Chapter 122: This Matter Is Over

The Stark Industrial Robot rampage incident has finally come to an end, but the consequences of this incident are not so easy to resolve.

Even though not many ordinary people were killed or injured in this incident, there are still politicians in Congress who use this incident as a means of attacking Tony.

After all, these politicians have always been coveting the iron armor and micro-arc reactors made by Tony, and this incident just caught Tony's sore spot.

"Hypocritical Tony Stark."

"Warmongers have never stopped."

"Behind new energy, there are still weapons of war."

"With robots everywhere, what exactly does Tony Stark want to do?"

Under the secret instructions of politicians, the news media has been promoting Tony's hypocrisy, bellicosity and danger on the Internet and in real life.

But just when the politicians were planning to further threaten Tony and ask him to hand over the Ark reactor technology in his hands and the control of the remaining armor robots in the world, Tony took the initiative and publicized a public list.

The public list marked the locations of Stark Industries arsenals around the world and the number of remaining armored robots in the arsenals.

Stark Industries solemnly announced that it would completely shut down Stark Industries arsenals around the world on Wednesday next week, and send the armored robots in these arsenals to incinerators for incineration. It also welcomed the media of various countries to supervise and guide Stark Industries' actions.

This desperate move made the politicians in Congress feel distressed. They did not expect Tony Stark to be so decisive and burn so many robots.

For the people who were killed and injured by the armored robots in this incident, Stark Industries not only paid the highest amount of money compensation, but also bought a hospital to treat the injured people for free.

It can only be said that thanks to Tony having such a capable assistant like Pepper, he was able to handle these tedious chores in an orderly manner, and also freed him from the intrigues of congressional politicians and those old guys on the board of directors.

"You are really an irresponsible guy."

Su Heng looked at Tony who was sitting in the guest area showing off Pepper to everyone, and complained with some disgust.

"Don't you feel guilty for leaving all these things to Pepper alone?"

"That's right!" Gwen, who was standing next to Su Heng, nodded indignantly.

"You little guys won't understand." Tony shrugged and said lightly: "This is the tacit understanding between Pepper and me for so many years. I am responsible for causing trouble, and she is responsible for helping me deal with the follow-up."

"Tsk." Su Heng and Gwen looked at Tony's shameless appearance and couldn't help but curl their lips.

"So where's the dessert?" Tony tapped the table gently and asked Su Heng, "With so many of us here, you can't just give each of us a cup of hot milk, right?"

"It should be almost ready." Su Heng turned his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and said to Gwen, "Gwen, let's go and bring out the dessert."

"Okay, manager." Gwen followed Su Heng and walked into the bakery together.

At this time, in the guest area, except for Captain Rogers, Wanda, and Pietro, all the people who played a crucial role in this incident were sitting in the guest area.

Ms. Peggy Carter was overworked during this period after taking over as the acting director of SHIELD, and finally fell on the bed. Captain Rogers was worried about Ms. Carter's physical condition, so he accompanied Ms. Carter in the SHIELD accompanying ward.

As for Wanda and Pietro, the siblings were because of Tony.

Although Wanda and Pietro had already understood from their conversation with Ms. Carter and Captain Rogers on the night they were detained and returned to SHIELD that the culprit who killed their parents in the war was not Tony, but the warmongerers who used Stark Industrial weapons.

But even so, the long-term hatred for Tony still prevented the siblings from looking directly at Tony, so they returned to SHIELD with Captain Rogers.

"Harry." In the guest area, Peter looked at Tony, Dr. Banner, Thor, Professor Connors, and Dr. Otto in the guest area, swallowed his saliva nervously, and whispered to Harry: "I don't think we should come."

After all, among the people present, except Gwen, Su Heng, Peter, Harry, and Thor's uncle who called himself the Asgardian Thor, the others were all leading figures in various academic circles.

Except for Professor Connors who worked at Osborn Industries, Peter never dreamed that he would see these big figures in person.

"Don't worry, Peter." Harry licked his lips nervously, but he looked a little more relaxed than Peter: "After all, we have helped, otherwise the store manager would not have asked us to come to this party."

"Relax, little guys, don't be nervous." Tony noticed Peter and Harry whispering, and said to them with his chin in his hand: "This is just a communication party between comrades, don't pay too much attention to our identities."

"Okay, Mr. Stark." Harry nodded to Tony.

"I still don't quite believe that your hammer is as mysterious as you say."

Just as Tony was calming down Peter and Harry, Professor Connors and others were already having a heated discussion about Thor's hammer.

"What do you mean, only those who are recognized by the hammer can lift it?" Professor Connors shook his head: "I prefer that this is just a more advanced technology than the Earth."

"Or, it's an anti-theft measure." Dr. Otto said half-jokingly: "An anti-theft measure similar to fingerprint authentication."

"I don't really understand the science you're talking about." Thor took the hammer out from behind and put it on the table: "But I know the most common method used by you Earthlings - seeing is believing."

"Since you have doubts, why not try to use the so-called science you say to see if you can lift my hammer."

"It feels a bit interesting." Tony listened to the argument of several people and came over from behind them: "Add me to try."

Peter and Harry also looked over with curiosity at the same time.

After all, they were idle anyway, so they all gathered in front of the table with the hammer.

"Let me try first." Professor Connors put his hand on the hammer handle, weighed it lightly, and then gradually increased his strength.

After Professor Connors found that there was really no way to lift the hammer, he shook his head at everyone.

"Huh?" Tony looked at Professor Connors in confusion: "If I remember correctly, Connors, don't you have a potion that can turn into a lizard man? Why don't you try it?"

"That?" Professor Connors touched the lizard gene serum in his arms and shook his head at Tony, who looked puzzled: "Although I have improved the lizard gene serum, it is still in the experimental stage. It is inevitable that there will be some unknown side effects. It is not appropriate to use it for fun."

"Is that so?" Tony nodded in understanding.

"Let me try." Dr. Otto took out a backpack from under the chair he was sitting on. After opening the backpack, four smaller mechanical tentacles were revealed.

"It's just right to test the ability of the portable mechanical tentacles."

Dr. Otto took out the four portable mechanical tentacles from his backpack. Unlike the previous thick mechanical tentacles, these four portable mechanical tentacles do not need to be connected to Dr. Otto's nerve center, but can be directly carried on Dr. Otto's back like a shoulder strap.

Dr. Otto pressed the button on the shoulder strap to start the four portable mechanical tentacles.

After the four mechanical tentacles started, they grabbed the hammer handle under Dr. Otto's control.

Squeak--

The four mechanical tentacles made a manic sound, and the mechanical connection was tightly stretched together, as if it would break at the next moment.

"Forget it." The mechanical tentacles relaxed, and Dr. Otto put down the shoulder straps connected to the mechanical tentacles.

"Can we try it?" Harry and Peter walked to the side of the crowd and asked Thor.

"Of course." Thor smiled at Harry and Peter and made a gesture of invitation to them.

Dr. Otto put the mechanical tentacles into his backpack and looked at Peter and Harry who were eager to try.

Harry first tentatively grabbed the handle of the hammer, and when he found that he couldn't lift it normally, Harry and Peter nodded.

Bang!

Peter's arm became stronger with the help of venom.

Flames erupted from Harry's body, and Harry in the form of a skeleton also appeared in front of everyone at this moment.

"Wow!" It was the first time Tony saw Harry and Peter transform into this form, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Harry and Peter grabbed the handle of the hammer again and began to exert their whole bodies.

"Drink!" In the low shouts of the two, the fire of revenge in Harry became more and more surging, and Peter's arm covered with venom became more and more sturdy.

"No, no." The voice of venom sounded in Peter's mind.

"This thing is even more evil than me. It can't be pulled out at all."

On the side, the flame on Harry's body began to become a little weak.

"Peter." Harry shook his head at Peter and loosened his hand from the hammer handle.

The venom slowly faded from Peter's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Just when Peter's hand loosened the hammer handle, Su Heng's voice sounded behind everyone.

Everyone turned their heads and looked over. Su Heng's head was sticking out of the food outlet of the bakery.

"Come and help carry the dessert." Su Heng put the dessert out of the food outlet.

"Then let's go help Peter." Harry said to Peter.

"Hmm? Okay." Peter looked at the hammer in his hand with some surprise.

For some reason, when the venom faded from his hand, Peter actually felt that he could lift the hammer.

But how could this be possible.

Peter tentatively lifted the hammer up again, and the hammer still did not move.

"Am I really thinking too much?"

Peter decisively let go of his hand and went to the food outlet with Harry.

But no one noticed that the moment Peter let go, the hammer trembled slightly.

"Then it's my turn next." Tony watched Harry and Peter leave, stretched out the armored mechanical arm that he had put on at some point, and grabbed the hammer handle.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, now only you and Dr. Banner haven't tried it."

Thor laughed and said, as if he already knew the predetermined result.

...

When Su Heng appeared in the guest area with the three little guys holding a tray, Tony was unwilling to drive the thruster on the mechanical arm.

"Give up, Tony, I told you, you can't lift Mjolnir." Thor laughed at Tony.

"What a familiar scene." Gwen looked at the scene in front of her, and she felt like she was dreaming of the New Mexico Hammer Pulling Competition.

"Forget it, forget it, this thing must have some kind of certification function set up, and no one except you can pull it up." Tony said to Thor with a gloomy face.

"That's not necessarily true." Thor said complacently, "I've said it before, if you want to lift the hammer, you must be able to get the hammer's approval."

"You can't lift it, which means you don't have the qualifications."

"Oh, is that so?" Su Heng put the dessert on the tray on the table with a smile.

"Ahem, of course there are accidents." Thor looked at Su Heng's expression, and suddenly remembered that Su Heng really had something in his hand that he could lift with brute force without Mjolnir's approval.

Thor also recalled the rainy night in New Mexico when the pink and harmless little girl lifted the hammer.

"Little girl, do you want to try?" Tony didn't notice the unnatural look on Thor's face, and waved to Gwen.

"Forget it." Gwen shrank her head and said a little embarrassedly, "I tried it when I was in New Mexico, and I couldn't pull it out."

"Tsk, is that so?" Tony looked at Su Heng and Dr. Banner and asked them.

"What about you?"

"Forget it." Dr. Banner shook his head, a trace of bitterness on his face: "If I don't transform, I will only have the strength of an ordinary person. If I transform... you probably don't want to see Hulk here, right?"

"That's true." Tony nodded, turned to look at Su Heng, and suddenly remembered something.

"Su Heng, don't I remember you have a pink and tender little guy in your hand?"

"!" Thor's heart tightened, and he looked at Su Heng with a bitter smile.

"Well..." Su Heng glanced at Thor and shook his head at Tony: "It's unnecessary. She tried it in New Mexico before."

"Even that little girl can't pull it up?" Tony misunderstood, shook his head with some disappointment, and muttered:

"So it must be the problem with the hammer. Otherwise, how could there be no one who can pull it up among so many of us..."
