issues, coupled with his modified Nano Armor, especially the Space Stone and Eitri's enchanted Uru Metal, he can now excel in both close and long-range combat. Whether dealing with large groups of enemies or facing high-level opponents, he can fight alone or in teamwork from any angle.

This is Tony's strategy for both the Avengers and himself, to make up for weaknesses.

Seeing Tony's eagerness to try it out, Xia Yu couldn't help but want to test just how much energy this suit of Armor could produce.

"Come on, Tony, try hitting me with all your might."

"Full power? To be honest, my friend, I'm not even sure how much power he'd have at full strength. Why don't you put on your Armor or make a shield out of Aether or something?"

Tony knew the power of the Aether; in Xia Yu's hands, they were almost an invincible defense, and when transformed into weapons, they were indestructible.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. I'm more powerful than you think. Don't mistake me for Thor, the God of Hammers."

Xia Yu proudly raised his head, using Thor as a foil to highlight his awesomeness.

Seeing Xia Yu's confident demeanor, Tony didn't say much. This time, he didn't even need to use his arms; instead, a blue light shone directly from his chest.

The light grew brighter and brighter, but Tony remained silent until an alarm sounded from his helmet indicating an abnormally high temperature. Only then did Tony shrug, and part of his Armor detached from his body, automatically transforming into six huge, arc-shaped energy emitters that silently emitted blue light and floated in mid-air.

Half a second later, six arc-shaped emitters fired blue energy beams from different angles, which met the energy emitted by the Infinity Stones on Tony's chest.

The seven energy beams merged into one and shot violently toward Xia Yu.

"#%￥..."

When his chest lit up just now, Xia Yu was thinking that he would need to use the energy in his body to tough it out this time.

But when the two arc-shaped launchers appeared, Xia Yu was already cursing silently in his heart.

By the time the seven strands merged into one, Xia Yu only had time to utter a single word starting with "F" before the energy surged towards him.

It was too late for the Aether to transform into Armor to cover his entire body; they could only instantly transform into a large shield, enveloping Xia Yu's entire body.

The power of the Aether does not lie entirely in its indestructible nature as Infinity Stones, but rather in the fact that the Aether is originally the earliest nanoscale form in the universe.

When defending, it can continuously fluctuate at the molecular level to adjust and dissipate the impact force; when used as a weapon, its surface can form high-frequency vibrations to achieve the effect of cutting through everything.

Tony's attack caused the Aether to begin vibrating and deforming wildly on the shield's surface at maximum power, even so.

The immense impact still sent Xia Yu and his shield staggering back more than twenty meters, Xia Yu feet dragging two deep furrows into the metal ground.

The intense friction destroyed Xia Yu's shoes, and when everything quieted down, Xia Yu's toes were deeply embedded in the metal of the ground.

"Damn it, seven energy beams combined into one? How did you even come up with that? Are you Calabash Brothers?"

While cursing, Xia Yu forcefully pulled his feet off the ground.

Tony hadn't expected it to be so powerful, and he immediately piloted his Armor towards Xia Yu.

Once Tony saw that Xia Yu was unharmed, he burst into laughter.

"Great Yu Shen, what happened to you? You've lost your shoes. Who was it that said you didn't need any protection?"

Tony laughed with immense pride, his Armor trembling with Tony laugh.

Xia Yu glanced at the smug Tony, then expressionlessly raised his hand and offered him the middle finger.

Unexpectedly, Tony suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Yu's hand that was pointing his middle finger, pulled Xia Yu close, and gave Xia Yu a big hug.

"Now I don't have to hide behind you anymore. Next time something happens, you have to call me. We can fight side by side again, my brother!"

Tony Stark rarely spoke these words so seriously. This sudden, almost bromantic, declaration of love filled Xia Yu with emotion.

I was touched, but I couldn't help feeling a bit cheesy.

Tony, still clad in his Armor, was frantically slapping Xia Yu's back, and Xia Yu rolled his eyes.

"Tony, you damn, this sudden tenderness!"
