Fear instantly overwhelmed Strucker's reason.
He watched Henry approaching like the Grim Reaper, his mind going blank. His body's instincts drove him to make the only choice: Escape!
He didn't even bother to incite Wanda anymore and rushed towards another exit of the laboratory.
"Want to leave?" Henry sneered, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The next second, he appeared in front of Stark, quickly grabbed his throat with one hand, and lifted him up from the ground with his feet off the ground.
"Mr. Bread, the party has just begun. How can you, as the host, leave early?" Henry tilted his head and spoke in a light tone. However, the force of his hand caused Strucker's face to turn a purple hue.
"Let...let me go..." Strucker squeezed out a few words from his throat with difficulty, scratching Henry's steel-like hands in vain.
"Let you go? Of course." Henry nodded understandingly.
"It may require a minor surgical procedure, though."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his other hand, as if to twist Stark's neck.
"Stop!"
A scream of rage and grief interrupted him.
Wanda had just watched her brother being knocked unconscious by Henry and saw her only ally, Baron Strucker, being subdued in an instant. Her spirit, which was already on the verge of collapse due to hatred, was completely ignited.
She stopped attacking Tony and turned all her anger towards Henry.
Red energy gushed out from her petite body, several times more violent than when she attacked Tony just now!
The lights in the entire underground laboratory were flickering wildly under the influence of this energy. Countless instruments and equipment exploded one after another because they could not withstand the erosion of this energy, and sparks flew everywhere!
"You monster!!"
Wanda's eyes were completely covered in red light. She hovered in mid-air, her long hair moving without a breeze, like a witch bringing down divine punishment.
"I want you to pay for Pietro's death!"
"Oh no." Henry glanced at the devastating scene behind him, then looked at Strucker in his hand, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
"It seems your allies are not very obedient."
He casually threw the almost suffocated Stark towards the corner of the wall. With a dull thud and the crisp sound of broken bones, the Hydra leader slid to the ground like a puddle of mud and completely lost consciousness.
After dealing with this troublesome guy, Henry turned around and looked at Wanda, who was floating in the air leisurely.
His eyes penetrated Wanda's body. In his eyes, the energy in Wanda's body seemed to have just awakened not long ago, or it seemed that it had not been strengthened and activated by the Mind Stone. In short, it looked very weak.
If I have to describe it, it looks very high-end, but the intensity is very low.
"First of all, I have to correct a common-sense mistake of yours." He stretched out a finger and shook it.
"That brother of yours who ran so fast was just knocked unconscious by me. He can't die. Secondly, even if I really wanted to kill him, it's not your turn to make me pay for his life. Finally..."
He paused, a confident smile on his face.
"Are you sure you have that ability?"
"I will kill you!!" Wanda was so angry that she couldn't hear what Henry said at all.
She screamed and thrust her hands forward!
The violent energy was no longer a beam of light, but transformed into an energy storm, sweeping towards Henry with the power to distort reality!
"This energy can interfere with my system! It's not normal! Don't resist it!"
"Henry! Get out of the way!" Tony's voice rang out rapidly.
He had just recovered from Wanda's energy shock, and the shield energy had not yet fully recovered. Jarvis's system was filled with a series of indecipherable, garbled codes.
He wanted to go forward to help, but found that the Armor's propulsion system had temporarily malfunctioned due to energy interference!
However, facing the horrific attack before him, Henry did not move at all.
He stood there quietly, allowing the scarlet storm to swallow him up.
The violent energy instantly overwhelmed him, and the entire laboratory floor was lifted up by this force. Countless fragments and clods of earth were turned into powder by the storm! Tony's heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"boom!!"
"Henry!!!"
In the glass room, Wanda was suspended in mid-air, breathing heavily, with a look of morbid pleasure on her face.
In her opinion, no creature could survive her unreserved full-strength attack.
However, when the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the scene revealed made the smile on her face freeze instantly.
In the centre of the storm, the ground had collapsed into a huge, deep pit.
And Henry was still standing in the centre of the pit intact.
There wasn't even a scratch on his Armor, but a faint golden glow lingered around him, making him look like a god.
"Nice strength." Henry moved his neck, making a crisp sound, and said in a flat tone.
"It's slightly stronger than tickling. However, your attack method is too inefficient."
"No! Impossible!" Wanda looked at him blankly, her face full of disbelief.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
"Oh, no, little girl. I'm not a monster. But since physical attacks don't work on me,"
"Monster?" Henry laughed when he heard that.
He looked up at Wanda with a playful look in his eyes, "How about we try something more interesting?"
Wanda looked at his eyes that seemed to see through everything, and her heart trembled suddenly.
In anger and fear, she made a decision she would later regret.
She was going to break his spirit!
The red light lit up in her eyes again, but this time, it was no longer an outward energy, but a weird mental shock that pierced into Henry's mind fiercely!
"I will let you see your deepest fear!" Wanda's voice sounded in Henry's consciousness.
However, the scene she expected of Henry crying and having a mental breakdown did not occur.
The moment her consciousness invaded Henry's mind, she seemed to have crashed into a vast and boundless starry sky.
No fear, no darkness.
There is only warmth and brightness like the sun.
Immediately afterwards, countless memories that did not belong to her completely overwhelmed her consciousness!
She saw a man smiling tenderly at a baby in the sunshine.
She saw two little boys chasing and playing with each other on the beach, getting sand and all over themselves.
She saw Tony Stark, who always had a cynical smile on his face, using a pile of scrap metal to knock out the first arc reactor in a cave in Afghanistan, knocking out the hope of prolonging life.
She saw Henry Stark, who looked like a Playboy, floating silently in the universe, enduring loneliness, just to absorb more sunlight and become stronger, strong enough to protect everyone.
She saw Stark Industries' arms orders and the weapons being abused by terrorists, but she also saw the determined look in Tony's eyes when he resolutely announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons department at the press conference.
She saw their pain when they lost their parents, their arrogance when facing congressional questioning, and their tacit understanding when they joined forces to fight Hydra.
Those were periods of life belonging to the Stark brothers, full of glory, pain, responsibility, and love.
Finally, the picture freezes on the ruins of Sokovia.
