Marvel's Death Merchant

Chapter 126 The Attack of Iron Man

After Tang Tian gave the order, the terrorists outside were constantly being slaughtered by the New Human Force. The New Human Force can be said to be Umbrella Corporation's most successful secret force. Of course, in addition to this special force, there are also the G-Virus Force and the Veronica Force under development. However, there is also the biological weapon based on mutant genes and the New Human Force, but there is no progress at present. However, Tang Tian will go to Underworld Legends to get what he needs.

"I think I heard gunshots outside. Could it be that someone has come here? I wonder if they're here to rescue me," Stark thought to himself, puzzled.

Inside the cave, Stark stared intently at the progress bar on his computer screen. The intense gunfire outside heightened his tension, and he was also deeply worried about Hou Yinsen's safety. Finally, the progress bar reached 100%, and the entire cave went dark, with all the lights dimming. A large amount of electricity was channeled into the Iron Man suit, and Stark, wearing the bulky and crude suit, strode forward, exuding an aura of power and dominance.

Stark slowly walked outside, and as soon as he came out, he saw many soldiers dressed in black around him.

Most importantly, it bears the Umbrella Corporation logo and is slaughtering terrorists.

Stark suddenly realized they were his own people, and although he didn't see Hou Yinsen, he felt a little relieved. Hou Yinsen and Stark had lived together for so long, and Stark truly considered Hou Yinsen a friend. Just then, the terrorists rushed into the cave, their guns creating a metallic storm.

But soon, something strange happened: the bullets formed from the metal storm seemed to freeze in time, failing to advance an inch. Stark didn't know what was happening, but one thing was certain: someone with special abilities had arrived.

With a loud 'bang,' a terrorist launched a sneak attack on Stark from behind, only to be deflected and killed by a high-powered bullet. Meanwhile, Stark, clad in his Iron Man suit, punched a terrorist away. Tang Tian, ​​observing the power of Stark's Iron Man suit, silently nodded, feeling that this trip hadn't been in vain. The power of science is terrifying, especially the various geniuses in this universe. They are all geniuses among geniuses.

The militants inside went berserk, and a fierce barrage of gunfire erupted, hitting Stark, of course. Unfortunately, only sparks were left on his Iron Man suit. Clearly, while the Stark-made Mark I Iron Man suit was of abysmal quality, its defense was still barely adequate against most gunfire.

“Yinsen, it’s so good that you’re alright. Let Mr. Donas protect you. Don’t worry, no matter what, their bullets won’t hit you. We will protect you.” Stark said to Hou Yinsen beside him. He felt relieved after seeing Tang Tian, ​​because Stark trusted the power Tang Tian controlled.

Tang Tian used gravity to fix the bullet in place. Hou Yinsen stared in disbelief, saying, "Boss, how did you and those people manage to do that?"

"The new humans they scientifically created have extremely strong attack and recovery abilities," Tang Tian said casually. The viral abilities that the new human troops can use are similar to those of Alexia in Resident Evil. Most of the viral abilities of the new human troops are related to mental power or physical enhancement, but they are very powerful and easy to control.

"Umbrella Corporation truly lives up to its reputation. The company that participated in the Captain America Project," Hou Yinsen exclaimed in amazement, showing great interest in what Umbrella Corporation controlled. Such power, created through scientific means, made one imagine the terrifying power of Umbrella Corporation's technology.

The terrorists in the base were being continuously eliminated. Faced with the Newtypes' terrifying telekinetic abilities and near-immortality, the armed personnel in the base showed increasing fear in their eyes. The dense barrage of bullets from the base's armed personnel couldn't penetrate Stark's suit or the Newtypes' telekinetic barrier. A single telekinetic mental attack from the Newtypes essentially wiped out all the terrorists inside.

Stark, Tang Tian, ​​and the others easily walked out of the cave. Only a dozen or so armed men with submachine guns remained at the entrance, but they were all wiped out by Sidewinder missiles fired from Stark's Iron Man suit. Several of them had already left the area, leaving only the corpses of the armed men behind.

Outside the base, Stark Industries' weapons were everywhere. Enraged by this, Tony Stark activated the flamethrower on his Iron Man suit and used the high temperature of the flamethrower to detonate the weapons outside the base, destroying the evil he had caused and the base itself.

“Let’s go, Silverson, Donald. It’s about to explode. Let my sins disappear.” Stark sighed. This period of time had taught Stark a lot, and he was no longer the carefree playboy he used to be.

"Stark, use your equipment and go first. Notify the military of your safety." Tang Tian said calmly to Stark. This was also to bring out the villain within Stark Industries; this whetstone was still very important.

"And what about you two?" Stark asked Tang Tian and Hou Yinsen, who were standing in front of him. The two had already established themselves as true friends in Stark's heart.

“You don’t need to worry about that. We have helicopters ahead. The military knows you’re missing and is looking for you. Let them know you’re safe first,” Tang Tian said seriously, revealing the key point to Stark.

“Okay, I understand. We’re in New York City now, let’s have a drink together.” Stark nodded, activated the Iron Man suit’s power system, and flew towards the base. Tang Tian and the others also arrived at the helicopter, and the group easily left.

Meanwhile, Stark suffered another stroke of bad luck. His Iron Man suit ran out of power, the jet flames went out, and he plummeted towards the base. Luckily, it was a desert below. Upon landing, Stark's Iron Man suit was smashed to pieces. Of course, all of this was understandable; how could he possibly find any good materials in this place?

Tang Tian's situation went relatively smoothly; at least the helicopter didn't malfunction. Tang Tian knew Stark had flown to the base, but not completely. So, by the time he reached the base gate, Stark was already dizzy and disoriented from running, but fortunately, he survived.

"Have you obtained the information?" Tang Tian asked, looking at Death God Hank and Qi Lian'an, who were secretly carrying out the mission, his eyes filled with interest.

"Sir, it's obtained." Death Grim Hank looked into Tang Tian's eyes and said seriously. Then, Death Grim Hank uploaded the data downloaded from his wrist computer to Tang Tian's wrist microcomputer.

"Well done, you didn't disappoint me." Tang Tian was very satisfied with the result. Having obtained the Iron Man suit technology, he could do many things. Combining the power of multiple worlds, Tang Tian's technological strength would definitely increase greatly. This was the true power of combining technology. (To be continued...)

Chapter 127 Press Conference

"Stark, what's it like to be back in America?" Tang Tian, ​​who had already brought Stark back to America, asked seriously, looking at Stark's thoughtful expression.

“Of course, I came here to make up for my mistakes,” Stark said earnestly, looking into Tang Tian’s eyes.

"Do you need my past?" Tang Tian asked with a smile.

“Of course, it would be an honor,” Stark said calmly.

The two then left. Tang Tian understood that Stark, after narrowly escaping death, was preparing to announce a life-altering statement: the temporary closure of Stark Industries' weapons division.

“Where to, Mr. Stark?” Stark’s personal driver asked.

"Go to the hospital first, then notify the reporters that I'm going to hold a press conference," Stark said to the driver.

Stark first had his wounds cleaned at the hospital, then devoured the hamburgers his bodyguard had bought him, since he hadn't had anything good to eat while with the militants. Finally, he arrived at the press conference.

"Stark, it's so good to see you're alright. I was just about to have someone look for you." Just as Stark entered the hall to hold a press conference, a middle-aged man in a black suit and tie, with a fake smile and a bald, bearded man, walked over and said to Stark with a smile. Clearly, the only person Stark was so close to was Obadiah Stane.

At the press conference, Obama's expression changed when he saw Stark return unharmed; he was clearly very unhappy. He felt threatened by Stark's failure to kill him.

Howard Stark saw Umbrella Corporation's infiltration and takeover of Stark Industries as increasingly obvious. Therefore, only by completely acquiring Stark Industries could he counter Umbrella Corporation and its ally Osborn, especially since Stark Industries was founded by Howard Stark and himself. While not as powerful as Umbrella Corporation, it was certainly superior to Osborn Industries.

It must be said that Obadiah was also a very shrewd schemer. His method of having armed men kidnap Stark and kill him was a perfect two-birds-with-one-stone move, ensuring that no one would suspect him. All of Stark Industries' resources and connections would then belong to him.

“Obadi, I’m fine, thank you for your concern.” Stark assumed Obadiah was concerned about him, so he simply said it casually. Stark didn’t have a bad feeling about Obadiah now. After all, they had been together for so long, which was something that others couldn’t compare to.

“Don’t mention it, after all you are Howard’s son,” Obadiah Stane said to Stark with feigned fatherly kindness.

"Mr. Stark, can I have a word with you?" This was during Tony Stark's insincere exchange with Obadiah.

Among the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Nick Fury, an agent wearing an eyepatch, approached Stark and politely asked what was going on. The others, including Natasha and Hawkeye, were also watching.

After glancing at the one-eyed man, Stark casually picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and said nonchalantly, "The press conference is about to begin. You can ask my secretary any questions later."

After hearing Stark's refusal, Nick Fury wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am Nick Fury, and also the director of the U.S. Homeland Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Department, or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me. We'll do our best to help you." With that, Nick Fury handed Stark a business card and left nonchalantly.

After Nick Fury left, Stark put down his wine and went straight to the press conference stage. As he stood there, he reflected on his mistakes and considered how to make amends.

After thinking it over, Stark stood up and said seriously, "I have always considered myself a peace-loving person. My father invented the atom and the bomb, contributing to world peace, and I have always done the same."

After a pause, Tony Stark continued, "When I was trapped in a terrorist base in Afghanistan, I saw people killed by the weapons I had created for peace. That's when I truly realized that the weapons I manufactured were not created for peace, but to destroy other people's lives."

The reporters were baffled by Tony Stark's words, of course they didn't understand. Think about it. Why would an arms dealer be against these weapons? Unless he's a fool. Obama's expression changed from calm and smiling as he listened to Stark to a grimace.

Obama is increasingly unhappy; anyone would be furious if their source of income was blocked. Stark's intentions are very clear: shut down the weapons division. However, Tang Tian believes his idea is unwise, as Stark Industries' largest source of revenue is arms manufacturing.

“This experience has been a wake-up call for me. I realized that dangerous things can only be entrusted to people who can control them. So I decided to temporarily hand over the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries to Umbrella Corporation. I believe my friend will handle it well, which is also in line with the highest interests of the United States. From now on, our two companies will cooperate deeply and become inseparable.”

Tony Stark's decision was met with applause from numerous reporters, and many rushed towards him. Meanwhile, Obadiah quietly left after Stark's announcement. He understood that his chances were slim, and his only remaining option was to kill Stark and stop his foolish decision before Tang Tian's cooperation with Stark Industries was fully established.

To Obadiah, Stark Industries was his own, and he needed a chance to turn the tide. That chance lay in the Iron Man suit Thicke had given him. Obadiah had ordered Stark Industries' own scientists to build it; this was his only chance of success, and he wouldn't give up his last opportunity. Even death was no object; success was simply a price to pay.

The deep collaboration between Stark Industries and Umbrella Corporation was expected by the military. Following Tony Stark's press conference, Stark Industries' weapons division stock surged like a powerful stimulant, exciting even some major businessmen; this collaboration is quite representative.

Tang Tian was quite satisfied with the outcome. He not only obtained Stark Industries' high-tech technology and some resources he wanted, but his relationship with Stark had also deepened, reaching a level of good friendship. This was also a way of forging a good bond with future Avengers members. Future development was equally important; Tang Tian needed to plunder as much technology as possible when the aliens came. (To be continued...)

Chapter 128 Mark II

New York City, Tony Stark, private laboratory at his seaside villa.

Tang Tian glanced at Stark's laboratory equipment and had a pretty good impression of Stark's private lab.

Stark smiled slightly and said, "Buddy, I want to thank you. I feel more at ease leaving Stark Industries' weapons division in your hands, and no one will say anything about it."

Tang Tian said nonchalantly, "Don't be so polite. After all, you are Howard's son, so it's only right that I protect you. I think you can continue to study that Iron Man suit you researched in Afghanistan. It will be of more help to you."

Stark took a deep breath and said, "I think you're right, Donald. The Iron Man suit gives me a Superman-like feeling, which is really great."

"Okay, Stark, I'll be leaving now. If you have any problems you can't solve, you can come to me," Tang Tian said with a smile, then boarded a plane and left Stark's villa.

Tang Tian has acquired Stark Industries' technologies, including the Arc Reactor, prototype Iron Man suit data, and the Jericho missile. He will incorporate these technologies with those from other dimensions to further enhance his forces.

Tang Tian first had Skynet simulate the Iron Man suit to create a new type of Iron Man suit. Three design types had already been identified: agility and speed, firepower and defense, and advanced weaponry and top-tier intelligent systems. The first type was Stark's speed and agility Iron Man suit, while the second was Obadiah's Iron Monger armor, possessing both powerful firepower and defense.

The third type is the heavyweight Iron Man suit, which integrates the technological power of many dimensions. It features powerful gauss and plasma weapons, with Skynet as its main system. The Iron Man suit is made from meteorites painstakingly collected from around the world.

His speed surpasses supersonic speeds, and he possesses special internal weapons capable of handling various situations. Various technologies have also made this third type of weapon Tang Tian's most powerful secret weapon. Tang Tian believes that any light or heavy land-based or air-based weaponry currently used by humanity, or even space-based weapons, will be destroyed by his equipment, because it not only allows him to freely descend into the deep sea and travel to space, but also provides him with immense assistance.

"Sir. Where do we need to go?" The Skynet system transmitted a synthesized voice. Tang Tian said to his Skynet system, "Skynet, take me to Stark."

“Yes, sir,” Skynet replied simply. Tang Tian wore a black steel suit that exuded a violent aesthetic. The lack of conspicuous tags was to prevent him from being easily spotted like Stark.

"Hey, buddy, how's it going?" Suddenly, a hole appeared in the roof of Stark's private lab, and out emerged a pitch-black Iron Man. Under the light, it reflected no light whatsoever, as if all the light had been absorbed, exuding an aura of overwhelming power.

"Cool, Donald. Umbrella Corporation's technology is truly impressive. I think my Iron Man suit is almost finished, and I think I should test it out first." Stark looked at Tang Tian's Iron Man suit and touched his two mechanically armored feet. A confident look appeared in his eyes. Stark wasn't surprised that Tang Tian had an Iron Man suit, because he had agreed to give Tang Tian some ideas for it.

"Alright, let me see your results." Tang Tian said calmly, looking at Stark's excited expression.

Stark excitedly added, "I've been waiting for this for ages."

Tang Tian looked at his unassuming manner and said, "I think you should be more careful. The data during the test may be somewhat inaccurate, and the rate of your particle jet is still uncertain. If you try to do it yourself, you will suffer."

Stark said nonchalantly, "Donalds, believe me, you're being too cautious. To me, everything is for science."

"Now, let's begin the 10% axial load bearing capacity test." Stark, wearing his mechanical legs, prepared for the test flight. A good start—ignition—takeoff—and then his upper body, including his face, crashed into the wall. The idea was good, but the result was still brutal.

"I've already told you, of course I won't tell you. I researched it many times before I discovered it." Tang Tian ignored the unfortunate Stark and said sarcastically from the side.

Stark shook his head helplessly, feeling utterly speechless. "Jarvis, this time change the axial load support by 1%." This time it was alright. White flames shot out from Stark's feet, and he floated up, though not very steadily. Tang Tian knew it was probably because the energy was too low.

“2.5% axial load support,” Stark instructed Jarvis. Finally, it was a success. After wobbling and circling the laboratory once, it slowly hovered to a stop.

Stark happily said to Tang Tian, ​​"I think we should install the outer shell now. I'm looking forward to flying into the sky with you." Upon hearing Stark's voice, Jarvis, who already possessed rudimentary intelligence, began installing the outer shell.

Stark's Iron Man suit was finally assembled, and everything was working perfectly. There were no malfunctions.

After everything was ready, Stark turned to Tang Tian and said, "Donald, how about we have a contest to see whose Iron Man suit is more powerful?"

"This is good too, it gets my blood pumping." Tang Tian said casually, using the SkyNet system to take control and prepare to fly into the sky.

“Okay, let’s go.” Stark said, then flew out of the villa. After circling a few times in the air, he flew around aimlessly, enjoying the freedom that the Iron Man suit gave him.

Tang Tian shook his head and activated his Iron Man suit. A deep blue current appeared beneath his feet, and he flew out rapidly, quickly catching up with Stark at supersonic speed.

"Whoa!" Stark shouted excitedly after circling several times in the sky. The freedom of flight thrilled him. Tang Tian accompanied him, flying around and enjoying the feeling of freedom as well.

Tang Tian and Stark flew into the sky. Stark didn't care at all as he flew into the sky, thinking that his research was very successful. In the end, Stark was still just like in the original plot.

Because the Iron Man suit froze at high altitude, all systems malfunctioned, and he plummeted unstoppably. Tang Tian couldn't stop Stark from falling; he eventually landed in Stark's villa, where robots were putting out a fire.

Iron Man Stark's experiment was quite successful. Although the current Iron Man isn't the real Iron Man yet, he's already quite good. The most important reason Iron Man became a hero is that, like his father Howard Stark, he has a love for peace and a passion for America. That's why Stark wasn't defeated and ultimately became the most famous non-superpowered hero in the Avengers. (To be continued...)

Chapter 129 Gilles Valentian

"Ring ring ring!!!" The alarm rang, and a girl named Rebecca Chambers opened her sleepy eyes, sat up, and looked at the time on the clock.

Then he looked at the other person next to him and shook the second girl, saying, "Jill, get up, you're going to be late. If you don't report to the police station's STARS (Special Strategic Rescue Team) squad, Wesker won't let you have breakfast or lunch."

Rebecca called Jill a second time, but Jill, who had woken up first, turned off her alarm to sleep a little longer. When her own alarm went off, Rebecca knew it was her wake-up time, so she hurriedly woke Jill up. Jill sat up and stretched.

“It’s already past 9 o’clock. It’ll be at least 10 o’clock by the time we get to the police station, and it’s your turn to work the early shift today. Wesker will definitely not let you off the hook,” Rebecca said helplessly, handing Jill her coat.

"Oh no, I'm late again, I'm going to get yelled at again." Jill grabbed her coat and rushed into the bathroom to wash up. She knew she had made a mistake again.
