Chapter 45: Tony's shock! Skyfire kills the Lizardman instantly!
---
"Latest news! Latest news!"
"A humanoid mecha has appeared on top of the Osborn building! A humanoid mecha has appeared on the top of the Osborn building!"
"It's transforming! It changed from a car to a robot during the live stream!"
"What is this?! What is this?!"
The TV reporter roared from the helicopter. His excited voice was transmitted through the microphone to everyone watching the broadcast. The viewers were stunned. The lizard man and Spider-Woman were already enough to handle, but now there was this big mech?!
Skyfire, standing more than nine meters tall on the roof of the building with its fiery red body, was extremely eye-catching. Everyone could only look up in awe.
In the northern building, Lorien held his popcorn, watching the live broadcast, and felt something was off. "It seems...it's really a bit ostentatious..." But there was no turning back now. It was public. Anyway, very few people knew whose car it was. If you've been seen, might as well continue the act.
In a beach house in Los Angeles, Tony didn't think so. At the moment, he was developing the nano-armor and had reached a critical moment, unable to spare himself to take care of other things. He had also reminded Friday not to bother him unless it was important. Block any news.
But Friday still gave a direct reminder. "Sir, the latest technological product has appeared in New York City. I think you need to take a look."
"Puffing~" Tony was taken aback by Friday's sudden announcement. But after hearing that something significant had happened, he could only sigh. If only J.A.R.V.I.S was still around. When J.A.R.V.I.S reminded him, it would automatically lower its voice and remind him in a slow tone, unlike Friday, who sounded like an emotionless frigid secretary.
"Well..." Tony approached the computer and waved his hand in the air to bring up the screen with Friday's reminder. The result screen displayed the live broadcast from the TV station and footage from Tony's own satellite. Yes, Tony had his own satellite, much like Musk's Starlink.
But the most important thing now was the shapeshifting Transformer: Skyfire. Tony watched Skyfire closely and then gestured to zoom in. The satellite started zooming in on the image.
Tony scrutinized every detail of Skyfire's body and then shook his head. "It doesn't make sense. This state cannot become a human form. Machinery may also change from a car to life in this way. There must be other technologies. Is it nanotechnology?"
Tony pondered, trying to figure out the technology that allowed Skyfire to transform from a car into a humanoid mecha. He analyzed it in his head many times, concluding that Skyfire's core technology was completely different from his Mark Armor. The two were on entirely different technological paths. "What kind of technology is that?" Tony mused, diving into research.
At the same time, under the spotlight, Skyfire didn't say a word, nor did it greet anyone. "Pff~" It directly drew the long sword from its waist. With all eyes on it, Skyfire pointed at Dr. Lizard.
"Wow~!" Gwen immediately understood. "You are Lorien's friend! Or did Lorien ask you to come here?!" Skyfire didn't respond, just raised its sword and walked toward Dr. Lizard.
"Two bugs!" Dr. Lizard spat, then rushed at Skyfire with his large fists. But in the next moment, "Boom!" Skyfire stepped forward, sending Dr. Lizard flying back faster than he had come. Dr. Lizard hit the floor with a smack. Skyfire continued to approach, ready to eliminate Dr. Lizard.
"F**k!!!" Dr. Lizard struggled to get up and then swore. He turned and ran. It wasn't stupid; after just one encounter, it knew it couldn't fight the 9-meter-high mech.
Seeing Dr. Lizard run, Gwen was momentarily frozen. Did his attitude change so quickly? But what everyone didn't expect was that Skyfire was faster! "Boom!!!" Suddenly, Skyfire's waist, legs, and feet ejected energy flames, with Mach rings swaying behind. In an instant, Skyfire disappeared and reappeared next to Dr. Lizard. As Dr. Lizard tried to jump from the building, Skyfire swung its long sword twice, from left to right and top to bottom. "Pff~"
Skyfire then sheathed its long sword. Dr. Lizard, now in four pieces—up, down, left, and right—fell from the building. Even its head was split in half, making it impossible to revive.
