Valkyrie rolled her eyes at Peter in exasperation, too lazy to bother with this chatterbox Country Bumpkin any longer. She turned around and charged excitedly toward the other Land Mechs.
Compared to dialogue-heavy scenes, she still preferred action-packed ones!
It seems that although Valkyrie no longer considers herself an Asgardian, deep down she still retains the Asgardians' warlike genes!
And don't be fooled by how Valkyrie seemed to last only a few moves against Ryan and was sent flying by Ares with an axe, making her appear not too strong.
But in reality, Valkyrie can barely make it into the T1 tier on Earth today.
With her strength only slightly inferior to Thor's and her rich combat experience, in a life-or-death battle, even Thor with Mjolnir back might not necessarily be her match!
As for these Earth-made high-tech unmanned mechs, Valkyrie deals with them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Her powerful physique directly withstands the hail of bullets, and with her dragon tooth sword, she destroys one mech with each strike.
With Valkyrie handling the Land Mechs, after clearing the toughest Aerial Mechs, Ryan didn't land. Instead, he swung on his Silk toward Harry, who was being suppressed.
The controlled War Machine, somehow aware of the Symbiote's weakness, was blasting Harry with High-Frequency Sound Waves from its left hand and a Flamethrower from its right, roasting him fiercely!
The Venom on Harry's surface was screaming in pain, showing signs of detaching from Harry's body!
While roasting, Rhodes inside War Machine kept apologizing to Harry, saying things like "Sorry, I didn't mean to," making the scene look utterly ridiculous for a moment.
Just as Harry and Venom were both nearing their limits, War Machine suddenly stopped, sharply turned in mid-air toward another direction, and raised its weapons at the incoming Silver-Gray Figure.
But to Rhodes' surprise, the incoming Silver-Gray Figure completely ignored the sound waves and flames from his armor, directly passing through them as its large hand, with five fingers rapidly enlarging before his eyes!
Slap————
Ryan gripped War Machine's armor faceplate with his five fingers and, relying on powerful momentum, pressed War Machine against a building wall with one hand.
Finally, under War Machine's continuous flame roasting, Ryan raised his other hand toward War Machine, extending five sharp claws.
"No, bro, stop, Rhodes is being controlled!!!"
Amid Harry's plea, Ryan's raised hand did not lower but instead stabbed down!
Crack——————
Then his sharp five fingers pierced into War Machine's chest arc reactor, forcibly tearing it out and crushing it in his grasp.
And War Machine, having lost its power, naturally broke free from the controlled state.
Rhodes inside the armor, seeing Ryan's such a hardcore method of removing the armor's control, twitched his mouth: "I really thank you for that. This is the iron man armor I begged Tony for so long to lend me..."
"You're welcome, I believe Tony will make you a new set~"
Ryan shrugged, casually tossing the powerless War Machine to Harry and Peter who had rushed over behind him, and said calmly:
"Stay put. After this is over, I expect a reasonable explanation from you two for why this city has turned into this mess."
After speaking, without waiting for their reply, Ryan swung away on his Silk toward Tony's direction.
Catching Rhodes, the two brothers Harry and Peter exchanged a glance, their faces filled with excitement.
That aloof, dismissive tone—it's the real deal. Their invincible big brother has truly returned!
On the other side, without the original combo attacks with Rhodes, under the absolute difference in strength, Tony was currently being pummeled by Whiplash!
If not for Tony's armor material being better than Ivan Vanko's, he would probably have been smashed to pieces by now!
But actually, it's not much better now. Tony was being grabbed by the leg by Whiplash, whose size was several times larger than his armor, and slammed left and right!
Even with the Black-Tech Shock Absorption System, Tony inside the armor was being slammed until his head spun dizzily. He struggled to ask:
"Hey, Jarvis, tell me the best way to escape this Mechanical Hulk. I'm about to... can't hold on..."
[Sir, I think you no longer need me to provide the best escape method, because, your reinforcement has arrived...]
Tony:?
"What reinforcement?"
In Tony's bewildered expression, Whiplash's continuous left-right slamming suddenly stopped!
And there was a constant mechanical overload 'creaking' sound!
Tony looked up sharply to see a silver-gray hand pressing on Whiplash's iron arm, making it impossible for Whiplash to lift its arm even a bit, no matter how hard it tried, even as the armor emitted creaking friction sounds at its limit!
This overwhelming sense of power, could it be...
Tony's gaze lifted again, a excited smile spreading across his face: "Holy shit! Ryan, you bastard finally came back!!!"
"What, Tony, missing Daddy that much?" Ryan winked at Tony, his tone relaxed, not at all like he was in a fight.
This dismissive behavior naturally hurt Ivan Vanko's little heart, so he swung his other iron fist, 'clang,' smashing it against the back of Ryan's head.
But landing a hit didn't make Ivan Vanko happy; instead, he looked shocked.
Because his tens-of-tons iron fist not only failed to blow the other's head apart but only made that mortal head sway a bit. Then, the other used his head to push against the iron fist and turned toward him nonchalantly.
Ryan stared at Whiplash and sneered:
"Heh, you seem to like Hulk smashes? But your form isn't standard enough, so let me, a professional, teach you what a real Hulk smash is..."
Saying this, Ryan's five fingers pressing on Whiplash's arm suddenly dug into the armor. With a 'Kingly Lift,' he raised it overhead with one hand, then slammed it toward the ground!
Eighty! Eighty! Eighty! Eighty! Done!
After just two slams on each side, Whiplash's armor couldn't hold up. Under these four fierce slams, it directly fell apart.
And Ivan Vanko inside the armor wasn't much better. Out of his 207 bones, more than half were broken, including his Fifth Limb being shattered.
But on the verge of death, the dying Ivan Vanko showed no fear or begged for mercy. Instead, he let out a maniacal laugh toward Ryan and Tony:
"Hahahaha, the Stark family, the Spider Family, you two thief families, you're finished. Starting today, you're done for!"
"Everyone will know, Stark, your arc reactor technology isn't exclusive; it's technology your father stole from my father!"
"And you, Spiders, you took something that doesn't belong to you. Now the owner has come, and you'll not only drag the Spider Family down into disgrace but also lose your beloved because of it, hahahahaha!"
Lose his beloved?
Ryan's eyes sharpened. Ignoring the Helicopter still broadcasting live from above, his five fingers stabbed into Ivan Vanko's head, pulling him out of the armor and sucking him dry into a Mummy.
Simultaneously absorbing Ivan Vanko's memories.
