Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1105: News and Support

Rewinding time a few minutes earlier, while Loki was engaged in a verbal battle with Thor and Jack and Lin Rui were watching from the sidelines, Lin Rui had already sent out a message to the outside world due to Loki’s sudden appearance.

After all, he had fought alongside Thor. Although this Loki was different from the one Lin Rui remembered who nearly annihilated Earth, he still posed a significant threat.

So, when Tony borrowed SHIELD’s satellite system to scan the Sahara Desert because of the Bifrost’s appearance, J.A.R.V.I.S. had already received Lin Rui’s message.

Almost simultaneously with J.A.R.V.I.S receiving Lin Rui’s message, it also identified the unusual area in the Sahara Desert.

“Sir, Jackson has sent a message. An Asgardian is present there and may pose a threat. Furthermore, I have located the position of the Bifrost, and its appearance coordinates closely match Jackson’s current location.” J.A.R.V.I.S. wasted no time conveying the information to the anxious Tony.

Hu~

As he spoke, J.A.R.V.I.S projected the situation in the Sahara Desert directly in front of Tony. With SHIELD’s satellite support, J.A.R.V.I.S. effectively had eyes over the Sahara Desert.

“Is Jackson there? Notify SHIELD, we need backup! J.A.R.V.I.S, deploy Mark 150, it’s faster than us.” Observing the eerie blackened circle on the Sahara Desert projected by J.A.R.V.I.S, Tony’s brows furrowed as he issued orders.

“Understood, sir. Mark 150 has been deployed and will arrive in two minutes.” Acting promptly on Tony’s command, J.A.R.V.I.S also simultaneously dispatched the message for SHIELD support.

“Let’s go! We’ll head over as well! Since that kid, Jackson has mentioned a potential threat, the likelihood of an unexpected event is quite high. After all, he always manages to stumble into various accidents!” Tony, who rapidly formulated a plan, moved toward the floor-to-ceiling window of his office.

As he approached the window, he began to emit a series of fiery red glows; these were emanating from his semi-lifeform mechanical armor.

Hu!!

A few seconds later, a crimson figure had already burst out from the upper levels of Stark Industries Tower. Its destination was the African Sahara Desert.

…

At SHIELD, Captain Rogers had also been granted access to the satellite system for Tony’s use, allowing him to view the same information as J.A.R.V.I.S.

Furthermore, not only had Tony received Lin Rui’s message, but Captain Rogers had also received it. In the message to Captain Rogers, Lin Rui emphasized the necessity of having Dr. Banner present.

Thus, after a brief contemplation, Rogers immediately dispatched a message to Dr. Banner, who was currently researching the Magic Cube, requesting his temporary assistance in supporting the Phantom Knight.

Since Lin Rui had already expressed the need for it, evidently, he believed that Dr. Banner or the Hulk’s assistance was required.

Hu~

Not long after Tony departed solo from New York, SHIELD’s support set off from Washington.

Thanks to multiple upgrades and the research into Dark Elf aircraft, SHIELD’s Quinjet now boasted a flying speed sufficient to reach the African Sahara Desert in a short amount of time.

However, even with Captain Rogers’s side moving quickly, they couldn’t outpace Tony. That’s because the Mark 150 that Tony had set J.A.R.V.I.S. in motion for wasn’t an ordinary Iron Man suit; it was a super-powered Iron Man suit, secretly stationed on a Stark Industries Satellite, designed for swift global intervention.

Ever since Lin Rui and Tony discussed the idea of establishing an Earth Federation to safeguard the planet and lead its development, Tony had conceived and been secretly executing this plan.

During the previous Dark Elf invasion, the weaponry wasn’t fully prepared yet. Otherwise, Tony would have shown those hideous Dark Elves just how potent his “big guns” were.

And now, with Lin Rui’s warning about Asgardians arriving and the potential threat, Tony, who had previously witnessed the might of the Asgardian Destroyer, certainly wouldn’t take it lightly.

During the previous battle against the Dark Elf race, although the number of Asgardian participants had been limited, their impact was formidable. At the very least, the full firepower of the Destroyer had been enough to leave Earth’s side in awe.

Considering Stark Industries’ satellite positioning and the descent speed of Mark 150, it would reach the Sahara Desert in less than two minutes. With this powerful weapon present before the support of Tony and SHIELD arrived, it would be sufficient to assist Lin Rui. Tony felt confident that everything was under control.

Swish!

“Sir, Jackson’s provided location has changed.” Just as Tony was rapidly heading towards Africa, J.A.R.V.I.S’s voice resounded in his ear once again.

Hu~

Subsequently, a holographic screen appeared before Tony, displaying real-time images captured by J.A.R.V.I.S. via satellite.

On the holographic screen, the previously blackened area of the desert was rapidly spreading towards the center, as if being colored in to fill the previously empty space.

Clearly, this was the change on the battlefield that occurred after Jack had withdrawn his magical protective barrier.

“What’s this… J.A.R.V.I.S, zoom in on the center!” Observing this eerie scene on the holographic screen, Tony’s eyes immediately widened.

“Understood, sir.”

With a response, J.A.R.V.I.S quickly zoomed in on the center of the blackened ground. Following this, Tony could clearly see the colossal flower rooted at the center of the area. Of course, there were also several nearby figures that were difficult to distinguish from each other.

“That’s Jackson, Jack, and Thor. As for the other person, their identity cannot be determined, and their energy is highly unstable. Their corporeal form cannot be ascertained.” Just as Tony was puzzled, J.A.R.V.I.S’s timely explanation reached him.

While explaining, J.A.R.V.I.S marked the positions of Lin Rui and the others on the holographic screen, leaving Loki as the only remaining individual.

“It seems that person is an Asgardian. J.A.R.V.I.S., you know what to do. If he poses a threat, let him experience the power of Mark 150.” Observing the situation on the holographic screen as annotated by J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony issued further orders.

“Understood, sir.”

…

Boom!

While Tony and SHIELD’s support was rapidly approaching, Jack forcefully withstood the colossal flower’s attempt to devour him, retracting the magical protective barrier that had encompassed a radius of two hundred meters.

Evidently, this defensive magic shield was not as easily consumed by the massive flower as the offensive magic arrays.

“Is Druidic Magic truly this potent? Is it impervious to fire-based magic?” Safely encased within the sturdy golden magical protection, Jack looked at the gargantuan flower before him, furrowing his brows as he murmured to himself.
