When Chen Tian and the others stepped out of the Dark Dimension rift, the stench of blood in the Badong-Li Yue Cold Inner Furnace slum had not yet dissipated, and countless Arbitrators robots were shuttling through the ruins, their blue and white mechanical arms precisely clearing battlefield debris. The air was filled with a pungent smell of decay mixed with blood.
"My Lord~" Lia crushed a charred skull, "These iron lumps clean up quite nicely!"
Chen Tian did not answer, and 2B's clear voice directly entered his ear: "Master, Mr. Stark has encountered a small problem in Devon County, and he hopes you can send some people to help."
"Vergil," he said without looking back, "I'll trouble you."
Vergil nodded silently, drew Yamato, and made a cross in the air, opening a spatial portal. Before Vergil entered, he paused, turned to look at Chen Tian, "Kid, don't go too far with what's next."
Chen Tian said with a smile, "I know."
Vergil nodded, walked into the portal, and as his figure disappeared, the portal closed.
Bayonetta's body, soft as if boneless, clung to Chen Tian's shoulder. Her slender fingers gently traced Chen Tian's chin, and her red lips whispered in his ear: "My dear Lord~ Where shall we go for fun next?"
Chen Tian did not answer immediately, but instead spoke to Lia.
"Lia."
The girl who was kicking mechanical debris with her toes immediately looked up: "Yes, My Lord."
"This next occasion is not suitable for you to appear," Chen Tian said with a smile, "Return to the Summoning Space, I'm already updating your tablet."
"Okay!" Lia's eyes lit up, "My Lord, I'll go back now."
Bayonetta chuckled, twirling a strand of her hair with her fingertips: "The little devil is truly a child."
"A child?" Lia heard Bayonetta's words, revealing an evil smile, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, "Heh, you smell so good, Bayonetta~ Big~ Sister~"
Bayonetta covered her mouth and giggled: "Sister knows~ Little~ Sister."
Chen Tian rubbed his Sun temple helplessly and snapped his fingers crisply.
"My Lord, remember to send me some cola and potato chips!"
As Lia finished speaking, her figure began to rapidly disappear from her feet, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser. Finally, only a wisp of red mist hovered in the air for a few circles before completely dissipating.
Bayonetta looked at the red mist remaining after Lia disappeared, and a charming curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She pressed her entire body against Chen Tian's back again, almost without a gap, her red lips touching his earlobe: "Little~ Sister~ is gone..." Her warm breath carried the scent of violets, "Do you want to experience the charm of Big Sister? Lord~"
Chen Tian sighed, reaching out to press down her restless fingers: "Bayonetta, we still have somewhere to go."
"Oh?" The witch agilely turned in front of him, the tip of her high heel touching his boot, "Where shall we go for fun?"
"East Capital," Chen Tian suddenly showed an evil smile. He was looking forward to causing a big stir in East Capital.
Bayonetta's eyes lit up slightly: "Now?" She deliberately rubbed her knee against his leg, "In what capacity?"
"Now." Chen Tian snapped his fingers, "As an Adjudicator."
"Then~" She hooked her arm through Chen Tian's, "Shall we go for a dance?"
Chen Tian looked at the witch, who exuded a fatal allure, and suddenly smiled: "As you wish."
——
Speaking of earlier.
At an altitude of 50,000 meters, inside the Deathwing's cabin.
A holographic map unfolded in the center of the cabin, and a three-dimensional projection of Devon County appeared. Tony swiped his fingertip, and the city outline magnified—streets, buildings, squares, densely packed red dots squirming like an ant colony.
"Mephisto's followers," Tony tapped the projection, and the red dots instantly connected into a sea of blood, "The entire city is."
Steve stared at the map, his knuckles pressing against the edge of the holy box: "Civilians?"
"According to the intelligence gathered previously," Beast Hank pushed up his glasses, "Either they have already become sacrifices and been offered, or they are being held captive, awaiting sacrifice."
Cyclops tightened the bandages on his body, "Direct bombing?"
"No," Banner shook his head, "There are still civilians in Devon County, roughly," Banner zoomed in on the image, "about 1,000."
Dante sat with his legs crossed on an ammo box, tossing a silver coin: "So? Stealth? Full assault? Or—" He suddenly pinched the coin, grinning, "—I jump down and start a party?"
"Plan A." Tony tapped the panel, and the Deathwing's bottom hatch slowly opened, cold wind pouring in, "Dante leads the charge, Banner prepares the 'Hulk insurance,' Pietro is responsible for finding the captive civilians, and the 'Valkyrie Array' robots will assist Pietro in rescuing the civilians. The rest of you—" He glanced at Steve, "—follow the Golden Lion to crash the party."
Steve silently put on his helmet, golden light flowing: "Don't destroy the core buildings before we find Bucky."
"Received, Captain." Iceman Bobby raised his hand, pointing out the porthole, "But, we're at 50,000 meters, how do we get down?"
Dante had already stood up and pressed the hatch open button. He stood at the edge of the hatch, his coat fluttering in the strong wind.
He gave everyone his signature mischievous grin, "Of course—we jump!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly leaned backward, his arms spread like a cross, and plummeted headfirst towards Devon County, 50,000 meters below.
"You heard what the Red-Clad Uncle said." Tony's face mask closed, his gold and red armor changing color in the hatch lights, "But I suggest..."
He tapped his wrist, and several storage compartments on the cabin ceiling suddenly opened, and a dozen silver-white jetpacks slid down, "...wear this improved 'Angel's Wings,' after all, not everyone is a pervert like Dante."
With that, the mechanical wings on his back suddenly unfurled, spraying photons, carrying Tony out of the cabin.
Steve took the backpack and looked at Beast: "Hank, you and Scott stay at—"
"I know." Beast was already sitting in front of the main console, his furry fingers flying across the keyboard, "I'll feed real-time intelligence into each of your ears." He pointed to his bandaged right leg, "Though I really want to tear apart a few demons..."
Cyclops gave a bitter smile, "That's the only way. Hank and I will provide you with air support."
Pietro had already put on the jetpack and a full-face transparent mask. "I recommend you wear this mask. Jarvis can control the backpack through the mask so we don't deviate from the landing spot." He adjusted the mask, "Don't ask me how I know, I landed off course in York before."
"I'm going ahead!" A silver flash, and a sonic boom cloud burst open at the hatch.
——
In the air, several figures glided through the clouds, trailing long white streaks.
Tony's thrusters spewed blue flames: "Jarvis, control the 'Valkyrie Array' to cooperate with Pietro."
"Received, Sir."
Several figures broke through the clouds, and the entire Devon County squirmed under the bloody sky. The cultists on the ground looked up simultaneously, millions of pale faces cracking into grins.
"Party time—!" Dante's body erupted with crimson demonic power, and his Baroque gauntlets ignited with Hellfire.
He crashed into the crowd like a meteor, creating a twenty-meter-wide crater in the ground, and the cultists who were there were reduced to countless piles of mud.
Tony's shoulder armor popped open, and thirty-six miniature missiles, trailing flames, poured down.
Laser swords popped out of his wrists, slicing through three lunging abominations, and his left palm cannon blasted the fourth into minced meat.
The ground suddenly swelled. Hulk tore through the asphalt and leaped out, his green giant fist smashing three demons into the ground. "Hulk—smash!" He grabbed a car and swung it, sending a dozen cultists flying like bowling pins.
Steve's golden cape fluttered in the blood rain. A monster with six arms lunged, but he dodged it sideways, his gauntlet piercing directly through its chest. "Hank, core building coordinates?"
"Cathedral at ten o'clock!" Beast's roar came through the earpiece, "Watch out for those glowing—"
Before he finished, Pietro transformed into a silver flash, weaving through the crowd. Each time he paused, he precisely slit a cultist's throat, but was suddenly grabbed by the ankle by a glowing entity. "Damn it!" The glowing entity was shot and exploded.
Dante blew the smoke from his pistol, spinning and firing his dual guns between his fingers. Bullets cut helical trajectories through seven enemies, and the last two blasted flying demons lunging at Banner.
Tens of thousands of demon cultists surged like a tide, their twisted limbs and grotesque faces filling the entire street, as if the gates of hell had been completely opened.
Tony suddenly pulled up, and the six mechanical wings on his back instantly separated, transforming into six golden streams of light suspended in mid-air.
"[Dragonfly] attack."
The next second, the mechanical wings unfurled, and countless laser beams rained down like a storm, the beams drawing intersecting grids on the ground. The cultists didn't even have time to scream before they evaporated into ash in the high heat, the entire area instantly cleared, leaving only scorched earth and rising black smoke.
Steve stood in the center of the battlefield, the golden light of his Golden Armor radiating dazzling brilliance under the bloody sky. He took a deep breath, drew his right fist to his waist, and the runes on his gauntlet suddenly lit up.
"Lightning—Beam Fist!"
With a punch, the golden fist-wind transformed into countless meteor-like Impact waves, erupting forward in a fan shape. The cultists' bodies were torn apart the moment they touched the fist-light, flesh and severed limbs exploding like waves, forcefully blasting a burning vacuum zone through the enemy tide.
And the most flamboyant, was always Dante.
His left hand, Ebony, fired continuously, bullets precisely hitting headshots, while his right hand, Ivory, spun and fired, the bullets drawing magnificent arcs, piercing the foreheads of three cultists. At the same time, he flipped backward, Rebellion drawn from his back, and slashed horizontally—the blade light was like a blood-red crescent moon, instantly cutting all enemies within a hundred meters in half at the waist!
"Hey, you guys are too slow!"
He grinned, then suddenly switched weapons, and the demonic artifact, Faust Hat, appeared in his hand. With a powerful flick—countless purple energy blades scattered like rain, each one precisely piercing the enemies' heads, nailing all cultists within three hundred meters to the ground!
Immediately after, he slid to the other side, Rebellion plunged into the ground, using the leverage to leap into the air, and his dual guns opened fire again—bullets drew helical trajectories in the air, each one precisely point-killing distant sniper demons, and three bullets even collided and split in mid-flight, simultaneously piercing the eye sockets of twelve targets!
"Tony, are you done clearing your side?"
Dante flipped in mid-air, landing steadily, Rebellion resting on his shoulder, his tone as relaxed as if he were on vacation.
Tony's mechanical wings returned to their original position, and the corner of his mouth under the mask curled slightly: "Three seconds faster than you."
"Ha! That's not necessarily—"
Before Dante finished speaking, he suddenly turned sideways, Rebellion slashing down fiercely—the demonic power bursting from the blade instantly cut a tall demon lunging from the shadows, along with hundreds of its followers behind it, in half. The aftermath even split a distant clock tower in two!
"—I can kill three thousand more!"
He laughed wildly, scarlet demonic power boiling around him, the Balrog gauntlets burning with Hellfire, and he slammed a fist into the ground—the entire street shattered with a roar, hundreds of cultists were Zhencheng blood mist, and the Impact even overturned the houses by the roadside.
"Hulk—smash!" Hulk slammed the deformed car wreckage in his hand into the ground, which trembled.
He stared at the huge empty area blasted out by Dante in the distance, then looked at the scorched earth cleared by Tony's laser, stomping his foot like a sulking child: "Nobody plays with Hulk!"
Suddenly, three four-meter-tall lava demons emerged from underground. Before they could even spew flames, Hulk's eyes lit up. "This is fun!" He directly grabbed the horn of the foremost demon and swung it around to smash the other two. The three bodies exploded into burning fragments in the violent collision. Hulk stepped on the still twitching limbs, letting out a victorious roar to the sky.
In the underground altar of Devon County Cathedral, the crystal ball in William von Klaus's hand trembled violently.
In the image, Dante was using Rebellion to toss twenty cultists into the air, the blade light cutting the fountain statue in half.
"This is impossible..." His pale fingers dug into the armrest of the throne. "The Hellfire power obtained by sacrificing nine thousand souls, actually..."
The friction of metal joints came from the shadows. The demon armor walked to his side, its faceplate opening to reveal Bucky's half-face covered in scarlet keratin, his demonized left eye flickering with a dark glow: "Release 'that'," he said, "just in time to test the toy you exchanged for."
William's scepter struck the ground heavily, and the blood pool in the center of the altar began to boil. Countless skeletons floated up from the bottom of the pool, piecing together into a mountain-like outline. "As you wish, Mr. Barnes. Let them witness... the true abyss."
— — — —
The ground in Devon County suddenly trembled violently, and the asphalt road shattered like a fragile eggshell.
Dante did a backflip to avoid a sudden eruption of magma pillars. "Wow, finally something decent—"
Before he finished speaking, the ground of the entire city collapsed with a roar! A giant demon, three hundred meters tall, slowly rose from underground. Its entire body was crimson, covered in constantly flowing lava patterns. The demon's head had two twisted horns, and it had no eyes; its entire face was a gaping maw full of sharp fangs.
"Demon energy is off the charts." A stream of data flashed across Tony's mask, and his mechanical wings fully extended. "Everyone, it seems we've blasted out the Boss."
Hulk roared, leaping out of the ruins, steam rising from his body. He charged directly at the demon's ankle, his green giant fist slamming hard onto the demon's knee—but it only made the behemoth sway slightly.
The demon casually lifted its foot and kicked, and Hulk was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through three high-rise buildings consecutively.
"Hulk—unhappy!" An angry roar came from afar.
Dante had already leapt into the air, stepping on splashing debris, his twin guns firing continuously at the demon's head: "The party's climax is here!"
Bullets exploded into sparks on the demon's face, creating small craters. He suddenly drew Rebellion, using the force of his descent to carve a ten-meter-long wound on the demon's arm, dark purple blood gushing out like a waterfall.
"Tony! I bet five hundred bucks on who takes this thing down first!"
"Ha, deal! For big guys! I've got new toys!" Tony laughed.
"Jarvis! Activate 'Archangel Protocol'!"
Tony's voice exploded in the comms channel.
"Archangel Protocol activated, Sir." Jarvis's electronic voice responded, "Orbital projection system initiating—estimated arrival time: 12 seconds."
— — — —
Synchronous orbit, Stark Industries transport satellite—[Hephaestus's Forge]
The satellite's outer shell suddenly cracked open, and several huge metal components detached from orbit propelled by retro-thrusters. Each was the size of a shipping container, its surface covered in blue-gold energy patterns. They unfolded their collapsed structures during descent, revealing intricate mechanical joints and photon thrusters inside.
Boom—!
The thrusters erupted in dazzling blue flames, six meteors streaked through the atmosphere, trailing long plasma wakes, diving towards the Devon County battlefield!
— — — —
On the ground battlefield, the demon's furious roar
Dante continuously backflipped on the demon's shoulder, Rebellion spinning into a crimson whirlwind in his hand. Each slash tore bone-deep wounds into the crimson body. The demon let out a deafening roar, swinging its giant claw at Dante—
"Too slow!"
Dante laughed, switching demonic artifacts the instant the claw strike descended. The Faust Hat threw out a purple energy barrier, forcefully blocking the blow, while his right hand, Ivory, fired three consecutive shots into the demon's large mouth, the bullets exploding inside, sending sharp teeth flying out!
Steve, meanwhile, kept the demon occupied on the ground. The light of his Golden Saint Armor grew more dazzling. He threw continuous punches, each strike carrying a lightning-like golden Impact, pounding the demon's ankles into a bloody mess. Hulk even jumped directly onto the demon's back, his green giant fists pounding like a pile driver, each punch making the behemoth stagger.
"Tony! If you don't get here soon, I'm going to steal the kill!" Dante did a hawk flip in mid-air, his twin guns firing crisscross, bullets precisely hitting the demon's throat, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
Tony hovered in the distance, the corner of his mouth under the mask curving up: "That's not necessarily true, Red-clad Uncle."
The clouds were suddenly torn apart!
Several blue and white meteors ripped through the clouds! Each trailed a hundred-meter-long plasma wake, piercing the crimson sky like divine judgment swords.
They dove at supersonic speed around Tony, abruptly hovering just before Impact with the ground. The blue flames from their retro-thrusters blew away all the debris within a hundred-meter radius.
"Archangel Armor commencing docking." Jarvis's electronic voice sounded again.
First to dock were the leg thruster components—streamlined armor plates unfolded, revealing intricate photon conduction belts inside. The armor layers covered Tony's boots, finally forming sharp wing-like structures at the ankles.
Next was the chest expansion armor—two thick composite armor pieces separated from the back components, closing forward like Angel wings, assembling into armor on the suit's surface.
Dazzling energy patterns lit up at the armor seams. The arc reactor on the chest was surrounded by three concentric circular armors, each ring rotating in reverse, emitting terrifying fluctuations.
Back weapon wings—six fifteen-meter-long mechanical wings unfolded with a roar! Each wing was composed of dozens of independently movable armor plates, their edges sharp as blades. Blue-white photon currents flowed across the wing surfaces, and twelve floating cannons hovered at the wingtips, their muzzles already glowing with stored energy.
"Archangel Armor · Docking complete."
Tony's armor now displayed a blue and white color scheme, with glowing blue energy patterns flowing along the armor seams. Dazzling white light erupted from the eye positions of his mask. When the six mechanical wings on his back were fully extended, their wingspan exceeded thirty meters, each pointing towards the sky like a sword of judgment.
The entire 'Archangel Armor' reached a height of 30 meters; one could say it was truly the arrival of a Gundam.
Dante's eyes lit up: "Wow, this is getting interesting!"
The demon also seemed to sense the threat. It violently shook off Hulk, and all its wounds suddenly spewed lava-like blood. This blood condensed in the air into countless crimson spears, aimed at Tony—
"Party continues." Under Tony's mechanical faceplate, dazzling white light flared from his eyes. "Jarvis, full weapon system unlock."
"All limiters removed, Sir."
Next second—
The back mechanical wings fully extended, thirty-six floating cannons hovering behind Tony like a halo of angels;
The shoulder particle cannons were fully charged, their muzzles glowing with dangerous blue light;
The forearm armor popped open, revealing two rows of micro-missile launchers;
The chest arc reactor—the triple energy rings began to rotate in reverse, the terrifying energy fluctuations distorting the surrounding air!
The demon's lava spears finally shot out—
Tony simply raised his right hand.
"Photon Shield."
A hundred-meter-diameter blue-white energy shield instantly expanded. All the lava spears crashed into it, exploding into a sky full of fiery rain!
Dante seized the opportunity to leap onto the demon's head, Rebellion held inverted, its blade pointing downwards—
"Time to finish this!"
He violently plunged the demonic sword into the demon's crown, the blade fully embedded, right up to the hilt! The demon let out a shrill howl, its body twitching violently.
At this moment, all weapon systems on Tony's suit lit up with targeting locks simultaneously—
"Full salvo."
Boom!!!!
Thirty-six floating cannons fired simultaneously, blue-white photon beams weaving into a network of destruction;
The shoulder particle cannons fired two-meter-diameter light beams, directly piercing the demon's chest;
Micro-missiles from the forearms poured out like a swarm of bees, each exploding into huge bloody holes on the demon's body;
And the final, most devastating blow came from the chest—the triple energy rings reached their synchronized critical point, and a super-gigantic photon cannon, ten meters in diameter, erupted with a roar, completely engulfing the demon's upper body!
Dante jumped away at the last second. He spun his body in the air, watching the demon being swallowed by the light beam, and laughed, giving Tony a thumbs up: "This round goes to you!"
The light beam lasted for a full five seconds. When the energy dissipated, the three-hundred-meter-tall demon only had its legs from the waist down still standing; its upper body had completely vaporized!
Tony's mech began to disarm, with various components separating and hovering behind him. He flew to Dante's side, his faceplate opening: "Remember to send the bet money to my account."
Steve and Hulk on the ground watched this scene. Hulk scratched his head: "Hulk wants flying iron shell too."
