Chapter 138 Erosion

"Hematological toxicity: 63%"

Monaco, the venue of the Monte Carlo F1 Grand Prix, Tony looked at the data displayed in the blood analysis machine with a solemn expression.

As [Jie Lu] said, his situation is not very good. The palladium metal used as a micro-ark reactor to sustain his life has now become his talisman. The black line spreading from the micro-reactor on his chest is exactly the same. It represents the increasing corrosion of palladium metal on his body.

"..."

After taking a look at the condition of his chest through the bathroom mirror, Tony put the buttons back on in silence.

If possible, he would naturally not want to die quietly due to palladium metal poisoning, but through Jarvis, he has simulated all known elements on the earth. The answer is that no element can replace the effect of palladium. In short, Tony knew that frequent use of palladium would kill him, but Tony had to continue doing so.

It seems like this is a vicious cycle with no solution.

"Your condition does not look good, Mr. Tony Stark."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the men's room, right?"

Looking up at the redhead who appeared in the mirror, Tony couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask. He remembered the identity of the other party, the SHIELD agent who appeared on the battlefield during the previous battle between the two green guys.

"Where's Phil?"

Tony is not too fond of SHIELD, and Nick Fury's previous uninvited invitation also made him extremely disgusted. The only person in SHIELD who could speak was Phil, who had been in contact with him before.

"He has other tasks and is currently in New Mexico." Looking at Tony's haggard face, Natasha answered casually.

“Nice place.”

He raised his eyebrows and replied. Tony adjusted his collar and was about to leave, but Natasha stopped him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Stopping his steps, Tony turned his head to look at Natasha in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Tony Stark, are you just going to let your physical condition get worse like this?" Turning her head and looking at the faint black line on Tony's neck, Natasha asked with a frown, although S.H.I.E.L.D. I had expected that his health would be in trouble, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

"Do you think I haven't thought of a solution?" Faced with Natasha's question, Tony was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Unfortunately, I can't find any solution. Maybe this is my fate. In fact, I have lived much longer than I imagined.”

Although he considers himself a genius, it is obvious that palladium metal poisoning is not a problem that he can solve by relying on his ingenuity.

"Sorry, there are more important games waiting for me next. If you, SHIELD, have nothing to do, please stay quietly."

After saying this, Tony stepped forward and was about to leave, when Natasha suddenly locked his shoulders and injected the medicine she had prepared long ago into his neck.

"what did you do to me?!"

Without steel armor, Tony was obviously no match for Natasha. He covered his neck and couldn't help but frown and question.

"Dioxide can slow down your symptoms." Natasha turned her head and observed the situation on Tony's neck. With the injection of the medicine, the black line that originally appeared on his neck clearly faded away.

Taking a deep breath, he felt that his condition was much more relaxed than before. Tony rubbed his still aching neck and couldn't help but said: "It feels good. Can you give me two more boxes?"

"This is not an antidote, it is just used to slow down the corrosion rate of palladium metal on the body." Natasha told the truth expressionlessly.

"That's such a shame."

With a wry smile, Tony didn't have any expression of regret on his face. In fact, he knew this outcome.

"I have injected the medicine, but Tony Stark's physical condition is worse than we expected,

Worse. "In the bathroom, Natasha looked at Tony's leaving figure and then reported into the earphone.

"How bad?"

On the other side of the headset, Nick Fury's deep voice sounded.

"It's terrible. Maybe he will die soon."

Natasha reported the news expressionlessly.

"..."

On the other side, there was silence for a moment before Nick Fury spoke again.

"Don't worry, we won't let that happen."

…

"Just last night, another evil force in Hell's Kitchen was destroyed."

In Chinatown, inside the martial arts gym, Danny announced the information he had obtained.

In the photo, the large number of charred corpses made everyone present unconsciously frown.

"It looks like the situation is more serious than we thought." Kingpin's unscrupulous behavior made Luke Cage worried. He was a little worried about the situation in Harlem.

"Wait a minute, the way these people died is a bit weird." Jessica, a half-hearted private detective, noticed something unusual about the deceased and pointed to one of the charred corpses that was cut in half: "They don't look like He died in a normal gunfight, but it was a bit like being beheaded."

"The Hand?" When he heard the killing, Matt subconsciously thought of the Defenders' previous opponent, the Hand.

"But the Hand has been destroyed by Jiuyou." Touching his arm, Danny retorted in a low voice.

"Chopping a person in half with a knife is not as simple as it seems." Looking at the scene in the photo, Frank couldn't help but frown. The human body is stronger than imagined. The large number of bones can even block bullets, let alone cut them in half with a knife.

"Perhaps they are from Jiuyou?"

After hearing everyone's opinions, Matt made his own judgment.

Upon hearing the name Jiuyou, the defenders subconsciously looked at Danny. Among the people present, he was the only one who had actually had contact with Jiuyou.

Although, the result of this contact was not very good.

"The Juewu God I encountered before did not use any weapons."

Subconsciously clenching his fists, Danny recalled the scene of his severed hand and shook his head.

"Jiuyou is not the only one with Jue Wushen." At the right time, Ye Wen spoke and added: "Although I don't know much about Jiuyou, according to Teacher Wu Tian, ​​Jiuyou's existence is almost the same as Jiuyou's. It’s as old as Penglai.”

"So, the person who killed the gang is probably another member of Jiuyou?"

After hearing Ip Man's explanation, Jessica looked at the scene in the photo again and secretly deduced: "An extremely cruel existence."
