Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Stark, trying to justify his actions, impatiently activated his armor and flew towards the other side.

"Wait! Stark, you can't... Fuck!"

Abomination tried to stop Stark, but the worst thing you can do in a fight is to act alone. You can't fight against many opponents, and acting rashly will only lead to being surrounded by the enemy.

But Stark's mind was only on the source of the armor on the other side and the whereabouts of Obadiah Stan.

Stark's arrival was exactly what Ivan and Wanda wanted; they nodded to each other to confirm their actions.

Hatred united them, and as long as their goal was to take revenge on Stark, they could cooperate seamlessly.

Stark in the air was immediately subjected to long-range attacks. The machine guns on his armor, designed by Ivan, formed an anti-aircraft fire net, forcing Stark to make rapid maneuvers to avoid damage.

With their synchronized movements and coordinated commands, Stark quickly noticed the difference: these suits of armor clearly had no unnecessary movements, indicating that they were all under the command of a single consciousness.

"Jarvis, locate their mainframe!"

Stark kept maneuvering to avoid anti-aircraft fire, but before Jarvis could send back a message, Stark saw the armored vehicles in the back row on the ground start their engines and fly towards him.

"Damn it, speed up! Leave them behind!"

The game of chase continued in the sky, and Jarvis's results were transmitted: "Sir, the main unit is on the front-line mech. If you look closely, you'll clearly see that it's different from the one chasing you..."

Jarvis carefully projected Ivan's current image onto the screen in front of Stark. Ivan, clad in armor, showed only his head, his face full of fierce features, looking contemptuously at the battle in the sky.

"He's not Stan, find out who he is!"

"Yes, sir, we are searching, but I suggest you get away from your pursuers first..."

"Jarvis, arguing isn't a good habit! Prepare to slow down, swarm missile launch!"

In the sky, Stark's speed brakes suddenly deployed, and the pulse emitters on his body began to operate in the opposite direction, making him appear to freeze in the air. In an instant, the pursuers behind Stark overtook him.

At the same time, the shoulders of the Stark armor opened, and rows of small missile launchers popped out from inside, sending a barrage of missiles flying toward the armor in front of it.

Although the missiles were small, they were incredibly powerful. They accurately hit every enemy, and the explosions turned them into fragments.

Seeing this scene, Ivan still had that nonchalant expression. He even deactivated the anti-air defense on his armor and let Stark come to his side.

Looking at Ivan and the robotic soldiers around him, Stark said nonchalantly, "The design is good, but you should increase the RPM by thirty percent; that would improve power output..."

Ivan spat out the toothpick and said, "Pah. Stark, you should pay your debts!"

"Oh (⊙o⊙)? What debt? Stark never owes anyone anything. You'd better explain yourself. But now you'd better tell me where your reactor came from, and where Stan is!"

Stark threatened Ivan, pointing his pulse transmitter at him, but was met with Ivan's indifferent spit.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Stark threatened again, "You better hurry up and tell me, or I'll send two big guys to talk to you. They're ruthless!"

Hearing this, Ivan laughed and gestured behind Stark, saying, "You mean those two green fat guys who were passionately fighting?"

"what?"

Stark, in disbelief, turned around and saw Abomination and Hulk locked in a fierce battle, locked in a close and inseparable struggle.

Abomination was originally going to support Stark, since it's safer to have teammates around on the battlefield. But to his surprise, Hulk attacked him immediately upon seeing him.

This left Abomination completely tied up, forcing him to deal with this problem first. However, Abomination wasn't averse to this kind of thing, since Hulk was his target and defeating Hulk was part of his self-worth.

Stark called out to Abomination, "Bronsky! What are you doing?"

Abomination pinned Hulk down, relentlessly throwing punches, and between breaths replied to Stark, "Inventor, mind your own business first!"

Stark turned around and saw the Iron Man suit next to Ivan already aiming at him. He unconsciously swallowed and said, "Can we talk?"

Ivan raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, but you have to talk to those two kids first..."

## Chapter 307: Wanda and her siblings' revenge

Stark turned around and saw the two siblings he had met during the vampire incident. At the time, Stark had thought they were his illegitimate children, but Ashe dispelled that idea.

However, looking at the excited and angry state of the two siblings, Stark felt that he might have made too many mistakes in the first half of his life, which Ash could not possibly understand from a theological point of view.

This is clearly a story about a sibling who was abandoned by their biological father, relied on each other for survival, and then sought revenge on their father.

Stark removed his armor and said in the gentlest voice he could muster, "Ahem, kids, we'll talk about that later. Now, let me defeat this big guy whose hair is soaked in engine oil, okay?"

Stark's words made Wanda and her siblings feel as if they had discovered something indescribable—like a mouse killing a cat and then killing the dog and dragging it home. Their initial anger turned into fury.

"Executioner, pay the price for what you've done!"

Wanda didn't say anything more, and launched a fireball, giving Stark no time to react.

A barrage of fireballs rained down on Stark, who, confident in his armor, had no intention of dodging.

"Sir, high temperature warning!"

Jarvis instantly took control of his armor, taking over Stark's operation, and searched for any gaps in the fireballs to evade the attack.

After completing the evasive maneuver, Jarvis explained, "Sir, the detectors show the fireball's temperature exceeds three thousand degrees Celsius. The alloy armor cannot withstand such a temperature. According to the emergency control procedures, I have temporarily taken over the operation of the armor..."

Looking at the crystallized ground, Stark said with lingering fear, "Well done, Jarvis. Now classify these two little guys as low-threat enemies. Don't use lethal force..."

"But sir, simulation data shows that without the use of lethal force, you cannot resist the enemy in front of you. According to the data calculation, there is a 74% chance that..."

"Shut up! Jarvis, listen to me...they're still children!"

Stark looked at the two siblings in front of him, but instead of fighting them, he prepared to take off directly into the sky, for the sky was Iron Man's domain.

However, as soon as the armor floated into the air, it was suppressed by the firepower network constructed by Ivan. After many attempts, Stark was attacked by Ivan as soon as he left the ground.

Stark, somewhat exasperated, said to Ivan, "You unwashed-hair bastard! What do you want?!"

"Heh! A family of thieves, you'd better think about how to deal with them!"

Ivan's motivation was revenge, and the thrill of toying with Stark gave him an indescribable sense of accomplishment, which was also part of his vengeance.

As a member of the united front, Ivan will also provide necessary assistance to the two siblings; who wouldn't like to see their enemy suffer a setback?

Wanda restricted Stark's movement, and Ivan blocked the sky, leaving Stark with no choice but to rely on Jarvis's simulation to dodge the endless fireballs.

Pietro, at this moment, was also ready. He did not participate at first, but only because he was preparing.

Pietro also carried a magical fire in his hand. The flame gradually changed color and became softer, but the ominous light it emitted made it clear to anyone who saw it that there was danger involved.

Pietro slammed the flame against his chest, the searing pain causing him to groan softly.

At this moment, Pietro's skin was covered with a metallic sheen, and as he took a slight step, one could see the thick footprints cut into the ground.

[Iron Body: One of the spells that incorporates flames into the body. Transforming the entire body into iron increases damage reduction and resistance, but significantly increases weight, making movement sluggish. Likely due to the difficulty of walking in swamps after use, it is now an obsolete spell in the Great Swamp.]

At this moment, Pietro transformed into a heavily armored tank; he himself was the best weapon, and then he began to run.

The iron body increases his weight, making his movements cumbersome. Therefore, Pietro did not attack Stark directly, but instead ran around him to gradually increase his speed.

Seeing Pietro's actions, Wanda and Ivan quickened their pace, trying to create an opportunity for him.

Stark was too busy dealing with the various attacks to pay attention to other battlefield situations. Only Jarvis, with the sensors on his armor, became aware of Pietro's increasing speed.

"Sir, be careful..."

Before Jarvis could finish speaking, Pietro rammed Stark, sending him flying.

Fortunately, after the last battle between the two fat men, Stark carefully modified the shock absorption system of his armor. Although the machine was damaged, he himself was not harmed.

"Jarvis, you should have said so sooner..."

"I'm sorry, sir, his speed has exceeded twice the speed of sound. I suggest you increase the radar detection sensitivity and take off to avoid being stranded on the ground..."

Jarvis's words made Stark, inside the armor, roll his eyes: "I know, if I had a chance, why wouldn't I leave? Why would I stay on the ground to get beaten up?"

"Sir, the data shows that in the seven minutes and forty-six seconds after you rashly landed at the start of the battle, you had more than 34 opportunities to take off and evade..."

Stark was surprised that his AI system was so oblivious, daring to point out his mistake. Stark coldly retorted, "Shut up! Jarvis, I'm the pilot. My choice is the optimal solution. Prepare Weapon D. Wait for my firing command..."

Jarvis obediently carried out Stark's orders, and the lower part of the armor's arms slowly opened, weapons ready and awaiting Stark's command.

Stark, standing still, was soon met with a second impact. Pietro's attack plowed a long groove in the ground.

"Wait, wait, it's only twice the speed of sound, there's still time..."

Stark muttered to himself, preparing for the third impact.

Pietro didn't disappoint Stark, sending him flying even further on his third ramming attack.

Ivan noticed Stark's low resistance and that Stark was getting further and further away from them.

Sensing something was wrong, Ivan shouted to Pietro, "Bring Stark back! Don't let him stray too far!"

Upon hearing Ivan's words, Pietro circled around to Stark's back, intending to ram Stark back into place.

However, just as Pietro adjusted his direction and was about to appear behind Stark, two bright lights burst from his arm, covering the entire suit of armor, and Pietro crashed directly into them.

Weapon D is Stark's code name for his non-lethal weapon, a high-impact stun grenade, the kind he tricked the little boy Harry in the third movie. It can knock away Extremis-modified warriors without killing them.

Pietro was immediately drawn into the range of this weapon; the intense light, sound, and shockwave instantly rendered him unable to perceive his surroundings.

As expected, Pietro didn't make contact with Stark at all, and taking advantage of the gap, he returned to the sky.

Wanda rushed to Pietro's side, helped him up as he collapsed to the ground clutching his head, and quickly checked on his condition.

Stark, watching the two siblings from the sky, felt a pang of pity and comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, he's fine. He just needs some rest..."

To Wanda, Stark's words of comfort were nothing short of another mockery of her and her brother. Revenge had brought them to this point, and the comfort from their enemy only fueled her anger.

This time, Wanda could no longer suppress the hatred and anger in her heart. She stared at Stark in the sky, her eyes flashing with red and black light.

## Chapter 308: The Reason for Hatred

Wanda manipulated the energy, sending Pietro behind Ivan and protecting him inside a steel soldier.

Then she took out a staff—a magician's staff, a weapon that Constantine had specially prepared for her.

Up to this point, Wanda was the only one in the entire Dragon Academy who had been linked to the power of the King of Souls, and her exceptional talent allowed her to accept any magic and spell.

Constantine didn't hold back either, teaching Wanda any spells she could learn.

Wanda took out her staff, pointed it at Stark in the sky, and said, "Die, executioner! I will inflict all the suffering we have endured upon you..."

This was the second time Wanda had called Stark an executioner, a peculiar title that made Stark's expression darken. He thought of Stark Industries' most famous business: arms sales.

Stark then realized why the Shwanda siblings were so agitated to see him; they must have been planning to seek revenge on him last time.

In fact, Wanda would be able to leave the battlefield with just one barrage of fire, and with the magic of Ash and Constantine, she would not suffer fatal damage.
