Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Lin Yi looked up at the direction of the satellite, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds and landing on a satellite in near-Earth orbit.

The Stark Industries satellite's sensor array is currently pointed at this area.

It seems Tony also sensed something was wrong and was scanning?

A thousand meters underground… Lin Yi munched on popcorn, pondering. Could Stark's technology penetrate that depth? Probably not.

Should I tell him?

Thinking about it, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, realizing that it seemed a bit too late. The crimson corrosive energy had already begun to spread from underground, and it would break through the surface in just a few seconds.

The big guy's awake? Oh dear, this is getting a bit tricky. Will Tony's massive combat machine arrive in about ten minutes?

Lin Yi hesitated for two seconds. To be honest, he didn't have much of a connection with this universe, nor did he intend to be any kind of savior. But with that thing several hundred meters tall about to awaken, it was questionable whether Tony could even withstand the first round.

Forget it, I'll still talk to him. After all, he's not some kind of demon. Besides, the other Tony has the Anti-Celestial suit, so he might have already fought the Celestials. Maybe he knows something. It'll be easier to communicate and get information later if I curry favor with him.

"Tony, a giant corrosive monster is about to awaken a thousand meters underground. Be careful."

Below, Tony was wielding his energy blade and battling the eroding monster when Lin Yi's voice suddenly rang out from within his rock, startling him.

Tony's movements faltered, and he almost got grabbed by the eroded monster's claw. He slashed down the monster in front of him and turned around, his mask quickly zooming in on Lin Yi's location.

Lin Yi held the popcorn and looked at him across the distance. When he saw Lin Yi looking over, he nodded expressionlessly.

"Jarvis, did you hear that?" Tony's voice was deep.

[Sir, I haven't detected any communication signal intrusion. What do you mean?]

Tony pursed his lips. He understood Lin Yi's nod; the voice he had just heard was not an illusion.

How did he do that? What kind of method allows him to speak into someone's head? And Jarvis didn't even give any warning or detect it. Also, why did he call himself Tony right away? Are they that close?

Okay, the last sentence isn't very important.

"Jarvis, activate the Earth's crustal sensing array at the base of Stark Tower. Target: directly below me, 1,000 meters deep. Full power scan!"

"By the way, get a full deep neural scan of my head."

[Received, sir. Initiating the plate sensor. Countdown complete in 10 seconds...]

[Initiating deep neural scan sequence...]

Tony leaped into the air, and the six floating cannons returned, forming a defensive array around him and repelling the monsters that tried to approach. He clenched his fists and stared at the two progress bars in the corner of his mask.

[Scan complete, sir. No abnormalities were found in your head or central nervous system.]

Before Tony could respond, Jarvis's report followed, his speech suddenly becoming much faster.

[Sir! Plate tectonics complete! Giant biological structure detected at a depth of 1061 meters!]

[Target size: Estimated height (upright): 93 to 109 meters! Vital signs: Extremely high! It is awakening!]

[Target Classification Matching: Erosion Zone Timber Level Unit! Threat Level Assessment: Equivalent to R9! Actual Pollution Dispersion Capacity Will Exceed This Level by at Least Two Levels!]

[Warning! The target organism's surface energy activity rate has surged! It has entered the final awakening phase! Full activation is expected within 15 seconds!]

[Extremely high concentration of erosion energy detected, rapidly propagating towards the surface along geological fissures! Contact countdown: 9 seconds! 8 seconds!]

The series of messages made Tony's heart race and his pupils contract.

Matrix, R9 level!

How could this thing be here? How could it possibly be here!

R9, an existence that even Thor couldn't handle!

Furthermore, monsters in the eroded zone cannot survive in normal areas for long periods—a characteristic discovered through countless studies! It forms the cornerstone of all defense systems and countermeasures!

But now, this foundation stone, a thousand meters deep beneath his feet, has been crushed to pieces by a monster nearly a hundred meters tall!

Well, Tony was actually unwilling to admit it, but from the moment he learned of Manna's appearance as a corrupting monster, this cornerstone ceased to exist. He could have comforted himself by thinking that perhaps it was an accident, or perhaps it was a newly emerged variant of the corrupting monster.

But now, a series of frequent unexpected events have once again shown him how cruel reality is!

[Environmental erosion level updated! Current coordinates: R6! Continuing to rise! R6.5! R6.8!]

[WARNING: The current maximum rated corrosion resistance field of the MK137 suit is R6! Exceeding this limit will cause the protective barrier to collapse and irreversible corrosion mutations in the user!]

[Emergency evacuation protocol triggered! Sir, you must leave the current area!]

[A remote evacuation procedure has been initiated. Targets: Ms. Morgan Stark and Ms. Pepper Potts. They are currently in a separate refuge unit on the third basement level of Stark Tower.]

Evacuate? Tony gritted his teeth, his mind racing, and he issued another series of orders.

"Contact Thor, contact Carol, wherever they are! Tell them to come back immediately!"

"Highest level response to the city wall agreement, activate the chain reaction! Evacuation and refuge in nearby cities is initiated!"

"The combat machine is accelerating! I need to see the main body within three minutes!"

Tony doesn't intend to leave, nor can he leave.

He wasn't fearless, but he knew all too well what an R9-level mother unit meant.

This is not a simple combat unit; it is a breeding unit. It causes erosion exceeding R9+2, which is R11. Once the erosion intensity exceeds R10, it will completely transform the covered normal area into an eroded zone.

What will happen then? This brand-new erosion zone will become a stronghold for the eroding monsters in the heart of the normal human area!

They will use the eroded land as a springboard to spread outwards, causing more cities to fall!

[A high-priority encrypted beacon has been sent to Ms. Marvel's public communication node; awaiting a response.]

[Signal reception has been confirmed with Asgard; awaiting response.]

[Thrust overload mode activated, accelerator separation propulsion initiated. The main body is expected to land in 2 minutes and 51 seconds. The auxiliary equipment compartment will be propelled forward at double speed, expected to arrive 55 seconds later than the main body.]

Tony watched the commands being executed with a blank expression, and said again, "Activate the MK199 prototype suit."

Jarvis was silent for a moment.

[Sir, the MK199 combat suit has been removed from the laboratory equipment list and is flying at high speed towards your coordinates. It is expected to arrive in 17 seconds.]

[I need to remind you that the stability of this suit is only 37%, and the safe combat time under high-intensity use is 15 minutes.]

"I know..." Tony paused for a moment, "Notify Morgan and the other Tony Stark, and tell them to prepare to activate the Anti-Celestial Suit."

"Hopefully, we won't end up needing to use that stuff..."
