Chapter 791: Hurry
Whew!
On the high-alt.i.tude route between Siberia and America, the Iron Man is hurtling towards New York at several times the speed of sound.
Tony has also been informed of the situation of the London dimension, but he doesn’t have any extra Iron Man Suit to send for reinforcement and the Iron Men suit there had a “system error”. Tony felt that if things went on like this then his headache would probably kill him.
“Sir, it seems that Mr. Harry and Mr. Thor have found a way to help Jackson. However, that method seems to be more dangerous.” After Harry pulled Thor to see Lin Rui’s situation, JARVIS had already put his observations on the situation and told Tony.
“Also, Miss Pepper already knows a lot of things. So, this might be the right time to explain yourself to her.” JARVIS continued before Tony could speak.
Hearing this, the expression on Tony’s face changed. He had just returned from the portal in Siberia, and the brutal battle situation was still reverberating in Tony’s mind.
He expected some piece after returning to Earth but there were so many things that he needed to worry about. Even though Tony Stark is a genius, it would be exhausting to deal with so much.
“f.u.c.k! I will talk to Pepper. She already suspects and knows many things so telling her wouldn’t be a problem. However, you said that Harry and that Thor guy found a way to save Jackson? What is it?” Tony sighed deeply as he spoke.
“Mr. Thor seems to know something about Dark Elves. He seems to have the power to control the Dark energy left in him when Dark Elf attacked Jackson. So if Jackson really can’t hold out, Mr. Thor will take his chances. However, Mr. Thor’s power seems to be suppressed so much that he has only a one in ten chance of success.” Hearing Tony’s question, JARVIS answered quickly.
“He knows about Dark Elves?! That’s right! Isn’t this Thor an alien!? So it isn’t that surprising for him to know about Dark Elves! However, he only has a 10% chance of success? Are you kidding me right now?!” Tony muttered to himself in disbelief after hearing JARVIS’ answer.
“By the way, you said Jackson kept going because of the magic thing he had in his hand. JARVIS, do you think Jackson will fully recover due to that thing?” Tony once again asks JARVIS after thinking to himself.
JARVIS told Tony everything about Lin Rui’s situation at this time, so of course, he knew that the reason why Lin Rui hadn’t been swallowed up by those dark energies was because of the magical thing in his hand.
Lin Rui would have died several times from his injuries if it hadn’t been for that magical thing.
“I can’t judge this. I can’t detect the energy of the thing in Jackson’s hand. However, it transmits powerful energy to Jackson all the time, and it is this energy that is helping Jackson resist those dark energies.”
“I don’t know if Jackson’s going to completely counteract the dark energy with what he has on his hand. But now there seems to be some kind of balance between them, and no one can do anything about the other.” Faced with Tony’s inquiry, JARVIS honestly answered.
“Not sure? Then we can’t count on that thing. We have to find another way to save Jackson!” Tony said seriously after hearing JARVIS’ answer.
Tony doesn’t pin his hopes on the unknown, that’s not his style. As for finding other ways to save Lin Rui, Tony felt that there must be a way. If nothing works then Tony doesn’t mind going to the battlefield over the Siberia portal again, he’s going to capture a Dark Elf Elite warrior and bring him over to Lin Rui to remove the dark energy from his body.
Dī Dī~
“Sir, video call from Miss Pepper.” Just when Tony was thinking about how to save Lin Rui, Pepper’s phone call came in.
Brush!
In the next moment, the translucent light screen in front of Tony’s eyes outlined Pepper’s head.
“Hey! Pepper, you look good!” With almost no time to prepare, Tony quickly changed to his relaxed expression and said h.e.l.lo to Pepper in front of him.
However, Tony, who had been prepared for Pepper’s verbal criticism, saw Pepper’s angry expression slowly change to worry and anxiety. As Tony wondered, Pepper spoke up.
“Tony, let’s stop trying to save the world, okay?”
Tony: “……”
Two minutes later, Tony hung up the video call with Pepper. This video call with Pepper made Tony feel a lot of emotion. Tony doesn’t know why, but Pepper didn’t blame Tony for canceling on her. Instead, she was worried about what he was doing and asked him to take care of himself.
“JARVIS, why is this happening? Didn’t you say that you didn’t tell Pepper what I was going to do?” Tony who hung up the phone still had Pepper’s worried and nervous eyes echoing in front of him and asked JARVIS.
Hum~
Without answering Tony’s words, JARVIS directly projected Tony’s current state in front of his eyes. And after seeing what he looked like at this moment, Tony finally understood why Pepper said that. Because, at this time, Tony looked badly beaten up.
Even with the protection of the Iron Man suit, Tony had to suffer several shock wounds on his face because he had been pinned down during the battle with the Dark Elf Elite Soldier.
So these wounds are skin wounds and they have bled very little, and they have healed quite a bit by themselves. But even those partially healed wounds were more shocking and painful to Pepper.
So, when Pepper, who was originally angry, saw that Tony didn’t even have the time to deal with the injuries on his face, what reason did she have to be angry?!
“Looks like, I have some explanations to do when I go back this time!” Tony sighed silently.
Dī Dī~
“Sir, Mr. Deadpool from League of Defenders has arrived at Stark Industries.” Just as Tony was rushing to New York, JARVIS’s voice came out again.
“Deadpool? Is h here to see Jackson? That’s right, they must have gotten close when they fought those things on the alien planet.” Hearing JARVIS’ reminder, Tony wondered why Deadpool went to Stark Industries.
“Let him in.”
“Yes, sir.”
