Chapter 157 - Chapter 156: Actually a Frankenstein Monster~ (Part 2)

"But… I'm also using E-Carbon Alloy!"

Tony, who was kicked flying, found his brilliant mind a little sluggish at the moment.

Although he wasn't charging at full speed just now, the giant mech, over ten meters tall, being able to match his speed still made Tony unable to comprehend it.

'You're so huge, how much faster can you possibly get?'

That's right, although Orange Group's newly established Orange Materials factory had only just begun renovation and construction.

But as an important investor, Tony still received priority supply of 'E-Carbon Alloy'.

In fact, the first alloy production equipment that was successfully test-produced was almost taken home directly by Tony.

But then again~

As mentioned before, 'E-Carbon' itself is graded. When Luca built the 'Husky Armor' in Tony's lab, he didn't use the top-tier 'E-Carbon Armor', and it was even less likely for the top-tier material to be released directly for external sale from the start.

So, Tony's 'Anti-Boxer Armor' and 'Boxer 2.0' inherently had a certain material gap.

And more importantly, Luca's upgraded [Boxer] Mech was not just a simple 'item'.

That's right, it's not just an item!

Luca also inadvertently discovered what the'suitable for upgrade and modification' phrase on the Golden Finger panel meant while modifying the Boxer Mech.

Perhaps it was because the [Boxer] Mech itself was a fusion product assembled from various scrap parts.

This item, during the modification process, if other Golden Finger items were incorporated, could actually partially retain the 'conceptual attributes' of these items!

Yes, conceptual attributes!

Initially, Luca only adopted some of the [Tracking Glasses] technology learned from the Detective Conan World when modifying the mech's sensors.

Unexpectedly, after this part of the modification was completed, the [boxer]'s dual eye scanners actually gained the [Tracking Glasses]' bizarre infrared wall-penetrating ability, and...

Hmm, the ability for the lenses to reflect light when looking down.

The expression of this characteristic was too obvious; it was difficult for Luca even if he wanted not to notice.

In the pitch-black mech modification room, there was no light whatsoever.

But when he walked in, the mech's eyes glowed eerily with a white light, like giant light bulbs.

And it was precisely because of this discovery that Luca significantly revised the modification plan for the [Boxer] Mech.

A 'voice changer function' was added to the mech's external speakers, which could reduce the mech's presence when'speaking'. Hmm, although the effect wasn't obvious due to its large size.

'Telescopic bands' were added to the mech's joints, possessing super strong contraction force and strength, while their elasticity was also quite profound, greatly enhancing the mech's flexibility.

The reason for the swift kick just now was precisely because of this.

As for the mech's feet, they incorporated some technology from the [Solar Skateboard], adding eight huge wheel-shaped structures.

This thing was formidable, allowing the mech to gain extremely high flexibility and balance, while also being able to perform parkour on various complex terrains. The strange speed earlier originated from this.

In short, if Luca only currently possessed the technology to replicate conceptual items from the Detective Conan World, this [Boxer] Mech would be an unprecedentedly powerful Frankenstein monster.

Looking at Tony, who was stunned by the kick in the distance, Luca didn't plan to explain anything. He directly manipulated the mech, smiling, and charged forward again.

"Tony! Don't space out, I don't remember E-Carbon Armor being so fragile! You can't even beat my semi-finished mech, can you? I'll let you use all your armaments if you want~"

While speaking, the mech manipulated by Luca leaned its upper body slightly forward, flames spewing from the back of its lower legs, while also taking large strides forward to 'run'.

The entire mech was like a roller-skating teenager over ten meters tall, charging rapidly towards Tony with an extremely bizarre forward path.

"You brat, don't get cocky!"

How could the esteemed Tony Stark endure such verbal provocation from Luca? Several streams of fire immediately spewed from behind his armor, initiating a counter-charge towards the mech in front of him.

As soon as Veronica approached the [Boxer] Mech, her arms suddenly sprang open.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Several steel cables were continuously ejected.

These steel cables instantly wrapped around the [Boxer] Mech's legs, and then electric arcs flashed at both ends of the cables, adhering them together.

"Heh~ tripwire?"

Seeing the mech's legs entangled, Luca didn't even bother to consider the balance issue. He simply took a forceful step forward.

With a 'bang', the E-carbon chains remained undamaged, but the nodes connected by electromagnetic suction instantly broke apart.

Immediately after, without waiting for Tony to maneuver his armor to change direction, the [boxer]'s right arm suddenly extended, grabbing at Veronica flying in the air.

However, although Luca's strike was extremely concealed and swift, before his hand could even fully grip, the Veronica in front of him suddenly 'exploded'.

Her limbs and torso directly separated into five individual flying units in mid-air.

Aside from the main body of the torso, which carried Tony directly into the sky, escaping Luca's grasp, the remaining four limbs all spewed exhaust flames, rapidly crashing towards the [boxer]'s head.

"Holy crap, Dragon Fang!"

"Boom boom boom boom~"

All four 'Rocket Punches' hit precisely, and the immense impact even caused the [Boxer] Mech to stagger repeatedly.

And that wasn't all; these four 'Rocket Punches' were like shock troopers fighting as a team, not stopping after a single punch.

After carving a large circle in the air with their exhaust flames, they immediately attacked again.

They continuously and rhythmically pounded the [boxer]'s head in alternation.

However, even so.

No matter how much the mech's body leaned back, or how strange its posture became, its hands were also shaken wildly.

But as long as its feet lightly touched the ground, the mech's posture would right itself, never being knocked down by the continuous barrage of punches.

"This? What kind of balance system is this??"

Tony, currently floating in the air by his armor's torso thrusters, looked at the [Boxer] Mech below, which seemed to be dancing, and his mind was filled with nothing but huge question marks.

However, while he was questioning, Luca wasn't distracted.

Seeing the continuous attacks from all sides, and finding it too difficult to catch the rapidly flying 'Rocket Punches',

The [Boxer] Mech directly curled into a ball, hugging its head, and its spherical armor fully deployed, allowing the 'Rocket Punches' to attack it.

Amidst the 'clanging' sounds, it suddenly leaped up, launching itself into the air.

Then, its body quickly unfolded, the mech's right hand extended, thumb and middle finger clasped together, forming a 'flick on the forehead' gesture, aimed at Tony in the air.

Luca, in the cockpit, grinned.

"Hey~ Gotcha~"
