Robert's figure vanished in a flash, and none of the tightly shut doors dared to open to check the commotion outside. For ordinary people, firearms are terrifying, but a person who can catch bullets in their hand and throw them back to kill others is even more horrifying. This has completely overturned their understanding...
Soon, Robert appeared in another desert gathering place several kilometers away. The situation here was almost no different from the previous one, with people holding guns and looting various items with fierce smiles on their faces. However, the people here seemed even more numb, as if they had grown accustomed to this way of life, showing no intention of resistance.
Robert also roughly understood why Clark had agreed to his proposal of eliminating them root and branch. Clark probably saw such oppression as commonplace around them, even becoming a normal, expected rule.
Although killing these people wouldn't solve the problem completely, as Robert had said, it could allow the nearby residents to live in peace for a few days, waiting for the next group of extremists to continue their oppression...
Faced with this situation, Robert didn't bother with much talk and started killing directly. In no time, batch after batch of extremists lay dead by Robert's hand, without him showing any sign of stopping.
Truly, he killed at every ten steps, leaving no trace over thousands of miles! "Boss, something's wrong! We can't contact many of our people!" As Robert killed more and more, the extremist organization finally sensed something amiss, as more and more of their members lost contact.
If it were one or two missing, it would still be normal; after all, they lived on the edge of the knife, and many were greedy, possibly running off after looting something significant. Of course, some might be too busy oppressing others and temporarily unreachable.
But now, with widespread disappearances, even the dimmest members of the extremist organization realized something was wrong, as they had never encountered such a situation before...
"Could it be Tony Stark's reinforcements? No, there's no noise outside, it doesn't seem like reinforcements," the leader muttered doubtfully, looking towards the deep cave where Tony Stark was held.
"Boss, is it possible that it's some high-tech weapon attacking our men without our knowledge?" A hint of worry flashed in the subordinate's eyes as he cautiously asked, "Should we ask Tony Stark if he knows anything?"
"Right! Ask him, and bring out all our weapons! What does it matter if it's a high-tech weapon? No high-tech can stand against absolute firepower!" The leader's eyes flashed with resolve as he quickly issued orders.
The leader knew this might be a significant hurdle for him, but if he could get over it, not only could he obtain weapons made by Tony Stark, but his base could also grow even stronger...
But if they couldn't overcome it, the only path left would be destruction! Whether it was to become a model in a high-end club or to engage in hard labor, success or failure hinged on this moment!
The leader wouldn't regret his current choice; he had always lived a life on the edge. If he didn't want to take a risk, he would have acted when someone contacted him to kill Tony Stark. Now, it was just for gaining more...
Meanwhile, deep in the cave where the extremists held him, Tony Stark, with Yinsen's help, had almost completed the armor he envisioned, only lacking the final activation step.
But just then, as extremists came to inquire about high-tech weapons...
"Open the door! Open it!" The angry voice of the extremists resounded outside, while Tony Stark glanced at the door from behind and took a deep breath with Yinsen to remain calm.
"Don't worry, I've reinforced and sealed this door. Although materials are limited, they'll need significant firepower to break it open, and they currently have only the most basic firearms..." Tony Stark reassured Yinsen in a low voice, "Moreover, we've rigged the door with explosives. When they use heavy firepower to breach it, they'll reap what they sow!"
"This will buy us enough time to complete the last steps. Come on, Yinsen, help me don the armor and start the program..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tony Stark hadn't finished speaking when gunshots echoed outside, followed by footsteps leaving.
Seeing the door remained closed, Yinsen sighed in relief, then stepped forward to help Tony Stark don the armor and nervously began the activation process.
At the same time, Robert had arrived outside this base. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of fully armed extremists and tanks, chuckling, "Looks like I've been discovered... But no challenge at all, not even compared to the Red Ribbon Army!"
"Who's there?!" Patrol extremists soon spotted Robert, aiming their guns and demanding in a deep voice.
With a "Boom!" Robert casually unleashed a Ki Blast, starting his unparalleled rampage.
"How is this possible? A human? No! This must be high-tech! A combat robot! No human could be this powerful!" The leader, watching Robert effortlessly launch Ki Blasts, voiced his astonishment and then gritted his teeth, "Prepare the tanks! Get the rocket launchers and Gatling guns ready. Even if he's a combat robot, I don't believe he's invulnerable!"
Boom! Dada dada dada! Boom!
Soon, tanks, rocket launchers, and Gatling guns unleashed a furious barrage, watching the ensuing dust clouds, the leader's eyes flickered with doubt, muttering, "Did... did we succeed?"
Whoosh!
Then, a gust of wind blew the dust away, revealing an unscathed Robert, who satisfactorily noted, "Hmm, the energy shield works quite well!"
As Robert spoke, he unleashed wave after wave of Ki Blasts, causing explosions everywhere. Tanks and men alike were obliterated under his assault.
The leader, who hadn't even faced Robert directly, was killed by a Ki Blast, dying no differently than his underlings. If he knew how he died, he probably would have felt indignant.
"Hmm... There's still some energy over there... Let's deal with it... Huh?" Robert's gaze shifted towards a distant cave, just as he heard an explosion from inside.
Boom!
It turned out, after their firearms failed to open the door, the extremists had returned with a rocket launcher, firing it at the door. This triggered the bomb Tony Stark had set up, causing a series of explosions...
"We need more time, I'll buy you some!" Seeing the activation program still loading, Yinsen bit his lip and rushed out, picking up a dropped submachine gun. Instead of shooting at the fleeing extremists, he fired into the air while pursuing them...
But soon, Yinsen stopped, as he saw the extremists ahead being pierced by a laser and falling to the ground. Then, a young man with spiky hair looked at him in surprise, "Huh? It seems I was wrong earlier; there actually is an innocent person here. But the one behind doesn't seem so innocent!"
Today's 10,000 words are presented, thanks for the support of your monthly and recommendation tickets, greatly appreciated~ Regarding several issues recently raised, here's a unified response.
The power levels haven't been deliberately suppressed, but we can't have the character nearly dying today, surpassing Super Saiyan tomorrow, and then Super Saiyan 2 the day after. This story is only at 200,000 words, and it's just the beginning. Robert's power level has been steadily increasing, almost catching up to Diana without using divine power. Taking her home as a wife is just around the corner...
Regarding when to surpass Super Saiyan, the plot was set at the beginning of the story, just some distance away now. But surpassing Super Saiyan power level isn't too far off. Robert is exploring various ways to enhance himself comprehensively, aiming to master the power of the Great Ape, boosting his normal strength to the extreme, like Broly's normal state fighting Super Saiyan, angry state fighting Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan beating Super Saiyan Blue. And as Robert masters more abilities, his strength will undoubtedly become more comprehensive than Broly's.
As for learning new abilities and developing new ones, it's all about diversifying and supplementing Ki and abilities, making Ki not only destructive but also versatile, covering potential weaknesses. It's not about abandoning the destructive power of Ki, especially in this world where many are keen on exploiting weaknesses.
Lastly, regarding talismans, they were introduced to connect the supernatural characters and forces, letting Robert explore this new world. The storyline unique to talismans isn't much, mostly introducing new characters and stories, right?
