Chapter 94 - Chapter 92 Undercurrent

A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, United States, two weeks later.

Unlike the widespread public opinion, the military, arms giants, and HYDRA were all terrifyingly quiet.

The battle between Wind God and Rhino truly scared them all.

With their resources, they had already thoroughly investigated the origin and abilities of Rhino.

Most of them had a good idea of how strong Rhino was.

But even so, Rhino was completely dominated by Wind God throughout the fight, without any room to retaliate.

With the existence of Wind God as such a formidable peak, everyone was disheartened to realize that acquiring the Mark Five through the Martial Arts Tournament via legitimate channels was almost impossible.

There was a ninety-nine percent chance that the Mark Five would fall into the Silver Armored War God's hands, but does the Silver Armored War God need the Mark Five?

Heh heh!

If such a thing really happened, everyone would be pleasantly surprised to find that the most mature mechs in this world would always be only Wind God, Mark, and Scarlet.

And that had nothing to do with them!

This whole thing was completely a light comedy orchestrated by the Silver Armored War God and Tony Stark!

Left hand exchanges with right hand; one has to say, they did a splendid job.

But having grown accustomed to eating meat, in this new era, why would they willingly degrade themselves to eating grass?

Rules are only for others to hear.

For them, if it's beneficial, they use it; if it's useless, they kick it away; if it becomes useful again, they wipe it clean and continue using it!

Alcatraz Prison.

The battle between Wind God and Rhino made General Lennox no longer hesitate, completely making up his mind.

A cell made entirely of plastic, with no trace of metal visible.

Lennox looked at the short, thin man in front of him with suspicion.

Can he really defeat Tony Stark and the Silver Armored War God in their Iron Man suits?

Rhino was defeated!

The lieutenant colonel smiled, leaned close to the thin man, and whispered a few words.

Then he clapped his hands, and a soldier tacitly brought a steel construction material, while another soldier used a plastic key to unlock the plastic handcuffs on his hands.

The thin man said nothing, directly touching the metal construction material with his hand, and instantly, the metal material turned into liquid.

These liquids then gradually coated the thin man's body, and in an instant, this unremarkable thin man transformed into a silver-plated metal man, shining all over.

Instantly transform metal into liquid?

This superpower is simply like it exists to counter Iron Man and the Silver Armored War God — a true "Iron Man Nemesis"!

General Lennox's eyes immediately lit up; with such a trump card, what is there to fear from Iron Man and the Silver Armored War God?

The Mark Five is ultimately his!

Not only the military but also the members of HYDRA were deeply shaken by the battle between Wind God and Rhino.

Although they never intended to obtain the Mark armor through official channels from beginning to end, Wind God's combat power still made them extremely wary.

The red ruby can turn anyone who touches it into the incredibly strong "Red Tank," but this type is exactly the same as Rhino.

If Wind God can easily defeat Rhino, then defeating Red Tank is naturally not difficult.

Therefore, this Red Tank who comes to disrupt the situation must be stronger, stronger, and even stronger!

Even if he is defeated, he must at least be able to hold off Iron Man and the Silver Armored War God for half an hour.

But can such a person truly be found?

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

Just then, a HYDRA member suddenly spoke, "If it's just to cause chaos, then whether he is controllable or not doesn't matter as much, right?"

"Uncontrollable?"

"That's insane; are you planning to tear down New York?"

"When the sky falls, aren't there tall people to hold it up? This world is far more mysterious than you imagine; learn about Captain Marvel!"

"Where can we find such a monster?"

"Have you forgotten Abomination? I remember he's currently imprisoned in a U.S. military base, right?"

"Red Hulk Abomination?"

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

Long Island Villa.

Whether it was the tumultuous media opinions or the surging undercurrents of various forces…

It had nothing to do with Rimuru; it seemed as if the storm's center was not her, but others.

Life was as it used to be, and it remained so now.

After Rimuru finished reading J. Jonah Jameson's report in The Daily Bugle, she casually tossed it aside.

What does it matter to her whether the world needs the Silver Armored War God or not?

Even if it did, she wouldn't necessarily be willing to meddle.

She's not some superhero!

Given her current strength, she could completely ignore these ghosts and monsters' conspiracies.

But what made Rimuru somewhat exasperated was the endless stream of people coming to console her.

Are they truly so fragile and irritable in their hearts?

Natasha coming over to explain was understandable.

After all, the lesson Rimuru taught Nick Fury was too profound, and it was only natural that Nick Fury became increasingly "submissive" when facing her.

But seeing Peter Parker, though young, mimicking Uncle Ben and speaking many philosophical words, Rimuru couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.

Childish, yet unexpectedly heartwarming!

But what does it mean when even Tony Stark, that venomous tongue, comes over?

Tony is one of the few people in this world who truly understands her origins and past.

He came to comfort her? Is that necessary?

Besides, Rimuru doesn't believe Tony has a talent for comforting people.

"If you are nothing without this suit, then you don't deserve to have it."

Whenever Rimuru thought of Iron Man's words scolding Spider-Man, she felt extremely speechless.

Is there anything wrong with this sentence?

Absolutely nothing!

But when Iron Man said it, it was unexpectedly comical!

"Rimuru, this article is just the beginning. As long as their desires are not satisfied, you will face more and more doubts, criticisms, and malice in the future!"

Tony Stark looked at Rimuru, his expression serious and exceptionally earnest, as he spoke.

"So what? Strive to live according to others' demands? Give up everything you have?"

Rimuru shrugged, not taking it to heart at all.

The Tony Stark she knew lived a life of carefree abandon; when did he ever care about others' opinions?

"Of course not!" Tony Stark immediately denied.

"Even if you give up everything, they still won't be satisfied, because they think they can get more!"

Rimuru scrutinized Tony Stark, a little puzzled, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"Do you feel that human hearts are very dark? Greedy, rude, ugly, selfish…"

"What do you want to express?"

"Rimuru, you are a Slime, so perhaps you don't understand the essence of humanity. But humans are like this, with both light and darkness."

"I hope that after you see the essence of humanity clearly, you can still love humanity. At least, don't hate humans or seek revenge on them!"

Pfft!

Rimuru almost spat out her drink; so Tony Stark came today not to comfort her, but to worry that she would seek revenge on humanity in a fit of rage!

Is it that serious?

"I'm just a tiny Slime, not Chthon; seeking revenge on humans? You're thinking too much!"

Tony Stark: "…"

[I know you're a Slime, but what does "tiny" have to do with you?]

Indeed, Tony Stark came today more out of concern for Rimuru.

Rimuru is too powerful!

And those humans outside are madly provoking Rimuru's patience.
