Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 78 Tony VS Ebony Maw

"Go back quickly and inform Stark!"

Doctor Strange's expression suddenly turned serious, he clasped his hands together, and his cloak fluttered in the wind.

Banner didn't delay and quickly ran back to the Sanctuary to wake Stark, whose consciousness was still in the chat group.

"Hey buddy, what's up? What's the rush?"

Stark opened his eyes, looked at Banner in front of him, and smiled jokingly.

However, his keen senses quickly made him aware of the situation outside!

His expression immediately changed.

Even so, he didn't forget to join the chat group and say a final word.

A mortal body, yet on par with gods: "Brother, my gems have arrived. Let's chat later!"

After saying that, Stark logged off without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Hei: "They're here already? That's a bit fast..."

Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain: "Young friend Tuo is very fortunate. I wish him great success this time."

The 40th generation exorcist of the Ma family: "They're here! No, I can't chat anymore. I need to get back to work and try to complete the ritual as soon as possible!"

The group members sighed and logged off one by one.

Yan Chixia and Xiong Ba watched as fewer and fewer people joined the group chat until only the two of them remained.

Staring at each other's lit-up avatars, the two remained silent.

Everything is understood without words.

The two felt a pang of envy and sourness, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, it is indeed very painful to be surpassed by a newcomer.

The Boundless Heaven and Earth Borrowed Power: "Alas, Xiong Ba, we are truly in the same boat."

The Three-Part Returning Qi: "I share the same fate as Senior Yan, and for a moment I don't know whether to be happy or sad..."

After leaving their last message in the group chat, the two of them logged off one after the other.

Following Banner, Stark walked out of the temple.

At this moment, his Iron Man armor was not attached to his body, but he still exuded an imposing aura.

Compared to his previous appearance in Iron Man armor, Stark now exudes a different kind of intimidation.

This made Banner, who was standing to the side, turn his head in surprise.

Having known Stark for so long, he was the first to notice that something was wrong with Stark's current state.

It's as if he's become a completely different person.

However, with a formidable enemy at hand, he didn't ask any further questions and quickly found Doctor Strange...

At this moment, Doctor Strange was radiating golden light, with his cape floating behind him and his hands tightly clenched into a mudra.

Before him, the arc-shaped spaceship was frozen in place, no longer moving forward.

"Sure, buddy."

Stark stepped forward, patted Doctor Strange on the shoulder, and gave him an appreciative thumbs-up.

If this spaceship, which is hundreds of meters tall, continues to roll forward, many buildings will likely collapse, and many innocent victims will die.

"This is nothing."

Doctor Strange waved his hand, looking at the spaceship ahead with even greater caution in his eyes.

He clearly sensed that there was someone on the spaceship who was equally proficient in magic and no less skilled than him in this field.

Sure enough, the very next second after he thought this, a slender figure, accompanied by a strong figure, slowly descended from the sky.

The figure was thin and pale, dressed in a solemn robe trimmed with gold.

However, to Earthlings, its appearance is indeed extremely strange, resembling a large, long-bodied octopus.

A wisp of white hair hung casually down his back, revealing a shiny bald head.

This figure is named Ebony Maw, one of Thanos's Black Order. He is not only Thanos's right-hand man and right-hand man, but also Thanos's undisputed number one strategist!

Another burly figure, with a lizard-like face and a height of over three meters, was even stronger than Banner when he transformed into the Hulk.

At the same time, he gripped a sharp axe tightly in his hand, its cold light gleaming!

Like Ebony Maw, he was one of Thanos' Black Order, a powerful ally of Thanos!

The two hovered high above, seemingly oblivious to Earth's gravity, looking down at Stark and the others.

The next moment, Ebony Maw smiled disdainfully and said slowly.

"Earthlings?"

"Listen up, all of you, cheer up and hand over Infinite Plain City with gratitude."

"I will, in the name of the great Thanos, grant you death."

These words were so arrogant that one couldn't bear to be angry.

Upon hearing this, Stark picked at his earwax in annoyance.

"Hey, you old-faced octopus demon up there, don't you think your forehead is perfect for cutting off and using as a mirror?"

Stark sneered at Ebony Maw's outrageous hairline and began to slowly rise into the air.

After reaching the same level as Ebony Maw and the others, he slowly stopped, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he coldly stared ahead.

"Um?"

A cold glint and surprise flashed in Ebony Throat's eyes.

The human in front of him, who was as weak as an ant in his eyes, could not be angered even by his mockery.

But this sudden flight left him bewildered.

As a high-level user of magic, he was most able to sense that the human in front of him did not possess any magical power.

He really hadn't expected to take off so suddenly.

Banner and Doctor Strange were completely dumbfounded.

The Hulk even blinked incredulously.

"What's going on?"

He muttered to himself in disbelief.

Having known Stark for so long, and having been a fellow member of the Avengers, almost no one knows Stark's true worth better than him.

He wasn't wearing his Iron Man armor at that moment, so how could he suddenly fly up?

Isn't that nonsense?

The next moment, he and Doctor Strange both looked down at Stark's feet.

Although no Iron Man armor was mentioned, it might be some new cutting-edge technology developed by Stark.

However, after looking for a long time, they still didn't find anything.

At this point, Banner couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

"Tony, Stark, what's going on? How can you fly out of thin air? What kind of technology is this?!"

"Yes, Stark, has your technology advanced so much that you can now operate without the Iron Man armor?"

Doctor Strange, equally curious, asked.

Upon hearing this, Stark smiled slightly, shook his head, and patiently began to explain.

"No, no, no, this isn't technology. If you want to know what it is, I can only tell you it's the Taoist arts of China!"

As he spoke, Stark's expression suddenly turned cold!

When the Daoist teachings of China are mentioned, he can't help but feel a deep sense of awe!

Looking at Stark's current expression, Banner and Doctor Strange exchanged glances, even more confused and bewildered.

Seeing this, Stark shook his head helplessly and said...

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You'll see in a moment."

After saying that, he looked at Ebony Throat.

"Hey, you old-faced octopus, I'm asking you, why didn't Thanos come?"

Faced with Stark's insults and questions, Ebony Maw did not get angry but laughed instead.

Even when Stark suddenly took flight, he didn't treat Stark as anything special.

His expression remained unchanged; instead, he replied with a gentle and relaxed demeanor, seemingly unconcerned.

"To deal with your ordinary planet, I alone am enough."

"As for the king, he has already gone to other places to retrieve other Infinite Originium Stones."

Stark frowned upon hearing this.

Then, he looked at Ebony Throat again and asked.

"So, according to you, Thanos already has three Infinity Stones?"

Ebony Maw nodded and answered without hesitation.

"Yes."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Stark immediately smiled and said...

"Very good, very good!"

Stark laughed heartily, leaving Ebony Maw looking completely bewildered.

Logically speaking, Thanos had already collected all three Infinity Stones, so Stark should be feeling anxious and frustrated at this point.

Why are you so happy?

He was puzzled and was about to say something.

But then, Stark's expression suddenly changed.

"In that case, you might as well die first!"

With that, Stark transformed into an arrow released from a bow, launching an attack on Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf!

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

Seeing Stark charging towards him, Ebony Maw snorted coldly.

He didn't take a mere Earthling seriously, who possessed no technology whatsoever.

He was even too lazy to lift a finger.

"Black Dwarf, it's up to you."

"Ebony said, and Black Dwarf beside him nodded憨厚ly, took a step forward, and threw a punch at Stark who was diving down!

A three-meter-tall, incredibly strong figure—this punch is no joke.

Describing it as a fist the size of a sandbag wouldn't be an exaggeration. And Stark, who didn't look particularly strong, appeared somewhat powerless in front of Black Dwarf's fist.

"careful!"

Banner and Doctor Strange looked tense and spoke up at the same time to remind him.

As he spoke, Banner's face turned red, and he tried to summon the Hulk.

Doctor Strange also chanted a spell, with a golden ring around his hand, preparing to cast a magic spell.

Meanwhile, Stark and Black Dwarf were getting closer and closer, about to begin their first round of combat!

"roll!"

Stark's face was grim. In the instant he approached Black Dwarf, he subtly threw a punch.

As the fist he threw slammed down, steel armor rapidly materialized above it! In that instant, he directly used the power of his physical body and the power of his mecha, attempting to strike unexpectedly!

As expected, the black dwarf's expression changed drastically, but by then the die was cast and it had to be cast.

He gritted his teeth and took Stark's punch head-on!

boom!

A loud buzzing sound rang out!

To everyone's surprise, Stark was unharmed and flew calmly through the air.

The burly Black Dwarf was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground!

Seeing this, everyone gasped in shock.

Ebony Maw was taken aback; the situation had once again exceeded his expectations.

Banner and Doctor Strange also stopped trying to help Stark, completely dumbfounded!

What the heck? Is this still Iron Man?

Are you sure you're not possessed by the Hulk?

Banner thought to himself, then slapped himself, realizing he had misjudged the situation.

However, it is clear that these things did indeed happen.

Ebony Throat's expression suddenly became slightly serious.

Of course, this wasn't enough to completely stun him.

"That's interesting..."

"I heard your name is Iron Man, right? You're also a member of the Avengers. It seems you're a power-type hero."

As Ebony Throat spoke, his expression gradually turned cold.

Although Iron Man's power exceeded his expectations.

This is bad news.

But he also had some good news.

Based on that punch exchange, he was fairly certain that Stark was a power-type hero.

And Ebony Maw, as a mage, was actually in a perfect position to counter it!
