Shadow of the Beautiful World

Steve Rogers' surgery was so successful that he was up and about the next morning.

It's not that Hua Tuo is alive among the doctors under Fury, although they are indeed world-class healers.

But they couldn't restore Steve, who was seriously injured to the point where he could only walk with a cane, to a walking state overnight.

The reason why the treatment effect is so awesome is because Fury tore off his old face and used a lot of resources.

First, the best healer in Utopia, the alpha mutant Panacea who specializes in healing, came late at night, and then the superhero dagger who got the news and was also good at healing.

The most exaggerated thing is that Fury also used the resources of the Holy Shield Brotherhood.

Hippocrates in ancient Greece, Bian Que, a famous doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period, Sir Isaac Newton, a great pharmacist, etc., these legendary figures from various eras came here one after another.

Overnight, a miracle of life was accomplished.

Of course, with the size of a newcomer like Fury, it is difficult for these big guys, but Ms. Carter and old Steve have a very strong relationship in the Brotherhood of the Shield, and these two people will not sit back and watch Steve with a disability. Posture to live.

It's a pity that scars can be healed with medicine, and internal organs can be healed with supernatural powers, but it is difficult to heal injuries that directly affect the body's origin in a short period of time.

The damage War Hulk did to Steve was horrific.

Using Hippocrates' stage results, Steve may not be able to grab a shield and rush into the battlefield within the next 10 years.

This is news that makes soldiers feel sad and hopeless, no doubt about it.

But Steve himself was quite calm after waking up, especially after knowing that the powers such as the Supreme Mage, Onslaught, and Fantastic Four had already begun to hunt and fight against the Four Horsemen under Apocalypse, he hung up. My heart finally let go.

He lost, yes.

But as long as others can find the hope of victory based on his failure, this is not a meaningless sacrifice for Steve.

After all, since he joined the army, he has always believed in the power of the group

Crack, crack

Wearing a hospital gown and a leather jacket, Steve walked forward with a slight discomfort, leaning on crutches and supported by a young nurse.

He doesn't really want to stay in this base. Since he can no longer continue to fight, he now hopes to go back to his home to recuperate, and take his daughter little Sharon back from the mysterious house by the way.

Although it is very reassuring to hand over his daughter to Ms. Xuanlan, if there is a chance, Steve hopes that he can accompany his daughter to grow up.

From this point of view, being seriously injured at this time does not seem to be a bad thing.

Captain, your shield...

The blond-haired little nurse also looks like Captain America's little fan girl. While secretly looking at Steve's face, she didn't know what to think of, and said to Steve with a blushing face:

Do you want me to bring it over for you?

Shield?

Steve gave a weak smile and asked:

Isn't that thing broken?

It's broken, but the pieces have been collected. The supervisor told me that if you need them, you can take those pieces home as souvenirs.

The little nurse said with some embarrassment:

Of course, if you can, can you, can you give me a small piece?

I grew up listening to your stories and watching your cartoons. I mean, this will be the best gift I have received this year, no, in the past 10 years.

I thought only boys liked those war stories.

Steve smiled calmly. He leaned on crutches and said to the little nurse:

Go and get it for me. You can pick a piece for collection, but don't take too much. If possible, I want to recast it.

Oh, of course!

The excited little nurse almost jumped up on the spot. She looked around and found no one around, so she blushed and stood on tiptoe.

When Steve was caught off guard, he kissed him hard on the corner of the mouth.

Then the little nurse ran out with a series of laughter, which made Steve a little helpless, and he reached out to wipe the lipstick mark on the corner of his mouth.

The captain looked at the trembling fingers.

He pursed his lips, and in the absence of anyone, a trace of entanglement and pain flashed in his eyes.

He had clearly sensed the little nurse's attack in advance, and the warrior's keen senses allowed him to fully follow the little nurse's movements.

But his body couldn't react.

It's like a well-running engine installed in a rusty broken car. No matter how strong the will is, it is difficult for the car to explode with the speed and power it deserves.

Since waking up this morning, the captain has been quite calm.

But deep down in his heart, as a legendary hero, as a veteran, how could he calmly accept the reality that he has become a useless person?

How could he just sit back and watch his companions and comrades-in-arms face the terrible danger alone?

A few hours later, a helicopter parked on the tarmac of the Carter Manor. Steve, who was on crutches, carried a black canvas bag and got off the helicopter with the support of the pilot.

He turned around and waved to the pilot with a thankful smile on his face. After saying goodbye to each other, the captain watched the helicopter lift off again and disappeared into the sky.

He let out a long breath, and then looked back at Carter Manor.

This is the place where he lived when he just woke up. All these years, he has lived here with Sharon. When he first moved here, the relationship between him and his current wife was not good.

Who would have thought that the two of them would come to this point?

And every time he thinks about this question, Steve will have an illusion. He always feels that when Merlin arranged him to be with Sharon, it was out of good intentions...

Merlin, that mean guy, seems to really want to see Steve and Sharon get together.

asshole.

Steve cursed in a low voice, leaning on a cane, he returned to the manor.

It's the same as when he left, Sharon's off on a mission and it might be a week before she's back, but Steve's not alone.

The omnic butler in the manor quickly helped Steve clean up the room and prepared a sumptuous lunch.

This butler was sent by Mechanicus, very humane, and equipped with the most advanced intelligence.

Steve doesn't see her as a servant; instead, he sees the butler, modeled after Ms. Carter, as a friend.

Let's go to the mystery house.

After dinner, Steve changed his suit and said to the butler:

Go and pick up little Sharon home. I may stay at home for a while.

That would be great, Steve.

The omnic butler helped Steve to sit in the latest smart car developed by the Onika Consortium. While fastening her seat belt and turning the steering wheel, she said to Steve sitting in the back seat:

I've read a lot of parenting books recently. Human beings have a concept that a daughter must be accompanied by her father in order to grow up healthily. In fact, the hostess really hopes that you can spare more time to spend with little Sharon.

The omnic butler said softly:

The hostess also felt guilty about how she often left her daughter to go to work.

But she and her aunt are almost the same mold.

Leaning on crutches, Steve looked out the window at the street and said:

It's almost impossible for Sharon to give up her responsibilities...Huh? Did you hear that?

The captain frowned. He heard a sound that sounded like an explosion not far away. His professional instinct made him frown immediately. Facing Steve's question, the omnic butler who was driving also slowed down. up the speed.

The omnic connected to the spiritual network within the Mechanicus, and after a while, she turned her head and said to Steve with a serious face:

There is an S-class superhuman battle in the block ahead, and the block has been blocked. I suggest you return to the manor immediately. Little Sharon will not be affected in the mysterious house, but your current state is really not suitable for fighting.

I...

Steve instinctively wanted to refute, how could he sit back and watch the danger in front of him without doing anything?

But in the moment of rebuttal, he sees the crutch in his hand and the trembling fingers, which dims the light in Steve's eyes.

He nodded silently, and a few seconds later, the black car turned a corner on the road and drove towards the manor again.

However, the captain seems to be very unlucky these days. The car only drove for less than 15 seconds, and with a horrible bang, a sprinkler truck full of water was thrown into the car by throwing a shot put. On the ground in front of the street.

boom

The terrifying explosion wiped out everything around the crash point, and even the car that Steve was sitting in was knocked to a halt by the shock wave.

The mechanical butler reacted swiftly. She backed up quickly, trying to leave the affected battle area, but the next second, Steve, who was sitting in the back seat, widened his eyes, and he saw it.

A familiar figure.

War Hulk!

The monster wearing steel armor, a Roman helmet, a black hammer and a sharp knife.

The big head was attacked by some kind of terrifying force, and it smashed down towards the street in an uncontrollable posture.

boom

War Hulk slammed into the ground in embarrassment. He raised his head and just met Steve who was sitting in the car.

When the four eyes met, War Hulk's gray eyes suddenly lit up with a ferocious, malicious smile.

Bang, bang, bang

Seeing War Hulk reaching out to grab the smart car, and the omnic butler driving the car smashing the glass with a punch, the female robot raised her arms towards the monster in front of her without fear.

Accompanied by the flipping of the mechanical module, a small-caliber impact cannon extended from the arm of the omnic butler, firing four shots in a short period of time, and precisely bombarded War Hulk's eyes.

But this attack did not hurt the furious monster at all, but enraged it.

War Hulk roared and raised the twisted warblade in his hand, slashed at the smart car, cut the car in half, and grabbed the housekeeper who provoked it with Steve's roar, With force, she was torn to pieces.

boom

The housekeeper's deformed head hit Steve's feet, and she still had the light of data in her eyes. She said intermittently and with difficulty:

Get out! Get out of...here!

Hulk! Stop!

Just when Steve fell into a daze, another voice that shocked him came from behind. Steve raised the housekeeper's mechanical head, rolled on the ground, and rolled to the side of the street. He looked back go.

what did he see

Betty...

Betty Ross, that delicate female doctor, Banner's wife, who was supposed to be an innocent person protected by him, was rushing towards Hulk with a crazy attitude.

Although her body was swelled several times by the power of darkness, she looked like a strange woman with stretched muscles and golden runes all over her body.

There is also a strange red skin covered with shiny runes, but the distorted outline of the cheeks is Betty herself at first glance.

She was holding a black two-handed warhammer in her hand. The weapon was rough and ferocious. On the top was a combination of two pyramid-shaped spikes fused in opposite directions. Behind the handle of the hammer held tightly by both hands was a ring decoration.

Purple lightning danced on this ordinary-looking warhammer, which seemed to be full of evil power.

Steve didn't know what Betty had experienced that night, but from her eyes that were glowing with darkness at this time, Steve could no longer see the shadow of the kind and gentle female doctor back then.

He was stunned to watch the scene where War Hulk hit Betty with a mechanical warhammer, but was easily shot away by the latter with a weird hammer with one hand.

What exactly happened here?

What the hell is going on in this world?

Steve buttoned his hair tightly, pain in his eyes, as if everything had changed overnight.

Hehe, that girl made the choice because of her guilt towards you. With sheer desire for atonement and the spirit of dedication and sacrifice, she raised Nur. Territory Destroyer, the most powerful weapon among all Warhammers. .”

The so-called war knight... in front of it, he is nothing but a clown.

But you have to be vigilant, Steve Rogers, a righteous man of God, a legendary hero, Betty hasn't waved that hammer for a minute, and her combination with fear will be deeper.

She'll save poor Banner and get justice for you, but at the cost...she'll lose herself!

Eternal, permanent loss!

Who are you?

Steve gritted his teeth and asked.

The voice replied with a smile:

It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is, Lord Steve, you can save her, and you can save Betty who did something stupid. Compared with a fragile soul that will go out at any time, I also look forward to getting a The soul of a hero.

Coast of New York, go, there is my gift for you... When you raise your hammer, you can save everyone... Hulk, Banner, Betty... you long for everyone saved.

You can choose to refuse, and I will not be disappointed.

The voice dissipated, and at the end, he reminded maliciously:

But there's not much time left for Betty...

Steve has seen a lot, and he knows that this is not normal.

He lowered his head and looked at the mechanical head in his arms that had completely lost its data activity and was crushed by War Hulk. A wave of anger, unwillingness, and strong emotions rose in his heart.

He didn't hesitate, he put the head in his arms on the ground, propped up his body with crutches, and walked quickly to the car on the street.

Ten minutes later, at Hell's Kitchen Pier, Steve drove over. The moment he rushed into the dock, he saw a special-shaped war hammer placed on the edge of the sea.

Like the warhammer in Betty's hand, purple lightning danced on the warhammer.

Steve walked over to the hammer, there wasn't much hesitation in his eyes, it was to save...

Although it's silly to cast yourself in a trap.

what are you up to?

Just as Steve reached out to touch the warhammer, a hoarse voice sounded behind him. Steve turned his head and saw Batman in a black suit standing quietly on the edge of the pier behind him.

Bruce Wayne stared at Steve Rogers who was going to do something stupid, and he said in a cold tone:

This is not your war, you have given your all for this, you should rest, and leave it to us... If you trust us brothers, then I will only say it once...

Go back! Steve.

Don't do something stupid!
