"You betrayed me." Ultimate Iron Man began. "You were the one who first violated my trust in you. You were the one who doubted me first."
Just as Shiller was going to open his mouth, Ultimate Iron Man cut him off, saying, "I was about to tell you Owen's whereabouts, but you betrayed me, so you will never get him."
"No! No, Tony!"
Shiller, with his eyes wide open, stepped forward and looked at the Ultimate Iron Man, "You can't do this. He can't be in trouble. The cosmos still..."
"I told you before, I don't care if the cosmos is destroyed or not." Ultimate Iron Man's voice was trembling slightly. For the first time, it wasn't intentional.
At this moment, his fury was real. Surprisingly mixed up in his shame and fury from being figured out, there was a hint of genuine uncontrollable rage from betrayal.
Ultimate Iron Man knew that Shiller truly believed him once, but he stopped believing. On what grounds did Shiller have to doubt him? On what grounds did he abandon him?
The increasingly enraged Ultimate Iron Man clenched his fist, causing the Silver Cage to shrink. Inside, Owen screamed. At the same time, Shiller rushed forward shouting, "No!"
With his eyes bulging, he said to Ultimate Iron Man, "What the hell do you want to do?! What do you want me to do?!!"
Ultimate Iron Man felt as though an acid had lodged in his throat. He firmly clenched his teeth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He struggled to control the twitching muscles in his face, slightly tilted his head back, and coldly looked at Shiller saying, "I want your abilities."
Shiller looked at him in disbelief.
As Ultimate Iron Man inhaled deeply, he turned and looked at the large machine behind him. He slowly dropped his arms and said to Shiller, "One of you will have their abilities taken from them. This is the punishment for the traitor. You or him, choose one."
Shiller's eyes turned cold. But somehow, the answer Ultimate Iron Man expected was, 'him'."
"I..."
Shiller's Adam's apple trembled wildly. He repeated strongly, "...I! I will give you my abilities!"
Ultimate Iron Man was nearly at his boiling point with rage. He didn't know why he was so angry, but he took flight angrily and watched Shiller coldly from mid-air.
Shiller took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then gently raised his eyebrows and revealed a self-mocking smile, "...I should've thought of this sooner."
After saying this, he walked determinedly towards the machine. He stood in front of it with his back to Ultimate Iron Man and said, "I should've realized that there are only two types of people in this world—those who fear my abilities and those who covet my abilities. There is no in-between."
After speaking, he turned around and sat on the giant machine's chair. The door of the cabin slowly closed with a hissing sound.
The smoke was thick, but Ultimate Iron Man could imagine the expressions on Shiller's face. Maybe sadness, or perhaps despair.
The smoke was thick, obscuring the fleeting coldness in Shiller's eyes, and the extremely cruel and malicious smile that momentarily covered his grey eyes.
But his rage still consumed Ultimate Iron Man. He furiously pressed a button on his armguard, and a low scream came from within the machine where Shiller was.
"Ah..."
"STOP!!!!!!!!"
A more furious voice came from above the base. With a "boom", a large hole was blasted in the hull of the spaceship above the machine.
Accompanied by a dying engine flame, another Golden Red Mech slowly landed in front of Ultimate Iron Man.
