Chapter 282 Mutation

"Everyone..."

After coughing, Falcon reminded the Avengers members.

"...The battle is not over yet."

If it were another time and place, he would naturally be willing to listen to his father's introduction to spells.

"Sam's right."

After hearing Falcon's reminder, Steve immediately calmed down his expression, tightened the shield in his hand and said in a deep voice: "[Holy Lord] is the main target of our operation this time."

"Aaron."

Following Steve's words, Dad immediately shouted to the clone [Uncle Long] on the side.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Upon hearing the call, [Uncle Long] made a puzzled expression in cooperation.

"Where is the moth that Dad prepared? We need to find the location of [Holy Lord] through the guidance of the moth."

"Dad, the bottle containing moths was smashed long ago during the crash landing of the previous fighter plane." In response to this, the clone [Uncle Long] put on a hesitant expression on his face and hesitated. After a while, he carefully revealed the bad news to the father in front of him.

"What?!"

Sure enough, after hearing the news given by [Uncle Long], my father's voice subconsciously rose.

"This is a magic moth that dad spent a whole night specially preparing. Aaron, you actually broke it. You just want to piss dad off to death, Aaron!"

"Sorry dad, but under the previous situation, I didn't have much time to react."

Facing his father's angrily scolding, [Uncle Long] could only take the blame with a grimace.

"This is too bad. Without the guidance of the magic moth, we can't find any trace of [Holy Lord] at all."

The father shook his head and said helplessly.

"Although I don't know what the so-called magic moth is." His eyes swept over the father who was sighing beside him. Because of the separation, Tony did not know his father's identity: "However, if it is because of [ Holy Lord], I don’t think it is necessary to use the power of magic.”

As he spoke, Tony whispered an order to Jarvis through his helmet.

The next second, the steel armor standing around activated again, spraying fire from their bodies and flying towards the base.

"The power of technology can also have an effect."

"Technology?" Tony's words obviously touched a sensitive nerve in his father. He looked at Tony, who was wearing a steel suit in front of him, and said in a bad tone: "Do you think technology is better than me, dad?" The magic is more effective?"

"Did I say that?"

Facing his fighting cock-like father, Tony under the helmet couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Technology is evil and the power of the devil. If you rely too much on the power of technology, you will one day suffer the consequences."

Dad obviously has a very deep prejudice against technology, and even likened it to the power of the devil.

"I don't think so. In fact, I think technology is the future trend of mankind. Most of the wars in this world are precisely caused by human mistakes. If we can create a super robot that protects the earth 24 hours a day, Technology, in theory, can reduce all disasters to a minimum. After all, humans may get tired and be shaken by emotional factors, but robots will never get tired as long as parts are replaced frequently."

It seems that from this period onwards, Tony already had the prototype of 'Ultron' in his mind.

In the antique shop, Li Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Tony's remarks.

Obviously, the continuous battles have gradually prompted Tony to have the idea of ​​using robots to protect peace.

If you just listen to Tony's description, it seems that there is no problem with robots replacing superheroes' jobs.

However, judging from the results, it is obvious that Tony overturned.

Although he and Banner successfully created the artificial intelligence 'Ultron' through research on Loki's scepter,

But instead of protecting the world according to his original design ideas, the born 'Ultron' believed that the only way to peace was to eliminate humans and the Avengers.

To put it simply, the artificial intelligence created by Tony to protect peace turned out to be the greatest threat to mankind.

"Absolutely impossible. If one day, mankind is ruled by technology, it will definitely be a catastrophe for mankind. Dad will be the first to stand up and fight against the evil robots."

Based on his understanding of the future, Li Ran was naturally able to use his father's words to come to such a conclusion.

It's just obvious that Tony at this period, without seeing the dangers of 'Ultron', was full of confidence and expectations for the prototype of the artificial intelligence plan.

…

After all, the success of ‘Ultron’ is still some distance away.

In my eyes, the most important thing is the battle with [Holy Lord].

boom--

With a huge explosion, the remains of a gray-blue steel armor flew out of the base and fell in front of Tony.

"Jarvis."

Looking at the broken Mark 40 on the ground, Tony quickly asked Jarvis.

"Target found, sir."

Under the mask, Jarvis played back the last footage taken by the Mark 40 before it was destroyed.

In the picture, the Mark40 flying into the base was shuttled through the narrow corridor. Then a familiar figure wearing a white lab coat was found in a laboratory of the base. Looking at the Mark40 appearing in front of him, the figure's body flashed. With a blazing red light, a blazing flame shot out from the opponent's mouth in the next moment, hitting Mark40 accurately, and then the video screen blurred.

"Killian!"

Seeing the face in the video, Tony couldn't help but blurt out and called the other person's name.

The figure in the picture is clearly Killian.

Judging from the content presented in the video, Killian was obviously also injected with the Extremis virus and had the ability to generate high temperatures and flames.

Bang——

"The armor discovered Killian's figure inside the base."

Here, Tony had just finished watching the content of the video and reminded the Avengers beside him.

The next moment, with a brilliant flash of fire, Killian appeared in front of the Avengers, exuding blazing high temperature and flowing like magma.

"Tony Stark! Avenger!"

Gazing across Tony, who was wearing steel armor in front of him, Killian's face flashed with a dazzling red light.

"Tony Stark, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

"..."

Looking at Killian in front of him, Tony's expression in the steel suit was complicated.

In fact, after what [Holy Lord] said in the villa, and his subsequent series of investigations, Tony already knew the reason why Killian became what he is now, and what he had done in the past. There is an inseparable relationship. It can even be said that he personally promoted Killian's transformation.

"I admit that I did do some unforgivable things in the past."

Acknowledging his past does not mean that Tony lets go of Killian in front of him.

"However, my fault is not an excuse for you to use the Extremis virus to create explosions and panic."

"I'm not doing all this to get your forgiveness, Tony Stark." The temperature in the control body rose again. Under Tony's gaze, Killian's whole body had turned into a red figure: "I want to I want to prove to you, Tony Stark, that the Extremis virus is the most powerful. I want you to experience for yourself what you missed back then..."

As he spoke, Killian opened his mouth, and a stream of blazing flames spurted out of his mouth and fell directly on Tony opposite him.

"Warning, warning, the temperature outside the mecha is rising sharply..."

The temperature generated by the Extremis virus was extremely high, causing great damage to Tony's steel suit almost the moment it was wrapped around him.

In the high temperature, the outer surface of the suit quickly heated up and turned red. In just a few seconds, even the temperature inside the suit reached an unbearable level for Tony.

"Jarvis, calling all armors!"

Raising his arms to resist the raging flames in front of him, Tony gritted his teeth and shouted at Jarvis while enduring the attack of the flames.

"Yes, sir."

Following Tony's order, a few seconds later, a large number of steel armors flew out from the base. One of the armors, which was made of dark silver, directly blocked Killian and Tony, blocking the flames. The blazing flames fell on the armor, but it was not directly destroyed like other previous armors. On the contrary, against the constant flames, this steel armor was like a steel city wall, directly protecting Tony. behind.

Mark23, the high-temperature resistant armor developed by Tony, has multiple layers of thermal insulation protection and defensive armor. It can work normally in extreme temperature environments and can even walk on magma from volcanic eruptions when necessary.

Although the original purpose of developing this armor was not to deal with the Extremis virus, it is clear that Mark 23 has a restraining effect on the Extremis virus that can emit scorching heat. With the cover of Mark 23, Tony quickly changed his armor, replacing the armor that had been blackened by flames with a set of heavy black combat armor.

"Huh~"

After breaking away from the previous set of hot armor and feeling the power of the new armor, Tony breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Killian opposite, and without hesitation ordered the surrounding armors to launch attack commands.

"It seems that there is no chance for us to take action."

Looking at the steel armor that was not afraid of life and death around him, Falcon couldn't help but shrugged.

"These evil and terrible things, they will devour human souls."

Looking at the steel armors that kept appearing around him, Dad tried hard to maintain his personality.

…

Bang——

Bang——Bang——

The ability of the Extremis Virus is certainly powerful, and the combination of high temperature and healing ability allows the injector to cope with most combat situations.

But obviously, no matter how powerful the ability is, it has its limit, let alone the inherently flawed ability of the Extremis Virus. After using the ability to burn and melt the machine armor, Killian began to fall into a crisis, using Mark23 as an arrow. Most of the heavy armor stood in front, blocking Killian's flames, and then the light ones behind him took off, directly suppressing Killian's actions with their flight advantage.

"Give up, Killian, you have no chance of winning."

Using mecha tactics to suppress Killian, inside the Mark24 tank, Tony looked at Killian, who was surrounded by layers of armor, and then spoke.

"Now, tell me Killian, where is [Holy Lord]?"

As Tony controlled the Mark 24 on his body and stepped forward, the armor in front of him moved neatly to both sides to make way for him.

After walking up to Killian and stopping, Tony looked at Killian who was panting across from him, and then asked his purpose.

"..."

He opened his mouth to spray flames, which was directly blocked by Tony's armor. Killian looked at the steel armors surrounding him and the Avengers not far away who were watching him with eager eyes. His face was red due to the high temperature. With a look of despair, the high temperature on his body slowly dropped and he returned to his normal appearance. Killian said silently: "After the failure of the men you arranged, do you think [Holy Lord] has any reason to continue?" Stay here, I have been given up, just like you once did to me..."

He raised his head and glanced at Tony in front of him, Killian said in a desperate tone.

Killian's words made Tony silent for a moment.

However, at this moment, Tony was distracted by his words. Killian hurriedly took out a special box from his coat pocket, opened a syringe containing a red turbid liquid, and plunged it into his body without hesitation.

Push the injection rod to inject all the liquid in the syringe into your body.

"What?!"

Noticing Killian's movements, Tony's face turned aside, and the armor behind him quickly fired a shock wave and hit the opponent's arm holding the syringe.

However, Tony's reaction speed was still a step too late, and all the red liquid in the syringe had been injected by Killian.

"Dad has an ominous premonition!"

Seeing this sudden change in front of him, Dad couldn't help but say something.

"What did you just inject yourself with?"

Under the helmet, Tony's face looked a little ugly.

"Strength, the power given to me by [Holy Lord] to defeat everything!"

Facing Tony's question, Killian had a proud smile on his face, and he laughed excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes suddenly opened wide, dark red meridians covered his body and face, and his expression was ferocious.

ah!

A painful roar came from his mouth, and Killian fell to the ground, struggling and rolling over and over.

As the Avengers watched, Killian's muscles all over his body expanded rapidly, several obvious bulges on his back were constantly rising and shrinking, and black hair visible to the naked eye was spread all over the surface of his body.

After a few minutes, Killian stopped roaring, but his entire appearance had completely mutated.
