Just as Ling Yi was about to speak, he suddenly Perception something, and couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the balcony.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yi turned around and glanced at Tony with a strange expression.
"What?" Tony felt extremely uncomfortable under Ling Yi's gaze.
" Tony, you have friends coming to see you, and not just two, but three! Oh wow, 1, 2, 3, the villains have all gathered!"
"Are you sure you're friends?" Tony sensed something was off about Ling Yi's tone.
"Yeah, the kind of friend who wants you dead and hates you to the core."
"Faker!"
"Prepare for Combat. Your friend will arrive on the battlefield in three minutes."
Tony didn't have time to ask anything and ran straight into the lab, while Happy ran to the garage outside to retrieve their respective equipment.
On the contrary, Rhodey clapped his wrists, and a flash of light appeared, revealing a pair of huge metal wings on his back.
He said, "I'll go see who it is!"
It flew straight out of the villa.
A few seconds later, gunshots rang out from the distant sea, indicating that Rhodey had spotted Killian and Ivan Vanko.
At this point, Tony and Happy had also changed into their gear.
Tony, a level 36 warrior, Heavenly Demon Divine Armor Staff of Judgment, and wears the War God Helmet...
Happy a level 35 Daoist priest, wearing a level 22 Daoist robe, wielding Wuji Staff, and Prayer Helmet...
Another set of extravagant gear.
However, Ling Yi never expected that Happy's profession was actually a Daoist priest.
Wuji Staff, wielding the Wuji Happy, raised his hand, unleashing two defensive skills: Ghost Shield and Holy Armor Technique, which struck him and Tony directly.
Then, a beastly roar rang out, and a three-tailed, crimson monster stood upright, staring menacingly at the direction of the Dahai.
Happy is holding a stick in his right hand and a talisman in his left... This image just doesn't look right.
At this moment, only four words came to Ling Yi's mind: utterly incongruous!
But when Ling Yi actually saw Ivan Vanko's equipment, he instantly felt that Happy's image looked much better.
You simply cannot imagine what it would feel like to put a Daoist robe on a bear.
It's so offensive!
On the contrary, Killian was the most handsome of everyone present.
Wearing a suit and holding a Magic Wand, he looked quite the gentleman.
"Where did that Rhodey guy go?" Happy asked.
"I'm here!" Rhodey threw the empty bottle of Sun Water aside in the seawater and flew up unsteadily, saying this.
"This guy is Magic Mage; his Fireball is terrifyingly powerful, almost like Forbidden Spell."
Killian used Extremis Virus, which provides a geometrically increased boost to Huoyan skills.
In Ling Yi's Perception, Killian's body was filled with restless Fire Element; if it got out of control, there would only be one outcome... boom!
"Luckily I brought a bottle of Sun Water, otherwise you would have played 'Amazing Grace' for me."
"There will be opportunities!" Tony said with a shrug.
Tony stared at the two men in front of him, completely unable to recall these two enemies who had suddenly appeared.
"It seems you don't remember me at all," Killian said calmly.
"Yes, I never remember those insignificant people."
"I am Aldrich Killian, the founder of AIM, a level 38 Magic Mage."
Killian tapped his Magic Wand on the ground, and a burst of Huoyan surged outwards from his body, creating a spectacular and incredibly cool special effect.
Tony knew about AIM, of course. It was a biotechnology company specializing in the study of brain gene evolution, and it seemed they had already achieved some good results.
However, Tony still couldn't figure out why Killian hated him so much.
Killian clearly had no intention of explaining; his only goal tonight was to kill Tony Stark, the man who had brought him shame.
"And who are you?" Tony turned to look at Ivan Vanko.
" Stark, thief, executioner, warmonger," Ivan Vanko said, word by word in his broken English.
"Wow, I didn't even know I had so many nicknames. Although there is freedom of speech, I can still sue you for defamation."
" Ivan Vanko, level 35 Daoist." As Ivan spoke, he raised the Silver Snake Sword (level 28 Daoist equipment) in his hand and used the Summon skill of a level 35 Daoist to Summon Divine Beast.
A gigantic, three-tailed, red cesium monster appeared out of thin air.
but...
Why is it that Happy's Summon beast and Ivan's Summon beast seem to be different species, even though they both summon Summon Divine Beast?
"Wow, what a brilliant idea! You actually put an exoskeleton on your Summon beast?" Tony exclaimed in admiration.
Especially the Miniature Arc Reactor on the exoskeleton armor, which shimmered with a bright blue light, was extremely dazzling.
Ling Yi's lips twitched. Damn, this Ivan really is a genius. What is this? A divine beast version of Whiplash?
"I think perhaps we need a peace negotiation." Happy broke out in a cold sweat. How the hell was he supposed to fight like this? He felt like he was going to get thrashed.
"Heh, I refuse!" Killian raised his Magic Wand, and a blazing Fireball was instantly unleashed, but the target wasn't Tony; it was Rhodey in the air.
Having learned from his previous experience, Rhodey naturally dared not take Killian's Fireball- on. He used a speed boost to dodge and then quickly opened fire on Killian.
Killian calmly cast a Magic Shield on himself; the bullets that hit it only created ripples, having no effect whatsoever.
Ivan raised his hand and cast two Poisoning Technique on Tony and Happy.
These two rookies, who usually rely on others for guidance, had their lack of Combat experience directly exposed at this moment.
They only realized what was happening after they were infected, but the MiR game had no antidote, so they could only tough it out.
Fortunately, Tony was rich and had plenty of life potions. The two of them immediately drank the life potions and prepared to fight back.
Rhodey ' nanowings were still very agile. In his opinion, as long as he was careful, he would not be attacked by Killian again thanks to the agility of the wings.
but...
" Ivan, control him!" Killian said to Ivan had just unleashed a Soul Fire Talisman.
The toothpick in Ivan's mouth twitched, and he raised the Silver Snake Sword, pointing it at Rhodey in the air.
" Demon Binding Spell," a level 28 Daoist skill, can directly imprison the target, rendering them unable to move.
This skill might not be familiar to many players who frequently use private servers.
But almost every veteran mir player, especially those born in the 1980s, knows this skill.
Before the "Mir Wealth Under Heaven" version, this skill was almost like a bug, a wide-area crowd control skill that was incredibly powerful.
However, it was Later Weaken and modified, and the skill's effectiveness was greatly reduced, which is why it was gradually abandoned by players.
Rhodey was hit almost instantly, screaming as he fell from the sky.
Killian followed up with a bolt of Lightning, and Rhodey was promptly knocked unconscious and forced to retreat from the battlefield.
"Fark, what kind of skill is this?" Tony was dumbfounded. Skills in Mir were already difficult to obtain because Asgard monopolized the Corpse King Hall.
Happy and his friends still don't have all the skills; this kind of thing isn't something you can just buy whenever you want.
As for Ivan and Killian, they found Map of the Valley Mine in Viper Valley in Mir, where two Corpse King bosses spawn every hour.
This area hasn't been discovered by other players yet, so it's practically like they have the Map all to themselves.
The two of them spent almost half a month grinding here before they finally managed to collect all the skills. The equipment they wore was also obtained by repeatedly farming the Corpse King boss.
It's fair to say that, aside from Thor and others from Asgard, these two are the most skilled players across all servers in the entire Mir universe.
It was precisely because of this two-week Combat experience that the two gained a profound understanding of game skills.
In preparation for today's mission, the two spent a whole day adapting to the skills in real life.
Compared to Tony and his group, these two are far stronger.
With Rhodey out of the game, Killian can finally focus his attacks on Tony without worry.
Fire Wall Technique and Ice Roar — Twin Heavens of Ice and Fire —put Tony and Happy in Extremis.
Even though they kept consuming life-saving potions, the outcome was already predetermined.
Ivan glanced at Killian and suddenly felt that his "mecha beast" that he had been working on for so long was completely useless, which made him very resentful.
In games, there's a team mode where skills don't harm teammates, but that doesn't apply in real life.
Just when Killian and Ivan thought victory was assured, a bolt of Lightning struck down from the sky, landing directly on Killian's head.
Unfortunately, the Lightning strike wasn't very powerful; it didn't even break through Killian's Magic Shield.
The one who unleashed the Lightning was Pepper, a level 17 Mage. Because she needs to help Tony manage the Stark Industries, Pepper has very little time to play the game and is currently only level 17, having just learned the Lightning.
A level 0 Lightning, without any equipment bonuses, has predictably low attack power.
Killian harbored no hostility towards Pepper; on the contrary, he held her in high esteem.
It was Pepper who recognized Killian's brilliant idea and introduced him to Tony. Although the outcome wasn't great, he gained Pepper's approval, which was a rare encouragement for Killian, who was almost desperate at the time.
" Pepper, please continue!" Killian smiled slightly, completely Ignore Pepper's attack.
"I think there's a misunderstanding between you two!" Pepper stopped helplessly after realizing her attack was ineffective.
"Miss Pepper, you probably can't possibly understand the pain of someone who has just seen hope, only to fall back into Abyss."
Tony Stark told me to wait for him on the balcony, and that he would come to see me when he was done.
"At that time, I had been starving for three days. Tony's words gave me my last hope. I stood on the balcony and dreamed of a bright future all night."
"I'm sorry!" Pepper naturally knew Tony's surname.
Ling Yi curled his lip in disdain. Tony's actions were indeed not very Earthly Dao, but Killian, a psychologically fragile and extreme person, was not really worthy of sympathy.
How many people did this guy kill in order to develop Extremis Virus? Tony was just disrespectful to him, but Killian didn't even know how to respect life.
As for Ivan Vanko, he's a complete idiot, brainwashed by his Laozi, and foolishly comes to seek revenge on Tony.
But does Ivan Vanko deserve sympathy? Of course not. Like Killian, or rather, all villains share a common reason for their inevitable demise: Revive.
In the original storyline, Ivan Vanko was about to detonate his steel army in the street, completely disregarding the lives of civilians. In Ling Yi's eyes, such a person deserved to die.
