Is Iron Man Dead?

"Huh? What kind of ability is this? It grows a cape by itself? And it can even block bullets?" Tony Stark stared at Al Simmons below, stunned. He had been thinking about how to further improve his Mecha, ideally so that it could cover his body at all times, so that he could have the ability to fight back as quickly as possible whenever he encountered danger.

However, even though Tony Stark was several steps ahead of the world in technology, he still couldn't develop a suitable Mecha while maintaining the Arc Reactor's energy level. In Tony Stark's calculations, if he developed Nano-Armor, its portability, close combat ability, and variety of combat methods should all be improved, but its strongest energy destructive power would decrease, and its endurance would also be a problem.

But now, when Tony Stark saw Al Simmons, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he might find inspiration for his Nano-Armor in Al Simmons.

However, just as Tony Stark was deep in thought, Al Simmons's Repulsor Blast, which he had blocked with his Cloak, launched a counterattack instantly. No one had taught Al Simmons's strength how to use it, but as Al Simmons's anger surged, it was as if he had grasped these abilities on his own.

With a "whoosh!" sound, Al Simmons ' chains transformed into spikes, piercing towards Tony Stark. As Tony Stark dodged, the chain spikes suddenly exploded, turning into even more black spikes that pierced directly through Tony Stark's Mecha!

"Holy shit?!" Tony Stark looked down at the numerous gashes on his body and couldn't help but curse. Then, an extremely powerful beam of energy shot out from his chest, instantly locking onto Al Simmons's location.

With a "whoosh!" sound, this killing move, which concentrated all the energy of the new type of Arc Reactor, was once again blocked by Al Simmons. Al Simmons released a dark shockwave filled with hellish aura from his hand, which collided continuously with the energy beam.

At first, Tony Stark was able to hold on, but as time went by, the energy in the Arc Reactor in Tony Stark's chest gradually ran out, which meant that Al Simmons ' Dark Shockwave had finally won.

"Boom!" When the power of the two sides was no longer on the same level, the Dark Shockwave instantly blasted Tony Stark's energy beam back, and Tony Stark's Mecha exploded on the spot, leaving many spectators stunned.

"Holy crap?! Iron Man is dead?!"

"Tony Stark is dead?"

"No way? Is that monster that powerful?"

Where's Superman? Why hasn't Superman arrived yet?

"Help! Superman, we need you!"

Thoughts and shouts echoed everywhere, while inside S.H.I.E.L.D.., Nick Fury was still thinking about whether he could recruit this seemingly rational guy into the Avengers and was about to contact Tony Stark to go easy on him when he saw Tony Stark being blown up on the spot.

This caused Nick Fury to fall silent for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Try contacting Tony Stark, and also Steve and Bucky. Tell them they absolutely must stop this monster. If that doesn't work, have them notify the Saiyan..."

"Yes!" Natasha replied, quickly turning around to make the contact.

However, no matter how Natasha tried to contact them, she couldn't reach Tony Stark and the other two, and she couldn't even pinpoint their location.

Meanwhile, at Tony Stark's house, Tony Stark stopped Steve and Bucky, who were about to leave. Yes, these two were still living in Tony Stark's house, which made Peggy Carter a little unhappy. Ever since Bucky appeared, her own screen time had been decreasing. People who didn't know better would think that Bucky and Steve were a couple!

However, Steve and Bucky weren't idle; they were still searching for clues about Hydra. After all, they had obtained a large number of Hydra mission files. Even if these files couldn't help them directly find Hydra's location, they could still deduce who Hydra wanted to deal with from the Spider Web in the missions.

Of course, this was all something Steve and Bucky had done before. When Jarvis reported that a superhuman was causing trouble on the street, Steve and Bucky prepared to go and check it out. However, Tony Stark first sent out a Mecha equipped with a voice system, which was so realistic that it was hard to tell the difference.

This is also a major reason why the military has always coveted Tony Stark's Mecha. In the military's view, whether or not there is a Tony Stark in the Mecha is not that important. As long as they can control these Mecha, they can rapidly improve their overall combat effectiveness.

Meanwhile, after seeing his Mecha being bombed, Tony Stark was somewhat relieved that he hadn't personally gone into battle this time, and had also managed to stop Steve and Bucky.

"You two, are you trying to get yourselves killed?" Tony Stark said to the two old men with annoyance. "He destroyed my Mecha, doesn't that prove his strength? What we should be doing now is notifying that Saiyan guy and asking him to come and help..."

"Then we should stop that guy first, to prevent him from harming the people around him!" Steve frowned, his eyes resolute. "As long as we can stop him from harming civilians, we don't care if we die!"

"Then you should also check whether he poses any threat to the public, right?" Tony Stark shrugged and pulled up a surveillance video showing Al Simmons, who had transformed into Demon, with chains and spikes growing from his body, wildly swinging them around.

However, Al Simmons ' chains and spikes did not harm anyone, except for Tony Stark, who appeared to be dead in front of everyone.

"Judging from what we've seen so far, this guy still seems to have some sense left. And since he seems to be heading somewhere, we can deduce who he is and what he wants from that location..." Tony Stark said, pointing to Al Simmons on the screen. "I don't need to tell two experienced old folks about the importance of careful planning before acting, do I?"

"I'll contact the Saiyan first, then you guys check on his situation. Tony, you continue to send out Mecha to follow him, and if necessary, you can also try to stop him..." Steve nodded to Tony Stark and spoke softly, while simultaneously contacting Robet.

"I'm already doing this without you telling me," Tony Stark shrugged. "Otherwise, where do you think this surveillance footage came from? Jarvis, double-encrypt it! And make sure it's properly disguised. There are definitely a lot of people watching our call logs, trying to find the Saiyan. It's better to be cautious. I don't want this guy being targeted by those with ulterior motives!"

Although Tony Stark harbored some wariness towards Robet himself, he also felt that Robet's character was pure and simple. Tony Stark didn't want Robet to be found by someone like Nick Fury, because it would definitely be difficult to handle the situation then.

Nick Fury and his group's attempt to control Robet was simply to threaten Robet family. As for reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions, Tony Stark thought Robet wouldn't fall for that.

If someone like Nick Fury really dared to threaten Robet's guy, then Nick Fury would definitely be doomed, and the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.. would be in the same boat. This would inevitably put Robet on the opposite side of the official organization.

Tony Stark did not want to see that kind of situation...

"Hello? It's me, Steve." Steve nodded in approval of Tony Stark's actions and dialed Robet's number. "There's a guy here who looks like Demon, but he seems really powerful. Do you have time to come over?"

"Really? That's amazing?" Robet's eyes lit up when he heard Steve's words, and he asked with some surprise.

"Impressive! Tony Stark's latest Mecha was destroyed in just two moves by him!" Steve thought for a moment and gave a reply that made Tony Stark's face darken.

"I'm coming right now!" Robet said excitedly on the other end of the line, and then the call ended.

To be able to destroy Tony Stark's Mecha in two moves, it must be no ordinary Demon; it must be at least a high-level Demon, and a rather powerful one at that. Demon of that level is enough to make Robet a trip!

"Kara, keep an eye on them after school. Another powerful Demon has appeared. I'm off!" Robet, who was unusually absent from school today, whispered to Kara and then vanished in a flash.

"Another powerful Demon? Wasn't it said that no powerful Demon would appear after the Dimensional Array was blocked?" A hint of doubt flashed in Kara's eyes as she muttered to herself, "Could it be one of the ones that slipped through the net before? Why is it popping up now? Will something bad happen to it?"

"I said, if he asks about strength, just talk about strength. What do you mean my Mecha was destroyed in two moves? I clearly held out for a long time, okay?" Tony Stark Tony Stark glared at Steve and questioned him in his home.

"If I don't say that, how will he get here faster? If he thinks his opponent is too weak, he might not come at all..." Steve shrugged helplessly and said softly, "After all, his entrance is completely different from Superman's. I wonder what Superman is doing right now, and why he hasn't come yet..."

"That guy flies all over the world, who knows what he's doing?" Tony Stark was still a little annoyed by Clark, a superhero whose number of fans worldwide had surpassed his own. But no matter how annoyed he was, Tony Stark had to admit that Superman might be a monster on par with Robet. Although he didn't have much information about Superman yet, he knew that he was definitely no match for Superman.

Unbeknownst to Tony Stark and the others, when Clark was about to come over after seeing Al Simmons appear in the street wielding chains, he saw Tony Stark Tony Stark appear and left the situation to him.

After all, now that Tony Stark has appeared, it wouldn't be good for him to show up again and steal the spotlight, especially since Tony Stark withdrew the bounty on Robet, who looks like Son Goku, and finally transferred the money to the Kent Family's account.

This improved the Clark family's attitude towards Tony Stark slightly, so Tony Stark still needed to thank Jackie Chan, otherwise he probably would have had to pay twice, although that wouldn't have been a problem for him.

In contrast, Batman, who also received payment, did not receive this same treatment.

After seeing Tony Stark's Mecha appear, Clark headed to another part of Earth to rescue those in distress. When he saw Tony Stark's Mecha explode, he instinctively wanted to return, but upon hearing Steve contact Robet, Clark reluctantly stopped again.

"There shouldn't be any problems. This guy is stronger than the previous Demon, but he shouldn't be as powerful as that Shadow Demon." Clark examined Al Simmons and then relaxed, no longer paying attention to Al Simmons.

Meanwhile, another person was searching for Robet's location: Constantine. He was using Tracking Magic to pinpoint Robet's location and was almost at Missouri when he suddenly discovered that Robet's position had changed. Confused, Constantine changed his position as well and found that Robet's location was almost overlapping with Al Simmons's.

"Holy crap? What's going on? I didn't even lure him to the Demon King Human Vessel, and he went there on his own? Did I just waste my time?" Constantine muttered to himself, looking somewhat bewildered, before gritting his teeth and rushing towards Robet's location once more.

"Huh? Didn't they say your Mecha exploded?" On the other side, in mid-air near Al Simmons, Robet, who was halfway through tracking Steve's aura, discovered Al Simmons ' location and also noticed Tony Stark's Mecha in mid-air, muttering to himself.

"What's one Mecha? I have ten, a hundred more!" Tony Stark's somewhat arrogant voice came from inside the Mecha, then he cautiously looked at Robet and asked, "So? Are you confident you can handle that guy?"

"No problem, but could you help me clear the area? I'll try to control my destructive power, but if we really start fighting, we might accidentally hurt a lot of people around here and damage a lot of buildings..." Robet asked softly after sensing Al Simmons ' strength.

Unlike the previous battles, this is a bustling downtown area. If Robet goes all out, this place will soon become an abandoned urban area, the kind that doesn't even need demolition; it can be directly filled in and rebuilt...

"No problem, I've already bought it!" Tony Stark said proudly, fully demonstrating his financial power.

Today's third update, 12,000 words, is here. The chapter number in the last chapter was ridiculously wrong; I just realized it now o(╥╥)o
