He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

Payne's voice was carried by the rain, echoing above the abandoned high-rise buildings.

"Jarvis, analyze the target's energy intensity."

Tony's visor's scanning system instantly locked onto the source of the sound, marking a red dot on the virtual map.

"Scanning, sir."

After a moment, Jarvis's voice became unusually solemn.

"The energy fluctuations within the target are extremely unusual and cannot be accurately quantified, but preliminary assessments indicate that its threat level is at least above that of Graven."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "Stronger than Darkseid's son? Interesting."

Gong Qing, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked up at the distant tower.

The orange-haired figure appeared and disappeared in the rain, his purple Rinnegan eyes looking down on mortals like a god.

"This is the village chief? He looks pretty arrogant."

"This person's aura is strange; he doesn't seem like a living person."

Zhang Zhiwei raised his hand to stop his disciple from stepping forward, his eyes fixed intently on Pain.

"More like some kind of...puppet?"

Gao Ning added expressionlessly, "My Crimson King sensed it. There was no soul fluctuation in that body, only that chakra was flowing."

"puppet?"

Tony squinted.

"So that means the real body is controlling this body from somewhere else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pain raised his right hand, palm facing the abandoned high-rise below.

"Shinra Tensei"

An invisible repulsive force erupted from the palm, instantly compressing the air and transforming it into a visible shockwave that roared down.

boom!

The entire abandoned high-rise building broke in the middle, with bricks and concrete exploding like popcorn, sending smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

Tony reacted extremely quickly, activating the armor jets instantly and propelling his body into the air.

Zhang Zhiwei raised his hand and waved, and the Golden Light Mantra transformed into a protective shield that enveloped the three disciples, allowing them to withstand the aftershocks of the shockwave.

The Quanxing trio is more direct.

Gao Ning activated Crimson King, erasing time. The three disappeared from their original positions before the shockwave hit, and reappeared on the roof of another building a hundred meters away the next second.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The original high-rise buildings have been reduced to ruins, with piles of rubble.

Pain, the Deva Path, hovered in mid-air, looking down at the crowd.

"Outsiders, this is a warning."

"Leave Amegakure, or die."

Tony hovered in the air, a playful expression on his face beneath his visor.

"Jarvis, what was the energy reaction of that attack just now?"

"Repulsive field, covering an area of ​​about fifty meters, with enough power to destroy a building, and no charging required, is classified as a high-threat skill."

"interesting."

Tony raised his hands, and the energy cannons in his palms began to charge.

"Warning received, but I refuse to comply."

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of energy shot towards Pain.

Payne raised his hand and launched Shinra Tensei once more.

The energy beam collided with the repulsive field and exploded in mid-air, scattering sparks everywhere.

But this was just a feint.

Tony flashed around to Payne's back from the side, his right fist enveloped in black particles, and slammed into the back of Payne's head.

"Conqueror's Haki Black Hole Fist!"

Payne didn't turn around, but simply said something calmly.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

An invisible force of gravity erupted from his palm, instantly causing Tony to lose his balance and be forcibly pulled toward Payne.

Payne turned around, clenched his right fist, and aimed it at Tony's chest.

"Shinra Tensei"

boom!

With repulsive and attractive forces acting simultaneously, Tony's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through three buildings before barely coming to a stop.

"Sir, the armor is 12% damaged, and there is a crack in the reactor shield on the chest."

Jarvis's warning sounded.

Tony climbed out of the rubble and shook his head.

"This guy's ability is really overpowered; he can switch between gravity and repulsion at will, making him impossible to hit in close combat."

He looked up at the sky, where Payne remained suspended, his expression indifferent.

"Looks like we need to change our approach."

On the other side, Gong Qing stubbed out his cigarette and licked his lips.

"This puppet is pretty good; even Tony had a run of bad luck with it."

"Brother Qing, should we go up?"

Xia He was eager to try.

Gong Qing shook his head.

"Don't rush, let's see what other tricks he has up his sleeve."

"but……"

He grinned.

"Since this puppet is being controlled remotely, why should we fight it?"

"Why not just go and take down the controller's base?"

Gao Ning nodded.

"The Crimson King can conceal our presence. Once we locate his true form, we'll launch a surprise attack."

Gong Qing clapped his hands.

"That's settled then. Xia He, you go and keep that puppet occupied. Gao Ning, come with me to find the main body."

"Master, you and your disciples should provide support from the outside. Don't let anyone else interfere."

Zhang Zhiwei remained silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"I understand."

Xia He, holding a lace umbrella, flashed and headed straight for Pain.

She raised her hand and waved it, and countless bubbles condensed in the air, shimmering with an eerie purple glow.

"Come and have some fun, Mr. Puppet."

The bubble floated toward Payne, and the moment it touched the repulsive field, it emitted a hissing, corrosive sound.

Payne frowned slightly and raised his hand to increase the repulsive force.

However, the bubbles were not completely deflected; instead, they left charred marks on the repulsive field.

"What kind of ability is this?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Payne's eyes.

Xia He smiled sweetly.

"This is called corrosion, understand?"

She waved again, and more bubbles appeared, surrounding Payne completely.

Pain raised his hand, and chakra gathered in his palm.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

Gravity bursts forth, attempting to attract the bubbles.

However, the bubbles did not gather together under the influence of gravity; instead, they burst open, turning into a cloud of poisonous mist.

The poisonous fog enveloped Payne, corroding the puppet's body.

Payne flashed away from the poisonous fog and landed on the top of a tall building.

He looked down at the corroded sleeve, his eyes growing colder.

"The abilities of these outsiders are beyond the scope of ninjas."

He looked up at Gong Qing and Gao Ning, who were moving in the distance.

"They are looking for the location of the main body."

Payne raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

"Spiritual communication techniques."

boom!

As the smoke burst open, a massive three-headed dog emerged from the ground, its gaping maw lunging at Gong Qing.

Gong Qing, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, didn't even turn his head.

"Gao Ning".

Gao Ning raised his hand and waved it, and the Crimson King appeared. The blood-red phantom of the emperor stretched out his hand and made a light stroke.

Time stood still.

The three-headed dog froze in mid-air, its claws only an inch from the back of Gong Qing's head.

Time resumed its flow.

The three-headed dog's body broke in half and vanished into smoke.

Gong Qing didn't turn his head and continued walking forward.

"That's about it for the summoned beasts in this world."

In the distance, a flicker of emotion flashed in Pain's eyes.

"The ability to sever the summoning link with a summoned beast..."

He raised his hand, preparing to form a hand seal again.

A beam of energy shot from the side, interrupting his movements.

Tony hovered in the air, his palm-mounted energy cannon firing continuously.

"Hey, don't get distracted, I'm your opponent."

Xia He waved from the other side, and more bubbles appeared.

"And me too."
