Or should I play dead?
"not good!"
Suddenly, the black-haired bureau chief roared, and the other agents instantly tensed up, fully armed, each drawing their guns and gripping grenades.
Steve: ? ? ? ?
No, it's just a greeting, there's no need for me to pick up a submachine gun and riddle myself with bullets, is there?
Without a shield, he couldn't withstand so many 5.3mm weapons, and he panicked.
However, the next moment, all the guns turned and aimed at Steve's back.
Steve seemed to sense something as well, and slowly turned around, his gaze sharpening.
Then, the next moment, when Steve saw who it was, he was dumbfounded.
A woman, a very familiar and sexy woman, with a pair of wings of light behind her, floated in mid-air, dragging a ball of light in her hand, her gaze coldly fixed on the ground below.
Beside him stood a man with a small mustache, carrying nothing behind him and not wearing the familiar red Mark armor. He stood in mid-air, with something beneath his feet.
Steve rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again.
Is the woman Natasha? Is the man Tony Stark, that playboy?
No, Natasha, when did you learn to fly?
And Tony Stark, where's your Iron Man? Where's your Mark armor? You're standing in mid-air with nothing on you; Newton would be sitting up in his seat!
You're supposed to be into science, but this isn't scientific at all, you bastard!
Your art styles are completely different!!
Chapter 116 Resources of a Universe
Tony Stark looked down at the thawing Steve, a lens appearing on his left eye as he rapidly analyzed the data.
"He really is an extraordinary being, a purely physical one. However, his stats are only second-rate: his strength exceeds 20 tons, his maximum burst can reach 25 tons, and his speed is 27 meters per second."
He frowned slightly. This guy's ability was very simple, but it was precisely this simplicity that meant he didn't have any major weaknesses in certain situations. He needed to use absolute power to defeat his opponent.
He looked the other person up and down, his brows furrowing even deeper: "You seem familiar. You are... the captain?"
“Tony, it’s me.” Captain Steve nodded decisively; he wasn’t one for tricks.
Tony Stark narrowed his eyes: "This is interesting. Not only is an old relic from decades ago still alive, but he also knows me. Judging from your tone, you seem to know me quite well?"
Steve didn't know how to answer. Should he say he was reborn? He felt that Tony Stark, this science-believing guy, would definitely spout a bunch of technical jargon he couldn't understand on the spot.
He glanced up and down at Tony Stark, who was practically standing in mid-air. Well, this guy's current state was anything but scientifically accurate!
Finally, Steve couldn't hold back any longer: "Tony, what's wrong with you? I don't remember you having this... this ability to stand in mid-air."
Tony Stark narrowed his eyes, his brilliant mind racing. This guy, at such an inopportune time, showed a sense of familiarity with him, which was definitely not normal; it wasn't something he had learned through normal means.
Yet, he seemed unaware of his own current methods, appearing to understand himself better than someone who had never been to the realm of gods.
Parallel universes? Quantum entanglement?
Clutching his probe, Tony Stark lifted his foot slightly: "You mean this? Divine Source Thousand Shadow Stream - Miniature Maglev!"
At this moment, Steve realized that Tony Stark was not actually standing in mid-air, but rather there was a flowing, liquid-like substance beneath his feet, about the size of a plate.
"Snapped!"
Steve slapped himself, which seemed reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it became even more illogical!
Even decades from now, in my future memories, you wouldn't have such tricks up your sleeve!
Tony Stark's eyes now held a hint of understanding. Judging from this reaction, it was pretty much as he had guessed. This captain knew him, but only about him under normal circumstances.
At that moment, Director Blackie suddenly shouted from behind.
"Captain, don't say anything more to him. This guy has already sided with the evil god. They are now enemies and very dangerous!!"
Clearly, while he may not possess Tony Stark's exceptional research abilities, Nick Fury's analytical skills are not far behind, and he has already discerned something from their conversation.
We cannot let the two continue talking; we must win over this captain whose value has greatly increased as soon as possible.
Steve was completely baffled. Tony Stark, siding with the god of evil??
Black Egg, do you even need to listen to what you're saying? Don't you know how many times Tony Stark has saved the world?
In comparison, Black Egg, you black-faced and black-hearted fellow are more like the one who has sided with the evil god!
Natasha sneered, "Using such underhanded tactics again. As expected of you, you forced me to defect, and now you want to turn him into your killing machine!"
Steve's expression changed instantly. As he had said before, after spending so much time with the Avengers and facing so many disasters and dangers, his trust in the Avengers was definitely far greater than that of Black Egg, who looked like a black-faced and even black-hearted guy.
"Nick, what have you done! Why did you force Natasha to run away!" he shouted angrily.
The black-faced bureau chief remained expressionless, or rather, his black face couldn't change. He decisively pulled something out of his pocket, pressed it gently, and a somewhat aged, but incredibly familiar voice came from it.
"Steve."
In an instant, Steve was shocked. His anger froze, and his eyes began to redden slightly.
"Carter!"
Natasha and Tony Stark exchanged a glance, their expressions simultaneously turning serious.
The legend of Captain Steve is known to everyone in the United States, and his relationship with Ms. Carter has been woven into countless short stories.
The moment Ms. Carter's voice rang out, Captain Steve was already beyond redemption.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes and disappeared.
"Tony, you hold Steve off, I'm going to kill Nick Fury!"
Without hesitation, Tony Stark nodded decisively: "Okay!"
The two voices rang out instantly, and Nick Fury on the other side immediately became alert.
"Do it!"
In an instant, countless fire snakes erupted, and a massive barrage of bullets rained down on Natasha.
However, Natasha simply waved her wings, and a nearly tangible light shield appeared. All the bullets that landed on it had no effect other than creating countless ripples.
The next moment, Natasha flapped her wings and swooped down towards the group.
Steve panicked when he saw this. He didn't really like Nick Fury, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Nick Fury be killed in front of him.
Just as he was about to move to stop Natasha, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking Steve's path.
"Captain, you'd better not get involved in their business."
As Tony Stark spoke, a layer of silvery-white fluid surged through his body, and the next moment, a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Mark-like armor was attached to him.
It's roughly the same as the Mark Fifty, a nanotech armor from the late game, but the problem is, what are those scary-looking things following behind it?
If I remember correctly, this thing is called a floating cannon. Steve seems to have seen this thing in Tony Stark's blueprints.
Steve's throat went dry: "Tony, you haven't really sided with some evil god, have you?"
He had just thawed and awakened, and those major events in his memory should not have happened yet. His Mark armor should be the initial model. But yours is comparable to or even surpasses the Mark armor in the later stages. What kind of situation is this?!
Tony Stark shrugged: "The divine source school I chose is the Assassination King school, which focuses on transformation, machinery, and assassination. However, I haven't cultivated any assassination abilities; I only focus on transformation and machinery. Whether you call it an evil god depends on your definition. At least, I've never seen an Assassination King indiscriminately slaughter ordinary people."
"????"
What mythology are you talking about?!
Something's off about Tony! Something's really off about him!
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Natasha, who had taken care of most of the people in just a few seconds and was now chasing after Nick Fury with her wings of light. Something was definitely wrong with her. Nothing was right!
Was all of this just a dream?
Am I actually dreaming?
For a moment, Steve fell into deep thought, even ignoring Nick Fury's constant cries for help as he was being chased.
Meanwhile, within Kamar-Taj, two figures stood facing each other.
A screen of light appeared in mid-air, displaying the scene of Steve and the others.
"Is this the captain you showed me, someone who inexplicably possesses memories from other timelines?"
Bader glanced at it casually. It was somewhat interesting, but that was about it. There were hundreds of thousands of universes in the Marvel universe, and many people just randomly traveled between them. There was even a guy who had a kind of portal ability and could travel freely between hundreds of thousands of Marvel universes. If he remembered correctly, his name was Amelica, and he was a girl with a good figure.
Have you ever heard of dream walking?
"Oh, that forbidden dark magic, the one that has the ability to possess other cosmic counterparts."
Gu Yi nodded: "It's the Dream Travel Technique!"
"Someone used a secret technique derived from Dreamwalking to project the memories of Parallel Line Steve over here."
The Ancient One didn't say who it was, but it's not hard to guess from the answer to case 833. In the known Marvel Universe, apart from certain special villains, there are only two people who can use dreamwalking indiscriminately: Scarlet Witch Wanda and Doctor Strange Stephen Strange.
Regardless of which of these two methods you use, using Dreamwalking on a universe is definitely not a good thing.
"What is the purpose?"
"Pioneer, probe, invade."
Gu Yi uttered three words in a calm voice.
In order to find her child, the mature Scarlet Witch Wanda invades her counterparts in other parallel universes. Similarly, Doctor Strange invades his counterparts in parallel universes in order to find his wife.
But if we're asking which of the two poses a greater threat, it's definitely the latter.
The former is capable of killing and going berserk; giving her a man and a child would calm her down. Doctor Strange, on the other hand, is different. A corrupted Doctor Strange might even wantonly destroy the universe.
In comparison, Doctor Strange is more likely to be the one who could make the Ancient One utter the word "invasion".
Badr shook his head: "Your apprentice is far more capable of causing trouble than you are."
Ancient One remained calm: "Being able to cause trouble means you have strong abilities, which is far more suitable for the Sorcerer Supreme than an ordinary person."
No wonder, no wonder there are countless Doctor Stranges in parallel universes, many of whom have turned evil and caused crises more terrifying than most villains combined, yet the Ancient One still believes Doctor Strange is the most outstanding successor.
It's simply because they're highly qualified that they can cause trouble. They only create trouble because they're already free of problems. Otherwise, if they're busy dealing with other troubles, they wouldn't have the time to do anything else.
The real tragedy would be if the Sorcerer Supreme were chosen to be someone who never causes trouble in his life but gets wiped out by any villain he encounters.
