Chapter 27: Iron Man vs. iron monger!
Rhodes and Jiang Bai were left looking at each other, but Jiang Bai ignored Rhodes, activated his stealth shield, and vanished before Rhodes's eyes, using flight mode to burst out of the hole Tony had crashed through.
He pursued Tony's trail, flying towards that factory, ready to watch a good show.
After Jarvis informed Rhodes of Tony's location, he drove one of Tony's luxury cars directly out of the garage and rushed to that spot!
Meanwhile, Obadiah arrived at the factory and saw the massive Iron Man Armor the engineers had built for him!
He placed the arc reactor he had removed from Tony's chest into the chest of the colossal Iron Man Armor.
Then, he entered it himself, and soon the armor began to activate.
Tony had also arrived at the factory at this time, only to run into Agent Coulson and his team.
Through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence, they knew Obadiah's location and were there to arrest him, but they didn't expect a red and gold armor to suddenly appear.
Boom—!
As Coulson was about to question Tony, the factory gate was blasted open, and a huge black mechanical armor appeared.
The entire armor was as tall as a story, and its size was several times that of Tony's!
Seeing the familiar arc reactor on its chest, he knew Obadiah must be inside!
"Obadiah! Where's Pepper!!"
"Oh, our little Tony is still alive, not bad! But you're going to die again very soon! As for Pepper, you'll never see her again!"
Tony, guessing the opponent was Obadiah, immediately asked about Pepper's location!
Hearing Tony's voice, Obadiah was very surprised.
He hadn't expected Tony to still be alive, but with this colossal armor, he didn't put Tony in his eyes at all, speaking loudly to Tony with a hint of madness.
After speaking, he directly attacked Tony, a fist larger than Tony's head striking Tony.
He was directly sent flying, crashing into the wall on the other side, and the entire wall began to crack from the immense impact, collapsing directly after Tony got up!
Coulson, not far away, also deduced from their conversation that they were Obadiah Stane and Tony Stark!
Seeing both their armors, Coulson was very surprised and immediately reported to Director Nick Fury!
"Director, Obadiah Stane and Tony Stark have both built giant armors and are fighting.
We can't get close to them at all!"
"What? Armors? Gather the records, and let's wait and see!"
"Yes!"
Nick Fury in S.H.I.E.L.D. was bewildered after hearing Coulson's report.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had researched armors, but they still hadn't solved the energy problem.
He hadn't expected Obadiah Stane and Tony Stark to actually create them.
However, based on his guess, it should have been Tony Stark who researched and built them.
Obadiah Stane didn't have that capability.
As for the scientists in Stark Industries, it was even less likely for them to solve an energy problem that even S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't solved; only Tony Stark could have achieved it!
On a tall building in the distance, Jiang Bai slowly landed on the top floor, not turning off his stealth shield mode, keeping it on.
Then, with the help of the intelligent system, he watched the battle between Tony and Obadiah below in the distance.
Calling it a battle, it was just Tony being unilaterally beaten.
Boom—!
In just one exchange, Tony was once again sent flying by Obadiah.
Due to the difference in the armor's power and size, Tony's armor was lighter and more flexible!
Obadiah's armor, on the other hand, was heavier, with high defense and great power, plus the firepower equipped on his arms and back.
Even long-range attacks were not bad.
After being sent flying again, Tony directly crashed onto the nearby road.
Just as he was about to get up, he was directly hit by a truck and sent flying!
Obadiah didn't care about the lives of others, following Tony onto the road, he grabbed a nearby car and threw it at Tony.
Seeing this, Tony immediately grabbed the front of the car, but because the driver was a female driver.
After being startled, she started stomping on the accelerator!
Tony had just put her car down when she directly hit Tony, running over his face, screaming and stepping on the accelerator, and the children in the back seat were also terrified.
Finally, after running over Tony, she just left, which gave Obadiah an opportunity.
He grabbed one of Tony's legs and slammed him hard to the side!
The originally flat road instantly had a large human-shaped pit.
Even with the armor's protection, Tony was severely shaken.
But Obadiah wasn't going to let him go like that.
He slammed him twice more before throwing Tony towards a nearby building.
Tony, who had crashed into the wall, struggled to get up, aiming his palm at Obadiah and firing his repulsor ray, but it didn't cause any damage to the opponent's heavy armor.
Boom—!
Next, the miniature Rockets behind the armor launched and rushed towards Obadiah.
Who knew the opponent didn't dodge at all, taking Tony's attack head-on.
Only a slight dent appeared on the armor!
It didn't cause any substantial damage to Obadiah inside the armor.
Seeing this, Obadiah activated the machine guns on his arms and began to continuously strafe Tony!
These were Stark Industries' machine guns, so their power was naturally not to be underestimated.
In just a few seconds, Tony was suppressed behind cover, not daring to come out.
Obadiah, however, activated his other weapons, and a small missile blasted towards Tony's position!
The terrifying explosion sent Tony flying several meters away, and even the vehicles on the road were affected, with many people directly dying from ruptured internal organs due to the aftershocks of the explosion.
Some were even crushed to Death by overturned cars.
Jiang Bai on the top of the high-rise building watched this scene expressionlessly, without the slightest emotion for the Death of these people!
Even if everyone in America died, he wouldn't care.
Although there was a slight discomfort in his heart regarding the corpses and remains, he quickly ignored it.
He didn't intend to save them!
Because in this World, people die every day, every hour, every minute.
Should he save every single person?
He only cared about people related to him.
He wasn't a saint.
If these people died, they died.
Coulson next to him wasn't even worried, so why should he be!
From the moment he arrived, Jiang Bai had already noticed Coulson.
With S.H.I.E.L.D. present, it was even less likely for him to show up and save people who had no relation or connection to him.
He would stay here because he wanted to see Iron Man fight iron monger, and perhaps he could even earn Tony a favor!
Within the timeline, he was almost killed by iron monger.
