Chapter 84: 84 The Girl and the Cannon
[Buffer backpack confirmed]
[Automatic balance system off]
[Ark Reactor working normally]
[Energy capacitor fully charged]
[Prototype Anti-Armor Electromagnetic Railgun "Meteor" deployed]
"Hey, Sister, Bucky, are you both okay?"
Kagura Hitomi slowly stood up, gripping the prototype electromagnetic railgun with both hands.
"Here's the anti-armor cannon you asked for."
When helping Obadiah develop the Iron Man suit, Hitomi had mentioned the concept of an electromagnetic cannon.
However, the energy required for such a weapon was incredibly high, and the materials and capacitors needed were also extremely demanding.
On top of that, it was difficult to miniaturize.
After an initial attempt, she had given up.
Now, the portable electromagnetic railgun in her hands was powered by an independent Ark Reactor, paired with superconducting capacitors.
Although it used the most advanced technology from Rhodes Island Industries and solved previous technical issues, it still couldn't fire continuously.
After 4-5 shots, the Ark Reactor would be drained completely.
"My god, that thing looks insane. Could I get one for my arm?"
Bucky said, grinning. "I bet it'd be such a thrill."
"Sorry, Bucky." Kagura smiled.
"If I put this on your arm, it'd be way too heavy for you."
She adjusted the targeting device on her visor and lined up the crosshairs on the next unmanned combat suit.
"And your mini-capacitor wouldn't be able to handle its power consumption either."
'Boom!'
As they joked, the electromagnetic railgun lit up with a blue beam, firing again.
The girl bent her legs and stood in a stance like a bow, bracing herself against the massive recoil of the railgun.
A flash of light, and the railgun's projectile pierced through the chest of the unmanned combat suit, leaving a red-hot hole where the Ark Reactor would be.
Even with her advanced equipment, Kagura needed all her strength to hold the enormous anti-armor weapon.
It was definitely not a piece of gear meant for single-handed use.
"Hmm, looks like I'll need to make some improvements when I get back."
She watched the unmanned suit slowly fall to the ground.
"It's heavy, clunky, and ineffective—a failure."
While leaping, Kagura extended her right hand, activating the darts hidden in her arm.
The darts, attached to thin wires, shot out and pierced the final unmanned combat suit.
"Electroshock darts, activate!"
With a precise 6% drop in the core energy, the three shock darts sent powerful currents through the suit's systems, disabling it completely.
'Zzzt—'
The wires started to retract automatically, and Kagura, using the tension from the wire, soared through the air in a perfect arc, rushing behind the combat suit.
'Boom!'
The wires detached at just the right moment, and Kagura twisted mid-air, pulling out a blade.
'Vroom—!'
Her vibranium folding sword sliced through the weak spot of the combat suit, cutting it cleanly in half.
"Done!"
Kagura landed lightly and turned to stow the blade.
'Boom!' The destroyed suit exploded, sending flames rising behind her.
Kagura stood tall, walking toward the warehouse, letting the blast's aftermath tousle her hair.
The beautiful girl never looks back at explosions!
"Hitomi, can you hear me?"
A voice came over the comms.
"I can hear you, Natasha. What happened?"
"I think we're going to need more firepower to capture Ivan Vanko..."
Just as she finished speaking, a flash of electricity erupted from the warehouse, sparks flying everywhere.
Natasha Romanoff leaped out of a window, narrowly dodging a high-temperature electric whip that lashed out at her.
On the other side of the warehouse, the wall was torn apart, and Bucky Barnes was retreating, his left arm transformed into a shield.
The energy-deflecting shield was great against kinetic weapons like bullets, but it was much less effective against the high-temperature electric whip.
Though the shield, made of titanium alloy, managed to block the attacks, it was heavily damaged, with a deep crack running through the surface.
"Ivan Vanko."
The girl narrowed her golden eyes and slowly spoke the name of the enemy...
