Chapter 68 Escorting the Satellite into Space

Lin Yi looked up and saw countless "fireballs" beginning to appear in the sky. These were generated by the friction of the abnormal beings entering the atmosphere.

He frowned and activated the headset that the original Tony had given him at the beginning.

"Tony, can you hear me? What's going on?"

"Also, is the cosmic virus isolation device malfunctioning? Where did these anomalies come from?"

The sound of Steve and the others chatting in the headset immediately disappeared, and the atmosphere became tense again.

The original Tony Stark quickly responded: "All the satellites carrying the isolation devices have been destroyed. There's a traitor within humanity."

"This happened about a week after you left. I thought it would be those who couldn't resist the gaze first, but I didn't expect that our own people would have problems first." As he said this, the old Tony even laughed self-deprecatingly.

"We have two Ancient Ones here, one with hair and one without. Previously, the bald Ancient One set up protective magic around the satellite, which the Anomalies couldn't destroy. But the Ancient One with hair destroyed the magic circle and, incidentally, smashed the entire satellite to pieces."

"Right now, the two Ancient Ones are battling in the mirror world, and it's unclear who will win..."

Lin Yi's heart sank upon hearing this; he hadn't expected the problem to lie with Gu Yi.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what the Ancient One had said in 2012: don't easily trust her from another universe, because she might be the enemy.

Lin Yi detected subtle magical fluctuations in the air, which should be the connection point of the mirror space created by the Ancient One.

"Tony, do you have any more isolation devices and satellites?" Lin Yi asked quickly. "Send them into space first. The most important thing now is to prevent more anomalies from appearing and drive them out!"

"You think I don't want to?" Old Tony rolled his eyes.

"The isolation device requires a special satellite as a platform to deploy stably and cover the globe. A week ago, we launched three satellites, but two of them failed to reach their intended orbits before the launch vehicle was destroyed by the anomalous entity."

"The last one, escorted to its designated trajectory by multiple automated combat suits, was destroyed before it could even deploy."

"The current situation is that, even with most of our forces combined, we can barely send the satellite up, but we can't hold it. At present, only this suit I'm wearing has the capability for prolonged operations in a vacuum."

"Oh, and that prototype MK97 you brought with me, it might work too."

"What do you mean 'make do'? I've already improved the suit, want to have a showdown?" another dissatisfied voice from Tony rang out.

"You'd be better off killing a couple more anomalies than using that time for that!"

"Quiet down," Lin Yi interrupted them. "So, the current situation is that we have backup satellites and isolation devices, but we'll be attacked by anomalous entities before and after reaching our designated orbit, right?"

"Yes, what are your thoughts?"

Lin Yi raised his hand and drew a circle, but the expected portal did not appear. Back in this universe, the portal had failed again.

With a sigh, Lin Yi looked at the increasingly dense "fireballs" in the sky and nodded, "Activate two automatic combat suits to launch the satellite. I'll take charge of protecting its deployment!"

Old Tony was taken aback. "You alone? Are you sure you can manage?"

"The isolation device requires the satellite to reach a geosynchronous orbit, at which altitudes it's impossible to breathe. The combat effectiveness of the automatic combat suit would be significantly reduced, and it wouldn't last long."

"Ha, it seems you don't know much about Lin Yi," Tony's mocking voice rang out, tinged with a sense of superiority.

"Just get your toy airborne, and Lin Yi will take over from here!"

Are you kidding me? Lin Yi can sleep on the surface of the sun, but he can't guard a satellite?

The original Tony hesitated for only two seconds before agreeing to their proposal.

His assessment of Lin Yi's combat capabilities was limited to what he had demonstrated during the previous battle against Anomalies 78 and 79. The analysis report contained no information about his ability to fight in outer space.

But the other Tony is from the same universe as Lin Yi, so he naturally understands Lin Yi. Therefore, the original Tony trusts this judgment that comes from "himself".

"Alright! Jarvis, activate the Hercules III and IV defensive propulsion suits to escort the Stealth satellite and isolation device. Launch immediately!"

Shortly after the order was given, a sharp whooshing sound came from afar.

A massive, silver-white fairing, shaped like a cone at the front and a pillar at the rear, rapidly ascended, propelled by several thick plumes of exhaust flame. On either side stood a heavy, specially designed combat suit painted white.

The satellite, equipped with isolation devices, is located inside this fairing.

"They're here. Jarvis will use the thrusters to send the satellite into its designated orbit. Lin Yi, you need to protect him closely throughout the mission to prevent any abnormalities from approaching or causing damage. Are you ready?"

"Anytime is fine!"

"Alright, Jarvis, let's move out!"

The thruster exhaust plumes became thicker, and the two propulsion suits followed suit, attaching themselves to both sides of the fairing, steadily increasing thrust.

Almost simultaneously, the anomalous beings on the ground and in the air, as long as they had the ability to fly, all chased after the fairing. These anomalous beings seemed to know what it was.

Lin Yi moved quickly, following the fairing, and maintained flight in a spiral ascent at the same speed, keeping a safe distance from the fairing without any blind spots.

Lin Yi's flight path formed an invisible barrier, and all the abnormal beings who tried to get close were instantly knocked away within a certain range and kept falling from the sky.

From the ground, the scene was quite spectacular. The silver-white fairing, supporting the tail flame, resembled an arrow shooting against the current, constantly impacting and destroying the "torrent" composed of anomalies, stubbornly rising into the sky.

After reaching near-Earth orbit, the number of anomalies visibly decreased, leaving only a few scattered individuals.

"It's still too slow." Lin Yi estimated the time and looked at the thrusters and the two so-called Mighty Gods with some disdain.

"Tony, turn off the thrusters!"

"What?" Old Tony was taken aback.

"Listen to him," another Tony's voice rang out, carrying an unquestionable certainty.

"...Alright, Jarvis, turn off the propulsion system."

The thruster flames went out, and the two propulsion suits moved aside.

Lin Yi flew to the bottom of the fairing, pressed his hands against it, and extended his bio-force field to envelop the entire fairing.

"Jarvis, remember to tell me if you go off course!" Lin Yi reminded him, and the next second, he began to exert force.

The fairing began to accelerate at an astonishing speed, hurtling toward a higher synchronous orbit.

The speed continued to increase, and the surface of Blue Star flew away rapidly beneath his feet. This was the first time Lin Yi had ever flown so fast. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't fly before, but he just didn't have the need to.

In less than twenty minutes, Lin Yi, guided by Jarvis, delivered the fairing to the designated location.

The fairing shell opened automatically, revealing the intricately structured satellite inside.

The satellite quickly deployed, and its core, which carried the isolation device, glowed faintly.

Lin Yi cautiously looked around.

Here, the feeling of being spied on is far stronger than on the ground.

Remembering what the original Tony had said, Lin Yi activated his super vision, and his field of vision rapidly expanded.

He saw countless anomalies swarming toward the newly positioned satellite from the direction of the moon and into the far reaches of deep space.
