What!?"
Tony sobered up quite a bit.
He was startled awake because Pepper was also in the crowd.
Fortunately, his suit was on him. In the nick of time, he raised his arm and fired a repulsor blast.
Boom—!
The repulsor blast accurately hit the incoming missile, and a fierce ball of Fire exploded in mid-air.
But even the aftershock shattered all the glass.
"Ah—"
Screams instantly drowned out the music.
The girls ran around frantically, losing all composure. Only Pepper rushed from the crowd towards Tony on the stage.
"Tony! Are you alright!?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'll get you out of here right away!"
Tony led Pepper out of the Villa. Just as they rushed out, two Rockets flew into the Villa from not far away.
Boom—!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the birthday stage Tony had set up was shattered.
Then, a large number of fully armed teams stormed in from arriving trucks, and gunshots erupted.
"Oh my God."
Pepper covered her mouth, utterly distraught.
The invited girls were being Carnaged right before her eyes.
"I'll get you to a safe place first."
Tony panted, his heart filled with surging rage.
Someone actually dared to attack his home like this!
"Stark!"
Just as Tony was about to fly Pepper away, a long whip, flickering with electricity, suddenly shot up from below, wrapping around his foot. In an instant, sparks flew.
Fortunately, he had flung Pepper away in that instant, otherwise the armor, covered in electricity, would have instantly killed Pepper.
But things weren't much better now.
"No—!"
Tony roared helplessly, but could only watch as Pepper fell into the raging flames.
He felt he had encountered the most desperate moment of his life.
Bang!
Shinkirou's massive figure swept past like a Shadow, firmly catching Pepper.
"Qi Mu!"
Shen He shouted loudly through the maximum amplifier.
"She's fine."
Saiki Kusuo's voice appeared in Shen He's mind. He had already teleported to the Nurse's office where Ryougi Shiki was.
The recent Rocket attack hadn't reached here, and the rushing enemies had just arrived outside the door.
Shen He silently placed Pepper on the ground some distance away, then controlled his suit to fly up, looking at the Villa engulfed in flames and gunshots before him. A command, filled with anger, echoed across the entire area: "Kill!"
This was like a forbidden spell unleashing a demon. The girl brought back to the Nurse's office by Saiki Kusuo instantly moved like an automaton. She crouched low near the door, tightly clutching her weapon—a long axe taller than herself.
The moment the door was violently kicked open, the long axe in her hand swung out with a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch, accurately hitting the forehead of the first enemy. Crimson blood gushed out like a broken dam, and he fell lifelessly before even having a chance to scream. The girl's delicate body was perfectly covered by the large corpse. In an instant, everyone screamed and fell to the ground.
Their shins had all been severed.
The girl dropped the long axe, pulled out two daggers from her person, and repeatedly stabbed the fallen enemies.
Every stab was fatal!
Her movements were so agile and swift. Her expressionless, delicate face looked like a cold-blooded and patient hunter. It all happened in a flash. The Nurses in the Nurse's office saw the girl standing alone, holding sharp knives, amidst a pile of corpses. Her White princess dress and smooth golden hair were stained crimson with alluring blood.
They would never forget this scene; the beautiful girl was like a fairy from hell.
However, this was just the beginning. Violet picked up a firearm from a dead enemy's hand. Her body, strengthened by dog food, surged forward like a graceful leopard. She leaped lightly, accurately and mercilessly Carnageing every enemy she saw. Her petite figure and swift speed became her greatest advantages.
"No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Get out! Get out! She's not human! She's not human!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
These strong men, who couldn't even be called battle-hardened, collapsed.
They either wildly sprayed bullets or dropped their guns and ran, which made Violet's Carnage even easier.
She simply discarded the heavy and clumsy firearms, taking the daggers Shen He had given her. She easily caught up to the fleeing enemies, jumped up, grabbed their hair, and with a slight twist of the dagger, skillfully slit their throats like a butcher processing chickens and ducks. She paid no mind to the blood spraying onto her. One after another, she naturally carried out the orders she had received.
Shen He knew all of this.
Of course, he knew. Violet had displayed her maxed-out killing talent during the dungeon.
He just listened intently to the screams coming from the Villa, using the weapons mounted on his suit to kill every enemy outside attempting to break into the Villa. He tried to control his emotions, including murderous intent and anger, as well as fear and pity. He simply tried to calmly view this as something he had to do, nothing more.
These people's target was not just Tony, but also the suits in the Villa, and perhaps even the suit data.
Because despite the continuous retreat, the enemy not only didn't withdraw but instead deployed their true trump card.
—An entire squadron of suits!
These were just mass-produced, crude replicas, a product of Ivan Vanko's intellect combined with HYDRA's financial power. Naturally, they couldn't compare to Tony's suit, but Shen He saw clearly that the large number of heavy weapons mounted on them were enough to level the entire Villa.
"Tony, activate the defensive field!"
Shen He controlled his suit to fly high. An unknown object, trailing fire and thick smoke, shot out from the center of its chest, followed closely by a purple beam flickering with lightning, striking the object that had just been fired!
In an instant, blinding light stole everyone's vision.
The terrifying beam dispersed and rotated in mid-air, mercilessly slicing through a large area in front of it. Whether it was the replica suits, the trucks, or the continuously surging enemies, everything was utterly destroyed under the power of this ultimate move.
It was precisely the [Diffusion Structure Phase Transition Cannon] mounted on Shinkirou in the original anime.
After this dazzling attack, in the entire fan-shaped area in front of Shinkirou, only Tony, who had activated an absolute defensive field, and Ivan Vanko, who had sacrificed two of his suit's shins, survived.
"Let me see, who exactly are you."
Tony stepped on Ivan, tearing off the thick helmet.
Ivan, his mouth full of blood, seemed to have just recovered from the attack. Then, looking at his enemy before him, he suddenly grinned, filled with endless resentment.
"Stark, your whole family are Carnages. You don't deserve everything you have now. Now, it's time for retribution!"
Tony instinctively felt danger, but the opponent's long whips, flickering with electricity, suddenly wrapped tightly around his suit. The energy source in his chest suddenly flashed rapidly.
