Conspiracy Revealed

Vanko Tech's product launch had reached one climax after another and was gradually drawing to a close.

Suddenly, the Iron Armor units onstage began to activate. The audience stared at them in shock, not knowing what was happening.

The sudden turn of events left the audience shocked and terrified. They frantically searched for safe exits, while Ivan Vanko stood at the podium, shouting in terror, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Run!"

Tony Stark also felt a deep sense of unease and swiftly scanned his surroundings. He realized this was Ivan Vanko's scheme, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire venue.

"Rhodey, take Potts and leave immediately."

"Tony, be careful." Potts could clearly sense that this might be directed at Tony. After all, she had come this time to see what tricks Ivan Vanko, the man who had once attacked Tony in Monaco, was up to.

"Don't worry. These heaps of scrap can't handle me." Tony Stark patted Potts on the shoulder. "You two go first."

The Iron Armor units' eyes glowed red, their imposing forms seeming ready to conquer everything. As they activated, the mechanical arms onstage began moving, gradually revealing all kinds of weapon systems and equipment.

The audience screamed and tried to flee the chaotic venue. Tony immediately realized that his life was in grave danger. He quickly activated his wrist device, and armor began assembling around him. Metal fragments flew as they formed the familiar Iron Man armor.

Tony's armor shone with a brilliant red light as he swiftly took to the air, displaying his flying skills and maneuverability. He stared at the armor units onstage, his heart filled with rage and determination.

"Ivan, you madman!" Tony's voice carried both anger and warning.

"I don't know what's happening. I don't know." Ivan Vanko stood onstage, looking at Tony with panic written all over his face.

"Hm?" Tony frowned inside the armor. His instincts told him this was the other man's scheme.

Tony looked coldly at Ivan, his heart full of anger and determination. He would never allow Ivan's plot to succeed, nor would he allow Ivan to hurt innocent people.

Tony's armor dove from the sky, instantly unleashing powerful energy beams. He quickly shot down several Iron Armor units, but Ivan's legion remained vast and formidable.

The scene descended into chaos, with explosions and clashing metal filling the stage. Tony fought fiercely against Ivan's Iron Legion, launching attack after attack.

Ivan, meanwhile, looked flustered as he glanced around, seemingly searching for an escape route.

Suddenly, a violent explosion rang out, and thick smoke filled the air above the venue. When the smoke cleared, Ivan Vanko had vanished, leaving behind only scattered debris.

Tony stopped. Through the smoke and wreckage, he discovered that Ivan was gone. His heart filled with doubt and vigilance as he understood that this was only one part of Ivan's scheme.

Suddenly, Tony received a transmission from Nick Fury inside his armor.

Jarvis: "Sir, incoming transmission from Nick Fury."

"Put him through."

"Tony, you have to be careful! Justin Hammer has begun his plan!"

"Justin Hammer?" Tony Stark looked puzzled as he dodged the Iron Legion's attacks.

"According to information obtained by our agents, Justin Hammer has seized control of the Iron Legion in Ivan Vanko's control room. His goal is to kill you, pin the truth of this incident on Ivan Vanko, and then seize Vanko Tech's achievements."

Nick Fury ended the transmission and said to Black Widow beside him, "Go to Ivan Vanko's control center now. I've already sent Hawkeye there."

"Understood." Black Widow swiftly departed.

"Shit." Tony Stark cursed repeatedly.

One massive, powerful armor unit after another lunged at him, letting out deafening mechanical roars. Tony reacted with incredible speed, his armor flashing like a red bolt of lightning as he dodged and counterattacked. Using the armor's superior mobility, he nimbly evaded the enemy's attacks while unleashing powerful energy beams and missiles.

The battle was on the verge of exploding, with the sounds of metal collisions and detonations rising one after another. Tony's heartbeat quickened, every one of his senses taut as he focused on every detail of the fight.

A giant armor unit lunged at him, trying to crush Tony with its enormous fist. But Tony swiftly flew aside, then counterattacked from behind at incredible speed, using energy beams to cut through its metal plating.

Another armor unit fired missiles at him. Tony ducked sharply to evade them, then struck back. His wrist device unleashed a flamethrower, engulfing the armor unit in a sea of fire. The armor made a scorched, crackling sound, but continued attacking.

The battle raged fiercely, and every one of Tony's attacks struck its target with perfect accuracy. His armor radiated immense energy, leaving his enemies unable to resist.

However, the Iron Legion was numerous and powerful. Though Tony kept destroying enemies, their numbers seemed endless. He felt his strength gradually draining away, and the battle became increasingly difficult.

Just as he fell into a difficult position, Tony suddenly heard a familiar voice by his ear. "Tony, I've prepared a special surprise for you."

"Rhodey!"

It turned out Rhodey had just arrived, piloting one of Tony's armors.

"Now, call me War Machine."

Tony Stark was overjoyed when he saw Rhodey appear on the battlefield in the specially modified War Machine armor. The two friends stood together once more, prepared to begin their final decisive battle against Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion.

Together, they launched an attack on Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion. War Machine's shoulders were equipped with powerful rocket launchers, while Tony unleashed energy beams from his wrist devices.

They coordinated flawlessly, weaving through the battlefield like an invincible pair of combat partners. Tony displayed extraordinary mobility in battle, darting rapidly between enemies, sometimes dodging and sometimes striking back.

Rhodey, meanwhile, demonstrated War Machine's overwhelming firepower. Using the rocket thrusters on War Machine's back, he circled through the air while unleashing a dense barrage of missiles. When the missiles exploded, flames and smoke filled the air, blasting the enemy formation to pieces.

The battlefield was thick with smoke, dust, and flames, but Tony and Rhodey did not retreat. They worked together, sometimes drawing the enemy's attention apart and sometimes concentrating their firepower.

Every attack was precise, every dodge perfectly timed. They danced amid sparks across the battlefield, defeating their enemies one by one.

Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion gradually collapsed under the two men's fierce assault. With War Machine and Iron Man fighting in perfect coordination, the Iron Legion's numbers steadily dwindled.

In the end, they scattered Ivan's Iron Legion in every direction. Only burning wreckage and smoke-filled air remained on the battlefield.

Tony and Rhodey breathed heavily. Their armor was covered in scratches and scorch marks, but their eyes shone with the joy of victory.

They stood on the battlefield, looking back on their fight. They knew that only mutual trust and seamless coordination could defeat a powerful enemy.

"Nice work, Rhodey!" Tony said with a smile, patting War Machine on the shoulder.

"Helping each other, protecting each other—that's our mission!" Rhodey said excitedly.

"Is that so?" A golden Iron Armor slowly descended.

"Justin Hammer! Do you know what you're doing?" Rhodey's furious voice carried a trace of disgust.

"Hahahahaha. You're all going to die." Justin Hammer's voice came from inside the armor.

Hearing Justin Hammer's voice, Tony Stark could not help frowning. He then said to Jarvis, "Jarvis, analyze Justin Hammer's voiceprint."

"Yes, sir. Please wait."

"Sir, according to the match, Justin Hammer's voice is one hundred percent AI-generated."

Hearing the result, Tony Stark snorted coldly. "So it was you after all, Ivan Vanko?"

To be honest, when Tony Stark heard Nick Fury's intelligence, his first instinct had been not to believe it. Rather than wanting to kill him, Justin Hammer would have wanted Hammer Industries to trample him beneath its feet in front of Tony Stark, then savor the pleasure of watching him rage helplessly.

"Rhodey, this is Ivan Vanko's scheme," Tony Stark said.

"Ivan Vanko's scheme?"

"Yes. Justin Hammer's voice is AI-generated."

"Hmph. Whatever it is, let's smash the armor in front of us to pieces first."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Hmph, you two. For what happened at the hearing, die!"

The golden Iron Armor stood majestically before Tony and Rhodey, like an impregnable fortress. Tony felt the immense energy radiating from it and knew this would be a hard battle.

The battle began, and the Golden Armor attacked swiftly. Its fists hammered toward Tony like thunder, carrying terrifying force. Tony barely dodged, but a powerful impact still sent him flying into a wall.

Rhodey engaged the Golden Armor in a fierce fight. He used War Machine's firepower to suppress it, but its defenses were extraordinarily tough and nearly impossible to break. Rhodey's barrage inflicted some damage, but it was far from enough to subdue it.

Tony and Rhodey worked together, doing their best to withstand the armor's attacks. Tony used the mobility of his Iron Armor to keep dodging its punches and kicks, striking back whenever he could. His wrist device unleashed energy beams at the armor's weak points, trying to find a way to defeat it.

However, the Golden Armor displayed astonishing adaptability. It swiftly learned and adapted to Tony and Rhodey's fighting styles, neutralizing their attacks. Its fists and kicks came like a violent storm, ferocious beyond measure.

Tony and Rhodey's physical and mental strength gradually wore down, and they felt the pressure growing heavier. They understood that only by joining forces could they fight this invincible enemy.

"Rhodey, we need a combined attack! Concentrate our firepower!" Tony shouted.
