The Time Demon Machine was on autopilot, heading towards Afghanistan. Zedd tapped his fingers on the armrest, humming a tune, clearly pleased with himself.
Last night, while Zedd was at the hospital, stealing medical supplies, inspiration struck, and he came up with a great idea to get Tony to willingly activate the Watch. To that end, the masked thief revisited several gang weapon caches.
I've contributed to the peace of New York again. What an unqualified Demon King I am!
The Time Demon Machine hovered above the terrorist base, waiting for Tony to finish assembling the Mark Prototype Armor.
Tony, already suited up in the Iron Suit, said to Yinsen, who was operating the computer:
"Yinsen, activate the power system. Press F11, then Ctrl+I+Enter. Hurry up and tighten those screws for me."
Yinsen anxiously replied, "They're coming! We don't have time!"
"Forget them, stick to the plan, Yinsen!"
Yinsen put down the wrench in his hand and said calmly, "There isn't enough time. I will buy you some time."
No matter how Tony shouted, Yinsen didn't look back. He picked up an AK-47 from the ground and charged out without hesitation.
Hearing gunfire inside the base, Zedd seized the opportunity of the terrorist's chaos outside. He jumped out of the Time God Machine from a dead corner of the gully and swaggered towards the cave.
The Hourglass Gun's power was too great. Considering that it wasn't time for him to go on a killing spree yet, Zedd only used the Hourglass Sword mode. All the terrorists he encountered along the way were slashed down by Zedd.
It has to be said that although cold weapons have far less destructive power than firearms, the intense thrill of slashing and hacking everything with a sword is definitely more stimulating to the secretion of adrenaline and more addictive.
Hearing the desperate cries of the terrorists outside the cave and the muffled sounds of gunfire and deformation inside the cave, Zedd was very excited.
He quickly took a few deep breaths to calm down a bit. Zedd then hid a few Remote Detonation Bombs in the base's ammo depot.
These Remote Detonation Bombs were rare goods among the New York gangs. For those guys whose heads were full of muscles, caliber and firepower were justice, the only thing that mattered. Hand grenades, RPGs, and other heavy firepower weapons were not lacking for slightly larger gangs, but Zedd had to go to several gangs to find these Remote Detonation Bombs.
After secretly planting the remote detonation bombs, Zedd confirmed that those terrorists weren't dumb enough to shoot at their own ammo depot, and then he confidently ran toward the cave where Tony was being held, despite the gunfire.
Upon entering the cave, Zedd continued to use the Hourglass Sword to cut down one enemy after another, but Zedd, who had just calmed down, had already entered sage mode. These guys couldn't satisfy Zedd anymore.
They were too weak!
Tony, piloting the Mark Prototype Armor, was unstoppable in the cave. Anyone hit by an Iron Fist would have their entire sternum shattered, flying several meters before hitting a wall and falling. Rounding a corner, Tony backhanded another unlucky guy, right in the face.
When he was about to reach the exit, the Bald Leader had already ambushed him here, using Yinsen to attract Tony's attention, and then fired a grenade at Tony.
Unfortunately, the Bald Leader was a human outline master.
Since it was a fair exchange, Tony also fired a rocket at the Bald Leader.
He was also a human outline master. The difference was that the unlucky Bald Leader was smashed by the broken stone walls.
"Yinsen! Hold on! Your family is waiting for you!"
"My family is long gone, I'm going to meet them soon. Don't worry, I have no regrets," Yinsen said slowly, on his deathbed.
"Thank you for saving my life."
"Then cherish it, don't waste your life."
Zedd, who had rushed to the scene, immediately finished off the Bald Leader under the rubble with a stab and then said, "Use this first aid kit, he's not dead yet!" With that, he tossed out the first aid equipment he had stolen the night before.
Tony Stark turned to look at this strange clockwork person. He didn't have time to ask questions and took the first aid kit to begin emergency treatment on Yinsen.
"You saved me once, this time it's my turn to save you. Watch out for me." Tony had Zedd help him remove the arm armor of the Iron Suit, then knelt on the ground and took out first aid bandages, a respirator, various injections, tweezers, and other tools to perform a flurry of operations on Yinsen's wounds.
Zedd was curious. The playboy, Tony Stark, who struggled to tie a tie, was surprisingly skilled at using this professional medical equipment. But now that he had taken off the Mark Prototype Armor, Tony Stark couldn't withstand a small bullet. He couldn't let this most important Avenger go down here.
With no danger of the ammunition depot exploding inside the cave, Zedd could freely blast away just by adjusting the output power of the Hourglass Gun. And his current task was just to protect Tony Stark from being disturbed, without needing pinpoint accuracy. He just needed to shoot at the corners to keep the enemy from peeking out.
"…@#…%…*…%" (Shit! How is this guy not out of bullets yet?!)
"…&…#…%…/…" (We can't hold on much longer! Send support!)
"…%…&………" (Did he have his R key ripped out?)
Zedd couldn't understand what these guys were saying anyway, and the explosions from the energy bullets hitting the walls completely drowned out the voices of the lackeys.
"Are you ready yet? Tony Stark! I can't hold on much longer!"
"Who are you kidding? You've got them pinned down, they can't even stick their heads up. Almost done, two more minutes. Mr. Clock Face!"
Zedd resisted the urge to turn his gun around, silently increasing the Hourglass Gun's power by 30%.
Tony tossed aside the portable wound sealant and had Zedd help him put the Iron Suit's arm armor back on, "I'm definitely optimizing this baby's dressing system when we get back. You take Ethan and hide behind me, protect him."
Zedd, already bored with the weaklings, was glad to be taking it easy. He hoisted Yinsen and followed Tony.
With the Iron Suit's super flamethrowers blazing a path, the outside of the cave was quickly engulfed in flames, turning all the terrorists into mobile torches.
"If you keep burning like that, the ammo depot is going to blow! I don't care, but this guy is in danger!" Zedd reminded him.
Hearing this, Tony immediately shut off the flamethrowers and charged out of the encirclement, braving the flames.
It was only then that Tony had time to take a good look at this clock guy. He wore a black base outfit of unknown material, a strange belt around his waist, and a huge watch strap hanging from his chest armor. His head was directly a watch, with words he didn't recognize.
"I haven't even asked who you are? Did the military send you? Or are you some kind of secret weapon from a special department? Right! Your taste is terrible. When I get out, I think I can send you a pile of Rolexes," Tony chatted with Zedd beside him.
"My name is Kamen Rider Zi-O. You don't need to know anything else for now. The garage is over there. We can leave."
"Wait, I can't leave yet. I still have something I must do. You find a car and take Yinsen and go first," Tony said, striding away.
Zedd said lightly to Tony's back, "If you're going to blow up the armory, I can only say I've already placed Remote Detonation Bombs there. Just press a button." He tossed the Build Watch in his hand.
"Attention! Reverse! Attention! Reverse!"
Tony took the Build Watch from Kamen Rider Zi-O, his mouth twitching. "You really like watches. Alright. I owe you one."
"I do like this watch. Don't throw it away after you're done, remember to return it to me. I'll take Yinsen and leave first, detonate in three minutes." Zedd finished speaking, threw a cheap timer to Tony, and then carried Yinsen towards a happy Jeep.
Tony raised the Iron Suit's flamethrower, squeezing out the last bit of fuel and pouring the last of his fury onto those who were chasing him.
Three minutes later, Tony turned to face the direction Kamen Rider Zi-O drove off in, pressed the button hidden under his arm armor, and the Iron Suit's jet flight system activated. While soaring into the sky, Tony pressed the Build Watch in his hand.
Boom! The base exploded violently three seconds later, and a huge wave of fire shot into the sky. The face armor of the Iron Suit blocked Tony's vision, and his attention had already been drawn by the sea of fire. He completely failed to notice a flash of purple light on the Build Watch in his hand.
Meanwhile, in the Jeep, Zedd was counting down the three-minute limit second by second: "Now!"
Yinsen woke up in the passenger seat, disoriented. He looked around and, not seeing Tony, only a strange armored figure, asked, "Who are you? Where's Tony?"
Zedd stopped the car at the foot of a dune and muttered to himself, "This should be the place, right? Ah! You're awake! My name is Kamen Rider Zi-O. Tony will be here any minute. Speaking of the devil, here he comes!" With that, Zedd raised his hand and pointed at a black dot in the sky.
"Ahhohoho~"
Tony, flying in the air, was lucky enough to escape the explosion. The high-speed flight, the violent explosion, and the joy of surviving made Tony shout excitedly. But this middle-aged man, whose mental age was clearly not very high, obviously didn't understand the principle of "misery follows joy."
Because of the poor working environment inside the cave, the quality of the Iron Suit wasn't high. Large-caliber firearms had also caused a lot of damage to the Iron Suit, and the impact of the explosion was the last straw.
The Iron Suit managed to fly for a while before beginning to fall. Its mission was complete.
"Oh! No! Hold on a little longer! Hold on a little longer! Noooo~~"
Zedd couldn't bear to watch Tony roll down from such a high dune. What if he was killed? Even if he didn't die, getting hurt in the head wouldn't be good! He dropped into a deep squat and jumped, flying up to the Iron Suit to absorb most of the kinetic energy. Then, he stepped on the Iron Suit's back and helped Tony adjust his direction, piloting the Tony-brand skateboard down the dune.
After steadying himself, Zedd bent over and took the purple watch from Tony's hand.
Wait a minute! Why is it purple?
Where's my Build Watch?
