Plak!
Killian's precise punch was caught by Kurohane, who clenched his fist and squeezed it hard. The bones in his fist shattered. Even before Killian could scream, Kurohane directly snatched his fist and threw him out of Stark Tower!
Bang!
Killian's body directly pierced through the tempered glass of the window, drawing a perfect arc before falling into the pool. But... Kurohane was still holding Killian's limp hand, which was glowing with a reddish light! Before the hand could explode, Kurohane threw it into the Mirror Dimension. He stretched his limbs, preparing for the long-awaited close combat, but he looked at his new suit and shoes.
"Tony, do you want to beat up that guy?"
"Please, with pleasure! As a sign of gratitude, I won't ask you to pay for that glass wall!" Tony was very understanding. He knew the look in Kurohane's eyes just now. He was just afraid of getting his clothes dirty. But since there was a chance to beat up a love rival, Tony wouldn't let it go!
"Deal!" Kurohane shook Tony's hand, then threw him out as well, but this time he used gentle force. Tony completed his transformation in mid-air, donning his Iron Man Suit, and shot toward the pool near the door.
"Kurohane! What did Killian do? Why are you treating him like this?!" Pepper really didn't understand what Kurohane and Tony were doing. Wasn't this just a matter of relationships and investments? How could it turn into a life-and-death fight?
Kurohane, on the other hand, looked at the confused Dr. Maya and smiled. "Dr. Maya, is there anything you'd like to say?"
"I... I have nothing to say." Dr. Maya's expression quickly changed from confused to guilty, and she wanted to run away. But her arm was caught by Pepper. Pepper was the CEO of the Stark Group, so her eyesight was much better. This ex-girlfriend of Tony's must be a problem, and she couldn't be allowed to leave!
"Dr. Maya, if the Extremis Virus you researched could eliminate the side effects, it would certainly be a great discovery. In fact, Tony has already decided to invest in you and participate in the research. He also wants to heal the wound on his chest. But unfortunately, Killian is a madman."
"A madman? Crazy what?" Pepper was confused. Kurohane had never cursed before, but now he was calling someone 'crazy'.
"This morning's news, you didn't see it, did you?" Kurohane took out his phone and opened a webpage. The headline was about the actions of the Ten Rings terrorists. "Including the bald guy who just blew himself up, they are all subjects of your Extremis Virus experiment, aren't they? What stage is your experiment at now? Have you contacted the Vice President? Can you guarantee you can heal his daughter's leg?"
"How do you know all that?" Dr. Maya's face was full of shock. Kurohane was like a devil, he knew every terrifying thing in her heart. And Kurohane didn't use Telepathy this time, it was purely information he had gotten from the movie in his previous life.
Clang! A slightly damaged Iron Man Suit fell. Tony didn't seem to be winning the close-combat fight! Even with the suit's enhancements, he couldn't win. The combat power limit of an Extremis soldier was at least on par with a Super Soldier. They could fight one-on-one with Captain America!
Tony struggled on the street, his armor's lights flickering, and it took him a while to get back up. In the pool, Killian tore off his shirt and walked out barefoot. His upper body was bare, radiating a reddish light. Two black dragon tattoos on his chest looked alive, and his entire body emitted a terrifying high temperature, boiling the water in the pool. But Kurohane's attention was always on his pants, which didn't burn at all! Kurohane thought about how valuable the material of those pants must be. Its technological value alone was more than Tony's entire Iron Man Suit!
"Need some help, Tony?"
"No! If you help, it won't be my turn to perform!" Tony wasn't stupid. The damage to the suit could be repaired by the nanobots in his chest. If he couldn't win in close combat, he would switch to long-range attacks. He had already modified his suit for the potential enemies he might encounter. Although Killian's body temperature could cut through steel, and his strength far surpassed that of an ordinary person, he was definitely no match for the weapons and equipment in the Iron Man Suit!
"Then I'll just wait and watch your performance, don't embarrass yourself!" Kurohane already knew Killian's combat abilities. As long as Tony didn't fight him in close combat, it would be a total victory. However, he quietly used his Telepathy ability to tell Wanda and Pietro to pay attention to protecting civilians. This was their stage to perform, and they had to seize the opportunity.
"Oh, by the way, Tony, contact Rhodey, Killian's subordinate is also attacking him, and the final target is the President."
"Huh?!" Tony fought with Killian while also calling Rhodey. It turned out that Rhodey was being attacked while on a mission and was trapped inside his Iron Patriot Suit. If it weren't for Tony's call, he might still be unconscious! Because of the distraction, Tony lost and was hit by Killian again, a large portion of his faceplate was destroyed. With his other hand, Killian grabbed Tony's arm, and the high temperature instantly tore through the armor.
Wanda, who was watching from the doorway, couldn't take it anymore. Chaos Magic appeared. She immediately controlled Killian. She hung him in mid-air. No matter how Killian struggled, it was useless!
"Mr. Stark, it seems you need a little help." Wanda, wearing her red dress, with her hands glowing red, slowly walked out from the doorway. She looked so confident and beautiful that it almost made Tony's heart pound. However, a gust of wind passed by, and Pietro appeared out of nowhere, standing next to Wanda and looking at Tony with sympathy!
Ding!
A pure white sword light shot through the air and suddenly pierced through Killian's chest. The six wings on Kurohane's back flapped slightly, and he instantly appeared next to Killian, clutching his Holy Sword.
"Tell me," Kurohane whispered, "do you want to go to Heaven or Hell?"
