“Again, you… what are you trying to tell me?”
Red clutched his head, feeling like his brain was in a chaotic mess.
But seeing the police officers one by one fall victim to the mysterious creature, he steeled his resolve and, following his intuition, rolled towards the stone belt.
“Red, what are you doing!?”
“I’m going to try to put it on. My intuition tells me this is the only way to save everyone here!!”
Facing Gwen’s worried words, Red responded urgently, then resolutely fastened the belt around his waist.
In that instant, a blinding white light flashed, causing all the survivors in the police station to instinctively close their eyes.
Even Gomumu was no exception.
Thankfully, the glaring light didn’t last long and soon dissipated.
“Ugh—!!”
However, Red let out a painful roar at that moment, large beads of sweat instantly erupting from his forehead and dripping onto the bloodstained ground.
“This… this can’t be! The belt is being sucked into Red’s body!?”
Reopening her eyes, Gwen looked at Red again, but the sight before her was so shocking that she couldn’t help but reveal an expression of disbelief.
The stone belt that had been fastened around Red’s waist was gone, leaving only a burn-like scar on his abdomen.
And all of this silently indicated that the mysterious belt had been completely absorbed into Red’s body.
Gomumu, as a Gurongi who had survived since the Ancient Times, was also well aware of this. He knew better than anyone the secret of the belt.
And the only possible reason for this phenomenon was that the Aguru Jewel within the belt had chosen this Limdo as its new bearer.
“Humph! You underestimate me!!”
“Aguru, you don’t think you can defeat me, a member of the Ziz Group, by simply choosing a Limdo as your bearer!?”
Gomumu snorted, grabbed Red by the neck, threw him violently towards the open ground outside the police station, then immediately followed, continuing to inflict heavy blows on the new bearer chosen by Aguru.
“Limdo? It seems like this is the general term for humans in the Ancient Times.”
“As for that belt, according to the spider monster, it seems to have a certain level of intelligence and can choose its host autonomously. This is a bit unexpected. I didn't expect the humans of the Ancient Times to have developed a civilization so different from modern times.”
Because of the screen translation.
Tony Stark could understand what the spider monster, named Gomumu, was saying.
This sparked his interest in the civilization of the Ancient Times, and he quickly ordered Jarvis to compile the information to see if any unusual clues could be found.
On the other side, Pepper at this time showed a very worried expression. She looked at Red, who was being tortured by the spider monster on the screen, and couldn't help but say with heartache.
“That kid named Red is so pitiful. It feels like if he’s tortured like this, he’ll die in the spider monster’s hands soon.”
“Don’t worry, this is just temporary pain.”
Tony took a bottle of vintage whiskey from the cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, “This future video has basically confirmed that the kid named Red is the protagonist of this episode.”
“And since he’s the protagonist, he won’t die so easily.”
After finishing, Tony took a sip from his glass, then looked at the screen with anticipation, waiting for the subsequent plot development.
...
“I can’t just take this beating. I need to fight back…”
On the screen, Red was thrown again by Gomumu’s tremendous strength, crashing heavily onto the hard ground.
However, even in such a desperate situation, he didn’t give up hope.
He gritted his teeth, climbed up, then took the opportunity to punch the spider monster hard in the abdomen.
“Boom—“
With a loud bang.
The strong muscles on Red’s arm seemed to be twisted by a mysterious force.
A layer of deep black reinforcement covered them in flashing light, and between the black reinforced muscles, there was golden-white reinforced armor, fitting tightly together like precision machine parts.
And in that moment, his arm erupted with unprecedented strength, sending the spider monster, who had been completely unscathed from dozens of pistol shots, flying away.
“Whew, I’ve transformed. This is the key to defeating the monster!”
Red panted, his eyes fixed on his completely transformed left hand, filled with shock and joy.
Because he could clearly feel an unprecedented force surging through his arm, as if this force could allow him to defeat any enemy.
However, before his joy had completely subsided.
He saw the spider monster Gomumu walking towards him again with heavy steps, so he didn’t have time to think and immediately swung his fist to strike again.
“Bang!”
“Bang bang!!”
“Bang bang bang!!!”
In an instant, the sounds of strikes rang out one after another.
And under this sound that echoed through the sky, Red’s body completely transformed in the intense energy fluctuations. Not only his arm, but also his legs, chest, and head were all being twisted by a mysterious force.
Finally, he transformed into a warrior with golden horns, scarlet eyes, and white armor covering his entire body.
And in that instant, he unleashed a powerful punch, sending the spider monster flying over a hundred meters away and landing on the building opposite the police headquarters.
Gwen Stacy happened to run out of the police station at that moment, witnessing all of this firsthand.
“Re… Red, he’s transformed!?”
