Combat

"Remember, your job is to stall him as much as possible, then leave the rest to me after you go through the portal."

On the way, Feeney explained the plan to Tony. If the opponent equipped the armor, Tony would go first, and he would open the portal from behind. Once teleported to the battlefield, the real fight would begin.

"Don't you have that little faith in me!?" Tony was somewhat displeased with Feeney's arrangement. He didn't think he was no match for Obadiah, but considering safety, he eventually agreed to the plan. However, he still retorted, "The creator of the Iron Armor is on your side."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Feeney responded perfunctorily. In reality, given Tony's current state, he did have the strength to fight the Iron Monger. Although his Arc Reactor was the first generation, it was still full of energy during the time they spent at home earlier.

With the agility of the Mark II and the advantage of technology, even if it wasn't a complete stomp, it should be a fair fight against the Iron Monger.

The two of them infiltrated recklessly. There wasn't much difference between opening doors with an ID card and Tony breaking through them directly, so there was no need to hide.

Just as they expected, the moment Obadiah obtained the Arc Reactor, he didn't have people research the replication technology. Instead, he first tested whether it was suitable for the Iron Monger.

After all, the technology for the Arc Reactor had always been there; it was just a matter of miniaturizing it. But its suitability for the Iron Man Armor was the most crucial part.

Therefore, as soon as they entered the factory, they immediately saw the Iron Monger, which was several times larger than the Mark II and looked somewhat bulky.

"So ugly!"

Looking at the Iron Monger, Tony was like a child whose toy had been snatched away. He grumbled, "It's an insult to my technology. Even my Mark I looks much better than this."

"Stop messing around. He modified it according to the Mark I blueprints, you know." Feeney mercilessly debunked him from the side.

"That just means he changed all the good parts."

When it came to arguing, Tony rarely lost.

Since they had finally found their target, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and even had the leisure to joke around.

Their bickering also alerted Obadiah, who was testing the armor. From within the massive suit, Obadiah's arrogant voice boomed, "Tony, I didn't expect you to still be alive. Did Pepper save you? Actually, you should have just found peace there. Look at this, it's much stronger than your little toy."

"No, apart from being much uglier than me, you're probably not good at anything else!" Tony's personality dictated that he wouldn't be so conventional, and he even started arguing with Obadiah.

Fortunately, Obadiah wasn't that unreliable. Facing both Feeney and Tony, he clearly knew they weren't there to chat.

"Tony, you shouldn't have come. Is this the helper you found?" Obadiah glanced at the silent Feeney and continued, "Tony, let me tell you today, you can't do everything best."

"You've improved your technology, and I've improved mine. I have more power and I'm stronger than you."

With that, he charged forward with large strides, forcing Tony to complain to Feeney, "He improved my technology too, you know. And it's completely weakened."

"Stop the nonsense, he's coming."

Although 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' focused on defense, Feeney had no intention of being beaten. Seeing Obadiah approaching, he immediately used the Soaring Skill to ascend and retreat, preparing to open the portal.

"It's past closing time, and there shouldn't be anyone here. Let me have a go with him first, and then you can open your little fire door."

Tony was still the same Tony Stark. His arrogant personality made him change Feeney's combat plan, insisting on comparing himself with Obadiah, perhaps to prove that he was the best.

Feeney gritted his teeth and shot Tony, who had also charged forward, a fierce look. He somewhat helplessly retracted his gesture.

His control over the portal wasn't proficient enough to freely control its position. Given the Iron Monger's size, opening a large portal was already troublesome. Without Tony to distract him, it wouldn't be easy to make the Iron Monger jump in on its own.

Watching the two Iron Men battle below, Feeney felt a bit bored and considered joining in. However, after much deliberation, he gave up the idea.

At the same time, he secretly resolved never to cooperate with Tony in combat again.

If it weren't for the desire to gain more experience points and the eighty-five Mark Series armors in the future, why would he have to put himself through such indignity by being called upon at any time? Feeney thought to himself.

As time passed, the battle between the two escalated, and the commotion grew. After all, they were modern weapons. Bombs, machine guns, and energy cannons – none of them had low destructive power.

This was also why Feeney didn't want to join in. It was easier to dodge when he was alone, but if they were together, he could easily get caught in friendly fire.

"Tony!"

Seeing the battle intensifying, Feeney frowned and shouted at Tony, reminding him that it couldn't go on like this.

Hearing Feeney's call, and realizing that he hadn't defeated the Iron Monger for a long time, Tony stopped being willful. He turned around, preparing to return to Feeney's side and proceed with the plan.

However, Obadiah misunderstood Tony's actions, thinking Tony wanted to escape. After the previous battle, he had to admit that his meticulously improved Iron Monger wasn't much stronger than Tony's, at least in terms of agility.

This made Obadiah very unhappy. At the same time, he regretted not killing Tony directly earlier and became more determined not to let Tony escape again.

"Tony, I built this company from scratch. I absolutely cannot watch you destroy it. You must die here today."

Obadiah unleashed all the weapons on his body, firing all sorts of bombs at Tony. Feeney's scalp tingled at the sight. Without a word, he quickly ascended, moving away from the area.

Facing so many attacks, Tony was clearly startled. Seeing Feeney unhesitatingly abandon him, he cursed inwardly. With no time to think, his eyes frantically searched for cover.

"Boom!"

Flames soared into the sky. The commotion caused by the explosion almost shook the entire New York, let alone the bustling Manhattan area.

There are always people who court death in the world, especially someone as controversial as Stark. Reporters stationed nearby had noticed the commotion long ago and rushed over to court death without hesitation.

The defense zone, already damaged by the two of them, couldn't stop the resourceful reporters, who thus discovered Tony and Obadiah in a fierce battle.

Looking at the battlefield filled with artillery fire, a normal person would usually think of escaping immediately. But how many reporters were normal people? Their first reaction upon seeing it was excitement at finding a major news story.

Because they were wearing armor, the two were not recognized. However, this did not prevent the reporters from realizing that they definitely belonged to Stark. They believed this would bring Stark Industries, which had been losing some of its heat, back to the headlines.

For money and news, these reporters actually started a live broadcast right there, leaving Feeney, who had returned to the battlefield, dumbfounded.

"Really..."

Feeney didn't know how to describe them. Should he call them dedicated or reckless?

Before coming, Feeney had thought that with his participation this time, Tony's identity might not be exposed. But plans never keep up with changes. Who knew it would turn out like this?

Or perhaps, given Tony's flamboyant personality, becoming the publicly known Iron Man was bound to happen sooner or later!?
