Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 15 [Iron Man MK I]

No one will wait for you forever, except for Lao Liu.

This word can be replaced with a series of synonyms such as Voldemort, fully automatic bushes, and Garen.

After Kratos revealed his true colors, Tony actually felt a sense of relief.

The other party has something in mind, but not much.

If he finds out that Stanislav was really behind it, giving Kratos a portion of that bastard's shares wouldn't be out of the question, and it wouldn't affect his control over Stark Industries.

The cost of eliminating a major threat was only a monetary one, which Tony could easily accept.

Moreover, his mindset has recently undergone a subtle change. After realizing that the weapons his family produced have harmed countless people, he is now prepared to quit the arms business.

Is Stark Industries stock still worth anything?

Haha! Who knows who will screw over whom in the end?

Tony gave a genuine smile: "Okay! Deal."

"This is a wise decision."

The paws of two foxes are clasped together for the first time in history.

Tony added, "Yes, I have one more small request. Ethan... he's helped me a lot, but according to my plan, it'll be difficult for me to take him with me. I wonder if Kratos..."

As Tony spoke, Ethan's eyes welled up with tears.

"Let me know when you're ready, and I'll get him safely to your house." Ang readily agreed, then casually handed Tony a small walkie-talkie, adding, "Then you can do me a small favor too."

"you say."

"When you get back to New York, you have to make me a set—no, a whole series of humanoid bionic suits. You know, superheroes all like to wear masks or something."

Tony was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed immediately.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Ang walked away with the girl in his arms, leaving Tony to continue being a prisoner.

Just before the massive iron gate, a symbol of destiny, closed, Tony saw Kratos snap his fingers. Then, the two terrorists standing on either side of the gate seemed to wake from a nightmare, their eyes brightening and them wiping their faces in sweat. They failed to see the two men leaving in a huff.

"They... don't seem to be working together."

"Uh, maybe," Ethan chimed in.

Tony continued his research and development work on the Iron Lump One.

Once outside the cave, Ang led the black canary away as if he were strolling through a shopping mall.

Right next to them were fully armed terrorists, yet Ang strolled around so calmly. He was composed, but Diana beside him was anything but.

It took ten minutes to walk out of the valley where the camp was located. The black canary was exhausted and panting heavily.

She's quite capable, but ultimately hasn't transcended the realm of ordinary people. At close range, she's confident she can take down ten terrorists, but what about over a hundred AKs?

Being riddled with bullets was her only fate.

Ang acted as if nothing had happened, taking her on a stroll from Dubai, paying an American to do private work with a helicopter, flying to the vicinity of this valley, and then using the mind control of the black mask to sneak in.

After the talks, Ang even prepared a camouflage tent in advance and set up camp in the valley next to the terrorists.

If this valley weren't so deserted and lacking in scenery, it would practically be a camping trip.

While suffering, Black Canary couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you just rescue Mr. Stark?"

"I've already said it. That's what I truly think."

There are two other reasons that Ang didn't mention:

Firstly, it's true that he has now activated the [Godslayer System]. If he wants to maintain the power boost from Wonder Woman, his [Good and Evil Value] cannot be negative.

At this point in time, Tony Stark, an arms dealer, had hands stained with blood. Ang saved him, instantly wiping out a hundred years of "merit," leaving him with nowhere to turn for help.

Since the system's "cyber Zen" mode doesn't have a strict evaluation standard, he might as well let Tony continue developing Iron Man along the original trajectory of his destiny.

Another reason was that he also wanted Tony to help him launder money.

Ang still doesn't understand where his extravagant spending money comes from; who knows if he'll suddenly run out of money tomorrow? This intense insecurity forces him to find other ways to make money.

The money inside the diamond is the "blood money" of the Betinelli crime family.

Even if Ang can keep it from his backer, who knows how many other people are eyeing this money?

When it comes to money laundering, besides organized crime, arms dealers are also professionals in this field.

Theoretically, he saved Tony's life, so Tony has to take the blame for him.

Given Iron Man's personality, Anger wasn't worried at all about him reneging on his debt.

With everything settled, Ang felt very relieved.

However, the black canary beside him seemed a little conflicted: "Boss, can you answer a question for me?"

"What?" Ang, who had already laid out his cot and sleeping bag, covered his eyes with his left hand as he lay down.

The black canary leaned closer: "You...you really have no interest in me?"

Ang silently put one arm around her, then moved his hand down from her waist.

The black canary froze instantly, as if it had been electrocuted.

Ang smirked: "Are you doubting me, the former Black Mask Club Black Gold VIP?"

The black canary timidly replied, "Uh, I wouldn't dare."

Ang withdrew his hand: "It's just that I prefer complete conquest to brutal possession."

For some reason, faced with such a powerful and domineering statement, Black Canary's heart trembled and her whole body felt hot, yet she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

The next second, Ang pointed outside the tent: "Now, Miss Secretary, please keep watch while I rest."

"Boss, how long do you need to rest?"

"I rest twice a day..." Ang said, and Diana was secretly pleased, thinking, 'You still have a sense of chivalry,' but little did she know that Ang's next sentence was: "12 hours of rest each time."

Black Canary's face fell immediately.

Hey! Since you're not my girl, then of course women will be used like men, and men will be treated like animals.

The poor black canary was thus forced to go on guard duty.

In fact, the terrorists' necks were rusted shut, and none of them would look up at the top of the mountain outside the valley.

After a day and a night, Tony sent a signal.

It wasn't that Tony didn't want everything to be ready before launching, but rather that what he created simply didn't resemble a missile.

When a suit of steel armor was donned over him, the terrorist leader in charge of the monitoring room finally realized something was wrong. The garbled Arabic echoed through the cave where Tony was imprisoned.

Tony couldn't resist turning on his hidden walkie-talkie: "Kratos! Are you there? Something's gone wrong on my end. My control system needs a little more time to get back on track. Those guys' found out about my plan!"

Kratos's voice drifted over: "Do you want me to buy you some time?"

"Yes."

"As you wish, my friend."

Tony thought he heard a snap of fingers. At first, he didn't know what the other person's snapping of fingers from so far away would do. But soon, bursts of gunfire and screams suddenly came from inside the cave.

Ethan was somewhat incredulous: "They're fighting amongst themselves?"

Tony was fairly certain that Kratos had the ability to mind control enemies, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He spoke into the walkie-talkie: "I'm going to break out in a bit. Ethan will be hiding here. Please pick him up as soon as possible."

"OK!"

Today is a memorable day for all Iron Man fans.

Tony Stark, piloting the extremely ugly and crude Iron Man MK1, burst onto the scene.

Due to material limitations, this humanoid iron behemoth only had two flamethrowers. When Tony took advantage of the chaos to drive Iron Man out, the terrorists who had gone "crazy" and started shooting their own people were just taken down.

"Whoa!" Tony seized the opportunity and spewed flames that seemed to come from hell at the terrorists who were carrying various weapons.

Not only did they burn more than a dozen people to ashes in the blink of an eye, but as soon as they came out of the cave, they also set fire to a large amount of munitions that were left in the open in the valley.

"Boom!" The continuous explosions alerted the terrorists throughout the valley.

They began raining bullets at Iron Man with weapons of all calibers.

The original Iron Man's protective capabilities were questionable. Apart from thick steel plates protecting Tony's body, many mechanical parts on the suit lacked protection. After being hit by a barrage of rifle bullets, he was just a hair's breadth away from being completely destroyed.

The black canary, secretly watching the scene from the hilltop, couldn't help but wonder, "That's it?"

Ang slapped the black canary's rump: "Keep watching. If this is all he's capable of, he doesn't deserve the Stark name."

The black canary glared angrily at someone.

Sure enough, the next moment, seeing that things were not going well, Tony finally activated the most dazzling function of [Iron Man MK I].

"call--"

The 1500-pound (680-kilogram) humanoid iron lump was propelled like a rocket by the flamethrower on its back.
