Xiao Han was suspended above Himalayas, and the icy air condensed into frost around him. His Super Vision penetrated layers of rock walls and locked into a hidden base deep in the mountains.
Dozens of ring-shaped devices are buzzing around the base, greedily absorbing every ounce of solar energy in the thin plateau air.
"Just a point battle?" Xiao Han sneered, the red light in his eyes particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains.
In the base, the masked man watched everything through the monitoring screen. "Start all the absorption devices and turn them on at full power! Let him taste the backlash of his own energy!"
The ring-shaped device lights up at the same time, forming a huge energy network that covers Xiao Han. This energy network resonates perfectly with Xiao Han's biological energy field, and is obviously designed specifically for him.
Xiao Han didn't even move, letting the energy network envelope him. "That's it?" he said contemptuously, and then shook his body slightly. The energy network broke inch by inch like Silk and dissipated into the thin air.
The masked man took a step back in shock. "Impossible! That is a specially designed energy absorption network based on Vibranium!"
"Toys are toys after all." Xiao Han's voice penetrated directly through the base's protection and echoed in the control room. He slowly landed at the entrance of the base, Heat Vision swept it lightly, and the three-meter-thick alloy door instantly vaporized.
Inside the base, hundreds of Mechanical Entity are activated at the same time, their eyes flashing dangerous red light. "Destroy the target." The mechanical voice is uniform.
Xiao Han didn't even look at them and walked forward casually. Wherever he passed, Mechanical Entity exploded one after another, as if they were crushed by invisible force.
He is like a humanoid harvester, carving a path of destruction inside the base.
"Start the freezing plan!" the masked man roared.
Hundreds of nozzles opened on the ceiling, and extremely cold liquid poured down. The liquid vaporized the moment it came into contact with Xiao Han's body, but more liquid continued to spurt out, and soon a thick layer of ice formed around him.
"You learned well," Xiao Han's voice came from the ice, "But the temperature is still far from good."
The ice exploded instantly, and the fragments flew around at supersonic speed, cutting the surrounding Mechanical Entity into pieces. Heat Vision swept through Xiao Han's eyes, and all the nozzles melted at the same time.
The masked man finally panicked. "Start the self-destruct program! Send all data to the backup base!"
"Want to run?" Xiao Han appeared in the control room instantly and grabbed the masked man by the neck. "Who allowed you to imitate me?"
The masked man struggled in his hands, and the metal mask began to deform. "You... don't understand... this is just the beginning... They have already gotten the data they want..."
"Them?" Xiao Han put more force on his hands, "Speak clearly."
Suddenly, the entire base shook violently, and the self-destruction program entered the final countdown. The masked man let out a distorted laugh, "It's too late! All data has been uploaded! You lose, Sun's Son!"
Xiao Han's eyes flashed coldly, and he crushed the masked man's throat. He threw the body aside and looked up at the flashing red light.
"Friday, can you terminate the self-destruction program?" Tony's voice came from the communication. He and Avengers had just arrived at the outskirts of the base.
"It's not necessary." Xiao Han said lightly. He took a deep breath, and then blew out the extremely cold freezing breath deep into the base.
The extreme cold spread at super-light speed, freezing everything wherever it went. Even the countdown to the self-destruct program was frozen to the last second.
The entire base has been turned into an ice sculpture museum.
Tony walked in wearing a battle armor, looked at everything that was frozen, and whistled. "This is really convenient."
"Where is the data transfer destination?" Natasha asked Banner who was operating the console.
Banner shook his head. "The transmission was completed before the self-destruct program started. But I found this in the system log-" He called up an encrypted message, "The message points to a maritime coordinate, but not any known location."
Xiao Han's Super Vision instantly locked onto that coordinate. "At sea? Interesting."
Suddenly, the frozen console sent out the last message, which was projected on the ice wall. "Thank you for your cooperation, Sun's Son. The first phase of testing is completed. Looking forward to seeing you at Latveria Island."
The projection disappeared and the base fell into dead silence.
"Latveria Island?" Steve frowned, "Where is that place?"
"A place that shouldn't exist," Tony looked solemn, "According to the S.H.I.E.L.D. file, Latveria Island sank due to an experimental accident fifty years ago."
Xiao Han's eyes flashed with interest. "Sunken island? Just right, I want to go to the beach for a vacation recently."
