Chapter 329: Nika Tony vs. Thanos

Virtual Arena.

Tony and Thanos stare at each other.

The two of them are like fated rivals.

At the mere thought that there is a possibility he might die in the future because of that purple potato monster Thanos, Tony is extremely angry inside.

This is also the reason for the duel!

Outside the Arena, everyone watches this duel with great interest; although it might not be as grand as the previous battles between big shots, they figure there should be some interesting aspects to it.

"Say, between Tony and Thanos, who do you think will win?" Ye Fan asks.

"I don't know, this Sword Immortal doesn't understand their system very well," Wang Wu says.

"This Thanos wiped out half the life in the universe with a snap of his fingers, so his strength shouldn't be bad," Morgana says.

"The prerequisite for that snap was collecting the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet. This Thanos here shouldn't have them," Han Li says.

To be safe, Han Li has basically researched the worlds of all the group members.

"Even if Thanos doesn't have the gauntlet and stones, he is an alien by nature, and both his strength and his flesh are far superior to ordinary humans. According to the worldview of Tony Stark, even without the enhancement of the stones, he is still at the Sub-Heavenly Father level."

At this moment, the Old Demon King walks out and says slowly.

"That makes sense. Then wouldn't Tony be getting beaten up?" Morgana says.

"Not necessarily. Don't forget, Tony did eat a Devil Fruit, and he has been in the Chat Group for so long that he might have trump cards we don't know about," Ye Fan says.

"Let's watch. It's a virtual duel anyway, so no one will actually die," Xuanzang says.

As he finishes speaking, Tony and Thanos begin to move.

"Rubber Fist!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, Tony suddenly strikes, his armored arm stretching out and slamming into Thanos's chest before he can react.

Thanos fails to dodge in time and is knocked back several steps.

Following this, Tony utilizes the properties of rubber to strike rapidly with both fists; one can see Rubber Fist shadows filling the sky like a rainstorm.

Thanos crosses his arms in front of him, continuously enduring the barrage.

But due to his constitution, these attacks from Tony are basically no different from scraping, making it difficult to cause substantial damage.

At this moment, Thanos has no stones, no gauntlet, and is not carrying his alloy broadsword; he has only his flesh fists and a body as tough as iron.

In Thanos's settings, he possesses the stamina and strength of a Superman!

Being able to go blow-for-blow with the Hulk shows how great his strength is.

Thanos feels insulted and roars:

"Enough!"

He leaps, directly covering the distance to Tony, and slams a purple iron fist down hard.

"Third Gear!"

Tony's fist suddenly surges and expands to several zhang in length, lashing out violently.

Boom!

Thanos's iron fist and Tony's Third Gear collide, triggering a powerful shockwave that sweeps in all directions.

"What's going on? Can the Rubber Fruit be played like this?"

Outside the Arena, Ye Fan shows a look of surprise.

"How lewd," Wang Wu says.

"Indeed lewd, suddenly increasing to such a large area," Morgana shakes her head.

Bibi Dong, Yun Yun, and Yan Fei cast suspicious glances.

They feel that Morgana and Wang Wu, these two old hands, don't seem to be on the same wavelength as everyone else.

"Interesting," Houtu smiles.

Although Thanos and Tony are extremely weak in her eyes, their fighting style is novel.

Even Xuanzang feels strange. Tony is not a character from One Piece, yet he has actually developed the skills of the Rubber Fruit; he is truly worthy of being the intelligence representative of Marvel.

Indeed, Tony certainly couldn't have developed the Rubber Fruit skills on his own, nor does he have the constitution or cultivation methods from One Piece.

But he has the Chat Group. With points in the Chat Group, he can turn the impossible into the possible.

Tony used the Chat Group to look up many methods for using the Rubber Fruit and discovered that his own ability was insufficient to develop Second Gear, Third Gear, Fourth Gear, or Fifth Gear!

However, if he couldn't develop them himself, he could use external forces, such as technology!

This Nano Armor of his was manufactured by attaching itself to the properties of the Rubber Fruit.

And through constant research, he used technology to overcome the technical barriers of the Rubber Fruit.

He uses artificial intelligence and a nuclear reactor as backup energy to support the development of the Rubber Fruit!

It is said that the essence of Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, using the Rubber Fruit is also the consumption of a massive amount of energy in an instant, which then supports the transformation of the fruit.

Otherwise, Luffy wouldn't be in a state of collapse after every battle, requiring massive amounts of food to recover.

In a sense, the more the Rubber Fruit is used, the more it consumes the host's life force.

Tony treasures his life so much that he naturally wouldn't squander it.

And the energy of the reactor is sufficient to support his energy needs.

The power of Third Gear clashing with Thanos, while not gaining an advantage, gives Tony the qualifications to go head-to-head with Thanos.

"Thanos, take another move from me: Brain-Crushing Fist!"

At this moment, Tony's arms enter the Third Gear state, and two fists, several zhang in size, are brought together and slammed down hard.

Seeing the situation is bad, Thanos immediately dodges.

He is completely bewildered, truly unable to understand why Tony Stark is so flashy.

"Is this all you've got? Nothing impressive."

After successfully dodging, Thanos did not forget to mock him.

"Motherfucker!"

Tony cursed, shouting loudly:

"Thanos, today your daddy Tony is going to beat the shit out of you."

"Fifth Gear!"

As the words fell, a burst of scorching flame energy erupted from within Tony's body; yellow flames and white flames intertwined, and flame patterns emerged on the surface of Tony's armor, forming a sun motif on his chest.

And Tony's hair also turned into strands of burning fire!

"Absurd! Is this still Rubber?" Ye Fan remarked.

"Definitely not, damn it," Morgana said.

"Wow, he transformed, he transformed," Feng Baobao suddenly became excited.

"Uh... actually, the Rubber Fruit has another name, called the Nika Fruit, which can also be understood as the awakened form of the Rubber Fruit. In this form, Tony controls both Rubber and flame abilities. Moreover, this flame is not an ordinary flame, but the Sun God Fire."

Group Leader Yan Shuangying provided popular science, introducing the origin of the Nika Fruit to everyone.

However, she was also very shocked that Tony had actually succeeded in researching the Nika Fruit and had completely mastered this power.

Facing Tony in his Nika form, Thanos frowned; that flame made him feel threatened.

After all, he did not possess Superman's Steel Body, which fears neither water nor fire.

Tony "whooshed" at extreme speed, arriving in front of Thanos in an instant, and sent Thanos flying with a punch before he could react.

Thanos steadied his body and looked at his chest, where there was a slight scorch mark, feeling very annoyed.

If only he had his great machete in hand, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Tony's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected that a charged punch in this state would fail to cause substantial damage to Thanos, only scorching a bit of Flesh and Skin.

"Stark, I have to admire that you are a genius."

"How about we call this duel a draw for now?"

Thanos took a step back, not wanting to continue fighting Tony, as it held little meaning.

Tony's attack power was not very strong, but he was too troublesome, and Thanos could not deal with him in a short time.

Upon hearing this, Tony thought to himself:

"This purple potato monster is truly too tanky; if I keep fighting, my body won't be able to take it either."

Thinking of this, he said:

"Then it's a draw, Thanos. We'll fight again next time!"

"Fine."

Thanos nodded, not refusing.

If there were a next time, dealing with the flashy Tony while he was prepared would be effortless.
