The Statue of Liberty held them pinched in midair, tilted upward at a forty-five-degree angle, her mouth slightly open as she went "Ahh~," signaling them to cut the crap and hurry up with the offering.
Deadpool paused for a moment, and only after seeing Tony make a gesture did he reluctantly toss the lollipop in.
"Aw, my brand-new lollipop. I didn't even get to lick it once."
Nom~
The Statue of Liberty closed her eyes, her cheeks puffed out as if savoring the lollipop's flavor, and her fingers naturally loosened.
Seizing the chance, Tony grabbed Deadpool and Constantine and hurriedly activated his armor's intelligent system. With a crash, they smashed through the observation deck window and flew inside.
At that very instant, the mental disruption imposed on them vanished in a flash.
"Wow, I can move freely again!"
Deadpool flipped up from the floor, excitedly feeling Constantine's pecs.
"."
Pushing Deadpool's arm away, Constantine also broke into a smile.
Checking the power level, Tony found there was still 47% left and, satisfied, opened his faceplate to take a breath of fresh air.
The three of them acted as if no one else was around and were just about to celebrate.
"Ahem!"
A low voice came out of the darkness as the Pig Talisman seized from Spider-Man was tossed up and down.
"This world is always full of all kinds of accidents. Spider-Man was one. Now, you are the second."
A black-and-gold cane rose from the shadows, and Valmont swung it heavily forward.
"But now, this play has reached the time for its curtain call.
Hak Foo, Chow, Finn, Ratso, the four of you work with the Shadowkhan and get rid of them. I'll be leaving first."
Valmont glanced at the three of them with elegant posture and a calm expression.
