Fate, Wonderful Beyond Words

Storm Bow: A weapon belonging to Hanzo, this hunting bow can fire arrows with various functions. It deals massive headshot damage, fires only single shots, and has infinite ammunition.

"Wind!" William raised the Storm Bow, nocked an arrow to the string, and aimed at the Iron Monger, who was locked in a fierce battle with Iron Man in the distance.

Wind: Fires a lethal arrow at the enemy using the Storm Bow. The damage and range of the arrow vary based on the charge level; after charging, both accuracy and damage are increased.

Note: The trajectory has a delay; attacks require pre-emptive aiming.

Hanzo is truly one of the hardest heroes to master in Overwatch. Back when he played the game, William rarely dared to pick this hero—partly because he wasn't good at it, and partly because he would get flamed by other players for his poor performance.

In recent days, whenever William had time, he practiced as Hanzo in the Virtual Training Grounds. By now, hitting a Training Bot from a hundred meters away twice out of ten shots was considered quite decent, let alone landing a headshot.

Moreover, he was currently standing on the roof of Stark Industries, well over a hundred meters away from the clashing Iron Man and Iron Monger. Whether he could hit anything was entirely up to luck!

"My arrows will find you!"

William fired three consecutive shots and missed every single one. One arrow hit the ground before it even reached the highway, one struck an unlucky taxi, and another landed right at the feet of the Iron Monger.

Coulson covered his face with one hand and said, "Did an art teacher teach you how to shoot? You're a master of outlining human silhouettes!"

William's abysmal archery left Coulson feeling deeply depressed. If only Hawkeye were here; he would certainly be more reliable than this guy.

"To tell you the truth, my archery is entirely based on fate." William aimed unhurriedly at the Iron Monger's head, pulled back the bowstring, and fired another shot.

Just as Coulson was about to say something, he saw from afar that William's arrow seemed to have struck the Iron Monger.

Although the Iron Monger was a crude, rushed job put together by engineers overnight, its defensive capabilities were astonishing—even more durable than Iron Man. However, the Iron Monger also had many flaws, such as its exposed mechanical joints.

William's arrow was clearly aimed at its head, but who could have guessed it would strike its knee instead?

"Heh heh." William laughed awkwardly. "See, I told you—fate is truly mysterious!"

The Iron Monger's combat power and defense were both superior to Iron Man's. Furthermore, Iron Man was already low on power and had been at a disadvantage the entire time.

Obadiah Stane was triumphant, mocking Tony as he watched victory within his grasp, until his knee took an arrow!

The exposed knee joint was struck instantly, and the arrow wedged itself between two gears, causing the Iron Monger's leg to lose all power. He suddenly dropped into a half-crouch.

Iron Man seized the opportunity to attack, punching the Iron Monger in the face, but the Iron Monger grabbed his arm and threw him away.

"Who? Who is ambushing me?" The Iron Monger pulled the arrow from his knee and roared in fury.

Obadiah Stane scanned his surroundings and discovered that many arrows were scattered on the ground. Could an archer have been ambushing him this whole time?

He searched everywhere, but the area was filled with chaotic traffic; it was impossible for an archer to be hiding there. If an archer wanted to attack him, they would surely seek a high vantage point, and if that were the case...

Just as he was about to piece the answer together, the thrusters on Iron Man's suit erupted with powerful propulsion, launching him into mid-air. Simultaneously, he raised both hands and attacked the Iron Monger with his Arc Pulse Cannon.

"Tony, I admit you're a genius. But I've also upgraded my armor!" Obadiah Stane laughed. The thrusters beneath the Iron Monger's feet kicked up a massive gust of wind as he flew toward Iron Man.

Tony was stunned. He had assumed that as long as he stayed in the air, Obadiah Stane couldn't hit him, but he hadn't expected the Iron Monger's armor to be modified as well. Obadiah Stane's laughter sounded like a mockery: "Stupid, I can fly too!"

Iron Man and the Iron Monger shot into the sky, soaring into the clouds amidst a deafening roar.

"They're flying away!" Coulson said, holding his binoculars. William put away his bow and watched the two black dots disappear into the horizon.

Although he couldn't see what was happening in the sky, he could imagine how it would play out.

"Come on, chase me! If you catch me, I'll let you do whatever you want."

Iron Man and the Iron Monger chased each other in the sky. The Iron Monger certainly wouldn't let him go easily. They would fly all the way to the stratosphere, the Iron Monger would gradually freeze and plummet from the sky, and Iron Man would run out of power and fall as well, both of them crashing to the ground.

Finally, the end of the show.

Just kidding. William knew the battle wasn't over yet. He quickly said to Coulson, "Coulson, go down and protect Ms. Potts immediately. Also, notify S.H.I.E.L.D. and Director Fury. Leave this to me!"

"Can you handle it alone?" Coulson looked at William with skeptical eyes.

William smiled slightly without answering. He gripped the Storm Bow and sprinted toward the edge of the rooftop, then leaped into the night air and vanished.

"Is this guy crazy?" Coulson ran over, hoping William hadn't fallen to his death, but when he looked down, there was no sign of him.

Recalling what William had just said, he immediately ran downstairs. The Iron Monger had already killed three agents; they needed backup. More importantly, he had to seal off this area immediately—he couldn't let the public know what had happened here!

Was William trying to commit suicide by jumping off the building?

Hardly. At this moment, he was scaling the wall of Stark Industries rapidly, like a nimble spider.

This was an ability from the Overwatch hero Hanzo. Hanzo possessed high-tech gear on his hands and feet that allowed him to scale walls and move across surfaces quickly, enhancing his mobility and agility.

William knew that the roof of Stark Industries would soon become the center of the battlefield, not to mention the high probability of an explosion. Staying on the roof was extremely unsafe, so he needed to familiarize himself with the terrain beforehand.

But Hanzo's wall-climb wasn't as simple as it looked; he had nearly fallen just a moment ago. Looking at the traffic below, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

As if archery wasn't hard enough, the wall-climbing was difficult too. Hanzo truly lived up to his reputation as a hero full of malice!

Tony scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state. He had exhausted his power in the air and nearly thought he was going to die, but thanks to his emergency backup power, he had managed to land alive.

However, his landing posture wasn't very graceful—he had landed head-first with his rear in the air, looking as if he were waiting for someone to come over.

"Pepper, are you okay?" Shaking his head to clear his mind, the first thing Tony did was call Pepper.

"I'm safe," Pepper replied with an emotional tone. "Agent Coulson is protecting me. Are you alright?"

Tony opened his faceplate, took a breath, and said, "My armor is running out of power. I need to get it off immediately."

Just then, he heard some movement not far away. Could Obadiah Stane still be alive?

Tony lowered his faceplate again, and the eyes of the Iron Man suit lit up. He saw a figure emerging from the darkness.

It was a mysterious man in strange attire, with his hair tied up and his left chest exposed, revealing a dragon tattoo like that of a gang boss. What surprised him even more was that the man was holding a longbow!

"Mr. Stark, it's been a long time!"

Everything is up to fate~
