American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 683 Fireworks
The terrorists who remained near the Statue of Liberty were among the first members of Killian's organization.

Each of them, when combined with the Extremis virus, possesses extremely strong combat capabilities.

Unfortunately, each of the street heroes who came this time had their own unique skills.

Big Daddy is nimble and skilled in various assassination techniques and sneak attacks.

The constant maneuvering and kiting gave the terrorists no chance for a direct confrontation.

As for Scott, he already possesses the second-generation Ant-Man armor, which can shrink to the size of an ant and grow into a 100-meter giant.

Every move it makes carries immense destructive power.

They are considered the main damage dealers in the battle group.

On the other side, Deadpool's healing factor allows him to recover even faster than the terrorist's Extremis virus.

Therefore, his battles were the bloodiest and most direct, with every strike drawing blood and each wound exchanged for another.

With his abnormal healing ability, like that of cancer cells, no terrorist could stand a chance against him.

As Spider-Man, Quicksilver, and others who rescued the president and Pepper joined the battle, the terrorists, despite having a numerical advantage, began to falter.

Failure was only a matter of time.

Therefore, Mike naturally had no need to intervene.

He stood casually to the side, acting as an audience member.

The president, who had been rescued, saw the healer looking relaxed and wanted to come over and try to build a relationship with him.

However, Mike clearly had no intention of playing along with the other party.

After exchanging a few casual words, the two fell silent and continued watching the show.

To be fair, regardless of his abilities, this president is indeed very perceptive and composed, and knows how not to cause trouble for others.

This made Mike look at him with newfound respect.

But that's about it.

Meanwhile, on Tony's side, the combined attack of over fifty new armored vehicles did indeed inflict a significant loss on Killian.

After being bombarded by laser cannons, almost no part of his body was intact.

He looked extremely disheveled.

However, in the ensuing close-quarters combat, the situation seemed to have reversed.

Thanks to the Extremis virus, Killian's injuries are gradually healing.

On the contrary, Tony seemed a bit rusty when controlling more than fifty suits in close combat at once.

And they can't fully utilize their abilities...

Meanwhile, Killian seized the opportunity, using the immense strength granted to him by the Extremis virus, and in no time, he smashed several suits of armor away.

With its sweeping and powerful movements, it was as if a god of war had descended.

“Tony, this can’t go on. Give me clearance…” Colonel Rhodes called out to Tony.

While having a lot of armor is a good thing, it also makes the battlefield chaotic.

Especially those unmanned battle suits, their movements were not smooth and instead became an obstacle.

"OK~"

Tony also realized this, so when he gave Colonel Rhodes control of the armor, he also relinquished control of the other superfluous armors.

Focused on controlling his main battle armor, he worked in coordination with Colonel Rhodes to launch a pincer attack on Killian.

As it turns out, armor is only an auxiliary tool; more is not necessarily better.

Subsequently, abandoning the flashy Tony, and with the support of Colonel Rhodes, they once forced Killian into a series of defeats.

Finally, after a powerful laser cannon shot, Killian, unable to resist, collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

Seeing this, Tony stepped forward, grabbed the man by the neck, and lifted him up, saying gleefully, "You bastard, weren't you so tough? How come you're like a dead dog now?"

When it comes to being sharp-tongued, Tony has never lost.

Just as he was in high spirits, Killian, whose face was covered in blood, suddenly revealed a strange smile.

Then, a blinding red light emanated from his body, like lava.

"Watch out!" Colonel Rhodes, who had been burned by lava before, quickly warned.

But it was still too late.

Having regained some of his strength, Killian seized the opportunity when Tony loosened his grip due to the heat, charged forward, took several close-range laser cannon shots from Tony, and then clung tightly to the Iron Man armor.

As the temperature of the lava on his body rose higher and higher, Tony, like Colonel Rhodes before him, was forced to reveal his armor due to the intense heat.

Then it was like a cycle.

Tony, who had just escaped from his armor, was grabbed by the neck by Killian and carried to the edge of the Statue of Liberty.

"I must say, you almost succeeded." Killian looked around the battlefield and noticed that his men had been almost completely wiped out by the street heroes.

Fortunately, his subordinates lost, but Killian hasn't lost yet.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me, do you want to cooperate with me or not?"

Despite having another important hostage, Killian's situation remains far from optimistic.

Almost at his wits' end, he continued to exert force with his hands while questioning him.

Tony was being choked so hard he could barely breathe.

Below them lies a cliff nearly 100 meters high, adorned with the statue of the goddess.

As Tony's face turned from white to red, and then from red to green, the street heroes, who had finished their respective battles, gathered around, ready to rush forward to save him.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll strangle him. We might as well all die together!" Killian shouted menacingly, forcing the street heroes back.

A flash of madness crossed his eyes.

With a genius like Tony buried with him, it doesn't seem like a bad deal.

It can only be said that Tony's personality is indeed unlikable in the eyes of others, and he can easily attract hatred.

The kind that's deadly. "Help..."

Tony, his mind racing, used his last trump card, calling for help from Mike, who was watching from afar.

"No wonder he's a genius, he can even lose a perfectly good revenge plan..."

Mike mentally complained about Tony's unreliability, but at the same time, he quickly gathered a ball of magic.

Just then, someone else was faster than him.

Pepper Potts, worried about Tony's safety, suddenly turned into a raging fire, rushed to Killian's side and violently broke his hand, then bent down and grabbed the falling Tony.

A dramatic scene unfolded where a beautiful woman rescued a hero.

The whole process was incredibly smooth yet fraught with violence.

Despite his severed arm, the defiant Killian still tried to attack Pepper. But before he could even make a move, he was bound to the spot by a pure white magical whip.

"No, this shouldn't be happening!!!"

With all hope lost, Killian's face was contorted in extreme distress, and his emotions became unusually unstable. The Extremis virus within him was on the verge of spiraling out of control.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the Kirian, covered in magma, exploded into countless pieces like an overloaded furnace.

This is one of the drawbacks of the Extremis virus: it can self-destruct due to the user's unstable and uncontrollable emotions.

"She has quite a temper."

Mike made a comment and then withdrew his hand.

His gains this time were quite good. Although the Extremis virus had many drawbacks, its energy was definitely plentiful.

The combined energy value of the hundreds of terrorists involved amounted to tens of millions.

In total, it's no less than what a typical magic apprentice in Kamar-Taj contributes.

"Calm down, Pepper."

On the other side, Tony was also startled by Killian's self-destruction.

He was especially alarmed when he discovered that the flames on Chili Pepper's body were also showing signs of getting out of control.

Pepper's behavior at this moment strongly suggests that she must have also been injected with the Extremis virus by Killian.

This medicine isn't necessarily bad, but it seems that everyone who has been injected with it has met with a bad end.

Tony was already considering whether to ask Mike again to help Pepper get rid of the Extremis virus.

"What's wrong? Did I burn you?" Pepper, who was awakened by the shout, gradually calmed down.

Then, with a little effort, he lifted Tony up from the edge of the statue as if he were carrying vegetables.

That's the powerful feeling.

Previously, Pepper Potts could only watch Iron Man from behind, but now that she has superhuman strength, she can finally help Tony.

To be honest, Pepper quite likes this feeling.

“No, I love your passion.” Tony said sweet nothings and stepped forward to hug Pepper.

Feeling Tony's sincerity made Pepper feel very at ease, and the heat in her body gradually dissipated.

Finally, the two snuggled together and sat on the edge of the statue.

Are we considered a couple now?

"Of course not, you haven't confessed your feelings to me yet."

"Really? Then, Ms. Pepper, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"..."

As their lips drew closer, Tony quietly activated the control bracelet, causing the striking Mark armors to take off one after another.

Then, under the night sky, a huge burst of dazzling fireworks exploded.

"Damn rich people! I hate this feeling..." Colonel Rhodes felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe as Tony used his armor as a backdrop for fireworks to create a festive atmosphere.

That's all money!!!

"Can someone tell me why we're stuck here eating dog food?" Deadpool, who was also just a background character, couldn't help but complain.

"Uh, I don't know either. I just see everyone doing it..." Spider looked around, but eventually followed the crowd and stared at the couple not far away.

As for why the others were staring at Tony, they were probably intimidated by his wealth and power.

Spending over five billion US dollars on fireworks is something probably only Tony Stark would do.

"Gentlemen, thank you for this rescue. I will publicly commend you later..." After his initial surprise, the president, who had seen much of the world, once again reconnected with the heroes on the street.

Your Excellency the President has just witnessed firsthand the fighting prowess of the street heroes.

If we can win them over, we might be able to form a second "Avengers" team.

"No need for thanks, can I have it for money?" Deadpool interrupted the president's speech.

Deadpool prefers tangible praise to verbal compliments.

Big Daddy, Ant-Man, the Punisher, and others didn't say anything, but their expressions betrayed their feelings.

They share the same idea as Deadpool.

"No problem. Given your previous heroic performance, there will definitely be a bonus later." The president, who was interrupted, was not disappointed.

It's just a little money; it's nothing to the president.

"Beautiful, I'm starting to like you," Deadpool exclaimed.

When the others heard about the bonus, smiles appeared on their faces as well.

"I feel like something's missing?" On the other side, Quicksilver, who had no concept of money, looked around and felt that something was wrong.

But I can't remember what it is right now.

Meanwhile, Mike had somehow ended up in the dining room of his villa, enjoying a delicious dinner with Scarlet Witch and Hit-Girl.

After all, eating dog food is nothing compared to enjoying a gourmet meal.
