Chapter 348 Battle for the Talisman

"Thanks, man."

The metal armor on his arm brought some peace of mind to Tony. He raised his arm and pointed a blue light source in the palm of his hand at Mark43 in front of him. Tony did not forget to turn his head and thank the Ghost Rider for helping him.

"..."

Turning his wrist to retract the chain around Tony's waist, Ghost Rider nodded silently.

After all, Tony is not the Hulk or Thor who act recklessly when they have a disagreement, and Ghost Rider is not an evil being completely controlled by demonic power. Therefore, the expected scene of Iron Man vs. Ghost Rider did not appear. After a brief exchange between the two, they quickly figured out that the source of the problem came from within the museum.

However, because he needed to resolve the relationship with the big dinosaur outside the museum, the other party was able to enter the museum a little later than Tony.

"It seems that your goodbye scene didn't happen as expected."

He retracted his gaze behind him and turned back to Mark43 in front of him. The expression on Tony's face immediately returned to solemnity.

He knew very well that the situation at hand was not alleviated by the appearance of Ghost Rider. As the producer of Mark43, Tony was very aware of the danger of this steel suit.

Especially, after he upgraded it again.

"It's just a slight deviation in the plan." Bending his head slightly, Mark43 looked at Tony in front of him and said calmly in a tone similar to Tony: "As long as a slight correction is needed, this problem will be solved. What's more, , do you think you are the only one who is prepared, Tony, you seem to have forgotten that you and I are not the only ones in the museum."

"Well, in fact, I am a human being, but you are just a suit."

Not to be outdone, he hit back at Mark43, but the other person's words were obviously what Tony had always been worried about.

As Mark43 said, in addition to the resurrected Mark43, there are also various other resurrected exhibits in the museum.

With a white light flashing in his eyes, Mark43 looked at the smooth-talking Tony in front of him, and said in an increasingly cold tone: "Even without the suit, you are still as annoying as ever, Tony Stark."

Tony: "Thank you for the compliment."

Tony was not ashamed of this, but instead shrugged with pride.

"I will miss you, Tony, when you die."

The arc reactor on the chest glowed slightly golden. After combining the laser technology of the "Pacifist" robot, the Mark43's cluster cannon has also undergone obvious changes, not only in terms of color but also power.

Of course, when he upgraded, Tony never expected that the first person to taste the power of the cluster cannon would be himself as a reformer.

"I have to say, this is really a ironic thing."

Looking at the concentrated beam of light on Mark43's chest, Tony curled his lips in a rather self-deprecating manner, but without any hesitation in his hand movements, he fired two blast cannons directly towards the joints of Mark43's toes.

As the maker of the Mark 43, he knows the various structures and internal circuits of the suit. Naturally, he also knows the weak points of the Mark 43 compared to other parts of the suit. After all, the steel suit is designed to be a loading tool. Therefore, even if Tony has tried his best to improve the defensive capabilities of the suit, there are often parts that cannot be taken into account. For example, the moving joints of the toes he is attacking at this moment. In order to be able to rotate and deform, each joint part of the suit is destined to need to be set aside. analyze.

In fact, this is why Tony has always cared about nanotechnology, and after the battle with the "pacifist" robots in Hell's Kitchen, he immediately collected the remains of the robots, especially Kingpin's body. Because only by truly upgrading the suit to the nano version can we truly achieve the possibility of no dead ends in defense.

Through studying the remains of the "Pacifist" robot, Tony has already gotten some clues, but if he wants to apply it directly to the suit, it will take some time to digest it.

Although Mark43 cannot enhance the defensive capabilities of the armor's joints, as the consciousness born in the armor, Mark43's degree of control over his own body is obviously far greater than Tony's, especially after the weight of a controller is missing from the body. , the response speed of Mark43 has been further improved.

Therefore, as early as the second before Tony launched the attack, it had already risen into the air with the shock wave ejected from his palm.

"Feel the power of your new weapon, Tony."

Suspended in the sky above the museum, Mark43 looked down at Tony on the ground, and a similar tone slowly came from the helmet.

Immediately afterwards, the cluster cannon shock wave condensed from the chest instantly turned into a dazzling pale golden light and exploded out.

boom--

"Now it's proven that my original idea was correct."

Using the gauntlets on both arms, he used the shock wave to dodge the cluster cannon attack at the critical moment. Tony looked down at the huge crater created by Mark 43 in the museum and blurted out.

"Sir, now is not the time to lament the power of weapons. Mark43 is obviously more familiar with the attack weapons on his body, so your current situation is not optimistic."

Hearing Tony's sigh, Jarvis in the headset immediately gave a reminder.

"Of course I know that."

Facing Jarvis's reminder, Tony responded calmly. He glanced at his father and clone [Uncle Long] not far away, and said silently in his heart: "In fact, the real battlefield is never Here with me."

After being reminded by Little Spider, Tony knew that neither the resurrected exhibit in the museum nor the Mark 43 in front of him was the key to the problem.

The key to everything lies in the spell.

As long as the power of the spell can be contained, all the problems at hand, including the resurrected Mark43, will be restored to their original state, just like the time when he helped the little spider find the [Tiger Talisman].

Therefore, from before, the purpose of everything Tony did was to help his father and the foundation's containment expert [Uncle Long] delay for enough time.

Although, there was a big gap between this delayed process and what he originally expected.

At least, in Tony's original expectation, he did not expect that the Mark 43 carried on his body would also become a member of the resurrection in the museum.

"It seems powerful, but an attack that fails to hit the target is useless no matter how powerful it is. It seems that although you have life, the power that gives you life obviously does not give you the power to match it. IQ, oh, I forgot, Mark43, your head is just a shell."

With hidden eyes, Tony spoke from his father who was mumbling unexplained spells. Tony looked at Mark43 in mid-air and repeatedly used his talent for poisonous tongues.

"Not bad for provoking Tony, but you are still seeking death as usual."

Faced with Tony's merciless harsh words, even though he knew the other person's personality, Mark43 was still successfully aroused by him.

With a dazzling white light flashing in his eyes, Mark43 gathered a pale golden light on his chest and was about to launch another attack, but in the next moment, he seemed to remember something in vain.

"Wait a minute." The process of condensing energy in the arc reactor on his chest was slightly stagnant. Mark43 lowered his head and looked at Tony on the ground. Although the metal face did not seem to have changed, the tone in the helmet was obviously full of doubts. Meaning: "The Tony I said I know is not just a talker. You have no hidden purpose at all, Tony Stark. You are using provocative means to cover up something more important."

The words coming from Mark43's body caused Tony's face to change slightly.

With a forced smile on his lips, Tony looked at Mark43 suspended in mid-air and said forcefully: "Maybe you are mistaken, I am just talking."

"No."

Obviously, Tony's reaction further confirmed what Mark43 had guessed.

Turning his metal face, Mark43 quickly noticed his father who was mumbling something not far away, and [Uncle Long] standing next to him holding a charm.

On the other side, feeling Mark43's gaze, the clone [Uncle Long] couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Tony's delaying method not only attracted Mark43's attention, but also attracted the attention of the surrounding resurrected stone sculptures. For a time, the two clones were caught in a rather embarrassing situation. On the one hand, they needed to prepare for the magic according to their identities, but on the other hand, they could not actively attract the attention of these resurrection exhibits.

If time is allowed to go on, maybe it will take time to complete the suppression of the spell magic that dad said.

By then, the whole situation will undoubtedly become quite embarrassing.

Therefore, as early as a minute ago, the clone [Uncle Long] had been prepared. If it didn't work, he would use the power of [Resurrection Golden Monument]. In short, he would create a little accident to regain the attention that was taken away by Tony.

Fortunately, you don't need to be avatar to achieve this step, Mark43 has already reacted first.

Of course, although he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, on the surface, the clone [Uncle Long] still put on an expression as if he had been discovered, and said anxiously to the father who was pretending to recite the spell: "What should I do, father, they are watching again" Come here, how long do you need?"

"...The demons and ghosts leave quickly, the demons and ghosts leave quickly..."

Facing [Uncle Long]'s inquiry, Dad still looked attentive and magical.

"Charms."

Looking at the octagonal stone exposed in the avatar's clenched palm, Mark43 muttered to himself subconsciously, and then the white light in his eyes flashed frequently, and he quickly shouted to the resurrection exhibits in the museum: "Quickly stop those two people. If they succeed in suppressing the power of the spell, we will all return to our original appearance."

"Damn, I actually ignored such a crucial thing."

Following Mark43’s reminder, the resurrection exhibits in the museum responded one after another.

The bust of Roosevelt cursed secretly, and while directing the headless female statue underneath him to rush to the clone's position, he shouted: "Spell, that is the source of our life, we must stop the other side."

"Monkey, get the charm back."

The bulky body of the doll meant that Adolf was unable to react quickly, but he obviously understood the critical nature of the situation and quickly shouted to the monkey stone sculpture on his shoulder.

"Jiji~"

Upon hearing Adolf's order, the monkey stone sculpture immediately rushed over on hands and feet.

Not only the resurrected statues, but all the exhibits in the museum were reminded by Mark43 that they understood the critical nature of the situation. Feeling the huge threat to their lives in just two hours, the exhibits in each exhibition area flocked to The direction of Dad and his clone [Uncle Long].

In the sky, a flock of iron birds made a sharp cry and flapped their sharp wings towards the clones' position.

"Why, it's me who's unlucky every time."

Facing the densely packed museum exhibits, the clone [Uncle Long] said with a bitter look on his face: "Or, it's a problem with the character cards."

"Dad, hurry up, I can't hold on for too long."

Turning his head and saying something to his father who was still mumbling, the clone [Uncle Long] looked at the resurrection exhibit coming towards him, leaving only this sentence in a hurry, turned around without thinking and started to escape with his signature eight-character steps. career.

"Tough luck, bad luck, bad luck!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing that his procrastination was revealed by Mark43, the expression on Tony's face immediately changed.

Watching the containment experts trying to dodge while being pursued by the museum's resurrected exhibits, Tony knew very well that in such a situation, even the containment experts would not be able to hold on for too long.

Unless the other party uses abnormal power, which is the so-called power of the contained object.

However, thinking of the previous scene of the containment expert [Uncle Long] using the containment object, Tony immediately made a decision, and he must not let the situation get so bad that the other party used the containment object.

"Skeleton man, looking at the situation in front of us, it's obvious that we need your help to stop it."

Looking down at the gauntlets on his arms, Tony turned to the Ghost Rider beside him without hesitation and asked.

In the current situation, relying solely on the two arm armors on his hands is obviously a drop in the bucket.

"..."

Tony's name caused the flames in Ghost Rider's eyes to flicker involuntarily. However, in the end he listened to the Iron Man's request and waved the chain in his hand. The next moment, the chain wrapped in hellfire seemed like a terrifying... The flames fell directly in front of the resurrection exhibits, creating a tall wall of fire that blocked the path of some of the exhibits.

At the same time, Tony did not stop his actions. He raised his palm and pointed it at the little spider fixed by the strange stone sculpture not far away: "Child, now is not the time to rest."

The impact cannon fired from the palm landed on the arm of the stone sculpture. Although the stone sculpture was not damaged due to the protection of the power of the [Resurrection Golden Monument], the huge force generated by the shock wave still caused the stone sculpture to shake.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Tony, the little spider burst out with superhuman strength in an instant and took the opportunity to break free from the stone sculpture.

"Phew, thank you, Mr. Stark, if it weren't for you, I might..."

Leaving the stone sculpture that tightly fixed him, Peter jumped a few times to a position far enough away from the stone sculpture, and then said with a frightened expression.

"Now is not the time to say thank you, kid."

After interrupting the little spider's thanks, Tony looked at the increasingly chaotic museum as the chase continued, and reminded: "If the power of the spell cannot be suppressed, the problems we will encounter may be more troublesome than before."
