Mysteries On Marvel

After killing the last agent, the Iron Monger turned its crimson, glowing gaze toward Coulson, who was sprinting into the entrance corridor of Sector 16.

The heavy steel behemoth's legs ignited with bursts of flame, unleashing immense propulsion power.

Like a berserk bull, the Iron Monger barreled through precious equipment, leaving a trail of sparks and destruction as it charged into the reinforced corridor—built with bunker-level strength.

But within the confined space of the corridor, the Iron Monger's massive frame became a liability, slowing its pursuit.

Sensing the monstrous presence closing in behind him, Coulson gritted his teeth and pushed his body to its limits, narrowly evading the steel hand that reached for his back.

With a sharp left turn, Coulson disappeared from Obadiah's sight.

The Iron Monger crashed into the corridor walls, lodging its massive steel body in the tight confines.

Watching Coulson's fleeing figure vanish, a cold, menacing voice echoed from the mechanical giant.

"You can't escape. This time, no one will stand in my way… no one…"

Once outside Sector 16, Coulson sprinted toward the laboratory's exit, quickly dialing SHIELD's New York branch.

"This is Coulson. I need heavy firepower support immediately. Obadiah has built a massive suit of armor that looks even stronger than Tony Stark's Iron Man suit. Standard firearms are completely ineffective against him."

"We'll need significant heavy artillery to take him down…"

As Coulson ran, the ground ahead of him suddenly cracked open.

The Iron Monger burst through the surface, its hulking form emerging from the debris.

Without hesitation, Coulson grabbed a high-explosive grenade from his belt and hurled it at the mechanical behemoth's head, diving in the opposite direction as he did.

Boom!

A fiery explosion engulfed the Iron Monger as it was still halfway out of the ground.

Coulson, flattened against the ground, wasted no time. After evading the blast's initial shockwave, he bolted toward a nearby building for cover.

He knew from SHIELD's records that Tony Stark's smaller Iron Man suit could withstand tank shells. There was no way a single grenade would destroy this larger, heavily-armored machine.

Betting on such slim odds was foolish; his only option was to buy time, using the surrounding structures to evade the Iron Monger until reinforcements arrived.

But just as Coulson reached a wall for cover,

Whoosh!

A small rocket from the Iron Monger's arm shot toward him, slamming into the wall ahead.

Boom!

The explosion's force sent Coulson flying backward.

His left arm was severed, and his upper body was drenched in blood. He lay motionless on the ground.

The Iron Monger emerged from the flames, its body scorched but otherwise unharmed. Its crimson eyes glowed with disdain.

With one heavy step, it crushed Coulson's discarded phone, which was still connected to SHIELD.

"Pathetic humans…"

After eliminating the last agent, the Iron Monger's glowing red eyes scanned the surroundings. They quickly locked onto a black Audi speeding away from the Stark Industrial Complex.

The car, carrying Pepper, was fleeing at high speed.

"Pepper… I gave you a chance. Since you've chosen to stand against me, be prepared to pay with your life."

Muttering to itself, the Iron Monger's massive steel frame shifted slightly.

A second later, its legs and palms ignited, unleashing flames and smoke that lifted the heavy machine into the air.

After adjusting its trajectory, the Iron Monger shot off in pursuit of the black Audi.

Inside the black Audi

Sitting in the backseat, Pepper anxiously looked out the rear window.

Seeing the terrifying figure, engulfed in smoke and flames, closing in on them, she shouted to the SHIELD agent driving, "Faster! It's catching up to us!"

"I'm already at full speed!"

The agent, his foot pressed firmly on the gas pedal, replied through gritted teeth. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

The distant sounds of explosions from the lab had already set them on edge.

Determined to protect Pepper, the agent had immediately floored the accelerator, pushing the car to its limits.

But the Iron Monger's propulsion system, designed by Stark Industries' top engineers, gave it a flying speed far beyond anything a ground vehicle could match.

High above, less than fifty meters from the fleeing car, the Iron Monger raised its massive right arm.

The rotary cannon mounted on its arm locked onto the black Audi carrying Pepper.

"Farewell, Pepper."
