Chapter 868

Bearing immense pressure, the mech barely stabilized in midair.

The mech's pilot glanced at the intelligence displayed on their screen and fell utterly stunned.

They even began to doubt whether their mech's detection system had malfunctioned—Tony stared at the cataclysmic, nuclear-blast-like scene before him and slowly rotated his hand in the empty air.

He let out a soft sigh, his voice tinged with quiet reflection.

"The president's methods are as brutal as ever!"

Instantly, space folded layer upon layer, forming the strongest barrier.

The terrifying storm, carrying monstrous waves, slammed against the spatial barrier.

Outside the barrier, the ocean roared like the end of the world; inside, it was perfectly calm.

It was as if two completely isolated worlds existed side by side.

"...... Mr. Tony, I've seen part of the Chouzhelian Alliance. If I remember correctly, you're only exceptionally advanced in technology, but your personal strength isn't particularly outstanding, right?"

Kill Teacher's brow twitched several times as he swallowed hard.

Su Han, who could trigger an explosion resembling a nuclear blast, was naturally terrifyingly strong—even making him feel a chill of dread.

But Tony, who could withstand such a terrifying attack head-on, was equally unsettling to him.

According to Kill Teacher's current knowledge, Tony wasn't supposed to be a tech-side master—how could he wield magic so powerfully with just a gesture? Kill Teacher now desperately wanted to ask: Do you all have some misunderstanding about what "technological strength" means? "Kill Teacher... you've only been in Jiarugong Society for a short time! If you'd stayed longer, you'd know I've already taken the Earth's strongest sorcerer, the Ancient One from Doctor Strange, as my master—and learned many powerful spells..."

"After being in Jiarugong Society this long, everyone has changed! If you keep judging everyone solely by concepts from memory copies, you'll be in for a shock."

Tony chuckled silently, though he wasn't surprised.

After all, Kill Teacher had only recently joined Jiarugong Society; not knowing this was understandable.

Tony's palm rotated slightly, and the spatial barrier instantly spun forward, flattening countless waves.

Shi Qi Kuang San stared at the scene before her, sensed it briefly, and spoke softly.

"My split-off versions of Qi Kuang San have all been severely injured! Several are even on the verge of death... President, you really have no mercy at all—don't you fear hurting the innocent...?"

But Shi Qi Kuang San only muttered that one remark—she had just noticed something.

These insects could indeed absorb time, but the quality of their time was far inferior to that of humans.

It could barely maintain a balance between supply and consumption.

Realizing this, Shi Qi Kuang San lost all desire to continue slaughtering the insects.

After all, there was no gain—only barely breaking even—what was the point?.................. If the Jiarugong Society members needed Shi Qi Kuang San's help, she would naturally say nothing and keep fighting.

But if they didn't need her help, then let those with greater ability on-site handle the disaster.

"...... Sorry! I've already exerted every effort to control it. Based on my Kenbunshoku perception, no one has died so far. As for your clones or armors, I didn't consider them."

Su Han's voice rang out—he reactivated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared before them, his expression calm.

Earlier, when Su Han acted, he had used Kenbunshoku to observe the surroundings and roughly estimated the mechs' energy reserves before unleashing this move.

In Su Han's estimation, after the Lightning Qilin's residual waves, a few mechs might reach their energy alert thresholds—but all would remain unharmed.

Tony heard Su Han's words, his brow twitching several times; a sense of foreboding rose in him, and he spoke in a low tone.

"...... JARVIS, report the damage status of the Iron Man armors."

"My lord! Of the 300 Iron Man armors, 11 are severely damaged, and 57 are lightly damaged..."

"...... Such heavy losses..."

Tony fell silent, turning to stare at Su Han. "President, do you know? The number of Iron Man armors destroyed by you exceeds the total I lost fighting the insect race before."

Su Han glanced at Tony, shrugged, "If you can't even withstand the residual waves, whose fault is that?"
