Nanotech Armor

"Wonderful."

Seeing Statue of Liberty constantly wounded under the combined assault of Psylocke and the other two, the president and the others beamed with joy. Of all the monsters present, Statue of Liberty and Senator Cabo had put the greatest pressure on them.

"At this rate, we should be able to defeat Senator Cabo."

The president let out a sigh of relief. After all those conditions, he had not agreed to them for nothing.

The others felt the same. The weight in their hearts had finally eased somewhat.

Presidential candidate Acton looked conflicted. Escaping disaster was naturally a good thing, but these mutants were far too powerful—if they wished, they could easily kill any person in power.

This is very bad. We have to find a way to restrict, even control, these mutants.

Acton thought to himself. Then he remembered something, and his chest tightened—he was only a presidential candidate right now. It would still be several months before he actually became president.

In several months, who knew how many mistakes that idiot would make.

Just then, Senator Cabo, who was fighting Wang Bert and Wade, suddenly asked loudly, "Are you thinking that you’re about to win?"

"Why do all you villains love saying that?"

Wang Bert snarked. He had heard that line so many times that he was sick of it.

"I’m not a villain. I’m one of the good guys."

Senator Cabo said, "I love the hope within you, because only hope can nurture the most delicious despair. Now, let me show you what despair truly is."

Along with Senator Cabo’s voice, hundreds of streams of Black Qi flew out of Statue of Liberty and formed hundreds of monsters on the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded. There were hundreds more monsters? They were finished.

"Despairing now? Hahaha, I just love the looks on your faces."

Senator Cabo laughed loudly. "Actually, you did nothing wrong. The world is what’s wrong. Let’s destroy this world together. Then there will no longer be any pain in it."

"That part’s true, since everyone would be dead."

Wang Bert rolled his eyes. It seemed he would have to spend a fortune this time. Damn it, the one hundred million dollars had not even had time to warm up.

"That isn’t important. What matters is that this world is destined to be destroyed."

Senator Cabo shouted. Then, the hundreds of monsters roared and charged at the mutants. The mutants were filled with despair. They simply could not withstand so many monsters.

"Looks like we really will be draped in the flag this time."

Vomiting Boy said as he controlled the monsters to vomit. Thing glanced at him and said, "Sorry, but the Earth is about to be destroyed. We won’t even get the chance to be draped in the flag."

"Looks like all those bottle caps I saved will finally come in handy."

Colossus sighed. Even he, with his invulnerable body, felt despair.

"There’s no other choice. We can only let Jean’s second personality come out."

The Professor gripped his armrest tightly. Unless they were at the end of their rope, he would never want to use this method, because Jean’s second personality would also destroy the world.

In Eastern terms, this was drinking poison to quench thirst.

Wade looked at Wang Bert, his meaning perfectly clear: BOSS, let’s run. We can still hide in an underground base in time.

Because of the Cold War, America had quite a few underground bases built to withstand nuclear bombs. New York alone had several. With Wang Bert and Wade’s Teleportation abilities, it would not be difficult to bring their people into hiding.

"Don’t rush. The real show is only beginning. Let me show you my true power."

Wang Bert teleported into the distance, then silently said in his heart, Adamantium Nanotech Armor, complete.

As Wang Bert activated his ability, one hundred million dollars instantly vanished from his anonymous account. Immediately afterward, the unfinished Adamantium Nanotech Armor in his storage space lit up. When the light faded, a glowing circular plate appeared in the storage space—that was the completed Adamantium Nanotech Armor.

Wang Bert had always been researching Nanotech Armor. Unfortunately, although he had a complete set of Nanotech Armor technology—Tony’s Nanotech Armor and Wakanda’s Vibranium Nanotech Armor—Adamantium was a new metal, and he had not had much time, so he had never succeeded.

Now, with the help of Money Power, the Adamantium Nanotech Armor had entered the world ahead of schedule.

"Putting on Nanotech Armor directly doesn’t feel cool enough."

Wang Bert thought for a moment, then silently said, background music, illusions, all of you, come out.

Clang, clang, clang…

A rousing piece of music suddenly rang out across the small island, making everyone feel as if they were in a jungle of steel. Everyone stared blankly and looked toward Wang Bert in the sky. Their instincts told them the music came from him.

At that sight, everyone froze. A large number of mechanical arms had appeared out of thin air around Wang Bert. Then, a pair of steel boots was delivered beneath his feet, while nearby mechanical arms helped tighten the screws.

That was only the beginning. As the music progressed, armor components appeared one after another. Under the control of the mechanical arms, they were rapidly fitted onto Wang Bert’s body. The entire process was filled with a mechanical, science-fiction feel that was especially pleasing to watch.

"What kind of ability is this?"

The mutants were utterly shocked. The Professor stroked his chin. Why did this scene feel a little strange? How should he put it? It did not seem real.

"Cheap theatrics."

Magneto snorted. He could not control those mechanical arms, which meant they were all illusions.

The armor was equipped extremely quickly. Moments later, a faceplate snapped onto Wang Bert’s face. Then the eye section of the faceplate lit up, and the Iron Man Armor was officially fully equipped.

Although the equipping process had been an illusion, the black-and-gold Iron Man Armor on Wang Bert’s body was completely real, formed from nano Adamantium.

Unlike the streamlined Mark Armor, Wang Bert’s armor was relatively thick and heavy, looking exceptionally imposing and dependable.

"Could there still be hope for us?"

Looking at the imposing Iron Man Armor, hope rose once more in everyone’s hearts. With such a cool entrance, surely he would not go down in three seconds, right?

"Hope this isn’t a comedy."

The president silently prayed.

"So this is your trump card, Bert Wang?"

Senator Cabo shouted, "It’s useless. The more you struggle, the more despair you’ll feel."

"You know nothing about power."

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and raised his hand. Nanoparticles formed a massive black cannon barrel. Then, Black Light appeared deep within the barrel and quickly spread upward.

Boom! The cannon fired. A pitch-black sphere struck Senator Cabo and became a black hole several meters wide. Senator Cabo’s body was uncontrollably pulled toward it.

Wang Bert could only create a black hole around half a meter wide on his own, but with the Adamantium Nanotech Armor, not to mention several meters, he could even make one dozens of meters wide.

"No!"

Senator Cabo was horrified. His tentacles rooted themselves in the void, resisting the black hole’s pull. At that moment, Wang Bert teleported beside him, and the cannon barrel in his hand transformed into a great blade, swiftly severing the tentacles with a swing.

BOSS is way too awesome, isn’t he?

Wade secretly marveled. Then, red light flared from his eyes and slammed fiercely into Senator Cabo, trying to push him into the black hole.

"You will never defeat me."

Senator Cabo roared, withdrawing the Black Qi from the hundreds of monsters. Then, that Black Qi merged in midair to form another tentacled monster, which charged at Wang Bert with a savage expression, intending to tear him to pieces.

Without the Black Qi, the hundreds of monsters simultaneously reverted into Rat Clan members and collapsed to the ground. They unwillingly raised their hands, trying to summon the Black Qi back, but it had never belonged to them. In the end, their hands fell limply to the ground, just like their lives.

"A dying struggle."

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and suddenly appeared before the tentacled monster. Then, a sharp Adamantium battle blade appeared in each of his hands.

After that, Wang Bert spun at Quicksilver speed and charged at the tentacled monster like a Blade Storm. The tentacled monster immediately swung its tentacles at Wang Bert, but every tentacle was shredded by the Blade Storm.

The tentacled monster grew afraid and tried to flee, but Wang Bert snorted and accelerated, crashing into it.

Flesh and blood immediately flew everywhere as the tentacled monster howled endlessly. Moments later, the Blade Storm stopped. Wang Bert reappeared, while the tentacled monster had already been ripped into fragments.

Then, the fragments burst apart and turned into Black Qi. Surprisingly, this Black Qi did not dissipate. It merged together, seemingly trying to regenerate.

Seeing this, Wang Bert transformed his battle blades into Lightning Cannon barrels. Then, a mass of lightning shot out with a howl and exploded amid the Black Qi.

As lightning surged in every direction, all the Black Qi was reduced to nothingness and ceased to exist.

Wang Bert rested the cannon barrel on his shoulder and calmly asked Senator Cabo, "Any more tricks? If not, please die."

"That was insanely cool!"

Cheers and applause erupted below. Bert Wang was simply too powerful, too cool. A mere Hell demon was no match for him at all.

Senator Cabo shouted in despair, "How can you possibly be this strong?"

"It’s not that I’m strong. It’s that you’re too weak."

Wang Bert said. He had only burned one hundred million dollars.

"No matter how strong you are, I will destroy the world. You can’t stop me, Bert Wang."

Senator Cabo roared furiously. His entire body exploded into Black Qi. Then, he controlled half of the Black Qi to rush into the black hole for mutual destruction, while the other half flew rapidly toward the president and the others.

Clearly, Senator Cabo intended to control the two presidents and start a nuclear war.

"Stop them!"

The Professor and Magneto shouted at the same time. Storm, Cyclops, Shockwave, and the other mutants all launched attacks at the Black Qi, causing large amounts of it to vanish.

Wang Bert and Wade were not slow either, sweeping the Black Qi with lightning. At that moment, Black Qi flew out from the bodies of the more than one hundred surviving monsters at the same time. Then, the Black Qi transformed into human faces that lunged toward the president and the others.

Clearly, this was a feint.

"No!"

The president and the others tried to run, but it was far too late. At that moment, Wang Bert appeared out of thin air before the Black Qi. He spread his hands, and endless lightning burst from his palms, turning into a net of lightning that enveloped the Black Qi faces.

Seeing this, Storm immediately drew upon the power of lightning to strengthen the net. All the faces were trapped inside it, letting out miserable screams.

"I will destroy the world! I will destroy the world… Everything is the world’s fault, not mine!"

Senator Cabo’s insane roar came from within the faces. Clearly, he was unwilling to accept this.

"No, it is your fault."

Wang Bert said calmly. At the same time, he used the Soul Secret Technique to send a wisp of his soul into Senator Cabo’s face—that was, into his soul.

Senator Cabo’s soul was filled with resentment and guilt. Wang Bert frowned and began searching Senator Cabo’s memories. Very soon, he locked onto the source of Senator Cabo’s mutation—the voice that had lured him into corruption.

"No, you did nothing wrong. The world is at fault. This damned world."

Following the voice, Wang Bert appeared in a place filled with the smell of sulfur and negative energy.

"So this really is Hell?"

Wang Bert frowned deeply. Just then, an enormous will brimming with resentment suddenly emerged and roared at Wang Bert, "Ant, how dare you spy on me?"

"Ant? You dare call me an ant?"

Wang Bert’s body expanded infinitely until even Hell could not contain him. The enormous will could not help trembling. It was a Creator God!

"Who are you?"

Wang Bert roared, making all of Hell tremble.

"I am God! No, you possess the essence of a Creator God, but your aura is very weak."

The enormous will came to its senses and shouted angrily. Wang Bert froze. God? How was that possible?

Before Wang Bert could ask anything else, his consciousness was driven back into Senator Cabo’s body. He frowned. God had actually fallen into becoming a demon? That was far too outrageous. Wait, could the truth be this?

Wang Bert stroked his chin and began reasoning—back then, Ancient One had found God and asked for his help. To protect Earth, God went to Chaotic Void to seal Mutant Planet.

Who would have thought that, at the critical moment, Ancient One had suddenly ambushed God? God was seriously injured and escaped into Mutant Planet, where he became corrupted into a demon.

That would explain why Ancient One had God’s Blood, and why God had fallen.

The truth must be this… my ass.

Wang Bert shook his head. He knew Ancient One far too well. The other man would never do such a thing.

Next, this God will probably keep causing trouble. Looks like I don’t need to find a villain for the military. This world already has villains. The Human Enhancement Potion needs to be taken back.

Wang Bert withdrew his consciousness, then said to Senator Cabo, "Senator Cabo, I’ll send you on your way."

At the brink of death, Senator Cabo regained his clarity. He gave a bitter smile and said, "May God forgive me."

"You probably won’t be going to Heaven."

Wang Bert shook his head. A Black Hole Cannon shot out, and all the Black Qi was swallowed by the black hole. Once the black hole settled, Senator Cabo was completely dead.

As soon as Senator Cabo died, Statue of Liberty immediately lost its ability to move and stood lifelessly in place.

Wolverine spat and said, "Finally got it done. I’ve really never chopped down an enemy that big before."

Yuriko said, "New York will have one less tourist attraction from now on."

Psylocke smiled. "No, they’ll definitely rebuild it."

"Everyone, congratulations on surviving."

Wang Bert withdrew his cannon barrel, turned, and shouted to the crowd, "We won."

"We won?"

Everyone froze at first, then burst into loud cheers. This damned disaster had finally ended.

"Azazel, we’re leaving."

Magneto gave Wang Bert a deep look, then spoke to Azazel. Azazel nodded and began gathering everyone.

Thinking of something, Magneto turned to look at the president. The president happened to be looking at him as well. He smiled and said, "Mr. Magneto, don’t worry. I will absolutely honor what I promised you."

"Good."

Magneto was somewhat surprised by the president’s attitude, but he said nothing more. Soon, the Brotherhood members gathered together. With a thought from Azazel, everyone vanished at once.

Meanwhile, reporters rushed beneath Wang Bert, madly taking pictures of him while asking, "Mr. Wang, is this suit of armor your ability?"

Wang Bert smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I am Iron Man."
