Kyle dropped straight from twenty meters above, landing with a slight crouch to absorb the impact. Still, his extraordinary weight caused the sturdy roof to crack, sending shards and dust flying in all directions.
Peter’s body began to tremble as he saw this scene.
They were fighting two against one.
They clearly had the advantage, but the man in front of them defied logic. After all, he was known for taking on nations single-handedly during World War II.
This was a legend!
“Mr. Stark, what do we do now…”
Peter’s voice trembled with fear and excitement. The hairs on his arms stood on end, and his spider senses had been on high alert since the beginning.
He could feel the huge gap between them – not only in physique and abilities, but also in combat experience and techniques. They were on completely different levels.
How could someone from an era without war compare to a man who ended world wars? Kyle’s combat awareness and experience had been honed through countless brutal battles.
Slap!
An Iron Man hand slapped Peter’s back, snapping him out of his self-doubt.
Tony said to Peter, “Peter, you said you wanted to be a superhero. Are you going to back out now?”
“I-I won’t!” Peter took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and focused on Kyle again.
“That’s the spirit.”
Tony smiled and looked at Kyle in the distance and sighed, “It’s not just you. Any hero who faces Godfather will have his self-esteem shattered and fall into self-doubt. Godfather’s brilliance is blinding, and compared to it, our own talents seem insignificant.”
Peter asked in surprise, “Mr. Stark, how did you overcome this?”
“It’s simple. Don’t forget your own unique abilities and shining points. Keep your confidence…”
Tony’s lengthy advice was absorbed by Peter as if it were scripture, until Tony concluded, “Most importantly, don’t compare yourself to Godfather. Just think of him as a unique exception on earth.
Peter: “…”
Tony leaned in and whispered, “All right, kid. We need to discuss our strategy for the next part of this fight.”
Kyle, who watched the two whispering, didn’t interfere. He just waited until they were done talking before he calmly asked, “Shall we continue?”
“Continue!”
Tony made a small gesture forward, signaling an attack. Spider-Man Peter immediately charged Kyle while Tony activated his engines and took to the skies.
Attacking again? And opting for hand-to-hand combat?
Kyle’s eyes reflected the approaching Peter. It was unclear whether Peter was confident or foolish, but Kyle had no reason to back down from hand-to-hand combat.
So Kyle also began to sprint, charging toward Peter. He threw a straight punch aimed at Peter’s chest. Peter’s eyes shifted as he stretched out his hands, seemingly to catch Kyle’s punch, but then he pulled his hands back in mid-stride and performed an aerial somersault over Kyle’s head.
“Hmm?”
Kyle’s missed punch made him turn to chase after the agile Peter, but then he heard the roar of engines from behind.
Without thinking, Kyle spun and threw a punch that collided with Tony’s jet-propelled iron fist. Sparks flew and the impact created a wave of energy and wind.
“Tony, are you trying hand-to-hand now?” Kyle asked, looking at the glowing Iron Man mask.
“No, I am not.”
Tony didn’t linger. After getting Kyle’s attention, he quickly activated the repulsors in his palms and pushed away from Kyle.
Kyle’s instincts kicked in, reminding him of Spider-Man’s presence behind him. Before he could react, two sticky webs shot out at his feet, pinning him to the ground.
“Mr. Kyle, I got you this time!”
Peter, still cautious, kept firing webs from his right web-shooter until Kyle’s feet were pinned firmly to the ground.
Kyle tried to use his legs but found that using a tenth of his strength was not enough to break free from the many layers of elastic spider webs. He was effectively immobilized.
“Godfather, there’s no way you can escape now!”
Tony’s voice rang out again from the front. Kyle looked up to see Tony ten feet away with his arms raised. From his shoulders, arms, wrists, and palms, every weapon capable of firing was activated, all aimed at Kyle, who was trapped and unable to move.
“Game over!”
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh-
Like a military unit firing simultaneously, countless small missiles and laser beams shot at Kyle.
In a split second.
Kyle suddenly spread his arms wide. To the astonishment of Tony and Peter, the small missiles and laser beams, only five meters from Kyle, seemed to be deflected by an irresistible force, veering off course and missing their target.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The projectiles exploded in the air outside the roof in a dazzling display of fireworks.
“What just happened?” Peter asked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“Godfather, are you cheating?” Tony asked, a hint of frustration in his voice.
Kyle smiled but said nothing.
Watching from the sidelines, Raina beamed and explained, “Force field manipulation. Being able to control force fields to some degree is not a power the boss uses often, so it’s normal that you didn’t know.”
“Are you kidding me?” Peter slumped on the roof, looking thoroughly dejected.
Tony, also at a loss, called out, “Godfather, how many abilities do you have?”
“There are more, though some I can’t use right now.”
Kyle manipulated the force field with his hands, using it along with his physical strength to pull his feet out of the webs.
“Your coordination was good just now. Peter focused on movement control while Tony provided the firepower. You played to your strengths. If your opponent wasn’t me, you might have been successful.”
Kyle looked at Tony and then at Peter. “So, do you want to continue?”
“Mr. Kyle, spare me. I’m just a kid.” Peter, feeling exhausted, lay down on the roof.
“Spare me too.” Tony raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
“All right then.”
Kyle thought that was enough for now, at least it had been a good warm-up. He turned to Peter first, “Kid, you need to work on your fighting techniques. In the future, spend more time at SHIELD headquarters and let Steve and Natasha train you.”
Peter nodded eagerly, thrilled at the prospect of receiving instruction from such heroes.
Kyle then turned to Tony and said calmly, “As for you, Tony, the firepower of your Iron Man armor is still not strong enough. If your firepower had been stronger at the end, I wouldn’t have been able to parry your attacks.”
“I understand.”
Tony nodded slightly, making a crucial decision in his heart at that moment.
It was time to begin the Ultron Project!
