Despite their bickering, Rimuru and Tony actually had the best relationship among The Avengers.
Since Tony specifically came to pick her up, Rimuru naturally didn't stand on ceremony and brought Wind giant and the others directly to Avengers Tower.
Speaking of Avengers Tower, one must mention the recent upheaval at S.H.I.E.L.D..
HYDRA resurfaced, intending to capture Captain America and control S.H.I.E.L.D. in one fell swoop, but their plot was exposed by Captain America, who, along with Nick Fury and Natasha, completely shattered HYDRA's scheme.
Although they were victorious, the cost was heavy: S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded and forced to go underground.
Currently, the fact that Avengers can continue to operate is mainly due to Tony's efforts.
"How's my new suit?"
Tony, like an old child with a new toy, desperately flaunted his new "clothes" in front of Rimuru.
He kept repeating the process of covering himself with the nano-suit and then retracting it back into its storage box.
Rimuru's face was full of black lines; wasn't it just a new suit?
Was it necessary to show off like this?
Was she the kind of person who would be jealous?
She had stopped playing with mechs a long time ago!
As for why a hint of burning desire appeared in her eyes, it was truly because she was angered by Tony's childish behavior!
Seeing the interaction between Rimuru and Tony, Wind giant, Mountain Jade, and the other two covered their mouths, secretly amused.
They naturally knew Tony Stark, but they hadn't expected Stark to have such a comical side.
It was truly interesting!
In front of Avengers Tower.
Seeing Tony retract the nano-suit into its storage box again, Rimuru couldn't help but sigh that Tony was indeed a rich liver emperor.
He was all liver from head to toe!
The nano-suit, also known as Mark 50, according to the original timeline, would only be developed by Tony when Thanos invaded Earth in "Avengers 3."
But now, it was several years earlier than the original timeline.
It might be related to the immense pressure brought by the aliens, but one also had to admire Tony's explosive liver-burning spirit.
Nanotechnology was not that easy to break through!
The significance of the nano-suit was equivalent to the dreadnoughts of the age of naval supremacy; once it was born, all previous models were declared obsolete.
The portability of the nano-suit left the briefcase and watch suits far behind.
Most importantly, while maintaining ultra-high portability, the nano-suit's weapon capabilities and defensive standards were not weakened in the slightest; in fact, they were even greatly strengthened to a certain extent.
This made Rimuru somewhat admire Tony's tenacious quality!
In the face of high pressure, some people are completely destroyed and their spirit is crushed, becoming disheartened.
However, someone like Tony Stark can remain unyielding and rise against the wind.
This might be Iron Man's most valuable quality!
Seeing Rimuru's approving gaze, Tony looked as if he couldn't stand it and said, "Please, don't look at me like that! I'm under a lot of pressure being looked at by countless beautiful women every day!"
Rimuru's face was full of black lines.
Then, a continuously spinning fiery red circle appeared under Tony's feet.
Tony immediately screamed in fright; that last free-fall exercise had left a shadow in his heart.
Seeing the circle of fire appear at his feet, Tony was instantly startled, jumping three feet high, all his momentum gone.
He looked at Rimuru like a mouse seeing a cat.
Tony, you finally have your day!
Everyone secretly chuckled, thinking that only Rimuru could truly subdue Tony.
He who eats from others' hands is beholden to them.
The fact that Avengers could continue to operate was entirely due to the financial support of the wealthy Stark.
Currently, Tony was quite "arrogant" in front of everyone, but unexpectedly, as soon as Rimuru arrived, she immediately made Tony lose his temper.
Indeed, a bad person still needs a worse person to deal with!
It's just unknown what Tony and Rimuru would think if they knew that everyone categorized them as "bad people"!
At Avengers Tower, the first person Rimuru saw was a busy Banner.
Thanks to Tony's funding, Dr. Banner finally bid farewell to his past life of uncertainty, constantly worrying about being captured.
Currently, Banner has become a qualified cat litter scooper.
Using cute pets as a bridge, Banner can even let Hulk out for a breath of fresh air at specific times.
Correspondingly, Hulk's intelligence also gradually grew, and he slowly began to accept Banner.
The situation where Banner transformed when he got angry was alleviated, and Banner, as a result, no longer felt constantly on edge.
He even lived a shameless life with Betty, which was much happier than in the original timeline.
Seeing Rimuru again, Banner's gratitude was immense.
If it weren't for Rimuru, he truly doubted if he could continue with Betty.
But now, he was full of confidence!
Rimuru's arrival quickly made Avengers Tower lively.
The first to arrive was Natasha; compared to before, she looked even more capable now.
Seeing Rimuru dressed in black, Natasha's beautiful eyes lit up; compared to her previous attire, Rimuru in black undoubtedly had a unique charm.
Most importantly, she exuded immense majesty, making people feel an uncontrollable urge to worship her.
After an embrace, Natasha teased, "Rimuru, you've changed so much, and this black outfit really suits you!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, yes. Rimuru-sama is becoming more and more stylish, full of majesty!"
Everyone chimed in, and Rimuru wasn't surprised.
Her sudden liking for black attire must have been influenced by Death Goddess's aesthetics.
At first, Rimuru was still a bit worried.
However, it seemed that besides her aesthetics, she hadn't undergone any other changes.
Although Rimuru remained cautious, she was no longer as nervous as before.
Natasha was a master at regulating emotions; with her joining, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.
For a moment, everyone even felt like they had returned to the past, and each person felt exceptionally joyful.
Soon after, Colonel Rhodes, Hawkeye, and Captain America Rogers also arrived.
Making the atmosphere of this reunion even more elevated!
Honestly, among all The Avengers, Hawkeye's change should be the greatest.
Compared to before, his eyes became much sharper, and he himself was like a sharp sword.
Although the sword was hidden in its sheath, its divine light was faintly visible, eager to be unsheathed and test its edge.
But relatively, he also became more taciturn.
Rimuru estimated that he probably still hadn't completely overcome the guilt of being controlled by Loki.
Unlike in the original movie, after being controlled by Loki, he quickly broke free with Natasha's help.
Moreover, he played a very important role in the subsequent battle, which allowed his inner guilt to be released.
However, in this battle, Hawkeye basically played no role except helping to evacuate civilians at the very end.
This still bothered him greatly!
Rimuru patted Hawkeye's shoulder and comforted him, "Failure is not scary. Where you fall, you get back up. As long as you can face your own heart, that's enough!"
Hawkeye's eyes were sharp, "Let's have an archery competition sometime!"
Huh?
Rimuru was stunned.
What kind of development was this?
Hawkeye looked at Rimuru playfully and said, "There was a time when someone, using my name, fought crime in New York, with the slogan 'XXX, you have failed this city.' Rimuru, your archery skills should be quite outstanding too, right!"
Rimuru looked up at the sky, her eyes full of confusion.
"Archery? What's that? Sorry, I don't know, goodbye!"
