Shattered Mech
With a "whoosh!", as Tony Stark launched his attack, General Bart on the other side naturally couldn't remain unresponsive. The Dark Power emanating from General Bart's body instantly erupted, almost exactly the same as the Dark Power Robet had previously recognized.
The attack from Tony Stark's side had barely been launched, and before it even hit General Bart, Tony Stark's location was instantly swallowed up by a mass of darkness...
The Dark Space! An ability that Batman and the Joker have both used before, it creates an absolute home field for oneself. In the Dark Space, apart from one's own supernatural powers and Dark Power, no other powers can be used.
Of course, the power of technology should be available, but the connection between Tony Stark and Jarvis will likely be severed.
"Dark Space? That works too. At least this way, it won't cause too much of a commotion!" Robet didn't stop it immediately when he saw this, but instead started contacting Constantine and Clark.
"You probably won't see the battle that follows, but don't worry, I'll cover for Tony..."
"Clark, another Mask has appeared. I'll go into the Dark Space to check it out first. Don't worry..."
In a series of conversations, both normal dialogue and Mind Stone communication were conducted. Although Robet could not, like Clark, traverse all obstacles and directly see the target he wanted to see, Robet's aura was now sufficient to perceive the entire Earth, especially the aura that Clark was familiar with.
Therefore, contacting Clark was only a matter of a moment; Mind Stone was no less effective than Telepathy Magic.
"Who cares about Iron Man?!" Clark didn't respond, but Constantine, who was watching the battle, was the first to reply, seemingly forgetting that Tony Stark had just helped him fight Shadow Nightbat.
"Ahem, I was speaking on your behalf..." Constantine noticed the strange looks from Clary and the others. He coughed twice and gave Clary a brief explanation.
On the other side, after Robet finished speaking, he didn't wait for a response from either side. He was worried that Tony Stark wouldn't be able to adapt to this supernatural power and might get stuck in the Dark Space.
With a "sizzle," Robet's soul power erupted instantly, piercing through the surrounding darkness and finding Tony Stark and General Bart hiding within.
Just then, General Bart had just knocked away the somewhat distracted Tony Stark when he suddenly discovered that his Shadow Dimension had been torn apart from the outside. A look of bewilderment flashed across General Bart's eyes, and then his Mask face looked at Robet with some suspicion. For a moment, he dared not continue to attack Tony Stark.
"Who exactly are you?" General Bart was no stranger to powerful figures, but General Bart also knew that someone capable of tearing through the Dark Space from the outside was definitely not an enemy he could easily deal with.
"Oh, I just came to watch the show. It's alright, you can continue," Robet said softly, smiling and waving his hand at General Bart.
"Saiyan, where is this place? I've completely lost contact with Jarvis..." Upon seeing Robet enter, Tony Stark looked warily at General Bart beside him and asked in a low voice.
Tony Stark has now discovered another weakness in his Mecha: in certain situations, the Mecha's intelligent control system is severely weakened. Previously, Jarvis provided Tony Stark with significant assistance while piloting the Mecha, but after losing contact with Jarvis, the Mecha's built-in intelligent control system struggles to cope with certain combat situations...
"You can think of it as a Subspace, completely isolated from the outside environment. You either have to forcibly tear space out of here, or you have to defeat it, otherwise you can't leave this place..." Robet explained with a smile, glancing at General Bart who still hadn't made a move.
The situation here is different from the usual Subspace. In Robet's understanding, this place is more similar to the Ancient One's Mirror Dimension. Their functions are basically the same, both aiming to gain home-field advantage. However, Tony Stark would definitely not understand the concept of Mirror Dimension, so it is better to call it Subspace.
"You really won't make a move?" Seeing that Robet seemed to have no intention of attacking him, General Bart's expression darkened slightly, and his originally yellow-black Mask now looked even more ferocious. If he hadn't been somewhat wary of Robet because he didn't know his strength, General Bart Robet have attacked directly.
Especially considering his previous actions in the struggle for control of Morbius's body, General Bart General Bart has always been the hot-tempered one. It's quite remarkable that he has managed to restrain himself from attacking Robet.
"Your opponent is me!" Upon hearing General Bart's words, Tony Stark's expression also became serious. Tony Stark originally came to witness the battles of the Extraordinary World to gain experience. Although what has happened has repeatedly shattered his understanding, Tony Stark is not a person who is complacent. Even without Jarvis's assistance, he will not feel afraid!
With a "whoosh!", apart from the absence of Jarvis's assistance, Tony Stark's Mecha was not weakened by the Dark Space in any way, neither in terms of the Mecha's strength nor the energy level of the energy device on his chest. With another Repulsor Blast shot, the battle between Tony Stark and General Bart resumed.
The reason Robet saw Tony Stark being knocked away by General Bart when he first entered was because Tony Stark had lost contact with Jarvis and was in a completely unfamiliar place, so his attention wasn't fully focused on the battle.
At this moment, as Tony Stark got serious, his combat performance was quite good. After General Bart neutralized the Repulsor Blast, Tony Stark once again chose to engage in close combat with General Bart. It wasn't that Tony Stark had any special fondness for close combat, but rather that the power of three nuclear-level attacks wouldn't be easy to hit General Bart, Tony Stark needed to create an opportunity for himself.
Furthermore, if Tony Stark continues to use energy-based attacks such as the Repulsor Blast to exchange blows with General Bart, not only will the attacks be insufficient to threaten General Bart, but the continuous energy consumption will also reduce the power and frequency of Tony Stark's final three nuclear-level attacks.
Therefore, the best approach now is to first engage in close combat to restrain General Bart, and then find an opportunity to unleash his ultimate move. After all, Tony Stark has already tested this before, and General Bart's attacks are not enough to completely destroy Tony Stark's Mecha in a short period of time!
"State!"
"State!"
"State!"
As Tony Stark and General Bart began their battle, booming sounds echoed through the Dark Space. Robet didn't know what material Tony Stark's Mecha was made of; although it didn't look like Vibranium, it had exceptional defensive capabilities and shock absorption.
Moreover, once the entire Mecha is donned, it appears as a single unit, making it difficult for enemy forces to penetrate the Mecha's interior through the Mecha and directly harm Tony Stark's body. Therefore, General Bart did not dismantle the Mecha on the spot like Robet had done before.
Of course, Robet strongly suspected that Tony Stark had made these improvements specifically to prevent Robert from dismantling his Mecha again after witnessing him dismantle Mecha several times!
"In terms of the Mecha material and the defensive capabilities provided by the advanced technology behind it, it can indeed be considered a Demon King level, but its attack power is still somewhat lacking..." Robet's eyes flickered slightly as he watched Tony Stark and General Bart in the midst of battle, analyzing Tony Stark's current combat strength level in his mind.
"Whether it's the Repulsor Blast from before or the close-combat techniques now, they can only be considered decent, but they can't actually pose a threat to the opponent!"
"So, Tony is worried that his attacks won't hit his opponent, and he's waiting for an opportunity? But his fighting skills aren't exactly proficient, and he can't gain any advantage in the fight..."
Without Jarvis's system assistance, it would be difficult for Tony Stark to become a skilled fighter using only the system assistance built into the Mecha, especially when his attack speed and strength are weaker than his opponent's.
Therefore, Robet, who didn't know much about Mecha, could hardly see where Tony Stark's chances of winning lay in this battle, even though Tony Stark still had nuclear-level attack capabilities he hadn't used.
With a "whoosh!", just as Robet was pondering, not only did Robet figure out Tony Stark's strength, but General Bart in the battle also figured out Tony Stark's strength. The entire Dark Space underwent a tremendous change in an instant, and even Robet was blocked by a layer of darkness, as if another layer of Dark Space had been added to the Dark Space.
The Dark Space isn't as complex and unpredictable as the Mirror Dimension, but it still possesses all the advantages of home-field advantage. Otherwise, the purpose of the Dark Space couldn't simply be to confine enemies to their own territory and fight without causing any damage to the outside world, could it?
Therefore, in order to prevent Robet from intervening in Tony Stark's rescue efforts, General Bart isolated Robet from the outside. Even though General Bart knew that this method of isolation could not completely stop Robet, being able to delay him for a moment would be his chance to deal with Tony Stark!
As for Robet, after dealing with Tony Stark, General Bart plans to test Robet's strength again. If he can't beat him, he'll just have to run away.
With a "whoosh!" sound, Tony Stark's Mecha seemed to be stuck in a quagmire in front of General Bart. Each component was constantly outputting power, but it still could not get out of the quagmire and regain its freedom.
This was the weakness of Tony Stark's Mecha that Robet and General Bart discovered simultaneously. Although the Mecha possessed powerful destructive force, its own propulsion was not particularly strong compared to other strong individuals at this level. With sufficient restraint, Tony Stark's Mecha was nothing more than a target.
The Mecha that trapped Tony Stark contained Tony Stark, who was just an ordinary human. Even with his extraordinary intelligence, he was powerless to overcome the absolute gap in power without any other Tony Stark cards.
"Huh?!" Upon realizing this, Tony Stark's pupils constricted sharply. He sensed a crisis, and with absolute confidence in his reflexes, Tony Stark released all the power of the Arc Reactor in his chest, leaving nothing behind!
In other words, Tony Stark unleashed the full power of these three nuclear-level attacks all at once, maximizing their impact, because Tony Stark felt that if he didn't, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand his opponent's deadly attack!
"Boom!" As Tony Stark's chest Arc Reactor released an extreme power, a pure energy Shockwave collided with a Dark Energy, causing the entire Dark Space to tremble. It was at this moment that Robet shattered the dark barrier in front of him and witnessed the two energies erupt.
In the explosion, General Bart's body was blasted apart, turning into plumes of black smoke that merged into the Dark Space. Tony Stark fared even worse; his outer Mecha, even though it was made of extremely sturdy metal, shattered instantly, sending Tony Stark flying through the air in a bloody mess, his consciousness beginning to fade.
With a "whoosh," Robet shook his head, and the power of the Healing Spell enveloped Tony Stark. The bug-level ability appeared once again, pulling Tony Stark back from hell.
"I'm not dead?" Faced with that kind of impact, Tony Stark thought he was doomed. He even saw the gates of hell opening towards him. But suddenly his consciousness and body returned to normal, and the pain hadn't even had time to reach his brain.
Tony Stark now understood why Happy had repeatedly thought it was all an illusion. The dramatic change in his perception was so rapid, so dreamlike, that it took Tony Stark some time to come to his senses.
"You're not dead, but you're no longer capable of fighting. Forget your Mecha, even your energy device has been destroyed..." Robet said softly, looking at Tony Stark who was gradually coming to his senses.
"Where's the enemy? Where's that Demon King?" Tony Stark's gaze sharpened, and he hurriedly looked to the other side. He wanted to know whether he had won or lost. If his opponent also died, it would be a mutual destruction, so he wouldn't have lost! Moreover, being able to kill a Demon King- level powerhouse was a huge improvement over his previous performance!
In the previous chapter, starting with taking control of his body, Morbius was changed to General Bart.
