"Hey! Wait a second!" Just as Tony and Yinsen were about to go down and show off their skills to eliminate those terrorists, Raiden suddenly spoke up and stopped them.
"What's wrong?" Tony turned around and asked, puzzled.
"Uh... want some cookies?" Raiden suddenly waved his hand, and a bag of cookies appeared out of thin air.
"What the hell?" Tony looked at Raiden with a dumbfounded expression.
You brought these along? We're in the middle of something important here, and you're offering cookies? Are you serious?
Raiden noticed Tony confused gaze and felt a bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and explained.
"I think I've come up with a good idea. How about this, you guys eat something and wait for a bit, let me think it over. Those guys aren't going anywhere anyway."
Tony looked at Raiden blankly, and seeing that Raiden didn't seem to be joking, he reluctantly took the cookies. He opened his faceplate and ate one, then said anxiously.
"How about this, I'll go scout ahead first. You and Yinsen stay here for a while."
"Hmm, that works too" Raiden thought for a moment and nodded.
Tony handed the cookies back to Raiden, then flew towards the depths of the valley.
Watching Tony departing figure, Raiden came back to his senses and ate cookies while pondering his plan. What Raiden needed now was energy. He still needed an external force to help him summon lightning.
Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Raiden was just one step away from what he needed.
Raiden wasn't without such an external force that could help him. He had one, but the key question was, was it worth it? Was it necessary to destroy this valley?
Raiden felt that he might have changed. In the past, whether this valley existed or not didn't really matter, as long as those terrorists were dealt with... But now, something seemed to have been added to Raiden body. Was it anger? Or desire?
While Raiden was struggling with a troubled expression, he suddenly noticed that Yinsen was staring intently at him... or rather, at the cookies in his hand?
"Yinsen, do you want some?" Raiden asked, waving the cookies.
Yinsen nodded his huge wolf head, his golden eyes revealing a hint of longing.
Raiden raised his eyebrows and handed the cookies to Yinsen, but Yinsen paws couldn't successfully take the cookies out of the bag. Raiden was about to help him, but unexpectedly, Yinsen just threw the entire bag into his mouth.
"Yinsen, why don't you change back to human form to eat?" Raiden asked, puzzled.
"Growl growl."
Muffled sounds came from Yinsen throat, completely indistinguishable. Raiden could only shake his head helplessly and continue pondering his idea.
In Raiden' hand, a crystal-clear stone was emitting a strange, profound light. This was the bald man's soul stone. Within this soul stone lay the power Raiden needed. Because inside it was not only the power of the bald man's soul but also Raiden's own power.
At that time, to ensure the bald man would suffer eternal pain, Raiden had sealed a considerable amount of power inside. Now, with the power of the bald man soul, plus his own power sealed inside, he should be able to summon lightning, right?
However, Raiden was somewhat reluctant to let go, after all, the bald man's punishment had just begun. It had only been one day, and letting him be freed now seemed a bit too lenient. Raiden picked up the soul stone and held it up to his eyes.
Through the sunlight, the tortured soul inside, caught between ice and fire, was clearly visible.
Let's do it this way!
Raiden made up his mind, because perhaps this would also be the best punishment for the bald man? Using his power to eliminate evil, how interesting.
With this thought in mind, Raiden decided to take action. He would use the energy of this soul stone to summon lightning. Raiden raised his wrist and spoke to the watch on it.
"Serana, help me call Mr. Stark."
"Certainly, sir."
Soon, Tony voice came through the watch. "What is it, Raiden?"
"How's your situation, Tony?" Raiden asked.
"I've finished scouting. There are several caves deep in the valley, and those guys are all hiding in those caves" Tony responded.
"Then come back first. I've found a way to deal with them all at once."
"Alright, I'll be right back." After a while, a gold and red figure flew over from the sky.
"Raiden, what method did you find?" Tony asked as he landed.
Raiden waved the soul stone in his hand and said.
"I can... Wait a minute!"
Looking at Tony who had just landed, Raiden suddenly rushed a few steps to Tony front, startling Tony who instinctively stepped back. Raiden tapped on the arc reactor on Tony chest and asked.
"This thing, does it have enough energy?"
"I just fully charged it today, why?" Tony said puzzledly.
"Oh~" Raiden said with some excitement.
"Then this way, I might have a new method."
"What method?" Tony asked, not understanding.
...
"OhMyGod, is this your method?" Tony sat on the ground in his bodysuit, with scattered parts of the Iron Man suit around him. From Tony chest, a wire was pulled out from the arc reactor, held in Raiden hand.
"Trust me," Raiden said, waving his hand.
Raiden had just suddenly thought that when it comes to energy, the energy contained in Tony arc reactor was far more than that in the soul stone.
It seems the bald man would have to continue receiving his deserved punishment! Thinking this, Raiden's mood improved considerably, his previous hesitation vanishing without a trace.
"Tony, let's begin!" Raiden gripped the wire in his hand and said to Tony.
Tony frowned and activated the arc reactor on his chest.
Following that, an enormous power surged through the wire in Raiden hand, flowing from Raiden palm into his body.
The unrestrained power raged inside Raiden body, stimulating his dry cells, but before it could cause any damage to Raiden body, it would be devoured by Raiden cells.
Watching the energy gradually being absorbed from the arc reactor, Tony tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed. Earlier, he had been worried that Raiden wouldn't be able to absorb it, after all, Tony, as the inventor of the arc reactor, knew how immense its power was.
However, after a while, Tony's brows furrowed again. Energy down to eighty percent, energy down to sixty percent, energy down to forty percent... Shit, Tony quickly said to Raiden.
"Raiden, stop, stop!"
Raiden was still immersed in that surging power. Hearing Tony call, Raiden finally came to his senses and instinctively let go of the circuit in his hand.
The energy transfer was terminated. Tony looked at the reactor with only seven percent energy left, feeling a bit distressed, and asked Raiden.
"Are you alright?"
"I've never felt better." Raiden clenched his fists and said, "I feel like I could take a bit more."
"You might be able to, but I can't. I still need this thing to stay alive" Tony said, patting the reactor.
Raiden waved his hand apologetically. Tony shook his head and said.
"So, what's next? Let's see your performance?"
"Of course!" Raiden readily agreed. "Now, watch me!"
Power swirled around Raiden body, ancient languages chanted in the world.
As the power of nature was pushed to its limits... some people gazes were also being drawn towards them.
