Chapter 26

When people in the city saw so many iron robots streaking through the sky, their cheers grew even louder.

The sheer number of Iron Man Armors flying in, coated in various colors, naturally drew most people's attention. After all, this was the first time Tony had revealed other types of Mark Suits to the public.

"Superhero Iron Man..."

Su Chen naturally knew who was inside the red-and-gold Iron Man Armor flying overhead.

Come to think of it...

When he was little, he had greatly admired people like superheroes.

After all, everyone had the heart to be a hero.

Ironically, he had now become a supervillain.

To deal with him, Iron Man had even brought out his trump card.

Boom!!

In an instant, two black-coated Iron Man Armors swooped in from either side. Driven by their Arc Reactors, they moved faster than the speed of sound, too fast for Su Chen's dynamic vision to follow.

Bang!

A tremendous impact, powerful enough to shatter the ground, struck him head-on.

Su Chen's expression remained blank.

Like a reef battered by raging waves, he stood rooted to the ground without budging an inch.

After the baptism of a nuclear explosion, his terrifying physique had already been tempered countless times. The impact from mere supersonic speed was nothing.

[Dynamic vision +10]

[Dynamic vision +10]

The system he had constructed continued to display information about his evolution.

Su Chen's face went cold as a surge of telekinetic power erupted from his mind. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying force repelled the two attacking iron robots, blasting them over a hundred meters away.

And at that moment...

Several Iron Man Armors landed steadily on the ground before him.

Mark Armor-24, Heavy Tank.

As its name suggested, the Heavy Tank model of Mark Armor was massive and cumbersome, its bulky appearance devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

Tony had designed this heavy combat armor to deal with Hulk.

But now, to completely imprison Su Chen, who could absorb energy, he had no choice but to bring it out.

Thud!!

The ground shook as the heavy robots, each nearly three meters tall, took a step. The bulky machines quickly accelerated, running toward Su Chen.

"Hmm..."

Su Chen frowned. For some reason, he sensed an enemy coming up behind him.

This seemed to be an ability his infinitely evolving mutant genes had newly developed in recent days.

Anticipating an enemy's attack...

A godlike intuition...

[Combat Intuition]

At least, that was how the system he had constructed displayed it.

Su Chen came to a realization.

And sure enough, just as his Combat Intuition had indicated, an Iron Man Armor appeared behind him, where there had been no sign of movement or any detectable fluctuations.

Mark Armor-15, Sneaky!!

The stealth unit of the House Party Protocol was perfectly suited to covert assassinations, with countermeasures against radar and energy detection.

Crack!!

At that moment, the Sneaky iron robot, which had approached without a trace, wrapped its steel arms around Su Chen's waist and held him tight.

Meanwhile, several Heavy Tank Mark robots had charged up to him.

They wrapped their bulky metal arms tightly around Su Chen's arms.

"Kid, that's enough."

Iron Man Tony's voice came from the robot in front of him.

More than a dozen Mark iron robots of various types were flying patrols high overhead. No matter how one looked at it, Tony seemed certain of victory.

To avoid giving an opponent capable of absorbing energy even the slightest bit of it, Tony relied solely on close-range restraint and planned to take him to a prison of his own.

"That's it?"

Su Chen sneered.

"What?"

As Tony spoke in disbelief, Su Chen reached back with both hands and gripped a mechanical arm in his right hand. Without any apparent effort, he crushed the metal armor, which was tough enough to withstand a barrage of shells, in one hand.

With a surge of strength, Su Chen snapped off one arm of the Heavy Tank robot in front of him.

"Are you kidding me? You think this junk can hold me?"

Su Chen, who had shown no advantage in physical strength before this, now displayed his might.

His freed right hand clenched into a fist.

Whoosh!!

He punched, producing a faint sonic boom. The thirteen-year-old boy's fist carried immense, terrifying power as it smashed the Heavy Tank robot's head apart.

Roar!!

Su Chen let out an angry roar and shook his whole body. A surge of energy burst from within him, blasting away the Sneaky robot holding him around the waist from behind.

At that moment, the last remaining Heavy Tank robot activated its thrusters, trying to carry Su Chen up off the ground.

"Hmph."

Su Chen snorted coldly. After being carried a little over ten meters, he used his telekinesis to plant his feet firmly in midair. Then he clenched his fist and punched the bulky robot in the head.

Boom!!

The plain, unadorned punch, one that showed not the slightest trace of combat training, brutally and unstoppably smashed the robot's head apart.

At that moment...

Tony was dumbstruck.

"Plan B has officially failed. The opponent possesses an unstoppable physique. Analysis has yet to determine how he came to possess so many abilities."

JARVIS's completely emotionless words struck Tony hard.

Damn it!!

What should I do now?

Chapter 26

Crack!!

Su Chen stepped forward with his right foot and stomped the fallen iron robot, which was still moving, to pieces.

[Perception +10]

[Telekinesis +30]

[Awakened: Tactile Sensation at a Distance]

[Awakened: Low-Light Vision]

His infinitely mutating genes had found another direction for evolution.

He had been unable to detect the invisible Sneaky iron robot earlier, but now he had evolved traits to counter it.

Hum!!

A ripple passed through his clear eyes, their whites and dark irises distinct, and a faint light flickered in them.

Soon...

Not far from Su Chen, the figure of another robot hiding in the darkness was revealed.

This was something he had not been capable of before.

Not only that, but to further counter stealth units of this kind, Su Chen's perception had also undergone a transformation: Tactile Sensation at a Distance.

Touch was a change in sensation caused by contact with the skin.

Tactile Sensation at a Distance, naturally, meant that his invisible, intangible perception could give him feedback on everything it swept over.

Right now, for instance, the perception he had spread behind him outlined the figure of a slender, gaunt man in his mind. The man held a long samurai sword aloft, advancing toward him step by step and slashing the sword at his neck.

Clang!!

At that critical moment, Su Chen suddenly reached out with his right hand and caught the completely invisible samurai sword.

"Hmm..."

The assassin, whose figure had been completely exposed after emerging from stealth, had no idea how Su Chen had seen through his whereabouts.

He couldn't understand it!!

Nor did he know that Su Chen had been unable to see through his concealment just seconds ago, and had evolved a countering trait after being stimulated by the Sneaky robot.

But what alarmed him even more was...

His opponent's grip was terrifyingly strong!

Bang!!

The long samurai sword slashing at his neck, forged from Adamantium, was easily crushed in Su Chen's hand.

"Damn it!!"

Seeing Su Chen turn around and sensing that his enemy's physical strength was somewhat outrageous, the assassin immediately concealed himself in the air again and swiftly moved out of his opponent's attack range while invisible.

This is bad!!

His opponent's cold eyes were filled with mockery, his gaze fixed squarely on the assassin, as though the boy could see straight through his invisibility.

"Kid!!"

The masked assassin sneered.

You think you're so special?

The next second...

Amid invisible ripples in space, his figure vanished without a trace.

"Interesting."

A hint of interest appeared on Su Chen's impassive face. Could this enemy who had suddenly attacked him teleport too?

It happened in an instant.

A terrifying gust struck from behind again. Having teleported behind Su Chen, the assassin drew another long blade from his waist and slashed fiercely at Su Chen's back.
