Countless people watched from Tony's point of view, and an uproar instantly rippled across the audience.
"What are those things?!"
"Tony's suit?"
"I get it! Tony must've let others wear them to support him!"
"Haha, we're saved!"
"As expected, Tony had something prepared!"
Under the shroud of night, a streak of light cut across the sky, racing toward the ship. Flames burst from dozens of thrusters as an entire squadron of suits soared overhead, forming a glowing ring in the air. The spectacle was nothing short of breathtaking.
[Tony patted Rhodes on the shoulder and said, "Merry Christmas, Buddy."]
[Rhodes stared blankly at the suit above. He just said a lot of support, but did not expect it to arrive now. And the support is countless sets of armor.]
Every viewer watching this unfolding scene felt an electric shock of excitement. Each suit had formidable combat capability, and with this many, who couldn't they defeat?
Inside the office of Essen Heavy Industry Group, Astor's team had been anticipating the arrival of Tony's suits. Now, confronted with their sheer number, the entire room fell silent. Everyone fixed their eyes on the screen, their expressions tightening as if someone gripped their throats.
"Mr. Astor… Tony built far more suits than we did."
"And look at the models, so many different types, each with unique functions!"
"This wave of support is… overwhelming!"
In the Council chamber, the Councilors were equally stunned, unable to hide their awe.
Councilor Sith's voice trembled: "I hope our plan succeeds soon. Then we'll have equipment like that…"
The other Councilors nodded fervently. "Yes!"
[On the ship and on the container, terrorists shone with molten lava. Looking at the suits in the sky, they were also a little confused and bewildered.]
[Tony said to Jarvis: "Jarvis, target the Extremis heat signature and disable with extreme prejudice."]
[Jarvis responded: "Yes, sir!"]
[Immediately, all the suits began to scan the heat signal, locate, and eradicate.]
[Tony said to Rhodes, "What are you waiting for? It's Christmas."]
[Tony raised his hands and said, "Take them to church!"]
[As soon as the voice fell, all the suits began to move.]
[A suit rushed into the group. It is automatically disassembled during the rotation, and each part becomes an attacking weapon. It knocked several people flying and reassembled them in the air. All the armors started to move, and various attacks and explosions sounded everywhere. ]
"Wow! Is someone inside that one?!"
"Is Jarvis controlling them remotely?"
"Beautiful!"
"Yo, yo! That suit was amazing!"
[Suddenly, a wire rope broke. Tony hurriedly said, "Jarvis, send Igor to steady this thing!"]
[In a violent crash, containers were crushed. A battle armor that is thicker than other armors is moving at extreme speed. Mark 38, heavy armor.]
[Boom, boom, boom! Mark 38 rushed over, and his shoulders resisted the steel plate that was about to fall. The armor's spine bounces off the support structure and creates a perfect load-bearing.]
"Damn!"
"I love this armor!"
"Too awesome!"
[Rhodes smiled and said to Tony, "Is this how you have been managing your downtime, huh?"]
[Tony warns everyone around: "Everybody needs a hobby."]
[Tony hides beside the container and directs Jarvis, "Heartbreaker, go help the red snapper out, will ya?"]
[In the sky, an enemy has jumped on the red snapper. The head of the red snapper was twisted off and fell into the container. A violent explosion occurs.]
[It was just that the container that was hit was the same container that was holding Pepper, and half of the container shattered.]
[Tony hurriedly put on a suit. Mark 33, silver centurion, energy booster suit.]
[On the side, Rhodes said: "Awesome! Give me a suit, okay?"]
[Tony said, "Oh, sorry, they are all coded to me."]
[Saying that, Tony flew away. Immediately after a suit landed, Jarvis' voice came: "Good evening, Colonel, can I give you a lift?"]
[The suit sent Rhodes to the platform above. In another area, suddenly, several enemies with high temperatures rushed over.]
[Bang! An even larger suit landed to the side. The two arms are not in the form of a regular human hand; it is the kind of ground-penetrating steel drill of heavy engineering vehicles. Mark 25, Raider, heavy construction suit. The energy erupts from the raider, and huge mechanical impact hammers slam into the steel bridge.]
[Boom! The steel bridge broke, and two enemies bounced off. The impact hammers of the suits hit the bodies of the two fallen people.]
[Bang! The two of them were knocked out in an instant.]
[Jarvis's voice sounded: "Sir, I have located Miss Pepper."]
[Tony's eyes were firm: "It's time."]
[Tony controlled the suit and quickly flew to the place where Pepper was located. Pepper is being pressed by a lot of steel. Tony raised his hand to take it away.]
[Pepper hurriedly said, "Stop! Put it down! Put it down!"]
[Tony opened his mask and said to him, "Look what happens when you go out with my ex-girlfriend."]
[Pepper breathed a sigh of relief: "You are an idiot."]
["Okay, let's talk about that at dinner." Tony reached out and pulled Pepper out, "Stretch out your hand."]
[Just as he was about to grab Pepper's hand, suddenly, a hot hand penetrated directly under the steel plate and went onto Tony's armor rib cage.]
[Bang! Killian melted the steel and drilled out of it, "Is this guy bothering you?"]
[Jump straight to Tony, Killian's fingers glowed red with high temperature and pressed on the armor.]
["Is it hot in there?" Killian looked hideous. He wanted to torture Tony to death, "She's still watching. I think you should close your eyes, close your eyes. Close your eyes, you don't want to see this."]
[Killian clenched his fists, and the temperature on his body instantly increased. Just as he was about to punch Tony, a sharp bayonet popped out of the suit's arm and cut off Killian's arm.]
[Killian roared in pain. However, the high temperature of the broken arm remained, which melted the steel plate.]
[The wire rope switch of the heavy machinery transport was opened, and Pepper was pressed at one end and quickly squeezed towards a platform.]
[Tony hurriedly took off the scrapped armor. Seeing that Pepper is about to hit the other end, Tony said while running: "Jarvis, give me a suit."]
[A suit flew quickly and opened. Tony was about to jump in when a stray bullet sent the suit flying. Stumbling to the ground, Tony was annoyed: "Quick!"]
[Tony ran very fast, chasing Pepper on the equipment platform. Finally, just before the impact, he came under Pepper.]
[Tony stretched out his hand and said, "I got you. Relax, I got you. Just look at me."]
The viewers were breathless with tension. If Pepper died here, hearts everywhere would break.
"Let the armor catch her!"
"Too many enemies!"
"Come on, Tony! Pepper, hold on!"
[With the device platform quickly squeezed. Suddenly, the platform made a huge tremo,r and Pepper fell. Tony stretched out his hand and couldn't reach her. Pepper fell and was consumed by the flames burning below.]
[Tony screamed, "No!"]
[Tony's face showed a heart-wrenching, pained expression. Pepper just disappeared in front of him.]
A heavy silence fell over the observers. Many covered their mouths, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
"Pepper… the one Tony always tries to protect…"
"How could she die like that?"
"Nooo!"
"Tony must be shattered…"
Pepper's fall pierced the hearts of the viewers, filling them with anger toward Killian. Without him, none of this tragedy would have unfolded.
[Killian stepped up the stairs, and the lava on his body was even brighter. Tony looked at the area covered in flames, full of anger.]
[Killian said to Tony, "A shame, I would have caught her."]
[Tony's face hardened. He charged furiously toward Killian. Killian radiated scorching heat, leapt, and aimed a strike at Tony. Tony slipped beneath the attack, rising sharply to his feet.]
[A suit arrived next to him. Mark 16 suit, Nightclub. Killian is bare-handed, and Tony is armored. The two sparked every time they attacked. Part of the structure of the suit was blasted open by Killian's Molten Fist.]
[Tony raised his fist sharply and hit Killian's left hand with all his strength.]
[Bang! Hammered his bones, and Killian showed a pained expression.]
