"Ivan, stop it."
Ivan was shocked: "It's you?!"
A part of the unmanned aerial vehicles was hurriedly separated to stop Lock.
The moment the Iron Warrior blocked Lock's sight, Ivan turned around and ran away.
Lock had left an indelible impression on him when he dug out his heart in prison.
In addition, Lock was in the sky just now, tearing the Iron Warriors apart like pieces of paper, which shocked him deeply.
He could still fight Iron Man and War Machine, and even have a chance of winning, but against such monsters, he wouldn't even have a one-in-a-hundred chance.
He is not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean he will die without thinking.
Lock was speechless. This is so inconsistent with Ivan's tough appearance and temperament. What if he would rather die than surrender?
Lock scattered the Iron Warriors blocking him, and with a sound explosion, he was already blocking Ivan.
Ivan was so frightened that the two electric whips in his hands were blazing with dazzling light, and he swung them towards Lock. The vegetation next to him was cut into two pieces by the electric whips.
At the same time, all the weapon systems on the armor were turned on. For a moment, countless bullets, lasers, and micro-missiles were all fired towards Lock.
Lock did not dodge; he grabbed an electric whip in each hand, held Ivan back, and then dodged the remaining weapons.
There was a "boom, boom, boom..." sound, and countless flames erupted from Lock's position. The explosion formed a huge fireball, and the shock wave even broke the dome of the botanical garden.
When the fireball disappeared, Lock slowly appeared.
These weapons did not harm him, but the steel suit was damaged.
It seems that at this stage, Ivan's technical strength is not much worse than Iron Man's.
Lock removed the damaged suit, and the hard super alloy shattered in his hands.
"Ivan, let's end this matter." Lock said, "The grudge between your father and Tony's father was originally caused by the collision of two superpowers. There is no question of who is right and who is wrong."
The confrontation between great powers has threatened many ordinary people. This is the tragedy of the times. The power of individuals is insignificant in the current era.
It's just that Tony's father is in the winning country of the United States, so he naturally rises to great heights and becomes as rich as the enemy.
As for Ivan's father, the empire disintegrated and the economy collapsed. In the end, he was unable to recover and died of depression.
"Hmph! If I failed today, I won't be prepared to leave the United States alive." Ivan said.
Lock looked at him playfully: "Really? Then what were you running from just now?"
Ivan had no choice but to see this monster in front of him. He couldn't fight or escape. He couldn't even get up the courage to argue. He had no choice but to say: "What do you want? Do you want to resolve the grudge between me and Stark?"
"No, the grudge between you and Tony is not worth mentioning. There will be greater changes in the future, and top scientists like you are needed to protect mankind."
Hearing this, Ivan lowered his guard slightly.
Lock had visited him in prison before, grabbed his heart directly, and then used a bottle of magical potion to restore him to his original state.
Such shocking methods had shaken his understanding of the world.
Listening to what Lock said again, is it possible that mankind is facing a big crisis?
War Machine, Iron Man, Ivan, and others are all the elites among the elites, and there is still a pattern that should be there.
In the face of the great crisis of mankind, their grievances are indeed not worth mentioning, not to mention that it is not a mortal feud in the first place.
Now, after all this trouble, Hammer's resentment has almost been vented.
Apart from cheating Hammer Company, not many people were harmed.
"Lock, is there a big crisis for mankind? Is it a nuclear war?" Iron Man asked.
War Machine shook his head: "I serve in the military. Currently, several nuclear powers are very restrained towards each other and are unlikely to fight a nuclear war."
"Okay, don't guess. I won't tell you, but soon, you will find all kinds of clues."
Lock said to Ivan again, "Because of our obstruction today, no substantial casualties were caused. You can still turn back."
Ivan was silent. Although he admitted defeat, he still couldn't let go of wanting him to join his opponent immediately.
Seeing this, Lock added another fire: "If you don't agree, I will threaten you."
Iron Man was stunned. Lock wanted to torture Ivan. This was not like his character.
Every time a disaster occurs, Lock is always the one who is most active in saving people. No matter how you look at it, he is not the one who uses bloody methods.
Ivan was equally astonished: "I'm not afraid of death. Why are you threatening me?"
"If you die and escape, I will roast your bird and eat it."
"How did you know I had a bird?"
After his father died, Ivan's only concern in the world was his pet bird.
When he was invited by Hammer Company, he repeatedly asked Hammer to help him find the bird.
As a result, Hammer didn't pay attention at all, so he went to the market and bought a replacement in a perfunctory manner. He thought Hammer was a fool and lied to him: "This is your bird."
This made Ivan very angry, and he had no good impression of Hammer Company.
Little did Hammer know that he had missed the only opportunity that might have made Ivan surrender. If he had been polite and taken Ivan's request seriously, the situation might not be like this today.
Lock said, "Not only do I know it, but I also got it. I haven't had time to taste what it tastes like yet."
"How dare you!" Ivan shouted angrily, "It's very human. How can you even speak of such an animal? Is there any humanity left?!"
Lock shrugged: "It's not my bird. I have no feelings for it. In my eyes, it is no different from ordinary poultry. If no one wants it, then I will roast it and eat it."
After pondering for a moment, Ivan asked: "Where is my bird?"
Ivan knew that since the other party knew about his bird, he must have been prepared.
Lock looked around and shouted, "Yinsen, are you there?"
I saw Yinsen slowly appearing from behind a boulder in the distance, holding a birdcage in his hand. When he heard Lock shouting, he ran over quickly: "Mr. Lock, the bird is here. Tony, long time no see."
Iron Man stepped forward and gave him a solid hug: "Long time no see, Yinsen."
Although it is not convenient for Iron Man to arrange for Yinsen to join his company, he has been in constant contact with him these days.
The laboratory they are in does not keep Iron Man a secret, but Lock hopes that Dr. Stern and Yinsen can get some inspiration from Iron Man.
Lock said, "After the news of your arrest spread back to Siberia, the neighbor who was entrusted to take care of it has long since ignored your bird. If my people hadn't arrived in time, it might have starved to death."
War Machine was confused at the beginning. What were these two guys talking about?
Birds came and went, and those who didn't know thought that the two grown men were talking about some private topic.
It wasn't until Yinsen came out with the birdcage that War Machine confirmed that the two grown men were talking about a pet bird.
But, using a bird to threaten Ivan into surrender? Isn't this too ridiculous?
However, what Ivan said next surprised him.
Ivan took off his armor, walked over to take the birdcage, and bowed his head slightly: "Thank you. You saved it, and I am willing to do things for you, but I will not associate with the Stark family."
War Machine's heart was filled with 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past. If I had known it would be so easy, what was the purpose of fighting life and death just now?
Wouldn't it be over if I took it out early?
He is from the military, and this time, he is mainly responsible for contacting Hammer Company to discuss weapons procurement. Iron Warrior is designed and manufactured according to the requirements of the military.
After such a big accident, the amount of public property destroyed alone was incalculable, and it was inevitable that he would be punished when he returned home.
I don't know how to write this report again. Do I want to write that the villain was finally defeated by a bird?
"Don't worry, Tony and I are just friends and not part of an organization. However, if humanity encounters a major crisis in the future, we will need to work together."
"The crisis of mankind is none of my business! I promise to work for you, just to prove that Ivan will not lose to the Stark family."
In this way, a talented scientist who was initially comparable to Iron Man was taken under Lock's command.
As for this farce, everyone tacitly placed all the responsibility on Hammer Company.
Poor Hammer, after this incident, not only failed to bring any benefits to the company, but also angered a large number of powerful people. Now he is going to jail, and there is no one to mediate for him.
...
After the incident ended, Iron Man's reputation reached a new peak.
At the press conference, the dignitaries and reporters who were saved by Lock in a sky blue suit all attributed the credit to Iron Man. Naturally, Iron Man was praised in various media outlets.
For a time, media and newspapers all over the world were full of articles and videos praising Iron Man.
Iron Man originally wanted to hold a press conference to clarify, but was stopped by Lock.
He doesn't need these reputations, but Iron Man does.
The Avengers of the future need a reputable person to lead them, and Iron Man is naturally the core figure.
Iron Man and War Machine didn't know Lock's plan. Seeing that Lock was so indifferent to fame and fortune, their trust in him increased by a few percentage points.
Lock took stock of the harvest and found that he had saved many people this time and had several hundred more bottles of recovery potions. The previous consumption of Iron Man was compensated.
The plot of "Iron Man 2" has ended, and Lock feels it's time to leave.
...
New Mexico, a desert town.
Lock put on his battle clothes, flew to the edge of the upper town, and landed quietly.
If the original plot has not changed, Thor is already in the town at this time.
The reason why Thor came to Earth is a long story.
