When one finds a beloved toy, one always can't help but beco engrossed in it.
It's like soone who just learned to drive; no matter where they go, they want to drive there, even if the distance is only a few hundred ters.
Right now, Rimuru was sowhat addicted to piloting the ch. The feeling of soaring through the sky was simply too wonderful, making her unable to extricate herself.
However, just then, her phone rang, and the caller ID showed Pepper Potts.
"Hi, Pepper, good evening!"
"Rimuru, I've called Tony several tis and he hasn't answered. I'm a bit worried about him. But I can't get away right now—could I trouble you to go ho and check on him?"
Tony Stark didn't have many friends. Colonel Rhodes was one, and Rimuru was another.
But compared to Rhodes, Rimuru—who possessed the Wind God ch—was undoubtedly the best choice.
Rimuru was startled and quickly said, "Pepper, what are you doing right now? You're not taking Agents to catch Obadiah, are you?"
"How did you know?" Pepper was incredibly surprised.
Rimuru urgently said, "Don't worry about how I know, just leave quickly! No matter how many Agents you bring, it's useless. Obadiah has also made a suit of armor!"
"What?!"
"Oh my God!"
"It's too late. We've already seen that big guy Obadiah made. He's chasing !"
"Oh no, Rimuru—hurry and find Tony! He's the only one who can defeat this thing… static"
The call suddenly ended in a busy signal. It seed Pepper was desperately fleeing.
Pepper was Iron Man's official girlfriend, with a powerful halo and flashy movents, so she should be fine.
Now, should Rimuru go to Tony Stark's place first?
Rimuru changed direction, heading straight for the Stark Industries R&D Center.
Tony Stark was the famous Iron Man; in terms of plot armor, Tony was definitely stronger.
Moreover, at this very mont, Pepper was facing the Iron Monger's pursuit!
Just as Rimuru was soaring through the sky in the Wind God, at a U.S. military base, several radars simultaneously detected her presence.
Not long ago, Tony piloted the Mark III to Afghanistan to strike terrorists, causing an F22 to crash. Because of that, the military's aerial surveillance had been heavily upgraded.
Rimuru was caught in the crossfire because of this!
"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, that unidentified flying object has been detected again. The F22 is taking off to intercept!"
"Wait!"
Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes imdiately beca anxious upon hearing this.
Others might not know, but he knew that this so-called unidentified flying object was his good friend, Tony Stark.
"That's just routine flight training. Maintain vigilance as usual."
"Yes, sir!"
Although the soldiers were puzzled, they still followed orders.
Pepper ran desperately out of the R&D Center. The Agents inside continuously fired at the Iron Monger, but the bullets bounced off its steel armor—only a few sparks appeared, having no effect whatsoever.
On the contrary, several Agents were wiped out within a few blinks of an eye.
"God, is Obadiah crazy?"
Obadiah, as a major shareholder of Stark Industries, had status, position, and countless wealth.
Pepper couldn't understand why he would do this!
Before, he had betrayed Tony and caused him to be captured by terrorists, which could still be attributed to a power struggle.
But now, he was rampaging in the Iron Monger—didn't he consider the consequences at all?
Being small also had its advantages. Doorways Pepper could slip through were impossible for the Iron Monger to fit through.
This bought Pepper precious ti to escape, and she successfully ran outside the R&D Center.
Pepper took out her phone and called Tony. Before she could say much, the ground in front of her suddenly shattered.
Boom!
The Iron Monger's hideous head burst out of the ground. Just its head alone was the size of Pepper's entire body.
Not to ntion, its arm was equipped with a Gatling gun, and its deterrent effect was overwhelming.
Facing this monster, Pepper's body stiffened completely—she couldn't move at all.
The Iron Monger aid its machine gun at Pepper. "It's over, Pepper. You can't escape!"
Was she going to die?
Pepper Potts' heart was in her throat!
But just then, a silver-white light descended from the sky, smashing into the Iron Monger's head with a punch.
With a loud boom, the entire ground trembled. The Iron Monger was smashed directly into the earth, forming a crater the size of several rooms.
The impact, like a fireball slamming into the ground, carried imnse kinetic energy, stirring up a strong gust of wind that made Pepper's clothes flutter wildly. She instinctively shielded herself with her arms.
Seconds later, when Pepper opened her eyes again, she realized that a silver-white ch was hovering in front of her.
Wind God. It was Rimuru!
In an instant, Pepper couldn't help but smile as reassurance welled up inside her.
Before, she hadn't understood why Tony and Rimuru were so obsessed with these huge chs—now, she understood a little.
"Pepper, go sowhere safer first. I'll handle things here!"
Pepper frowned. The Iron Monger's size and the Wind God's size weren't even comparable. Could Rimuru really defeat it?
But now was not the ti to say such things. A smart woman always knew when to advance together and when to retreat decisively.
This was not the ti to ask questions or hold Rimuru back!
Pepper imdiately ran back into the R&D Center. She had barely taken a few steps when the recovering Iron Monger burst out of the ground.
"Rimuru? You're that blue-haired girl ntioned in the intel, aren't you? I didn't expect you to also have a ch. But you shouldn't interfere in the grievances between Tony and ."
Obadiah raised the Iron Monger's arm, aiming to destroy Rimuru's Wind God with the machine gun.
Da da da da da!
Bullets poured out, tearing up the ground and walls. Wherever they hit, bowl-sized holes appeared.
But Obadiah helplessly discovered that the bullets' speed couldn't keep up with Rimuru's silver-white ch.
Damn it! Why was her ch so fast?
"Rat, do you only know how to run?"
"Run? Not anymore!"
Rimuru smiled and suddenly stopped, no longer moving at high speed.
Obadiah laughed wildly. Still young—she couldn't stand provocation. Just a small taunt, and she gave up her greatest advantage.
But the next second, Obadiah was horrified to find that the Iron Monger's feet and arms were moving sluggishly—almost unable to move at all.
Upon closer inspection, he was startled to realize that, at so point, his entire Iron Monger had been wrapped in nearly transparent, thin threads.
Did Rimuru bind him while dodging bullets?!
Her cunning was terrifying!
But he still wouldn't panic. "Do you think these threads can restrain ? My Iron Monger can hit cars aside like bowling pins!"
The Iron Monger exerted force, and one by one, the sticky steel threads snapped with sharp tallic clanks.
It successfully broke free, but just then, Obadiah realized Rimuru was gone!
Where did she go? Did she flee?
"Are you looking for ?"
The mont he heard her voice behind him, Obadiah—even inside the Iron Monger—felt his scalp go numb.
How was this possible?!
How could a ch be so fast?
When did she get behind him?
The only thing that reassured Obadiah was the Iron Monger's extrely thick armor. Earlier, the Wind God had fallen from the sky with terrifying kinetic energy, yet it only managed to smash him into the ground.
Speed without power was aningless!
Even a sneak attack could only tickle him!
But then, a high-frequency sound wave burst forth. Even with the Iron Monger's heavy dampening, Obadiah felt like his head exploded.
In an instant, Obadiah bled from all seven orifices and fell backward.
Boom!
The Iron Monger crashed to the ground, instantly forming a massive crater.
Pepper, peeking from the shadows, opened her mouth into a perfect O—almost big enough to fit an apple.
From beginning to end, Rimuru had led the Iron Monger by the nose…
And now she had taken down this massive monster in one strike.
How was this possible?
This had to be a joke!
