Marvel's Kryptonian Scientist Chapter 300 300

"Where's it going to land?"

Steve Rogers' expression hardened as he stared at the incoming trajectory data.

The researcher at the console looked up in panic.

"The projected impact site is… S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters!"

Nobody in the room found that entirely surprising.

The headquarters had been built atop what used to be New York City, and sohow, every alien invasion in the universe seed magnetically attracted to New York.

Even after the city was gone, the curse apparently remained.

Nick Fury imdiately turned toward Tony Stark.

"You got any ergency shield technology hidden away sowhere?"

For once, Fury actually sounded hopeful.

Tony looked personally offended by reality.

"If I started designing one right now, maybe I'd have sothing functional in a few months."

He rubbed his forehead irritably.

Truthfully, he'd never expected anything to survive Lucy's recoil cannon in the first place.

A few minutes later, the object arrived exactly where the calculations predicted.

S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters.

Although the thing visibly slowed before impact, the landing still shook the entire complex. The ground cracked apart beneath the force, dust and debris erupting into the air like a localized earthquake.

Fortunately, once the impact zone had been identified, evacuation procedures had already begun.

Casualties remained minimal.

The most seriously injured person had apparently been blasted backward by the shockwave hard enough to break his left pinky toe.

Judging by the man's screaming, you would've thought he'd lost a limb.

Only after the dust settled did everyone finally see what had descended from space.

A humanoid figure stood atop the smoking teorite.

Golden armor.

A flowing cape.

Radiant light pouring off its body like a miniature sun.

If this had happened in ancient tis, humanity probably would've fallen to its knees and called it a god.

Modern Earth reacted sowhat differently.

Every weapon in range imdiately locked onto the target.

Drex Valen watched remotely as well.

With his vision and analytical abilities, filtering out the blinding golden aura was effortless.

The figure beneath beca perfectly clear.

"Avengers, move out!"

Steve raised his shield instinctively.

Despite evolving into sothing closer to a living battleship than a normal superhuman, he still refused to fight without it.

The golden figure raised one hand.

Twin beams of golden energy erupted outward.

The attacks resembled concentrated blades of pure sunlight, carving through everything in their path. Buildings split apart instantly. Entire structures collapsed as though sliced by invisible divine swords.

The figure walked calmly through the city while swinging those beams like paired weapons of mass destruction.

Nothing survived direct contact.

At that mont, the Avengers finally arrived on the battlefield.

"Stop!"

Steve landed first, already preparing to throw his shield.

The golden being slowly turned its head toward them.

Then casually flicked a hand.

A blinding wave of golden light exploded toward the heroes.

Watching the attack through a monitor and facing it in person were completely different experiences.

The instant that light locked onto them, everyone felt their instincts screaming.

Steve dodged imdiately without hesitation.

Behind him, Natasha yanked the controls of the Quinjet upward at the last second. The aircraft barely avoided the blast.

The beam punched through a skyscraper behind them.

The impact zone didn't explode.

It vanished.

A perfectly circular hole was carved clean through the center of the two-hundred-story building, the surrounding material vaporized instantly.

"Listen up!" Tony shouted over the comms. "Do not let that thing touch you!"

His scanners were going insane.

"The energy output on those beams is ridiculous. Honestly, I'm not even sure Cap's shield could survive a direct hit!"

Nobody retreated.

That option simply didn't exist for people like them.

Unlike the scattered vigilantes and random enhanced individuals running around the world, the Avengers at least knew how to fight together now. Years of combat experience had finally forged genuine teamwork.

Tony fired recoil blasts from multiple angles, attempting to pressure the enemy from all sides.

The attacks were ignored completely.

Then the golden figure vanished.

Tony reacted instantly.

A shield ford in front of him before his conscious mind even processed the danger.

Drex narrowed his eyes slightly.

Interesting.

Tony's armor had evolved again.

The underlying concept ca from monitoring microscopic changes in body temperature, muscle tension, neural signals, and even heat released from pores across the skin.

The symbiotic tal armor could predict incoming danger based on subconscious biological reactions and environntal fluctuations, allowing it to automatically reinforce vulnerable areas before impact occurred.

An adaptive reflex-defense system.

A true biochanical armor.

The internal layer consisted of protein-infused morphic tal capable of instant structural reconfiguration.

The theoretical foundation for technology like this had existed for decades among the world's top scientific minds.

But theory and reality were two very different things.

Actually making it work required absurd amounts of research and engineering.

Even then, the armor still depended heavily on the wearer's perception and reaction speed. Without ntal guidance, it could only rely on passive defensive prediction based on airflow and environntal changes.

Which ant Tony probably wasn't the one controlling it directly.

Drex imdiately guessed the answer.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

Tony had likely turned the AI into the armor's central predictive processor.

Honestly, Drex almost felt bad for the armor.

A system that advanced really deserved a better pilot.

The golden enemy clearly hadn't encountered this kind of automatic defense technology before.

But raw power solved everything.

Its fist slamd into Tony's shield hard enough to visibly cave the symbiotic armor inward.

Tony rocketed backward like a missile, crashing into S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters hard enough to shake the building.

Fortunately, the structure had originally been reinforced during Drex Valen's tenure as director.

The wall sohow held.

No cracks.

No collapse.

anwhile, Hulk, Red Hulk, and the other heavy hitters charged the intruder from all directions in typical smash-first fashion.

The result was humiliating.

One punch.

One kick.

Bodies flew everywhere.

The enemy dismantled them effortlessly.

Tony stared in disbelief.

Only Steve Rogers could reliably hold his ground in direct combat, relying on his shield and overwhelming physical strength to exchange blows evenly with the golden warrior.

But then the enemy casually waved one hand.

A flash of golden light tore across the battlefield.

The Avengers' formation shattered instantly.

The beam swept through two entire city blocks in a straight line. Streets split apart. Towers of fla erupted skyward. Buildings along the attack path were sliced cleanly in half.

And the golden figure still didn't look like it was taking the fight seriously.
