Solving Abomination

"Did you actually make Iron Man Armor?"

Natasha stared in disbelief. Trish and Jessica were equally stunned as they looked at Wang Bert. They all knew their Master was capable, but they had never imagined he was this capable! In fact, everyone witnessing this scene was shocked. No one could have imagined that the half-crippled Osborn Corporation had managed to create armor. Everyone who had once mocked Osborn Corporation had been slapped hard across the face!

Wang Bert laughed loudly. "That's right. Osborn Corporation successfully developed Iron Man Armor in only three months, not the ten years certain someone claimed it would take!"

As he said this, Wang Bert kept looking at Tony, his eyes full of mockery! Tony shouted, "Impossible! The Arc Reactors in their chests must be fake. Bert, are you using LED lights to fool people? I get it now—you want to drive up the stock price this way!"

Wang Bert looked at him with disdain. "You think I'm like you, fake all over?"

Tony snapped, "What part of me is fake?"

"Your Iron Man Armor has height lifts in the feet, right? And your backside is padded too, isn't it?"

Wang Bert said disdainfully, "You're asking me what part of you is fake? Your whole body is fake!"

The moment he said that, all four women present looked at Tony with contempt. Height lifts were one thing, but he even padded his backside? What kind of person was he? Tony's face turned bright red with anger, but he had no way to refute it, because he really had faked it! While Wang Bert was mocking Tony, the battle below had already begun. Abomination had never been one for words. Seeing the three men charging at him aggressively, he immediately rushed toward them, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground!

"I like your personality!"

Ivan laughed loudly, activated the thrusters on the back of his armor, and smashed head-on into Abomination. With a bang, the ground beneath them caved in, and a powerful Shockwave howled outward. Several nearby buildings that had already been on the verge of collapse came crashing down!

Ivan lost that collision. His armor was not as strong as Abomination, and he was sent sliding backward, carving two deep trenches into the ground! Abomination laughed and was about to attack again when Frank fired a large sniper rifle from afar. Sensing danger, Abomination raised an arm to block, only for the bullet to punch through it. Still carrying momentum, it entered his chest before being stopped by his Rib!

This was the most serious injury Abomination had suffered so far. He roared and lunged at Frank, but Ivan rushed forward and swung his massive axe down viciously.

Abomination threw a punch that blasted the air apart, but the axe hacked deeply into his fist. If he had not noticed something was wrong and kicked Ivan in the chest, he might have lost his fist entirely!

Before Abomination could figure out what had happened, intense pain came from his back. Mercury had somehow slipped behind him and driven two daggers viciously into his back!

Abomination roared and reached backward to grab Mercury, but she had already retreated the instant she struck, perfectly demonstrating what an assassin was!

The three of them working together had heavily wounded Abomination in just one exchange. Although he could heal himself, self-healing took time. Before he could fully recover, Ivan and the other two attacked again! The previously imposing Abomination was immediately thrown into a miserable state. Once Hulk and Electro joined the battle, Abomination's defeat was only a matter of time! One-on-one, Abomination feared no one, but this was one against five. How could he not be crushed?

These people had no sense of honor at all! "Vibranium bullets, a Vibranium axe, Vibranium daggers... just how much Vibranium do you have?"

Tony said sourly. If he had Vibranium weapons too, he would never have been so humiliated earlier! "If you're unhappy, go buy some yourself!"

Wang Bert snorted. "Abomination's defense is still too strong. Otherwise, the bullet should have pierced through his body, and the axe should have cut off his fist!"

"That's already impressive enough. Even my missiles barely hurt him!"

Thinking of something, Tony shouted, "Wait, Bert! I own the Arc Reactor. You can sue for copying me!"

Wang Bert glanced at Tony and said, "The Arc Reactor was created by your father Howard and Anton Vanko together. Their signatures are on the design blueprints. If you don't accept that, I can take you to court."

Tony shook his head. "Anton Vanko? Never heard of him!"

Wang Bert took out his personal phone, sent a photo to Tony's phone, and said, "I'll tell you the details later. The one carrying the axe is Ivan Vanko. If your father hadn't driven Anton out of America back then, he would have become another you!"

"Impossible. There's only one Tony Stark in this world!"

Tony scoffed. Looking at the photo Jarvis projected, he frowned. "Even if this Anton Vanko was also one of the Arc Reactor's designers, ownership of the Arc Reactor still belongs to Stark Industries!"

Wang Bert sighed. "Tony, do you think you can fight me and the entire military?"

Tony stared in shock. "The military? You're selling the armor to the military?"

"Of course. Why else would I research it? To treat it as a private toy like you do?"

Wang Bert sneered. "If I hadn't set my business phone to airplane mode, it would have been ringing off the hook by now!"

Tony was deeply displeased, feeling as though he had been betrayed. He shouted, "Bert Wang, are you joining the military to steal my property?"

"I told you, it was created by two people together!"

Wang Bert said impatiently, "Forget it. You're so petty. I'll give you a little compensation!"

"You think I'm short on money?"

"You may not be short on money, but are you short on life?"

Wang Bert said, "No element on Earth can replace palladium. However, Ivan has already thought of a way to isolate the toxins. Afterward, I'll have him give you the method!"

"My situation is different! And I don't need anyone else's help!"

Tony said. Wang Bert could not be bothered to argue. He waved a hand toward Tony, and the wound on Tony's forehead suddenly split open. Then, a stream of blood sprayed out!

Tony shouted in shock and anger, "Bert Wang, what are you doing?"

"Look at the ground yourself!"

Tony froze. He lowered his helmet and scanned the ground, then stood there dumbfounded. That stream of blood actually contained countless iron fragments!

"You removed all the iron fragments from my body? That was that easy?"

Tony was stunned. If he had known it would be so easy, why had he been acting as if he were dying? He could have just asked this guy for help! A few days ago, after learning that no element could replace palladium, he had even prepared himself for death. Yet the solution had turned out to be so simple. What the hell was this?

Tony was a little overwhelmed and a little dejected. He realized that perhaps he was not as incredible as everyone claimed! Wang Bert said, "It really was that simple. I wanted to remove them when I went to your house last time, but you were acting so full of yourself that I thought it would be better for you to learn a lesson first!"

"So I'm supposed to thank you?"

Tony said angrily. Wang Bert shrugged, picked up his phone, and typed. A line of text immediately appeared on Tony's screen!

"Your father Howard left some belongings at S.H.I.E.L.D. There are clues about a New Element among them. Don't ask me how I know. I won't admit I said this!"

Tony looked at Wang Bert in surprise. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Bring that Vanko to Stark Industries tomorrow. We'll discuss the ownership of the Arc Reactor properly!"

"Alright!"

Wang Bert nodded. In fact, whether Tony gave in or not, Wang Bert could still use the Arc Reactor, because the military and Washington would definitely stand on his side. The only difference was that Wang Bert would have to give up more benefits, nothing more!

While Wang Bert and Tony were talking, the battle below had already been decided!

Amid the ruins, Abomination knelt on the ground covered in blood. Aside from all manner of wounds, he had two holes blasted through him by Vibranium bullets. None of them had healed, which meant his stamina was nearing its limit!

Abomination possessed incredible endurance, but self-healing required a tremendous amount of stamina! "You are the strongest enemy I've ever faced! You deserve my respect!"

Ivan said, panting heavily. The battle just now had severely damaged his armor. Abomination truly was powerful.

Compared to Ivan, Frank and Mercury were in much better condition. Electro had not been injured at all, his speed was simply too fast. As for Hulk, although he had suffered quite a few injuries, they had all healed by now.

"I won't die here. I still have to keep fighting. I have to become the strongest."

Abomination gritted his teeth and stood up. Then he turned and staggered away into the distance. Hulk wanted to pursue him, but Ivan and the other four surrounded him. Hulk was full of question marks, roaring furiously in anger and confusion! Weren't they allies just now? At the same time, a streak of blood-red light suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of the fleeing Abomination. It was Wang Bert, holding a Vibranium Spear!

Wang Bert pointed the Vibranium Spear at Abomination and shouted, "Two choices. Surrender, or die!"

"Vampire, he belongs to the military! You are not allowed to touch him!"

General Ross shouted from the helicopter. What he did not know was that Trish was recording this scene with her phone. She sneered inwardly. Just as Master predicted. This time, it'll be impossible not to make major news!

"I will never surrender!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Abomination continued charging at Wang Bert. Wang Bert snorted coldly, and dazzling red light flared across his body as he darted forward like a red bolt of lightning! Then the red light flashed. Figures of Wang Bert appeared in the air, on the ground, to the left, and to the right at the same time. Abomination stared in disbelief. How could he be so fast?

Just then, Wang Bert's real body appeared behind Abomination. He hurled the red-glowing spear with all his strength, and it pierced through Abomination's heart with the sound of a Dragon Roar, viciously pinning him to the street! Abomination roared in agony and struggled with all his strength, trying to free himself. His heart was full of unwillingness. If he had not been seriously injured, he would never have been defeated so easily.

Abomination's willpower was worthy of respect, but his actions were doomed to be futile. A great amount of blood surged from within the shaft of the Vibranium Spear, wildly drilling into and destroying Abomination's heart. Abomination opened his mouth and spat out blood as his enormous body collapsed helplessly to its knees!

Emil Blonsky, who never surrendered, officially died here! However, Abomination was not truly dead. A drop of Wang Bert's blood fused into Abomination's body, turning him into a Vampire! If Abomination had been unharmed, one drop of blood could never have turned him into a Vampire. But he was now on the verge of death, and his body instinctively seized this last chance to survive. One drop of blood was enough! As for what use Vampire Abomination would have, that would be explained later! Seeing Wang Bert kill Abomination in an instant, everyone present was stunned. They all knew just how strong Abomination was! "Master really is the strongest!"

Trish cheered. Even Jessica had to admit that this bastard Master was extraordinarily powerful, though he was still a Blackheart bastard!

Electro and the others were applauding too. They had known Wang Bert was strong before, but they had never expected him to be this strong! As for Chief George, General Ross, and the others, they were all dumbfounded. Was there any justice left in the world? It was one thing for that guy to be rich, but he was this powerful too?

"He just has a good weapon. I'll go buy Vibranium too!"

Tony muttered sourly. What he did not know was that Vibranium could no longer be bought on the black market!

"Emil Blonsky, I will build you a grave. You were a true warrior!"

Wang Bert pulled the Vibranium Spear out of Abomination's body from behind. Then, carrying the spear stained with green blood, he turned and walked toward Hulk! Wang Bert shouted, "Hulk, Abomination is dead. It's time for you to rest."

Seeing Wang Bert approach, Hulk was somewhat afraid. This was not only because Wang Bert had killed Abomination, but also because he instinctively sensed that the other man posed a tremendous threat to him.

Hulk wanted to run, but Ivan and the others had him tightly surrounded. He roared in shock and anger like a frightened young lion!

"Hulk, don't think about running. If you run, you'll never see Betty again. Go rest!"

Wang Bert gripped the Vibranium Spear tightly and spoke again. Hulk hesitated for a few moments, roared at Wang Bert, and his enormous body rapidly shrank. Soon, Hulk vanished, replaced by a thin, gentle-looking man wearing only oversized shorts!

Because he had overexerted himself earlier, Banner immediately collapsed unconscious after transforming back. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that this man was the giant monster from before!

Wang Bert shook his head and smiled at Ivan, who kept glancing at Tony. "Go on, but put away the axe first!"

"Alright!"

Ivan placed the axe behind his back, then impatiently activated his armor and flew up to the rooftop.

Ivan then opened his faceplate and sneered at Tony. "The Stark family's liar. Are you surprised that someone else can make armor too?"

Tony put on a surprised expression. "Who are you? Do I know you?"

Ivan flew into a rage. Wang Bert shook his head speechlessly. Tony's mouth really could anger people to death! Wang Bert shouted, "Ivan, remember what you promised me!"

"Don't worry, I won't beat him up!"

Ivan snorted. "He's just a fragile little woman. I'm afraid if I hit him once, he'll drop dead!"

That remark angered not only Tony but also the four women on the rooftop: Lilith, Natasha, Trish, and Jessica!

"You think that piece of junk you're wearing can beat me?"

Tony said with utter disdain. "Your Arc Reactor spins as slowly as a turtle. Also, your armor is far too heavy, making it terribly difficult to turn. Your intelligent system has problems too. If I were you, I never would have let that monster beat me up like that..."

Hearing Tony criticize his armor as worthless, veins bulged on Ivan's forehead with rage. He said, "If you're so amazing, why can't you even solve Palladium Poisoning? And I could easily chop you, you sissy, to death!"

"Once I fix my armor, we'll see who chops whom to death!"

Tony shouted, "Also, I seriously doubt you actually solved Palladium Poisoning. I think you're just bragging to fool your boss!"

I can't solve it, but you can? Tony did not believe it at all! It should probably go premium on May Day. Please support it when the time comes!
