There, there is an island.
"Codomatis?" Stark muttered the name of the island country aloud and pondered, "I remember it was a small island country. What's so special about it that it actually attracted the attention of Black Flash?"
The artificial intelligence Jarvis collected information through the internet and quickly obtained the intelligence Stark wanted to know. He then converted it into refined language and responded: "Just last week, an armed rebellion broke out in Codomatis. The Herrera family, which was originally in power, was all killed. The person who is currently in power in the island country is General Silvio Luna."
"That's all?" Stark frowned. He didn't think that the armed rebellion of an island country alone would attract the attention of that terrifying existence.
Jarvis said, "Sir, there are some intelligence messages that have been encrypted by the U.S. high-level officials. Do you want to decrypt them?"
"Crack it." Stark ordered without hesitation.
About three seconds passed.
Jarvis, "It's Project Starfish!"
"There is a scientific research institute called 'Jotunheim' in Codomatis. For the past thirty years, it has been carrying out the Starfish Project to study alien species. This project is likely to bring great harm to the world."
"In addition, Amanda Waller, a senior official of the U.S. government, is currently organizing a special team codenamed 'Task Force X', which is mostly composed of serious criminals from Gotham City, to go to the island nation of Codomatis to eliminate all hidden dangers of the Starfish Project."
After listening to the story from the artificial intelligence Jarvis, Stark couldn't help but shake his head, "Using a group of serious criminals to eliminate the world's potential crises? This really sounds like something that the U.S. top brass would do."
There is naturally no problem in using supernatural beings to fight against supernatural hidden dangers, but the nature of the matter changes when it's done using criminals.
However, Stark didn't care about this, nor did he bother with the actions of the U.S. high-level officials. His target was the Black Flash, whom he had encountered once before!
Looking at the black spot target getting closer and closer to the island country, Stark didn't think too much and quickly issued an order to Jarvis: "Jarvis, call me the No. 1 anti-series armor - anti-black flash model!"
Jarvis: "Sir, at present, that type of armor is only a data parameter and an experimental model. There is no complete product that can be used in combat."
Stark frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice without giving up, "Make it now, rush it, and prepare it for me as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, sir!"
___
Atlantic Ocean.
It was night, and the sea was pitch black under the cover of darkness.
The waves swept and rolled in the darkness, and the subtle night breeze brushed gently on the sea, making it seem very calm.
At this time...
A water arrow swept across the sea like black lightning, breaking the calmness of the sea as soon as it appeared!
The speed of the black lightning was so fast that it easily broke the sound barrier. The air exploded wherever it passed, and an obvious storm condensed around it, raising a burst of exciting waves on both sides!
With a whoosh sound...
In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the sea a hundred meters away. In the center of the black lightning, a pair of beast eyes that looked like burning green flames were swaying!
It was exactly like Mike in the form of a black kitten!
The four cat paws were like helicopter propellers, running so fast that they left wisps of afterimages, allowing him to stay above the sea.
It ran for countless miles like a perpetual motion machine.
Ahead of Mike, a huge island finally appeared across the sea.
He passed through the coastal waters without slowing down and arrived at the coast of the island.
A trace of bloodthirstiness suddenly flashed in the beast eyes of the three-in-one Mike. The moment he stepped onto the coast of the island, he sensed the cold murderous aura on this land!
The air on the island coast was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder!
In the state of Trinity, he stepped onto the beach in the form of a black kitten.
Mike, who had night vision, glanced forward.
It was clear that at the junction of the island's offshore beach and rainforest, a brutal battle had apparently just ended not long ago.
The ground was littered with human remains, helicopter and artillery fragments, and bullet casings. In some places, there were still flames and smoke.
Judging from the signs of a raging disaster, one could imagine how tragic the battlefield here was just now!
However, there was no sound or sign of human movement on the coast now.
No one survived?
"Where is Starro that you sensed?" Mike spoke in an inexplicably hoarse voice.
"Meow meow..." Kerry's response came to Mike's mind: "I can only vaguely sense that it is on this island."
'Perception? Could it be through a space-like ability?'
This thought flashed through Mike's mind, but even Kerry itself had no idea why.
It was still in its cub stage, and its innate abilities as a primordial beast may yet to be developed.
Just when Mike was about to conduct a deeper investigation into the island, he paused, and his eyes suddenly fell on a spot on the beach, where a non-human creature with the appearance of a human-sized weasel was lying.
The other person seemed to have choked on water and was wet all over.
But the subtle heartbeat inside the body showed that it was still alive.
The night was getting darker.
Inside the island...
A team was traveling through the primitive and dense rainforest. In addition to human members dressed in various armed styles, this team also included a shark-like monster that walked on two legs, and a young girl with a mouse on her shoulder.
"I'm so hungry. I want to eat something." The shark-like monster muttered to itself in human language, saliva flowing from its mouth as its hands patted its flat shark belly like a drum.
"Damn, are you sure this guy won't eat us as rations?" A male member of the team wearing a helmet and a red shirt cursed.
"Of course not, he is our friend." The young girl blinked innocently and waved her arms toward the shark monster beside her.
"I don't believe it!" The man in red snorted coldly, holding his special long-barreled pistol tightly in his left hand, "You were almost eaten by him just now, and he may have been digesting you by now. There's no persuasiveness at all!"
"Be quiet, everyone."
The black man who was obviously the leader of the team wore a black uniform and said in a deep voice, "We can't do anything. They have already said that he is the strongest force of our team. Without him, we can't enter Jotunheim. If we don't want the bomb in our bodies to explode, we need to complete the mission successfully and return to the prison. Keep the team moving forward."
"Yes, that's it." As the black man finished speaking, a calm female voice sounded simultaneously in the team members' micro-communicators.
Thousands of kilometers away from the current island, in a high-level base somewhere in the United States...
In the lobby of the institution filled with monitoring screens and mainframe computers, a black woman in a professional skirt was staring coldly at the screen, remotely monitoring this task force composed of serious criminals from the Meimeng Prison.
The black woman is Amanda Waller, a high-ranking American official who controls Task Force X. As long as the serious criminals on the mission try to escape or deviate from the action, she will not hesitate to press the remote explosive device in the member's body to activate it!
"If you want to reduce your sentence, act accordingly!" Amanda Waller said in a deep voice into the communicator.
"I knew."
Among the members of Task Force X, a young man who had been silent the entire time and had strange spots of light on his body responded weakly.
Just then, before anyone else could speak, the eyes of the shark monster in the team suddenly lit up. It opened its bloody mouth like a shark and quickly and violently pounced toward a place in the jungle!
Only then did the other members notice.
At some point, a black kitten had emerged from the bushes of the rainforest, squatting quietly on a stone, harmless and silent, and staring at them with a pair of glowing green eyes.
Looks pretty cute?
Faced with a behemoth that was more than ten times its own size, the shark monster attacked with ferocious force and bit violently.
The black kitten suddenly smiled evilly, with a fierce and murderous aura rising from its body. It suddenly waved its front paw forward.
The air exploded instantly!
Just like being hit hard by a heavy truck, the shark monster still in the air was knocked away immediately and crashed into the rainforest behind with a roar. The two-meter-tall and strong shark body flew backward for ten meters and crashed into several large trees before it barely stopped!
"My God!"
"Fuck!"
Watching this thrilling scene of reversal in an instant, an unprecedented chill surged up from their spines, making the scalps of all the members on the field numb!
The strongest fighting force that was just agreed upon a moment ago?
It can be said that they are indeed criminals who have committed serious crimes. After a brief moment of shock, they simultaneously launched a counterattack the next moment.
The black captain held a large-caliber firearm and pulled the trigger, firing accurately and continuously.
The man in red also quickly raised his wrist and pulled the trigger of his pistol.
The young man with the light spots raised his palms and sprayed a dense and strange burst of energy spots.
