Russell knew why Tony was so excited, but that didn't mean he was in a good mood after being woken up by the phone call.
So what if he built the Iron Man suit? What's there to be excited about!
I have the Symbiote Armor, did you see me getting excited?
Sigh...
He's already so old, yet he's still like a child, not steady at all!
After hanging up the phone, Russell rubbed his eyes and got out of bed to wash up.
Diana hadn't come home yet, so there was no one to make breakfast.
Russell didn't want to cook himself, so he decisively chose to eat out at a restaurant.
After having a relatively authentic Chinese breakfast at a Chinese restaurant outside, he leisurely drove to the lab.
It wasn't even eleven o'clock yet, so there was no need to rush.
Upon arriving at the lab, he first played Berserker's Creed for an hour before taking the Symbiote Prototype Unit from the system space.
With a thought, the silver-white Symbiote Prototype Unit turned into a mercury-like liquid and quickly flew towards him.
It only took a few seconds for him to complete the suit's donning.
After putting on the suit, he didn't leave the lab immediately but transformed the suit into its Zaku form.
Military green body color, light blue helmet.
After transforming into the Zaku form, he took out the beam rifle and heat hawk from the system space and closed all the external weapon ports on the back.
He was just going to spar with Tony's Iron Man suit; he didn't need that much firepower.
After attaching the beam rifle and heat hawk to the suit, he wore the suit and went up to the roof.
Flight system activated!
Blue and white exhaust flames shot out from the suit's legs, and Russell flew into the sky like a rocket.
Although the Zaku form looked a bit clunky, it didn't affect the suit's inherent performance.
Looking at the various data displayed on his helmet, Russell didn't hesitate and flew towards the location of the mansion Tony had sent him.
Tony had many mansions in New York.
New York's high property prices were as cheap as supermarket fruit in front of him.
Tony was currently living in a mansion in the northern suburbs of New York, far from the city center, with beautiful surroundings.
After flying here according to the address Tony sent, Russell in the suit slightly frowned.
This place looks a bit familiar!
Although the buildings on the ground were slightly different from what he remembered, and there were no giant Avengers logos on the roof and walls, no matter how he looked at it, it strongly resembled the Avengers' New York Headquarters.
But then again, the Avengers Headquarters was originally contributed by Tony, so it wasn't particularly strange for Tony to be here now.
Just as he was hovering in the air, looking down at the surroundings, a red figure rapidly flew towards him.
Mark 3!
Seeing Tony wearing the Mark 3 flying rapidly towards him, information about the Mark 3 quickly flashed through Russell's mind.
Height 1.98 meters, weight about 90 kilograms, power source is the Palladium Arc Reactor Mark 2.
Weapons include the Arc Pulse Cannon Mark 1 in the palms, a chest-mounted unibeam, miniature missiles installed in the arms, decoy flares in the legs, and six-barreled miniguns on the shoulders.
Enhanced composite armor made of gold-titanium alloy, capable of withstanding rifle and tank main gun attacks.
Assembly method is fully mechanized.
Maximum flight speed can reach supersonic, but below Mach 2.5, unable to outrun a Sidewinder missile by speed alone.
"You're right on time!"
After flying in front of Russell, Tony activated the radio communication function and said to Russell.
"I don't like being late!"
Based solely on outward appearance, the Mark 3 Tony was currently wearing wasn't any different from the one in his memory.
But he didn't know if Tony had added any other weapons.
"Your Zaku suit is quite different from the one sold to the military, is it a special custom version?"
Although the Mark 3 and the Zaku form of the Symbiote Prototype Unit looked completely different, Tony always felt that the chest and palms of the Prototype Unit looked a bit familiar.
No, it wasn't just the chest and palms that looked familiar.
The main flight engines in the legs and the auxiliary engines on the back were also very similar to the Mark 3.
If the color of the exhaust flames wasn't different, Tony would have suspected that Russell had adopted the exact same flight engine design concept as himself.
"No, this isn't a special custom version, this is the prototype!"
Russell answered with a smile.
"Prototype? The Zaku suits you sold to the military are nowhere near as good as this set you have now!"
Although Tony didn't know how many functions the suit Russell was wearing had, just by looking at the suit's current flight posture, he knew that the Zaku suits Russell sold to the military were weakened by more than just a little bit.
"I didn't deceive them on performance; they already knew the Zaku suit's performance parameters before purchasing."
Russell said nonchalantly.
The Zaku suits the military bought were indeed low-spec versions, but he hadn't misled the military.
He had provided the technical parameters and performance data from the beginning.
The military also made the final decision to purchase the low-spec Zaku suits after conducting practical combat acceptance tests.
"You dare to sell the low-spec version for 120 million, it's a shame you didn't go into business!"
Tony said with a hint of emotion.
"You get what you pay for, why wouldn't I dare!"
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Didn't you say your suit's performance is better than mine? How about a comparison?"
Russell slowly said to Tony.
"Compare then, I'm not afraid of you!"
"How do you want to compare?"
Tony quickly replied.
"Since they're both suits, it's definitely about combat performance. Don't tell me your suit isn't equipped with a weapon system."
"Alright!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony raised his hands and aimed the Arc Pulse Cannons in his palms at Russell.
He seemed to have guessed Russell would say this all along.
Without any hesitation, Tony decisively launched an attack.
Beam-like energy flew towards Russell like lightning.
The moment Tony raised his hands, Russell knew what this guy was planning.
Without waiting for the Arc Pulse Cannon to hit him, he decisively controlled the suit.
The Zaku-shaped Prototype Unit dodged to the side, easily avoiding the Arc Pulse Cannon's attack.
The next second, Russell raised his right hand and aimed his palm at Tony.
He also had the Arc Pulse Cannon in his palm, and it was even more powerful!
Although Tony saw Russell's movement, he underestimated the Arc Pulse Cannon on the Prototype Unit's palm.
Compared to the Mark 1 Arc Pulse Cannon he was currently using, the Arc Pulse Cannon on the Prototype Unit's palm didn't require any charging.
As soon as Russell's palm was aimed at Tony, he fired decisively.
Bang!
The beam-like energy accurately hit Tony, causing him to tumble awkwardly while flying.
Tony wasn't surprised that his flight posture was disrupted.
However, he never expected that Russell's Arc Pulse Cannon would directly penetrate the Mark 3's composite defensive armor.
Looking at the fist-sized hole in his chest, Tony's expression turned somewhat ugly.
