Mech Showdown!

"Huh?" Just as the Stark Industries security personnel below were puzzled and wondering what was going on, Ivan had broken into the Stark Industries Tower, also frowned. Although he had found Pepper's location, Pepper was now wearing a suit of Mecha, which Ivan had not expected. In fact, Ivan felt that things seemed to be getting out of his control!

Especially next to Pepper, there was another Mecha, Ivan had no idea who was inside Mecha.

"Tony Stark?" Thinking of this, Ivan looked at the other Mecha and asked tentatively. At the same time, the surrounding Mecha, under Ivan's control, surrounded the two Mecha.

"Yes, it's me!" Tony Stark's voice came from the Mecha. "Ivan, is it? You actually showed up here. Where's Obadiah? How much value did you create for him? He actually let you come here to kill me?"

"Huh? You actually knew about my collaboration with him?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ivan's eyes, followed by a cold laugh. "However, my collaboration with him is over. I'm sorry I didn't bring his complete body here, but I'll send you to see him!"

With a "whoosh!", as Ivan's words fell, a long whip filled with lightning and energy lashed out from his Mecha. Even with a large amount of research and development funds, Ivan still added the same energy whip to his Mecha to retain his unique characteristics. Perhaps this was his last act of defiance as Whiplash!

Of course, Ivan made this choice because this attack method was indeed more suitable for Ivan. He was an outstanding athlete, very skilled in the use of Whiplash, and with the powerful propulsion system, Ivan's energy whip possessed immense power and control!

With a "crack!", the two Mecha in front of him dodged as the whip lashed out, causing Ivan's strike to miss its mark. The whip not only shattered the desk on the spot but also sliced through the wall, door, and floor. The Stark Industries employees on the floor below looked up in confusion, not quite understanding what had happened in the CEO's office upstairs.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Moreover, Ivan's attack was just the beginning; a group of Mecha around him launched their attacks simultaneously. Pepper and Yinsen, inside their Mecha, had no way to control Mecha, as they lacked experience in this area. Jarvis was the one who helped them operate their Mecha.

Even with Jarvis's powerful computing abilities, it didn't mean that Yinsen and Pepper could dodge all the attacks. After a series of dodges, Yinsen's Mecha was bound by Ivan's whip on the spot. The electric current on the outer layer damaged the surface of the Mecha and pulled Yinsen towards Ivan.

"No, you're not Tony Stark! How could Tony Stark be as weak as you?" However, after capturing Yinsen, Ivan showed no joy whatsoever; in fact, his voice carried a hint of anger.

Because Ivan was certain that the guy in front of him who couldn't even control Mecha was definitely not Tony Stark. If Tony Stark was only at this level, he wouldn't be qualified to be his opponent!

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

As Ivan finished speaking, the surrounding Mecha lashed out with their whips at Yinsen's Mecha. The Mecha, which was quite capable of handling bullets and even cannonballs, was now particularly vulnerable to Ivan's whip. Even though this was not a portable Mecha, it was not Tony Stark's latest Mecha either, and its defensive capabilities were quite limited.

Faced with the relentless attacks, the Mecha quickly became tattered, revealing a hint of panic in Yinsen's face, who clearly possessed the air of a scholar.

With a loud "boom," just as Ivan was about to kill Yinsen with his whip, Pepper decisively controlled her Mecha to launch a counterattack. Compared to Yinsen, Pepper's reaction was faster, especially since Pepper had some knowledge of the Mecha's capabilities and her coordination with Jarvis was even better.

With a muffled thud, Ivan was pushed back slightly, but Pepper's Mecha ' firepower was insufficient to inflict significant damage on Ivan's Mecha.

This brings us to another advantage of the Ivan Mecha: its formidable defensive capabilities!

It can be said that, apart from agility and speed, Ivan's Mecha is superior to Tony Stark's early Mecha in every aspect, which aligns with common perceptions of the Russians...

"Weak and powerless, like a woman!" Ivan sneered, controlling the surrounding Mecha to attack Pepper while pulling Yinsen's body towards him. His voice was icy as he looked at the flustered Yinsen and said, "What I'm saying is that you and Tony Stark are both like women! In your next life, don't hang out with women again..."

With a "whoosh!", before Ivan could finish speaking, a thin laser beam, seemingly devoid of any power, struck Ivan's chest. However, Ivan's Mecha was sent flying, along with Yinsen's damaged Mecha, which was also torn away.

"Damn it!" Tony Stark, who had just arrived to launch the attack, did not expect that his move would unfold in this way. He quickly flew towards Yinsen's direction. After all, given the extent of the Mecha covering Yinsen's body, when Ivan crashed into the wall and Yinsen crashed into Ivan, it would be the moment Yinsen died, especially considering Yinsen's thin physique.

With a "whoosh!" Tony Stark reacted quickly, and his flight speed was even faster. Moreover, since there were no innocent bystanders in the office, Tony Stark did not need to suppress his speed or worry about accidentally hurting others. He arrived between Yinsen and Ivan's Mecha at top speed, conjured a laser in his hand, and slashed at Ivan's Mecha's whip.

"Crack! Crack!" The whip of Ivan's Mecha was being slashed with a cracking sound, and sparks flashed, but Tony Stark's laser failed to cut the whip in two. This made Tony Stark's expression change, and he quickly grabbed the whip of Ivan's Mecha and pulled it back. At the same time, he quickly controlled the remaining parts of Yinsen's Mecha to help Yinsen escape.

"Heh heh, Tony Stark, you've finally arrived. But do you think you can save him?" Just then, Ivan let out a piercing taunt. The Mecha beside him attacked Tony Stark and Yinsen simultaneously. Now Tony Stark only had two choices: either dodge and watch Yinsen, without the protection of the Mecha, be turned into mincemeat on the spot, or he had no choice but to take the hits for Yinsen!

The answer is self-evident. When Ivan's whereabouts were discovered, Tony Stark had both Yinsen and Pepper put on their Mecha so that Yinsen could help protect Pepper. After all, Ivan might not know of Yinsen's existence, but he definitely knew of Pepper.

Now, Yinsen's mission is complete. Pepper emerged unscathed from the Mecha clash, but Yinsen is in grave danger. Tony Stark, of course, cannot simply stand by and watch Yinsen die before his eyes...

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Tony Stark blocked the whip attack from Ivan's Mech Legion. The energy whip didn't directly break through Tony Stark's Mecha, but it left charred marks on it and tightly wrapped around Tony Stark Tony Stark's body. The terrifying electric Mecha explosively destroyed Tony Stark's Mecha while constantly tearing at it!

Tony Stark's Mecha suit is indeed much more powerful than his previous Mecha. However, in terms of defense, limited by the materials used, Mecha defensive capabilities haven't seen a significant leap. It's stronger than previous Mecha, even more durable than Mecha at Ivan's level, but it's not capable of completely ignoring attacks, especially given the sheer number and density of attacks...

It can be said that, compared to the last time Ivan's whip struck Tony Stark's new Mecha without causing any damage or even breaking through his defenses, this time Ivan's Mecha did pose a certain threat to Tony Stark!

"Jarvis!" However, Tony Stark wasn't without a solution to this situation: call Jarvis!

Ivan has quite a few Mecha, but Tony Stark Mecha even more!

Ivan didn't skimp on Mecha production, so Obadiah's meager assets were quickly squandered by Ivan. This was only after Ivan helped Obadiah sell a batch of weapons and earn some money, allowing Ivan to barely build his own steel Mech Legion...

But Tony Stark is different. Tony Stark's wealth is far beyond Obadiah's, not to mention that there are some specialized metal materials that Obadiah cannot obtain, especially now that Stark Industries is not under Obadiah's control. Being able to buy a small portion from the black market is already quite good. And these materials limit the number of Mecha Ivan can manufacture!

Therefore, Tony Stark's Mecha are roughly three times more numerous than Ivan's. In other words, even if Ivan didn't distribute his Mecha across three locations and instead gathered them all together, he would still have the same number of Mecha as Tony Stark has currently assembled...

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Various sounds rang out one after another. One after another, Tony Stark's Mecha tackled Ivan's Mecha, which was restraining Tony Stark, and trapped it, preventing it from continuing to attack Tony Stark. At this point, Tony Stark only needed to deal with Ivan.

"Jarvis, take them away first!" Yinsen quickly regained his freedom, breaking free from the Mecha and whip. Under Jarvis's control, he entered another Mecha and left the battlefield with Pepper, hovering in the sky to watch Tony Stark and Ivan's next battle.

Meanwhile, Pepper was also evacuating Stark Industries employees. After all, given the destructive power of Tony Stark's Mecha, the entire Stark Industries Tower might not be able to withstand the attack!

"Damn it! Don't think you can defeat me like this!" Ivan watched helplessly as Yinsen escaped from his grasp, while Tony Stark's Mecha only suffered a few scratches without any real damage. His anger surged, and powerful electricity erupted from the whip in his hand as he swung it, trying to tear Tony Stark's Mecha away and free his whip.

"Sizzle!"

"Click! Click!"

The electric current spread to Tony Stark Tony Stark's Mecha, causing some Mecha, but Ivan's whip remained firmly in Tony Stark's grasp.

"You just called me a woman, didn't you?" Tony Stark looked at Ivan and sneered, saying disdainfully, "You made the Mecha so bulky, you're not planning to make Mecha a melee fighter, are you? Fine, I'll show you just how ridiculous your plan is!"

With a "whoosh!", as Tony Stark finished speaking, the Mecha's power system suddenly surged, its advanced technology allowing the seemingly frail Mecha to unleash power far exceeding that of the Ivan Mecha, actually pulling the Ivan Mecha towards Tony Stark's side.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Almost simultaneously, as Ivan's Mecha approached Tony Stark, both piloted their Mecha to attack each other. The difference was that Tony Stark successfully struck Ivan's Mecha, while Tony Stark easily dodged Ivan 'Mecha attack.

There was no way around it; the two sides were simply not on the same level in terms of speed and agility. Furthermore, after continuous iterations, Tony Stark's Mecha was far more powerful than the Mecha that Ivan had painstakingly created!

It can only be said that Tony Stark is far ahead of Ivan at this point. Ivan has already tried his best, and perhaps after two or three iterations, he will be able to surpass Tony Stark's brand-new Mecha. Of course, he may not be as powerful in terms of firepower, but in terms of strength and defense, he will definitely not be at a disadvantage...

Unfortunately, it seems Ivan won't have another chance for iteration!

"Damn it! Is all you can do is dodge like a woman?" As the Mecha flew out, crashed through the wall, and climbed back up, Ivan's heart sank, and he continued to yell at Tony Stark.

With a loud "Bang!", Tony Stark's attack came faster than Ivan had anticipated, sending Ivan's Mecha flying once more. This time, however, Ivan Mecha soared into the sky. To prevent Ivan from resorting to Extremis in a desperate situation, Tony Stark decisively shifted the focus of the battle. After all, if Ivan were to self-destruct, it wouldn't just be a matter of destroying a single building...
