Where had Tony gone during the time he was missing?
Obadiah did not know.
But now that Tony had returned, none of that mattered. They had to deal with that competitor!
Tony's return meant that everything would once again return to a game dominated by innovation and competition.
Only now did Tony learn about their competitor.
"War God Industries? What a cliché name. Just like the big villain in some third-rate story, always trying to conquer the world by force..."
Tony rambled on with his complaints as he sat in the spacious office, a detailed report on War God Industries laid out before him.
At first, he had assumed it was merely a small, emerging military contractor trying to attract attention with novel but insubstantial products.
However, when he turned to the product introduction page, his expression immediately grew grave.
"Power Armor?!"
Tony repeated the term in disbelief, his gaze darting back and forth between the pictures and the written descriptions as if he could not believe his own eyes.
"How... how is this possible?!"
It was a set of equipment unlike anything seen before. It was neither a new missile nor a new fighter jet, but a type of "Power Armor" that could completely transform the nature of warfare—the "Humanoid Tank" Power Armor.
Power Armor was not an entirely unfamiliar concept. It resembled a powered exoskeleton, but was far more complex and powerful.
It not only had to greatly enhance the wearer's strength, speed, and endurance, but also needed exceptional protection, the ability to function in extreme environments, and integrated military functions such as fire support, communications, reconnaissance, and detection.
Yet due to technological bottlenecks and the limits of materials science, it had never achieved a breakthrough.
And now, War God Industries had actually turned this concept into reality
