Marvel Super Armor

It was like a Balrog escaping from hell venting the rage that had been imprisoned for many years, roaring to burn everything in the world.

The violent flow of energy particles and red flames swept through the narrow alley. The brick walls that had been damp and cold for many years were baked to the core in just a few seconds, and then melted into bright red crystals.

The hot air burned his lungs from the inside, and hot blood poured out of his mouth uncontrollably.

Ethan could clearly feel that the newly repaired armor on his body was inevitably collapsing again. Since being forcibly combined with steel, the armor had become Ethan's second skin. At this moment, he was watching the armor. The armor gradually cracked into pieces, which actually gave him a painful feeling like being skinned and boned.

And he experienced this level of severe pain twice in less than 10 minutes.

[The energy response is weakened! 】

Steel shouted excitedly, and the rioting energy tide also weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, dissipating in the air in just a few seconds, leaving only the flame hell destroyed into ruins.

"Gan! It hurts so damn much...!!!"

Ethan knelt on the ground exhausted, almost grinding his teeth to endure the bone-burning pain. His face turned a shocking purple-red due to the high temperature and exertion, and his expression was so painfully distorted that it became ferocious.

"You two, if you're still alive, say something!"

He turned back with difficulty, eagerly looking at Frank, who had been silent without him.

Just one glance made his heart completely cold.

Doctor Octopus is still wearing power armor after all. Although the four mechanical arms made of secondary Adamant metal have been knotted by Ethan and have not been untied, they are enough to protect most of her and barely save her little body. Life.

But Frank only wore a worn-out trench coat that was equivalent to low-quality rattan armor. This thing had almost no defense, and the fire damage it received would be +1. At this time, it had already been burned to nothing by the raging fire.

Even Ethan, who was wearing armor, could barely withstand the horrific damage. How could Frank, a mortal, be able to withstand it? A fishy, ​​unpleasant smell.

"...Fake!"

Ethan punched the ground, splashing dark red blood drops, but his voice was unusually calm:

"Steel, turn off the super energy buffer."

[You should remember what happened last time, I won’t let you mess up again...]

"I said..." Ethan interrupted Steel almost like a roar: "Turn it off!"

【…】

Steel paused and said: [With the current wear and tear of the armor, it cannot bear your super energy. Regardless of whether you can fight or not, you will lose control. 】

"Then let me lose control! Let's see if I can't kill that bastard!"

Ethan's eyes were already dyed red by dense bloodshot eyes.

【Then what?You're not satisfied that that guy didn't blow Doctor Octopus into ashes, right? You have to do it again? ] Steel said.

"…Damn that girl!"

Steel inadvertently reminded Ethan, who staggered to his feet, and his body that had been forced back to normal mode stumbled towards the direction where Lin and Roberto were fighting.

The feeling he had when the two of them fought against the Thunder Demon last time appeared again, that kind of heart palpitations for no reason, which made his heart twist so hard that he couldn't breathe.

But this time, before he could feel the same pain as last time, Lin's figure had already appeared in his sight, running towards him anxiously.

"Thank God! You didn't..."

As soon as Ethan showed his excited expression, the girl jumped straight into his arms:

"Thank God! You're okay! It's great, it's really great..."

"?"

Ethan looked down at Lin's hug without warning, and his thoughts stopped for a moment.

The amazing feeling on my chest was simply too wonderful to describe.

"...Ah! Sorry...I just got excited..."

Only then did Lin realize what a bold thing she had just done. She quickly let go of her hand and jumped to the side like a rabbit.

Although they usually talk about all sorts of slutty jokes, the two tsunderes have never even held hands. The deepest physical contact is the tacit rubbing of fingers when passing things to each other. After that, both of them are blushing. He kept his face secretly excited for a long time.

Now I actually skipped the normal process of [dating→holding hands→dating again→holding hands again→dating again→holding hands again→when parting, if the relationship is in place, then reluctantly, half push, half want to refuse, then give a gentle hug], directly A tight hug came, which was really exciting for the girl.

[Wow... I actually threw myself into my arms directly, as a strange woman... Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really underestimated you, young people are very courageous. 】

【shut up! ! !I can't live anymore! 】

The girl slowly squatted on the ground, so ashamed that she wanted to seclude herself from the world to prove her innocence.

[No matter how much you covet his body, you won't be so horny... You are really a pervert. 】

[Lin Bingbing, I want to die with you...]

Lin silently raised her hand to touch the top of her head, ruffling the silky hair without caring, as if she wanted to pull that annoying voice out of her head.

[Tsk, shameless woman. 】

Lin Bingbing made up for it with disdain, and muttered in a low voice: [I haven't hugged you yet... Humph, Lin Nuannuan, just wait for me. Next time I go out, I must steal your first kiss. 】

"you dare!!!"

Lin jumped up from the ground, startling Ethan next to her:

"Uh... are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, a mosquito just tried to bite me, so I swatted it to death, haha." Lin covered it up in embarrassment.

"Where did that sunspot go?"

Seeing that she was finally normal, Ethan quickly asked.

"Didn't he use a big move just now? It seemed like he was hollowed out. He fell straight to the ground and couldn't get up. Then the red-faced monster with a long tail teleported over and took him away." Lin gestured with her hands. .

"Run away."

Ethan was a little worried about gain and loss, and now he didn't have to worry about whether to fight or escape.

"It ran away."

Lin nodded, finally noticing the injuries on Ethan's body, and hurriedly rushed forward, with a faint light in her hands, and used all her strength to mobilize the [horse] for treatment, while taking advantage of it in an honest and fair manner.

"Ah~"

Ethan shivered when he was touched, groaned subconsciously, and struggled quickly:

"Holy shit, don't, don't, don't! Girl, men and women don't have sex, how did you act like a gangster all of a sudden?!"

"Don't move, a doctor is like a parent, I just want to heal you!"

Lin's face flushed, but thanks to the mask it was not directly exposed:

"Hey, hey, the young man's figure is not good enough. Let my sister check it carefully..."

"???"

Ethan only felt that this girl had a serious sense of déjà vu, and he always felt that he was very familiar with her.

But now his attention was attracted by what Lin said: "You still have the ability to heal?! Quick, leave me alone and go save that guy!"

Ethan excitedly grabbed Lin's wrist and pulled her quickly towards Frank's body.

"Hey?"

Although the timing was wrong, Lin still couldn't control the deer bumping around, and her heartbeat quietly accelerated.

But she could still tell which was more important, so she speeded up and caught up with Ethan, then pulled him and took off, landing next to Frank in an instant.

"This……!!!"

As soon as she landed, she was shocked by the humanoid charcoal that had lost all vital signs:

"With this level of injury... don't worry, as long as he's not brain dead, I can bring him back!"

Lin quickly squatted down, put her hand on Frank's chest, and used all her remaining inner strength to drive the [Horse] for treatment.

But as soon as the treatment began, it was already over.

"Ok?"

She looked at Frank in astonishment, quickly drove the [Sheep], and said in disbelief after confirming that the situation was true:

"How could it be...the soul shouldn't leave the body so quickly..."

"?"

Ethan and Doctor Octopus looked at each other blankly, and repeated as if to confirm: "Soul? Is it the soul I thought?"

Lin nodded and curled her fingers in embarrassment: "Well, I don't know why, but his soul is no longer there... I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

"...Damn."

Ethan cursed softly as if he was talking in his sleep.

It's not that he and Frank have a deep relationship, after all, the two were fighting each other not long ago.

But just watching him die in front of me, there are still some indescribable emotions.

There is grief and anger, pain and pity.

But most of all it's a pity.

Such a pure idealist should not die in this sewer corner without seeing the light of day.

The most appropriate place for him to leave this world should be on the battlefield filled with smoke. With the belief of protecting his family and country, he fell down without any regrets. Until the moment when his consciousness died, he still held on to the justice in his heart and died with satisfaction.

Ethan looked at Frank's body and once again felt deeply powerless.

Still too weak...

He clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his already bloody palms.

Lin looked at him distressedly, stretched out her slender hands gently, grabbed Ethan's hands and raised them to her chest, her palms glowed with light, quickly healing the wound.

Ethan instinctively retracted his hand, but he couldn't break free with his strength. He could only turn his face away slightly and said "thank you" in a low mood.

His helmet had been removed a long time ago, and his usually fair face was covered with black dirt, mixed with dark red blood scabs that had condensed. Anyone who looked at his miserable appearance would feel a little pity.

Even Doctor Octopus on the side was inspired by his maternal instinct, and had the urge to hold Ethan in his arms and love him. After reacting, he quickly shrank aside, shocked by his own thoughts.

Lin couldn't bear it anymore when a strange woman behaved like this. After trying her best to endure it for a long time, she still couldn't control it. She took Ethan into her arms and said softly:

"It's all over, I will stay with you."

"..."

I didn't react when I was hugged just now, but this time I just let someone hug me like this, and I couldn't stand it anymore.

Ethan's mind flashed to the girl whose every smile touched his heartstrings.

There is nothing to hesitate, he already has the best sweetheart in the world.

"Well, thank you for your comfort, but..."

With a little force, he broke away from Lin's arms and said seriously: "I have someone I like. I like her very much. I'm sorry."

"...Oh, I see."

Lin raised her head, looked at Ethan's face steadily, put her hands behind her back, and took a few steps back obediently.

I have someone I like, and I like her very much.

The girl recalled Ethan's serious expression when he spoke just now and the action of pushing her away without hesitation, and the corners of her mouth raised crazily.

Oops, I'm much, much, much happier than I imagined.

What should I do if I am so happy that I almost want to fly?

This idiot... let me reward you with something good next time.

The girl's face under the mask is as bright as a smile.

"Tattoo..."

Suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps in the distance, and the large army that turned back finally arrived. Kate, who was rushing at the front, saw Ethan from a distance, and shouted eagerly from a distance:

"E...rookie! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!"

Ethan quickly waved his hand, and after being tense for a long time, he finally relaxed when he saw a familiar person.

He turned around and wanted to thank Lin again. As soon as he said "Tha", he was shocked to find that only the bodies of Doctor Octopus and Frank were left around him. The girl had left quietly at some point.

"..."

Ethan shrugged, seeing that this heroine came and went without a trace.

Although the battle is over, the real troublesome follow-up work has just begun.

Looking at Frank's silent body, Ethan stood there for a long time like a silent statue.

His face was as gloomy as ever.

……

The severe pain, like thousands of ants gnawing at the bones, caused Frank's soul to tremble uncontrollably even after leaving his body.

He felt as if he was dreaming, but the sad scene in the past where his wife and daughter asked him with ferocious faces, "It's all because of you!" did not appear.

He was standing in the middle of a narrow rock platform, surrounded by an endless sea of ​​magma. The hot colors of red and orange were intertwined and rolling, and huge bubbles appeared and exploded from time to time on the surface.

"What the hell is this place..."

Frank frowned, instinctively feeling repulsed by this insecure place.

"Hula——!!!"

The hot magma suddenly erupted in all directions, and a shadow with an unclear face suddenly emerged from it. The dark red body condensed from the purest evil in the world looked particularly majestic against the background of the magma.

"Ahahaha! You are finally here, my favorite product!"

He laughed wantonly, as if he had received the long-awaited treasure.

"...who the hell are you?"

Frank is in a very bad mood now, and his tone of voice is particularly irritable.

"This is a good question. I have had many titles, including Hell Lord, Soul Hunter, Despicable Profiteer..."

He counted his titles with his fingers and showed an impatient smile: "But these are all nicknames. You can call me..."

"Lord Mephisto."
