Tony Stark's New Armor

"Originally, even with the contract, my control over you wasn't that strong, because your previous consciousness was indeed very unique..." Mephisto laughed as he watched the blood merge into the Joker's bones and the Joker's body reform. This was probably the only good news he had recently.

"But unfortunately, you're far too arrogant. Not only do you always think about getting rid of my control, but you also keep trying to scheme against me. You were lucky to succeed once, but can you succeed every time?"

"Now, my knight, you will return to Earth with my power to complete my mission. I imagine you'll be quite pleased, won't you? After all, I haven't completely taken over your body; I've only slightly controlled it..."

As Mephisto finished speaking, the Joker suddenly opened his eyes, his body enveloped in Hellfire. However, unlike before, this time the Joker's head had transformed into a flaming skull, completely abandoning his distinctive Joker face.

"Hmm, that's more like it! Now that you've signed a contract with me, don't think about showing off your personal characteristics anymore. You are now my Ghost Rider. Let me calculate, as long as the plan goes smoothly, these few drops of blood can control you for quite a while. Hopefully, it will be enough to change your mind and make you obediently belong to me from now on..." Seeing the Joker's pure Ghost Rider image, Mephisto was undoubtedly much more comfortable. He smiled and nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, the Joker activated dimensional teleportation and disappeared into the Hell Dimension.

"Earth, Saiyan, no rush. Once my plan succeeds, I'll banish you to Hell first, and then we'll see what kind of trouble you can cause!"

On Earth, on Savage Island, Robet and Clark recounted some information about Mephisto. Clark's expression became slightly more serious as Carol, standing nearby, added some details about Mephisto.

Mephisto's name is widely known throughout the universe, making him one of the more famous Hell Lord. His strength is widely recognized, placing him among the top Hell Lord, and his power is absolutely not to be underestimated, even though this avatar was defeated by Robet.

Besides, for Mephisto, this wasn't a defeat at all. He simply failed to defeat Robet and return to the Hell Dimension. Robet didn't gain anything from Mephisto, and Mephisto didn't lose much at Robet's hands...

Aside from some energy loss, the majority of the cost was for protection fees paid to Earth Dimension. However, if these fees were considered part of the cost of modifying the Joker, Mephisto could accept it. After all, compared to Mephisto's subsequent plans, this energy loss was absolutely acceptable.

"Leave this to me. You'd better stay outside. Your abilities can't explore the outside world through this Subspace. Staying here all the time isn't good either. Robet is indeed powerful, but if Mephisto really succeeds in bringing all his power down, then Robet will definitely not be his match!" After a brief exchange, Carol looked at Clark and said seriously.

"..." Upon hearing Carol's words, Clark opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't find any reason to refute them. He glanced at Robet, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't quite understand why Robet could never stay quiet for long and was always ready to fight unknown powerful figures. The key was that Robet always managed to find these unknown powerful figures.

"Never mind, Clark has been traveling around a lot lately and must be tired. Let him take a break here!" Robet noticed Clark's gaze, waved his hand calmly, and said softly, "He can leave when he's rested enough."

"I've rested enough." Although Robet's tone was perfectly calm, for some reason, Clark sensed a hint of sarcasm in Robet voice. He shook his head and looked at Carol, saying, "I'll leave this place to you for now. If you need to leave in space, remember to let me know..."

"There's nothing serious for now. The Skrull are currently in a period of low-key development. If nothing goes wrong, I just need to check on them every now and then," Carol said softly, shaking her head.

"Of course, what you do on Earth, I will do in the universe as well. I've sheltered some inhabited planets, and if they encounter trouble, I'll leave to handle it. I'll let you know when that happens..."

"Sheltered several inhabited planets?" Robet and Clark were both stunned, because this was something they had never heard of before. Moreover, sheltering several inhabited planets sounded incredibly impressive. Even Clark wouldn't dare say he could shelter the entire Earth. On Earth, probably only the Ancient One, whom Robet had just met and who had sheltered Earth from invasions from various dimensions for hundreds of years, could say something like that.

"They are all small planets. Although their technology is more advanced than Earth's and they have the ability to travel between stars, they are only at the initial stage of interstellar civilization and cannot protect themselves in the universe..." Carol shook her head and explained.

"While there isn't a purely 'dark forest' law in the universe, there are still quite a few ambitious individuals and hunters lurking in the shadows. When a planet enters the interstellar age, it inevitably has to communicate with cosmic civilizations, and such communication inevitably attracts attention..."

"Even if those planets enter the interstellar age, they will find it difficult to contend with those ambitious individuals and hunters, especially since few planets are as unevenly developed as Earth. It hasn't even entered the interstellar age yet, but it possesses powerful beings that many advanced civilizations lack..."

There are many top-tier beings in the universe, but they are not necessarily all in advanced or top-tier civilizations. Many powerful beings from advanced civilizations may not be able to defeat the Hell Demon King. Therefore, if Peter Parker and his companions can survive in the universe, or have a set of equipment, they can also thrive in a certain part of the universe.

"When I was helping the Skrull find a habitable planet, I saved a few. At their request, I also took them under my wing. But now that my reputation is established, no one usually dares to mess with them anymore..." Carol continued, "So, theoretically, unless they encounter a reckless fool or a fearless Stubborn Fools, they don't really need my help anymore."

"That's similar to what the Saiyan did against Frieza Force..." Hearing Carol's explanation, a thought flashed through Robet's mind. "However, there are some differences. The Saiyan and Frieza Force mostly dealt with planets that hadn't yet entered interstellar civilization. In this world, planets without interstellar civilization seem less likely to be discovered; it's the planets that have begun interstellar civilization that are more dangerous..."

"Are these planets not far apart?" Compared to thinking about the Saiyan Robet, Clark was more concerned about the distance between those planets. Even though Carol was very fast, if the civilizations were too far apart, traveling between multiple planetary civilizations would not be an easy task.

"Actually, it's not that far. Normally, in a star system suitable for the birth of life, there shouldn't only be one life-bearing planet, but two or three planets, because they are about the same distance away, that give rise to different civilizations..." Carol shook her head and said softly.

"Oh, right, Mars also has life, but it's extinct. And Titan seems to have the remains of a civilization, but there's no sign of life there..." Clark thought of what he had observed when he left Earth to fight, and nodded knowingly. It turned out that this situation was not uncommon in the Solar System. In fact, the Solar System was considered relatively weak. All the life and civilizations that had developed had perished, leaving only Earth, which had developed the slowest.

"I've heard of the Martian before. They're said to be a race with incredibly strong life force..." Carol's expression turned serious as she looked at Robet and Clark. "As for the Eternals of Titan, that's even more true. However, the Eternals are almost extinct, with only one Mad Titan remaining. He Devastation countless cosmic civilizations, and it's said that he even Devastation his own planetary civilization!"

"So ruthless?" A hint of surprise flashed in Robet and Clark's eyes. Devastation a planetary civilization wouldn't be too difficult for Clark and Robet, but they certainly wouldn't destroy Earth's civilization, even though they weren't human from this Earth, they still had feelings for it.

The Mad Titan destroyed their own planetary civilization, truly deserving the title of "madmen." Compared to planetary survivors like Clark and Martian Manhunter, the Mad Titan orphaned themselves...

"Is that Mad Titan powerful?" Robet asked Carol with some curiosity.

"I don't think he can beat me!" Carol smiled confidently, her voice soft but firm. "Of course, he has his advantages. His subordinates are quite powerful; I've heard that everyone in the Black Order is strong, but I wonder if they're the kind that break at the slightest touch..."

"Forget it, I'll see if I can get a chance to fight him when I go to space!" Robet waved his hand, knowing that he was powerful or not would only be known after they fought.

"Let's talk about that when you've developed the ability to survive in space!" Clark glanced at Robet and reminded him.

"Tch! I have a feeling that once I reach Carol's level of strength, I'll definitely be able to survive in the universe!" Robet glared at Clark and said, "Besides, some people really seem to have had enough rest, so let's go..."

"Let's go!" Clark replied without changing his expression, and flew out of the Savage Island with Robet. At the same time, he secretly asked Robet telepathically, "Hey Robet, you haven't contacted Diana for so long, aren't you afraid she'll be angry?"

"What's the use of being afraid? I can only go see Diana once things are settled on Kara's side..." Robet, knowing what Clark wanted to ask, shrugged and transmitted his voice.

"Ahem, you haven't seen her for so long, don't you miss her? Don't you keep thinking about the past?" Clark looked around. Although he was communicating telepathically, he couldn't help feeling guilty. Luckily, Clark wasn't wearing his Superman Battle Suit at this moment, or his image would have been completely ruined.

Of course, Clark wouldn't care about these things in front of Robet, after all, he had embarrassed himself in front of Robet far too many times, so he had more debts than he could bear.

"I still think about it, but I can resist the urge. After all, there was always a considerable gap between each time I went to see her before..." Robet glanced at Clark and said, "Of course, I can resist, but not everyone can. If you can't, just stay by Lana's side and spend more time with her."

"I will." Clark nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Although the situations were somewhat similar, the two brothers' attitudes and approaches were clearly different, and he couldn't gain any experience from them, especially since Robet didn't seem to be planning to go to Diana in the short term.

However, after receiving Robet's guidance, Clark still followed Robet's advice and spent most of his time with Lana, taking Lana along on nearby rescue missions, seemingly having truly forgotten about Lois's existence...

Meanwhile, at Tony Stark's home, after Steve and Bucky returned to London, and Jarvis failed to find any trace of Hydra, Tony Stark didn't leave his house. When needed, he would pilot his Mecha out to handle emergencies, while he himself remained in the laboratory, taking root...

Holding on like this for a short time is fine, but in the long run, it will definitely wear down the body, and could even be considered a great detriment. However, although Tony Stark's body is severely damaged, he is extremely excited because he has finally achieved the goal he set for himself!

Tony Stark had previously met Robet, then Superman, and the terrifying Hell Demon King. Witnessing one powerful figure after another with terrifying destructive power, Tony Stark's sense of crisis rose sharply. Tony Stark felt that in this bizarre era, he needed at least the ability to survive a nuclear explosion or the ability to launch a single nuclear explosion to protect himself.

Now, Tony Stark has created Mecha capable of single-target nuclear explosions. In fact, if he hadn't not fully mastered Vibranium, Tony Stark might have been able to develop Mecha that could survive a nuclear explosion!

Even if he doesn't achieve that, Tony Stark's strength level has already undergone a qualitative leap. If he were to encounter the same battle again, while he might not necessarily be a main combatant, he would at least no longer need to be a mere observer on the sidelines...
