Chapter 503
The moment Luo Mio's punch landed on the sandbag—enough to shatter a person's internal organs—the sandbag was sent flying.
Furthermore, a very obvious mark was left on the sandbag from which a fist had pierced through, and the iron sand inside the sandbag was spilled directly onto the ground through the hole.
Tony, who was developing the new Iron Man armor Mark 5, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement when he saw Luo Mio punch the sandbag away.
"Jarvis, how many times has Durandal broken the sandbag this month?"
"Sir, this is Miss Durandal's seventh punching bag to break this month."
Upon hearing Jarvis's report, Tony's lips twitched slightly.
You should know that since Durandal moved into his house, he has broken nearly a hundred sandbags in the past five months.
Other professional clubs use the sandbags specially made by Stark Industries, which will last for at least a long time.
But with Luo Mio, the sandbags were changed every few days, sometimes even less than a day.
Others who train and box every day would have calluses on their hands long ago, but Luo Mio's fair hands are still incredibly delicate, without a single callus.
Other girls who exercise like that would have developed big muscles and huge body contours long ago.
But Luo Mio's body remained completely unchanged.
But Tony knew that Luo Mio's power was several times greater than when they first met.
The same applies to the body's ability to withstand stress.
This inadvertently made Tony wonder if Luo Mio was even human.
Putting aside the smashed sandbags...
Basically, whenever she has free time, Luo Mio does basic physical training every day, such as treadmill workouts and punching bag exercises.
Furthermore, Tony rarely saw Luo Mio watching TV or playing computer games.
Their lifestyle can be described as quite disciplined.
However, Luo Mio also has a very cute side.
For example, when she falls asleep, she buries her head firmly in the pillow, kicks off the covers and gets out of bed five times every time she sleeps, and when she doesn't roll around, her saliva soaks the sheets.
Luo Mio, who walked to the side and picked up a water glass, clearly noticed Tony's gaze.
"What's wrong?"
Tony waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.
At this moment, Luo Mio asked, "By the way, how are you feeling?"
Upon hearing this, Tony glanced at the Arc Reactor on his chest.
Faint black stripes appeared around his Arc Reactor.
That was palladium from the palladium energy plate in the Arc Reactor. Due to unavoidable reasons, it entered his bloodstream, causing severe palladium poisoning in his body.
Although Tony knew all this, he kept looking for new energy sources, and for a time he was even obsessed with wanting to use Luo Mio's Honkai Energy.
However, after being reminded by Luo Mio Lingyan and encouraged by Little Pepper Pepper, Tony rallied and began searching for new elements.
Now he is discovering new energy sources step by step through the notes left to him by his father.
"It's alright, the palladium corrosion isn't too severe yet."
After saying that, Tony stood up and addressed Luo Mio.
"I'm going abroad with Pepper later tonight, so you'll be home alone."
Luo Mio shrugged after hearing this.
"Are you starting preparations for your exhibition... or some kind of performance...?"
Tony initially wanted to remind Luo Mio after hearing this, but then sighed and let it go.
Luo Mio waved to Tony and said.
"Alright, alright, I understand."
Before leaving, Tony said something to Jarvis.
"Jarvis, keep an eye on Durandal and make sure she doesn't forget about dinner time."
Watching Tony's departing figure, Luo Mio sighed softly, then went to the treadmill and began exercising.
——
Night.
After washing herself, Luo Mio dried her still slightly damp long hair while eating a pizza.
Perhaps because Tony and Pepper weren't there today, or perhaps because she had finished exercising, Luo Mio turned on the TV out of sheer boredom.
Just as Luo Mio was watching an entertainment variety show, an urgent news broadcast interrupted the broadcast.
Luo Mio glanced at it, and her azure eyes widened in surprise for a moment.
In the news, a massive figure over three meters tall was seen causing chaos in New York City.
Upon seeing that monstrous, massive figure, Luo Mio was stunned.
"Isn't this... a bit ahead of schedule?"
Then a communication ringtone sounded in the room.
The name on the communication was Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Upon receiving Nick Fury's call, Luo Mio frowned slightly.
Then Luo Mio glanced at the huge figure on the TV screen, which was rampaging through the streets of New York City, standing in flames like a demon returned from hell.
Upon receiving the call, Luo Mio spoke directly.
"The mess the military couldn't clean up, and now they're coming to me?"
"..."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the person on the other end fell silent.
With a soft sigh, Luo Mio put on her clothes and then spoke to Ai-chan and Jarvis.
"Contact Tony and Miss Pepper and tell them that I'll handle the monster causing chaos in New York City. Tony doesn't need to make a special trip back."
After saying all this, Luo Mio also gave Nick Fury a reminder.
"Tell those guys in the military to stay out of my way, especially Thaddeus E. Ross."
"Otherwise, I would suggest cleaning out some of the military's corrupt elements."
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
"OK."
Without saying anything more, Luo Mio was once again covered in the "Whip Knight: Bright Knight: Excelsis" armor.
The deep blue skirt, resembling an evening gown, transformed into dazzling, blazing blue wings, from which blue and white flames erupted.
Under the night sky, a blue comet streaked across the heavens, hurtling rapidly toward New York City.
Chapter Thirteen: At the Moment Stardust Gathers, the Knight Descends!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Night...
On the grounds of New York City, flames, like a natural disaster, illuminated the entire city center.
Thick smoke, seemingly apocalyptic, rose into the sky, obscuring the entire expanse and enveloping every citizen on the New York City.
Because...
"Roar------!"
A towering figure, resembling a demon, stood in the very middle of the street.
He was surrounded by wrecked cars...
The flames from the car explosion were as hot as if he were being given a hot bath.
On both sides of the street, panicked people were fleeing frantically, their faces filled with despair and fear.
And behind the demonic figure... crimson blood, like paint, stained the entire road behind it a hellish red.
Not far in front of the demon were tanks, armored vehicles, and even armed helicopters from the army in the sky.
The soldiers' loud shouts were perhaps the only sign of courage in this desolate place.
Countless bullets and artillery fire rained down on the demon within the flames.
But no matter how fierce the firepower, it had no effect on the monster.
The monster slowly emerged from the flames, its body riddled with bullets.
It was a huge human figure that was over two meters tall and nearly three meters high.
His entire body had a hideous, horrifying yellowish-brown skin, with bulging veins on his arms, and pits and dents on his chin and chest caused by protruding bones. A row of shocking and frightening bone spurs protruded from his spine.
His lips curled slightly upward, as if mocking the five eyes of ordinary people, and his devilish eyes stared straight ahead.
Looking at the demon before him, the tank slowly moved its cannon, aiming at the monster that resembled a demon.
"Emission!"
At a command, the tank's cannon fired at the monster with a loud bang, and the shell instantly blasted towards it.
But despite this...
Amidst the flames of the explosion, the monster emerged completely unharmed.
The flames from the explosion slowly burned on its body, but the monster paid no attention, letting the flames burn on its body.
After a short while... the flames burned out and disappeared from the monster's body.
Then the monster gave a contemptuous smile to the tank in front of it.
The deep, resonant voice sounded like that of a demon from the depths of hell.
Then, in the distance...
A tank appeared to have been thrown directly from the ground onto the rooftop by something.
——
In the sky, Luo Mio was flying towards New York City at top speed.
Upon first seeing this monstrous figure on the television screen, Luo Mio instantly recognized his identity.
"Abomination!"
His real name was Emil Bronksky.
He had served in the British Royal Marines, but was later recruited by General Ross.
Ross E. Ross is the father-in-law of Robert Bruce Banner, the Hulk.
Afterwards, Bronksky received an injection of Super Soldier Serum from General Ross and went to challenge the Hulk, but was kicked away by the Hulk.
Although he recovered later, he was deeply attracted by the Hulk's invincible power. In addition, he was injected with the serum a second time, which made his mind more and more violent and crazy.
Later, when Banner was captured, Bronksky had Dr. Stern inject Banner's blood into his body.
Because of the combination of the Super Soldier Serum and Banner's blood, Bronksky's form changed drastically, eventually turning him into a ferocious monster.
That is, "Abomination"!
However, what puzzled Luo Mio was...
The Abomination has been on the streets for a while now, so why hasn't the Hulk appeared yet?
But Luo Mio only pondered for a moment before giving up on the question.
His gaze fell upon New York City, where thick black smoke was rising in the distance.
A blue light streaked across the night sky.
