At the sight of this, Tony Stark swallowed involuntarily.

The footage in the report really hadn't been AI-generated or fabricated.

The information recorded in it was actually true!

In fact, compared to reality, it had even understated things!

At least the report hadn't mentioned that the White Devil's strength was so astonishing he could knock the Iron Monger flying with a single punch!

As the designer of the Iron Man armor, Tony could roughly estimate the Iron Monger's weight from its size. Knocking it flying with one punch was something even the Mark III couldn't do. This was strength no human could possibly possess!

Looking at the White Devil's seemingly slender arm, Tony Stark felt the full extent of his ignorance for the first time...

After knocking the Iron Monger flying with a single punch, Su Mu flexed his hand. He hadn't expected to land a Black Flash on his very first attack.

This also confirmed his guess: with Energy Absorption in addition to Gojo Satoru's abilities, he had even greater control over energy. There was a good chance he could eventually unleash Black Flash with perfect consistency!

That meant his attacks would always deal 2.5 times their original power!

It was an undoubtedly terrifying increase!

Ignoring Tony Stark, who stood frozen nearby, Su Mu slowly headed toward the road. He passed through the gap in the wall, followed the path the Iron Monger's body had carved out, and gradually reached the road.

As he slowly approached, the Iron Monger clearly sensed him. It fired a barrage of ammunition and missiles at him, but they were all stopped by the Limitless Technique and couldn't get any closer.

By the time he reached the roadside, the bystanders had recovered and stopped approaching. The road was now empty, save for Su Mu walking slowly forward and the Iron Monger firing relentlessly.

The fearless onlookers watched curiously from a distance, and some even pulled out their phones to record.

When they saw Su Mu appear, someone immediately recognized him.

"The White Devil! Why is he here?"

"Is he fighting that steel giant?"

"That steel monster was the one he just knocked flying. How did he do that?"

The bystanders immediately erupted in a flurry of questions.

By sheer coincidence, in a Chevrolet parked in the distance, a middle-aged man looked so excited he could hardly contain himself. He quickly took out professional filming equipment and pointed it toward Su Mu.

That's right, this man was none other than the future Venom, Eddie Brock.

He was thrilled, repeatedly praising the goddess of fortune in his heart for letting him witness the White Devil in action again!

The earlier news report had already made him a hotshot at the Global Daily. If he could film the White Devil in combat again, he might get promoted, earn a raise, and reach the pinnacle of his life!

Through his camera, he watched the White Devil slowly approach the steel giant. The real show was about to begin!

Obadiah stared at the screen in shock as the system blared warnings:

"Warning! Warning! Hull damage: 36%... Hull damage: 36%!"

That single punch had nearly destroyed the Iron Monger's chest armor. How was that possible?!

The metal used to assemble the Iron Monger was ten centimeters of Titanium Alloy. That much Titanium Alloy could withstand a high-yield missile without being pierced, yet now a human had nearly destroyed it with one punch. Was he really human?

Obadiah deeply regretted his decision. The Global Daily's report had been true after all!

If he'd known, he would never have picked a fight with the White Devil. He would have been willing to offer one billion, even two billion dollars.

But it was too late. Now he could only do everything in his power to kill the White Devil.

The White Devil's bizarre defensive ability couldn't possibly be limitless. If Obadiah kept his distance and wore him down with ammunition, he could definitely kill him!

Just as Obadiah was about to put his plan into action, he suddenly realized that the White Devil had vanished from in front of him.

When the system sounded its next warning, he saw the White Devil appear right in front of him, gazing at him coldly. His right hand was clenched into a fist, with an unknown azure energy spilling from it.

It was the very attack that had just sent him flying!

Obadiah tried desperately to dodge, but they were too close, and the Iron Monger was too heavy to evade the White Devil's next attack!

And if that attack hit, the Iron Monger's chest armor would shatter instantly. Obadiah, in the cockpit, would never survive!

No!

No!

Don't!

He watched the fist draw closer in despair, as if he were watching his own death approach.

Under his wide-eyed stare, the fist wreathed in azure energy struck the Iron Monger, sending it flying once again.

But unlike last time, no black lightning erupted. The Iron Monger was knocked back only a few meters before coming to a stop.

Obadiah immediately made the Iron Monger stand up and checked the hull damage.

"Warning! Warning! Hull damage: 38%... Hull damage: 38%!"

That punch had only caused an additional 2% damage.

Obadiah immediately realized what was going on and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! You can't unleash that terrifying black lightning whenever you want, can you?

"Did that first attack consume a huge amount of your stamina? You can't use it a second time now!"

Once he realized the White Devil wasn't as powerful as he'd imagined, Obadiah's fear vanished in an instant. He continued firing furiously at Su Mu.

"Come on! Let's see how long you can hold out under this hail of bullets!"

Tony Stark had also come through the gap in the wall by the roadside. He'd seen the entire scene unfold.

"Damn! The black lightning attack can't be used in succession. If Obadiah keeps wearing the White Devil down, he really might win!"

Tony was suddenly filled with dread. The Arc Reactor in his chest had only 2% energy left, not enough to keep the Mark III fighting. If Obadiah won, Tony wouldn't be able to fight back at all. He could only wait to die in despair.

"Damn it!"

The onlookers in the distance had also seen what was happening. The White Devil's punch had only knocked the steel giant away, and the giant seemed to have taken no damage at all. It stood right back up and fired furiously at the White Devil.

They immediately began to speculate:

"The White Devil can take on humans, but he's no match for technology!"

"Exactly! That steel giant must be the military's doing. The military is attacking the White Devil. He's about to be killed by that steel giant!"

Among the crowd, the small number of Mutants who had kept their identities hidden couldn't help but look despairing at the sight.

"Are Mutants really no match for the government? Are we doomed to be oppressed, unable to stand up for ourselves?"

Everyone thought the White Devil was about to be defeated. But then something unexpected happened...
