Ch: 143-153
Chapter 143: The Abducted Phoenix Woman
"Professor,"
Looking at the hesitant Professor.
Phoenix Woman appeared to be a little anxious.
After all, this concerned the Phoenix Force within her body.
Although this power was strong—limitlessly strong.
The feeling of not being in control, and the possibility that a single oversight could destroy the entire Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters and kill everyone here.
Phoenix sometimes felt constant worry in her heart.
"Jean,"
Looking at Jean's worried expression.
Cyclops, who had been standing aside listening, suddenly felt as if he were about to lose something.
"Cyclops, this is my decision,"
At this time, their relationship hadn't reached that intimate stage yet.
Most importantly, Zhao Yu's previous kiss had left a deep impression on Phoenix Woman's heart.
This caused Zhao Yu to leave a particularly deep impression in Phoenix Woman's heart.
"Mr. Stark, I have a request that might be a bit excessive,"
Recalling the strength the Cuckoo Sisters had just unleashed.
And the sense of deterrence given by those kings battle soul.
Especially King Arthur.
The divine power erupting from his body.
This led the Professor to see a way to help Phoenix Woman Jean restrain the Phoenix Force within her through Zhao Yu.
"Professor, you want me to help her restrain and tame the power inside Phoenix Woman, right?"
Without waiting for the Professor to finish, Zhao Yu directly stated the intention.
"That power of hers, I've seen how dangerous it is,"
Zhao Yu's gaze turned toward Phoenix Woman once more.
Last time he had messed around, he almost provoked Phoenix Woman into unleashing the Phoenix Force.
If he were to erupt with full power, he possessed the strength to destroy this Planet's civilization.
But a Phoenix Woman erupting with the full Phoenix Force possessed the power to easily destroy the entire Planet.
"Precisely because of that, I must entrust this to Mr. Stark."
The Professor understood Zhao Yu's concerns.
It was for this reason that he so desperately hoped Zhao Yu would have a way to help Phoenix Woman suppress the Phoenix Force within her, and it would be even better if she could master it in the process.
"My method might be a bit special,"
"I don't have a problem with it,"
"But it will depend on whether Miss Jean is willing when the time comes,"
Looking at the Professor who was repeatedly pleading.
Zhao Yu shrugged helplessly.
You're practically rushing to deliver the choice meat to my mouth.
Of course, all of this had been planned by Zhao Yu in advance.
Phoenix Woman.
Once she fully controlled the power within her.
Then the single universe level would be within her grasp.
Having a single universe level woman—not to mention how much prestige that would bring.
The most important thing was, how much Emotional Value could a single universe level person provide Zhao Yu at one time?
200, 300, or 500?
Currently, the strongest people Zhao Yu had encountered were Skyfather level, and they could provide him with 100 points of Emotional Value each time.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Stark,"
Seeing Zhao Yu finally nod.
A slight smile appeared on the Professor's face.
But looking at the completely destroyed Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters before him.
The smile on the Professor's face froze in place.
Where were they going to stay tonight?
"Don't worry, I'll help you resolve your food, clothing, and housing for the near future."
Seeing the Professor's smile turn into a daze.
Zhao Yu quickly realized why the Professor had that expression.
Therefore, Zhao Yu patted his chest and gave a guarantee.
"Rest assured, tonight you will definitely have warm beds to sleep in and comfortable, delicious food to taste."
"I swear it on my name as a Stark,"
Zhao Yu even made a promise right then and there.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Stark,"
"Ding! Gratitude from the Professor, Emotional Value +50,"
Looking at the smiling old man before him.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but secretly condemn himself.
Was he taking things a bit too far?
But after looking at the Emotional Value which had already reached several thousand.
The guilt in Zhao Yu's heart was completely swept away.
He even started thinking.
If he had acted a bit more wickedly just now.
Would he have gained even more Emotional Value?
"Miss Jean, I'll have to trouble you to stay by my side for the time being,"
"Suppressing the Phoenix Force in your body is a bit troublesome,"
"If there's anything offensive later, please bear with me, Miss Jean,"
Before leaving Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
Looking at Phoenix Woman who had followed him, ready to leave Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsterswith him.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but give a few instructions.
"Of course,"
"For being able to help me suppress the Phoenix Force in my body,"
"I am already very grateful to you, Mr. Stark,"
"As for any possible conflicts or offensive moments,"
"I believe in your character, Mr. Stark. You are a good person,"
Facing Zhao Yu, who was giving instructions with a worried expression.
Looking at this exceptionally handsome man.
Phoenix Woman's mind couldn't help but recall that time on the deserted island.
Zhao Yu's irresistible kiss.
At this moment, Phoenix Woman's face instantly flushed red.
Thinking that her first kiss had already been taken by this man.
Then what was there to mind about being 'offensive' later?
Could this 'offense' be more important than a first kiss?
"That's good, that's good,"
At this moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Yu's face.
In a day, Phoenix Woman would regret today's words.
First kiss?
Heh heh.
The 'offense' that man spoke of was not as simple as a first kiss.
"Then Professor, I'll take my leave first,"
"Don't worry, in a little while, supplies from Stark Industries will be transported over continuously,"
"Everyone will have to work hard tonight, there might be a small problem."
"But I think for all of you, this small problem shouldn't be an issue,"
As the light of the teleportation once again enveloped the bodies of Zhao Yu, the Cuckoo Sisters, and Phoenix Woman.
Before leaving.
Zhao Yu suddenly gave a few more instructions with a serious expression.
"Alright,"
At this moment, Professor X suddenly had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap.
Was the'small problem' Zhao Yu mentioned really just a small problem?
He hoped it really was just a small problem.
Buzz, buzz.
"Teleport,"
At this moment, milky-white light instantly wrapped around Zhao Yu, the Cuckoo Sisters, PhoenixWoman, and the others.
As Zhao Yu softly chanted 'teleport'.
These milky-white halos burst into a dazzling light.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yu and the others' figures vanished directly from before Professor X.
"What a miraculous ability."
Chapter 144: Your Mission Is to Make Me Fall in Love with You, Phoenix's Phoenix Force.
"The female CEO and her male subordinate,"
"The domineering female president's exclusive little driver,"
"What should I do if I fall in love with my subordinate?"
As the sky gradually darkened.
Inside the three-story luxury Villa that Zhao Yu had temporarily bought.
At this moment, Phoenix Woman Jean was sleeping on the second floor of the Villa.
She was wearing a pink, sexy nightgown.
Her slender, long legs were as smooth and white as ivory.
It was already one o'clock in the morning.
Under normal circumstances, Phoenix Woman Jean would have already entered a sweet dreamland.
But at this moment, Phoenix Woman Jean, wearing that pink nightgown, was tossing and turning on the luxurious large bed.
Was it because Phoenix Woman Jean had left Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters and was suffering from insomnia?
No, no, no.
It was because on the third floor of the Villa.
In the master bedroom, which occupied the largest area of the entire Villa.
In that master bedroom of nearly 100 square meters.
On that luxurious large bed.
Zhao Yu was engaging in a scenario activity called role-playing with the Cuckoo Sisters.
Earlier today at Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters, Zhao Yu had made a small bet with the Cuckoo Sisters.
That was whether the three sisters could destroy Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters within one minute.
If they couldn't, then tonight Zhao Yu would give them a good lesson.
If they could destroy it in one minute, tonight the Cuckoo Sisters would give Zhao Yu a good lesson.
And the result was very obvious.
The Cuckoo Sisters' kings battle soul combined ultimate technique, Thunder Slash,
Successfully, despite the protection of Professor X, the X-Men, and all the students of Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters,
They managed to destroy Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters within one minute.
Therefore, this night was a night of victorious celebration for the Cuckoo Sisters.
The Cuckoo Sisters were happy.
Phoenix Woman Jean, living downstairs, was unable to sleep all night.
"Ding-dong, from Professor X's speechlessness, Emotional Value +50,"
"Ding-dong, from Cyclops's speechlessness, Emotional Value +15,"
"Ding-dong, from Pyro's anger, Emotional Value +10,"
At the same time, throughout the night, Emotional Value from Xaviers School for Gifted Youngstersnever stopped flowing into Zhao Yu's mind.
Shifting the perspective to Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
At this moment, in the ruins of Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
After the debris of the collapsed buildings was cleared, leaving a large open space.
Emergency supplies from Stark Industries were quickly brought over.
When many students and teachers of the academy worked together to unload the supplies sent by Stark Industries from the trucks.
When they opened the supplies with joy.
Tents, sleeping bags.
Daily necessities.
Even food packaging bags.
On every item related to their daily life.
Zhao Yu's huge portrait was actually printed on them.
Whether it was a single tent, a double tent, or a four-person tent.
On the front, back, left, and right of the tents, there was a full-body photo of Zhao Yu with a smiling face.
On the surface of the sleeping bags were life-sized photos of Zhao Yu.
In other words, when they opened their eyes, all they saw was Zhao Yu's brilliant smile.
Looking at these relief supplies all printed with Zhao Yu's photos.
Professor X was stunned.
The X-Men were stunned.
The students of Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters were also stunned.
To what extent must a person be narcissistic to dare to print their own photos on so many things?
Most importantly, the ones suffering were the students of Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
Zhao Yu's photo was on the bedsheets they slept on.
Zhao Yu's photo was also seen in the bowls they ate from.
Can you imagine?
When they were almost finished eating, and a spoon dug to the bottom of the bowl, Zhao Yu's headshot with a brilliant smile was revealed as the spoon stirred.
What kind of feeling was that?
Anyway, looking at the continuously rising Emotional Value.
Zhao Yu knew that those students' emotions were definitely not good.
"Morning,"
"Beautiful lady, it seems you didn't rest well last night,"
Early the next morning, Zhao Yu, who was like an oppressed slave finally standing up and singing,
He also had a good discussion with the Cuckoo Sisters this morning about the grievances and frustrations he had bottled up last night.
When the time reached 9:00 AM.
Zhao Yu, who had leisurely gotten out of bed, arrived in the living room of the Villa with a smile, surrounded by the Cuckoo Sisters.
In the living room at this time.
Phoenix Woman Jean, wearing a cream-white long dress, had already been sitting there.
Taking a closer look at Phoenix's current state.
A hint of fatigue was clearly visible.
"Hmph,"
Looking at the energetic Zhao Yu, with excitement from his recent triumph in his eyes.
And the Cuckoo Sisters behind him, who were also glowing with health.
Phoenix couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
Man, your stamina is just too good.
You were making a fuss until about 3 o'clock last night.
And at six or seven in the morning, you started fooling around again.
You only slept for three or four hours in one night.
Can your body handle it?
Four Emperors Beast Kaido said, "What does this amount to?"
"Are you looking down on me, on the physique of the Strongest creature in the sea, land, and air?"
"Even if I fought for ten days and ten nights, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue."
"Mr. Stark,"
"There's something I'd like to ask for advice on,"
As the Cuckoo Sisters went to the kitchen to prepare Zhao Yu's breakfast—no, actually, it was unclear if it was breakfast, lunch, or morning tea.
As Zhao Yu also sat down on the living room sofa.
Phoenix Woman Jean, sitting on the other side of the sofa, was looking at Zhao Yu with a bit of anxiety at this moment.
After all, this was about whether she could control the Phoenix Force within her body.
"Are you trying to say, how can I let you control the Phoenix Force inside you?"
Sitting on the soft sofa.
Looking at Phoenix, whose expression carried a hint of anxiety.
Although Phoenix didn't explain in detail.
Zhao Yu also knew the words she was about to say.
Didn't Phoenix come from Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters to his Villa just because she wanted to get a solution for the Phoenix Force from Zhao Yu?
"Yes,"
"Please, Mr. Stark, share your knowledge generously."
At this moment, Phoenix's posture was dignified and her expression was serious.
"To obtain this method, one thing must be accomplished first,"
After pondering for a moment.
Zhao Yu suddenly brought up another topic.
"What thing?"
Phoenix seemed a little anxious.
It's already at this point and in this situation, and you're still changing the subject.
"That is, you must do everything in your power to make me fall in love with you,"
"Only by fulfilling this prerequisite can you truly obtain the method to control the Phoenix Force within your body,"
Under the watchful eyes of the puzzled Phoenix Woman Jean.
Zhao Yu stated this prerequisite.
Making himself fall in love with her—that was the prerequisite for mastering the Phoenix Force.
Chapter 145: Thunder Pierces the Darkness, Magneto Makes His Appearance.
"Make me try everything I can to make you fall in love with me?"
At this moment, Phoenix's mind was completely dazed.
What kind of question was this?
Could it be that the prerequisite for controlling the Phoenix Force within my body is to fall in love with you?
Could it be that you have some kind of grudge or love-hate relationship with the Phoenix Force inside me?
At this moment, Phoenix was also speechless.
How could there be such an absurd treatment method in this World?
"It is a matter of course,"
"Otherwise, how do you think they controlled the power within their own bodies?"
"Esme, Phoebe, Sophie,"
"Do you think I love you?"
He even did this to verify that what he said was not false.
Zhao Yu sat directly on the sofa in the living room, turned his head, and shouted loudly to the three women in the open kitchen not far away.
"Of course you do, dear,"
The three sisters responded simultaneously without hesitation.
"My method is a bit special,"
"I already said it before when we were at Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters."
"This method won't necessarily succeed, and it also has its own unique nature."
"Whether it can succeed or not can only depend on you,"
Zhao Yu even emphasized the words he had spoken back at Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
The conditions were a bit special.
Success was not 100% guaranteed.
It all depended on whether there was a fated connection between them.
"This..."
To be honest, Phoenix was also stunned.
She had never faced such a choice in her entire life.
To exhaust all means to make a man fall in love with her.
Wasn't this just asking her to seduce this man?
"This..."
She thought of herself wearing a set of sexy clothes, her face full of Charm, and then seducing a man there.
Thinking of this, Phoenix Woman Jean only felt goosebumps rising all over her body.
"Keep it up, young lady,"
"I have high hopes for you,"
He looked the young woman in front of him up and down,
A standard Western beauty with blonde hair, blue eyes, and wavy hair.
Fair skin, a graceful figure, and long, slender legs—these were already their standard features.
What was rare and precious was that Phoenix possessed a special Charm that other women did not have.
"Hmph, in your dreams."
Phoenix also gave a fierce cold snort here.
But as for what specific thoughts she had in her heart, only she herself knew.
"Hahaha,"
Looking at the duplicitous Phoenix,
Zhao Yu also directly burst into loud laughter.
"Then let's see if you truly have the Charm to make me kneel beneath your white dress,"
At this moment, a rare look of interest appeared on Zhao Yu's face.
"Metal serves my use, magnetism obeys my command,"
"I am Polaris,"
"Who are you? How dare you block my path,"
Meanwhile, on a relatively quiet road in New York City.
Polaris, driving a luxury car, looked at the men who had suddenly appeared in front of her car and blocked her way.
Without the slightest bit of cowardice,
Polaris stepped out of the luxury car and then spoke out to rebuke the two men in front of her.
"Are you Polaris?"
"You're quite pretty,"
"Our boss is looking for you,"
Looking at Polaris as she stepped out of the luxury car,
Between the two men, one had eyes that looked a bit sharp.
There were even some spots on his body.
After sizing Polaris up and down, he then spoke the words for Polaris to come with them.
"Your boss?"
"Who does he think he is?"
Although these two men in front of her looked like they weren't to be trifled with,
Was she, Polaris, someone easily messed with?
"Woman, you shouldn't be too arrogant,"
"It seems you haven't witnessed our power yet,"
Seeing Polaris's heartless refusal,
The man with spots on his face walked directly forward and came before Polaris.
He reached out his right hand,
*Shink*,
Several bone spurs, like those of a hedgehog, instantly protruded from the palm of his right hand.
Toying with these hedgehog-like bone spurs in his hand,
Hedgehog Man approached Polaris with an arrogant expression and said,
"Woman, have you seen my power now?"
"Be obedient, and I might go a little easier on you,"
"Otherwise, you will learn that there are things in this World that cannot be solved by money,"
While fiddling with the sharp bone spurs in his palm,
Hedgehog Man also threatened Polaris with an arrogant look.
"Trash,"
Looking at this mere level two Mutant who actually dared to flaunt his clumsy Mutant ability in front of her.
Not to mention the Polaris who had already undergone the baptism of the kings battle soul.
Even without the kings battle soul power bestowed by Zhao Yu,
With Polaris's innate Magnetic Control, dealing with a Hedgehog Man would be as easy as turning over her hand.
"In that case, let me show you the power I just obtained,"
"Metal serves my use, magnetism obeys my command,"
"I am Polaris,"
Just as Hedgehog Man was looking at this delicate beauty with a face full of confusion.
Seeing that when she witnessed his fierce side, not only did she not have the slightest bit of cowardice, but she was even full of disdain.
Right at that moment, a bolt of purple thunder suddenly struck down from the sky.
*Boom boom*,
Hedgehog Man, who was close at hand, was directly blasted flying away.
Also blasted away was another member of the Brotherhood who had come with Hedgehog Man.
*Crackle crackle*,
"What is going on here?"
His entire body was in excruciating pain, and there were even several wounds caused by the thunder's electric shock.
Hedgehog Man, who had been heavily blasted away by the Lightning Power,
After being knocked back dozens of meters, he barely managed to stand up, his eyes looking in horror at the place where Polaris had just been standing.
"This is?"
As the dust and debris kicked up by the lightning strike dissipated,
Polaris appeared once again in front of Hedgehog Man.
Purple Lightning Power surrounded Polaris's tall figure.
Several sharp steel needles circled around Polaris.
At this moment, she had become the master of thunder and magnetism.
The invincible Electromagnetic Queen, Polaris.
"This is?"
This magnificent scene instantly stunned the Hedgehog Man who was struggling to stand up.
At this moment, he only felt what a great humiliation it was.
He had actually flaunted his lowly level two Mutant ability in front of this woman.
He estimated that in Polaris's heart, he had become a Joker.
*Clap clap*,
"As expected of my daughter,"
"Your talent makes me, your father, feel extremely shocked."
"Come, daughter, stand by your father's side,"
"Father needs your power, and the Mutants need your power,"
Chapter 146: Duel Between Father and Daughter, Magneto vs. Polaris
Just then, at the other end of the street, a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a helmet walked over from the end of the road.
As the man moved, the steel on both sides of the street seemed to be summoned by a force, all floating behind him.
At this moment, he became the King of Magnetism, Magneto, surrounded by a multitude of steel.
"Magneto,"
"Father,"
The combination of these two words was undoubtedly ironic to Polaris.
As an illegitimate daughter, she had never felt what paternal love was.
"Magneto, state your purpose."
"I don't believe you came looking for me this time just to acknowledge me as your daughter."
Her tone was filled with mockery.
Polaris had entered the Sikong Zhen kings battle soul form.
Facing Magneto, one of the few top powerhouses among Mutants.
At this moment, Polaris didn't show the slightest bit of cowardice.
"Great courage,"
"Your strength is also a bit beyond my expectations."
"My daughter, I heard you have already joined Stark Industries, right?"
"Mutants need your power now."
As the leader of the hardline Mutants, Magneto's style of action was quite decisive.
In his view, small talk was undoubtedly a waste of time.
Suppressing everything with absolute strength to get what he wanted—that was his way of doing things.
"Stark Industries?"
"Heh, as expected."
"Originally, I thought you really cared about our father-daughter relationship."
"You've set your sights on the wealth and power of Stark Industries."
Upon hearing Magneto mention Stark Industries.
An 'as I thought' expression appeared on Polaris's face.
"Everything is for the Mutants,"
"You are also a member of the Mutant race."
"Don't you want to see this World belong to us Mutants?"
Magneto didn't react at all to his daughter's mockery.
He even continued to spout that rhetoric about everything being for the Mutants.
"Then it's a pity."
"Stark Industries currently has no intention of cooperating with Mutants."
For the current Polaris, she was very satisfied with her life.
A stable, steady, and luxurious life.
A handsome and strong man.
Even though that man was a playboy.
As long as he was strong enough, it was fine.
"Cooperation? I never said anything about cooperation,"
"What I need is submission,"
"I want Stark Industries to kneel at my feet."
Upon hearing the word 'cooperation', Magneto's first reaction was disdain.
Although through some news media reports.
He also roughly knew the strength of the legendary man, Zhao Yu.
But who was he?
He was the famous Magneto.
A man who could even rely on his own power to subvert the entire Planet's magnetic field.
A man who could destroy the entire World.
He believed his strength was not below Zhao Yu's.
Coupled with the huge number of Mutants in the Brotherhood he now controlled.
How could a mere commercial group like Stark Industries be a match for him, Magneto?
"However, what surprises me slightly is,"
"Your talent and strength are indeed a bit beyond my expectations."
Magneto once again focused his gaze on his so-called daughter.
Previously, the only person in Stark Industries that Magneto slightly valued was Zhao Yu.
He didn't expect that the strength his daughter Polaris displayed today would give him a bit of a pleasant surprise.
"Join my team,"
"Help me take control of Stark Industries,"
"Let this World become a World for us Mutants,"
"We are the pioneers of the World's evolution."
Magneto extended his right hand in invitation toward his daughter, Polaris.
"I'm very sorry, I have no desire to enter that kennel of yours,"
"Most importantly, why would I leave a team destined for victory to join your team destined for failure?"
Polaris refused directly without any mercy.
Was she not living comfortably here?
Why join a team destined for failure?
Indeed, in Polaris's view, if Magneto took the initiative to provoke Zhao Yu, there would be only one outcome: failure.
Since she knew he would fail, why would she join a team destined for failure?
"Destined for victory, destined for failure?"
"It seems you haven't witnessed your father's strength?"
The words 'destined for failure' were incredibly ironic to Magneto.
He was Magneto; how could a term like 'destined for failure' ever apply to him?
"Then let your father see how 'destined for failure' could possibly be used on me."
A somewhat angry Magneto made his move.
His right hand, which had been extended to Polaris in a gesture of friendship, changed as he activated his ability.
It became a display of magnetic control.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!*
Countless pieces of steel on both sides of the street instantly twisted and deformed under the pull of a mysterious force.
Sharp spears instantly floated behind Magneto.
A hundred spears flew through the air.
When the sunlight hit the spears, they even reflected a cold, chilling light.
There was no doubt.
The sharpness of these spears could easily pierce through the flesh and blood of an ordinary person in an instant.
"Now, I'll let you choose once more,"
"Submission or destruction."
Magneto manipulated nearly a hundred steel spears to float in the sky above his head.
His raised right hand remained in its elevated position.
It seemed that if Magneto just slightly waved a finger,
These sharp spears could instantly fire all at once and pierce through Polaris's body.
She would perish in an instant.
"Submission?"
"You aren't qualified enough."
"Since that's the case, I'll also let you witness this power I've inherited,"
"Thunder, heed my command! Magnetism, under my control!"
"I am Polaris, the Queen of Thunder and Magnetism!"
Following Polaris's roar.
The clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky as countless purple bolts of lightning circled above.
At the same time, a portion of the steel being manipulated by Magneto actually broke free from his control.
Then, these pieces of steel were also twisted by a peculiar force, turning into sharp longswords.
*Boom, boom!*
As the nearly hundred longswords were successfully twisted, coiled, and shaped.
The lightning in the sky seemed to find a home.
The lightning struck down from high above, accurately coiling around these longswords.
In an instant, what were originally just ordinary steel swords were now all wrapped in purple Lightning Power.
"Have you heard of a Railgun?"
"Well, today you can experience the 'Ten Thousand Arrows' of electromagnetic flying swords."
With the fusion of thunder and magnetism.
At this moment, the aura Polaris displayed was even above that of Magneto.
Chapter 147: Magneto Captured, The Avengers' Designs on Zhao Yu.
"This?"
"What kind of power is this?"
Looking at both sides, they seemed like gods; especially Polaris, whose nearly one hundred longswords were entwined with purple Lightning Power.
Hedgehog Man, having barely managed to get up, hid to the side.
He watched as any random spear or sword could easily take his life.
He thought back to how he had arrogantly bared his spikes in front of Polaris earlier.
"Is this what they call overestimating oneself?"
"Or is it called overconfidence?"
At this moment, for the first time, Hedgehog Man felt that when confidence goes too far, it creates another emotion: shame.
"You..."
The fierce battle lasted for half a quarter-hour.
In the midst of the fight, Magneto turned his head with a look of utter disbelief.
Unbeknownst to him, Polaris, who should have been in front of him, appeared behind him at that moment.
Simultaneously, a longsword entwined with Lightning Power was placed lightly against Magneto's neck.
Magneto tried to use his magnetic force to interfere with the sword.
As his power surged, Magneto discovered that this sword, wrapped in Lightning Power, could not be moved by his abilities at all.
"My dear father, it seems you've lost,"
The right hand holding the sword applied slight pressure.
The sharp blade directly pierced the skin of Magneto's neck.
The Lightning Power attached to the sword surged directly through the pierced wound into Magneto's body.
*Pfft pfft!*
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, Magneto felt a wave of numbness spread throughout his body.
The continuous surge of electric current made his body shake uncontrollably, like someone having a seizure.
"I've captured a big fish,"
Looking at Magneto, who was paralyzed by her Lightning Power,
A faint smile appeared on Polaris's beautiful face.
"You... you... where do you want to take our boss?"
His former confidence and pride were completely crushed.
Seeing Magneto paralyzed by the electricity, Hedgehog Man showed a rare moment of loyalty to his master.
Even though he knew he was no match for Polaris,
Hedgehog Man endured the fear in his heart, struggled to his feet, and blocked Polaris's path.
"Trash strength, excessive confidence,"
"Yet, a rare loyal dog protecting its master."
Regarding this little hedgehog who dared to stand in her way,
With Polaris's current strength, she could solve him with a simple wave of her hand.
However, seeing his rare loyalty,
Polaris chose not to strike.
At the same time, she needed a living person to spread the news that Magneto had been captured by her.
"To Stark Industries, of course,"
"One of the two great leaders of the Mutants, Magneto,"
"Has been captured alive by our Stark Industries."
"If this news gets out, our Stark Industries will surely gain a lot of prestige again, won't it?"
It seemed the legendary, notoriously wicked, and fearsome Magneto,
In the eyes of Stark Industries, was merely an opportunity to show their face to the World.
"You..."
At this moment, Hedgehog Man panicked.
But seeing those spears and swords on the ground, which should have been shattered by the aftershocks of the battle, floating up once again,
Facing these spears and sharp swords pointed at him from a distance,
Hedgehog Man was truly terrified.
He could only watch helplessly as his boss, Magneto, supported by countless spears and swords, followed Polaris out of the alleyway.
"The legendary leader of the Mutants, Magneto... actually lost just like that?"
"That woman called Polaris, I remember her ability was only Magnetic Control; what's with this Lightning Power?"
As Polaris used the post-battle spears and swords to carry Magneto away,
The aftershocks of the battle here had already attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. used high-definition satellites to aim their cameras at this location,
They saw the two people who had been fighting in the quiet alley.
One was the rumored one of the two great leaders of the Mutants, Magneto.
The other was Polaris, one of the recently famous spokespersons for the Stark Group Corporate Image Department.
Magneto's exquisite control over magnetic force had already left the people at S.H.I.E.L.D. in awe.
But they never imagined that such a powerful Magneto would actually lose at the hands of Polaris.
Following the conclusion of the battle,
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Avengers' conference room,
Except for Tony, who had not yet been reached,
Almost all other members of the Avengers under S.H.I.E.L.D. had arrived.
Captain Steve Rogers.
Hulk Banner.
Hawkeye.
Black Widow Natasha.
Falcon,
Thor.
And the current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Black Egg Nick Fury.
Zhao Yu's appearance had also caused quite a butterfly effect.
One of the biggest impacts was,
Rhodes, who originally obtained the War Machine armor in the plot of Iron Man 2,
Was sorry to find that he no longer had the chance to obtain the War Machine here.
Without the super-strong Mark armor,
Rhodes, who was himself an ordinary person,
Found the current Avengers to be an existence he could not even hope to reach.
Looking at the giant screen in the conference room, which repeatedly played the battle between Magneto and Polaris,
And seeing the Lightning Power manipulated by Polaris,
This quickly caught the attention of Thor, who was the God of Thunder.
After all, Thor excelled at using the power of lightning.
"This should be the same as yours, right?"
Facing Thor's question,
Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward the only female present,
Black Widow Natasha.
"I said before, that man's physique is very special,"
"I only had one forced encounter with him and I gained transcendent power,"
"And as far as I know, this woman has been with that man for several years now,"
"With the strength of that man's physique, he would definitely not let such a beauty off easily."
Facing the collective gaze of the Avengers,
Black Widow Natasha did not hide anything at all.
After all, this was the information Zhao Yu had already instructed her she could reveal to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Zhao Yu had even asked Natasha to proactively confess his abilities to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Going to bed can allow an ordinary person to possess this kind of transcendent power?"
Although Natasha had already reported this matter before,
Seeing this situation happen to another woman now,
At this moment, within the S.H.I.E.L.D. Avengers, many people couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought flash through their minds.
If...
If they were girls, and girls as beautiful as Natasha,
Then would they also have the chance to obtain this kind of transcendent power?
Chapter 148: The Disappeared Tony
"John, is this really okay?"
"Escaping the academy to join the Brotherhood,"
Meanwhile, on a street not far from a camp of the Brotherhood, a notorious Mutant organization.
A few young men were seen sneaking toward the Brotherhood's camp in small groups.
As they were about to arrive at the Brotherhood's camp.
One of the boys, who looked about sixteen, suddenly asked the hot-tempered Fire Man in front of him in a low voice.
"If you're a coward, then get lost and go back."
"Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters is beyond saving."
"The Professor is hopeless. The X-Men are hopeless too."
"They are a bunch of cowardly, weak useless trash."
"That Stark, look at what kind of crap he's been sending over lately."
"It's simply too much to bear."
"We are noble Mutants, not some source of entertainment for that guy to amuse himself with."
Thinking of Zhao Yu's actions at Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
Pyro felt the fire of anger in his heart boiling even more fiercely.
"The Brotherhood is just ahead."
"The leader of the Brotherhood is Magneto."
"If we follow him, what happened with the Professor will definitely never happen again."
Regarding the weakness and incompetence of Professor X and the X-Men.
Fire Man was also filled with indignation.
They were high and mighty Mutants.
How could they be bullied so easily by others?
"You intend to join the Brotherhood?"
The arrival of Fire Man and his group of three also caught the Brotherhood's attention.
After learning of their intentions.
At this moment, Mystique, who was also a leader-level figure in the Brotherhood, hurriedly walked over.
After learning of Fire Man and the others' intentions.
A smile appeared on Mystique's face.
She then expressed a warm welcome.
"Stark Industries just happens to be our next target."
"Once we take down Stark Industries,"
"we'll see how that man you mentioned can still be so arrogant."
Mystique had absolute faith in Magneto's strength.
As long as Magneto took action, there was nothing that couldn't be resolved.
"This is bad, this is bad!"
"The boss has been captured alive by Stark Industries!"
Just as Mystique was leading the Brotherhood members in warmly hosting Fire Man's group.
Hedgehog Man, who had narrowly escaped with his life, hurriedly rushed in from a distance.
The words he roared out instantly left everyone present stunned in place.
"What did you say? Magneto was captured by Stark Industries?"
As if hearing some fantastical tall tale.
Mystique looked at Hedgehog Man with a face full of disbelief.
"Boss, are we still joining the Brotherhood?"
Another one of the three who had escaped Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters with Fire Man.
After hearing this explosive news.
He asked Fire Man with a bit of hesitation.
"This... how should I know?"
At this moment, Fire Man was also stunned.
Was Magneto such a piece of trash?
To be honest, Fire Man himself was dazed after hearing this news.
Now he even had an urge to return to Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
He originally thought his own academy was weak and incompetent, but who would have thought those outside were even weaker?
Their boss had actually been taken prisoner.
At this moment, feelings of regret kept boiling in Fire Man's heart.
"Stark Industries,"
"Was it that Titan Sword God who personally took action?"
After murmuring to herself for a few moments, Mystique looked intently at Hedgehog Man.
In her view, the only one in Stark Industries with such strength was Yu Stark, who was known as the Titan Sword God.
That man rumored to possess world-destroying power.
"No,"
"it was the boss's daughter, Polaris,"
"she is the Controller of Thunder and Magnetism,"
"it was she who defeated the boss."
Facing Mystique's questioning, the scene of Polaris waving her hand and surrounding a hundred long swords with lightning couldn't help but flash through Hedgehog Man's mind.
"Polaris?"
"That girl... she actually possesses such power?"
"It seems I need to personally make a trip to Stark Industries."
Mystique never expected that she would hear such news from Hedgehog Man.
Magneto, who she considered extraordinary and invincible, had actually lost to a little girl like Polaris.
"You three, settle down here for the time being."
"I still have some matters that need to be resolved."
As someone who had once personally assassinated the President.
She was also very confident in her own strength.
In a head-on confrontation, she might not be Zhao Yu's match.
But with her ability to mimic others, Mystique believed she could definitely rescue Magneto from Stark Industries.
"Alright,"
Fire Man, who was still considering whether he should sneak back to Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.
Faced with Mystique's serious gaze and the predatory looks of the other Mutants in the Brotherhood.
Fire Man couldn't help but feel a bit guilty at this moment.
"Don't worry, I will definitely wait here for your triumphant return,"
"It's just Stark Industries; how could they possibly be a match for our Brotherhood?"
"If they really anger our Brotherhood, with so many of our brothers charging together, we can definitely handle this Stark Industries."
Fire Man even started making guarantees while patting his chest.
He even clamored for all members of the Brotherhood to launch a full attack.
"Don't worry, things haven't reached that point yet,"
"Just wait for my good news."
Mystique was particularly confident when it came to rescuing people.
With her ability, there was nowhere in the world she couldn't go.
"What did you say? My brother is missing?"
"My sister-in-law is missing too?"
"Happy, are you sure the two of them didn't sneak off behind your back to go on a honeymoon?"
In the office of the vice president on the top floor of Stark Industries.
Blink, who was standing behind Zhao Yu, looked at Happy in front of the office with a face full of resentment.
Today, it was finally her turn to serve Zhao Yu.
The office scene between a CEO and a married-woman secretary hadn't even begun.
Before it was interrupted by Happy, who suddenly rushed in.
"Second Young Master, how would I dare joke with you about something like this?"
"Tony and Pepper have been missing for two or three days."
"I've searched everywhere I could think of."
At this moment, Happy was wearing a well-fitted suit.
However, his hair appeared very disheveled.
It was clear that he had indeed worried quite a bit over the past two days.
"With my brother's strength,"
"it's considered quite decent on this Planet."
"Who could possibly kidnap him?"
At this moment, Zhao Yu also appeared slightly surprised.
Ever since creating the Mark series armors.
Tony had leaped from being an ordinary mortal to becoming Iron Man with super strength.
Chapter 149: Controlling Mystique; What a Pity, a 200-Year-Old Young Woman.
"Sir, your coffee."
Just then, Polaris walked in from outside with a swaying gait, carrying a cup of coffee.
"Just put it down,"
Zhao Yu said subconsciously.
But immediately following that, Zhao Yu looked at Polaris with a playful gaze.
"Young Master,"
Meanwhile, Blink, who was standing behind Zhao Yu massaging his shoulders and back,
Clearly, even she had noticed the issue.
"Happy, you go down first."
"I'm already aware of this matter."
"I reckon I've already guessed who kidnapped that Old Fellow."
"Don't worry, I'll handle this properly."
He thought for a moment. Plus, it was currently the year 2012.
What important events regarding Iron Man Tony happened in 2012?
There was one.
That would be the creator of the Extremis virus.
Back then, that man was a fanatical admirer of Tony.
But because of a careless slip of the tongue from Tony, Killian actually listened to Tony's words and waited bitterly for him on the rooftop all night.
Meanwhile, Tony, surrounded by soft fragrance and warm jade, had long since forgotten his promise to Killian.
This caused Killian, who originally worshipped Tony fanatically, to have his psyche twisted by the massive humiliation.
He turned his admiration for Tony into hatred.
He collaborated with the creator of the Extremis virus.
Injecting the Extremis virus into human bodies,
It allowed ordinary people to gain superhuman strength and scorching high temperatures.
However, Extremis was not without its weaknesses.
After suffering a heavy blow or damage, the host of the Extremis virus would explode because their body could not withstand the heat generated by the virus.
These were things Zhao Yu would have to deal with next.
What Zhao Yu needed to deal with now was the great beauty winking at him right before his eyes.
Polaris.
"Alright, second young master."
Although he didn't know why Zhao Yu was so confident and certain,
Happy could only trust Zhao Yu right now.
He respectfully backed away and left the office.
"Sir?"
"Polaris, since when did you become so distant with me?"
Looking at Polaris standing in front of him,
Zhao Yu waved his hand at her.
"Young Master, it was just a slip of the tongue,"
Polaris's swaying figure changed as her expression shifted, followed by a giggling smile.
With a gust of fragrant wind, she threw herself into Zhao Yu's embrace.
"Mhm."
Zhao Yu wasn't one to pass up an opportunity presented to him for free.
He reached along the hem of her loose-fitting dress.
"Have you ever heard a story?"
"Legend has it that possessing one woman is equivalent to possessing all the beauties in the World."
Feeling the soft, fragrant warmth in his arms,
Zhao Yu suddenly brought up this topic.
When the Polaris in his arms heard Zhao Yu say this,
Her body clearly stiffened for a moment.
Her eyes darted around rapidly.
"Possessing one person is equivalent to possessing all the beauties in the World?"
"Young Master, what kind of person is so magical?"
Blink, on the other hand, appeared very curious.
There are thousands upon thousands of beauties in the World,
Each with their own unique characteristics.
What kind of beauty could possibly integrate the traits of every beauty under heaven?
"The Mutant Mystique possesses the ability to change her form and appearance at will."
"As long as she's willing, she can transform into the appearance of any beauty in the World."
"Am I right? Mystique?"
Zhao Yu looked down at the beauty in his arms.
A smile played at the corners of his mouth.
"How did you know my identity?"
Mystique, still in the form of Polaris,
No longer had her previous fawning expression; instead, it was replaced by doubt.
Mystique was quite confident in her own abilities.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.*
Just then, a flash of blue light flickered.
The charming and coquettish Polaris in Zhao Yu's arms transformed into a monster with blue scales and the figure of a young woman.
This was Mystique's true form.
"A pity."
"This is a two-hundred-year-old matron."
Looking at Mystique, who had returned to her original state,
Zhao Yu had no interest whatsoever in this blue-skinned monster.
He still preferred beauties with delicate, fair skin.
"Haha."
Seeing the undisguised disgust in Zhao Yu's eyes,
Mystique gave a cold snort.
Men really were shallow creatures who only cared about outward appearances.
*Whoosh.*
Mystique's legs blurred as she spun, delivering a heavy kick toward Zhao Yu.
*Thump.*
But before Mystique's leg could even reach Zhao Yu,
A force that made her feel despair instantly rebounded.
Under the impact of this power, Mystique was sent flying backward.
"A mere Level 3 Mutant,"
"And not even the primary offensive type."
"I really don't understand where you get the nerve to try and make a move on me."
Looking at Mystique, who had been knocked away by the rebound of his Armament Haki,
Zhao Yu showed undisguised disdain in his eyes.
"I truly underestimated you, Mr. Stark."
"Mr. Stark, our Brotherhood has no intention of making an enemy of you."
"We hope you can release Magneto."
"Otherwise, the Brotherhood will fight Stark Industries to the death."
Realizing that she was no match for Zhao Yu at all,
Mystique brought up the name of the Brotherhood.
An organization composed of Mutants.
Every member inside was a Mutant with their own unique abilities.
"The Brotherhood?"
"A bunch of rabble."
"Do you think a dragon fears the threats of ants?"
To Zhao Yu, Mystique's threat was completely laughable.
To ordinary people, the Brotherhood might be an incomparably vast and powerful organization.
But to Zhao Yu, the Brotherhood's strength was better reflected in the Emotional Value it could provide.
Just like the Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters,
All Mutants possessed the qualification to provide Emotional Value.
That was what Zhao Yu valued.
"You want to see Magneto?"
"Coincidentally, I want to see him too."
"In some respects, his ideas are quite consistent with mine."
After Polaris captured Magneto yesterday,
Zhao Yu still hadn't found the chance to meet him.
Since you, Mystique, want to see him, then let's go together to see this 'man of the hour,' Magneto.
"You're willing to take me to see Magneto?"
To be honest, hearing Zhao Yu make this proposal,
Mystique found it hard to believe.
Why had Mystique disguised herself as Polaris to get close to Zhao Yu?
It was precisely in the hope of determining where Magneto was being imprisoned through Zhao Yu.
She hadn't expected that even after her identity had been discovered,
Zhao Yu would still be willing to take her to see Magneto.
Chapter 150: Magneto, Are You Satisfied?
"Ding dong, surprise from Mystique, Emotional Value +15,"
"Better than nothing,"
Regarding the 15 points of Emotional Value provided by Mystique,
Zhao Yu felt it was better than nothing.
After all, with the Emotional Value Zhao Yu currently possessed,
he no longer cared for a mere 15 points.
Of course, if it were hundreds or thousands of 15 points,
Zhao Yu would be more than happy to accept.
"Ding dong,"
Taking the private elevator, Zhao Yu and his group quickly arrived at Level B3 from the top floor of Stark Industries.
Level B3 now belonged exclusively to the Stark Industries Security Team.
"Young Master,"
When Zhao Yu's figure appeared there,
the members of the security team currently stationed on Level B3 hurriedly greeted him.
Sandman and Abomination.
"Where is Magneto imprisoned?"
Looking at Abomination standing respectfully before him,
this monster, nearly three meters tall and covered in terrifying bone spurs, looked extremely fearsome.
Yet now, his face wore a fawning expression.
It couldn't be helped; Zhao Yu had been too ruthless back then.
To this day, Abomination's legs felt weak whenever he saw Zhao Yu.
"Young Master, this way please,"
Abomination obediently led the way.
"Such a monster is as docile as a little rabbit in front of you,"
"I'm curious, how did you do it?"
Glancing at Abomination leading the way,
that massive physique and hideous appearance
looked anything but ordinary.
Yet such a monster-like existence was as obedient as a rabbit when he saw Zhao Yu.
"If you're interested, you can ask him yourself,"
Mystique's question brought a smug look to Zhao Yu's face.
When he first arrived, Abomination was incredibly wild and untamed.
He had been shouting about twisting off Zhao Yu's head.
But it only took two days,
and the once wild Abomination had become the docile rabbit seen now.
"Young Master, we've arrived,"
As they walked, the group arrived at the place where Magneto was held.
It was a massive glass enclosure.
Around the glass enclosure were four iron rods flickering with Lightning Power.
Using an alternating magnetic field generated by alternating current to disrupt the orderly arrangement of magnetic domains within magnetic materials, restoring them to a disordered state and thereby eliminating magnetic force.
In some respects, it perfectly countered Magneto's power.
"Mystique,"
"If I remember correctly, you must be the second young master of Stark Industries,"
"The legendary Titan Sword God,"
Upon seeing Mystique, Magneto, who had been sitting inside the giant glass cage,
stood up from the bed in surprise.
When he saw Zhao Yu standing beside Mystique,
Magneto's entire expression and attitude underwent a massive change.
"Magneto, are you in the mood to have a chat with me?"
Looking at Magneto, who had been imprisoned here ever since being captured alive by Polaris,
Zhao Yu issued an invitation to talk with a smile.
"Hmph,"
"Why not?"
As a formidable hegemon of his generation,
Magneto was not lacking in courage.
"Open this cage,"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Yu signaled Abomination to open the cage holding Magneto.
As for whether this would allow Magneto to break out and go on a rampage,
Zhao Yu thought, with my current strength, handling someone like Magneto is a piece of cake.
"As you wish, Young Master,"
Without any hesitation, Abomination directly deactivated the power device restraining Magneto.
Then he opened the bulletproof glass enclosure.
"Young man, you have quite the nerve,"
As the power-restraining device stopped,
that feeling of uncontrolled magnetic force was once again easily mastered by Magneto.
With just a thought from Magneto,
all the steel within a radius of dozens of kilometers would obey Magneto's command.
Magneto,
the king of Magnetic Control.
"To me,"
"your strength is still too weak,"
"I'm not worried at all that you'll be able to cause any trouble in front of me,"
Facing Magneto, who had regained his abilities,
Zhao Yu remained just as arrogant.
A mere Magneto.
"Arrogant!"
Magneto was once a terrifying overlord who made people tremble at the mention of his name.
Today, he was being called worthless by this young brat.
Anger couldn't help but flare up in Magneto's heart.
"I advise you not to make a move here,"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll leave here alive,"
Just as Magneto was about to strike and show Zhao Yu his terrifying power,
Zhao Yu's gaze suddenly turned sharp as he looked at Magneto.
*Boom boom boom,*
In an instant, an astonishing aura erupted from Zhao Yu's body.
Purple lightning entwined around Zhao Yu.
A powerful aura of pressure directly targeted Magneto.
The Conquerors Haki of Four Emperors Beast Kaido and Four Emperors Whitebeard.
The Haki of the two kings merged into one.
*Buzz buzz,*
At that moment, Magneto felt his shoulders sink.
A feeling that made him want to submit seemed to constantly swirl in his mind.
He felt as if his body had become incredibly heavy.
"To achieve this level just through pressure..."
Although this Conquerors Haki was only aimed at Magneto,
the leaking aura still made Mystique, standing next to Zhao Yu, feel terrified.
"Magneto, are you in the mood to chat now?"
The powerful Conquerors Haki continued to press down on Magneto.
As Zhao Yu raised his right foot and took a gentle step forward,
*Boom boom,*
the already powerful Conquerors Haki became even more oppressive.
Magneto, who was barely holding on, felt the bones all over his body trembling.
"I am interested,"
At this moment, even the proud Magneto,
he had to lower the head he considered so noble.
"A wise man submits to circumstances,"
"If you knew it would come to this, why act that way in the beginning?"
Seeing Magneto bow his head in submission,
Zhao Yu nodded in satisfaction and then withdrew the Conquerors Haki of the two kings.
"As expected of the legendary Titan Sword God, the Dragon Envoy,"
"the man rumored to be able to destroy an entire Planet's civilization with a single blow,"
At this moment, both Magneto and Mystique,
they couldn't help but think of the titles given to Zhao Yu by various factions in this World.
Titan Sword God, Dragon Envoy, Destroyer of Civilizations.
Previously, Magneto only thought these were compliments others gave Zhao Yu.
But now, Magneto was certain.
This wasn't a compliment at all, but a cold, hard reality.
The strength of the man before him was unfathomable.
"Trust me, you will be very satisfied with this conversation,"
While Magneto's mind was racing with a thousand thoughts,
Zhao Yu's next words made Magneto even more confused.
What does he mean by 'I will be very satisfied'?
Chapter 151: The Pitfall of the Anti-Tony Armor
"Young Master, are you just letting them leave like that?"
The one-hour meeting passed quite pleasantly.
The exact content of the meeting was unknown.
But the result was very satisfying for Magneto.
After all, the smile on Magneto's face never faded as he left.
"It's just a mutually beneficial cooperation,"
"If Magneto can actually manage to turn everyone in this World into Mutants,"
"Then I would be very Happy,"
"If he can't, then I'm not the one losing out,"
Looking at Magneto's excited figure as he departed,
Blink asked Zhao Yu with a face full of confusion.
Zhao Yu, on the other hand, appeared very calm, even indifferent.
Once someone becomes a Mutant and possesses extraordinary strength, they gain the qualification to provide Emotional Value to Zhao Yu.
If Magneto truly could turn everyone in the World into Mutants,
Then the number of people Zhao Yu could harvest emotions from would skyrocket.
To put it bluntly, the Emotional Value gathered from participating in a single variety show could reach millions or even tens of millions.
However, Zhao Yu also understood,
That turning the entire World into Mutants,
Was almost an impossibility.
But on second thought,
It wasn't him spending the time and effort on this matter anyway.
He had only given a verbal promise.
As for whether Magneto could actually do it, that would depend on his own ability.
"Alright, Blink,"
"Let's continue with what we were doing before we were interrupted,"
He wrapped his arm around Blink's slender waist.
Because of Happy's interruption earlier,
Zhao Yu and Blink's unfinished business had been cut short.
Now that everyone who needed to leave had left,
"Aren't you going to look for Mr. Stark's whereabouts?"
Although Blink was also very Happy and excited about what was to come,
She wondered if he wasn't worried about Tony Stark at all.
"Don't worry, that guy won't die,"
"At most, he'll suffer a little,"
"Besides, it'll give him a chance to confess his feelings in a fancy way,"
Zhao Yu had indeed been a bit worried earlier about what might happen with Pepper and Tony's disappearance.
Therefore, Zhao Yu had specifically instructed Professor X,
Asking Professor X to help find Tony Stark's whereabouts.
And Professor X's telepathic ability certainly did not disappoint Zhao Yu.
In an instant, Professor X found the whereabouts of Tony Stark and Pepper and told Zhao Yu.
After learning that the two were not in any life-threatening danger and were just in a bit of trouble,
Especially after learning that the trouble they faced was because of a man named Killian,
A certain area of memory in Zhao Yu's mind was triggered and activated.
The plot of Iron Man 3.
His dear brother was about to blow up over a dozen suits of Armor just to confess his love to his beloved woman.
"A billion-dollar fireworks show,"
"Tonight, I'll take you all to see a performance,"
Obviously, even a wealthy man like Zhao Yu wouldn't easily put on a billion-dollar fireworks show himself.
Since he was reluctant to spend that money,
He might as well take this opportunity to bring his girlfriends along to enjoy this billion-dollar fireworks show.
"A billion-dollar fireworks show?"
Hearing that there would be a billion-dollar fireworks show tonight,
Even the well-traveled Blink couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Billions.
That was no small number... "Killian,"
"Go to hell!"
Late at night, in a remote suburb hundreds of kilometers away from New York City,
Dozens of suits of Armor were fighting here against a group of Extremis users whose bodies were glowing with scorching flames.
Tony, wearing the Anti-Tony Armor, was also locked in a fierce battle with the leader of this group, Killian.
Killian had injected himself with Extremis.
When it flared up, he could even erupt with scorching flames.
In a sense, Killian had a crushing advantage over Tony.
"Tony Stark,"
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant,"
"Why did you break our appointment back then?"
"I stood on that rooftop and waited for you for an entire night,"
"From excitement to despair,"
"I felt like a fool, being played by you,"
Killian's hands glowed with intense heat.
He attacked Tony,
While venting the fury in his heart.
"I'm very sorry, buddy,"
"But that doesn't mean you can act recklessly because of a grudge,"
After learning that Killian had become this monstrous way because he had stood him up last time,
Tony offered an apology.
However, that didn't mean Tony could tolerate the crimes Killian had committed here.
*Boom, boom!*
*Boom, boom!*
The commotion caused by the battle grew larger and larger.
There were Extremis subjects being destroyed by the combat Armors,
And there were also suits of Armor being destroyed in the battle.
Overall, however, the tide of the war was slowly turning in favor of Iron Man Tony Stark.
"Even if I die, I'm taking you with me!"
As the battle progressed,
The number of Extremis subjects on Killian's side dwindled.
By the time only a dozen or so of Tony's suits were left,
The group of Extremis subjects under Killian's command had all been killed in battle.
Seeing the remaining ten or so suits of Armor slowly closing in on him,
Killian suddenly realized that he might fail again this time.
In a fit of rage, Killian decided to perish together with Tony Stark.
"Go to hell, Tony Stark!"
Allowing the powerful Extremis in his body to erupt with scorching power without restraint,
Killian abandoned all defensive modes and rushed toward Tony Stark at high speed.
Even if he died today, he would drag Tony Stark down with him.
"You..."
Watching Killian rush toward him frantically,
Especially seeing the fire-like glow on his skin intensify,
Tony also panicked.
Tony had witnessed the explosion of an Extremis user before.
Even with the protection of the Iron Man Armor,
Tony felt a bit apprehensive.
But just as he was about to activate the Armor to quickly escape,
The Anti-Tony Armor kicked in.
Its flight mode had suddenly malfunctioned.
"Holy shit!"
At this moment, Tony felt like he'd been struck by a bolt from the blue.
Was this the legendary Anti-Tony Armor?
An existence specifically meant to screw over its own Master.
"Get away from him!"
Just as the Anti-Tony Armor was about to screw Tony over once again,
And just as the about-to-explode Killian was about to reach Tony,
A girl's shout rang out in Tony's ear.
Chapter 152: Hello Big Brother, Hello Sister-in-law; Brother, Are You No Longer Capable?
"Boom, boom,"
"Crack,"
As Killian charged forward, a small iron fist suddenly appeared before him.
Then, the fist struck downward.
Killian was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Upon impact, an explosion erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting everything.
"You... Pepper,"
Looking at the woman before him, radiating intense heat like a Valkyrie.
Tony couldn't help but wonder if God was playing a joke on him.
The gentle lady from the office...
And then looking at this Valkyrie before him, as powerful and imposing as a God of War.
For a moment, Tony hadn't even reacted to what was happening.
"Thud,"
While Tony was still confused.
Exhausted, Pepper lost her footing, stumbling as if about to collapse to the ground.
"Pepper, are you okay? Don't scare me like that,"
This scene gave Tony quite a fright.
He quickly rushed forward to support Pepper.
"I'm fine,"
Because Killian had injected Pepper with Extremis.
Pepper's physique had been modified.
Seeing Tony in danger just now, Pepper had desperately unleashed her full power.
But because she overexerted herself.
Now, Pepper only felt her body go weak.
"As long as you're okay,"
Collapsing into Tony's arms.
Looking at the man before her.
Pepper gently reached out her hand, stroking Tony's face.
These words were better than a thousand sweet nothings.
"Pepper, I'm sorry,"
"Lately, I have indeed neglected you,"
"I know, it's because I was unwilling—unwilling to accept why I could never compare to my younger brother,"
"So I wanted to prove myself, to prove that the Stark Family's Twin Stars aren't just one person standing out,"
"I worked hard to develop the Armor just to prove to the World that I'm not worse than my brother,"
"It was this resentment that made me overlook your feelings,"
"But I understand now, Pepper,"
"Sometimes, a person just has to accept it,"
"Who told that bastard's bloodline to be so terrifying?"
"But I have to say, my old man was pretty impressive too, being able to hook up with such a powerful Fairy,"
Regarding his brother.
Current Tony really was speechless.
"Pepper, I want to give you a gift,"
At that moment, Tony seemed to have made a certain decision.
Tony pulled Pepper into a hug.
Then, under Pepper's surprised gaze.
Tony's dozen or so remaining Armors.
Suddenly, one by one, they exploded in mid-air.
Armors worth billions of dollars.
At this moment, they became brilliant fireworks across the sky.
"So beautiful,"
Looking at these expensive fireworks, Pepper's heart felt incredibly sweet.
This man could change for her.
"Fireworks worth billions certainly look much better than ordinary ones,"
Meanwhile, just as Tony and Pepper were immersed in their private World.
Zhao Yu's voice, full of emotion, suddenly rang in their ears.
With surprised looks, Tony and Pepper both looked toward the source of the sound.
Zhao Yu stood in the center, with Western beauties like the Cuckoo Sisters, Blink, Mary Jane, Gwen, and Black Widow Natasha standing to his left.
Standing to his right were Mi Mi, Tang Tang, Ya Ya, Liu Tianxian, and Liu Xiaoli—five beauties from the Eastern Empire.
"Call him Big Brother,"
Seeing Tony looking at him as if he'd seen a ghost.
Zhao Yu raised his hand and waved, acting like a mob boss.
The women who had an actual relationship with Zhao Yu all shouted at Tony in unison.
"Hello, Big Brother,"
"Call her Sister-in-law,"
After they greeted the Big Brother, Zhao Yu then ordered the women to greet Pepper as Sister-in-law.
"Hello, Sister-in-law,"
The women again shouted "Hello, Sister-in-law" in unison.
Looking at these dozen or so charming Eastern and Western beauties shouting "Big Brother" and "Sister-in-law" in unison.
Tony was stunned.
Pepper was also stunned.
Why was Zhao Yu here?
And what was the deal with these dozen or so charming beauties?
"I wanted to see fireworks worth billions too,"
"And I feel that sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone,"
"So I brought all your sisters-in-law over,"
Looking at the two dumbfounded people, Zhao Yu even had a smug look on his face.
"Brother, you're no longer capable,"
"To think you'd hang yourself on a single tree; you're really wasting our Stark Family's excellent bloodline,"
"But it's okay, I'll endure your share for you twofold,"
Approaching Tony and greeting Pepper.
Zhao Yu put his arm around Tony's neck and whispered those words into his ear.
"You..."
"Ding, Emotional Value from Iron Man Tony +15,"
At this moment, Tony really wanted to give Zhao Yu two kicks to the chest.
What kind of time is it, and you're still making jokes like this?
Are you not satisfied until you've angered your brother to death?
I finally turned over a new leaf and became an upright, friendly, and devoted man.
Do you really have to keep leading your brother down that path of no return?
"I see,"
Ignoring Tony's murderous gaze, Zhao Yu acted as if he had understood something.
"Brother, I suddenly understand you a little,"
"The reason you gave up the forest to pursue a single tree..."
"Is it because you no longer have the light to shine upon the forest?"
"Are you no longer up to it, brother?"
"Brother, you're 'incapable' now, aren't you?"
"Brother, are you really no longer capable?"
"Are you sick?!"
At this point, Tony truly couldn't hold it in anymore.
Looking at Zhao Yu, who was loudly shouting about whether he was capable or not.
Tony really snapped.
Even if I were or weren't, you shouldn't be shouting it out loud here!
And shouting it so many times!
Even if I really did give up the forest because I'm 'incapable'...
You still can't say it like that!
"Brother, how did you know I'm sick?"
"Being too capable is my sickness,"
"I am destined to never be tied to a single tree in this life,"
"Brother, do you have a way to help me cure this sickness?"
Hearing Zhao Yu's words.
Tony now truly wished he could kick him to death.
I must have been really sick to bring you back from the orphanage.
I should have just let you wander the streets back then.
Instead of letting you anger me like this here.
Chapter 153: God-King Oli: Kid of the Stark Family, Go Woo My Daughter.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"God-King Odin, My Lord."
After Tony's matters were resolved,
Zhao Yu subsequently spent a relatively peaceful period of time.
During these quiet days, Zhao Yu's Emotional Value actually increased quite a bit.
Aside from the already developed little gold mine that was Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters,
there was also the Brotherhood, who had several times hijacked the Stark Industries Transportation Escort Team's supplies.
This group, which also gathered countless Mutants,
likewise provided Zhao Yu with a steady and considerable amount of Emotional Value.
Fire Man looked at the quilt in his hand, which was also printed with a large headshot of Zhao Yu.
He looked at the water cup in his hand; the bottom of the cup was similarly printed with Zhao Yu's headshot.
Why were all the supplies looted by the Brotherhood bearing Zhao Yu's headshot?
How was this any different from Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters?
After defecting from Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters for a better life, he ended up falling into such a fiery pit again.
The amount of Emotional Value was sufficient.
Additionally, the number of kings battle souls had already exceeded 10.
Therefore, during this time, Zhao Yu would occasionally open Kings Canyon.
Inside Kings Canyon,
those under Zhao Yu who possessed kings battle souls could truly experience peak-level combat.
They could even feel the power akin to a true god when wearing a six-item build.
Their practical combat experience improved rapidly.
Otherwise, for the group of delicate superstars like Mi Mi, who had no real actual combat experience,
the combat power of the powerful kings battle souls in their hands would not even be one-tenth of its potential.
To stimulate the competitive desire for these kings battle souls,
Zhao Yu even set himself as the stake.
The East and West sides formed two teams.
The winners would be able to obtain a Zhao Yu One-Night Experience Card.
This caused the morale of the two major camps, East and West, to soar instantly.
The Eastern camp currently possesses the souls: (Mi Mi) Daji, (Ya Ya) Wang Zhaojun, (Tang Tang) Angela, (Liu Tianxian) Hua Mulan, and (Liu Xiaoli) Cai Wenji.
The Western camp currently possesses the souls: (Blink) Da Qiao, (Polaris) Sikong Zhen, (Gwen) Jing, (Mary Jane) Mi Yue, (Natasha) A Ke, and for the Cuckoo Sisters, King Arthur, Dian Wei, and Bai Qi.
Since Mary Jane is currently the Minister of the Eastern Empire Entertainment Division of Stark Industries, she temporarily participated in the Eastern camp's battles as part of the Western camp.
Overall, the battles between the two sides were quite enjoyable.
At the beginning, it was just like a King's Bronze Tier match.
Both sides were like noobs pecking at each other.
Missing their ultimates was a normal occurrence.
Sometimes, in the heat of the fight, they even started attacking their own teammates.
There is no friendly fire protection mode here.
After all, in reality, there wouldn't be any teammate damage immunity mechanism.
Just as Zhao Yu was having fun during this time,
he suddenly received a summons from God-King Odin.
Without the slightest hesitation,
when that seven-colored light enveloped his body, Zhao Yu did not choose to resist but instead followed the pull of this power to Asgard.
"My Lord,"
"Your expression looks a bit unhappy."
When Zhao Yu's figure arrived in Asgard via the Bifrost Bridge's teleportation,
he looked at the man holding the Eternal Spear and wearing golden Armor.
God-King Odin.
Zhao Yu actually saw a hint of sadness in this man's eyes.
"Little fellow, do you still remember your promise to me?"
God-King Odin did not choose to reply to Zhao Yu directly.
Instead, he emphasized the promise Zhao Yu had once given to God-King Odin.
"Of course,"
"I, Yu Stark, keep my word."
Although he didn't know exactly why God-King Odin was looking for him,
seeing God-King Odin's sad expression at this moment,
Zhao Yu had a somewhat bold guess in his heart.
That was, something had happened to Queen Frigga.
"Could the plot have already reached the Dark Elves' stage?"
"The Aether Particle, the Mind Stone."
He quickly calculated the time of Queen Frigga's death in his mind.
Although twenty years had passed,
Zhao Yu might have forgotten some minor plot details,
but he still knew the general plot.
Among them, the time of death for Thor's mother, Queen Frigga,
was when the Aether Particle, which is the Reality Stone, emerged.
The Dark Elves, who once ruled the Nine Realms, openly attacked Asgard to seize the Aether Particle.
During this attack,
Queen Frigga died a tragic death in battle.
This became an eternal, indelible pain in God-King Odin's heart.
"I wonder what My Lord needs me to do?"
Facing the sorrowful God-King Odin,
and considering the huge gap in strength that still existed between the two,
Zhao Yu behaved as obediently as a good baby at this moment.
"I need you to take a trip to the Underworld."
"During the time I might be away from Asgard,"
"I need you to help me watch over my daughter, Goddess of Death Hela."
"This is the promise between us."
"With your strength, plus the fact that her strength is currently greatly diminished,"
"you can control her and prevent her from escaping the Underworld."
"For you, this is not a dangerous mission."
"Help me complete this matter,"
"and the matter of you destroying my destroyer armor will be wiped clean once and for all."
"Furthermore, I will give you the Reality Stone as the reward for this transaction."
God-King Odin did not continue to pressure Zhao Yu through coercion.
This was their previous agreement.
At the same time, for this mission, Zhao Yu would receive a generous reward: the Reality Stone.
What? The Reality Stone is currently in the hands of the Dark Elves?
Heh.
With God-King Odin's strength,
if he wanted to act, he could smash the dog heads of those Dark Elf dogs in minutes.
Truthfully, Queen Frigga's death had also provoked God-King Odin.
He was truly prepared to take the field himself.
But before that, he needed someone to help him restrain his daughter, Goddess of Death Hela.
God-King Odin didn't want a major crisis to erupt in his own backyard after he left home.
"Of course,"
"My Lord, my Stark Family has always been famous throughout the Universe for keeping its promises."
The reward for this mission was actually the Reality Stone from the Aether Particle.
Zhao Yu agreed directly without even thinking.
For God-King Odin, the power of the six Elemental Stones might not provide him with much of a boost.
But for Zhao Yu,
the power of the six Elemental Stones was extraordinary.
Zhao Yu currently controls the Space Stone from the Tesseract and the Mind Stone within the Mind Stone.
If he added this Reality Stone transformed from the Aether Particle,
then of the six Elemental Stones in the Universe, three would already have fallen into Zhao Yu's hands.
