Chapter 53: Gotei 13
The next day, Stark Group.
"Slow down!"
"Slow down a bit more!"
"Slow down a bit more!"
"Slow down!"
Tony stared at the three-dimensional projection in front of him. It kept replaying the scene of Lod killing Obadiah in an instant last night.
It was said that curiosity was the source of human progress!
As a genius, Tony Stark naturally had no lack of curiosity. After resting for a night, he impatiently went to his laboratory and let Jarvis replay the battle from yesterday.
After this battle video was slowed down to fifty times, Tony finally saw how Lod killed Obadiah in an instant!
Just as Obadiah's body arm was about to fall, a sword suddenly appeared in Lod's hand!
"Jarvis, magnify that sword!"
Tony enlarged the image several times before he could clearly see the appearance of sword.
The length of sword's body was very short. It was not even as long as an adult's forearm. sword's forehead was S shaped. Overall, it looked ordinary. It was just an ordinary short sword!
"This is... an ordinary japanese sword?"
Tony frowned slightly and felt a little puzzled. "Jarvis, continue playing!"
After the video was played dozens of times slower, he saw that sword's body actually violated the law of conservation of matter and suddenly extended without any basis!
After sword pierced through the body, he cut the entire body in half with an extremely sharp posture and then shrank back at an extremely fast speed, turning into the ordinary short sword.
The whole process of stretching and shrinking was very fast. Even if it were for 50 times slower, the picture was still very blurry and it was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
"Am I seeing things?"
Tony sucked in a breath of cold air and widened his eyes. "Jarvis, did he use this to hack apart Obadiah's mecha?"
"Yes, Mr. Stark,"
Jarvis replied.
"Geez..."
Tony scratched his head and could not believe his eyes. He said in a different way, "This is not scientific. How did he do it?"
It was simply too inconceivable!
It had to be known that the outer shell of Obadiah's body was made of high-quality military-grade composite materials!
The outer armor was forged from high-purity and high-intensity steel. It was even tougher than the outer layer armor of the main combat tank who was still in service. Even his Palm Cannon could only play a role in sending him flying.
And what about Lod?
With just this short arm of sword, who was not even as long as his arm, he split open the outer shell of the military grade mecha!
If it were forjust this, he would not be so surprised. For example, high-frequency wave blades or particle vibrations could achieve the same effect.
But there was one thing that Tony could not figure out!
Speed!
The speed of sword's contraction and retraction was far beyond his imagination.
Even under the 50 times slow-motion video, Tony could not clearly see how fast this sword was stretching, which showed how terrifying it was!
Tony took a sip of coffee, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked, "Jarvis, what is the speed of sword's contraction?"
"Preliminary estimation... it is about 100 times the speed of sound."
Pfft!
"A hundred times the speed of sound"
Tony had just drank the coffee, but before he could swallow it, he was so scared that he spat it out. "Jarvis, are you sure you are not joking with me?"
What was the concept of a hundred times the speed of sound?
This allowed sword to extend and shrink at a speed of 34,000 meters per second. This speed had even surpassed most of the speed at which outer space meteors crashed into the atmosphere!
"This... this doesn't make sense!"
Tony glared at him.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Because the existence of sword had completely overturned the scientific outlook he had built in his life decades ago!
According to the kinetic energy formula, the greater the movement speed of an object of the same mass, the greater the movement ability!
Even if it were foran object the size of a coin, if it were to be accelerated to dozens of times the speed of sound, its power would be comparable to a missile and run through an entire building.
The huge kinetic energy waves produced when the coin was fired were enough to destroy any building near the coin base platform!
However, sword's speed had broken through a hundred times the speed of sound at such a close distance, but there was no huge kinetic energy. This was against Newton's law!
"Lod Carl... interesting guy."
Tony's eyes lit up. He suddenly had a strong curiosity towards this man named Lod.
But it was a pity.
After that, Tony announced that he was Iron Man at the press conference and was harassed by the Congress and reporters. He turned around and forgot about this matter.
...
"Eh..."
Coulson sat in a cafe and looked at the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion across the street. He sighed faintly.
Since the last time he met Lod, 'Soul Society' and 'Gotei 13th', the existence of these two made Fury feel like something was stuck in his throat, so he sent him to monitor Lod's movements.
Why did it have to be him?
Because Fury sincerely and earnestly told him that among all the trustworthy agent, he was the only one who could see the existence of 'death god'. No one was more suitable than him.
Although Coulson himself did not think so, he felt that the director was likely to take revenge for personal grudge.
Because that day when he heard the word "soy egg" from Nemu, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise crazily, and he was seen by the narrow-minded director.
Although he suspected that this matter was a retaliation, Coulson felt that this mission should not take too long.
But he never expected!
Since that day when Lod and Nemu returned home, it was as if they had disappeared from the world, disappearing for almost half a month!
During this time, Coulson tried to use infrared scanning, sound detector, and other high-tech equipment, but none of them proved to him that there was indeed no one in the room.
For a full half month, he had to sit here every day. The waiters in the coffee shop even thought that this man in a suit was a stalker.
The sun gradually fell, and today, there was nothing.
"It seems that he won't appear today..."
Coulson sighed and drank the last mouthful of coffee. He took out two dollars and pressed them under the cup. He slowly got up from his seat.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw that the old wooden door of the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion was pushed open!
One had to know that there should be no one inside!
Coulson was shocked. "Did they come back?"
The old wooden door of the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion was pushed open, and the first to walk out were Lod and Nemu.
However, unlike before, these two people were wearing the same black clothes, and there was a sword hanging at their waists.
"That is... did they return from Soul Society?"
Coulson immediately remembered that the first time he saw Lod that day, the other party was wearing this kind of clothes.
Before Coulson could understand why Lod and Nemu would appear in this form, he suddenly saw the two people standing on both sides like guards, with a hint of respect in their expressions.
"Could it be..."
Coulson's face stiffened, and he suddenly thought of a bad possibility!
The next second.
A man with silver hair, wearing the same style of long black clothes, wearing a pure white cloak, walked out of the Spirit Cleansing Pavilion.
"Gotei 13..."
Coulson's heart was cold and his whole body was stiff.
Whether it was from that person's temperament, clothes, or the attitude of Lod and Nemu to him, none of them proved one thing to Coulson!
That man...
He was [- Gotei 13 Captain]!
