Chapter 512: One Stone, Three Birds
Swear on God?
Eric froze for a few seconds, this is not a trivial matter.
You must know that in Western beliefs, God can be said to be a unique existence. After all, it is the common belief of the three major sects in the world, so under normal circumstances, few people dare to swear in the name of God.
Especially the content of the oath is so 'vicious'!
Going to hell to be burned and impaled is not a casual oath.
If you have a general understanding of the history of the West, you can know that this oath is aimed at Count Dracula, that is, the rumored betrayal of God, turned into a blood-sucking monster, and the vampire Count who is famous for impalement punishment .
From this we can imagine the seriousness of Tony's oath.
In the Middle East, where the faith is stronger, the punishment for breaking God's oath is more severe, so Eric subconsciously believes that Tony should not break his promise, so he told all the truth he knew.
From Eric's description, Tony got a shocking news.
The Mandarin who really controls the Ten Rings is Aldredge Killian, the founder of AIM and the developer of the Extremis virus, the collaborator in Maya Hansen's mouth, and the bearded old man who appeared on TV, In fact, it is an actor stand-in.
Killian took advantage of the particularity of the Extremis virus to win over a large number of soldiers who were disabled due to the war. By injecting them with the Extremis virus drug, Killian created a large number of dead soldiers who only followed their lead.
And Killian's evil plan is far more than that.
His real goal is to approach and kidnap the most authoritative president of the United States by robbing Roddy's war machine, so as to control the largest terrorist criminal organization in the dark with one hand and the most powerful empire in the world on the bright side with one hand.
"Why did you take Potts?" Tony asked again.
"Master Killian said that you don't deserve to have such a good woman as Miss Potts, and I want you to feel the pain he suffered at that time." Anyway, it has been leaked, and Eric felt like he was breaking the pot, and said: "He still needs to inject Potts with the Extremis virus, but the medicine is still being adjusted, so it will probably take a while."
Tony clenched his fists subconsciously, feeling that time was getting tighter, and said: "There is one last question, who turned you into this half-empty form?"
"No... I don't know." Eric looked blank, but seeing the cold light flashing in Tony's eyes, he shouted in horror: "I... I remember, the last At the beginning, we injected the Extremis virus, and it would not become the current state, until a person suddenly came that day."
"A person?" Tony narrowed his eyes slightly: "Go on, who is it?"
"It was a woman, wearing a white military uniform." Eric swallowed, recalled: "She has been wearing a mask, her whereabouts are very mysterious, we have never seen her appearance, we can become this The shape is what happened after the woman appeared."
"It really is an invisible empire..."
Tony closed his eyes slowly, already knowing who that person was.
If the prediction is correct, that woman should be the person who appeared at the fair, kidnapped Potts and injured Peter and Happy, and she was also the murderer behind the scenes that caused these people to blur.
But when he thought of that Hasward, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling.
The reason behind the sudden intervention of the Invisible Empire's Quincy is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. At least he doesn't think that Killian's Extremis virus alone can attract the Invisible Empire.
Unless Killian holds something in his hand that can arouse the interest of the Quincy.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that the invisible empire, which has been able to compete with the soul world for thousands of years, and even makes it extremely fearful, will suddenly join hands with the leader of a terrorist organization. This does not make sense in any way.
"I've told you all the secrets, can you let me go now?" Eric asked cautiously, interrupting Tony who was in deep thought.
"Of course you can~"
Tony withdrew his scattered thoughts, looked at him meaningfully, and said, "It's just that the place you're going to should be the world of the dead."
"You...you don't keep your promise!" Eric instantly understood what he meant, and yelled in horror: "You have sworn to God, so you are not afraid of breaking your vow and being punished after death. Go to hell?!"
"I'm sorry......"
The blade Tony held was slightly deflected, and he tilted his head and said, "I'm the god of death now, and I don't belong to the old man of God. And the most important point is, no one told you, don't believe what the capitalists say?"
As we all know, what capitalists say is basically farting.
What's more, from the beginning, Tony didn't intend to let Eric go. Countless people died under his hands for such a criminal terrorist. If he was released, he would only cause more harm.
It is true that keeping promises is a virtue, but only if it is based on morality.
Eric growled and wanted to fight to the death, but it was a pity that he was doomed to do nothing. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how he struggled in the middle, it would not affect the final outcome.
bass!
The clear sound of the knife sounded, and a cold light was reflected in Eric's pupils.
Immediately, a feeling of weightlessness came, and the scene in front of Eric's eyes was spinning. Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he saw the back of his body, and Tony standing on his shoulder, swinging his sword back into the sheath.
"You lied to me......"
Eric, who had only one head left, stared at Tony with resentful eyes, as if this could kill him.
"Yes, I lied to you."
The corner of Tony's lips curled into a hint of sarcasm, and he said coldly: "The people I hate the most in my life are you terrorists, and I want you to let me kill you, unless God himself comes down to intercede someday!"
In a mood full of unwillingness and resentment, Eric's half-empty body disintegrated into spirit particles and dissipated into the air.
Looking at the ruined villas all around, Tony was silent for a few minutes, and then said calmly: "Jarvis, spread some news on the Internet that I was attacked by the Ten Rings and died unfortunately."
"With all due respect, Mr. Stark." Jarvis was puzzled by the order and asked, "It won't do you any good to do so, and in the absence of Miss Potts, if you spread such news, It will lead to big problems within the group.”
"I just want this effect."
Tony came to the bottom floor, walked slowly into his skeleton, stared at the unconscious Maya Hansen, and said: "To investigate the invisible empire, I must disappear from the public's sight, no one will suspect a dead person, only That way I have a chance of saving Potts."
"Mr. Stark, do you need to notify S.H.I.E.L.D. in advance?" Jarvis asked again.
Tony thought about it carefully, and felt that it was too dangerous to do so, so he shook his head and said, "Don't inform them for now, Fury should be able to guess it."
The seriousness of this matter was beyond his control.
The powerful Tony of the Invisible Empire has long seen that it is easy to destroy a city. He knows that it is absolutely impossible to compete with it alone. wrestling qualifications.
But the problem is that the soul world is also his 'enemy'!
The Soul Society may not be able to clean up the invisible empire, but it can definitely clean up this impostor with ease.
Therefore, he had to grasp the scale well, and guide the soul world to discover traces of the invisible empire through some extremely subtle means without attracting the attention of the soul world.
In this way, he can fish in troubled waters.
While rescuing Potts, they can also destroy Killian's plan and smash the conspiracy of the invisible empire, which can be called killing three birds with one stone!
"Let's go, to Tennessee!"
Tony took a deep breath and said worriedly: "I hope everything will go as smoothly as I wish."
