This move had been planned by Lorna for a long time, but she hadn't had the opportunity to try it out because of its immense power. This time, she intended to have a blast.
"Super Electromagnetic Cannon!"
With that, Lorna abandoned control of the metal ball, focusing on controlling the channel-like magnetic field.
The metal ball, no longer under control, didn't fall to the ground but was suspended in midair by the action of the channel-like magnetic field. Then it began to accelerate slowly along the direction of the channel, getting faster and faster until it turned into a brilliant orange light in Lorna's eyes. This was because the speed was too fast and caused severe friction with the air. At this moment, the metal ball looked like a brilliant meteor.
Reaching an extreme speed even tiring through the air, emitting deafening sonic booms. In an instant, it smashed the three tanks into flying debris along the magnetic field channel, while the people inside the tanks had turned into blood foam and were instantly vaporized by the intense heat, leaving nothing behind.
After completing its mission, the metal ball had lost half of its volume due to air friction. After shooting out from the end of the magnetic field channel, Lorna lost control of it and could only let it crash into the ground, leaving behind a bottomless crater.
The tremendous force made the earth tremble as a huge crack appeared across the entire plain.
The combination of ability and knowledge was terrifying.
Lorna herself was also amazed by the power of the electromagnetic cannon. She playfully stuck out her tongue and then controlled the iron pieces under her feet to fly towards Zane.
As for whether there would be witnesses to discover Lorna's superpowers, Zane had already checked. Now, except for Tony Stark, there was no one alive on the entire battlefield.
Tony was also unlucky enough. First, he ran outside the car just like in the original story, and then he was knocked unconscious by the cannonballs made by his own company. The scattered fragments pierced through his bulletproof vest as if penetrating a piece of paper, directly entering his body along with his bloodstream, flowing towards his internal organs.
Bastis by Tony's side did not intervene because Zane's order to her was to not let Tony die. Well, he hasn't died yet.
However, things weren't over yet. The tank fragments shattered by Lorna's electromagnetic cannon carried powerful kinetic energy and smashed towards the unconscious Tony. This time, Bastis intervened to intercept these fragments, otherwise, Tony would definitely have turned into a puddle of flesh.
"Zane, am I awesome!"
After flying to the mountaintop, Lorna jumped into Zane's arms excitedly.
"Awesome, awesome, my girl is the most awesome." Zane hugged Lorna affectionately and patted her back.
At the same time, through soul communication, Zane said to Bastis, "The rest is up to you. You can come back after Tony Stark is safe. Remember, only intervene when he's about to die. You don't need to worry about the rest, understood?"
"Understood, master. You can rest assured."
"Good, I'll reward you with a basin of premium salmon when you come back."
"Thank you, master!" Bastis next to Tony couldn't help but drool.
Bastis stayed by Tony's side for a long time, considering whether to help Tony heal his wounds to prevent him from dying from blood loss. Finally, several people dressed in Middle Eastern attire came to the battlefield and took him away.
Meanwhile, Zane had already teleported back to the villa in the United States with Lorna and Anna. Only fools would eat sand in that ghostly place in Afghanistan.
Upon returning home, Anna, with her keen business sense, bid farewell to Zane and immediately returned to the company. Then, she vigorously bribed the media to report on the disappearance of Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries. As a result, the stock price of Stark Industries plummeted, and Skynet Technology, as Stark's rival, seized the opportunity to establish many connections and secure large orders.
That night, S.H.I.E.L.D. came knocking on the door again. Having learned their lesson from five years ago, they didn't employ stealth tactics this time. Instead, Nick Fury, accompanied by his deputy Maria Hill, personally paid a visit.
With Zane's permission, the villa's AI butler, "Polaris," opened the door and let them in.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zane."
At this moment, Zane was sitting on the sofa, holding Lorna and watching TV, completely ignoring this bald egghead.
Nick Fury, whose skin was as thick as a bulletproof vest, wasn't embarrassed either. He repeated his words again, but this time with a raised voice. Only then did Zane turn his head to look at them.
"Just say it if you have something. You're disturbing my private life with my girlfriend late at night. You should be grateful that I'm in a good mood today, or else you wouldn't be so intact right now!" Zane said bluntly.
He had no good feelings toward S.H.I.E.L.D. In Zane's view, S.H.I.E.L.D. was an organization that considered itself superior to the world, constantly meddling in affairs under the guise of supervision. Many people who originally had no intention of harming society were deceived into becoming their lackeys. And when something went wrong, they disappeared, leaving the individuals to take the blame.
Dr. Banner was a perfect example. Originally, he knew he would turn into the raging Hulk and harm those around him, so he secluded himself far from his hometown, living a simple but peaceful life.
Then they tricked him into coming out to fend off aliens, and after the aliens were repelled, they left Banner to fend for himself.
He didn't even know how many people in New York City hated the Hulk because of the loss of their loved ones. The movies didn't express it, but Zane didn't believe that the Hulk, who lacked rationality in the early stages, could precisely target only the aliens.
