Looking at Pierce with his cannibalistic expression, the many S.H.I.E.L.D. members present did not dare to speak at all, fearing they might accidentally become his punching bag.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Pierce took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Go, send out the Mecha Warrior! No matter what those guys are, tear them to pieces for me!"

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted in acknowledgement and quickly busied themselves.

Soon, a series of heavy footsteps echoed in the dark night as a five-meter-tall figure slowly strode toward Tony's villa, the ground trembling with each step it took.

It was the Mecha Warrior that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been developing in secret all along.

Originally, Pierce had not intended to deploy the Mecha Warrior, and bringing it along was just in case, but at the moment it came in handy.

Remotely controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D. members, the Mecha Warrior stood five point six meters tall and weighed a whopping six tons. Despite its massive build, its speed was not slow in the slightest.

Coupled with its peerless defense and monstrous strength, the Mecha Warrior was a well-deserved overlord on land.

Any tanks or armored vehicles were like children's toys in front of it, easily torn apart with a casual wave.

Soon, controlled by the S.H.I.E.L.D. members, the Mecha Warrior arrived at the perimeter of the villa.

Shadows emerged from the ground, and the Blade Legion deployed once again.

Compared to the five-meter-tall Mecha Warrior, the Blade Legion looked like children before it.

Yet as Dark Creatures, they simply did not know what fear was.

They only knew that anyone trespassing in the villa must die!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of piercing whistles rang out as the Blade Legion launched their attack. Sharp claws instantly landed on the Mecha Warrior, kicking up a shower of sparks.

Such attacks could be considered entirely harmless to the Mecha Warrior. A small rocket emerged from its arm, and the next second, the rocket launched and landed right in the midst of the Blade Legion.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion sounded, and endless firelight banished the night, turning the sky a fiery red. A large number of Blade Ninja were directly vaporized amidst the blast.

The area that had originally been packed with Blade Ninja was instantly cleared out.

Inside the command post, looking at this scene, the S.H.I.E.L.D. members all revealed looks of excitement, sweeping away the previous depression entirely!

Inside the villa, Tony was also observing the situation on the battlefield through the projection from JARVIS.

Seeing the performance of the Mecha Warrior, Tony raised an eyebrow.

Interesting.

It seems S.H.I.E.L.D. still has some chops, actually developing such a weapon of war.

I just wonder who is stronger and who is weaker: this mecha or Happy.

Muttering inwardly, Tony wore a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Happy!"

"Boss, I'm here. What's wrong?"

A series of footsteps came from outside the door, and soon, Happy's tall figure appeared in the room.

Because the villa was extremely well soundproofed, even though all hell had broken loose outside, not the slightest noise could be heard inside the villa, so Happy remained completely oblivious to the situation outside.

"Come take a look. I want you to have a one-on-one fight with this iron hunk. What do you think?"

Tony gestured for him to come in while speaking.

Happy, who had just entered the room, also saw the projection on the wall.

"No problem, Boss. Leave it to me. I'll go tear him apart right now."

Looking at the image projected by JARVIS, Happy instantly grew excited.

Having just gained superhuman strength, he was itching to show off his skills. Therefore, far from feeling any fear regarding Tony's arrangement, he was full of anticipation.

"Since you're so confident, go ahead. I'll wait to see your performance."

"Don't worry, Boss. I'll definitely twist that iron hunk's head off."

With that, Happy strode toward the outside of the villa.

Meanwhile, on the outside battlefield, the battle between the Blade Legion and the Mecha Warrior was still ongoing.

Although the Blade Ninja were unable to break its defense, they relied on their undying and indestructible traits to trade blows evenly with the Mecha Warrior.

However, when Happy arrived on the battlefield, the continuously attacking Blade Legion suddenly halted their movements, and then sank one by one into the darkness and vanished.

This was naturally Tony's command. He wanted to see whether Happy, who had been injected with the Hulk Enhancement Serum, was stronger, or if S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret weapon, the Mecha Warrior, was stronger.

"Hey, big guy, your opponent is me now."

Happy taunted the Mecha Warrior, even crooking his finger in a posture that completely looked down on it.

As a pure war machine, the Mecha Warrior naturally had no emotions, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. members controlling it did.

Through the eyes of the Mecha Warrior, the operator clearly witnessed Happy's taunt. Instantly, the mecha operator let out a stream of curses and drove the Mecha Warrior to march straight toward Happy, determined to make this arrogant guy pay the price.

Watching the Mecha Warrior approach, Happy's expression also turned solemn.

"Ha!"

Letting out a loud shout from his mouth, Happy's muscles instantly bulged as he threw a punch straight at the Mecha Warrior.

A mortal body PK'ing a steel body theoretically belonged entirely to the category of eggs smashing against stones.

Yet when Happy, having been injected with the Hulk Enhancement Serum, slammed his fist into the Mecha Warrior, a sound of metallic collision instantly rang through the air.

The Mecha Warrior, which could be called a behemoth, was actually sent staggering backward by Happy's single punch!

Such a scene instantly dumbfounded everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Is this guy still human?!

He knocked the Mecha Warrior back with a single punch!

It weighed six tons, and coupled with the Mecha Warrior's own inherent strength, wanting to knock it back with one punch meant that Happy's explosive power just now was at least fifteen tons or more!

How was this possible!

Everyone stared in a daze at the scene on the battlefield.

Only a small number of people noticed that the spot on the Mecha Warrior where Happy had struck already had a series of cracks spreading across it.

In other words, the Mecha Warrior, which could withstand the direct impact of cannon shells, likely could not withstand Happy's fists.

At this thought, quite a few people in S.H.I.E.L.D. felt a tingling sensation spread across their scalps.

"Use a rocket! Blow this monster to pieces!"

Pierce's roar resounded through the command post once again.

Receiving the order, the sweat-soaked mecha operator quickly went to work.

Instantly, a void opened up on the chest of the Mecha Warrior, and a medium-sized rocket appeared. Its firepower was several times that of a small rocket.

Whoosh!

Dragging a tail flame, the rocket flew out and struck Happy head-on before he could react.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An explosion several times more violent than the previous one erupted.

Happy was instantly swallowed up by the flames.

"It hit! It hit!"

Inside the command post, the mecha operator roared in excitement, and the others cheered just as wildly.

Yet soon, everyone's cheers stopped abruptly as a pitch-black figure slowly walked out from the flames, standing upright in place.

Looking at this scene, a wave of fear instantly surfaced in the hearts of all the S.H.I.E.L.D. members.

Is this guy really still human?
