Richard and the Ancient One said goodbye and left.
Upon exiting the main hall, I immediately answered the phone.
" Tony?"
" Richard, come here right now!"
"What happened?" Richard heard the urgency and excitement in Tony's voice. "You seem very happy?"
Tony Stark deliberately kept everyone in suspense. "You'll find out when you get here!"
Richard could only end the communication and open a Portal.
Seaside Villa in Malibu, California.
Inside the equipment room, Tony Stark, with his messy hair and exhausted from not sleeping for a day and a night, was unusually excited.
A tall Iron Armor stood silently in front of him; the unpainted Silver Armor appeared exceptionally rugged and powerful under the light.
Upon closer inspection, the outer shell of the Silver Armor appeared to be engraved with extremely fine patterns.
A Crimson Portal opened, and Richard stepped out.
" Tony?"
Tony turned around and waved to Richard.
" Richard, come here right now!"
Richard took a few steps closer and also saw the Silver Armor: "Is this the battle suit you just made? What's the Mark II number now?"
" Mark III 3-4!" Tony exclaimed proudly, raising his chin. "But I prefer to call it the ' Anti-Richard Armor '!"
"???" Richard's eyes widened immediately upon hearing the name.
"No, wait a minute?!"
"What did you say it's called?!"
Tony repeated with a smug look on his face, " Anti-Richard Armor!"
Richard laughed in exasperation, "So you made this suit specifically for me..."
"But Tony, there are conditions attached to targeting me..."
Are you sure you understand my true strength and trump cards?
Tony waved his hand confidently and said, "I don't know how many strange Guagua Magic you know!"
"Lights need electricity!"
"Cars need gasoline!"
Everything in the universe is inseparable from the conversion and use of energy.
Even the most mysterious Magic needs an energy source to unleash it!
"As long as I cut off your energy source for using Magic, you won't be able to cast Magic!"
"When the time comes, I'm certain that alloy steel will defeat flesh and blood!"
"An energy source?" Richard's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.
"Come on, put on your battle suit, let me test its power!"
"Okay!" Tony said, then opened his arms, and the Silver Armor instantly split into several parts, which flew onto his body and quickly reassembled.
"Let's go outside!"
Richard's feet left the ground, and with a 'whoosh,' he flew out of the circular passageway on the rooftop.
Tony, piloting his Silver Armor, followed closely behind.
Over the ocean.
Richard, with his hands behind his back, hovered in mid-air. He smiled at Tony and asked, "Ready, Tony?"
The silver-clad warrior nodded. "Come on!"
Richard opened his right palm, and an orange-red fireball appeared. He casually tossed it, and a fireball with a red tail shot out like an arrow.
Tony bent his right arm and held it in front of him. With two sharp clangs, a semi-circular alloy shield popped out from each side of his upper arm.
'boom!'
The orange-red fireball slammed into the alloy shield and exploded into a burst of fireworks.
As the smoke cleared, the Silver Armor remained intact, with only a black mark left on the surface of the circular alloy shield.
Tony retracted his alloy shield, lowered his arm, and chuckled smugly, " Richard, that attack was too weak. Do you have any more powerful Magic? Like that blue-white fireball that killed Obastan!"
" Pyroblast?" Richard raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. " Pyroblast is too powerful. I just recently created a new Magic; why don't you try this one first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball wreathed in blue and red appeared.
" Frostfire Bolt!"
This Dodge fireball was incredibly fast, tearing through the air and arriving in front of Tony in the blink of an eye.
"Fuck!" Tony yelled, "You attacked me from behind!"
He only had time to cross his arms to shield his chest before the blue and red Frostfire Bolt struck his Silver Armor.
'boom!'
The fireball exploded instantly, and the powerful Shockwave sent the Silver Armor flying backward!
As it rolled backward, a thin layer of extremely cold frost first formed on the surface of the Silver Armor, which was then melted by the intense heat...
The exploding Frostfire Bolt contained an abundance of Mana.
Freezing, melting... freezing, melting...
It was repeated nine times before the Mana was completely exhausted.
On the virtual panel of the Silver Armor, a dense array of red alerts lit up.
Jarvis reported urgently, "Sir, the alloy shell of the suit has developed large cracks! Please return immediately to replace it!"
Tony had actually heard the fine cracking sound of the alloy shell breaking open after nine rounds of thermal expansion and contraction.
But he really couldn't bring himself to go back so dejectedly.
" Jarvis, is the ET (Energy Blocking) module in the suit functioning properly?"
Jarvis replied, "Normal! But the cracks in the suit's outer shell are still spreading. It's estimated that 75% of the alloy shell will detach completely in ten minutes!"
Tony grinned and said, "Ten minutes? That should be enough!"
He maneuvered his suit and flew back.
Richard snapped his fingers, feigning boredom. "Just two missiles, and your Anti-Richard Armor couldn't withstand it..."
"Tsk tsk, what a disappointment~"
"I was just testing your Magic attack power!" Tony tried to salvage the situation.
"Next up is the core function of the Anti-Richard Armor!"
Richard beckoned with his finger. "Let's go then~"
" Richard, you'd better watch out!" Tony stretched out his arm, a white Energy Cannon shining from the center of his palm.
A crimson energy shield quickly appeared on Richard's surface.
Tony yelled, " Jarvis, activate the full-power ET Module!"
After the shout, the outer shell of the Silver Armor cracked rapidly. The already damaged, intricate patterns quickly changed, and tiny holes appeared on the surface of the suit. Invisible fluctuations emanated from these holes...
The energy wave swept across Richard's crimson energy shield, causing it to flicker twice and show signs of extinguishing!
"Hmm? Interesting!"
Seeing this change, Richard's face showed a hint of surprise. He quickly replenished his Mana and stabilized the energy shield again.
Two charged Energy Cannon fired first, followed by dozens of missile launchers opening on the back of the Silver Armor...
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh...'
Dozens of missiles were launched, hurtling toward their locked targets at breakneck speed!
The Energy Cannon struck Richard's Energy Shield almost simultaneously, creating several water-like ripples and leaving behind a plume of white smoke...
Dozens of missiles followed, crashing into the shield and exploding, causing the shield, which had not had time to recover, to become unstable!
Tony, who had been monitoring the crimson shield's status, perked up and shouted, " Jarvis, activate the ET Module at overpower!"
Jarvis replied, "Yes, sir!"
The invisible fluctuations within the hole on the front of the Silver Armor intensified rapidly, creating ripples in the air that swept quickly toward Richard.
Richard immediately noticed a momentary pause in his energy output!
It was this momentary pause that caused the crimson shield, which had withstood the attack of dozens of missiles, to collapse in the next second!
The remaining dozen or so missiles struck Richard almost simultaneously and exploded with a bang!
