The Iron Monger, having absorbed some of the Extreme Gamer's technology, was completely overwhelming Tony with its surprising agility and immense power, which was entirely disproportionate to its size.
A punch landed on the Mark III's chest, sending it crashing into a wall. An excited Stane shouted, "Tony! See? This is my true power. Your little toys are useless against me!"
As Stane finished speaking, Tony flew at the Iron Monger at full speed, firing with maximum firepower. Stane, however, didn't get knocked back this time; the Iron Monger used sheer force to withstand the impact.
Shaking off the Mark III, which was clinging to its chest, Stane raised his right arm, which was equipped with a Gatling gun, and aimed it at Tony. "Tony! I'll show you how terrifying the weapons you discarded so casually can be!"
A barrage of bullets rained down on the Mark III, leaving it battered and bruised. Tony made a quick decision and told Jarvis, "Fly! Initiate automatic evasion."
The Mark III shot into the sky, dodging the incoming bullets. Seeing Tony trying to escape, Stane immediately gave chase.
"Where do you think you're going?" The massive Iron Monger was also equipped with a flight system. While its weight prevented it from catching up to Tony, it was enough to close the distance.
Stane launched a barrage of missiles after Tony, who could only use his stored decoy missiles to neutralize the incoming attacks. However, when it came to ammunition reserves, three Mark IIIs couldn't compare to a single Iron Monger.
"Sir, the missile supply is completely depleted. The suit is 68% damaged, with 13%9%7% energy remaining," Jarvis reported dutifully, detailing the suit's condition.
In this moment of crisis, Tony decided to use the high-altitude, low-temperature freeze he'd encountered before to deal with Stane. With a plan in mind, Tony didn't hesitate. "Jarvis, ascend at full speed!"
Stane, blinded by his power, didn't hesitate either and followed Tony upwards. Upon reaching the sky, Iron Monger grabbed the energy-depleted Mark III. "Tony, you're asking for it!"
Tony, held in his grasp, was unfazed. "Asking for it? I don't think so. How are you going to deal with the high-altitude, low-temperature freeze?"
Stane paused, then said, "Freeze? That's a problem, but Tony, don't you think I'm in a better situation than you are?"
Stane's words startled Tony. Scanning with Jarvis revealed that although a thin layer of frost covered Iron Monger's surface, the impact was minimal. Tony hadn't expected Stane's Iron Suit to be so advanced.
In this situation, which was disadvantageous to both sides, the severely damaged Mark III was clearly in a more precarious position.
After reaching the highest point, both Iron Suits lost speed and began to fall. Stane's Iron Monger regained power mid-air, while Tony continued to plummet.
"Jarvis! Quickly, restart the flight system!" At Tony's shout, Jarvis restarted the flight system at the last moment. After crashing through the warehouse roof, he managed a safe landing.
"Jarvis! Report!"
"Sir, the machine is 95% damaged, with 3% energy remaining, and ammunition is depleted."
"Concentrate all energy to the chest, prepare for a final attack."
Tony, having made his preparations, remained motionless on the ground.
Stane, piloting the Iron Monger, landed nearby. Seeing Tony lying motionless in the rubble, he wasn't in a hurry to approach, instead saying with a sneer, "Tony! Are you dead yet? Oh~! Whether you're dead or not, I'm going to blast you first!"
After saying this, Stane raised his undamaged left arm, opened the missile bay, and loudly proclaimed, "This time, I won't hold back! Really, it's goodbye! Tony!"
Tony: (д;) BOOM! A green energy blast hit the missile bay on the Iron Monger's arm, causing a huge explosion.
"Who's there!" Although the Iron Monger's durability meant this damage was nothing, Stane was still angry at the sudden interruption.
Tony was also curious about the sudden appearance of the newcomer, peering out from the gap in the rubble. The person was wearing a silver bodysuit with green armor decorations.
"Kamen Rider Woz! But! I am not the protagonist of today!" Woz said and then stepped aside, speaking enthusiastically: "Today's protagonist is Your Majesty, the Demon King!"
Tony saw Zi-O, who had once saved him in Afghanistan, walking over from the gap.
Stane naturally didn't recognize these strangely dressed, spandex-clad clowns. He opened the weapon ports on the Iron Monger's shoulders and aimed them at the two, "Who are you?"
Neither Zed nor Woz paid him any attention. Zed took the watch dial he had just obtained from Ethan from his belt buckle and casually played with it, while Woz cleared his throat, preparing to celebrate something. Moreover, Zed was happy to stall for time to make it easier for Dan Kuroto to raid the place.
"You two bastards! Why are you pretending to be mute!" Stane, already on the verge of rage, directly fired several small missiles at the two.
Without Zed saying anything, Woz directly struck and destroyed the incoming missiles. Zed raised his hand and waved away the smoke in front of him, saying, "Since you insist on fighting, I can't refuse."
Then, Zed turned the new watch face with his left hand and pressed the button.
Faiz~ (555)
Armor Time~ Complete~ Faiz~ Celebrate! The time king who inherits the power of all Riders, transcends time and space, and unifies the past and present, his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O Faiz Armor. This is the moment to inherit the power of Kamen Rider Faiz.
"Are you guys putting on a play? Ugh!"
The furious Stane interrupted Woz, who was about to say something. Although the armored man's transformation was amazing, Stane still felt like he was being played.
Woz pouted, displeased with Stane for interrupting him.
"Woz, go drag Tony to a safe place. Remember, don't let him come back, and don't let him have a chance to enter Stane's office."
Ignoring Stane's glare, Woz walked towards the Mark III and grabbed one of Tony's legs, dragging him away from the battlefield.
Tony, knowing he was safe, transferred the last of his chest's energy to his hand and fired a final repulsor blast at Stane. Then, he tilted his head and said to Woz, "Can you change your pose?"
Woz ignored him. But Stane, who had been hit, reacted instantly! He immediately opened fire on the two of them while charging towards them.
Zed wouldn't let Stane have his way. "Where do you think you're going? We haven't even started fighting!" As Zed spoke, he launched an attack on Stane.
Zed's first target was the Iron Monger's best-functioning left arm, which he grabbed and destroyed the surface armor, preventing the Iron Monger from opening the ammunition storage inside.
Excellent combat experience allowed Zed to jump immediately after destroying the Iron Monger's left arm, avoiding Stane's right fist and leaping over the Iron Monger's head to its back.
The destruction of the left arm's weapon system was very disadvantageous for Stane. "Who the hell are you? Did Tony hire you? I can give you three times the pay!" Whether it was true or not, Zed didn't care.
"What I want can't be bought with money." Zed pulled out the Faiz phone on his belt's left side, firing while approaching the Iron Monger again. Even though the Iron Monger was more agile than the Mark III, it couldn't compare to a Kamen Rider.
The sparse bullets couldn't intercept the opponent, forcing Stane to engage in close combat. Giant steel fists swung towards Zed.
But this suited Zed perfectly, and he immediately entered the numerical code into the Faiz phone.
A red light flashed from the driver, and the light followed his torso, entering his right arm, finally coalescing into a digital camera gauntlet on his right fist. With the gauntlet, Zed wasn't afraid at all.
Boom! Two fists, one large and one small, one gray and one red, collided in the air. The immense shockwave and sonic boom shattered everything around them, centered on the two combatants. Especially beneath their feet, huge cracks caused the ground to sink by more than ten centimeters.
When the surroundings calmed down, the sound of the Iron Monger's metallic mechanical arm shattering was particularly noticeable.
"No! No! This is impossible! How could my Iron Monger possibly... possibly!" Stane couldn't accept that the Iron Monger had lost to a little guy in terms of strength. Stane roared and howled, looking like a madman.
"You forced my hand!" Stane decided to use the watch that possessed immense energy, which claimed to boost the performance of the Iron Suit by three times in ten minutes.
He activated the watch inside the Iron Monger, and a continuous flow of power surged up. Stane believed that with this kind of power, he wouldn't lose to the little guy in front of him.
"Ha~~hahahaha This is power! What a powerful force! Even if you beg for mercy now, I won't let you go!"
Zed knew that Stane had been blinded by power, losing his sharp mind. The power of the Another Scepter also affected Stane through the Iron Monger, driving him even crazier.
"You're really idiotic! You actually believed the claim of tripled power for ten minutes?"
"How is that possible? How did you know? Could it be... you! It's you!" The last vestiges of Stane's mental capacity allowed him to understand Zed's implication.
"How could something that passed through my hands not be tampered with? If I didn't tamper with it, would I even be human?"
"Impossible! This! What exactly did you do!"
"The watch face you're using now is indeed fine, but what about the watch face combined with this Iron Monger? The Iron Monger's internal energy isn't just tripled now; the fragile internal structure simply can't handle it."
As the power surged, short circuits, black smoke, and flames appeared all over the Iron Monger. Stane could no longer control it.
"No! No! No! No~"
Zed didn't bother continuing to talk with the crazed Stane and pulled out his phone, tapping it.
Following an electronic sound effect, a drill appeared on the right leg of the Faiz Armor. He then pressed the finisher button on the watch.
After rotating the device, Zed slowly squatted down, his legs spread apart, his right hand resting on his right leg.
Exceed Time Burst!
After striking a pose for a few seconds, Zed leaped up, the crimson drill combining with the Time Burst, hitting the immobile Stane.
In the explosion, Zed vaguely heard Stane muttering something about being the strongest.
