Chapter 579: Fire Element Departure
After Strange reversed time, Tony and others returned to the moment when they were checking whether there were any remnants of the water element core.
After receiving an emergency notice from Egghead, I learned that Thor and Max could not eliminate the wind element, so I hurriedly set out to rush there.
At this time, he was still on the way back in the Quinjet piloted by Captain America, but as soon as he entered North America, he received another notification from Pepper.
Tony immediately ordered Jarvis to pull up satellite images of Mount St. Helens in Washington State.
The situation of Mount St. Helens was immediately projected by Jarvis in front of several people.
"What happened?" Natasha walked over with the Meow Hammer.
"Pietro asked Pepper to tell me that Master Ancient One said that a violent fire elemental is about to break out of the ground!"
As soon as Tony finished speaking, he saw the Mount St. Helens in the projection suddenly erupt!
He frowned, "What? Jarvis! When was this image taken!"
"Five minutes ago!"
"All the Iron Legion stationed there are dispatched! Delay the fire element at all costs! Captain! Notify Barton and the others! Tell him we need the power of the Hulk!"
Captain America nodded and began to contact Banner and others who were rescuing disaster victims in Africa.
Egghead also learned what happened at Mount St. Helens, and for a moment he was even more confused.
The strengthened wind element had not been resolved yet, and the fire element appeared again. Moreover, they only had half a day to evacuate the people, so there was no time to evacuate many people.
The screen in front of him was also split into two sides. One side was the wind element battlefield where Rhodes was, and the other side was the real-time view of Mount St. Helens.
When he saw a large amount of magma erupting from the top of Mount St. Helens and a fiery red giant hundreds of meters tall crawling out of the crater, he couldn't help but cover his head.
In that desolate land shrouded in thick smoke, a three-hundred-meter-tall fire elemental giant slowly stood up on the top of the mountain.
Then it began to go down the mountain. With every step it took, the earth trembled. Hot magma flowed from the cracked ground, burning large tracts of forest.
The giant's entire body was wrapped in blazing flames, which looked like wildly dancing red ribbons. The hot breath blew in his face, causing the surrounding air to distort and deform.
A large amount of magma flowed down its thick limbs, gathering into hot lakes on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound.
What's even more strange is that its body is covered with dark purple lines. These lines are like mysterious runes, flashing a cold light, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding flames.
They are winding and twisting, as if they are the embodiment of some ancient spell, containing unknown and terrifying power.
Through the hot magma, we came to the inside of its body. At the core of the fire element, there was a mark emitting a mysterious light.
That is the symbol of Dormammu's power. Every time the mark flashes, it seems to release powerful energy fluctuations, making the surrounding flames burn more fiercely.
It raised its huge head and let out an earth-shaking roar, the sound like rolling thunder, shaking the nearby rocks to fall.
This giant fire elemental was like a messenger from hell. Wherever it went, there was a sea of fire and destruction, filling all living beings who saw it with endless fear.
"How is the evacuation going there?"
Egghead looked at the Fire Elemental, which was so terrifying as soon as it appeared, and asked in a low voice.
Hill checked the evacuation situation and sighed, "It's too late! There are still many tourists staying there!"
Nick Fury shouted upon hearing this: "Then tell them to evacuate immediately!"
"Yes sir!"
Hill did not dare to delay and immediately began to contact more departments for evacuation.
"We're in big trouble! This thing! Luckily it didn't come out of the super volcano in Yellowstone Park!"
The dumb guy stared at the fire element on the screen, feeling both headache and relief.
Since the 1980 eruption, magma activity within Mount St. Helens has been relatively quiet.
But even so, after absorbing the magma energy within Mount St. Helens, it still grew to a huge size of three hundred meters.
If it were allowed to absorb the energy of the Yellowstone volcano, its size would undoubtedly become even larger. In addition, the volcano also contains metal substances. Adding the two together, the fire element would become even more powerful!
Tony frowned. The Iron Legion he deployed nearby had already rushed to the fire element as soon as possible and was trying to use energy attacks such as palm cannons to slow down its advance.
Because the direction it is currently heading is Washington, and its goal seems very clear, it is heading for Washington!
Without delay, it could reach Washington, DC in a few hours at most.
But after Tony saw the fire element in the projection being attacked by the Iron Legion, he roared in anger and spewed magma from his mouth, which actually destroyed a nearby armor.
His already ugly expression became even uglier. He didn't expect that this thing actually had the same long-range attack capabilities as the water element.
Moreover, unlike the high-pressure water flow of the water element, although the jet speed is a little slower, the range is much larger, and after a certain distance it can even cover dozens or hundreds of meters.
A dozen or so Iron Legion armors could not stop the Fire Element's advance.
After it found these flies too annoying and it was difficult to kill them all, it simply ignored their existence and allowed their palm cannons to fall on it.
Its interior is filled with high temperatures and has armor in the form of lava.
The Iron Legion, which had not been specially enhanced, could not hurt the Fire Element in the slightest no matter how it fired its palm cannons.
Tony couldn't use bullets to physically attack it, and he always remembered that the fire element could absorb metal to strengthen itself.
So we can only watch it move towards Washington DC step by step!
At this time, citizens inside Washington also received orders to evacuate.
When the news of the imminent arrival of the fire element came, the originally orderly streets instantly fell into chaos.
The faces of the citizens were filled with fear, an instinctive fear of an unknown disaster. They rushed to their cars, trying to escape the city before the fire element arrived.
On the streets, the sounds of horns, shouting, and crying were intertwined.
Cars were parked close to each other, forming a long, impenetrable traffic jam.
People honked their horns desperately, as if this could speed up time and make the road clear. Some people even abandoned their cars and walked, struggling to squeeze through the crowd, trying to fight their way out.
The doors of shopping malls and supermarkets were shaken by the crazy crowds, and the items inside were snatched away by zero-dollar shoppers.
The children hugged their parents' thighs in fear, and their cries were particularly harsh in the noise. The elderly were pushed by the crowd and fell to the ground. Countless trampling incidents occurred at one time.
