I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 301 Damn mortal, you've angered me!

"Sir, you're finally awake..."

Tony Stark, who had just been startled awake by a piercing sound that Jarvis had copied from who-knows-where, was in a daze for quite a while before he came to his senses.

When his somewhat deaf ears finally heard Jarvis's words clearly.

Tony blurted out, "What just happened...?"

Jarvis did not answer Tony's question verbally. Instead, he projected the scene that had just happened back into Tony's view.

With Jarvis's "help," Tony quickly recalled what had just happened and realized why he was still slightly deaf. He praised, "Well done, Jarvis. But next time you might consider getting a different alarm clock."

Tony really didn't want to relive that terrifying sound again.

"Okay, sir, we have changed the ringtone for you."

"GOOD!"

After saying this, Tony Stark bowed slightly, turned his gaze to the vaguely visible figure more than a hundred meters away, and then said softly, "What's up with that guy?"

He had fallen asleep after hearing a lazy voice.

According to Jarvis's analysis, the source of that lazy voice was the figure on the rooftop of that building, more than a hundred meters away.

Even after I fell unconscious, the other party seemed to have activated a domain-type area-of-effect skill, instantly putting all living beings within a radius of about 100 meters into a deep sleep.

Ok.

These lives also included the Chitauri.

In the video Jarvis played, Tony also saw more than a dozen Chitauri aircraft, which crashed and were covered in images.

In an instant.

Tony was even a little confused about whether that strange guy was friend or foe.

They were called enemies, but the other side killed more than a dozen Chitauri pilots in one go, so they didn't seem to be on the Chitauri's side.

But can we say he's a friend?

That definitely doesn't count.

Tony hadn't forgotten how he'd just lost consciousness.

If Jarvis hadn't been piloting the other three Mark armors and pulled him up before he crashed, he would have...

Even with the shock absorption of the Mark armor, that fall could have left him paralyzed.

"Belite was born in 1974 into a declining aristocratic family in London. He was cold-blooded and cruel. He once brutally murdered the maid who was responsible for waking him up every day because he was annoyed by her doing so. In addition, he also murdered..."

"So the other party is a fugitive murderer? Very well, then I don't need to be so polite."

Hearing this, Tony, having put aside his last remaining concerns, immediately had Jarvis pilot the Mark 10 into the sky and launch a missile at the seemingly asleep Berlitz.

"call out······"

The missile swiftly streaked through the air toward Belitez, but its speed visibly slowed down as it entered a 50-meter radius around Belitez.

Moreover, this speed is getting slower and slower.

When the missile flew within ten meters of Belitus, it became unusually slow and even began to sway, much like Tony Stark had been in a drowsy state due to the influence of Belitus's energy.

When it came within 5 meters of Belitez, the missile completely stopped firing and crashed onto the rooftop where Belitez was.

Ok.

When it hit the rooftop, it bounced a few times on the concrete surface before finally rolling down to a corner of the rooftop.

Even so, the missile did not explode.

Upon seeing this scene, Tony seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Damn it.

This guy's ability not only works on living things, but even missiles are affected by his strange power.

It has entered a kind of inert state, as if it were asleep.

Forget about an explosion, you can't even get close to that guy.

Thinking about this...

Tony Stark finally understood why the other side was sound asleep on such a dangerous battlefield.

"Never mind, business is more important. We'll deal with this guy after we close the portal."

After glaring at Belitez, who was sleeping soundly amidst the chaos of battle, Tony immediately changed course and flew towards Stark Tower with the three Mark suits controlled by Jarvis.

The instant Tony Stark turned around, Berlitz seemed to sense something, and his tightly closed eyes opened slightly.

"That guy is still alive? Hmm, this time, that arrogant guy Cassius seems to be taking it very seriously. In that case, we can't let him get away with it. Otherwise, if I anger Cassius, I won't have any peace from now on."

"This is really troublesome!"

Thinking of this, Berlitz slightly propped himself up, then stretched out his right hand and gently tapped Tony Stark, who was running away.

"Sleep!"

The next second, a barely perceptible gray-black aura flew out from his fingertips.

"Sir, be careful."

Meanwhile, Jarvis, who had been using a portion of his computing power to monitor Belitez, immediately manipulated a Mark armor suit to stand behind Tony Stark.

He shielded Tony from the rapidly approaching gray-black aura.

At the same time, Tony, alerted by Jarvis, immediately turned around and stared at Berlitz, who had suddenly attacked him, saying with a grim expression, "I knew this guy was up to no good."

After saying that, Tony asked again, "Jarvis, are you alright?"

"It seems that some subroutines on the Mark 10 got stuck in a shutdown state, but after I formatted the program and restarted it, the Mark 10 returned to normal."

Shutting down?

Reboot?

Is that guy's ability just "shutting down" for Jarvis?

Simply restarting it will effectively neutralize that guy's abilities.

That makes sense, though. Jarvis's true form isn't here at all. No matter how strange that guy's abilities are, they can't truly affect Jarvis's true form.

The only things that operate the Mark armor are subroutines created by Jarvis. If the subroutines are shut down, you can just format it and restart it.

Thinking about this...

Tony's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered Jarvis, "Jarvis, write subroutines to control different parts of Mark 10's body, and set up automatic restart commands. Unless a delay command is received, restart immediately after three seconds. That way, even if that guy's ability hits you, it will only 'shut down' a specific part of your body, allowing you to quickly recover by restarting the subroutines..."

Done.

Tony Stark then had Jarvis pilot a suit of armor to cover his retreat.

To avoid being a human easily influenced by that guy and holding Jarvis back here.

·····································

at the same time.

When he saw that his "Sleeping Beauty" spell had no effect on the smaller suit of armor that had blocked a blow for Tony Stark, Berlitz was slightly taken aback.

What happened?

Even puppet soldiers, gargoyles, and alchemical guards would be forced into a deep sleep if they were hit by his Sleeping Beauty Curse, so how come that guy is completely unaffected?

Could it be that my [Sleeping Beauty Spell] didn't hit it?

Somewhat doubting whether he was seeing things, Berlitz was unaware that the Mark armor under his [Sleeping Beauty] spell wasn't completely unaffected. Rather, Jarvis reacted too quickly, restarting the Mark armor's operation and "formatting" the spell's effects almost as soon as it took effect.

····································

"Sir, the subroutine has been written and is now in effect..."

"Good, Jarvis, operate two Mark Armors and take care of that super-powered criminal. Hmm, be careful not to get too close to him..."

"Received, sir."

Under Tony Stark's orders, Jarvis directly piloted the Mark 11 and Mark 12 to launch a long-range attack on Berlitz.

Because the previous missile was ineffective.

This time, Jarvis changed his attack method, having the two Mark armors launch palm cannons and lasers at Beliteth with energy attacks.

Facing Jarvis's attack.

A cold glint appeared deep within Berlitz's languid eyes.

"Sleep!"

In the blink of an eye, Berlitz pointed his hands at the palm cannon and the laser respectively.

next second.

Everything that happened to that missile before was repeated.

However, unlike that missile which only came within five meters of Berlitz,

This time, the electromagnetic pulse cannon fired from the palm cannon was a full meter away from Beliteth before dissipating, while the laser beam, with its more solidified energy and faster speed, disappeared as light energy less than half a meter away from Beliteth.

Are energy weapons less affected than physical weapons?

Upon seeing this, Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis an order.

"Jarvis, switch the laser weapon to segmented firing mode and see how many laser attacks it can withstand."

"Received, sir."

Under Tony Stark's orders.

Jarvis quickly adjusted his attack pattern.

This time, in order to keep Berlitz occupied, Tony Stark's Mark 13 and the Mark 10 that was originally protecting Tony also joined the attack.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Under the attack of the four Mark armored vehicles, the lasers in segmented firing mode rained down on Beliteth like bullets.

And so, in order to make it more difficult for Belitez to defend.

Jarvis also thoughtfully used Belitez as the center, launching high-speed circling attacks from different positions against him.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing the rain-like laser beams, the languid expression vanished from Belitez's handsome face for the first time.

[The Realm of Laziness]

Veins bulged on his forehead as he unleashed his full power, creating a "Laziness Domain" around himself that rendered all life and energy, including the lasers attacking him, sluggish.

With a lazy roll, Berlitz quickly leaped to the other side of the rooftop.

Although Berlitz had developed the abilities he inherited from the previous "Seven Sins Knight" to a level that surpassed his master, his fully activated [Sloth Domain] was still struggling to withstand such a dense barrage of laser weapon attacks.

Almost at the same moment he leaped up.

The laser beams, slowed down considerably by his [Laziness Domain], landed one after another on the edge of the rooftop where Berlitz had been lying.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

In the blink of an eye.

The dense laser beams riddled the spot where Belitez had been lying with holes, sending stone chips flying everywhere.

The burst of cement debris splashed onto Berlitz, who had just landed, even leaving fine streaks of blood on his handsome face.

"It's working! Jarvis, increase the attack."

"Received, sir."

Seeing that this method was effective, Tony Stark and Jarvis did not hesitate to intensify their attack.

In just over ten seconds.

The rooftop where Belitez was located was riddled with bullet holes, like a hornet's nest.

Having been through a fierce storm, Belitez was now less lazy and carefree than before.

Not to mention that the casual, well-fitting handmade jacket was torn to shreds.

Several charred wounds appeared on Berlitz's arms and legs.

The most serious injuries were the two penetrating wounds in his abdomen.

A large amount of blood gushed from the wound in Belitez's abdomen, soaking his clothes and making him look extremely disheveled.

"Damn mortal, you have angered me."

"roar!"

Accompanied by a roar that was not human, the skin of Beliteth exposed outside his clothes immediately revealed a dark green luster, and Beliteth, who had originally looked somewhat thin, began to swell at a visible speed.

Just as Berlitz transformed.

A blue beam of light, more than one meter in diameter, suddenly descended from the sky, engulfing Berlitz, who was transforming.

The beam of light fell at an extremely fast speed, and Belittus, who was transforming, couldn't react at all.

The intense laser beam, accompanied by extreme heat, descended instantly. Berlitz's dark green demon skin, which was halfway through its transformation, was completely unable to withstand this terrifying laser attack and melted rapidly, eventually vaporizing.

His body, which was rapidly expanding just a second ago, melted and disintegrated as quickly as butter on a red-hot iron.
