Chapter 2137

~11 min read 2,050 words

As the saying goes, all tactical maneuvers are just a way to return home; heaven knows that Natasha and Captain America's mission this time was simply to find the two Starks and negotiate, to get them to shake hands and make peace, and to resolve the trouble of the city fusion first.

And as Schiller says, when facing trouble, as long as you create a bigger trouble, the trouble is no longer trouble.

Well, now the two Starks don't need to fight over the Stark Group building anymore, because the Stark building has exploded.

The group of things hanging under the Green Goblin's glider was indeed too abstract; some might think the most lethal part was that section of the Brooklyn Bridge or the Hulk stuck on it, but in reality, physical attacks alone wouldn't be enough to shatter the Stark Group building.

The most fatal part was that group of mages.

It wasn't that this group of mages didn't want to leave; logically, they could have let go completely, but an obvious problem was that the current spellcasting environment was not very good. Under such circumstances, opening a portal could lead to who knows where, and they didn't want to go on a day trip to the sewers again.

Out of caution, the mages didn't disengage immediately, but when the "candied hawthorn" was about to hit the Stark building, they knew they had to leave.

Above and below them were iron-clad bodies; hitting the bridge above in a moment was secondary, but if the Hulk pressed down, they would truly be dead, so they had to open the portal whether they wanted to or not.

Normally, opening one would be enough, but people don't consider so much in stressful situations. More than a dozen mages used their Sling Rings together, and the hawthorn in the middle of the candied skewer suddenly turned into a bomb, directly blowing open the Stark Group building's energy-based shield.

Consequently, this series of things plunged headlong into the interior of the fragile Stark building, and it happened to hit the energy laboratory in the upper part; the scene that followed was truly more spectacular than the final battle.

And the first reaction of the two Starks who witnessed this scene was—"Pepper!!!!!!"

To be honest, when the two of them shouted this name in unison, they were both stunned.

Superior Iron Man looked complexly at the empty armor inside.

"She's fine!" said the virtual Iron Man controlling the Stark Group system: "She's on the lower level, the upper laboratory is empty, she's fine!"

Superior Iron Man didn't believe it, and at the fastest speed, he followed the glass curtain wall to find Pepper. The moment that shiny armor appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Pepper let out a scream and took a few steps back.

"Don't come over!" she shouted instinctively.

Superior Iron Man's fist tightened. After he stayed there and watched Pepper for a few seconds, he soared into the sky.

At this time, Superman had just cleared away the pile of abandoned equipment and broken walls. Saving people was one aspect, but on the other hand, he wanted to figure out what exactly had just flown over.

He first found a piece of asphalt road surface, determining that this might be part of some highway. Just when he concluded that this was already the most bizarre part, the things he dug out next made him understand what "learning has no limits" meant.

Some waste steel frames looked a bit familiar. At this time, Superman hadn't realized the severity of the matter. Next came rivets of an outrageously large model; only then did he see that these might be the wreckage of some large road engineering equipment.

Until the top of the most classic bridge pillar of the Brooklyn Bridge appeared in his field of vision, Superman understood what "absurd" meant.

But the absurd was yet to come; he actually dug out a seemingly ordinary scientist from these things, with glasses crooked to one side and clothes covered in dust, but there were no wounds on his body at all.

Then there was a pile of yellow-robed monks tied up in a twisted mess with red silk ribbons, which was truly too much to look at.

And the most terrifying part was a pair of man and woman holding each other tightly—it wasn't clear what they had done in the air, but the red-haired woman was lying on the ruins with a look of contentment, without any embarrassment of having suffered a disaster. Superman didn't dare to think deeply, nor did he dare to ask more.

Finally, a normal person was dug out, though not entirely normal. After experiencing such a severe impact, he didn't suffer any injuries and could still lie in the ruins, reach out his hand to him, and apologize.

"Sorry, strange superhero, we had a little accident." The strong man also wearing a red and blue uniform was pulled up by Superman.

"A little accident?" Superman looked around with a complex expression, the implication of which was self-evident.

"Don't be too nervous, just treat it as another alien invasion."

Superman wanted to say that aliens wouldn't take the blame for this.

At this time, some people who were prepared didn't need Superman to dig them out and jumped out by lifting the building debris themselves. Green Goblin crawled out from the building fragments and was met head-on by the blade light of Deathstroke.

He narrowly dodged it, furious. He wanted to find trouble with the Hulk, and even if he took a step back, he just wanted to cause some chaos in New York. Where did this mercenary wearing strange armor pop out from? Why was he looking for trouble with him?

Green Goblin rolled to dodge Deathstroke's blade, took out a pumpkin bomb and threw it over. After a burst of smoke, Deathstroke's shadow was gone, but several missiles attacked from behind him.

Green Goblin looked back and saw Stark's armor. Even if Iron Man didn't open his mask, Green Goblin could feel his anger at this moment. After all, he had blown up his old home this time in an unprecedented way.

Green Goblin's glider was broken, and he couldn't run away, so he could only fight head-on, constantly throwing bombs at Stark's direction, while he himself used the cover of building debris to dodge Stark's missiles.

After Captain America found that Dr. Banner was fine, he also swung his shield and joined the battle. Hawkeye, who was riding a helicopter, soon arrived, set up his bow, and fired several explosive arrows.

Hawkeye's explosive arrows were quite powerful. The fault line of the Stark building rose with layer upon layer of smoke and dust. After a few loud bangs, everyone showed their unique skills, desperately fleeing the explosion scene.

Bruce reached out and used the web-shooter to fire a web that stuck to the building next door, holding Natasha and swinging to the roof. Captain America jumped down from the building, landing on his shield without any injuries.

Deathstroke also swung to the opposite side with a grappling hook, grabbing Deadpool's leg along the way and throwing him to the roof as well. The mages flew one after another to the square next to them, while Superman placed the unconscious Dr. Banner in front of them.

The only one who was unlucky was Green Goblin. He didn't have flight ability, his glider was broken, and an explosive arrow happened to be stuck by his feet.

The power of the explosive arrow head was already considerable. Green Goblin was still carrying many electromagnetic and pumpkin bombs, and plus Deathstroke threw several small bombs toward Green Goblin before leaving, not fearing the chaos. With a loud boom, a mushroom cloud rose above the Stark building.

No one cared about Green Goblin's condition, because obviously, the situation of the Stark building was even more precarious.

The top six floors of the Stark building were all Stark's private laboratories, the most important of which were the energy and mechanical engineering laboratories. After being hit by the crashed "candied hawthorn," the laboratories were basically scrapped.

But this time it was even worse. Large-scale explosions caused the debris that had originally collapsed on the building to shoot toward the surroundings like shrapnel and fall down. Pedestrians on the road began to scream one after another, fleeing in panic.

The power of ordinary concrete building debris was average; the key was that the armor fragments Superman had burned before, and the fragments of various large-scale equipment in the laboratory were blown up by the explosion and then fell from high altitude, dense like missiles.

Superman hurriedly went to intercept, flying around the entire building like an arrow off a string, smashing the larger building fragments, and then using a biological force field to suspend them in mid-air.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough and the handling was timely. Only a small part of fist-sized fine debris fell down, and other threatening fragments were intercepted.

Superman had just breathed a sigh of relief when there was another burst of debris falling from the top of the building. He looked up, and they were fighting again above.

After the explosion on the roof ended, Bruce swung back to the roof with a web. From a pile of charred fragments, he dug out the Green Goblin, who was also blown pitch-black all over.

But there was a disagreement about the ownership of the unconscious Green Goblin. Bruce and the righteous Iron Man were in favor of handing Green Goblin over to the law, but how could Superior Iron Man let go of the culprit who blew up his home?

Originally, when seeing Pepper's terrified eyes, Superior Iron Man didn't want to argue with that virtual consciousness Stark anymore. At worst, he would build a Stark building himself; there was no need to fight with others for this one.

But Superior Iron Man didn't have the big-picture view of the righteous Iron Man. He only knew that Osborn, as the Green Goblin, definitely deliberately brought this series of demons and monsters to hit his home. If he didn't give him a little color to see, wouldn't any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to bully him in the future?

The silver-white armor landed in a pile of ruins. He stared at Bruce and said: "Give him to me."

Bruce took a step back, shook his head, and said: "Don't even think about it."

Superior Iron Man didn't intend to talk nonsense with him and rushed directly toward him. Bruce's spider-sense rang urgently. He dodged to the side, climbed onto the wall, and shot a web at the ceiling. After Bruce swung over, he wanted to attack Superior Iron Man from behind.

Superior Iron Man turned around, the palm cannon opened, and a shield flew over. He had to turn to dodge. Captain America landed, Natasha followed closely, and the two put away their weapons. Captain America looked at Superior Iron Man and said.

"Tony, although I don't know what happened to you, I think we can talk. No one here wants to hurt you, you need to calm down."

"You are all standing on his side." Superior Iron Man snorted coldly and said: "He is your comrade-in-arms and good partner, stop being hypocritical there."

After speaking, he rushed toward Bruce again. This time, he directly blew away the debris by Bruce's feet with a cannon, blocking Bruce's escape route, and took advantage of his jump to dodge to smash his elbow into his chest, knocking him flying out.

Captain America and Natasha attacked from the flanks left and right, while Hawkeye covered with explosive arrows again, watching as Superior Iron Man was forced into a dead end.

Just as the few were fighting intensely, the ground under their feet trembled, and then began to shake violently from side to side.

Everyone waved their arms to stabilize their figures. Bruce, who was closest to the window, held the window frame and looked down. The entire Stark building was slowly flying away from the ground.

A strong figure was lifting the building, the red cape fluttering violently in the wind, and a roar resounded through the Gotham skyline.

"Get out of my Metropolis!!!!"
