Chapter 136: Stealthy Ambush is the Way (Second Update)
Chapter 136: Stealthy Ambush is the Way (Second Update)
In the forest stream within the Simulated Ecosystem Garden,
Colonel Rhodes and Tony crashed down heavily.
Although Tony was protected by his Mark War Armor, he still hit the ground with a daze, making it difficult for him to get up immediately.
Colonel Rhodes's War Machine, being remotely controlled, also suffered inside, but the War Armor quickly rose and pinned Tony down.
The M134 machine gun on the War Machine's back activated, aiming at Tony's head, ready to blast through his helmet and deliver a fatal blow.
Fortunately, Tony finally regained his senses and managed to force one hand free to grip the gun barrel, struggling to prevent it from aiming at his head.
However, because the new Arc Reactor hadn't been fully developed yet, his Mark War Armor's power was still the same as before. The intense flight and battle with the robots had already drained a significant amount of energy.
Now, with the War Machine pressing down on him, he found it difficult to hold his ground.
Thanks to the Magic Potion from the wizard, which temporarily alleviated the threat to his life, Tony wasn't as urgent about researching the items his father left behind.
This led to the fact that, although he had found a new element through his father's legacy that could completely replace palladium, he hadn't had the time to complete the new Arc Reactor.
So, when he received the threatening call from Ivan Vanko in the lab, he had to use the previous Arc Reactor as a temporary solution, hurriedly putting on his War Armor and rushing from Los Angeles to the scene.
Fortunately, even if he were to be poisoned again, he wasn't afraid. He believed that once he returned, it wouldn't take long to complete the new reactor and permanently solve the palladium poisoning issue.
"Upside-Down Jinx!"
Just as Tony was struggling to hold on, a voice suddenly rang out, and the body of Colonel Rhodes, which was pinning him down, was flipped upside down in mid-air.
It was Jerry, riding his broom, who had arrived just in time.
"Again, you're asking for it!"
Ivan Vanko, wearing his homemade Whip War Armor and flying toward the Simulated Ecosystem Garden from Hammer Industries, saw Jerry's figure through the War Machine's remote feed and immediately narrowed his eyes.
This little brat had just used some tricks to disable all of his Ground Robots.
If he hadn't been focused on killing Tony, he would have already directed his Air Robots to teach the brat a lesson.
"Just a little trick!"
Through his Whip War Armor, Ivan began his counterattack.
In the Simulated Ecosystem Garden, the War Machine, which had been hanging upside down, paused for a moment. Then, its thrusters activated, breaking the inverted bell curse and landing on the ground.
The Upside-Down Jinx can suspend a person upside down in mid-air, where they have no leverage to break the spell. They can only use a counter-curse to dispel it or wait for the spell's effect to wear off.
However, the War Machine, being a War Armor, had thrusters. Even when hanging upside down, it could still land by using the thrusters' power.
Once on the ground, the War Machine immediately raised its machine gun, preparing to attack Jerry.
But Jerry remained calm, even waving at the War Machine.
He had already seen Tony get up and aim his energy cannon at the War Machine.
Sure enough, before War Machine's machine guns could even start spinning, Tony's energy cannon blasted him, sending him flying into a nearby tree.
At that moment, Tony received a call from Black Widow.
"I've rebooted War Machine, your good friend Colonel Rhodes is back!"
It turned out that Black Widow had already taken down all of Hammer Industries' guards and made her way to the computer Ivan Vanko had used. With her exceptional hacking skills, she successfully disabled Ivan's remote control over War Machine.
"Thanks, Agent Romanoff!"
Tony removed his helmet and approached Colonel Rhodes, tapping on his helmet with his hand.
"Hey, buddy, wake up. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks!"
Colonel Rhodes opened his helmet and shook his head, still a bit dazed.
"Mr. Stark, I saved you again. Is everything over now?"
Seeing that Colonel Rhodes was back to normal, Jerry also stepped forward.
Tony pulled Colonel Rhodes to his feet and replied to Jerry.
"Oh, thanks, but I don't think it's over yet. Those Air Robots that were chasing me are probably about to arrive!"
At that moment, Tony heard another notification from Black Widow. The computer showed that twelve robots were converging on their location, likely controlled by Ivan using another system.
"Good luck!"
Jerry gave them a thumbs-up and quickly ran into the nearby woods, vanishing from sight.
Jerry didn't have a good way to deal with those flying robots. His Magic Dragon could still be used, but it couldn't fly. On the ground, it would just be a sitting duck, and he didn't have much magic power left.
Moreover, those flying robots were equipped with machine guns and missiles, and there were so many of them. Even with the shield charm on his wizard robe, it wouldn't be very safe.
However, he wasn't really planning to run away. Standing out in the open to fight those robots wasn't a wise move, so he decided to hide in the shadows first.
When the time came, he would let Tony and Rhodey, in their Iron Man suits, take the front lines while he provided magical support from the shadows.
Despite taking out a dozen robots in the square, Jerry was well aware of his limitations.
The robots were tough, and most of his magical attacks couldn't cause fatal damage. He had only been able to do so much by remotely controlling his Magic Dragon and taking advantage of the fact that those Ground Robots couldn't fly.
Besides, Jerry's philosophy had always been safety first. Even in the square, he had only joined the fight at the end.
"Ah, this!"
Seeing Jerry flee the scene without hesitation, Tony raised his hand, then let it fall, speechless.
After all, the other party was still a kid, and while he could perform some magical tricks, how could a child be involved in the upcoming dangerous battle?
"Alright, partner, what's your plan?"
Tony turned to Colonel Rhodes.
Colonel Rhodes looked around.
"I think we should find a high ground and wait for them to come down, then hit them hard."
However, before they could discuss where to find a good vantage point, the twelve combat robots landed with a thud, surrounding them.
Meanwhile, Jerry, hiding in the woods, quietly took out a large mirror from his Spacetime Box.
"Let me show you my Mirror Magic!"
