"Oh right! I just remembered you probably wouldn't know how to use this now!"
"Here! Let me teach you!" Lin Feng took the triangular device back and pressed it onto Tony's chest, tapping the arc reactor twice.
The next second, countless nanoparticles surged out like an ant swarm, startling Tony!
"Whoa, whoa... What is this?" Tony looked at the changes happening to his body in surprise. The silver "ant swarm" was very fast, crawling along Tony's limbs.
"Nanotechnology! Tony, don't forget to return it to me when you're done!"
With that, Lin Feng floated into the air, patted his behind, and flew away.
After two months apart, Lin Feng was eager to return and have an in-depth exchange with Susan!
With this set of nano-armor, Tony's safety and revenge plan were no longer an issue.
In a short time, nanoparticles covered Tony's entire body, forming a golden and red exterior. A future suit, brimming with sci-fi and muscle, made its debut in an era it didn't belong to.
The signature golden-red color scheme of Iron Man, combined with more fluid, muscular lines, highlighted the fusion of power and technology.
Clang!
The indicator lights on the outer armor and the lights inside the helmet lit up in succession, and lines of data began to scroll. The suit started its self-check.
"Sir! I've connected!" Before Tony could react, a voice emerged from within the suit.
"Jarvis?"
"It is I, sir!" Jarvis replied. The moment the nano-armor took shape, Jarvis had connected.
"Checking suit data, sir!"
As soon as Jarvis came online, he began loading the suit data without Tony needing to ask!
Streams of data flickered across the display inside the helmet. Tony observed his armor-clad arms through the visor.
The familiar golden-red two-tone was his style!
Compared to Tony's current suits, the curves of the arms were smoother and more robust.
Tony lifted his foot and took a couple of steps.
The first sensation was that of immense smoothness, lightness, and flexibility.
This alone was beyond anything he had achieved with his suits so far!
"Could it be... a suit made by my future self!"
Tony's eyes flickered, a thought flashing through his mind as he patiently waited for Jarvis's data analysis.
Though it only took a few seconds, it felt like an eternity to Tony.
The self-check ended quickly, and Jarvis's voice sounded again: "An utterly incredible masterpiece! How did you create it?"
As the data was sorted, even Jarvis, an artificial intelligence, was amazed!
And its signature was from a familiar line of English.
Tony Stark...
Tony also saw his name, and his heart skipped uncontrollably.
"Release the suit data first!" Tony said, calming himself down.
At this point, Tony was immensely curious about the suit's capabilities!
"Data updated, suit codename: Mark 85."
Tony's heart stirred. This designation further validated his thoughts – this suit was indeed from his future self!
"This suit utilizes nanotechnology, with supplementary nanoparticles that allow the suit to self-repair when locally damaged!"
"Equipped with conventional weapons such as arm missiles, shoulder missiles, and more!"
"It possesses a field energy-amplifying proton cannon, hand-mounted impact beam amplifiers, impact spikes, and a laser cutting device."
"Nano-alloy shield, energy shield! The freely deformable nano-material can be combined into melee weapons!"
"It's even equipped with a medical spray and emergency repair fillers, sir!"
Tony's breathing quickened.
Lines of data were listed within the helmet.
Technologies that currently only existed in theory were integrated into the suit.
It completely outclassed all his Iron Man suits to date.
The Mark 42 instantly felt inadequate!
"Flight capability several times the speed of sound, and even the ability to operate in space!"
"Incredible destructive power and defensive performance, along with ease of use, multi-functionality, and perfect endurance!" Jarvis continued.
"The technology it possesses does not belong to this era, sir! I am more inclined to believe this is equipment manufactured by your future self! After all, the displayed designation is MK85..."
"That's right, I am now completely convinced that Lin Feng really went to the future..." Tony murmured, looking at the frightening suit data before him.
This suit was too sci-fi! So sci-fi that Tony felt like he was dreaming.
But thinking that this nano-suit was crafted by his future self, Tony's blood boiled with excitement again.
He was worthy of himself! This suit incorporated all his ideas! It was simply perfect!
"Jarvis, incorporate all Mark 85 technologies into the new suit project."
"Reverse-engineer all the technologies, and let's start by replicating the nanoparticles!"
"Now, let's go have a talk with the Mandarin!"
After his excitement subsided, Tony, clad in the brand-new nano-suit, soared into the sky, heading towards Miami.
At this moment, he was exceptionally confident about his revenge. The technology developed by his 2023 self was, in this era, simply called crushing!
With the Mark 85's enhancement, the Mandarin, and Kilian behind him, would no longer pose a fatal threat.
Lin Feng knew this too, which was why after handing the Mark 85 to Tony, he quickly went home to dote on Susan...
After two months apart, Lin Feng was practically suffocating...
On a dark and windy night, some walked the path of revenge, while others explored the long-lost mysteries!
However, the happy Lin Feng was unaware that elsewhere, another person was already turning black with suppressed frustration.
On the Helicarrier, Director Fury stared grimly at a series of reports.
Another damn day of overtime!
"Sir!" Hill entered, holding a new document.
"We've observed that Lin Feng has returned to Earth!"
"Do we need to contact him?" Hill asked as she put down the folder.
This was based on information Lin Feng had divulged earlier, details about Hydra...
Nick Fury put down the document he was reading and did not look at the new one.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk, his mind restless.
"Contacting him is useless! Let's take down the remaining few Hydra bases first!"
"Send Steve, Natasha, and Clint together!"
"Oh, and have Bruce Banner on standby. Hopefully, we won't need his rage this time!"
Hearing this, Hill nodded and then thought of something. "Do we need to call Tony Stark?"
Nick Fury waved his hand: "Not for now!"
"He's got his own fire to put out, let him deal with his own problems first!"
Nick Fury had been continuously monitoring the recent activities of all the superheroes.
Tony's current primary objective was to deal with the highly publicized Mandarin.
