Mysteries On Marvel

Almost at the moment the cursed thread latched onto the truck, Eren yanked it forcefully, using its momentum to leap toward the vehicle.

The next second, the garbage truck Eren had been riding was struck by the missile fired from Iron Monger.

Boom!

A small mushroom cloud erupted instantly.

Blinding flames dispelled the darkness, lighting up New York's night sky. The explosion's shockwave shredded the garbage truck and sent every nearby vehicle within a ten-meter radius flying.

Even the truck tangled in the cursed thread wasn't spared.

"Wow, that really stung!"

Covered in dust, Eren nonchalantly stood up on the roadside, brushing himself off as if nothing had happened.

Thud, thud!

Seeing the clown-masked troublemaker still alive, Iron Monger stomped heavily, flames jetting from its mechanical feet as it leapt over several overturned cars and landed with a thunderous crash in front of Eren.

The ground beneath him trembled violently from the impact.

Closing in step by step, Iron Monger raised its rotary machine gun. A chilling voice boomed from within:

"Goodbye, clown. Let me send you to hell first!"

As the rotary barrel began to spin, a glint of cold light flashed in Eren's eyes.

"You just don't learn, do you?"

"Tremble, bastard!"

[Dread Gaze]

The instant Iron Monger's electronic eyes met Eren's, the soul-shaking [Dread Gaze] struck again.

Eren dashed forward, deftly circling around Iron Monger several times. Then, pulling a grenade from his pocket, he jammed it into a gap in Iron Monger's left leg armor.

As he finished, Eren instinctively ducked.

The next second, a massive mechanical arm whooshed past, just missing his head.

Obadiah, though stunned again by [Dread Gaze], recovered faster this time. The force of his near-miss punch generated a wind so fierce it made Eren's exposed skin sting.

"Hiss…"

Rolling forward to avoid the attack, Eren smirked beneath his mask. Mimicking an explosion, he whispered softly:

"Boom."

Almost as if on cue, the grenade wedged in Iron Monger's left leg detonated with a deafening explosion.

While a grenade wouldn't typically damage Iron Monger's armor externally, one placed within a joint was devastating. The explosion blasted away the alloy plating at Iron Monger's left knee, burning through vital circuits.

The damage caused Iron Monger to stagger, collapsing onto one knee.

Eren casually stepped a few paces away, standing before the kneeling Iron Monger. He cleared his throat dramatically and declared with mock solemnity:

"Rise, my knight!"

Inside the mech, Obadiah was so enraged by the clown's antics he nearly choked.

"You bastard!"

"Do you think you've won?"

With a furious roar, the mysterious blue energy core in Iron Monger's chest pulsed, sending a stream of blue light toward its damaged left leg.

The blue energy flowed across the damaged joint, forming a shimmering membrane that repaired the shattered components at an astonishing speed.

Within moments, the left leg was fully restored—except for the missing armor plating.

"What is this?"

Eren tilted his head, intrigued by the glowing core. A wicked grin spread beneath his mask.

"Interesting. I'd love to take that thing apart for study!"

With its leg fully functional again, Iron Monger rose, emitting a furious mechanical growl.

"You want to study me? Let me crush you into a pulp first!"

Boom!

Iron Monger's heavy mechanical legs slammed into the ground, cracking the pavement like a spiderweb. Using the resulting force, the steel behemoth launched itself toward Eren at breakneck speed.

Its massive right fist, larger than a sandbag, was poised to smash the clown into nothing more than a bloody stain.

Iron Monger's intent was clear: to show Eren the frailty of human flesh against the might of steel and the consequences of defiance.

Yet, as the towering mech hurtled toward him, Eren remained unfazed. Calmly, he snapped his fingers.

The once-ferocious Iron Monger suddenly stumbled, crashing face-first into the pavement. The impact carved a deep trench into the ground.

Eren casually stepped aside, avoiding the flailing mech as sparks and smoke burst from its battered frame. Even parts of its alloy armor appeared deformed, as though constricted by silver threads.

Eren chuckled coldly.

Did they really think he had only planted a grenade during the earlier confrontation?

In those few seconds, Eren had also entwined cursed threads around several critical points on Iron Monger's frame.

As long as Iron Monger moved, the threads would tighten, transforming into deadly restraints and weapons.

If pushed hard enough, those cursed threads, imbued with significant mystical energy, could even slice through the steel giant entirely.
