The alternative in Marvel

Sliding safely from the high platform to the ground, Stark looked at the exploding Mark 42 armor, feeling relieved and extremely sad at the same time.

With Pepper gone, Stark's spiritual support was gone. Grief coupled with an anxiety attack, he slumped to the ground with weak legs. He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out of his throat.

"It's rare to see such a defeated and decadent Stark!"

Stark, who was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, heard Adrian's sarcastic voice and jumped up from the ground. He wanted to have a real PK with the opponent. He turned around and saw Pepper being held in Adrian's arms. .

"Pe...Pe?" Stark shouted uncertainly.

"Toni?" Although Pepper woke up, the Extremis virus still made her very weak.

"Oh, my God! I thought I lost you!" Stark immediately stepped forward to take Pepper from Adrien's arms and held her tightly. Stark, who doesn't shed tears easily, had tears in his eyes. Continuously spinning.

"It was... Mr. Ghost... who saved me."

"Thank you! Really, thank you very much!" Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Stark said seriously to Adrian.

"It's really not easy to hear this thank you from you. Remember, this is the third time you owe me a favor."

"I understand! What do you want? As long as I can do it, I can satisfy you." Saving Pepper is equivalent to giving him a second life. In terms of repaying the kindness of others, Stark has no idea at all. stingy.

"I'm just waiting for your words. But before that, there is still something that needs to be done. The Desperate Virus in Ms. Pepper's body needs to be eliminated in time."

"I'll take care of it when I get back."

"No, I mean, she can't wait anymore. Didn't you notice that her temperature is getting higher and higher?"

Only then did Stark realize that, indeed, as Adrian said, Pepper's body temperature was rising, especially her abdomen and face, which had begun to show signs of redness and heat.

"What needs to be done?"

After getting drunk more than ten years ago, Stark was able to almost solve the equation of the Extremis virus. If given a period of time, he could completely eliminate the virus in Pepper's body. But the only thing missing now is time. According to Pepper's condition, she has not adapted to the Extremis virus, and her body will explode in a short time.

"Put her flat on the ground."

After saving himself and Pepper several times in a row, Stark now basically trusts Adrien.

Adrian used magic to gather the Extremis virus in Pepper's body to her wrist, and then lightly cut a wound on her wrist. The previously injected Extremis virus was easily forced out.

Adrian then integrated the virus into his body, and a red light flashed, but he did not feel any discomfort.

"Aren't you afraid that the fusion won't work and there will be an explosion?" Stark asked.

"My physique is very special, so the Extremis virus shouldn't be a problem."

"should?"

……

While Adrian and the three were chatting, Killian protected the fake Pepper and walked out of the flames.

"Stark, haven't you been looking for the Mandarin? In fact, it has always been me, I am...What?" Killian, who was not killed by the explosion, was in high spirits. He was about to fight Stark again, but he saw When he reached Pepper in the other person's arms, he looked down at Pepper in his own arms, feeling a little confused.

"Are you surprised?" Adrian asked mockingly.

Both Pepper and Stark turned to look at Adrien, knowing that this matter must be related to Adrien.

When Killian was confused, the fake Pepper in his arms suddenly woke up, inserted the three tubes of Extremis virus injections he had obtained in the room into Killian's neck, and quickly injected them into his body.

An overdose of the Extremis virus caused Killian, who was originally seriously injured, to be unable to effectively control the Extremis virus in his body. He opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire, and his whole body turned red. The red light is getting stronger and stronger, which is a sign of an uncontrolled explosion.

Stark knew the danger of the explosion, so he immediately put on one suit to protect Pepper, and then commanded Jarvis to separate two suits of armor, and deployed shield mode to protect Pepper and Adrian respectively.

Adrian ignored the danger. When the living dead body was injected with the injection, it was cut in half by Killian. It could no longer move under control. He quickly stepped forward and took the living dead body back to the space of the dead. Such a useful living dead body, he Can't bear to throw it away casually.

At this moment, an explosion occurred. Adrian was very close to Killian, almost in the center of the explosion.

The huge explosion caused Stark and Pepper to fall into a state of temporary deafness. The strong wind whipped up by the explosion rolled up the gravel on the ground and hit the surface of the steel armor, making a clanging sound. There were many scars.

"Mr. Ghost!" Pepper shouted worriedly.

Explosions come and go as quickly as they come.

Stark opened the armor's mask, and the first thing he saw was a huge crater formed by the explosion, and Adrian was standing on the edge of the crater.

"Are you ok?"

"It hurts!"

"Huh~" Stark felt relieved after hearing Adrian's answer.

"Hey, Mr. Ghost, are you okay?"

"Uh, actually... something happened."

At this time, Adrian turned around.

"Ah!" Pepper, who was already weak, was frightened by the scene in front of him and fainted.

"Holy cow!" Stark thought he had seen various scenes, but the scene in front of him still surprised him.

I saw that Adrian's front had been blown beyond recognition, his skin, muscles and even some of his internal organs were missing. Only the bones were left to support a body that could no longer be called a body.

"You're not dead, it's so..." Stark couldn't find the words to describe it.

"I didn't expect the explosion to be so powerful!"

After summoning several layers of bone armor for defense, and because his physical body was indeed strong, Adrian managed to survive. The Extremis virus integrated into his body also played a big role at the critical moment. Otherwise, he would most likely have to return to the spiritual realm after this explosion.

"You're talking..." Stark felt that Adrian was a little slurred when he spoke.

"Oh, the tongue is missing a little."

"What on earth are you?" Looking at Adrian, who was constantly repairing and regenerating, Stark asked the question in his heart.

"A man who pursues freedom."

"You know that's not what I'm asking about."

"How do you put it? Let me think about it, you know Thor is from Asgard, right?"

"know."

"I come from a similar region, a dimensional universe different from the earth."

"So, you are also a god?"

"No, we are not as arrogant and arrogant as Asgard, and we actually call ourselves gods. We prefer to call ourselves people from the spiritual realm, and I prefer others to call me Adrian."

"People who live by the sea?"

"Don't worry about this. Do you still have the ability to fight now?"

"what happened?"

"We have a new 'friend'."
