Unlike the previous two times, after making this selection, Watson felt his heart beating faster, like he had eaten well-done meat, filled with inexhaustible strength. This should be the effect of the physical enhancement. As for strength—it was the perfect time to test it out himself!
Oh, right, let's see what an Apex Diablos looks like first~
"Dahua, fly directly above them! I must let certain people know how terrifying my Diablos can be when it takes flight!"
System, suppress the Diablos's dragon element power from spreading.
500 meters high, at this altitude, an Apex Diablos should be fine, right?
Putting away Dahua, Watson suddenly felt his feet go empty and then he rapidly plummeted!
System, summon Diablos!
Roar! Aoooow!
A huge flash of white light passed, and then the hundred-meter-long Diablos appeared in the air!
The rocks on the mountain peak were shaken loose by the earth-shattering roar.
The Ten Rings fighters on the road heard the huge roar and looked up. One person in a truck stuck his head out, watching the growing black dot in the sky, and suddenly remembered something: "—Enemy attack!!!!"
Just then, a violent explosion rang out from the distant town, and a demonic voice came from the sky.
"SUPER! HEAVEN! AND! EARTH! SPLIT!!"
Whoosh~! Poof! Bang!!!
The moment the Diablos landed, it was as if time itself was frozen, as if it was gathering power.
Bang!!
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a large section of the mountainside suddenly collapsed! The earth seemed to let out a mournful cry!
The huge shockwave and intense tremor knocked down all the Ten Rings fighters within dozens of meters! The convoy was also scattered.
The sky-high dust was like a small sandstorm, engulfing half the mountainside!
The middle section of the previously winding road had disappeared, and the remaining parts were cracked by the massive impact!
Just then, Stark flew over from the town. He looked back at the explosion he had caused, then looked at the scene before him, which looked like an earthquake, and mumbled, "I always feel like he's stealing my thunder…"
After a while, Tony looked at the sky filled with smoke and dust. Besides the communication signals intercepted by Jarvis, there was no other movement. He quickly spoke into the comms: "Armor Baby? Are you alright?!"
"I told you not to call me Armor Baby! You should worry about yourself first." Watson's voice then came through, and he mumbled softly, "This is really awesome. Next time I'll use Teostra to show them what a walking nuclear bomb looks like…"
Tony curled his lip and said, "But what's there to be afraid of a bunch of terrorists? Watch me give them—"
Whoosh~! Bang!!
An explosion appeared on Tony's body; he had been shot again.
Tony slowly got up and said, "Alright! You've made me angry!"
Just as Tony raised his hands to gather energy forward, ready to teach the person who shot him a profound lesson, the dust cleared.
It revealed hundreds of Ten Rings fighters, several tanks, and anti-aircraft guns slowly turning to aim at him.
"—I said I was just passing by, do you believe me?"
Da da da!!
Bang bang bang!!
His answer was a sky full of bullets and cannon fire!
"Great Detective!! Save me!!"
Relying on his left and right thrusters to dodge the incoming shells, he was still hit by one.
Tony, who was on the ground again, said, "If you don't come out, the next time we meet will be in Greenwood!"
"Alright, you get out of here quickly, watch your butt! And, cover your ears!"
"—Butt? Ears?"
Tony had just voiced his question when he felt a huge tremor from beneath him, as if something was about to break through the ground.
Taking advantage of the Ten Rings fighters stumbling, Tony immediately flew into the air.
Then he saw the 'sinkhole' behind the group that had attacked him, and the latter half of the army that was cut off by the 'sinkhole'.
The ground beneath the front line of troops suddenly bulged.
Poof! Bang!!
A pair of horns, over ten meters long, burst out of the ground, sending everything on them flying! A tank was impaled like a skewer on the tip of the left horn. Then, a pair of wings stretching dozens of meters long, a body nearly a hundred meters long, and a tail like a battering ram emerged from the ground!
Roar! Aoooow!!
Its awe-inspiring body and earth-shattering roar officially announced the Diablos's appearance.
Tony looked at the giant figure on the ground, his jaw hanging open: "What?! F*ck!!! I didn't see wrong, right? Is this a goddamn dragon?! You never said you had a dragon?! And this dragon can dig holes!"
Watson, grinning, stood on the Diablos's head, ignoring Tony's strange shouts. He looked at the Ten Rings fighters who were staggering from the roar, patted the great horn beside him, and said, "Let them see what a super dragon charge is—it won't stop until people die!"
Roar! Aoooow!
The Diablos first flung its great horn, smashing the tank into the crowd, leaving a fifteen-meter-long blood-red trail! Then, it flapped its massive wings backward, creating a huge gust of wind pressure, and the Diablos charged out like it had boosters!
Wherever it went, everyone was crushed into mincemeat, and all vehicles and tanks were sent flying like baseballs!
Unstoppable! Irresistible!
In just a few breaths, the Diablos had already reached the edge of the 'sinkhole', leaving a shura hell behind it! In each of the Diablos's giant footprints, there were corpses and various vehicle wrecks!
Tony looked at the scene after just one charge and opened his mouth, saying, "Truly the epitome of an evil dragon—"
"Tony, you mustn't slander our Diablos. Dragons have no distinction between good and evil."
Tony said as if nonchalantly, "You wouldn't let it do this in the city, would you?!"
Watson shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten why I came here with you?"
Hearing Watson's words, Tony smiled and said, "Sorry, buddy, I forgot you were a righteous Flame Knight."
While Tony and Watson were chatting and laughing, the group of Ten Rings fighters on the other side of the 'sinkhole' couldn't smile at all!
That was a force of hundreds of men, with advanced weapons and tanks! But—in front of this demon, they were as weak as infants. Some had already knelt, begging for Allah's forgiveness.
The blood permeating the air, the horrific scene of hell before them, and the subordinates constantly kneeling and weeping behind them! All of this stimulated Razi, the leader of the Ten Rings fighters. This man, whose face had been half-destroyed by Tony Stark, now had veins visibly bulging on his flushed face due to anger and fear.
"Get up, all of you! Do you think this monster and the demon on its head will spare you?! Don't forget the tragic state of the previous bases!"
Watson coldly watched Razi jump around like a clown, trying to motivate his subordinates.
I just love people like you who would rather die hitting a wall than turn back!
"Diablos, let's go down."
Roar! Aoooow!
With that, the Diablos disappeared into the 'sinkhole' again. Although with the Apex Diablos's current defense, cannon fire probably felt like nothing more than an itch, it would be too embarrassing to be hit by a bunch of weaklings.
