Three days had passed.
During these days, Kyle had been staying temporarily at Tony’s mansion. Tony, busy designing and manufacturing the Iron Man suit, didn’t have time to discuss the 100 Billion Dollar debt issue.
Surprisingly, he had also accepted Kyle living in his house without much fuss. Tony even ordered takeout and made sure J.A.R.V.I.S placed orders for two portions, all on his own.
Kyle hadn’t pushed for the debt repayment either. Occasionally, he would venture out into the streets of New York, adapting to the new era of the 21st century.
It was as if they had silently agreed to live together without much fuss.
When Pepper Potts came to the mansion and discovered this situation, she was genuinely shocked and amazed. The playboy Tony Stark was holed up at home, actually working diligently, and he was allowing people, except for women, to come and go freely.
Of course, once Pepper knew that the other person was Mr. Carl, her surprise lessened considerably.
From the moment she laid eyes on the young man named ‘Mr. Carl,’ she felt a sense of mystery and closeness with the man.
Pepper arrived at the mansion, at Tony’s request, to replace the energy core inside his chest. After doing so, she left once again.
Meanwhile, Tony toiled away in the basement of the mansion, working even harder on constructing the Iron Man suit. After several days of continuous testing of energy emission, flight control, and Iron Man’s exoskeleton, the initial Mark II battle suit had finally taken shape.
Kyle wasn’t idle either. While keeping an eye on Tony’s progress in making the Iron Man suit, he also had Vis search the internet for essential and refined information to fill the gaps in his knowledge of Earth’s events over the past sixty-three years.
Among the information, a few pieces caught Kyle’s attention:
1. In 1985, near the mountains beside Mount Fuji in Imperial Japan, a gigantic extraterrestrial monster resembling a lizard, known as “Godzilla,” appeared. It walked on two legs, and the media speculated it was a lizard mutated by nuclear radiation. Imperial Japan launched an armed operation to suppress it. After passing through and destroying four small cities, Godzilla disappeared into the vast sea. Despite efforts from various forces and scientists, it remained elusive.
2. From the end of World War II to 2000, a certain area in the Atlantic Ocean became a new Bermuda Triangle. Many fishermen mistakenly entered it and reported seeing waterspouts, volcanic islands, and even faint traces of flying-type monsters and dinosaurs. Those who ventured deeper into the area never returned. However, after 2000, researchers used various automated reconnaissance drones and satellites to investigate, finding that the area within a radius of thirty kilometers was completely devoid of anything unusual.
And there was more, including Professor Banner’s disappearance for four years, sightings of an invisible person captured on street cameras, the retrieval of a frozen fighter jet from the depths of the Atlantic, and mysterious robed figures engaging in street fights before disappearing into thin air.
All these incidents seemed like preludes, indicating that times were changing. After being frozen and dormant for over half a century, the era, both the best and the worst, was about to return!
All the forgotten, unknown, and strange things would soon resurge in an explosive fashion!
It was once again the era that forged Heroes, the darkest and most chaotic, but also the time when some would shine brightly, piercing through the darkness like a beacon.
Kyle was well aware of this. After all, he had been the light in the previous dark era!
Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to be too confident about smoothly navigating the 21st century. The battles and enemies he was about to face were on a different scale. Compared to the difficulty of World War II, it was like the difference between a beginner and a master.
“Fortunately, I’ve achieved Godhood. Otherwise, with my original Super Soldier Physique, I’d have been at the bottom of the pecking order,” Kyle thought as he sat in his computer chair, pondering.
Suddenly, Vis issued a prompt.
He followed the gaze towards the computer screen and saw that Tony had put on the Mark II Iron Man suit that had just been rushed into production. The palms and soles of his feet emitted dazzling light, spewing laser flames, propelling him at high speed through the underground garage’s passage, leading to the outside world.
“This guy, he’s certainly inherited Howard’s intelligence, but he’s a bit too easily carried away and lacks some composure,” Kyle shook his head while sighing. He decisively opened the French window in the guest room and leaped out from the mansion’s second floor.
In mid-air, Kyle’s body rapidly generated a dark, lifeform-like horn membrane, covering his entire body, forming a tall and robust demon-like figure. Behind him, his wings unfolded, bearing the intricate pattern of dragon scales.
With a powerful flap of his wings, Kyle shot upwards, lowering the shrubs and trees in the garden as the hurricane-like gusts blew. He soared into the night sky, hidden amidst the darkness, chasing after the Iron Man with its radiant engines.
Venom, full coverage, activate flight mode!
Since the last time, after merging with the extraterrestrial lifeform resembling a black dragon on the ancient battlefield, Venom’s gliding ability has evolved into high-speed flight!
It could be said that Kyle, in his full Venom-covered form, was now more versatile than the Iron Man suit combined with Vis. In terms of combat capability, he was second only to his Godlike Fire God form with all its powers unleashed.
As powerful as the Fire God form was, he lacked a Divine Weapon and had a rather one-dimensional combat style, and couldn’t freely fly, which was a significant limitation.
Venom’s full coverage and the Fire God’s powers couldn’t coexist. Why? Well, Venom had a fear of fire. A little slip-up where he didn’t incinerate the enemy but ended up getting burned himself would be rather awkward.
In the skies over New York City, Tony, clad in the Iron Man suit, was playfully flying in circles. Behind him, an imperceptible black shadow trailed closely, never falling behind, whether at the speed of sound or supersonic.
Tony was lost in the exhilaration of flight when suddenly he shot straight up into the night sky. Extending his limbs parallel to his body, he ascended at a pace resembling a miniature rocket.
“Phew…” Kyle came to an abrupt halt in mid-air. The night wind tousled his silver hair, and his demonic wings gently quivered. He gazed upward at the ascending Iron Man but made no effort to catch up.
Transformed into a wristwatch on his wrist, Vis asked with curiosity, “Master, why aren’t we continuing to follow him?”
“No need; he’ll be back down soon,” Kyle replied casually, for some reason.
After a while, the Iron Man, with its golden-red paint shell frost-covered and its engines on fire plummeted from the sky. Tony’s elongated wail could still be faintly heard in the air.
“See, there he goes,” Kyle said with a nonchalant smile on his face. His golden eyes blinked past the scorching flames, and he activated his stealth skill to approach. The black horn membrane on his left palm was rolled back to his forearm in advance.
“J.A.R.V.I.S, get rid of the ice on the armor quickly! J.A.R.V.I.S, are you there?!”
As the powerless Iron Man suit fell, rapidly nearing the bustling streets below, Tony urgently shouted, fumbling with the buttons on the suit’s exterior.
Suddenly, a strange hot wind swept in from the side. The frost on Iron Man’s shell melted at a speed visible to the naked eye as if it had encountered a mortal enemy.
Tony widened his eyes in astonishment. The frost dissolved, the engines abruptly restarted, and Iron Man came to a screeching halt in mid-air.
He looked around, scanning the surroundings with the suit’s auxiliary scanning equipment. The high-altitude space within three hundred meters was empty as if the moment before had been a mere illusion.
“J.A.R.V.I.S, did you detect anything unusual just now?” Tony asked with a furrowed brow.
“Sir, the Iron Man suit was frozen and malfunctioned just now. I did not detect anything,” J.A.R.V.I.S. replied with a kindly lie that sounded even more natural.
Just above Iron Man’s head, hovering fifty meters away, Kyle was suspended in mid-air. The golden flames on his left palm dissipated.
Kyle gazed down indifferently, muttering softly to himself, “Grow up quickly, Iron Man. I’ll need your help in the battles to come.”
