Marvel Shuttling the Heavens - Chapter 203
He had just watched two combat helicopters being helplessly crushed by this person, with no chance of fighting back!
Not only could Li Yue fly at supersonic speed, but he could even shoot beams of red lasers that engulfed the helicopters in flames from his head. His power was too terrifying!
“Heh, Rhodes, it wasn’t that much of a deal!” Li Yue smiled at Rhodes.
Li Yue then turned to Louise with guilt in his eyes, but found that Louise simply gave him a sweet smile. She didn’t seem to be shocked!
He had only just remembered that he forgot to take care of his lover Louise!
Moreover, to show such murderous expression in front of Louise, he wondered what she thought about him!
Fortunately, Louise seemed to be different to other girls in the movies he had seen!
…
“Don’t worry about me. I will support everything you do!”
Louise suddenly grabbed Li Yue’s hand and said softly right after he anxiously sat besides her!
Li Yue felt warmth spreading in his heart. He was touched by Louise’s words!
“Cough, Li Yue, I don’t think it’s time for romance yet! Look at that guy that Tony caught, what’s going on with him?”
A voice suddenly interrupted Li Yue’s emotional moment. He turned his attention to the virtual projection!
“This is… Extremis virus?”
Li Yue subconsciously blurted out when he saw the bald head in front of Tony started glowing orange-red!
That scene was very familiar to Li Yue! It was a special superpower drug used by villains in the movie Iron Man Three, called Extremis virus!
It was originally a drug developed by a biologist that had one-night stand with Tony. It was intended to cure disabled people and regrow broken limbs!
And due to Tony’s casual meddling on the formula, it was improved to became the Extremis virus!
However, this drug still have a serious flaw. In the best of cases, the drug would allow the recipient to freely emit heat reaching thousand of degrees. Oh, and it successfully allowed the recipient to regenerate broken limbs!
But when the drug failed to take hold, it turned the patient into human-shaped bomb, detonating them in an explosion of intense heat!
And the probability of failure was much higher than probability of success!
…
“Extremis virus? Is that the name of the drug? Li Yue, do you know about that potion?”
Banner immediately turned his attention to Li Yue!
“Let’s wait for Tony to come back first. I will explain the matter of Extremis virus to both of you in detail!”
Li Yue said in a low voice as he watched the drug fail to hold in the bald man and the man was instantly blown to pieces!
He didn’t expect the Extremis virus to appear here. Moreover, it came with the mysterious attacker with unknown identity!
“Wait, go back one, please? Am I still dreaming? Why are there so many things and people I don’t know in this world?”
Rhodes looked back and forth in confusion at Banner and Li Yue!
What is Extremis virus? And how can a person fly? The worldview that he had held for decades was shattered in mere minutes!
“Calm down, brother! Let me assure you, you won’t be feeling that way for long! Because you’ll get used to it!”
T’Challa, perhaps feeling sympathy to a fellow black man, came to Rhodes’ side and patted the colonel’s shoulder, comforting him from experience!
…
A few minutes later, Tony entered the room along with Pepper!
“Ahem, sorry to keep everyone waiting!”
Tony felt everyone’s gaze suddenly directed on him, but he ignored them and walked to his seat with Pepper. He already removed his nanoarmor.
“I trust that you have seen what just happened. Li Yue, I think you know what we’re going to ask you!”
Tony looked around at everyone after taking a seat, and stopped his eyes at Li Yue, waiting for explanation!
“Well, it’s not a big deal! The drug is called the Extremis virus! And the one responsible for it was you, Tony!”
Li Yue glanced at Tony and Pepper, mischief in his eyes!
“What, me? How come I didn’t know about it?”
Tony was stunned by Li Yue’s words. He carefully searched his memories, but he couldn’t find anything about this drug!
“Yes, you! It was just a decade ago! Don’t you remember? In 1999, you attended a party where you met a beautiful biologist and—”
“Cough, Li Yue, stop! We were just talking about purely academic research!”
Tony immediately sensed danger when he heard Li Yue’s words. And then he felt the air temperature drop. He quickly interrupted Li Yue!
“Tony, why don’t you tell us about this biologist?”
Pepper’s voice was dripping with jealousy, and not even Tony could miss it. He glared at Li Yue: what have you done!
…
Pepper already knew about Tony’s personality, so she knew that something indescribable must have happened. Still, she didn’t hold to the jealousy and let them move on!
After that, Li Yue explained everything about Extremis virus to everyone, and about the enemy that most likely sent those criminals in the helicopter: Killian!
“Killian? I think we worked together before, but I haven’t heard of him in years!”
Pepper exclaimed in surprise when she heard Li Yue mention that name!
“Indeed, Miss Potts, you should have known him. It’s just that…Killian shouldn’t mess with you for another two years. I don’t know why he’s here now!”
However, Li Yue was also a bit puzzled. The appearance of the villains seem to be accelerated!
“Hehe, don’t worry too much about this. That son of a bitch can’t do jack shit to me! I will show him the consequences of going against the great Iron Man!”
Tony learned from Li Yue that Killian was an enemy he was supposed to fight two years in the future in his original destiny.
Tony was not too worried. He had gained so much strength in such a short time period, including the nanoarmor and the magnetic control ability. He didn’t think that Killian would prove to be any problem to him at all!
…
“That explosion seems to be our diversion! What should we do now? Should we move according to the plan?”
“Move my ass! Those trash cans can’t divert jack shit. We should give up for now and wait for another opportunity! Tony Stark’s laboratory isn’t just any random lab!”
Among the guests in the banquet, a pair of man and woman were whispering to each other as they prepared to leave the villa!
Their words explained their objective: to sneak into Tony’s laboratory while the helicopters distracted him with the chaos!
They never expected that six combat helicopters would be destroyed in less than a minute!
