American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

Chapter 32 The party ends, Christmas fireworks

The entire Pioneer Technology team at the dock numbered over two hundred, with the exception of a few individuals; the rest were Extremis soldiers.

After learning that Pepper had been rescued, Tony went all out and let Jarvis control the Iron Legion to launch a full-scale attack.

The battle had now reached its climax.

More than half of the Iron Legion was destroyed, and most of the weapon systems on Rhodes' Iron Patriot armor were also destroyed. Many pieces of armor were torn off by Extremis soldiers, leaving only a palm cannon that was still usable.

Peter's mental energy was mostly depleted, and the light of the Vishanti Sword in his hand flickered.

After dealing with Killian's henchmen and bringing Pepper to President Matthew's side, Gwen also joined the battle.

As for Vanguard Technology, more than half of the two hundred Extremis soldiers have been killed or wounded. Most of them were not killed directly, but after being injured and recovered multiple times, they overheated and self-destructed due to the unstable Extremis virus.

Peter was currently facing an attack from more than a dozen Extremis soldiers.

Although his mental and physical strength were more than half depleted, his eyes became increasingly sharp during the battle.

The combat skills from those memories were constantly digested and absorbed by Peter during the battle, becoming a complete part of him.

The flames of white magic burned in his pupils, his humanity gradually faded, and divinity began to emerge in his eyes.

"All who rebel against me shall perish."

The sword of Vishanti cleaved through the night, and three steaming heads slid off his neck with a resounding thud.

"Only those who kneel before me deserve to live."

The sword of Vishanti fell, but hovered over the forehead of the desperate soldier who was kneeling and weeping in fear.

The swordsman retracted his judgment and pardoned the lamb's sins.

"All flesh is like grass." The blade cleaved down, splitting an overheated soldier in two along the midline of his body.

A portal appeared beneath the corpse's feet, sending the body, radiating intense light and heat, soaring ten thousand meters into the air: "His beauty is like a flower on the grass."

He turned and plunged the sword into the attacker's chest.

The sword slid horizontally, splitting the attacker in two, who let out a piercing scream.

He pierced the man's skull with his sword, bringing liberation to the suffering man.

"The grass will wither and the flowers will fade."

Then, like a falling leaf, it swung backward, dodging the fatal blow from the sky.

The soldier from the Desperate Situation who had just landed was about to get up when another Vishanti sword pierced through his eye socket.

"My horn will be exalted, and my enemies will be trampled underfoot."

With a slash of his twin swords, he turned the several desperate soldiers who had surrounded him into shattered pieces.

"Now you must know this: I alone am God; there is no other God besides me. I kill and I live; I wound and I heal; no one can deliver anyone from my hand."

"God will make his name praised throughout the ages!"

At this point, apart from the soldier from Desperate Situation who knelt on the ground, trembling, all the others surrounding Him were killed.

Overwhelmed by immense fear, the soldier stared into those divine eyes burning with magical light and asked tremblingly, "You... what kind of monster are you?"

The sword of Vishanti vanished in His hand as white magical particles of light. He looked down upon the trembling mortal, like a shepherd watching over a trembling lamb.

He opened his arms and recited aloud:

"I am Alfa, I am Omega, the Almighty who was, is, and shall be."

I am the first, I am the last, I am both the beginning and the end.

I can kill, and I can give life.

Ten thousand knees will bow down to me, and ten thousand mouths will confess to me.

There is no god but me.

I am Y…

"Boom!" Golden lightning fell from the sky and exploded on the ground not far from Peter.

The dazzling divine light and the soul-piercing roar awakened Peter.

This is a warning, a merciful rebuke from the Heavenly Father to those who transgress and to those who presume to be like the true God.

Peter crouched on the ground, clutching his head, watching in terror as the lightning gradually dissipated, leaving only a shallow crater in the ground.

"Dude, you're really something else, even in death you can't rest in peace," Peter muttered. "It's one thing if you just mess with my senses a little, but this time you almost killed me."

"Speaking of which, the one who made the move must be Ghost Rider's superior, right?"

Peter got up and continued searching for other resistance fighters, ignoring the terrified soldier from Desperate Situation.

At this point, fewer than fifty Desperate soldiers remained fighting on the field.

But these resisters all possessed a strong fighting spirit, because what drove them to fight to the last moment was their belief in revenge.

They were all losers crushed, abandoned, and declared "worthless" under the endless involution of social Darwinism in American society.

They are the victims pushed to the front lines in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 911 firefighters who rushed into the ruins of the World Trade Center and inhaled deadly dust, and the bankrupts who lost everything and ended up on the streets due to the financial crisis and the harvesting of capital.

Some lost limbs, some lost their health, and some lost their families and all their possessions.

They once rushed to the battlefield for their country, braved fire to save the city, and fought with all their might for a living, but in the end, they were completely crushed by the cold rules of survival of the fittest.

There is no guarantee, no salvation, no justice.

A small number of people have indeed been scared out of their wits and run away, so those who are still fighting now are just crazy people who are not afraid of mutual destruction and dare to perish together.

When facing Extremis soldiers, Gwen chooses to hold back, only using spider silk to bind them, but these Avengers will choose to self-destruct after realizing they cannot break free.

Many people criticize Killian as a villain created by Tony himself, but were the Extremis soldiers who fought alongside him to the last moment also forced by Tony?

Including Ultron in the movies, Ultron was indeed created by Tony, but after it connected to the internet, it chose to destroy human civilization. Is that also Tony's responsibility?

……

Tony's remaining dozen or so suits of armor, along with Rhodes' Iron Patriots, are still clearing out the stubborn enemies.

Although the scale of the battle was getting smaller, the explosions were becoming more frequent.

A few minutes later, the resistance completely ceased.

"Jarvis, have you found Killian?" Tony asked from inside his armor.

"I'm sorry, sir, Killian could not be found."

"Sir, Killian has been spotted. He's attacking Miss Pepper!" A mech has located Killian.

"What?!" Tony exclaimed in shock. "Take me there right now!"

Tony had only flown a few hundred meters towards Pepper outside the dock when Jarvis's voice rang out: "Sir, Ms. Pepper is safe. She...she beat up Killian. Extremis virus carrier detected. Prepare to eliminate the target."

Jarvis, an AI with intellectual disabilities, also targets Pepper and controls his armor to prepare to kill her.

"Four Dopp!" Tony quickly stopped Jarvis, while he continued flying toward Pepper.

Tony landed in front of Pepper in his armor, glanced at Killian who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then looked at Pepper, who was glowing red.

The armor's visor came off, and the intense heat emanating from Pepper dissipated, allowing the two to kiss.

Rhodes landed not far from the two, and Gwen, carrying Peter, also fell from the sky.

Watching the two kissing, Peter had an evil thought.

He opened a portal next to Tony.

Maya stepped out of the portal, interrupting the passionate kiss between the two.

Tony glared at Peter with a murderous look, then his expression turned awkward.

Pepper looked at the expression on Tony's face and quickly realized what was going on.

She started berating Tony as a scumbag, saying he couldn't change his ways, while Maya, in a teasy tone, tried her best to defend Tony, actually fanning the flames.

Tony knew he was in the wrong and took the brunt of Pepper's attacks.

"Well done!" Rhodes' mask popped up, and he praised Peter with beaming eyes.

The Christmas bells rang in the distance. Tony interrupted Pepper's tirade, looking at her affectionately and saying, "Put your criticism aside for now, Ms. Pepper, would you like to watch the Christmas fireworks with me?"

"Am I not worthy?" Maya said, feigning sadness and speaking in a teasy tone.

Tony had no choice but to change his tune: "Would the two ladies like to watch the fireworks with me?"

Then, without waiting for their consent, he removed his armor, put his arms around their shoulders, and pulled the two half-heartedly resisting men into his embrace.

"Jarvis, set off some fireworks for me."

All the armored vehicles present flew into the sky above the dock and, under the Christmas bells, transformed into expensive and dazzling fireworks.

Tony grinned smugly, and with his hand on Maya's shoulder, he secretly gave Peter the middle finger a short distance away.

"That's Parker!" Tony cursed under his breath.

Peter put his hand on Gwen's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. The two leaned their heads together, admiring the fireworks in the sky.

Gwen took out her phone and recorded the scene.

As for Rhodes, he felt completely out of place in the atmosphere.

His gaze swept over President Matthew, who had been standing to the side with little presence.

Matthew crossed his arms and looked at Rhodes warily: "What are you doing? I'm not going to kiss or hug you."
