Marvel: Starting with the 01 System

Chapter 21 The Avengers Plan

Seeing Pepper Potts sobbing uncontrollably on top of him, even the usually carefree Tony didn't know what to do.

Because Pepper was a woman he valued very much, he himself might not even realize just how important she was to him.

"Click!" A camera shutter sound came from the doorway.

Pepper Potts and Tony looked towards the door and saw Rhodes peeking out, secretly taking pictures with his phone.

"Looks like I came at the wrong time. It's alright, you don't need to worry about me, just keep going." Rhodes waved his hand to signal the two to continue, but he didn't put down the phone he was holding.

Pepper Potts blushed instantly, but she stood up, tidied her hair, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Rhodes also put away his phone and came in.

"Rhodes, you've come at just the right time." Tony breathed a deep sigh of relief. He really didn't know how to comfort Pepper. This was the first time the playboy who had been with countless women had ever felt this way.

"Looks like you're all better now. Shall I find you a couple of young models tonight to help you recharge?" Rhodes was a crazy guy on the battlefield, but in real life he loved to joke around, especially when he was with his friends, which made him feel very relaxed.

"I've already slept with all the magazine models this month, it's boring now, contact me again next month."

"Wow, there's still a week until next month. Is the famous playboy Tony Stark going to be a monk for a week?"

“Rhodes! Tell me honestly, who did this attack?” Tony interrupted Rhodes’s joking words and asked seriously.

This was the closest he had ever come to death, and he needed to know who was attacking him!

Rhodes sensed Tony's seriousness and became serious as well. He pulled out the chair next to Tony and sat down beside him.

“Tony, according to our investigation, they are mercenaries from the central region. These mercenaries seem to be under the command of a strange organization—the Ten Rings.”

"This Ten Commandments gang is very strange. We can only find out the surface information. We are investigating the inside story and organizational structure more thoroughly, but so far we have no news."

"The Ten Commandments?" Tony racked his brains but couldn't figure out when he had offended this organization.

But he knew he now had one more enemy: Tony Stark would never be attacked again, nor would he fight back.

"Tony, don't do anything foolish. Leave this to me," Rhodes said with concern.

He seemed to have seen through Tony's thoughts, but he thought that Tony, a playboy, couldn't do anything right, and that this kind of thing should be left to him, a member of the military.

He was in charge of killing the enemy, and Tony only needed to provide weapons from behind, just like before.

But he underestimated Tony's determination and his abilities; if Tony wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't do.

“I understand, Roddy. I’m a little sleepy and want to rest.”

"Okay, Tony. Get some rest. Contact me if you need anything." Rhodes knew he couldn't persuade Tony, but since Tony had said so, he had no choice but to agree.

After Rhodes left, Tony had Jarvis turn on the 3D projection video.

It features Harry Osborn transforming into Kamen Rider, his henchmen MetsubouJinrai.net transforming into Kamen Rider, and the Kamen Riders in battle.

"Kamen Rider? Interesting, it gave me some inspiration."

Tony used his fingers to tap the 3D keyboard and quickly designed a humanoid wearable combat armor that resembled Kamen Rider, composed of animal and mechanical elements.

However, after finishing the design, he cleared it and started designing again.

"What Kamen Rider? I'm going to create an armor that's even more powerful and cooler than it."

"Let's call him Iron Man!"

At night, Harry was playing PS5 games in his luxurious villa.

"Warning! Warning! Enemies have invaded! Mr. Osborn, should we eliminate them?" The four Humagears standing behind Harry, MetsubouJinrai.net, instantly went into alert mode, ready to transform and eliminate the enemy at any moment.

“Harry Osborn, I’m from the official organization—S.H.I.E.L.D. Natasha is also part of our organization. Don’t be nervous, I mean you no harm.” Nick Fury walked in from outside, hands raised.

He didn't expect to be discovered so quickly; even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most powerful hackers couldn't block the Humagears' detection.

He just wanted to come in and show off, to let Harry Osborn know that he wasn't invincible and that there were still people who could target him.

But unexpectedly, his attempt to show off backfired, and he was captured on the spot by Harry's Humagears, who had come alone.

Nick Fury, with his vast experience, knew that he was no match for Harry at this point.

Harry didn't look up; he was playing Street Fighter VI, Luke versus Chun-Li. But Harry's terrible control of Luke, despite his impressive but ultimately ruthless maneuvers, resulted in him being easily and brutally defeated by Chun-Li.

"You're dead! It's all your fault!" Harry slammed the controller down. He refused to admit his own mistake and shifted the blame onto Nick Fury.

Nick Fury remained silent; he was a skilled gamer himself. He could tell at a glance that Harry was a complete noob, and knew that Harry was blaming everyone but himself for losing. It was best to stay quiet at a time like this, lest he get into trouble.

"So, what do you want?" Harry hadn't really taken the game to heart, and quickly recovered.

“Harry Osborn, do you think you’re the only superhero?” Nick Fury seized the opportunity and quickly delivered his prepared line.

He then took out his projection equipment and started playing the projected video.

“I know, and there’s also the Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, the Punisher, and a few of the Hell’s Kitchen’s night-time heroes, right?” Harry didn’t come to this world for nothing; he had already used his Humagear abilities to explore the network and discovered traces of these heroes’ appearances.

Just as Harry finished speaking, the projector in Nick Fury's hand began to play, showing scenes of the Hulk and Thor in battle.

Nick Fury was embarrassed again.

Fortunately, he was ruthless on the outside but even more ruthless on the inside, and he quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Harry, there are many dangers in this universe. Earth is just a drop in the ocean. In the future, many enemies will covet Earth."

“We need to prepare for these enemies in advance. I have a plan to build a team of superheroes to fight against potential future dangers.”

"I'm naming this team—The Avengers!"
