Chapter 534: The Plot Has Strangely Turned Back Again (Part 1)
On the tenth floor of the Mind Palace, in the ward of the mental hospital, young Schiller and the tall Khonshu sat side by side on the edge of the hospital bed. Schiller was holding a ring part from Khonshu's staff and putting it on his wrist, while Khonshu was repairing his staff with a pile of ring parts.
Khonshu held his staff that had been repaired halfway, stretched out his arm, took the staff far away to look at it, and found that some details were not satisfactory, so he took it back and continued to repair it. Young Schiller had been playing with that ring, seemingly studying why it could glow.
Suddenly, the room in the Mind Palace trembled slightly, and some old wall dust fell to the ground. Khonshu didn't know why, looked left and right, didn't find anything abnormal, but young Schiller stood up immediately.
In Khonshu's slightly terrified eyes, a black umbrella appeared in his hand, and immediately after, a sharp knife popped out of the umbrella tip with a "Zeng" sound.
"What's wrong? Where are you going?" Khonshu stood up and asked.
Young Schiller didn't answer him, just carried the umbrella knife and stepped out of the ward with big strides. The cold words echoed in the room:
"I'm going to kill someone."
In the real world, Steve, sitting between two hospital beds, was reading a magazine.
Originally, he was a bit tired. He had experienced huge emotional fluctuations before and had conducted various inferences. His mental consumption was very severe, but because his anxiety disorder hadn't fully recovered, the more nervous he was, the less he could sleep. He could only use the magazine sent by the nurse to pass the time.
Through the edge of the magazine, he saw Schiller on the bed move. Steve immediately put away the magazine, preparing to walk over and talk to Schiller, but suddenly, he found that Schiller's expression had changed.
The moment Schiller opened his eyes, the cold and cruel look in his eyes told Steve that the person who returned was not the gentle psychologist, but an antisocial personality murderer.
Schiller sat up from the bed with somewhat mechanical movements. At the same time, Stark on the bed next to him also woke up. Steve turned around and saw Stark sitting on the bed, shaking his head, and then jumping up with a "Zeng" sound.
He stretched out his hands and said to Schiller opposite him, "Schiller, calm down, listen to my explanation, there is a big misunderstanding here, I didn't mean it..."
Steve turned his head back. He saw that Schiller's clothes were stained with silver, the light outside the window suddenly became dim, and Steve saw that the sun was gradually covered by the shadow of the solar eclipse. The skyline floated with dim yellow, as if night was about to come.
"Crack—"
The Iron Man suit was armed on Stark. The sound of jetting started, bringing up huge airflow in the room. Steve protected his eyes with his arms. After he took his arms down again, Stark broke through the window with a "Bang" sound and flew out.
The flying glass fragments made Steve take a few steps back. He turned around, but at this time, "Swish!" An umbrella knife appeared in Schiller's hand, and with a "Whoosh" sound, he rushed out from Steve's side, bumping Steve into a spin again.
After the two flew out of the hospital and began their desperate chase on the skyline of New York, Steve exhaled, walked to the window, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the scene outside the window.
Steve had expected that Stark might not be able to persuade Schiller because he had experienced that era and knew how unshakable that group of people was. But clearly, it was no longer a matter of persuasion now.
Steve was a bit puzzled because he couldn't rule out the situation of Stark attacking Schiller. Once the two didn't talk at all, and their anger was aroused, they might fight fiercely.
Stark entered Schiller's Mind Palace. It was impossible for anyone to defeat Schiller in Schiller's dream. He couldn't beat him in the dream, so he naturally had to run out. Stark ran, and Schiller definitely had to chase. But why was the one chasing out the killer Schiller who had killed Baron Baron Zemo before?
How angry did Stark make Schiller to make him release such a dangerous personality to hunt him down???
Thinking of this, Steve's conscience didn't allow him to stand by. He also jumped out from the window and then caught up with the two who were chasing.
Generally speaking, Schiller's way of taking action was to scatter into gray mist and then use the advantage of the gray mist's own nature to suppress the opponent. After all, no matter how powerful a fighting master was, they couldn't hit a cloud of mist, and instead, they were easily wrapped by the pervasive mist.
Schiller's fighting style also tended to subdue the opponent. Often, the opponent didn't even react to what was going on before they were knocked out.
Steve, who was proficient in fighting, knew that this was actually a way of fighting Schiller used to cover up his lack of fighting skills. It belonged to playing to one's strengths and avoiding weaknesses. After all, someone who had never learned to fight, even if holding a big machete, might not be able to hurt people accurately and was more likely to hurt themselves.
The advantage of the gray mist's characteristics was too strong, so much so that it only needed to show its form to solve most problems. Therefore, Steve and Stark had always thought that this was Schiller's fighting style.
Because of this, the hundreds of response plans in Stark's machine armor were all aimed at this method, including the giant vacuum cleaner he once took out.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the volume was large enough and the power was strong enough, the vacuum cleaner would be effective against everything, including various celestial bodies in the universe, and also including the gray mist that turned into a mist state.
But this time, Schiller had no intention of changing his form. He carried the umbrella knife, borrowed the power of the Moon God Khonshu, and with one knife after another, huge blade lights blocked Stark's flight trajectory, forcing Stark to stop and confront him head-on.
"Jarvis, hurry up and record his behavioral trajectory, analyze his fighting habits, and perform route calculations..."
"Already recording, sir, but the data is insufficient. The current fighting suggestion is to replace the magic energy and enable the magic shield..."
"But the magic energy is very limited!" Stark said with a headache.
While manually controlling the machine armor to avoid the fatal blade light, he had to calculate the distribution of energy in his brain and turn on the speaker to try hard to persuade Schiller not to fall into crazy fantasies.
Because, from beginning to end, Stark had never seen Death. From his perspective, suddenly, the scale placed in the center of the table was broken with a "Crack" sound, as if it had been smashed flat by an invisible big hand, and even the tray was broken into several pieces. And after Schiller was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly became very ferocious and crazy.
Furthermore, the entire floor shook a bit. If it weren't for Stark's quick reaction and running away, he might not have had the chance to return to the real world.
Stark's battle suit had a very complete protection system, including an energy shield attached to the surface of the battle armor and a repulsion field based on magnetic field principles. But the Moonlight Schiller, who was holding an umbrella knife, fully explained what was called precise and fatal.
Now, the Ark reactor on Stark's chest was very close to infinite energy, but limited by output, the energy shield had to cover the whole body, which required a certain amount of time. Once a certain part was under Schiller's fierce attack and the energy shield became weak, there would be a delay of a few seconds to extract energy from the core and conduct it to this part.
Using this point, Moonlight Schiller took advantage of Jarvis not having collected enough data and not having figured out his attack method, and raised his knife to attack the joints of the battle suit fiercely.
Suddenly, the energy shield was besieged on all sides. In the case of multiple points blooming, some joint parts located in the secondary path could not replenish the shield in time.
For example, the energy shields of the shoulder and elbow were attacked at the same time. When energy was conducted, it must go to the shoulder first, so the elbow was equivalent to having no defense at that time. Schiller slashed, "Zzz" a string of sparks, and Stark retreated rapidly.
He looked at his elbow. A huge crack appeared on the arm armor of the entire forearm, and even the internal wire structure was vaguely visible. The battle suit's alarm kept ringing, and Jarvis's pop-up window almost drowned Stark.
But Schiller was not satisfied with only attacking Stark's limbs because he knew very well that it wouldn't take long for Jarvis to analyze his combat style and provide effective response strategies. By then, wanting to cause damage would become difficult.
Therefore, the method to deal with this kind of super artificial intelligence was fast attack. Before he collected enough data, cause enough damage. By the time they had software data, the hardware would have been damaged to the point of being unable to support continued combat.
Clearly, Steve, who had just caught up, also understood Schiller's intention. Looking at Stark, who was surrounded by blade lights, he shouted to him: "Dodge! Don't be hit by him!"
"I know!" Stark also shouted, but he was also very headache-prone. This was over New York, and it was the most densely populated Brooklyn area. At this moment, everyone stopped and looked at the duel between two superhumans in the air.
Because the two were fighting at high altitude, they didn't affect the people below. Schiller's blade light came from Khonshu's power. After being swung out, it would gradually dissipate, like moonlight.
But if Stark activated heavy weapon firepower coverage, just the falling shrapnel would be enough for ordinary people to drink a pot.
There was no way to use firepower coverage, so half of Iron Man's attack means were scrapped. Stark, who had not been promoted to the Iron Demon God state, could only rely on the drone swarm he had modified before to interfere with Schiller's actions.
The solar eclipse phenomenon in the sky had not subsided. The sun's light was blocked, and the moon's brilliance arrived as scheduled. The earth boundary formed a strange and dreamy terrifying atmosphere between the warm color of dusk and the cold color of moonlight.
Against the background of the sun gradually being swallowed, two human figures in the sky were fighting fiercely.
On the ground, countless ordinary people took out their mobile phones, photographers carried their lenses, reporters swarmed out, and the production team of the latest variety show urgently mobilized all talent scouts and employees to start live-streaming this war between superheroes.
Stark, who was slashed on the calf again, finally couldn't help it. He controlled the battle suit to retreat rapidly, staying away from Schiller rapidly. He flew toward the distance while rotating, like a missile torpedo. In the process, he said to Jarvis: "Replace magic energy!"
"Energy replacing... Replacement complete... Do you want to enable the Demon God form?"
"Is there enough energy?"
"After enabling the Demon God form, it can only last for 4 and a half minutes at most. The energy consumed last time was too much and hasn't had time to replenish."
Stark looked back at Schiller, who was chasing relentlessly behind him. Moonlight was vaguely floating on his body. Stark knew that was the power of the Moon God Khonshu. Schiller had not been controlled from beginning to end; the two were in a cooperative relationship.
"Rebirth of the Financial Giant"
Although Stark's magic energy was not small, it still couldn't compare with the old Egyptian god Khonshu. After all, Stark was a human, and Khonshu was a real demon god. In this situation, he couldn't fight a war of attrition with the demon god.
If Schiller was really an enemy, that would be fine. Stark could directly climb to the peak of the single universe and then press him to death. But unfortunately, Schiller was not.
Schiller was just crazy because of the collapse of his faith. Stark could only subdue him, but couldn't kill him. Therefore, he opened his mouth and said:
"Do not switch to the Demon God form, use the magic combat system alone."
"The magic combat system is still being debugged, and many places are not perfect. Are you sure you want to enable it?"
"Enable!" ===== CHAPTER 535 =====
