White Can Iron Man roared, and every Iron Man on the battlefield was immediately enveloped in nanite armor.
Over the years, they had always shared and exchanged technology to combat Tony. Full nanite armor was only the foundation. The true strength came from coordination. With everyone connected, they could combine their armors and attacks seamlessly.
Tens of thousands of Iron Men ascended into the sky. Their nanite suits interlocked, forming compartments that fused together. In an instant, a colossal Iron Giant towered over the Earth.
Gathering the knowledge of countless Iron Men, and after two years of research and refinement, this giant's destructive power approached the threshold of Skyfather-level. Even when first deployed, Tony's Anti-Superman Armor alone had struggled to counter it.
That battle had once given the Iron Men hope of defeating Tony, only for him to reveal his Celestial Armor, shattering their confidence. Today, however, they had devised a new strategy. Unable to win through brute force, they would rely on cunning. Even the Avengers would seize such a chance for revenge.
Tony eyed the Iron Giant. "You really think this is enough to beat me?"
"This armor has been defeated before. No matter how you modify it, it's useless," he added, turning to White Can Iron Man. "So, what other trump cards do you have? If you don't use them now, your chance is gone."
White Can Iron Man remained at the base of the Iron Giant, hands on his hips, radiating confidence. Tony knew a bit about him. Unlike the comics' Ultimate Iron Man—a dark Tony variant using symbiotes, nanites, and Extremis—the White Can of the Dimension Continent had a different origin.
Originally an ordinary Iron Man, he had been possessed by an alien symbiote, amplifying his darker impulses and making him unpredictable. This instability explained why he and the other Iron Men had been gathered in the Dimension Continent, per Malrick's filtering rules. None of them were stable, and White Can was the most dangerous of all. Tony knew to stay vigilant.
As if confirming his thoughts, White Can Iron Man laughed, louder and louder, his confidence unwavering.
"Tony of the S Universe, your winning streak ends today," he said, a malicious grin forming. "Not only will you lose today, you'll lose far more…"
Suddenly, his symbiote armor spewed fire, propelling him into the Iron Giant. The armor merged seamlessly, flowing like liquid into the combined mech. Tony's brow furrowed. Even with White Can integrated, the Iron Giant wasn't yet a true threat. The real tactic had yet to reveal itself.
Then, a gem emerged from the merged symbiote.
"Space Stone?" Tony raised an eyebrow. The Iron Men had actually brought a Infinity Stone into the Dimension Continent. But it didn't matter. A Stone alone was no match for his Celestial Armor.
Tony reached for his World Ring to summon it, only to notice a spatial fluctuation emanating from the Iron Giant. Suddenly, his World Ring was inaccessible.
"You found you can't summon your armor, huh?"
A chorus of laughter erupted from the Iron Men within the giant. "We knew you stored your armor in that World Ring! Seal the space, and your armor stays trapped. What will you fight with now?"
The Iron Giant began to stride forward, each step shaking the earth with thunderous force.
"So this is your trump card," Tony said calmly. First, they trapped his Celestial Armor, and now they planned to use the Space Stone against his Anti-Superman Armor. "Not a bad plan. Alright, I'll admit it—combined, you have one-tenth of my ingenuity."
Unfazed, Tony dispelled his current armor. He reached into his suit pocket, but the spatial blockade also sealed off his Four-Dimensional Pocket from the Doraemon world.
"No choice then. Other methods it is," Tony muttered.
He removed an iron button from his collar and tossed it into the air. "Zero Generation. Law Modification Armor!"
The Zero Generation technology, from the Starfall Messenger world, could compress massive mechanical devices into tiny iron buttons. The Law Modification Armor was built on God-tier technology from the Three-Body Universe. Despite the armor appearing light, Tony was armed from head to toe in mechanical precision.
He raised his arm toward the Iron Giant. "Mechanical Growth. Myriad Things Proliferation. Mathematical Law Modification, Physical Law Modification, Spatial Law Modification…"
Tens of thousands of weapons capable of destroying galaxies proliferated instantly, while the laws around the Iron Giant shifted.
The Iron Men inside the giant panicked. Friday and Jarvis sent frantic warnings. They realized they were about to lose, and possibly lose again, without a single chance of victory.
"How is this possible? Rule modification? You didn't even bring an Infinity Stone! Are these mechanical proliferations illusions?!" White Can Iron Man's eyes glowed red, disbelief overwhelming him.
After all his planning, preparation, and strategizing, he could not accept defeat. "It's all an illusion!"
As the core controller of the Iron Giant, White Can charged forward, but it was too late. The Iron Giant disintegrated instantly. Nanite armor particles slid apart under Tony's modified friction laws, and the Iron Man legion fell like rain. They were utterly defeated.
