Chapter 284. Reassembling

"Crusher Mode" was designed and developed by Tony, specifically for physical combat.

In fact, the reason Tony developed this form was purely due to the unpredictable Hulk in the Avengers.

To prevent situations where the Hulk would lose control with no one to stop him, he deliberately developed this armor form as a contingency plan.

Not only the armor form, but in Tony's design memo, the "Anti-Hulk Armor" was also being systematically developed.

Boom, boom!

Under the "Crusher Mode", the upper body of the Mark 8 armor became even thicker, and the arm parts of the armor were particularly strengthened. Controlling the Mark 8 to swing its robust steel arms, Tony didn't hesitate to lunge towards Shukaku in front of him.

Boom!

With the support of the steel arm, Tony's current strength could even be compared to the Hulk in his normal state.

Smashing down on Shukaku's body, countless yellow sand splashed out, interrupting its "recovery" process.

Opening its own beast eyes again, Shukaku looked at Tony, and a fierce expression appeared on its face. Its eyes flashed red, and a fierce aura emanated from its body. It swung its huge arms and swept towards Tony.

Crack, crack!

The chilling wind blew Tony's steps back. He controlled the Mark 8 to stand firmly in front of Shukaku. The golden-red steel arm flickered with a faint blue light, and it instantly erupted into a violent impact. It turned into a powerful and heavy blow and heavily smashed Shukaku's head.

Boom!

With one punch, Tony smashed Shukaku's head into yellow sand.

However, it quickly recovered soon after.

A new head grew back, and Shukaku shook its new head uncomfortably, looking at Tony on the opposite side. A fierce light flashed in its yellow eyes. As it roared, opening its mouth, as a large amount of sand and wind began to gather within it. [Wind Release: Sand Buckshot]!

Sand bullets, strengthened with wind, had destructive power that was almost as strong as bullets. When they hit the ground of Chinatown, they left deep pits. However, the main function of the sand bullets was to bury sand inside the opponent's body, to suppress their mobility, rather than the damage they caused.

Rolling yellow sand sprayed from Shukaku's mouth and buried Tony in an instant.

"Mr. Stark!"

Seeing that Tony was buried in sand, the face under the small spider mask revealed a look of surprise. Almost without thinking, he pressed the web shooter in his hand and launched a sticky bomb at Shukaku's head.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Shukaku tore off the spider webbing on its face. It's already fierce aura became even more intense, and Peter noticed that every grain of sand on the ground began to tremble, as if conveying Shukaku's inner anger. The spider-sense within him had been going crazy since a moment ago, constantly reminding Peter of the deadly danger he was facing.

"If only I listened to Mr. Stark's advice, and immediately lest this place."

As he looked up at Shukaku, towering three stories high in front of him, Peter couldn't help but gulp and regret his decision.

One swipe from Shukaku would be enough to end his life.

Although his heart was beating with fear, when Peter's gaze fell upon Tony, buried under the sand, his gaze suddenly turned resolute.

"Huh~"

Taking a deep breath, Peter suddenly shouted at Shukaku, "Hey, big guy, I'm over here!"

Hearing Peter's provocation, Shukaku stopped moving towards Tony and slowly turned his head, locking his yellow eyes onto Peter.

"Danger!"

In the moment when Peter's gaze met Shukaku's, his spider-sense suddenly went off. He quickly shot a strand of web to stick to the sign across the street, and just in the nick of time, he jumped away as a sand pillar formed by rolling yellow sand pierced through his previous position. The raging sand pummeled the building, leaving it riddled with holes.

"That was close, too close!"

Peter exclaimed while hanging on the sign, looking at the roof of the shattered building. He patted his chest in relief, still visibly shaken.

Rumble--

However, before Peter could catch his breath, a large number of dark clouds started forming in mid-air.

"Why is there a thunderstorm now out of nowhere?"

Peter asked, surprised at the lightning flashing in the sky.

...

"Natasha."

Steve and the others arrived in front of the ruined martial arts school after evacuating the civilians from Chinatown amid the thunder and lightning.

"So this is the heavenly demon that the Peng Lai master talked about?"

Bruce pushed his glasses up and muttered.

"Captain."

Natasha, who was nursing an arm injured by the sand, poked her head out of the nearby rubble and gritted her teeth. "For New York's sake, we must do everything to stop this sand monster from growing any further."

"Don't worry, our strongest ally had arrived."

Steve comforted Natasha who was injured, and slowly spoke while looking at the massive Shukaku.

Rumble--

As Steve finished speaking, a huge lightning bolt struck the Shukaku, causing a loud explosion.

Immediately after, Thor, wielding Mjolnir, appeared in Chinatown.

Boom!

It was also at that moment that Tony, who had been trapped in the sand, finally broke free and took deep breaths as he struggled to stand on his feet.

"Captain, you made it."

Tony gasped as he looked at Captain America who had just arrived, and then noticed Thor standing beside him. A surprised expression appeared on Tony's face under his mask as he said, "You came back, Point Break?"

"I came to Earth to see Jane, and I learned about the situation in New York from the talking people in the little black box, so I rushed here."

Thor waved his hammer and spoke in a deep voice, revealing his reason for coming.

Although, the reason made people somewhat speechless, it was fortunate that it led to the successful reunion of the Avengers, who hadn't assembled in full force since the Battle of New York.

"Is this the guy we're dealing with this time?"

Thor asked, turning his gaze once more to look at Shukaku.
