Chapter 20 "Ex-Wife" Missile Launched
"What's that noise?"
Qin Wuying stared at the fake Rhodes's movements and sensed something was amiss.
Suddenly, the metal box deformed and began to climb and merge onto the fake Rhodes like a symbiote.
Is it about to transform?
"Mech combination!" Fake Rhodes shouted.
The complete version has finally appeared, exactly like the war machine Qin Wuying saw in movies and TV shows.
It seems that the technology of Iron Man suits has emerged in this world and has been put into practical use.
The Skrull before them not only took Rhodes's place, but also stole War Machine's mech.
"It's a war machine? This is getting a bit troublesome."
Protected by advanced mechs, conventional physical attack methods may become less effective.
"What war machine? You mean this one?"
Although I couldn't see what expression the fake Rhodes had through the helmet, he seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
"That name is so lame! My amazing weapon is called—Alloy Power Overlord!"
Upon hearing this title, Qin Wuying felt as if his brain had shrunk.
Faced with "Alloy Might King", the agents knew they were no match for him and quickly ran behind Qin Wuying.
They knew this guy was a mage and definitely more powerful than them.
"Hey, are you guys really loyal members of the Security Department?"
Qin Wuying looked at the dozen or so people who needed his protection; they were clearly fully armed.
Well, maybe this alloy stuff is really hard to fight.
"You guys, run back now, run as far as you can."
If a real battle were to begin, Qin Wuying would have plenty of ways to dodge—
However, once he became intangible, the unlucky ones who got shot were the people behind him.
The agents were very obedient this time. They took off without looking back, demonstrating excellent training as they retreated.
"That's perfect, I don't want to make a big deal out of this, killing just you is just right."
The fake Rhodes spouted wild words, and two light machine guns rose from his shoulders.
Compared to precision, people here seem to prefer pure firepower suppression.
As the saying goes, all fear stems from insufficient firepower.
Neither side exchanged any more words, and the battle was about to begin.
From a distance, Alloy Power King began firing wildly at Qin Wuying.
Qin Wuying unfurled a massive magical shield, retreating while defending, not wanting to get too close to his opponent.
"Regular bullets don't work? Try this!"
The fake Rhodes opened his palm, revealing a device that resembled a laser emitter.
If its power is similar to Iron Man's suit, then it can penetrate even a magic shield.
"call out--!"
A blinding laser beam shot straight from Alloy Power King's palm toward Qin Wuying's face.
"Kamui!"
Just as the laser was about to touch Qin Wuying's nose, he triggered—
It's a perfect blur!
However, since we haven't learned the later parts yet, there are no combo techniques like double grabs.
"Huh? What is it?"
Seeing Qin Wuying's barely visible torso, Fake Rhodes was somewhat surprised; he had never heard of mages having such a technique.
But he wasn't completely unprepared.
With the help of the R&D department, he mixed the ingredients of the anti-magic stone early in the morning to create a missile specifically designed to counter mages.
"Watch me blast you away with this."
A small launch port opened in the chest of the Alloy King, from which a small metal missile was launched.
Its greatest power lies in the information gap.
Qin Wuying definitely didn't know it had a magic-suppressing effect.
Once it gets close and recognizes the magical power on Qin Wuying's body, even if it can react in time, it will be unable to activate its ethereal transformation to evade.
For the protagonists in many stories, the fighting power is overwhelmingly one-sided.
But for Qin Wuying, this world seems a bit too balanced so far.
He focused intently on Alloy Might King's chest, wanting to trigger the Hollowfication effect as soon as possible.
"Are you ready?" the fake Rhodes shouted.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Asking the enemy if they're ready before launching an attack is just too pretentious.
"Five, four, three..."
As the fake Rhodes counted down, he suddenly launched a missile when he reached three.
"Damn it, you have no sportsmanship!"
Qin Wuying was tricked and had no time to react. He could only watch helplessly as the high-speed missile hurtled towards him.
Just as he was about to activate the intangibility, he found that he couldn't muster any strength.
"Oh no, this is a magic-suppressing stone..."
He could only close his eyes and wait for death to come.
However, one second, two seconds, three seconds passed, but the imagined pain did not come.
Qin Wuying opened his eyes and found that the missile had landed on the ground at his feet and was still emitting white smoke.
The missile is broken.
"How could this happen..." Fake Rhodes couldn't accept that his trump card had failed.
"Why did my meticulously developed 'ex-wife' missile suddenly malfunction?!"
Uh, Qin Wuying thought to himself, blame it on the bad name you gave it.
It seems that no matter where it is, the "ex-wife" missile is a useless thing, only able to deter the enemy for three seconds.
The moment it's launched, the deception will be exposed.
"Now it's my turn, isn't it?"
Qin Wuying immediately teleported behind Alloy Power Overlord.
They had just delayed long enough to basically exhaust Alloy Might King's ammunition.
Now even his "ex-wife" is gone.
Qin Wuying gently placed a finger on the gap on the back of the mecha.
A powerful surge of magical energy instantly flowed into the mech.
"Hahaha, you're such a fool!"
The fake Rhodes maneuvered the mecha around, letting out a few sneers, "You've actually made me recharge."
Seeing the energy level steadily rising, Fake Rhodes was overjoyed.
"80%, 110%, 250%...?!"
Something was wrong; Fake Rhodes discovered that the amount on the energy panel far exceeded the set maximum value.
"Warning! Warning!"
The entire mech visibly began to heat up and turn red, and emitted black gas.
"Get out, get out now!"
Fake Rhodes hurriedly issued commands to the artificial intelligence mounted on the mecha.
"Slap! Slap slap slap!"
The Alloy Power King fell apart within seconds, accompanied by a burnt smell.
The fake Rhodes crawled out of there in a disheveled state, his face covered in traces of black smoke.
"If you're so capable, why didn't you just defeat me from the start?"
Qin Wuying smiled dismissively.
"That's why I said you guys are all idiots." He pointed to the surveillance camera above his head.
"It's no use. I paralyzed the entire regulatory system here before I arrived."
The Skrull revealed a sinister expression. "Wait until I revert to Rhodes' appearance, then let's see who they believe."
"I'm not going to believe you anyway, you bastard."
Just then, the masked man's familiar voice came through the communication device.
"Where the hell did you jump out from?"
