The familiar look, the irritating voice—Lu Yunmeng was startled for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss?"
Watching the MK2 fly nimbly and clear away glass shards with energy beams from its palms, she was a little confused as to why Tony Stark was here.
"Looks like I've come at the right time. From now on, please call me Timely Rain!"
Tony joked casually, then slammed his Iron Man suit onto the ground with a thud, instantly attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, boss." Lu Yunmeng grinned, revealing her shiny white teeth.
The MK2 actually made its public debut in Iron Man 2, when Tony Stark, poisoned by palladium, became despondent, and Rhodey took the suit and modified it into the real machine it became.
She was certain that Tony had not been driving the MK2 in Harlem, Manhattan, during the incident; it seemed as if an invisible wind had been stirred by the butterfly effect.
Fortunately, they arrived in time, and no one was injured by the broken glass!
The butterfly effect began long ago; with Lu Yunmeng's arrival in this world, many plot timelines have seen new branching changes.
She wasn't worried at all; she figured she might as well make the best of it.
"In fact, you're flying too fast."
"I've already pushed the speed to the maximum, and it still took more than an hour to fly!"
Tony took a breath and replied helplessly.
Since Lu Yunmeng suddenly left the hot pot banquet, Jarvis has been tracking her via satellite signals.
When he discovered the problem in Manhattan, Tony immediately assembled the MK2 Iron Man suit and flew over amidst sparks and lightning.
The MK2's maximum speed is Mach 2, which is the fastest way he could think of to get there.
"Tony, you help the people escape first, and leave the rest to me."
Lu Yunmeng knew that the MK2's defense was very poor; in fact, the Iron Man armors before the MK6 all had very poor defense.
The main issues were with the materials and design. Because it used traditional titanium alloy, the toughness and strength of the material were far inferior to those of later armor.
There is an army of tens of thousands of people here. Even if Tony's movement speed is not slow, he cannot withstand the large amount of energy consumption.
"Okay, before that, General Ross, I want to say that you have committed a crime!"
"He ordered his troops to open fire in the city center without authorization and arrested Stark Industries' private bodyguards on trumped-up charges."
"Someone is on their way, and I hope you can handle the consequences of doing so."
Tony said indignantly, and then, without waiting for General Ross's response, he manipulated his Iron Man suit to help civilians escape.
In his view, General Ross was simply courting death by using the same methods he used on the Hulk against Supergirl—it was utterly absurd!
A fool, always angry and not very intelligent.
One was perfectly clear-headed, yet remained rational; both possessed immense destructive power, but were incomparable.
Besides, when did Tony Stark's personal bodyguards become subject to military control?
“Father, did you really not consider that Supergirl could capture you and stop this pointless war?” Betty leaned back in her chair, looking down at the chaotic city below, her deep voice slowly emerging from her hoarse throat.
"Hmph, I couldn't be happier! This just proves my judgment!"
The military is the face of the nation, and the position of general is not just for show! Taking action against an active-duty general, even just threatening him, will cause a huge uproar.
"Superpowered individuals must be controlled by those in power, as powerful superpowered individuals can cause uncontrollable and massive destruction and threats!"
"I don't deny Supergirl's power, but if she wants to live a normal life instead of flying to Mars, she must accept the rules!"
"Unless she can kill all the witnesses and bring the incident to a complete end, she will face immense pressure and criticism from public opinion."
General Ross's face was grim as he stared at Betty with disappointment and spoke.
Tony Stark is indeed no simple character; he has a vast network of connections and influence behind him, so much so that even the military wouldn't dare to openly cause trouble.
But there was no room for negotiation on this matter; he was determined to get it!
"Order the troops to take down both experimental targets at all costs!" He paused for a moment and then issued the order in a deep voice.
Chapter 17 Impact (Revised Edition)
Under General Ross's strict orders, the surrounding area was quickly cleared out, leaving no civilians except for the surrounding troops.
Lu Yunmeng was finally able to unleash her full power, continuously releasing laser thermal vision, and the red light destroyed one tank and armored vehicle after another!
Violent explosions rang out continuously, flames soared into the sky and thick smoke billowed, with charred military wreckage everywhere!
The helicopter formation in the air was not spared either; all of them had their rotors cut off and fell from the sky.
Lu Yunmeng is not bloodthirsty, but that doesn't mean she hasn't killed anyone. Most of these soldiers are just following orders and are not ruthless terrorists.
She has already given him a chance. If he continues to be hostile, then he will only have himself to blame for being burned to death by her intense gaze.
The experimental unit was wiped out, so be it. Several hundred people were a special unit formed to target people with superpowers. From the moment they plotted against her and Hulk to the moment they went to the battlefield, they should have been prepared to be killed.
Although every soldier has a family behind him, killing one person is equivalent to destroying the pillar of a family, but if life is threatened, then we can only say sorry.
Therefore, she tries to control the precision and force, and as long as she does not make any crazy attack, she will quickly throw the soldiers trapped inside out before the plane crashes or the tanks and armored vehicles explode.
If there's really no way to save them, then they can only hope for the best.
The play has reached this point, and there's no need to create a completely virtuous and righteous image for myself.
Half an hour later, all the armed vehicles were destroyed, and most of the rocket launchers and firearms were twisted into pretzel shapes, rendering them useless.
Most of the soldiers put down their guns and surrendered, because there was no point in continuing the fight.
They knew they were facing a monstrous opponent, someone who could walk leisurely through a hail of bullets.
At this point, guns and firearms have become meaningless.
The Harlem borough of Manhattan is devastated, with the area affected by the fighting engulfed in flames and thick smoke billowing into the sky. A large number of firefighters are working to control the fire from the outside.
Soldiers stunned by the aftershocks of the battle, those who went into shock from the thick smoke, and those who surrendered were carried out of the battlefield one after another.
Lu Yunmeng wasn't idle either, using her exaggerated speed to move the wounded back and forth.
The battle is over; there's no need to create further complications.
In addition, Hulk would carry bundles of people around like firewood and throw them to safety.
In the end, only the armed helicopter that General Ross was riding in remained, hovering in mid-air.
Under Banner's subconscious influence, Hulk will deliberately avoid the helicopter, since his beloved Betty is sitting inside.
Lu Yunmeng doesn't have the same scruples as Hulk. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't kill indiscriminately to avoid her 'infamy' spreading far and wide.
Although the battle was far from life-threatening, blood-sucking mosquitoes are still very annoying.
Now that the area has been cleared, it's time to deal with the culprit.
General Ross was stunned, staring at the scene below—a hellish landscape of ruins and flames—and didn't know what to think.
He was defeated, utterly defeated. Three mixed divisions plus a special experimental unit were wiped out by two monsters in half an hour.
Yes, the despicable Supergirl and Hulk didn't kill a single person. Instead, they braved a hail of bullets to save many civilians and soldiers, which is the most infuriating thing.
He was like a clown who thought he was in control of everything, trying to peer into the giant's eyes, only to be trampled to death by the awakened giant.
As Ross watched the Superwoman slowly fly in front of the helicopter, her eyes flashing red as she coldly stared at him, he felt a pang of regret.
It's not that I regret the action itself, but rather that I regret acting rashly without thoroughly investigating Supergirl's abilities!
At that moment, an armed helicopter approached from afar, and a cold voice blared from its loudspeaker.
"General Ross, this is Major Rhodes. Please disarm immediately and cease operations!"
"The Secretary of State is aware of your actions, and the Department of Defense has issued an arrest warrant for you! You are under arrest!"
A bitter smile appeared on Ross's weathered face. He was finished; his military and political careers were over.
Disregarding the safety of civilians, they arbitrarily mobilized troops and opened fire in the city, causing widespread destruction. Even if no one died, they could not escape punishment from the higher levels of the government.
General Ross glanced at the people on the helicopter. Apart from a few loyal soldiers who followed him, the only other person on board was his daughter.
"I accept the arrest."
After a long silence, he seemed completely exhausted. He sighed, slumped in his chair, and said weakly.
The red light in Lu Yunmeng's eyes faded, and she stopped using laser vision. She didn't actually intend to attack the armed helicopter; it was just a deterrent.
She didn't care what would happen to General Ross, the culprit, after his arrest, because he was unlikely to ever reappear; America was incredibly adept at dealing with scapegoats.
A reasonable disappearance is friendly to everyone.
Morality can save lives, but it can also kill.
After the fight, Hulk wasn't satisfied, so Lu Yunmeng chatted with the big guy for a while and promised to play with him next time they met.
Hulk then shrank back, satisfied, regaining his consciousness as Bruce Banner.
Betty cried and hugged Banner tightly, repeatedly saying sorry. She never thought things would develop to this point.
Lu Yunmeng glanced meaningfully at Betty, who was crying her eyes out. She could say Betty was lucky.
General Ross wasn't a good father, but he was at least decent to his daughter. Unfortunately, his ambition was too great, which dragged his daughter down with him, and ultimately, he failed.
Betty foresaw her father's fate from his almost obsessive desire to take down both his boyfriend and Supergirl.
She had no intention of begging for Supergirl's forgiveness. Besides not knowing from what angle to criticize her, the most important thing was that her father had already caused a huge mess, and no one could save him!
Banner was very grateful to Lu Yunmeng, and he still retained the memories of his transformation.
Being able to persuade Hulk not to cause widespread destruction made him feel much better.
Lu Yunmeng didn't reveal the fact that Hulk could communicate; she just laughed it off.
She invited Betty and Banner to Los Angeles, and Tony would never refuse two brilliant scholars.
Banner agreed. It didn't matter where he went anyway; Supergirl could keep the Hulk in check, so it would be safer for her to stay by his side.
Betty didn't refuse; her father had been arrested, she had lost her job, and she had nowhere to go.
Tony Stark himself was the happiest.
"Hey, that's great! Dr. Banner, I've heard so much about you!"
"Dr. Betty, I'm very interested in your field, and I welcome you to join us!"
"By the way, you won't be disappointed with Stark Industries' compensation!"
