Chapter 3

: Refusing to draw the knife! A real man never stares at an explosion!

Outside the cave, a one-sided massacre was taking place.

No, to be more precise, it was a violent art exhibition called Kuuga.

boom!

A pickup truck loaded with heavy machine guns was kicked away, tumbling three and a half times in the air before smashing into the sniper hiding behind it.

Tony Stark didn't even bother to dodge.

The rocket, trailing a fiery exhaust, struck the dark red breastplate and exploded in a burst of fire. As the smoke cleared, he lightly patted away imaginary dust from his chest, and his compound eyes blazed with a brilliant red light.

"Monster! He's a devil!"

The remaining terrorists collapsed; they were not facing a human, but a humanoid tank clad in red armor!

Tony flashed forward, grabbed Leader Lazar by the neck with one hand, and tied him to the warhead of the missile.

"enjoy it!"

Tony's cold voice came from beneath the mask.

Several leather straps tightened around Lazar, who turned around, ignoring the wails behind him, and deactivated his transformation.

The light faded, and a wave of exhaustion washed over him, but he had no time to catch his breath.

"Ethan!"

Tony stumbled back into the cave.

Ethan is still inside.

He was in a frenzy and forgot that Ethan wasn't wearing armor.

In the room just now, Li Ang was still sitting to the side, holding a bottle of iced cola that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

In the corner, Ethan leaned against the wall, his expression somewhat ferocious.

In the chaotic gunfight just now, although Tony attracted most of the firepower, a stray bullet still hit Ethan.

"Tony, don't worry about me, go back and do what you need to do..."

Ethan had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but a relieved smile on his face. "I never intended to get out of here alive anyway."

"My family is all dead, so there's no point in me living."

"Damn it! Even Satan would have to ask Stark Industries for permission before he could recruit anyone!"

despair.

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

Even if he created the Mark 1 and became a Kamen Rider, he still couldn't save his friend.

Tony knelt on the ground, pressing his hands tightly against the wound, but he couldn't stop the life force from flowing away.

"You can save him! Right!"

Tony turned his head sharply, staring at the Asian youth who was still sitting with his legs crossed, his eyes bloodshot.

"Save him! I'll give you whatever money you want! As much as you need!"

Li Ang shook the iced cola in his hand, listening to the sound of the bubbles popping, and frowned slightly.

"Tsk, Mr. Stark, you've lost control of your facial expressions."

"I'm not kidding! Save him!" Tony roared.

"Don't waste it, Tony." Ethan grabbed Tony's arm and weakly shook his head. "This is my fate, but I'm so glad I saw the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life..."

"Alright, alright, stop giving your last words. It's like I'm on the set of a tragic movie."

Li Ang interrupted the atmosphere of life and death.

He stood up, walked up to the two of them, and held something that looked like a broad bean in his hand.

"Knives are not allowed in my script."

Li Ang stuffed the bean into Ethan's mouth.

"Chew it up and swallow it. This thing is called a Senzu Bean. As long as you have a breath left, even if your head is cut off..."

"Well, losing your head might not be an option, but this gunshot wound is nothing to you."

Ethan chewed twice unconsciously and swallowed.

next second.

A miracle happened.

I saw granulation tissue grow, scab over, and fall off at a speed visible to the naked eye from that fatal bullet hole.

It took less than three seconds.

Ethan, whose face had been ashen, suddenly had a strange flush on his face, and his withered muscles even seemed to fill out a bit.

"Hmm!"

Ethan suddenly opened his eyes, leaped to his feet, and instinctively touched his chest: "I...I'm not in pain anymore?"

Tony froze, looking at Ethan and then at Leon.

Is this the power of gashapon merchants?

This is totally illogical!

Did the law of conservation of energy go to waste? Does cell division not require time?

At this moment, Tony Stark's worldview completely collapsed and then rebuilt.

"Don't look at me like I'm God."

Li Ang patted Tony on the shoulder and casually slipped a black metal card into his pocket.

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces, but metaphysics is the primary life-saving force."

"Cheng Hui, consider this Senzu Bean a free gift, after all, you are my first VIP."

Tony touched the cold card, his throat dry: "Who are you?"

"Me?" Li Ang laughed, his figure began to become illusory, along with the gashapon machine.

"Just a gashapon vendor passing by."

"By the way, Tony."

Just as Li Ang was about to disappear, his voice echoed in the air.

"Next time you run into that old relic with the shield, remember to recommend me to him."

"I think he's quite suitable to become light. I've even thought of a name for him: Captain of Light, Tiga."

"See you later."

The sound dissipated.

Only Tony and a fully recovered Ethan remained in the cave.

Tony touched the belt around his waist, then the cold card in his pocket.

This is not a dream.

"Let's go, Ethan."

Tony helped Ethan up, his eyes sharpening.

"Come with me to set off a big fireworks display."

……

Ten minutes later.

When Colonel Rhodes arrived with his rescue team, he was stunned by what he saw.

The entire terrorist base was reduced to ruins.

Terrorist leader Raza was strapped to a missile and was screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

In the center of the ruins.

Tony Stark supported Ethan, with piles of Stark Industries missiles behind them.

"Hey! Rod! Over here!"

Tony, holding the detonator in his hand, flashed his signature flamboyant smile at the helicopter in the sky.

Then, press the button.

Rumble!

A bright orange fireball soared into the sky, its massive shockwave whipping up a cloud of yellow sand before finally forming a small mushroom cloud in the air.

Against the backdrop of towering flames, Tony Stark did not turn back.

With his back to the explosion, he gave his old friend Rod a thumbs-up in an extremely flamboyant manner.

Kuuga - Like.

……

Meanwhile, Li Ang returned to his gashapon shop through the system.

[First transaction completed; system upgrade progress 0.1%.]

Li Ang opened the system panel, feeling a mixture of nervousness and joy.

The feeling in the movie is completely different from reality. It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited to see Tony shooting irons in person.

"From today onwards, the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to go completely astray."

"I wonder if the Bureau's God of Stories and the Ancient One will notice me. They can't just correct me outright, can they?"

Li Ang's nervousness was not unfounded; he had only worn the clothes yesterday.

The system is activated at the start, and you inherit a 30-square-meter gashapon shop. You don't even know if your identity information or level exists.

It's fair to say that he's an unregistered person in the Marvel universe.

Selling gashapon toys on such a large scale and causing such a disturbance will likely attract the attention of many people.

[Host, you don't need to worry about this. Just sell gashapon toys and do what you want. The system will automatically shield you from the secrets of heaven.]

With the system's assurance, Li Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze swept across the system panel, finally landing on Today's Mall.
