Chapter 458 The Powerful Red Omega
"Danger! Danger! Danger!"

The alarm of the artificial intelligence Jarvis sounded. Even with the partitions and protective measures, Howard still felt as if there was a furnace hanging on his chest. After reaching the limit of endurance, without Howard's command, the armor's protective measures automatically stopped the output of the cluster gun.

"boom."

Howard, sweating profusely, couldn't help but take a step back. He was mentally exhausted and physically tired. If he hadn't had the support of the armor, he would probably have fallen directly to the ground.

This is not normal, even the dumbest person can notice it, let alone someone like Howard. He had noticed his own abnormality a long time ago, but the red Omega kept attacking him like a dog-skin plaster, and Howard had no way to spare the time to study what was going on.

With that level of energy output, even Hyperion would be knocked down. Howard finally took advantage of the hard-earned breathing time to check his own condition. It would have been fine if he hadn't checked it, but when he did, he was shocked.

In the physical condition column displayed in the helmet, all of his indicators were lower than the normal average, which simply showed that he was a patient with long-term malnutrition or illness.

Although Howard is a billionaire, he lives a comfortable life and pays equal attention to his physical condition. His physical condition is not the same as that of first-line athletes, but the gap is not very big. He is a shrewd businessman and knows that the body is a person's most important asset.

A physical examination not long ago proved that he was in very good health. When he just put on the armor, all his indicators were normal. But less than ten minutes later, he really became like this.

There is only one answer, that is, his enemy is behind this. This ability to harm other people's bodies should be the ability of MODOK or one of his subordinates.

Howard figured everything out and began to look up and scan his surroundings. He had to find the owner of this ability immediately, otherwise he would most likely die here.

However, the first person Howard saw when he was looking for the mastermind behind the incident was his enemy Red Omega. The opponent's condition at this time could only be described as lingering on. According to Howard's speculation, the opponent obviously possessed physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, otherwise he would not have lost only half of his body under the maximum output power of the cluster gun.

The area from the red Omega's neck down to the thighs had disappeared. If it weren't for the adamantium tentacles and bones connecting them, his remaining limbs would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Looking at the Red Omega's skeleton, which was emitting a strange luster and intact, Howard speculated that he might have replaced all the bones in his body with adamantium, just like the escaped experimental subject.

Otherwise, under the attack of the cluster gun, the opponent's bones should have disappeared like the flesh. However, no matter how strong the skeleton is, it is useless. A living thing cannot survive by relying solely on bones.

Howard's eyes were fixed on the Red Omega. In his opinion, the culprit for his weakening body should be the Red Omega in front of him. The reason why he was so sure was because of the miserable condition of Falcon.

But what puzzled Howard was that he had never had any physical contact with the Red Omega from beginning to end. How on earth did the other party affect him?

The closest the opponent was to him was when he used his laser knife to chop the alloy tentacles, but that was also indirect contact. Why was that?
However, no matter what the reason is, it doesn’t matter now. No matter what kind of mutant ability it is, as long as the owner of the ability is eliminated, the ability will be defeated.

Howard's eyes flashed, and the machine gun on his left shoulder began to deform. The barrel was twice as long, and at the same time, many parts were assembled on the machine gun, and the bullets were replaced. In just a few seconds, the machine gun turned into a sniper rifle.

The armor-piercing bullet used to target tanks was loaded into the gun. After Jarvis took aim, there was a loud bang and a strangely shaped bullet shot into the eye socket of the red Omega at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"when!"

With a crisp crack, the Red Omega's head escaped the high-caliber sniper rifle's blast, and the bullet didn't penetrate his body. This was all thanks to the protection provided by the adamantium alloy. Howard, fearing the bullet wouldn't penetrate the adamantium skull, deliberately fired through the opponent's eye socket. Sure enough, the bullet penetrated, but because it couldn't pass through the skull, it remained in the opponent's head.

However, although his head did not explode, I guess Red Omega's brain has become as dark as yogurt, and he is probably deader than dead.

No! Howard immediately noticed something was wrong. MODOK's most complacent creation had already died at the hands of the man he hated the most, so why was he still able to act like he was confident of victory?

Moreover, not only did his body's health level not recover, but it was also constantly declining. This was too abnormal, which meant that Red Omega was not dead yet.

"what!"

"help me!"

A scream came from behind him. Howard turned his head tiredly and looked behind him. Two alloy tentacles had drilled into the ground at some point, and came around Howard and grabbed the two guests.

Howard didn't dare to act rashly. He felt that his body was on the verge of collapse. The life support system in the armor had automatically started up just now. He had been injected with adrenaline and glucose, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

In the desperate eyes of the two guests, and the fearful or angry eyes of others, the alloy tentacles pierced straight through the bodies of the two guests.

Amidst painful howls, the muscles of the two men pierced by the alloy tentacles deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, their skin became withered, their hair turned gray, and in the blink of an eye they turned into two mummies.

"Whoo~"

The instigator of all this, the Red Omega, let out a comfortable groan, and amidst the horror of the crowd and MODOK's laughter, he began to reshape his body at a speed faster than the naked eye could see.

In less than a second, the red Omega appeared in front of everyone again intact.

"Pooh!"

Red Omega spat out the armor-piercing bullet that had just hit his brain. It fell to the ground with a clang, as if mocking Howard's wasted effort.

"How about this, Howard Stark? This is the ultimate biological weapon I invented!" M.O.D.O.K. spread his arms. "Even the mighty hero Hyperion can't escape unscathed before him!"

"Strengthening the body, self-healing ability, and life force absorption. Red Omega has only demonstrated three of these abilities, and you're already overwhelmed."

"Three?" Howard's weak voice came from the armor. "Don't be ridiculous. I don't believe he's the one who caused me to become like this."
