"Jarvis!" Tony Stark quickly called his intelligent butler.
Jarvis responded quickly:
"Sir, the bomb is on Miss Gwen Stacy's abdomen. It's custom-made, and preliminary analysis suggests it's a mixed-trigger type. The Goblin should have a way to detonate it."
Following Jarvis's reminder, Tony Stark also saw several strange pumpkin bombs fixed to Gwen Stacy's abdomen.
"That's terrible taste. Jarvis, will disarming it trigger the detonation?"
"Sir, the existing tools on the iron suit can disarm the bomb without triggering it, but I must remind you, the Goblin has not been incapacitated. He is flying over now and may detonate the bomb during the disarming process."
"Use long-range weapons to keep him occupied, then remove the right arm armor and cover the bomb!" Tony Stark quickly proposed a countermeasure.
The iron suit's left arm lifted, aimed at Harry Osborn flying in mid-air. Its palm lit up, and several cannon muzzles and gun barrels popped out simultaneously, also aimed at Harry Osborn on his glider.
Then the iron suit quickly descended, landing on the clock tower. The right arm armor detached from the entire iron suit, ready to envelop the bomb.
Seeing Gwen Stacy being rescued by the unknown Iron Man, and realizing he was about to disarm the bomb he had placed on her, Harry Osborn dodged the bullets aimed at him, but was staggered by the residual blast of an explosion. He found he couldn't get close to Gwen Stacy and the Iron Man. Seeing Gwen Stacy about to be saved, Harry Osborn couldn't stand by any longer.
"Gwen Stacy can't get away! Even killing her like this will make Peter suffer!"
Thinking this, Harry Osborn's expression turned ferocious. He grabbed the remote control for the bomb on Gwen Stacy and pressed it.
Tony Stark had just used the right arm of the iron suit to cover the bomb when Jarvis frantically warned him.
"Sir, the bomb has been detonated."
Before Jarvis's warning, the iron suit had already moved on its own. It first stopped the left arm of the iron suit, which was continuously attacking Harry Osborn, and quickly grabbed the right arm of the iron suit, which was covering the bomb. Under the power of the mechanical arm, the bomb was torn off and then thrown into the air by Jarvis.
As soon as the bomb was torn off, Tony Stark used his iron suit-clad body to shield Gwen Stacy. The bomb, just thrown into the air, instantly exploded, blasting a hole in the upper part of the clock tower.
Tony Stark and Gwen Stacy, affected by the explosion, also fell into the clock tower. Gwen Stacy, protected by Tony Stark's body, did not suffer much harm, only some scrapes.
The two fell onto a beam inside the clock tower. Tony Stark grimaced. The Iron Man Suit could withstand an explosion of this magnitude, but his right arm was not armored at the time. Although it did not suffer direct blast damage, it inevitably bumped during the fall. Now, Tony Stark felt as if his right arm might be fractured.
"Beautiful, you shouldn't be too hurt. Now, find a safe place to hide. That Goblin is not to be trifled with!"
"Thank you, unknown Iron Man!" Gwen Stacy wasn't one to be coy. After a word of thanks, she turned and walked towards a ladder.
"Neither of you are getting away!"
Harry Osborn's roar came, and several more pumpkin bombs were thrown through the hole in the clock tower, landing at Tony Stark's feet.
"Oh, sh*t!"
Tony Stark quickly pounced on Gwen Stacy, who was still walking towards the ladder.
The explosion engulfed the two again.
"Jarvis, grab her!"
The clock tower was damaged again, and this time the beam also broke. Tony Stark, with his flight device, was unaffected, but Gwen Stacy, being an ordinary person, could only begin another free fall.
By the time Tony Stark reacted, Gwen Stacy had already been falling for some time.
The iron suit flashed down like a streak of light.
"Sir, at this speed, we won't be able to catch Miss Stacy in time. Without a buffer, Miss Stacy simply cannot withstand that kind of acceleration!"
"Then go faster and catch her early!"
"Sir, we won't be able to stop either."
"Go after her!"
"Understood."
Tony Stark stared intently at the falling Gwen Stacy. This scene reminded him of the cave in Afghanistan, where Ethan had died in front of him in the same way, and he had been powerless.
Under the acceleration of the thrusters, the distance between Tony Stark and Gwen Stacy narrowed, now only one meter, but Gwen Stacy was less than two meters from the ground.
"It's too late!"
Tony Stark regretted.
Just as Gwen Stacy was about to hit the ground, a huge dark shadow darted out from the side, protecting the falling Gwen Stacy with its soft paws, and simultaneously flung Tony Stark away.
"What the hell is that!"
Tony Stark was startled by the sudden appearance of the Kuro. Jarvis had already initiated an emergency dodge, but was still sent flying by the Kuro.
"Meow, I think I just hit a metal lump."
Kuro had been sent by Makima and Lionel to save Gwen Stacy.
Originally, it was supposed to directly subdue Harry Osborn and rescue Gwen Stacy, but Tony Stark arrived before Kuro could act. Interested in Tony Stark's metal lump, it watched from the side, wanting to see how capable this metal lump was, and then saw the metal lump and Gwen Stacy fall.
Its orders were to save Gwen Stacy, not some metal lump that appeared out of nowhere, so it had only protected Gwen Stacy and knocked the metal lump away.
What a big black cat!
The still-shaken Gwen Stacy found herself held in the paws of a black cat-like creature as large as a truck. The cat's eyes were red, and on closer inspection, they seemed to burn with Fire, as if they could scorch one's soul.
Just now, Gwen Stacy truly believed she was going to die. Her father's image flashed through her mind, followed by the conversation she had with Peter on the bridge, and she regretted not going to London with Peter.
"I can still go to London with Peter, it just needs to be postponed for a while." Gwen Stacy began to fantasize about her life in London with Peter.
Kuro said with some impatience, "If you're fine, get down from this king."
"You can talk!"
Gwen Stacy awkwardly climbed down from the Kuro's paw, and cautiously said:
"Thank you, little—big cat?" Gwen Stacy hesitated for a moment on what to call the Kuro.
"Where did this stray cat come from? Why is everyone trying to stop me?"
Harry Osborn, seeing another person come to save Gwen Stacy, his already unstable mind became even more frenzied. Ignoring the Kuro's unnatural size, he threw two more pumpkin bombs.
"More of those exploding candies."
In the Kuro's eyes, those bombs were like bubbles blown by children, moving at a pathetically slow pace.
Opening its mouth, the two pumpkin bombs were directly swallowed by the Kuro.
