Chapter 463 Soul Sword Forging
Howard, tormented by the Death Factor, was treated by Gutrot's ability and had all the Death Factor in his body neutralized. However, a human is not a machine; it's not like replacing a mechanical part can make them work immediately after a malfunction.
That's why the extremely exhausted Howard chose to rest directly under the ruins. Firstly, to recover his stamina, and secondly, to put on a show of suffering for those big shots above, to avoid them causing him trouble later.
*I've been beaten down like this; even if you're extreme, you can't immediately settle accounts with me, right?*
Howard had a clear awareness of this. He knew that he was still useful to both the government and the military. As long as he had a reasonable reason and hadn't made any major mistakes, then the reckoning wouldn't fall on him.
And so, Howard, feeling secure and unafraid, began a rare rest, until…
"Dad?"
Tony looked at the ruins before him, and based on the information from other adults who had escaped, he learned that his father Howard was still trapped under these ruins and hadn't come out yet.
Without time to think, Tony rushed to the edge of the ruins and began using the detector mounted on his armor to search for Howard's position.
"Master Tony, actually…"
"Don't talk nonsense, Jarvis. Quickly help me locate my Dad's position."
Anxious, Tony immediately interrupted Jarvis. He was almost roaring as he ordered it. At this moment, there was no trace of Tony's usual cynicism on his face. He himself hadn't even noticed that his lips were bitten until they bled.
"Yes, Master Tony."
According to the most basic logic of its creation, Jarvis had to obey the orders of Howard and Tony. Therefore, Jarvis had no choice but to first follow Tony's order and immediately marked Howard's position.
Seeing Jarvis being so efficient, Tony couldn't help but feel happy. The faster the action, the more likely Howard was to be saved. At this moment, Tony had completely regarded Howard as a seriously injured patient who couldn't save himself.
Worry for his family made him panic, completely forgetting that even if Howard couldn't move, Jarvis could assist in controlling the armor to rescue himself.
However, saying this is a bit too presumptuous. After all, not many people would choose to be trapped under ruins and not escape. So, it's no wonder Tony was thinking wildly.
Tony obtained Howard's accurate position and immediately maneuvered the armor to dig in the direction of the position. A few minutes later, after Tony pushed away a huge stone slab, he finally saw that familiar blue color, which was the paint of Howard's armor.
Tony was overjoyed. At the same time, the badly damaged armor also strengthened Tony's judgment that his dad was injured. Didn't he see that there was a big hole in the place where the black box was stored? It must have been caused during the battle.
"Hold on! Dad!"
Tony sped up his hand movements. With the help of the armor, in just a few seconds, Tony cleared all the building debris from Howard's body. Then, he immediately pulled Howard's upper body up and let him lean against his own body.
Howard, who was originally sleeping soundly, was immediately awakened by this sudden movement. Howard was even scared into a cold sweat. If he hadn't seen the familiar mask in front of him, he might have directly fired the cluster cannon.
"Dad, how are you, Dad?"
Because Howard was still in a dazed state from being suddenly awakened, he didn't respond to Tony's calls immediately. This made Tony, who was just in the joy of finding him, nervous again.
"Clang! Clang!"
Tony shook Howard, who was wearing armor. Due to battle damage, the armor on Howard's body made a sound similar to a train running over rails under the violent shaking, almost making Howard vomit.
"Bang!"
Howard slapped Tony on the head, making a sound like a triangle.
"I'm fine, but if you shake me for a while longer, you can directly inherit Stark Industries."
Howard pushed Tony away irritably. Since he had already been dug out, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. He opened his faceplate and began to breathe in the fresh air.
Howard saw Tony's embarrassment and took the lead to stand up and said to his son.
"Let's go. Now that the danger is over, let's go have some food first. I didn't eat anything at the ball."
"Uh, okay…"
"Remember to call Xue Xi."
"Okay!"
…
"What is this thing?" Gwen saw Yang Le tinkering with something in the laboratory as soon as she returned home. Curious, she walked closer and found it was a somewhat deformed adult male skeleton.
Seeing this thing suddenly appear in front of her, even the battle-hardened Gwen couldn't help but frown and asked, "What did you bring this thing home for? Do you have an alien form that can use necromancy?"
"You know what, I actually do." Yang Le maneuvered the swivel chair to turn around. "But I brought this thing back not for any skeleton soldier."
"Then what is it for?" Gwen asked curiously.
Yang Le picked up a finger bone and said, "The substance that makes up this skeleton is called Adamantium, one of the hardest substances on Earth. I want to analyze its structure and then create some peculiar gadgets."
"Let me make it clear first, I don't want things made of bone." Gwen waved her hand in disgust.
Yang Le originally wanted to say a Hell Joke about Americans and Indians, but when he thought that Gwen really disliked these things, he just shrugged and swallowed the joke back.
"Don't worry, I don't like it either. Once I've analyzed the composition of Adamantium, I'll find a place to bury this bone."
Although Adamantium is precious, it's not something that can't be manufactured. As long as Grey Matter analyzes its structure, Yang Le can replicate a large amount of it. In Yang Le's view, this thing is far less powerful than the N Metal of the DC Universe.
After all, N Metal is not only indestructible, but it can even provide amplification to the holder, and this amplification is not small. Simply put, it can turn an ordinary person into a superhuman of similar strength to Luke Cage, and there are no particularly serious side effects.
The only weakness might be that if the N Metal is not nearby, the superpower will disappear, but it's not a big problem.
In comparison, Adamantium only has the characteristic of being indestructible. For Yang Le and Gwen, it's like chicken ribs – tasteless to eat but a pity to discard, but having it is always better than nothing.
In fact, compared to weapons made of Adamantium, Magik's Soul Blade is more attractive to Yang Le. If there is an opportunity, he must get this technology into his hands.
Speaking of Soul Sword Forging and Adamantium, Yang Le suddenly thought of a character, another character who uses Soul Sword Forging.
