Chapter 313

A fairly thick pillar of light surged toward Iron Man, seeming about to swallow him whole.

Media photographers in the distance broadcast this scene to the world, and everyone wailed, thinking Iron Man was about to perish.

At the critical moment, the unstable alien energy suddenly erupted, unleashing a pillar of light even more powerful than dragon breath!

The two sides formed a scene common in anime—a beam clash!

Since ancient times, the one on the left in a beam clash loses!

The powerful alien energy reached critical mass and erupted a second time, blasting the dragon breath back into the Extraordinary Dragon's mouth!

Under the live broadcast of the cameras and the witness of the world,

amid the held breath of every audience member in the theater,

to the lyrics "You've been... Thunderstruck" from the song *Thunderstruck*,

the shockwave exploded violently inside the Extraordinary Dragon!!

Boom!

The terrifying shockwave tore the Extraordinary Dragon apart,

and Tony Stark, drained of all energy, plummeted once more!

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, War Machine Luo Di used his remaining energy to leap high and catch Tony,

and the two crashed into the rubble with a "boom"—luckily, nothing serious happened.

"Next time, remember to save a little energy."

Luo Di quipped.

"Yeah yeah yeah..." Tony Stark replied impatiently, "Shut up and let my ears have some peace."【】

The third act's climax of the film ended, finally entering the epilogue.

The audience in the theater could finally breathe again, but had yet to recover from the shock of the earlier grand spectacle.

Even Xu Can was a bit surprised,

with the boost of the IMAX giant-screen special effects, the visual effects of the final battle with the Extraordinary Dragon in the new *Iron Man 2* were truly maxed out!

Even clearly surpassing *The Hobbit 2: The Battle of Smaug*,

the oppressive presence of the Extraordinary Dragon truly surpassed Smaug from *Lord of the Rings*,

in a desperate situation, Tony, relying on calm and wisdom, ultimately defeated such an invincible enemy.

Making the new version's boss battle elevated by more than one order of magnitude over the original!

The final wrap-up was similar to the original,

Pepper, face full of worry, took a helicopter over despite the danger, and embraced Tony.

"I quit, you be the CEO, and stop going out on adventures!"

"I understand, but I can't..."

Tony forcefully shut Pepper's mouth.

As a result, Luo Di sat right beside them, eating melon and quipping.

"You two are like seals fighting over a grape..."

"Get lost, now."

"I got here 210 first, you two find somewhere else... forget it, lend me the suit for a couple of days."

War Machine flew away from the scene.

With a cut of the camera, Tony Stark was already studying the Shijie Gang's files on a holographic screen.

Regarding alien technology, regarding the Extraordinary Dragon—these were all mysteries.

Nick Fury burst in and gave him some other files.

"The Shijie Gang can wait, look at these first..."

"You really have no manners—don't you know to ring the doorbell?" Tony helplessly opened the files.

【Preliminary Report of the Chouzhelian Alliance】

"I have no interest in joining some pop boy band."

"Your personality is too terrible, and you have self-destructive tendencies—we have no interest either, we just want to invite you as a consultant."

Tony and Nick Fury shook hands.

"You guys can't afford me... but I have a request."

In the end, the congressman who had clashed with Tony presented Tony and Luo Di with medals and rewards.

To the rock music of *Highway to Hell*, the film ended!

A popcorn movie of outstanding quality, with not much depth, but full of fun, maxed-out special effects, and thrilling tension,

the entire audience burst into enthusiastic applause the very first moment!

The intensity of this applause even surpassed that of *The Dark Knight* back then.

After all, people are lazy—ordinary American folks with low cultural literacy just like this kind of direct, simple story.

If it feels good, that's enough—what do you need depth for?

*Iron Man 2: The Extraordinary Dragon* is a brand-new upgrade in feel-good thrills, another step up from *Iron Man 1*!

【Producer: Xu Can】

【Screenwriter: Xu Can】

Seeing this name in the end credits, everyone felt it was perfectly normal.

Movies produced by Xu Can are as always reassuring!

As always, they bring surprises!

The entire audience, in high spirits, waited for the credits to finish rolling, and voluntarily sat down to keep quiet.

Sure enough, not letting the crowd down, a post-credits scene appeared.

The first post-credits scene was inside Shijie Gang, where a subordinate was reporting the situation,

an overwhelmingly oppressive back stood in the darkness without speaking, without any sign of life, merely nodding faintly.

"Tony Stark is quite a figure, but unfortunately… we have reasons we cannot avoid for getting rid of him."

What came out was actually flawless, perfectly pronounced Mandarin Chinese!

The camera didn't show the front, only a close-up of the hands!

Ten gleaming rings!

Shijie Gang, the Mandarin!

The second post-credits scene, meanwhile, featured S. H. I. E. L. D. Agent Coulson.

He looked at a massive crater in the distance, reporting to Nick Fury.

"Yeah, I found it."

The camera zoomed in, and inside the crater was actually a hammer of plain, archaic design!

The footage cut off abruptly here!

The fans at the scene got excited again, cheering and applauding one after another!

The Mandarin and Lei Shen!

Even the post-credits scenes of Xu Can's film are this brilliant!.
