Fang Bie watched their overwhelming performance with some confusion. How had the Iron Monger, who in the original story had been invincible, ruling the skies and the earth, and looking down on everything, suddenly become so weak?
They didn't even seem to have used their real tricks yet, but the middle-aged, bald, portly man was already panicking.
"Yinsen, switch to auto-targeting and take out all these mercenaries!" Tony hid behind the door, watching the soldiers still holding their guns and firing wildly in every direction.
He knew they had to deal with the soldiers, or the ricocheting bullets would pose a huge threat to them!
"Okay!" Yinsen's voice was as calm as ever. The doctor had performed countless surgeries, and his hands never shook, not even when he was killing someone.
"Assisted targeting program ready. Aim. Fire!" Jarvis's voice rang in everyone's ears like a ghost. By the time the soldiers heard it, their heads had already burst open.
"Get in the car! Blow this place to hell!" Obadiah held a strange device and forcibly ejected the Lightsaber that was stuck in the front of the car.
Fang Bie didn't have much trouble spotting the Lightsaber in the grass nearby, but it seemed to have run out of energy and no longer glowed.
Obadiah had clearly sensed the threat they posed and decided to use his last resort!
"Obie, I think you should reconsider!" Wearing his Iron Armor, Tony slowly emerged from the elevator below. Coulson, carrying a rifle, came out with him, as did Fang Bie, holding a simple remote control, and Yinsen, who walked with difficulty, each step incredibly heavy.
"Are you trying to blow all of us sky-high?" Tony was still making one last effort, but Fang Bie had already quietly slipped beneath Obadiah.
Bzzzt! Another piercing sound rang out. Obadiah's body suddenly stiffened as Fang Bie leaped out from behind him and took the Sonic Paralysis Tool from his waist.
"Your gadget really works well, doesn't it?" Fang Bie said slowly, then slammed the button on the remote control!
Boom! Explosions rang out one after another. More than ten cars burst into sparks and fragments right before everyone's eyes.
The once-arrogant Obadiah Stane lost every last one of his trump cards in a daze.
Fang Bie handed Obadiah over to Tony, then quietly filled in the hole he had dug earlier.
By now, he had figured out what set Obadiah apart from his movie counterpart.
The Obadiah in the movie had been riding high, with everything under his control. If Tony hadn't had the protagonist's luck on his side, he wouldn't have won by such a narrow margin.
But here, Fang Bie had given Tony special Minecraft abilities. Combined with Tony's own intelligence and Fang Bie's help, they were naturally unstoppable.
What's more, Fang Bie had constantly emphasized Tony's safety and the danger Obadiah posed. Since they were prepared while Obadiah wasn't, even when he caught them by surprise, they still had the upper hand!
And that was without even mentioning the other sounds coming from afar...
"Detective Coulson, all the enemies in the area have been apprehended." A muscular agent carrying a bow and arrow came over to them. The net Obadiah's men had thrown over the area had also been swept away by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s formidable capabilities.
Next came the conversation between Tony and the others. Thanks to his special status, Fang Bie slipped away once more!
"Peach Blossom Spring may be lovely, but it isn't a place to stay forever. Tony, I have to go," Fang Bie told Tony. He was already aboard a plane bound for the desert.
"I knew you wouldn't stay long, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon. All right, once I get things sorted out here, I'll come find you!" As he spoke, Tony placed a bank card in Fang Bie's hand.
"Before you leave, you should buy some necessities here. Otherwise..." He seemed to have had a bad experience himself, and gave a sly grin. "I don't want to show up next time and find you haven't even changed your clothes."
"Of course. But..." Fang Bie didn't even blush. His skin was thicker than the lid of Newton's coffin. "What about your Iron Armor? Don't tell me you were just bragging!"
"Tsk. Get on the plane first. I'll give you a surprise in a little while!" Tony said mysteriously, ushering them onto the plane.
"Fang, I think we've bought enough..." Yinsen said, scratching his head in dismay. His bald head still shone brightly.
"It's fine. As long as it fits in your Backpack, pack it all. We'll definitely find it useful back home!" Fang Bie took a window seat. "Jarvis, take off!"
"Certainly, Mr. Fang Bie. Please fasten your seat belt to avoid injury," Jarvis said. As the landing gear retracted, the plane truly took to the skies!
"Hey!" Fang Bie was enjoying the luxurious in-flight meal when he suddenly felt someone watching him. He turned around and saw a cheeky face pressed against the window, waving both hands at him.
"Ha!" Fang Bie laughed freely and waved back. That really was quite the "surprise"!
He never imagined Tony had already built his Iron Armor. He'd gotten it done even faster than Fang Bie had expected.
The journey passed without incident. The three of them stood in front of the valley again, their eyes filled with mixed emotions as they looked at the hill, now indistinguishable from the surrounding desert.
"Hard to believe it's already been a month," Fang Bie said with a sigh.
"Yeah. I'd just finished operating on Tony back then," Yinsen said with a sigh.
"But now I'm a whole new man!" Tony, who wasn't feeling sentimental at all, stood on the mountaintop in his armor. "Now it's our time!"
"No, it's your time," Fang Bie said with a smile, correcting him as he reached out and opened a Stone on the mountaintop.
"Until next time!" Fang Bie clearly realized that the moment he truly stepped into this world, the time stop had ended. That meant that from then on, time should flow at the same rate for all of them.
"Sure! Remember to save me a lab!" Tony took a box from his Inventory. "A gift from Pepper for you two. Keep it!"
With that, he flew off without another word of farewell.
"Heh, what a stubborn guy." Fang Bie and Yinsen smiled at each other, then walked down the stairs. The mountain was covered in Lava, and no one but them would know how to undo it.
The Minecraft world—he, Fang Bie, had returned!
Tony hadn't gone far when a hand in a yellow robe stopped him.
"Tony Stark? Would you have time for a talk?" The Yellow-robed Man removed his hood, revealing a gleaming bald head.
"Oh?" Tony frowned. "Sure!"
He saw the Yellow-robed Man standing in midair, with nothing supporting him!
The man who wouldn't have come close to learning the truth until ten years later had unexpectedly encountered one part of it...
