Chapter 54 Are you sweating profusely?

"Wodfack! Tony! You didn't tell me we had to deal with alien monsters!"

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, whose body was covered with sharp metal spurs and roaring wantonly, Rhode felt his breath stagnate.
It's as if the fear instinct when facing the top predator in the food chain comes from the genes.

Unlike Rhode, who had a weaker will and was seeing such a shocking scene for the first time,

Tony Stark, who had experienced the same thing once before, just turned slightly pale, recalling his previous experience of being "powerless to resist."

Even though I am fully armed now, my weapons and energy have all been updated, and now is different from the past.
But Tony Stark still feels a little uneasy when faced with these aliens who clearly possess technology far beyond that of humans and are suspected to be silicon-based creatures.

In other words, Tony Stark, who has experienced near-death situations many times, is not yet ready to completely accept death. There are still people in this world that he cares about...

What's more, he had finally managed to survive with all his might, but still had to face such a terrifying and massive enemy. What a desperate thing it was!
Unlike the two people beside him who were a little flustered,

Link, expressionless, clasped his arms across his chest and, with a slight tap of his feet, began to float up until his eyes were level with the mechanical scout's hideous inverted triangle head.

"I don't like looking up at other people,"

"Tell me what you want, Cybertronian."

By accessing the armored channels of Tony Stark and Rhodes and broadcasting the visual images simultaneously, Black Widow Natasha was also paying attention to the unclear situation at the moment.
When she realized that a very important conversation was about to take place, she immediately contacted Nick Fury, who was still enjoying the air conditioning in the office.
"Report to the Chief! There is an emergency here!"

"What did you say!?"

The sudden communication made Nick Fretton feel uneasy, and he quickly asked about the situation.
Natasha told her director everything that had happened before in simple and clear words, and then waited silently for the director's next instructions and arrangements.

"Fuck Fuck!"

After uttering a catchphrase, Nick Fury touched his chin, his brain working rapidly, his thoughts flying, and after a moment, a terrifying idea appeared in his mind.
"Could it be..."

But soon, the video signal transferred by Natasha interrupted his thoughts and made Nick Fury's heart sink to the bottom.

“Hehehe, this ‘noble’ warrior, I’m sorry to disturb your elegance, but a nobody like me is just a messenger, coming here to convey the meaning of that lord…”

Different from the chaotic, violent, and all-destroying impression it gave to everyone before,

At this moment, [Frenzy] behaved in a "polite" and even "humble" manner.

The hideous appearance seemed a little weird and out of place.

Nick Fury behind the screen had a serious look in his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
"Oh no, things are going to take a turn for the worst..."

Link looked slightly interested.

"Oh? Tell me about it. (Very good, start your performance!)"

"We Decepticons hope to form an alliance with you to jointly develop this special world. You should know that this is a jump point and a transit station. As long as you join us, we believe that we will be able to..."

Hearing the alien monster in front of him speak such flattering words and offer such tempting and sincere benefits,

Link remained silent. He neither refused nor agreed immediately. The scene suddenly fell into an awkward situation and the atmosphere became solemn.

Tony Stark and Rhodes, who were standing behind Link, looked at each other.
(●—●)X2
They could read the meaning from the looks of both parties:
"Oh, it's over."

"I'm starting to sweat a little..."

"What should we do? Tony, we need to run now... No, should we tactically evacuate?"

After estimating Link's flying speed and the terrifying power of the heat ray, the rational Tony Stark shook his head slightly and rejected Rhodes' idea.

"It's useless. If this superman really becomes our enemy and stands against us, we should consider how to escape so that we can leave our bodies intact..."

"Hahaha, Tony, what else can I say? We might be out."

As for Nick Fury, who was watching all this silently in the Triskelion Building of S.H.I.E.L.D., his face turned as dark as a pot.
"Gift crab!"

Nick Fury found it difficult to accept the thought that human beings in the future might become slaves to be driven at will by alien monsters, just like their ancestors.

Therefore, Tony Stark, Rhodes, Nick Fury and others were praying silently at this moment.

I hope Link can be like Superman in the comics, full of justice and standing firmly on the human side.

After a moment of silence, Link spoke calmly,
"That sounds like a good idea..."

Mechanical Scout: ω
Others: (⊙o⊙)
"But I refuse!"

His heart skipped a beat, but soon recovered, as if Nick Fury had been on a roller coaster. His heart suddenly stopped and a surge of blood rushed to his head, almost causing a cerebral hemorrhage.

Finally, I opened the drawer with great effort and took two AP tranquilizers before I came to my senses.

"I don't understand why a powerful being like you would protect these lowly reptiles..."

Seemingly a little surprised by Link's response, [Frenzy] asked,
"Well... tell me what you plan to do after occupying this planet, and I can consider it."

"Hehehe, these reptiles called "humans" must of course exert their ultimate value!"

"Feel the fear, human beings, you will suffer the pain of slavery!"

"You will have to work a full eight hours a day from now on, and you will only be provided with three meals of food and water to meet your basic physiological needs. You will only have milk in the morning, and you will only have an hour for lunch break!"

"Hahahaha, you will be squeezed dry of every last drop of surplus value and die of exhaustion!"

[Frenzy] The bright scarlet mechanical eye on his head kept shrinking, as if mocking Tony Stark and Rhodes who were standing there in a daze.
"Tony, why don't we consider joining this Decepticon group? I suddenly feel that aliens are pretty good. At least they are treated much better..."

"Rod, now is not the time to joke!"

With a slight curl of his lips, Tony Stark also doubted whether this ferocious alien in front of him really understood the situation on Earth.
