Chapter 459 Death Factor
"So you found out." MODOK laughed heartily, not at all frustrated by being exposed, but rather looking at Howard triumphantly.
"Telling you wouldn't hurt either. Red Omega also has an extremely special ability, which I call Death Factor."
MODOK slowly landed beside the Falcon, who was deader than dead. He used one hand to lift up the corpse, which was like a withered tree branch. The Falcon's equipment also fell off and dropped to the ground because it didn't fit properly.
"I discovered this special factor in the fifth experiment. Creatures other than its master will gradually weaken after coming into contact with this factor, and prolonged contact may even lead to death."
"Your friend is the best particle. To actually choose to make close contact with Red Omega is utter foolishness. To have all of his life energy absorbed is the best ending for him."
Howard gasped for breath. After MODOK's explanation, he finally understood why his body had become like this.
However, according to time calculations, the Falcon's body was weakening much faster than his own. This might be thanks to the life support system of his armor.
His fully enclosed armor, plus the internal life support system, was the only reason he had lasted this long. Otherwise, his ending would likely have been the same as the Falcon's, losing his life in just a few minutes due to declining physical fitness and being caught in a weakness by the opponent.
But he was also nearing his limit. Injecting more adrenaline in his current state would be useless. Not only that, but it was also very likely that injecting excessive adrenaline would take his life.
It seemed he was going to capsize in the gutter today. Howard couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had known the opponent's ability was so troublesome, he would have run away first. But now, it was all his fault for staying here to act like a hero, and now he was going to lose his life.
Watching Red Omega gradually approach him, the first thing Howard thought of at this last moment of life wasn't his billions of dollars, but his son Tony. He didn't know if Tony could escape this disaster.
When Howard thought of his son, a power actually surged from his body. He bit his tongue fiercely, and the taste of blood instantly filled his entire mouth. A hint of ferocity and madness appeared on his face, hidden by his helmet.
Howard prepared to detonate his armor. Although the armor itself didn't have this function, as long as he overloaded the cluster cannon of the armor, the energy with nowhere to vent would accumulate and become an extremely terrifying bomb.
But even so, Howard didn't have a 100% certainty of killing Red Omega. However, this explosion with the power of a small nuclear bomb, even if it couldn't kill the opponent, could still buy a lot of time. This place was a certain distance from the venue of the student ball. As long as Howard controlled the energy well, it wouldn't threaten that side.
It was just that everyone in the auditorium would have to be buried with him, but this didn't matter to Howard. In his eyes, everyone in the world was not as important as his and Tony's life. Now that he couldn't survive, he would try every method to save Tony's life.
"Jarvis, launch a set of spare armor towards Tony's position," Howard whispered to the artificial intelligence. Although the explosion was unlikely to affect Tony's side, Howard could feel more at ease with the protection of the armor.
"Come on, you mongrel dog!" Howard's face was ferocious as he waited for Red Omega to step into the trap he had set.
"Tss!" A sound like a tire deflating rang out. A wisp of blue smoke emerged from somewhere unknown and gradually spread throughout the auditorium. Although this smoke was large in quantity, it wasn't enough to block the line of sight. The line of sight of the people in the auditorium was basically unaffected.
"What is this thing?" MODOK noticed the change in the environment. He immediately raised his position and activated the mask function of the aircraft under his butt. A huge mask that could cover his entire face covered him, and MODOK instantly wrapped himself up tightly.
He was afraid these things were some kind of poison gas that would take his life. After all, he didn't have self-healing ability.
Howard also noticed these blue smoke, but at this time, he didn't have the energy to care about these suddenly appearing unknown smoke. He secretly vowed that no matter what else came, he would not stop detonating the bomb.
But gradually, Howard discovered that his breathing was becoming easier and easier. The body panel on his helmet gave him the most direct answer: his various indicators were gradually recovering, slowly, but indeed recovering.
Silently stopping the energy gathering of the cluster cannon, Howard felt he could wait a little longer. Anyway, the overload time of the cluster cannon was very short. If worst came to worst, he could just start over.
As the possessor of the ability, Red Omega, whose body constantly secreted Death Factor, could most directly feel the restraint of these blue smoke on his ability. He could feel that his Death Factor had just been expelled from his body and would be neutralized by these blue smoke.
"Da, da, da." Steady footsteps came. Relying on his superhuman reaction ability, Red Omega immediately looked in the direction of the sound. He wanted to see who exactly could restrain his proud ability.
That was an unknown creature with a robust build. The other party's exposed skin was purple, and they were wearing a black and white interwoven uniform. There was a transparent area on their belly, and one could clearly see the blue smoke churning inside.
This was Yang Le, who had transformed into Upchuck. Just as Howard had guessed, some situations had indeed arisen on the student side, but because Gwen and he were both there, they were quickly suppressed.
Yang Le, worried that something might also go wrong here, discussed it with Gwen and came here alone, leaving Gwen to clean up the aftermath herself.
As expected, as soon as Yang Le arrived, he saw Red Omega, known for his ferocity and strangeness. Although there were also superhuman enemy on the student side, they were clearly no match for the one in front of him.
After seeing Red Omega's symbol-like appearance, he immediately transformed into Upchuck, who could restrain the opponent's Death Factor.
Upchuck's chemical ability was unreasonable. Even healing potion that appeared in fantasy books or games could be concocted, and by the way, rejuvenation potion could of course also be.
Therefore, a small Death Factor was just a piece of cake for Upchuck, even a bit of overkill. After all, there were actually quite a few alien hero who could resist the opponent's Death Factor, but Upchuck was the only one who could protect passerby from harm.
"What are you! How dare you ruin my good deed!" MODOK, seeing the duck in his mouth fly away, was instantly enraged. The purple gem on his forehead lit up with a strange light again.
"Ignore Howard for now. Red Omega, kill that monster for me!"
Under MODOK's command, Red Omega abandoned Howard, who was close at hand, and instead pounced towards Yang Le.
