Killian was still shocked by the fact that the man in front of him seemed to have injected the 'Extremis Virus,' just like him. But when he saw the giant molten fist heading straight for him, he instantly realized this couldn't be the 'Extremis Virus'!
His own 'Extremis Virus' wasn't this powerful!
The thought flashed through his mind as he quickly dodged and escaped the attack range of the molten fist.
However, when the molten fist struck the ground, it exploded with a deafening sound, sending scalding lava splattering in all directions!
The massive force caused the ground around them to tremble!
Suddenly, a scream rang out. It was one of Killian's subordinates, who was close to the explosion point of the molten fist!
One of the unluckiest ones had his body almost completely melted by the flying lava rocks…
If he were a normal person, this would have been instantly fatal.
But since he had been injected with the 'Extremis Virus,' despite losing half of his body, he didn't die immediately.
This was due to the 'Extremis Virus''s powerful regenerative abilities, though it also became the source of his agony.
The 'Extremis Virus' had a healing ability similar to Wolverine's, but not nearly as strong.
So, when the unlucky man's half-body was evaporated by the lava rocks, if given enough time, he might have regenerated.
But this 'enough time' would take hours, if not more.
Now, all he could do was scream in pain!
He wasn't the only one injured. Others who were nearby were also hurt to varying degrees by the explosion's shockwave. One man even had his entire foot instantly vaporized.
Killian reacted quickly, but his arm was still severely burned by the splashed lava, and his bone could even be seen through the burns.
This incredible scene stunned even Raymond's group, who watched in disbelief at the sight of Raymond's body flowing with lava!
As for Skye, she didn't need to say much. She had never seen Raymond fight before, and seeing such a spectacular scene now made her even more grateful that she hadn't picked the wrong person.
With such a powerful boss, who could worry about finding the truth?
The others had seen Raymond fight to some extent, but even so, their surprise was no less than Skye's.
This was because the 'Raymond' they had seen before was completely different from the one before them, flowing with lava.
Happy had seen the version of Raymond who wielded two machetes and was twisted enough to stick a pipe into his own head.
Tony and Pepper had seen the version of Raymond with terrifying speed and strength, who could shoot energy blasts with a mere wave of his hand and even use ordinary stone pillars as flying hoverboards.
David and Beth had seen the version of Raymond with a Welsh accent, lazily summoning massive magic circles to trap powerful enemies like the Shadow King.
But the Raymond before them, whose body flowed with molten lava and whose casual attack could severely damage a group of obviously not-normal enemies, exuded an aura of silent, imposing power. He was clearly not the same 'Raymond' any of them had encountered before.
Even Beth, who knew almost nothing about the world of superpowers, could tell that the 'Raymond' before them wasn't the same one she had met before.
Of course, the most excited one was David.
Because he suddenly realized that Raymond was very likely his true kin… a real kin!!
"Is your boss always this ruthless?" Tony pointed at Raymond and asked David and Beth.
"You'd better ask him yourself," David replied noncommittally.
He wasn't sure about Raymond's relationship with Iron Man, and he certainly wasn't going to answer questions about him freely.
Especially when it came to Raymond, he wouldn't speak carelessly.
Though Beth and Skye were excited to see Tony, they knew when to hold back and didn't speak out of turn.
David's response made Tony realize his question had been a bit abrupt, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he continued watching Raymond, who was battling Killian and his subordinates.
No, more accurately, he was watching Killian and his subordinates getting crushed by Raymond alone.
After being injured by Raymond's attack, Killian's arm quickly healed thanks to the regenerative power of the 'Extremis Virus.'
However, this only made him even angrier!
Since the success of the 'Extremis Virus' research, he hadn't encountered anyone daring to defy him, let alone harm him!
So without hesitation, he ordered his subordinates to kill Raymond at any cost!
He could tell Raymond wasn't easy to deal with, but he didn't believe one man could take on so many who had been injected with the 'Extremis Virus'!
In his mind, he had even considered what would happen if he were to face Tony and his Avengers teammates.
The Conclusion was clear!
Because he wasn't alone!
He had a group of subordinates who, like him, had been injected with the 'Extremis Virus'. Even when facing the Avengers head-on, he wasn't afraid!
If he wasn't afraid of the Avengers, how could he be afraid of some unknown person named Raymond, whom he had never even heard of?
"Kill him! Kill him now!" Killian roared.
At his command, except for the unlucky one whose half-body had been vaporized, the rest of his subordinates immediately surrounded Raymond and launched their attacks!
Raymond wasn't the only one capable of ranged attacks!
Dozens of fire pillars shot from all directions toward the surrounded Raymond, creating a spectacular scene, even more magnificent than the molten giant fist Raymond had thrown earlier!
The dozens of fire pillars hit Raymond, and indeed, they caused 'great damage' to him.
His body was riddled with various-sized holes, just like the unlucky man who had lost half his body.
The horrifying scene made Pepper and the other ladies close their eyes in discomfort, and Beth couldn't help but let out a startled cry!
Seeing this through Jarvis, who was constantly monitoring the battlefield, Tony immediately thought about rushing in to help.
But David's hand landed on his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Tony asked, a little annoyed.
"Boss isn't an arrogant person. Unless he asks for help, we can just watch the show…" David shook his head.
Tony wasn't sure about David's words at first, but just then, he witnessed something even more unbelievable!
