Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yinsen kept firing, leaving his accuracy entirely to fate.

Still, his real purpose was only to draw the enemy's attention and ease some of Tony Stark's pressure.

Yinsen achieved his goal. With an extra man and gun suddenly appearing on the battlefield, there was no way the enemy could fail to notice him.

Several terrorists immediately swung their guns around and sprayed Yinsen with bullets.

"Watch out! Get down!"

Tony Stark was furious and alarmed, but it was already too late. He could only watch helplessly as it happened.

But at that moment, Tony Stark saw a blur before his eyes, and then a Blue Vortex appeared in front of Yinsen.

"That's..."

The vortex spun, swallowing a barrage of bullets whole.

The spectacle instantly drew everyone's attention. They even forgot to fire, and the battlefield fell silent.

"Rimuru?"

Having narrowly escaped death, Yinsen stared at Rimuru standing before him in utter shock.

What had he just seen?

Rimuru's hand had transformed into a Blue Vortex and devoured every bullet.

When Rimuru had suddenly appeared in the sealed cave earlier, Tony and Yinsen had both let their imaginations run wild.

They had guessed that Rimuru's mutant ability might be something like concealment or stealth.

They had never imagined that Rimuru could even swallow bullets. It was simply unbelievable!

Rimuru ignored Yinsen and charged straight toward the high ground where the heavy machine gun had been set up.

As long as the heavy machine gun was taken out, ordinary firepower would be nothing more than a scratch to Mark I.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Take down that monster!"

Rimuru's objective was obvious, and everyone understood it perfectly.

One giant metal can was already hard enough to deal with. Now there was another monster.

If the heavy machine gun was taken out too, everyone here would be completely finished.

They fired with all their might, pouring bullets at Rimuru as if ammunition cost nothing.

But what left everyone dumbfounded was that Rimuru dodged every single bullet.

And that was not even the strangest part. The way Rimuru dodged bullets was unbelievably stylish—cool beyond words.

Dodging bullets while showing off? Did she think she was the protagonist of some movie?!

But reality could sometimes be even more absurd than a movie. Everyone's jaws dropped, their worldview thoroughly shattered.

"She's coming over!"

"Fire!"

"Fire, now!"

They roared, especially the machine gunner, whose rage surged as he unleashed every ounce of strength he had.

But the next second, the machine gunner stared blankly at his empty hands, still frozen in a firing posture.

Wait... where was his gun?

The machine gunner looked up in terror and met Rimuru's blood-agate eyes.

There was not the slightest trace of emotion in those eyes. They were like the eyes of a... grim reaper harvesting lives!

Before he could say anything, though, he sank into endless darkness.

"She's coming! She's charging this way!"

"Rocket Launcher! Use the Rocket Launcher!"

"Bullets and flames don't work on her! She's a devil!"

"Don't kill me, spare me..."

All kinds of reactions unfolded across the battlefield. In just a short moment, these hardened desperadoes had been scared out of their wits by Rimuru.

Yinsen, who had watched the entire thing unfold, was utterly stunned. That was even possible?

As for Tony, he could only click his tongue in amazement.

From the moment Rimuru made her move to the moment everything settled, less than a minute had passed.

Saving Yinsen, dodging bullets, taking out the machine gun, and dealing with the terrorists—every action flowed seamlessly into the next, without a single unnecessary movement.

Looking at her entire attack sequence, her objective had been crystal clear. Every movement, every strike, had been incomparably precise—something even battle-hardened special forces elites might not have been able to achieve.

It had been like art!

Just who was Rimuru?!

Tony's curiosity surged, but no matter what, they had won.

After disengaging the automatic combat mode, the three gathered together again.

Yinsen looked at Rimuru with a complicated expression. "Sorry. When I told you earlier not to let your hands be stained with blood and all that, I was being too presumptuous."

Judging from Rimuru's performance just now, she was definitely battle-hardened, not some delicate sprout raised in a greenhouse.

Rimuru shook her head. "Yinsen, you were right. Those desperate criminals really aren't worth dirtying my hands over. Up to now, I haven't killed anyone!"

Ummmm...

Upon hearing Rimuru's words, both Yinsen and Tony rolled their eyes.

With how skilled you were just now, do you really think anyone would believe that?

Still, this was not the time to dwell on that.

"Yinsen, little Rimuru, you two leave the valley first. I'm going to destroy all the weapons in this valley!"

Seeing the weapons throughout the valley bearing the Stark logo, Tony's gaze turned incomparably grim.

As America's largest arms dealer, he had always faced doubt and criticism. Many called him a "merchant of death," but Tony had never taken it to heart.

As an arms dealer, Tony's philosophy had always been—"Trade weapons for peace"!

The best weapons only needed to be fired once to earn the enemy's fear and respect.

A lie repeated a thousand times became truth, even if it was never true.

Besides, people always believed what they wanted to believe.

Tony had truly believed that the weapons he made could bring peace to the world.

But this kidnapping had thoroughly awakened him to the cruel reality.

Especially that bearded kidnapper, who had called him the world's most notorious mass murderer. Those words had cut deeply into him.

These weapons absolutely could not fall into the hands of other terrorists again!

Not long after Rimuru and Yinsen left the valley, endless flames swallowed the entire place.

Much like in the movie, after detonating everything, Tony used Mark I's brief flight capability to escape as well.

The vast desert was dry and scorching, like walking across a furnace.

Before long, Tony and Yinsen were severely dehydrated and even showed signs of heatstroke.

But Rimuru was completely unaffected, as though she were walking in a gentle cool breeze. Tony and Yinsen were both astonished and envious.

Seriously, just who was Rimuru?

She was like a mystery. The more they learned about her, the more they could sense just how mysterious and incredible she was.

But this was not the time to dwell on that either. The priority was getting out of this desert.

About an hour later.

The sound of helicopter rotors came from the sky, and Tony danced with excitement.

After successfully drawing the aircraft's attention, Tony dropped to his knees in excitement and struck an embarrassingly childish V-sign pose.

This was a U.S. military helicopter. In other words, his nightmare was finally over!

Soon, a dark-skinned officer rushed out of the helicopter. Who else could it be but Tony's best friend, Rhodey?

"Was the Funvee comfortable?"

Hearing that, Tony immediately laughed awkwardly.

"Ride in the same car as me next time, okay?"

Hearing Rhodey's words, Tony was overwhelmed with emotion and hugged him without thinking.

Rimuru could not help but sigh. On the road to winning Tony, Pepper Potts's greatest rival was first Mark N, and then Rhodey!

As for all those cover girls, they were complete trash. Not a single one of them could compare.

"Who are these two?"

Rhodey looked at Rimuru and Yinsen curiously.

Yinsen was fine; he looked like an ordinary white man.

But Rimuru's appearance was far too outstanding. Her blue hair and golden eyes in particular made her seem as though she were constantly under a spotlight wherever she went. It was impossible for her not to draw attention.

Tony felt helpless. His friend was good in every way, except that he was a little too serious.

Besides, Rimuru's origins were mysterious and her abilities astonishing. He did not want the military to set its sights on her.

"They're both the people who saved my life. They're completely trustworthy. Come on, Rhodey, you're not planning to interrogate the three of us here in the middle of the desert, are you?"

"Sorry!"

Rhodey knew he had overstepped. Although he had a whole basketful of questions to ask, this was clearly not the right time.

They had not noticed it in the cave, but the moment they entered civilized society, Rimuru and Yinsen immediately felt the terrifying extent of Tony's influence.

Very soon, a luxurious private jet landed at the U.S. military base, and the three of them embarked on their journey to New York.
