I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 239 Giving Tony a Small Numerical Shock

Of course, the fact that Obadiah took notice of them and that they had the audacity to attack US troops suggests that this terrorist organization likely had far more than just a dozen or so members.

Therefore, during the short time Riley was questioning them, the terrorists who heard the explosion and realized that something was wrong began to spontaneously gather around, even without orders from their leader.

In this situation, Riley could actually use the dimensional barrier to take Ethan and Tony away directly.

However, considering Tony's temper and Ethan's family, who died at the hands of these beasts...

Riley neither simply walked away nor intended to continue interfering.

Instead, he walked to the workshop table, picked up the blueprints for the Iron Man suit, and a mask whose outline had just been made.

Currently, due to the system's lottery function being out of service and not yet back online, the only option is to increase attributes, which have been raised all the way to fourteen points, just slightly lower than Tony's intelligence attribute.

Riley quickly understood Tony's design intent, and then, under Tony's bewildered gaze, she bent the edges of the mask by hand, like origami. She then took Tony's place and completed the final finishing touches on the mask.

Then he turned around, held up the mask in his hand, and personally put it on Tony.

"...Okay, I understand now. Everything I'm experiencing is just an absurd dream...or rather, I was already dead when the convoy was attacked?"

Of course, for the creature in front of us... well... for now, it should be called "human," not even the step of heating up the mask to increase its malleability is needed. With just his bare hands, he possesses the terrifying brute force to bend solid metal.

Tony, who had always believed in science, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief and was completely dumbfounded.

Until the mask was on my face, I could feel the lingering warmth from those fingers gripping it.

Tony then snapped out of his daze, a smile playing on his lips as he joked with the person in front of him. With Riley's help, he freed the Iron Man suit from its supports and began to move.

"Haha, unfortunately, neither heaven nor hell has a place for a genius inventor like you for the time being. So, you'll have to continue suffering in this world, which seems so out of place compared to your extraordinary wisdom."

Riley laughed along with Tony's attempt to find humor in his situation, responding with a straight face.

After Riley adjusted the Iron Man suit's detailed parameters according to Tony's personal feelings...

Riley then reopened the dimensional barrier and, before leading a bewildered Ethan through it and leaving, continued speaking to Tony.

"I'll take the doctor away and make sure he's safe... As for you, my little inventor. I think, given your personality, you'd rather stay here, finish the work you couldn't complete, and eventually get out on your own, right? So, see you in a while~"

"A little inventor? You...?!"

Upon hearing Riley's address to him, Tony, who had always acted carefree, visibly paused for a moment.

Before Tony could say anything, Riley, who had already steered the situation back on track, took Ethan into the dimensional barrier and disappeared without a trace.

So much so that when they looked at the workshop before them, now completely empty as the dimensional barrier disappeared.

Although Tony was filled with questions at that moment.

But with his clever mind, a bold conjecture quickly emerged.

"Looks like I owe someone another favor..."

As Tony muttered to himself, a meaningful smile crept across his face beneath the mask.

Soon, the number of footsteps coming from outside the workshop continued to increase.

Composing himself and gradually revealing his killing intent, Tony began to control his Iron Man suit, taking heavy steps as he charged out of the cave.

Then, from the moment Tony personally smashed a terrorist's head to pieces like a watermelon...

The superhero named Iron Man was officially born!

After that, Tony Stark, clad in his Iron Man suit, not only single-handedly destroyed the entire terrorist organization, but also used the large amount of weaponry stored by the terrorists to create a massive explosion, completely destroying the various dangerous weapons collected by the terrorists from Stark Industries.

Tony himself, just a second before the explosion, used the flamethrower as a power source to propel his Iron Man suit into the sky.

Then, because the hastily assembled Iron Man suit lacked the ability to fly at high speeds for extended periods, and because it was somewhat affected by the impact of the explosion during takeoff, it was also affected by the explosion.

As a result, Tony had only been flying for a short time when his Iron Man suit broke down under the strain, and he plummeted straight to the ground with a terrified scream.

It was at this moment that an extremely bizarre scene unfolded...

The hastily constructed Mark 1, whose quality was clearly inferior to the subsequent improved and upgraded suits, was able to absorb the vast majority of Tony's kinetic energy before completely disintegrating. This ensured that after the crash, Tony not only avoided severe damage but also retained his ability to move freely and continue traversing the desert!

And the same crisis of falling from a great height after losing power...

In contrast, the war machine, which was handed over to the US government for official "upgrades," still managed to put Rhodes, the wearer, into a deep coma and leave him with paralysis of his lower body, even though its overall structure remained largely intact, it did not disintegrate in the air, and it did not suffer serious damage after crashing.

Even more outrageous is that during the time War Machine was falling, it was only affected by gravity and was in free fall, yet Falcon and Iron Man, who were flying towards War Machine with their own propulsion, were unable to come to its rescue in time!

This was enough to make Riley, who had seemingly left but had actually been secretly observing, raise an eyebrow and marvel inwardly as he filmed this historic moment.

Marvel Science Fiction is truly amazing...

Of course, after confirming that Tony was only frightened and was otherwise unharmed.

Riley also made a call to General Ross, hoping to use his connections to contact Rhodes, who had not given up and was still searching for Tony's whereabouts.

He also sent Tony's location coordinates to Rhodey, instructing him to come and pick Tony up by helicopter. This action demonstrated that Rhodey had never abandoned Tony during his kidnapping.

This was enough to make the proud Tony, though he didn't say anything, silently remember this kindness in the depths of his heart.

Then, in the near future, to repay this favor, Tony pretended to be drunk and unable to fight back, allowing Rhodes to "steal" an Iron Man suit.

So that, under the military's arrangement of upgrades and modifications, this opportunity would give birth to a superhero who looks similar to Iron Man but has a completely different style of action, and who would be the first superhero in the modern world to obey the government.

War machine.
