Bia!
The test subject was so flat it looked like a pizza.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With loud bangs, a robust figure tangled up with three test subjects broke through the wall.
With muffled sounds of fists and feet hitting flesh, two of the test subjects were sent flying.
Seeing that, Tony curled his lip. “He’s actually using the earliest version of Batman’s armor. What a fool.”
In the end, he saw Iron Cage King grab the last test subject in the air and perform a back body slam.
Boom!
Half of the test subject’s body was stuck in the ground. Only its legs kicked twice in the air before falling still.
Iron Cage King didn’t stop moving. He turned around, bent down and charged at the two test subjects who had just gotten up. He twisted and wrapped his hands around the neck of one of the test subjects and his legs around the other’s.
The three of them spun a few times in the air, and the test subject between Iron Cage King’s legs was slammed down.
Bang!
The entire upper half of the experimental body was pressed into the ground by Iron Cage King.
Kneeling on the test subject’s back, Iron Cage King then exerted strength with both arms.
Bang!
The second test subject smashed into the ground, creating a crater.
In the air, the tycoon gulped and flew away with a swoosh. Hm, this guy didn’t look any weaker than Batman in terms of combat ability. He should be qualified to be a temporary teammate.
However, Tony felt a little cold all over. Even if those test subjects were a little stronger, they weren’t made of steel. Did Iron Cage King have to use so much strength?!
Murmuring to himself, he killed a few monsters on the way before he reached a high vantage point at Grand Army Plaza ten seconds later.
Before he got too close, he saw a slim pink figure running swiftly along the street.
Magnetic suction gear! This was much worse than a jet propulsion system. Tony immediately turned his nose up at this technology. But what the hell was with that pink suit?
It looked like this temporary teammate was a little girl who didn’t seem reliable. Even as Tony was criticizing inwardly, the girl in pink rolled into an apartment building.
Tony immediately flew lower so that he could see through a window.
The girl took out a short rod from her waist. Instantly, long silver blades popped out from both ends, and the rod turned into a rare double-ended longsword.
With a flick of the wrist, the double-ended longsword lashed out like a tornado to meet three test subjects.
Both parties charged past each other.
Holding the weapon in one hand, the girl sped up as she left. The longsword turned back into a rod, which she put back at her waist.
The three test subjects behind her took a few steps forward, before their bodies suddenly broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
The exchange took less than three seconds.
Tony’s mouth moved. He wanted to look down on the other party for using such an unclassy weapon, but he felt that this “tornado slash” was indeed very cool.
The tycoon could criticize anything for being ugly, but he couldn’t ignore his conscience and deny the importance of looks, because that would be the same as denying himself.
He also noticed a Winnie the Pooh design on the chest of the pink suit, so this should be… Pink Bear of the Blackpink Bears. Then, where was Black Bear?
Tony looked around and saw a dark figure in an alley next to the building. The man had stepped on the backs of two test subjects and was holding a shotgun. He shot one test subject in the back of the head and the other in the back.
The head exploded, and the test subject that had been shot in the back twitched weakly before falling still.
Tony snorted. This guy… had no sense of aesthetics at all.
But it had to be said that he dealt enough damage to the test subjects.
However, Black Bear clearly didn’t care about aesthetics.
He was a lot more seasoned than Pink Bear. He turned to look in Tony’s direction and asked over the comms, “Iron Man?”
Tony said, “Yes.”
Then, Black Bear nodded at Tony in the air in farewell, before following Pink Bear.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Tony couldn’t follow him any longer. He turned around and flew to Bedford Avenue station, where Black Cat was.
Tony was very interested in this female superhero who appeared with Batman in the news and was even about to surpass him.
Last time, after Ivan had borrowed Hammer Industries’ resources to make trouble, Tony had heard Natasha mention how strong Black Cat was, but her expression had been a little strange.
Also, from the battle reports, Black Cat was very diligent in killing monsters, and was no less efficient than Blackpink Bears and Batman.
As soon as Tony flew over, he saw a dark shadow chasing a group of test subjects on the street.
The passers-by were so frightened that they yelled and ran around, causing the test subjects to scatter.
Tony swiftly flew down and aimed his non-lethal weapons at the test subjects.
Black Cat couldn’t split herself, and it was naturally impossible for her to protect the passers-by who were running around.
He had barely moved, when Black Cat stretched out her hands. “Get back here.”
Black cobweb-like threads shot out in a storm at an extremely fast speed and instantly stuck to the dozen or so test subjects.
When Black Cat pulled her hands back, the test subjects flew back toward her.
The black threads quickly detached from the test subjects and retracted into her wrists. Sharp claws instantly appeared on her hands.
She lunged forward like a nimble cat and swiped at the test subjects flying back at her with her claws.
Tony’s lips twitched. Was this Black Cat? Why did she feel more like the Black Widow than Natasha did?
However, when she slashed at the test subjects with her claws, she could even twist and turn in the air. She really was like a cat.
Looking at that reaction speed, Tony knew that he would be beaten up if he ever went up against her.
Amidst his shock, Bastet said over the comms, “Save a few more people since you can fly fast. What are you waiting for? Is it a good thing to be last?”
Tony was stunned. He looked at the number of kills in the comms channel. In last place… was him.
His face couldn’t help but darken. I was the last one to join. How can you talk about the kill count? Hm, wait, even if I joined last, I shouldn’t be stuck there with my abilities.
Wow, you almost got me! Sure enough, you’re with Charcoal Head. How insufferable! The tycoon cursed inwardly and quickly slipped away.
With Batman and Black Cat in Brooklyn, stealing kills wouldn’t be easy. Tony felt that he should go to Queens and see what his temporary teammates there were like.
For now, he was quite satisfied with them. At the very least, no weaklings had snuck in.
When he passed by Williamsburg, he only glanced at the situation and didn’t stop.
Big Dipper’s fighting style was even more outrageous; his blade and gun never stopped moving.
Ordinary bullets didn’t have much effect on the test subjects, but his shots were so accurate that each shot could make one lose its balance, and he then cut it into eight pieces with his longsword. The whole process was so smooth, as if he was a woodcutter or butcher..
