#458 - The powerful red Omega

“Danger! Danger! Danger!”

The alarm of artificial intelligence Jarvis sounded. Even with the layers and protective measures, Howard felt as if he had a stove hanging in front of his chest. After reaching the upper limit of what he could withstand, the armor's protective measures automatically stopped the output of the cluster cannon without Howard's command.

“Bang.”

Howard, drenched in sweat, couldn't help but take a step back. The mental exhaustion and physical fatigue were overwhelming. If it weren't for the support of the armor, he might have fallen directly to the ground.

This was not normal. Even the most foolish person could sense it, let alone someone like Howard. He had long noticed his own abnormality, but the Red Omega, like a stubborn plaster, kept attacking him, and Howard simply couldn't spare the time to properly investigate what was going on.

Under that level of energy output, even Hyperion would be knocked down. Howard finally took advantage of the hard-won respite to check his own condition. He was shocked by what he saw.

In the body status column displayed inside the helmet, all his indicators were below the normal average. It was as if he were a patient suffering from long-term malnutrition or disease.

Although Howard was a billionaire and lived a prosperous life, he also paid attention to his physical condition. His physical condition was not as good as that of a front-line athlete, but the gap was not very large. He was a shrewd businessman and knew that his body was a person's most important asset.

A recent physical examination proved that his body was very healthy. When he first put on the armor, all his indicators were also normal. It had only been less than ten minutes, and he had become like this.

There was only one answer: his enemy was playing tricks. This ability to harm other people's bodies should belong to MODOK or one of his subordinates.

Howard understood everything and began to look around. He had to find the owner of this ability immediately, otherwise he might die here.

However, the first thing Howard saw when looking for the mastermind was his enemy, Red Omega. The other party's condition could only be described as lingering. According to Howard's speculation, the other party obviously possessed physical qualities far exceeding those of ordinary people, otherwise he could not have lost only a large part of his body under the maximum output power of the cluster cannon.

Red Omega's body from the neck down to the root of his thighs had disappeared. If it weren't for the Adamantium tentacles and bones connecting them, his remaining limbs would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Looking at Red Omega's skeleton, which exuded a wonderful luster and was intact, Howard speculated that he might have replaced all the bones in his body with Adamantium, just like the escaped test subject.

Otherwise, under the attack of the cluster cannon, the other party's bones should have disappeared just like his flesh. However, no matter how strong the skeleton is, it is useless. A living being cannot survive on bones alone.

Howard's gaze fixed on Red Omega. In his opinion, the culprit for his weakening body should be the Red Omega in front of him. The reason why he was so sure was because of Falcon's tragic state.

But what puzzled Howard was that he had never had physical contact with Red Omega from beginning to end. How did the other party affect him?

The closest the other party was to him was when he used his laser knife to chop the alloy tentacles, but that was also indirect contact. Why?

However, no matter what the reason, it was no longer important. No matter what kind of mutant ability it was, as long as the ability owner was eliminated, the ability would be defeated.

Howard's eyes flickered, and the machine gun on his left shoulder began to deform. The barrel was extended by one times, and many parts were assembled onto the machine gun. The bullets were replaced. In just a few seconds, a machine gun became a sniper rifle.

He loaded the armor-piercing bullets used to target tanks. After being aimed by Jarvis, a loud noise rang out and a uniquely shaped bullet shot into Red Omega's eye socket at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

“Clang!”

With a crisp sound, Red Omega's head did not explode into minced meat under the bombardment of the large-caliber sniper rifle, and the bullet did not pass through his body. All of this was thanks to the protection of Adamantium.

Howard was afraid that the bullet would not be able to penetrate the skull made of Adamantium, so he specially shot the bullet into the other party's eye socket. As expected, although the bullet went in, it could only stay in the other party's head because it could not penetrate the skull.

However, although the head did not explode, Red Omega's brain must have become like yogurt, and he was probably dead beyond dead.

No! Howard immediately noticed something was wrong. The most satisfactory creation of MODOK was clearly dead in the hands of the most hated himself, so why could the other party still put on a confident expression?

Moreover, his own health level not only did not recover, but was still declining. This was too abnormal, which meant that Red Omega had not died.

“Ah!”

“Save me!”

A scream rang out from behind. Howard turned his head wearily to look behind him. Two alloy tentacles had drilled into the ground at some point, went around Howard, and grabbed two guests.

Howard did not dare to act rashly. He felt that his body was now on the verge of collapse. The life support system in the armor had already been activated automatically. He had been injected with adrenaline and glucose, but this was just a drop in the bucket.

In the desperate eyes of the two guests, and the other people's eyes of fear or anger, the alloy tentacles pierced straight through the bodies of the two guests.

In painful wails, the muscles of the two people pierced by the alloy tentacles瘪 went down at a speed visible to the naked eye, their skin became withered, and their hair turned gray. In the blink of an eye, they turned into two mummies.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“Huff~”

And the instigator of all this, Red Omega let out a comfortable moan. Amidst the crowd's horror and MODOK's laughter, he was reshaping his body at a speed exceeding the naked eye.

In less than a second, Red Omega reappeared intact in front of everyone.

“Pah!”

Red Omega spat out the armor-piercing bullet that had been shot into his brain just now. It fell to the ground with a clang, as if mocking Howard's wasted effort.

“How is it, Howard Stark? This is the ultimate biological weapon I invented!” MODOK spread his hands. “Even the strongest hero Hyperion cannot retreat completely in front of him!”

“Enhanced body, self-healing ability, life absorption, Red Omega has only shown three abilities and you can't bear it anymore.”

“Three?” Howard's weak voice came from the armor. “Don't be ridiculous, I don't believe that the culprit who turned me into this is not him.”
