Tony saw that Captain Marvel couldn't take the whip head-on.
He immediately conjured another super long whip from his left hand.
At the same time, several small drones wriggled out from his back and began firing venomous stings at Captain Marvel.
However, Captain Marvel was incredibly fast, and the stings couldn't keep up with her.
Captain Marvel dodged the stings and punched towards Tony with a glow.
Tony retracted his right hand and transformed it into a shield again.
*Bang!*
"This mohawk's punch is really something!"
A right jab, a left hook, and when his hands weren't enough, he used his feet.
Tony retreated continuously, his shield shrinking to the size of Captain America's shield.
He took hits while fighting back.
Close combat?
Tony gave a command, and his armor began to flow, instantly covering his entire body with stings filled with a green liquid, making Lin Feng feel a bit queasy.
Seeing Tony transform into a spiked behemoth, Captain Marvel decisively abandoned close combat and switched to a hit-and-run strategy.
She maintained her distance, spinning around Tony.
Simultaneously, her arms continuously fired photon energy blasts at Tony.
But with JARVIS's powerful calculations, all of them were either blocked or skillfully dodged without exception.
They exchanged blows and tussled for a long time.
Tony in close combat was like a hedgehog.
At range, he was as agile as a dog.
Captain Marvel couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She was truly fed up.
One by one, what had happened in the years she was away from Earth?
Could it be that her photon energy blasts had become weaker?
She couldn't even handle two mere Earthlings!
Poor Captain Marvel, she didn't know that the Mark 85 was high-tech from nearly ten years in the future.
The Mark 85 alone could withstand the impact of Thanos's Power Stone for a short period.
And now, it was coupled with an unreasonable symbiote.
"This old hag is slippery as a loach!" Tony cursed in frustration after several failed attacks.
The photon energy blasts were painful, and she was as hard to catch as a loach.
Captain Marvel could fly using her own power.
Tony, on the other hand, relied on the thrusters in his hands and feet.
Obviously, in space, Tony's mobility was not as strong as Captain Marvel's.
"Stinger, block her route! I'm going to punch her hard!"
Tony transformed his right hand into a giant, barbed fist with a booster at the tail!
"Understood!" Stinger responded with a growl.
The small drones that had been on standby began firing at Captain Marvel at high frequency.
Captain Marvel dared not touch the green venom and could only fly to dodge. She deliberately exposed a weakness.
Tony seized the opportunity and charged forward.
The booster engaged, providing acceleration.
Tony's fist shot out like thunder.
The barbs and the green venom made Captain Marvel nauseous.
Captain Marvel's eyes could clearly track Tony's fist.
She ducked and, seizing the opportunity, clapped her hands together, a blinding light erupting.
"Not good!" Tony's eyes widened; he was too late to retreat.
In the next second, a double photon energy blast shot out along his fist, hitting Tony squarely in the chest.
Tony was instantly blasted away. This attack had breached his defenses!
His chest was slightly caved in.
The high-temperature photon energy blasts began to slightly melt the armor on his chest.
However, it was quickly and perfectly repaired by Stinger.
Even so, Tony gasped.
He had been careless.
The mohawk really packed a punch!
"Stinger, full power!"
"She can absorb energy, can't she? Let her absorb to her heart's content!"
No matter what it was, absorbing energy had a limit.
Tony didn't believe Captain Marvel could absorb indefinitely!
"Roar!"
Stinger responded.
More drones flew out from behind Tony, all equipped with small cannons.
The drones darted through space, firing laser beams directly at Captain Marvel!
Simultaneously, a massive high-energy beam emitter formed behind Tony, like spider legs.
His hands also transformed into enormous cannon barrels.
His black suit, with its dark golden patterns, began to glow.
A barrage of firepower!
Countless lasers converged, creating an incredibly dazzling laser rain in this small area of space.
"Good!"
Captain Marvel shouted.
Facing the rapidly approaching lasers, Captain Marvel didn't dodge but extended her hands, preparing to withstand them.
The lasers hit Captain Marvel precisely.
For a moment, Captain Marvel shone as brightly as the sun.
She continuously absorbed the energy into her body, her golden aura growing even more intense.
Facing such high-frequency, high-energy attacks, Captain Marvel no longer held back.
Her own energy, mixed with the absorbed energy, rapidly charged up a terrifyingly large photon energy blast.
*Boom!*
The energy blast was unleashed.
"Sir! Energy strike incoming…"
Before JARVIS could finish speaking, the photon energy blast was already upon them.
Poor Tony only focused on attacking and didn't have time to dodge.
This energy blast hit him squarely, turning him into a spectacular explosion.
The laser rain instantly ceased.
Tony let out a yelp and tumbled backward, sparks crackling all over him.
Short-circuited? Could the symbiote armor even short-circuit?
Lin Feng winced just watching the blast.
"Tony, I want chocolate!"
Stinger's voice carried a hint of weakness.
Captain Marvel's photon energy blast was no ordinary projectile.
This powerful blow had clearly injured it, slowing down even the armor's repair speed.
Tony also felt a sharp pain in his chest.
This hit had almost pierced the armor on his chest.
"Eat, eat, eat! We'll eat when we get back!" Tony said, adjusting his chest as the armor slowly repaired.
"Calculate the energy blast data. Next time, I'll dodge it!" Tony remained stationary, giving the order while his armor repaired.
Seeing Tony stationary, Captain Marvel didn't pursue.
Just as Lin Feng had predicted, Captain Marvel wouldn't go for the kill.
"Alright, stop fighting!"
Lin Feng threw away his popcorn and stepped forward.
Tony lacked powerful offensive capabilities, like finishing moves or ultimate attacks.
His main offensive methods were energy weapons and melee weapons.
Even wearing the Mark 85, and a symbiote version at that, Tony still couldn't defeat a serious Captain Marvel.
After all, Captain Marvel's Binary mode was quite formidable.
Tony wisely ceased his attack and began analyzing the battle with Stinger.
He just wanted to test the symbiote's limits and had no intention of fighting Captain Marvel to the death.
"Lin Feng, is it!"
Captain Marvel floated closer slowly.
Tony no longer advanced, and she didn't attack again, though she didn't deactivate Binary mode.
"Don't use the Infinity Stones. Let's fight again!"
"This time, use your own strength!"
