A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

The plasma whip whistled down from above Cao Gui's head, slicing down as smoothly as a hot knife cutting butter.

"You hit it?" Roddick's tone was filled with surprise, but Toni remained silent.

With a loud bang, the stone Cao Gui was standing on was instantly split in two. The broken edge was heated red-hot by the plasma, while Cao Gui's figure drifted away with the wind and disappeared.

"Sir, the enemy is at direction 156!" Jarvis immediately reported Cao Gui's location.

"Rhodes, watch out behind you!" Tony shouted, turning around abruptly and raising her hand to charge the pulse cannon in her palm.

But... it was still too late.

A foot lashed out from the night sky, striking Colonel Rhodes' head like a whip.

With a crisp, melodious clang, the sound echoed through the space of the globe-shaped building, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

Colonel Rhodes, on the other hand, spun around like a gourd until he landed to the side.

Cao Gui, having landed a successful blow, did not linger. He took a step and used the Moon Step technique to suddenly ascend to a higher altitude.

Peng!

At the same time, Tony's pulse cannon grazed past the soles of his feet, almost hitting Cao Gui.

"Oh dear, that was terrifying! I almost died!" Cao Gui patted his chest, looking terrified.

"Damn bastard, how dare you laugh at me!" Rhodes roared, activating the Gatling gun behind him to give Cao Guilai a good beating.

He had never fought Cao Gui before, and his nonchalant tone, coupled with his exaggerated words, immediately enraged Luo De.

However, Gatling did not fire as he had expected.

Because during Cao Gui's attack just now, that Gatling gun had been kicked to pieces.

However, although the Gatling gun did not fire, at the same time, the plasma whip, crackling with electric arcs, made a large circle and slashed horizontally towards Cao Gui.

However, just like before, under Cao Gui's terrifying speed, the plasma whip with its extremely long wind-up missed its target once again, hitting nothing.

Not only that, Yin Wan did not stop his attack after missing the target, but instead allowed the plasma to whip towards Rhodes in the distance.

Although they tacitly joined forces, they harbored ulterior motives towards each other and inevitably plotted against each other in secret.

"Rhode, watch out!" Tony exclaimed in surprise. Her thrusters suddenly activated, slamming into Rhode and preventing him from being cut in half at the waist.

"You bastard, what are you doing?" Rhodes stood up and shouted angrily.

"Hehehe, Sukabul!" Yinwan gave Rhodes the middle finger. Did this idiot forget that they were mortal enemies just now?

"Rhodes, that's enough," Toni said in a deep voice. "Take care of that masked man first, then we'll talk about other things."

Luo De suppressed his anger and turned his gaze to Cao Gui again. Yin Wan had the same idea: kill this guy of unknown origin first. He ruined my plans and can't be allowed to live!

Cao Gui shrugged. Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I'd better just kill him to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Peng!

Suddenly, the air exploded, and a huge crescent moon slashed out with a blue blade, cutting across Tony and Colonel Rhodes with lightning speed.

With a soft crackling sound, two whips came slashing diagonally from the left and right.

The instant Cao Gui made his move, Yin Wan also launched an attack.

He chose the perfect moment—the instant Cao Gui made his move, when the accumulated power had already been unleashed, and now was the time when he could no longer borrow strength.

but……

Whoosh!

As before, Cao Gui disappeared again, and Yin Wan's attack unexpectedly missed.

what! ?

Yin Wan's eyes narrowed, and he knew something was wrong. He immediately activated the thrusters to try and escape.

The masked man's fighting ability far exceeded his expectations. He couldn't continue fighting; if he did, his fate would likely be defeat and death.

Katcha... Pfft!

With a muffled thud, a bloodied arm emerged from Yin Wan's chest, piercing through his steel armor and his body.

Hey~

[The host has killed the supervillain Yin Wan, and has been rewarded with 1 merit points and 5 experience points.]

On the other side, Tony and his companion, who had just barely managed to dodge the slash from the storm kick, witnessed this scene as they stood up from the ground.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to be happy or scared; they hadn't expected Yin Wan to die so easily.

However, before they could make a move, their vision blurred and Cao Gui appeared before them like a ghost.

"Shit..."

Duang!

The two of them rolled their eyes and collapsed.

"That sounds good, it's a good start." Cao Gui nodded and praised.

But then again... should we kill these two?

Cao Gui pondered for a moment, looking at the two suits of steel armor, and then suppressed the thought of killing them.

Having just killed Yin Wancai and earned 10,000 merits, and considering that dealing with these two wouldn't yield much benefit, it's better to keep them to attract other super villains and turn them into golden goose hens.

"That's settled then." Cao Gui made up his mind, pried off their masks and reactors, and then threw Rhodes into the water beside them.

Having done all this, Cao Gui tapped his foot and disappeared.

"Rhodes...Rhodes..."

About a minute or two later, Rod woke up, vaguely hearing someone calling his name.

Upon seeing the missing piece of the reactor in Tony's armor, he was terrified.

"Shit!"

"Tony, are you alright?"

"Something's happened, and it's serious!" Tony cried, on the verge of tears. "Get me a reactor right now!"

"Damn it, I'm out of energy, I can't get out!"

"The armor has a forced activation function on the right arm. It works even without energy. I modified it."

"it is good!"

Rhode immediately followed Tony's instructions, forcibly opening his armor and then taking two reactors from the damaged steel robots. He installed one on his own armor to restore energy.

Then they forcibly tore open Tony's armor and stuffed the reactor into her chest.

"Thank goodness, I almost died." Tony breathed a sigh of relief.

the other side.

"System, how many merit points can this new reactor be exchanged for?"

[After system evaluation, the host's contribution of the Space Stone-like Elemental Miniature Ark Reactor will earn 300 million merit points. Confirm contribution?]

Imitation Space Stone elements?

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. This new element has such a big background... Oh, right, Howard studied the Cosmic Cube, so it's not surprising that he could come up with something for him.

However… Cao Gui frowned. He recalled that during the first Avengers game, it was said that the Tesseract and Captain America were buried deep in the Arctic Ocean.

But in Avengers: Endgame, Tony and Captain America find the Tesseract in a base in the 4s, which is... quite amazing.

Chapter 259 Peaceful and Tranquil Life... my ass!

morning

The sky was high and the clouds were light; the sun shone brightly.

Today, the Big Apple has no monsters, no weirdos, and no battles. Everything is peaceful and serene, and it looks so beautiful.

Cao Gui strolled leisurely down the street. He had nothing to do today, so he went to a brothel to listen to music... No, he was just shopping with his girlfriend.

Although a considerable amount of time has passed, and although the Stark Industries expo gave New Yorkers a great deal of confidence, Cao Gui and his friends have not yet returned to their normal lives. Classes have been suspended and have not yet resumed.

Cao Gui and Gwen walked down Fifth Avenue, a place ravaged by Abomination and Hulk, resembling a Syrian war-damaged architectural style.

In Cao Gui's view, he thought that the United States would do the same thing as before: an archaeological rescue, an assembly line-style cleanup of the ruins, and it would take ten or eight years to rebuild the area.

However, Cao Gui was wrong. This is Fifth Avenue, the very heart of New York City. It's impossible for them to just mess around like that.

During this period, the entire place has been restored, and the renovation is even better than before.

"This is the first time I've seen the New York City government so efficient," Gwen complained. Having lived in New York for so long, she knew all too well how slow they were at getting things done—almost like the United Nations, with small meetings every three days and big meetings every five days, just doing absolutely nothing.

"The Wall Street guys made their move," Cao Gui shrugged. "Capital can accomplish 99 percent of the world's things."

The remaining one percent is to put them on the streetlights.

“It’s much better here than before.” Gwen said, pointing to a storefront. “Come on, honey, let’s go check out Fifth Avenue.”

Fifth Avenue? Aren't we right there... oh, I mean the perfume shop?

Fifth Avenue is New York's most bustling commercial street, lined with numerous luxury stores where you can find all sorts of famous luxury brands.

“Huh?” Gwen suddenly stopped and pointed into the distance: “Honey, look at those two people, they… seem a little strange.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui looked up and saw a blond, wavy-haired, thin Asian elderly man standing in front of a car, arguing incessantly.

Perhaps because they were too far away, or because Fifth Avenue was too crowded and noisy, Cao Gui couldn't hear what they were saying at all; much of it was just meaningless chatter.

"Uh...it seems a little different, but then again, it doesn't seem like anything." Cao Gui scratched his head, somewhat conflicted. There was indeed something off about these two being together, but he couldn't rule out the possibility of an older man dating a younger woman.

“You’re right. It feels strange, but it doesn’t seem like anything.” Gwen nodded in agreement.

“Alright, let’s go, let’s go to Fifth Avenue…” Gwen grabbed Cao Gui’s arm and pulled him toward the perfume shop.

But soon, the two stopped again.

"Hey, Gwen, wow!" A girl came running over, her face full of surprise. It was Lucy, the bald detective's daughter.

Cao Gui's face fell. Oh no, two girls shopping together... that's going to be the death of him.
