Scarlett had been holding onto the Hydra Soldier, so the two of them weren't separated.
When the explosion subsided, everyone flew over excitedly.
Although there was an unexpected turn of events, they had at least captured a prisoner.
"I hope we can find out the origin of the mysterious force," someone said.
Everyone quickly stripped off the Hydra Soldier's armor, but to their disappointment, there was only a corpse inside.
That's right, the Hydra Soldier was dead.
Steve stepped forward to examine the Hydra Soldier's body, and after a moment, he said, "He had poison in his teeth.
He died instantly after biting down."
Dr. Banner asked in surprise, "Aren't they afraid of accidentally biting it when they eat?
Many foods require a strong bite."
Everyone was speechless.
Why was his focus so peculiar?
"This mysterious force is not only elusive but also has a large number of warriors willing to sacrifice for it.
It's terrifying," Hawkeye said.
Everyone nodded with solemn expressions; this mysterious force was very unusual.
"Their style is somewhat similar to HYDRA," Steve thought, a premonition of ill omen rising in his heart.
He shook his head and asked, "Should we go help Tony?"
Natasha hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait.
Ivan is our only clue right now."
"We can't wait.
Tony is more important than the mysterious force," Rhode shouted.
"We'll rush over as fast as we can.
Ivan might not be able to escape."
"Tony is indeed more important," Steve nodded in agreement.
Just then, Scarlett suddenly said, "Wait.
Tony will be fine."
Everyone was a bit surprised.
Steve guessed something, smiled, and said, "As expected of Howard's son, as cunning as his father.
Let's wait a bit longer then."
"Alright."
Seeing the Captain say this, everyone, though unclear why, still nodded in agreement.
"While we have time, Madam, shouldn't you explain why those people were chasing you?"
Rhode thought of something and turned to Maya Hansen, asking, "Also, does Tony really have illegitimate children, and twins at that?"
"Twins?
Illegitimate children?"
Everyone present's eyes lit up simultaneously.
This was a huge scandal.
Maya Hansen was speechless.
She said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Tony and I don't have children.
In fact, Tony probably can't have children.
I'm not slandering him.
He's had thousands of ex-girlfriends combined, yet there isn't even a rumor of an illegitimate child.
The truth is already very clear."
"Well-reasoned and convincing.
I think perhaps this is the reason for Tony's depravity."
Rhode nodded.
Steve was exasperated.
He said, "Let's get serious, Madam, why were they chasing you, and where did those high-temperature people come from?"
Maya Hansen said, "Let's go down first before talking.
Honestly, the battle just now almost made me throw up."
"Okay, let's fly down first."
Everyone nodded and flew down.
Then, their armors opened, and Maya Hansen quickly stepped out, gasping for air—though it was just psychological, as it wasn't stuffy inside the armor at all.
"I am biologist Maya Hansen."
Without making everyone wait long, Maya Hansen began to explain the situation: "I developed a virus that can enter our brain's repair center and re-encode it, allowing the human body to regenerate.
The high temperature you saw earlier was just a side effect of regeneration.
In fact, I've been stuck on this problem; many high-temperature people injected with Extremis have exploded.
I call this virus Extremis.
My original intention was to benefit society, but recently I discovered that my collaborator, Killian, has been secretly using Extremis to create terrorists."
Everyone was stunned: "Creating terrorists?"
Maya Hansen nodded.
She said, "Yes, creating terrorists.
He and that Middle Eastern man on TV are working together."
"Working together?
I understand.
The U.S. military base was destroyed by high-temperature people exploding.
No wonder no explosives were found at the scene."
Rhode suddenly realized.
He shouted, "I'll contact the President immediately and have him send the Security Bureau to arrest Killian."
"The Security Bureau is no match for the high-temperature people.
We must handle this ourselves," Steve shook his head.
He asked Maya Hansen, "Dr. Hansen, where is Killian?"
Maya Hansen said, "I don't know where he is, but I know the locations of most of the labs."
"That works too.
We'll go destroy those labs first."
Steve nodded.
Just as everyone was about to act, Hawkeye's phone suddenly rang.
It was Nick Fury calling—communications had returned to normal after Ivan left.
Nick Fury shouted, "Miami is in chaos.
Get over there and provide support immediately."
Everyone was stunned: "What?
Miami is in chaos?"
That's right, Miami was in chaos.
The streets were filled with gun-wielding, bizarre-looking terrorists, excitedly shooting everywhere, killing every American they saw on the street.
This was their purpose in America: revenge, to make America pay the price.
It's worth mentioning that these terrorists looked very bizarre.
Some glowed red, some were half-Lizard, half-human, and some had demonic features—horns, scales, goat-like feet, and so on.
The reason for this was that they had been used as test subjects.
Humans, this species, are always courting disaster—the Oil Interest Groups had numerous biological research laboratories.
They not only researched Human Enhancement Serum and Lizard potions but also the blood of demons.
That's right, the blood of demons.
Previously, New York was invaded by demons, and a large number of demons died in New York.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. vigorously cleaned up demon corpses afterward, quite a few demon corpses were still stolen by people with ulterior motives, such as the Oil Interest Groups.
These terrorists were cannon fodder anyway, and the Oil Interest Groups, adhering to the principle of waste utilization, experimented on them, which is why their appearances were so bizarre.
In fact, most of these terrorists wouldn't live for more than half a month.
It's worth mentioning that the terrorists were unaware of this and were instead smug about possessing superpowers.
Ignorance is truly terrifying; they were sold out and still helped count the money.
Besides the terrorists, gang members within Miami were also causing trouble.
This wasn't a collaboration with the terrorists; it was purely for money—the Oil Interest Groups paid them to stir up trouble.
Most gang members were greedy for money.
Seeing the generous reward, they immediately covered their faces and took to the streets with AKs.
As a result, Miami descended into chaos.
The screams and cries of citizens were incessant, and within a short time, hundreds of people lay in pools of blood.
As for the police, sorry, facing terrorists as vicious and powerful as demons, they even found it difficult to protect themselves.
"This is the second lesson I will teach you Americans," the TV signal was hijacked once again.
The bearded Middle Eastern man played footage of Miami while coldly saying, "What you do to others, others will do to you.
It's that simple.
Americans, soon, the third lesson will begin, and that will be the final lesson."
The audience watched the tragic situation on TV, both shocked and angry.
Many cursed, wondering if the government was too useless.
How could terrorists attack their homeland?
Jessica also cursed loudly, "These guys are too arrogant."
Gwen said, "That prisoner doesn't know where The Mastermind is, so let's go into the city to save people first."
"Alright."
The women didn't object, and Human Torch, who had returned to normal, also said, "I'll go too.
I'm full of anger right now."
"Then let's go," Susan said.
The group rode their flying skateboards and rushed into the city to save people.
"What does it mean to sit at home and have wealth fall from the sky?
America's villains are truly too polite," Andrew mused while sipping tea.
He had initially thought he'd only be watching this time, but he hadn't expected Killian to give him such a big gift by sending people to cause trouble in Miami.
Given the current situation in Miami, Andrew could conservatively expect to collect a hundred thousand Soul Contracts.
"Alice, send armed robots and ordinary robots to rescue the contractors.
As for those terrorists, kill all who threaten contractors; ignore the rest," Andrew said while pulling terrified citizens into the illusion to sign contracts.
"The more slaughter they create, the more souls we can harvest."
Alice asked, "Only robots?
Electronic Round Palace, Frank, Black Widow, aren't they deploying?"
"No deployment.
Electronic Round Palace is too powerful; if it appears, everyone will stop signing contracts," Andrew shook his head.
"As for whether Frank and the others go, that's up to them to decide."
"BOSS, I know what to do."
Alice nodded, and soon, a large number of robots teleported to Miami and began rescuing contractors.
It's worth mentioning that only Frank came with the robots; everyone else expressed no interest—Hulk didn't go because the opponents were too weak; he'd rather stay in hell fighting dinosaurs.
As for Howard, he was watching his son and Ivan's duel.
"Speaking of which, these humans are really bold, even daring to inject demon blood casually," Andrew secretly shook his head.
If Mephisto hadn't been killed by him, all those injected with demon blood would have become Old Mo's puppets, controlled by him.
Humans, this species, are most adept at courting disaster.
Andrew smiled slightly: "Keep it up.
I'll just watch the show.
If you blow up the Earth someday, that would be a masterpiece."
…
Next to Malibu Villa, Maya Hansen looked at the news projection and exclaimed, "This must be Killian's doing.
God, what have I done?"
"Captain, you go to Miami to support first.
I will send people to deal with the Extremis matter.
Miami is different from the battle-hardened New York; it's very fragile," Nick Fury shouted.
"Although Peace Knights have already arrived, this time, they only sent a small number of robots, which is far from enough."
"Alright," Steve nodded.
He said to Scarlett, "Scarlett, please take us to Miami.
Uh, be careful not to teleport us into a sea of fire again, or into the ocean."
Everyone immediately laughed.
Scarlett said, "This time I'll find an open space."
After speaking, Scarlett took out her tablet and searched for Miami's longitude and latitude.
Natasha asked in surprise, "Teleportation requires longitude and latitude?"
Scarlett said as a matter of course, "Of course it does.
How else would I pinpoint the location?"
Everyone felt strange.
Isn't it magic?
Why would it involve longitude and latitude?
"Magic and technology are not as clearly distinct as you imagine.
Magic is another form of technology," Scarlett said casually.
Everyone blinked, seemingly impressed.
At the same time, Nick Fury said to Maya Hansen, "Maya Hansen, I need to know everything about Killian and the Extremis."
Maya Hansen nodded: "No problem.
I will tell you everything."
Soon, Scarlett finished pinpointing the location.
Then, in a flash of white light, the Superheroes and most of the unmanned armors disappeared simultaneously, leaving only Maya Hansen and two unmanned armors behind.
What, Scarlett ran off?
What about Tony?
Then he's just going to be left to dry… Heh, don't worry, Scarlett is a very meticulous person.
She hasn't forgotten Tony and is still keeping an eye on him.
If he encounters danger, Scarlett will teleport over immediately.
Spatial magic never cares about distance.
Let's rewind time a bit.
Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark flew one after another to a small island.
When Tony saw Ivan land, his eyes flashed, and he raised his right hand to fire a laser at Ivan.
The reason he hadn't used the laser before was that Tony knew Ivan would surely be prepared, so he had to catch him off guard, like now.
Unfortunately, Tony underestimated Ivan's vigilance towards him.
As soon as he saw Tony raise his hand towards him, Ivan immediately aimed his mechanical fist at Tony.
Then, the mechanical arm exploded, and the mechanical fist, propelled by the force of the explosion, crashed towards Tony at an astonishing speed.
Tony had just released the laser when the mechanical fist slammed into his chest, sending him flying backward to crash against the mountain wall behind him.
With a bang, a large amount of dirt and gravel fell down.
Tony cursed and prepared to extricate himself from the mountain wall.
Just then, an electric whip swung over and wrapped around his arm.
Then, Ivan pulled hard and swung, and Tony slammed heavily onto the ground with a thud.
This wasn't over yet.
Next, the remaining four electric whips swung over, wrapping around Tony's limbs and waist respectively, pulling him open into a large 'X' shape.
"It seems this duel is about to end," Ivan grinned.
The five electric whips' power surged wildly, and the surrounding area was filled with crackling sounds as Tony's Mark Armor rapidly melted.
It's worth mentioning that Tony's system did not become chaotic.
The same trick couldn't be used on him twice; he had installed an anti-interference device on his armor early on.
Although he was in danger, Tony wasn't panicked at all.
He shook his feet, and his two boots detached from his body, flying out to smash hard into Ivan's face.
Ivan couldn't help but take a step back.
This wasn't over yet.
Under the control of the intelligent system, the two boots attacked Ivan like living things.
Ivan hastily handed the left-hand electric whip to his right hand, then he swung his fist to hit Tony's left boot.
Taking this opportunity, Tony controlled his left hand glove to detach from his arm.
Then, the glove flew into mid-air, aiming at Ivan.
The next second, a crimson laser whistled out, piercing Ivan's right chest, leaving a crimson wound.
Ivan looked at Tony in disbelief, the strength draining rapidly from his body, even falling to his knees with a thud.
"I told you, I didn't copy your unmanned armor technology.
Although the idea was indeed yours, the technology is my own," Tony said while controlling the glove to dismantle the electric whip.
"Every part of the Mark Armor can move freely, Ivan, didn't expect that, did you?"
Ivan smiled sadly and said weakly, "I really didn't expect it, Tony. You win."
