Chapter 3417: Son of Midnight (XVI)
"Shut up!"
The interruption sounded in unison in the ears of Jarvis and Kong Su at the same time.
The wings made of white light floated slightly, and Schiller floated into the air. He said to Kong Su in his heart: "I couldn't beat Stark before I became a superhero, and I still can't beat Stark after becoming a superhero. Then I have been a superhero for nothing, right? Stop talking nonsense and beat him up!"
"It's time to prove that you are not a robot vacuum cleaner, Jarvis. Even if it's in terms of force, at least you can defeat Schiller once. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Go!"
Jarvis and Kong Su sighed in unison.
Schiller's other hand grasped the long staff, changing from single wielding to dual wielding. Stark's chest reactor was fully charged, and the magic light covered his whole body.
Without any fancy moves, two figures, one in white and one in blue, collided with each other. Light burst out from the top of the long staff, and the reactor instantly deployed an energy shield.
“Sizzle—bang!”
The two were knocked away at the same time, and then collided again. Schiller swung the long staff in his hand towards the head of the mecha. Stark dodged by leaning forward, and then kicked the tip of the staff with a roundhouse kick. Schiller turned the staff in a circle and stabbed it downward with the tail.
With another "sizzle", cracks appeared on Stark's magic shield. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, the lasers in his hands were fully charged, the muzzles were opened, and a ball of brilliant energy gathered in his palms.
"Buzz--" A few tenths of a second before the magic laser was fired, Schiller's figure disappeared in the moonlight. Then another ray of moonlight cast down, and Schiller appeared beside Stark. When he sprinted backwards, the long cloak behind him suddenly came alive and swept towards Stark like a wave.
Stark was caught off guard and his arm was grabbed. But he turned over and spun in the air, steadied his body, clenched his arms, and rose into the air like a cannonball, then hovered in the air, raising the battlefield another dozen meters higher.
Schiller was not to be outdone. He transformed into moonlight again, flashing in the air and colliding with Stark several times. The two were evenly matched.
"Sir, I suggest you give me full control of the mecha." Jarvis said, "The reaction speed can be increased by about 40%."
"Removal of restrictions agreement."
"Okay. Authorization completed. Restrictions lifted. Magic energy output increased to maximum output."
A brilliant magical light suddenly burst out from Stark's chest, then slowly enveloped his entire body, and his figure disappeared in mid-air.
Schiller turned around and saw a fist filled with energy appear behind him.
In front of Schiller, Kong Su's figure flashed, and then a bright moon rose, and the Moonlight Temple and the people watching below disappeared. In the void, a huge moon rose on the skyline.
"Where is this?" Schiller asked.
"My kingdom of God." Kong Su snorted coldly and said, "Everything here is made of moonlight, and I dominate everything."
"Abnormal spatial fluctuations have been detected." Jarvis said, "We seem to have been pulled into the opponent's power field."
"Can we break out?"
"That's not necessary. The magic power we use cannot be assimilated by the enemy. It's the same if we fight here, and it won't affect the city outside."
Stark smiled and screwed his fists.
"I just want to know where your system has been upgraded." Kong Su asked, "Your fighting skills are far inferior to the other you."
"That's because I'm worried about breaking things," Schiller said. "Why would I fight him in my own house? Who would pay for it if I broke the house? If you had used this trick earlier, I would have beaten him down."
After saying that, he held the long staff in front of him with both hands, remained still for a second, and then rushed towards Stark like a flash of lightning.
Stark used his magic arm to block as he did before, but Schiller stopped abruptly at the moment before touching Stark, used his long staff to touch the ground as a fulcrum, and did a roundhouse kick at Stark's right shoulder.
"Oh!" Stark exclaimed, and immediately stabilized his body, trying to reach out to grab him, but the other party turned into a ray of moonlight, came to the other side of Stark again, and punched him on the cheekbone.
"Bang!" "Shit? What happened?!"
"A change in behavior has been detected," Jarvis said. "This is not like Dr. Schiller."
Stark was about to say something when Schiller changed his position again. Stark learned his lesson and dodged downwards, but then the long staff swept across from under his feet, and Stark quickly pulled it up.
While Schiller was holding back, Stark suddenly dived down and threw a powerful punch at Schiller. Schiller threw away his staff and when Stark rushed to him, he flew over and hugged Stark from behind, then tightly strangled his neck with one arm.
"Oh my god. Is he planning on suffocating my mech?"
"I'm afraid not, sir. The power of the moonlight is assimilating our magical powers. We must break physical contact with him."
Stark increased his flying speed, reached out to grab Schiller's arm, turned quickly and threw Schiller out.
Just as Stark turned his head and stared at Schiller's figure, a dark shadow rushed towards him quickly.
"Bang!"
The long staff called back by Schiller hit Stark's face straight. After a crisp sound, Stark fell down.
Schiller slowly spun down in mid-air, and when he was about to touch Stark, his cloak wrapped around the mecha and dropped him to the ground.
Stark jumped up, the light from the reactor in his chest filled up again, and he shouted, "Again!"
The long cape swept past him again. Schiller landed and turned back, and Stark felt that the man under the hood was laughing again.
Stark rushed forward again, but this time he could feel the change in the opponent's fighting style without Jarvis' reminder.
Schiller became very light, always able to accurately dodge Stark's attacks without any unnecessary movements, and then cleverly use physical contact to assimilate Stark's strength. Although Stark was able to get rid of it in the end, if it dragged on like this, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable to him.
Throwing Schiller away again, Stark took a deep breath.
"There's still enough energy for one final release." Jarvis said, "Do you want to switch forms, sir?"
"He was the first to use his divine power." Stark exhaled the breath he had inhaled, and a magical light gradually flashed in his eyes.
"Got it. Prepare to upgrade."
Unlike his previous explosive power output, the reactor in Stark's chest not only did not emit light, but instead gathered all the magical power inward, and finally condensed into a dazzling light.
Amidst the deafening buzzing sound, a huge shadow appeared behind the moon. His body was so huge that when he stretched out his hands, he could actually hold the huge full moon in the sky.
Schiller turned the long staff in his hand and saw countless aircraft revolving around the Iron Demon, dragging colorful tail flames, so bright that they seemed to leave marks on his pupils, and the moonlight was dimmed in an instant.
"My kingdom of God can only last for two more minutes at most." Kong Su said, "But his energy is running out. As long as you can get close to the energy core and assimilate the last part of his power into moonlight, he will have to exit the demon god form."
Schiller said nothing, raised his staff, and flew towards the Iron Demon. The aircraft was coming at him like a rainstorm, and Schiller was twisting and turning in the air, his cloak fluttering in a silver arc.
As he got closer to the energy core, the machines and aircraft became more and more dense. Schiller first swung his staff and smashed a drone that was flying towards him. Then he jumped up onto the tentacles of a jellyfish-like mechanical monster, and then used a short-distance flash to jump to the platform on the other side.
His tentacle-like wings bound the approaching aircraft, swung in the air for a few circles, and then smashed into another machine. Wherever he passed, crackling sparks of electricity were like champagne bubbles, almost obscuring his figure.
Rushing forward again, Schiller threw his staff forward with all his strength, and the sharp end of it pierced the arm armor of the Iron Demon. Then he jumped up, his cloak wrapped around the staff, and as the Iron Demon raised his hand, he turned over again and landed steadily on the surface of the arm.
The other hand smashed down, and Schiller used the little remaining energy to flash to the back of the other hand, then used the tentacles of his wings to roll up the long staff and grabbed it in his hand. The moment this hand was retracted, he jumped high and jumped towards the magic core in his chest, holding the long staff high and stabbing it downwards with force.
“Sizzle—Bang!!!!”
A ball of light exploded above the fountain of the Moonlight Temple, and two figures flew backwards to the left and right.
Schiller crashed directly into the wall behind him, then fell to the ground and rolled twice. Stark's mecha dragged a long scorched trail on the ground and hit the corner of the wall, causing a small explosion.
Due to lack of strength, Schiller's wings disappeared, and the light on the staff became dim. Smoke came out of Stark's chest, and half of his visor was lifted up. Stark inside was grinning, holding his chest, and stood up staggeringly.
"He did it on purpose!" Stark cursed in his mind, "It hurts so much, shit. Is my heart still beating?"
"Your vital signs are fine," Jarvis said, "but regarding the chest reactor, I agree with Dr. Schiller. Placing the energy core in the chest is harmful to life safety. I suggest you upgrade the system as well."
Stark sighed, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic, and Jarvis did not persuade him anymore, but just showed him the extent of the damage to the mecha. Simply put, the mecha was running low on energy, so it could only be repaired slowly, and it was best not to use it for combat anymore.
Stark replaced the original energy core, accelerated the repair of the mecha, and moved his hands and feet. He did not find any injuries. But when he saw Schiller was unharmed, he sighed again.
Peter walked over and tried to help Stark up, but Stark just patted his arm.
"Are you two done yet?" Miles asked, looking at the two of them. "If you are, go gather our last team members and take care of the trouble in the Bronx."
"Okay. But I have to go back and adjust my equipment. I'll show you something while I'm at it." Stark waved his hand and said, "I've made some progress on the research of the minotaur I brought back that day."
Miles nodded and said, "The monster is indeed important. Do you understand how it appeared?"
"In general, it is a combination of magic and technology," Stark said. "I found traces of genetic modification in the monster's body. But at the same time, there are also remnants of magical energy."
"There are not many people in this world who can wield two powers at the same time."
"Yes, it should be said that there are almost none. I am one of them, but Stark Group does not have such technology."
"Do you have any suspicion?"
"Yes. But there is no evidence to prove it."
"If there is evidence, it's more than just suspicion. Tell me about it."
"I got the news from S.H.I.E.L.D. The head of Roxxon Corporation is not a simple person. His company has invested a lot of energy in the Bronx recently."
Miles paused and said, "You mean the aerial factory project?"
