Kamen Rider ZZZ from the American comic book world

Upon hearing this, Tony was certain that the person in front of him was the same person who had appeared in his dream a few days ago and given him the evidence of Obadiah's crimes.

"So what exactly is that thing you're wearing? It doesn't look like armor, but there are other parts that do." Tony voiced the question that had been bothering him.

Li Ai replied, "This is a kind of power."

"Superpowers?" Tony thought naturally.

At this point, Jarvis completed tracking the signal and immediately handed the coordinate information to Tony.

Tony looked at the location information on the control panel, placed his palms flat on either side of his body, and activated all the thrusters at once, preparing to take him to find the 'mastermind'.

"ZZZ, want to come along?" Tony invited Li Ai before leaving.

"Do not……"

Just as Li Ai was about to refuse Tony, she discovered that the Iron Tyrant, whose Arc Reactor had been destroyed, was actually using its physical body to support its heavy armor and was devouring the Super Tyrant, gradually transforming into another kind of being.

Large amounts of bright red flesh and blood seeped out from the gaps in the armor and fused together. In order to support its heavy body, the Steel Tyrant changed from standing upright on two legs to crawling on all fours like a beast.

"Leave this to me, you go do what you need to do," Li Ai said, looking at the monster that was not yet fully formed.

Although he didn't know who was behind the mask, Tony trusted the other person's fighting ability. However, he couldn't find the words of encouragement and finally managed to utter a single sentence.

"Beat that monster to a pulp!"

After saying that, Tony flew into the sky.

Chapter 36 A Fragile Alliance (7/7 Requesting monthly votes and continued reading)

Meanwhile, inside the factory used to test the Steel Tyrant

When the Steel Tyrant set off, Exera realized that it was no longer safe here, so she began the evacuation work and transferred the research data out.

Upon seeing the live battle footage showing both the Steel Tyrant and the Super Tyrant being suppressed, Exera raised the alert level to the highest level and activated the factory's self-destruct program.

As Exera watched the flashing red light on the screen and the ten-minute countdown, a bold idea came to her.

"So what mode of transportation should we use to evacuate?" Obadiah's voice sounded behind her.

Exera turned around and saw Obadiah reaching into his suit pocket.

"We've got the same idea..." Excella thought to herself, but outwardly remained calm as she said:

"Of course, we'll go through the underground passage. Tony Stark's suit of armor is probably as fast as an F-22. There's no way we can escape by helicopter."

"An underground passage?" Obadiah frowned slightly, then smiled broadly and said, "That's quite thoughtful of you. Lead the way then."

“Then come with me.” Exera led Obadiah toward the lower levels of the factory, but along the way, more than a dozen armed security personnel appeared.

Although these armed personnel wore the same combat uniforms and carried the same type of submachine guns, they were actually divided into two camps, namely those belonging to the Tri-United Company and Obadiah, and usually distinguished each other by different colored armbands.

The private soldiers belonging to the Sanlian Company had an internal encrypted channel. When their captain saw that the boss was preparing to evacuate through the underground passage, he came to protect Axela.

The soldiers hired by Obadiah were not very loyal; they were only loyal because they shared common interests and had to protect Obadiah.

The two groups of people, each with their own ulterior motives, arrived at the entrance to the underground passage.

"Wait a mininute."

After Axela placed her hand on the fingerprint lock to confirm her identity, the heavy door opened to the left and right with the help of the electro-hydraulic system.

This was the first time Obadiah had felt how agonizing it was to wait for a door to open. When the door opened and light streamed into the dark passage, a squad of private soldiers belonging to the Triad Company rushed out, armed with ASH12 large-caliber fully automatic rifles, and opened fire without hesitation on targets with different armband colors.

The private soldiers of the Three Unions Company are all children they recruited from impoverished countries and raised to adulthood. Their loyalty and fighting spirit are absolutely trustworthy, and they are even willing to act as human shields for Exera when necessary.

Obadiah's situation was much worse; these mercenaries were considered to have professional ethics for not surrendering.

Moreover, this is within the territory of Sanlian Company, and many devices are not authorized for Obadiah, so there is no opportunity for him to tamper with them.

Faced with Exera's attempt to murder him, Obadiah tried to produce a sonic transmitter that could temporarily incapacitate humans, but it was shattered by a large-caliber bullet fired by Ash12 in the chaos.

After a round of fighting, several of the private soldiers belonging to the Tri-Union Company were killed, but all of Obadiah's mercenaries were killed.

Obadiah himself was in a terrible state. The bullets fired from the Ash12, a large-caliber rifle, were so powerful that even a madman in a high would not be able to withstand them. He lost an arm after being hit by a stray bullet.

Looking at Obadiah lying on the ground, clutching his wound and groaning, Exera waved her hand, and one of her private soldiers handed her an air pistol.

Exera took the pistol and said coldly, "Remember not to do such two-faced things in your next life, Mr. Obadiah Stan. After all, you can betray Stark for profit, and you can betray us for profit too."

With that, she lightly pulled the trigger, and with a 'whoosh', something that looked like an anesthetic needle hit Obadiah in the chest.

The moment Obadiah was pricked by the needle, he felt the pain less intense and even had the chance to speak.

"What is this thing?!"

Obadiah, of course, did not believe that this vicious woman would allow him to die peacefully; he simply wanted to understand some things before he died.

Seeing this, Exera smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully, "All you need to know is that it's a virus that can turn people into zombies. Speaking of which, you were the first test subject."

After saying that, Exera ignored Obadiah and led her men into the underground passage, leaving the place that was about to be destroyed.

Obadiah was left on the ground, slowly waiting for the process of turning into a zombie.

....................................

Meanwhile, on the highway

The out-of-control Steel Tyrant has completely transformed into a beast, but its strength and speed have been greatly enhanced. When it runs, it can create a howling wind, and vehicles are easily smashed and torn apart by it.

Faced with such a monster, after several attempts to probe, Li Ai lowered his center of gravity, slid in to the out-of-control Steel Tyrant, and then punched it hard in the abdomen.

After swallowing the incapacitated Super Tyrant, the out-of-control Steel Tyrant's weight increased significantly. As soon as Li Ai touched it with his fist, he felt that this thing might be heavier than an armored vehicle.

Upon realizing the situation had changed, Li Ai unleashed a barrage of punches, relentlessly striking the out-of-control Steel Tyrant's abdomen. Each punch was like a cannonball, showing no mercy, with blood, flesh, and iron filings splattering everywhere.

The power of the impact capsule flowed through the energy channel to Li Ai's fist, and red light burst forth from it, eventually transforming into a rising dragon punch that shot straight into the sky.

"Roar!"

The out-of-control Steel Tyrant roared as its massive body was blasted away, a bloody hole punched in its abdomen. It rolled over on the highway full of cars, crushing many of them.

Li Ai pressed his advantage, relentlessly punching the beast's head. The helmet, made of alloy steel, shattered into metal fragments after only a few blows. Blood and flesh mixed with fragments slashed across Li Ai's cheeks as the beast struggled to shake its head off.

Sensing the monster's intentions, Li Ai used its back as a springboard to leap high into the air before unleashing his ultimate attack.

Red light flowed through his body via energy channels, and he assumed a kicking stance, landing on the out-of-control Steel Tyrant under the pull of gravity.

"Roar!" The monster let out a more painful roar than before, and the energy characters of the number '7' appeared around it.

Two equally powerful high kicks struck the out-of-control Steel Tyrant's side, causing it to cry out in pain. The three '7's were linked together, and at this moment, Li Ai leaped up, gathering all his energy into a flying kick, which finally turned into a meteor and kicked through the out-of-control Steel Tyrant's body.

【ImpactVanish! Z·Z·Z! 】

The flying kick completed the final stroke, turning the three '7's into a complete string of 'ZZZ'.

Chapter 37 You protected...you really protected everything.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a violent burst of fire, carrying debris and dust, shot into the sky, and the shockwave spread outwards.

With his back to the explosion, Li Ai's energy channels gradually dimmed.

The Steel Tyrant was annihilated by 'Impact Annihilation', leaving not even fragments behind; the battle was over.

However, the road was also riddled with potholes, and a large number of cars were damaged, some of which were crushed into sheets of metal.

Different voices entered Li Ai's ears.

"Fortunately, someone defeated those monsters."

"He protected us!"

"Do you think I can go and get an autograph?"

The voice contained gratitude and joy at surviving the ordeal, but also some complaints.

"My car!"

"I still have eight installments left on my loan!"

"How am I supposed to go to work tomorrow...?"

Li Ai listened to these voices without any change in her mindset; she simply took out the green dream capsule she had just acquired.

【Recovery!】

Good morning! Rider! Z·Z·Z! Recovery!

A vibrant green light, emanating from the driver, flowed throughout Li Ai's body. His body transformed into a dark green mist, which gradually solidified and eventually took on a different form.

Kamen Rider ZZZ: Spirit Restoration Form

The power and physical impact of this posture were indeed vastly different, but Li Ai, who had just experienced a fierce battle, felt extremely energetic. He looked around at the chaotic scene and whispered:

"Let's change all of this."

He pressed his right hand to the ground, and a green light spread rapidly outwards from him.

The green light covered all the cars on the highway and in the service area, as well as ordinary people who took refuge nearby. People bathed in this green light felt much lighter, and all the ailments that had not been treated in time disappeared.

"It's amazing, I feel like the spinal problems that have been bothering me for ten years are all gone."

"I feel like the stones have disappeared."

"Hey, my leg that I broke a few days ago is already healed!"

Cheers of joy rose and fell, but what truly amazed them was yet to come.

Those cars that were smoking or even crushed into sheet metal were restored to their original state under the green light, even better than before they were damaged, just like brand new cars that had just left the factory.

"Wow...that's incredible!"

"What kind of superpower is this?"

“From today onwards, this… gentleman is my benefactor. Before you can criticize him, you’ll have to get past me first!”

After Li Ai demonstrated the miraculous power of the recovery capsules, there wasn't a single curse in the room. Even if someone dared to complain, they would be shut down by his 'fervent fans'.

As the green light slowly dissipated, Li Ai felt a heaviness in his head. The first time he used the recovery capsule, the large-scale depletion was indeed severe. He forced himself to stand up and then saw a group of people walking towards him.

Among them were people of all ages and ethnicities. Li Ai even saw Happy, whose eyes were filled with gratitude.

“Sir, how should we address you?” a worker wearing a yellow hard hat asked him.

"Please, at least let us know the name of our savior," the woman holding the baby said.

"Kamen Rider ZZZ, that's my name."

Li Ai's voice was exceptionally clear under the night sky. Then, he jumped with all his might, and his figure completely disappeared into the night.

The crowd gazed longingly in the direction he disappeared, but they couldn't stay there for long; they were still ordinary people struggling to make a living.

Soon after, traffic resumed on the highway as if nothing had happened.

"I have to let Tony know about this." Happy had just parked his car at the service area and was about to take out his phone when he remembered something else.

"By the way, where's the child?!"

Happy remembered Li Ai's safety, so he prepared to make a phone call to her.

Just then, a car pulled up next to Happy, the window rolled down, revealing the handsome young man's face.

"Looks like you've been looking for me," Li Ai said to Happy with a smile.

These are all ordinary people; getting rid of their attention is far too easy for him.

"I'm so glad you're alright," Happy said thankfully. "I hope Tony is alright too."

Li Ai said, "Then I'll go home first."

Be careful on the road.

………………

Meanwhile, Tony arrived at the source of the signal. Jarvis quickly scanned the factory and then replied:

"Sir, there is only one human life signal left here."

"Turn the internal life support system to maximum power." Tony already had a guess in mind, but he still lowered the flight altitude, went deeper into the factory, and finally found Obadiah Stan looking like a stray dog.

Looking at Obadiah, whose skin was gray and whose veins were bulging, Tony was certain of his guess.

"How does it feel to be betrayed?" Tony wasn't questioning or mocking; he was asking calmly.
