Chapter 176 Harlem Night of Terror (4)(1/2)
The stream of light composed of gold and red intertwined fell rapidly, bringing with it the sound of whimpering wind.
Tony, who had only made a few test flights, watched the earth and the two giants quickly zoom in before his eyes, but he had no fear in his heart.
Apart from his absolute confidence in his own skills, the tragic scene he just saw also filled his heart with anger.
All the weapons installed on his armor were on standby. When he passed over the head of the abomination, missiles as big as dust fell down one after another for the abomination. But when they came into contact with the abomination, the tiny missiles contained
The huge energy ignited a huge fireball that could swallow his entire body.
Wrapped in the fireball was not only the abomination, but also the remains of those sonic cannons.
Watching the Stark Industries trademark gradually melt in the flames, Tony's already frowning frown became even more serious.
"Roar!"
Angry roars sounded again. It was obvious that Tony's micro-missiles were also unable to harm Abomination. The monster didn't even bother to extinguish the blazing flames on its body and rushed towards Tony first.
Tony was not surprised. He hovered in mid-air and raised his palms facing the hatred. The circular jets in his palms were already full of energy.
"Tony! What are you doing?!"
Sharon's anxious voice rang in her ears, and she held up a shield to stand between Tony and Abomination.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Your armor can't deal with these two monsters! You will only get burned if you rush into the battlefield like this!"
"No, I heard it, and you were right."
Tony rarely refuted Sharon's accusation, but he had no intention of quitting.
After capturing the figure of Abomination, his palm cannon immediately poured out all the stored energy. With the help of computer calculations and artificial intelligence Jarvis, the palm cannon accurately landed on the calf that Abomination had just stepped out.
Although the power of the palm running was still unable to harm the Abomination, this precise blow caused the Abomination to immediately lose its balance. The Abomination, which was still burning with flames, immediately turned into a huge fireball rolling on the ground until it crashed into an already existing building.
You can only stop in a dilapidated building.
But Tony was still suspended in place, staring closely at the hateful figure.
"I really can't do anything with this ugly thing, but if the two of them continue to fight here, it will only destroy the entire Harlem. We have to separate them, then lead them to no man's land and find a way to subdue them.<
/p>
Now I'll lure the big one away. Sharon, you go deal with the green one. Jarvis should have marked the route for you on the map.
As for Aaron, go and evacuate the civilians on the road to prevent them from being affected."
Tony didn't wait for the two to reply before approaching the Abomination again. He wanted to completely anger the monster and divert its attention and anger from the Hulk to himself.
Sharon was about to stop Tony's adventurous action when she saw the Hulk rushing straight towards the hateful direction. After hesitating for a moment, she finally followed Tony's instructions and stopped in front of the Hulk, holding the spear in her hand.
Charge up enough energy and throw it at Hulk.
Seeing this, Aaron reluctantly flew along the route marked by Jarvis, evacuating civilians along the way.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan, but Jarvis's voice suddenly reminded him.
"Sir, according to my calculations, you are now in a very dangerous position."
You can even hear a bit of worry in the voice of the artificial intelligence that specially imitated the voice of the deceased butler.
Tony also understood that he was already within the attack range of the big man, but now he had to continue taking risks in order to induce Abomination to attack him.
"Damn little bug!"
Although Hatred retained part of his sanity, he was still driven by anger. He could not help but roar before launching an attack, so when he suddenly broke through the wall from the building and tried to pounce on Tony in mid-air, he failed.
Tony, who was well prepared, was blasted in the face.
"Then you really have to thank me, little bug. I can specially adjust this shot to the maximum power for you to help you repair your ugly face.
To be honest, the cost for me to be a guest plastic surgeon is not low, but considering your financial situation where you are so poor that you only have one pair of underpants, I might as well make an exception and forgive your debt. After all, a rich man like me has to do something occasionally.
Charity, right?"
Tony kept taunting, and at the same time, his palm cannon flashed continuously, and each shot accurately hit Abomination's head. Although the palm cannon could not penetrate Abomination's skin, the continuous attacks still made Abomination cover his head.
Take a few steps back.
The response to Tony was not only the more violent roars of hatred, but also the roar and tsunami on the Internet.
"Fuck you rich people's arrogance!"
"Anyone who puts on that suit of armor seems to be able to make a cameo appearance as a superhero, except Tony Stark, because nothing can contain his arrogance!"
"Rich people should occasionally do some charity? What you call charity is to destroy our houses, then build them with mercy, and then collect money from each of us?"
"Oh, the reason why you were charged again is because you still have money to exploit. Look at that poor monster with only one pair of pants. Even Tony Stark had to let him go."
On the broken streets of Harlem, among the burning wreckage of many cars, a white interview car is hiding among them. At this moment, the brand-new interview car has been stained with black traces, and even the staff in the car are like hot pots.
Running around like ants in a hurry.
And Eddie, who was sitting there, was even more busy operating.
The moment everyone heard Tony's taunt, Eddie had already ordered the camera to switch to Sharon and Wanda, who had just left with the wounded. At the same time, he immediately arranged for people to guide the direction of the comments.
But the negative comments still came like a tsunami.
Almost every comment is a verbal abuse and accusation against Tony.
The only difference is that some of the accusations are somewhat justified, but most of them are just curses to vent their emotions.
Felicia, who was sitting lazily aside, raised her eyebrows, while Eddie's assistant, Vanessa, temporarily finished her work and looked puzzled at the rapidly updated curses.
"Why are people starting to blame Tony Stark?
Obviously he is risking his life to deal with the monster that destroyed half of Harlem, and he was just mocking the monster, but they acted as if they were being scolded."
After enduring it for a long time, Vanessa couldn't help but ask this question.
Eddie glanced impatiently at the little assistant who had been following him for several months, feeling that this little girl still had not made any progress after following him for so long.
But when he saw other staff members in the interview car also showing puzzled expressions, he still sighed and pointed helplessly at Sharon, who was dealing with the Hulk on the screen, and asked:
"Then what do you think is the difference between the Captain America who is fighting now and the Tony just now?"
Felicia subconsciously began to analyze the fighting style between the two, while Vanessa stared at the screen nervously, looking for the answer.
When the screen started to switch to Wanda, she was seen giving emergency treatment to an injured soldier who escaped from the sonic cannon, then pointed at the screen and asked:
"What about her? What's the difference between her and Tony before?"
This time Vanessa's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to answer:
"Because she and Captain America are both quiet in battle? So taunting the opponent in battle will attract hatred? Just like the ghost Spider-Man used to do?"
Eddie shrugged.
"In a sense, you did get the key point, but there are some gaps in the details."
He observed the battle on the screen, and watched the direction of the comments gradually change. From being solely attacks on Tony to being mixed with admiration for Sharon and curiosity about Wanda's identity, he was relieved.
Then he tapped his index finger regularly on the edge of the table and explained:
"Although Captain America's fighting style is indeed simple and capable, the essential difference between them is that Captain America does not behave like a jerk."
As he spoke, Eddie took out his cell phone and entered Tony's name into the search bar of the web page. The pinned message found was that Tony dated several supermodels at the same time again, and what shocking remarks he made.
"But Tony Stark is a genuine playboy. He is not only bohemian, but also will not tolerate anyone's ridicule. He will fight back sharply, so in everyone's eyes he has long been a jerk, and what he just said
Ridicule just reminds people of who he is.
And when you are a jerk, no one wants to see you being proud, so when you have a bad reputation, when you are playing around in battle and mocking your opponents, people tend to ignore the mistakes they have made.
Sometimes you may even sympathize with them and even support them.
Especially when those whose own cars or property have become the background and props of these heroic actions, hearing such ridicule is almost the same as being insulted.
They will stand with your opponents. Unless their own lives are threatened, these people would rather see you suffer than see justice being done. They may not be cruel enough to want to see you die, but those who
People absolutely want to see you fall off the altar, roll in the mud, and struggle."
"But this doesn't make sense...Don't they have sympathy for the victims?"
Seeing Vanessa's confused look, Eddie simply pulled out a past newspaper from the corner, unfolded it in front of Vanessa's eyes, pointed to the pseudonym of the victim in a certain incident above who didn't even have a photo, and said:
"The prerequisite for sympathy is that you can feel the same. If those victims are just a name in the newspaper, a fleeting figure in the picture, or a number, then unless that person is someone you are familiar with, whether that person is saved or not
Even the misfortune you have suffered cannot arouse your sympathy.
You will only care more about the person who appears in the news headlines every day and makes you unhappy, and if you see him suffer, you will definitely be happy for at least two hours.
In fact, most people are too lazy to make complex distinctions. They will put a simple label on everyone or things. They will simply like some labels and then dislike others.
This is also the reason why ‘Batman’ has gained such great popularity in such a short period of time.
He gave himself a perfect label, and then took actions that met people's expectations, which made his label stronger and stronger, and people's love also increased.
And now even if he takes off the helmet, the tag will not be taken off with the helmet, because it has been firmly fixed on his body.
What we are doing now is to replicate this process and put such a perfect label on the ‘hero’ in each shot.”
When she heard Eddie talking about work, Vanessa looked at Sharon who was fighting on the screen and Wanda who was trying her best to transport the wounded in the city. She who had been admiring their heroic actions just now felt that
Something important is starting to go bad.
