Just when Thor, Hulk, and Red Skull's Daughter Sin-Cynthia were fighting two streets away.

A Iron Suit painted in red and gold rushed back to Manhattan in time.

"Oh my God! What's happening here?"

Tony-Stark looked at the block below, feeling Shocker unsettled, and the hairs on his back stood up.

It's so quiet.

Compared to the loud explosions over there, there was total silence here, you could even hear a pin drop on the ground.

There are no living people on the streets, only lifelike stone sculptures standing everywhere.

Panic and fear were clearly visible on their faces.

It seemed like I saw some kind of monster or a terrifying sight!

"Jarvis, scan the entire street and connect the surrounding surveillance cameras."

Tony-Stark lowered his voice subconsciously.

In an extremely quiet environment, the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

"I wonder what's going on over there at S.H.I.E.L.D.. Those damn bastards have turned the world into a battlefield, spreading chaos and spawning fear."

Iron Man just finished dealing with the riot that occurred at London.

A Worthy attacked the Prime Minister official residence.

That guy can change the sky, trigger tornadoes and lightning thunderstorms, and is a tough super criminal.

Iron Man, Hawkeye and the second generation Ant-Man, they spent a lot of effort to barely defeat each other.

After receiving the request for help message from S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony-Stark left the job of cleaning the battlefield to Hawkeye.

I quickly returned to North America and flew to Manhattan.

"Sir, a survivor was found three hundred meters away."

Jarvis connected to all the surveillance probes of Manhattan and found a middle-aged man hiding nearby.

He hid in a dark alley and huddled behind a trash can.

"A strange disaster suddenly swept across and turned everyone into this?"

Tony-Stark made a preliminary judgment. As he joined Avengers and dealt with various super criminals over the years, his psychological quality and endurance have greatly improved.

Aliens, foreign gods, even mysterious mages... and so on.

Iron Man has encountered them all.

While scanning the surrounding environment, he is wary of enemies;

As he approached the alley, he was ready to get more information from the other party.

"Hello, I'm Avengers, Iron Man, Tony-Stark... man, I think you should often see me on TV or in the news, right."

Tony, who announced his family name, used his humor as always to try to relieve the other party's pressure.

"You need medical assistance, or..."

The middle-aged man huddled in the corner waved his hands vigorously and lowered his voice. "Shh! Don't talk!"

"There's nothing you can do, that's a monster!"

Iron Man could see the deep fear in the middle-aged man's eyes. He was like a frightened child, on the verge of mental collapse.

"Hey, I'm Avengers, I can..."

Bang!

A huge figure fell to the ground.

Interrupting Iron Man's comforting words.

"Tony-Stark..."

The rough voice sounded like rusty metal rubbing against each other.

Iron Man Through the helmet, he saw the uninvited guest clearly.

As the middle-aged man said, he is a monster.

Nearly three meters tall, with a steel-like glossy black color all over its body.

It's like a "Swamp Thing" formed by absorbing a large amount of metal and bonding it together.

The eyes emitted a dark yellow gloomy light, and his right hand held a conspicuous square hammer.

"Destruction!"

The steel monster shouted loudly, and the hammer swung out a circle of green flames.

Like a flame, it swelled in the storm and filled the alley.

Iron Man Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly erected an alloy shield and prepared to resist the attack.

However, the green flame did not touch him, but passed through the gold and red Iron Suit.

Click.

Iron Man turned his head suddenly and saw that the middle-aged man turned into a stone sculpture in an instant.

There was an extremely profound look of fear on his face.

"It turns out it was you."

Iron Man's voice was full of anger.

He raised his two mechanical arms, and the cannons in his palms fired out beams of light, knocking away the monster wielding the hammer.

"Sir, I searched for relevant information from the database of S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Jarvis's intelligent voice can provide timely information to facilitate subsequent battles.

"His name is Carl-Kree. He used to be a boxer and later worked for Hydra."

"The codename is 'Absorbing Man'. It can change the molecular structure of the body and imitate any material it comes into contact with."

Iron Man nodded, no wonder this guy was covered in metal objects.

Like a turtle's hard shell, it has extremely strong defensive power.

"What about the hammer that can turn people to stone? Can any useful information be analyzed?"

Iron Suit flew into the air and temporarily left the battlefield.

"It cannot be scanned, let alone detected."

Jarvis gave the answer helplessly.

"Well, it looks like I have to fight alone."

Iron Man curled his lips. He hated things that couldn't be explained or quantified scientifically.

For example, magic.

roar!

"Destruction!"

Absorbing Man held Destroyer's Hammer, screamed strangely, and rushed into the air.

The strong jumping power made him hit Iron Man like a long-charged cannonball.

The swinging hammer brought up a strong sound of wind, which seemed to blast the air!

Boom!

The nano-material Iron Suit instantly formed an alloy square shield.

However, Tony-Stark seemed to underestimate the true strength of Worthy. The heavy force directly shattered the strong shield that could withstand artillery.

Iron Suit was hit suddenly, like a bullet coming out of the barrel, spinning at an extremely fast speed and slamming into the ground.

"The suit is 30% damaged and the repair process is being started."

"Broken ribs and extensive muscle contusion have been detected and medical procedures are being initiated."

"..."

The siren rang through Iron Suit's helmet and in the ears of Tony-Stark.

"It was like being hit by a car—"

He had this idea.

"Destruction!"

That's all the weirdo seemed to say.

He landed firmly on the ground and walked towards Iron Man.

The street shook with every step he took.

Very oppressive!

"You want to know why I talk so much nonsense on the battlefield?"

Iron Man, who had a slight concussion, finally regained consciousness.

Despite the pain all over his body, he struggled to get up.

The words were transmitted far away through the loudspeaker.

"Sometimes I also ask myself, why do I become like that spider baby who likes to wear pajamas when I encounter an enemy? I can't stop chattering and saying stupid things."

Iron Man Put his hands together, and the parts of the mechanical arm snap together to form a huge barrel.

The Arc Reactor on the chest was constantly charged, causing nearly ten muzzles to light up with white light.

"—because we're scared, because we're afraid."

Iron Man grabbed the ground with both legs and smashed deeply into the concrete pavement like a pile driver. This was to prevent himself from being thrown away by the astonishing recoil force.

"Yes, superheroes are also afraid of death, injury, and loss."

"Some people will be scared out of their wits by fear, but some people... they can turn fear into strength!"

Boom!

The high temperature that melts everything spurts out!

Absorbing Man raised Destroyer's Hammer, and Fear God-force created circles of ripples, blocking this terrifying energy cannon like a force field.

"By the way, I named it 'Gustav Cannon'. It can level half the city!"

Tony-Stark still didn't shut up.

He tried hard to steady his steps, but with little success.

The energy cannon released with full force pushed Iron Suit, constantly moving backward.

The ground dragged out a deep ravine, as if it had been plowed.

Absorbing Man also had a hard time.

His "metal body" melted slowly like ice cream under high temperatures.

When the two faced each other, a vortex in the void suddenly opened.

Carrying Mjolnir, Thor, and Loki.

They then appeared and rushed to the battlefield.

"Looks like you're in a little trouble, Stark!"

Thor said teasingly, and brought Loki to the ground.

"You won't die just yet—unless you plan to stand back and watch the show."

Iron Man struggled to squeeze these words out of his mouth Barry.

"Don't worry, the earth can be saved! I brought - Nine Realms's army!"

Thor said happily.

He glanced at that Worthy, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

The minions of Serpent Kur are the enemies of Asgard!

"Let me take care of this guy."

Thor raised his hand and threw out Mjolnir.

The thunder hammer penetrated the atmosphere, emitted electric current, and hit Absorbing Man, which was barely holding on.

"Thor, don't let him... touch your hammer!"

Iron Man seemed to remember something and said anxiously.

However, it was too late.
