"Human, hand over the Mind Stone!"
Hearing Ebony Maw's words, Tony chuckled softly, "This is my territory. Your words do not count here."
As Tony finished speaking, a swarm of nanobots emerged from the ground, walls, and ceiling. They transformed into additional suits of Mark 50 Bleeding Edge Armor. They rapidly attacked Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf. One suit of Bleeding Edge Armor covered Tony, protecting him from any unforeseen damage.
It must be said that the Bleeding Edge Armor, unlike the Iron Legion drones forged from ordinary materials, held its own against Ebony Maw's telekinetic power. While it would still sustain considerable damage, it would not be instantly destroyed like the Iron Legion.
Bang!
Bang!
Black Dwarf smashed four Bleeding Edge Armors into pieces. At that moment, the other four Bleeding Edge Armors landed in front of Black Dwarf. They quickly transformed into nanobots that converged together. Combining the undamaged nanobots from the shattered Bleeding Edge Armors, they formed a Hulkbuster. It punched Black Dwarf in the face with tremendous force, slamming him into the wall. He spat out bloody teeth.
"Roar!"
Black Dwarf roared furiously. He instantly attacked the Hulkbuster. Guided by Jarvis, the two behemoths fought. The Hulkbuster's attack dragged Black Dwarf through the floor, and they landed on the level below.
At this time, Ebony Maw completely eliminated those Bleeding Edge armors that only had basic intelligence. He reached out to use his telekinesis to snatch the Mind Stone.
But at this moment, Tony finally finished removing the Mind Stone. He quickly replaced the Mind Stone with a new energy transmitter in Vision's forehead.
When Ebony Maw's telekinesis just touched the Mind Stone, Vision, who was lying there, suddenly opened his eyes. He grabbed the Mind Stone from the mechanical arm. He stood up and faced Ebony Maw directly. With the newly installed yellow gem-like energy transmitter, he shot a yellow beam of light directly through Ebony Maw's left shoulder. This caused Ebony Maw to fly backwards due to the impact, slamming hard into the wall and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
Looking at the Mind Stone in his hand, Vision's arm felt slightly ethereal as he immediately transferred the Mind Stone into his body for safe storage. He then looked at Tony and said, "Stark, I will handle him. You take care of the other one."
"Alright, my armor is ready!"
As Tony finished speaking, the ground behind him suddenly deformed. A red and black suit of armor rose up behind Tony. Tony's Bleeding Edge Armor quickly receded, reverting to nanobots that remained attached to his body. Tony took two steps back and entered the activated red and black armor.
Mark Omega Vibranium Armor, Activate!
Buzz!
This armor's design was quite retro. It looked very similar to the Mark 3, but the technology within was vastly different. At least from its slightly larger size, it was clear that it must have contained even more new technologies, including magical ones. It was still Tony's crowning achievement, the culmination of all his techniques!
Bang!
Two streams of flame erupted from the thrusters beneath his feet. Tony vanished instantly. He leaped down through the hole in the ground. Looking down at the shattered floor below and Black Dwarf, who had just completely destroyed the Hulkbuster, Tony did not hesitate. He immediately commanded his new armor and charged forward, engaging Black Dwarf in a close-range exchange of punches.
BANG!
The punch only staggered Tony slightly, while Black Dwarf's right mechanical arm completely shattered. Even his intact upper arm was completely fractured by the reflected impact.
While this was partly due to the increased power of the new armor, it was more due to vibranium's special ability to reflect and absorb kinetic energy. This bounced back Black Dwarf's force, inflicting severe damage on him.
Seeing the devastating effects of the new armor, Tony laughed heartily. He stepped forward and grabbed Black Dwarf's swung weapon. Simultaneously, a blast of blazing white energy erupted from his right palm, blasting Black Dwarf's body into a bloody mess. He sent him flying backward with a wail of pain.
"It seems this armor's power far exceeds my imagination. I am done playing with you, then. It is time to end it!"
Buzz buzz buzz buzz...
Energy converged rapidly. All the armor's energy systems converged on Tony's chest. The next second, a thick incandescent beam of light, radiating wisps of electricity, shot out. It struck Black Dwarf, who raised his weapon in defense.
However, Black Dwarf's weapon melted into nothingness beneath the beam. His body was reduced to charred remains within the blast. He was utterly dead at Tony's hands.
The Cluster Cannon shut down. Tony observed Jarvis's energy consumption indicator. He realized that just now, he had consumed nearly forty percent of his energy, and that was with his recently modified arc reactor.
Clearly, this Mark Omega Vibranium armor was not without its weaknesses. Its only major drawback was its excessive energy consumption. While other armors' energy sources could sustain prolonged battles, this one could only sustain full-strength combat for a minute or two. Its energy consumption rate was truly terrifying.
While Tony dealt with Black Dwarf, Vision came down with Ebony Maw held by the head. Severely wounded by Vision's sudden attack, Ebony Maw was no match for Vision at all.
Especially since the energy-emitting device on Vision's forehead, which resembled a yellow gemstone, contained a variety of magical technologies. Ebony Maw was completely outmatched by Vision.
Before preparing to retrieve the Mind Stone, Sebastian, Tony, and Reed had already created a replacement device for Vision. Although it could not contain the same energy as the Mind Stone, Sebastian had imbued it with a variety of powerful spells. Combined with Tony and Reed's technology, Vision's strength was not only unaffected, but even improved significantly.
Casually tossing Ebony Maw's severed head aside, Vision looked at Tony and said, "Stark, the Mind Stone has been retrieved. Now it is time to get it to where it belongs!"
