The four elemental monsters were illusions Tony had created using drones, perfectly replicating Beck's 3D holographic projection technology. The principle combined optical projections and mathematical models, using preset data transmission equipment and complex projection techniques to materialize ones and zeroes into optical images.
No matter how much was said, fake was still fake. It was merely a layer of illusion draped over armed drones.
Perhaps electromagnetic pulses could interfere with detection devices and make them misjudge the situation. The drones' weapons could also create the illusion of monsters attacking, leaving people aware that it was fake yet unable to find any flaws.

She wondered how weak the Earth of the 833 Universe had to be for monsters like these to destroy it.
Then there were mystic heroes like Strange, who bypassed appearances and looked directly at the essence. He discovered that there were merely several floating machines ahead, with such pitifully low threat levels that they could practically be ignored with a little caution.
