The era of American comics begins

Chapter 495 The Avengers Are No Longer

"How can you be sure that I am the great Queen Skrull?"

The confident attitude of the Skrulls attracted several people nearby. After going through the turmoil, everyone hated this group of deformed aliens at this time.What everyone wants to do most now is to quickly drive all these reptiles out of the atmosphere, and don't even want to deal with this group of shapeshifters for a second.

"What do you mean?" Tony Stark also came over and asked, "Are you trying to say that you are not their leader?"

"Of course I'm not." The woman sneered, "Do you really think that we will send a noble and great queen to a place like Earth? Of course not. I'm just a substitute for the queen, a weapon used to stabilize the morale of the army." Chess piece. I am a consumable item, and it doesn't mean anything if you catch me. If you and I can be used as a chip, then you are very wrong."

"Oh, that's right." Tony raised the repulsion cannon at her, "That is to say, we have lost the only reason to keep you alive, right?"

Don't care was written all over the Skrull's face.

"As you like," she said, "but it won't change anything. You have won temporarily this time, but that's all. The great Skrull Empire has infinite warships and is famous throughout the galaxy. The powerful army. It has been clearly stated in the prophecy that the earth will be the next foundation of the Skrull Empire, and this planet will become the new core of the empire. Human beings are destined to become a subsidiary of the empire. What you have done is nothing more than It's just delaying the future that must come."

"Okay, that's really enough." Tony frowned, and the palm repulsion gun had begun to charge, and lit up with azure light, "To be honest, I already thought about it before you made this meaningless speech." That's it."

"Wait, Iron Man." Rogers stretched out his arm to stop Tony, and he turned to the Skrull, "You prophecy, what's going on?"

"Nothing," said the Skrull dryly. "'Earth shall become part of the Skrull Empire.' It was fate, it was destiny, it was inevitable—simple as that."

"Really?" Michael stood up, seemingly not interested in continuing to participate in this conversation, "Then we will wait and see. I hope that your 'great Skrull Empire' will not regret this stupid prophecy."

The dust settled on the mothership, and the two-way channel for the short-range space jump has also been established on the Tianjian mothership and this ship.More and more Tianjian agents landed on this ship, and the Skrull fighters were either killed or captured, and the mothership gradually fell into the control of Tianjian.

Of course, Tianjian didn't forget about the hostages.They opened up the Skrull hangar and took several transport ships to transport the hostages who had been hijacked to the mothership back to the surface.

Michael originally thought that he would have to tangle with Stark about the control of this alien spacecraft. After all, the other party is still the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. From an official standpoint, he does have the duty to prevent an illegal organization like Tianjian from secretly Take this alien spaceship.

But today, unexpectedly, Tony didn't mention it at all.He seemed to silently agree with the fact that Tianjian was in control of the overall situation in this matter, and he didn't know whether it was because he understood that Tianjian had taken on the responsibility of defending the earth better than them, or because he knew that even if he opened his mouth rashly, he couldn't break it. It's better to pretend you can't see it
But even more unexpectedly, today Tony didn't even bother the group of power users who theoretically violated the "Superhero Registration Act".It was as if he had changed completely after the Skrull incident, and suddenly he was able to talk.

Before saying goodbye, Rogers asked: "So, the person standing opposite me during our civil war. That's you, right?"

"Yes," Tony said calmly, "I'd love to say it was someone else, but it wasn't. Yes, that was me, not some alien who took my place. The thing I was impersonated was after that."

"I think so." Rogers smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

Tony hesitated for a moment, then said: "Have a nice cooperation, Captain."

Steve Rogers paused.He turned his head and looked at Tony with blue eyes, as if looking at a stranger in a steel suit.

"Don't get used to it, Mr. Stark." He said lightly, "There should be no next time."

Tony watched his back as he walked towards the transport plane, without stopping him or making a sound.

Yes, how could there be a next time?

He knew when he made the choice that what he did could never be forgiven.

He had already lost his best friend in his life.

Rogers was the last to meet Bucky before boarding the return flight.

"Tiring old age, huh?" Bucky said half-jokingly, leaning against the gate door.

Rogers shrugged: "I'm used to it. The doctor said I have a communication disorder. I can't keep up with this era. I guess I'll never be able to adapt."

"You don't have to do that." Bucky paused, "Maybe you can consider joining us? I know it doesn't seem to match your identity and what you symbolize, but to be honest, if you join, you will definitely I found out that this job is actually a good job, which means saving the world from time to time.”

Rogers laughed.

"I know," he said. "You guys are good. Maybe in a way more successful than the Avengers."

Rogers said, sighing leisurely: "I don't even know if the Avengers can be considered a success."

"The Avengers have a very different meaning than we do. All we can do is guard the world from the shadows and fight off invaders like these shapeshifters. But what we can't do is give people hope, let them know There is someone to rely on in the longest night."

Bucky paused, looking in the direction of Michael not far away.

"The boss said it himself," he said. "He said he'd never be like Iron Man, or Captain America, and we'd never be able to replace the Avengers. significance."

"In the past, maybe." The captain shook his head, "but from now on... I don't know."

He let out a long sigh.

"Thanks for the invitation, Bucky, and thank your commander for me. But I'll forget it, I'm tired of fighting. Now, I just need a place to be quiet."

Captain America waved his hand and stepped onto the plane. His back looked like a centenarian with vicissitudes.
