Chapter 17 Black Knight
The yellow sand turned into a black broadsword, hitting the round shield that could cover half of his body.
Paired with the thick and gorgeous knight's armor, Obadiah at this time is like a knight stepping out of a medieval painting.
It's just different from the travel notes. The knights in the past were all chivalrous and righteous, but the knights at this time will only bring death.
Stomping heavily on the ground, his nimble steps approached Tony in an instant.
Obadiah had no expression on his face and just pointed the sword at Tony's chest.
The malfunction of the armor made it impossible for Tony to dodge. Although Luke beside him had already come to support him, the shield on Obadiah's left hand was swung forward, and the bound sand made it difficult for Luke to move even an inch.
The eagle eye in the distance fired several arrows in succession, and the special arrows had spider silk invisible to the naked eye.
The spider silk circled, gradually wrapping around Obadiah's body and entering the gaps in the armor. Then Hawkeye pressed the button on the longbow, and a powerful electric current appeared instantly.
After a burst of dazzling lightning, only a layer of dust appeared on Obadiah's body, and then he broke the restraints on his body with force and continued to rush towards Tony.
"The damage is being repaired, please wait"
"Jarvis, if you don't want to change your life, then hurry up!"
Just when Tony was about to leave the armor temporarily, a strong figure stood in front of him and at the same time set up the unbreakable shield.
Fire splashed everywhere, the sword and shield made a delicate cracking sound, and the two passed by each other.
Without saying a word, the two turned around and kicked at the same time. After the collision, they were evenly matched.
A single sword versus a round shield, one attack and one defense, the two flexible figures staged a wonderful martial arts game in front of everyone.
One only attacks but does not defend, and only uses the shield in his left hand to block harassing attacks from others when necessary.
One who is superb in defense but lacking in offense and needs outside help when necessary.
This is not a duel, just a fight against evil.
So when Steve's energy was about to run out, Luke and Jessica, who finally broke free, also took action.
"In ancient times, there were three heroes, Lu Bu, and now there are three heroes, Zhan Lao Deng."
“Wonderful, wonderful”
On the building in the distance, a man standing on the edge chuckled softly.
His body stood in the shadow under the building, with only one red palm illuminated by the sun. At the same time, as his fingers moved, Obadiah below also began to move, and the two were coordinated at the same frequency.
"There are three of us, so let's get a little more intense."
As he spoke, his free index and middle fingers began to wiggle slightly.
Below, the three of them worked together to gradually suppress Obadiah, but after a brief collision, the opponent threw away the buckler on his left hand.
The sand and soil gathered together, and another long sword appeared in his hand.
With swords crossed, Obadiah takes on three people at once.
If the previous battles were still within the scope of human fighting, then Obadiah at this time already had skills that were beyond ordinary people.
A pair of broad swords, just swinging them casually, can unleash slashes from a distance of more than ten meters.
Luke had an invulnerable body and could withstand it temporarily, but Jessica was different. After just a few scratches, a horrific wound appeared on her abdomen.
If Steve hadn't provided timely support, she might have been cut off at the waist.
"why is that?"
"Why is he suddenly so strong? Did Stan go to the swordsmanship cram school behind my back?"
Tony said with some confusion, while the temporary repair of the armor was completed.
Jarvis is not omnipotent. For example, Jarvis's scanning system cannot detect sudden changes in front of his eyes. In the end, he can only rely on the huge database to analyze Obadiah's movements.
Tony contacted Happy while giving answers based on Jarvis's analysis.
"How long do you have until you arrive!"
"Ten minutes, boss, give me ten more minutes!"
Happy was driving the truck on the road, with the accelerator under his feet already depressed.
At this time, the traffic lights have been ignored by him, and the sidewalk has become his time to catch up. As for the damage caused, he believes that his boss will handle it.
As for why he didn't use a helicopter, Happy glanced at the container at the back. Inside was Tony's latest research result, a three-meter-tall heavy armor.
With the current helicopter horsepower, there is no way it can carry this armor.
In the battlefield, Obadiah crossed his swords and blocked the incoming missiles in mid-air. Along with the explosions around him, the dust raised also obscured his figure.
At this time, Steve discovered that Obadiah was no longer as fierce as before, and his sword posture was mostly defensive.
Not only Steve, but Matt also discovered this problem.
"Obstruction, view?"
"Could it be that?"
Matt used his perception to spread around, but except for a few people present, he found no trace of anyone else.
However, he still spoke to several people through earphones.
"Temporarily blocking Obadiah's view"
"No, it's the outside world's view of him. I suspect someone is controlling him!"
From the rooftop in the distance, a sneer sounded, and the man who was waving his fingers gradually stopped.
"Hey, it still takes a short time to adapt."
"Forget it, that's it for today."
"Kill everyone, the main body will be angry"
"I don't want to miss this beautiful world"
The body walked out of the shadows. It was a person with the same appearance as Lu Xixian.
The difference is that the opponent's body only has one color.
silver.
From the decoration to the clothes, even the hair and pupils, it is all luxurious silver.
But when the vision came to the opponent's palm, the silver color had disappeared, and instead turned into two colors, one red and one blue.
The palms of different colors gently rubbed the corners of the clothes, and finally put on a pair of silver gloves.
As the sunlight tilted, the figure that was originally standing had disappeared.
Below, without the control of others, Obadiah's fighting level began to plummet.
But even so, Obadiah was still as ferocious as a tiger without fear of physical exertion. With the addition of a strong armor, everyone was still helpless in a short period of time.
Even as Tony's ammunition ran out, he was forced to step down and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
As for Hawkeye in the distance, seeing that there was only the last arrow left in his quiver, he put away his long bow and jumped off the roof to prepare for close support.
At this moment, there was a loud roar in the distance, and then a red truck passed through the damaged streets and came to Tony and others.
"boss!"
"Happy! You're finally here!"
"Everyone, cover me!"
Others nodded when they heard Tony's words, among which Steve took the lead and entangled Obadiah.
Turning over and entering the container on the truck, Tony looked at the new armor inside with a complicated expression.
The armor was built in such a hurry that it hadn't even been tested yet, but there was no time to test it now.
The mecha on his palm opened, and Tony took out the Ark Reactor that Obadiah had snatched, and then placed it on the chest of the giant armor.
But just when Tony was about to use it, his mind recalled the scene of Obadiah climbing up from the pit and ignoring various attacks.
"Maybe I can change my approach!"
After thinking about it, Tony looked at the energy on the armor and said to Jarvis.
"Jarvis, help me design a detonation program."
"Implant it into this armor!"
"I hope Stan will enjoy this final gift!"
Outside, Obadiah's movements became slower and slower. After losing the control of others, his original consciousness was taking over the control of his body.
After Tony prepared everything, Obadiah also looked this way.
"I...will...be, the new king of Stark Industries!"
The sword pointed forward, Obadiah felt the majestic power in his body, and roared for the last time.
But what greeted him was not ridicule, but a hard armor.
The armor separated and turned into countless combinable parts. The Ark Reactor was tightly attached to Obadiah's chest, and then countless parts were assembled together.
Then, under the control of Jarvis, the armor flew into the sky with Obadiah.
No matter how the opponent struggles, the armor is unbreakable.
"This is!"
"You don't want to..."
"That's right, Jarvis, start the self-destruct procedure!"
As Tony's order was issued, the program left in the suit began to operate, but after dozens of seconds passed, there was still no movement in the air.
Until Jarvis's voice sounded.
"Sir, the other party blocked my communication?"
"what?"
Watching the armor take off, Tony didn't expect such an accident. Obadiah was already having a hard time handling it, so he gave the opponent another armor. Thinking of this, Tony's face became even more ugly.
But at this moment, Hawkeye on the side picked up the longbow and pulled out the last arrow in his hand.
The arrows switch, and the last explosive arrow is shot by Hawkeye.
In a blink of an eye, as the arrow shot into the Ark reactor, the massive energy contained in it began to collide, and at the same time, it triggered the self-destruction program left by Jarvis.
There was a distorted explosion, and a deep singularity appeared in the sky. In the end, only a little bit of sand fell from the sky.
The first act is over.
Hawkeye calmly let go of the long bow and turned around, leaving behind a lonely figure.
St. Martins Sanatorium.
This is a comprehensive sanatorium and a secret branch of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Various medical experts from all over the world gather here to provide treatment for the sick and injured here.
In the last room at the corner of the third floor, outside the window is a big withered tree, with only two yellow leaves left on it.
With a knock on the door, a nurse in white medical uniform walked in and began to examine the old man on the bed.
After a brief examination, the nurse left quietly, but not long after, there was another knock on the door.
This time the old man on the bed looked towards the door, where a familiar figure appeared.
"Steve, long time no see"
"Me too, Paige."
Outside the door, Steve slowly lowered his right hand to knock on the door, his eyes full of love and nostalgia.
