Chapter 236 Orphans always have a connection with each other
"shame!"
Back in the studio, Tony was alone and furious.
This is the debut battle of Iron Man's suit, but it ends up so embarrassing.
What made Tony feel even more embarrassed was that this defeat had nothing to do with the performance of the suit, it was entirely his fault as the operator.
"Anger doesn't solve anything, sir."
Jarvis consoled him, "You should think carefully about how to resolve the battle scheduled in a month."
At the end of the battle with Steve, they finally made an appointment for the next battle.
The time is up to Tony, and it will be next month.
"No need to worry about that." Tony shook his head. "Isn't it just about improving combat skills? A week is enough."
He has been a genius since he was young, and he can easily master technology, business, and even the social world.
Just a simple combat skill, Tony is confident that he can make a qualitative leap if he spends some time learning it.
"I still suggest that you focus more on improving your armor."
Jarvis said, "Just add a little auxiliary combat function and you can easily win."
"do not talk."
Tony shook his head. He had had enough of Jarvis' beatings.
"I know what to do. Believe me, I have come this far and defeated countless opponents."
How can a mere Steve Rogers, a relic of the last century and the tears of the times, still be so powerful in the 21st century?
Tony will defeat Steve head-on, the man that his father Howard is obsessed with.
Then, at that moment, he would take off his helmet and, in the glory of victory, reveal his true identity.
……
Inside .
Coulson hurried into Director Fury's office.
He was holding a document in his hand, obviously having something important to report. However, when he saw Fury, he found that there was an indelible sadness on the director's face.
"What happened, Chief?"
Coulson decided to put his own affairs aside and take care of the director first.
"Nothing."
Fury shook his head and put the magic book in his hand into the drawer. He had no intention of telling Coulson the truth.
It's not a big deal.
It's just that he recently gained a deeper understanding of the Harry Potter story.
It turns out that the magic book can not only show words, but also pictures.
Moreover, these scenes were thoughtfully edited into the form of a movie, so Fury would not feel bored.
The reason why Fury looked a little sad just now was because he just saw Snape's death again.
Snape's undercover identity made Fury, who was an agent, empathize with him.
So when we see his death, we can't help but feel a little sad.
"Let's get down to business."
Fury looked up at Coulson, "What happened?"
"Obadiah confessed."
Coulson said, "He confessed everything, including his conspiracy against Tony Stark and the origin of the Iron Man armor."
"So fast? It's been less than twelve hours, right?"
Fury rubbed his brow with two fingers, "I thought he could at least last two or three days."
"He doesn't have to insist on anything."
Coulson flipped through the documents in his hand. "Obadiah is very cooperative and is willing to serve as a tainted witness to expose the inside story of Stark Group."
"What's the inside story?"
"Tony Stark is endangering American public safety."
Coulson said, "He created the Iron Man armor, which has extremely strong mass destructive power, but he is unwilling to make it public, let alone turn it over to the state."
"It's amazing that Obadiah could think of this angle."
Fury took the information from Coulson and looked through it himself.
In fact, it was at this moment that he realized that the other person wearing the armor last night was actually Tony Stark himself.
But Fury was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that it was as it should be.
"It seems that Obadiah was able to work with Howard from scratch to build an arms empire. He really has some skills."
After Fury finished reading the information, he threw it on the table.
"With this confession, he really can't die."
Those big shots will definitely have a keen interest in the Iron Man suit. If Tony is unwilling to hand it over, Obadiah can become the key to bringing down Stark.
"Is that all there is?"
Fury asked, "Didn't you say before that Stark was doing some secret ritual? How's the investigation going?"
"Nothing unusual was found." Coulson shook his head. "Now it seems that Stark simply wanted to seek some spiritual comfort after being kidnapped."
Fury thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There is a great terror between life and death, so it is not difficult to understand why he has become a little superstitious, but I always feel that it is not that simple. You continue to investigate, and I will wait for your follow-up news."
"Ok."
After saying that, Coulson left the office.
Fury continued to pick up the report and read it with interest.
During the interrogation, Obadiah did cooperate actively, but he had no talent in scientific research. He only knew how powerful the steel mecha was, but he did not master the real manufacturing method.
The so-called Iron Monger was just a modification of Mark I.
And it was blown up by Stark.
But from another perspective, Obadiah is indeed an excellent businessman with amazing salesmanship.
In just a few words, the power of the Iron Man suit is vividly described.
Even Fury felt moved when he saw it, let alone those old men on Capitol Hill?
"I don't know how Stark plans to deal with this kind of pressure."
Fury took out his secret notebook, turned to the "Avengers" page, wrote Tony's name, and then put a question mark.
"Let's observe for a while longer." He said softly.
……
In the following period of time, while Tony continued to improve his suit, he also began to devote his energy to improving his combat skills.
He hired the best coaches, formed a professional team, and then -
Signed up for UFC.
UFC, the full name of Ultimate Fighting Championship, is a completely undiscriminatory fighting competition.
Anyone is allowed to participate, any method of attack is allowed, and both sides are locked in the octagonal cage and try every means to defeat their opponent.
When Tony actually showed up at the game, people all over America thought he must have gone crazy because of the kidnapping experience.
Otherwise people couldn't understand why a rich young man who lived a life of luxury would torture himself like this.
Whenever Tony was in the TV broadcast, he was getting beaten.
Regardless of whether Tony has improved his fighting skills, at least the audience had fun watching this show during this period.
It is a popular sight everywhere to see rich people getting beaten up.
When Katum and Bruce saw Tony again, they saw a man covered in bruises.
"In fact, there was an element of performance in it, and I didn't show my true ability."
Tony was sitting in a wheelchair explaining to the two owls, and he was as stubborn as ever.
On the screen next to Tony, a replay of the most recent match was playing. In the octagonal cage, Tony was kicked in the face by his opponent, and he fell straight to the ground.
It looked scary as hell.
"I knew how to dodge that kick," Tony continued, "I just didn't react in time."
"Do you have any special hobbies?"
Bruce asked, "You like being beaten? Then just tell me, I can introduce you to some heavyweights."
"How can it be!"
Tony shook his head. "I can now last more than 20 seconds on the stage. This is a big improvement. I have a lot of practical experience now."
Combined with the blood-edge battle suit, his strength has already increased by leaps and bounds.
Defeating Steve is definitely a piece of cake.
Bruce could understand Tony's desire to achieve quick results, but pushing the intensity to the highest level right from the start wouldn't actually be that effective.
On the contrary, it will backfire.
But when he was about to persuade him, Katum interrupted at the right time.
"Don't try to persuade him. He grew up in success and has his own pride, just like you. You can't persuade him to change his mind."
It was obvious that Tony wanted to use his own strength and wisdom to pin Steve to the ground.
But Katum had to admit that this kind of special training actually had no effect.
"Steve is also from the Owl School."
Bruce told Tony that this was the purpose of their visit to Tony this time.
"He sank into the glacier and was rescued by us. He was blessed by magic and is much more powerful than you think."
"I probably guessed it."
Tony said, "I saw the owl pattern on his shield and guessed that he must be connected with you, so I wanted to say thank you."
"Why?" Bruce asked.
Tony smiled: "Isn't this obvious? Steve is my father's friend. If you rescue him, the old man will be very happy to see him."
Although when his father was alive, there were only contradictions and conflicts between Tony and Howard, and they never understood each other.
But after Howard died, as time passed, the original conflicts gradually faded, leaving only Tony's last obsession to prove himself.
Prove that he is better than his father.
And now, Tony had just experienced Obadiah's betrayal, and his emotions were softer than usual. When he talked about his father, he didn't think of those confrontational memories.
"In fact, I pretty much grew up hearing stories about Captain America."
Tony said, "Every time our family gets together, the old man will talk about how brave he was in World War II and how he and Captain America destroyed Hydra together."
Then he thought about it and added another sentence.
"Oh, and Ms. Paige. It was the three of them who destroyed Hydra together. I was also sorry to hear that Ms. Paige passed away recently."
Of course, Peggy's experience of rejuvenation is top secret and SHIELD will never announce it to the public.
So the explanation given for Peggy's disappearance was that she had died.
The funeral was held quickly and an empty coffin was buried in the cemetery. On the surface, everything was over.
But there's no reason for Bruce to hide anything for SHIELD.
"Peggy is not dead."
Bruce said, "Steve used magic to make her young again, and now these two guys should be living a sweet life together."
"Return to youth?!"
When Tony heard this word, he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
Is Steve already capable of this kind of thing?
Then what is the difference between him and God.
Tony's confidence in winning the fight suddenly became slim.
"How did he do it?" Tony asked. "I mean, how did he master such advanced magic so quickly?"
"This magic is not profound."
Bruce shook his head, and then he looked up at the sky with an extremely pious expression and said, "And the reason why he suddenly became so powerful is because he chose to serve the Owl God."
"Owl God?"
Tony frowned, "Can humans believe this?"
"Of course I can believe it!"
After finishing all the previous preparations, Bruce finally got to the point.
"Faith in the Owl God can create miracles you never imagined."
Bruce said, "Gaining strength, rejuvenation, resurrection, all are possible..."
"and many more!"
Tony suddenly interrupted Bruce's next words. All the pores on his body were dilated, he was breathing heavily, and his expression was shocked to the point of being scary.
"What did you say?"
"Believe in the Owl God..."
"Next sentence!"
"Gain strength, rejuvenate, return to life..."
"Yes! That's it!"
Tony was like a drowning man who had grabbed a life-saving straw. He no longer cared about the injuries and pain in his body and rushed in front of Bruce almost in an instant.
"Can it really be brought back to life?"
“It’s possible, but the conditions are very strict.”
Bruce knew what Tony was thinking, orphans can always communicate with each other.
"At least the body must be well preserved, otherwise the person who is resurrected will not be the one you remember."
Bruce wasn't lying about this.
Even if the Dionysus factor is used to revive the bones, the flesh cannot be rebuilt.
Stark's parents have been dead for so long, and if they are resurrected now, they can only exist like Slytherin.
Unless he could find Hufflepuff's cup.
"This……"
Tony's newly ignited hope was immediately extinguished.
He was in despair and muttered to himself, "That's right, there must be limitations to achieving this kind of thing..."
That miserable look was like another version of himself to Bruce.
Bruce also had this unrealistic hope at the beginning.
"Cuckoo."
At this time, Katum suddenly said something, and Bruce was very surprised when he heard it.
Katum is actually willing to do this?
He did not hide it and translated it to Stark.
"Looking at you like this, the person you wish for will probably not be resurrected."
Bruce thought for a moment and continued, "Although they cannot return to the human world, we can take you to see them in the form of souls."
"really?!"
This time, Tony got excited again.
At this moment, he was truly in awe of magic. Every time he felt like he was at the end of his rope, magic would always give him unexpected hope and surprises.
"What should I do?" Tony asked hesitantly, "Kill myself first, go to heaven, and then resurrect you?"
