Apollo's golden chariot hovered above the sea of Fire, the Sun God squinting as he watched his Sun Fire engulf the entire street. Within the flames, the mortal woman's figure had long since been consumed.
"Sister…" He leaned down and picked up the unconscious Artemis, the goddess's silver eyelashes trembling in the firelight. Just as he was about to drive the chariot away, hundreds of blue light points suddenly lit up in the sea of Fire.
"Clank—clank—clank" The sound of nano-armor assembling was like raindrops, and the flames were pushed away by the suddenly expanding metal barrier.
Tony's voice came from beneath the nano-barrier: "Seriously, do you Olympus gods have no sense of sportsmanship? Zeus attacked without a word, just striking with lightning, and you're the same?"
Apollo abruptly tightened the reins, and the four flaming warhorses neighed uneasily, stamping the air. He turned to look at the armor, where Tony stood in front of Natasha, his energy shield slowly receding.
"Friday, record this," Tony's armor rose from the burning ruins. "Sun God Apollo, his weakness might be—"
"Tony, have you settled Bruce and Barry?" Natasha tied a tourniquet around her thigh.
Apollo's golden bow was drawn taut again, sunlight condensing into an arrow on the golden bow: "Ant!" "Oh, I left it to Wade," Tony suddenly turned to Natasha. "Now, leave it to me."
Natasha rolled her eyes, and the nano-armor instantly covered her entire body, spewing flames, carrying Natasha slowly into the air.
The next second, the six mechanical wings behind Tony simultaneously moved forward, and six laser beams shot out, colliding with Apollo's arrow.
The blinding light of the explosion between the sunlight arrow and the laser dimmed the entire sea of Fire.
Before the aftermath of the explosion had fully dissipated, the armor on Natasha carried her soaring into the sky, heading towards the safe zone.
Apollo watched Natasha fly away and roared, "Escaping? Don't even think about it!"
He drew his bow and notched an arrow again, and a sunlight arrow shot from the string, heading towards Natasha in the air.
"Boom—!!"
A laser beam shot from the ground, detonating the sunlight arrow in mid-air.
"Hey, handsome, did you forget I'm still here?" Tony's playful voice came from within the firelight. "Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the most handsome god in legends. Hey, do you want to chat with Wade? Your type should be very popular with those rich ladies, I can introduce you to clients."
Tony floated into the air, photon jets erupting from the mechanical wings behind him, the blue-white flames forming a stark contrast with the red flames.
"Your words will cost you, mortal." Apollo no longer looked at Natasha but glared at Tony.
The rage in his eyes was like a blazing Sun, intending to incinerate the glib-tongued tin man before him.
"Heh, many people say that, but I'm still alive and kicking." Tony's expression beneath the faceplate was serious. "Let's have a battle of divine power versus technology!"
"As you wish!" Apollo cracked his whip, and the Sun Chariot flew into the air. The golden bow in his hand transformed into a lyre. "Listen to the music of the gods! This is your dirge!"
The moment the lyre strings vibrated, the entire sky rippled with golden waves. Tony's armor alarm suddenly shrieked, and six floating cannons hastily deployed a defensive matrix.
"High-frequency sound wave attack detected—" Friday's electronic voice was torn to shreds by the divine music.
Apollo's fingertips danced across the strings, each note twisting the trajectory of the floating cannons.
Tony's armor folded back at a near-right angle, and as the laser sword cut through the sound waves, six miniature missiles shot from his shoulder armor.
"Boom!"
A sword of light suddenly pierced through the explosion's firelight. Apollo's chariot rolled through the thick smoke, the blade grazing Tony's faceplate.
Tony leaned back sharply, and the building behind him was split in half by the sword qi, the cut surface melting into crimson magma.
"Is that all you've got?" The Sun God sneered.
Tony suddenly spread his arms, all floating cannons simultaneously overloading: "Let me show you what it means to be—" Blue-white light beams pierced through the sky, but Apollo transformed into flowing fire and dissipated.
Tony's pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly took a lyre strike to the back of his neck.
The dull thud of the lyre hitting the armor was like a death knell. He crashed into the ground plaza like a meteor, shattering the broken fountain.
Golden arrows lit up in the dust, Apollo's golden bow drawn to a full moon: "Die in the Sun Fire! Ant!"
Tony's armor flickered violently in the fountain ruins, the blue glow of his energy shield like a candle in the wind. He rolled sharply to avoid the sunlight arrow, and shattered stones melted into glass rain in the arrow's explosion.
"Friday, how much shield is left?" He gasped, firing a palm cannon, but it was split open in mid-air by Apollo's sword of light.
"17%, repair rate is 42% behind damage value." Amidst the AI's warning, Tony suddenly activated all thrusters on his back, and the armor folded back at an angle defying physics.
Six floating cannons fired simultaneously, weaving a crossfire net in the sky—but the Sun God's chariot avoided them all with a graceful helical maneuver.
"Useless, tin man." Apollo's golden hair fluttered in the heatwave. He held his bow in his left hand and his sword in his right, his chariot's four wheels trailing a trajectory like a fiery meteor.
The moment Tony's laser sword collided with the sword of light, the asphalt road of the entire street suddenly boiled, and molten asphalt gushed like black blood.
A groan of metal fatigue came from the armor's right leg, and Tony gritted his teeth and activated his trump card.
The chest armor suddenly unfolded, and the Eternal Core erupted with a light as bright as a supernova.
"Full salvo!!"
The six mechanical wings behind him suddenly moved forward, and the Eternal Core in his chest spewed an energy beam. Seven beams merged into one, forming an energy beam 20 meters in diameter, which shot towards Apollo.
The missile bays on his back also opened, and dozens of small missiles launched simultaneously.
The Sun God, however, smiled. He released the reins, letting the warhorses dissipate into flowing fire, and spread his arms to receive the impact.
The instant countless attacks were about to strike the divine body, Apollo himself transformed into a miniature Sun, devouring all of Tony's attacks.
"Mortals are, after all, mortals." The god's sigh came from within the light sphere. "However, you performed well, worthy of my praise."
Tony's armor trembled with the hum of energy overload, and the pupils beneath his faceplate reflected the miniature Sun that devoured everything.
Apollo's divine body stretched in the light and flame, every inch of his skin flowing with liquid sunlight.
"Warning: Target energy readings have exceeded the threshold." Friday's mechanical voice continuously echoed in Tony's ear. "Immediate retreat advised."
"No." Tony's expression suddenly relaxed. "It seems I still have to rely on that kid, Chen Tian."
He scoffed, watching Apollo stride towards him in the air.
Tony's expression shifted from relaxed back to serious: "A Sun God still needs to be dealt with by a Sun God, Friday!"
"Sun God Protocol initiated—"
Tony's armor suddenly vibrated violently, and the left chest armor plate unfolded like petals, layer by layer.
A card slot shimmering with ancient runes slowly emerged, and a card glowing with golden light floated up. The patterns on the card writhed like living things, emitting a terrifying divine might.
"Elves sing, the power of Eternity controls all things!"
Tony's voice echoed within the armor, carrying an unprecedented solemnity. His faceplate reflected the flowing golden light on the card, his gaze more serious than ever.
"Its life, its soul, even its bones!"
As the incantation was recited, the entire battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Apollo's miniature Sun abruptly contracted, and the Sun God's face showed a look of uncertainty for the first time.
"When heaven and Earth meet—"
Tony's voice grew louder, and the card erupted with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Washington District with golden radiance.
"Begin the ritual to summon the Sun God!"
Apollo suddenly roared, his sword of light striking Tony with full force. But the blade was blocked by an invisible barrier three meters from Tony, and the sword itself began to melt at a visible rate.
"Descend—"
The space behind Tony tore open. Not a metaphor, but a real, physical tearing. Space was forcibly ripped open by some power beyond comprehension, creating a rift that spanned the sky.
"Winged Dragon of Ra!!!"
In that instant, the entire World seemed to press pause. Then—
"Roar————————!!!!"
An earth-shattering dragon's roar came from the rift, its sound waves shattering all buildings within a ten-mile radius.
Apollo's miniature Sun flickered like a candle in the wind, and the Sun God himself was shaken by the dragon's roar, retreating repeatedly.
Golden flames poured from the rift. This was not mortal Fire, but the purest essence of the Sun. Within the flames, a colossal figure, shadowing the sky, slowly descended.
Every scale of the Winged Dragon of Ra shimmered with a light brighter than the Sun. As its golden wings spread, flames and golden light filled the heavens and Earth.
Its eyes—pupils like molten gold—coldly gazed down at the retreating Apollo.
Tony floated in the golden light cast by the Winged Dragon of Ra, his voice imbued with unprecedented majesty:
"Now, let the two Sun Gods have a good 'exchange.'"
The moment Apollo saw the full form of the Winged Dragon of Ra, this proud Sun God exclaimed for the first time: "Ra? Impossible!"
The Winged Dragon of Ra's pupils simultaneously contracted, like miniature Suns burning. It did not roar or bellow, but simply slowly raised a foreclaw—and then gently pressed down.
The ground of the entire street instantly sank three meters.
Apollo's sword of light shattered under the divine power, his golden hair wildly dancing in the chaotic energy flow. The Sun God gritted his teeth, crossed his arms over his chest, and his entire body erupted with a dazzling Sun disc.
"You are not Ra!" Apollo's voice trembled. "You are merely—"
The Winged Dragon of Ra's wings suddenly spread, each feather bursting with light like a solar flare.
The remaining buildings on the street vaporized in the light, and the ground melted into a sea of crimson magma. Apollo's Sun disc was forcibly pressed back into his body. He grunted, dropping to one knee in mid-air.
But the Sun God of Olympus quickly stood up again. He tore open his golden cloak, revealing a chest covered in divine patterns. Apollo's skin began to crack, and liquid sunlight seeped from the fissures.
"In the name of Olympus!"
He transformed into a golden meteor, crashing directly into the Winged Dragon of Ra's chest. The moment the two Sun divine powers collided, a light pillar a thousand meters in diameter shot into the sky, tearing a huge hole in the atmosphere.
The Winged Dragon of Ra made a sound for the first time—not a roar, but a nearly contemptuous growl. Its pupils simultaneously locked onto Apollo, and its right claw slowly and unstoppably pressed down.
Apollo's arm muscles bulged, veins protruding. His combat boots created fiery ripples in the void, yet he was still being pushed down to the ground bit by bit. Golden divine blood seeped from the corner of the Sun God's mouth, dripping onto the Winged Dragon of Ra's claw armor, instantly vaporizing.
"I am the God of Light!" Apollo suddenly roared, twelve illusory Sun discs appearing behind him. "How could I—"
The Winged Dragon of Ra's left wing suddenly flapped.
A simple movement, yet it extinguished all twelve Sun discs simultaneously. Apollo was struck as if by lightning, and his entire body was slammed into the magma sea, stirring up lava waves a thousand meters high.
When Apollo struggled to rise from the magma, his golden armor had melted, and his handsome face was covered in scorch marks. But the Sun God's eyes still burned with unyielding Fire.
The Winged Dragon of Ra looked down at him, ancient runes swirling in its pupils. It slowly opened its mouth, and a pitch-black sphere condensed deep in its throat—that was not darkness, but the Sun's core compressed to its extreme.
Apollo's pupils contracted sharply. He clasped his hands together, all his divine power condensing into a shield of light before his chest.
The black sphere shot out silently.
The light shield lasted 0.3 seconds before disintegrating. The moment Apollo was swallowed by the black sphere, the entire Washington District could see a second Sun light up on the horizon.
When the bright light dissipated, Apollo hovered in the air, smoking. His left arm was gone, and his right eye was a charred hollow. But the Sun God was smiling.
"So that's it…" he said hoarsely. "You truly are… the embodiment of the Sun…"
When the two Sun powers collided again, time seemed to stand still for a second. Then—
A figure suddenly appeared between them.
Zeus's lightning simultaneously held back the Winged Dragon of Ra's claw and Apollo's fist. The King of the Gods' beard wildly danced in the energy storm, and lightning and the Sun intertwined around him.
"Enough." Zeus's voice overpowered the energy roar. "I didn't expect even the gods of Egypt to join the fun!"
The Winged Dragon of Ra's pupils simultaneously turned towards Zeus, while Apollo staggered back: "Father…" Tony's armor finally crawled out of the ruins, half of his faceplate shattered. He looked at the standoff of the three gods in the sky and whistled:
"Friday, remember to remind me to throw a party for Chen Tian."
