Fighting the Annihilation Wave 2

"You really have a lot of secrets, Jack, but it's a good thing you prepared these things, so we can survive for a few weeks if necessary," said Johnny.

"You have no idea the secrets I have. I don't care about the storage space, it's a type of magic that I created. The secrets are other things," replied Jack.

Jack then took out the 12 Iron Man suits that he had brought in case the bugs invaded Earth, but now he had to use them to earn a lot of FP in the coming weeks here in the Negative Zone.

"So you're Iron Man? Wow, I never imagined that, considering you already have a superpower and are a hero too," said Johnny.

Jack said nothing and created 14 clones. He couldn't study in the Negative Zone and needed to conserve chakra to use the Raiton Chakura Mōdo. He would use 12 clones to operate the suits, 1 to keep an eye on the portal, and 1 to stay by Johnny's side.

If Johnny were in danger, he could use a portal to get close to him and save him from the bugs. If Reed opened the portal to the Negative Zone, Jack's clone would also alert Johnny, who was shocked by this.

"Wow! You can create clones using magic? I've seen aliens who could use clones, but they needed to use science and magic for it and couldn't create as many as you," said Johnny.

"It's a complex technique. They are weak and can't fight alone or use magic or fly as I can. That's why I have the Iron Man suits and why I was Tony's bodyguard, even though I'm a hero," explained Jack, so if something happened, he could protect Tony's identity.

"Johnny, you're in danger here in the Negative Zone. You can fight for a few hours and need time to rest before fighting again. So, I hope you stay here with my clone. If anything happens, I'll come back to help," said Jack.

"I will fight against the bugs to stop them from searching for us and finding this place. I can fight for several days without getting tired, and I have no problem flying and using magic to escape."

"For now, I will fly to different places to find safe locations, and then we can use the portal to escape to different places. Meanwhile, my clones will use the Iron Man armor to fight some bugs and draw their attention," said Jack.

Johnny heard this and didn't like having to stay put without fighting, but he knew that he couldn't help now. Johnny knew that Jack was right and felt ashamed that Jack had to carry him with telekinesis.

"Okay, Jack, I'll listen to you and stay here to rest. But be careful and don't get hurt, after all, there are billions of bugs here in the Negative Zone," said Johnny.

"Don't worry, now only my clones will use the armor to fight the bugs. They can fly very fast and never tire. I'll stay here, eat and rest for a few hours before moving," said Jack.

Thus, Jack created a teleportation portal near the main portal and sent one of his clones there. He used other portals to send the Iron Man armor clones to where Jack and Johnny had disappeared.

The clones using the Iron Man armor flew at high speed and soon found some bugs. They quickly separated and started attacking so that Annihilus could find them and order his army to pursue them.

Jack's clones thought like him and were also intelligent, so they quickly figured out how to use the minimum energy to kill the bugs and use the armor for longer periods.

Tony had given Jack several arc reactors to use in his armor, and the armor had a function to recharge energy using other types of energy. The Negative Zone had many types of energy to be absorbed.

So while Jack rested, he realized that his FP continued to increase continuously, which made him happy. He was sure that this place was the right one for him to gain the power to fight Thanos.

With a new goal ahead, Jack continued to fight against the Annihilation Wave with a different mentality. Jack and his clones killed many bugs as they continued to retreat. Annihilus had never seen anyone like Jack who had so much endurance, and he didn't know how so many people with armor had appeared.

But Annihilus was confident that the large number of bugs he had would eventually kill Jack and the others with armor. After all, Jack and his clones had killed less than 100,000 bugs, and there were still over 1 billion left.

But Jack was happy because he had already gained a few million FP with this, and he knew that this was just the beginning. After thinking for a while, Jack began to take turns, leaving six armors to fight while he rested.

This way, his clones would never stop fighting, and Jack could sleep and recover some Chakra. Johnny saw that Jack had been strangely happy in the past few days, but he thought it was because his plan to lure the bugs was working.

Johnny insisted, and Jack would take him to fight for a few hours each day so that Annihilus wouldn't suspect that Johnny was missing. Annihilus assumed they were resting for a few hours each day, but he hoped that they would give up without food and water eventually.

After two weeks in the Negative Zone, Johnny no longer had any interest in fighting and only did so for a few hours so that Annihilus wouldn't suspect anything. Even Jack was tired, but what kept him going was that he had managed to gain 160 million FP in that time.

Jack now had more than 191 million FP and decided it was time to improve some of his abilities. He tried to increase his physical strength or speed but soon gave up. The system said that if he did that, he would lose his current connection.

Currently, while he trained his physical strength, he increased all his physical attributes, including speed, agility, recovery, and others. But if he used his FP to increase speed or strength, this constant increase would end.

Not to mention, to have a strength of 100 tons, which would be useful, he needed to spend 150 million FP. Thinking about this, it was better to find a way to increase his training speed for physical strength.
