The Dark Creature Afraid of the Dark
Of course, no force was foolish enough to stand up and demand that Tony Stark hand over the secrets of the Mecha's creation, because that would undoubtedly break certain unspoken rules. And, most importantly, all the forces present had obtained the Ivan Mecha this time...
Since Tony Stark could give his Mecha nuclear-level destructive power, surely these forces couldn't possibly fail to replicate Ivan's Mecha if they obtained it? With so many margins of error, how could they possibly succeed? Besides, even if they couldn't reach Tony Stark's current level, achieving even half of it would still be a powerful strategic weapon!
Furthermore, there's another important reason why these forces haven't forced Tony Stark to hand over the secrets of Mecha manufacturing: Tony Stark Mecha n't mentioned Ivan Ivan Mecha either, tacitly allowing everyone to take it away for research. Isn't this also adhering to a tacitly agreed-upon rule?
Even Tony Stark, possessing a nuclear-powered Mecha, is willing to abide by the unspoken rules established by everyone. What reason do these forces have not to? Moreover, no force is willing to openly break ties with Tony Stark, who possesses such a powerful Mecha...
"How many enemies are there like this?" Soon, someone looked at Tony Stark and asked, "What price do you have to pay to deal with a powerhouse of this level?"
"Have you already seen the price? Nearly a hundred Mecha are gone just like that, and they weren't even the first-generation ones. Among them were the most powerful Mecha that I developed. You can calculate the cost you would have spent building your own Mecha..." Tony Stark shrugged, speaking calmly, but many factions felt a pang of heartache for Tony Stark upon hearing Tony Stark words.
Especially those forces represented by the military, they are also conducting research on Mecha, and they know all too well how much it costs to build a Mecha.
"As for how many such enemies there are, who can know? There have been more and more extraordinary events in the past two years. Don't tell me you don't know, especially those Demon from hell. They are the real threat to Earth!" Tony Stark continued, seeing that many forces had fallen silent.
"I imagine you've had quite a bit of contact with those Demon. You should know what their purposes are in coming to Earth. We are natural enemies, with no room for maneuver whatsoever!"
"As far as I know, the only ones I can deal with are Demon King -level Demon, and not even the really powerful ones. My Mecha can't withstand the attacks of the stronger ones. And above Demon King, there are even more powerful beings!"
"Therefore, I hope you can focus your efforts on the right path and stop thinking about nonsense all day long. If the earth is taken over by these Demon, no matter how many ulterior motives you have, you won't be able to carry them out..."
"That's right, we need to prevent these kinds of things from happening, so we need to allocate special funds to S.H.I.E.L.D..! We need to increase our research on Demon and supernatural events!" Nick Fury immediately chimed in as soon as Tony Stark finished speaking.
"Heh, what is S.H.I.E.L.D..? What can S. H. I. E. L. D. do, can't we, the A.R.G.U.S. S.H.I.E.L.D., do?" A.R.G.U.S. Commander Amanda Waller interrupted Nick Fury dismissively.
As soon as the two finished speaking, some other Official Agencies also began to try their luck. They weren't enthusiastic when it came to asking for money, but they really had something wrong with their brains!
"Alright! None of you have accomplished anything. You're always there when it comes to money, but when it comes to actually getting things done, you never succeed!" The Pentagon staff sneered, interrupting the agencies that were about to speak.
"So, did you succeed?" someone immediately retorted, showing no respect whatsoever to the Pentagon officials.
"At least our military has never lost a battle!"
"The military has never lost a battle? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
Soon, starting with Nick Fury demanding money, various organizations and forces started arguing again. This shows that even with the existence of external threats like Demon, it is still impossible to eliminate the dissent and get these forces to cooperate.
Especially for these forces, when external threats are insufficient to completely shake their position, power and interests are still more important. Their current commotion is precisely about vying for these two things...
Seeing this, Tony Stark shook his head helplessly. However, this was the norm, and he was used to it. Although Tony Stark had hoped that things would improve when there was Demon threat before, it seemed that everyone was indeed taking it more seriously now. But the purpose of taking it seriously was ultimately just to gain power and benefits for themselves.
From that moment on, the original purpose of the meeting was lost. Tony Stark, too lazy to waste any more words, used his high-tech headphones to block out the surrounding noise and closed his eyes to sleep.
The previous battle with General Samo had not only exhausted Tony Stark's Mecha but also drained his mental energy and left him with some injuries. Although the injuries weren't too serious, without Robet's Healing Spell, Tony Stark was still quite tired. So, when faced with something so uninteresting, it was best to take a nap and get some rest...
Meanwhile, Robet brought General Samo to a high altitude and used Telekinesis telekinesis to keep General Samo trapped. After that, Robet bought a rice cooker and returned. This series of actions completely baffled General Samo, especially since, although he had been General Samo for quite some time, he knew what a rice cooker was from Obadiah's memories.
"Is he planning to eat me? I can't cook him, can I?" General Samo's thoughts wandered aimlessly, especially when he saw Robet drawing incomprehensible symbols on the rice cooker. General Samo's mind raced even further, because he genuinely had no idea what Robet's purpose was. Surely Robet couldn't possibly be planning to kill him with a rice cooker, could he?
Besides, it would be too embarrassing if word got out that someone was actually killed by a rice cooker!
However, General Samo quickly abandoned such absurd thoughts, because his current situation no longer supported him doing so.
Robet used the Evil Containment Wave once again. Even in this world, the Evil Containment Wave is still considered an unsolvable, bug-like sealing technique. Under the Evil Containment Wave, General Samo followed in the footsteps of General Bart.
When he was sealed inside the rice cooker and lost his connection with the dark Inter-dimensional Space, General Samo was filled with terror. At the same time, he realized why General Bart had harbored resentment towards Robet. There was no other way; dying in this way was simply too humiliating!
Yes, it wasn't resentment, but rather a feeling of being stifled!
General Samo was a powerful Demon King, one of the commanders of the Shadowkhan. Even in the Dark Dimension, he was a well-known figure. How could he die like this?
However, no matter what General Samo thought, it couldn't change his inevitable fate. This time, Robet didn't even release General Samo from the rice cooker to let him leave his last words. Instead, he directly bombed the rice cooker and General Samo inside together.
After all, the feasibility of this tactic had already been proven on General Bart, so some useless operations could be ruled out. It's just that doing this is a bit wasteful of the rice cooker.
"Boom!" With a loud explosion high in the sky, General Samo was gone.
"Should I pack a rice cooker on me? After all, there's room to carry things inside the Battle Suit..." Watching General Samo and the rice cooker turn to ashes and disappear, Robet stroked his chin and looked at the wrist guard on his arm, muttering to himself, "But the rice cooker does seem a bit too big. I could use some small bottles or something, since the Evil Containment Wave doesn't have any requirements regarding container volume."
With that thought, Robet vanished in a flash. He went to prepare for the event, first drawing several small bottles with sealing symbols and placing them in the bracers on his arm, so that he wouldn't need to search for containers everywhere when using the Evil Containment Wave in the future.
At the same time, not long after the last time he devoured Demon, Tarak's expression suddenly changed. He looked towards the sky and could not calm down for a long time.
General Bart's death had already shocked Tarak once, but this time, Tarak was undoubtedly even more shocked!
After all, the death of General Bart could have been due to some accident, or perhaps he genuinely encountered an General Bart far too powerful to defeat, which led to his death...
But now, General Samo's death undoubtedly tells Tarak that General Bart's death was not an accident. Someone really has the ability to kill the Shadowkhan Commander, and it's even possible that the other party is targeting them. Otherwise, there's no reason why two commanders would be killed so quickly!
"Why? Who is it? Why are they targeting us?" After a long while, Tarak finally came to her senses, but Tarak eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment. She kept muttering to herself, "Although the relationships Inter-dimensional Space aren't exactly friendly, we in the Dark Dimension Dark Dimension don't have any specific nemesis. There's no reason for anyone to be targeting us!"
"Moreover, we are now half-Earth life forms, and we are still in a sealed state. Even I don't know where they have been thrown into some dark corner. How is it that this guy was able to find them twice and kill them?"
"Hmm? Could it be a conspiracy from Earth Dimension? But that doesn't make sense. Sealing us is understandable; perhaps the time isn't right, or they're worried we'll cause trouble on Earth and disrupt its order. But killing us, especially those of us whose seals haven't been broken, makes absolutely no sense..."
Tarak was bewildered. He sensed a deep malice emanating from this world, yet he had clearly cleared his name and gone ashore. The Dark Dimension behind him had even made some kind of deal, or even cooperated, with the Earth Dimension. Why was things like this now?
No one could answer Tarak's confusion. The Earth Dimension couldn't step forward and tell Tarak that it wasn't responsible, that there was no conspiracy, and that Robet just happened to encounter two people from the Dark Dimension and happened to be able to kill them...
If Tarak were at his peak, he could barely communicate with the Earth Dimension, but unfortunately, Tarak hasn't even truly broken through the seal yet, and his strength is quite limited. Otherwise, he wouldn't have set his sights on those Demon who aren't even Demon King...
"No! I must recover my strength as soon as possible, and even regain my freedom. If I continue to die like this, our plan will be completely hopeless!" After a while, the confusion in Tarak's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a resolute look. His figure flashed and disappeared.
"Damn it! Why? Why is another one dead?!" At the same time, in Batman's Batcave, General Ika couldn't help but shout out again, because he had also sensed General Samo's death.
When General Bart died last time, it terrified General Ika. Even though General Ika gradually calmed down after being comforted and threatened by Batman, and promised not to shout unless in danger, this time General Ika still couldn't hold back...
General Ika was utterly terrified. He felt he was in danger and might die suddenly like his two companions!
"Your companion is dead again? How long has it been?" Batman reappeared in front of General Ika shortly afterward. To be honest, Batman was also somewhat surprised. Having a fairly good understanding of the Dark Dimension, he knew just how difficult it was to kill someone like General Ika.
Of course, the difficulty isn't the key point. Judging from General Ika's reaction to the deaths of his comrades on these two occasions, he genuinely couldn't know their location. If General Ika couldn't find them, how could this mysterious guy kill two Shadowkhan Commander in such a short time? Batman thinks this guy might have some way to find General Ika and his comrades!
That's why Batman didn't reprimand General Ika this time, because if that were the case, General Ika would indeed be in danger...
"Yes, another one dead. How could this be? Is someone really hunting us down?!" General Ika's Mask trembled slightly. Even with Batman's presence, he didn't feel much sense of security, especially since Batman was dressed in this outfit and was used to standing in the dark.
Even though he was a being of the Dark Dimension, General Ika still felt a chill run down his spine upon learning of his companion's death. He felt that danger lurked everywhere in the darkness, and he was afraid that someone might suddenly emerge from the shadows and send him to meet General Bart and General Samo...
