After taking off, Ivan Vanko used the computer system on the Whiplash armor to begin controlling the thirty-two Iron Soldiers inside the Hammer Industries pavilion.
Immediately, the Iron Soldiers started to move. Some flew out of the pavilion towards the Stark Industries pavilion, while others exited and began attacking pedestrians and buildings.
Ordinary people were completely powerless against the Iron Soldiers. Even the most elite military forces wouldn't stand a chance unless they were in tanks. Let alone the military, unarmed civilians were even more defenseless.
For a moment, casualties were severe among the spectators at the Stark Industries Expo.
Crash!
Upon hearing the chaos outside, Tony, remembering Wu Chen's warning, immediately began suiting up in his Iron Man armor.
However, before he could finish, several massive figures smashed through the glass ceiling of the pavilion and landed on the stage, surrounding Tony, who was still in the process of donning his armor.
"Uh, hello? Who might you be?" Tony, sensing danger, tried to buy some time.
As expected, the Iron Soldiers, about to attack, paused their movements. One of them spoke with Ivan Vanko's voice, "Tony, you may not know me, but your father knew mine."
Having done so much, yet remaining unknown, was unacceptable to Ivan Vanko. Even if conversing with Tony might result in this wave failing to kill him, Ivan was prepared to accept that. Because he never intended for the Iron Soldiers to kill Tony. He wanted to send Tony to meet God himself!
"Unfortunately, there's no friendship between them, only betrayal!"
"Your father, that despicable man, stole the invention he and my father created together and took everything from my father!"
"Cough~ Perhaps there's some misunderstanding here?" Tony, having reconciled with his own father, couldn't stand by as someone insulted him. But he couldn't confront them immediately now, as his Iron Man armor wasn't fully equipped.
"Misunderstanding?" Under Ivan Vanko's control, the Iron Soldier shook its head. "Doesn't matter. It's not important."
"What's important is, remember the name Ivan Vanko!"
"Because tonight, I will destroy everything you have! Let you feel my pain!"
Whirr~
Before Ivan Vanko could finish speaking, Tony raised his hand and fired a particle beam, piercing through the talking robot and leaving it lying on the ground.
"Oh, it's a pity. Your plot won't succeed."
Then, Tony closed the faceplate of his Iron Man armor and instantly fired several particle beams, knocking down all the Iron Soldiers on stage.
After all, inferior products were still inferior products. The Iron Soldiers Ivan Vanko had obtained by directly modifying Hammer Industries' imitations were nothing more than a group invincible to ordinary people but useless against Iron Man.
The last Iron Soldier to fall to the ground emitted Ivan Vanko's voice once again, "Tony, dying from palladium poisoning is very painful, so I plan to help you die a little earlier."
"I'll be there soon!"
Tony sensed the danger and immediately called Pepper Potts and the others to leave while he flew out of the pavilion.
Understanding that he was the target, Tony naturally wouldn't stay with other innocent people and put them in danger.
Meanwhile, Wu Chen also began to act.
When the Iron Soldiers exited the pavilion, he immediately entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, turning into a golden light and flowing among the crowd.
While saving innocent people, he also used Rasengan to destroy the Iron Soldiers.
The Iron Soldiers modified by Ivan Vanko were not only useless against Iron Man but also against Wu Chen.
Mere steel was no match for the explosive power of Rasengan.
With just this move, Wu Chen could easily deal with one Iron Soldier.
Coupled with Wu Chen's mastery of Space Ninjutsu, followed by the convenience of Space Ninjutsu, Wu Chen defeated all the other Iron Soldiers before Tony left the pavilion and gathered their remains together.
"Wow! A golden flash!"
The saved individuals cheered for their lives, and soon everyone joined in the cheering.
Feeling the sincere gratitude from the crowd, Wu Chen couldn't help but feel delighted.
No wonder so many people were willing to become celebrities, superheroes, and the like. It turns out, having others cheer for oneself felt so wonderful!
At that moment, a streak of fire streaked across the sky. Wu Chen looked up and saw Tony flying outwards.
Closely following was a black armor, its speed not slow, closely chasing after Tony.
After some thought, Wu Chen bid farewell to the cheering crowd and followed suit.
Using Body Flicker Technique, he quickly approached the two armors flying and chasing each other. The speed was equally fast.
Thus, the three figures arrived outside the expo, within a deserted natural park.
Then, under Wu Chen's watchful gaze, Iron Man was beaten up.
Unaware of the capabilities of the Whiplash armor, Tony was defenseless, directly struck by the electrified whips, unable to fight back.
Even though Tony had upgraded his power source, the situation didn't change much.
