Accompanied by the sound of colliding metal, Iron Man, wearing a suit with Kurohane's color scheme, descended from the sky! His armor melted onto Tony's body like flowing water, finally hiding completely in his chest. Thanks to the local technology that Kurohane had brought from the future, Tony's technology level had skyrocketed. Coupled with the technology data from the Skrulls, his nano armor was now even better than the one he would have made in the future.
As soon as he entered Stark Tower, Tony saw Kurohane and his two uninvited guests. Pietro immediately raised his camera and aimed it at the displeased Tony. Wanda held her coffee cup, hiding her expression. Only Kurohane waved at Tony with a mischievous smile, as if he was waiting for the show to begin.
Tony frowned. 'People who can use magic are incredible, I should make a magic armor someday! Are those two people next to Kurohane the ones he saved from HYDRA? These three have been here waiting for the show, and there are no traces of battle on them. They probably even had time to shower and change, how annoying!'
Just as Tony was thinking of driving the three spectators away, Pepper and Aldrich Killian came out of the reception room and ran into him. But Tony didn't know that behind him was someone he absolutely didn't want to see: Dr. Maya Hansen, the female scientist who researched the Extremis Virus and once had a brief relationship with Tony!
Kurohane smirked. "Oh, oh, oh! This is a true love triangle! This plot, which didn't appear in the movie, is very interesting!" He had already used his Super Vision ability to see through the walls, confirming the positions of the other 'actors.' If Pepper and Killian weren't here, he wouldn't have wasted his time. The only thing he hadn't expected was that Maya also showed up.
The relationship between these four people was complicated, difficult to explain in a few words. To explain it, Kurohane directly used Telepathy, linking with the twins' minds to describe this hellish love triangle in detail. As a result, the twins' eyes lit up even more. This was the first time they felt that the faces on television could also have real emotions, like actual people. The Angel who seemed calm was actually a gossip. The playboy billionaire turned out to be a jealous, petty man. The big company CEO didn't date very often. And the scientist in the suit... turned out to be a terrorist from the Ten Rings?
"Huh?! A terrorist?!"
"Of course they're terrorists!" Kurohane's voice immediately echoed in their minds. "They've just borrowed the name of the Ten Rings. The real Ten Rings is an Eastern underground force, an organization that has existed for thousands of years. Their leader, Xu Wenwu, is immortal because he possesses the Ten Rings artifact. His son should be studying in America right now, maybe there'll be a chance to see him in the future." Kurohane was talking about the plot of the Shang-Chi movie.
"A bit off-topic, let's get back to the point." Kurohane used his Telepathy ability to read the memories of everyone in the Stark Tower lobby. As he had guessed, he found an Extremis soldier that Killian had brought. The Extremis Virus in his body was very unstable. His body temperature was rising, it seemed he was about to explode!
"See that bald man sitting on the sofa across from us? He's about to blow himself up. Pietro, you have to rely on your speed to move everyone within the blast radius, can you do it?"
"Is he carrying a bomb?"
"He is the bomb."
Pietro was shocked. 'There are people whose superpower is to turn themselves into a bomb?'
"Wanda, the task of limiting his blast energy is up to you. Do it wisely."
"I can't, I just fully awakened my superpower two hours ago!"
"Just do it, you can definitely do it."
"Alright..."
Kurohane didn't tell Wanda that he would help her, because that might affect her performance. Don't be mistaken, even though the current Wanda seemed to have just awakened her Chaos Magic, the energy she controlled was no weaker than when she was in Avengers: Infinity War. The Super Soldier Serum and Holy Energy had reinforced her body, so her mental power was higher. Plus, when he helped them awaken their superpowers, Kurohane had directly guided the energy from the Mind Stone into their bodies. The utilization rate was almost one hundred percent, making their powers far exceed the Avengers: Age of Ultron versions. For example, Pietro was now faster than Quicksilver in X-Men: Apocalypse. If he went to the Mutant school to save people, he could even get Havok out unharmed.
This self-detonating Extremis soldier was a talent show stage that Kurohane had prepared for the twins. It would prove that they had powerful superpowers and at the same time convince the Avengers that they weren't bad people. Kurohane might not be staying on Earth for a long time. If Wanda and Pietro didn't want to operate in this universe, then they had to have friends on Earth, like the Avengers, or retire under the wing of The Ancient One.
Killian looked impressive with his chest tattoos and a high-temperature hand blade that could cut through armor. He even had pants that wouldn't burn when his body temperature reached a thousand degrees. But in front of Kurohane, he was nothing. Kurohane could even find a Valkyrie from Heaven or summon Kaecilius again, and Killian wouldn't be their match. So Kurohane wouldn't waste time talking to him, he would finish him here!
Kurohane didn't know if Tony's nano armor could withstand a high-temperature hand blade, but it wasn't a big deal. Tony could come back to life even if he died, and losing an arm or a leg was just a minor injury. He wouldn't tell Wanda and the others that Killian was also very dangerous. It was a small test, and also a chance to see how they reacted in the field.
Tony was completely caught up in the love triangle drama. They were already prepared to escalate from verbal communication to physical conflict. But Killian wasn't ready to reveal his identity yet. His goal today was to make trouble for Tony, so he needed an opportunity to escape! He secretly signaled to the bald guy, who immediately stood up from the sofa. Red light appeared on his neck and face, and he walked toward Tony and the others.
