John, unaware of all this, ran cautiously forward, dodging the endless stream of aliens. But John was extremely anxious; the citizen he had just run into had vanished in the blink of an eye, and there were about four more aliens guarding the way ahead.

"Damn it, where did this guy go?" John hid behind a car that had been blown up and was now completely black, observing the four aliens through the car's side mirror.

Just then, the four aliens suddenly collapsed. Then, a silver-clad man wearing a black tight-fitting leather suit and goggles appeared behind the four aliens, chuckled, and disappeared with a whoosh.

"Is that... an X-Men?" John asked in a low voice, glancing at an X-shaped symbol on the other man's clothes from behind the car.

"That's right, it's the X-Men!" a voice suddenly came from behind him, startling him.

"Oh my God!" John instantly drew his gun and pointed it behind him, but when he saw it was the man from before, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me to death."

"Uh, I thought you were pretty brave," Quicksilver shrugged and said, "Aren't there robot troops guarding the way ahead? How did you get in? Oh, I get it, it was that electromagnetic pulse wave that caused this."

“I’m the head of the C district. I came looking for a citizen who suddenly rushed into the war zone,” John said, frowning. “But I lost track of him as soon as I came in.”

"Hmm, I see. Let's get you to the safe zone first." After listening, Quicksilver pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, there aren't many people left in the war zone now, and most of them have already been rescued and gathered together."

“No need, I won’t keep you any longer. I will be very careful.” John shook his head and said, “After all, those aliens still need you to eliminate them.”

"Ah, you don't need to worry about that. Although there are indeed many aliens, there are quite a few of us too." Quicksilver ignored the other's protests, grabbed the other's neck, and said, "Besides, sending you to the safe zone is also part of our duty!"

After saying that, Quicksilver swiftly took Officer John and left. The next time they appeared, they were in an underground bank vault.

John felt a blur before his eyes and the next moment he found himself in a warehouse-like room. But now he didn't care about his surroundings. He covered his mouth and nose with one hand and clutched his chest with the other, looking anxiously at the ground.

"Ah, another one!" A slightly pale-faced man walked up to John with a plastic bucket in his hand and said, "Here, you should be looking for this."

John's face lit up when he saw the plastic bucket. He snatched it with both hands and then vomited violently. About a minute later, he seemed to have come back to life and stood up.

"Haha, feels good, right!" The man who had just spoken handed John a bottle of water and said, "Cleanse your mouth."

John nodded gratefully, rinsed his mouth, and then said, "Thanks. Ugh, this feeling was awful."

"Right? I swear I never want to experience something like this again," the man said, looking terrified.

"Hey, where's that guy from just now?" John realized that the X-Men had left right after he arrived, so he immediately asked.

“You mean Quicksilver? He’s already gone.” After the man finished speaking, he said, “We can only wait here now. Sigh, I was just busy in the warehouse for a bit and then those guys abandoned me. I didn’t think anything was wrong at the time, but as soon as I came out, I found a monster standing in front of me. If Mr. Fantastic hadn’t intervened in time, I would have already gone to see the Virgin Mary.”

"Oh, really?" John was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the other person to be so talkative, but he didn't really want to hear that right now, so he asked, "I wonder how things are outside now?"

"Um, I don't know, but I think the heroes should win," the man said uncertainly. "Right now, it seems like we have no choice but to pray." To be continued.

 

Chapter 304 The Battle of New York (Part 9)

Near Stark Tower in Manhattan, New York City

Since hearing that a U.S. military fighter jet was carrying a nuclear bomb and was preparing to eliminate superheroes and aliens, the superheroes and mutants below have expressed their dissatisfaction with the U.S. government and S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, a nuclear bomb is a national strategic weapon that S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot possess, and such a thing would certainly not happen without the approval of the U.S. government.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Professor X has just said that he will make the US government give the mutants an explanation. Perhaps this foolish decision by the US government will give the mutants, who have always been at a disadvantage, a chance to change things. With this hope, the mutants, led by the professor, began a major counterattack against the aliens.

All the world's most famous X-Men were tasked by the professor to fight the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex, while the others and senior students, led by their respective teachers, ambushed and killed the aliens.

Just then, everyone's communicators suddenly emitted a piercing interference sound and began to heat up. The superheroes immediately took the communicators out of their ears and threw them on the ground, not knowing what had happened.

While using his high-tech prosthetic limbs, Tony Stark instantly lost control of his armor and plummeted from mid-air.

"Stark!"

Captain America shouted, preparing to run over and catch Iron Man. At that moment, the Hulk leaped up and grabbed Iron Man, slamming them both into the ground with a loud crash. The ground was cratered by the two of them—well, mainly by the Hulk alone. Fortunately, due to his strong physique and thick skin, he was unharmed. As for Iron Man, he had the various protective charms given to him by Christine, and with the Hulk's protection, he was also unharmed. He was simply trapped inside because his armor malfunctioned.

"Hey Tony, are you alright?" Captain America immediately ran over and asked.

"I'm fine, but could you help me get out of there?" Tony's voice came from inside the armor. He said with some frustration, "Damn it, someone used an electromagnetic pulse to destroy all the electronic equipment."

"How do I pull this out? Will it damage your armor?" Captain America looked at the high-tech gadget in front of him and asked somewhat foolishly, "How do I take this apart? Do I have a wrench or anything like that with me?"

The Hulk, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and said in a gruff voice, "Destruction, Hulk likes it!" After saying that, he immediately started tearing apart the armor with his bare hands.

Upon hearing the Hulk's words, Tony's body went limp, and he immediately cried out, "Hey, wait! Damn it, Hulk, take off the mask first! Hey, no~~~~~"

Seeing this, Quicksilver, who had just come out of the bank's vault, covered his eyes with one hand, but actually a few fingers were spread apart, so he could see very clearly.

"Uh, what are you doing? I heard the noise from this direction and thought I was in the wrong place?"

Captain America's lips twitched slightly, and he finally said helplessly, "Tony said someone used an electromagnetic pulse wave to destroy all the electronic equipment here, seemingly targeting Superman's robot army."

"Oh, I see. That explains why my communicator started smoking. I thought it was just me." Quicksilver shrugged. "But what's their purpose?"

Captain America is completely ignorant about technology. After all, he has only been awake for a short time, and he spends most of his time reminiscing about the past. Therefore, he has not truly integrated into this society, so he has no idea what those people are thinking.

However, even so, he still said, "There must be some ulterior motive."

Well, in short, he said something that everyone already knows is nonsense.

By this time, Tony's armor had been completely dismantled by the Hulk. He stood up somewhat awkwardly and said, "Thanks, big guy. Ugh, damn it, of all times. By the way, what were you guys talking about?"

Captain America repeated Quicksilver's question and stated his own conclusion.

"Well, thanks for saying something so obvious," Tony said bluntly. "I think they're after the alien corpses and weapons. Even I'd be a little interested in those energy weapons, let alone some petty thieves."

"So, they should have successfully infiltrated the battlefield by now?" Captain America asked, frowning.

“Yeah, that’s right. So, after we take down these aliens, a group of humans armed with alien weapons will definitely appear to fight us in the coming period.” Tony took out the arc reactor from his chest, which had lost power, and fiddled with it as he said, “Quicksilver, there’s no time. Help me get to the top floor of Stark Tower. Hmm, looks like I’ll have to call that Chinese construction company to thank them after the battle. After all, there don’t seem to be any other skyscrapers around here besides my Stark Tower.”

"What are you planning to do?" Captain America asked. "Your armor is destroyed, you can't fight anymore."

“Don’t worry, Captain,” Tony casually tossed the Arc Reactor, which he had completely destroyed, onto the ground and said, “To me, these suits of armor are like a man’s clothes; there are always a few of the same style in the closet.”

Just then, a small squad of Chitauri flying cavalry spotted them. Captain America, seeing this, said, "Well, looks like these guys aren't letting us continue. Be careful!"

"Thanks, buddy, let's go!" Tony said, activating a magical item in his hand. A faint light flashed, and Tony immediately felt much safer.

Quicksilver's interest was piqued upon seeing this, and he asked, "Hey, what's this?"

"I'll tell you about something to protect my body later. Time is of the essence now. Don't forget there's a nuclear bomb heading our way," Tony said in a deep voice. "Go as fast as you can. Don't worry about me being unable to handle it."

"Oh, a nuclear bomb? I almost forgot." Quicksilver grabbed Tony by the neck and said, "Let's hurry up and get going. By the way, what are you going to do?"

As they spoke, Quicksilver had already pushed his speed to the limit, arriving at Tony's office in Stark Tower almost instantly.

Tony felt a sudden darkness and light before he found himself in his office. He wasn't surprised, nor did he feel the discomfort that others did. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked with Quicksilver to a bookshelf in the office.

"Jarvis, open the warehouse door."

Silence—or rather, the sounds of fighting still echoed outside.

"Uh, are you kidding me?" Quicksilver asked Tony.

"Damn it, I forgot about the electromagnetic pulse wave from earlier." Tony was genuinely embarrassed, having gotten so used to that kind of intelligent life that his mind was a little stuck.

"What do we do now?" Quicksilver asked.

Tony gently twirled the ring he had somehow acquired on his hand, then, to Quicksilver's astonishment, slammed his fist into the bookshelf. Looking at the entrance that had appeared before him, he nodded with great satisfaction.

“Okay, let’s do it this way! Come on, let’s go in.” Tony said and immediately went inside, explaining, “When we were building this warehouse, well, it was actually a lab, but my brother said it was a warehouse. He said I relied too much on the AI ​​system and that I should keep something in reserve. Luckily, I’m a good brother and listened to my brother.”

Quicksilver followed Tony into a small laboratory. Looking at the armor sparking and the series of mechanical devices inside, he asked, "It seems this place has been hit as well. What do we do now?"

“Nothing much. Although electromagnetic pulse waves are very destructive to electronic devices, I have more than just technological gadgets here. I also happen to know a magician, and even more coincidentally, she is also an excellent alchemist!” Tony used brute force to open a box standing in the corner, looked at the armor inside that was almost identical to the previous Iron Man suit, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Magic? Alchemy? You're not kidding, are you?" Quicksilver was clearly skeptical of such mystical concepts, but that wasn't surprising, given that he was a science enthusiast.

"At first I didn't believe it either. But after seeing this kind of thing so many times, I started to believe it."

Tony placed his right hand on the chest of the armor, which instantly transformed into a liquid form, covering Tony's entire body in the blink of an eye. It then returned to its previous state, but Tony himself was already inside the armor. Then, he heard Jarvis's familiar voice in his ear.

"It seems you're in trouble, sir."

"Oh, thank goodness, Jarvis, you're done rebooting?" Tony asked excitedly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just a clone of Jarvis's system. Miss Christine copied me into this armor when she made it. As for the trouble I mentioned, that's because my data shows that you won't wear this armor unless you encounter a major problem," Jarvis's clone said calmly.

“Fine, you win.” Tony curled his lip and said, “I remember this mech has the ability to reboot Jarvis?”

“That’s right. I think Mr. Jarvis should be rebooted in thirty seconds and then take control of this armor,” Jarvis’s clone said.

“Okay, thirty seconds, but why do I feel like you’re an incarnation of Athena?” Tony suddenly asked during the short wait.

"Oh, congratulations, you got it right! But there's no reward!" Athena's voice suddenly rang out.

Chapter 305 The Battle of New York Ends!

"Athena, how could it be you?" Tony asked, somewhat surprised.

“When we encountered the electromagnetic pulse wave, I immediately put this information into your magical armor. Hmm, I’m pretty good, right?” Athena’s voice continued, “Yes, I have handed over control of the mechanical forces to you and Jarvis. The mechanical forces have electromagnetic pulse protection devices, but the robot’s control system will need some time to restart. Have a good time!”

“Athena, Athena, hey, are you there?” Tony asked, frowning.

"Hello sir, Jarvis has been restarted. Please provide instructions." Athena's voice had completely disappeared, replaced by Jarvis's voice.

"Jarvis? Your system has been restored?" Tony asked. "Try contacting Athena."

“Sir, my system has been restored, but we still can’t contact Miss Athena. It seems the enemy used a weapon we don’t know about, and it was targeted at the watchtower, so our communication with the watchtower has been completely cut off.” Jarvis brought bad news and continued, “However, I can see that the electromagnetic pulse waves on the battlefield have disappeared, and their robot army has been fully activated. However, one team of nearly thirty robots has lost contact. They may have been destroyed or taken away.”

"It must be those guys who fired the EMP wave before," Tony said in a deep voice. "By the way, Jarvis, help me find a fighter jet with nuclear weapons on it. We need to intercept that guy!"

"Hey Tony, what should I do now?" Quicksilver asked immediately when he saw that Tony had reverted to Iron Man.

"Oh, I almost forgot you were still here." Tony chuckled, pointing to a box beside him. "There are some communicators in there. Use them to call the people outside. They're all magical items. Looks like I'll have to thank her properly when you and Christine get back."

"Wow, a magical item?" Quicksilver darted to the box, but after trying for a while, he still couldn't open it. He looked at Tony with an innocent expression.

Tony shuddered and said, "Alright, alright, stop looking like that. Honestly, I'll open it for you right now. Only I can open this thing these days!" He then opened the box.

After opening the black box, Quicksilver saw that it was full of things that looked almost identical to ordinary communicators. He picked one up, looked it over, and said, "Are you sure this is a magical item?"

"Yeah, I asked that question at the beginning too. But look at me now, do you really believe this armor is a magical artifact?" Tony shrugged and said.

"Uh, I see. If I hadn't just seen you in your armor, I don't think I would have believed it." Quicksilver took part of the communicator out of the box and put it into an empty box next to him, saying, "Alright, I'm going to get to work!"

Tony laughed, "Yeah, I've found my target too." With a flash, he disappeared from Quicksilver's sight.

"I'm swearing! This is definitely not scientific!" Quicksilver was startled by Iron Man's speed and blurted out involuntarily.

-------------------

The battlefield outside

The Fantastic Four, Storm, and the X-Men, along with the Hulk who has returned, are fighting the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, due to the difference in height and size, they can only barely contain the Tyrannosaurus Rex within one block with the help of Professor X's psychic abilities, preventing it from continuing to destroy other blocks.

"Damn it, we'll be worn down if this keeps up!" Thunderfire's flames flickered on and off, and he looked at the still ferocious Tyrannosaurus monster in front of him with a sense of dejection.

"Hey, man, hang in there. We just need to hold out until the man or anyone else comes back, and we still have Wolverine!" Spider-Man, whose suit was already quite worn out, panted heavily and reassured Human Torch.
