Whiplash, despite enduring such a massive attack, remained stubbornly conscious. He was apprehended by local police, his hands restrained, and followed behind the crowd.
"Hahaha!" He laughed maniacally, a touch of bleakness in his smile. He forcefully spat out the blood in his mouth, revealing he was seriously injured in the preceding battle. "Tony Stark! You lost! Hahaha!"
"Put him down!" Tony stopped those around him who intended to continue walking, instantly silencing the noisy Media. It seemed no one anticipated he would take such action at this moment.
Whiplash looked somewhat astonished as the people supporting him set him down. The Reactor on his chest had been removed, and his two Electric Whips had already been disarmed long ago.
"Without Iron Armor, you are nothing!" Whiplash declared, even after enduring such a devastating blow, he still possessed the strength to stand. "You are thieves! You and your Family are all thieves!"
Tony shook his head. "The only person besides myself capable of creating a Reactor is likely Anton Vanko, the one my father drove away years ago."
Even after this assault, he remained unexpectedly lucid. Compared to the madness before death depicted in the Original Story, he displayed significantly more patience and self-assurance.
"Hehehe!" Whiplash shook his head. "My arrival will plunge you into the abyss of the World!"
Tony casually slipped his hands into his suit pockets and said indifferently, "The only way this World falls into the abyss is if I push it in!"
"I'm waiting for you to die from palladium poisoning!" He revealed his trump card.
"Although I have to drink Milk every month for Detoxification, I still want to say, you'll be disappointed."
Tony walked up to him with ease and punched him in the Stomach.
Despite his slender frame and weak Physique, he sent this seemingly robust Russian giant sprawling to the ground with a single punch, unable to rise.
"What you got wrong... was treating Life as a joke!" Tony gave him one final look before slowly getting into the Car and leaving.
"This Friend of yours is rather interesting!" Ye Fan remarked, a glimmer of interest in his eyes.
Fang Bie nodded. "Indeed, he is quite interesting, but I hope you can tolerate his abrasive personality!"
The Motorcade continued forward, leaving the earlier commotion behind, but it couldn't contain the massive public outcry that was already reaching a fever pitch.
Fang Bie's Attention was primarily focused on the individuals around him. He couldn't afford to be careless; these people were essentially walking Nuclear Bombs. If anything went wrong, they could very well overturn this Earth.
Although the peak Combat Power within the Marvel Universe is said to be immense, on this Earth, where Supernatural Power is still nascent, all the special forces combined likely wouldn't be enough to contend with these four.
After evading the bothersome Media, Fang Bie and Tony got out of the car along with the others. Little Pepper returned to the Company to handle the fallout from this incident, while Happy continued onwards with the Motorcade, creating the illusion that Tony was still en route home.
After a burst of sparks, the familiar Villa appeared before them, and Tony, just as when they first met, opened his arms wide.
"Welcome to the City of Freedom! Cheer, Friends, this is the most sci-fi place in all of America!"
"Can't you ever be serious?" Fang Bie rolled his eyes and walked into the Villa first. "It's been a while, this place seems a little different than before?"
Only then did Tony realize someone was missing. "Where's Ethan?"
Fang Bie raised a piece of Paper in his hand. Since the MC World had virtually destroyed all High Technology, their usual communication was primarily through Paper.
"Ethan said he was going to track down those individuals to investigate the Use Situation of the Potion and told us not to worry about him."
"He's concocting some strange Medicinal Liquid again." Tony muttered casually, glancing at the four people standing in front of the Villa before whispering into Fang Bie's ear.
"Where did you find these people? That Old Man, I feel Terror just standing next to him, almost like Xiao Yan's master."
"You might as well just say they have excellent hearing and can hear everything you say." Fang Bie retorted. However, the four individuals standing at a distance seemed oblivious, which generally relieved Mr. Iron Man slightly.
"It's alright, it's best if they pretend not to hear. Just tell me about them first." He smoothly opened the Door of the Villa and gestured for everyone to proceed to the Living Room. "I need to arrange accommodations for them."
Fang Bie proceeded to slowly tell him about the origins of these individuals. Their Relationship naturally went without saying, and the account was quite detailed.
Pleasant music began almost the instant they entered the Living Room. Tony had already produced a bottle of fine Wine.
"You are Friends of Fang Bie, and therefore Friends of Tony. Welcome to Earth." He glanced at Ye Fan. "Our Earth."
Ye Fan nodded. "Thank you for your hospitality, but rather than this, I'd prefer to visit China in this World. I wonder if Mr. Tony would be amenable..."
"No problem at all." Tony immediately replied. "Fang Bie told me you're from another Universe's Earth. Perhaps you still harbor some sentiments for China in this spacetime. Xiao Yan has actually done this before, and I have a complete procedure."
He snapped his fingers, and a screen materialized in the Void before him. "I'll directly set your Identity as an overseas Chinese resident in America. You can take a Green Card to the current Eastern Continent and see if there's any Place you recognize."
"Wait a moment..." Fang Bie paused, then stepped forward and said, "The prerequisite is that you don't arbitrarily use your Supernatural Power, otherwise our dealings with the God Spear Bureau will become quite Troublesome."
"That's true..." Tony shook his head. "Actually, it wouldn't be too much of a Problem. I can have Fury get you out, but it's best to avoid Conflict."
"Then thank you." Ye Fan nodded sincerely. Though he couldn't return to his own Earth, this form of reminiscence would at least offer some solace to his Sentiments of longing.
"Hey, Crap Stark! I sense there's someone with immense Strength here. Call them out, I want to fight them!" Tong Xuan, still in human form, yet with his Monkey nature irrepressible, called out to Tony.
"My name is Stark!" Tony said, his face darkening, though he didn't intend to argue further with this naturally mischievous Monkey. "You'll meet them later. Right now, wouldn't you like to try this Liquor?"
"Mortal Food... Indeed, it's been quite a while since I've tried any." A hint of reminiscence crossed Li Ruoyu's Face, but he quickly shook it off and cheerfully picked up a glass of Liquor.
The Old Man possessed a Mentality of treating life as a game. Though he held a deep curiosity about this World, his Feelings were distinctly different from the others.
"I also sense a peculiar Physique. The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art seems to desire to devour it!" Fang Bie was taken aback. It truly was a Demonic and Terror-inducing Cultivation Method. Even across Universes, it retained such potent sensing Ability.
