Chapter 220: C213
The particle pulse cannons were ineffective against the Frost Giants' defenses; they only managed to draw their ire. The high-frequency laser ray, while capable of incredible single-point penetration that could slice through most Earth metals, had limitations. Its small size restricted its energy output, and prolonged use risked overheating and destroying the device.
It was a last-resort weapon.
"What the hell!" Tony Stark groaned in frustration, vowing to develop a more powerful MK armor upon returning to his lab.
Fortunately for him, he wasn't the main combatant in this war.
Flying above the battlefield, Tony provided support where he could. A few bursts from his particle pulse cannons relieved Wolverine and Colossus from their encirclement, allowing them to regroup. He then turned his attention to others in the fray, including Sergei and Pietro, who were determined to prove their mettle.
The silver cross swords in their hands were razor-sharp, their movements too fast for the naked eye to follow. Silver arcs flashed through the air, and wherever they passed, Frost Giant heads flew.
But the Frost Giants adapted. They unleashed their frost beasts, using the creatures to coordinate and trap the two warriors. Though the beasts slowed Sergei and Pietro down slightly, they couldn't stop the growing death toll among the Frost Giants.
Pietro's speed was particularly devastating. Even Jarvis, Tony's AI, had to slow down footage by a factor of 100 to track him. If not for the Frost Giants spreading ice across the battlefield and amplifying the frost to restrict his movement, Pietro might have wiped them all out single-handedly.
The rest of the Avengers faced similar struggles.
