Tony had just called Su Zheng again.

At that moment, Su Zheng had flown into the sky, watching everything happening below.

After hearing Su Zheng's words, Tony's originally despairing expression suddenly turned into a delighted smile.

A relieved expression appeared on his face.

With Su Zheng here, everything was under control!

He had originally been planning to make another will.

After all, he had torn up his previous will.

Now there was no need. Ivan was the one who needed to make a will.

Tony wasn't the only one who knew Su Zheng had arrived.

Director Fury saw him as well. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his face no longer looked quite so dark.

Uh... no, it was still just as dark.

But he felt completely at ease now. With Su Zheng here, everything was under control!

Hawkeye let out a long breath. The muscles throughout his tense body relaxed, and he put his arrowless bow back over his shoulder.

Natasha felt her entire body relax. Looking at Su Zheng silhouetted against the sunlight, she only thought he looked incredibly handsome right now.

Those features, that physique, that presence—he was simply her dream man!

Su Zheng's eyes were wild and unruly. His entire body radiated the confidence of someone in complete control of the situation, like Superman saving the world.

Ivan naturally saw Su Zheng in the sky as well.

At that moment, he was inside an Iron Suit even larger than usual. His suit stood a full three meters tall and was covered from head to toe in weapons: Hellfire Missiles, oversized Gatling guns, million-volt electric whips, and more!

He had every high-damage weapon imaginable.

But the instant he saw Su Zheng, he did not attack him.

His expression was extremely ugly.

Then, he began commanding all the unmanned Iron Suits.

"Stay still! Stop chasing Tony!"

"Fire every missile we have!"

After the fighting with Tony and the others, there were still more than two hundred Iron Suits at the scene.

They all hovered in midair as their mechanical armor opened one after another, revealing countless pitch-black launch barrels!

A huge number of missiles fired out in an instant.

Countless missiles trailed dazzling, brilliant flames behind them.

Most shot toward Tony, while a smaller portion flew at Fury and the others.

The missiles blotted out the sky and filled Tony's entire field of vision.

Su Zheng snapped his fingers, imitating Thanos.

"Snap!"

All the missiles, along with every Iron Suit, abruptly froze in place. It was as though time itself had stopped.

The nearest missile was only one meter away from Tony!

Behind that missile, its roaring flames still burned fiercely. Its immense thrust was enough to propel it beyond the speed of sound.

Yet in front of Tony, it could not advance even a single centimeter.

At that moment, Su Zheng's control over magnetic fields was roughly equivalent to Magneto in his prime, facing dozens of naval warships.

Then, under Su Zheng's control, every missile turned ninety degrees and shot straight into the sky.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

Countless explosions rang out. Terrifying flames devoured everything around them, and temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees made the air ripple in layers.

The explosion covered an area a full kilometer in radius, while the shockwave spread seven or eight kilometers farther.

Tony and the others looked up at the explosions from below and felt as though the world was ending.

Ivan looked at Tony, whom he had failed to hit, and sensed that he could no longer control the Iron Suits. His blood surged, his expression twisted with fury, and veins bulged across his forehead.

Because of Su Zheng, all his efforts had gone to waste.

Tony and the others felt as if they had just returned from the gates of hell.

Cold sweat poured down their foreheads.

Their entire bodies felt icy for several seconds.

Their bodies even trembled involuntarily.

That had been close—far too close. They had almost died.

Then came boundless gratitude toward Su Zheng.

Su Zheng glanced at the Iron Suit that stood out from the crowd, towering more than three meters high.

He knew the person inside had to be Ivan.

His right hand slowly clenched into a fist.

That towering Iron Suit began to twist. The screech of metal grinding against metal was painfully harsh and unbearable!

Then it became a lump of scrap metal, its volume reduced by seventy percent.

Large amounts of crimson blood flowed from the cracks.

Ivan was dead beyond any doubt.

After thinking it over, Su Zheng decided it was better to eliminate him, lest he cause trouble again.

But this time, he had also realized that this was the real world. Tony and the others could very easily die if they were careless.

If he had arrived a few minutes later, wouldn't Tony have been doomed?

At the very least, he couldn't think of any way Tony could have escaped death.

Without Ivan's control, all the Iron Suits stopped moving as well.

With a wave of Su Zheng's hand, all the Iron Suits flew behind him and landed steadily on the ground.

Although these more than two hundred Iron Suits had been mass-produced and weren't very powerful,

he could give them to Tony!

He could have Tony improve them and build his own hundred Iron Suits as soon as possible.

As long as these Iron Suits were hit by an ordinary shell, they would turn into scrap metal.

They did too little to improve his strength.

Iron Suits made by Tony were still better. After all, in Marvel, an Iron Suit could blow up an entire universe.

Tony quickly flew over to Su Zheng and said,

"Thank you so much. Otherwise, I would have..."

He did not dare finish the sentence. Su Zheng had truly saved his life, and if Su Zheng asked him to build another hundred Iron Suits...

He really might as well die.

He might as well have let Ivan kill him.

Tony said, "Thank you so much, Su Zheng. You saved all of our lives."

"You truly deserve the title of superhero! You really are so handso..."

Tony only wanted to praise Su Zheng so that he would forget about asking for repayment for saving his life.

There was no way around it—he couldn't afford it.

But Su Zheng was not about to let him muddle through it so easily. Completing the system mission was one thing; he wanted one action and two rewards.

Su Zheng said, "Ahem! I saved your life again, didn't I, Tony?"

Tony's expression became even more awkward.

Damn it, he still hadn't escaped.

Su Zheng said, "So how are you going to repay me for saving your life?"

Tony immediately gave up. Spreading his hands, he shamelessly said, "Don't people in the East say that the proper repayment for saving someone's life is to offer yourself in marriage?"

"Then marry me."

"Anyway, there won't be any more Iron Suits. Even if you squeeze me dry, I can't give you anything more."

Seeing Tony like this, Su Zheng knew he really had reached his limit. He had been drained dry.

Still, a hundred Iron Suits were more than enough.

But he was not so easy to placate.

Su Zheng said, "Then let me think about it!"

What else did Tony have that was worth taking?

He couldn't exactly take Tony's brain, could he?

He couldn't think of anything for the moment.

Su Zheng said, "Then you can owe me for now!"

Tony nodded with a trace of excitement on his face. "Alright."

As long as Su Zheng didn't make him build more Iron Suits, anything was fine.

If Su Zheng wanted money, Tony would laugh himself to death.

Money was far too easy.

Director Fury walked over. This guy had forgotten the pain as soon as the wound healed, staring greedily at the more than two hundred Iron Suits behind Su Zheng.

Fury said, "Su Zheng, thank you so much for saving us."

"Leave the cleanup here to us. You can head back. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reward will be transferred to your account soon. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
