I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 255 Mechanical Vanguard

Magicians do not perform unprepared acts.

As early as when he discovered that these robots, like the previous Iron Monger Obadiah, possessed a strange and special spiritual aura, Erin began preparing for his performance.

Whether it was the intimidating fireball at the beginning or the hundreds of flame flowers that followed, it was all part of Erin's performance, with the purpose of dispelling the mechanical lifeforms' wariness of fire.

And everything went just as Erin had predicted. Through the groundwork laid in the first two instances, he left the mechanical lifeforms with the impression that the flames Erin unleashed were not very powerful.

Just as they lowered their guard and braced themselves against the attack of the Flame Flower, Erin's hidden killing move within the Flame Flower revealed its ferocious fangs.

Erin instantly killed thirteen bodies.

Oh no.

To be precise, it was twelve robots that brought an end to their short and sinful lives.

As for "Erin," which was torn apart by a metal storm composed of countless bullets, that was another performance by Erin.

Although Erin is quite strong now, he doesn't think he can withstand a bunch of heavy weapons with great destructive power, or missiles from mechanical lifeforms.

So when she first "entered the scene," Erin used her ability to create illusions.

He created an exact replica of himself a dozen meters away to attract the attention of the mechanical beings.

He himself hid in the shadows on both sides of the street.

When the robots finally attacked his phantom clone, the real Erin and Gillis had already leisurely walked into the house where Steve and Natasha were hiding.

·······················

The deafening explosion of more than a dozen mechanical beings silenced the entire battlefield.

The attention of everyone, from the other attacking mechanical lifeforms to the police and agents struggling to hold them off, was instantly drawn to them.

The police force, which was on the verge of collapse, was suddenly confronted by the mysterious magician who blasted more than a dozen mechanical beings to pieces with bursts of flame in an instant.

Their morale soared, and they erupted in cheers.

"Well done."

Those are more than a dozen invulnerable robots.

These ordinary police officers and special agents have paid a heavy, bloody price in the fight, and all they have achieved so far is that they have only killed a dozen or so robots.

Now that the mysterious magician has appeared and saved Iron Man and the others, and even destroyed more than a dozen robots, how could they not cheer for him?

In contrast.

Those were the robots from the mechanical life form side.

After seeing that nearly one-eighth of their already few companions had been instantly wiped out by Erin, the pairs of electronic eyes of various colors immediately turned their hateful gazes toward the place where Erin had disappeared.

However, most of these hateful gazes contained a trace of barely perceptible fear.

·······················

Amidst the cheers of countless spectators, Erin rapidly digested a portion of the [Magician] potion within his body.

While Erin was silently experiencing the increase in strength brought about by digesting the potion.

Natasha, whose body was graze and pierced by machine gun bullets and bleeding profusely, looked at Erin, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, with a shocked expression.

Wow, this is amazing! Is this guy's true strength?

Since meeting this mysterious guy, Erin, Natasha had more than once guessed that Erin was not as simple as he appeared.

But she never imagined that Erin would be so powerful.

Today was the first time Natasha had truly witnessed Erin's power, and this time it deeply shocked her.

In fact, it wasn't just Natasha.

Even Steve Rogers, who had experienced countless wars throughout his life, was shocked by the strength that Erin had just displayed.

However, after the initial shock...

Steve's gaze shifted from Erin to the figure behind Erin, who was smiling sweetly at him.

"Kiris..."

Seeing the slight surprise in Steve's eyes, Gillies smiled sweetly: "What? Curious why I'm here?"

After hesitating for a moment, Steve nodded.

For some reason, Steve felt a strange sense of familiarity with Kiris, who seemed to have known him for a long time, which made him unable to resist getting closer to her.

Steve was even extremely attentive to everything about Kiris.

That's why Steve subconsciously didn't want Kiris to appear on this dangerous battlefield.

"Fool, if I hadn't begged the BOSS to intervene, you'd probably be dead by those guys already. Honestly, after all these years, you haven't changed a bit!"

Halfway through her sentence, Kiris, who was clearly complaining, suddenly chuckled, "But if you really changed, then you wouldn't be Steve anymore."

Seeing the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes, their bromance palpable, Erin, who was silently getting goosebumps, couldn't help but interrupt:

"Alright, now's not the time for idle chatter. If you want to chat, you'll have plenty of time after we deal with those guys outside."

After hearing what Erin said.

Steve and Natasha's expressions both froze, and even the usually relaxed Kiris's face became serious.

Those mechanical lifeforms outside are not easy to deal with.

Although Erin just eliminated twelve mechanical beings, there are still about 80 mechanical beings left on the battlefield.

With the heavy firepower equipped on these machines, taking them down won't be easy.

·······················

He recalled how the Iron Monger Obadiah had been easily intimidated by his "Desperate Gaze," and how these mechanical beings had just been affected by the illusion he had created.

Looking at the mechanical lifeforms outside the window, a sudden realization dawned on Erin.

These guys seem to have some extreme traits.

Their terrifyingly high physical attack and physical resistance would probably give even warriors one or two ranks higher than me a headache when facing such a large group of mechanical lifeforms, but their ridiculously low magic resistance doesn't seem to be impossible for me to handle.

Just then, Kiris pointed to a robot not far away, its body riddled with gashes and even its lightning bolt symbol shattered into pieces, and said:

"Boss, that one robot that survived your attack, the one with the lightning bolt mark on its body, seems to be the leader of these robots. If we take it out, do you think it will cause these robots to collapse?"

Following Kiris's finger, Erin looked at the lightning robot that had gotten up from the ground and nodded, saying, "You can give it a try. I'll go deal with that lightning robot later. You stay here and protect your old friend."

Upon hearing this, Kiris glanced at Steve and laughed, "Protect him? If we leave Steve here now, he'll hate me. Don't worry, Boss, as long as it's not like the situation we just faced, Steve won't get into any trouble."

Upon hearing Kiris's words, Steve nodded. He felt as if Kiris was a confidante, and every word she said resonated with him. These few words instantly increased Steve's goodwill towards Kiris.

At this point, if we were to ask him to ignore the ordinary people being slaughtered by robots outside and hide here to receive protection from a woman, it would be better to kill him.

In contrast, he would rather die on the battlefield.

Seeing Steve nod, Gillies suddenly changed the subject, glancing at Natasha who was injured in several places beside her, and said, "In comparison, this injured Miss Natasha needs someone to protect her more."

Hearing this, Natasha frowned slightly at Kiris, who seemed to harbor some inexplicable hostility towards her, and then quickly pulled out three syringes from her thigh and injected them into her thigh.

After three injections, the bleeding from Natasha's simply bandaged wound slowed down visibly.

Natasha's spirits, however, visibly surged.

As the drug took effect quickly, a few seconds later, Natasha seemed to ignore her injuries, stood up from the ground, and smiled slightly at Kiris:

"In fact, I don't need anyone's protection."

"Really? If that's the case, then that's even better..."

Erin glanced at Kiris, who was arguing with Natasha, and then ignored the two who clearly didn't need his protection anymore. His figure swayed slightly.

Without realizing it, I left the house.

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

"Damn it, those cunning... humans!"

After being blasted away by flaming tarot cards that were incredibly sharp and carried immense force, "Lightning," covered in wounds, angrily got up from the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that its alloy armor was made of a special aerospace alloy that was expensive and had a higher strength and thicker thickness than the armor of ordinary mechanical lifeforms...

It's possible that Erin's flaming tarot cards actually broke through his armor and damaged the core modules inside his body.

Although he survived Erin's attack, twelve of his companions were instantly killed by Erin.

Their deaths were like a slap in the face to the lightning that claimed the flames couldn't harm them.

"You seem very angry?"

Just as Lightning was filled with anger, a laugh tinged with contempt suddenly rang in his ears.

This sudden sound was like a fuse, instantly igniting the lightning's fury, especially when it saw the human walking towards it from a distance.

The anger in its heart was like a powder keg, which was instantly detonated.

"It's you! You damned human, die!"

The next second, he activated the lightning from a hidden weapon module on his body, and two long energy whips wrapped in powerful electric current shot out from both sides.

Immediately afterwards, Lightning stomped hard on the road with his feet, and his steel-forged legs and heavy steel body instantly cracked open in the ground.

With the help of this powerful force, and the springs and thrusters in Lightning's legs.

At that moment, like an arrow released from a bow, lightning bolts, like a real thunderbolt, wielded two long whips of energy and slashed fiercely towards Erin.

"Sizzle!"

With a loud bang, Lightning's energy whip ripped through the air, cleaving Erin, who appeared in front of it, and a three-story building behind Erin in two.

"They really don't learn their lesson!"

With a sigh, Erin's body, which had been split in two by lightning, vanished in a daze, turning into a phantom.

Upon seeing Erin disappear from its sight once more, Lightning's electronic eyes, still suspended in mid-air, suddenly narrowed, and then it swung its hands, which were gripping the lightning energy whip, violently.

Then Lightning's entire body began to spin rapidly in mid-air, like a spinning top.

As the lightning spun, the two energy whips in its hands, like two ribbons, began to rotate around its body, enveloping it like an energy shield.

"Ding ding ding..."

With a series of clanging sounds, six tarot cards, radiating a sharp edge and aimed at the lightning in mid-air, were knocked away by a long whip of energy that spun around the lightning like colorful ribbons.

Suddenly appearing in another corner of the battlefield, Erin looked at the energy whip that had knocked away the tarot cards he had flung out and said with interest, "Interesting. This energy whip can actually be used like this. Your whip skills are much better than Ivan Vanko's."

After spinning countless times in mid-air, Lightning crashed to the ground, creating several large craters. Upon hearing this, he coldly snorted, "Ignorant human, you have no idea of ​​Lord Ivan's power. When he truly appears, you will know what true hell is. No... you will no longer have that chance."

"Huh? I was wondering why those two whips looked so familiar. I didn't realize you were one of Ivan Vanko's men."

Having easily extracted the information he wanted with such a simple trick, Erin glanced at Lightning and said calmly, "But since you're Ivan Vanko's subordinate, haven't you heard him mention how easily I tortured and killed him? If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time."

"Hmph, foolish. Lord Ivan, who crawled out of hell, has long since abandoned the frail body of humanity and become a powerful mechanical leader. Is his power something a mere human like you can even comprehend? Cunning human, without the leader even lifting a finger, I, the mighty mechanical vanguard 'Lightning,' can end your life. Prepare to die, human."
