A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe

"Luo Bai, we need to get out of here right away..."

"Click."

"This place is very dangerous now..."

"Click, click."

"Could you please stop eating popcorn for a moment...?"

Rod is going crazy.

He wanted to remind Luo Bai to fasten his seatbelt, as he might speed away from this dangerous, hellish place.

Seeing that Luo Bai was still calmly eating popcorn, Rod gave up.

He has to get out of this dangerous place on his own!

Taking a deep breath, Rod tightened his seatbelt.

Just as he was about to step on the gas, Luo Bai spoke up: "Don't you think this spot is perfect for watching a fantastic 'popcorn blockbuster'?"

"This isn't a movie; this is a real crisis in New York!"

"This location isn't very good; let's look at it from somewhere else."

Rhodes wanted to say something more.

Before he could even speak, he suddenly felt everything go black.

The next second, Rod inexplicably appeared on a rooftop.

"Oh, shit!!" Rod blurted out instinctively, looking a bit bewildered.

He glanced around at his surroundings, then looked down at Tony, who was fighting Obadiah below.

Rhodes was bewildered.

He tried to sort out his thoughts, trying to figure out what had happened in the blink of an eye.

No matter how he tried to figure it out, he still couldn't understand why he had suddenly appeared on the roof.

Turning to look at Luo Bai, who had also appeared on the rooftop, Rod asked, "Do you know what just happened?"

While watching the battle downstairs, Luo Bai calmly replied, "Teleportation, my superpower. To avoid danger, I teleported away the innocent passersby nearby as well. Now only Tony and Obadiah remain in that place."

"Wait... superpowers? You have superpowers?" Rhodes asked.

"Um."

"Before that... my car..."

"I controlled it with my telekinesis to prevent it from being knocked away."

"Wait, so you can also use telekinesis?"

Rhode never imagined that there were superpowered individuals in this world, and even more unexpectedly... he had stumbled upon one.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why Luo Bai could calmly eat popcorn.

Out of the three of us, am I the worst at relationships?

With wide eyes, Rod stared at Luo Bai in disbelief.

He had many questions in his mind, but at that moment he didn't know what to ask.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Luo Bai handed over some popcorn and asked, "Want some?"

"Thank you..." Rod politely thanked him, popping a piece of popcorn into his mouth.

Seeing Luo Bai sit on the roof, Luo De also sat down.

The two of them ate popcorn while watching Tony and Obadiah fight on the street below.

After a while, once Rhodes had calmed down, the two started a new conversation: "Is it really okay for us to sit here eating popcorn right now? Shouldn't we go help Tony?"

Luo Bai chose a very good location.

Sitting on this rooftop, Luo Bai and Luo De were not only safe, but also had a clear view of the battle.

Tony and Obadiah had fought before; the two had a brief altercation on the street.

It's clear that Tony was constantly on the defensive and getting beaten up.

Obadiah, controlling the arm of the black Iron Man suit, grabbed Tony and slammed him to the ground.

Seemingly still not satisfied, Obadiah stomped on Tony's feet several times.

Thankfully, Tony was wearing his suit and could withstand the attack, but Rhodey was very worried seeing Tony like this.

"Tony is no match for Obadiah, we have to help him!" Rod said hastily, standing up.

Compared to his nervousness, Luo Bai, who knew the outcome, was much calmer: "You have to trust Tony, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes. He's a superhero. Didn't you just say Tony's suit was cool?"

"It's pretty cool, but will he really be alright? How did Obadiah create the Iron Man suit that's even more powerful than Tony's?" Rhodey asked worriedly.

Luo Bai was also quite puzzled by this.

In the original storyline, Tony created the MK1 in a cave, and during the fight, parts of the MK1 fell off and were picked up by the Ten Rings.

The Ten Rings were later handed over to Obadiah, which led to the creation of the black "Iron Monger" suit.

The appearance of Kolo Bai changed the plot, revealing that Tony's MK1 was never actually manufactured in the cave.

Obadiah still managed to create the Iron Monger.

Although this is in line with the Marvel universe's setting, the timeline correction will still happen when it is supposed to.

How did the "Iron Monument" come about?

Could it be that Obadiah managed to get the suit design from Tony's house when he wasn't looking?

Given their relationship, it would have been quite easy for Obadiah to get into Tony's house; otherwise, Tony wouldn't have been ambushed by Obadiah at home.

It's also possible that Obadiah, knowing about Tony's suit, secretly developed it by gathering a group of elite inventors.

After all, Stark Industries used to manufacture weapons, so they have plenty of talented people there.

Obadiah has a high reputation in the company, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to gather a group of elite people.

There are many possibilities, but that's not the point.

The key point is...

"The suit isn't the key; the key is the Arc Reactor. Obadiah couldn't research the Arc Reactor technology, so he could only steal Tony's. Tony is currently using a simplified first-generation Arc Reactor," Luo Bai explained.

Rod didn't understand, so he asked, "What kind of impact will this have?"

Luo Bai said, "The power supply is insufficient."

Tony's suit has been upgraded, and the better the configuration, the more energy it requires.

The first-generation Arc Reactor couldn't provide such powerful energy, which is why Tony has been at a disadvantage all this time.

"Without sufficient functionality, Tony's suit can't unleash its full power. Otherwise, how could Obadiah's pile of junk possibly defeat Tony's upgraded suit?" Luo Bai retorted.

Rhodes nodded in agreement: "Indeed. Tony is a genius!"

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Tony on the street suddenly focused his firepower on his chest.

With a laser beam shooting from Tony's chest, Obadiah's "Iron Monger" was instantly blasted away.

Seeing this, Rod clapped and cheered, "YES! Well done, Tony!"

Rod shouted.

He was initially quite worried about Tony, perhaps because Luo Bai was too calm.

So at this moment, Rhodey has also become a "loyal spectator" and has started eating popcorn with Lo Bai while watching Tony fight.

Unbeknownst to the two, Tony was watching their every move.

Tony never imagined that while he was in such a mess, his two best friends were sitting on the roof eating... popcorn and drinking cola?

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Tony decided to seek help.

Tony activated the flight system and immediately flew towards Lobo.

Landing smoothly in front of the two, Tony couldn't help but say, "Luo Bai... would you consider... doing me a favor..."

Tony's sudden arrival brought Lobe and Rod's pleasant "movie-watching experience" to an end.

With a frown, Luo Bai couldn't help but say, "I thought you would cherish this opportunity for real combat, after all, you haven't actually used the combat suit in combat since you created it."

Normally, Tony would also prefer to win the fight himself.

However, the current situation is not ideal.

"I'm in trouble. My suit is not functioning properly. I only have 19% of its energy left..." Tony said.

Tony just forcefully concentrated the energy of his suit to attack Obadiah.

With his energy dwindling, Tony has no chance of winning if this continues.

Thinking of this, Tony continued, "Opportunities for real combat are indeed rare, but I'm worried the suit won't last long."

Luo Bai understood, so he asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"You teleport Obadiah to the roof of Stark Industries. If the reactor overloads, it will explode. I'll have Potts go to the central control room to turn on all the circuits, and then press the main bypass button to burn out all the circuits!" Tony explained his plan.

This plan is similar to the original plot, except that if Luo Bai teleports the Iron Monger there, Tony will be much safer without taking any risks.

Considering that Tony's suit might not be able to hold up if they dragged on any longer, Luo Bai agreed.

"You now inform Ms. Potts that I will take control of him."

"Poz, do as I say..."

As soon as Luo Bai finished speaking, Tony used Jarvis to contact Potts and direct the operation.

While maintaining contact, Tony landed on the roof.

During his contact, Lobe used his teleportation ability to teleport Obadiah directly to the roof of Stark Industries.

To prevent Obadiah from escaping, Lobe also used telekinesis to control him.

Obadiah was still somewhat dazed, not knowing why he had suddenly lost control of his battle suit.

Or rather, for some reason, his body suddenly became unable to move.

"Tony! What tricks did you use! Stop hiding, you should come out and fight me like a man! Let me see just how much your suit has been upgraded!" Obadiah roared.

At this moment, his mind was still focused on killing Tony.

Little did he know that as Potts pressed the switch, a massive blue energy surged from the Stark Industries basement toward the roof, blasting Obadiah and his suit apart before piercing the entire sky.

Gazing at the blue energy that connected heaven and earth, Rhodes couldn't help but exclaim, "It's truly magnificent. Could I have some popcorn?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tony chimed in, "I've been wanting to ask you guys for a while now, why am I risking my life while you guys sit here eating... popcorn?"

Luo Bai calmly replied, "Because we all believe you can defeat Obadiah."

"Okay... give me some popcorn, this is a great spot. Do you have any Coke? I'd like a cup too... a cheeseburger would be even better..." Tony took the popcorn from Luo Bai's hand, opened his mask, and started eating.

Looking at Obadiah, who had been killed by the reactor overload, Tony felt a sense of relief.
