Chapter 181 Steel Expo: The Real 'Avenger'!
Whoosh——
Two dazzling pulse beams burst out from Stark's palm laser cannon.
Pah!
With a slight sound, the pulse beam instantly hit a layer of invisible protective force field.
The energy impact was shattered into countless tiny spots of light that flew in all directions and dissipated into the air.
Chi Chi Chi——
Immediately afterwards, two streams of scorching white and blue flames suddenly erupted from the nozzles under the feet of the iron armor.
It quickly rose up with its heavy metal body, trying to completely distance itself from the battle.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, Rorschach, who had already prepared for the attack, drove the Terminator armor and launched a swift charge.
The heavy steps covered the distance of several meters between the two sides in the blink of an eye.
He suddenly raised a metal palm that was heavily covered with a thick shell, and quickly grabbed a metal foot of the Iron Armor!
Rorschach exerted a little force, and his tightly clenched palm instantly crushed the flight nozzle of the Iron Armor, preventing the opponent from continuing to rise!
Buzz!
The electronic muscle bundles inside the Terminator armor contract and drive.
Stark tried to maintain his balance on one foot and wanted to continue counterattacking with the palm laser cannon, but he was swung up by Rorschach's strong arm and fell heavily to the ground!
In the blink of an eye, a huge pit accompanied by cracks and gravel appeared clearly in Rorschach's eyepiece field of view.
"oh--"
At this moment, Stark, who fell on his back, let out a short cry of pain from his iron armor.
He subconsciously raised the undamaged metal foot.
Another nozzle that continuously emitted scorching white and blue flames was aimed at Rorschach's Terminator armor, increasing its output power.
At the same time, the inverted triangle 'Ark Reactor' on the chest of the iron armor also emitted a gradually charging hum and light.
He seemed to be looking for an opportunity to use a powerful pulse beam cannon on Rorschach!
"Humph!"
Rorschach snorted from inside his diamond-shaped helmet.
He grabbed the other person's feet with his strong arms and lifted them up again.
The next moment, even Stark, who was wearing an iron armor, was swung back and forth several times like a rag doll.
Repeatedly fell to the ground!
Boom!
Until the fireworks in the nozzle were completely extinguished, the light cannon on the chest of the steel armor gradually disappeared.
Only then did Rorschach release the huge hand that was holding the other party's metal foot.
"The first lesson on the battlefield is to never point your gun at your 'teammates', even if they are temporary or have bad intentions..."
A deep voice slowly came out from Rorschach's diamond-shaped helmet, echoing in the silent surroundings.
He stood in front of a pit filled with rubble.
Stark looked down through the eyepiece at his iron armor, which was covered with collision scratches.
"Ahem... strange 'friend'! This is just a small misunderstanding. This is entirely Jarvis's reaction to the battle. It's all Jarvis' fault..."
At this moment, Stark's weak voice floated out from inside the iron armor.
His words focus on friends and trying to shift the blame to the artificial intelligence 'Jarvis'.
"Oh? Since you consider me a friend, I won't be polite to you."
Rorschach, whose face was hidden in the diamond-shaped helmet, smiled slightly.
A servo-mechanical arm located at the rear of the power backpack rapidly extended and stretched.
The three opposing mechanical claws forcibly inserted into the chest of the iron armor.
He grabbed the inverted triangle-shaped 'Ark Reactor'!
"Hey! Friend! Wait!"
In an instant, Stark, who had managed to remain calm, seemed to fall into real panic.
He explained to Rorschach in a hurried tone:
"This Ark Reactor is the source of my life. Once the energy gathering and traction of the Ark Reactor is lost, countless tiny shrapnel will flow into my heart... Dear stranger, we are 'friends'!"
"Tsk, I almost forgot that you are a disabled person."
Rorschach's diamond-shaped helmet shook slightly.
His sight locked onto the chest of the iron armor through the eyepiece, and he explored it repeatedly.
Then, the servo robotic arm embedded in the titanium alloy shell was quickly pulled out and changed the direction of grasping.
The servo robotic arm actually grabbed the neck of the iron armor and slowly lifted Stark, who was lying in the pit, in front of it.
At the same time, the other two servo robotic arms controlled the firepower array, and the black muzzles were aimed at the head of the iron armor.
"Let's make a simple and clear exchange of equal value. Is Ms. Pepper's life worth a new model of 'Ark Reactor'? Dear Mr. Stark?"
Rorschach's deep voice was clearly transmitted into the interior of the steel armor.
"It's worth it! It must be worth it! But, my friend..."
Stark, sweating profusely in his iron armor, glanced at the dark muzzle of the gun and spoke in an anxious and cautious tone.
"Hmm...it seems that in your subconscious mind it is not worth it."
Rorschach interrupted Stark's argument.
He pretended to think for a while, and suddenly said:
"As a friend, you can't take it by force. I want you to give me the 'Ark Reactor' willingly. After all, I'm not some third-rate robber. I personally prefer to win people over with virtue..."
"Haha... using morality to suppress others? Your joke is really funny."
Hear Rorschach's words.
Stark in the iron armor subconsciously made a flattering mockery.
However, the next second, his already forced and awkward smile froze on his face!
In an instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave!
"Tony Stark, do you want to know the truth about your parents' murder?"
"Parents? The truth? Murdered?! Obadiah told me that they just had an extremely tragic car accident! It was just a damn car accident!"
"Who the hell are you? What the hell do you know?!"
In an instant, Stark's emotions fluctuated violently, from uncertainty to confusion and anger, and he suddenly raised one hand.
He grabbed the servo arm at his neck and struggled hard to break free.
However, Rorschach's words were cold and contained no emotion.
But it made Stark quiet down again.
Only his metal palm wrapped in a red shell began to tremble slightly.
"At 17:00 on the evening of December 16, 1996, your father was driving with your mother on the tree-lined path on their way home... At the same time, a poor assassin who had been brainwashed by various complicated means was assigned an assassination mission of 'sanction, retrieve and leave no one alive'. In fact, the real purpose of their organization was to retrieve a box of special items that your father had stored in the trunk... a few bags of super soldier serum."
The words haven't finished yet.
Click——
Stark suddenly opened his iron visor and stared at Rorschach's diamond-shaped helmet with his bloodshot eyes.
The metal hand that was originally holding the servo robotic arm suddenly fell down powerlessly, and continued to shake violently.
"Just for these worthless, outdated things?"
Stark gradually opened his eyes and grinned with the corners of his cracked mouth. He moved his lips slightly and asked softly.
"Hundreds of people have died because of this stuff, Tony, let's finish the story."
"The assassin on a motorcycle blew up the tire of the vehicle. Your father had no time to react and could only drive the vehicle into a tree stump on the roadside... Your father struggled to get out of the vehicle and seek help, but the assassin broke the bones of his face... In the end, he disguised the murder scene as an accident caused by a vehicle collision..."
Wearing a diamond-shaped helmet, Rorschach slowly told the whole story.
The specific information comes from the incomplete images in his memory and the fragments of stories described by Bucky himself.
"Where's my...mom? Where's my mother?"
The next moment, Stark's breathing became heavier, with a faint sparkling light in his eyes, and he stared into Rorschach's dark eyepiece with a pitiful look that was almost pleading.
"As for your mother... she was severely injured in the collision and was trapped in her seat, unable to move. She was eventually strangled to death in the car by the assassin himself."
Rorschach hesitated slightly.
I decided to tell the other party the truth.
"ah--"
In an instant, Stark, with bloodshot eyes and a distorted, almost insane expression, let out a heart-wrenching, crazy roar.
He kept raising his metal palm and hitting his head repeatedly, and there was no sign of stopping even though his steel mask was completely destroyed.
Rorschach's thoughts raced.
The servo-arm released its grip on the armored steel.
Afterwards, Stark, who regained his freedom, did not launch any attack on Rorschach.
He did not destroy anything around him to vent his anger.
With a ferocious expression and trembling body, Stark fell heavily to his knees on the ground.
He couldn't suppress his screams of pain and kept yelling.
Drops of sparkling water kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
A few minutes later, Stark, as if he had vented all his emotions, suddenly raised his pale face.
He stared at the tall Terminator armor in front of him with his bloodshot eyes, and shouted through gritted teeth:
"Who is the murderer?! As long as you tell me who the murderer is! I will personally make you a set of steel armor! I can even give you the complete technology of the Ark Reactor! Just tell me who the murderer is!"
"Tony, you must have heard of this name since you were a child, but more importantly, do you want to kill a brainwashed killing tool... or do you want to destroy the organization behind the scenes that issued the order to assassinate your parents?"
"Whether it's the murderer or the organization behind it... I want them all—"
"Haha, the only truth I can tell you right now is that the so-called behind-the-scenes organization is the Hydra that has never been destroyed... By the way, they can now also be called 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' to the outside world!"
"Oh, Tony, don't look at me like that. The 'Strategic Scientific Corps' that your father built with his own hands and put a lot of effort into has now been completely infiltrated by Hydra..."
"Replaced!"

Thank you for your support!
Thanks to Zhuxia Nuzhen for the 4500 points!
Why would anyone think that I would kill Iron Man so easily?
Even if it is for the sake of the future plot, he can't die! Haha.
And once he dies, many major events will have loopholes.
