Marvel's God-level Mage

Chapter 252 The Prelude to the Attack
"Your heart and brain show no signs of abnormality. My diagnosis is that you have just experienced a severe panic attack." Zhou Yang's conclusion is the same as Jarvis's. They have always believed that Stark has great psychological pressure .

"I don't know why, these incidents of the Mandarin always make me feel hard to breathe." Stark forced a smile on his face, trying his best to think that Zhou Yang was also the reason for his current physical condition, and he didn't want his friends to know. The things you really worry about.

The Mandarin is indeed one of Stark's old enemies, but Zhou Yang knows that the real thing is not the case.

In the battle in outer space, although they did not easily destroy the Kiritas' star fleet, the Kiritas did not put much pressure on them, especially after knowing the weaknesses of the Kiritas, Stark was even more Don't take them to heart.

It was Thanos who really put pressure on him. Stark didn't even see the true face of Thanos clearly. Just a vague figure in the dark shadow had already made him sleep restlessly all night long. Up to now, the pressure has almost reached the limit.

In fact, among the three people who saw that scene in the command room of the spaceship, none of them was stressed.

Thor is still actively busy in quelling the rebellion of the Nine Kingdoms. Although it is his own responsibility, what he really thinks in his heart is to restore peace to the entire Nine Kingdoms before Thanos strikes, so as to avoid restraining him at that time While experiencing, I was able to concentrate all my strength to fight against Thanos.

Not to mention Stark, just looking at Thanos, the mental pressure brought to him is already unbearable, coupled with his own physical condition, as long as he pushes outside, Then his whole body is likely to collapse immediately.

Zhou Yang might be a little better. The first time he saw Thanos, he destroyed the communication system of the Kirita starship without hesitation, and completely severed the connection between the spacecraft and Thanos. His fear came from This is evident.

However, although they are all fears, they are completely different from each other. Zhou Yang knows very well that even in the original time and space, Thanos successfully snapped his fingers, but in the end he was successfully defeated by the backlash of the infinite gems. Killed.

This universe is in balance, as much force as you exert will affect you. Thanos destroyed half of the population of the entire universe with the help of the power of the infinite stones. This force also acts on himself. , causing him to be beheaded by Thor very easily afterwards.

The other is Stark. Stark finally succeeded in using the Infinity Stone to destroy Thanos and his dark sect, but he himself collapsed and died because of the backlash of this force.

So Zhou Yang, who knows this, is still afraid of Thanos, but he knows that it is because his strength is not strong enough. The experience of Thanos is enough to prove what is called feng shui rotation, so the future is not so terrible, but now, now That's the scariest thing.

Now that he is weak and weak, being targeted by the extremely powerful Thanos is the most terrifying thing.

Stark didn't know this. He was worried about the night every day. Thanos suddenly led an army to kill the earth. The battle in outer space made him fully realize the position of the earth in the dark jungle of the universe. Even the Ciritas, whom the Asgardians look down on the most, have the ability to easily destroy the earth, let alone other more powerful forces in the universe.

This fear has deeply affected his current state, but for some reason, this state has become more and more serious in the past few days.

Zhou Yang didn't even dare to send Stark back to his Stark Mansion. He could only send him back to Stark's seaside villa on Long Island under the guidance of Colonel Roddy. Stark rarely went to that place, so There will be no journalists or the like sitting there preparing to secretly take pictures, and it will be relatively quiet.

Colonel Roddy left halfway, and the military obtained some clues about the whereabouts of the Mandarin. Colonel Roddy will fly to Miami immediately, and Zhou Yang will also rush there after he settles Stark.

Regarding Stark's physical condition, even if it's just a panic, even if it's just a problem that can be solved by seeing a psychiatrist, Colonel Roddy and Zhou Yang dare not hide it from Pepper. Stark is unwilling to let Pepper know, but The two of them can't.

They couldn't take care of Stark all the time, and apart from Jarvis, the only one who could take care of him was Pepper.

I'm fine, I'm fine, Stark showed his neat teeth while showing what he was fiddling with, he smiled and said to Pepper on the video call that he was fine, but Pepper still said She wants to come over immediately.

Stark is really busy, both Zhou Yang and Colonel Roddy have been involved in the incident of the Mandarin, Zhou Yang can say that his own strength is enough to ensure that he can deal with all the crises, but Colonel Roddy is not Similarly, although he and he also have a piece of steel armor, their intrinsic bodies are weak, which is the biggest problem for the two of them.

When Stark first became Iron Man, he suffered the most assassinations, so in the end he made the Iron Armor portable, and the further back, the faster and more convenient it is to put on the Iron Armor. In the end, it even directly turned into nanoparticles and hid in his body.

"I've sorted out the information on the Mandarin, gentlemen. It's from SHIELD, the FBI, and the Interception Division of the CIA, and now I'm reconstructing the virtual crime scene based on these materials." That's all Jarvis' ability is. , Although S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, and the CIA Intercept Service communicate with each other in terms of intelligence, there are some important things that are still ignored because of their different focuses, but this is not the case here with Jarvis.

It is very methodical that the terrorist attacks of the whole world that will occur are presented on the 3D map according to the time and place.

"His name comes from an ancient Chinese war strategist, which means the emperor's advisor. He is familiar with South American judgment strategies, speaks like a Baptist missionary, and has extensive influence in South America and the Middle East." Jarvis integrated from Information about Mandarin obtained from various sources.

After hearing what Jarvis said, Stark turned his head to look at Zhou Yang: "Zhou, you are also of Chinese descent, what do you think of this person?"

"There are rumors that the Mandarin was a certain powerful warlord in ancient China, and even almost ruled the whole country, but he took the initiative to retreat at the peak of his power, retreated behind the scenes, and finally quietly left the country. The stage of history disappears.

Although this is similar to some figures in history, in fact it is all just made up.

The only real person who can be verified in history is the county magistrate of a backward county in a remote mountainous area.

It's just because someone went there to preach, so his image was used by others. As for what the real Mandarin looks like, I'm afraid it's hard to tell. He hides very deeply, and there has been no trace of him for decades. Yes, but it happens to come out in such a high-profile way now, heh! "

Zhou Yang sneered and shook his head. It was the time when the limelight was in full swing. Otherwise, if the fake Mandarin didn't need federal agents to take action, the real Mandarin would get rid of him, and he would die a miserable death.

"You mean someone is using this identity to cheat." Stark understood immediately, but in the end he waved his hand and said: "No matter what is behind this scene, now this Mandarin jumped out, so there is no People can ignore his existence, and with his current behavior, his terrorist attacks will come to the mainland of the United States sooner or later, and we must completely solve him before that day."

This sentence is true, no matter whether this Mandarin is real or not, people from all aspects will not let him go, even Killian who used him is the same. After he achieves his goal, he will The very law firm decisively eliminated this fake Mandarin, and might even use him as a close step to win the favor of the US government and world public opinion.

"The explosion generated more than 3000 degrees Celsius of heat, and objects within 12.5 yards would instantly gasify, but no bomb fragments were found within a radius of several kilometers." Jarvis listed the same factors for all attacks, and Stark After a little contemplation, I immediately grasped the clue: "Display the image map of the world's heat sources in the last year, and discard the ones below 3000 degrees Celsius."

More than a dozen heat source imaging columns immediately appeared on the world map projection, and Stark's face was gloomy and terrifying for a while, and he followed up and said: "Aside from the known locations that the Mandarin attacked, there are still sources that can be determined." imaging column."

In the end, under Stark's operation, a total of five thermal imaging columns of unknown origin with a temperature of more than 3000 degrees remained, and then analyzed the common points between them and the Mandarin attack, and finally he determined the reason why this happened in the first place. Location.

"Tennessee, Rose Mountain, that's it." Stark pointed out the location there with certainty.

"Are you sure it's there?" Zhou Yang saw that Stark was done, and walked over from the side. At the same time, Jarvis had already revealed all the information about the bombing case.

"That predated any known attack on the Mandarin. It was believed to be a suicide bombing. The murdered man was a soldier, a disabled soldier returning from serving in Afghanistan." Jarvis's voice He was very surprised, but he had to continue: "The heat source signal is 10 points similar, 3000°C, and no related explosives can be found at the same time."

"Soldier, all the attacks are related to soldiers." Zhou Yang looked at Stark in "surprise", and Stark looked calm all over, he had already discovered it.

"Zhou, have you ever been to Tennessee?" Stark smiled, turned his head and said loudly: "Jarvis, make a flight plan to Tennessee..."

"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang, and a black car appeared at the door of the seaside villa. A person poked his head out to look, but quickly got back into the car, Stark frowned. When he got up, he kind of recognized the person.

A moment later, a very heroic young woman appeared outside the living room of the villa. She knocked hard on the glass door, and the glass door opened automatically. Then, 3D light scanning established the whole body of the young woman. Everywhere, after confirming that there is no danger, she is allowed to move on.

A silver steel armor appeared in front of the visitor: "Please stand there and show your identity."

As soon as this sentence came out, the woman immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise, and finally said with a wry smile: "You don't remember me, why am I not surprised at all."

"Please don't take it to heart, I don't even remember what I had for breakfast." Stark looked at the person with a calm expression.

The woman's complexion was already very ugly, but she still insisted on saying: "Listen, I have something to talk to you alone, can you stay here? It's something very urgent."

"Under normal circumstances, I would not refuse this kind of thing, but now I have a formal girlfriend." Stark looked behind the visitor, who was standing outside the door a little coldly. chili.

The woman was also very surprised by the sudden appearance of Pepper. There is no doubt that Pepper and her came back together, but she didn't notice the trace of Pepper at all, perhaps because his mind was on other things. Let's go.

Little Pepper pushed open the door, looked at the visiting woman with a gentle face and asked Stark, "Tony, won't you introduce the guest for me?"

"Okay, okay, this is Maya Hansen, an old botanist friend, and I'm not very familiar with it." Stark quickly hugged Pepper, and Maya Hansen's face was already on the side. With a surprised smile, he still remembered her.

Asura field, Zhou Yang, who was standing under the shadow on one side, looked at the scene in front of him with great interest. His old lover from more than ten years ago and his current girlfriend, the tragic Shura field, was so interesting.

But behind this Shura field, there is a deadly murderous intent.
