Let’s talk about two things. After leaving the battlefield, Steel Man flew towards the seaside, his red figure streaking through the sky like a shooting star.
Soon, Steel Man arrived above the ocean, hovering in the sky and looking down. The ocean at night was calm and tranquil, vast and impressive, giving a sense of awe.
It was as if Steel Man had a specific destination in mind. He didn’t stop when he reached the ocean but flew rapidly in a particular direction.
After about half an hour, a small reef suddenly appeared in the deep sea ahead.
Steel Man arrived over the reef, extended his hand, and pointed downward. Instantly, a laser shot out and penetrated the reef.
Then, Steel Man calmly hovered in the air.
A mont later, the sea area suddenly shook violently, as if sothing terrifying was erging from beneath the water.
Then, the sea began to churn, and gradually, a massive tallic island erged from beneath the waves.
Click.
With a light sound, a line appeared down the middle of the massive tallic island, and then two huge tal blocks opened to the sides, revealing a passageway.
It was a staircase extending downward into the depths.
It seed to be a base!
A base hidden in the ocean, brimming with technological presence.
Seeing this, Steel Man breathed a sigh of relief, landed on the stairs, and prepared to walk down.
However, just as he took a step, his body suddenly went rigid, and his expression changed drastically.
"Damn!"
Boom!
With a loud noise, Steel Man’s steel armor, the Mark suit, suddenly shattered and disintegrated.
Without the support of the Mark suit, Steel Man lost his stability, staggered, and rolled down the stairs, coming to a stop at the bottom. At this point, he was covered in blood and in a pitiful state.
Inside the base, the staff heard the noise and rushed over. Upon seeing Steel Man lying on the ground, mangled and bloody, they were all shocked and hurriedly helped him up.
A few others picked up the scattered pieces of the Mark suit from the stairs, and then everyone headed deeper into the base.
"Take for treatnt first," said Steel Man weakly as he was being helped.
During the previous battle, even though he was inside the armor, many of Xiao Zheng’s attacks still penetrated the armor and injured his body. So, naturally, he was quite weak at this mont.
"Yes."
The others nodded quickly and took Steel Man into a room with a large nutrient tank filled with a thick white liquid.
They placed Steel Man into the nutrient tank, closed the lid, and pressed a few buttons.
Buzz.
The nutrient tank lit up instantly, with layers of mysterious energy surging out, giving a sense of vibrant vitality.
"Ah..."
Subsequently, a series of painful screams ca from the nutrient tank. The people around, however, showed no surprise as if they had expected this.
About half an hour later, soone walked over, pressed a button on the nutrient tank, and the lid opened imdiately. Others quickly stepped forward to retrieve Steel Man.
Now, looking at him, Steel Man appeared uninjured, and not only that, but his whole deanor seed to have changed, exuding vitality.
"Hahaha, the effect of this nutrient fluid is fantastic. Despite the severe injuries, I’ve recovered in such a short ti," laughed Steel Man.
Then, he ordered a few people to dry him off and help him get dressed. Finally, he asked, "Are Red Giant and the others still in the base?"
One person respectfully replied, "As soon as you arrived, we inford the other superheroes. They are all waiting for you in the base’s living room."
"Very well."
Steel Man nodded, left the room, and headed to the living room, where he saw Red Giant, Black Ji, and a few others already present.
"Steel Man, you’re healed?" Everyone gathered around upon seeing Steel Man, asking eagerly, "How did the battle go?"
At this, Steel Man smiled wryly and said, "The Evil God’s power is too formidable. We fought a great battle, and I even used my mini dagger bomb, but it was ineffective. In the end, I had no choice but to retreat.
And just as I entered the base, my Mark suit shattered completely. It must have been broken in the previous fight with the Evil God!"
"What?"
Hearing Steel Man’s words, everyone was visibly shocked. Among them, Steel Man was one of the strongest, yet he had t with such a setback.
"Exactly how terrifying is this martial power that even our Demon Shield Bureau’s most advanced technology couldn’t suppress it?" Black Ji couldn’t help but frown.
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Steel Man’s failure was unexpected, and the breaking of the Mark suit even more so.
Only Red Giant remained unconvinced, saying coldly, "If it were a one-on-one fight, I’d beat him so bad his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!"
The last battle had been a mixed blessing for Red Giant.
After returning to the base, she discovered she could better control her frenzy state. Entering this state now would greatly boost her power, making her significantly more formidable.
Upon hearing Red Giant’s words, Steel Man shook his head and said solemnly, "Do not underestimate the Evil God. He is not weak. During our fight, it was clear he was holding back and not using his full strength."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Not using full strength? Even without it, he managed to force Steel Man to retreat... This was almost unimaginable.
Although they were reluctant to believe it, they knew Steel Man’s judgnt was impeccable and honest, making them all feel a heavy weight in their hearts.
"Moreover,"
At this mont, Steel Man continued, "Do you think Huaxia only has one young powerhouse like the Evil God? As far as I know, Dugu Baitian of the Futu, who previously tead up with the Evil God to repel you, Red Giant, is no weaker than the Evil God!"
