Master of the Marvel Universe

Saiki Kusuo's voice appeared in Shen He's mind. He had already teleported to the infirmary where Shiki Ryougi was.

The rocket attack just now had not reached this place, and the enemies rushing over had only just arrived outside the door.

Without a word, Shen He set Pepper down on the ground some distance away, then piloted the mech into the air. Looking at the villa engulfed in flames and gunfire before him, he issued an angry command that rang across the battlefield: "Kill!"

It was as though he had uttered a forbidden spell that unleashed a demon. The girl Saiki Kusuo had brought back to the infirmary moved in an instant like an automated mechanical doll. She lowered her body and crept close to the door, tightly gripping her weapon—a long axe taller than she was.

The instant the door was violently smashed open, the long axe swung at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, striking the first enemy squarely in the forehead. Crimson blood surged out like a breached dam. He collapsed helplessly without even having time to scream, his broad body conveniently covering the girl's petite frame. In an instant, everyone fell to the ground screaming.

All of their lower legs had been severed.

The girl discarded the long axe and pulled two daggers from her body, stabbing the fallen enemies again and again.

Every strike was fatal!

Her movements were nimble and swift. Her delicate, expressionless face made her look like a cold-blooded yet patient hunter. In the blink of an eye, the nurses in the infirmary saw the girl standing alone amid a pile of corpses with blades in hand, her snow-white princess dress and silky golden hair stained red with vivid blood.

They would never forget that sight. The breathtakingly beautiful girl was like a fairy from hell.

Yet this was only the beginning. Violet picked up firearms from the hands of the corpses on the ground. Her body, strengthened by dog food, raced like an elegant cheetah. She leaped lightly, slaughtering every enemy she saw with precision and mercilessness. Her petite build and swift speed became her greatest advantages.

"No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Get away! Get away! She's not human! She's not human!"

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

These burly men, who could hardly be called battle-hardened, broke down.

Some wildly fired their guns, while others threw their weapons away and turned to run, making Violet's slaughter all the more convenient.

She simply discarded the heavy, cumbersome firearms and took the dagger Shen He had given her. She effortlessly caught up to the fleeing enemies, leaped up to seize their hair, then lightly twisted her dagger and slit their throats with the practiced ease of a butcher dressing chickens and ducks. She did not care in the slightest when blood sprayed over her body. One after another, she carried out the command she had received as though it were only natural.

Shen He knew all of this.

Of course he knew. Violet had already displayed that maxed-out talent for killing in the dungeon.

He merely listened intently to the screams coming from the villa while using the weapons mounted on his mech to kill every enemy outside attempting to break in. He tried to control his emotions—his killing intent and anger, as well as his fear and pity. He only tried to calmly view this as something he had to do, nothing more.

These people were not targeting Tony alone. They were also after the armor in the villa, and perhaps its blueprints as well.

Because even as the battle situation deteriorated layer by layer, the enemy not only failed to retreat—they deployed their true trump card.

—An entire formation of armored suits!

These were merely mass-produced, crude knockoffs, the product of Ivan Vanko's intellect combined with Hydra's financial resources. Naturally, they could not compare with Tony's armor, but Shen He could see clearly that the numerous heavy weapons mounted on them were enough to flatten the entire villa.

"Tony, activate the defensive force field!"

Shen He piloted the mech high into the sky. An unknown object trailing flames and billowing smoke shot out from the center of its chest, followed closely by a purple beam crackling with lightning that struck the object dead on!

In an instant, blinding light stole everyone's vision.

Terrifying beams spread and spiraled through the air, ruthlessly cutting through the vast space ahead. Whether imitation armored suits, trucks, or enemies still pouring in, everything was utterly destroyed beneath the power of this ultimate move.

It was the [Diffusion-Structure Phase-Shift Cannon] mounted on Mirage in the original animation.

After that dazzling attack, across the entire fan-shaped area before Mirage, only Tony, protected by his absolute defensive force field, and Ivan Vanko, who survived at the cost of both mech lower legs, remained alive.
