Heroes of Marvel
chapter-1107

Swish!

Just as Lin Rui lunged towards Jack, a dark figure plummeted from above, crashing into the ground right in front of Lin Rui. With a loud thud, Loki raised an eyebrow in surprise as the object that had fallen from the sky turned out to be a metal plate.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Upon impact with the ground before Lin Rui, the red metallic piece emitted a series of rapid mechanical sounds from its interior.

Subsequently, the half-human-tall metal structure began to morph, rapidly enlarging and forming into a semicircular shield that completely shielded Lin Rui and Jack from behind.

From the moment the metal plate struck down to its transformation into a protective shape, only a couple of seconds had passed. Loki, who had been standing before Lin Rui, was still and seemed taken aback by the unexpected development.

However, as the shield came between Lin Rui, Jack, and him, Loki suddenly detected a swift rushing sound from behind him.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Hearing the commotion behind him, Loki calmly turned around. In the next instant, he witnessed dozens of dark dots descending rapidly from the sky toward him.

These dots were none other than Stark’s micro-missiles, known for their rapid attack speed and significant firepower.

Hu!

Facing the onslaught of these dozens of micro-missiles, Loki didn’t attempt to dodge. Instead, his gaze turned icy as he gripped his staff forcefully and swept it forward. With a wave of his staff, a surge of magical energy shot forth, targeting the approaching missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Though Loki’s reaction was swift, the micro-missiles were even faster. Consequently, when Loki’s magical shockwave extended, the missiles had already reached him.

Explosions erupted in front of him, generating intense bursts of fiery light. For a moment, the powerful blaze enveloped Loki, along with Lin Rui and Jack, sheltered behind the metallic shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thunk! Thunk!

Following the explosion’s aftermath, aside from the resounding explosions, a continuous series of metallic impacts could be heard. It was as if something hard was striking against the metal plate.

Evidently, the metal plate that had been positioned in front of Lin Rui and Jack to shield them was now absorbing the impact of the explosions. However, it remained uncertain how well Loki, who lacked significant protection, would fare against this pure firepower onslaught.

Rumble! Rumble!

The explosions persisted, and the barrage of micro-missiles descending from the sky showed no sign of abating. In reality, from Loki’s sudden appearance before Lin Rui to the missiles’ abrupt attack on him, mere seconds had transpired.

Consequently, by the time the blast’s impact had spread across the entirety of the pit’s bottom, Thor, who had previously been concerned for Lin Rui and the others, was now left staring in bewilderment.

Whoosh!

Just as Thor gazed at the sudden explosion before him, a small metal fragment zoomed out from the blast’s epicenter, narrowly brushing against Thor’s arm as it flew past.

Although the fragment didn’t directly hit Thor, the high speed and the intense heat generated by the explosion caused a sharp sensation against his arm.

“Loki!… Jackson!… What’s going on?!” Startled by the stinging sensation on his arm, Thor snapped out of his stupor and looked at the blaze ahead, calling out in shock. He couldn’t comprehend who would suddenly launch an attack on Loki and Jackson.

From Thor’s perspective, he hadn’t initially noticed the metal plate that shielded Lin Rui and Jack before the missile onslaught.

While the barrage of missiles had indeed engulfed Lin Rui and Jack, the protective presence of the metal plate likely ensured their safety. Therefore, this attack seemed to be targeting Loki.

Hu~

Just as Thor was taken aback by the missile assault, a shadow suddenly cast over his head. Previously, Thor and the others had been situated within the pit they had created while battling Lin Rui.

Given that there was limited sunlight in the pit, this sudden shadow further diminished the already faint sunlight. If not for the blinding light produced by the explosions in the distance, the shadow above Thor would have contributed to an even dimmer environment.

As the shadow descended upon him, Thor abruptly looked upwards. His eyes widened in astonishment, his initial surprise transforming into a mixture of astonishment and gradual realization.

The colossal object casting a shadow on Thor’s head was none other than a towering Iron Man suit, standing almost as tall as a two-story building!

Having been launched from a low Earth orbit satellite, this massive Iron Man suit had managed to reach the battlefield in record time. It took action against Loki before he could act against Lin Rui.

Furthermore, under Tony’s command, the suit immediately launched a powerful missile barrage. With the protection of the sturdy metal shield, Tony ensured that Lin Rui, Jack, and themselves would remain unharmed during this round of missile strikes.

Hu~

Although the giant Iron Man suit might have appeared somewhat bulky, Tony’s research into micro Arc Reactors and the new lifeform energy had endowed the hulking frame with exceptional agility even after assembly.

By maintaining the flexibility and speed of a standard Iron Man suit while significantly enhancing strength, defense, and firepower capabilities, this massive Iron Man suit had undoubtedly undergone multiple levels of upgrade.

It’s worth noting that Tony’s initial purpose in designing this colossal Iron Man suit was to counter extraterrestrial civilizations beyond Earth and to deal with the unpredictable Hulk, who had been incorporated into SHIELD and had the potential to wreak havoc worldwide.

Therefore, without a considerable degree of power, Tony wouldn’t have dispatched it to space. After all, this marked a specialized upgrade direction for Tony’s Iron Man technology.

“This!… Could it be Tony’s Iron Man suit?!” Gazing at the gigantic Iron Man suit hovering above his head, Thor muttered to himself in amazement. Judging from its appearance, Thor had little trouble deducing the connection between this massive Iron Man suit and the original Iron Man suit.

Rumble! Rumble!

Thud!

Just as Thor was astonished by the sudden appearance of the massive Iron Man suit above him, a deafening boom resonated from within the explosion-ridden area ahead.

Subsequently, the intense fiery light that had enveloped the region seemed to inflate from within, rapidly expanding outward. The intense flames quickly swept across the entire pit’s bottom.

Hu~

As the flames approached, Thor’s gaze sharpened. Arcs of electricity crackled around his body. When the flames reached him, the arcs of electricity naturally formed a protective barrier, shielding Thor from the fiery onslaught.
