I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 205 Tony is Attacked

He gave a disdainful laugh.

Loki walked through the crowd.

Among a group of people wearing white protective suits and holding scanning equipment, they came to Mjolnir, "Thor's Hammer".

Looking at this artifact that once belonged exclusively to Thor, Loki's left hand twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but place it on the handle of Mjolnir's hammer, then tried to pull it out.

but.

As always.

Loki's power could not budge Mjolnir in the slightest.

Some of Loki's skepticism led him to place his other hand on Mjolnir's hammer handle, even channeling his own magic and divine power.

Even though he gritted his teeth and used all his strength.

It still couldn't shake Mjolnir in the slightest.

Loki, having failed in his attempt, quickly gave up on his foolish move.

[Heh, as expected, even though I have now inherited the crown of Asgard, Mjolnir, as an Asgardian artifact, still refuses to acknowledge me.]

So, in "their" eyes, am I still an outsider, even though I have the blood of frost giants flowing through my veins?

Just wait and see. I will prove that I am the most suitable heir to the throne of Asgard, more so than Thor.

Loki looked up at the sky, straightened his clothes, and then left the makeshift base without hesitation.

·························

When that rainbow bridge spanning the starry sky shines again.

Located on the top floor of a two-story hotel in the town of Puens, the clown Erin felt the increased life force within him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"They say they don't believe it, but their actions tell a different story, don't they?"

He said it jokingly.

Arryn the Clown thought to himself, "I wonder how much this deal of mine will ultimately change. But given Loki's personality, the final outcome will probably be..."

He shook his head.

After giving himself a vial of nutritional supplement, the clown Erin sat down on the bed, cleared his mind, and began to visualize the [Cosmic Brain Meditation Method].

In terms of cultivation, he seems even more fanatical than in his physical body.

·······················

at the same time.

Chinatown, New York.

Just as Erin finished showering and was about to lie down on the bed to begin her meditation practice...

A panicked scream and a man's painful groan came from downstairs.

When I heard that extremely familiar voice.

Erin's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly disappeared from the spot.

·······················

The first floor of Erin's house.

Happy, his back soaked in blood, gritted his teeth and carried the bleeding Tony Stark straight to the front door of the Arryn family mansion.

Just as Happy rushed through the gate with Tony in his arms, Pepper slammed the thick security door on the first floor of the Erin house shut with a bang.

Before Pepper could even breathe a sigh of relief after closing the door.

After roughly shoving Tony onto the sofa on the first floor, Happy, whose back was still dripping with blood, dragged Pepper away from behind the door.

"Don't stand here, this kind of security door can't stop that madman's whip."

After saying that, Happy, with a serious expression, quickly said to Pepper, "Pepper, go find some gauze to stop Tony's bleeding. I'll stay here and watch over him."

Although Happy is usually carefree and irresponsible, he turned out to be surprisingly reliable in this dangerous situation.

Seeing Happy's serious expression, Pepper quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful, Happy. I just called the police, they'll be here soon. We just need to hold out until they arrive."

As one of New York's most famous billionaires, Tony Stark's personal safety is a major concern for the New York Police Department.

After all, in addition to being wealthy, Tony Stark is also the New York Police Department's largest private sponsor.

As the New York Police Department's biggest financial backer, the department, which is always under budget constraints, practically worships Tony Stark like royalty.

They didn't want anything to happen to Tony Stark, their generous benefactor.

That's why, after receiving Pepper's emergency call...

The top brass of the New York headquarters were alarmed.

They immediately relayed the task of protecting Tony Stark to several police stations near Chinatown.

but.

Even with the NYPD's swift response, it would still take time to mobilize personnel and locate Tony Stark and his team, who had fled in disarray after the terrorist attack.

·····················

"Don't worry! I know what to do."

As he spoke, Happy grabbed a lamp from the entryway and carefully huddled against the wall by the door.

He tried to use the electrified table lamp in his hand to deal with the madman who might break down the door at any moment.

At the same time, Happy vowed in his heart that next time, even if that gun of kindness hurt his stomach again, he would keep it with him instead of leaving it in the car.

If I had been carrying that Spear of Kindness, I would never be in such a sorry state now.

Looking at Happy, who was standing warily behind the door.

After saying "Be careful," Pepper ran straight towards the place she remembered where the Erin family kept their medical insurance.

·······················

After Erin quickly ran down from the third floor.

What they saw was Pepper rummaging through drawers and cupboards, and Happy hiding behind the wall by the door, cautiously holding a lamp and looking on guard.

He frowned slightly as he glanced at Tony Stark, who was lying on the sofa covered in blood and scorch marks, and who was faintly smelling of burning flesh. He was in a semi-comatose state.

As Erin came down the stairs, she looked at Pepper, who was searching for something, and asked with some confusion, "Aunt Pepper, what happened? And Tony, didn't he have Iron Man armor? How did he get beaten up like this?"

Upon hearing Erin's voice, Pepper showed no intention of answering Erin's question. Instead, she asked anxiously, "Erin, do you remember where we put the first-aid kit? I remember it should have been here..."

"On your left, the second shelf of the top cabinet."

As Erin shook his head in response to Pepper's question, he walked toward the sofa where Tony was lying, and said to Happy, who was standing guard behind the door:

"The lamp you're holding is my grandmother's favorite. You'd better put it back. If you want to deal with any enemies, there's a more suitable weapon in the first drawer of the cabinet where that lamp is kept..."

After hearing what Erin said.

Happy, who was standing guard at the door, had a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know these were your grandmother's belongings..."

After quickly putting the old table lamp back in its place, Happy followed Erin's directions and swiftly found a silver pistol in the drawer.

"GOOD!"

Upon seeing the pistol in the drawer, Happy's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it out of the drawer.

After opening the magazine and checking the bullets, Happy quickly chambered a round with both hands and then cautiously returned to his post behind the wall.

but.

Compared to before, Happy, who was holding a pistol, was less flustered.

·····························

At the same time.

Pepper, standing next to the cabinet on the other side, also saw the large first-aid kit she had seen at Erin's house before.

"Found it."

Pepper's face lit up with joy when she saw that the large first-aid kit she remembered was still there.

Then he grabbed the large first-aid kit and ran toward Tony, who was lying on the sofa groaning.

However, just as she ran to the sofa carrying a large first-aid kit...

But then I saw...

Arlin roughly tore open the fabric that was stuck to Tony Stark's bloodied and mangled back.

He casually tossed the tattered clothes, stained with blood, aside.

Arryn extended his right hand and placed it lightly on the upper back of Tony Stark.

[Intermediate Holy Light Healing]

next second.

A soft, milky-white ball of light condensed from Arryn's outstretched hand and landed on Tony Stark's back, much to the astonishment of Pepper and Happy.

The moment that milky-white ball of light, comparable in size to a football, landed on Tony Stark's back.

A dazzling white light shot out from Tony Stark's back, quickly illuminating the entire room.

····························

And at the same time, the dazzling holy light illuminated Erin's entire room.

The fleeting white light also caught the attention of Ivan Vanko, who was tracking Tony Stark and the bloodstains left by Happy, and had come to this street.

Looking at the house that suddenly lit up with white light, Ivan Vanko, with a toothpick in his mouth, a strange device strapped to his upper body, and a bizarre whip in each hand, a sinister smile flashed across his face.

"Found you!"

As he spoke, Ivan Vanko flicked his wrists, and two long whips snapped open in mid-air with a loud crack.

A series of electric sparks shot out from the energy whip that shone with a dangerous aura.

Ivan Vanko, meanwhile, dragged the two energy whips along, hurtling towards the house not far away, his path streaked with sparks.

·······························································

Inside Erin's house.

After the blinding white light dissipated.

Pepper immediately covered her mouth and let out a gasp.

"Oh my god!"

As Pepper gasped, the large first-aid kit she was carrying in her other hand slammed onto the carpet with a thud.

but.

Whether it was Pepper or Happy, who was staring in disbelief not far away.

At this moment, everyone's attention was completely focused on Tony Stark on the sofa, and they paid no attention to the first aid kit that had fallen to the ground.

All I saw was...

Tony Stark's back, which was a bloody mess just moments before, covered in scorch marks and gashes, was now, after the white light faded, left only a few pinkish scars.

That smooth back looked no different from before.

Tony Stark, who had been in a semi-comatose state due to his severe injuries, quickly awoke with a groan.

After regaining consciousness.

Tony Stark, who was lying on the sofa, subconsciously touched his back.

He reached down and rubbed his back several times.

After discovering that his previously severely injured back had healed, Tony Stark breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Pepper beside him, "See? I made the right choice."

Pepper, seeing Tony's reaction, seemed to realize what was going on. She frowned slightly and said, "So this is why you insisted I bring you here after that madman beat you so badly? You knew all along that Erin could save you?"

After speaking, Pepper glanced at Tony, then at Erin.

Then, he crossed his arms and placed them on his chest, saying, "You two owe me an explanation."

Tony: "......"

Erin: "..."

Looking at Tony Stark's now healed back.

Happy, gripping the gun with both hands, felt the sharp pain in his back and weakly said, "Um, if you can, give me a go too. Tony, you know, that whip hurts like hell."

As he spoke, Happy deliberately straightened his equally blood-soaked back.

Earlier, in order to save Tony, Happy's back was accidentally grazed by that madman's whip, and a large chunk of flesh was torn off.

Although his injuries were not as severe as Tony's, they were not minor either.

Happy's determination is evident in how he's managed to grit his teeth and persevere until now.

Therefore, after seeing Tony's injuries heal instantly under that magical white light, he couldn't help but speak up, wanting to do the same.

Upon hearing Happy's voice, Tony immediately turned his head toward Erin beside him.

"Hey, Erin, could you please treat Happy too? He..."

"boom!"

Before Tony could finish speaking, a piercing crackling sound and a loud bang came from outside Erin's house.

The loud bang caused the unusually thick gate of the Erin family's house to tremble slightly.

It was as if an extremely terrifying attack had landed directly on Erin's door.

"hidden!"

Happy, who was originally thinking of healing Erin, was so startled by the loud noise that he immediately shouted.

At the same time, he quickly shrank behind the wall, gripped the pistol tightly in his hands, and stared intently at the door.

Tony, who was also startled by the loud noise, immediately stepped in front of Pepper, shielding her behind him.

Seeing Tony Stark's actions, Erin nodded almost imperceptibly, then quickly said, "Tony, take Aunt Pepper to the basement to hide."

"No, I'll stay here. You and Pepper go hide in the basement."

Upon hearing Tony's voice, a strange glint flashed in Erin's eyes.

"Are you sure you want me to go hide for a while?"
