Tony: Transform! Nuclear Kick! This is true manly romance!

"Stark!!"

Ivan swung his arms, and two plasma whips containing temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius lashed the ground hard.

Snap! Boom!

The asphalt road was cut open like tofu, and two charred ravines stretched down to Tony's feet.

"Can you feel it? This is the rage of the Vanke family after forty years!"

Ivan's face was contorted with rage, his gold teeth gleaming coldly in the firelight. "I'll tear your armor off piece by piece!"

Rhodes looked at the monster in front of him, which was twice the size of his war machine, and swallowed hard.

"Tony, this guy looks tough... Should we call for backup? Or maybe use your tentacle monsters to tie him up?"

"Support? No."

Tony hovered in mid-air, his silver mask reflecting the opponent's ferocious figure.

He didn't even adopt a defensive stance; instead, he sighed helplessly, his voice filled with deep disappointment.

"That shrewd businessman Li is right, you really are just a nobody on the street."

"What did you say?!" Ivan roared, his whips charging again, the dazzling electric light illuminating the night sky in a ghastly white light.

"I said...you're too slow, and too ugly."

Tony landed slowly on the ground.

The next second, to Rhodes and Ivan's astonishment, the silver symbiote armor covering Tony receded like a tide.

He deactivated his strongest defense?

"Tony, what are you doing?" Rhodes' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Tony stood between the wreckage of two abandoned steel soldiers, his legs slightly apart.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his right hand, drew an arc in front of him, and finally stopped at his waist.

His left hand was clenched into a fist and placed at his waist, while his right hand was placed in front of him with the five fingers spread and the palm facing outward.

"Henshin!"

Tony gave a low shout.

silence.

A deathly silence.

Even the distant sirens stopped.

"..." Rod opened his mouth wide, completely at a loss for words to describe his current feelings.

"Tony, did you go to the circus for training? Or did you get seriously injured?"

Ivan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.

"Ignorance is truly tragic."

Tony ignored the other person's taunts.

hum! !

An ancient and domineering aura surged into the sky.

Golden lightning suddenly exploded, and the golden-red bio-armor rapidly spread across Tony's limbs and bones.

All-powerful form, here we come!

"This is... power."

Tony clenched his fist. "Thank me, Ivan. I'll give you a chance to fight in Phase Two."

"You're playing tricks! Go to hell!"

Enraged by the inexplicable aura, Ivan roared and charged forward in his mech, his two plasma whips crisscrossing and lashing out at Tony's neck.

"Too slow."

The ground beneath Tony's feet exploded with a deafening roar, and he transformed into a golden-red lightning bolt, advancing instead of retreating!

Just as the electric whip was about to touch him, he suddenly ducked down and stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

boom!

Tony leaped high into the air, tracing a perfect parabola.

He tumbled in the air, his right foot enveloped in an extremely dense golden energy, so bright that it even overshadowed the moonlight tonight.

Beneath his feet, a strange ancient script seal was rapidly taking shape.

"All-around kick!"

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

Ivan raised his heavy titanium arm to try and block, his eyes full of disdain: "Trying to kick through my armor? Dream on!"

Bang! ! !

The light from Tony's right foot imprinted itself on the chest of his Whiplash Armor, leaving an inconspicuous dent without sparks flying.

Tony did a backflip, landed gracefully, and turned his back to Ivan.

"Hey! What are you pretending for?"

Ivan's voice was full of confusion, and he even seemed to want to laugh.

He didn't feel any harm at all, just a slight numbness in his chest.

"Playing tricks, take this!" Ivan was about to control his mech to turn around and attack Tony and Rhodes.

Rhodes raised his hand in horror, pointing at Ivan's chest: "No... man, look at your chest..."

Ivan lowered his head.

A golden-red mark appeared where the kick had landed.

The mark seemed alive, spreading outwards in a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks.

"burst."

Tony snapped his fingers without turning around.

Boom!!!

The next instant, the whip-lock armor, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, exploded violently at the molecular level.

Flames shot into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud!

That wasn't an external explosion, but rather a complete annihilation caused by the detonation of internal energy.

The shockwave sent Rhodes' war machine flying more than ten meters away, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough cough... Damn it! What kind of move is that?!" Rhodes got up, covered in dust, and looked ahead.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The once imposing ultimate armor has vanished, leaving only burning fragments scattered across the ground.

In the center of the ruins, Ivan lay on the ground, his body charred black, his legs gone, but his strong will to live kept him alive.

His eyes no longer held arrogance, only endless fear.

"You devil...you are a devil..."

Da, da, da.

The sound of metal boots hitting the ground rang out.

"I am not the devil, I am Iron Man."

Tony's voice was as cold as iron, without any hesitation.

Bang!

Step on it.

Ivan didn't even have time to let out a final scream before he turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished from the world completely.

Tony wouldn't give them a second chance.

"call……"

Tony stared blankly at his hands, which were encased in bio-armor.

"Is this the true power of Kuuga? What was I even doing all this time?"

Just then, a pink portal suddenly opened out of thin air next to the ruins.

Li Ang walked out with a half-finished glass of champagne in his hand and a look of disgust on his face.

He kicked a piece of still-smoking sheet metal on the ground with his toe and shook his head.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this the quality of villains in today's environment?"

Li Ang sighed, "Obadia used to draw gashapon from me before, at least he could fight you back and forth."

"This whip-wielding toy is just a giant toy stuffed with LED lights."

"If you hadn't deliberately retracted the symbiote armor, this guy wouldn't have even been able to get to the second phase."

"Fuck! Damn Lee!" Tony's visor snapped open, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance. "This is my moment of glory, can you stop acting like a film critic and pointing fingers?"

Li Ang took a sip of his drink. "Just a friendly reminder, things don't seem to be over yet..."

Beep beep beep!

A sudden, sharp alarm sounded all around.

The hundreds of Hammer drones that had been reduced to scrap metal now had their reactors glowing a dangerous red light.

"Although Ivan is dead, the self-destruct program he set is still active."

Li Ang slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about it.

"Damn it! There are still many civilians who haven't been evacuated!" Rhodes exclaimed in alarm.

"No...it's not just here!"

Tony's face turned deathly pale. He turned to look in the direction of Stark Tower in the distance, his voice trembling.

"Pots! Pepper's still at the company! There's the wreckage of a mech I just casually destroyed!"

What if that mech also self-destructs...

"Jarvis! Calculate the explosion countdown!"

"One minute and twenty seconds, sir."

"Damn it!"

Tony didn't have time to explain; his legs buckled violently, and all his energy surged into them in an instant.

"Rhodes! You're in charge here!"

boom!

The ground cracked, and Tony transformed into a golden-red streak of light, shooting into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-white symbiote armor covered his entire body, carrying him rapidly toward Stark Tower.

"Faster, faster!"

Tony gritted his teeth and pushed the Symbiote Armor to its limit.

boom!

With a deafening roar that broke the sound barrier, black lightning crackled around Tony, and a layer of black and gold bio-armor rapidly emerged.

……

The top floor of Stark Tower.

Pepper Potts was looking at the wrecked mech with a puzzled expression. She wanted to leave, but the mech was right at the exit.

"Tony..." She closed her eyes in despair.

Beep—beep—beep—!

The last three seconds.

boom!

The French windows shattered, and a dark figure crashed in.

The figure didn't slow down at all; its hard metal arm grabbed her waist and, propelled by inertia, crashed through the wall on the other side, shooting into the sky.

Boom!!!

The mech exploded the moment they rushed out of the building, less than ten meters away.

The fireball engulfed the top-floor office, and the shockwave swept over Tony's back.

Tony held Potts tightly in his arms, and the symbiote armor on his back multiplied wildly, managing to withstand all the shrapnel and shockwaves from the explosion.

for a long time.

The two were suspended in mid-air.

Tony's visor popped open, revealing a face with a smile of relief.

Hey, Potts

He looked at the still-shaken woman in his arms, panting heavily, his voice trembling as he tried to sound relaxed.

"Did I tell you that those fireworks were a belated birthday present I prepared for you?"

Potts stared at him blankly, tears welling up in his eyes.

This time, she didn't call him crazy, nor did she complain.

She wrapped her arms around Tony's neck and kissed him deeply, hundreds of meters in the air.

"Shut up, Tony..."

"Don't scare me like that again."

……

at the same time.

An underground base of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Dr. Eric Selvig stood in front of the experimental table, his eyes fixed on the blue cube that was suspended in the center of the device.

The light emanating from the Cosmic Cube seems to possess a certain magic, capable of captivating the soul.

"Thor, wait for me to come back..."
