Chapter 460 The Prodigal Son Returns!
The flames were like the breath of a fire dragon, and Tony, who had no choice but to turn his back to face the scorching heat wave.
Behind him was Leni...
However, Tony did not feel the pain of being burned by the fire as expected, but instead noticed that Leni in front of him had a strange look on her face.
Tony realized something and turned around, only to see that the Mark 39 Gemini, who had been protecting Leni, had appeared in front of the flames, blocking all the invading heat waves!
"Don't worry, Sir, I'm always here!"
Jarvis's reassuring voice rang in Tony's ears.
It turned out that just now, Jarvis, who had noticed something wrong, immediately controlled the Gemini to rush in front of Tony, and at the same time suddenly deployed the force field protection shield carried by its body, strictly blocking all the flames spewed by Killian in front of the energy shield!
As the latest version of armor, the Mark 39 Gemini armor does not have a large energy beam device on its chest like the Mark 17 Heartbreaker.
But in order to cope with the complex and dangerous suborbital environment, Tony also designed a special cooling system for the force field shield to continue to work.
Although the energy shield deployed by the Gemini with this system is not as good as that of Mark 17 and Mark 24, it is more than enough to cope with the complex space environment.
At present, a dazzling barrier is deployed in front of the Gemini. No matter how much Killian musters his strength to spit out flames, he still cannot break through the energy shield.
Killian's eyebrows jumped when he saw this. He just saw that Tony's two sets of armor with shield capabilities were gone, so he launched a sneak attack.
I thought that this must-kill would definitely end Tony's life, but I didn't expect that the black and white steel armor in front of me also had the ability to deploy a shield!
Realizing that things were not going well, he wanted to escape immediately, otherwise he would have no chance of turning the tables.
However, before Killian could make any move, a golden-red figure suddenly emerged from under the bridge, and launched a fierce high-temperature plasma attack on Killian's head!
The person who came was the Mark 17 armor, the Heartbreaker, who was wandering around the battlefield and resembled an elder in the Iron Family!
The energy of the exaggerated cluster gun on the chest of the Heartbreaker began to condense rapidly, and at the moment of reaching the peak, a powerful plasma pulse cluster gun covered Killian's figure!
As one of Tony's many combat armors, the Mark 17 Heartbreaker, like its subsequent derivative models Mark 24 and Mark 32, were all classified by Tony as special "artillery-level RT armors".
The large cluster gun on its chest is enough to blast through the external protective armor of any active main battle tank. Now it is used to deal with Killian who is empty-handed, which is simply bullying him!
Stopping the flames from his mouth, Killian lowered his head in astonishment and looked at his chest.
I saw that the chest that was still surging with scorching heat just now had been broken into a hole as big as a volleyball!
The hollow body is still emitting high temperatures, but the missing piece of flesh can't be repaired immediately!
Killian looked up at the steel armor above his head in a daze, and then he realized that there were more people who had kept a hand.
Collapsing on the ground helplessly, Killian no longer had the confidence to fight to the death. At this time, he only had one idea, that is, to stay alive.
However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something!
A very important special item that he had always kept in his trouser pocket, enough to help him survive in desperate situations!
Thinking of this, Killian didn't care that he was in the air, and immediately used all his strength to roll over. In front of Lainie and others, he fell to the sea under the bridge again!
He wanted to live!
If he stayed here, he would die in the hands of those guys!
He still had a lot of things to do. As long as he was alive, Killian was confident that he could regroup and find Tony Stark for revenge!
But the premise was that he was alive! He had to be alive!
Therefore, even if he had to experience the pain of being tortured by the sea water again, he had to escape from this bridge and those guys who made him hate him!
In mid-air, Killian struggled to put his remaining left hand into his trouser pocket.
The continuous self-repair and the missing right arm had almost exhausted the energy in his body, and the big hole in his chest had completely drained the energy in his body.
If it weren't for the fourth generation of the Extremis virus that had eliminated the side effects of overdraft, he would have turned into a fireball as high as 3000 degrees Celsius and died completely.
His fingers touched the cold special crystal. Although Killian had never actually used it, he guessed from the information provided by his partners that in order to trigger the magical effect, he had to crush the crystal!
Without caring about anything else, Killian, who was falling straight down, suddenly crushed the special crystal in his pocket at the last moment before falling into the sea. A huge amount of life energy instantly filled his entire body!
Plop!
His fiery body chased straight into the cold sea water, and the surging waves instantly swallowed Killian's figure completely.
The vast life energy filled Killian's body. The desperate virus in his body, which was almost exhausted of energy, became extremely active again in an instant, and even had a tendency to be better.
Feeling his body recovering rapidly, Killian was immediately delighted. He didn't care about so much at the moment. He quickly stretched his limbs and swam away from the port.
He had to escape from here as soon as possible, otherwise if Tony reacted and caught him, he might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
However, before Killian swam far underwater, a figure that everyone was very familiar with suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance and drove towards the port at a high speed.
"Mark 42 has arrived!"
Watching the rapidly approaching golden-red figure, Tony was particularly relieved at this time.
"The prodigal son finally turned back."
The Mark 42 armor that took him to the cold winter and never returned finally turned back and returned to his side.
Lainie, who also saw this scene, couldn't help but smile, thinking that this traitor finally knew to go home.
"Sir, Killian seems to be planning to escape."
At this time, Gemini suddenly interrupted the two people's thoughts and pointed to the direction of the sea to remind everyone.
Lainie frowned when she heard it. She naturally noticed Killian's little move just now.
Although she didn't have time to ask, she more or less guessed what the guy had in his pocket.
I didn't ask about the alchemical crystal I gave to Rody before. Judging from Rody's attitude, I'm afraid he has forgotten it.
Thinking about the fact that the Iron Patriot fell into Killian's hands, I guess the [Shining Remy Aid] must have become Killian's trophy long ago.
"Gemini, take me down."
Frowning, Lainie couldn't let Killian run away like this.
Those old-fashioned plots in cartoons where the enemy is let go because of a moment of negligence, she, Lainie, will never allow it to appear in her story!
Tony, who was standing aside, turned his head and looked at Lainie, knowing that she was going to get rid of the trouble forever.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Tony looked back at the Mark 42 Prodigal Son who was getting closer and closer, and gave an order to Jarvis in a deep voice.
"Jarvis, let the Prodigal Son catch Killian."
Tony didn't say how to catch him, but just clenched his fists in front of Lainie and the others.
Lainie narrowed her eyes at the sight, then smiled knowingly, and let the Gemini take her straight to the abandoned dock of the port.
Killian, who was still struggling in the sea at this time, didn't know that his life was coming to an end. He now had only one thought in his mind, that is, to escape from this damn port as soon as possible.
However, just as he was struggling hard, a golden-red figure suddenly fell sharply from the sea surface, and rushed straight to Killian's newly repaired body in the direction behind him.
Kakaka!
A unique metal collision sound came, and Killian only felt a sudden shock on his back, and then he felt that his body was completely wrapped by something!
This is...
Killian's pupils shook violently!
Then he realized that the thing that wrapped him was nothing else, but the damned Tony Stark's iron suit!
"Do you think you can run away?"
"Do you think you can run away?"
Two cold voices sounded from the helmet of the armor, and even if Killian was unwilling, they still reached his ears.
"No, no! I can't die! Don't think it's so easy to catch me! Don't think!"
Killian wanted to struggle, but at this time, he was completely wrapped in his body. How could he exert as much strength as before? He could only let the Mark 42 Prodigal Son carry him out to the sea.
As if he had a premonition of his fate, Killian struggled harder.
He had just experienced the unparalleled power in person, and naturally understood that he could never withstand the heart-pounding long-range attack!
"Wait! Wait! Don't you care about the Slingshot Base? Aren't you afraid that my people will kill everyone there? Let me go! Let me go and I'll order them to stop!"
Faced with the threat of death, Killian was already in a state of panic. In a hurry, he had to pin his hopes on the men he sent to raid the Slingshot Base.
However, there was no response from Lainie and the others in the helmet. Instead, the picture in front of him turned and turned into another scene with flames rising to the sky.
"Mr. Killian, are you asking about your three stupid men who are as stupid as pigs?"
A cold voice came into Killian's ears, which stunned him immediately.
Then the picture in front of Killian turned, and the camera slowly focused on a woman who looked a little embarrassed.
The woman's hands were still shaking uncontrollably, and there were many wounds on her body, but her eyes when she looked at Killian were particularly cold.
The rising flames illuminated her profile, and Killian only recognized it at this moment. The woman was actually the female hacker who was controlled by the think tank!
"If you are looking for them, I can only tell you with regret that they are waiting for you in hell."
As the voice fell, the scene in front of Killian disappeared, leaving only the coast still burning with a little bit of fire, and the abandoned dock in front of his sight that was getting brighter and brighter.
There was a ball of light there, a ball of light that was constantly expanding!
The ball of light was a little dazzling, and it was getting brighter and brighter.
Killian wanted to turn his head away, but his eyes were fixed on the ball of light.
It was not a lamp, nor a torch or other lighting object.
Because it was too bright, bright enough to illuminate the entire coast, like a rising sun, expanding in Killian's sight.
The sea, the sky, the ship and the harbor, everything around seemed to have been stripped of the veil of the night, revealing its true appearance.
Killian could even feel the temperature of the light shining on his skin, and the warm glow transmitted when it was reflected on his face.
…
"My God..."
Looking at the orange-yellow ball of light that was expanding at the dock below, Rody couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What is that?"
Just now Rody saw Lainie materialize a giant cannon that looked like a laser cannon, and thought Lainie was going to repeat the same trick.
But he didn't expect that the giant cannon not only did not emit the previous azure light, but instead began to condense orange-yellow energy!
Tony, who had just changed into the Mark 17, felt that the equipment on the "laser cannon" looked more and more familiar.
"High-voltage magnetic field restraint device, thermonuclear fusion reaction module... No way? Could it be..."
Tony suddenly recalled something, and then suddenly realized that it was the conceptual model of the [small thermonuclear fusion reaction module] that Lainie had shown Tony when she was designing and developing thermonuclear reactor technology?
"Thermonuclear fusion reaction module?"
Roddy was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the Heartbreaker beside him, and asked in disbelief:
"Artificial star?!!"
Tony pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"I have seen the conceptual model of the thermonuclear reaction module designed by Lainie, and it is basically the same as the one above.
Although Lainie did not save the information to the database of Tony's villa, Tony is absolutely confident in his memory in this regard.
The big guy in the girl's arms that is constantly condensing orange-yellow light balls is definitely what she showed him at the beginning!
"Hiss~"
Roddy couldn't help but take a breath!
Of course he knew what thermonuclear fusion reaction technology was.
If he remembered correctly, when Lainie joined Stark Industries as a researcher, she took the initiative to submit a research plan for artificial star technology.
You know, At that time, Tony hadn't even become Iron Man yet, and he was still trapped in that broken cave in Afghanistan!
Since Lainey became Tony's assistant and joined Stark Industries, Tony's Stark Industries, which he took over again, has completely transformed into a new energy technology company.
Its main industrial business is the new thermonuclear fusion reactor technology that is as famous as the Stark Ark Reactor.
The promotional poster of that thing is still posted at the entrance of Stark Industries headquarters!
"Did this girl already think of making that thing into this thing at that time?"
"Are you kidding? How old was she at that time?"
"21!"
