Chapter 457 Escaped Experiment Subject, and Fierce Battle with Red Omega
Adamantium was researched and developed in the 1940s by an unknown Doctor at the invitation of the US Government. It is the hardest known alloy material in the World.
The reason for saying "unknown" is because it's Secret, even Howard, a helper of that Level, isn't allowed to know this Secret.
The Government is afraid of this powerful alloy being leaked, which is not allowed. But in this World, there's no airtight Wall. The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.
During a Mutant Experiment that Howard was aware of, the Military injected the best Adamantium into a Mutant's Body, intending to create a Bio-weapon.
This Experiment had been conducted many times, but all failed because the subjects couldn't withstand the Metal poisoning from Adamantium, or couldn't endure the pain of replacing Body parts.
Until the appearance of a Mutant with extremely strong Recovery Ability, Howard had never seen a Superhuman with such powerful Recovery Ability. The subject underwent many Experiments and was almost considered to have an immortal Level of Recovery Ability.
Until that Mutant was pushed onto the Operating Table, everyone thought this Experiment would definitely succeed. But the result was shocking to everyone. The Mutant unexpectedly died on the Operating Table.
The moment they saw the Heartbeat stop, all the Researchers broke down. But even if they were in no Mood, they had to retrieve the injected Adamantium. That was Supplies that couldn't be abandoned, and it could be said to be as important as everyone's lives present.
But when the Mutant's Corpse was being taken to the Autopsy Room, the Mutant suddenly Revived. He gained even greater Power thanks to the Adamantium injected into his Body, and taking advantage of everyone's relaxed vigilance, he suddenly launched an Attack and rightfully escaped the Research Institute.
The escape of the most precious Experiment Subject along with the most precious alloy materials was an immense blow to the Government. The Security Chief of that Research Institute, unable to bear this Responsibility, reportedly committed suicide by Gun the day after the Experiment Subject escaped.
Furthermore, it's unknown which Spy leaked the information, but this matter became a well-known Secret. In the years since the Experiment Subject escaped, it seems he has been captured by more than one Faction, and various Fake Adamantium Alloy imitations have emerged sporadically.
Although these imitations are not comparable to real Adamantium, this is still not what the Government wants to see. They decisively dispatched Agents or the Army to eliminate these Factions, hoping to find the escaped Experiment Subject in the Base of some Faction, but without exception, they found nothing.
Under the Official violent suppression, even Factions that possessed Adamantium Technology would no longer dare to show it off. And the Official also knew that the Secret they had guarded for so long would sooner or later become a Joke.
Therefore, Howard was not surprised that MODOK could produce Adamantium. Sub-grade Adamantium Alloy was practically becoming common in the black market. A lot had already leaked out before those Factions were destroyed.
Although some were recovered, it was just a drop in the bucket. Even Howard had hidden some in his Secret Room, and he would study this top Secret when he had Time.
What shocked Howard was that the Mutant in front of him could actually resist the damage of Adamantium to his Body. It seemed the opponent also possessed considerable Recovery Ability. He just didn't know how it compared to that Experiment Subject. If it was also near immortal, then tonight he might be in serious trouble.
Furthermore, Falcon had changed from a muscular strongman to that emaciated and hunched appearance. The opponent must be hiding some deliberate Ability. It was best to minimize contact with him.
In a flash of Electric Light, Howard made up his mind. He raised his Palm and fired two Impact Beams, blasting away the Red Omega who was pouncing on him. Then, once again, he aimed the Machine Gun on his left Shoulder Armor and the Gatling Gun on his right Shoulder Armor at Red Omega lying on the Ground.
"Da da da da!"
The roar of Metal Storm was deafening. Such powerful firepower, not to mention a person, even an Armored Car would be torn to shreds. But Red Omega, taking the brunt of it, actually stood up amidst the hail of bullets.
Howard's Heart sank. He immediately controlled the Shoulder Armor on his Shoulders to open, revealing two Missile Nests like honeycombs. Dozens of Mini Missiles poured out, all targeting Red Omega.
Facing the incoming Missiles, Red Omega let out a strange cry. A total of six Tentacles burst out from his Back, six on each side, plus the two on his hands, making a total of eight Tentacles waving in the Air at the same Time.
Instantly, a Protection net composed of alloy Tentacles enveloped Red Omega. Those powerful Missiles, hitting the Adamantium, only produced Smoke and achieved nothing.
The constantly waving alloy Tentacles swept away the Smoke. Relying on the support of the alloy Tentacles on his Back, Red Omega, like an Octopus, rushed to Howard's side in the blink of an Eye.
Howard gasped for breath. For some Reason, he had been feeling increasingly tired since just now. He had only been fighting for a few minutes, but he felt like he had run a marathon.
Facing the Red Omega pouncing like a Beast, Howard had to brace himself. He gathered the Energy of his Armor in his chest, and a Cluster Cannon directly hit Red Omega's chest.
"Ahhhhh!"
To Howard's horror, under the Attack of the Cluster Cannon, Red Omega didn't retreat an inch. He used his eight Tentacles to deeply embed themselves into the Ceiling, Wall, and Floor in all directions. He actually moved forward instead of backward under the Cluster Cannon's force, using the pulling force of the alloy Tentacles to pull himself towards Howard.
Howard realized this was bad. He immediately increased the Power of the Cluster Cannon. This was his Opportunity. He could take advantage of the opponent's insane Personality to eliminate Red Omega, who was taking the Cluster Cannon head-on, in one fell swoop.
He knew the Cluster Cannon was the most powerful Armament he had. If even this couldn't destroy Red Omega, he would have no choice but to quickly find his son Tony and escape.
"Ahhh!"
Red Omega kept roaring. The Armor on his chest had already melted into Molten Iron, and a burnt smell emanated from his Body. Howard, mentally exhausted, bit his tongue and exerted himself fiercely.
"Jarvis, connect the Backup Energy of the launching Rocket!"
As Howard gave the order, the Back of the Armor he was wearing opened, revealing two Cables that connected to the Rockets originally mounted on the Armor. A large amount of Energy was transmitted to the Armor along the Cables.
"Buzz!"
The Cluster Cannon on his chest suddenly doubled in thickness. Howard had to deploy his Jetpack to resist the thrust from the Technology Cannon. Red Omega was also submerged in the Power of the Cluster Cannon. The thick Energy Pillar shattered the Wall of the Auditorium and shot straight into the Sky.
