Meanwhile. →Stark is in his villa in Malibu.

Tony is still in his underground laboratory. Pepper will handle the things outside, so he doesn't need to make trouble.

It's not that Pepper didn't ask him to help... but... this guy is really making trouble. Pepper certainly knows that Tony is doing it on purpose. He is a genius and a versatile person, and he knows how to run a company. It's just that when he has something more interesting, the company will be put on the back burner.

What he is most interested in now is the Iron Monger in front of him, or more precisely, the several injuries on the Iron Monger's body. Looking at the perspective view of Iron Monger projected by Jarvis on the virtual light screen, he murmured: "Each time, the cuts were made at the exposed joint parts of Iron Monger, or some control lines were cut off. These attacks were very targeted and basically destroyed Iron Monger's mobility."

Jarvis: "Yes, sir. Comparing the video taken at the time, it can be confirmed that Batman has a considerable understanding of the structure of Iron Monger."

Tony's scalp was a little numb: "When did this guy see Mark I? Did he hack into my security system to monitor me? Jarvis!"

"The system has no signs of being hacked. Maybe Batman got the Mark I design through other channels, such as Mr. Obaday." Jarvis reminded.

"Obaday..." Tony's face immediately became complicated. He only trusted three people in his life, Obaday, Pepper and Happy, and perhaps Kai. For him, trust is an extremely rare and scarce resource, but among these few people, there is still a person who betrayed him.

He once regarded Obaday as his mentor and relative, but Obaday wanted his life.

Soon, Tony drove away this little emotion.

Speaking of Obaday, he remembered something. He told Jarvis: "Jarvis, make a new security plan for the villa."

After hesitating, he continued: "All the security personnel of the villa go home for vacation and wait for investigation."

He couldn't trust these security now. A few nights ago, Obaday almost killed him, but the security guards didn't find any abnormalities at all. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have really died. This made Tony realize his own fragility. After all, if he was classified according to normal people, he was also a disabled person. Without wearing iron armor, he was too fragile. So, he now attaches great importance to security.

It seems that even those who did not find any problems after a comprehensive investigation must be retrained.

Thinking of this, he didn't continue. This matter also takes time. It's better to continue studying Batman now. He is really curious about Batman's true identity. In fact, he has always been very curious, and he has a bad habit. Once he is curious about something, he will want to find out everything. It's a bit like obsessive-compulsive disorder. →

"Haven't you found any clues about Batman yet?"

"Sorry, sir. I still have no clues about Batman. But I have analyzed his armor."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Tony thinks this should be a clue. As long as he finds out the technology on Batman's armor, he may be able to find out the truth by following the clues.

"After analyzing the Batman battle video, I found at least five very cutting-edge technologies, including electromagnetic acoustic oscillation, magnetic suspension, laser cutting, high-efficiency energy-absorbing alloys, and polymer memory fabrics."

"Well, that's a good idea. What about the energy?"

"I'm sorry, sir, that suit has an anti-scanning coating, so I can't do a deep scan. But I guess it won't be long before his energy source is replaced by the Ark Reactor."

"Of course, my work is the most perfect!"

"Indeed, if it's purely technical, you are better, sir. After all, judging from the movements of the Batsuit at the time, his suit should use force feedback suits, and you win just for this reason."

"Bingo! I've always been the winner."

"But judging from the results, Batman's combat power is stronger. I feel that this is due to the difference between individuals." Jarvis said very honestly.

"You mean, he is better than me."

"Yes, sir. There is no doubt about this. After all, you haven't undergone special combat training."

Jarvis almost said directly that Tony is a rookie.

Obviously, Tony's uncontrollable competitive spirit was hurt by his smart butler's complaints.

"Contact Happy for me! I need the best fighter in the world to train me tomorrow!"

"Excuse me, your current physical condition is not suitable for this kind of high-intensity training."

"What do you mean?" Tony was immediately angry when his butler complained about his poor physical condition.

"I just scanned your physical condition and found something very bad. You have palladium poisoning."

"What?!!" Tony was scared: "Why didn't you tell me earlier about such an important thing?"

"I only found out during the last scan of your body. After all, there are two pounds of palladium in your chest, which greatly affects my scan. So I can only find it when enough palladium accumulates in your body." Jarvis said that he would not take the blame.

Tony's first reaction was to remove the thing from his chest, but he immediately thought that if he removed the thing, he would probably die faster than palladium poisoning. →

"In fact, the current symptoms are not serious. If you stop using the armor, you will have a lot of time to solve this problem. If you continue to use the Mark armor with a large load, the intense energy demand will rapidly increase the consumption of the palladium core, thereby aggravating the accumulation of toxins, leading to insufficient body metabolism, and thus showing symptoms of poisoning, and finally endangering life."

This means that if the palladium Ark reactor is used to maintain life, the toxins produced will not cause physical harm to Tony, let alone endanger his life. In addition, Tony has discovered that chlorophyll can alleviate the effects of toxins to a certain extent, creating a balance between metabolism and toxin accumulation. As long as Tony does not use the Mark armor, this balance will always exist and will not be broken, and Tony will naturally be safe.

"Do you mean for me to abandon my identity as Iron Man?"

"I'm just giving advice."

"Impossible!"

A not-so-good experience made Tony experience life and death, but it also gave Tony the opportunity to be reborn, from a "playboy" to a superhero with a sense of social responsibility, and also made a "profit-seeking" arms dealer become a guardian of world peace. In addition to the transformation of Tony's own level of consciousness, all of this is the stage provided by the Mark Armor for Tony.

When wearing the Mark Armor, Tony is the "Iron Man" that everyone is paying attention to, and when taking off the armor, Tony is just an ordinary person. However, when a person realizes a higher level of belief, it is actually difficult to give up, even if he sacrifices everything for it. After seeing the vastness of the sea, how can he be willing to live at the bottom of the well? Therefore, after Tony became Iron Man, whether from a personal or responsibility perspective, he would not choose to take off the armor and become an ordinary person who does nothing and has no beliefs again. This is his belief and his enlightenment.

"Then, I suggest that you start looking for new elements to replace palladium."

Tony touched his stubble and snapped his fingers: "Let's do it!"

"Of course, I have another suggestion, sir."

"Say it!" Tony is always so confident in himself, and he never doubts that he can't solve this problem.

"Have surgery to remove the shrapnel from your chest." Jarvis gave the most reliable advice. After all, as long as this is done, there is no need to put the Ark reactor into the body. Naturally, there will be less poisoning. After all, external energy death is safe and feasible, and that's what Iron Monger did.

In fact, there is another way, but Jarvis didn't mention it, and Tony didn't think about it. That is Dr. Ethan's solution - using batteries. Of course, this is just a nickname, and other power sources are also fine. Anyway, it's enough to absorb the shrapnel. And there is no doubt that batteries can't support Tony's use of the Mark armor at all. There is almost no difference in the actual effect between the two. Even ordinary batteries can't provide Tony with emergency protection. After all, the palladium element Ark reactor can still provide Tony with the opportunity to use the Mark armor in times of crisis.

More importantly, this is too low-class, and Tony would rather die of poisoning.

"Surgery..."

To be honest, Tony has considered this option. After all, he is not a special hobbyist who likes to put some strange things in his body. He doesn't even plan to put earrings, let alone the shrapnel so close to his heart.

Unfortunately, there are very few doctors in the world who can remove those shrapnel safely. To be precise, there is only one.

No, it should be half.

Why half.

"Well, what's that name, Steve Strange. How is he?"

"He should be called Stephen Strange." Jarvis reminded.

"Oh, really." Tony was not embarrassed at all because he remembered someone else's name wrong. "How is he doing recently."

Speaking of which, I don't know whether Tony is unlucky or Stephen Strange is unlucky. Just when Tony returned to the United States and was about to make an appointment with this top surgeon, this guy had a car accident...

Stephen Strange, the most famous surgeon at New York General Hospital, has outstanding skills and is in his prime. With his superb medical skills, he is praised by the outside world as God's gift to the surgical world. He is the doctor most likely to complete Tony's chest surgery.

"His condition is very bad. The car accident ruined his medical career. His hands, which he relied on for survival, were comminuted fractures. It is very likely that he will never be able to pick up a scalpel again."

"Well, let's bless this unlucky guy." Tony didn't know that the person he gloated over would have a very deep entanglement with him in the future.

"No, sir. This is not good news for you." Jarvis reminded Tony that his bad luck did not benefit Tony at all.

"No, I prefer to solve the problem myself. I don't feel comfortable handing my body to someone I don't know, no matter how famous this person is. I believe in myself more." Tony's pride is sometimes very unreasonable.

…

“So, the most important thing for a person is to see the situation clearly. Look, I didn’t intend to kill you. Why bother?”

Three o'clock in the morning is said to be the time of day when the yin is the heaviest, and wild dogs will start to "blow dog snails". It is also the time when the probability of death in the hospital is highest. A pseudo-scientific explanation is that ghosts belong to the magnetic field. species, they can absorb energy and develop images, and three o'clock in the morning is the time when the energy of the human body is at its weakest, so it is easiest to bump into ghosts... Coincidentally, there are similar sayings abroad. They call three o'clock in the morning the darkest hour. , it is said that Jesus also died at this time.

All in all, this is the worst time of the day.

If someone breaks in here at this time, they will definitely think that they have encountered something dirty at this moment.

Because now this kind of thing has become a hell!

Blood soaked the entire factory, and mutilated bones were scattered everywhere. Among the mutilated corpses, there were still mutilated human heads with expressions of despair and relief.

It's hard to imagine that these two expressions can appear on the same face.

And deep in the factory building, what could be called a humanoid was lying in a pool of blood, and next to him was Hannibal.

That humanoid object is Guzman.

Anyone who sees him now will be shocked by his terrifying vitality.

All his limbs were torn off, his abdomen was opened, half of the internal organs inside had disappeared, and almost four-fifths of his intestines were missing, but his remaining heart and half of his lungs were still beating.

His skull was opened, one eye was removed, his nose was missing, and both of his lips were missing. Only the bare gums are left. In the opened skull, the pink brain even squirmed slightly.

"Tsk, tsk... It's really cruel, you guys. I can't imagine how much of a sensation it would cause if this place was discovered. In the end, I will still have to take the blame. I was wronged, okay?"

No matter what, Kai would not be so perverted and do so many tricks. These are indeed the tricks of the hounds of Tindalos. Because they lost the high-quality food of the cross, they became very temperamental. Kai had promised in advance that he would give them a chance to relax, so he had no intention of stopping them from the beginning.

At that time, the two hounds ran into Guzman's lair happily.

Kate arrived late intentionally, but the scene became uncontrollable.

As a result, Guzman was not honest enough to cooperate with Hannibal's questioning, so Kai handed him over to the hounds.

And then it became like this.

"Kill me...you promised...kill me."

Even though Guzman was like this, he could still speak. I have to say that the hounds were really cruel in their bad intentions.

"Okay. I got what I wanted, and nature granted you a merciful death. After all... I'm not a devil."

Hannibal said and snapped his fingers.

Two hounds rushed forward.

In a look of relief, Guzmán brought about the death he deserved.
