"You almost died!"
These were the first words Steve Rogers heard when he woke up.
"That little guy Hydera... She still doesn't understand how complex and fragile human beings are. She even compressed you into a bioelectric current for protection. It will take hundreds of years for human beings to master the technology of reshaping the body based on current information. Let alone whether you can survive in this unstable state, does she want you to be recorded as a ghost in "True Horror Stories" for hundreds of years? Fortunately, she has a powerful enough father ...Oh no, she is a good enough mother! So she can do whatever she wants, because I will turn everything she wants into reality!"
The blond soldier opened his eyes amidst a series of squeaks at an extremely fast speed, and a huge face approached him in the next second.
"Come on! Let me hear your compliments, praise me as much as you can, because I mastered this technique when I was ten years old!"
"..."
Staring at the close nose, Steve Rogers took a second to consider whether he was in heaven or hell right now, preferring the latter between the two options.
Because the angel is not a narcissistic talker who talks to himself, right?
"Ah... Is it the first time we met... eh? It seems that it's not the first time... Well, let me add some attributive words: the real first meeting between you and me, face-to-face, can't it go so fast?"
The face receded a little, and he could finally see the whole person instead of just a nose.
"Hello, Steve. Welcome back to Earth."
The blond woman standing next to him smiled and said.
She had a pair of brown-gray eyes, the yellow light reflected in them, dyeing the brown-gray into an imperceptible green, and hugged him lovingly.
"……PhD?"
Steve Rogers called uncertainly.
"How did you recognize it? I obviously changed my face."
the doctor asked softly.
"Your eyes. I remember your eyes... can I take these off?"
After receiving a positive nod, the blond soldier sat up from the platform, pulled out the life support tube and monitoring electrodes on his body, moved his lithe body, and turned his head to look at the Time Lord with an unfamiliar face. His eyes were not offensive at all. surprise and curiosity.
"Your eyes are very similar to Hydera, ancient and vicissitudes, mysterious and clear... I haven't seen such eyes in any other existence. So even if you seem to be born again, I can recognize you."
"In fact, three times, since the last time you saw me, I've been reborn three times: from a dark brown-haired Scottish man in a tie to a dark brown-haired Scotch man in a bow tie to an old gray-haired Scottish man in a velvet coat It ended up being a blond Scottish woman... oh, why are they all Scots?"
The Time Lord refuted seriously, but was troubled by the pattern he suddenly discovered. He bowed his head and frowned and thought for a long time before reluctantly giving up on this question, and raised his head and said to the blond soldier.
"Forget it, that's not the point. Skip it and get back to our conversation. The reasons you gave are not enough to convince me. Maybe it's just that you haven't seen too much, kid."
"...you are right, my esteemed 'Oldlady'."
Steve Rogers was amused by the deliberately accented "kid" and the smug look on the Doctor's face.
"What about adding a little love for Hydera? When I mentioned Hydera, your eyes were full of love. So even if there is a little difference, I can basically be sure it is you."
a little bit different.
he said in his heart.
Perhaps because of being reborn as a woman, the Time Lord has a calm and tolerant maternal nature.
"Well, that's an explanation I'm happy to accept. Because no one loves her more than me—including you! If you dare to contradict me, I'll throw the glove straight in your face."
The doctor turned around briskly, tapping his toes on the ground briskly, like a child bouncing on the side of the road.
"Now that you've recovered from the little trouble, I'm going to deal with the big trouble."
"...Wait, Doctor?"
Steve Rogers noticed that the other party took out a compass from his pocket, and the soldier's keen senses sensed something, so that he ignored the politeness and subconsciously grabbed the hand of the doctor who was about to twist the compass away.
"What does it mean?"
"It's just a little trick. Just close your eyes and count a second, and I'll bring Hydera back..." Seeing the man's frowning, the Time Lord raised his eyebrows, "Don't look at me like that, soldier. I Already very dissatisfied with Hydra for finding a soldier - now, let go, and don't give me the opportunity to make things difficult for you at family dinners later."
"You can make things difficult for you afterwards." The blond soldier remained unwavering, "Please tell me first, you were able to find me and Hydera and revive us even though you were in another universe... What price did you pay?"
"Be precise! Soldier!" The doctor muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's not resurrection! I didn't pay any terrible price! Traveling through parallel universes only needs to find space-time cracks. I just spent some time calculating how to make a stable space-time The crack, and which time is the best time to fall..."
"Counting from the time you knocked on the door in front of the hotel, you have been reborn three times now."
Steve Rogers debunks the Doctor's disguise.
"Okay... I admit that it is indeed a bit troublesome to travel safely through parallel universes."
To complete the calculation, the doctor took 1000 years.
He started to calculate when he discovered that Hydera disappeared: calculate how to tear the universe to create space-time cracks, calculate how much energy to tear the universe without causing serious damage to the universe, calculate how to safely pass the roaring land, calculate how to create a stable Instead of just leaving a "LOCK" mark or barely reaching in and knocking on the door, Tardis is always using the maximum memory to run the calculation model.
The amount of calculation is so huge that the calculation is not over until he becomes her.
"In short, the calculation was completed when I was reborn. Unfortunately, there is still an error in the space-time coordinates. When I fully arrived in your universe, Hydera had already done all the stupid brilliant things, just like her father.
"Fortunately, the mimetic shell made of Tardis's circuits stored your information and sent it back to Tardis. The information, plus the remaining bioelectricity, I only need to spend a little more time to activate you in the confessional compass! "
"...the calculations alone took 1000 years."
Steve Rogers couldn't help but increase his strength, stopping the time lord's actions tighter and deeper.
"Then how long will it take to resurrect us?"
Under the steadfast gaze of the blond soldier, the Time Lord finally confessed the truth like a frost-beaten eggplant.
"...that's why I hate soldiers. You guys are always so annoyingly sharp."
the doctor whispered.
"You and Hydera, although your basic data is still there, you have completely lost your 'individuality'. Your strength, vitality, time... are all wasted by you. Even if I have your files, I can only Can spend as long as your past years to help you regain what you lost."
Now that time is lost, spend the same amount of time growing up again.
"But don't worry, you will complete this process in my confession compass."
She gestured to Steve Rogers to look at the golden compass in her hand.
"The confession compass was originally used for the dying time lord to face his demons and rest in peace... But after some things, I discovered its magical effect. It became the most feared confinement room in Hydera."
The Time Lord smiled, a smile that contained both love and pity.
"The time in the confession compass runs independently. After life enters and activates it, the compass will run, and the program inside will interpret you, find what you are most afraid of, manifest it, and force you to confess. In In this, it is impossible to come out without telling the answer that the compass wants, and even if [-] million years, billion years, or hundreds of billions of years have passed in the compass, it is only a second outside... It is just life entering and coming out That second."
"I lived for 100 years..." Steve Rogers tightened his jaw, "You are inside, facing your worst fears, for a full 100 years...?"
"Don't look at me like that. To the Time Lord, 100 years is just a snap of the fingers."
The Doctor stroked the blond soldier's cheek reassuringly with his free hand.
"Don't worry about me. Close your eyes, child, and I will bring Hydera out the next second you open it."
but……
Steve Rogers pursed his lips.
This is not the same.
Hydera has lived for 140 billion years.
Not even a Time Lord could have such a long lifespan.
He asked: "Does one have to go in with Hydra?"
"Necessary. Because Hydera's mimic shell has been broken, she can't think, and she can't repent. The compass can't recognize her, so it can't work. Someone must go in with her to activate the compass...
"More importantly, there is the only teleportation point to my hometown Gallifrey in the penance compass. Hydra's injuries are too serious, the penance compass can only restore her time, it can't heal her, even I can do it No. But my compatriots can.
"Believe me, they've been preparing for this day for a long, long time."
All the Time Lords who were saved by the first Hydra... have been studying how to discover, listen, accommodate since the moment the first Hydra died before them in a grand suicide of creation , Healing this race, from the birth of the universe, to the accidental detection of the breath of the second Hydera, and finally to the present.
Thanks to the first Hydera, he left the spark of life after creating the universe, so that the time lords after 140 billion years finally had the opportunity to atone for their sins.
"Thank you Time Lord."
Steve Rogers exhaled and said to the shadow in front of him.
"If I permanently lose the chance to meet her because of something like time, I can't accept it anyway; thank the Lord of Time for allowing me to cross the fragile body of human beings, my powerlessness, and the 140 billion years of time." Tianlei, how can I give up such a good opportunity to others?"
He looks calm.
Compared with him who just met azbantium and got all his memories back, he almost collapsed. Now Steve Rogers is very calm.
Even when forced to face his worst fears: powerlessness and death...he has no fear, no flinching.
"Although I strongly begged the doctor to let me in, I am also human... a fragile person made of bones and flesh, and I am also afraid and fragile." The blond soldier smiled hard, "So in case I Temporarily evading confession, leading to wasted efforts, I specifically entrusted the doctor to interfere with the compass, and asked you to force me to answer that question."
... After all this, do you still love her?
"I know, as long as I say that I can't do it, I'm tired and I can't hold on anymore, I can leave the compass..."
But is there even a question?
"I will never say the answer you want, and there will be no confession about it! On the contrary... I will do the most impossible thing for this question!"
He leaned against the wall of eternity, turned his body slightly, and with the strength he had just recovered, mustered up the courage to hit the wall again.
"I'm going to take her out of here...uh...!"
He gasped in pain.
"Okay... this might take a while... so would you like to hear me tell you a story? Hydra's favorite."
He packs another punch.
"There once was an emperor... who asked a shepherd boy 'How much eternity is there...'"
But the shadow finally caught up with him and pierced his chest with a scythe.
In the wailing of pain, the life-severing sickle left the body whose time was running out, and the black shadow turned into light and shadow and disappeared into the air.
The soldier without any support fell to the ground.
……
There is only one super soldier in the world.
Only Steve Rogers insisted on completing all the transformations and fully adapted to the original transformation serum.
So even the scientists who modified him don't know how much the cells belonging to the super soldiers... really want to be alive.
A hand slowly stretched out, holding down the cold corridor.
The other hand struggled forward trembling.
crawl.
Steve Rogers' chest was completely pierced.The scythe is like a harvesting weapon of a real god of death. The wound it stabs can't heal at all. The blood and heat rush out and collapse, and the cold air spreads into the open chest cavity, surrounding the internal organs, and gradually tightening. , too tight to breathe.
But his body, the part of the super soldier, was not willing to die. The cells were rapidly dividing, the organs were rapidly producing blood, and the brain was rapidly ordering, forcing him to survive and wake up.
——In his body, a most tragic contest with death is erupting.
In his current situation, it would take about a day and a half to reach the top of the tower, and if he was lucky, he would spend another day to descend to the original room.
The blond soldier climbed slowly, as if he had returned to a time when he was emaciated and sick, to drill the longest section of barbed wire with the sharpest barbs.
But he has to.
He crawled through the corridors, climbed the steps, and, under the watchful eye of the unconscious Hydra, climbed into the descending steps.
Wherever he crawled, there were dried blood.
He knew it from the beginning: the clinic he rejected, the portraits of Hydra, the creatures of his nightmares... This was his own torture chamber, specially prepared for him.And those skeletons in the water...
How could there be other prisoners in his hell?
The obvious answer is that there were never any other prisoners.
From start to finish, it's just him.
He climbed to the end of the descending steps, tried his best to support himself, and opened the closed stone door.
He's just been here...for a long time.
long time.
He leaned against the wall and came to the blackboard, because there was no writing on it because of the reset of the castle.So he picked up the chalk, threw it on the blackboard, and tremblingly wrote intermittently:
"A box in a sealed jar, put on your earphones, and find"...
The following words could not be written down.
Chalk shattered into knots.
He fell to the ground.
The doctor said that the confession compass will reset, and each room will return to its original state within a certain period of time.Then, the lightwave transmitter in the clinic will also reset.
He once learned from Hydera that the light wave transmission machine can obtain and record the information of living beings, decompose the living beings into atoms that are convenient for transmission, and re-aggregate according to the previously recorded light wave data after arriving at the destination.
This teleporter was only used by him when the doctor took him out of the compass.
With his last breath, Steve Rogers climbed to the conveyor operator's platform.
The room has been reset to the state it was in before he got here, which means that the copy of him from when he first used the teleporter is still saved on the hard drive.
……he.
Totally him, the way he arrived here in the first place.
He was 9000 years ago.
Now all he has to do is find some energy...
With trembling fingers, he picked up two electrode pads and slowly stuck them on both sides of his forehead.
And to get energy, you just need a little fuel.
"...Thank you, Doctor, for making me a small device so that I can hear you all the time."
Steve Rogers listened almost greedily to the steady breathing in his earphones, smiling at his still unconscious lover.
"But it's a pity... the first me was out of the compass in a coma... I don't have the memory behind it, and it will take me a long time to find you again. Fortunately, the doctor found a way to back up my memory to the end of the compass Hardness is also a place of weakness.”
As long as he touches the Wall of Eternity, the memories lost due to the reset will be transmitted back to his brain.
He can also immediately understand what he needs to do.
Steve Rogers slowly pulled the handle down.
——The electric current ignited him instantly.
In the burning pain, he fell to the ground, listening to the engine running sound of the conveyor being activated, like the regular rustling sound of a hand-held mechanical fan pulling the bellows and turning the gears.
"Burning the old me...remaking the new me..."
To spend these 140 billion years in the way of repeatedly consuming oneself.
Fortunately, he noticed the strangeness of the doctor, and fortunately he chose to replace the doctor forcefully.
The dying blond soldier thought vaguely.
Being able to be so taboo about entering the compass, trying to hide the price from him, calculated every step in the compass... that wise, old, fragile yet strong Time Lord... probably did this for someone.
How could he let her go through it again?
Moreover, he and Hydera had already agreed.
"And I promise you wil my soul, I will always by your side..."
- I swear on my soul, I will always be by your side.
The trembling fingers lifted up, little by little, and wrote a word in the sand.
The blond soldier disappeared completely, turning into a handful in the thick sand on the ground.
After a few engine runs, the golden light gradually brightened and faded, and Steve Rogers woke up in the transparent device.
The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes were in a daze and he didn't know how long time had passed, but they quickly turned back to clear blue.
This is where?He still remembers the arms coming from behind, biting Barbatos' throat, and the rationality that gradually melted away... He has accepted the disappearance of himself calmly, but opened his eyes the next second, Came into a strange device.
Is he dead?
The blond soldier raised his foot, and the transparent device automatically opened a door.He tentatively walked out of the device, not paying attention to the sand under his feet, and the moment he stepped in, his legs were immediately stained with dust.
After casually slapping the dust a few times, he straightened up, looked around in confusion, and then frowned inexplicably.
He found the earphones and walked out of the house, broke the glass in the chase with the shadow, jumped off the castle, found a room with a fireplace, changed into dry clothes, dug up the garden, chiseled the disappearing words on the corridor, and made up his mind to go back to In the first room, pick up the skull with electrodes on its forehead and find the word "bird" written in the sand.
Walking into the hidden passage, he climbed up the steps and stood on the roof. He looked up and found Hydera. Although her breathing was very weak, the super soldier could still catch it after trying hard.He put the skeleton in his hand on the edge of the stage, and soon fell into the water due to the vibration of the castle, mixing with the skeletons at the bottom of the water.
He finally found room NO.13.
As he punched the wall, he spoke staccatoly.
"He asked a shepherd boy, 'How many seconds are there in eternity?'"
The scythe pierced him.
For two and a half days, he climbed back to the room with his increasingly cold body, wrote the unfinished sentence on the blackboard, put on electrodes, and teleported himself——
Him 3 years ago.
The machine engine sounded, and the blond soldier found the earphones and walked out of the house. He encountered a dark shadow in the corridor, saw the underwater skeleton, sat on the first floor to eat, walked up the spiral steps, and looked up to find Hydera.Although her breathing is very faint, it can still be detected by sensitive super soldiers.The skeleton on the edge of the stage fell into the water due to the vibration, and he finally found room NO.13.
"'How many seconds in eternity?' Shepherd boy..."
His hand slipped from the obvious recess in the wall.
The scythe pierced him.
He crawled back into the room, put on the electrodes, wrote a word in the thickening dust, and teleported himself—
Him 60 years ago.
The machine engine sounded, the blond soldier found the earphones and walked out of the house, found the portrait of Hydera, jumped off the castle, changed into dry clothes, saw the message at the bottom of the pit, picked up the skeleton, and looked up to see Hydera.Although her breathing was faint, the super soldier was quick to notice it.The skeleton fell into the water, and he finally found room NO.13.
"'How many seconds in eternity?' said the shepherd boy..."
The scythe pierced him.
300 million years ago.
The machine engine sounded, and the blond soldier found the earphone and walked out of the house, crushed the dry petals, found the box in the clothes, and looked up to see Hydera.Her breathing was weak but steady.Under the tide, he walked into room NO.13.
"'How many seconds in eternity?' Shepherd boy..."
His hands were torn apart, and he slammed into the large depressions on the wall, talking intermittently.
"The shepherd boy said, there is such a diamond mountain..."
The scythe pierced him.
Five hundred million years.
The blond soldier found the headset and walked out of the house, sat in front of Hydera's portrait, walked to the rooftop and found Hydera.God, she was breathing so hard, and there was a breath of life in every surge.He walked into room No.13 amidst the sound of reassuring breathing.
"'How many seconds are there in eternity?' said the shepherd boy. There is such a diamond mountain. It takes one hour to climb it, and one hour to go around it...!"
In a tunnel that was smashed through in the thick wall, he swung his fist and smashed at the wall of eternity that was four hundred times harder than diamonds.
"Every 100 years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on Diamond Hill..."
The scythe pierced him.
Year 100 million.
"When this whole mountain is smoothed, the first second of eternity has just passed!"
Year 130 million.
The blond soldier didn't wear headphones anymore, because Hydera's powerful breathing sound was so thin, and every surge swept every corner of the compass with the magnificence of life.
This is the 140 billionth year.
"You must have thought that was a damn long time."
Steve Rogers threw every punch he could against the thin wall of eternity.
"The way I see it, that's really..."
Swing the next punch!
"Crack."
This time it wasn't his bones that were broken.
A crack appeared under his fist on the last layer of thin eternal wall, and then a crack gradually extended into a few strands, spreading into a spider web amidst the crisp cracking sound, the spider web quickly gnawed around, and the rhombus-shaped cracks spread Spread out and expand to the entire front!
Steve Rogers held his breath, reached out and gave it a little push.
The eternal wall completely shattered before his eyes.
Fresh sunlight and air poured into the eternal penitent compass, and the black shadow that swung the sickle retreated instantly, collapsing and shattering into golden gears all over the place.The blond soldier couldn't help laughing as he looked down at the impotence and death that had been chasing him for eternity now crumbling beneath his feet.
"In my opinion, that is really a bird that wants to die!"
"Steve!"
The doctor's voice sounded from the depths of the penance compass, and the moment the blond soldier smashed the compass, she was able to use the damage to drive the Tardis out of the shattered wall of eternity.She slammed the door open and threw herself on the exhausted blond soldier.
"……PhD."
Steve Rogers fell into his warm embrace, watching a group of time lords in red robes rushing into the passageway he shattered with a bunch of messy equipment that had already been prepared.
"Doctor, I did it."
"Yes, yes, you did."
The blond-haired Time Lord sighed lovingly, and hugged the tired man in his arms.
"For 140 years, you didn't say that sentence... It was beyond my expectation, I was already prepared to replace you."
"Otherwise why would I let you set that question?"
The sun was pouring down from above, and Steve Rogers squinted his eyes.
"How could I say that... I can't stop loving her because of some setbacks, because I am far more than everyone thinks..."
Worship her, admire her, admire her, desire her.
……she.
He saw the group of time lords who had just poured in swarm out to stand on both sides of him, he raised his head slightly, stared at the aisle that was let out, and there was endless calm love in his eyes.
A warm and full-bodied blonde from eternity.
"You're Captain America..." She smiled and walked towards him, "...Steve Rogers?"
"Yes, I'm Captain America." Steve Rogers responded with a smile, "Do you like what you see?"
"Liar, Captain America doesn't look like this in textbooks."
Goldilocks came up to him, knelt down, and took his cheek.
"It's ok……"
He propped himself up and put his arms around her.
"For my difference, you have the rest of your life to understand."
On this planet known as "the shining pearl of the seven galaxies", crimson grass grows wildly, and the mountaintops are covered with pure white snow.At this time the second sun rose from the south, and the top of the mountain was shining brightly.The trees with their silvery leaves rustled above their heads as the wind blew across the ground, reflecting Gallifrey's two suns, and the whole forest seemed to be in full bloom.
A pair of lovers sit under this burning forest, kissing each other's soul devoutly.
The author says:
There was once an emperor who asked a shepherd boy: "How many seconds are there in eternity?" Then the shepherd boy said: "There is such a diamond mountain, it takes one hour to climb it, and one hour to go around it. Every 100 years, a small The bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain, and the first second of eternity is just past when the whole mountain is smooth."
What a bird of fate.

Those who don't understand this cycle can open the comment area. I tried my best to leave a few very straightforward explanations, but in order to pursue a certain aesthetic feeling, I still haven't completely connected them in vernacular. The comment area has a complete explanation.
All comments in this chapter send red envelopes!Thank you all for reading to the end of this story!Starting today, I will write a few cute extras. Masters who want to read something can click it. By the end of this article, long comments or a total of one hundred thunders can be clicked on a specific extra content!
Of course, I will continue to revise the previous article, including some references, newly added content and foreshadowing where I feel that the handling is not good enough.
Then the advance collection of the second part of Hydra has been opened in the column, click on the author column to collect it, the name is "Time Lord Hydra".There is a high probability that it is a fast-traveling type, and the protagonist is Hydera and Captain America’s daughter, Xiao Xiaosnake. The copywriting may not be something that can be written in reality [because the outline has not been sorted out yet], but it is guaranteed to be very cute and beautiful.
If you have something you particularly want to see or a good idea for the second part, or if you really want to communicate with me (reminders are not allowed), you can turn to the mysterious shuttle in the comment area.
"You almost died!"
These were the first words Steve Rogers heard when he woke up.
"That little guy Hydera... She still doesn't understand how complex and fragile human beings are. She even compressed you into a bioelectric current for protection. It will take hundreds of years for human beings to master the technology of reshaping the body based on current information. Let alone whether you can survive in this unstable state, does she want you to be recorded as a ghost in "True Horror Stories" for hundreds of years? Fortunately, she has a powerful enough father ...Oh no, she is a good enough mother! So she can do whatever she wants, because I will turn everything she wants into reality!"
The blond soldier opened his eyes amidst a series of squeaks at an extremely fast speed, and a huge face approached him in the next second.
"Come on! Let me hear your compliments, praise me as much as you can, because I mastered this technique when I was ten years old!"
"..."
Staring at the close nose, Steve Rogers took a second to consider whether he was in heaven or hell right now, preferring the latter between the two options.
Because the angel is not a narcissistic talker who talks to himself, right?
"Ah... Is it the first time we met... eh? It seems that it's not the first time... Well, let me add some attributive words: the real first meeting between you and me, face-to-face, can't it go so fast?"
The face receded a little, and he could finally see the whole person instead of just a nose.
"Hello, Steve. Welcome back to Earth."
The blond woman standing next to him smiled and said.
She had a pair of brown-gray eyes, the yellow light reflected in them, dyeing the brown-gray into an imperceptible green, and hugged him lovingly.
"……PhD?"
Steve Rogers called uncertainly.
"How did you recognize it? I obviously changed my face."
the doctor asked softly.
"Your eyes. I remember your eyes... can I take these off?"

"In fact, three times, since the last time you saw me, I've been reborn three times: from a dark brown-haired Scottish man in a tie to a dark brown-haired Scotch man in a bow tie to an old gray-haired Scottish man in a velvet coat It ended up being a blond Scottish woman... oh, why are they all Scots?"
The Time Lord refuted seriously, but was troubled by the pattern he suddenly discovered. He bowed his head and frowned and thought for a long time before reluctantly giving up on this question, and raised his head and said to the blond soldier.
"Forget it, that's not the point. Skip it and get back to our conversation. The reasons you gave are not enough to convince me. Maybe it's just that you haven't seen too much, kid."
"...you are right, my esteemed 'Oldlady'."
Steve Rogers was amused by the deliberately accented "kid" and the smug look on the Doctor's face.
"What about adding a little love for Hydera? When I mentioned Hydera, your eyes were full of love. So even if there is a little difference, I can basically be sure it is you."
a little bit different.
he said in his heart.
Perhaps because of being reborn as a woman, the Time Lord has a calm and tolerant maternal nature.
"Well, that's an explanation I'm happy to accept. Because no one loves her more than me—including you! If you dare to contradict me, I'll throw the glove straight in your face."
The doctor turned around briskly, tapping his toes on the ground briskly, like a child bouncing on the side of the road.
"Now that you've recovered from the little trouble, I'm going to deal with the big trouble."
"...Wait, Doctor?"
Steve Rogers noticed that the other party took out a compass from his pocket, and the soldier's keen senses sensed something, so that he ignored the politeness and subconsciously grabbed the hand of the doctor who was about to twist the compass away.
"What does it mean?"
"It's just a little trick. Just close your eyes and count a second, and I'll bring Hydera back..." Seeing the man's frowning, the Time Lord raised his eyebrows, "Don't look at me like that, soldier. I Already very dissatisfied with Hydra for finding a soldier - now, let go, and don't give me the opportunity to make things difficult for you at family dinners later."
"You can make things difficult for you afterwards." The blond soldier remained unwavering, "Please tell me first, you were able to find me and Hydera and revive us even though you were in another universe... What price did you pay?"
"Be precise! Soldier!" The doctor muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's not resurrection! I didn't pay any terrible price! Traveling through parallel universes only needs to find space-time cracks.

"Fortunately, the mimetic shell made of Tardis's circuits stored your information and sent it back to Tardis. The information, plus the remaining bioelectricity, I only need to spend a little more time to activate you in the confessional compass! "
"...the calculations alone took 1000 years."
Steve Rogers couldn't help but increase his strength, stopping the time lord's actions tighter and deeper.
"Then how long will it take to resurrect us?"
Under the steadfast gaze of the blond soldier, the Time Lord finally confessed the truth like a frost-beaten eggplant.
"...that's why I hate soldiers. You guys are always so annoyingly sharp."
the doctor whispered.
"You and Hydera, although your basic data is still there, you have completely lost your 'individuality'. Your strength, vitality, time... are all wasted by you. Even if I have your files, I can only Can spend as long as your past years to help you regain what you lost."
Now that time is lost, spend the same amount of time growing up again.
"But don't worry, you will complete this process in my confession compass."
She gestured to Steve Rogers to look at the golden compass in her hand.
"The confession compass was originally used for the dying time lord to face his demons and rest in peace... But after some things, I discovered its magical effect. It became the most feared confinement room in Hydera."
The Time Lord smiled, a smile that contained both love and pity.
"The time in the confession compass runs independently. After life enters and activates it, the compass will run, and the program inside will interpret you, find what you are most afraid of, manifest it, and force you to confess. In In this, it is impossible to come out without telling the answer that the compass wants, and even if [-] million years, billion years, or hundreds of billions of years have passed in the compass, it is only a second outside... It is just life entering and coming out That second."
"I lived for 100 years..." Steve Rogers tightened his jaw, "You are inside, facing your worst fears, for a full 100 years...?"
"Don't look at me like that. To the Time Lord, 100 years is just a snap of the fingers."
The Doctor stroked the blond soldier's cheek reassuringly with his free hand.
"Don't worry about me. Close your eyes, child, and I will bring Hydera out the next second you open it."
but……
Steve Rogers pursed his lips.
This is not the same.
Hydera has lived for 140 billion years.
Not even a Time Lord could have such a long lifespan.
He asked: "Does one have to go in with Hydra?"
"Necessary. Because Hydera's mimic shell has been broken, she can't think, and she can't repent. The compass can't recognize her, so it can't work. Someone must go in with her to activate the compass...
"More importantly, there is the only teleportation point to my hometown Gallifrey in the penance compass. Hydra's injuries are too serious, the penance compass can only restore her time, it can't heal her, even I can do it No. But my compatriots can.
"Believe me, they've been preparing for this day for a long, long time."
All the Time Lords who were saved by the first Hydra... have been studying how to discover, listen, accommodate since the moment the first Hydra died before them in a grand suicide of creation , Healing this race, from the birth of the universe, to the accidental detection of the breath of the second Hydera, and finally to the present.
Thanks to the first Hydera, he left the spark of life after creating the universe, so that the time lords after 140 billion years finally had the opportunity to atone for their sins.
"Thank you Time Lord."
Steve Rogers exhaled and said to the shadow in front of him.
"If I permanently lose the chance to meet her because of something like time, I can't accept it anyway; thank the Lord of Time for allowing me to cross the fragile body of human beings, my powerlessness, and the 140 billion years of time." Tianlei, how can I give up such a good opportunity to others?"
He looks calm.
Compared with him who just met azbantium and got all his memories back, he almost collapsed. Now Steve Rogers is very calm.
Even when forced to face his worst fears: powerlessness and death...he has no fear, no flinching.
"Although I strongly begged the doctor to let me in, I am also human... a fragile person made of bones and flesh, and I am also afraid and fragile." The blond soldier smiled hard, "So in case I Temporarily evading confession, leading to wasted efforts, I specifically entrusted the doctor to interfere with the compass, and asked you to force me to answer that question."
... After all this, do you still love her?
"I know, as long as I say that I can't do it, I'm tired and I can't hold on anymore, I can leave the compass..."
But is there even a question?
"I will never say the answer you want, and there will be no confession about it! On the contrary... I will do the most impossible thing for this question!"
He leaned against the wall of eternity, turned his body slightly, and with the strength he had just recovered, mustered up the courage to hit the wall again.
"I'm going to take her out of here...uh...!"
He gasped in pain.
"Okay... this might take a while... so would you like to hear me tell you a story? Hydra's favorite."
He packs another punch.
"There once was an emperor... who asked a shepherd boy 'How much eternity is there...'"
But the shadow finally caught up with him and pierced his chest with a scythe.
In the wailing of pain, the life-severing sickle left the body whose time was running out, and the black shadow turned into light and shadow and disappeared into the air.
The soldier without any support fell to the ground.
……
There is only one super soldier in the world.
Only Steve Rogers insisted on completing all the transformations and fully adapted to the original transformation serum.
So even the scientists who modified him don't know how much the cells belonging to the super soldiers... really want to be alive.
A hand slowly stretched out, holding down the cold corridor.
The other hand struggled forward trembling.
crawl.
Steve Rogers' chest was completely pierced.The scythe is like a harvesting weapon of a real god of death. The wound it stabs can't heal at all. The blood and heat rush out and collapse, and the cold air spreads into the open chest cavity, surrounding the internal organs, and gradually tightening. , too tight to breathe.
But his body, the part of the super soldier, was not willing to die. The cells were rapidly dividing, the organs were rapidly producing blood, and the brain was rapidly ordering, forcing him to survive and wake up.
——In his body, a most tragic contest with death is erupting.
In his current situation, it would take about a day and a half to reach the top of the tower, and if he was lucky, he would spend another day to descend to the original room.
The blond soldier climbed slowly, as if he had returned to a time when he was emaciated and sick, to drill the longest section of barbed wire with the sharpest barbs.
But he has to.
He crawled through the corridors, climbed the steps, and, under the watchful eye of the unconscious Hydra, climbed into the descending steps.
Wherever he crawled, there were dried blood.
He knew it from the beginning: the clinic he rejected, the portraits of Hydra, the creatures of his nightmares... This was his own torture chamber, specially prepared for him.And those skeletons in the water...
How could there be other prisoners in his hell?
The obvious answer is that there were never any other prisoners.
From start to finish, it's just him.
He climbed to the end of the descending steps, tried his best to support himself, and opened the closed stone door.
He's just been here...for a long time.
long time.
He leaned against the wall and came to the blackboard, because there was no writing on it because of the reset of the castle.So he picked up the chalk, threw it on the blackboard, and tremblingly wrote intermittently:
"A box in a sealed jar, put on your earphones, and find"...
The following words could not be written down.
Chalk shattered into knots.
He fell to the ground.
The doctor said that the confession compass will reset, and each room will return to its original state within a certain period of time.Then, the lightwave transmitter in the clinic will also reset.
He once learned from Hydera that the light wave transmission machine can obtain and record the information of living beings, decompose the living beings into atoms that are convenient for transmission, and re-aggregate according to the previously recorded light wave data after arriving at the destination.
This teleporter was only used by him when the doctor took him out of the compass.
With his last breath, Steve Rogers climbed to the conveyor operator's platform.
The room has been reset to the state it was in before he got here, which means that the copy of him from when he first used the teleporter is still saved on the hard drive.
……he.
Totally him, the way he arrived here in the first place.
He was 9000 years ago.
Now all he has to do is find some energy...
With trembling fingers, he picked up two electrode pads and slowly stuck them on both sides of his forehead.
And to get energy, you just need a little fuel.
"...Thank you, Doctor, for making me a small device so that I can hear you all the time."
Steve Rogers listened almost greedily to the steady breathing in his earphones, smiling at his still unconscious lover.
"But it's a pity... the first me was out of the compass in a coma... I don't have the memory behind it, and it will take me a long time to find you again. Fortunately, the doctor found a way to back up my memory to the end of the compass Hardness is also a place of weakness.”
As long as he touches the Wall of Eternity, the memories lost due to the reset will be transmitted back to his brain.
He can also immediately understand what he needs to do.
Steve Rogers slowly pulled the handle down.
——The electric current ignited him instantly.
In the burning pain, he fell to the ground, listening to the engine running sound of the conveyor being activated, like the regular rustling sound of a hand-held mechanical fan pulling the bellows and turning the gears.
"Burning the old me...remaking the new me..."
To spend these 140 billion years in the way of repeatedly consuming oneself.
Fortunately, he noticed the strangeness of the doctor, and fortunately he chose to replace the doctor forcefully.
The dying blond soldier thought vaguely.
Being able to be so taboo about entering the compass, trying to hide the price from him, calculated every step in the compass... that wise, old, fragile yet strong Time Lord... probably did this for someone.
How could he let her go through it again?
Moreover, he and Hydera had already agreed.
"And I promise you wil my soul, I will always by your side..."
- I swear on my soul, I will always be by your side.
The trembling fingers lifted up, little by little, and wrote a word in the sand.
The blond soldier disappeared completely, turning into a handful in the thick sand on the ground.
After a few engine runs, the golden light gradually brightened and faded, and Steve Rogers woke up in the transparent device.
The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes were in a daze and he didn't know how long time had passed, but they quickly turned back to clear blue.
This is where?He still remembers the arms coming from behind, biting Barbatos' throat, and the rationality that gradually melted away... He has accepted the disappearance of himself calmly, but opened his eyes the next second, Came into a strange device.
Is he dead?
The blond soldier raised his foot, and the transparent device automatically opened a door.He tentatively walked out of the device, not paying attention to the sand under his feet, and the moment he stepped in, his legs were immediately stained with dust.
After casually slapping the dust a few times, he straightened up, looked around in confusion, and then frowned inexplicably.
He found the earphones and walked out of the house, broke the glass in the chase with the shadow, jumped off the castle, found a room with a fireplace, changed into dry clothes, dug up the garden, chiseled the disappearing words on the corridor, and made up his mind to go back to In the first room, pick up the skull with electrodes on its forehead and find the word "bird" written in the sand.
Walking into the hidden passage, he climbed up the steps and stood on the roof. He looked up and found Hydera. Although her breathing was very weak, the super soldier could still catch it after trying hard.He put the skeleton in his hand on the edge of the stage, and soon fell into the water due to the vibration of the castle, mixing with the skeletons at the bottom of the water.
He finally found room NO.13.
As he punched the wall, he spoke staccatoly.
"He asked a shepherd boy, 'How many seconds are there in eternity?'"
The scythe pierced him.
For two and a half days, he climbed back to the room with his increasingly cold body, wrote the unfinished sentence on the blackboard, put on electrodes, and teleported himself——
Him 3 years ago.
The machine engine sounded, and the blond soldier found the earphones and walked out of the house. He encountered a dark shadow in the corridor, saw the underwater skeleton, sat on the first floor to eat, walked up the spiral steps, and looked up to find Hydera.Although her breathing is very faint, it can still be detected by sensitive super soldiers.The skeleton on the edge of the stage fell into the water due to the vibration, and he finally found room NO.13.
"'How many seconds in eternity?' Shepherd boy..."
His hand slipped from the obvious recess in the wall.
The scythe pierced him.
He crawled back into the room, put on the electrodes, wrote a word in the thickening dust, and teleported himself—
Him 60 years ago.
The machine engine sounded, the blond soldier found the earphones and walked out of the house, found the portrait of Hydera, jumped off the castle, changed into dry clothes, saw the message at the bottom of the pit, picked up the skeleton, and looked up to see Hydera.Although her breathing was faint, the super soldier was quick to notice it.The skeleton fell into the water, and he finally found room NO.13.
"'How many seconds in eternity?' said the shepherd boy..."
The scythe pierced him.
300 million years ago.
The machine engine sounded, and the blond soldier found the earphone and walked out of the house, crushed the dry petals, found the box in the clothes, and looked up to see Hydera.Her breathing was weak but steady.Under the tide, he walked into room NO.13.
"'How many seconds in eternity?' Shepherd boy..."
His hands were torn apart, and he slammed into the large depressions on the wall, talking intermittently.
"The shepherd boy said, there is such a diamond mountain..."
The scythe pierced him.
Five hundred million years.
The blond soldier found the headset and walked out of the house, sat in front of Hydera's portrait, walked to the rooftop and found Hydera.God, she was breathing so hard, and there was a breath of life in every surge.He walked into room No.13 amidst the sound of reassuring breathing.
"'How many seconds are there in eternity?' said the shepherd boy. There is such a diamond mountain. It takes one hour to climb it, and one hour to go around it...!"
In a tunnel that was smashed through in the thick wall, he swung his fist and smashed at the wall of eternity that was four hundred times harder than diamonds.
"Every 100 years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on Diamond Hill..."
The scythe pierced him.
Year 100 million.
"When this whole mountain is smoothed, the first second of eternity has just passed!"
Year 130 million.
The blond soldier didn't wear headphones anymore, because Hydera's powerful breathing sound was so thin, and every surge swept every corner of the compass with the magnificence of life.
This is the 140 billionth year.
"You must have thought that was a damn long time."
Steve Rogers threw every punch he could against the thin wall of eternity.
"The way I see it, that's really..."
Swing the next punch!
"Crack."
This time it wasn't his bones that were broken.
A crack appeared under his fist on the last layer of thin eternal wall, and then a crack gradually extended into a few strands, spreading into a spider web amidst the crisp cracking sound, the spider web quickly gnawed around, and the rhombus-shaped cracks spread Spread out and expand to the entire front!
Steve Rogers held his breath, reached out and gave it a little push.
The eternal wall completely shattered before his eyes.
Fresh sunlight and air poured into the eternal penitent compass, and the black shadow that swung the sickle retreated instantly, collapsing and shattering into golden gears all over the place.The blond soldier couldn't help laughing as he looked down at the impotence and death that had been chasing him for eternity now crumbling beneath his feet.
"In my opinion, that is really a bird that wants to die!"
"Steve!"
The doctor's voice sounded from the depths of the penance compass, and the moment the blond soldier smashed the compass, she was able to use the damage to drive the Tardis out of the shattered wall of eternity.She slammed the door open and threw herself on the exhausted blond soldier.
"……PhD."
Steve Rogers fell into his warm embrace, watching a group of time lords in red robes rushing into the passageway he shattered with a bunch of messy equipment that had already been prepared.
"Doctor, I did it."
"Yes, yes, you did."
The blond-haired Time Lord sighed lovingly, and hugged the tired man in his arms.
"For 140 years, you didn't say that sentence... It was beyond my expectation, I was already prepared to replace you."
"Otherwise why would I let you set that question?"
The sun was pouring down from above, and Steve Rogers squinted his eyes.
"How could I say that... I can't stop loving her because of some setbacks, because I am far more than everyone thinks..."
Worship her, admire her, admire her, desire her.
……she.
He saw the group of time lords who had just poured in swarm out to stand on both sides of him, he raised his head slightly, stared at the aisle that was let out, and there was endless calm love in his eyes.
A warm and full-bodied blonde from eternity.
"You're Captain America..." She smiled and walked towards him, "...Steve Rogers?"
"Yes, I'm Captain America." Steve Rogers responded with a smile, "Do you like what you see?"
"Liar, Captain America doesn't look like this in textbooks."
Goldilocks came up to him, knelt down, and took his cheek.
"It's ok……"
He propped himself up and put his arms around her.
"For my difference, you have the rest of your life to understand."
On this planet known as "the shining pearl of the seven galaxies", crimson grass grows wildly, and the mountaintops are covered with pure white snow.At this time the second sun rose from the south, and the top of the mountain was shining brightly.The trees with their silvery leaves rustled above their heads as the wind blew across the ground, reflecting Gallifrey's two suns, and the whole forest seemed to be in full bloom.
A pair of lovers sit under this burning forest, kissing each other's soul devoutly.
The author says:
There was once an emperor who asked a shepherd boy: "How many seconds are there in eternity?" Then the shepherd boy said: "There is such a diamond mountain, it takes one hour to climb it, and one hour to go around it. Every 100 years, a small The bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain, and the first second of eternity is just past when the whole mountain is smooth."
What a bird of fate.

Those who don't understand this cycle can open the comment area. I tried my best to leave a few very straightforward explanations, but in order to pursue a certain aesthetic feeling, I still haven't completely connected them in vernacular. The comment area has a complete explanation.
All comments in this chapter send red envelopes!Thank you all for reading to the end of this story!Starting today, I will write a few cute extras. Masters who want to read something can click it. By the end of this article, long comments or a total of one hundred thunders can be clicked on a specific extra content!
Of course, I will continue to revise the previous article, including some references, newly added content and foreshadowing where I feel that the handling is not good enough.
Then the advance collection of the second part of Hydra has been opened in the column, click on the author column to collect it, the name is "Time Lord Hydra".There is a high probability that it is a fast-traveling type, and the protagonist is Hydera and Captain America’s daughter, Xiao Xiaosnake. The copywriting may not be something that can be written in reality [because the outline has not been sorted out yet], but it is guaranteed to be very cute and beautiful.
If you have something you particularly want to see or a good idea for the second part, or if you really want to communicate with me (reminders are not allowed), you can turn to the mysterious shuttle in the comment area.
