The thunderous sound echoed through the sky, reaching Steve and Peggy, who were swimming in the sea. The two immediately went to check what was happening.

Tony leaped past Banner, who was gasping for breath after his arm was broken, his voice beneath the mask utterly indifferent.

"Banner, your starting point is indeed very high. Even among superpowered individuals, there are probably few in the Void Cult whose starting point can match or be compared to yours."

"This is something I don't want to admit, but I can't deny."

"That's why I fight against people like you who have superpowers."

"I won't encounter situations where I can't even fight you because of some innate deficiency, but it has wasted a lot of my brain cells."

"You are not my match right now."

Tony looked down at Banner and declared his victory.

As one of the top experts in the Void Cult, Tony was extremely confident in his own strength.

Furthermore, they have already made a clear plan for their future growth path.

Due to technological limitations, he still had Uru metal that he couldn't utilize.

If he were to create armor made of Uru metal, his strength would be even more terrifying, and it would be hard to say who would be stronger in the future.

"Thank you for showing mercy, I'll take it."

Upon hearing Tony's words, Banner, supporting his broken right arm with his left hand and enduring excruciating pain, struggled out of the pit and whispered, drenched in cold sweat.

He originally thought that he had full control over the Hulk and enhanced his regenerative abilities, which would be enough to deal with Tony.

His prediction was indeed correct; he was not afraid of Tony in his Iron Man armor at all.

But to his surprise, Tony pulled out a brand new suit of armor that could break his arm with a single kick.

He knew that this was only because Tony had shown mercy; otherwise, that kick would have been aimed directly at his head.

Even if he doesn't die, he will be injured and fall into a coma, turning into fish meat on a cutting board.

He now realized that the actual battlefield where he fought the enemy was far more complex than he had imagined.

Chapter 265 The Direction of Equilibrium

Steve and Peggy rushed over when they heard the noise and saw a wrecked forest with a series of terrifying holes.

Steve felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the figure in armor and Banner's injured appearance.

Steve looked at the gold and red armor. Although it was different from what he had seen before, he knew it was Tony from the flames burning in the armor and the purple arc reactor.

"You two are fighting without inviting me to watch?"

Steve took a deep breath and then spoke.

"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and you were swimming so I didn't have time to remind you."

"However, the outcome has already been decided."

Upon hearing this, Tony looked over and, upon recognizing Steve, exited Void Mode. His armor began to peel off, and his aura returned to its usual harmless state.

"Are you okay?"

Then, Tony looked at Banner and asked.

"Didn't you call me? And you're asking me if I'm okay?"

Banner was speechless when he saw Tony's personality, which was completely different from when they were fighting.

"There's nothing I can do. You're very strong. If I don't go all out in a fight with you, I probably won't be able to defeat you."

"And I know you've evolved your regenerative abilities, so I went a bit harder."

"You were the one who said you could have a go at me, you should be alright, right?"

Tony shrugged and said he didn't want to either, then asked with some concern.

"If this injury is kept in Hulk mode, it should heal itself in about five minutes, it'll just be a little painful."

Upon hearing these words, Banner knew he couldn't blame Tony. After looking at the injury on his limp right arm, he spoke up.

"You can fix a broken bone in just a few minutes? Your physical strength and recovery ability are truly abnormal."

Tony listened to Banner's words and said with some emotion.

Normally, for anyone, any broken bone is considered a serious injury, and recovery requires at least a period of rest.

However, the fact that Banner was able to finish in just a few minutes means that even if Banner suffered more serious injuries, as long as he doesn't die, he'll probably be back to his old self in a day or two.

This is only because Banner received the blessing of the Void not long ago. As Banner continues to evolve, he might be injured one second and recovered the next.

How did you two start fighting?

After Steve saw Tony return, he got into another fight with Banner.

"Banner's strength has improved a lot, and he thinks he can now defeat me."

"So I sparred with him for a bit."

Tony casually replied upon hearing this.

"I was confident I could beat you in your Iron Man armor, but who would have thought you'd pull out a Vibranium suit?"

Banner was also somewhat exhausted upon hearing this.

He specifically chose the tank build to counter enemies like Tony.

Because Tony, to put it bluntly, relies on extremely high combat skills and speed, supplemented by technological combat. As long as Tony cannot seriously injure him, he can win the battle at any time.

As a result, Tony changed into a vibranium suit of armor, and his strength in a head-on confrontation was terrifying. He destroyed one of Tony's arms with a single blow.

How he should deal with opponents like Tony in the future may require adjusting the direction of his evolution depending on the situation.

"You've chosen the right path, but you haven't evolved enough yet."

"You lack too many things, and you have some skills, but not many."

"Although I won't stand still and let you surpass me, if you do surpass me someday in the future, I will still congratulate you."

Tony patted Banner on the shoulder as he leaped into the air and said earnestly.

"Banner couldn't beat you, Tony, just how strong are you?"

Steve was somewhat shocked when he heard their conversation and looked at Tony to ask.

He practically witnessed Banner's growth firsthand, and he even taught Banner all his fighting skills.

He knew that Banner's current strength was terrifying, and he was completely no match for Banner.

However, Banner lost to Tony once again, making him curious about just how much Tony's skills had improved.

"I have now evolved 297 times and am about to break through the 300-evolution mark."

"In terms of strength, he is capable of physically reaching the universe, which puts him among the top in the Void God Cult. He is not someone who is easily defeated."

Tony smiled and said upon hearing this.

"How many top-tier members does the Void God Cult have?"

Steve was curious when he heard Tony's words.

"There are seven in total. Besides them, you've met four of them before, namely Renoli and his group."

"And then there are the spokespeople, Sonia and Enma Alex."

Tony thought for a moment after hearing this and then spoke.

"The spokespeople, Sonia and Enma Alex?"

"What kind of people are they, and what abilities do they possess?"

Upon hearing this, Steve's eyes flashed, and he asked.

"I don't know what abilities they possess; I only know that they are very strong, no weaker than me."

"In a short time, Banner should also be able to join the ranks of the top experts of the Void God Cult."

Tony wanted to explain himself, but he didn't know much about it.

"Tony, stop trying to comfort me."

"I thought I was already very strong, but after fighting you, I realized I'm still far from that level."

Banner was both amused and exasperated by Tony's words.

“I’m not lying. When Renoli and the others praised you, they saw that you had great potential.”

"To be honest, although you haven't evolved many times yet, in terms of strength you have already entered the top ranks."

"Ordinary strong people are no match for you, and may not even be able to break through your defense."

"You've only lost to me now, so there's no need to be so timid and think that your strength is still weak."

Tony looked at Banner seriously and said.

"Thank you."

Banner felt much relieved after hearing Tony's words, as he had been feeling somewhat dejected from being easily defeated.

"So when will I be able to reach the top tier you mentioned?"

Steve asked, somewhat concerned, after hearing Tony's words.

"For a conventional genetically modified human like you, without the help of other external forces..."

"If you want to reach the top, then you need to evolve at least dozens of times ahead of me."

"Then it can be accomplished with the help of superb and rich combat experience and skills."

Upon hearing this, Tony glanced at Steve and noticed that Steve's body was stronger than before, and his breathing had become extremely slow. He then spoke up.

Although Lacey joined later than him, Lacey's number of evolutions was more than forty times higher than his.

He is currently the person in the Void Cult who has undergone the most evolutions, second only to Lix.

Furthermore, Lacey often received guidance from Renoli, Kyle, and the Predictor, and they sparred and fought with each other, making her path of evolution very clear and definite.

It can be said that Lacey put in a lot of effort to achieve such strength and status, which allowed her to rise to the top and become one of the strongest members of the Void God Cult.

Steve and Lacey started from roughly the same point, so if Steve wants to catch up, he obviously needs to reach Lacey's level.
