Chapter 91

The four F-22 fighter pilots, seeing the target stop, were about to launch an attack when a new command suddenly came through their communication devices: "Abort the attack, return to base!"

The pilots were taken aback, but as soldiers, they followed orders without question, promptly canceling the attack and beginning their return.

In the chaotic area below.

Tony's helmet echoed with Colonel Rhodes' voice: "Tony, I've got this side covered, the rest is up to you! Be careful!"

"Don't worry! I'll beat them so badly they'll be crying for mercy!" Just as Tony boasted, he was hit with a bitter reality: Jarvis informed him that the energy of the first-generation mini-arc reactor was down to just 4%, barely enough to power the Mark III suit. As for fighting... sorry, you're dreaming!

Bai Xiaofei also noticed Tony's dire situation.

Of course, he couldn't tell how much energy Tony had left, but the smart system Bai Kas could scan it. Upon hearing Bai Kas report that Tony's energy was almost depleted, Bai Xiaofei, without a second thought, immediately opened the protective outer armor of his chest, and without hesitation, removed the third-generation mini-arc reactor that powered the skeleton and high-tech equipment.

"Tony, switch it out!"

"Huh?" Looking at the third-generation mini-arc reactor Bai Xiaofei handed over, Tony was stunned, both surprised and hesitant. In Tony's view, Bai Xiaofei was sacrificing himself to help him, and a deep sense of gratitude welled up inside him. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Bai, what about you if you give it to me?!"

Bai Xiaofei, while guarding against Obadiah and the bald leader's counterattack, said to Tony, "Don't worry! My Aries Gold Saint Cloth can still fight using the power of the magic patterns even without the mini-arc reactor!"

Afraid that Tony wouldn't believe him, Bai Xiaofei mentally commanded the 108 parts of the Saint Cloth to disconnect from the titanium-gold alloy skeleton. Then, using the dimensional space, he moved the skeleton and high-tech equipment away, while the 108 parts of the Saint Cloth quickly combined with the vibranium bodysuit he wore as undergarments.

Visibly, Bai Xiaofei's body shrank by a size.

At the same time, Jarvis scanned Bai Xiaofei's condition and reported, "Sir, according to my scan, Mr. Bai Xiaofei's armor is now just the outer shell, the skeleton and high-tech equipment have completely disappeared. There is a special magnetic field around Mr. Bai Xiaofei's body, which holds the outer shell together, likely due to the power of the magic patterns!"

"Alright!"

Seeing the two Iron Monger suits emerging from the rubble, a major battle was about to begin. Tony knew it wasn't the time to be polite, so he made a decisive decision, no longer hesitating. With a serious face, he said to Bai Xiaofei, "Bai, buy me some time, I'll change and come to help you!"

With that, he left Bai Xiaofei and flew away.

"Just two hicks, no big deal!"

Bai Xiaofei put on his mask, leaving only his eyes exposed. Honestly, he didn't take the two Iron Monger suits seriously, even though his Aries Gold Saint Cloth was no longer in its complete form. It wasn't that Bai Xiaofei looked down on the Iron Monger suits; they were just really bad!

The Iron Monger suits were a copy and improvement of the Mark I, but the people Obadiah hired were clearly not only lacking in intelligence but also in taste! The Mark I, though not as stylish as the later Mark II and Mark III, was still cute and adorable, right?

But look at the Iron Monger—what the hell is this thing? It's just plain ugly and low-class!

The exoskeleton had been turned into robotic hands, which were extremely awkward! Not only that, while the power had increased, the weaknesses were also exposed like an idiot. The Mark I's weight-bearing and power transmission systems were exposed due to the limitations of the time, but Obadiah just blindly copied it!

If there was anything good about these two suits, it was only that they were bigger! In terms of hardware, appearance, software, and flight systems, the Iron Monger was like a tractor compared to the Lamborghini and Bugatti of the Mark suits and the Aries Gold Saint Cloth, a world of difference!

Dealing with such trash, even with the Aries Gold Saint Cloth incomplete, Bai Xiaofei felt no pressure at all!

"Big baldy, you can wait and play with Tony, my target is Obadiah!" Seeing the bald leader's Iron Monger suit charging over aggressively, Bai Xiaofei didn't bother with it. He mentally activated his blood control ability, doubling his physical attributes. Then, the mental power enhancement of the Aries Gold Saint Cloth kicked in, increasing his mental power to six times its original level!

The telekinetic ability activated with over 700 points of mental power was incredibly terrifying!

One by one, cars were effortlessly thrown by Bai Xiaofei's mental control, smashing heavily into the bald leader's Iron Monger suit. Although the bald leader knew the Iron Monger's defense was extremely high and wouldn't be damaged by the cars, he didn't like being hit!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Faced with the flying cars, the bald leader either used the six-barreled missile on his left arm to blow them up, causing explosions and flames, or dodged and avoided them. Although his steps were blocked, he wasn't hurt at all. He was feeling smug and ready to taunt Bai Xiaofei when he suddenly noticed that over a hundred spinning light orbs were floating around Bai Xiaofei!

"What the hell is this?"

The bald leader only had time to ask in confusion before Bai Xiaofei shouted, "Star Dust Spin!" The over a hundred spinning light orbs, like guided cluster missiles, flew at terrifying speed and hit him!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Amidst the continuous thunderous explosions, the bald leader's Iron Monger suit was once again blasted away, this time even more violently and farther!

On this side.

Bai Xiaofei, who had blasted the bald leader's Iron Monger suit away with two moves, didn't bother to check the effectiveness of the Star Dust Spin. Obadiah, controlling the Iron Monger, emerged from the rubble at the base of the building and, without a word, launched an anti-tank rocket!

A mere rocket, Bai Xiaofei didn't care!

With a mental command, a long spear, with a distinct shape made of countless small diamond-shaped metal pieces, with fierce triangular blades and spikes at both ends, floated out of the dimensional space and landed in Bai Xiaofei's hand. Then... Bai Xiaofei bent his legs and sprang forward like a cannonball, shooting toward the incoming anti-tank rocket!

In mid-air, Bai Xiaofei's figure drew closer to the anti-tank rocket. Just as they were about to collide, Bai Xiaofei's golden wings flapped, and the anti-tank rocket was deflected, crashing into a bus and exploding with a huge bang and fierce flames!

Bai Xiaofei continued his flight toward Obadiah.

Confident in his Iron Monger suit, Obadiah, seeing Bai Xiaofei flying toward him, showed a fierce look in his eyes and, without dodging, directly controlled the Iron Monger to punch forward!

However, just as they were about to collide, Bai Xiaofei's golden wings moved again.

A huge force was generated, and while Bai Xiaofei's forward speed didn't decrease, his direction changed significantly. Instead of colliding with Obadiah's Iron Monger's fist, Bai Xiaofei's figure grazed the edge of the fist and passed by!

"Click!"

At the moment they passed each other, a sound seemed to be heard.

"Damn it!"

Failing to hit Bai Xiaofei, Obadiah was angry and tried to turn around to attack again. However, he was shocked to find that the left leg of the Iron Monger suit had become paralyzed and unresponsive, no matter how he operated it!

"What's going on?"

The system inside the Iron Monger suit was outdated and the interface was simple, but it had basic diagnostic functions. Soon, it found the problem. Obadiah clearly saw on the display that the mechanical hydraulic drive rod on the left leg of the Iron Monger had broken! The clean, smooth break indicated that it had been cut by an extremely sharp weapon!

The limbs of the Iron Monger were enhanced and controlled by mechanical hydraulic drive rods. Now that the left leg's rod was cut, it was better not to move. Although the rod was broken, it still held together, providing some support. But when he turned, the rod completely broke, and without its support, the Iron Monger lost balance, and the left leg collapsed. It was already impressive that it didn't fall over completely!

"This, this can't be!"

Obadiah was stunned, his face full of disbelief. The outer shell of the Iron Monger was made of titanium alloy, extremely sturdy, capable of withstanding bomb and missile attacks without deforming. But now, the titanium alloy drive rod had been cut! How was this possible?

"Click, click, click!"

While Obadiah was in shock, a series of crisp sounds suddenly rang out.

Then, the unfortunate Obadiah was horrified to find that not only the left leg, but also the right leg and both arms of the Iron Monger suit, had their mechanical hydraulic drive rods cut. The cuts were as clean and smooth as the left leg, as if they were not titanium alloy rods but corn or wheat stalks, easily cut in two!

Seeing his invincible Iron Monger suit, which had lost its limbs and almost all mobility, Obadiah was completely stunned.

His eyes, which had been arrogant and overbearing, were now filled with confusion and fear.

And cold sweat covered his body!

At this moment.

Bai Xiaofei, wearing the Aries Gold Saint Cloth, slowly walked up to Obadiah. The long spear in his hand was fierce and majestic, its sharp edge gleaming in the night, making Obadiah's pupils constrict and his face change dramatically: "It's you!"
