Marvel: I am Iron Man

The ceiling shattered, and the moment the Iron Man armor fell, the entire squad of AIM robots simultaneously turned their guns on him, seemingly determining that the threat level of this suddenly appearing Iron Man armor was higher than that of all the intruders in the room combined.

All the machine guns opened fire simultaneously, and a dense barrage of bullets instantly surrounded the Mark VI armor. Countless bullets danced on his red and gold armor with each explosion, but the effect was like scratching a thorn.

Interspersed among them were occasional rockets, but it seemed that their effect on the armor was merely a change from scratching to a fiery scrubbing, at most scraping off some paint.

Inside the armor, a series of locking frames appeared in front of Tony, instantly locking onto all the mechs in front of him with the help of AI.

Jarvis: "All fire, sir?"

Tony: "Yes, Jarvis, all bullets fired simultaneously."

Mark 6 adopted a stance with both palms raised.

Dangerous arcs of light flashed simultaneously from both palms, and the reactors emitted a pleasant hum. At the same time, the armored wrists, arms, shoulder mechanisms, and waist...

A variety of weapons sprang out from all over his body, a true "all-out volley."

The next second, the dual electric pulse cannons had pierced through the two mechs respectively. Their steel chests were pierced like thin paper, leaving holes exposing broken wires and melted parts.

The array of miniature missiles swarmed like a honeycomb, exploding with deafening roars on several other mechs. Eight armor-piercing rounds tore through the composite armor at supersonic speeds, burning through the mechs with charred, penetrating holes. The remaining energy then ignited the internal weapon bays, triggering a chain reaction of explosions.

The continuous explosions and barrage of bombs sounded like two fully armed modern armies exchanging fire.

The entire process actually took less than ten seconds.

Yes, only ten seconds.

Within ten seconds, the once invincible mech squad, the advanced weaponry that had just instilled despair in the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and seemed unbeatable, was reduced to scrap metal.

Sold out instantly!

Captain America raised his shield to block the aftershocks of the explosion. As the warm smoke cleared, he looked again and saw that not a single machine remained.

The red and gold armor gave him the feeling that he was wearing an entire heavily armed military fortress. Moreover, this fortress was equipped with all sorts of new weapons that did not exist in his time.

What they didn't know was that Tony hadn't even used his full strength. He had noticed there were other unrelated people in the room.

He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he didn't use any of the equipment on his armor that was too powerful or had too wide a range, and he even controlled the power of the arc pulse.

Otherwise, the Mark VI's firepower was actually much stronger than it had just demonstrated.

Not to mention Captain America, this old-fashioned figure, even these agents, who are the elite of the modern S.H.I.E.L.D., were all dumbfounded and speechless.

who am I? where am I?

What just happened?

What is this thing?

When did such an incredible individual combat unit come into existence on this earth?

Looking at the pile of scrap metal before them, now completely wiped out, they felt it was all a little unreal.

However, Captain America, the old popsicle, was the most receptive among the entire team. Although the other side seemed to be on his side, he didn't lower his guard. He first asked through his headset on the team communicator, "Is this thing friendly?"

The logistics team responsible for supporting the squad responded quickly in the channel. However, the voice on the other end sounded as if they were also quite shocked by what they saw: "N-no... I'm not sure. I just searched the SHIELD database, and there was only one similar item. The data says that this armor looks... it might be Stark Industries'... bodyguard?"

The tone sounded uncertain, clearly indicating that the logistics team also found the description in the database absurd.

"Stark?"

This name did give Captain America a slightly more familiar feeling. It was one of the few names that could transcend his era and resonate with him in the modern world.

Steve and Howard Stark had a pretty good relationship back then.

"Are company bodyguards like this these days?"

Captain America looked at the imposing armor and pondered for two seconds.

I'm starting to miss the days when I was the creator of the most advanced technology.

Tony was a little surprised to see S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America there. He didn't expect to run into S.H.I.E.L.D. and they were also taking action against the AIM lab just like him.

However, he immediately felt a tightness in his chest.

Could it be that S.H.I.E.L.D. also discovered that Ivan Vanko sold the reactor blueprints to AIM, and is now trying to acquire the Arc Reactor technology as well?

Upon realizing this, Tony immediately became alert and lost all interest in greeting Captain America.

One downside of being rich is that when you have too much, you tend to suspect that others are eyeing your possessions.

Especially with a creation like the Arc Reactor that can change the world order, he has every reason to suspect that any force is after him.

Tony strode forward and used the Mark VI armor to access the control console in the main control room.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent mustered his courage and spoke up: "Sir, this is a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission. All assets and data here are under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance; you have no authority..."

The Iron Man armor tilted its head slightly and looked at the agent.

He said nothing, only glancing at it through the cold, golden mask.

But with that one glance, the agent seemed to instantly recall the overwhelming, almost truthful, firepower the other side had just unleashed, and immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say, forcing out an awkward smile.

"N-nothing, it's nothing, I was just saying."

So Iron Man turned his head back and continued working.

Tony's instantaneous annihilation of all the mechs looked visually impressive, but it wasn't even a warm-up for the Mark 6.

He assessed the strength of these mechs, estimating that they were roughly equivalent to the land, sea, and air drone mech squad Ivan Vanko sent out at the end of the original Iron Man 2 movie. And that squad in the movie was nothing more than cannon fodder easily defeated by Iron Man's Mark 6.

However, the technology on Marvel Earth in the first phase was still not too far removed from reality. Before Tony and Ivan showed it off, drones were still an immature new technology. It's normal for them to suddenly appear and catch these traditional agents off guard.

Tony is even starting to wonder if the robot team hidden in AIM might also be technology they bought from Ivan.

Jarvis connected to the main computer: "System cracking... Cracking complete. Preparing to download..."

Tony quickly browsed the cracked content while downloading.

His primary concern was naturally the arc reactor. Although Ivan's reactor blueprints were far more outdated than his own, they were still similar technologies, and he didn't want them to be leaked.

Sure enough, the technology we bought from Ivan was indeed here. And we were quite lucky; the blueprints and documents hadn't been sent elsewhere yet.

From the downloaded information, Tony learned that it seemed that S.H.I.E.L.D. had actually played a part in this.

Important research data like this is usually transmitted through encrypted channels. Recently, SHIELD has been keeping a close eye on AIM, and the laboratory needs to be extremely careful with both physical and data access. In addition, the purchase of data from Ivan was an independent action by this laboratory, and there was no intention to share it with other departments or headquarters of AIM, so there was no leak.

Therefore, for Tony, all he needed to do was delete the data and destroy the blueprints from this base to completely prevent his technology from being leaked.

This was also the main reason he rushed here in such a hurry. Once this matter was resolved, it would immediately relieve him of a major worry... or at least one of them.

However, as Tony continued to look at the downloaded data, he caught a glimpse of some of the laboratory's research data and immediately became interested.

There was an unexpected bonus!
