    However, just as Gordon's hand touched Tony's, before he could unleash his powers, Tony's steel armor suddenly emitted a strong electrical discharge, directly shocking Gordon into Parkinson's disease and causing him to faint subsequently.

    "You may not know, my suit has an automatic defense system!"

    Looking at the electrocuted Gordon lying on the ground, Tony said with a hint of pride.

    This is the new ability he has gained with his suit. Even when he is in a coma, the suit can still launch a counterattack under Jarvis' control, after assessing the danger.

    Even if he had not yet fully reacted to the shockwave from the previous impact, he could still use this ability to stun Gordon, who was planning something nefarious against him.

    "Gordon!"

    Seeing Gordon being electrocuted, Dizzy instantly turned her sonic wave to its maximum level, and Tony was immediately sent flying back to Steve and Rocket.

    "Great strength of this seismic woman!"

    George watched as the Seismic woman blocked several critical attacks with her moves, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

    He remembered the seismic woman from the TV show; she didn't seem to have such strong abilities.

    However, he seems to have heard that in the comics, the Seismic Girl defeated Magneto, and whether it's true or not, I'm not sure.

    "Wow, the army has arrived too. It's a familiar face leading them."

    At this moment, George noticed a large contingent of soldiers and tanks, along with various military armaments, appearing not far away, led by the General Ross he had met once before.

    "Piers, all members of Hydra, immediately surrender or we will launch a full-scale attack!"

    Ross operated the large speaker inside the command vehicle, yelling warnings to the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.

    "Those guys, they're really taking their time."

    Tony stood up, the attack had not injured him, but only pushed him back.

    Previously, due to the spy of Hydra's continuous effort, both the World Security Council and the US government were uncertain whether Nick Fury was telling the truth or not, so they did not intervene in the duel between them.

    But this time, the commotion was so great that Nick Fury is dead, and Iron Man Tony has also testified and contacted high-level government officials, only then did everyone understand the seriousness of the situation.

    The president appointed General Ross to lead all the troops stationed near Washington to the Triskelion Tower to prevent Hydra's space carrier from taking off.

    Seeing the large army approaching, the remaining Hydra robots and soldiers, along with the other beings, all retreated to the entrance of the building and set up their final defense.

    "I advise you not to attack anymore, all of the agents who invaded here just now have been captured by me."

    Moreover, there are still many S.H.I.E.L.D. loyalists held captive by us inside the building.

    "If you continue to attack, I will immediately execute them."

    Piers, through the loudspeaker, threatened everyone outside.

    With less than a minute remaining before the space carrier takes off, he didn't need the others to actually be too scared to attack. As long as he could use this to delay just a little more time, it would be enough.

    "Piers, do you think I'm intimidated by you?"

    General Ross coldly snorted from inside the command vehicle and ordered his subordinates:

    "All-out attack! No holds barred, flatten the entire Triskelion Tower and make sure those three space carriers are completely scrapped!"

    This was the death sentence he had received from the government's high-ups before he arrived, to stop the space carriers from taking off at all costs, and not even the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents or even nearby civilians could be spared if necessary.

    With General Ross's order to attack, all the weapons of the army were now targeted at the Triskelion Tower. Ground tanks, soldiers carrying rocket launchers, and missile-carrying armed helicopters in the air were all ready to fire.

    If all of them were to fire, there's no doubt that the entire Triskelion Tower would be reduced to rubble.

    And naturally, all the Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents inside would be buried along with it.

    "Dizzy, stop them!"

    Standing in front of the Director's office window, Piers was not surprised by General Ross's decision, nor did he worry, as he had already had a strategy prepared.

    Dizzy, standing in front of the building, heard the command and activated her own abilities with both hands touching the ground.

    Her ability was considered the most powerful among all the Inhumans by her mother Ying, and it was much more than just releasing sonic waves for attack.

    "What's going on?"

    Just as General Ross had given the order, he realized something was wrong with the command vehicle.

    It turned out that the ground beneath the military started to shake violently due to Dizzy's ability, followed by cracks opening up one after another.

    The tanks and soldiers who were aiming their weapons fell into the cracks before they could fire.

    At this moment, the large lake beside the Triskelion Tower suddenly split open, and the three massive space carriers slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.

    "Attack the space carriers!"

    Ross quickly ordered the armed helicopters, which were still operational, to switch targets and lock onto the space carriers.

    Unfortunately, before the missiles from the armed helicopters could be aimed, the energy cannons on the three space carriers had already been activated, and a dense array of energy beams erupted from the carriers.

    The armed helicopters in the sky were immediately obliterated, and the army on the ground, still recovering from the earthquake, was completely disorganized and lost all their counterattack capabilities.

    "Tony, take us up there!"

    Steve quickly turned to Tony as he realized what needed to be done.

    From Piers using hostages to threaten General Ross, to his cold rejection of the option to bomb the building, and now the entire army is defeated, it's only been one minute.

    Whether to stop General Ross from saving the hostages first, all three of them had not yet reached a consensus.

    Captain America advocated for saving the hostages first. Sacrificing a few to save many is not his style, especially since among the hostages is his good friend Bucky.

    Tony was quite torn. On one hand, he believed General Ross was right in his actions, while on the other hand, he couldn't accept it emotionally.

    Logan hadn't quite processed what was happening yet, as things were unfolding too quickly.

    "Okay!"

    Tony instantly understood Steve's intentions. In this situation, there was no time for indecision. He would take the two of them to catch up to the three space carriers and each board one to see if they could somehow bring them down from the air.

    Suddenly, a voice broke in and interrupted the three of them.

    "I'll handle this. There's no need to go up there."

    The three of them turned around to find George standing behind them.

    "George, you're here! That's great!"

    Seeing George appear, the three of them immediately brightened up.

    "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle this on your own, so I came over to check in, and I didn't expect things to escalate to such a level."

    George spread his wings, preparing to fly up and shoot down the three space carriers.

    At this time, the World Security Council should also have realized the power of the sky carriers, and involving them would be the most effective solution.

    However, at that very moment, Tony suddenly turned pale:

    "Rod said there's a nuclear bomb on its way here, and the World Security Council believes the situation is out of control, so they've decided to use a nuclear bomb on this location!"
