"I must thank you for this, Your Excellency."

Lu Yunmeng landed on the ground with a serious expression, clasped her hands together and placed them on her abdomen, bowing slightly to perform the unique ritual of the Kamar-Taj sorcerers, in order to express her respect.

"I will make good use of this power."

Although she was not a sorcerer, the Ancient One had taught her, even if it was just by opening the library to her.

Gu nodded and bowed in return.

"Venerable One, then I will not disturb the cultivation of you mystical masters any longer. I will take my leave now." Lu Yunmeng politely expressed her intention to leave and waved goodbye.

Now that she had achieved her purpose for coming here, there was no need to stay and continue her seclusion. To be honest, she was craving Sichuan cuisine.

"Child, you can come anytime if you need anything. At your speed, it should be easy."

Gu Yi smiled and said kindly.

The unknown power symbolizes the unknown path, and it also comes with unknown risks. She hopes that Lu Yunmeng can use this power in the right place.

The terrifying speed at which Lu Yunmeng flew these past two days might be imperceptible to other sorcerers, but as a Supreme Mage, he was fully aware of it.

"Of course, I'll avoid barging in recklessly next time."

Lu Yunmeng smiled faintly, revealing an embarrassed expression.

She flew to the Himalayas without realizing it, accidentally breaking the barrier of Kamar-Taj. It wasn't until she created microscopic stars that she realized the foolish thing she had done.

The Ancient One was good-natured; it was already quite kind of her not to have been knocked out herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yunmeng turned around and lightly drew a finger in the air, instantly opening a spatial portal that sparked with sparks.

The spells used are almost exactly the same as those used by the arcane sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, except that the fire is white.

She stepped into the portal under the Ancient One's gratified gaze and disappeared into the Holy Land.

The two were very in sync; from beginning to end, the Ancient One never used the opening of the Kamar-Taj Library as a bargaining chip to ask Lu Yunmeng to protect Earth in times of crisis.

Lu Yunmeng did not forget her responsibilities and her original intention to solve the problem.

Only after the portal completely closed did Mage Mordo recover from his daze. He looked at the Ancient One with a shocked expression and spoke urgently:

"Your Excellency! Did you see that? She created a spatial gate without using the suspension ring!"

He could hardly believe that someone who had been in Kamar-Taj for more than ten days and was facing the unsolvable problem of being unable to learn arcane arts due to his anti-magic constitution had actually reached the point where he could use arcane arts without a sling ring!

This was truly astonishing, and while it shocked me, it also instilled a deep sense of apprehension.

“Yes, that’s her talent.” Gu Yi turned and left, saying casually without looking back.

"She has broken the taboo and violated the rules. We should imprison her! Let the dimensions be spared from the unknown risks!"

Mordo frowned, still unwilling to give up, and continued.

From beginning to end, he stubbornly adhered to the rules of the sorcerer and could not accept how things had developed.

In his view, heretics must be judged, and no one can break the rules!

However, Mordo did not notice that his face revealed deep jealousy. As the saying goes, "the face reflects the heart," and he became somewhat ferocious.

"You're being too harsh on Modu. Sometimes you need to try looking at things from other angles."

Ancient One waved her hand dismissively and replied, walking further and further away until she disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving Mordo standing there, looking struggling and at a loss.

In the evening, at his Malibu beach villa in Los Angeles, Tony, who had just finished adjusting his armor, wanted to rest for a while. He went to the living room and sat on the sofa when he suddenly heard his phone ring.

He picked up the phone and saw it was Pepper calling. He answered immediately; he had asked Pepper to help him look up information in Obadiah's office, and the results should be available by now.

However, Tony was careless. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard a buzzing in his ears, and an indescribable numbness instantly spread throughout his body. He stiffened and fell onto the sofa, unable to move.

A dark figure emerged from behind the sofa and slowly walked up to Tony; it was Obadiah.

"Breathe, relax, Tony. Remember this thing?"

Obadiah grinned maliciously, holding a mechanical device that resembled a remote control in his hand.

Tony was completely speechless, his body stiff and unable to even move his eyes.

He was certainly aware of this portable sonic paralysis weapon being researched by Stark's weapons development department. Because of its small size and ease of operation, he was worried that it might leak into the outside world and cause uncontrollable consequences.

Therefore, the government did not approve production, and Stark Industries strictly managed and destroyed the stock, but Obadiah secretly kept a considerable amount of inventory.

Once activated, this thing can paralyze an adult's entire body and instantly render them unable to resist, simply by being placed near their ear.

Tony was careless; long before Lu Yunmeng reminded him, he had already begun to suspect that Obadiah had a problem.

But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, because his uncle, who had been kind to him since childhood and was also his father's close friend.

Jarvis's failure to immediately remove Obadiah's access to his residence left him in a dangerous and vulnerable position.

“Tony, I wanted to kill you back then. I was worried that I had killed a goose that lays golden eggs.”

Obadiah grabbed Tony's chin, forcing him to look at him.

The weapons manufactured by Stark Industries and used by the Ten Rings terrorists were made by his men on his orders.

Obadiah wanted to make more money, and even though Stark Industries was the leading company in all of America, he wasn't satisfied.

He orchestrated the terrorist attack and kidnapping, intending to kill Tony and seize control of the entire business empire.

Little did anyone know that the Ten Rings were extremely greedy and secretly delayed Tony's death, wanting to use this genius playboy to manufacture more Jericho missiles, which gave Tony the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"So you should thank God and me for surviving."

As Obadiah spoke, he took out an extractor and forcefully pried the reactor off Tony's chest.

"Hey, this is beautiful. You've laid the last golden egg; this will be your legacy."

Obadiah smiled broadly, looking at the glowing arc reactor in his hand with obvious satisfaction.

Tony stared intently at his uncle, who had watched him grow up, his heart filled with regret. If he had been able to set aside some of his pride and listen to others' advice, things might not have turned out this way.

He's like a live fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

Obadiah casually leaned back on the sofa, chatted for a few moments about his thoughts, and looked confident of victory.

His words revealed his vision for the future, and he told Tony that he had also created a powerful suit of armor.

As long as the technology inside this little thing is replicated and mass-produced and deployed on the armor, he can possess a new generation of weapon cores and an entire steel legion, and stand at the forefront of leading the way in advanced weaponry.

At that time, piles of money will magically appear in your pockets.

In reality, Tony didn't care about any of that. What concerned him most was Obadiah's desire to get rid of Pepper as soon as possible.

Obadiah's mouth was dry from talking. He glanced at Tony, who was slumped on the sofa, as if he were looking at a dead man, and then turned and left the villa.

The portable sonic paralysis device lasts for about 15 minutes. Once Tony was able to move, he immediately headed towards the underground laboratory.

The first-generation reactor was to be destroyed after the arc reactor that was used to create the MK3 Iron Man armor was built.

Pepper kept the reactor and made it into a gift for Tony, with a note that Tony Stark had a warm heart.

But now it has become a lifesaver!

Tony was incredibly grateful for God's favor and Pepper's thoughtfulness; he still had time to get a 'heart' transplant and save the dog's life.

Without the miniature arc reactor, the shrapnel hidden in his blood vessels began to flow towards his heart, causing him to feel severe chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Having finally made it to the laboratory, Tony lost his last bit of strength, staggered and fell to the floor, unable to move an inch.

Looking at the first-generation reactor so close at hand, Tony stared wide-eyed in despair, reaching out but unable to touch it as if it were a thousand miles away.

He didn't even have the strength to call Lu Yunmeng now, and he figured she would be furious when she saw her boss's corpse.

After all, the person who pays salaries is gone.

Tony gave a wry smile. Obadiah was doomed. Supergirl would never let him go. Even though he had also created armor, he would probably be crushed into a pile of scrap metal.

Thinking about the terrifying power emanating from those slender arms, he still can't figure out the principle behind it.

Just then, a shadow blocked the light from above his head.

"Mr. Stark, are you alright? Do you need any help?"

A simple, honest voice rang out, sounding somewhat bewildered.

Tony strained his eyes and saw Bruce Banner staring at him blankly.

Chapter 29 The Iron Monarch Makes His Debut

Inside the office, Pepper stared at the disconnected phone, sensing that something might have happened to Tony.

After stealing confidential information from Obadiah's computer, she was terrified and immediately contacted Agent Phil Coulson, whom she had already arranged to meet.

Originally, Pepper had absolutely no interest in this so-called Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Agency.

Unable to resist their sincere attitude, they persistently tried to contact Tony Stark.

Out of courtesy, Pepper, as his private secretary, decided to meet with Coulson to find out what his purpose was.

As a result, it happened to coincide with Obadiah's discovery that Pepper had stolen the data and his attempt to take action in secret.

Upon learning of Obadiah's crimes, Coulson immediately used his authority to mobilize personnel near S.H.I.E.L.D.

A team of elite agents, all tasked with arresting Obadiah.

Soon, Pepper led five agents to the Stark Industries District 16, which was mentioned in the classified documents.

Her access card had already been deactivated. After blasting open the door and breaking in, she discovered the MK1 armor hidden inside.

"You're right, he did indeed create the Iron Man suit."

Coulson stared at the MK1 and said with a serious expression.

He roughly understood the power of this thing. Although it didn't seem as strong as the suit of armor Tony used to sneak into Milgard to rescue the refugees, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could handle.

It possesses supersonic flight capability and is virtually immune to gun attacks.

It possesses a powerful defensive capability that prevents it from sustaining significant damage even when hit by tank shells and falling from a great height.

And its attack power, which can easily destroy terrorist ammunition depots, should not be underestimated!

Fortunately, Obadiah hasn't put it on yet, so they still have a chance.

Pepper stood to the side, slightly puzzled. She had seen the blueprints in the hidden folder and remembered that the Iron Man armor should be larger.

Coulson immediately became alert and ordered S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to search the weapons research lab separately.
