The arena was silent.
No one expected things to escalate to this extent.
It was supposed to be just a game, but it turned into a real life-and-death struggle.
Steel Killer Gorden Cutton "died," and the liquid metal wall he had set up collapsed.
A large number of medical personnel rushed onto the field immediately to rescue Gorden Cutton.
But with a fist-sized hole in his abdomen and severely damaged internal organs, how could he be saved?
All the medical personnel shook their heads, sighing with regret.
Human power is limited; even a doctor cannot snatch a soul from the God of Death!
But could Tony Stark be blamed for this?
Everyone with eyes could see that Tony had given Cutton a chance, but Cutton was still hell-bent on killing him.
Even if Tony Stark killed Cutton, it would be legitimate self-defense!
But at this moment, everyone was surprised to find Tony Stark, wearing his Iron Man suit, approaching Cutton.
Under countless high-magnification cameras, everyone saw the Mark armor's mechanical arm open, and Tony took out a syringe from it.
A syringe?
Everyone was puzzled, not understanding what Tony meant.
How could such a wound be saved?
But since it was Tony Stark doing it, everyone held infinite expectations.
Then, under the world live broadcast, everyone was stunned to find that Gorden Cutton, whose abdominal cavity had a fist-sized hole, healed at a visible speed after being injected with this syringe.
Even more terrifying, there wasn't even a scar on the wound!
Oh my God!
At this instant, everyone stood up simultaneously, no matter what they were doing.
What exactly was that syringe Tony injected into Cutton?
Were they all hallucinating?
Cough, cough, cough!
When Gorden Cutton coughed a few times and then reopened his eyes, completely alive again, everyone in the world was incredulous!
God!
Tony Stark actually possessed a "magic potion" that could almost bring people back from death!
His abdomen had such a big "hole," yet he could be saved, without even leaving a scar.
What else could this be if not a "magic potion"?
Rich people, the military, politicians, and hospitals at all levels could not sit still!
Especially pharmaceutical companies—they were practically jumping with anxiety.
Tony Stark had just smashed the rice bowl of arms companies; was he now going to start smashing the rice bowl of pharmaceutical companies?
Tony Stark, are you a devil?
Faced with such a groundbreaking miracle drug, all the reporters present couldn't sit still.
Reporters, smelling blood, ignored the arena ban and swarmed onto the field.
Tony was already the most successful arms dealer, and maximizing profits was naturally his forte.
Sometimes, the more you hide something, the more desperately people want to know.
Facing the swarming reporters, Tony ignored them and immediately piloted his armor, soaring into the sky.
The reporters stomped their feet in frustration, but they were experienced in such matters.
They immediately surrounded Pepper Potts, who had also come to watch the event!
However, they were destined to come up empty-handed.
With Rimuru by Pepper's side, how could they succeed?
Rimuru understood this perfectly and fully supported Tony Stark.
After all, how well the Recovery Potion sold concerned her wealth and happiness!
The frustrated reporters did not give up; sometimes, success or failure depended on the contrast with their peers.
Since everyone was in the same boat, success or failure didn't matter!
Telephones rang non-stop, and major media outlets, reporters stationed in different cities, all moved at the news.
As for the reporters in California, they rushed to Tony Stark's Malibu coast villa immediately.
The item Tony Stark brought out was too sensational; the whole world was boiling with commotion.
At a U.S. military base.
General Lennox had a terrible headache; it hadn't even been half a year since he took over from General Ross, but his hair had already turned largely white.
One must know, he was among the younger faction of generals!
At the beginning of his tenure, he was full of ambition, but now he was facing repeated setbacks, almost completely losing confidence.
At this moment, he even somewhat admired General Ross's tactics.
Chasing Hulk for several years, failing again and again, but never giving up.
Facing doubts and impeachments from all sides, General Ross always stood firm.
Now, Lennox was on the verge of impeachment.
Lennox never expected that the "Steel Killer" he regarded as his trump card would not only be vulnerable but also turn around and use him, attempting to assassinate Tony Stark on the field!
Lennox became the second general, after General Ross, to be completely ridiculed.
WTF!
However, seeing the syringe Tony Stark produced, Lennox felt a turning point had come.
As long as he could secure this syringe for the military, it would be a great achievement—considered atonement for his mistakes.
But at this moment, the phone on his desk rang.
"General, it's bad. Abomination has escaped, and we're almost unable to hold him back. Requesting fire support, requesting fire support!"
"What?"
General Lennox was dumbfounded, hardly believing his ears.
"Soldier, did you say Abomination escaped?"
The place where Abomination was imprisoned was a specially made super prison, almost entirely constructed with special steel plates measured in meters.
He was constantly bound by chains forged from adamantium.
Even then, they weren't reassured, usually injecting him with large amounts of anesthetic so Abomination slept 90% of the time.
How could he have escaped from prison?
April Fool's Day was long over!
"It is Abomination, General. Not only has he escaped, but he also seems to have gotten stronger. God, static—"
There was a busy signal on the phone; no matter how General Lennox called, the soldier on the other end gave no response.
Through the phone, he heard Abomination's roar instead.
"Is this what power feels like? Great, it's truly great!"
"Endless, I've never felt this good. Hulk—Hulk, where are you?"
"Is there no one who can fight? Give me a stronger opponent!"
Boom!
After a loud bang, General Lennox completely lost contact with the prison where Abomination was held.
"God!"
Lennox's lips trembled; he knew his political career was over!
If Abomination broke out, there would definitely be bloodshed.
No matter what, he would be the one to take the fall, facing a military court and prison!
But as a general, facing battle, he could not escape no matter what—this was his mission and responsibility as a general!
Ten minutes later.
General Chris Lennox, dressed in military uniform, boarded the helicopter heading to the prison to apprehend Abomination.
