Chapter 130 - Chapter 131: Iron Man Falls from the Sky

"Of course not, why would you think that?"

Adam was stunned, a puzzled expression on his face.

Wanda's eyes lit up:

"You said you like mature women, so why are you interested in this space shuttle?"

"I'm here for Dr. Reed. He promised me that after this experiment, he would help me build better gravity equipment. With better gravity equipment, my Training will be more effective.

Your mind, Tenten, is always filled with gossip."

Adam raised his hand and flicked Wanda's forehead.

"So it was for Training!"

Wanda rubbed her forehead, which had been flicked, and immediately beamed with joy. She had misunderstood.

"Look, the Rocket has launched!"

To change the subject, Wanda quickly pointed to the Rocket on the launchpad, which had entered ignition status.

Adam also turned his head to look.

"It's quite spectacular."

Watching the Rocket ignite, launch, accelerate, separate, break through the atmosphere, and move away from Earth into orbit, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Sooner or later, I will cross space with my body."

Being able to survive in space, detached from Earth, is a very important ability.

Otherwise, if Earth explodes one day, he would die no matter how strong he was.

Currently, none of his Bloodlines can survive in the Universe without air, unless he abandons his body and lives in the state of a Shinigami. A Shinigami in pure soul form naturally doesn't have to worry about the lack of oxygen.

But without his body, his strength would be greatly reduced.

So it would be best to draw a protagonist template that can survive in the Universe in the future, or find a way to acquire the Ōtsutsuki physique in the Naruto World later, which would also allow him to survive in space.

"Alright, let's go!"

After watching the Rocket ascend, Adam put his arm around Wanda and flew up again.

His main purpose in coming was to supervise Dr. Reed. Now that the Rocket had launched and Dr. Reed was honestly in the command center, the next step was to quietly wait for the experiment to fail and the news of Doom Corporation's bankruptcy.

It would probably take a few days, so he didn't need to waste time here.

"Are we just going back to school like this?"

Flying in the air, Wanda asked somewhat reluctantly.

The entire morning had been wasted on her wild thoughts, and it felt like nothing had happened before it was over.

"I broke my promise last time to spend a day shopping with you. How about we go eat something later, and after that, I'll take you to an amusement park as compensation?"

Adam replied with a smile.

Children all love amusement parks, and he thought Wanda, at her age, should be no exception.

Since they had been out for so long today, spending half a day playing with Wanda would be a way to repay her for assisting his Training with Chaos Magic every day.

"That's great!"

Wanda's expression immediately brightened.

An amusement park, that's a must-visit spot for couples on a date.

However, just as the two were about to fly to the largest amusement park in Manhattan, Adam suddenly stopped and then looked up with some surprise:

"Strange, the kidnapping hasn't even happened yet, so how did the Iron Man Suit get developed so early?"

"What's wrong?"

Wanda saw Adam stop, and a puzzled look appeared on her face:

"Huh, what's that falling down?"

Following Adam's gaze, she looked up into the sky and saw a silver humanoid figure falling at high speed. Upon closer inspection, the silver figure looked somewhat like a robot covered in ice.

"A bold scientist."

Adam smiled, then flew towards the silver figure with Wanda and gently pointed his finger:

"Dampening Charm!"

The silver figure, which was falling at high speed, immediately slowed down. By the time it reached Adam, it was as light as a feather.

"Scourgify!"

The cleaning spell removed the ice from the silver figure, and the silver figure instantly came to life, its eyes lighting up, and the flame thrusters on its hands and feet returning to normal.

Ten minutes ago, Stark Industries Headquarters in Manhattan.

Tony, wearing his newly developed Mark 1 Armor, which hadn't even been painted yet, excitedly ordered his AI butler, Jarvis:

"Jarvis, check the weather conditions and air traffic control, and start monitoring ground control information."

Ever since he accidentally saw his father's Hydra Stomper fighting several Superheroes on the street last time, he had resolved to come back and create an armor that surpassed his father's Hydra Stomper.

For this purpose, he specifically moved his home laboratory to the group headquarters, because there was a giant Arc Reactor developed by his father there.

He wanted to find a way to miniaturize the unusable giant Arc Reactor into a practical small Arc Reactor to serve as the power source for the armor he was going to build.

After tireless research and experimentation, he finally completed his initial concept and created the first-generation Mark Armor.

It had a flying speed that was not inferior to the best fighter jets of the present, and it wasn't as bulky and clumsy as the Hydra Stomper. It could essentially be seen as a layer of metal casing attached to the human body.

Its appearance was much cooler than the Hydra Stomper.

"Sir, a large amount of calculation is still required before actual flight to ensure safety."

The AI butler, Jarvis, offered sound advice.

It was only initially completed. If he directly conducted experimental flights without various simulations and calculations, if there was a problem with the armor, it would be like a plane crash, with no chance of survival.

"Jarvis, sometimes it's better to run before you walk!"

Tony controlled the armor to take off directly.

He had absolute confidence in what he made. This confidence was accumulated from countless past successes. He didn't need any simulations or calculations at all.

"Wow. This is awesome. This is much more exhilarating than racing!"

With the flame thrusters at maximum, the extreme speed made him let out an excited shout.

"Fantastic maneuver."

After flying a few circles over Manhattan to adapt, he controlled the armor to fly straight towards the atmosphere:

"Alright, let me see the limits of this armor.

Jarvis, what's the highest record for the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane?"

"The record for fixed-wing flight is eighty-five thousand feet, sir."

"Records are meant to be broken! My armor can do more than that!"

With Tony's roar, the first-generation Mark Armor reached its maximum speed, and its altitude continuously climbed.

As the altitude increased, the temperature also dropped sharply. After the armor exceeded its maximum altitude, a thick layer of ice formed on it.

The low temperature caused the armor to immediately enter a frozen state, falling uncontrollably downwards.

If he couldn't restart the armor before it hit the ground, he would be smashed into a pulp along with the armor.

However, just as he was frantically manually activating the ice-clearing device and restarting the armor system, the armor's rate of descent suddenly slowed down unscientifically, and it even eventually stopped in mid-air.

The ice on the armor also instantly disappeared, allowing the armor to return to normal.
