The Mysterious Dark Demon King
"Once I've recouped my losses from you, I'll make a killing and then take you down!" However, as Obadiah reached an agreement with Ivan, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Hmph! You really think I'd believe you'd let me kill Tony Stark? How could you only earn one share when you could earn two? I've seen through your Greed, but it doesn't matter. How could a fool like you possibly control me?" Meanwhile, Ivan was also having his own plans.
"As long as I survive, the problems within me will naturally be resolved. Mechanical Insects, huh? You have no idea how powerful a top genius truly is. Once I've resolved the crisis within me, I'll use your money to create a new Mecha and kill you and Tony Stark!"
And so, the two scheming individuals began to cooperate. On the surface, things seemed to be progressing well, and they were even developing weapons and Mecha faster than Justin Hammer.
This is one of the unique characteristics of this world. It can be said that the value of a super genius is greater than that of a hundred scientists combined. Even if these scientists also obtained the super genius's technology, it would be very difficult for them to replicate it exactly.
The few scientists capable of replicating these technologies are all renowned figures; they either become superheroes or supervillains, which is why geniuses like Tony Stark are so rare...
Therefore, even though Hammer Industries already possessed similar equipment, their production of individual Mecha remained extremely slow. Iron Man's Mecha wasn't just about the Arc Reactor; Ivan was able to quickly understand the underlying technology, find suitable modification methods, and create Mecha tailored to his needs. Hammer Industries, however, couldn't...
Of course, Ivan also had limitations. He needed to manufacture a batch of inferior weapons for Obadiah to sell and recoup his costs. Before he could recoup his costs, Obadiah was extremely strict with his finances. Even if Obadiah didn't know the exact cost of the Iron Armor, he didn't have much money of his own.
Before having Ivan build the Mecha, Obadiah considered himself a wealthy man, having benefited from Stark Industries ' profits so many times. But when Ivan started building the Mecha, Obadiah realized that he was still far from being truly rich!
Therefore, Obadiah hoped that Ivan could build the Mecha as soon as possible, further increasing his wealth. In the end, Obadiah continued to invest his meager fortune, sinking deeper and deeper into debt...
On the other hand, Tony Stark's research into Robet's Battle Suit wasn't so easy either. The Nano-Armor Tony Stark envisioned looked very similar to the effects Robet's Battle Suit had, but through these days of contact, Tony Stark discovered that Robet's Battle Suit wasn't based on nanotechnology, but rather on a much more advanced technology.
Let alone the fact that Tony Stark's current Mecha technology is vastly different from his Battle Suit technology, even the technological gap between the envisioned Nano-Armor and Battle Suit is as large as the gap between a flintlock pistol and Laser Gun.
Tony Stark initially believed that Robet's Battle Suit was designed by a genius scientist on Earth, but now Tony Stark suspects it's alien technology!
Of course, Tony Stark is Tony Stark after all. Even with such a huge gap in technological level, Tony Stark still gained a lot of inspiration from it. It seems that he has found a solution to the most serious flaw in the Nano-Armor Mecha's defensive capabilities!
Robet has been coming to Tony Stark's place every day these days. Of course, in return, Tony Stark has been finding chefs all over the world to cook for Robet. Not only are the ingredients air-freighted, but the chefs are also air-freighted, allowing Robet to enjoy a feast of global cuisine, as if he were back at Bulma's yacht party in the Dragon Ball World...
"Saiyan! Saiyan!" On this day, Robet, who was enjoying a delicious meal, received Telepathy Magic from Constantine, which made Robet's eyes light up.
"Did they find Mephisto? Or did they find that Ghost Rider?" Robet hadn't forgotten about Mephisto, and of course, the Joker, who could travel between dimensions, was also on Robet's radar.
"Uh..." Constantine paused for a moment upon hearing Robet's question, then said somewhat awkwardly, "It's not Mephisto and Ghost Rider, it's a Demon King, and it doesn't seem to be from the Hell Dimension. I wonder how he got here..."
"The Demon King is quite a formidable opponent, isn't he? This was only discovered after Clary tested him; Clary couldn't defeat him, and he escaped..."
"Clary made a move? She's even able to fight the Demon King?" A hint of surprise flashed in Robet's eyes. Robet had some knowledge of Clary's strength before. Robet felt that her abilities seemed to be more comprehensive than Susan Storm and Lorna, but their combat power should be about the same.
Robet hadn't expected that Clary was already able to fight the Demon King. After all, Susan Storm and Lorna could only work together to deal with high-level Demon. The gap between the two sides had suddenly widened so much.
Of course, Clary's source of power is also extraordinary, coming from Angel of the Sub-Skyfather level, and she is even hailed as the strongest in the Shadow Hunter lineage. In addition, Clary is constantly developing her abilities, working even harder than Susan Storm and Lorna, so her progress in strength is naturally faster.
In all things considered, among Robet's Little Z Fighters Team, only Peter Parker could probably rival Clary in terms of effort; the others were somewhat lacking.
"There's still a gap. The main thing is that she notified us that the Demon King sensed the existence of the Portal and was worried about some kind of trap, so he ran away. Oh, and Clary is injured..." Constantine said telepathically, glancing at Clary beside him, whose face was slightly pale.
"Is that so? Then I'll come and take a look. Demon King level being like this definitely needs to be dealt with, otherwise the harm this kind of thing causes on Earth will be quite significant!" Robet, neither refusing Constantine nor complaining that his opponent's actions were insufficient.
After all, for Saiyan in the Dragon Ball World, having a strong opponent is certainly a good thing, but if the opponent isn't strong enough, they can lower themselves to the opponent's level and warm up a bit.
Take Robet, for example. When facing Hell Lord- level powerhouse, he would definitely activate the Great Ape Power: Wrath transformation and fight to the bitter end. When facing a top-tier Hell Demon King -level opponent, he could maintain his normal fighting state. And against weaker opponents, he could simply maintain his current Transformation Technique state and have a proper fight.
Each level of combat power has its own fighting style!
"You can study it on your own for now, I have to go out for a bit..." Robet said to Tony Stark, who was still studying the Battle Suit, after finishing his communication with Constantine.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Tony Stark's mind was still full of thoughts about the Battle Suit and the Mecha, so he asked instinctively.
"A Demon King has appeared, and I need to go deal with him..." Robet didn't hide anything, after all, the battle might get too big, and Tony Stark might need to help manage the public pressure.
Of course, given the absolute difference in strength, Robet's destructive power will definitely be controlled, and the previous situation of him exploding nuclearly at will will not occur again.
"Demon King?!" Tony Stark's eyes lit up when he heard Robet's words. He looked at Robet expectantly and asked, "Is he the same Demon King as last time? Do I have the strength to fight him now?"
"Well, to be honest, I don't really have a concept of the combat strength of your system..." Robet shrugged, looking at Tony Stark with a frown as he spoke.
Robet didn't know Tony Stark's current strength, because the two had never fought before. The Mecha combat personnel Robet had encountered before were all quite weak, and those related to technology were Androids, but Tony Stark was clearly not Androids.
However, according to Carol, the Battle Armor worn by the Kryptonian squad in the universe allows them to reach Robet's normal combat power, which should be the same type as Tony Stark's Mecha, but Tony Stark's Mecha clearly does not reach this level.
"My latest Mecha hasn't been developed yet, but the previous Mecha already had nuclear-level destructive power..." Upon hearing Robet's words, Tony Stark hesitated slightly, wanting to know where his strength would stand in the supernatural world.
"Nuclear explosion level destructive power?" Robet raised an eyebrow, glancing at Tony Stark with some surprise, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, you possess Demon King level destructive power, but your sustained combat ability is uncertain. Of course, even if you're no match for him, you should be able to protect yourself. I'll take you there..."
"Great!" Tony Stark's eyes lit up, and a suit of Mecha instantly covered Tony Stark body. Before Tony Stark could take off, an invisible light enveloped Tony Stark and Robet, and the two of them instantly disappeared from Tony Stark's house.
"Gentlemen?"
"Gentlemen?"
After Robet and Tony Stark disappeared, Jarvis's voice echoed through the villa, but no one responded for a moment.
"I'm here!" After a moment, Tony Stark's voice contacted Jarvis from another location, filled with excitement. "Space teleportation technology! Jarvis, did you detect it just now?"
"I'm sorry, sir, no, the power detected does not match what is recorded in my database..." Jarvis's voice quickly rang out again. He had searched the database for the power but found nothing that matched.
"Iron Man?" On the other side, in the Magic Base, Constantine blinked at Tony Stark, who had come with Robet, with some surprise. This was not the first time he had seen Tony Stark. He had seen Tony Stark live when they dealt with that Hell Demon King last time, but he had not shown up to deal with Tony Stark.
The main reason was that Constantine felt that someone like Tony Stark, who focused on technology, was not on the same wavelength as someone like Constantine who focused on magic. In fact, in Constantine's view, those who purely pursued the technological path, even with immense destructive power, could not be considered part of the extraordinary world, because, fundamentally, technological power is rarely exclusive to an individual, unless it involves cyborgs...
"Yes, it was me. So, that was magic just now?" Tony Stark asked Constantine, his eyes shining. "How did you do that?"
"You said it was magic, how am I supposed to know how it was done?" Constantine looked at Tony Stark and shrugged, asking in an annoyed tone.
"I hate you magicians the most! You have absolutely no spirit of exploration!" Tony Stark muttered, pouting in disappointment.
With a "whoosh," Robet, ignoring the conversation between Tony Stark and Constantine, waved his hand, and Healing Spell on Clary. Robet discovered that Clary's injuries were not minor; although not serious enough to cause her to faint, she would definitely lose her fighting ability for a short time.
"No need... Ah!" Clary instinctively wanted to refuse when she saw Robet's actions, but before she could finish speaking, Healing Spell had already healed Clary.
"I'm sorry, Saiyan, I've made you pay such a heavy price again..." Clary said apologetically to Robet after recovering. "Don't worry, I will definitely find other strong individuals to help you pay the price!"
"No need, your injuries aren't serious, it won't cost you anything..." Robet suddenly felt that bringing Tony Stark along wasn't the right decision, especially since Tony Stark was looking at him suspiciously. However, Robet remained expressionless as he spoke to Clary. What could he do? He could only continue the act. Was he really going to lay all his cards on the table?
"The price..." Tony Stark's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Robet's words. He also thought of what Robet had said earlier about the Angel and the Shadow Hunter. Suddenly, Tony Stark's eyes became even more grateful when he looked at Robet. It seemed that he had also misunderstood something.
"Alright, tell me about the Demon King's whereabouts. How did he suddenly appear? Weren't there any clues before?" Robet felt a little uncomfortable under Tony Stark's gaze. He waved his hand and looked at Constantine, asking, "I remember the last Hell Demon King needed some kind of Demon King Human Vessel. Why doesn't this Demon King need one? Or has this Demon King already succeeded?"
My subscriptions are crashing and I'm having writer's block. I'm thinking of bringing forward the Super Saiyan transformation timeline in the outline, but I'm not quite comfortable with it...
