A Body He Can't Control

"This..." Tony Stark hesitated for a moment when he heard Black Widow Natasha's words, glancing at Hawkeye Barton, Steve, and Bucky. The three of them were indeed struggling to hold on during the battle.

Hawkeye Barton was outnumbered by the sheer number of enemies, his arrows were nearly exhausted, and in close combat, he was no match for the Super Soldier and the bizarre Statue Army. After several clashes, he could only dodge and parry...

As for Steve and Bucky, they weren't much stronger. The Super Soldier here were still a bit weaker than those with modified metal arms. Normally, they could handle a few of them without much trouble.

But Steve and Bucky were already injured, and now they had to deal with a larger number of enemies than before. Even Steve and Bucky were finding it difficult to keep up and were struggling to cope...

Valmont was growing impatient, but he still didn't make a move. Instead, he silently observed every part of the battlefield, watching as the Super Soldier, the Statue Army, and the Animal Warriors suffered continuous losses.

Valmont was completely unaware that his temper and personality had subtly changed. If it were Valmont's previous style of doing things, he would either be fighting Robet with the Fake Superman created by the Rat Talisman, or he would be wiping out Tony Stark and the others with the eleven Talisman, instead of being a bystander.

In the secluded chamber, unnoticed by anyone, the dragon statue of Demon Sorcerer slowly opened its eyes, its red light flashing as it stared at Valmont's location, its mouth even twisted to one side, looking somewhat smug...

The real Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King!

"Retreat!" After observing the battlefield, Tony Stark made a decisive decision. He didn't know Steve and Bucky's identities, and even though Steve was using Captain America's shield, he didn't think about it.

However, Tony Stark still informed Steve and Bucky, not only because they had just fought side-by-side, but also because Steve and Bucky had clearly come with Robet. Although he didn't know the situation on Robet's side, he couldn't just leave Steve and Bucky here unattended...

"Huh? Trying to leave?" Hak foo was the first to react to Tony Stark's words. He changed his attack method, hurling a Statue Army and stones at Tony Stark. The speed and destructive power of the flying stones were far greater than that of bullets, forcing Tony Stark to dodge them in a flustered manner.

"Boss, they're trying to escape!" Hak foo shouted at Valmont while attacking Tony Stark and the others, trying to remind Valmont to take action Valmont.

After all, Hak foo knew Valmont's power after acquiring the Talisman; if Valmont were to make a move, Tony Stark and the others would certainly not survive!

"Hmm?" Valmont, upon hearing Hak foo's words, seemed to snap out of his daze. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't think much of it at first. Instead, he looked at Tony Stark and the others, finally preparing to make his move.

"Boom!"

But at that moment, a series of explosions echoed around the base. Tony Stark immediately ordered three Mecha to pick up Steve and the other two, and then the other Mecha released most of their energy to unleash a powerful Shockwave combo!

Tony Stark figured that since the firepower of one Mecha was limited, he could use ten or even a hundred Jaegers. The combined firepower would achieve the same effect!

At least, this move worked very well this time; the entire base and the enemy were suppressed by the firepower, and even Valmont, who was originally preparing to make a move, did not rush out.

"Let's go! Get out of here first!" Tony Stark shouted to Black Widow Natasha, in the fighter jet, and then piloted the Mecha away with Steve and the others.

"Cough cough cough!" After a while, the smoke and dust in the base slowly dissipated. Hak foo was coughing in a somewhat disheveled state. Hak foo had to admit that when Tony Stark's Mecha unleashed its full destructive power, it was still terrifying. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have been severely injured by those energy Shockwave.

Even the Super Soldier around them had died, not to mention the Animal Warriors who walked towards death after being wounded.

The situation with the Statue Army was somewhat special; despite being missing limbs, they could still move on their own. But overall, Valmont's forces suffered heavy losses...

Of course, Tony Stark's Mecha energy was almost depleted after this attack, and with Valmont not yet making a move, Tony Stark and his crew couldn't stay there to see what they had accomplished.

"Boss?" However, at this moment, Hak foo noticed that something was wrong with Valmont, because his behavior today was completely different from Valmont's usual style. He was neither cautious nor decisive, otherwise they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

While it's a traditional practice to have the boss stay behind while the underlings fight on the front lines, Valmont isn't the type to stand idly by and watch his men die—these are all talents he's trained!

Valmont was already angry and heartbroken when searching for the lost Talisman, but now so many have died, including Animal Warriors and Super Soldier trained at great cost, and Valmont hasn't shown much reaction. This is clearly strange...

"Don't speak yet!" Valmont interrupted Hak foo, frowning as he carefully sensed something. He also noticed something was wrong, but this strange feeling seemed to be blocked by something, preventing Valmont from truly perceiving it.

It's like being trapped in a dream, vaguely aware that you're dreaming, but not quite a lucid dream. You're confused about your own behavior, yet unable to control it...

"You all evacuate first!" However, Valmont had a vague suspicion in his mind. He looked at Hak foo and ordered, "Move all experimental tools and data to the backup base..."

"Boss, what about you?" Hak foo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Valmont with some doubt and asked.

"I need to confirm some things! Go!" Valmont took a deep breath and looked solemnly into the secret chamber where Demon Sorcerer was. He began to suspect that Demon Sorcerer was behind this. He wanted to investigate, but he felt that his body was somewhat out of control and he had no intention of moving towards the secret chamber.

"Heh, a mere human dares to covet my power? The longer you possess my power, the deeper my control over you will become. It's a pity that one of the Talisman hasn't returned yet, otherwise it wouldn't be long before your body is completely under my control!" The Demon Sorcerer stared Greed at Valmont's body and said disdainfully.

At this moment Shendu Dragon Statue in the secret chamber had fully awakened, and there was no longer any intention to hide it, because everything was already under the Demon Sorcerer's control. He only needed to wait a little longer, and Valmont's body would completely belong to him!

"What a pity! Although you noticed something was wrong, you noticed it too late! Your method of luring me with the Monkey Talisman was indeed quite good. If you had used the Rat Talisman, I might have really been able to resist!" Demon Sorcerer was secretly influencing Valmont, who wanted to come and investigate but couldn't control his body, and was muttering mockingly. Suddenly, Demon Sorcerer's expression hardened, and he looked towards the direction outside the base.

"Huh?! Rat Talisman? What's going on? Is that kid that powerful? Even that guy isn't a match for him?!"

"Huh?" At the same time, Valmont also looked towards the outside of the base. Before Valmont could react, a figure flew out and crashed heavily to the ground, smashing through the hard ground of the base on the spot!

This figure was none other than Fake Superman empowered by the Rat Talisman. In his battle against Robet in his Great Ape Power: Wrath state, he was utterly defeated by Robet.

"Awesome!" Robet's figure caught up with the attack, sending the Fake Superman flying with a punch. Robet felt great, both physically and mentally. He hadn't had such a satisfying fight in a long time. It was a great way to stretch his body and free his Mind Stone. The Fake Superman was truly amazing!

"Lost? How is that possible?" Valmont looked at Robert, who was struggling to crawl out of the ground, wearing a tattered Superman Fake Superman. Valmont's eyes flashed with surprise and doubt as he looked at Robet. Although Robet looked a little different from before, Valmont was still certain of Robet's identity.

"Unfortunately, your previous regret was wrong." Robet smiled and shrugged at Valmont's surprised and uncertain gaze, saying softly, "It seems you have a chance to have a proper fight with me... By the way, what about the rest of them? Did you take care of them?"

Robet looked around as he spoke. He had been completely absorbed in the fight against the Fake Superman and hadn't noticed what was happening here. Not seeing Steve and the others, Robet assumed they had been killed by Valmont...

With a "whoosh!", before Valmont could even reply, the Fake Superman charged at Robet again. However, Robet had already breached the Fake Superman's Steel Body, and his strength had noticeably decreased compared to before, both in terms of power and speed.

With a loud "bang!", Robet stepped to the left, using his legs, waist, and arms to dodge the Fake Superman's punch while simultaneously landing a punch on the Fake Superman's familiar face.

With a loud bang, the Fake Superman's body flew backward at an even faster speed, crashing directly into Valmont's direction. Yes, Robet did it on purpose; everything was under Robet's control.

Even as the Fake Superman flew away, Robet could see pieces of pebbles falling from Fake Superman body.

As Robet watched the rubble fall to the ground, a thought flashed through his mind: what if he forged a Clark using Vibranium and powered it with the Rat Talisman? Would that be even more powerful?

"Hmph!" Valmont narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly as the Fake Superman hurtled towards him. Then, he exerted his strength, intending to catch the Fake Superman's body in a stylish manner to show off to Robet.

With a loud "thump," Valmont's body jolted as his arm made contact with the Fake Superman's body. The Ox Talisman on his body emitted a bright light, but he still stumbled back two steps, breaking several large craters in the ground before finally managing to catch the Fake Superman's body.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but thankfully Hak foo and the others had already evacuated in time, otherwise the atmosphere would have been even more awkward.

In the midst of this awkward atmosphere, Valmont was completely unaware that when the Ox Talisman Ox Talisman emitted its bright light, it had already merged into his skin from where he had stored Talisman, and entered his body!

Valmont was completely unaware of this. He only felt that his power seemed to have increased again, which gave Valmont a slight boost in confidence. However, Valmont felt that this power was not enough. Only when he had all twelve Talisman on him would he have the strength to deal with Robet!

After all, Robet's strength was so great that even the Superman created by the Rat Talisman was no match for him; he could only rely on gathering the power of the Talisman...

Valmont, somewhat dazed, grabbed the Fake Superman's body and pulled the Rat Talisman from his mangled Barry, while the Fake Superman offered no resistance whatsoever...
